37888Where then was this wonderful governess to be found?
37888Who can have forgotten her interview with Thackeray, when she was"moved to speak to the giant of some of his shortcomings?"
37888Who then does not know the salient points of that strange and touching story which tells us how the author of"Jane Eyre"lived and died?
37888Whom am I to marry?
37888Why did she thus go back"against her conscience?"
37888Why not enlarge her views by a little well- chosen general reading?
37888Why should we be otherwise?
37888With a paragon of a husband and child, why that whining, craving note?
37888Would Wednesday suit you?
37888Would X---- and I ever suit?

37888_ When_ shall I see you again?
37888or has it the proper wholesome wormwood flavour?

43044And what have you been doing, being, or suffering in these long twelve days?
43044And will he not come with you and Emily to dine with us next week, on any day except Wednesday and Friday?
43044Any news of"Clerical Scenes"in its third edition?
43044Are they not idlers with us?
43044Are we not happy to have reached home on Wednesday before this real winter came?
43044Are you not looking anxiously for the news from America?
43044Are_ we_ to be blamed or you?
43044But if that were impossible, could you not stay all night?
43044By- the- bye, will you see that the readers have not allowed some error to creep into that solitary bit of pedantry?
43044Can anything be done in America for"Adam Bede?"
43044Can you believe that I have not had a headache since we set out?
43044Could you resolve some of our wonderings into cheering knowledge?
43044Do n''t think I mean to worry you with many such requests-- but will you copy for me the enclosed short note to Froude?
43044Do n''t you remember Bellagio?
43044Do you see how the publishing world is going mad on periodicals?

43044G. said,"Do you wish to see him?"
43044George Stephenson is one of my great heroes-- has he not a dear old face?
43044Have you not a husband who has seen it all, and can tell you much better?
43044Have you read the"Nibelungenlied"yet?
43044Have you read"Beata"yet-- the first novel written by his brother at Florence, who is our especial favorite?
43044He talked a good deal about the"Clerical Scenes"and George Eliot, and at last asked,"Well, am I to see George Eliot this time?"
43044How could any goodness become less precious to me unless my life had ceased to be a growth, and had become mere shrinking and degeneracy?
43044I am a very blessed woman, am I not, to have all this reason for being glad that I have lived?
43044I am wondering whether you could spare me,_ for a few weeks_, the Tempest music, and any other vocal music of that or of a kindred species?
43044I do wish much to see more of human life: how can one see enough in the short years one has to stay in the world?
43044I know you have good reasons for what you do, yet I can not help saying, Why do you stay at Florence, the city of draughts rather than of flowers?
43044I wonder if she would rather rest from her blessed labors, or live to go on working?
43044I wonder when men of that sort will take their place as heroes in our literature, instead of the inevitable"genius?"
43044I write my note of interrogation accordingly"?"

43044Mr. Lewes tells me the country air has always a magical effect on me, even in the first hour; but it is not the air alone, is it?
43044One sees them garnishing every other advertisement of trash: surely no being"above the rank of an idiot"can have his inclination coerced by them?
43044Or has its appearance been deferred?
43044Ought we not to be a great deal wiser and more efficient personages, or else to be ashamed of ourselves?
43044Perhaps, in the cooler part of the autumn, when your book is out of your hands, you will like to move from home a little and see your London friends?
43044Shall I ever be able to carry out my ideas?
43044Shall I ever be good for anything again?
43044Shall I ever write another book as true as"Adam Bede?"
43044She said to Mr. Lewes, when he was speaking of her husband,"Ja, er ist ein netter Mann, nicht wahr?
43044Surely I am not wrong in supposing him to be a clergyman?
43044The book would have been published at Christmas, or rather early in December, but that Bulwer''s"What will he do with it?"
43044The first time I saw her was at Rufa''s[32] wedding; and do n''t you remember the evening we spent at Mrs. Dobson''s?
43044Very sweet and noble of her, was it not?
43044What are you working at, I wonder?
43044When do you bring out your new poem?
43044Whereabouts are you in algebra?
43044Why not?
43044Why should we complain that our friends see a false image?
43044Will it be all in vain?
43044Will it ever be finished?
43044Will you give me leave?"
43044Will you give my thanks to Mr. Congreve for the"Synthèse"which I have brought with me and am reading?
43044Will you not write to the author of"Thorndale"and express your sympathy?
43044Will you write once more?"
43044Will you-- can you-- arrange to come to us on Saturday to lunch or dinner, and stay with us till Sunday evening?

42078And what do you hear of the Gripps, or of Fanny and her husband?
42078And what is to be fancied next?
42078And yet, what is there to be told?
42078Are not some of your large stock of white morning gowns just in a happy state for a flounce-- too short?
42078But what can we do?
42078Can it be that I have not given you the minutià ¦ of Edward''s plans?
42078Can not the Morrises quarrel and he reconcile them?
42078Could non- historical verisimilitude go farther or mean more?
42078Dare I say so?

42078Do you or he know anything about it?
42078Do you own them?
42078Does Martha never hear from Mrs. Craven?
42078Does butcher''s meat keep up at the same price, and is not bread lower than 2_s._ 6_d._?
42078Does he leave Eltham at Easter?
42078Does she feel you to be a comfort to her, or is she too much overpowered for anything but solitude?

42078How does it appear?
42078How shall we account for it?
42078How will they be able to convey the furniture of the dressing- room so far in safety?
42078How will they manage as to inviting her when you are gone?
42078I am quite angry with myself for not writing closer; why is my alphabet so much more sprawly than yours?
42078I suppose you see the corpse?
42078I want to see dear Bell Griffin again; and had you not better give some hint of St. Julian''s early history in the beginning of the story?
42078Is Mrs. Craven never at home?
42078Is it written only to classical scholars?
42078Is not the cottage taken from Tollard Royal?
42078Is not this all that can have happened or been arranged?

42078Lizzy''s work is charmingly done; shall you put it to your chintz?
42078MY DEAR CASSANDRA,--Where shall I begin?
42078Now, what have we been doing since I wrote last?
42078Pery pell, or pare pey?
42078Pray, where did the boys sleep?
42078Shall I give her any of your baby clothes?
42078Shall not you put them into our own room?
42078She does not look as if anything she touched would ever be clean, but who knows?
42078Should you know from the atmosphere that you were within a dozen miles of London?
42078That she does not care for him, or only wishes to appear not to care for him?
42078Truth or falsehood?
42078Upon the whole, what is to be done?
42078Was Mr. Scudamore in the house at the time, was any application attempted, and is the seizure at all accounted for?
42078Weston?
42078What can you do with Egerton to increase the interest for him?

42078What sort of a kitchen garden is there?
42078What time in March may we expect your return in?
42078Where now thy more distinguished fame?
42078Which of all my important nothings shall I tell you first?
42078Who can keep pace with the fluctuations of your fancy, the capprizios of your taste, the contradictions of your feelings?
42078Who can understand a young lady?
42078Who has it next?
42078Who is Miss Maria Montresor going to marry, and what is to become of Miss Mulcaster?
42078Why did not J. D. make his proposals to you?
42078Why did you dance four dances with so stupid a man?
42078Why not rather dance two of them with some elegant brother officer who was struck with your appearance as soon as you entered the room?
42078Why should you be living in dread of his marrying somebody else?
42078Will not that do?
42078Will not that do?
42078You did not choose to have him yourself, why not allow him to take comfort where he can?
42078You have never mentioned Harry; how is he?
42078and if they invite, how will they continue to entertain her?
42078and where will he live?
42078what is to become of me?

43045And how can the life of nations be understood without the inward light of poetry-- that is, of emotion blending with thought?
43045And who that has any spirit of justice can help sympathizing with them in their grand repulse of the French project to invade and divide them?

43045Are you astonished to see our whereabouts?
43045Are you not disturbed by yesterday''s Indian news?
43045Are you not happy in the long- wished- for sunshine?
43045Are you not making a transient confusion of intuitions with innate ideas?
43045As I shall not see these paged sheets again, will you charitably assure me that the alterations are safely made?
43045At last came,"And who made you?"
43045But can anything be more uncertain than the reception of a book by the public?
43045But may I not beg to have a copy of my own?
43045But under the heart- stroke, is there anything better than to grieve?
43045But what are the facts in relation to this matter?
43045But what sort of data can one safely go upon with regard to the success of editions?
43045But who has not had too much moisture in this calamitously wet, cold summer?
43045Chiefly because I want you to be quite clear that if I do not write to say,"When can you come to me?"
43045Coming to modern tragedies, what is it that makes Othello a great tragic subject?
43045DEAR FRIENDS,--Will you come to see me some day?
43045Did I tell you that in the last two years he has been mastering the principles of mathematics?
43045Do n''t you agree with me that much superfluous stuff is written on all sides about purpose in art?
43045Do n''t you see the process already beginning?
43045Do n''t you think that Bernal Osborne has seen more of the Grandcourt and Lush life than that critic has seen?
43045Do n''t you think that my artistic deference and pliability deserve that it should also be better in consequence?
43045Do you know that pretty story about Bishop Thirlwall?
43045Do you think there are persons who admire Russia''s"mission"in Asia as they did the mission in Europe?
43045Does not this Zulu war seem to you a horribly bad business?
43045First, was there not some village near Stonehenge where you stayed the night, nearer to Stonehenge than Amesbury?
43045Have the great events of these months interfered with your freedom of spirit in writing?
43045How about Madame Mohl and her husband?
43045How could you repeat deliberately that bad dream of your having made yourself"objectionable?"
43045I have a cousinship with him in that taste-- but how to find space in one''s life for all the subjects that solicit one?
43045I think it is at the end of June that you are to come home?
43045I wonder if you all remember an old governess of mine who used to visit me at Foleshill-- a Miss Lewis?
43045I wonder if you went to the French plays to see the supreme Got?
43045I wonder whether you will soon want to come to town, and will send me word that you will come and take shelter with us for the night?
43045If no parents had ever cared for their children, how could parental affection have been reckoned among the elements of life?
43045Is Guinivere''s conduct the type of duty?
43045Is it not wonderful that the world can absorb so much"Middlemarch"at a guinea the copy?
43045Is not that being a sublime husband?
43045Is there any one who does not need patience?
43045Is there anything that cheers and strengthens more than the sense of another''s worth and tenderness?
43045It is ravishingly beautiful; is it in its higher part thoroughly unobjectionable as a site for a dwelling?
43045It will not be so any more, I hope, will it?
43045Let that be soon-- will you not?
43045May I add my kind remembrances to your daughter to the high regard which I offer to your husband?
43045May we then be with you on Tuesday somewhere about twelve, and return home on Wednesday by afternoon daylight?
43045No wonder there comes a season when we cease to look round and say,"How shall I enjoy?"
43045Now, what is the fact about our individual lots?
43045On the other hand,_ could the thing be kept private when it had once been in the printing- office_?
43045Only the day before your letter came to me I had been saying,"I wonder how our dear Mrs. William Smith is?"

43045Secondly, do you know anything specific about Holmwood_ Common_ as a place of residence?
43045Shall you mind the trouble of writing me a few words of news about you and yours?
43045That lodging would suit you, would n''t it?
43045The other,"Oh, I understand her doing that, but why did you let her marry the other fellow, whom I can not bear?"

43045What is more murderous than stupidity?
43045What would your keen wit say to a young man who alleged the physical basis of nervous action as a reason why he could not possibly take that course?
43045When I was at Oxford, in May, two ladies came up to me after dinner: one said,"How could you let Dorothea marry_ that_ Casaubon?"
43045Who could take your place within me or make me amends for the loss of you?
43045Why did you write me such a brief letter, telling me nothing about your own life?
43045Why do I want to let you know this not agreeable news about myself?
43045Will you give Dr. Congreve my thanks for his pamphlet, which I read at Torquay with great interest?
43045Will you not indulge me by writing more to me than you expect me to write to you?
43045Will you think over the whole question?
43045You remember Goethe''s contempt for the Revolution of''30 compared with the researches on the Vertebrate Structure of the Skull?
43045You remember Mrs. Blank of Coventry?

1700This fear struck home; again and again have I felt it for myself, and what is MY position to M----''s?
1700Well, we( the man, horse, car; and I) clambered up this street, and reached the church dedicated to St. Autest( who was he?
1700What callers do I see?
1700What can I say on that precious topic?
1700What have I done these last thirty years?
1700What induced you to say that you would have rather written"Pride and Prejudice,''or''Tom Jones,''than any of the''Waverley Novels''?

1700Where are my materials?
1700Where can we find justice, firmness, independence, earnestness, sincerity, fuller and purer than in him?
1700Where do you find the foreigner who is without some little drawback of this description?
1700Who COULD do this if he would?
1700Who HAS words at the right moment?
1700Who WOULD do it if he could?
1700Who is he that should say of an unknown woman:"She must be one who for some sufficient reason has long forfeited the society of her sex"?
1700Who was to give the bride away?
1700Why are we to shut up the book weeping?
1700Why ask for a judgment on her from such a world?"
1700Why should he lead so harassing a life?
1700Why should his mocking tongue so perversely deny the better feelings of his better moods?"
1700Why should we be otherwise?
1700Will it do her good?
1700Will you be kind enough to favour me with your judgment on this plan?"
1700With these fair- weather friends I can not bear to rank; and for her sin, is it not one of those of which God and not man must judge?
1700Would it not be better to defer it for a time?
1700Write and tell me about Mrs.----''s case; how long was she ill, and in what way?
1700Yet, what does it matter?
1700Yet, when the evil of competition passes a certain limit, must it not in time work its own cure?
1700You acknowledge that he offers you gems of pure truth; why do you keep perpetually scrutinising them for flaws?
1700You remember my speaking of a Miss K., a young authoress, who supported her mother by writing?
1700let Him do what seemeth to Him good"--and sometimes striven in vain, until the kindly Light returned?
1700she whispered forth,"I am not going to die, am I?
18645''Look at it, sir; is it cooked? 18645 ''This Sir Pitt Crawley''s?''
18645And what sort of a husband will this Pendennis be?
18645And what sort of a husband will this Pendennis be?
18645Come,--as what, sir?
18645Do you mean to say that I am to find two thousand pounds?
18645Had your dinner, I suppose?
18645Have you seen the abuse of my last number?
18645How should he who knows you, not respect you or your calling? 18645 How''s Monsieur Terrà ©, waiter, pray?"
18645I gave you three- halfpence; where''s the change, old Tinker?
18645I tell you I want you,he says;"I''m going back to the vuneral, will you come back?--yes or no?"
18645It is not too warm for you? 18645 Might I stay the sun above us, good Sir Bishop?"
18645Oh, oui, Monsieur,''s the waiter''s answer,"Quel vin Monsieur desire- t- il?"
18645Say, do you still cook Bouillabaisse?
18645So you do n''t mean to publish my work?
18645We have witnessed the dà © shabille of Major Pendennis,says our author;"will any one wish to be valet- de- chambre to our other hero, Costigan?
18645What am I to turn my hand to? 18645 What will Monsieur require for dinner?"
18645What would you do? 18645 Where is Sir Pitt Crawley?"
18645Where is my lovely one? 18645 Where''s the farden?"
18645Would you like to have lived with him?
18645After all, what does it matter?"
18645Am I a snob because I feel myself to be graced by his notice?
18645And, if so much be due to all subjects, is less due to a sovereign?
18645But the idea comes to the man that as he has the pen and ink, and time on his hand, why should he not write and make money?
18645But then how many great writers have there been from whose early lucubrations no future literary excellence could be prognosticated?
18645But who could doubt the_ Bouillabaisse_?
18645But who does not love that scene with which the novel commences?
18645But why should it not be he as well as another?
18645Can it be that he is not the father of his own child?

18645Does this profession not require skill, and perseverance, and bravery?
18645Even in poetry how often does this occur?
18645Fame!--except that of just the one or two,--what''s the use of it?"
18645Have they run backward over the passages, and then gone on, not quite sure what the author has meant?
18645How about Pendennis and his constancy?
18645How could such a girl as Amelia Osborne have got herself into such society as that in which we see her at Vauxhall?
18645How is a man to know that he is not the lucky one or the gifted one?
18645I wonder if the house still there is?
18645If gains be sordid and lucre filthy, where is the priest, the lawyer, the doctor, or the man of literature, who does not wish for dirty hands?
18645If there be no chance, of what use is his labour?
18645In what then was the difference?
18645Is Terrà © still alive and able?
18645Is it meat fit for a gentleman?''
18645Is it not common to allow them almost indiscriminately, so that young and old each chooses his own novel?
18645Is it not the doctrine on which our religion is founded,--though the sadness of it there is alleviated by the doubtful promise of a heaven?

18645Like a drop of beer?"
18645No one was of real service in the way of fighting except Ivanhoe,--and how could he take up that cause?

18645That is of course; but why should it have been so?
18645The American Government gives them their full share of its small patronage; and if Americans, why not Englishmen?"
18645The booksellers are courteous and write their cheques, but that is not half the whole?
18645The merchant who deals in teas and tallow, is he any better?
18645Then the satirist moralises;"Did you ever know a right- minded woman pardon another for being handsomer and more love- worthy than herself?"
18645There''s fountains there And crosses fair; There''s water- gods with urns; There''s organs three, To play, d''ye see?
18645There, will that zatisfy you?
18645Waltheof?"

18645What gentleman ever tells a lie?

18645Who has an idea of the outside look of Sophia Western, or Edith Bellenden, or even of Imogen, though Iachimo, who described her, was so good at words?
18645Whoever it is that speaks in his pages, does it not seem that such a person would certainly have used such words on such an occasion?
18645Why have n''t I a genius?
18645Why is he so shamefully ugly, so shy, so awkward?

25852Will you promise?"
25852Will you see to the invitations for Christmas Day, and write to LÃ ¦ titia?
25852Will you see to this branch of the tree among the other branches?
25852Will you take care of them as hostages until we effect an exchange?
25852Will you tell me what you think of this, addressed to Broadstairs?
25852Will you think of this, too, and suggest a Saturday for our dining together?
25852Will you think what little French piece it will be best to do, in order that I may have it ready for the bills?
25852Will you write to Ryland if you have not heard from him, and ask him what the Birmingham reading- nights are really to be?
25852Would n''t it be odd if we met upon the road between this and Boulogne to- morrow?
25852You and I in our old parts; Collins, Jeffrey; Charley, the Markis; Katey and Mary( or Georgina), the two ladies?
25852You are going to Bonchurch I suppose?
25852You know the wax brigands, and how they contemplate small oval miniatures?
25852You know, I suppose, that they elected me at the Athenà ¦ um?
25852You will not, I hope, allow that not- lucid interval of dissatisfaction with yourself( and me?
25852Your godson says is that your duty?
25852_ Has_ he a servant with a wooden leg?"
25852_ Is_ it a waistcoat?
25852_ Is_ there a deal board in Sherborne though?
25852_ You_ could do it in no time after sending in your pictures, and will you?
25852a fairy?
25852and did you tell him of another brass ventilator in the dining- room, opening into the dining- room flue?
25852game to do a Scotch housekeeper, in a supposed country- house, with Mary, Katey, Georgina, etc.?
25852of"Barnaby"and"The Curiosity Shop"heaped upon the table; and the flowers you introduced in the first subject of all withered and dead?
25852shall no scene display The tragic passion of the passing day?
25852will be there, perhaps, when this letter reaches you?
6457( 187) A little at a loss what to say, she gently stammered,M''ami,--le-- le premier Consul, ne vient- il pas?
6457( 208) You are sure how heartily M. d''Arblay would be ready to comply-but"what,"he demanded,"can be new to you of honours?"
6457? 6457 And about what time did You give to it?"
6457And can she have forgot all this?
6457And do you know this, little man?
6457And how does grandDapa do?
6457And how does your papa do?
6457And what did you write Of it here?
6457And what does his father take him to Ireland for?
6457And what is the nearest town to Tr � ves, whence I might go on in a chaise?
6457Are you married?
6457Are you much frightened cried he, smiling,as much frightened as you were before?"
6457Ay,quoth I,"has not he made you all ashamed of''em?
6457But he will bring out something else?
6457But here, I mean?
6457But they may be a little better, or a little worse,he answered,"but still, if they are not like somebody, how can they play their parts?"
6457But where,cried he,"is Hetty?
6457But why,I cried, recollecting myself,"should I speak French, when your royal highness knows English so well?"
6457But you do n''t imagine,answered she, laughing,"we came over from England to see you ci- devants?
6457C''est sans doute ce que vous souhaitez le plus, madame?
6457Come then,cried she,"come hither, my dear, and tell me all about her,--is she very good to you?--do you like her very much?"
6457Comment? 6457 Do you wish to have an excellent view of him, and to see him quite at your ease?"
6457Etes- vous mari � e?
6457Has he nothing in hand?
6457How do you do, Madame d''Arblay?
6457How far did You go?--Did You finish any part? 6457 How, how?"
6457Is the princess royal ready?
6457It Page 187 is a very capital work, sir,says H."I wonder how you find time?"
6457It is doubtless what you most wish for, madam?
6457My courage?
6457O � est votre mari?
6457Oui, mon ami,"And-- was it quite dark?
6457Pourquoi le quittez- vous? 6457 Qui est- il?"
6457Qui?
6457Then what are we come hither for?
6457Upon your honour?
6457Voulez- vous le voir parfaitement bien, et tout fait votre aise?
6457What do you think of me now?
6457What, William?
6457What-- what-- progress have you made?
6457Where is your husband?
6457Who is he?
6457Whom?
6457Why are you leaving him?
6457You know-- you recollect Madame d''Arblay, do n''t you, William?
6457is he here?
6457''-''''Is he agreeable to you, M. de Maubourg?''
6457( 182)"Have you seen the first Consul, madam?"
6457( 187)"What is the matter?"
6457( 188)"M''ami, the-- the first Consul, is he not coming?"
6457( 191) Could any inference be clearer?
6457( 218)"Who are you?
6457( 219)"You are English?"
6457( 221)"You do not think proper to follow me, then?"
6457( 229) Where did--- hear her a whole evening?
6457( 23) and is that all?--Does she forget that she has spoke to me?
6457( 24)"Perhaps I am indiscreet?"
6457( 25)"But, mademoiselle-- after all-- the king-- is he quite cured?"
6457( 251)"May I keep the book you sent me?"
6457( 312)"You give it up, do n''t you?"
6457( 36)"Does he know the name of M. Lafayette?"
6457( 47)"What day better than the present?"
6457( 80)"What will you, Mr. jenkinson?
6457( 82)"Pray, Mr. Gnawbone, how is the queen?"
6457( 85)"Is a woman in leading strings all her life in this country?
6457( 92)"Could not one make that little journey?"
6457.. Did the wood look very beautiful?
6457A mother whom she looks up to and doats upon-- a sister whom she so fondly loves-- how shall they be replaced?
6457A''n''t you?
6457After a little pause,"Mais est- ce qu''une femme est en tutelle pour la vie dans ce pays?"
6457Am I not doing what I most desire upon earth-- remaining by your side?
6457And can he want to keep them all?
6457And do you, then, measure my regard of heart by my remissness of hand?
6457And even if he endure the perpetual tutoring, will not she sicken of her victories ere he wearies of his defeats?
6457And how does horticulture thrive?
6457And how ventures M. de Chauvelin to transmit such a proposal?
6457And how was I to get thither?
6457And how?
6457And what had I done with this son?
6457And where?
6457And which of these characters is true?
6457And will Alexander be fit or willing to live under the eye, which he will regard as living under the subjection, of his wife''s relations?
6457Anything capable of understanding her?"
6457Are you-- are you--[looking with strong expression to discover her answer] writing anything?"
6457As to my engagements;--when should I finish, should I tell all that have been made or proposed, even in the short space of a single week?
6457At length he came directly up to me and Herschel, and the first question his majesty asked me was,--"How does Astronomy go on?"
6457Bonaparte interrupted him and said,''Is the young man agreeable to your daughter?''
6457Burney?"
6457But could any permanent amendment ensue, from working upon his errors only through his passions?
6457But though so sluggish to learn, I was always observant: do you remember Mr. Seaton''s denominating me, at fifteen,"the silent, observant Miss Fanny"?
6457But when, in the course of the day, something broke from me of my reverence at his heavenly resignation,"R � sign �?"
6457But who, also, in circumstances so awful, could require the exhortation of a priest or the example of a congregation, to stimulate devotion?
6457But why go back to my grief?
6457But why say damped, when it is only their unreasonable expectations that are disappointed?
6457But will four months fit him for beginning such a trial?
6457Can I still hope, my dear friend, for that patient partiality which will await my tardy answer ere it judges my irksome silence?
6457Can life, he often says, he more innocent than ours, or happiness more inoffensive?
6457Can there be injustice more flagrant?
6457Can you imagine anything more amiable than this pleasure in giving pleasure?
6457Could anything More sweetly mark the real kindness of the queen than this remembrance of my fondness for plays?
6457Did I breathe then?
6457Did I tell you that I sent a copy of those letters to M. de Lafayette?
6457Do n''t you think it very extraordinary that he should not himself desire to see Mrs. Damer?
6457Do you ever see any of the friends we used to live among?
6457Do you know anything of a certain young lady, who eludes all my inquiries, famous for having eight sisters, all of uncommon talents?
6457Do you not know him well, my Susan, by this opening rodomontade?
6457Do you suppose I do not often-- often-- often think who would like, and be fittest to be the bearer to you of these honours?
6457Had you my letter from Tr � ves?
6457Has M. d''Arblay ever been at Toulon?
6457Has he any particular name for you?"
6457Have you ever seen him since this fatality in his family?
6457He laughed and inquired who corrected my proofs?
6457He listened with much interest and pleasure, and said,"Mais, ne pourroit- on pas faire ce petit voyage- l?
6457He looked at me with sweetness inexpressible, and pathetically said,"Qui?"
6457He stopped, but I saw he meant"Who shall return this for you?"
6457He would not then come; for what, he said, was a beautiful city to him who could not look at it?
6457His restlessness still interrupting all attention, in defiance of my earnest whispers for quietness, she now said,"Perhaps he is hungry?"
6457How are your own politics upon that point?
6457How can she know what a child is thinking of before it can speak?"
6457How do you do, Ernest?"
6457How long,"he adds,"have you been at it?"
6457How should he?--especially a revolutionnaire?
6457How tall is he?--how old is he?--Is he fat or thin?--is he like you or M. d''Arblay?
6457However, be only grumbled out,"Qu''est- ce que c''est, donc?
6457I always answered,"What courage?
6457I asked him if he was not proud of being so kindly noticed by the adjutant- general of M. Lafayette?
6457I heard a gentleman''s voice from the next box call softly to Miss Barbara Planta,"Who is that lady?"
6457I hope I have gained a smile from you by my disclosure that I lost my journal time for my usual post- day by successive dissipation?
6457I hope your last club was more congenial?
6457I like well the idea of giving no name at all,-why should not I have my mystery as well as"Udolpho?
6457I preserved, therefore, my taciturnity, till, tired of her own, she gently repeated,"Puis- je le garder, cette copie que vous m''avez envoy �?"
6457I remember, in playing-at questions and commands, when I was thirteen, being asked when I intended to marry?
6457If he can say that, what must I be not to echo it?
6457In such a condition, who can wonder to hear that, a very few miles from Leipzic, he expired?
6457Is it not to be feared that as they, the passions, subside, the errors would all peep up again?
6457Is it that the regard she appeared to conceive for me in England was not only sincere but constant?
6457Is jenny capable of such a mounting journey?
6457Lafayette?
6457Lafayette?"
6457Madame de Stael whispered me,"How do you like him?"
6457Madame de la Ch � tre made a speech to the same effect,"Et quel jour, par exemple,"said M. de Narbonne,"feroit wieux qu''aujourd''hui?
6457Mais-- Vous vous rendez, n''est- ce- pas?
6457Mickleham, February 29, 1793 Have you not begun, dearest sir, to give me up as a lost sheep?
6457Mr Cantab?
6457Mr. Hay had lost his air of satisfaction and complacency, Mr. Tudor merely inquired whether he should come again?
6457Mr. P. And can you read your book, You Sweet little fellow?
6457Mr. P. And do you run about here in this pleasant place all day long?
6457Need I say more?")
6457Not very bad English that?
6457O my dearest friend,- Can the intelligence I have most desired come to me in a form that forbids my joy at it?
6457Oh, mon ami, ought we not rather to unite in comforting each other by sustaining ourselves?
6457On, therefore, I again forced myself, and with tolerable composure I said,"Je n''ai rien, monsieur, je crois, faire ici?
6457Or was it from a yet greater fear of malignant cruelty awakened by the very name of his successor, Savary, Duke of Rovigo?
6457Or wherefore his characters thus without fault?
6457Or will it only do to be printed at the expense of the acting ladies, and given gratis?
6457Our next and last interruption, I think, was from a very gentle tap at the door, and a"May I come in?"
6457Page 137 whose can withstand it?
6457Page 143"How is your little boy?"
6457Page 156"Pray,"cried she,"if it is not impertinent, may I ask to what religion you shall bring up your son?"
6457Particulars I have now no room for; but when in about half an hour, she said,"How long do you intend to stay here, Madame d''Arblay?"
6457Pitt?
6457Poor Mrs. Byron, who used to inhabit it, would have enjoyed her grandson''s(338) reputation, would not she?
6457Pray( smiling) what will he bring out next?"
6457Qu''en penses tu?"
6457Shall I apologise for this wordy explanation?
6457She asked me If you would accompany Mrs. Locke back into the country?
6457She asked me, archly, whether I was not fatigued by coming to the pump- room so early?
6457She then a little embarrassed me by an inquiry"why Major Phillips went to Ireland?"
6457Should that be proved, what compensation will be sufficient for repairing his confinement?
6457Should we not have done so mutually, if the contagious fever at Cambridge had carried him off?
6457Tell, tell me, my beloved ami, where, when you would have me remove?
6457The death of one of these so untimely departed favourites, how will Madame de Stael support?
6457The door now again opened, and another royal personage put in his head- and upon the princess saying,"How d''ye do, William?"
6457The greater part of our income[ Fanny''s pension] is anything but certain, yet what should we do if that were to fail us?
6457The king, then, looking at Herschel, as who would say,"How is it?"
6457The queen now imagined he did not know whom she meant, and said,"What does he call you?
6457Then, putting his arms a- kimbo, he said, in lower, but more, taunting accents,"Vous ne le jugez donc pas propos de me suivre?"
6457Tide?
6457Unhappy myself everywhere, why not leave unshackled his dawning life?
6457Voulez- vous bien pr � senter tous mes complimens au capitaine?
6457Vous le voyez bien?"
6457Was this from the real merit he had shown in his police capacity?
6457Well, but how does your Petit and pretty monsieur do?
6457What censure can ever so much hurt as such compensation can heal?
6457What do you think of it?"
6457What does he do in Ireland?
6457What is become of the campaign?
6457What is there there to merit her?
6457What kind of animals have you left her with?
6457What must I be, if not far more than Page 276 contented?
6457What must be the feelings at the queen''s house?
6457What news from Captain phillip?
6457What will you have conjectured?
6457What would she say should evidence be imperfect or wanting, and they should acquit her?
6457What?"
6457When the servants were gone, the duke asked me if anybody might write a letter to the king?
6457When will some occasion offer to bring me back- not my revenge, but my first and most coveted satisfaction?
6457When will the work come out for which she was, she says, chass � e de la France?
6457Who, however, could have expected such prompt admission?
6457Why did you not bring her with you?
6457Why does he not burn half?
6457Why, Fanny, what are you about, and where are you?
6457Why, then, make myself black bile to disturb me further?
6457Will it make you double your diligence for what is not at an end?
6457Will you take a little cell under our rustic roof, and fare as we fare?
6457Would I not have left even Kin to have followed you and your fate even to St. Domingo?
6457Would you have me make any inquiry if it be irreversible?''
6457Yet how can that be?
6457You ask who Page 452 named him preacher for the 5th Sunday in Lent: How could I omit telling you''twas the Bishop of London himself?
6457and for what ought we to prepare?
6457and in an evening?
6457and why do you think him SO very bad?
6457are both parties incapacitated from beginning?
6457connaisseZ- vous Sidney?
6457cried the king archly,"and what other characters have you seized?"
6457cried the king;"what is become of him?"
6457d''Arblay?"
6457d''Arblay?"
6457do you know Sidney?
6457everybody has left off even corsets!--Shift sleeves?
6457exclaimed I,"le premier Consul?"
6457exclaimed I,"the first Consul?"
6457exclaimed he,"vous � tes Anglaise?
6457hey, mon petit monsieur?
6457hey?
6457how will she be content to be a monitress, where she will find everything in useful life to teach, and nothing in return to learn?
6457it matters not; but who knew that circumstance when they played truant?
6457let us speak upon a grave subject: do I see you that morning?
6457no one wears more than one!-- Stays?
6457or is each waiting a happy moment to strike some definitive stroke?
6457or only form the skeleton?"
6457she cried:"I am vastly glad to see you again and how does your little boy do?"
6457tell to me, what will you?"
6457that she has heard me too?"
6457vous avez connu cette coquine de Brulard?
6457what does he go there for?"
6457what ought to be held more sacred where it is innocent-- what ought so little to risk any unnecessary or premature concussion?
6457what you say?"
6457when do you come spend a large week in that house?
6457when shall I get to Chelsea, and embrace again my beloved father?
6457who can rejoice?
6457who made it you, mamma, or little aunty?"
6457why, how can he so encumber himself?
6457with double the emphasis, repeated the young princess, now sitting down and taking him upon her knee;"and how does M. d''Arblay do?"
6457you are really, then, well?--really in Paris?-- really without hurt or injury?
6457you knew that infamous woman?"
25851''Are you in Mr. Sweedlepipes''s line, sir?'' 25851 ''Do you mean that_ he_ must be put in the ground before any good comes of_ him_?''
25851''Natural?'' 25851 ''Or,''pursued Poker, in a kind of despondent rapture,''or if I was to deny that I came to this town to see and hear you sir, what would it avail me?
25851''Possible?'' 25851 ''Wa''at mad''Thompson think it was goot?''
25851''What George, sir? 25851 ''What do you do there?''
25851''Which is that, ma''am?'' 25851 ''Will you show me a few of them?''
25851''Would you like to see your beeograffer''s moustache and wiskers, ma''am?'' 25851 ''You admire that house?''
25851''You know something about Falstaff, eh?'' 25851 ARE we to have that play???
25851ARE we to have that play??? 25851 ARE we to have that play???
25851As to your clambering,he replied,"do n''t I know what happened of old?
25851Did you ever see such preposterous exaggeration of small claims? 25851 Do n''t you think,"he wrote on the 24th of January,"this is a good name and quotation?
25851Do you know how many waistcoats I wear?
25851Do you remember my writing a letter to the prefet of police about that coachman? 25851 How as to a story in two periods-- with a lapse of time between, like a French Drama?
25851How can I tell you,he continues,"what has happened since that first day?
25851How do I know that I, a man, am to learn from insects-- unless it is to learn how little my littlenesses are? 25851 I have established myself, from the first, in the ladies''cabin-- you remember it?
25851I have often asked Americans in London which were the better railroads,--ours or theirs? 25851 I mentioned the dog on the first night here?
25851Is the young gentleman upstairs the son of the man that put together_ Dombey_?
25851Is there any Italian phrase for a lump of sugar? 25851 Mac and I think of going to Ireland for six weeks in the spring, and seeing whether anything is to be done there, in the way of a book?
25851Pray, Mr. Dickens, where was your son educated?
25851Supposing your_ Goldsmith_ made a general sensation, what should you think of doing a cheap edition of his works? 25851 Tell me what you think,"he had written just before his return,"of 36 and 37?
25851Tell me,he wrote from Yorkshire, where he had been meanwhile passing pleasant holiday with a friend,"what you think of Mrs. Gamp?
25851What do you think of this idea for it? 25851 What do you think,"he wrote after six weeks,"of_ this_ name for my story-- BURIED ALIVE?
25851What do you want?
25851What does it come to?
25851What on earth does it all mean?
25851What the devil does echo mean? 25851 Which Mrs. Harris''s own words to me, was these:''Sairey Gamp,''she says,''why not go to Margate?
25851Who can listen,exclaimed Thackeray,"to objections regarding such a book as this?
25851Why else,he said,"should I so obstinately have kept to that name when once it turned up?"
25851Will Lord John meet the Parliament, or resign first?
25851Wo n''t it do to- morrow?
25851You read that life of Clare?
25851You recollect that I asked you to read it all together, for I knew that I was working for that? 25851 _ Old England._ Can you cipher?
25851_ Old England._ Can you make figures? 25851 _ Old England._ Can you write?
25851_ Old England._ What do you learn, old fellow? 25851 _ Young Ireland._ Air yes?
25851_ Young Ireland._ Did it fit ankommon? 25851 ''A buono mano signore?'' 25851 ''A buono mano signore?'' 25851 ''And ca n''t you do it now?'' 25851 ''And her extrication is to be a certainty to me, that this has really happened?'' 25851 ''Are they strong?'' 25851 ''But that''s rather hard treatment for a witness, is n''t it?'' 25851 ''C''est vrai donc,''says the Duke,''que Madame la Duchesse n''est plus?'' 25851 ''Dead?'' 25851 ''Do n''t you think it very discreditable? 25851 ''Do you intend remaining long in Venice sir?'' 25851 ''Do you know what you are doing, my lord? 25851 ''Great heaven, sir,''said I,''how do I know? 25851 ''Has he ever walked out now, for instance?'' 25851 ''How is that, sir?'' 25851 ''If she_ must_ pray, why ca n''t she pray in their favour, instead of going against''em? 25851 ''In particular,''says he,''how else was it possible that the date, the 13th of September, could have been got at? 25851 ''Is there anything contraband in this carriage, signore?'' 25851 ''Might one ask the nature of this dream, sir?'' 25851 ''My lord, you do n''t understand me, I think?'' 25851 ''None at all?'' 25851 ''Perhaps you remained longer then sir?'' 25851 ''Sairey,''says Mrs. Harris, solemn,''whence this mystery? 25851 ''Sir,''said he, with the sweetest politeness,''can you speak French?'' 25851 ''Truly sir? 25851 ''Wa''al,''said he triumphantly,''and hoo did it first begin? 25851 ''Well,''I can fancy you saying,''but about his impressions of Boston and the Americans?'' 25851 ''Whaat sart of a hoose sur?'' 25851 ''What is it neow sir?'' 25851 ''What is the True religion?'' 25851 ''What''s_ he_ been doing?'' 25851 ''What?'' 25851 ''Where''s the great poet?'' 25851 ''Who is Jack Pithick?'' 25851 ''Why?'' 25851 ''Yes, I know,''said Mr. Dick--''in the morning; but what year?'' 25851 ''Yes, that is very true: but now,_ What''s his motive?_''I fancy I could make something like it into a kind of amusing and more innocent Pecksniff. 25851 ''You never go behind I think sir, or--?'' 25851 ''You smoke, do n''t you?'' 25851 *****Do you think it worth while, in the illustrations, to throw the period back at all for the sake of anything good in the costume?
25851--''By Hell,''tis Pickles!''--''Pickles?
25851--''In what direction?''
25851--I her fate?
25851--Isn''t it a good thing to have made a regular Portsmouth name of it?"
25851--and the bells will say,''Why stop her?
2585171?
25851?"
25851?"
25851A droll existence, is it not?
25851A less period than ten years?
25851And O, Angelica, what has become of you, this present Sunday morning when I ca n''t attend to the sermon?
25851And are_ they_, too, so well kept and so fair to see?
25851And have you any idea that at this moment-- this very time-- half the public at least supposes me to be paid?
25851And if so again, what would I do it for?
25851And is n''t it expressive, the perpetual prating of him in the book as_ the Poet_?
25851And mind, sir, I can see nobody-- do you hear?
25851And what do you say?
25851And what do you think of their tearing violently up to me and beginning to shake hands like madmen?
25851And-- don''t you think?
25851Animals.--Will you think of a particular animal, Madame?
25851Any word from Alfred in his misery?
25851As they were all impressed by his manner, the Attorney- General took him up again:''Have you received any information, sir, not yet disclosed to us?''
25851As, what became of all those lanterns hanging to the roof when the Junk was out at sea?
25851Ask me a question or two about fresco: will you be so good?
25851At Baltimore on Tuesday night( a very brilliant night indeed), they asked as they came out:''When will Mr. Dickens read here again?''
25851At night, shall I say?
25851Between five and six in the morning, shall I say?
25851Browne?
25851But do you quite consider that the public exhibition of oneself takes place equally, whosoever may get the money?
25851But how do we know them?
25851But is it not always true, in comedy and in tragedy, that the more real the man the more genuine the actor?"
25851But the party for the night following?
25851But what do you think of their being EDITORS?
25851But where will the blame lie if a man takes up_ Pickwick_ and is disappointed to find that he is not reading_ Rasselas_?
25851C, have you seen a paragraph respecting our departed friend, which has gone the round of the morning papers?''
25851Can that be so, after all?
25851Can you suggest any particular young person, serving in such a capacity, who would suit me?
25851Come for your beer as usual, have you?''
25851Comment dites- vous?
25851Could greatness be properly ascribed, by the fastidious, to a writer whose defects were so glaring, exaggerated, untrue, fantastic, and melodramatic?
25851Could it be done for a couple of guineas apiece at the Clarendon?
25851Could it be dropped decently?
25851Dickens?''
25851Did I tell you how many fountains we have here?
25851Did I tell you that the New York Press are going to give me a public dinner on Saturday the 18th?"
25851Did I tell you that the favourite drink before you get up is an Eye- Opener?
25851Did n''t you think so too?"
25851Did you ever hear how he died?
25851Did you ever read( of course you have, though) De Foe''s_ History of the Devil_?
25851Do I infer that you are going by Trieste?''
25851Do n''t you remember?
25851Do n''t you see?
25851Do n''t you think Mrs. Gaskell charming?
25851Do n''t you think it would be better for her to be brought up, if possible, to see Elliotson again?
25851Do n''t you?
25851Do you know him, or have you passed him anywhere?"
25851Do you know him?"
25851Do you know that the French soldiers call the English medal''The Salvage Medal''--meaning that they got it for saving the English army?
25851Do you know young Romilly?
25851Do you mean to go on, to- day?''
25851Do you mean to say he never comes out at that little iron door?''
25851Do you see any objection?"
25851Do you see this, ma''am?''
25851Do you think I can?
25851Do you think it may be done, without making people angry?
25851Do you think such a proceeding as I suggest would weaken number one very much?
25851Do you think that would be better?
25851Do you think the people so likely to be pleased with Florence, and Walter, as to relish another number of them at their present age?
25851Do you understand?
25851Does it seem too grim?
25851Dombey and family?''
25851Eh?
25851Eh?"
25851Everybody was told they would have to submit to the most iron despotism; and did n''t I come Macready over them?
25851Fletcher at once replied,"Yes,"and to the marble- merchant''s farther enquiry"how?"
25851Flowers.--The particular flower?
25851For who can be of any use whatsomdever such a day as this, excepting out of doors?"
25851Gamp?''
25851God bless them, you ca n''t imagine(_ you!_ how can you?)
25851Gore''s?''
25851Have you seen the Boston chapter yet?
25851Have you seen the note touching my_ Notes_ in the blue and yellow?"
25851His great favourite?
25851Hogarth is surrounded with great distresses''--observe, I never thought of saying''your mother''as to a mortal creature--''will you extricate her?''
25851How can_ I_ be her fate?
25851How is he, Dolby?
25851How is it falling into ruins?
25851I am sorry he should lose so much French, but do n''t you think to break another half- year''s schooling would be a pity?
25851I ask myself this question: if corn is not to be relied on, what is?
25851I asked Manby why he stuck to him?
25851I do n''t know what to say about dining to- morrow-- perhaps you''ll send up to- morrow morning for news?
25851I have discovered that the landlord of the Albion has delicious hollands( but what is that to_ you_?
25851I have done so.--Of what animal?
25851I have done so.--Of what class, Madame?
25851I have done so.--Of what class?
25851I hope this may suit you?
25851I infer that in reality you do yourself think, that what I first thought of is_ not_ the way?
25851I never thought of Uncle Sam.--By the bye, who_ is_ Uncle Sam?''"
25851I never told you this, did I?
25851I say nothing of Kate''s troubles-- but you recollect her propensity?
25851I think a good name?"
25851I think under all circumstances of politics, acquaintance, and_ Edinburgh Review_, that it''s much better as it is-- Don''t you?"
25851I think you know the form-- Don''t you?
25851I thought there was a good glimpse of a crowd, from a window-- eh?"
25851I want him to loom as a fanciful thing all over London; and to get up a general notion of''What will the Shadow say about this, I wonder?
25851I would take some man of literary pretensions as a secretary( Charles Collins?
25851If I had, why should I not say so?
25851If I have not actually used that word, will you introduce it?
25851If I was to deny it, what would it avail me?''
25851If so, would I do it for the_ Chronicle_?
25851In case I should succeed, and should not come down to you this morning, shall you be at the club or elsewhere after dinner?
25851In the later letter from Lucerne written as he was travelling home, he adds:"_ Did_ I ever tell you the details of my theatrical idea, before?
25851In the morning?
25851In the very improbable( surely impossible?)
25851Is he content?''.
25851Is it not so?
25851Is it worth having coats and gowns of dear old Goldsmith''s day?
25851Is n''t it odd?
25851Is n''t that a good story?
25851Is n''t this admirable?
25851Is that the Post?''
25851Is the Shadow here?''
25851Is there not?"
25851Is_ this_ my experience?"
25851It occurs to me-- might not your doubt about the christening be a reason for not making the ceremony the subject of an illustration?
25851It_ is_ handsome, is it not?"
25851James''s?"
25851Just look, will you?"
25851Madame, he says aloud, will you think of any class of objects?
25851Mary''s little dog too, Mrs. Bouncer, barked in the greatest agitation on being called down and asked by Mary,''Who is this?''
25851Meanwhile will you let him know that I have fixed the Nickleby dinner for Saturday, the 5th of October?
25851Monsieur Fors Tair, n''est- ce pas?
25851Mr. Britain must have another Christian name, then?
25851My General, says he, will you write a name on this slate, after your friend has done so?
25851My own impression of it, you remember?"
25851Not bad?"
25851Not come back, after such houses as these?
25851Now do you make anything out of this?
25851Now who do you think the lady is?
25851Now, WHAT SAY YOU?"
25851Oh, the fine old English Tory times; When will they come again?
25851On the other hand who would willingly have lost the fruits of an activity on the whole so healthy and beneficent?
25851Or is Toby but a dream?
25851Or it might be interrogatory summons to"A hard trot of three hours?"
25851Or, THE DOCTOR OF BEAUVAIS?"
25851Or, THE THREAD OF GOLD?
25851Or,"Do you know, I should n''t object to an early chop at some village inn?"
25851Or,"Is it possible that you ca n''t, ought n''t, should n''t, must n''t,_ wo n''t_ be tempted, this gorgeous day?"
25851Or,"Where shall it be--_oh, where_--Hampstead, Greenwich, Windsor?
25851Or,"You do n''t feel disposed, do you, to muffle yourself up and start off with me for a good brisk walk over Hampstead Heath?
25851Perhaps this forty- first, which I am now at work on, had better contain the announcement of_ Barnaby_?
25851Perhaps you have seen the history of the Dutch minister at Turin, and of the spiriting away of his daughter by the Jesuits?
25851Pickles?
25851Pickles?''
25851Result, Where is happiness to be found then?
25851Shall I ask him for a copy or no?
25851Shall I ever, I wonder, get the frame of mind back as it used to be then?
25851Shall I?
25851Shall we go to Rochester to- morrow week( my birthday) if the weather be, as it surely must be, better?"
25851She asked him to give her his writings, and could she have them that afternoon?
25851Should I ever have blundered on the waterfall of St. Wighton, if you had not piloted the way?
25851Should you like to go to Alum Bay while you are here?
25851So Charley has let you have the carriage, has he, Dolby?
25851Spell it?
25851Stanny and Jerrold I should particularly wish; Edwin Landseer; Blanchard; perhaps Harness; and what say you to Fonblanque and Fox?
25851Steerforth?"
25851Strewn with them?
25851Sunday?)
25851Surely not Everywhere?
25851That childhood exaggerates what it sees, too, has he not tenderly told?
25851The Americans read him; the free, enlightened, independent Americans; and what more_ would_ he have?
25851The Lion.--Will you think of another class of objects, Madame?
25851The Pawnbroker''s account of it?"
25851The Rose.--Will you open the paper you hold in your hand?
25851The only absolutely new incident however was that"After dinner he asked me if I would come into another room and smoke a cigar?
25851The question is, how far will that contingency tell, under Lord Campbell''s Act?"
25851The sun was going down, very red and bright; and the prospect looked like that ruddy sketch of Catlin''s, which attracted our attention( you remember?
25851Then quoth the inimitable-- Was it a dream of Toby''s after all?
25851Then she says, how could it be if we dine late enough?
25851Then there came hard upon this:"What do you think of the following double title for the beginning of that little tale?
25851There might not be anything in that but a possibility of an extra lift for the little book when it did come-- eh?
25851There was a piano in our room at Hartford( you recollect our being there, early in February?)
25851These figures are of course between ourselves, at present; but are they not magnificent?
25851These figures are of course between ourselves; but do n''t you think them rather remarkable?
25851This is not agreeable-- is it?
25851Though I shall probably proceed with the Battle idea, I should like to know what you think of this one?"
25851To everybody in succession, Captain Porter said,''Would you like to hear it read?''
25851To which the Attorney- General had observed,''Something good, sir, I hope?''
25851Very ignorant, is n''t it?
25851Voulez- vous boaxer?
25851Voulez- vous?
25851WHERE??????
25851WHERE??????
25851WHERE??????
25851WHERE??????
25851WHERE??????
25851WHERE??????
25851Walter''s allusion to Carker( would you take it_ all_ out?)
25851Was I right?
25851Was ever anything better said of a school- fare of starved gentility?
25851Was it a very good cap?
25851Was it unnatural?
25851Was n''t it you I saw on Sunday morning in the Hall, in a soldier''s cap?
25851Was_ this_ a good adventure?
25851Were they ravens who took manna to somebody in the wilderness?
25851Whaat''s that?
25851What about the_ Goldsmith_?
25851What do you say to the title, ONE OF THESE DAYS?"
25851What do you say?
25851What do you think of my setting up in the magnetic line with a large brass plate?
25851What do you think of the concluding paragraph?
25851What do you think of this for my title--_American Notes for General Circulation_; and of this motto?
25851What do you think of_ that_?
25851What do you think, as a name for the Christmas book, of THE BATTLE OF LIFE?
25851What do you think?
25851What do you think?
25851What do you think?
25851What do you think?
25851What do you think?
25851What do you think?
25851What else could I do?
25851What had he done?
25851What more could I say that was not better said from the pulpit of the Abbey where he rests?
25851What should you say, for a notion of the illustrations, to''Miss Tox introduces the Party?''
25851What think you?)
25851What time will you ride?
25851What to him, at that time, was the courtesy of an earthly sovereign?"
25851What will the Shadow say about that?
25851What''s home?
25851What, do you mean that C----?''
25851What, however, is the public?
25851When I had quite finished, seeing her obviously bewildered, I said, with great gravity,''Now you know what you''re going to order?''
25851When we have been writing, and I beg him( do you remember anything of my love of order, at this distance of time?)
25851When_ are_ you coming?
25851Where are the people who do all this?
25851Where are they all?
25851Where are you going to, Poker?
25851Where shall I begin-- about my darlings?
25851Where would you make the insertion, and to what effect?
25851Whether all the cool and shiny little chairs and tables were continually sliding about and bruising each other, and if not why not?
25851Whether anybody on the voyage ever read those two books printed in characters like bird- cages and fly- traps?
25851Whether the idol Chin Tee, of the eighteen arms, enshrined in a celestial Punch''s Show, in the place of honour, ever tumbled out in heavy weather?
25851Whether they dangled there, banging and beating against each other, like so many jesters''baubles?
25851Which is it, my dear fellow?
25851Which is it?
25851Who has not had occasion, however priding himself on his unlikeness to Micawber, to think of Micawber as he reviewed his own experiences?
25851Who has not himself waited, like Micawber, for something to turn up?
25851Who is so familiar with him as not still to be finding something new in him?
25851Who is there that has ever thought him tedious?
25851Who that recollects the numbers of_ Nickleby_ as they appeared can have forgotten how each number added to the general enjoyment?
25851Who will doubt that the chapter on HOW NOT TO DO IT was then absorbing the old soldier''s attention?
25851Who_ could_ be happy without her?
25851Why ca n''t you come down next Saturday( bringing work) and go back with me on Wednesday for the_ Copperfield_ banquet?
25851Why do n''t you bring down a carpet- bag- full of books, and take possession of the drawing- room all the morning?
25851Why should the young man be so calumniated?
25851Why should we pay for one when we can get it for nothing?
25851Why?
25851Will you come here at six?
25851Will you dine with us to- morrow at six sharp?
25851Will you put him in the last little chapter?
25851With marvellous imagination, and a nature to endow it with elements of universal power, what secrets of creative art could possibly be closed to him?
25851Would I look at it as a Fortune, and in no other point of view?
25851Would I name a sum?
25851Would there be any distinctly bad effect in holding this idea over for another twelvemonth?
25851Would you leave it for happiness''sake?
25851Yer coonsider it a Park sir?
25851You do not wonder at this style?
25851You have been in Venice before?''
25851You know!--In a soldier''s cap?
25851You like the property?''
25851You recognize the queer vanity which is at the root of all this?
25851You recollect that favourite pigstye of mine near Broadstairs?
25851You remember my fears about her when she was in London the time of Alfred''s marriage, and that I said she looked to me as if she were in a decline?
25851You remember the dumb dodge of relating an escape from captivity?
25851You will ask Mac, and why not his sister?
25851[ 106]"What do you think of a notion that has occurred to me in connection with our abandoned little weekly?
25851[ 141]"_ Is n''t Bunsby good_?"
25851[ 146]"Do you see anything to object to in it?
25851[ 57] Miss Martineau was perhaps partly right, then?

25851and Meg a dream?
25851and is not the way before me, plainly this?
25851and where do you come from?''
25851and why Miss Napier?
25851and, more difficult question than that, what has become of Me as I was when I sat by your side?"
25851he remarked of an ably- written pamphlet in which this was urged( 10th of November 1866):"what is the worth of the remedy after all?
25851nettled by this( you feel it?
25851or is it Mr. Dickens''s raven?_ he says.
25851or thereabouts?
25851or,''I said, observing that it still hesitated, and was moved with the greatest compassion for me,''perhaps the Roman Catholic is the best?
25851perhaps it makes one think of God oftener, and believe in him more steadily?''

25851to find those fancies it has given me and you the greatest satisfaction to think of, at the core of it all?
25851was there_ not_ something very serious in it once?
25851who was I that I should quarrel with the town for being changed to me, when I myself had come back, so changed, to it?
6042( 232) He looked extremely provoked, and asked if I really meant to inform him I did not choose his company? 6042 ( 362) Need I say this was Madame de la, Fite?
6042( 368)PRAY, will you tell me,"said Mrs. Crewe, drily,"what you mean by the people?
6042A comedy?
6042A design upon me?
6042A little, sir?
6042A shake?
6042Ah, ma''am-- is there no language but of words? 6042 Altered, is he?"
6042And can he ever look pleasant? 6042 And can this man,"cried he, presently,"this man-- so gentle--- be guilty?"
6042And can you,I cried, fixing him,"can you have so much compassion for one captive, and still have none for another?"
6042And has he done it?
6042And how, for heaven''s sake?
6042And if it does,cried Mrs. Crewe,"what is it to us?
6042And if you could so love him,cried I,"knowing him only in a general way, what would you have felt for him had you known him at Streatham?"
6042And in the Little park?
6042And is it essential,cried I,"that they should so run them through that nobody can understand them?
6042And is there no dispensation?
6042And now, poor Stanhope,cried the duke,"give another glass to poor Stanhope, d''ye hear?"
6042And now,I continued,"shall I tell you, just in the same simple style, how I have been struck with the speakers and speeches I have yet heard?"
6042And now,cried he, making us all sit down again,"where are my rascals of servants?
6042And pray what was it?
6042And pray, Mr. Turbulent, solve me, then, this difficulty; what choice has a poor female with whom she may converse? 6042 And pray, ma''am, what food have they in winter?"
6042And pray,quoth I to James, when he told me this,"did you not say the honour of an audience?"
6042And shall I tell you,I added,"something in which you had nearly been involved with him?"
6042And was it my spinning?
6042And what do you think of Miss Fuzilier?
6042And what is it has saved you?
6042And what was that?
6042And what,cried he, laughing,"do you say to that notion now you see him?"
6042And what,cried he,"has your father got, at last?
6042And what,he asked,"shall you do?"
6042And when?
6042And where do you wait?
6042And where? 6042 And who bin he?"
6042And why not?
6042And why,cried he,"do you speak so low?
6042And why?
6042And why?
6042And will the chancellor speak to adjourn?
6042And you wish,he cried,"to hear me?
6042Are you approaching,I cried,"to hear my upbraidings?"
6042Are you preparing,he cried,"for a campaign?"
6042Are- are you feverish, ma''am?
6042But better?
6042But can you speak seriously,cried he,""when You say you know nothing of this business?"
6042But did you see nothing-- remark nothing there? 6042 But do I use it?"
6042But for what is your man to have it, when it is mine?
6042But have you, yourself, ma''am, no curiosity-- no desire to see Colonel Wellbred?
6042But how,cried I,"could you stand?"
6042But how,cried he,"do you give up, without deigning to assign one reason for It"?
6042But how,cried he,"do you stand the fiery trial of this Streatham book that is coming upon us?"
6042But how,cried he,"have I incurred your upbraidings?"
6042But in the Little park?
6042But pray, ma''am,very gravely, how did it happen?
6042But the real use of a fan,cried he,"if there is any, is it not-- to hide a particular blush that ought not to appear?"
6042But what was it?
6042But what,cried I,"was the occasion that drew you forth?"
6042But will you not, at least, tell me your reasons for this conduct?
6042But would he, if guilty, have waited its chance? 6042 But you have not seen much of him?"
6042But, at least,I said,"I hope what I hear is not true, though I now grow afraid to ask?"
6042But, surely you must have read the charges?
6042But,cried he,"can you not bid somebody watch?"
6042But: pray, now, Colonel Wellbred, tell me sincerely)--could you really make out what I was singing?
6042By auction, Sir? 6042 By your father?"
6042Can nobody,he cried,"let you know when they are coming?"
6042Come hither, do you hear?
6042Come, Miss Burney,cried the queen,"how are your spirits?-- How is your voice?"
6042Corrigà © e? 6042 Could you imagine I should miss your conversation, your ease, your pleasantness, your gaiety, and take no notice of the loss?"
6042Did I bring you here?
6042Do you see Scott?
6042Do you?
6042Do you?
6042Does Miss Burney know Latin?
6042Entertained?
6042Fanciful, Sir?
6042Give me, then, your promise,--your solemn promise,--at least I may claim that?
6042Good heaven, Mr. Turbulent, what can induce you to say this?
6042Have I?
6042Have they indeed?
6042Have you not heard of yourself?
6042Have you read two?
6042Have you, then, still,cried he,"the same sentiments?"
6042Have you,cried I,"heard all thus far of the defence, and are you still unmoved?"
6042How can that be,cried he,"when you never contest any one point with her?"
6042How do you do, Captain Burney?
6042How do you do, sir?
6042How is it all to be?
6042How nervous I am?
6042How should he,cried I,"look otherwise than unpleasant here?"
6042How,he cried,"are You?
6042How?--by not answering when spoken to?
6042I can not,he said,"stop now, but I will come again; however, you know it, perhaps, already?
6042I know it,cried he,"and what do I care?"
6042I must fairly, then, own myself utterly ignorant upon this subject, and-- and-- may I go on?
6042I thought he meant to leave us to- day? 6042 I understand,"quoth I,"there is a great dearth of abilities in this new Assembly; how then should there be any variety?"
6042In disgrace?
6042In my parlour? 6042 Indeed, what you have seen of him have you then so much approved?"
6042Is he here, then?
6042Is it not true?
6042Is the defence to go on long, and are they to have any evidence; or how?
6042Is the king, ma''am,he cried,"there?
6042Is the queen here?
6042Knock him on the head?
6042Ma''am,cried he,"you have a brother in the service?"
6042May I,I said,"go yet a little farther?
6042May I,he cried,"come in?--and- for an hour?
6042May one?
6042Me?
6042Me?
6042Me?--no, not INo?--what, nothing?"
6042Men have no fans,cried he,"and how do they do?"
6042Mr. Turbulent,cried I,"will you be satisfied if I tell you it shall all blow over?"
6042My help?
6042My name? 6042 No offence, I hope, sir?"
6042No, I hope not; I hope you have no wants about my miserable speaking?
6042No, no, I do n''t mean that;--but why ca n''t we have our waitings month by month?--would not that be better?
6042No? 6042 No?
6042No? 6042 None of them, ma''am?"
6042Not mean it?
6042O How can I,cried she, in a voice of distress,"when already, as there is company here without me, Mrs. Schwellenberg has asked me what I came for?"
6042O, Mr. Windham,cried I, surprised and pleased,"and can you be so liberal?"
6042O,cried he, very unaffectedly,"upon the French Revolution?"
6042Of leadder, sir?--of leadder? 6042 Once,"he answered,"I said a few words--""O when?"
6042Perhaps,cried I,"your friends conclude you have music enough in your three months''waiting to satisfy you for all the year?"
6042Pray, Mr. Turbulent,cried she, hastily,"what play are you to read to- night?"
6042Pray, then, madam,cried he,"if French plays have the misfortune to displease you, what national plays have the honour Of your preference?"
6042Shall I leave the poem,he cried,"or take it with me, in case there should be any leisure to go on with it to- morrow?"
6042Shall I tell you,cried I,"a design I have been forming upon you?"
6042Should you like to know him, ma''am?
6042So then,cried Colonel Goldsworthy,"there are twenty good people in the world?
6042So you meant, ma''am, to have had a breed of them,cried Colonel Goldsworthy;"a breed of young frogs?
6042Surely,she cried,"you may wrap up, so as not to catch cold that once?"
6042Tell me,I said,"and honestly,--should we be overturned in the boat while out at sea, what would prevent our being drowned?"
6042The Lords, however, I suppose, must come?
6042Then what business have they to get into my bed, ma''am? 6042 Then, sir,"very angrily,"how Come you by it?"
6042Thraldom?
6042To be sold? 6042 Unmoved?"
6042Vell, sleeps he yet with you--Colonel Goldsworthy?
6042Well, I think it will be, for I know they correspond; and what should he correspond with her for else?
6042Well, Miss Burney,cried the first,"what say you to a governor- general of India now?"
6042Well, and is that a good voice?
6042Well, but pray, now, what do you call my voice?
6042Well, but would not that be better than what it is now? 6042 Well, but,"cried he laughing,"may I find a fault?
6042Well, ma''am, it''s all Colonel Wellbred, I dare say; so, suppose you and I were to take the law of him?
6042Well, ma''am, what say you to all this? 6042 Well, well,"cried he,"that may be some compensation to you, but to us, to all others, what compensation is there for depriving you of time?"
6042Well,he cried, in our way to the chair,"will there be war with Spain?"
6042Well,quoth I, to make a little amends,"shall I tell you a compliment he paid you?"
6042Well?
6042What is it all to the shame and disgrace of convicted guilt?
6042What news?
6042What will you do, my good colonel?
6042What you mean by going home?
6042What''s the matter? 6042 What, in his foot?"
6042What, ma''am!--won''t you give him a little tea?
6042What, then, have not you heard-- how Much the king has talked? 6042 What?--hey?--How?"
6042When did he come back?
6042When the Duke of York came yesterday to dinner, he said almost immediately,''Pray, ma''am, what has Miss Burney left You for?'' 6042 When will he come to the point?
6042When you do n''t not see them? 6042 Whether or not,"quoth I,"I am heartily glad he has not done it; why should he seem so dismal, so shut out from hope?"
6042Who is it?
6042Who is it?
6042Who?
6042Why then, ma''am, what business had it in my bed? 6042 Why, how must I do it?"
6042Why, like when he was so cordial with you? 6042 Why, then, I''ll try myself-- is it so?"
6042Will he stay on to- night, then, at Worcester?
6042Will you give me leave to inquire,quoth I,"one thing?
6042Will you, at least, promise I shall be present at the meet--?
6042Yes, I''ll tell you,cried he; but again he stopped, and, hesitatingly, said,"You-- you wo n''t be angry?"
6042Yes, Indeed; gentle even to humility--"Humility? 6042 Yes, Yes,"cried he, precipitately,"how else shall I go on?
6042Yes, and who can wonder? 6042 Yes, ma''am, and I have been very much hurt by it: that is, if your majesty means anything relative to myself?"
6042Yes, ma''am, upon my speaking,-but why did you keep Me so long in that painful suspense?
6042Yes, you,--and for what, I say?
6042Yes,I answered, shuddering at this new scene for her"should I tell her majesty your royal highness is here?"
6042Yes,said he;"I was singing with Colonel Wellbred; and he said he was my second.--How did I do that song?"
6042Yes-- but the shame, the disgrace of a flight?
6042You are an Etonian, Mr. Bryant,said the king,"but pray, for what were you most famous at school?"
6042You are certainly, then, afraid of him?
6042You are going,she cried,"to church?--so, am I. I must run first to the inn: I suppose one-- may sit-- anywhere one pleases?"
6042You are never, then( I said afterwards),"to speak here?"
6042You believe not?
6042You conclude,cried he, looking very sharp,"I shall then be better steeled against that fatal candour?"
6042You do n''t take it ill, I hope, sir?
6042You do not, however, call that virtue, ma''am-- you do not call that the rule of right?
6042You have?
6042You think,cried he,"''tis bringing a fresh courser into the field of battle, just as every other is completely jaded?"
6042You tired!--what have you done? 6042 You will come, however, to hear Burke?
6042You-- you are not well, ma''am?
6042Your majesty, sir, knows General Conway? 6042 ''A drunken man?'' 6042 ''Gone?'' 6042 ''La Coquette''is your royal highness''s taste?
6042''Left me?''
6042''Tis indeed a dread event!--and how it may terminate who can say?
6042''What do you put them there for?''
6042''What for?
6042''Yes, it''s at full length in all the newspapers: is not she gone?''
6042''Yes, they say she''s gone; pray what''s the reason?''
6042( 283)"Cui Bono?
6042( 314) In the evening, Lord Courtown, opening my parlour door, called out,"May one come in?"
6042( 336) But is it possible, sir, that your daughter has no holidays?
6042( 362)"Is it possible?
6042--And who will repine at that?
6042--Must I teach it you,,--teach it to Miss Burney who speaks, who understands it so well?--who is never silent, and never can b silent?"
6042A little while after,--"Did he go away from you early?"
6042A lively"How d''ye do, Miss Burney?
6042After a short vindication of his friends, he said,"You have never heard Pitt?
6042After some general talk,"When, ma''am,"he said,"am I to have the honour of introducing Colonel Wellbred to you?"
6042After such averseness to a meeting-- such struggles to avoid him; what am I to think of the sincerity of that pretended reluctance?"
6042Afterwards he asked what his coat was, whether blue Or purple; and said,"is it not customary for a prisoner to come black?"
6042Again a little ashamed of herself, she added, rather more civilly,"For what should you have that trouble?"
6042Almost breathless now with amaze, I could hardly cry,"Do I?"
6042Am I so happy?
6042And have you heard nothing more?"
6042And is it not a curious scene?
6042And some time after the queen could not forbear saying,"I hope, Miss Burney, YOU minded the epilogue the other night?"
6042And then came his heroic old homage to the poor eyebrows vehemently finishing with,"Do you, can you affect to know no language but speech?"
6042And then, fixing her with the most provoking eyes,"Est- ce la Danemarc?"
6042And then, seeing her blush extremely, he clasped his hands, in high pretended confusion, Page 27 and hiding his head, called Out,"Que ferai- je?
6042And what, ma''am, has Colonel Wellbred done to merit such a mortification?"
6042Are we going to lose you?"
6042Are you strong?
6042At last he asked me if anybody was likely to come?
6042At the door of my new old room who should I encounter but Mr. Stanhope?
6042Been you acquainted?"
6042Beurni que je vois?
6042But I wonder what he says of everybody?"
6042But he would give me no satisfaction; he only said"You refuse to receive him, ma''am?-- shall I go and tell him you refuse to receive him?"
6042But just before we quitted the walks I was run after by a quick female step:--"Miss Burney, do n''t you know me?
6042But still, why begin with Colonel Wellbred?
6042But the heaviness of heart with which we began this journey, and the dreadful prognostics of the duration of misery to which it led us-- who can tell?
6042But then a difficulty arose as to where?
6042But this morning, while her hair was dressing, my royal Mistress suddenly said,"Did you see any body yesterday?"
6042But what are they to think of this delay?
6042But what will follow?
6042But what will not prejudice and education inculcate?
6042But what, you will say, has a tea- drinking party to do with a botanist, a man of science, a president of the Royal Society?
6042But when the dinner came I was asked by the prà © sidente,"What for send you gentlemen to my parlour?"
6042Ca n''t he come out?"
6042Can I call her by another name, loving that name so long, so well, for her and her sake?
6042Can Mr. Hastings appear to you such a monster?
6042Can You then be so unnatural as to prosecute him with this eagerness?"
6042Can you allow me entrance and room for that time?"
6042Colonel Manners asked me if I had not heard something, very harmonious at church in the morning?
6042Could I then be sorry, seeing this, to contribute my small mite towards clearing, at least, so very wide a mistake?
6042Could even his prosecutors at that moment look on-- and not shudder at least, if they did not blush?
6042Could he not have chosen any other place of residence?"
6042Did she imagine I should answer"For your society, ma''am"?
6042Did you ever hear a more perfectly satisfactory examination?
6042Do I see my dear Miss Burney?"
6042Do n''t you think so?"
6042Do you not think, Miss Planta, the Prince of Wales and Prince William would have been quite enough for Miss Burney?
6042Do you pretend to think there is no other?''
6042Do you really want rest?"
6042Do you rob, sir?
6042Do you take what is not your own, but others'', sir, because your man is frightened?"
6042Do you think I heard such a testimony to my most revered and beloved departed friend unmoved?
6042Do you think there can be any harm in giving it now?"
6042Equally amazed and provoked, she disdainfully asked me what I knew of him?
6042Fairly again; but, before he entered into any narrations he asked"DO you expect Sir Lucas?"
6042Fairly again?"
6042Fairly here to- night?"
6042Fairly is here to- day?
6042Fairly then asked Dr. Fisher what they were to do?
6042Fairly was here, then?"
6042Fairly will ever marry again?"
6042Fairly''s designs with regard to his going away?
6042Fairly''s voice, saying,"Is Miss Burney there?
6042Fairly, laughing,"to dine with you?"
6042Fairly, pointing to my work- box, said,"Shall I read a little to you?"
6042Fairly,--perhaps to show himself superior to that little sally,--asked me whether he might write his letter in my room?
6042Fairly;"they would have come to you, I promise you; and what could you have done-- what would have become of you?--with Prince William in particular?
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?--Why did he not tell it me?"
6042For what not go to the gentlemen?
6042For what wo n''t you not marry him?"
6042Has he never tasted happiness, who so deeply drinks of sorrow?
6042Hastings?"
6042Have I mentioned them?
6042Have you ever happened to see any of his writings?"
6042Have you not heard he spares nobody?"
6042He appeared to me in much perturbation, and I thought by his see- saw he was going to interrupt the speech: did you prevent him?"
6042He asked me whether I had walked out in the morning?
6042He assured me he was quite well-- as well as he had ever been in his life; and then inquired how I did, and how I went on?
6042He comes upon his defence; ought he to look as if he gave himself up?"
6042He did; adding,"Do you not like to sit here, where you can look down upon the several combatants before the battle?"
6042He shrugged his shoulders, and walked away; and Mr. Smelt, smiling, said,"Will you give us any?"
6042He stared a little, but I added with pretended dryness,"Do any of you that live down there in that prosecutor''s den ever sleep in your beds?
6042He started, and cried with precipitancy,"Do you mean me?"
6042He then asked me if I had heard Mr. Grey?"
6042He then said,"Have you done with my little book?"
6042He wanted to hear more particulars: I fancy the Willises had vaguely related some:"Did he not,"he cried,"promise to do something for you?"
6042Heavens!--did they ever, unsummoned, quit it?
6042Her majesty inquired of me if I had ever met with- Lady Hawke?
6042Her majesty was much surprised to hear he was again out so unexpectedly, and asked if he thought of going to Gloucester?
6042His face?"
6042Hogentot?"
6042How could this man be a soldier?
6042How d''ye do?"
6042How is that; have you it, as you Ought, at your own disposal?"
6042How should he know anything Of the matter?
6042How will you have it sold, Sir?
6042I asked another good woman, who came in for some flour, if she had been of the party?
6042I asked him if he thought a life of uselessness and of goodness the same thing?
6042I asked if he could yet let them have beds to stay, or horses to proceed?
6042I asked if she did not stay tea?
6042I begged him to follow, and we were proceeding to the dressing- room, when I was stopped by a gentleman, who said,"Does the queen want anybody?"
6042I both believed and applauded him so far; but why) Page 59 are either of them engaged in a prosecution so uncoloured by necessity?
6042I could hardly stand this, and, to turn it off'', asked him if Mr. Hastings was to make his own defence?
6042I could not help saying rather faintly,"Has he?"
6042I courtsied, and wondered more, and then a surprised voice exclaimed,"Do n''t you know me?"
6042I entreated to know why such a change?
6042I heard it, however, again,--and the queen called out,"What is that?"
6042I hope you are quite well now?"
6042I inquired how it was all to end-- whether this reading was to continue incessantly, or any speaking was to follow it?
6042I inquired if he pursued his musical studies, so happily begun with Colonel Wellbred?
6042I inquired of Miss Herschel if she was still comet- hunting, or content now with the moon?
6042I inquired of her if she had seen the royal family when they visited Devonshire?
6042I ran off to another scene, and inquired how he had been amused abroad, and, in particular, at the National Assembly?
6042I then mentioned how kindly he had taken his visit to him at Lichfield during a severe illness,"And he left you,"I said,"a book?"
6042I ventured then to ask if yet I had been named?
6042I was in my inner room, and called out,"Who''s there?"
6042I was not quite prepared for the interrogatory, and feared she might next inquire when and where I had seen him?
6042I was the other day at a place to see Stuart''s Athenian architecture, and whom do you think I met in the room?"
6042Is it so?
6042Is not this a charming trait of provincial popularity?
6042Is not this a fit bishop''s wife?
6042Is that a form of law?"
6042Is this explicit?
6042July 2.-What a stare was drawn from our new equerry(238) by Major Price''s gravely asking Mrs. Schwellenberg, after the health of her frogs?
6042Let her tell her own story, and how will it harm us?"
6042MAY"ONE"COME IN?
6042Mademoiselle votre fille n''a- t- elle point de vacance?
6042May I not justly call it so, different as it is to all the mode of life I have hitherto lived here, or alas I am in a way to live henceforward?
6042Might one not think he was bred in the cloisters?
6042Mr. Bunbury laughed, but declared he would not take the hint:"What,"cried he,"if I lose the beginning?
6042Mr. Windham; would you wish me in future to take to nothing but lions?
6042Mrs. Crewe hastily and alarmed interrupted him, to inquire what he meant, and what might ensue to Mr. Crewe?
6042Must she not, in company as in dancing, take up with those Who choose to take up with her?"
6042My dear ma''am, why do you stay?--it wo n''t do, ma''am!
6042My dearest friends,- I have her majesty''s commands to inquire-- whether you have any of a certain breed of poultry?
6042Need I more strongly than this mark the very rare pleasure I received from his conversation?
6042O, who could succeed there?
6042Page 18"But what can he say, ma''am?
6042Page 254"Know what?"
6042Page 28"Not till you have answered that question, ma''am''what country has plays to your royal highness''s taste?"
6042Page 341 I found, however, they had already met, probably in the passage, for the queen added,"How melancholy he looks, does not he, princess royal?"
6042Page 41"But how did I do it, Wellbred; for I never tried at it before?"
6042Page 440"But do you not think Mr. Law spoke well?"
6042Page 467"Pray, sir,"cried she,"what''s o''clock?"
6042Page 58"Nay,"cried I,"could I well be quicker?
6042Page 70"For what, then,"cried a stern voice behind me,"for What go you upstairs at all, when you do n''t drink coffee?
6042Pray does he know any Of your secrets?
6042Pray, have you all drunk his majesty''s health?"
6042Shall I bring him to the Lodge to see you?"
6042Shall I tell the colonel- to bring one?"
6042She asked if he should not return to Brighthelmstone?
6042She asked me a thousand questions of what I thought about Miss Fuzilier?
6042She asked me, somewhat curiously, if I had seen any of my old friends?
6042She called to her aid her religion, and without it what, indeed, must have become of her?
6042She inquired of me if my father was still writing?
6042She leaned her head forward, and in a most soft manner, said,"Miss Burney, how are you?"
6042She soon inquired what answer had arrived from Mr. Francis?
6042She spoke at once, and with infinite softness, asking me how I did after my journey?
6042Shepherd?"
6042Should I drive him from me, what would pay me, and how had he deserved it?
6042Some time after he suddenly exclaimed,"Have you-- tell me-- have you, ma''am, never done what you repent?"
6042Soon after, a voice just by my side, from the green benches, said,"Will Miss Burney allow me to renew my acquaintance with her?"
6042That''s your calculation, is it?"
6042The king asked me what had been doing at Westminster Hall?
6042The moment I joined them, Mrs. Schwellenberg called out,--"Pray, Miss Berner, for what visit you the gentlemen?"
6042Then he said he would not, and cried''Who are you?''
6042Then turning gaily to Mr. de Luc,"And you, Mr. de Luc,"he cried,"are not you, too, very glad to see Miss Beurni again?"
6042Then, turning to me,"What am I to say, ma''am?
6042There''s no such thing as pretending to measure, at such a distance as that?"
6042They all exclaimed,"Is he here?"
6042This morning, when I received my intelligence of the king from Dr. John Willis, I begged to know where I might walk in safety?
6042Thither I went, and we embraced very cordially; but she a little made me stare by saying,"Do you sleep in your old bed?"
6042Till you spoke could I know if you heeded it?"
6042True, she must die at last, but who must not?
6042Tuesday, June 19.-We were scarcely all arranged at tea when Colonel Manners eagerly said,"Pray, Mrs. Schwellenberg, have you lost anything?"
6042Upon my vord!--how come you to do dat, sir?
6042Was it not a curious scene?
6042Was it not a most singular scene?
6042Was it not a strange business?
6042Was not all the world before him?
6042Was not this agreeable?
6042We all began race talk, but Mr. Turbulent, approaching very significantly, said,"Do you want a chair On the other side, ma''am?
6042We all looked round;--but Colonel Goldsworthy broke forth aloud--"Civil, quotha?"
6042We talked all these matters over more at length, till I was called away by an"How d''ye do, Miss Burney?"
6042We then came back again to books, and he asked us if we had read a little poem called the"Shipwreck"?
6042What are you all so slow for?
6042What could I do?
6042What is the news?"
6042What say you to Mr. Turbulent now?
6042What say you to now?
6042What say you, then,"cried he,"to Pitt?"
6042What was that for me?"
6042What was the skeleton?
6042What will you give me, fair ladies, for a copy of verse, written between the Queen of Great Britain and your most small little journalist?
6042What, when it had my name upon it?
6042When he had done he looked earnestly for my answer, but finding I made none, he said, with some concern,"You wo n''t think any more of it?"
6042When he had written a few lines, he asked if I was very busy, or could help him?
6042When she was gone, he took up the book, and said,"Shall I read some passages to you?
6042When they retired, Mrs. Schwellenberg exclaimed,"For what not stay one night?
6042When they were within a few yards of me, the king called out,"Why did you run away?"
6042Where are all my rascals gone?
6042While we were examining the noble pillars in the new room, I heard an exclamation of"Est- ce possible?
6042Who could tell to what height the delirium might rise?
6042Who has liberty, le peuple, or the mob?
6042Who was so captivated as myself by that extraordinary man, till he would no longer suffer me to reverence the talents I must still ever admire?
6042Who, after that, can repine at any inconvenience here for the household?
6042Why Page 112 do you not ask me when I was at the play?
6042Why are you so cruel to all around-- to them and their readers?"
6042Why do n''t YOU give champagne to poor Stanhope?"
6042Why should he contribute his humble mite to your triumphs?
6042Why, then, how came you to receive the news about his death?"
6042Will you hear a criticism, if nothing of another sort?"
6042Will you tell me, once?"
6042Would you know what my title is derived from?
6042Yet how, at such a time, prevail by persuasion?
6042Yet nothing I could say put a stop to"How can you defend her in this?--how can you justify her in that?""
6042Yet, not having power to be very amusing after all this, I was sternly asked by Mrs. Schwellenberg,"For what I did not talk?"
6042You did not treat Colonel Goldsworthy so?"
6042You fix, then, upon''La Coquette?''
