19703_ Chérie_,said Madame Delphine on one of these evenings,"why do you dream so much?"
19703_ Mais_, fo''w''y?
19703_ Qui ci ça?_ What is that?
19703_ Qui ci ça?_ What is that?
19703_ Qui ci ça?_called Madame Delphine, in a frightened voice, as the two stood up, holding to each other.
19703Ai nt it?''
19703And do you go to my church, Madame----?"
19703And she?
19703Another question came more timidly:"Do-- do you think he knows_ him_?"
19703But fo''w''y you lill''gal lose doze hapetide?"
19703Can it be?
19703Daz ze way, ai nt it?"
19703Do you not see?
19703Fo''w''y dad is?"
19703Had he mistaken?
19703He allowed a few moments more to pass, and then asked:"_ N''est- ce- pas_, Madame Delphine?
19703He rose and walked once across the room, returned, and said, in the Creole dialect:"Is he a good man-- without doubt?"
19703He slowly said:"Is dad possib'', Madame Delphine?"
19703He started to resume his walk, but turned to her again and said:"Why did they make that law?
19703He took pains to speak first, saying, in a re- assuring tone, and in the language he had last heard her use:"''Ow I kin serve you, Madame?"
19703How can I help you?"
19703How can_ we_ speak of him as a law- breaker who might have saved him from that name?"
19703Is there nothing dreadful in that?
19703Madame Carraze,"he said, partly extending his hand,"you see?
19703Madame Delphine was not prepared for the movement, and on that account repeated her question:"What are you thinking about?"
19703Not to the charge of them who stoned him?
19703Oh, Père Jerome, what shall I do?
19703Oh, where is there any room, in this world of common disgrace, for pride?
19703Oo it was?"
19703Père Jerome laid his hat upon a chest of drawers, sat down opposite her, and said, as he wiped his kindly face:"Well, Madame Carraze?"
19703Père Jerome waited a little before replying; then he said, very gently:"I suppose dad muss''ave been by accyden'', Madame Delphine?"
19703She''s a lill''small gal?"
19703Smuggler-- patriot-- where was the difference?
19703Some think it was Jean Lafitte, the famous; you have heard of him?
19703The law did not stop her from being that; and now, when she wants to be a white man''s good and honest wife, shall that law stop her?
19703Then she began to say something else, stopped, and with much nervousness asked:"Père Jerome, what was the name of that man?"
19703To whose charge then?
19703Where are you going, Madame Delphine?"
19703Will she espy the dark form in the deep shade of the orange, and, with one piercing scream, wheel and vanish?
19703Will she stop?
19703Will she turn aside?

11514Am I not up?
11514And Zepherin?
11514And as life rolls on, one wonders about them,--''Is she happy?
11514And how to prevent such popularity and prosperity?
11514And the friend?
11514And what is the news?"
11514But what does this mean?"
11514Ca n''t you help me, little Mammy?"
11514Can I do miracles?
11514Could he avoid being happy with such eyes?
11514Do I go to market?"
11514Do n''t you think I could tell you when not to let him in without your asking?"
11514Do you hear, Honorine?"
11514Do you hear?"
11514Do you think I hire you to perform accidents for me?
11514Do you think it is amusing, to economize and economize, and sew and sew, just to go to a party to dance?
11514Does that count, too?
11514For do we not gather what we have not, and is not our own lacking our one motive?
11514Goes life well or ill with her?''"
11514Had he forgotten her?
11514Have I not breakfasted before nine?"
11514Honorine, busy in the breakfast- room:[ Illustration:"WHERE IS THAT IDIOT, THAT DOLT, THAT SLUGGARD, THAT SNAIL, WITH MY MAIL?"]
11514How do I know that the mail has not been tampered with?
11514How?
11514Is she miserable?
11514It is strange, is it not, when you consider my life and my rearing?"
11514It was n''t long before she became"little Mammy"to the grown folks too; and the newest inmates soon learned to cry:"Where''s little Mammy?"
11514Love?
11514Madame Joubert must have felt something of it,--she must have felt something of it,--for why should she volunteer?
11514Marry?
11514Men did absurd, undignified, preposterous things for her; and she?
11514No?
11514Notre Père qui est dans le ciel-- Qui a fait ce bruit?"
11514Or must I humiliate your papa?''
11514Remember?
11514Shall I let him in?"
11514She had committed it to memory, as all the others had done theirs; but how was she to know without the list if she had not forgotten something?
11514Ten?
11514The honesty of the officials?
11514Their contents appropriated?
11514Was not his grandfather the overseer on my father''s plantation?
11514What better, after all, can any of us do?
11514What could Pupasse say or do?
11514What did she not unconsciously throw into those last words?
11514What do you think would be said there to the messenger who craved patience of you?
11514What does madame desire?"
11514What does the idiot mean?
11514What is to prevent?
11514What secrets can there be at our age?"
11514What should girls go into society for otherwise but to meet their_ brun_ or their blond?
11514Which one?
11514Who ever heard of her forgetting?
11514Who in the world knows better than he the gulf between the real and the ideal, the limitations between the natural and the romantic?
11514Who in the world wants to look back on it?"
11514Who is to interpose?
11514Why did you not buy them?"
11514Will you listen?"
11514Would it be possible?
11514Would that count?
11514Would there be any place"("any rôle,"she said first)"in any of your asylums, in any of your charitable institutions, for me?
11514You are going to make a fool of yourself now when it is all over, because why?
11514You think I shall submit to have my mail tampered with by a Journel?
11514You think Journel would not do such a thing?
11514You think he did not have some inkling of them?
11514You think he is above it,_ hé_?
11514and am I the only one who had dreams?
11514but who wants to look back on it, my friend?
11514no?

27779And then he turned to the boy:"What have you got on, sir?"
27779And what are you telling me for?"
27779And who''d cook the dinner, not to mention buying it?"
27779And,"Where do flowers go to when they die?"

27779Mrs. Frey carried her pencil and notes, and she looked tired, but she smiled indulgently as she repeated,"What am I to veto, dearies-- or to approve?"
27779Or,"How you reckon yo''angel- twin feels ef he''s a- lookin''at you now?"
27779Should the Riffraffs fire upon the fleet, surely guns would answer, else what was war?
27779So she gwine scrape de Christmas plates fur me, is she?
27779Was dat a gun?
27779Was her father''s mind not only enfeebled, but going?
27779Was it any wonder that FÃ © licie and Dorothea, seeing this, did actually disgrace the whole party by convulsions of laughter?
27779Was it not, in fact, a formal confession that he was nearing the end of his days?
27779Was it possible that she had read but half the truth?
27779Wh- wh- why, baby, what sort o''funny, cuyus way is you a- talkin'', anyhow?"

27779What have you heard, mammy?"
27779What merit entitling it to special consideration had the little story?

27779Where are we truly, daughter?
27779Who could be poorer than she?"
27779Why not slip a few of these tempting eggs into the bottom of the basket and cover them up with ripe figs?
27779Whyn''t you ax fur des one_ lagniappe_ o''sugar- plums, baby, bein''s it''s Christmas?

46958A friend? 46958 Ah, then it was you, monsieur, that carried off poor Remond''s bride?"
46958Ah,_ mon ami_, what have I done to receive this repulse? 46958 Am I not fair enough to teach you to love me?"
46958And Miss Hayes, whom she says here you loved before your marriage?
46958And not a clew in all these years?
46958And so you have seen Eliot Van Zandt? 46958 And then?"
46958And then?
46958And you did not peep out of the window?
46958And you, dear?
46958Are they splendid? 46958 Are you afraid?
46958Are you armed?
46958Are you going to sleep all day?
46958Are you so sure?
46958Are you there still?
46958But do you feel better now?
46958But how are we to know when night comes? 46958 But suppose we sing instead?"
46958But the little ma''amselle, Carmontelle? 46958 But this heavy body-- how shall we convey it down the stairs?"
46958But what happened to him last night? 46958 But why?"
46958But you will do so soon?
46958But you-- you are divorced and married again, monsieur, are you not?
46958But, come; shall we not go at once to deliver our little friend from Castle Dangerous?
46958But, madame, where is your Little Nobody?
46958Can it be my Una?
46958Can you not guess? 46958 Chocolate, Una?"
46958Dare I offer you the remains of the repast? 46958 Dead?"
46958Did he mean it? 46958 Did you care?"
46958Did you think you were deserted by all your friends? 46958 Do n''t you, Mistress Van Zandt?
46958Do you hate her so much, then?
46958Do you know what you have brought upon your head, traitress? 46958 Do you mean that there is shame, disgrace, linked with-- my birth-- my parentage?"
46958Do you not see that you must reveal the secret now, whatever it be, that has thrown its stigma over my life?
46958Do you still insist?
46958Do? 46958 Does it suit you?
46958E-- dith?
46958Eliot, you remember the great dictionary in which you showed me the definition of Friend, that first night we met? 46958 Ever heard of Moore''s''Temple to Friendship,''Van Zandt?"
46958Father Quentin, what strange thing is this?
46958Frightened!--but why?
46958Handsome, is he, madcap?
46958Have I revived her, or-- killed her?
46958Have you anything new?
46958Have you come to your senses yet-- you two?
46958He was my friend; he fought Remond to save me,she murmured;"and shall I desert him in the danger he incurred for my sake?
46958Her future?
46958Her little savage?
46958How came Madame Lorraine to get admittance, then?
46958How came she, the nameless child of a circus- rider, by her dower of high- bred, faultless beauty?
46958How dared he?
46958How should I know? 46958 I need not ask if you have taken Una''s advice and procured a divorce?"
46958I should have liked to woo and win my bride in the sweet old fashion,he thought, regretfully; then, with a new idea:"And what is there to hinder?
46958I will go, but-- when?
46958Ignorant Little Nobody as I was?
46958Is it death or heavy sleep?
46958It is sad, is it not? 46958 It must be the same as that of the outside-- must it not, monsieur?"
46958Lorraine dead?
46958Madame knows all this?
46958Madame''s daughter, perhaps?
46958Madame, where is Van Zandt?
46958Monsieur Lorraine-- does he permit this?
46958No one knows anything yet?
46958No,with a puzzled, inquiring tone; then, with a roguish ripple of laughter,"Ah, to congratulate me on my marriage, I suppose?"
46958Now tell me what you have done with the little baggage who has caused all this trouble? 46958 Now, tell me, is there not some way by which I can gain the street without returning to the house?"
46958Oh, Edith, what have I done now? 46958 Oh, Eliot,"with sudden animation,"what if we should force Madame Lorraine to tell us the truth to- night-- to own frankly who and what I am?"
46958Oh, indeed?
46958Oh, my dear, have you got a fever? 46958 Oh, what are we going to do?"
46958On what night did you say, Bryant?
46958Or-- did you deliberately snub me again because of-- a fit of ill- temper?
46958Perhaps it were better to speak to you alone?
46958Perhaps you already love some one else?
46958Poor child, what can I do?
46958Shall I complain of him to her, to any one?
46958Shall they not answer for this crime?
46958She belongs to you?
46958She has stolen a march upon you, indeed, madame, has she not?
46958She sleeps?
46958Sit here beside me, and tell me how you enjoyed the day?
46958So it was not a headache, my little Truth?
46958So you did it to make me jealous, madame?
46958Surely you pursued them?
46958Tell me-- did Remond kill our young Yankee friend last night?
46958The antidote?
46958The girl-- had she awakened when you saw her last?
46958Then why did Eliot write such a letter to my husband? 46958 This old house is big enough for us all, is n''t it, Maud?"
46958Una, why do you take it so hard?
46958Van Zandt, where are you?
46958Very well; but-- next?
46958Was it love, or-- pity?
46958Webster?
46958Well, dear?
46958Well?
46958Well?
46958Well?
46958What are you going to do?
46958What can you mean?
46958What does it mean? 46958 What does it mean?"
46958What if I refuse?
46958What is it all about?
46958What is it, then?
46958What is the matter with Mademoiselle Marie? 46958 What is the meaning of this visit?"
46958What must he think of me?
46958What say you, Van Zandt? 46958 What shall we do next?
46958What was the reason then that made you desert us all so unkindly?
46958What would you have called me?
46958When?
46958Where is he? 46958 Where?"
46958Who could have known that?
46958Who has been putting such nonsense in your head?
46958Who is that little tot on the Arab so like your own? 46958 Who knows?
46958Who said I hated her? 46958 Why, man, what the deuce ails you, to go butting up against a fellow in that striking fashion?"
46958Will Madame Leonie permit me the pleasure of showing her through our little conservatory? 46958 Will she have the temerity to take Una with her, or will she try to hide her from me?
46958Will you go with me, dear, and be my little wife?
46958Yes, sir,Mima replied, soothingly; and he continued, anxiously:"Now, tell me, has any one called to see me since I was brought to this hospital?
46958Yes?
46958You have a_ penchant_ for the quill- driver?
46958You have heard? 46958 You loved her like that?"
46958You must have been very tired waiting out there in the dark?
46958You speak the truth?
46958You swear you are not deceiving me, madame?
46958You will aid me, then? 46958 You will take her to school, then, right away?"
46958You would belong to me, you would bear my name, you would do as I wished you, perhaps, and--"Ah, your slave?
46958You would murder me?
46958Your object?
46958Your own house?
46958Your patient, Mima, how is he?
46958Your wife?
46958_ Ma foi_, how can I tell? 46958 63--Was It Wrong? 46958 70--Was She His Lawful Wife? 46958 A voice came quickly back-- a familiar voice:Who is down there?"
46958Ai n''t you had a hand in it?"
46958And Eliot echoed bitterly:"Why?"
46958And dear Maud-- is she here?"
46958And how do you find yourself this evening,_ mon ami_?"
46958And how else could you requite aught I have done for you?
46958And where have you been, anyway-- to madame''s?"
46958And you-- you were on your way there?"
46958And you?"
46958And-- you-- you want to be my friend?"
46958Are you going?
46958Are you sure, quite sure, that you possess the secret of the opening of the hidden door?"
46958At last she drew herself from him, saying, with rapturous wonder:"You really want me to love you, Eliot?"
46958At last, tapping his arm with her fan, and smiling archly, she said, in an under- tone:"Beautiful, is she not,_ mon ami_?
46958At the close of the third act Eliot said, eagerly:"Will you let me have your bouquet, Una?
46958Bryant and I share the same suite of rooms, do we not?
46958But are n''t you going to give me my chocolate, when I''m so weak I can scarcely speak?"
46958But how?
46958But what does it mean?
46958But when they ask for her-- for the Jockey Club has gone wild with admiration over the little vixen-- what can you say?"
46958But,"dubiously,"do I intrude?"
46958Can you find time, while getting a carriage, to buy a gray dress, a long ulster, and a hat and veil?"
46958Can you not trust to your husband to protect you?"
46958Can you speak to me, dear?"
46958Can you think of anything else as sensible?"
46958Carmontelle frowned, and said, sternly:"Yes-- but of course you understand that the plan is untenable now?"
46958Carmontelle stared and repeated, in some bewilderment:"Next?"
46958Could it be?
46958Did Remond kill him here, at your door, where I found the pool of blood when I came back to look for him?"
46958Did you?"
46958Do n''t you know anything about it?
46958Do n''t you know he has a right to be in this room with you if he choose, only he is too afraid of you to assert himself?
46958Do n''t you see that Madame Lorraine took me for a ghost?
46958Do you consent?"
46958Do you know, I think it suits us two?
46958Do you not know, my darling, that love must be paid in its own coin?"
46958Do you say Remond has killed him?"
46958Do you take it so hard, then?
46958Do you think he is a stick or a stone, without any feeling, that you behave so heartlessly?
46958Do you think we are going to let our sister go to her rich husband plain and shabby?"
46958Do you understand me?"
46958Do you want to hear how it came about?
46958Does he yet live?"
46958Does not that prove the love he had for his wife?"
46958Edith answered daringly:"Why not say at once, Sylvie, that you''re envious because Maud is going to be as rich as you are?
46958Eliot Van Zandt explained:"I mean, what shall we do when we have brought her away?
46958Eliot began abruptly:"Madame Lorraine, of course you know we recognized you immediately to- night?"
46958François, why did you not call me?"
46958Frowning impatiently, she said:"Carmontelle, why did you intrude upon us here?
46958Had Van Zandt misunderstood her words?
46958Had some one called his name?
46958Halloo again?"
46958Has my experiment indeed given her a few more hours of life?"
46958Have I not been waiting almost a year for your heart to wake from its childish sleep and respond to mine?
46958Have I not promised to be your friend?"
46958Have you a watch?"
46958Have you any one else to ask about,_ belle cousine_?"
46958Have you done your courting since, as you had no time for it before you were married?"
46958Have you taken any thought for the little ma''amselle''s future?"
46958He continued gravely:"Then, perhaps you can guess why I have brought you here?"
46958He thought, disappointedly:"Am I not to see her Little Nobody?"
46958He was solemnly asking himself,"Which is better-- life or death?"
46958How can I ever requite your kindness?"
46958How could I know he would disappear?
46958How could I know you would take the girl from him and hide her?
46958How could he?
46958How is it, and where is he?"
46958How much?"
46958I can fancy some of its horrors, for, do you know, Monsieur Van Zandt, I am very hungry now?
46958I know that no living soul but yourself and your servant has been near me since I was ill. Am I, then, your prisoner?"
46958I mean, do you use the same suite of rooms as your husband?"
46958I mean, except that woman, Madame Lorraine?"
46958I understand you now,"hoarsely;"you mean that-- that noble child is-- is compromised by her imprisonment with me those four long days?"
46958Ill- temper over what?"
46958Is he dead, the brave lad?
46958Is he learning to love me at last?"
46958Is it bed- time yet?"
46958Is it not right that I should leave her in peace until I shall have won her heart as well as her hand?"
46958It is past ten o''clock,"he said; then, with hesitation:"Are you not too sick for me to leave you, child?
46958It was for that I rode to- day-- to win the gold-- but--""But-- what?"
46958It was very fortunate for me, was it not?"
46958Last night did you see her with Van Zandt, her sly coquetry, her open preference?
46958Little one, can you trust me to go away and think it all over, and then come back to you?"
46958Lorraine at home?
46958Lorraine turned her vindictive eyes upon Una hissing fiercely:"Do you not know that you are very foolish in this matter?
46958Lorraine''s Little Nobody?
46958McVeigh Miller Mary E. Bryan Marie Corelli Was there ever a galaxy of names representing such authors offered to the public before?
46958Monsieur Remond, will you accompany us?"
46958Now, will you be my wife?"
46958Oh, cousin, do you think he will get well?
46958Perhaps you have come to say that you will attend me there?"
46958Perhaps you have designs upon her yourself?"
46958Secret, did I say?
46958Shall I leave my door ajar?"
46958Shall I resent it?
46958Shall I run and get them for you?"
46958Shall it be love-- or-- death?"
46958Shall we go to Esplanade Street and have it out with that fiendish woman?"
46958She always had them when she came before, and it does seem foolish, does it not, for man and wife to occupy six rooms when three would be enough?
46958She continued, angrily:"Do you not see that it was wicked to shut me up for life?
46958She cried out impulsively:"Oh, Eliot, then you do love me?
46958She said carelessly:"And Eliot''s wife?"
46958She saw him grow deathly pale to the roots of his hair, as he asked, with pretended coolness:"And that way, my darling jailer?"
46958She turned her dark, amazed, tear- wet eyes on his face, and murmured hoarsely:"Is it truth, or the ravings of fever and delirium?"
46958Should she torture him, destroy him, while she who owed him so much forsook him?
46958So our Una was a slave''s child, you say?
46958Sylvie answered, with more sense than she had displayed in making these cruel revelations:"Do?
46958Tell me what you would have called me?"
46958Tell me, are you going to make me your loving wife?"
46958That is generous, is it not?
46958Then Van Zandt said, questioningly:"Perhaps you have relatives or friends with whom you could place her?
46958Then, looking up at him, she said, with child- like directness:"And so you are a Yankee?
46958There can be nothing strong enough to come between us, my little love and I. Oh, why did I leave them alone together?
46958Through the breast of the elder man there went a pang of jealous pain, as he repeated, hoarsely:"You love her?"
46958To himself he said, in alarm:"Can her tale be true?
46958Una still posing as a bride at this late day?
46958Van Zandt, am I getting good, do you think, or-- have I fallen in love with that Little Nobody?"
46958Was he angry, I wonder?
46958What did he have to do with her that he should break off the match?
46958What did she do to you?"
46958What do you say, girls?"
46958What does this mean?"
46958What ever will the girls say?"
46958What had I, the poor journalist, to do with that fair creature, whose beauty in itself was a rich dower?
46958What if I go and find out?"
46958What if he should stumble upon Carmontelle and the carriage waiting at the end of the square under cover of the night?
46958What if she had not wakened yet?
46958What if that wicked woman has already forced her to retire?"
46958What if they should not be able to open the door at the head of the cellar stair- way?
46958What is my name?
46958What is that, monsieur?"
46958What is there unreasonable about it, that your eyes flash so proudly?
46958What more easy than to say she has carried out her threat?"
46958What must he, what must you all think of me?"
46958What possessed her to use a drug so deadly?"
46958What shall we do to deliver her from her peril?
46958What, indeed, shall we do with the girl?"
46958Where is Monsieur Van Zandt, my daughter?"
46958Where shall we find her a refuge and hiding- place from her treacherous enemies?"
46958Where were your eyes,_ mon ami_, that you run up against a fellow so recklessly?
46958Who are my kinspeople, and why was I left so long to the cruel mercy of Madame Lorraine?"
46958Who knows but that Una, in her strange commingling of pride and humility, may have exaggerated the trouble?"
46958Who would have believed she would be so base?"
46958Who, then, was her father?"
46958Why did you not show it to us before?
46958Why had the old priest saved her from death if she was to be immured forever, as in a living tomb, in this grim old convent?
46958Why not sit beside the dying girl and soothe her last sad hours?
46958Why trouble your little head about the past?"
46958Will it be warm enough?"
46958Will you bring the lamp, monsieur, and let us search for it?"
46958Will you do as I tell you?"
46958With a smile, he answered:"Do you not see that it would not be safe to venture to open the door while our enemies remain in the house?
46958With that awful thought, he gasped and spoke:"Where is she?"
46958Would I have treated you as I did for fifteen years, if you had not been--""What?"
46958Would you believe it, the girl has never been given even the rudiments of an education?
46958You and the club will call at the Magnolias?
46958You are madame''s handsome Yankee,_ n''est ce pas_?"
46958You know I was Lorraine''s lawyer?"
46958You will favor us?"
46958You will receive her as a pupil, train and educate her in a manner befitting the position she will fill as my wife?"
46958You-- you will not call me your little Una, your lady of truth any more now, will you, Eliot?"
46958and have they hidden his body to conceal the crime?
46958can it be that you have some prior engagement?"
46958do you think I would have allowed any one to harm a hair of her head?
46958has she got a fit?"
46958have you no feeling, no pity?"
46958what has become of the brave lad?"
46958what mystery is here?
46958what shall I do?"
10234''Ow''l you trade?

10234And you think that was growin''out of the holy- water?

10234But, General,she said,"had I not a beautiful bouquet of ladies on my balcony this morning?"
10234But,said the girl, shading her face from the lamp and speaking with some suddenness,"why have you not sent word to him by some other person?"
10234Colossus, will you do ez I tell you, or shell I hev to strike you, saw?

10234Do you think so? 10234 Does it appear to be turning cool?"

10234Never visite?
10234Never w''at?
10234No, my child,he responded,"I am sure it is not true: I am sure it is all false; but why do I find you out of bed so late, little bird?
10234No? 10234 No?

10234Old Charlie,said he, gazing fondly at his house,"You and me is both old, eh?"
10234Old man,whispered the failing invalid,"is it caving yet?"
10234Pauline, my child,he said with tremulous voice,"if Manuel''s story is all false, in the name of Heaven how could you think he was going to tell it?"
10234Sell Belles Demoiselles to you?
10234Senor;he paused,--"eez a- vary bath- a fore- a you thaughter, eh?"

10234What is it, Clarisse?

10234While I was gone?
10234Who is hurt?
10234Who knows,continued the speaker,"but Senor Benito, though strong and sound and har''ly thirty- seven"--here all smiled--"may be taken ill tomorrow?"
10234Who knows,the young Irishman proceeded to inquire,"I say, who knows but Pedro, they re, may be struck wid a fever?"
10234Who knows?
10234Who''s goin''to throw me? 10234 Why do n''t they come here?"
10234Why do you cry?
10234Why do you not found hospitals and asylums at once,asked the attorney, at another time, with a vexed laugh,"and get the credit of it?"
10234Why do you not make him_ your_ banker, also, Madame Delphine?
10234Why not?
10234Why not?
10234Why, did you not see? 10234 Why, my dear child, I was just saying, we like a clean"-- But the daughter was desperate:"Oh, tell me, my mother,_ who_ is coming?"
10234Why?

10234You do n''t believe it? 10234 You do n''t mean an old_ tyrant_?"
10234You dunno wad I mean, Madame Carraze?
10234You have a little boy?
10234You know he has a quick and fearful temper;and"why does he cover his loss with mystery?"
10234You know something else,he said;"you know that the Major loves you, or you think so: is it not true?"
10234You never dreamed of that, eh?
10234You sawed''i m? 10234 You thing?"
10234You want to buy her?
10234You want to make strit pass yond''?
10234You will come firz by you''se''f?
10234You wish to know his name?
10234You''ave one lill''gal, Madame Carraze?
10234You''re bound to win?
10234_ Chérie_,said Madame Delphine on one of those evenings,"why do you dream so much?"
10234_ Mais_, fo''w''y?
10234_ Mais_, w''at de matter, Posson Jone''?
10234_ Mais_, what could make it else? 10234 _ Miché?_""You know w''at I goin''do wid dis money?"
10234_ Miché?_"You know w''at I goin''do wid dis money?
10234_ Non, non!_ I do n''t want,--the speaker paused to breathe--"ow is collection?"
10234_ Non?_he asked.
10234_ Parlez- vous français_?
10234_ Qui ci ca_? 10234 _ Qui ci pa?_"called Madame Delphine, in a frightened voice, as the two stood up, holding to each other.
10234''Brave?''
10234''But what did his son do?''
10234''Do you know, Madame, why his father is angry so long?''
10234''For what?''
10234''Has the gentleman a heart as well as a hand?''
10234''How can that be?''
10234''Is it jealousy?''"
10234''Stealing from the dead?''
10234''Very well, why?''--''Why?
10234--And, General,--what could I say?"
10234--Who is coming here this evening?
10234--a long whistle--"is that pos- si- ble?--and Monsieur John knew it?--encouraged it?--eh, well, eh, well!--But-- can I believe you, Madame John?
10234--the Colonel raised his voice to suit his kinsman''s deafness,--"how is those times with my friend Charlie?"
10234A bitter smile came upon the old man''s face:"_ Pardon, Monsieur_, you is not_ le Gouverneur_?"
10234A letter by a Dutchman in French!--what can be made of it in English?
10234Ah!--but why say again she was lovely?
10234Ah, my child, do you blush?
10234Ai n''t it?''
10234And another time:--"If I will let you tell me something?
10234And do you go to my church, Madame----?"
10234And he left you so much as that, Madame John?
10234And now what did this mean?
10234And she?
10234And should he still try to lead him into the pitfall he had dug?
10234And was no one punished?
10234And what you''ll do wid old Charlie''s house, eh?
10234And who was this Madame John?
10234And why, the old wretch?
10234And you had it all in that naughty bank?
10234Another question came more timidly:"Do-- do you think he knows_ him_?"
10234Are you armed?
10234But fo''w''y you lill''gal lose doze hapetide?"
10234But if not, whom would his son select to perform those friendly offices indispensable in polite quarrels?
10234But if some of your sick shall call?"
10234But what said she, Madame?"
10234But what think you, my son?"
10234But why did you not ask me, his old playmate?
10234But why did you not ask me?
10234But, if you have some bad news"--"Your son took your quarrel on his hands, eh?"
10234Can it be?
10234Cayetano?"
10234Colossus and this boy can go to the kitchen.--Now, Colossus, what_ air_ you a- beckonin''at me faw?"
10234Could it be that Mazaro was about to speak for Galahad?
10234Could it be that she was going to the_ Salle de Condé_?
10234Could that trunk contain treasure?
10234Dat all right?
10234Daz ze way, ai n''t it?''
10234Did you not?"
10234Do n''t you hear them?"
10234Do you love her?
10234Do you not see?
10234Do you think I am a child, to be trifled with-- a horse to be teased?
10234Do you understand me?"
10234Fight?
10234Fo''w''y dad is?"
10234For what you tell me''What a lie?''
10234Had he mistaken?
10234Have they killed a so- long snake?
10234He allowed a few moments more to pass, and then asked:"_ N''est- ce- pas_, Madame Delphine?
10234He arrested the maid on the last step:"Your mistress, she goin''_ pour marier_''Sieur George?
10234He had heard of Madame John''s daughter, and had hoped once to see her, but did not but could this be she?
10234He rose and walked once across the room, returned, and said, in the Creole dialect:"Is he a good man-- without doubt?"
10234He slowly said:"Is dad possib'', Madame Delphine?"
10234He started to resume his walk, but turned to her again and said:"Why did they make that law?
10234He took pains to speak first, saying, in a re- assuring tone, and in the language he had last heard her use:"''Ow I kin serve you, Madame?"
10234How can I help you?"
10234How can we speak of him as a law- breaker who might have saved him from that name?"
10234I am proud to tell you so now; is it not so?"
10234I know,''out- a she gettin''marry, eh?"
10234I said,''think you General Villivicencio will not rather be the very man most certain to respect a son who has the courage to be his own master?
10234I want you do somesin for me, eh?"
10234I was afraid you might not know that old Poquelin was sick, you know, but you''re not going there, are you?"
10234If I want you to fight?
10234Indeed, when have they not differed?
10234Is a man in a fit?
10234Is it coming back?
10234Is it peering in at the sleeping mute?
10234Is n''t it?"
10234Is she any thing to you?
10234Is that something to bring the rose to your cheek?
10234Is that yo''yallah boy, Jools?
10234Is there nothing dreadful in that?
10234Is this his quest, or is it lunacy?
10234Is''Tite Poulette your own child?"
10234It seems like a special provi_dence_.--Jools, do you believe in a special provi_dence?_"Jules said he did.
10234It was only Injin Charlie; but had not the De Charleu blood just spoken out in him?
10234It''s the on''yest time I ever been from home; now you would n''t of believed that, would you?
10234Jools?
10234Kristian Koppig, why did you not mind your own business?
10234Look- ut heer, sissy, why ar''n''t ye in the maternal arms of the Café des Exilés?"
10234Madame Carraze,"he said, partly extending his hand,"you see?
10234Madame Delphine was not prepared for the movement, and on that account repeated her question:"What are you thinking about?"
10234Madame resumed:"I said,''I do not deny that Mossy is a noble gentleman;''--I had to say that, had I not, General?"
10234Many fine gentlemen at the ball ask me often,''How is your daughter, Madame John?''".
10234Money?
10234Mossy, is it possible you have not heard of the attack upon me, which has surprised and exasperated the city this morning?"
10234My dear sur, do ye s''pose I wud talk about the goddess-- I mean, yer daughter-- to the likes o''Mazaro-- I say to the likes o''Mazaro?"
10234Not marrie''Sieur George?
10234Not to the charge of them who stoned him?
10234Nothing else tempted; could that avail?
10234Oh, Père Jerome, what shall I do?
10234Oh, what does he want with a poor fool of a son who will do only as he says?
10234Oh, where is there any room, in this world of common disgrace, for pride?
10234Oo it was?"
10234Pauline, treasure, what shall I do with thee?
10234Poquelin?"
10234Posson Jone'', is that something to cry, because a man get sometime a litt''bit intoxicate?
10234Père Jerome laid his hat upon a chest of drawers, sat down opposite her, and said, as he wiped his kindly face:"Well, Madame Carraze?"
10234Père Jerome waited a little before replying; then he said, very gently:"I suppose dad muss''ave been by accyden'', Madame Delphine?"
10234Shall such encroachments be endured?
10234She''s a lill small gal?"
10234Smuggler-- patriot-- where was the difference?
10234Some half- priest, half- woman?
10234Some of those Américains, I suppose, knew it; but who would ever ask them?
10234Some spectacled book- worm?
10234Some think it was Jean Lafitte, the famous; you have heard of him?
10234The exiles?
10234The father looked one instant in her face, then rose with an exclamation:"Where is my son?
10234The law did not stop her from being that; and now, when she wants to be a white man''s good and honest wife, shall that law stop her?
10234The many did look in his face, and, as he looked in theirs, he read the silent question:"Where is thy brother Abel?"
10234The old man asked in his simplicity:"Madjor Shaughnessy?"
10234The old man glared sternly upon the speaker, and with immovable features said:"You do n''t see me trade some Guinea nigga''?"
10234The"fine gentyman"longed to blaspheme-- but before old Charlie!--in the name of pride, how could he?
10234Their landlord never got but one question answered by the middle- aged maid:"Madame, he feared, was a litt''bit embarrass''_ pour_ money, eh?"
10234Then she began to say something else, stopped, and with much nervousness asked:"Père Jerome, what was the name of that man?"
10234Thinking of this, what could she do?
10234To each new- comer he put the same question:"Did you come here to go to old Poquelin''s?"
10234To whose charge then?
10234W''en we have say we going make_ le charivari_, do you want that we hall tell a lie?
10234Was it the voice of a human?
10234Was there no cause for quarrel, after all?
10234We''ve no business to- night, eh Mazaro?"
10234Well, I win''it by a specious providence, ai n''t it?"
10234What I want wid money, den?
10234What I''ll do wid Belles Demoiselles?
10234What are you, that you should treat me so?
10234What became of them, do you ask?
10234What could a landlord do but smile?
10234What do they want?"
10234What does he live in that unneighborly way for?"
10234What harm could he see in it?
10234What has happened?
10234What is that?"
10234What might one call yo''name?
10234What should the words be?
10234What then?
10234What will this silly neighborhood say?
10234What you doin''here?
10234What you want to bet?"
10234What?
10234What?"
10234Whence could it come?
10234Where I''m goin''to fin''one priest to make like dat?
10234Where are you going, Madame Delphine?"
10234Where shall I hide thee?"
10234Where''s de''ouse what Monsieur le Compte give your grace- gran- muzzer?
10234Who cares for gates or doors?
10234Who could take a jet white wife?
10234Who in this street would carry my note, and not wink and grin over it with low surmises?
10234Why do n''t you shivaree him?"
10234Why does she not come to our ball- room with you?"
10234Why you do n''t buy somewheres else?"
10234Why you do n''t stay dare youse''f?"
10234Why you do n''t stay where you be halways''appy?
10234Why you do n''t stay where you halways be''appy?
10234Will she espy the dark form in the deep shade of the orange, and, with one piercing scream, wheel and vanish?
10234Will she stop?
10234Will she turn aside?
10234Would he push it, as his wo nt was?
10234Yet he lives, and shall live-- may live to forget you, who knows?
10234Yet there was a pretext left"the rooms must need repairs?"
10234Yon sink bickause I make a little playfool wiz zis tin pan zat I am_ dhonk_?"
10234You call Manuel Mazaro one liar?"
10234You know w''ere''s dad''ouse of Miché Jean Tomkin?
10234You see dis money-- w''at I win las''night?
10234You think he will love him less for healing instead of killing?
10234You think it was nothing?
10234You will let me say so?
10234You will not be offended with the old playmate of your son?"
10234_ Can it be_?
10234_ Is_ that brave, Madame Délicieuse, or is it not?''
10234_ Mais comment_?"
10234_ Mais,_ why you ca n''t cheer up an''be''appy?
10234_ Mais_, if I keep dis money, you know where it goin''be to- night?"
10234and if he has made dreadful haste and proved his courage?"
10234and why not?
10234and why not?"
10234asked Galahad;"I say, wut''s the use o''that?"
10234but you make a fool of yourself, ai n''t it?"
10234can it be that the dead do walk?"
10234cried the parson, bounding up with radiant face--"is that so, Jools?"
10234dear,"said the mother, her face beaming with fun--"What can it be, Maman?"
10234do n''t you know?
10234do you thing I would go again''my conscien''?
10234from which race do they want to keep my daughter separate?
10234is it possible?"
10234ma mère, qui vini''ci ce soir_?"
10234said Charlie;"from where you come from dis time of to- night?"
10234shall a man make hisse''f to be the more sorry because the money he los''is not his?
10234she is not-- don''t you know, mother?
10234the blind people say,''How is that, that General Villivicencio should be dissatisfied with his son?
10234very good, truly, but-- you_ say_ you have it; but where is it?
10234what have I done?"
10234what is it?"
10234where did you get the money?"
10234why not?"
10234you have not written it in English, is it, son?"
15881''Anybody know any one of that name?'' 15881 ''But, for the sake of others, will not that season be made short?''
15881''Maud''s''black maid? 15881 ''Oh, bidding for you?''
15881''Tis of the_ vieux carré_, that story?
15881''Tis what you want?
15881''Well, my old and dear friend''s daughter,''he said,''what is it?'' 15881 ''What kind of money?
15881''Who authorized you to bid here?'' 15881 ''Will Mr. Chapdelaine please read it out?''
15881A sea without a wave?
15881Above the average of the other hotels?
15881Accepted?
15881Ah, also to do something more; you see?
15881Ah, genuine or not, what difference? 15881 Ah, something inside tells you?"
15881Ah,_ chèrie_,Yvonne tearfully broke in,"can you ever pardon that to us?"

15881And where was young Dubroca in all this?
15881And who filled M. Alexandre''s place?
15881And who is Mingo?
15881And you followed the unprotected lady?

15881But how, he found a treasure? 15881 But if it comes down the home remains, opposite, where both were born, were they not?"
15881But in a thing looking so ordinary had he no competitors, to make profits difficult?
15881But your father''s coming back from France-- it could n''t save the business?
15881But, mademoiselle, our''Clock in the Sky''--our''Angel of the Lord''--shan''t we join them?
15881Can you fight-- for your sister?

15881Dogs?
15881Euonymus, boy, if I should by and by dress as a man could you put these woman things on, over what you''re wearing, and be a lady in my place?
15881Euonymus, did you ever drive a lady''s coach?
15881Euonymus, how many more of you- all are there besides_ daddy and mammy_?
15881Euonymus,I asked,"have you seen two young gentlemen, fishing, anywhere near here?"
15881Even a right to cross two races?
15881Even the first few lines absorb you?
15881For going where, auntie; going where?
15881For what?
15881Gilbert, will you stop at Mr. Kenyon''s[ another neighbor]"and send Anna and Marcia home?"
15881Had he no new friends, Unionists?
15881Had n''t I better go back to father at once?
15881Has she a Bible name too?
15881Has that''Memorandum''never been printed? 15881 Has-- has mademoiselle read it?"

15881How did she say all that, angrily or meekly?
15881How do you know that? 15881 How do you know there were more than one here?"
15881If I send a driver,I said,"you''ll lend me the span, wo n''t you?"

15881Mademoiselle, how could they agree to it? 15881 May I ax you a question, mi''ss?"

15881Never mind,I said;"do you belong to-- Zion?"
15881Not even Cupid?
15881Not precisely to run, but----"To stow away, on those ships, h''m?
15881Not so American?
15881Not the watchmaker on the square above?
15881Not till that manuscript business is settled, do n''t you see? 15881 Now mount behind me,"I said, reaching for her hand; but with an anguished look:"Whah Mingo?"
15881Now, Euonymus, I judge by your being out here in the woods this time of day, idle, that you''re both free, you and your sister, h''m?
15881Of my aunts, you think?
15881Oh, boy, where''d your mother get that name?
15881Oh, child, what is it? 15881 Oh, is it a story?
15881Oh, is that possible? 15881 Oh, that lovely piece of ironwork?
15881Oh, that? 15881 Paint in your sketch?
15881Permanently?
15881Rebecca, did you ever think what you''d do if both your children were in equal danger?
15881Ro''--Robelia an''me? 15881 SHE?"
15881See, here?
15881Shall we be alone?
15881She is your sister, is she not?
15881She was al- lone, of co''se?
15881Sidney,I said,"did you ever hear of the great clock in the sky?
15881So he made the thing pay?
15881Tha''z too wide?
15881That fine large house and garden across the way,she said,"are they a Creole type?"
15881That''s all you have to tell?
15881The half- book?
15881The lady who passed through here last evening?
15881Then tell me, further, of''_ grandpère_''"And grand''mère? 15881 Then why do you look so weary and care- worn?"
15881Then you billieve in the second love?
15881They?
15881Think that ai n''t a runaway nigger? 15881 Though with the_ vieux carré_ full of them?"
15881Vulgarizing?
15881Was I hurrying? 15881 Was she a handsome child?"
15881Was there no life- insurance?
15881We must n''t be as if reading the morning paper, h''m? 15881 Well, I think we will be satisfied, Mr. Chester, with the tenth of that, eh?"
15881Well, if it is, what then?
15881Well, my angel? 15881 Well?
15881Well?
15881Well?
15881What does he purpose to do?
15881What followed-- for''Maud''--Sidney-- your boy father-- your little- girl aunts? 15881 What four boys?"
15881What is it, boy?
15881What was one of''quite the right kind''? 15881 What was your work, mademoiselle?
15881What you reckon done that, sir; a bird or a fish? 15881 What, me, mist''ess?
15881What?--sold your aunts that manuscript?
15881Where are we going?
15881Where was he-- Mingo?
15881Who is our young friend, anyhow?
15881Who told you?
15881Who? 15881 Why did you want that new book yesterday?"
15881Why not to- day, for the book?
15881Why, boy, what do you imagine I am?
15881Why, do I know him? 15881 Why, mist''ess, ai n''t dat a Bible name?"
15881Will you not some day tell me his story?
15881With the story almost finished?
15881With tragic elements in it, of course?
15881Would n''t that be losing time? 15881 Yass, madam, but, er, eh-- wouldn''you sooner take yo''maid, Robelia, instid?"
15881Yes, I see,Chester laughed;"to help others run away, was n''t it?"
15881Yes, well?
15881Yes, you; what is it?
15881Yes? 15881 Yes?
15881Yes?
15881Yet he never went into bankruptcy? 15881 You are soon to go to Castanado''s to see that manuscript story, are you not?"
15881You di''n''know abboud those? 15881 You do n''t care to say how?"
15881You know what dat inqui''ance o''yone bring to my''memb''ance? 15881 You know what that is, rampart?
15881You mean it was not melodramatic?
15881You shall tell me,he said:"And you''ll trust me, my sincerity?"
15881You would n''t leave daddy and mammy?
15881You''ve heard?
15881Your father?
15881Your mother was a Creole, I suppose?
15881_ Kultur_ against culture, was it? 15881 _ What_?"
15881''And besides--''what?"
15881''Or else,''you say?
15881''The Angel of----''""Then why not have Mr. Castanado, while selecting a publisher for mademoiselle''s manuscript, select for both?"
15881''ow can you receive something if you do n''t agcept it?
15881A best- seller?"
15881After a reverent silence Chester spoke:"And lived long and happily together?"
15881Ah, your Grace, surely, surely, you will not forbid me?''
15881Alexandre about----?"
15881Alexandre,"why not to my parlor?"
15881All at once--"Why did n''t you say you were coming?"
15881Alone with the De l''Isles in Royal Street Chester asked,"And the business-- Chapdelaine& Son?"
15881An antique himself, in spirit, eh?
15881And are not three as truly a crowd in French as in American?
15881And did those Castanados suspect?
15881And he had it so abboundingly because he had also_ the art_--of that beautiful life, h''m?"
15881And he kept that place-- how long?"
15881And he say,''How_ I''m_ going to make you that?
15881And now-- I shall tell you that?"
15881And that was right, do n''t you think?
15881And was not Hector with them?
15881And what of it if you have seen her, or she seen you, here-- or anywhere?"
15881And you hold that back till now?
15881And''ow can you agcep''that if you don''receive it?
15881And''ow she is, yonder at''ome, that Marie Madeleine?"
15881And, Mr. Chester, I think a sea without a storm can be just as deep as with, h''m?"
15881Any time I want to shut my eyes I can see it, and I think you can do the same, h''m?"
15881Are your teeth yours?
15881As though human life and character were-- what would say?"
15881As we ambled off,"What were you going to say,"one asked me,"about our''theory,''or something?"
15881At Carrollton they turned toward the New Canal, and at West End took the lake shore eastward-- but what matter their way?
15881Because, for one thing, there they met people of the outside world without the local prejudices, you know?"
15881Beloiseau?"
15881Beloiseau?"
15881Beloiseau?"
15881Beloiseau?"
15881Between shouts:"Is yo''nag gwine to hold out?"
15881Black man?
15881Blow up?
15881But how in a manner?
15881But in due time we were asked:"Which soup will you have-- guava- berry or pigeon- pea?"
15881But she did that all out of sight of the public----""Had you never a brother or sister?"
15881But that''s nearer you, is it not?"
15881But the business could n''t assure that; and so, for years and years, you see?"
15881But where was she?
15881But, Landry----""Yes?"
15881But, Mr. Chezter, if you''ll resume?"
15881But, you know?
15881But-- who told you all this so exactly-- your_ grand''mère_ herself, or your_ grandpère_?"
15881Can you amuse yourself alone, dear, or with Sidney, while your uncle and I go over some pressing matters together?"
15881Castanado had the grippe, and the manuscript was yet unread?
15881Castanado playfully lifted a finger:"Mélanie, how is that, you pass that poss- office, when it is up- town, while you--?"
15881Castanado,"tha''z may be a species of paternoster, I suppose, eh?"
15881Castanado,"will the manuscript make?
15881Castanado-- Dubroca-- me-- Mr. Chezter, eh?"
15881Chester put away a frown:"Did they reflect the pleasure of the holiday?"
15881Chester?"
15881Comical situation it makes for me, this''Memorandum,''does n''t it-- turning up this way?"
15881Corinne sprang to an elbow, nervously whispering:"What is it?"
15881Corinne, tha''z the egstent of commerce we ever been ab''e to make, eh?"
15881Could he lend me, I asked, for half a day or so, a good span of horses?
15881Could you drive my coach, Euonymus?"
15881Creole, of course, the family?"
15881De l''Isle to be there-- just madame alone?"
15881Did the clock in the sky call them North again?"
15881Do you know them darkies are hers?"
15881Do you know?
15881Do you reckon I''ll let you run down those four innocent creatures with hounds?
15881Does it pain so?"
15881Does that suit you?"
15881Else why did they take to the woods inside of a mile from that house where you left the coach?
15881Enough?
15881Even a cook he''s got to''ave that-- or a publisher, eh?"
15881For fear of betraying some blame of the childlike aunts for the scarlet- fever?
15881From Réné Ducatel, in his antique- shop, whose folks''tis mostly about?"
15881Geoffry, how are you getting on, professionally, anyhow?"
15881Going at five hundred, what do I hear?''
15881H''m?"
15881Had he broken it?
15881Handing him a note to the stable- keeper,"You can read,"I said,"ca n''t you?
15881Have you not got to tell it?"
15881Have you read it?"
15881He bristled:"What are you going to find out by''trying''it?
15881He spoke:"Why, then what advice do you still want-- how to find a publisher?"
15881He would have moved on, but Chester asked:"What kind of advice do you want if not legal?"
15881He''s decorate''?"
15881He''s promote''?
15881His earlier hope came a third time:"Excepting only your wife, you say?
15881How can I explain-- or go unexplained?"
15881How can we show them so li''l''civilization when they''ve come so far?
15881How could it be high comedy without?
15881How did you ever add that to your English?"
15881How long is it?"
15881How was I to get out of the most perilous trap into which a sane man-- if sane I was-- ever thrust himself?
15881How would that do?"
15881How-- how is your patient?"
15881I came this evening by Ovide''s shop to return a book----""An''he tell you he''s meet us----?"
15881I laughed,"you mean good night, do n''t you?"
15881I state the thought poorly but you get it, do n''t you?"
15881I suppose that has to be-- at the first, h''m?
15881If I tell you you wo n''t tell?
15881If he''s hit and only wounded his chances to be hit again are made one less, eh?
15881In a manner?
15881In the same atmosphere--"And how got you away from yo''patient?"
15881Incidentally you keep books, but mainly you do-- what?"
15881Is dey sich a stah as de nawth stah?"
15881Is it not pain at all?
15881Is n''t that a gay situation?
15881It_ was_ so, yet not in the manner they mean, the manner of_ grandpère''s_ life; you understand?"
15881Joseph?''
15881Just the three of us, of course?
15881Landry, if the tale''s true why that old story- book pose?"
15881Let me see how much you can imagine correctly, h''m?"
15881Let me see; has Mingo ever danced for you?
15881Looks as though-- what?"
15881Louis?"
15881Love story?
15881M. Prieur joining in enabled Chester to murmur:"May I ask you something?"
15881Manuscript accepted?"
15881May I ask something else?"
15881May I come the next evening after?
15881Miss Mary Ann, wha''fur you cryin''?
15881Mother, dearie, is n''t it as much she as I you''ve come to see?"
15881Mr. Chester, that other story-- of my_ grand''mére_,''Maud''; how did you like that?"
15881Mr. Chester, when we get over being children, those of us who do, why do we try so hard to live without melodrama?"
15881Mrs.--eh-- those scissors, please?
15881Must you not let me go?
15881Mustn''it?"
15881My mother is helping to prove that even to you, is n''t she-- without knowing it?
15881No?
15881Now?"
15881Oh, now, why not?
15881Old friends, after all?"
15881On the rearmost seat----"Why so silent?"
15881On the train--"Well,"the youth urged,"your_ grand''mère_ stayed in the old home, I hope, with the three children-- and Sidney?"
15881One willing to buy his own freedom?"
15881Or would it not be maybe better honor to me-- and yourself-- to speak----""Straight out?
15881Or your son can?"
15881Our friends drew back:"What does he mean, mother?"
15881Ovide lifted a hand:"Will you leave that to my wife, so unlearned yet so wise and good?
15881Receiving his map he asked, as he looked along a shelf or two:"Have you that book that tells of you-- as a slave?
15881Ril- ated?
15881Royal?"
15881Said the bee,"We''ll try it there together some day, h''m?"
15881Same time M. Castanado he''s down- stair''waiting----"Shall I go around there with you?
15881Secon''-han''books, Chartres Street, just yonder?"
15881See?
15881Shall it not?"
15881Shall we dine here?"
15881Shall we not be glad for that?
15881She say:''W''at mek you say, night und day, night und day?''
15881She''s not a tallish, slender young-----?"
15881Sinze how long?"
15881So when I saw there was only me to prevent it and to----""To hold the sky up?"
15881Such ships never touched at Fredericksted; what could the Britons want?
15881T''other critter''s tracks I do n''t make out, but no matter, here''s the niggers''along here-- and here, see?
15881Tell me all I''m welcome to know, will you?"
15881Tell me; could n''t Castanado have given it, as easily as you?"
15881That amazing one who had vanished within a few yards of his bazaar of"masques et costumes"?
15881That happened to_ them_?--_there_?"
15881That made it safer, I suppose, eh?"
15881That true Cupid, he''s an assassin; while that child, he''s faultless?"
15881That''s higher honor-- to_ her_, is n''t it?"
15881The aunts drew near, speaking with infantile lightness:"Finizh''already that reading?
15881The customary challenge,"Who''d''you belong to?"
15881The manuscrip''is receive''?
15881The son?
15881The young man was pleased:"Does it show exactly where Maspero''s Exchange stood?"
15881Then what?"
15881There is not any oppose''--Seraphine-- Marcel-- you''ll be so good to pazz those rif- reshment?"
15881They want to poz''pone the pewblication, or they do n''t want to pay in advanz''?"
15881Those that could not-- who can blame them?"
15881Was the announcement unlucky, or astute?
15881Well, and what is Mr. Chezter''s conclusion on that momentouz manuscrip''?"
15881Well, of course, he and his father had voted against secession, weeping; yet now this was a pledge terrible to keep, and the more because, you see?
15881Were not Aline and Chester immersed in that tale of servile insurrection so destitute of angels, guiding stars, and lovers?
15881Were not he and these Royal Street men boys together?"
15881What are the other three?"
15881What are you saying?"
15881What d''you''llow it''ll do?
15881What do you think?"
15881What else?
15881What is it, in essence, but a struggle to rise out of itself into a higher drama, of the spirit----?"
15881What she was doing?"
15881What was the use of either of us explaining if-- if----?"
15881What''s taking them to the archbishop?"
15881What''s- his- name?"
15881When will you see the manuscript?"
15881Where did you hear of it?
15881While looking at patterns he asked:"And what is the latest word from your son?"
15881Who supplied that?
15881Who told you to look for something there?
15881Who''ll drive it?
15881Who''ll say six?
15881Who''s goin''tech you?"
15881Why do you ask?"
15881Why is that?"
15881Why not also your amateur expert?"
15881Why should n''t I?"
15881Why were the long lost ones not to be spoken of?
15881Why you di''n''take me al- ong?
15881Why, how on earth--?
15881Why, then, what is it?"
15881Why-- how long has it been raining?"
15881Will you permit me a question?"
15881XVIII"Yes?"
15881XXXIV"Tis gone-- to the pewblisher?"
15881Yes, shall we send him up?"
15881Yet a disappointed silence followed, presently broken by the perfumer:"All the same, what is the matter to make it a pamphlet?"
15881Yet to what bitternesses-- can we say bitternesses in English?"
15881You are, I think, Mr. Chester, notary public and attorney at law?"
15881You can agree to that, ca n''t you?"
15881You can wait?
15881You di''n''say that?"
15881You di''n''write him:''Wire answer''?
15881You don''think one of us ought to go, yo''seff?"
15881You know Ovide Landry?
15881You know him, I believe?"
15881You know that''s what melodrama does, itself?
15881You know, even in a life as quiet as mine, sometimes many things happening together, or even a few, will make you see bats instead of birds, eh?"
15881You know?"
15881You remember this, near the end?
15881You remember''Sidney''?"
15881You see that, I su''pose?"
15881You see those wall'', those floor''?
15881You see those wall''?
15881You see?
15881You see?
15881You see?--blacksmith, lady''s maid, cook, hair- dresser, engine- driver, butler?"
15881You''ll arrange to go at that France, of my_ grand''mère_, and that Alsace, of her mother, to be fighting_ aviateur_, and leave''_ Oiseau_ behine?
15881You''re a good boy, Euonymus, ai n''t you?"
15881[ Had my disguise failed?]
15881_ She_?
15881_ Your_ saints?"
15881_ comment ça va- t- il_?
15881_ your_ grandfather?
15881accepted?"

15881and his_ rip_-ly?"
15881and we are here to read this momentous document to Hector?"
15881and what sort?"
15881and why not?"
15881and-- where is all that abbout that beautiful cat what was the proprity of Dora?
15881asked Beloiseau,"him and yo''uncle, they di''n''shoot either the other?"
15881but with whose mash- in'', so it wo n''t put uz in bankrup''cy?"
15881cried several,"Tha''z not all?"
15881does an angel need an explanation?"
15881eh, doctor?"
15881going, Landry?
15881h''m?"
15881is that possible?
15881is_ she_ hard up?

15881that brings us back to''Maud,''does n''t it-- h''m?"
15881the owner?"
15881the radical, who married--''Maud''?"
15881those other times?
15881very absorbing?"
15881were we in such bad need of rain?"
15881wha''foo all you set up all night?
15881what is it now?
15881what to do, and when and how to do it----""Were left to his own judgment and tact?"
15881what-- who-- wh''--where''s Sidney?
15881where is Aline?"
15881where they keep all kind of imported goods, so they need n''t pay the tariff till they take them out to sell them in the store?
15881where you are goin''to find them, ril- ated?"
15881whispered the mother,"was dey-- was dey colo''d?"
15881with only four to sit down there, how was it possib''to h- ask for a tab''e for six?
15881you did not read it through together?"
15881you see?
18958''Caus why, massa?'' 18958 ''Poor benighted soul,''sez he, liftin''up his hands again, mighty solemn,''so they''ve really learn''t you to talk so, eh?
18958A letter, Minn, from-- from_ him_?
18958About when do you think you''ll have this grand plot ready for me, eh?
18958Ah, Quibbles, what shall we do for cigars? 18958 And Della loves you?"
18958And I may continue to be a welcome visitor here?
18958And I may think of you as loving even_ me_?
18958And did he die?
18958And did she send you to me? 18958 And friendless?"
18958And has Ruth been by the door constantly, as I bade her?
18958And have you no clue to the giver?
18958And he is a scamp?
18958And his circumstances and station befit your own?
18958And how come you to be out to- day?
18958And how have you dared, sir, to steal into my child''s heart, and rob me of her affections? 18958 And how long will you be gone?"
18958And if you''re found out in this business, what do you think will be done?
18958And is n''t the mother of my boy my wife? 18958 And is that all you know of her, Wilkins?"
18958And leave me a widower?
18958And leave you poor?
18958And now where have you kept yourself so long, Richard?
18958And pay long visits to the cupboard between meals, eh, mamma?
18958And so he actually insinuated that you had it, eh, in the end?
18958And they never knew whether he came here or not?
18958And visit her sometimes?
18958And what became of her?
18958And what brings you to my house to- night?
18958And what has occurred, my poor fellow, to make you so unhappy?
18958And what is your father''s?
18958And what were you doing, on your way to the bank, that you had n''t an eye on that money, I''d like to know?
18958And when another case comes just as extreme, Mr. Wilkins, what can I do? 18958 And whether I do or not, girl, is it you I must make my confessor?
18958And who are you, I''d like to know, that dares to put his finger in our p- p- pie?
18958And why not take the boy and Minny with you?
18958And will you, sir, listen to me calmly; and make no sudden outbreaks or disturbance? 18958 And you accepted in my name?"
18958And you are sure you have seen this young man, who drew his dirk on you, before?
18958And you are sure you''re ready, Pratt, to help to carry out the plan I''ve laid for you?
18958And you believe he really deemed Arthur guilty to- day?
18958And you fainted?
18958And you will not let these gloomy visions of the past rise up between you and the far- off stars?
18958And you will sell my work to your choice customers, wo n''t you?
18958And you would be avenged, if you could?
18958And you_ can_ love me, you? 18958 And your heart and conscience are both quite as unburthened as they would have been had you not met him?"
18958And, Arthur, you will remember me with love and kindness, letting all the bitterness of the past drop into oblivion?
18958And, Monsieur,she added, coming out again after she had passed into the door,"bring Guly with you, wo n''t you?"
18958And, knowing this, how could your father sanction my suit?
18958And, sir, you will retract what you insinuated had become of it? 18958 Anything I can do for you, Jeff?"
18958Anything more, Miss?
18958Anything more, my lady?
18958Are the letters in your possession?
18958Are you better?
18958Are you going to the race- course to- day?
18958Are you hungry, Richard?
18958Are you not ashamed to show a defenceless woman such an outrage, in your own house? 18958 Are you ready, Della?"
18958Are you there, darling?
18958Arthur, is it you?
18958Aye, but the nights have been too fine; starlight or moonlight all the while; and may be he is waiting for the new stock of goods, who knows?
18958Be up to- day, I s''pose, wo n''t you?
18958Blanche, my love, when will you ever learn to be polite?
18958Bless de Lord, young massa, how came you by dat offal bump''long side ob your head?
18958But what was the use of all these preliminaries at the store? 18958 But you''d not be unhappy if it should happen?"
18958By what means has this acquaintanceship been carried on? 18958 Can I accompany you there some evening, sir?
18958Can I do anything for you?
18958Can it be possible?
18958Can we not persuade the conductor to stop, and let us down? 18958 Children?
18958Come at last, eh, Pratt? 18958 Dare you speak thus to me?
18958Dare you tell me that? 18958 Did I see you, sir,"he demanded, at last, in a tone far from being inaudible,"point out to a customer a defect in her purchase, and so lose a sale?"
18958Did I, Miss?
18958Did Mr. Wilkins leave the store, that you know of, after it was closed?
18958Did he talk with you long?
18958Did my brother go to bed early that you know of?
18958Did n''t I hear you ask if Clinton had been here, Quirk?
18958Did n''t I tell you to take the head clerk''s? 18958 Did the invitation come from her own lips, Wilkins?"
18958Did you come to look after him?
18958Did you remember that yesterday was your twenty- first birthday?
18958Did you sleep here behind the store- door last night, as usual?
18958Did you try, then, and fail?
18958Do daughters prove themselves trustworthy always, Miss, when they are left alone?
18958Do n''t you feel ill, Arthur? 18958 Do n''t you see the store is liable to be entered any night, if a clever fellow happened to find that key?
18958Do you deem me a villain, woman?
18958Do you give up?
18958Do you go our way?
18958Do you know what I am going to do?
18958Do you know your multiplication- table?
18958Do you never go?
18958Does any one sleep in the store beside ourselves?
18958Does he frequent this place?
18958Does he tipple?
18958Does he use these?
18958Especially to General Delville?
18958Everything ready now, Minny?
18958Fate is above us all; We struggle, but what matters our endeavor? 18958 For a living?
18958Free, Miss Della? 18958 Friend to_ me_, Monsieur, such a horrid little ape as me?
18958General Delville?
18958Guly,said he, laying his hands upon his shoulders,"do you remember the time you promised me, if ever I needed a friend, you would be that one?"
18958Has Clinton been here to- night?
18958Has Mr. Delancey any children?
18958Has anything unpleasant happened since I went out, Wilkins?
18958Has he not disgraced and shamed me?
18958Has mamma gone into the drawing- room?
18958Hast thou loved in the good man''s path to tread, And bend o''er the sufferer''s lowly bed? 18958 Have a care, sir, of what you say--_more honorable_?
18958Have n''t you been happy, Miss?
18958Have you been in the store, Wilkins?
18958Have you enjoyed your walk, Arthur, as much as you would have done, had we been left to enjoy ourselves in our own way?
18958Have you suffered for want of my humble charity, in this great city, poor fellow?
18958Have you, then, another daughter? 18958 He is the gentleman who was of age when papa was born, is n''t he, mamma?"
18958Hih, hih, Monsieur, God spare you yet? 18958 Hih, hih, Monsieur,"squeaked the poor old man;"come, at last, eh?
18958Hih, hih; I am obliged to you; will you keep the boys away till I get started?
18958How came you away from your post last night, eh?
18958How came you to be in the street at this hour, Miss? 18958 How came you to drop in here, boys, to- night?
18958How can you spend so much unoccupied time without church, Wilkins?
18958How did the old man know anything about me?
18958How did you get acquainted, and where?
18958How did you learn all this, Wilkins?
18958How in the world came you by this?
18958How much have you won already?
18958How much would the sale have amounted to?
18958How now, girl, does your spirit hold out? 18958 How now?"
18958How now?
18958How so, Arthur? 18958 How so, Minn?
18958How so? 18958 How soon could we return?
18958I certainly hope so, sir; I scarcely expected it in my case; but I am very happy to be disappointed-- sit down sir?
18958I say, Mistar, is that gentleman with crutches yondaw, a brothaw of yours?
18958I take the hint; what''ll you have; mint- juleps for three, or three for old Cogniac?
18958I want to see you very perfect in all things,--in all things, Della-- do you understand?
18958I will, I will-- and you?
18958I''ve a bottle of prime old Port left of the other night; what say you to taking a drink this stormy time, to our future good friendship?
18958If I furnish you with a tidy little black girl, will you take good care of her, Miss Blanche, and let_ her_ do your errands?
18958If I keep on improving, papa, you will give me the promised winter in Havana I suppose?
18958If I send for an officer, you will describe him?
18958If we knelt oftener, side by side, as we used to, dear brother, do you not think that your heart would grow more humble and more submissive? 18958 Invariably you say that, eh?"
18958Is Blanche French?
18958Is it good, Miss?
18958Is it such particular business, young man, that you must detain me now?
18958Is n''t it enough for you to be bad and unprincipled, without dragging those who might do better, if let alone, with you into the pit?
18958Is that the proprietor of this establishment, Quirk?
18958Is the back room lighted?
18958Is there no constancy in earthly things? 18958 It is n''t the first thing of the kind you were ever engaged in, Clin?"
18958It is n''t time to get up yet, is it, Gulian?
18958It is very beautiful,said the lady who was buying, examining one of the collars closely,"Very beautiful; is that your lowest, Master Pratt?"
18958It seems hard enough, do n''t it?
18958It was a great deal to me; and now, Wilkins, would you just as soon lie down by me as to sleep in your own bed? 18958 Jeff, do you ever expect to get to sleep in such a tumult as this?"
18958Just as it is?
18958Kill me? 18958 Know something about it?"
18958Knowing it was my-- knowing who the lady was?
18958Look after him? 18958 Love you, Della?
18958Massa Pratt,said Jeff, turning on his mattress, as Arthur entered the room,"you do n''t think as how your brudder''s gwine to die, do you?"
18958May dis chile stay an''listen? 18958 Me welcome?"
18958Me, sir? 18958 Mean it yet?"
18958Mean that, Monsieur?
18958Meddle with other people''s affairs?
18958Minny, I wonder if it''s as delightful to be a wife as it is to have a lover?
18958Minny, are you satisfied?
18958Minny, you understand me now, do n''t you? 18958 Miss me, Monsieur?"
18958Monsieur, you remember what you told me one day, long time ago?
18958Most ready, dort, darling?
18958Mr. Clinton, how do you do?
18958Mr. Wilkins, I believe?
18958Mr. Wilkins, you put such a proposition as this you have suggested, merely for-- merely to try me; you surely do not, can not mean it?
18958My brother was not with him then, was he?
18958My father was your father,_ n''est ce pas_, dear Minny?
18958My poor friend, I pity you from the bottom of my heart; count upon me whenever you are in want of a friend, will you?
18958No one else, then, has bought from these before?
18958No, no, I''ll not-- can I go to him?
18958No,said Arthur, ashamed to confess his dislike to the plan,"but why ca n''t you take some other store?"
18958Nonsense, girl; have n''t I a right here? 18958 Nothing wrong about the last load of goods?
18958Oh, Bernard, is this the sacred charge that Della left you?
18958Oh, Miss Della, how could you crave this knowledge to- day, of all other days? 18958 Oh, Wilkins, how can I help it?"
18958Papa, do you love me at all?
18958Pardon me, my friend; but was not the primal fault your own? 18958 Perhaps you heard my name, Jeff, eh?"
18958Perhaps you think I''ll tell you that, and have you play the defender? 18958 Please, young massar, may I come in?"
18958Really, my child, you surprise-- you shock me; if you ca n''t behave any better now, what will you ever do at the wedding? 18958 Report it then if you choose; do n''t you see I''m trying to win enough to pay that d----d debt of mine?"
18958Shriek as loud as you choose,returned the now determined man;"who, do you suppose, will hear?
18958So, girl, you have chosen to play the go- between for your mistress and a worthless fellow?
18958So, sir, you took the liberty to gamble in my store last night, eh?
18958So, so, pretty one, how do you progress in playing mother, eh?
18958So, you know nothing at all about a store, eh?
18958So, you''ve come?
18958Something on your mind, eh, Pratt?
18958Stay, Minny; can you learn to think of me kindly; and, in coming days, to witness my affection for another unshrinkingly?
18958Steal?
18958Sure you are able to walk to the carriage, Minny?
18958Sure you know nothing of that other scamp?
18958Testimony with regard to this matter?
18958The one you fancied had got your heart?
18958The shadows falling at their side? 18958 The sun is n''t up yet, is it?"
18958Then you have had a conference with Quirk, this morning, have you?
18958Then, Arthur, why not choose companions of different habits? 18958 Then, what prompted you to speak so strangely and forebodingly?"
18958There, Minny, does that fold, just arranged, look well? 18958 Think you will know and love me there?"
18958This is a nice place, Pratt, to tell secrets in; do n''t you think so?
18958This is your final decision?
18958Voltaire, in Heaven''s name, where are papa and Minny?
18958We have extended our walk as far as we intended for to- night, have we not, brother? 18958 We have some prime Havanas, sir; how many did you order?"
18958Well, Miss Della, do n''t chide me now about it; if it got you off without any more questions you are very glad, are you not?
18958Well, if you had been a white child, that would have made us foster- sisters, would n''t it? 18958 Well, sir, what will you have?"
18958Well, sir?
18958Well, what can I do to pass the time between this and bed- time?
18958Well, what do you s''pose you''re good for in a dry goods store, anyway, eh? 18958 Well?
18958Were you born here, Minn?
18958What about, Richard?
18958What ails you, Minn? 18958 What can be the subject of your meditations, Mr. Wilkins?
18958What can have put these thoughts in my mind to- night?
18958What can you do? 18958 What did you say was the servant''s livery?"
18958What do you know about it? 18958 What do you mean?"
18958What do you want to play the fool in this way for? 18958 What is his name, I say?"
18958What is it, dearest?
18958What ladies are in the house, the family of the man out yonder?
18958What makes it more pleasant then?
18958What shall we do with him, Wilkins?
18958What the devil''s the matter with you, Pratt?
18958What would you say, if I told you''twas a visit to Blanche?
18958What''s that?
18958What''s the matter with you, Jeff?
18958What''s the matter, Min? 18958 What''s the matter, boy,"said Clinton, laughing,"you ai n''t going to play chickenheart, are you?"
18958What''s your name besides Jeff?
18958When he comes tell him we are here, and send him in, will you?
18958Where are her relatives, Wilkins?
18958Where are you strolling?
18958Where have you ever met my daughter?
18958Where is Clinton''s wife and his little son? 18958 Where''s Arthur?"
18958Who could have been more strict, as it is called, with any daughter than Madame Gerot with Louise? 18958 Who has dared to tell you such a tale as this!--who has presumed to whisper such a falsehood in your ear?"
18958Who hath done this most foul deed?
18958Who rang the bell, Minny?
18958Who''s that? 18958 Why do n''t it fit?"
18958Why do you speak so despondingly, Arthur? 18958 Why is my presence so unexpected?
18958Why the devil did n''t you get them?
18958Why the devil do n''t it fit? 18958 Why, hold on, Pratt; have you forgotten what you came here for?
18958Why, how so?
18958Why, my little Puritan, as long as it is the custom here, why not indulge a little? 18958 Will fortune never come with both hands full, But write her fair words still in fairest letters?
18958Will you be at the Old Cathedral, with Blanche, at midnight?
18958Will you get up, Miss Della?
18958Will you grant it?
18958Would I? 18958 Would she go?"
18958Yes, Miss; and my reward shall be a rehearsal of the list of conquests?
18958Yes, since you will have it so; do you consent?
18958Yes; how late, Min? 18958 You admit you have been wronged?"
18958You are not going away, are you, Jeff?
18958You are sure you have chosen one worthy of such a heart as yours?
18958You do n''t know whether my brother asked Mr. Wilkins to go out, or not, I suppose?
18958You give me your consent?
18958You had the money when he left you?
18958You hesitate-- would you rather not go?
18958You know him?
18958You know where Blanche lives?
18958You look very sweetly in that simple dress; what prompted you to choose that to- night, treasure?
18958You meant what you said, Monsieur, about loving one another?
18958You of course grant his request?
18958You pick me up, Monsieur?
18958You surely do n''t mean''tis Mr. Delancey''s child?
18958You think you can bring your articles weekly, now, Mademoiselle?
18958You wo n''t have it beneath your pillow then, for the first night?
18958You''ll consult the clerk of the we- weather as to when that is c- coming, eh?
18958Young Massa, is dis death?
18958_ How?_ By my own natural conversational powers, which called out hers. 18958 ''Spose I''ll lay out my money to buy a nigger free? 18958 All snug?
18958And is n''t it very provoking?
18958And you are alone now, and have no friends?"
18958Are these thy treasures?"
18958Are you sick?"
18958Are you sure this is right?"
18958Arthur; where was the ghost in your heart now?
18958Be up to- morrow, I''spose?"
18958Bernard, do you remember?"
18958Blanche, you promise?"
18958But did he not promise all?
18958But does being here a few years make any difference about going to church?"
18958But oh, what form of prayer Can serve my turn?
18958But what of this?
18958But, Minny, let''s go back to you; I commenced about you; what made you change the subject, child?"
18958But, Othello, speak-- Did you by indirect and forced courses, Subdue and poison this young maid''s affection?
18958By the time church is out?"
18958Ca n''t you see the reason?
18958Can this be the foreshadowing of my own fate?
18958Can you make out, a bill?"
18958Clint, where shall we go to?"
18958Delancey?"
18958Did he frown, and bite his lips, and grow pale, in that frightful way he has sometimes, or did he look handsome and happy?"
18958Did n''t I har you say de store broke open?"
18958Did n''t I hear you say''Bernard,''just now, in your sleep?
18958Did n''t I marry you once, and does n''t that make my presence here proper and right?
18958Did you ever have a lover?
18958Did you ever study book- keeping?"
18958Do I appear quite elegant and pretty now?"
18958Do n''t you suppose I ever look in on sick clerks?"
18958Do n''t you''spect brack man''s got sum common sense, and can see as fur into a cane- brake as anybody else?
18958Do thy hopes all tend to the spirit land, And the love of a bright unspotted band?
18958Do you always put that in?"
18958Do you consent?"
18958Do you hear?
18958Do you know it is after midnight, and young girls like you are never safe in these streets at such hours?"
18958Do you know that I think any one that gambles will steal?"
18958Do you know, sir, that I love your daughter?"
18958Do you remember, Arthur, how, on such a night as this, the moon used to shine down upon the tall trees and green lawn at home?
18958Do you sincerely love this girl, whose guileless heart you''ve won?"
18958Do you think I''ll tamely submit to be called, or thought, a thief?"
18958Do you think you could love me?"
18958Don''you see dat old Master s''picions me?
18958For worlds I would n''t dictate; but, Miss, if all this secresy and deceit ends as it seems it will, is n''t it going to break your mother''s heart?"
18958Had he not been openly accused of the error he had committed, read through and through by those cold, staring eyes?
18958Had he not been rebuked harshly by his employer, in the presence of all the clerks?
18958Has she not your look, your spirit, much of your pride?
18958Hast thou sought on the buoyant wings of prayer A peace which the faithless may not share?
18958Have some?"
18958Have they no claim upon your kindness?"
18958Have you been to see Blanche?"
18958Have you forgotten that?"
18958Have you letters?"
18958He has n''t found out we lost that pass- key, has he?"
18958He was greatly surprised at seeing his employer, but immediately extended his hand and said:"Is it possible''tis you, Mr. Delancey?
18958Here, have n''t you been gone a good two hours?--and all that time going to the bank, eh?"
18958Hih, hih, you forget?"
18958How came you to be so white, when your mother is the blackest slave papa owns?"
18958How came you, young man, to be present at a ceremony you knew was without my sanction or knowledge, and utterly against my will?"
18958How can it affect me, silly child?
18958How could you treat a fellow so?"
18958How did he look, Min, when he was writing it?
18958How did you manage?
18958How do you know whether he is worthy or not?"
18958I could n''t let poor grandpapa die, could I?"
18958I hope you do n''t expect to sit with me?
18958I may tell?"
18958I s''pose, Mr. Pratt, you did n''t know I was a poet before, did you?"
18958I should think the chances in that case would be equal anywhere?"
18958I tell you the_ truth_, which I have longed to do long since, but_ could_ not; and now, knowing this, can you wish to make me your bride?
18958I think I might do without a governess now-- don''t you, after having had a proposal from a General?"
18958I''spec you''s sleepy; good- night, young massars-- why did n''t I tink of dis afore?"
18958If he would, do n''t you suppose I would be very glad to show him all my letters, and to tell him how we love each other, and all that?
18958Is Arthur hurt?
18958Is there any trouble brooding for him?"
18958It is not a question for reflection, where the punishment for Arthur''s first real sin should rest?
18958It was my turn then to weep, and pray, and plead; was I not your lawful wife, your own?
18958May I hear you''fore I go?"
18958May I rely upon you?"
18958May I trust you to do the same?"
18958Minny, dear, will you go?"
18958Monsieur, what hurt you?"
18958Monsieur,"he panted, turning his one eye up at the grave face of the officer,"I got something to say; please, sir, may I be heard?"
18958No happiness in us but what must alter?
18958No life without the heavy load of fortune?
18958No trouble with the boats, is there, Wilkins?"
18958Now, is n''t it?"
18958Of what are you thinking?
18958Oh, if it is so sweet to be blessed by the rich, what must it be, Minny, to be blessed by the poor?"
18958One he recognized as the donor of his New Year''s gift, and the other, could it be-- his own brown- eyed Blanche?
18958Our doom is gone beyond our own recall; May we deny or mitigate it?
18958Pray, how nearly?"
18958Quirk?"
18958Shall we go?"
18958She lives but a little way from here; what say you to making a call with me?
18958She seemed slightly embarrassed as she met his gaze, and, in a voice of clear richness of tone, she remarked:--"Mr. G---- is no longer here?
18958That our marriage was a mere form, that it was illegal, and I was-- what?
18958The clerk, who was a portly, sensual- faced, red- haired man, raised his brows, and, tipping a sly wink at Quirk, said:--"Up stairs or down?"
18958The merchant looked keenly at Minny for a moment, then said:--"Do you know that if you disobey me I will use the lash?
18958The sun is setting, and you know, at this hour our mother prays for her absent boys-- were you thinking of the same thing, brother?"
18958Think I''ll be a straight man in the other world, Monsieur?"
18958Tink of you one great deal-- miss you great deal-- need your picayune a great deal-- love me yet, Monsieur?"
18958Try what repentance can: what can it not?
18958Was ever such disobedience shown a master?"
18958Was he not driven to his desperate course by a father''s pride and unkindness?"
18958Was it for that young heart, till now free from all taint or corruption, save the corruption of pride, to suffer alone?
18958Was there prophecy in those parting words?
18958We have loved long and sincerely, and--""How dare you utter such words as these to me?
18958Were we not we d?
18958What brings you here, Wilkins, if it is not that?"
18958What can I, so young and feeble, do?
18958What could have turned your thoughts on this to- day?"
18958What could you do in such a case, my boy, eh?"
18958What could you do?"
18958What did you confess you had them for, if you did n''t expect me to get them?
18958What do you mean, Wilkins?
18958What do you mean?"
18958What do you mean?"
18958What do you say for the Globe ball- room?
18958What dress?"
18958What else?
18958What has been the matter?"
18958What has happened to make you so pale?
18958What of your brother, Guly?"
18958What of your mistress?"
18958What put that in your head?"
18958What say you now for a stroll?"
18958What say you, will you go?"
18958What say you?"
18958What the devil ails you, man, to look so down?"
18958What took you away from the sick- bed to be exposed to the craft of bad men?"
18958What was his name?
18958What will you have, my friend?"
18958What would I ever do, dear brother, left utterly alone and friendless here?"
18958What would my freedom be to me away from you?
18958What would you have me do when I meet such a social companion as Clinton?
18958When it ceased, he sprang near the dwarf, shouting:"You mean to insult me, do you, eh?"
18958When we get the old home back, Arthur, we will find that old boat out, and have it, too-- eh, brother?"
18958Where does she live?"
18958Where have you lingered this long, long time?
18958Who did you talk to, or see, on your way?
18958Who ever heard of cards and Bible keeping company on the same board?"
18958Who ever saw that beat?"
18958Who was your father, Minny?"
18958Why do you tarry?"
18958Wilkins?"
18958Will you give up the letters?"
18958Will you have your bandeaux single or double for this evening?"
18958Wo n''t you go with us?"
18958Would you like to be free, Minny?"
18958Yet what can it, when one can not repent?"
18958You are going to sleep early, Miss?"
18958You dare not tell me you did n''t propose it?"
18958You dare to tell me, that a child of mine has stooped to notice her father''s clerk?"
18958You got my note and fixed the wine, Quirk?"
18958You have all those dear letters safe, quite safe?"
18958You have always lived here since you were born, Minn?--was a baby when I was a baby?"
18958You surely could n''t expect a merchant to direct and govern the private pursuits of every young man in his employ?"
18958You understand?"
18958You will be there?"
18958You will explain matters when we meet there?"
18958You''ll come?"
18958You''ve good pluck, eh, Pratt?"
18958_ my_ children?
18958and did you not just confess you were his mother?"
18958and that we both would be happier far?"
18958and you come without him?"
18958any of your companions?"
18958bean, soup''s good, but''twas spilt in a glorious cause; paid for monsieur?"
18958cried Wilkins, striking his hand upon his brow passionately,"why do you come to call all this up now?"
18958do you forget that you are my slave?"
18958do you know all?"
18958exclaimed Guly, laying his hand upon his brother''s,"Arthur does n''t this make your heart bound?
18958exclaimed Mr. Delancey, angrily;"how do you suppose I can hear such a muttering as that?"
18958exclaimed the negro, rolling up his great eyes at his questioner, in earnest wonder;"why, what de debil put dat in your head?
18958he muttered between his short teeth;"what the devil did you lay that right in the midst of our cards for?
18958how came you here?"
18958how could I forget him; what was the matter, Wilkins?
18958how do you do?"
18958how have you dared to come like a thief in the night, and steal that heart away?
18958is this Blanche?"
18958not only has one stooped to_ love_ a clerk, but has not the other wedded a clerk''s daughter?
18958said Arthur, bitterly;"how can I be revenged?
18958she shrieked, in thrilling accents,"what will become of your poor, poor Blanche?
18958the Old Cathedral?
18958the whole of it just covers the amount lost; and how are you going to live?"
18958to have my freedom, and leave you?"
18958well, where''s the other?
18958what answer did you give me then?
18958what brings you here?"
18958what can have happened now?
18958what could they have been talking of to keep them sitting up?"
18958what does he know about the fun of such things?
18958what does it mean?"
18958what have you been accustomed to doing-- anything more than sweeping out and cleaning the lamps?"
18958what have you got to trouble you, I''d like to know?
18958what is it, pray?"
18958who was he?"
18958why could n''t you have done that in the first place, without acting such a namby- pamby farce, I''d like to know?"
18958why do n''t you answer me?"
18958why so?"
18958you black rascal?
18958you dare to tell me that?"
18958you do n''t mean to leave so?
18958your face looks sad enough to be the index of a sorrowful heart?"
39229A party of them drinking, eh? 39229 A present?
39229A_ vaurien_, am I? 39229 Ah-- have you a pencil, if you please?"
39229Ai n''t I been a chauffeur and garage man?
39229Am I an ignorant''Cajun? 39229 And he knew that you guessed him to be the Masquer?"
39229And someone was trailin''you? 39229 And you, Henry-- a special officer of the governor''s?
39229Angry? 39229 Any other nominations?
39229Are n''t you ashamed of yourself?
39229Are n''t you going to invite me, Uncle Joseph?
39229Are n''t you one of the family? 39229 Are you crazy?"
39229Arrest-- you, Uncle Jachin?
39229Awake at last, are you?
39229But he''s not interested in oil is he?
39229But why the devil did n''t you hang on to that stock? 39229 But you say that he ai n''t the original Masquer?"
39229But, my dear Henry, if he knew you to be the Midnight Masquer, do you think he''d want to go into business with you?
39229By the way, are n''t you the Prince de Gramont? 39229 Ca n''t fight a sure thing, can you?
39229Can I help you, sir?
39229Did he go alone, or were you with him?
39229Did it occur to you that maybe I was as much in need of a friend as you were?
39229Did n''t see you in there-- what you doin''so far away from Houma, eh?
39229Did n''t you expect me?
39229Did they hear us coming? 39229 Did you actually see the Midnight Masquer last night?
39229Did you bring that chauffeur?
39229Did you meet him?
39229Did you see Ben Chacherre?
39229Did you swallow all that?
39229Do n''t consider any dealings with it until I have looked it over, will you?
39229Do you forget, Mr. Gramont, the affair of the Midnight Masquer? 39229 Do you gentlemen know this man?"
39229Do you know Fell''s writing?
39229Do you know there''s a crowd down in the street-- policemen and automobiles and a lot of excitement?
39229Do you know, Mr. Gramont, that oddly enough there were no pin holes in that paper?
39229Do you know, a most curious thing----"Yes?
39229Do you know, it was a lucky thing that you had no chance to dispose of the jewels and money you obtained? 39229 Do you like little Columbine?"
39229Do you realize that you are intruding most unwarrantably into my private matters?
39229Do you really mean to use that word?
39229Do you seriously think that note is genuine?
39229Do you suppose I''ll deny firing you?
39229Do you think that you will know me again?
39229Do you wish to eat it, that you sniff so hard?
39229Do you?
39229Do?
39229Does this here Miss Ledanois,asked Hammond,"play in with you in the game?
39229Dolt that you are, do I have to be known when the check is endorsed under my signature? 39229 Eh?
39229Eh?
39229Eleven to- morrow morning, eh?
39229Emotion? 39229 Expect you?
39229For what, Mr. Fell? 39229 Forfeit-- where are your masks, sober gentlemen?
39229Free country, ai n''t it?
39229Gramont?
39229Gumberts is coming out day after to- morrow, is he? 39229 Hammond, how much of this is true?"
39229Hammond, you''ll kindly remember this conversation, in case your future testimony is needed----"Confound you, what d''you mean talking that way?
39229Hammond? 39229 Have I not some little rights in the world, monsieur?"
39229Have n''t you any friends or relatives to take care of you?
39229Have you a moment to spare, Gramont?
39229Have you any light to throw on the occasion?
39229Here, where''s your warrant? 39229 Here-- with them?
39229Him?
39229How many places had you robbed up to then? 39229 Huh?"
39229I got in, did n''t I?
39229I hope you''re not going to take the fine artistic pose that it is a crime to make money?
39229I might have guessed that something unusual was----"No; how could you guess?
39229I s''pose you would like to know that, huh? 39229 I suppose we may proceed to business?"
39229I suppose you''ve been gadding all around the town ever since the Revellers opened the season?
39229I suppose your sense of duty will force you to disclose everything to her?
39229I thought you said you''d not heard of it?
39229I try not to be a snob, eh? 39229 I wonder what happened to them so abruptly?
39229I wonder who that was, now?
39229I''ll leave the car outside town, and hoof it in with the boxes, so that nobody will notice the car or connect it with the packages, eh? 39229 I''m here to prove it, ai n''t I?
39229I-- ah-- my friends, I do n''t suppose you''ve seen Bob recently?
39229If he knew that I had brains enough to pull off that stunt and keep all New Orleans up in the air-- wouldn''t I make a good partner? 39229 Important?
39229In a sense, yes; why not?
39229Is n''t it pretty, auntie?
39229Is there anything important?
39229It does look that way, does n''t it? 39229 It is understood that you will not go about tracing these little clues?
39229Jachin, huh? 39229 Look here-- you''re a stranger here?
39229M. le prince is seeing America,_ n''est ce pas_? 39229 May I call?
39229Me? 39229 Me?"
39229No chance?
39229No one saw the actual murder, then?
39229No''joyment in you any more? 39229 Now what was the big surprise that you just mentioned you were going to give poor Mr. Fell this afternoon?"
39229Now, without confession? 39229 Oh, I half suspected that it was you----""But you were not sure?"
39229Or have you invested your winnings and bought this here alley?
39229Say, you''bo, who sold you chips in this game? 39229 Scared?
39229Seen anything of an aviator''s helmet around here?
39229Seven of them so far, eh? 39229 Shall I not continue with my reading?
39229Silly? 39229 So Hearne has given up everything, has he?
39229So few homes are worthy the name; so few have in them the intimate air of use and friendliness-- why are so many furnished from bargain sales? 39229 So this is the way you keep your promises, is it?
39229So you do n''t know what happened to- day, eh? 39229 So you killed the Goog, eh?"
39229So you think that he''s immune from influence, do you?
39229So you wo n''t be arrested, eh? 39229 So,"the girl smiled a little,"you would betray your business friends in order to make a bit of money for me?"
39229So?
39229So?
39229Some car, eh?
39229Some criminal?
39229Take me back, will you? 39229 Tell me, Henry Gramont, what mad impulse brought you to all this?
39229That''s likely, is n''t it?
39229That?
39229The truth? 39229 Then there''s nothing to be done?"
39229Then you are not aware that Mr. Fell is a man of large affairs?
39229Then you had someone on my trail?
39229Then you still mean to go to Jachin Fell with your scheme?
39229This fellow is your chauffeur, ai n''t he? 39229 This is Mr. Gramont?
39229This is for a thousand dollars----"Can I not read?
39229Those boxes? 39229 To see me?
39229Unwarrantably?
39229Want to hit back for town?
39229Was n''t he caught with the goods?
39229Well, Chacherre,he said, rising and returning to the Creole,"any further news from Houma?
39229Well, how d''you expect to come out on top of the heap?
39229Well, who really did profit by my loss? 39229 Well, why in hell did n''t you say all that in the first place, instead o''beefin''around?
39229Well,and the chief gestured despairingly,"I guess that lets out the real Masquer, eh?"
39229Well? 39229 Well?"
39229Well?
39229Were they not given you to wear to- night? 39229 What about the oil company?
39229What are you doing here, then?
39229What are you doing out on the streets alone?
39229What business is that of yours, sir?
39229What d''you think I am-- a boche? 39229 What do you get out of it?"
39229What do you mean by this?
39229What do you mean? 39229 What do you mean?"
39229What do you mean?
39229What do you mean?
39229What do you say, Hammond? 39229 What do you think of selling the lease to these other men?"
39229What has that got to do with our present business?
39229What lottery?
39229What luck?
39229What means all this mystery and melodramatic action, Gramont?
39229What t''ell you doin''?
39229What the devil d''you mean?
39229What the devil does the fellow mean?
39229What was he like? 39229 What would you do, then, if you were in my place?"
39229What you doin''here?
39229What''s Maillard''s story?
39229What''s been going on here?
39229What''s stirrin'', anyhow?
39229What''s that about the Midnight Masquer? 39229 What''s that?"
39229What''s the matter, man?
39229What''s this Mi- Carême I''ve been reading about in the papers, anyhow? 39229 What''s this, now-- what''s this?"
39229What''s this-- some hoax? 39229 What''s to hinder getting my own company on its feet?
39229What''s up? 39229 What''s your motive, Fell?"
39229What?
39229What?
39229What?
39229What?
39229Where''s Ben Chacherre? 39229 Where''s Charlie the Goog?"
39229Where''s the Goog?
39229Where''s the sheriff''s body?
39229Where-- where on earth did_ you_ obtain such a thing? 39229 Who are you guys?
39229Who are you, monsieur?
39229Who are you?
39229Who knows? 39229 Who knows?"
39229Who owns the land next to the Ledanois place?
39229Who sent for us?
39229Who was the man, then?
39229Who you kiddin''now?
39229Who''re you?
39229Who''s he?
39229Who-- who are you?
39229Why did you do it, then?
39229Why not call it the''American Prince Oil Company''?
39229Why not, if you got money in it?
39229Why not? 39229 Why not?"
39229Why would n''t the boss leave the money come out of the takin''s, hey?
39229Why, what''s the matter?
39229Why?
39229Why?
39229Will you also take a message from me to the editor of your newspaper-- and see that it goes to the others as well?
39229Will you dine with us to- morrow evening, Lucie? 39229 Will you excuse us one moment, Lucie?
39229Will you play out the game hard to the end? 39229 Will you stop laughing at me?
39229With him?
39229Wonder what rich chap can be down here at his summer cottage this time of year? 39229 Would n''t trust you, eh?"
39229Yes? 39229 Yes?"
39229Yet, what''s to hinder my going ahead, in the meantime?
39229You are Ben Chacherre, eh? 39229 You are basing your firm conviction,"he queried,"very largely upon your discovery of the free oil?"
39229You are quite satisfied that there is nothing serious in the affair, then?
39229You got Chacherre''s wire about the stuff in his car? 39229 You intend to mask for the Maillards''?"
39229You mean he stung you?
39229You mean----Lucie drew a quick breath,"Bob?"
39229You realize the fact, eh?
39229You remember that I thought he suspected me of being the Masquer? 39229 You saw him?"
39229You say the sheriff was here, then went over toward the Ledanois land?
39229You think I murdered Maillard, then?
39229You think so?
39229You think there''s oil on the land?
39229You think they got us, cap''n? 39229 You thought you had Hammond sewed up tight, did n''t you?
39229You watch out, cap''n, I heard''em say somethin''about Memphis Izzy-- remember the guy I told you about one day? 39229 You were excited when you wrote this, were n''t you?
39229You would betray your business associates to help me?
39229You''d try blackmail, would you?
39229You''re Ben Chacherre, are n''t you? 39229 You''re not goin''to pull the trick again, then?"
39229You''re not going to send me to prison, I trust?
39229You''re not offended with me, Lucie?
39229You''re sure you''ll not kidnap me or anything like that? 39229 You''re willing to take care of all the rest of the gang, chief?"
39229You''ve got the stuff?
39229You''ve made copies of this, of course? 39229 You''ve not heard?"
39229You-- do you know that those boxes were taken from my car?
39229You-- you really think so? 39229 You-- you wish to cash a check?"
39229Your argument about inducing Mr. Fell to go into business with you is naïve----"But, as an argument, is n''t it quite sound?
39229Your car? 39229 A piker-- when he can make a hundred- thousand- dollar haul?
39229A very pleasant surprise, Maillard?
39229About them cars from Texas-- any news?"
39229All ready, Memphis Izzy?
39229All she needs,"drawled Chacherre,"is some good tires, a new coat of paint, a good steel chassis, and a new engine----""Huh?"
39229Am I a telephone, then?
39229An American, is n''t he?
39229An agent of the gang there?"
39229And I suppose that the exigencies of the case justified you, a private citizen, in carrying arms and using them?
39229And do you know why young Maillard wanted to buy the land?
39229And how had Lucie come into the affair?
39229And how in the name o''goodness did they get in_ her_ house?
39229And how was he to tell her the truth?
39229And now you come along----""Man, what are you driving at?"
39229And now----""Now, I suppose,"said the girl, thoughtfully,"you''ll put that awful Creole of yours on the track of Mr. X.?
39229And what was it that he, Gramont, was supposed to have done?
39229Any message to send?"
39229Any one?"
39229Aramis?
39229Are my family affairs to be an open book to the world?"
39229Are n''t the stones pretty?"
39229Are you going to let Miss Ledanois''fortunes go to wrack and ruin?"
39229Are you willing to arrest Jachin Fell, or not?"
39229As I may not see Miss Ledanois in the meantime, will you be kind enough to assure her presence at the meeting?
39229As bandits?"
39229Ben Chacherre, the sneak thief-- how had Chacherre come here?
39229Besides, are n''t we fellow criminals?"
39229Bootlegging?
39229Bring out any orders?"
39229But tell me, Lucie-- are you angry?"
39229But what about them aviator''s clothes?"
39229But who was this brown monk, who seemed to know so much, who danced so divinely, whose French was like music?
39229But why tell her anything?
39229But why, then?
39229But, sergeant, how about the quiet little man who came along last night at the Maillard house and asked about the car?
39229But-- was it that sort of a proposal?
39229By the way, does Fell know anything about Hammond having been the first Masquer?"
39229By the way, get that tin box out of my trunk, will you?
39229By the way, if I have need of you in running down the Masquer, may I call upon your services?"
39229By the way, you have n''t seen Bob?
39229Chacherre did not know that I was in partnership with the boss, get me?
39229Chacherre had something to do with the"place"--did that mean the adjacent property, or the Ledanois farm?
39229Come down to the library in five minutes, will you?
39229Counterfeiting?
39229Did Lucie Ledanois dream such a thing?
39229Did he get well?
39229Did he have the baseness to try and save himself through Lucie?
39229Did n''t you see me here a little while ago with Chacherre and the other boys?"
39229Did you find the airplane?"
39229Did you forget we were going to the Maillards''to- night?"
39229Did you leave all your manners in France, M. le prince?"
39229Did you suspect my business?"
39229Did your gown come for to- night?"
39229Do n''t you think so yourself, master?"
39229Do you believe in your heart that Maillard killed his father?"
39229Do you dare refuse?"
39229Do you know who he is?"
39229Do you know, I honestly thought you a fortune- hunter from Europe?
39229Do you like him?"
39229Do you not know me?"
39229Do you object?"
39229Do you solemnly promise, upon your honour, that the Midnight Masquer is dead for ever?"
39229Do you think I would spare such a man as you?
39229Do you think his story might be true-- that somebody else might have acted as the Masquer that night?"
39229Do you understand?
39229Does any one else know that you-- that you are interested in my affairs?"
39229Does any one here know you?"
39229Does n''t the argument hold good with her?"
39229Does this confession implicate Mr. Fell, here?"
39229Eh?
39229Eh?
39229Eh?"
39229Fell is one of the crack chess players here, is n''t he?"
39229Fell?"
39229Fell?"
39229For knowing too much of your private affairs?"
39229From whom, if you please?"
39229Gentlemen, you will kindly unmask-- which one of you is Robert Maillard?"
39229Get me?"
39229Go and tell him you do not know his signature-- well, who are you looking at?
39229Got any particular business here?
39229Got anything to prove that you ai n''t pullin''something cute on me?"
39229Got the ones outside?"
39229Gramont?"
39229Had the man guessed something?
39229Had the man known something?
39229Hammond is still safe in jail?"
39229Has Bob Maillard offered to buy your remaining land on the Bayou Terrebonne?"
39229Have I not eyes in my head?
39229Have n''t you discovered a thing?"
39229Have n''t you found him yet?"
39229Have you been hurt?"
39229Have you brought her?"
39229Have you examined your favour yet?"
39229Have you had secrets from me?"
39229He bought the car----""And who sold the car to the garage people?
39229He had thought to come upon some traces of the lottery game----"Seen all you want, bo?"
39229He has come to America to find a rich wife, is it not?"
39229He was thinking about that odd mention of Jachin Fell-- had Chacherre lied in saying he had come here on his master''s business?
39229He''s a geologist or engineer, I think?"
39229He''s not appeared again?"
39229Hello, Gramont-- where to?"
39229Here, Fell-- can''t you help us out?
39229His son''s life is one of roguery and drunken wildness----""Man, are you mad?"
39229How are you to take this man into town?
39229How can he prove anything, unless he had brought the police to open up that compartment?
39229How could he have guessed what only she and one other barely suspected?
39229How could he have known?
39229How did it happen that you sold him that stock of yours in the company?"
39229How did you get here?
39229How is she?"
39229How long had she suspected him, then?
39229I believe that you carry a wallet?
39229I caught him in the act-- you remember I told you about him?
39229I have the car outside, Lucie; may I have the pleasure of taking you driving?"
39229I intend to be up early in the morning and get off to work----""What?"
39229I presume that you''ll attend Comus with the Maillards?"
39229I presume that your late visitor left it as a memento?"
39229I rob only those who can afford to lose-- am I really as bad as you, in the eyes of morality and ethics?
39229I suppose you know that Bob Maillard has been arrested for parricide?
39229I suppose you know what is in those parcels?"
39229I suppose you''ve reconciled yourself to returning the stuff?"
39229I think that this party would be a rich haul for the Masquer, eh?
39229I think, gentlemen, we had better attend to bringing in the body of the sheriff, eh?"
39229I trust for your sake that the fact has n''t become generally known inside?"
39229I trust that Mrs. Maillard was righteous and envious?"
39229I trust your little game did not result in casualties?"
39229I trust, Mr. Gramont, that you will vote with me for the adjournment?"
39229I''ll have to leave him in jail, I suppose----"Why did Fell want to"get something"on Hammond?
39229I''ll stick it all in, huh?"
39229I''ll''phone Mr. Fell that you said you''d be away for a few hours, eh?
39229I''ve done it, often-- and I''ve always put the extra blank into my pocket, Ben, thinking it might come in handy; just as you did, eh?
39229In the house?"
39229Is my unwarrantable intrusion forgiven?"
39229Is that all right?"
39229Is that right?"
39229Is your car here?
39229It never occurred to you that other people might have been there in the bushes when the sheriff was murdered, eh?"
39229It was altogether absurd, of course-- yet why not?
39229It will give the good people a little more reason for jubilation to- night, eh?"
39229It''s still the Lenten season, is n''t it?
39229It''s worth thinking over, is n''t it?
39229Jachin Fell continued whimsically:"Regarding these very conditions many years ago, gentlemen, I was tempted to change my profession-- but to what?
39229Just come from New Orleans, did you?"
39229Kind of me, eh?
39229Lucie knew him better than most, and could not believe----"May I crave pardon for my error?"
39229Lucie, you do not mind if we smoke, I know?
39229Mardi Gras does n''t come more than once a year?
39229Mardi Gras only comes once a year, eh?
39229May I ask whose it is?"
39229Maybe you want to frame up an alibi for him?"
39229Memphis Izzy Gumberts, eh?
39229Memphis Izzy is attending to the lottery-- he''s got the whole layout up to the house, and we ai n''t touching it, see?
39229Memphis Izzy is going down to his summer cottage to- morrow, is n''t he?
39229Miss Ledanois is to be here at nine, Fell?"
39229My old man had a livery stable there, see?
39229Name, please?"
39229No danger of his getting lynched, I hope?"
39229No, that would n''t matter a hang to them-- but what checked them so quickly?"
39229Nobody hurt out here?"
39229Now he shot out a single word:"Why?"
39229Now, are n''t you glad that you confided in me?"
39229Now, my dear Gramont, I do not presume that you will still refuse to vote with me?
39229On page 49, a quotation mark was placed after"You''d try blackmail, would you?"
39229Or had those words been only a bit of meaningless impertinence-- a chance shaft which had accidentally flown home?
39229Or if you needed money, why did n''t you come to me?"
39229Out o''the Bible, ai n''t it?
39229Postoffice?
39229Pray, what is the secret?"
39229Ready, Joseph?"
39229Remember the oil concern to which you persuaded your precious father to sell some of Miss Ledanois''s bayou land?
39229Remember the real estate company to which you persuaded him to sell her St. Landry parish property?
39229Savvy?
39229Savvy?"
39229Say, are you going back to the city to- night?"
39229See here, where did you get that collar of jewels?"
39229Shall I let them in?"
39229Shall I tell you what I have discovered?"
39229Should he strike or not?
39229So Bob is drinking again, eh?
39229So old Ben got pinched, huh?
39229So you know about things, eh?
39229So your damnable influence goes as far as those two men, does it-- those men who are respected above all others in this city?
39229Some carnival jest?"
39229Some kind o''stock deal?"
39229Someone must have been watching us last night, eh?"
39229Something about Jachin and Boaz?"
39229Suggestions?"
39229Take care of that evidence, will you?
39229Take_ me_?"
39229Tell me, do you think that the Midnight Masquer will make an appearance to- night?"
39229Tell you what, m''friends-- come with me and I''ll find you a li''l drink, eh?
39229That is understood?"
39229The bandit bowed slightly, and addressed the gathering in a tone of dry raillery:"An outrage?
39229The loot was valued at about a hundred thousand?"
39229The words of the monk intrigued her; what had the man guessed?
39229Then what''s all the celebration about?"
39229Then who is he?"
39229There''s no doubt that Gramont pulled it, eh?"
39229They have n''t found the real murderer yet?"
39229They''ll tell you when they get back----""Where''d they go?"
39229Think he''s put the bulls wise?"
39229Think we can stop here, or go back to the hotel?
39229This Masquer gets no protection, see?
39229This organization is going in for politics, then?"
39229Three, was n''t it?"
39229Want me to keep each bunch separate, do n''t you?"
39229Was he to find that the seepage came from ground belonging to someone else?
39229Was he to lose this discovery, after all?
39229Was it a silly, boyish effort to be romantic-- was it a mere outburst of bravado?
39229Was it burned?"
39229Was it for that----?"
39229Was she behind the theft of the loot?
39229Was the garage locked?"
39229We''d be real detectives?"
39229Well, Jachin, it was a hoax after all, eh?
39229Well, chief, that''s good of you; sit down and have a cigar, eh?
39229Well, one night a guy come along and got the old man out of bed, and slips him fifteen hundred for a rig and a team, see?
39229What are you going to do with those boxes?"
39229What bothered you last night, or rather, who?"
39229What can we do?"
39229What could have turned up now?
39229What did that matter, though?
39229What did this mean?
39229What had happened?
39229What had happened?
39229What is he?
39229What kind of a crook is he, sergeant?"
39229What remains?
39229What the hell you doing around this joint?"
39229What was it Hammond said that day about him-- that nobody in the country had ever caught Memphis Izzy?
39229What"place"was it that the sheriff of Houma had been looking over?
39229What''s behind all this?"
39229What''s the big idea, anyway?
39229What''s the matter?
39229What''s up?"
39229What''s up?"
39229What''s wrong with that?"
39229When the crash comes, the fancy kid will be stinging his dad good and hard, eh?"
39229When''ll he get in?"
39229Where did it come from?
39229Where is he?
39229Where is it, Jachin?"
39229Where''s Hammond?"
39229Where''s Lucie?
39229Who aided you in this marvellous affair?"
39229Who cares?
39229Who could not dance with Columbine for partner?
39229Who pays for those lights?
39229Who taught you business, monkey?"
39229Who was he, Gramont?
39229Who''d we talk to here?
39229Who''s Dick Hearne at Houma?
39229Why attempt to make yourself still more attractive?
39229Why ca n''t you be satisfied with bagging so many other victims?
39229Why did you do it?
39229Why do n''t you like him?"
39229Why had the voices so abruptly ceased?
39229Why not?"
39229Why should I not be displeased?
39229Why should we be ashamed of chasing the dollar?
39229Why, what has happened?"
39229Why, when you went out on that first job of ours, d''you know it like to broke me up?
39229Why, you left it in the garage at Gumberts''place, eh?
39229Why-- this is n''t a joke of some kind?"
39229Why?
39229Why?"
39229Why?"
39229Why?"
39229Will not that admission obtain for me one little dance, one hint of forgiveness from fair Columbine?"
39229Will you need to use my car?"
39229Will you shake hands?"
39229Will you sit down, please?
39229Will you sit down, please?
39229Would Fell come?
39229Would you have me read your thoughts and give penance?"
39229You are aware of the evidence against him-- all circumstantial?"
39229You are not trying to frighten me?"
39229You ca n''t bag me----""Ca n''t I?"
39229You comprehend?"
39229You did n''t know that I was the fellow who pinched old Ben, did you?
39229You do n''t belong to that organization by any chance?
39229You do n''t know of any motive for the crime?"
39229You follow me?"
39229You get the idea?
39229You goin''to fight the case?"
39229You laid a charge this morning against a fellow named Chacherre?"
39229You men will be right along?"
39229You must own this place, hein?
39229You remember me?"
39229You remember them Chicago lotteries?
39229You understand?
39229You understand?
39229You who disappeared from the parish and became a vagrant----""So you turn up your sanctified nose at Ben Chacherre, do you?"
39229You''d given me up, eh?"
39229You''ll come?"
39229You''ll want a domino?"
39229You''re a stranger here?"
39229You''re in Bob''s company?"
39229You''re keepin''quiet about the name of the real Masquer; why?"
39229You''ve met him, I suppose?"
39229Young Maillard''s related to her, ai n''t he?"
39229Your gang has had a pleasant time, eh?
39229_ Ça?

12280''Sieur Frowenfel'', oo dad man was? 12280 ''Sieur Frowenfel'',"he called from under the counter, later in the day,"you t''ink it would be hanny disgrace to paint de pigshoe of a niggah?"
12280''Sieur Frowenfel'',he resumed, as they came away from the window,"one week ago"--he held up one finger--"what I was doing?
12280''Sieur Frowenfel'',said Aurora, leaning her head on one side,"some pipple thing it is doze climade;''ow you lag doze climade?"
12280''Sieur Grandissime,--her voice was very tender,--"wad you''horry?"
12280A professional call?
12280A silent one,said the apothecary"So silent as to be none of my business?"
12280Achille? 12280 Agricola and Sylvestre?"
12280Ah, ah, I see; like her brother Honoré-- looks at both sides of a question-- a miserable practice; but why could n''t Palmyre use_ her_ eyes? 12280 Ah, my name?
12280Ah?
12280Aha?
12280Allegoricon? 12280 Alone?"

12280And I with you?
12280And Mandarin is really in charge here?
12280And Mr.----, your cousin?
12280And did the trip prove of no advantage to you?
12280And have she and her daughter actually got the money?
12280And how did you answer them?
12280And how, indeed, do you know that?
12280And left the lady?
12280And may I offer you no help in your difficulty?
12280And pray, how would you give a people a free government and then compel them to administer it?
12280And that will bring the money, will it?
12280And what is the question before me?
12280And who is my Neighbor?
12280And why to- night?
12280And why?
12280And you are not afraid to go alone?
12280And you do n''t see that it ought either not to have begun, or else ought not to have ended there?
12280And you positively will give the money to the managers not later than to- morrow evening?
12280And you say that, when you would have inquired for him at Frowenfeld''s, you saw Palmyre there, standing and talking with Frowenfeld? 12280 And you think restitution should be made them, no doubt, eh?"
12280And you think they have been deeply wronged, eh? 12280 And you think you know who it is?"
12280And you will really go and see him?
12280And you?
12280Are you certain of that?
12280Are you writing something, Professor?
12280As Señor will remember I told him,remarked the overseer;"how can a man expect to plow with a zebra?"
12280At any cost?
12280At least, what_ has_ happened? 12280 Awake?"
12280But how came a lady to be out on the levee, at sunset, on foot and alone?
12280But w''at_ can_ dey say? 12280 But when my hand itches,"retorted Aurore in a high key,"have n''t I got to put it instantly into my pocket if I want the money to come there?
12280But who is this person in mortal peril?
12280But who will sing?
12280But why did you let Agamemnon and Valentine go off that way, you?
12280But why, then, does he not walk with her?
12280But with nothing to laugh at?
12280But your late companion?
12280But, Doctor, why not take your own advice? 12280 But,"said the little doctor,"what did that fellow mean by your Creole partner?
12280Can not leave her room?
12280Can you keep shop in the forenoon or afternoon indifferently, as I may require?
12280Can you paint sometimes in the morning and keep shop in the evening?
12280Channel? 12280 Citizen Fusilier, do you know me no better?"
12280Citizen Fusilier,asked one of the gossips,"what has the new government to do with the health of the Muses?"
12280Clemence?
12280Clotilde,said the mother, presently looking up,"do you remember the evening you treated me so ill?"
12280Come, come, Raoul, tell me, what is the news?
12280D''you fin''him?
12280Dad was all?

12280Dead stock in a mercantile sense, you mean,continued the apothecary;"but are men right in measuring such things only by their present market value?"
12280Did I speak? 12280 Did she change her mind, or did she misunderstand me?"
12280Did she sign the paper?
12280Did they ever tell you their history?
12280Did you ever hear of a more perfect specimen of Creole pride? 12280 Did you recognize him?"
12280Did you see him? 12280 Did you see his face?"
12280Did you see that man just turn the bend of the road, away yonder?
12280Did you tell my cousins the foundations of society here are false?
12280Do I know I have a head on my shoulders? 12280 Do dragoons ever moralize?"
12280Do he and Joe Frowenfeld visit there?
12280Do n''t you know?
12280Do we part here?
12280Do you know those ladies, Mr. Frowenfeld? 12280 Do you know where you are going?"
12280Do you know who wrote it?
12280Do you mean''dies''?
12280Do you not know what she was going to do with it?
12280Do you not see it?
12280Do you say they have caught her?
12280Do you think so, Doctor? 12280 Do you wish me to go to- night?"
12280Do you wish me to work a spell for you?
12280Do you wish to put it in the window?
12280Do you wish to see me?
12280Doctah Keene,demanded Raoul, ignoring the question,"I hask you now, plain, don''you find dat mighty disgressful to do dat way, lak Honoré?"
12280Doctor Keene,said the visitor, when his attitude was no longer tolerable,"have you anything more to say to me before I leave you?"
12280Does my hand tremble, Joseph? 12280 Does the arrangem''--"his utterance failed him--"does it end there?"
12280Douane?
12280Ee was yeh?--laz nighd?
12280Eh? 12280 Exclusively?"
12280Fo''wad you Cryne?
12280For sale?
12280Frowenfeld,he said, with a smile and in an undertone, as Agricola''s footsteps died away,"do n''t you know who that woman is?"
12280Has it anything inside?
12280Have you any idea who stabbed Citizen Fusilier?
12280Have you any knowledge of this business?
12280Have you heard at whose house this was?
12280Have you not paid it?
12280Have you seen Honoré Grandissime?
12280Have you seen Joseph Frowenfeld to- day?
12280He did n''t say that?
12280He? 12280 Hemorrhage?"
12280Hey, old witch,said the doctor, with mock severity;"not hung yet?"
12280Honoré Grandissime? 12280 Honoré,"said the doctor, following him a step,"I could n''t have made a mistake-- It''s the little Monk,--it''s Aurora, is n''t it?"
12280Honoré?
12280Horses?
12280How are affairs about town?
12280How did that happen?
12280How is he?
12280How is it spelled on that paper?
12280How so?
12280How?
12280How?
12280I adv-- yes; what is it you find?
12280I am sorry now--derisively--"that I never sent_ my_ boy to France, am I not?
12280I did not treat you ill."Yes, do n''t you know-- the evening you made me lose my purse?
12280I do not understand you, sir; what is that?
12280I mean,insisted Frowenfeld,"Is there no man who can stand between you and those who wrong you, and effect a peaceful reparation?"
12280I must go alone; and-- can you lend me your carriage? 12280 I suppose my cousins denied your statement with indignation, eh?"
12280I suppose you know what---- thinks about it?
12280I tell you, Agricole, you did n''t have it with you; Frowenfeld, you have n''t seen a big knotted walking- stick?
12280I thing, me, dey hought to pud doze quadroon''free?
12280I think the warmer is growing weather outside, is it-- is it not?
12280I, Agricola Fusilier, stand as an interpreter to a negro? 12280 If Professo''Frowenfel''''s in?"
12280If the pre- parish- ions are not complitted, you will not find''i m; but if they har complitted-- you know''i m?

12280Is this a corporeal man, or must I doubt my eyes? 12280 Is this what that lady was getting?"
12280Is this young man in love with her?
12280Is your mistress well enough by this time to venture here?
12280It is not true, is it?
12280It is your work?

12280No, it ought not to be so hard--"How, not so hard?
12280No, you make them round; can not you make your doctrines the same way? 12280 No,"she said,"bud a man wad godd some''ouses to rend, muz ee nod boun''to ged''is rend?"

12280Policy? 12280 Possible?"
12280Pro- hofessor Frowenfeld, by what right do you interfere?
12280Purse?
12280Put them-- put-- put them--What could it mean?
12280Rhaoul? 12280 See me alone?"
12280Shall I need any instruments? 12280 Shall we go into my room?"
12280She? 12280 Should the opportunity offer,"continued Joseph,"may I speak a word for you myself?"
12280Sir?
12280Sir?
12280Sir?
12280So you concluded not to die, eh? 12280 Tale me,"said the landlord, as he concluded the recital,"w''y deen Bras Coupé mague dad curze on Agricola Fusilier?
12280That Honoré is having all his business carried on in English?
12280That boat song, do you mean, which they sing as a signal to those on shore?
12280That is all I can do?
12280That is all, Palmyre, is it not? 12280 That is why she wanted the_ basilic_, eh?"
12280The great lawyer?
12280Then the store below is to be occupied by a-- what?

12280Well, and suppose he is; what of it? 12280 Well, do you not find that true?"
12280Well, guess which one is our landlord?
12280Well, how much?
12280Well, old eavesdropper,he said, as Clemence came,"what is the scandal to- day?"
12280Well, sir, what would you give us for our title in case we should decide to part with it?
12280Well, then, the rue du Canal?
12280Well, who is it, then?
12280Well,presently said Palmyre, with a pretence of abandoning her impression,"then you want me to work you a spell for money, do you?"
12280Well,said the governor, smilingly,"you have pointed out what you consider to be the breakers, now can you point out the channel?"
12280Well,said the mortgager, presently rising,"you will make up your mind and let me know, will you?"
12280Well?
12280Well?

12280What could he want?
12280What dat is?
12280What did he say about it?
12280What do the family say to that?
12280What do you intend to convey by that term?
12280What do you mean?
12280What does he do there? 12280 What does he want with me?"
12280What does it mean?
12280What face?
12280What has he done? 12280 What have you there?"
12280What if I should tell you that by watching the Congo dancing- ground at midnight to- night, you will see the real author of this mischief-- eh?
12280What is it?
12280What is prejudice? 12280 What is that you say?"
12280What is the matter with him?
12280What is this?
12280What is this?
12280What large gentlemen was that sitting on the other side?
12280What she''s worse?
12280What sort of a person is M. Grandissime in his appearance?
12280What sort? 12280 What way?"
12280What will you do now?

12280Where is Agamemnon?
12280Where is my mother?
12280Where is the gold that came into your purse? 12280 Where?"
12280Where?
12280Where?
12280Which language do you call_ la belle?_asked Doctor Keene, with pretended simplicity.
12280Which one?
12280Who are they?
12280Who cares whether they share our opinions or not? 12280 Who do you think he is?"
12280Who is with him just now?
12280Who is withered?
12280Who was Bras- Coupé?
12280Who, for instance?
12280Who? 12280 Who?
12280Who?
12280Who?
12280Whom have you married?
12280Why did you not send for me, Joseph? 12280 Why did you tell him?"
12280Why have they not your condemnation?
12280Why not Frowenfeld?
12280Why not?
12280Why should these little concealments ruffle my bosom? 12280 Why?"
12280Will Monsieur be so good as to explain himself?
12280Will Mr. Fusilier''s wound give him much trouble?
12280Will they treat her exactly as if she were white, and had threatened the life of a slave?
12280With the basil? 12280 Would not Monsieur at least consent to be their financial adviser?"
12280Would you think well to go and inquire?
12280Yes, sir; why do you ask?
12280Yes, sir? 12280 Yes, what face?"
12280Yes,replied the apothecary, hat in hand;"where is it?"
12280Yes,replied the mortgager,"it is true they are buying these very titles; but they may be making a mistake?"
12280You are innocent of wrong?
12280You are not one of his clerks?
12280You are sent for it?
12280You charge white people with lying?
12280You do n''t call this a hiding place, do you-- in his own bedchamber?
12280You do n''t mind my-- bad manners, Joe?
12280You do n''t suppose she comes near here, do you? 12280 You goin''take dat lett''to Sylvestre?"
12280You goin''tell''i m?
12280You had it? 12280 You har one tenant, ent it?"
12280You have not lost your purse_ again?_"Ah! 12280 You know him?"
12280You know it is Palmyre, do you?
12280You know?
12280You lak dat song?
12280You laugh?
12280You ligue?
12280You may say,said the ever- amiable Creole,"that you allowed debate to run into controversy, eh?"
12280You think so?
12280You tink I hass too much?
12280You tink she is worse a t''ousand dollah?
12280You wan''to tague the pard of dose Grandissime''?
12280You want to get me into the sort of scrape I got our''professor''into, eh?
12280You was at her house again this morning?
12280You was in dad shob of''Sieur Frowenfel''?
12280You will excuse me, sir?
12280You will pay? 12280 You wish me to open it?
12280You''ad de fivver? 12280 You''ll go?"
12280You''s well? 12280 You-- find-- dad-- nize?"
12280Your partner in business?
12280Your patient,said Doctor Keene,"is an emphatic''yes''to the question the girls sometimes ask us doctors-- Does love ever kill?''
12280_ Comment to yé, Clemence?_The merchant waved his hand as he rode away with his companion.
12280_ Eh, bien_?
12280_ Est il mort_?
12280_ Hé_, Doctah,_ que- ce qui t''après fé?_"_ Ho, ho, compère Noyo!_"_ Comment va_, Docta?
12280_ Hé_, Doctah,_ que- ce qui t''après fé?_"_ Ho, ho, compère Noyo!_"_ Comment va_, Docta?
12280_ I_ ask you?
12280_ Mais, comment?_demanded the suffering daughter.
12280_ Mais_, don you see''ow dad was luggy? 12280 _ Mais_, oo strigue''i m?"
12280_ Montagne?_asked one slave of another,"_ qui est çà, montagne?
12280_ Montagne?_asked one slave of another,"_ qui est çà, montagne?
12280_ Qui ci ça?_asked the Capitain, sternly, stooping and grasping her burden, which she had been trying to conceal under herself.
12280_ What?_ A Creole under sentence!
12280_ Will_ I? 12280 ''E come in blidding--"In w''ere?
12280''Hygrometer l5''--but this is not to- day''s weather?
12280''Ow you like de noo sto''?
12280''Sieur Frowenfel'', I thing dad Honoré Grandissime is one bad man, ent it?
12280''Sieur Frowenfel'', oo you fine dad pigtu''to loog lag, yonnah, hon de wall?"
12280''Sieur Frowenfel''?
12280( Trade with a Grandissime?
12280("And you suffered this thing to take place?"
12280*****"And you say your family decline to accept the assistance of the police in their endeavors to bring the killer of your uncle to justice?"
12280--a Grandissime of the purest blood, will you pledge me your aid to liberate him from his danger,''right or wrong''?"
12280A little hearing of mass, a little telling of beads, a little crossing of one''s self-- what is that?
12280A scientific man?--in Louisiana?"
12280A smile of bitter humor passed over his face, and he looked for a near seat, saying:"How''s Frowenfeld?"
12280A young lady?
12280Agricola entered, followed by the doctor, and demanded in indignant thunder- tones, as he entered:"Who-- ordered-- that-- carriage?"
12280Agricola read:"What is that layde want in thare with Honoré?"
12280Agricola?"
12280Ah, you have none?
12280All gone?"
12280An''w''at we care for valuable citizen?
12280And Palmyre,--and Agricole?
12280And as to her brain: what can we say?
12280And did the intruder get in by magic, by outside lock- picking, or by inside collusion?
12280And did the orphan, in despite of Indians and soldiers and wilderness, settle down here and make a moderate fortune?
12280And how had that forbearance been rewarded?
12280And it is that that is giving you this fever, eh?"
12280And let him know that I am anxious about him?
12280And shall a poor human creature try to be better than a bird?
12280And the passenger more quietly answers back:"Hello, Raoul, is that you?"
12280And was n''t that glorious-- never to be ashamed of anything, no matter how bad?
12280And what has preserved it so long?
12280And what is the decision?
12280Are n''t you glad?"
12280As the populace floated away in knots of three, four and five, those who had witnessed mademoiselle''s(?)
12280At length he spoke:"What is it?"
12280At this point he digressed a moment:"You know my cousin, Honoré Grandissime, w''at give two hund''fifty dolla''to de''ospill laz mont''?
12280Better not be too proud, eh,''Sieur Frowenfel''?"
12280Bud me-- you wand to know wad I thing aboud''i m?
12280But Doctor Keene, without waiting for this question, had asked one:"Does Frowenfeld board with them?"
12280But can I be no help to you in this matter?"
12280But he had a friend-- a cousin-- whom he would recommend, just the man for the position; a splendid fellow; popular, accomplished-- what?
12280But he?
12280But how can the materials of an education be dead stock?"
12280But if Rome commissioned exorcists, could not he employ one?
12280But in the next-- how was this?
12280But never mind me; tell me about Honoré; how does that row with his family progress?"
12280But oo dad odder one?
12280But shall it go on forever?
12280But we will overturn-- eh?"
12280But what is that on the dark eyelash?
12280But what of that?
12280But where had he come out?
12280But where is Valentine?
12280But where was Bras- Coupé?
12280But where?
12280But"--he drew back in his chair sidewise and made great pretence of frowning--"you decline the offices of that precious possession, a Creole friend?"
12280By apologetic reasonings?
12280CHAPTER III"AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?"
12280CHAPTER VII WAS IT HONORÉ GRANDISSIME?
12280CHAPTER X"OO DAD IS,''SIEUR FROWENFEL''?"
12280CHAPTER XVII THAT NIGHT Do we not fail to accord to our nights their true value?

12280CHAPTER XXXV"FO''WAD YOU CRYNE?"
12280CHAPTER XXXVII HONORÉ MAKES SOME CONFESSIONS"Comment çà va, Raoul?"
12280Can you run?
12280Could even so little a city be stirred about such a petty, private trouble as this of his?
12280Could it be that that fist had not descended?
12280Could you suppose, sir, the expression which you may have heard me use--''my downtrodden country''--includes blacks and mulattoes?
12280Di''n''''e gave dat money to Aurora De Grapion?--one''undred five t''ousan''dolla''?
12280Did Agricola believe in the supernatural potency of these gimcracks?
12280Did he not have a conversation with you lately, too?"
12280Did n''t I say my prayers under the blanket just now?"
12280Did n''t I_ always_ tell you so?"
12280Did the brig- master never see the woman again?
12280Didn''I had to run from Bras- Coupé in de haidge of de swamp be''ine de''abitation of my cousin Honoré, one time?
12280Dishonest?
12280Do king or clergy trouble me?
12280Do my pistols show_ too_ much through my coat?
12280Do the people at large repudiate those men?
12280Do you feel strong enough to go with me in your gig a little way?"
12280Do you igno''dad you''ave insult me, off- scow''ing?"
12280Do you imagine I had nothing better to do than notice whether a Grandissime is good- looking or not?
12280Do you not know that women can make money?
12280Do you not see why it is that this practical world does not permit ladies to make a living?
12280Do you remember-- on the levee, by the Place d''Armes-- me asking you to send Agricola to me?
12280Do you see?
12280Do you suppose she was going to put on the face of having been born or married to this degraded condition of things?
12280Do you think it practicable?
12280Do you think our soil will support such a structure?"
12280Do you think they would so belittle themselves as to write to the usurper?
12280Do you visit them at home?"
12280Do you want Alphonsina to be seized for the rent?"
12280Doctor Keene visibly in love with one of them--_which one_?
12280Does not even Nature herself practise wiles?
12280Don''you know de debble ah de grett cyount''-feiteh?
12280Ee thing so, too, eh?"
12280Eh?
12280Evade?
12280Fo''w''at?"
12280Fo''w''y do n''t he give his nemm?"
12280For how does the king in these matters of religion?
12280Foreigner by sentiment and intention, or only by accident of birth?
12280Foreigner or native?
12280Forenoon-- afternoon?"
12280Frhowenfeld?"
12280Frowenfeld?"
12280Frowenfeld?"
12280Frowenfeld?"
12280Go and what?
12280Grandissime?"
12280H- do you imagine there is anything strange to me in this-- at my age?"
12280Had he not overlooked some expedient?
12280Had not a man better temporize a while, and see what Ex- Governor- general Casa Calvo and Trudeau were going to do?
12280Halways bizzie?
12280Have they caught her?"
12280Have you heard it thunder and rain in those Louisiana lowlands?
12280Have you one?"
12280He dropped his voice and said-- asking like a child a question he was perfectly able to answer--"What de matta wid Agricole?"
12280He opened his lips to speak; but she was quicker than he, and said, in a stealthy way that seemed oddly unnecessary:"You''ave some basilic?"
12280He stopped still to think; what"train of thought"could he have started in the mind of such a man?
12280He turned once more and mentally beat his breast as he muttered:"Why do I not decide?"
12280Honoré Grandissime avowedly in love with one of them--_which one_?
12280How could it be otherwise?
12280How dare you insinuate that my kinsmen may deal otherwise than justly?"
12280How dare you, sir?
12280How dare you, sir?"
12280How do you do, sir?
12280How is Frowenfeld?"
12280How''s Honoré?
12280How?
12280I mean do you use these books?"
12280I thought you-- As I was saying, gentlemen, what, after all, does it sum up?"
12280I will set some chairs outside, eh?
12280I wonder why he is out here on foot?"
12280I, too, was born in America-- but will any man responsible for his opinion mistake me-- Agricola Fusilier-- for an American?"
12280If I know he is yo''frien''?
12280If dat is_ so_, den fo''w''y I yeh folks bragg''n''bout de''stayt o''s''iety in Eu''ope''?"
12280If that Dragoon is not our cousin Honoré Grandissime-- well--""Honoré in mask?
12280If you will be so kind?"
12280In a little while there came a light footstep, and a soft, mock- startled"Who is that?"
12280Is education better than family peace?
12280Is it for naught, that I have sallied forth from home, drawing the curtains of my carriage to shield me from the gazing crowd?
12280Is n''t it just glorious?"
12280Is that right, sir?"
12280Is that what you mean-- an ointment?"
12280Is there anything at all what I will not give or even do if Palmyre will be my wife?
12280Let events take any possible turn, how could it make any difference to Clemence?
12280Let them suspect he needed money?)
12280Let us see; how much will you give to the sick and destitute?"
12280Ligue his oncle, eh?
12280Look at the innocent birds; do they build where everybody can count their eggs?
12280M. Grandissime smiled softly, while he said to himself:"You little honey- bee, you want to sting me, eh?"
12280M. Raoul Innerarity hesitated a moment before replying:"''Sieur Frowenfel'', I think it is a foolishness to be too proud, eh?
12280Mandarin is in charge of your store, but he is not your partner, is he?
12280Men like Camille Brahmin, for instance, or Charlie Mandarin: suppose Spain or France should get the province back, then where would they be?
12280Mr. Frowenfeld, I propose to become the strife- maker; how then, can I be a peacemaker at the same time?
12280Must we repeat already that Frowenfeld was abnormally young?
12280My condemnation?
12280My son make friends with Américains and tell me they-- that call a negro''monsieur''--are as good as his father?
12280My- de''-seh, can_ you_ afford not to succeed?"
12280My- de''-seh, the water must expect to take the shape of the bucket; eh?"
12280No, my dear fellow, your father and mother ca n''t see you yet; you do n''t want them to catch the fever, do you?
12280No?
12280No?
12280No?"
12280No?"
12280Nod to sood me, of coze,_ mais, çà fait rien_--daz nott''n; me, I am now a h''ole woman, you know, eh?
12280Non?_ Ee thingue we is ridge, eh?
12280Non?_ Ee thingue we is ridge, eh?
12280Nor you, Monsieur?
12280Not that he believed it had been done; for, look you, how could it be?
12280Now was n''t that drawing a fine point?"
12280Now what I want to know is, how are my friends?
12280Now, who might_ this_ be?
12280Of brass?
12280Of our mental fibre-- our aspirations-- our delights-- our indignations?
12280Of steel?
12280Oh!--dead stock?
12280Oh, Mawse''Polyte, is you gwan to let''em kill ole Clemence?
12280Oh, Raoul, how is he now?
12280Oh, please-- now, you see?
12280Oh, sweet_ Miché Jean_, you not gwan to kill me?
12280Oh, yes, wash his hands?
12280Once''pon a time I had a diffycultie wid--""I see,"said Frowenfeld;"where may I find Hippolyte Brahmin- Mandarin at this time of day?"
12280Oo done dat,''Sieur Frowen fel''?"
12280Oo nurse you w''en you was sick?"
12280Prhay, who is that?"
12280Professor Frowenfeld, when will you give your splendid services to your section?
12280Reached how?
12280Reasoning with?
12280See?
12280Shake hands?
12280Shall we go to bed?"
12280Shall we never learn to withhold our tears until we are sure of our trouble?
12280She heard his footstep again; it reached the door; the door opened-- closed; she heard his footstep again; was he gone?
12280Should she tell them to Clotilde?
12280Sign something?
12280Sir, will you do that?
12280Some one near the front of the store was talking excitedly with Raoul:"An''--an''--an''w''at are the consequence?
12280Speak to the point; who--""I believe him, moreover, Citizen Fusilier, innocent of the charge laid--""H- innocent?
12280Suppose we all wash our hands?
12280That evening at the pharmacy-- was there a tall, handsome gentleman standing by the counter?"
12280That is what I hear my cousins,''Polyte and Sylvestre, in the heat of discussion, called you the other evening; is it so?"
12280The Creole waved his hand toward one of them and said:"Now, Mr. Frowenfeld, you see?
12280The book, of course, will be in French, eh?
12280The doctor asked:"And who takes care of Aurora''s money?"
12280The interrogation,"Surrender Fausse Rivière?"
12280The next question had a tincture even of fierceness:"You think it right to sink fifty or a hundred people into poverty to lift one or two out?"
12280The patient spoke:"_ Eh bi''n, Miché_?"
12280The question was:"_ Can you state anything positive concerning the duel_?"
12280The third person who did not fear him was-- Agricola?
12280The united grace and pride of her movement was inspiring but-- what shall we say?--feline?
12280The woman stirred, as if to say"Well?"
12280Then Capitain Jean- Baptiste Grandissime for the first time spoke at length:"Do you see this?"
12280There is no mercy in the Grandissime blood; but can not I demand justice?
12280There were two loose threads hanging from the web of incident weaving around him which ought to connect somewhere; but where?
12280These are they who have been pausing proudly week after week in an endeavor(?)
12280Think of that these times, fillette; and passage free, withal, to-- the garden of Eden, as you may call it-- what more, say you, can a poor girl want?
12280This sort of speech about a Grandissime?
12280To a counting- room?
12280To be, it seems to me,"he said in summing up,--"that to be is not so necessary as to do, eh?
12280To the presence of the chief of that detestable race?
12280Twenty- five dolla''de mont''?
12280Valuable citizen?
12280Very well, who is he?
12280W''at I got do wid Mawse Frowenfel''?
12280W''at we want to be insurrectionin''faw?
12280W''at you t''ink, Doctah?"
12280W''at?
12280Wad''e said?"
12280Was it Honoré Grandissime?
12280Was it Honoré Grandissime?
12280Was it genuine?
12280Was not some financial manoeuvre possible which might compass both desired ends?
12280Was that the hour?
12280Was the immigrant growing wise, or weak, that he remained silent?
12280Was there no way to make things happen differently?
12280Was this so?
12280Was this to signify that M. Grandissime had heard of it?
12280Whad you thing,''Sieur Frowenfel''?"
12280What can a woman do?"
12280What can we do?
12280What can we say?
12280What could he say?
12280What could she fear to lose?
12280What could she hope to gain?
12280What could the proposition be which involved so grave an issue, and to which M. Grandissime''s final answer was"I will do it"?
12280What do I behold before me?
12280What do we want with a bank?
12280What else could I mean?
12280What has Frowenfeld done?
12280What has Honoré done?
12280What have you written, eh?"
12280What is that up yonder in the sky?
12280What kept you so long-- so long?"
12280What on earth has waked your curiosity so suddenly, anyhow?"
12280What then?
12280What was it?
12280What young lady?
12280What, then, will they do with the world''s literature?
12280What?
12280What?
12280What?
12280When shall we ever get through these exciting times?"
12280Where could she have disappeared?
12280Where is Charlie Keene?"
12280Where is Charlie Mandarin?"
12280Where is Honoré?
12280Where is she lying?"
12280Which part of it?
12280Who could have got in in the night?
12280Who is he?"
12280Who was it?"
12280Why did we not rise yesterday, when the public heart was stirred?
12280Why did you not remind me, eh?"
12280Why do I perspire so?
12280Why not rue Bienville?"
12280Why should he weaken and hesitate, and suggest delays and middle courses, and stammer over their proposed measures as"extreme"?
12280Why should n''t I?
12280Why should the trivial scandal be blabbed?
12280Why should we shrive you when you ought to burn?"
12280Why these flashes of gladness?
12280Why, it would take until breakfast to tell what''all this means,''--the story of that pestiferous darky Bras Coupé, with the rest?
12280Why--""You do not expect mercy from Honoré Grandissime?
12280Why?
12280Why?
12280Will not Honoré be proud of him now?
12280Will you take a little advice from an old soldier?
12280Will you--?"
12280Would any one hereafter dispute with him on the subject of Louisiana sea- coast navigation?
12280Would it answer to tell the truth?
12280Would some unforeseen circumstance shut him off this evening again from this very proper use of time and opportunity?
12280Would that great majority of Spanish titles, derived from the concessions of post- commandants and others of minor authority, hold good?
12280Would this provisional governor- general himself be able to stand fast?
12280Would you like to make their acquaintance?"
12280Yes?
12280You call dat justice?"
12280You can not afford to be_ entirely_ different from the community in which you live; is that not so?"
12280You don''yeh''ow''e gone partner''wid a nigga?"
12280You dunno?
12280You find it easier to be in harmony with Louisiana than with Louisianians, eh?"
12280You fine dad agriz wid you''healt'',''Sieur Frowenfel''?
12280You had not heard?
12280You har a jedge of painting?"
12280You know the house?"
12280You know''i m?"
12280You know, Mr. Frowenfeld, there is a kind of tree not dreamed of in botany, that lets fall its fruit every day in the year-- you know?
12280You must not tell anybody about this little event, eh?"
12280You see?
12280You see?
12280You think Honoré di''n''bitrayed''''is family?
12280You think I would get married on dat sal''rie w''at Proffis- or Frowenfel''was payin''me?
12280You want a clerk?--one what can speak fo''lang- widge-- French, Eng- lish, Spanish,_ an''_ Italienne?
12280You want to make up your mind_ now_ what you will_ do_, and at your leisure what you will_ be_; eh?
12280You will not come in?
12280You would not ask it?"
12280You would not so affront the most sacred prejudices of the noble people to whom you owe everything as to publish it in English?
12280You''eard concernin''the dool?"
12280_ Est- ce- vous_, Honoré?
12280_ How?_ H- I perceive it!
12280_ Ma chère_, fo''wad you mague me to hass all dose question?"
12280_ Think so?_ I know it!
12280_ maman_, what makes you look so sick?"
12280_"Qui ci ça, Miché?
12280and for what?
12280and, if so, would it stand?
12280asked the merchant, with severe politeness,"wish to see me?
12280but has n''t she taught him a lesson?
12280cried Clotilde, in the same mood,"and what face had he when he wrote that letter?"
12280do n''t you remember great- great grandfather Fusilier''s portrait-- the gilded casque and heron plumes?
12280eh?
12280exclaimed the master, with gentle emphasis,"how so?"
12280exclaimed their spokesman;"shall I tell you again what he is?"
12280gnia pas quiç''ose comme çà dans la Louisiana?_( What''s a mountain?"
12280gnia pas quiç''ose comme çà dans la Louisiana?_( What''s a mountain?"
12280have we torn it?"
12280how do you do, sir?"
12280how do_ I_ know?
12280laughed Aurora,"an''wad of dad?
12280mo piti fils, to pas connais to zancestres?_ Do n''t you know your ancestors, my little son!"
12280my sweet mother, are you so cold?"
12280or am I wrong?"
12280replied Agricola, addressing the surrounding scenery,"if I did not-- who would?
12280said Honoré;"do you suppose I have not temptation enough already?"
12280sister,"said the dying man,"is that you?
12280that was easy,"replied the other, amusedly;"but how?"
12280voilà un joli Joseph!_ What did I tell you?
12280w''at''s de mattah wid you?
12280w''en I will swear on a stack of Bible''as''igh as yo''head, dat Agricole win dat''abitation fair!--If I see it?
12280was she forgetting that she was a widow?
12280what do you mean with your''no''?"
12280who is a tempter like thee?
12280you do n''t know those women better than that?
12280you know?
12280you see I am a merchant, eh?
29439''Undt now, Mr. Richlun, do you kot teh shtrengdt for to shtart a noo pissness?'' 29439 ''What day of the month,''did you ask?
29439About his chopping the cherry- tree with his hatchet?
29439Advertise? 29439 An infant?"
29439An old acquaintance?
29439And am I always-- always to be blown back-- blown back this way?
29439And did he say that he would?
29439And did n''t you insist that he should?
29439And does n''t that seem a strange way to manage a matter like that,--to put it into the hands of a detective?
29439And he has full charge of all the drugs?
29439And he wants you to send me back home for a while?
29439And how are you going to provide for the future?
29439And how manny times have ye bean in this prison?
29439And how_ is_ Mrs. Richlin''? 29439 And is n''t that as man and wife should be?"
29439And nobody told him anything?
29439And now you''ll_ not_ be cast down,_ will_ you?
29439And so you think of having Laura and Bess come out from Charleston, and keep house for you this winter? 29439 And so you''re a lieutenant?"
29439And suppose I should say that I''m glad I''ve heard it, and that I even intend to make good use of it?
29439And that is--?
29439And that she coughed as she did so?
29439And then?
29439And what have I to do with all this?
29439And what will men say of me? 29439 And where is the place for convalescents?"
29439And where''s Larry?
29439And who cares if it does n''t?
29439And who will get the estate?
29439And will the soldiers come back,asked the young man, smilingly,"when they find their lives in danger?"
29439And you want to know whether you did right?
29439And you will carpet the floor?
29439And you''d join Garibaldi, I suppose?
29439And--Mary laughed distressfully--"you believed him?"
29439And-- and,said the brother- in- law,"what is your rule about plain almsgiving to the difficult sort?"
29439Anything turned up yet, Richling?
29439Are they coming this way?
29439Are you Mrs. John H----?
29439Are you Mrs. John Richling?
29439Are you, my dear boy? 29439 At last, what?"
29439Bring that little woman and her baby down here just as the hot season is beginning?
29439Bury me here in New Orleans, Doctor, will you?
29439Busy?
29439But do you know how slight the blame was that got him into trouble here?
29439But in the nixt life, Mr. Richlin'', how about that?
29439But suppose I ca n''t practice the trust I preach?
29439But what do you want to see me for? 29439 But what is the other?"
29439But when a man is only a little sick,--according to your judgment,--like that one in there now, he is treated here, eh?
29439But why not?
29439But you must admit you know a certain person, wherever he may be, or whatever he may be doing, named Raphael Ristofalo?
29439But your husband?
29439But, John, it seems such a pity not to have stayed with A, B,& Co.; does n''t it?
29439But, John,she said, still holding him,"_ is_ it misfortune?
29439But, John,she would say each time as they returned to the street and resumed their quest,"those things cost; you ca n''t afford them, can you?"
29439But,said Mary, straightening his cravat,"you intend to pay up, and he-- you do n''t think I''m uncharitable, do you?"
29439But_ where_ did she get through?
29439Buying goods for up- country?
29439Ca n''t you sing-- ever so softly-- just a verse-- of--''I''m a Pilgrim''?
29439Can he?
29439Can we get them at once?
29439Can you get me some sewing? 29439 Can you help liking him?"
29439Can you lend me dollar?
29439Carriage, sir, carriage?
29439D''I onderstaynd you to lafe at me, saw?
29439D''d you hear this little felleh sing,''Listen to the mockin''-bird''?
29439D''ye call yerself a cidizen-- with a cidizen''s rights an''djuties?
29439D''you keep books?
29439D''you know what them rails is put that way fur?
29439D''you see that pile of codfish and herring where that tall man is at work yonder with a marking- pot and brush? 29439 D''you want a felleh to wish he was a bad shot?"
29439Dawn''t I tell you no use look? 29439 Did God send ye?"
29439Did I not? 29439 Did I say anything that you thought was true?"
29439Did he say he would?
29439Did you ever go by any other name?
29439Did you ever regret taking my advice, Richling?
29439Did you ever sing-- Doctor?
29439Did you ever try to guess--"Guess what, Richling?"
29439Did you lose her-- here?
29439Did you not see me one evening, some time ago, in the omnibus?
29439Did you strike this officer?
29439Dis room? 29439 Discouraged?
29439Do I?
29439Do n''t I know that?
29439Do n''t I tell you?
29439Do n''t cases occur sometimes in an isolated way without-- anything further?
29439Do n''t you intend to see Richling?
29439Do n''t you know perfectly well that was n''t his principal errand inside our lines?
29439Do n''t you lift me?
29439Do n''t you recollect-- in the mission- school? 29439 Do n''t you see, Doctor, the delicacy of the position?"
29439Do n''t you see, Doctor? 29439 Do n''t you?"
29439Do you charge anything for the little girl?
29439Do you ever write better than this?
29439Do you hear anything?
29439Do you know his name?
29439Do you know what I''m in here for, Ristofalo?
29439Do you know when he will be back?
29439Do you let this window stand wide this way when you are at work here, all day?
29439Do you live there?
29439Do you remember the one named Laura?--the dark, flashing one?
29439Do you see that bakery,--the''Star Bakery''? 29439 Do you still think we may have war?"
29439Do you think it is here?
29439Do you think she has already started?
29439Do you think so?
29439Do you think the one who was killed was the thief?
29439Do you think you learn anything by it?
29439Do you think you should?
29439Do you think,asked Richling, persuasively, crouching down upon one of his heels,"that I could sit in that thing without turning it over?"
29439Do you wish to see me?
29439Do you, Doctor?
29439Do your relatives know of your present condition?
29439Do? 29439 Doctor"--"What, Richling?"
29439Doctor, is n''t this your carriage coming?
29439Doctor, may I ask one favor?
29439Doctor, my wife is very ill; can I get you to come at once and see her?
29439Doctor, will you attend him?
29439Doctor, you know him?
29439Doctor, you''ll be a friend to Mary?
29439Doctor,asked Richling, suddenly,"do you know anything about the island of Cozumel?"
29439Doctor,he said hurriedly,"preparing to leave the office?
29439Doctor,he said, with excitement in his eye and sudden strength of voice,"what is that I hear?"
29439Doctor,he said, with great buoyancy,"how do you do?"
29439Doctor,he said,"can you put yourself in our place?
29439Doctor,said the invalid again,"will you read me just four verses in the Bible?"
29439Doctor,''the Lord will provide,''will he not?
29439Doctor-- do you remember how fond-- Mary was of singing-- all kinds of-- little old songs?
29439Does his wife know whether he has ever had such symptoms before-- in his life?
29439Does it?
29439Does n''t it?
29439Dr. Sevier said that, did he?
29439Eh?
29439For it''s good news, is n''t it?
29439For once? 29439 For what?
29439For what?
29439From whom does it come?
29439Get to your husband?
29439Good- evening, sir,he said, and silently thought,"Now, what can Smith Izard possibly want with me?"
29439Had n''t he heard about the trouble with their only son? 29439 Had n''t he heard?"
29439Has it been?
29439Has my wife been here?
29439Has n''t she said half- a- dozen times that it is n''t good for woman to be alone? 29439 Has the result been unsatisfactory?"
29439Have I ever met you before?
29439Have ye, now? 29439 Have you any capital?"
29439Have you anything to say against this witness''s statement?
29439Have you escaped?
29439Have you found work?
29439Have you heard from wife lately?
29439Have you heard from your wife lately?
29439Have you mailed the letter?
29439Have you no friends expecting to receive you there?
29439Have you seen Dr. Sevier to- day?
29439Have you sent your cousins away, Doctor?
29439Have you? 29439 He says you treated his wife one night when she was very ill"--"What name?"
29439He told you?
29439He''ll not consent to go away anywhere, I suppose, will he?
29439He_ did n''t_ take the only dollar of your own in the world?
29439Hello, Richling, this is pretty exciting, is n''t it?
29439Here?
29439Hire?
29439His first name is John, is n''t it?
29439Home?
29439How about number ten?
29439How are you, Richling? 29439 How are you?"
29439How can you be so sure you will make, and not lose?
29439How could I?
29439How did it happen?
29439How did you get it?
29439How do you feel this morning?
29439How do you know he is n''t drowned?
29439How do you know?
29439How far must we go before we can stop?
29439How is your husband, madam?
29439How long has he held this position?
29439How long have I slept?
29439How many barrel''like this?
29439How many people, do you suppose, go by this corner in a single hour?
29439How much?
29439How''s that?
29439How''s that?
29439How,--you do n''t know?
29439How?
29439How?
29439Howdy?
29439I do n''t know about that,he replied;"why do you do it?"
29439I do n''t see-- I do n''t see, Mary-- I--"Darling,"she replied, reaching and capturing both his hands,"who does see?
29439I dunno?--Some pless?--I nevva yeh dat nem biffo?
29439I say, Cap'', what d''you reckon he''d''a''said if he''d''a''seen the women''s department?
29439I say, who knows you?
29439I suppose that means a good deal; does it?
29439I suppose we can find out before we go, ca n''t we?
29439I suppose you know his pecuniary condition perfectly; has he money?
29439I suppose you think you''ve got the principles of life all right, do n''t you?
29439I suppose you''ve often heard that''you ca n''t make a silk purse of a sow''s ear,''have n''t you?
29439I suppose,she said, after a pause and a look out through the window,--"I suppose we ought soon to be reaching M---- station, now, should we not?"
29439I think Dr. Sevier calls you the Mamelukes, does n''t he? 29439 I?
29439If it''s the right kind?
29439If we was on the rise o''the hill yonder we could see the Confedick camps, could n''t we, Isaiah?
29439If you do n''t get work to- morrow, are you going to see him?
29439In New Orleans?
29439In his own room, upstairs?
29439In that pee- ogue?
29439Indeed?
29439Indeed?
29439Is Dr. Sevier in?
29439Is Lady Byron dead?
29439Is Mrs. Richling in?
29439Is he in the army?
29439Is n''t John Richling the only name you have ever gone by?
29439Is n''t it all the_ same_ thing, Doctor? 29439 Is n''t it everybody''s mission?"
29439Is n''t she an invalid?
29439Is that all you wanted to ask me?
29439Is that what Dr. Sevier said?
29439Is this your home?
29439Is this your name?
29439Is to- day the twenty- sixth?
29439Is you mek dat?
29439Is your wife''s mother comfortably situated?
29439Is_ nothing_ going to happen, Mary?
29439It owes me a chance to earn a living, does n''t it?
29439John,said Mary,"Dr. Sevier''s been talking to you?"
29439John,said the wife again, laying her hands on his shoulders as she tiptoed to kiss him,"what troubles you?"
29439Kate too short by itself?
29439Lately?
29439Madame Zénobie, I hope your furniture is selling well?
29439Mary, what are you saying?
29439Mary, what could I do? 29439 Mary?"
29439May I ask Mary?
29439May I say a few words to you privately?
29439Me? 29439 Mean?
29439Milwaukee?
29439Misses Itchlin-- Mistoo Itchlin,--he shook his head and smiled skeptically,--"you think you kin admiah Doctah Seveeah mo''than me?
29439Mississippi?
29439Mistoo Itchlin, in fact''ow you ligue my uniefawm? 29439 Mistoo Itchlin,"--the smile passed off,--"I dunno if you''ll billiv me, but at the same time I muz tell you the tooth?"
29439Mistoo Itchlin,resumed the other,"do you not fine me impooving in my p''onouncement of yo''lang- widge?
29439Mistoo Itchlin,''ow you enjoyin''yo''''ealth in that beaucheouz weatheh juz at the pwesent? 29439 Mizzez-- Reechin?"
29439Mr. Izard, who is this young man? 29439 Mr. Richling, what is the matter with you?"
29439Mr. Richling, will you please send me through the mail, or bring me, your note for fifty dollars,--at your leisure, you know,--payable on demand?
29439Mr. Ristofalo, we''re a- goin to the pinitintiary, ai nt we?
29439Mrs. H----, did you notice just a faint smell of-- garlic-- about this--?
29439Mrs. Richling, is your father a man of fortune?
29439Munse?
29439Munse?
29439Must I?
29439My dear madam,exclaimed the physician, in a low voice,"what brought you here?"
29439My friend,he began,"suppose, now, I should say that you are pretty nearly correct in everything you''ve said?"
29439My opinion?
29439Narcisse''s aunt?
29439No, no, John,said the wife, quickly,"do n''t you know what we said?"
29439No,said John, generously,"oh, no; we can trust each other that far, eh?"
29439No?
29439No?
29439Not come?
29439Not gone to-- back-- up the river?
29439Not the little preacher that lisps?
29439Not your bed?
29439Now, is n''t that a shame?
29439Now, madam, you know what I asked you, do n''t you?
29439Now, suppose I was to give you those books, all in confusion as they are, what would you do first of all?
29439OH, WHERE IS MY LOVE?
29439Of what?
29439Oh, do n''t you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?
29439Oh, yes?
29439On borrowed money?
29439Out taking the air?
29439Owe? 29439 Pehchance I''ll meet you this evening, Mistoo Itchlin?
29439Poisons and all, I suppose, eh?
29439Pretty? 29439 Put coppit?
29439Reckon I look mighty like a citizen jess about now, do n''t I?
29439Return calls?
29439Richling, do you think it''s your mission to be a philanthropist?
29439Richling, my friend,--the Doctor had never used that term before,--"what does your Italian money- maker say to the idea?"
29439Richling, why do n''t you send for your wife?
29439Richling,--the Doctor suddenly faced around and fixed a kindly severe glance on him,--"why did n''t you bring letters?"
29439Richling,he said,"what brings you to New Orleans, any way?"
29439Richling,said Dr. Sevier, slowly picking up his paper- folder and shaking it argumentatively,"where are the letters I advised you to send for?"
29439Sam?
29439See any troops along the way you come?
29439See dat win''?
29439See that?
29439See? 29439 Shall I see you at my office to- morrow?
29439She ask you? 29439 Sir?"
29439Sir?
29439South is out that way, is n''t it?
29439Still I''m not sure what it means,said Mary;"has there been fighting here?"
29439Sweet Alice, whose hair was so brown?
29439That''s taken from Romans, ai nt it?
29439The poor-- mustn''t be ashamed of the poor, must they?
29439The woods seem to be on fire just over there in three or four places, are they not?
29439Then why are you here? 29439 Then why does he come to see me about him?"
29439Then why should n''t he tell her so?
29439Then will you explain how it is that you go by one name in one part of the country, and by another in another part?
29439Then you think you know the secret of her illness, do you?
29439There? 29439 This spoils some of your arrangements, does n''t it?"
29439Through the lines?
29439Tired?
29439To whom do you refer?
29439Toctor, vot you dtink? 29439 Too hard?
29439Um- hmm; what did you defend them for?
29439Uncle,said the spy,"I do n''t reckon the boss will mind our sort o''ridin''straight thoo his grove, will he?"
29439W''y I do n''t hass''i m now? 29439 WHO GOES THERE?"
29439Was n''t he sent down by Recorder Munroe, last summer, for assault, etc.?
29439Was n''t it kind?
29439Was n''t it wonderful? 29439 Was there nobody else who had moved into any of these houses about here lately?"
29439We could n''t make that proposition, could we, Doctor?
29439Well and suppose you were? 29439 Well, Doctor?"
29439Well, Mistoo Itchlin,''ow you enjoyin''that watah? 29439 Well, Reisen, is that you?"
29439Well, in the name of common- sense, then, when is she going?
29439Well, madam, of course; but will you do what I say?
29439Well, never mind, Mrs. Richling,said Mrs. Thornton; then turned to her husband, and asked,"May I tell her?"
29439Well, now, Mr. Narcisse, ye''r about right? 29439 Well, number seven?"
29439Well, sir, why do n''t you tell it?
29439Well, then, Richling, what is the matter?
29439Well, thin, what rights has some to be out an''some to be in?
29439Well, wait till you get your errand, ca n''t you? 29439 Well, what is it, Sister?"
29439Well, why do n''t you bring him in?
29439Well, why do n''t you do it, dear? 29439 Well, why not do it?
29439Well, why should n''t mercy be offered here?
29439Well,asked the rector, pleasantly,"what''s the matter with that?"
29439Well? 29439 Well?"
29439Well?
29439Well?
29439Well?
29439Well?
29439Were you not comfortable?
29439Were you not counting on an early visit to Milwaukee?
29439What amuses you, madam?
29439What are you doing now, Richling? 29439 What brings_ you_ here?"
29439What business is he in?
29439What command do you belong to?
29439What did she say?
29439What did you say your name was?
29439What did your sister say to that?
29439What do you mean by that?
29439What do you mean, Doctor?
29439What do you mean?
29439What do you propose?
29439What do you think of that, Sam?
29439What do you want with him?
29439What has it got down to, now?
29439What have you got in number nine?
29439What is it else?
29439What is it for?
29439What is it for?
29439What is it?
29439What is your command?
29439What is your friend''s name?
29439What is your name?
29439What kept them back so long?
29439What might one call your name?
29439What name do you know him by?
29439What name?
29439What passes it?
29439What proportion of those who are taken sick of it die?
29439What then?
29439What time will that be?
29439What was it?
29439What was their reason, Richling?
29439What you doin''?
29439What you reckon makes her look so wore out?
29439What you think?
29439What''s that?
29439What''s that?
29439What''s the matter with my girl?
29439What''s the matter?
29439What''s your trade?
29439What, in Tennessee? 29439 What, ma''m?"
29439What, my child?
29439What, sir?
29439What, sir?
29439What, sir?
29439What-- what do you think about it, Mary?
29439What?
29439What?
29439What?
29439What?
29439What?
29439When did he die?
29439When did you get the world in your debt?
29439Where am I? 29439 Where are they from?"
29439Where did you come from, Richling,--when you came to New Orleans,--you and your wife? 29439 Where did you get them?"
29439Where does he go?
29439Where goin''to meet to- morrow morning?
29439Where have they gone?
29439Where have you been all day?
29439Where is Reisen?
29439Where is he?
29439Where is he?
29439Where''s Alice?
29439Where''s my little girl?
29439Whereabouts is she now?
29439Who are these people?
29439Who is her physician?
29439Who is your friend?
29439Who lives here?
29439Who lives there?
29439Who put it there?
29439Who told you that?
29439Who wants to see,he would demand,"men--_and women_--increasing the risks of this uncertain life?"
29439Who was he?
29439Why are you in prison?
29439Why ca n''t I do something to help you?
29439Why did n''t you bring him to us?
29439Why did n''t you say so?
29439Why did you go to sleep under those steps?
29439Why do n''t dress like a book- keeper?
29439Why do you ask me that?
29439Why do you smile at nothing?
29439Why is n''t it enough to be felt?
29439Why not?
29439Why not?
29439Why should n''t I send for her?
29439Why should n''t I? 29439 Why you do n''t advertise in papers?"
29439Why, Doctor, why? 29439 Why, Richling, ca n''t I nurse you well enough?"
29439Why, Richling?
29439Why, do n''t you like him?
29439Why, do n''t you recollect? 29439 Why, do n''t you see?"
29439Why, how did you get out?
29439Why, how is that?
29439Why, is he your friend too?
29439Why, no,replied the other, with returning pleasure;"was I in the same omnibus?"
29439Why, what did he do?
29439Why, what did you say?
29439Why, what''s the window open for? 29439 Why, when did that happen?"
29439Why?
29439Why?
29439Will I be out of danger if I go home?
29439Will nobody come and find us?
29439Will you come at once and see him?
29439Will you walk in?
29439Will you walk in?
29439Will you?
29439Without antecedents?
29439Wo nt ye walk in? 29439 Worse than this?"
29439Worse? 29439 Would n''t it have been just as fair to let me be generous, madam?"
29439Would_ you_ do ut?
29439Wounded?
29439Yass?
29439Ye rowdy, air ye go- un to fight the gintleman?
29439Yentlemen, you vill ugscooce me?
29439Yes, I know; but why do n''t you think up something,--some new enterprise or something,--and get somebody with capital to go in with you?
29439Yes, I suppose so; and then you''ll tell me how you invested it, will you?
29439Yes,responded Mary, eagerly;"why, it''s-- hasn''t it-- changed?"
29439Yes? 29439 Yes?
29439Yes? 29439 Yes?
29439Yes?
29439Yes?
29439Yes?
29439Yes?
29439Yes?
29439Yes?
29439Yes?
29439Yes?
29439Yesseh?
29439You are not a resident of the city?
29439You are sure she picked the handsaw up by the handle, are you?
29439You ca n''t think that only those died who were to blame?
29439You did n''t do this on the steam- boat landing, did you, Richling?
29439You did n''t tell him to come and see me?
29439You do n''t dislike it, do you?
29439You do n''t find as many vacancies as you expected to see, I suppose-- h- m- m?
29439You do n''t remember me?
29439You do n''t see it?
29439You do n''t think?
29439You do n''t want wait till de doctah comin''?
29439You have? 29439 You like the tas''e of that, Mistoo Itchlin?"
29439You like to part with your hard earnings, do you, Richling?
29439You lookin''for book- keeper''s place?
29439You ought to have brought that letter with you, ma''am,he said, looking up again;"do n''t you see how valuable it would be to you?"
29439You see sail yondeh?
29439You wonder what?
29439You''ll forbid it, will you not, Doctor? 29439 You''ll save me?"
29439You''ll tell me your good news if it''s only that I may tell her, will you not?
29439You''re not discouraged, are you?
29439_ Ici? 29439 _ Qui reste ici?_"he asked.
29439''Ave you evva yeah that maxim,''A fool faw luck''?
29439''Cause-- you know why?
29439''In the mids''of life''--you know where we ah, Mistoo Itchlin, I su- pose?"
29439''Ow Peter goin''come when win''dead ahead?
29439''Ow did you think that that''s my invention, Mistoo Itchlin?
29439''Ow you like that invention, eh?"
29439''Tis accawding to the povvub,--what is that povvub, now, ag''in?"
29439***"What has it got down to now?"
29439***"What is the day of the month?"
29439--he lifted his eyes to the sky,--"what is it?"
29439--he spoke in French--"is it you who lives here?
29439324 XLIV.--What would you Do?
29439366 LI.--Blue Bonnets over the Border 372 LII.--A Pass through the Lines 378 LIII.--Try Again 384 LIV.--"Who Goes There?"
29439After a silence he called out:--"Did he say he would come back?"
29439After you get through the_ other_ lines, what are you going to do_ then_?
29439Ah, ye think so?
29439And can it be that my_ physical_ manhood is going to fail me at such a time as this?"
29439And have they a dog, that will presently hurl himself down this alley at one''s legs?
29439And so she sent her love to me, did she, now?
29439And the Doctor responded:--"How shall I do that, Richling?"
29439And the man?
29439And then, somewhat more gravely and persuasively:"Do n''t you suppose they like it?
29439And this rosiness, so like redundant vigor, was it not the flush of her hot task?
29439And were there any such?
29439And what do I know how to do?
29439And what was her song?
29439And when she asked Dr. Sevier if he thought she had done wrong, he asked:--"You knew it was going to take place, and kept silence?"
29439And whose fault is it?
29439And why should it be?
29439And yet I''m sure you''re right in seeking our food and raiment?"
29439And yet is n''t it true?"
29439And yet, was she not right, according to all his preaching?
29439Anything yet?"
29439Are they not his?
29439Are they not?"
29439Are you Mrs. John H----?"
29439Are you going to let Mary die just because she''s brave enough to do it?"
29439As he finished using it he turned to the keeper and asked, with severe face:--"What do you do with sick prisoners here, anyway?"
29439As he sat at home that evening he remarked:--"Very pretty little woman that, my dear, that lives in the little house at the corner; who is she?"
29439As it died away and ceased, Richling said:--"May I write to Mary?"
29439As to what constitutes ignominy he had a very young man''s-- and, shall we add?
29439At length he opened his lips to speak, hesitated an instant, and then asked:--"Mrs. Richling, tell me plainly, has your husband gone wrong?"
29439At once?
29439At the door the Doctor asked:--"If the fever should break out this summer, Richling, will you go away?"
29439At the end the rector asked:--"Did n''t you once meet Dr. Sevier''s two nieces-- at his house?"
29439But accawding to what fawmule, Mistoo Itchlin?
29439But after a long time--"John,"said one voice in the darkness,"do you remember what Dr. Sevier told us?"
29439But as he put one foot on the stair he paused, and, bending a severe gaze upon her, asked:--"Why do you smile?"
29439But at the same time he asked:--"Not subject to epilepsy, eh?"
29439But do n''t you feel it?
29439But he''s bound to be tleared if he''s tried, and do n''t ye see-- I-- I do n''t want um to be a captain, anyhow, do n''t ye see?"
29439But now, where have you moved, Mrs. Richling?
29439But the visitor did not resume, and the Doctor presently asked:--"Do you wish me to see your wife?"
29439But was Mrs. Riley as blind as she seemed?
29439But was n''t it?
29439But we''d never do anything that''s right if we waited for an unmixed motive, would we?"
29439But what can I do here?
29439But what was the result?
29439But would she?
29439But you could look after those things"--"I?"
29439But you kin paz yondeh--''tiz juz ad the cawneh?
29439But"--as if the thought was a sudden one--"I''ll be dead by thin, willn''t I?
29439But, Mistoo Itchlin, I trus''''tis not you''ave allowed somebody to swin''le you?--confiding them too indiscweetly, in fact?"
29439But, Mistoo Itchlin, when shall the happy o''casion take effect?"
29439By and by she asked:--"And so you saw no work, anywhere?"
29439By munse?
29439By- the- by, I suppose you know that Raphael Ristofalo went to prison last night again?"
29439By- the- by, what do you think of my letting her come out here now and begin life over again?
29439Ca n''t see schooner hundred yard''off''dout glass?"
29439Ca n''t we treat him better at home?"
29439Can that be poss''ble that you din notiz that I was speaking in my i''ony about that bwead?
29439Carriage, sir?"
29439Comes as nigh coonin''it as I reckon you ever''lowed you''d like to do, do n''t it?"
29439Congestion?
29439Could he have misunderstood?
29439Could n''t he take care of them without us if he wished?
29439Could she trust him?
29439D''d you ever hear that piece?"
29439D''ye mind?"
29439Dawn''t I tell you is no use look?"
29439Did I seem a little preoccupied the last time you called?"
29439Did Mr. Richling owe the Doctor something?
29439Did any one ever occupy a responsible position without those conditions?"
29439Did he talk of small achievements, small gains, and small truths, as though they were great?
29439Did it?
29439Did n''t I try that, and was refused?"
29439Did n''t the preacher say, when we were married,''Let no man put asunder''?"
29439Did n''t you ever notice that a deaf man always seems like a sort o''stranger?
29439Did n''t you hear me promise Mr. Thornton?
29439Did n''t you?
29439Did not the Doctor think so?
29439Did she not certainly know, through Mrs. Riley, that he must have seen her so?
29439Did she suspect him of having something to do with this dreadful affair?
29439Did they know where Monsieu''Itchlin lived?
29439Did you ever hear that story about George Washington?"
29439Did you evva yeh those line''of Lawd By''on,--''Theh was a soun''of wibalwy by night, W''en--''Ush-''ark!--A deep saun''stwike''--?
29439Did you know that I am something of a chimist?
29439Did you notice what I wrote you in my letter?
29439Did you, John?"
29439Do as they did?
29439Do n''t I takin''koot care you?"
29439Do n''t you know you ought not to require such a thing as that from a person like Mr. Richling?
29439Do n''t you recollect you married me and Larry?
29439Do n''t you remember me?
29439Do n''t you remember the day we took that walk, and you said that after all it never is we who provide?"
29439Do n''t you remember?"
29439Do n''t you see it would be just as delicate a matter for you to refuse?"
29439Do n''t you see that that''but still''is the refusal of Christians to practise Christianity?"
29439Do n''t you see the windows full of women and children?"
29439Do n''t you see?"
29439Do n''t you think it will interfere?"
29439Do n''t you think it''s possible?
29439Do n''t you think you may?"
29439Do you know that Benjamin Fwanklin''ote a v''ey fine chi''og''aphy, in fact?
29439Do you really know John, sir?"
29439Do you smoke, Mistoo Itchlin?"
29439Do you take my meaning?"
29439Do you think he did n''t get it?
29439Do you think they''ll give her a pass to come in?"
29439Doctor?"
29439Does n''t it seem to you it''s high time, if we''re ever going to do it at all?"
29439Doo not I feel those things, sur?"
29439Dr. Sevier''s eyes-- what was the matter?
29439Everywhere?
29439Fo w''at you come in yeh?"
29439For wherefore shouldest thou?"
29439H----?"
29439Had Narcisse noticed?
29439Had Ristofalo recognized him with his back turned, or had he seen him earlier and followed him?
29439Had he learned to carp at the rich, and to make honesty the excuse for all penury?
29439Had he not just seen this one in sabots?
29439Had he these various poverty- marks?
29439Had not a towel been but now unbound from the hair shining here under his glance in luxuriant brown coils?
29439Had she not just laid off, in hot haste, a suds- bespattered apron and the garments of toil beneath it?
29439Has a friend no rights?
29439Has she gone?"
29439Has your husband never told you what good friends we were?"
29439Have some of us known Want?
29439Have you been there already?"
29439Have you let your toil become a task once more?"
29439He added something, a moment later, about retiring for the night, and his host had just said,"Eh?"
29439He ceased, and then added, with sudden kindness of tone,"I want you to do something for me, will you?"
29439He could not bend his neck to the conqueror''s yoke; he went in search of liberty to Brazil-- or was it Honduras?
29439He drew a chair toward the fireplace, and asked, with his face toward the dying fire:--"How are you feeling to- day, madam,--stronger?"
29439He fixed his eyes on the mantel and asked abstractedly,"How do you bear the separation?"
29439He murmured to his fellow,"How do you know she is n''t a spy?"
29439He ride out for pleasure?"
29439He says"--"Does he keep a large bakery?"
29439He?
29439Hear that rooster crowin''?
29439Here, is this the wardrobe key?
29439His tastes,--were they rising or sinking?
29439His voice dropped, and he asked, with subdued haste:--"Ith it pothible you''re in mourning for him?"
29439Home to Milwaukee?"
29439Home?
29439Hospital?
29439How are you going to meet them?"
29439How could he guess?
29439How could he tell?
29439How did others fare?
29439How far is it, and what''s the trouble?"
29439How had Mary got here?
29439How he know yo''name?"
29439How is Richling?"
29439How long have you been out of employment?"
29439How wisely has God-- what am I saying?
29439How''s Reisen?"
29439How_ can_ ye come offerin''uz merrcy?
29439Husband has it now at home and will give it to you,--at the breakfast- table to- morrow morning; ca n''t you, dear?"
29439I assu''you, Mistoo Itchlin, I pay you eve''y cent in the worl''on the laz of that month?
29439I came to see Mr. Richling, Madame Zénobie; is he in?
29439I do n''t think we shall, but suppose we should?
29439I do n''t think you fine that stweet pwetty dusty to- day, Mistoo Itchlin?"
29439I dunno if you''ll billieve me, but I feel almost I could pahtake anotheh cup--?
29439I reckon you never hear''tell o''him, did you?"
29439If he do n''t gittin''better, how come he''ss every day a little more kvieter, and sit''still and do n''t say nutting to nobody?"
29439If the savage can stand you, why ca n''t you stand the savage?"
29439In fact, why should I tell a lie about such a thing like_ that_?
29439In your opinion is there going to be war?"
29439Is he as great a partisan of the church as he used to be?"
29439Is he away up on Benjamin street, close to the river, among the cotton- presses?"
29439Is it my fault-- or is it yours?"
29439Is it not so?"
29439Is it not surely best?
29439Is it to migs the two style''that you advise?"
29439Is it understood?"
29439Is n''t it all a battle- field?"
29439Is n''t my meaning plain enough?
29439Is n''t that something?"
29439Is that anny protection?
29439Is that nod the case, Mistoo Itchlin?"
29439Is there any harm in it?
29439It must be, is n''t it?"
29439It will come to anybody else the same way; and why should it come any other way?"
29439It will not be taking too much liberty, will it?
29439It''s Kate Ristofalo, is it?
29439It''s simply, can you spare him?"
29439John go wrong?"
29439Just outside the door he asked the nurse:--"Has n''t her husband been here?"
29439Kate looked at the little rector out of the corners of her roguish Irish eyes, a killing look, and said:--"Ye''re sure the both o''thim bees well?"
29439Mary flushed, and, with a smile of resentful apology, was about to reply, when he continued:--"What you want glass for?
29439Mary seized her frantically by the shoulders, crying with high- pitched voice:--"Where is he?--where is he?"
29439Mary was still eating, when suddenly she rose up, saying:--"Why, where is Mr.----, your brother?"
29439Me leave the results of four years''struggle to go holidaying?
29439Me?
29439Might not Richling be a man who had fled from something?
29439Milwaukee?"
29439Misses Wiley, at what univussity did you gwaduate?"
29439Mistoo Itchlin, will you''ave that kin''ness to baw me two- an- a-''alf till the lass of that month?"
29439Mr. Narcisse,"--she pointed at herself,--"haven''t I been a wife?
29439Mr. Richlin'', where''s all thim flatterers that fawned around uz in the days of tytled prosperity?"
29439Mrs. Riley glided down across the door- step, and, with all the insinuation of her sex and nation, demanded:--"What''d he tell ye?
29439Must he yet slip down?
29439My dear, I wonder if they really did encounter the young man here?"
29439My husband go wrong?
29439My husband"--"Dass you''uzban''?"
29439No; now ye know ye wuddent,--wud ye?"
29439No?
29439No?
29439Now, have you ever learned the trick o''jess sort o''qui''lin''[2] up, cloze an''all, dry so, and puttin''half a night''s rest into an hour''s sleep?
29439Now, if my life should end here shortly, what would the whole thing mean?
29439Now, if you migs the two style''--well--''ow''s that, Mistoo Itchlin, if you migs them?
29439Now, where is your''must''and''will''?"
29439Now, ye''re not just a- makin''that up?
29439Now,_ do_ they?"
29439Now; you ready?"
29439Oh, yes?"
29439One of them stopped in the door with an air of mock bravado:--"What do we care for lofty motives or worthy objects?"
29439Or that he crossed the river for the third time last night, loaded down with musket- caps for the rebels?"
29439Or was it only vanity, or a mistake of inexperience?
29439Ovver I sayss to de Doctor,''Dte oneh dting-- vot Mr. Richlin''ko- in to tdo?''
29439Pehchance you heard my voice among that sea of head''?
29439Praying?
29439Preacher,"asked the young Irishman, bringing both legs to the front, and swinging them under the table,"d''ye vote?"
29439Presently he said:--"And Mr. Richling-- I suppose he looks for work all the time?"
29439Pretty drunk, eh?"
29439Reckon you put her up to it, eh?"
29439Reisen,''sayss he to me,''fot iss udt fot you kot?''
29439Remember?
29439Richlin''?"
29439Richlin''?"
29439Richling answered in sympathetic spirit, and the first speaker responded with a question:--"Stranger in the city?"
29439Richling began to move away down the crowded market- house, but Narcisse said:--"Thass yo''di''ection?
29439Richling began to offer a cordial parting salutation, but Narcisse said:--"You goin''that way?
29439Richling bent forward with the frown of defective hearing, and the physician raised his voice:--"Or a cart- wheel-- or a coat?"
29439Richling?
29439Richling?"
29439Richling?"
29439Richling?"
29439Richling?"
29439Richling?"
29439Richling?"
29439Richmond?"
29439Ristofalo waited some time, and then asked:--"How?"
29439Ristofalo"--"What?"
29439SHALL SHE COME OR STAY?
29439See?
29439Sevier?"
29439Sevier?"
29439Sevier?"
29439Shall I tell you more?"
29439Shall we condemn the fault?
29439Shall we follow?
29439She betrayed a look of dismay, glanced at their visitor, tried to say"Have you?"
29439She leaned forward interrogatively:"You want somesin tchip?"
29439Should not he decide?
29439Simply for once?"
29439So early?
29439So, when at length one day Mrs. Richling said,"Madame Zénobie, do n''t you think I might sit up?"
29439Sort o''shows what we''re approachin''unto, as it were, eh?
29439Still acting deputy assistant city surveyor_ pro tem._?"
29439Still he said,"Come, do n''t you want this again?
29439Suppose we should have war?
29439Surely, with what you tell me you''ve saved, and with your place so secure to you, ca n''t we venture to begin again?
29439Sweet Alice, with hair so brown?"
29439That rather beats you, does n''t it?"
29439The Doctor looked straight at the mantel- piece as he asked:--"Where did you get that idea?"
29439The Doctor pointed to the document:--"Is that a subscription paper?"
29439The Doctor was silent a moment, and then asked:--"What''s the matter with him?"
29439The lady''s eyes were still on her paper, but she asked:--"Would you like me to go and see them?"
29439The merchant dropped his eyes again upon the letter, and in that attitude asked:--"What do you say, Sam?"
29439The preacher went on:--"Would you try to believe what I have to add to that?"
29439The rich_ think_ they see; but do they, John?
29439The sum- total, in fact-- I suppose he nevva mentioned you about that, eh?"
29439The sun- glass?
29439The tears were in her eyes again, but--"Doctor,"she answered, with her odd little argumentative smile,"how could we?
29439Then she attempted a rallying manner:"Do n''t my friends suit you?"
29439They''ve been ordinary worm fences, have n''t they?"
29439This brightness of eye, that seemed all exhilaration, was it not trepidation instead?
29439This is evidently his first offence, and"--"Do you know even that?"
29439This place?

29439Was he being lifted or pulled down?
29439Was he losing his discriminative sense of quantity, time, distance?
29439Was he not going to assent at all?
29439Was it drink, or gambling, or a confidence game?
29439Was it not cowardice to leave the decision to her?
29439Was it not?
29439Was n''t it?
29439Was pride under that cloak?
29439Was the end of her search somewhere underneath that fearful glory?
29439Was there anything surprising in the fact that eminent persons should call at her house?
29439Was this a proper farewell?
29439We may accompany togetheh-- if you''ll allow yo''''umble suvvant?"
29439We_ must_ take cheaper lodgings, must n''t we?"
29439Weeds?
29439Well, Misses Wiley, in fact, thass a_ ve''y_ fine gen''leman and lady-- that Mistoo and Misses Itchlin, in fact?"
29439Well, now, will I tell ye what I''d do afore and iver I''d kim back here ag''in,--if I was you now?
29439Well, you muz go?
29439Well?
29439Well?"
29439Were little negligences of dress and bearing and in- door attitude creeping into his habits?
29439Were not her skirts but just now hitched up with an under- tuck, and fastened with a string?
29439What I was going to say about this little girl here was this,--her name is Alice, is it?"
29439What am I?"
29439What are you smiling at?"
29439What boast is there for the civilization that refines away the unconscious heroism of the unfriended poor?
29439What can you do?"
29439What could I do?
29439What did he say?"
29439What good reason was there?
29439What has he done?"
29439What have you kept me all this time to tell me-- or ask me?"
29439What is it?"
29439What is this thing that puts me here on my back this way?"
29439What is yo''opinion consunning that, Mistoo Itchlin?"
29439What is your number?
29439What might be its unexpected results?
29439What ought to be done to such a man?"
29439What perversity moved the physician no one will ever know; but he sternly called:--"Narcisse?"
29439What sound was that?
29439What time would you have at your fireside, or even at your family table?
29439What want glass for?
29439What was that red- shirted scourge of tyrants that this man might not be?
29439What will he think of me?"
29439What''s become of them?"
29439What''s the reason ye make it so long atween yer visits, eh?
29439What''s your occupation?"
29439When the stranger had passed, Mary began again another song, alone:--"Oh, do n''t you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?"
29439Where are you from?"
29439Where are your old sentiments?
29439Where did they live now?
29439Where did you say you kept books at, last?"
29439Where does that thought carry you?"
29439Which was best, the capability or the incapability?
29439Which would she do?
29439Which would you conclude, Mistoo Itchlin?"
29439Who can tell what autumn will bring?"
29439Who ever knows what good- by means?
29439Who was John Richling?
29439Who will say it is not well to sail in an ocean of love?
29439Who''s your druggist?"
29439Who, besides Richling, might see that notice?
29439Why are you in this part of the prison?"
29439Why did n''t I tell you?"
29439Why did n''t ye wait to see the babe that''s unborn?"
29439Why do n''t you do that very thing?"
29439Why do you wish to go through?"
29439Why have n''t you been in the store to see us lately?
29439Why must his mind keep going back to that little cottage in St. Mary street?
29439Why not?"
29439Why should n''t such a prison tumble down upon the heads of thim as built it?
29439Why should she be made responsible for this mistake?
29439Why was n''t there here an opportunity to visit the hospital?
29439Why, do n''t you see it''s Narcisse,--my friend?"
29439Why, what are chills?
29439Why, when on one or two occasions he had betrayed a least little bit of kindly interest,--what?
29439Why-- why not?"
29439Why?
29439Will I tell ye?"
29439Will you please tell me what it really is?
29439Will you-- finish my mission?"
29439Would n''t it pay better?"
29439Would n''t it, nevertheless, rather help a well man or woman than a sick one?
29439Would n''t you rather die than beg?
29439Would not her utmost be to give good reasons in her gentle, inquiring way why he should not require her to leave him?
29439Would she cry and lament, and spurn the proposition, and fall upon him with a hundred kisses?
29439Would she go, or would she not?
29439Would they thank him for his solicitude?
29439Would you like to do it?"
29439Would you rather I''d shut it?"
29439Would you?"
29439Ye said in yer serrmon that as to Him"--he pointed through the broken ceiling--"we''re all criminals alike, did n''t ye?"

29439Yes, sir; I think I''ll come to the mission nex''Sunday-- and I''ll bring the baby, will I?
29439Yes; well, did n''t you strike the fact that suicide is an affront to civilization and humanity?"
29439Yes?
29439Yet it was a good speech,--why not?
29439Yo''wife know you here?"

29439and how, then, was anybody to come?
29439and''Does n''t it seem?''"
29439do you think it''s always going to be''shining''?"
29439echoed the man;"and you do n''t know perfectly well, I suppose, that he''s been shot at along this line times enough to have turned his hair white?
29439exclaimed the little preacher;"why must everybody say''but still''?
29439leaning against a bedpost and smiling with infantile diffidence,"you dunt want no ref''ence?"
29439not going to eat?"
29439replied the Doctor, unpleasantly,--"in the same wagon they use for a case of scarlet fever or small- pox, eh?"
29439responded the landlady;"well?"
29439said Richling, hollowing his hand at his ear,--"child of"--"P''ospe''ity?"
29439said the poor woman, drawing not the shadow of an inference;"how kin you?"
29439what is it?"
29439where are my senses gone?
29439which way did John go?"
