37047And is this, without laughing, true?
37047And pray, replied Mr. Barnard, what reason have you beyond a pun to take him for a Jacobite?
37047And shall a manifest experience be so easily exploded?
37047And what sort of a boy is he?
37047As big as you are?
37047But then, say you, why can not those persons be cured by physicians?
37047But what fools periods read for periods''sake?
37047But what sort of a boy is that that meets you?
37047Can we make it a scruple, whether God will permit innocent persons should be so traduced?
37047Did the little boy appoint you?
37047Do good spirits dwell so near us, or are they sent on such messages?
37047Does he write?
37047For how does a demon stir up raptures or ecstacies in men?
37047For how many gipsies and pretenders to chiromancy have we in London and in the country?
37047Hereupon, being much affrighted, he fell into an extreme sweat, so that his wife awaking and finding him all over wet, she asked him what he ailed?
37047How many that are for hydromancy, that pretend in water to show men mighty mysteries?
37047In what English book?
37047Is not this hypothesis as precarious as any man may pretend that of spirits to be?
37047Is not this like what you call hearing?
37047Lying in his bed, pensive, Bocconi appeared to him; my Lord Middleton asked him if he were dead or alive?
37047May not we have leave to recriminate in this place?
37047Must he be so because his name is Perkin?
37047Now the man that had the second- sight was to be tried; it was now to be put to the proof if he could tell names or no?
37047Now what can be more infinitely profane than to use the prayer our Lord instituted in such a way?
37047One of the fathers immediately asked him if he understood Latin?
37047Or what should touch our consciences, being convicted by so many testimonies?
37047Pray, who told Aristotle that there were intelligences that moved the celestial spheres?
37047Shall his obstinacy confute the learned?
37047Shall his want of faith be thought justly to give the lie to so many persons of the highest honour and quality, and of the most undoubted integrity?
37047Shall we place him in the number of the rebels, whom their pride precipitated into the abyss?
37047The reply Cantle made him was this; Does he not love ringing?
37047Then it asked him whether he did not know him?
37047This being thought extraordinary, and Sir Norman hearing one whisper him in the ear, asked who advised him so skilfully?
37047To begin: how are children at first taught a language that can hear?
37047To whom the fathers, being somewhat of an eager spirit, said; What should make us doubtful in this case?
37047Upon this Sir Norman asked him how long it was since he had learned to play?
37047What greater testimony would the most incredulous have?
37047What interest could an earl and many noblemen have in promoting such an imposture?
37047What noisy talker can thy magic boast?
37047Will you imagine that you are in commerce with a spirit?
37047_ My question._ But what was you staring at when I came in?
37047_ My question._ How big is he?
37047_ My question._ How does he do it?
37047_ My question._ I will be sure to keep it secret; but how do you know you are to meet them there to- day?
37047and what are those sounds, but tokens and signs to the ear, importing and signifying such and such a thing?
37047and what sort of a lamb?
37047and yet, retaining love to him, as Dives to his brethren, would have him saved?
37047are they not taught by sounds?
37047have aids from thee; Wilt thou, like witty heathens, lewdly given, To a Gehenna metamorphose Heaven?
37047or is it his guardian angel?
37047or is it the soul of some dead friend that suffers?
37047or of the intelligences, who continued firm in faith and submission to their creator?
37047though they are like other boys and other lambs which you see, they are a thousand times prettier and finer?
37047will you not take time to translate that book which is sent unto you out of Germany?
43237Did not you say that there was somebody down stairs that would be glad to see me?
43237Did you build the pyramids?
43237Do you know how long the first was built before Christ?
43237Do you mean that it was built before the flood?
43237How long have you been there?
43237How will he do for provisions?
43237I demand of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, our once crucified God, whether you are mortal or immortal?
43237Is it not remarkable,says he,"that no record of them appears till_ quite recently_?"
43237Mother,said the child,"will the devil forgive me if I neglect my prayers?"
43237The leech,they say,"can cure those disorders; but who is capable of curing the evil eye?"
43237Well,she replied, with great pertness,"is not Mrs. Mather always glad to see you?"
43237Were there kings of Egypt so soon after the creation?
43237Were you drowned in the Red Sea?
43237Were you king of Egypt when Moses was there?
43237What latitude does he lie in chiefly?
43237What shall we say,says the late Professor Stuart,"of the excessive use that has been made of the passages that speak of his influence and dominion?
43237What was the principal object of them?
43237Where did you dwell till then?
43237Where do you dwell now?
43237Why?
43237Will he be home next summer?
43237Will he find the passage?
43237_ Some._"Were any built before your time?
43237''Can I do you any good?''
43237''Does John Thompson live in Vermont?''
43237''Does he live in Massachusetts?''
43237''How?''
43237''Is John Thompson dead?''
43237''The sick man is bewitched: who has bewitched him?
43237''_ Put it to my mouth._''I asked,''Where is your mouth?''
43237And I have seen a copy or two of a certain''Journal,''ostensibly advocating the great truths(?)
43237And how are we to account for the Millerites and others being so raised, as they believed?
43237And how can we free ourselves from this thraldom?
43237And how shall the other 30 years be found?
43237And how shall this great object be accomplished?
43237And what now shall be done?
43237And why so?
43237And yet, who were ever more influenced by a belief in signs, omens, spectres, and witches?
43237Are not these cases to be relied upon as much as those related by Mr. Sunderland?
43237Are they not as much to be credited as those who profess a belief in the miracles of the"harmonial philosophers"?
43237But how does the dog obtain this foreknowledge?
43237But what are the facts?
43237But what are the facts?
43237But, pray, what is the"medium,"in these manifestations, but_ a visible human operator_?
43237Can a man be without the law, and yet, touching the law, be blameless?
43237Could not_ four_ respectable ladies tell whether they were_ actually_ carried through the air on a pole or_ not_?
43237Do facts go to show that more disasters occur on this day than on any other?
43237Does God part with the reins of his government, and employ wicked spirits to torment his creatures on this day?
43237Does he make this day more unpropitious to human affairs than others?
43237For a long time, answers could be obtained by any_ two_( why_ two_?)
43237For who were ever better educated than the ancient Greeks and Romans?
43237Have spirits any navels?
43237His death( if he chance to die) has been brought about by evil spirits: who has sent the spirits upon him?''
43237How can that be?
43237How shall the 75 years be made up to bring the end of the world to 1843?
43237I asked it,''Are you unhappy?''
43237I have honored my father and mother; I never stole; what need he to steal who has so good an estate?
43237If you say the animal is sent by God, how will you explain the fact that the sign so often fails?
43237Is the Virgin Mary the mother of God?
43237It must be gotten somehow, for who will believe it as it now stands?
43237Now, does this look as though the answer came from spirits?
43237Now, who could prove that the thing alleged was not_ actually_ done?
43237Now, who has ever been up in the moon to ascertain whether it is so or not?
43237Or, in other words, how shall we best lend a helping hand to hasten the downfall of ignorance, error, and sin?
43237Seeing the evils of popular superstitions, what course shall we adopt for their banishment?
43237Shall we not gather from this, that in the spirit world they have their bands of music and companies of artillery, the same as in this world?
43237She then said,"Will you tell the age of Cathy?"
43237Some one in the company asked,''Is John Thompson alive?''
43237Some will ask the question,"If these things be true, why have we not heard of them before?"
43237The following dialogue then ensued between Mrs. Cooper, her adopted sister, and the young lady:--"''Will you sit close to the table, miss?''
43237The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to- day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play?
43237Then why should we account Friday to be an unlucky day?
43237These sounds were so unusual, that Miss Margaretta Fox, who was present, became alarmed, and said,"What does all this mean?"
43237Treatise after treatise was composed on such subjects as the following: How many angels can stand on the point of a needle?
43237Well, what of that?
43237Were such miracles ever wrought in favor of Millerism?
43237What are his enemy''s fires and incantations to him?
43237What gave that delusion so much success?
43237Whence came such an opinion?
43237Who can say it is not so?
43237Who can wonder that they rise in the morning with wearied limbs, languid and listless, with a furred tongue, parched mouth, and headache?
43237Who sends him on this solemn errand?
43237Why did he not begin the reckoning from the date of the vision itself?
43237Why not as well apply your plaster to a tree as to a pitchfork?
43237Why not as well drink the heart of a lamb as a woman?
43237Why not as well have the touch of a slave as a king?
43237Why should not all mediums be alike?
43237Why was it not then witnessed simultaneously in all parts of the earth?
43237Why?
43237_ Could_ they be deceived?
43237_ Ques._"By whom were you murdered?"
43237_ Ques._"What, then, are you?"
43237_ Ques._"Where does your body lie?"
43237and yet who will_ believe_ that it was?
34825''Are n''t you pretty near ready for breakfast, Stephen?'' 34825 ''Um- m. How do you know?
34825... Well, sir, what is it?
34825A spring night in Kentucky-- hot, damp, starlit-- shall I ever forget that terrible night of_ A Tribute to Art_? 34825 About that dictated letter?"
34825Ah, how should I know? 34825 And did you remember Vhruebert in that fairy luncheon together?"
34825And how did you learn of his coming?
34825And is n''t it great the way the papers treated it? 34825 And so you two have been writing letters?"
34825And what''s that big dug- out thing behind?
34825And you really think Pelée may not hold out?
34825And you will not go to the wine- shop, before you see me-- in the morning?
34825And-- you are able to ride?
34825Are you going?
34825Before I got to the gate where the star- stuff passes through?
34825Bob,he called down shakily,"have you got any whiskey?"
34825But have n''t you heard from him?
34825But how can one choose the real, if all are not admitted at first? 34825 But how could you know?"
34825But if I should go far away?
34825But is n''t Melville acknowledged to be the headwaters of inspiration for all later sea- books?
34825But why, oh why, do you always think of me with Bellingham?
34825By the way,Selma Cross retorted,"did you notice that word''love''in either of his recent books-- except as a generality?"
34825Can he not stop that kind of devouring?
34825Can it be that women in general encounter influences-- of this kind?
34825Can you imagine, Paula, that it was an instant of singular glory to me-- that climax?... 34825 Dear Paula, do you think it will really turn out-- that you are to have no relation with Bellingham?"
34825Did any woman ever tell you that you''re rather a mean sort, Quentin Charter?
34825Did ever suicidal genius conceive of corrupting such majesty of force with his pygmy purpose?
34825Did ever the body of a man clog the crater of a live volcano?
34825Did n''t he write?
34825Did you arrange at the post- office to have your mail sent care of the Hotel?
34825Did you get the leviathan alongside and study the bewildering chaos of a ninety- foot nervous system?
34825Did you know I was n''t a Catholic?
34825Do n''t you see, it is the strength you give me!--that girds me to say such things?
34825Do n''t your sentences register?
34825Do you always shape your philosophy to meet the objections of your disciples-- so?
34825Do you happen to know of any reason why an idle ship should not be used for some such purpose?
34825Do you honestly believe that-- that which feels the attraction of earth, and becomes a part of earth after death-- is the stuff of immortality?
34825Do you know that means something-- from a woman like you? 34825 Do you mean that old Villiers paid the night- bird to watch us-- to learn where we went, and possibly what we said?"
34825Do you think hell is worse than this, Ernst, barrin''the effrontery of the question? 34825 Do you think this is big- man stuff?"
34825Early next week, then?
34825Ever been in Pittsburg?
34825Father,Paula said, remembering the words of the washer- woman, as they emerged into the street,"when one is sick of soul-- does one knock here?"
34825Have a little touch, Lafe?
34825Have n''t you discovered that Skylarks are not of the insisting kind-- even when they need new plumage? 34825 Have you the strent'', sir, to do the overhand up the chain?"
34825He had said he loved you?
34825How can he?
34825How far do you go with the_ Panther_?
34825I just wanted to tell you-- Tim will take you back to the city to- night, grateful for the chance, but do you really have to go? 34825 I know no writer by that name-- but how did you know that I did not meet him, Child?"
34825I like the calm, conquering voices of the prophets better.... Immortality of the body?... 34825 I shall go and see what is wanted, Miss Wyndam, and hurry back-- if I may?"
34825I wonder if ever there was a humiliation so artistically complete as mine?
34825I wonder if the long white face with the pain- lit eyes could ever mean to any one else what it does to me?
34825I''ve always wanted to know if you believed-- what an apprentice I really was in love-- give- and- take-- when you came?
34825In other words-- if the mountain wo n''t recede from Miss Wyndam, we''d better snatch up Miss Wyndam and make a getaway from the mountain?
34825Is he well?
34825Is that to the point?
34825Is there really no fact by which his age can be determined?
34825It has been strange to be with you again-- almost like-- those early mornings.... Did you ever hear me calling you--''way off there in the West? 34825 It was always hard for me to call you Wyndam----""Harder to hear, Quentin Charter....""But are you sure you are not badly burned?"
34825It''s altogether too good to be hurt.... Do you realize you''ve never had your hat off in this office?
34825It''s very good of you,he said dully,"but what of my people?"
34825Love me?
34825Magician-- surely?
34825Much that my life has misunderstood is made clear to me-- by this love of yours and his----"''And his,''Father?
34825My dear Paula, you felt the need of me?... 34825 Past all doubt, ca n''t Bellingham turn back?"
34825Pere Rabeaut''s wine- shop in the_ Rue Rivoli_?... 34825 Processes which these poor Islanders could understand?"
34825Some one you know?
34825That was easily believed, Selma----"Then you grant I was n''t acting-- when I gave myself to you?
34825The other reason is not a pretty matter, and doubtless you will call any repugnance of mine an affectation----"Repugnance-- what do you mean?
34825Then the old martyrs and saints who macerated themselves wove great folds of spirit?
34825Then you think it is inevitable that the end of man is-- the clouds?
34825There was a writer here-- a young man very dear to me-- of whom you reminded me at once----"Of whom I reminded you, Father?
34825Vine leaves, indeed,said Paula,"Did M. Mondet tell you he would print this warning?"
34825Was it a man''s way to give me no chance to explain?
34825What are you doing''way up here alone-- in this dreadful suffocation?
34825What are you thinking?
34825What do you make of it, sir?
34825What does the man want?
34825What else would you look for-- here at the very fut av the mountain?
34825What for?
34825What have you been doing with Old Man Pelée, Father? 34825 What is to prevent me from never seeing him?
34825What must it be down in the city-- when we suffer so here? 34825 What relation could I have?
34825What was it, you could not forgive?
34825What?
34825When did you see her last?
34825Where do you live?
34825Who''s Bellingham?
34825Why do you teach only women?
34825Why, what do you mean, Miss Wyndam?
34825Why, yes, Child-- who are you?
34825Will the visitation be repeated? 34825 With all his worldly knowledge, and knowing his own doom, can he not turn back-- far back, a lowly- organized soul, but on the human way?"
34825Wo n''t somebody say something?
34825Wo n''t you tell me about that, too?
34825Would there not be hope-- if he battled with that-- put_ that_ vampirism behind?
34825Yes, I confess I have n''t been so consumed in years----She drew close to him...."It has been dramatic, if not literary, has n''t it?"
34825Yet where can you find such temperamental happiness?
34825You are Miss Linster?
34825You attended the first of my Prismatic Hall lectures ten days ago?... 34825 You do n''t actually believe-- to the contrary?"
34825You do not believe in the wild torrents, the forked lightnings, and the shocking thunders of the poets?
34825You have been impelled to go to him, Paula?
34825You mean because I spoke of another writer?
34825You mean volcanic ash?
34825You regard this as an entertainment worth waiting for?
34825You say he was drinking-- when you knew him?
34825You think, then, that the spirit grows as the body wastes?
34825You thought much of him then, Father Fontanel?
34825You what?
34825You what?
34825You''ll stay a day or two, wo n''t you?
34825''What was it, once more, that you mean to do?''
34825*****"Did you follow_ Moby Dick''s_ whale tracks around the wet wastes of the world?"
34825... Do you know, I really like to write to you?
34825Add to this, a woman who has come up from the dregs-- for years in the midst of the slum- blooms of the chorus?
34825Am I given the present serenity as a resting- time before meeting a more subtle and formidable enemy?
34825And I know that the wolves shall have been slain, when he comes again----""And the angels, Father?"
34825And the great work?
34825And what of Skylark, the lovely, the winged?..."
34825And who can say that his royal mate will not laughingly unfold wings for him, when they stand together in the radiant altitude?
34825Are there fangs and hackles and claws which I have not yet uncovered?
34825Are you going-- beyond New York?"
34825Are you hurted, sir?"
34825Are you sure he can not prove that false?"
34825As for Madame Nestor, might she not have reached a more acute stage of a similar derangement?
34825Bellingham was calling:"Come to me-- won''t you come and help me in my excellent labors?
34825Bellingham?...
34825But are not these great forces splendid fuel for the mind?
34825But do you mean that now when you do n''t need him any longer-- you told him to go away?"
34825But it is n''t altogether a novelty, is it, for the mountain to behave this way?"
34825But would n''t it be rather severe on the other boys and girls, if the usual formula of perpetuating self is used?
34825By the way, did you hear what happened yesterday, during the darkness and racket while we were at dinner?"
34825Ca n''t you see how it hurt when he turned out to be-- well, that name you refuse to utter?"
34825Can you imagine a colder reception?
34825Did not the latter still dip here, there, and everywhere in the occult and weird?
34825Did she pass on the street men and women in whom the process of soul- starvation was complete or completing?
34825Did some one send for you?"
34825Did you see it?"
34825Do I wake or sleep?"
34825Do n''t you remember, the greatest moment of all-- coming downstairs, partly dressed, into the room_ They_ had made ready?
34825Do you know that we live in the time of a spiritual high- tide?
34825Do you remember the rock in the desert on which you sat and waited long ago?
34825Do you think I can not resist?"
34825Do you wonder that the life from which you have risen to one of the regnant queens has become inseparable in my mind with shuddering aversion?"
34825Does any one happen to know who owns the beautiful ship in the harbor?"
34825Does it not seem very clear to you?...
34825Faintly her heart answered, but quickly,"Yes, if they are forever nameless....""Specific abandonments?"
34825Flowers bloom to catch a bug-- such girls, to catch a man-- perpetuate-- oh God, what for?
34825From the number, I think you must overlook the Park-- don''t you?...
34825Had New York called him?
34825Has my vitality miraculously been preserved for some final battle with a champion of champions of the flesh?
34825Have you a drop left in the heel av the flask, Adele, dear?"
34825Having consented to the trick,_ might she not be listening_?...
34825Her inward joy was to study in Peter Stock the unacknowledged influence of Father Fontanel-- or was it an unconscious influence?
34825How far do you go with the_ Panther_?"
34825How shall she repay man for brutalizing her so long?"
34825How strange, I have always thought of you so?
34825How very strange that you should have heard what I said.... You will join one of his classes, I presume?"
34825I am near.... Come to me, Paula Linster, of plentiful treasures.... Do you not see the open way-- how near I am?
34825I ask you, how is a woman, for the first time alone with a man-- to know that he is different from other men?
34825I ask you-- how did I know he was an exception-- rather than the rule among the Glowworms?"
34825I have symbolized the whole struggle of our race in your personal struggle-- don''t you see this, Paula?...
34825I mean, would he not have to restore his vitality from the others?"
34825I said I was celebrating for two things----""Pray, what is the other?"
34825I wanted to ask if it ever occurred to you that even the_ Morne d''Orange_ might fall into the sweeping range of Pelée''s guns?"
34825I wonder if there ever was a fight that can match mine?
34825I wonder if there is any authority or precedent for such a hope?"
34825I would n''t open any letter from Danube now-- but he shall have his chance----""What do you mean to do?"
34825I''d better get her ready, had n''t I, sir?"
34825If you interest them sexually-- they will hear what you have to say----""Is n''t that a reckless talk?"
34825Inscrutable, but thrilling-- isn''t it, my dear Paula?"
34825Is he not bright and clean and pretty?
34825Is it because the sting is gone from my scar- tissues that I feel so strong and so white to- night?
34825Is n''t it a dear world?"
34825Is n''t it glorious?"
34825It always spoils-- oh, what am I saying?
34825It had been a hard moment for her, but he sprang high among the nobilities of her heart, and was sustained.... What if it were just a throat- singing?
34825It is not well to be a day late...."And did you notice how Felix Larch uncoiled?"
34825It is quite possible that the values of my instruction are over- estimated by many.... Do you mind if I sit down a moment?
34825It would not do, not to go to Father Fontanel-- would it?"
34825Listen, Paula, to New York below-- treading the empty mill of commerce----""New York has not chosen yet?"
34825Macready questioned, and added in a ghost''s whisper,"with the fairest of tin thousand waitin''at the top?"
34825Many times she asked:"Where is the undiscovered master of my heart?"
34825Might she not have something to do with the projectiles of Desire?
34825Might she not have watched for him or be near him now?
34825Mine is a lineage of Kentucky poor white trash, who knows, but a speck of''nigger''?
34825Mondet?"
34825My dear young woman, does n''t a ride on the ocean sound good for this afternoon?
34825My launch is at the Sugar Landing.... On second thought, I''ll go back down- town with you.... Miss Wyndam-- later in the day-- a chat with you?"
34825No other man suffices----""But why-- why do you prepare_ me_?
34825Oh, why must we keep our gods so far away-- lest we lose them?
34825Ointments and bandages were applied before the owner said:"We must be getting pretty close in the harbor?"
34825One thought apart from these effects, Paula could not shake from her mind: Were there human beings with dead or dying souls?
34825Only at its highest speed does the top sing its peace with God.... Had not the finest glow of his powers been reserved until her coming?...
34825Or must there always be this dim, hurting thing?
34825Paula exclaimed...."You think this Bellingham has made the evil choice?"
34825Pelée''s muzzle is turned toward the city----""I sent you many cheers and high hopes-- did they come?"
34825Portions of some of the later letters follow: Did you know, that without the upward spread of wings-- there can be no song from the Skylark?
34825Shall I show you?"
34825Shall I tell you what added thought came to me, as you crossed the floor so unsteadily-- looking so white?"
34825She called him back,"Come and see me-- at my best-- at the_ Herriot_--won''t you?"
34825She had found an old picture of his in a magazine and commented on it deliciously...."I wonder if you think of me as I am-- plain,_ plain_?"
34825She noted the instant contraction of his brows, and shrank inwardly at the hard, rapid tone, with which he darted the question:"Are you a Catholic?"
34825Should she not be thankful that a beyond- devil had been required to test her soul?
34825So_ A Damsel Came to Peter_?"
34825Some brivate vire of yours?''
34825Some time-- who knows?
34825Stay, wo n''t you please, and share a bite of supper with me, Madame Nestor?
34825Stay, wo n''t you?"
34825Still, do n''t you see it-- how wonderful was your victory to- day?"
34825Stock?"
34825Tell me, can scar- tissue ever be so fine?
34825That moment, before you actually see-- just as you enter the mingled dawn and fire- light and catch the first glisten of the tree?...
34825The American''s further activities unfolded:"By the way, have you been reading the French paper here--_Les Colonies_?"
34825The club type she preferred to know from a sort of middle distance...."Wo n''t you, please?"
34825The critic grasped the low shoulders of a bald, thin- lipped acquaintance, exclaiming:"Where did you get that diadem, Lucky One?"
34825Then he heard:"What is this dripping darkness?"
34825Then she uttered an unforgettable question:"_ Can a tiger eat grains?_"Vast ranges of terrible understanding were suggested.
34825There is a dress- maker-- and_ we_ breakfast together.... Root for me-- for us, to- night-- won''t you, dear girl?"
34825There shall be no note from me----""But did you write to him, Paula?"
34825There was a low, husky laugh, and then plainly these words:"She makes your goppers sizzle-- eh?...
34825There was a mystery left upon the face by the intervening years,"while the tireless soul etched on...."Should she ever know?
34825There was a suggestion of world- wisdom here, or was it world- wear?
34825There''s no fun in giving something you do n''t want.... Are you going to hear Bellingham to- night?"
34825They left her in a dark-- that was madness.... And if they were false, what was the meaning of her exaltations?
34825This is certainly Ash- Wednesday, is n''t it?"
34825Through the ends of these two, had some essential balance of power been preserved in the world?
34825To what god or devil had he sold his soul that he was thus condemned to eternal scrivening?
34825True, as man and woman, they had made no covenant, but to her( and had he not expressed the same in a score of ways?
34825Vite- Apron?''
34825Was it all the etching of the_ soul_--that this later print revealed?...
34825Was it not good to live, since the sun was trying to shine again and the mountain did not answer the ringing of the bells?
34825Was n''t it monstrous?"
34825We shall_ remember_ then.... And so you live alone?
34825What can happen to a body that continually makes of itself a lying instrument?
34825What could a mind like his_ not_ build about months of communion( eyes and ears strained toward flashing skies) with a Skylark ideal?...
34825What does this mean-- this desire of woman to bring out the latent powers of a stranger''s child?
34825What law, human or divine, was disordered by two human grown- ups with clean minds communing together intimately in letters?
34825What other purpose could he have?
34825What right had she to say that the world- mind was in error and she normal-- she and the unreckonable Madame Nestor?...
34825What, thin, must it be in that pit of destruction?"
34825Where is his valor now, his taking of cities, his smiling deaths for honor?
34825Why should he rush off alone?
34825Why was he so eager for the dawn?
34825Wing often to my window-- won''t you?
34825Wo n''t you let me hear at once, please?
34825Would she ever write again?...
34825Would the City crush him into a trifler, with artificial emotions, or was this a Daniel come to interpret her evil dreams?...
34825You bring the thing home to a room in a New York apartment... Ca n''t you see how hard to adjust, this is?
34825You have come wonderfully and differently into the glare, but let me ask where is Martha Boardman to- night-- a few short years later?"
34825You know him?"
34825You see how I could have spoiled_ The Thing_ last night-- if I had let the passion flood through me like a torrent through a broken dam?
34825You two have had me soaring.... Charter, you do n''t mean to tell me you called Miss Wyndam to meet you in the wine- shop?"
34825You will be here in the morning-- the first thing in the morning?"
34825You work while we sleep-- eh?
34825You, who used to be-- singing flames?"
39906A dragon?
39906A whisky- and- potash?
39906After what you have seen of the rest of the house, this strikes you as being more homelike, does it not?
39906An end of what?
39906And at what hour was that?
39906And does he know that you have come to me now asking me to forgive?
39906And how long will you be here?
39906And knowing that, you would still wish me to pardon him?
39906And now that he has asked you to call upon him what are you going to do?
39906And now that you have plotted and planned, and suffered so much to obtain possession of this book, what use has it been to you?
39906And pray who may Miss Trevor be?
39906And the neatest?
39906And those conclusions were?
39906And what about the other fellow?
39906And what do you think of it, my friend?
39906And what were his first words to her?
39906And you have seen the miserable result?
39906And you help them?
39906And you think I may be able to help you?
39906And you think we shall be there in time to prevent the meeting?
39906And you will come?
39906And you would allow her to die for the sake of a few paltry pounds?
39906And you?
39906And your reply would be?
39906And your wife? 39906 Are you aware that Sir Richard Hatteras was here on the same errand this afternoon?"
39906Are you aware when he will return?
39906Are you quite sure that you have had a pleasant day?
39906Art thou sure''twill be safe, love?
39906As you are such a globe- trotter,I said,"I suppose there is scarcely a portion of the world that you have not visited?"
39906At what time do you dine?
39906But I should like to know, how is he going to marry the best wife in the world?
39906But I was bound to come-- don''t I tell you I could not remain away? 39906 But how do you know the Don is such a good shot?"
39906But now that you know it, can you not avert it?
39906But surely you do n''t suppose that what happened in this room upwards of three hundred years ago could have any effect upon a living being to- day?
39906But what does it all mean, Dick?
39906But what have I done wrong?
39906But what is the letter about?
39906But what possible misfortune could befall you?
39906But what would you ask of me?
39906But who are they?
39906But will it not be necessary for you to take some drugs with you?
39906But you have not told me where you are living now?
39906By the way, I suppose you saw what took place back yonder?
39906Ca n''t you?
39906Can not we persuade you to give us a little more of your society?
39906Can not you guess?
39906Confound you,he answered;"why do you talk like that?"
39906Could I do otherwise?
39906Dear girl,I answered,"are you not a little unreasonable?
39906Did you not notice his manner towards her on the night of our excursion? 39906 Did you not say, only a moment ago, that if he did not know where to find the best wife in the world he was unfit to sit in the House of Lords?
39906Did you not see that she preferred my company to his?
39906Do n''t you know me, Dick?
39906Do n''t you think we had better bid each other good- night?
39906Do you mean the fellow who shot those unfortunate young men?
39906Do you mean to say,I asked,"that you really think that in time it will be possible for us to see things which at present we have no notion of?
39906Do you think I''m going to drink whisky on the night that she has accepted me? 39906 Do you think it will please her to remember that she owes her life to_ me_?"
39906Do you think she will do that?
39906Do you think she will forgive me?
39906Does it not seem that you can hear them now? 39906 Does it require so much bravery, do you think?
39906Don Josè de Martinos?
39906From the way you speak it would appear that_ you_ do not care for Martinos?
39906Good gracious, man!--then why are you so downcast?
39906Good gracious,I cried, in well- simulated amazement,"why on earth to Nikola?"
39906Had not what happened?
39906Has he grown any more commonplace, think you, since you last saw him?
39906Have I not pledged you my word that your friend shall not be hurt? 39906 Have you a gondola below?"
39906Have you any objection to raise, Duke?
39906Have you been long in Venice?
39906Have you enjoyed it, Hatteras?
39906Have you met Doctor Nikola lately?
39906Have you not noticed that they_ both admire Gertrude Trevor_?
39906He does n''t surely suppose she is going to ask him?
39906He is a gambler, then?
39906How could you treat the poor fellow so badly?
39906How do you know that Nikola admires her?
39906How do you know that she is ill?
39906How do you know where the meeting is to take place?
39906How is the patient this morning?
39906How long ago it seems, does it not? 39906 How long do you contemplate remaining in Venice?"
39906How shall we ever be able to reward you, Nikola?
39906How should I know it?
39906I presume you mean because I refuse to allow him to flirt with my wife?
39906I trust I have not tired you?
39906I trust you are looking forward to your excursion, Miss Trevor?
39906If it is the Lord''s will that I lose her, what can I do but submit?
39906If you are proceeding in the direction of the piazza, will you permit me to accompany you?
39906Is he teasing you again, Gertrude?
39906Is it likely that I should be angry with you, Miss Gertrude?
39906Is it likely that I should think of going there just now? 39906 Is it permissible to ask where you are staying?"
39906Is n''t it nice to see them together?
39906Is she asleep, or have you brought your diabolical influence upon her?
39906Is she usually of an excitable disposition?
39906Is your master not well?
39906It was this,she answered--"''_Remember that I have forgiven; it is for you to forget._''What could he have meant?"
39906Lady Hatteras, may I help you into the gondola?
39906Look, Gertrude, are they not beautiful?
39906Look,she answered,"can you see the table a little to the right of that at which those officers are seated?"
39906May I remind you,I said,"that you have known her barely a week?
39906Might it not be the association that is responsible?
39906Miss Trevor?
39906My God, Dick,he said,"did you see what happened in that room?
39906My dear boy,I said, as we walked along,"why on earth did you do it?
39906My dear little woman,I said in reply,"will nothing convince you that you are playing with fire?
39906Nikola,I said;"you do not happen to have met him, I suppose?"
39906Oh, dear,she began, hesitating in pretended consternation,"is there never to be an end of it?"
39906Otherwise how am I to account for this late call?
39906Our little party of four was so happily arranged, and who knows but that a fifth may upset its peace altogether?
39906Perhaps we might be able to persuade you to give us the pleasure of your company?
39906Perhaps you can tell me which is the Palace Revecce?
39906Perhaps your Excellency would like to see the other Senor?
39906Perhaps, Lady Hatteras, you will permit me to do myself the honour of calling upon you?
39906Poor girl, I wonder what on earth it can be?
39906Pray what part of Central America does he know?
39906Pray who were the people we saw there? 39906 Richard, how can you stand there and say such things?"
39906Shall I take it or shall I not?
39906Sir Richard,she said,"would you mind very much if I were to ask you a most important question?
39906So it has come to this, has it? 39906 So it was only of yourself you were thinking?"
39906So the Senor Nikola has gone away never to return?
39906So you have travelled as far as that, have you?
39906Spoil what?
39906Suffered?
39906Surely that is very singular, is it not?
39906Surely to see him once more could do no harm? 39906 Surely you could not find it in your heart to treat a fellow- creature so?"
39906That would be so nice, would n''t it?
39906Then it was the yacht you were thinking about? 39906 Then why on earth does n''t Martinos keep out of my way?"
39906Then you admit that she was only playing her fish?
39906Then you are not able to give me any encouragement?
39906Those were dear old days, were they not? 39906 To Central America?"
39906To fight a duel?
39906Very likely, but would any man make her happy?
39906Was I to put up with that?
39906Was she surprised when she regained consciousness to find Nikola at her bedside?
39906Well, what is your opinion of Nikola now?
39906What about this dinner at Nikola''s house to- night? 39906 What became of the boy at last?"
39906What could have made the Duke behave like that?
39906What do you mean?
39906What do you mean?
39906What do you mean?
39906What do you say if we run down to Rome next week?
39906What do you say now?
39906What do you say to the invitation?
39906What do you say?
39906What do you think of her condition now, doctor?
39906What do you think of your friend now?
39906What do you think you see?
39906What does he say about her?
39906What has the cat seen in this room that is so strange?
39906What have they to quarrel about?
39906What have you done?
39906What if I do admit it?
39906What if your dream were correct? 39906 What is it can not be possible?"
39906What is it she fears will happen if she goes away from Venice?
39906What is it you have to say?
39906What is it, Henry?
39906What is that?
39906What is the question you wish to ask me?
39906What makes you think that?
39906What news?
39906What of it?
39906What was it?
39906What?
39906When I know that there are?
39906When shall I be allowed to see her?
39906Where is Doctor Nikola?
39906Where on earth have you been? 39906 Who can it be?"
39906Who is the most unlikely person you would expect to see in Venice at the present moment?
39906Who would know of it?
39906Why am I absurd?
39906Why did the woman allow it to continue? 39906 Why do you urge him now to do it?"
39906Why not?
39906Why on earth does he not try his fortune upon the stage?
39906Why should I be? 39906 Why should I be?"
39906Why should I?
39906Why should you? 39906 Why, what is the matter?
39906Will you smile upon him again? 39906 Will you tell me what it is?"
39906Wo n''t you come up- stairs, Sir Richard?
39906Would it be indiscreet to ask what is the matter with the Don?
39906Would it be safe to try Nikola?
39906Would it be such a very mad thing if I did fall in love?
39906Would it not be as well, do you think, for you to preserve those pretty little prevarications until you are in the gondola? 39906 Would you call the man who shot down those innocent young men of Equinata, before their mothers''eyes, a fellow- creature?
39906Would you care to see it?
39906You are determined?
39906You are not worrying about that wretched fellow''s rudeness, I hope?
39906You are perhaps a believer in dreams?
39906You are surprised? 39906 You can give me no explanation, then?"
39906You confess then that the whole business has been one long scheme to entrap this wretched man, and to get him into your power?
39906You have come to the conclusion, then, that I am responsible for that also?
39906You have never been in South America then?
39906You have not asked her, how therefore can you tell?
39906You have other patients?
39906You have saved him?
39906You of course heard how he insulted the Duke?
39906You really wish it?
39906You think so, do you?
39906You were in opposition to Balmaceda, then?
39906''Why on earth does n''t he marry this American?
39906''_ Noch niemand entfloh dem verhangten Geschick._''""And you were brave enough to look?"
39906And for what?"
39906And now, since our cigars are finished, what do you say to bed?
39906And what did you say?"
39906And why should n''t I?
39906And why was so much secrecy observed?"
39906And yet, I asked myself, why should I worry so much about it?
39906Are you also aware that it was at the very moment of his arrival in the house that Gertrude was taken ill?
39906Are you to be tempted to see your own end?"
39906As I had not rung the bell, but had been admitted by the old man- servant, how could he have become aware of my presence?
39906As I looked at the latter I wondered whether Nikola were in the room, and if so, what he was doing?
39906As I understand the Duke of Glenbarth is with you, will you not bring him also?
39906As it is the last time I shall be likely to see him for many years, I feel sure you will not mind my accepting his invitation?"
39906As she had never looked behind her, how had she known this also?
39906At the same time, will you tell me whether you deem it necessary for me to summon her father from England?"
39906But if so, what was he doing here under our windows?
39906But if this were so, why had she chosen this particular house?
39906But why did he let me see it?
39906But why was he coming to us?
39906By the way, have you seen our friend, Don Martinos, since you dined together at my house?"
39906CHAPTER VII"You surely are not going to dine with Doctor Nikola in that strange house?"
39906Ca n''t you picture the pride of that worthy gentleman''s family when they produce the album on Sunday afternoons and show it to their friends?
39906Ca n''t you understand how I feel?
39906Can not you and your wife dine with us to- night?"
39906Can you imagine the scene?
39906Can you not think of anything?
39906Could my dream have been true, after all?
39906Could she be a somnambulist?
39906Could the life you offer me give me the power I possess now?
39906Could the respectability of Clapham recompense me for the knowledge with which the East can furnish me?"
39906Did I not tell you then that our Destinies were inextricably woven together?
39906Did he not cure my child?"
39906Did my eyes deceive me, or was this the man who had accompanied the Police Agent to Nikola''s residence on the previous evening?
39906Did n''t I tell you that those other medicos did not know what they were doing, and that Nikola is the greatest doctor in the world?"
39906Did you not say that he ought to be ashamed of himself if he did not ask her to be his wife?
39906Did you notice his infirmity?"
39906Did you notice with what respect he was treated by everybody we met, and how anxious they were not to run the risk of offending him?"
39906Do n''t you feel a bit nervous about it yourself?"
39906Do n''t you think it would be wiser if you were to stick to plain facts?"
39906Do n''t you think we had better send for the doctor?"
39906Do you agree?"
39906Do you happen to be aware, Dick, that Doctor Nikola called at this hotel at exactly eleven o''clock?"
39906Do you mean to tell me that you live alone in it?"
39906Do you notice how prettily she gives him her hand so that he may help her into the boat?"
39906Do you recall the gusto with which Nikola related it?"
39906Do you remember the story of the Revolution in the Republic of Equinata?"
39906Do you think I am bothering myself at such a time about that wretched Mitchell?
39906Do you think I can not see through it and read between the lines?
39906Do you think Lady Hatteras and Miss Trevor will care about such an excursion?"
39906Do you think that I did not notice the expression that came into your face whenever you looked at him?
39906Do you think that we have returned to the times of the Borgias, and that Nikola will poison us?
39906Do you think you can grant it?"
39906Do you understand?''
39906Does he altogether reside in Venice?"
39906Even if my suspicions were correct what could I do, and what chance could I hope to have of being able to induce Nikola to confide in me?
39906Had he then intended calling to see her, even supposing I had not come to ask his assistance?
39906Had she known the terrible suspicion that was growing in my own mind, I wonder what she would have said, and also how she would have acted?
39906Has she not the second prettiest hands, and the second neatest ankle, in all Europe?"
39906How could I reveal to him the awful fear that was slowly but surely taking possession of me?
39906How could I tell him the thought that was in my own mind?
39906How could she have become aware of this fact?
39906How dare you say, Dick, that I flirt with the Duke?"
39906How did you get here?"
39906How is she now?"
39906How is your wife, how are you, and what sort of holiday are you having?"
39906I believe Lady Hatteras takes my side?"
39906I could not let the Duke and Martinos go alone, so what can I do?"
39906I could sympathize with him, for had I not seen the same thing myself?
39906I do hope that Doctor Nikola and the Duke wo n''t quarrel?"
39906I do n''t want to discourage you, but is not your affection of rather quick growth?"
39906I felt that I needed help, but to whom should I apply for it?
39906I have told you that I love her, do you think there is any chance of her taking a liking to me?"
39906I held open the door for her, and as she passed I said--"You will do what I ask?
39906I hope you are satisfied that I have done all I can in her interests?"
39906I inquired whether his master was at home, and, if so, whether I could see him?
39906I inquired, when I had finished reading,"shall we go?"
39906I suppose there is no fear of his repeating it to- night?"
39906I suppose your man has discovered it by this time?"
39906I then inquired whether Nikola had seen him?
39906I trust Lady Hatteras and Miss Trevor are well?"
39906If not, what were his reasons for so doing?
39906If she had known the truth, I wonder what she would have said?
39906If she has made no other arrangements, at what hour shall we start?"
39906If you will allow me I will call for you, shall we say at half- past eight?
39906In that case what was to be done?
39906In that case, as we monopolized the whole of the corridor, who could it be?
39906Is it so difficult to learn?"
39906Is it your Grace''s opinion that a husband should of necessity take upon himself the properties of a dragon?"
39906Is n''t it splendid of him?''
39906Is the poor dragon to receive nothing?
39906Is your life of so little value to yourself or to your friends, that you try to throw it away in this reckless fashion?"
39906Just to please me?"
39906Let it suffice that there are times even now, when the mere thought of it is sufficient to bring-- but there-- why should I continue in this strain?
39906Like Glenbarth I could only ask the same question-- Why?
39906May not debauchery tell its own tale?"
39906Miss Gertrude, if I may hazard a guess, I should say that you have been dreaming about Doctor Nikola again?"
39906Miss Gertrude, will you not intercede for me?"
39906My dear old Dick, how are you?"
39906Now how am I likely to be able to do so, considering that you''ve told me nothing about it?
39906Now tell me, what is your most pleasant recollection of a meal?"
39906Oh, why did he come here to spoil our holiday?"
39906One was undoubtedly the Don, but who was the third?
39906Perhaps you can not recall that day at Capri?"
39906Should I enter behind her and accuse Nikola of having enticed her there, or should I wait outside and overhear what transpired between them?
39906Since he had owned to it, what was I to do?
39906Surely he did not mean to speak to us?
39906Surely the Authorities of a State which prided itself upon its enlightenment, even in those dark ages, would not have tolerated such a thing?"
39906Surely you will not allow that brave young life to be sacrificed by that Spaniard?"
39906Take another week, or shall we say a fortnight?
39906That we shall be able to look into the world we have always been taught to consider Unknowable?"
39906The other doctors do n''t like my interference, I suppose?"
39906The writing will not be suspected, and I will drop it in the Lion''s Mouth myself,--and then?"
39906Then he added, with what was intended to be a touch of sarcasm,"I hope you have spent a pleasant evening?"
39906Then she added,"I wonder what the Duke will say when he hears the news?"
39906Then turning to Miss Trevor, he said,"I hope you will grant me your gracious intercession, Miss Trevor?"
39906Then turning to me he continued,"Do you know who that is?
39906Then turning to me, she added,"You are going to smoke, I suppose?"
39906Then what have you discovered?"
39906Then why allow him to continue in his wrong- doing?
39906There is one thing, however, that puzzles me; how did he become aware of my arrival in Venice?
39906There was not one who did not do her honour, and among the women who were her guests that night, how many were there who envied her good fortune?
39906To prove it, let me ask you how you received that long scratch that shows upon your neck and throat?"
39906Was it kindness that had induced the latter to take him in?
39906Was it possible that Glenbarth was jealous of Nikola?
39906Was it true, as he had said, that in his hour of distress Nikola had afforded him an asylum?
39906Was she mad that she did not summon assistance?
39906Was she quite sure that she was comfortable?
39906Was this a trick of Nikola''s, or had her terrible dreams taken such a hold upon her that she was not responsible for her actions?
39906Well, what do you want me to do?"
39906What are you doing in Venice, Dick?"
39906What could I do?
39906What could I say?
39906What could be more natural?
39906What did Gertrude Trevor think of it?"
39906What did he say about it?"
39906What difference would it make?"
39906What do you say?"
39906What do you think his appearance in Venice means?"
39906What do you think is the reason of it?"
39906What do you think of that?
39906What do you think of that?"
39906What do you think will happen to me?
39906What does Schiller say?
39906What does she say?"
39906What does the doctor say is the matter with her?"
39906What have you to say to my proposal?"
39906What if I do admit the truth of all you say?"
39906What is it?"
39906What is the use of my waiting even a week when I know my own mind already?"
39906What is this man to you that you should befriend him?
39906What on earth have you to be so unhappy about?"
39906What was I to do?
39906What were we going to see next?
39906What would my position be if Nikola''s presence should exercise a bad effect upon the patient, or if he should decline to render us assistance?
39906What would they have said and thought?
39906What, therefore, am I to believe?
39906When they had gone, Nikola, who was standing at the window, turned to me, saying--"What do you think of my conjuring?"
39906Where is he now?"
39906Who do you think is in Venice?"
39906Who is she?"
39906Who knows that better than yourself?
39906Who was Nikola''s mysterious caller, and what made him come at such an hour?
39906Why had Nikola invited the Don to his house?
39906Why had he shown him the picture of that terrible crime?
39906Why not leave this terrible gloom?
39906Why on earth does that troublesome man come between them?"
39906Why should I be so anxious to interfere on the wretched Spaniard''s behalf?
39906Why should I not be able to make her happy?
39906Why should he not be punished as he deserved, and why should not Nikola be his executioner?
39906Why should he?"
39906Why should it not be done?
39906Why should the fact that he was so doing produce such a result?
39906Why should you attribute Miss Trevor''s illness to Nikola''s courtesy to our friend the Don?"
39906Why?
39906Why?
39906Why?
39906Why?
39906Will you excuse me if I go down and find out the meaning of it?"
39906Wo n''t you come and dine with us?"
39906Would Miss Trevor like another cushion?
39906Would she have preferred a gondola to a barca?
39906Would you therefore have me suppose that it was on account of his arrival that you were taken ill?
39906Yet I feel that I am hiding so much-- can you understand what I mean?"
39906Yet, I had to ask myself, if he were in Nikola''s employ, why should he have been anxious to do so?
39906You do n''t mean to say that you have seen Nikola again?"
39906You seemed to be very keen on going last night; are you of the same mind this morning?"
39906You will make an allowance for me, will you not?"
39906You wo n''t tell Lady Hatteras, will you?"
39906You would?
39906You''ll take a revolver with you of course?"
39906_ The house to which I had followed her was the Palace Revecce, and she was on her way to Nikola!_ But for what reason?
39906and if so, why was the latter doing so?
39906he said, moving forward to greet her,"what does this mean?
37775A geyser?
37775A walrus?
37775A whale?
37775Ah,he said;"then you wish to modify your assertion-- you only believe what others have seen?"
37775Am I destined to deal with these problems?
37775Am I not speaking? 37775 Am I to infer from your remarks that, in the course of time, man will be able to economize this force, and adapt it to his wants?"
37775Am I to leave you?
37775And I am not to receive the remainder of your story?
37775And I have been referred to you as a conscientious scientific teacher,I said;"why do you speak so facetiously?"
37775And am I really to take an important part in this scheme? 37775 And heat?"
37775And is that all that could be learned?
37775And may I go? 37775 And so you believe only what you see?"
37775And that my experience was illusory, the result of vertigo, or some temporary calenture of the brain?
37775And what of gravitation?
37775And why should n''t you?
37775And you make this assertion, and then ask me to go no further into the subject?
37775Are pain, pleasure, and living, imaginary creations?
37775Are still greater wonders before us?
37775Are we nearing humanity again?
37775Are you not mistaken?
37775Are you ready to challenge my statements?
37775Are you ready to listen?
37775Are you sure that my guide did not lead me through the space between the bubbles?
37775Are you sure?
37775Are you to be mine?
37775Are you willing to relinquish your former associations, to cease to concern yourself in the affairs of men? 37775 Back, I say, back to earth, or--""Or what?"
37775Binding me to an oath of secrecy?
37775But I have understood that drunkenness is a vice inherent only in civilized people; are not you mistaken?
37775But do you expect to extend your call until morning?
37775But we approach the earth''s surface? 37775 But what are you?"
37775But where can I find such works? 37775 But why are you here?
37775By what authority do you make this assertion?
37775Can any man prove either of these premises?
37775Can not you understand that I have led you continually down a steep descent, and that for hours there has been no step upward? 37775 Can not you understand that you are not now on the surface of the earth?
37775Can philosophers more than speculate about that which they have not experienced if they have no data from which to calculate? 37775 Can that be a surface of water?"
37775Can this oscillation ever end? 37775 Can you not tell me, comrade, how long our journey will last?
37775Could you then have snapped a pencil? 37775 Did I assert,"he questioned,"that your experiences were scattered over that entire period?"
37775Did not Shakspeare write,''There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy''?
37775Did the aborigines know how to make intoxicants, and were barbarians intemperate before contact with civilized nations?
37775Did what?
37775Did you ever calculate the tensile strength of the material from which you blew the bubble?
37775Did you ever observe a bubble resting on a bubble?
37775Did you ever place a pipe- stem in a partly filled bowl of soap water, and by blowing through it fill the bowl with bubbles?
37775Did you ever see Greenland?
37775Did you not question the possibility of the description I gave of my grotesque drunkards, and of the form of my subterranean guide?
37775Disturbances of what?
37775Disturbances of what?
37775Do any of the subjects of our dreams or visions leave tangible evidences of their presence?
37775Do you accept my history?
37775Do you assert that the prism is capable of only partly analyzing the sunlight?
37775Do you dispute the assertion seriously?
37775Do you give up?
37775Do you know that I perceived between you two men an unconscious display of mind- language, especially evident on your part? 37775 Do you know,"I interrupted,"that if these statements were made to men they would not be credited?
37775Do you mean that, among men, there are a few persons possessed of powers such as you have mentioned?
37775Do you not remember that you ceased to respire, and were not conscious of the fact?
37775Do you not see that the stone recedes from beneath us, that we stand on the edge of a wedge overhanging bottomless space?
37775Do you say that the atmosphere is composed of substances unknown to man?
37775Do you take me for a fool?
37775Dried bed?
37775England?
37775Exactly at the earth''s exterior surface?
37775France?
37775Has any man of your acquaintance seen the middle of Africa?
37775Has liquid iron strength?
37775Have I not demonstrated that, by properly connecting the liquids, the lighter flows into the heavier, and raises itself above the former surface?
37775Have I won the wager?
37775Have not I strength?
37775Have not men demonstrated, and is it not accepted beyond the shadow of a doubt, that sound is produced by vibrations of the air?
37775Have others overcome the instinctive terrors to which you allude?
37775Have you not already investigated some of the statements I previously made?
37775Have you not occasionally felt,he asked,"that in your former life your mind was a slave in an earthly prison?
37775Have you not read history? 37775 Have you seen the stomach of any of your friends?"
37775Heat, light, electricity?
37775How am I to descend into that abyss?
37775How can I believe you?
37775How can a thin stratum of water give rise to a volcanic eruption?
37775How can there be others here?
37775How do you explain the fact that incidents occupying a large portion of the night, occurred in an interval which you describe as a flash?
37775How long does it require for pure prussic acid to produce its physiological action?
37775How long shall we continue in this carriage?
37775How long will this continue?
37775I beg of you, I implore of you, not to abandon me now; have you no compassion, no feeling? 37775 Iceland?"
37775In what else than energy( sunshine) does it differ from food?
37775In what respect?
37775Is it as strong as before?
37775Is it not self- evident that a fountain can not rise above its source?
37775Is it still matter?
37775Is it the material of the iron, or is it the energy called heat that qualifies the strength of the metal? 37775 Is manure a food?"
37775Is not manure matter?
37775Is not the truth, the truth?
37775Is not this delightful?
37775Is not this experiment a natural one?
37775Is not this matter?
37775Is not this salt?
37775Is that a mortal?
37775Is there a madman who does not imagine, as facts, what others agree upon as hallucinations peculiar to himself? 37775 Is there any argument that can be offered to controvert the assertion that man is ignorant of many natural laws?"
37775Is there any danger to the earth itself? 37775 Is there any doubt that a force, distinct and separate from matter, influences matter and vivifies it into a living personality?"
37775Is this another hallucination?
37775Is water, then, the universal cause of volcanoes?
37775Listen, does not my voice resemble that of your escaped prisoner?
37775Listen,he said,"have you not observed that these creatures do not seek to harm you?
37775May it not become a food again, as the part of another plant, when another season passes?
37775Mine forever?
37775Misery of what?
37775Motion of what?
37775Must I go with you into an unknown future without a farewell kiss from my little child or from my babe scarce three months old?
37775My God,I shouted,"what have I done that you should murder me?"
37775No,I said musingly;"she is a creature of other climes; the Scriptures tell of no such being; she is neither human nor angelic, but--""But what?"
37775Now, do you see the reflection?
37775Of what are they composed?
37775Or all possible narcotics?
37775Rapid motion produces friction, I believe?
37775See; is not the shadow flattened, as your earth is, at the poles?
37775Shall I proceed?
37775Shall I proceed?
37775Shall I teach them of what you have shown me?
37775So you think that I am in need of out- door exercise?
37775Suppose two such globes of energy, covered with dust, were to be telescoped or attached together, would you marvel at the fact?
37775Tell me, then, could you not have performed this experiment in my room, or in the dark cellar of my house?
37775Tell me, what is this barrier?
37775Tell me,I cried in alarm,"is this to be a living tomb?
37775Tell me,I said,"how long will those beings rest in these caverns?"
37775That would be dangerous,I answered;"can not we descend at some point where it is not so deep?"
37775That your heart had stopped beating, your blood no longer circulated, while you were in ignorance of the change?
37775The back of your head?
37775The center of the earth?
37775The material is the same, is it not?
37775The opposite side of the moon?
37775The soul of man?
37775Then I can return if I so elect?
37775Then what have you gained by your stupid perversity?
37775Then why should you have expected any of them to describe our surroundings? 37775 Then you do not believe that Africa has a midland, the earth a center, the moon an opposite side, man a soul, force an existence?"
37775Then you do not believe that these conditions, countries, and animals have an existence?
37775Then,said the old man,"how can I use words with established meanings to convey to your senses an entirely new idea?
37775There is no wind to ruffle this aqueous surface,--why should it not be quiescent? 37775 They are certainly very simple; do you accept?"
37775They have no eyes,I exclaimed, forgetting that I spoke to an eyeless being;"how can they see?"
37775This I will surely do; what shall it be?
37775To what do you allude?
37775To what?
37775Well, then, what is to prevent your expected guest from awaiting your return? 37775 Well,"he said, ignoring my remark;"what do you believe?"
37775Well?
37775Well?
37775What can I offer as a retribution?
37775What do you desire?
37775What do you mean?
37775What have I to fear?
37775What have you done?
37775What have you done?
37775What if I decide to return?
37775What is food?
37775What is this?
37775What of this ether?
37775What part of the narrative do you question?
37775What shall I call you?
37775What strength has charcoal?
37775What then should prevent this force from existing separate from the body if it be capable of existing in it?
37775What will be the end?
37775What would happen if a crevice in the bottom of the ocean should conduct the waters of the ocean into a deposit of metallic bases?
37775When will that hour come?
37775Where are we now?
37775Where have you been during the wretched epochs that have passed since I last saw you?
37775Where is the bar of iron?
37775Who created the steam engine? 37775 Who has pronounced this sentence?"
37775Who is more free to criticise religion than the materialistic man of science?
37775Who places the infidel in possession of arguments to combat sacred teachings? 37775 Why are they so distorted?"
37775Why call me aught? 37775 Why did not your boat become heated even to redness?
37775Why did you make an appointment at all, in the face of the fact that you not only expected a visitor, but were anxious to meet him?
37775Why did you make an appointment for ten o''clock instead of eight, if you wished to keep away from your apartments?
37775Why do you call me Father?
37775Why does brittle, cold zinc, when heated, become first ductile, and then, at an increased temperature, become brittle again? 37775 Why have you treated me so inhumanly?
37775Why is it,I asked,"that parts of these creatures shrink away as some special organ increases?"
37775Why not give it to such persons?
37775Why not go home and receive your guest in becoming style?
37775Why?
37775Why?
37775Why?
37775Will you inform me concerning the nature of the obstacle I have to overcome, that you indicate by your vague references?
37775Will you tell me how the vibration of any of these bodies impresses the seat of hearing?
37775With great rapidity?
37775Would not your material body have been intact?
37775Would you have me view the soul of man as I would a material being?
37775Would you murder me? 37775 Would you surely know him if you met him?"
37775Yes,I replied;"but tell me further, now that you have excited my interest, have I seen and learned all that man can discover in this direction?"
37775Yes; but can you conceive of any method by which such voluntary motion can now be acquired?
37775You do not mean an exact globe?
37775You have not explained the phenomenon; how does that tympanic membrane communicate with the brain?
37775You have used the term sunshine freely; tell me what is sunshine? 37775 You must admit, however, that it is necessary?"
37775You speak in enigmas; what is this Sphere of Rest? 37775 You trifle with me; I weigh over one hundred and fifty pounds; how have I lost weight?
37775Your stomach?
37775''What is it that animates this frame?
37775A sudden impulse seized me, and I said:"May I ask one question?"
37775After a pause my pilot asked me abruptly:"What do you most desire?"
37775After a time the old man removed the candle from my hand, and said:"Do you accept the fact?
37775Aluminum is a light metal, gold a heavy one; what reason can you offer to explain the facts other than the inadequate term density?
37775Am I not a freeman of America?"
37775And may not their efforts at communication fail because of our ignorance of a language they can read?
37775And why do you doubt?"
37775And yet--""And yet what?"
37775Are not such lakes saline, even though the source of supply is comparatively fresh?
37775Are we to remain suspended here forever, and if not, by what method can we hope to extricate ourselves from this state of perfect quiescence?"
37775Are you ready?"
37775Are you sure that your conceptions of these results are justified by normal perception?
37775Are you willing to go on this journey of exploration?
37775Art thou, Gravitation, a voice?
37775Assuming that you know him, may I ask how long it is since you have seen him?''
37775Attempt to originate an idea, and see if you can escape your word- master?"
37775Before we proceed further, however, can you think of any point on which you need enlightenment?
37775Believe ye that I conceal the art out of envy?
37775Besides, did I not several times in the past bring experimental proof to dispel your incredulity?
37775Besides, why should not science be judged by the rule she applies to others?"
37775But was it a ghost?
37775But what need of many words?
37775CHAPTER L. MY WEIGHT ANNIHILATED.--"TELL ME,"I CRIED IN ALARM,"IS THIS TO BE A LIVING TOMB?"
37775Can any man outline the bridge that connects the intellect with nerve or brain, mind, or with any form of matter?
37775Copper produces green or blue salts; nickel produces green salts; have you ever been told why they observe these rules?
37775Could I not, by some method, convince my friends of my identity?
37775Could any man from the data of my past experiences have predicted such a scene?
37775Could it be possible that I was really so changed?
37775Could not my self- existence be blotted out in like manner?
37775Could you even have blown the down from a thistle bloom?"
37775Could you have broken a reed?
37775Did I assert that he had never lived among mortals of upper earth?
37775Did I fancy, or was it real?
37775Did I not tell you that after the fact had been made plain it was easy to see how Columbus stood the egg on its end?
37775Did I say that he was always a cavern being?
37775Did you ever stop to think that the mind can not now bring to the senses the configuration, or nature, of the substance in which mind exists?
37775Did you not obligate yourself before man, and on your sacred honor promise to preserve our secrets?"
37775Did you not voluntarily ask admission into our ancient brotherhood, and in good faith were you not initiated into our sacred mysteries?
37775Did your''philosophy''never lead you to think of this?"
37775Do you accept that material bliss is impossible, and that while humanity is working towards the undiscovered land, man is not, can not be satisfied?"
37775Do you conceive my meaning?"
37775Do you consent?"
37775Do you know, Mr. Cicero, that this statement is not sound?
37775Do you mean to assert that I can not think without using words?"
37775Do you not hear them?
37775Do you see what you think you see?
37775Each volume adds to the oppression, each old tome casts the influence of its spirit over the beholder, for have not these old books spirits?
37775HEARING WITHOUT EARS.--"WHAT WILL BE THE END?"
37775Had I not alternately begged for and then cursed each gift of God?
37775Had I not prayed for heat, cold, light, and darkness, and anathematized each?
37775Had I not previously, in the most solemn manner, before these words had been imparted to my keeping, sworn to keep them inviolate and secret?
37775Had not my peculiar habits of isolation, irregular and intense study, erratic living, all conspired to unseat reason?
37775Had the old book some mesmeric power?
37775Have I been set apart to explore a section of the unknown for a bit of hidden knowledge, and to return again?"
37775Have I demonstrated the truth of the assertion?"
37775Have I not been courteous?"
37775Have I not heard your voice, and that, too, since you asserted that we had left the atmosphere?"
37775Have I not suffered enough from your persecutions to make me reject that word as applied to yourselves?
37775Have chemists explained why one object is transparent, and another of equal weight and solidity is opaque?
37775Have chemists told you why the prism disarranges or distorts sunlight to produce the abnormal hues that men assume compose elementary rays of light?
37775Have men any data on hand to show exactly how matter is distributed below the limited zone that is accessible to their investigations?"
37775Have not all of them spoken kindly, have any offered violence?"
37775Have we not been permitted to do his bidding well?"
37775Have you forgotten that your motion is continuously accelerated, and that without perceptible exertion you move rapidly?
37775Have you learned that facts are fallacies, and physical existence a delusion?
37775Have you never heard of what men call artesian wells?"
37775Have you never thought of the connected tribulations that the wear and tear of respiration alone inflict upon the human family?
37775Have you never, especially in your dreams, experienced a sensation of mental confinement?"
37775Have you not betrayed your trust, and merited a severe judgment?
37775Have you not shuddered at the crimes recorded in the name of the religions of man?"
37775Have you not taken from me all that men love or cherish, and undone every tie of kith or kin?
37775He explained:"Did you not sometime back experience that your own voice was thrown from your body?"
37775He lowered the weapon, and calmly asked:"Suppose that I had crushed your skull-- where then would be your vaunted strength?"
37775Hearing Without Ears--"What Will Be the End?"
37775How can men so circumscribed construct a new idea or teach a new science?"
37775How could I, unaided, recross that glassy lake, and pass through the grotesque forests of fungi and the labyrinth of crystal grottoes of the salt bed?
37775How does the maple- tree secrete a sweet, wholesome sap, and deadly nightshade, growing in the same soil and living on the same elements, a poison?
37775How does the tree- frog change its color?
37775How else could the will of men and animals impart voluntary motion to earthy bodies?
37775How often are we courageous in daylight and timid by night?
37775How often does one sit in wintry evening musings, and trace in the glowing embers the features of an absent friend?
37775I cried aloud in amazement:"Am I sane, is this a dream?"
37775I stretched out my hand, I leaned over almost into the other vehicle, and earnestly said:"Do you not know me?
37775If not all true, where did fact end and fancy begin?
37775If the man on the seat was a prisoner, why was he so reticent?
37775If these remarkable episodes were true, could there be such a thing as fiction?
37775If you should try to impress on mankind the facts that you have learned in this journey, what would be the result?"
37775In reply to this my mental ejaculation, my guide said:"Can not you perceive that the darkness is becoming less intense?"
37775In this case I unwittingly said:"Why do you say that our language will not permit of clearer conceptions than you give?"
37775Indeed, could it have been a part of time if it were instantaneous?"
37775Is it not rational to suppose it possible for this sequence to be reversed?
37775Is it not true that in the direction in which you question my power, some men by cultivation often become expert beyond their fellows?
37775Is it true that by mental cultivation a new sense can be evolved whereby darkness may become as light?"
37775Is not man capable of following where animals lead?
37775Is not man unfortunate in having to risk so much on so frail an organ?
37775Is not that your predicament?"
37775Is not the day of the allegorical"white elixir"nearly at hand?
37775Is other argument necessary?
37775Look at the mud with which I am covered, and consider the return trip which yet lies before me, and which must prove even more exhausting?"
37775Lost in contemplation, I unconsciously asked the mental question:"Where are the shadows?"
37775Many of these specimens are probably thousands of years old, and are still growing; why should they ever die?
37775May it not be riven into fragments from such a convulsion?"
37775May not the greatest scientist be the most apt skeptic?"
37775May you not be in an exalted state of mind that hinders clear perception, and compels you to imagine and accept as fact that which does not exist?
37775Mercury at ordinary temperature is a liquid; can your scientist tell why it is not a solid?
37775Name the student in science who has reached this depth in earth, or has seen a man to tell him of these facts?"
37775Need it have been a part of either second, or of time at all?
37775Now that you have warned me of my doom, do you imagine that anything, even sudden death, can swerve me from my journey?
37775Now what resemblance is there between the vagaries of a hysterical, weak- minded woman, and my case?"
37775On and over the trackless waste of glass- like water we sped, until the dead silence became painfully oppressive, and I asked:"Whither are we bound?"
37775One child has black hair, another brown, a third red; why?
37775One species of turtle has a soft shell, another a hard shell; has your authority in natural history told you why this is so?
37775Or, what assurance have you that he will not encounter you in the street, under circumstances that will provoke or, at the least, embarrass you?"
37775Oscillating Through Space-- The Earth Shell Above Us, 333 L. My Weight Annihilated--"Tell me,"I cried in alarm,"is this a Living Tomb?"
37775Regarding me attentively, he said:"What is it that impels a mortal towards this fruit?"
37775Search your physiology for the answer and see if your learned authority can tell you why the life- current makes these distinctions?
37775Shall the subtle ears of future scientists catch yet lighter echoes?
37775Should I permit the slender youth to carry me away as a prisoner?
37775Should productions of surface earth have a monopoly of nature''s methods, all the flavors, all the perfumes?
37775Silver is sonorous, lead is not; why these intrinsic differences?
37775Some nerve excitants known to you act slowly, others quickly; why not others still instantaneously?
37775Such an answer evades the issue; why do they so readily exert this action?
37775Suppose that a vicious life were ended, could it escape the inevitable critical point?
37775Surely the pressure of a gas in confinement is the same in all directions, is it not?"
37775That earth- bound science is science only with surface- earth men?
37775That it is a contradiction in itself, for if a man is alone he is alone, and that settles it?"
37775That it is unworthy the position you occupy in history as a thinker and philosopher?
37775The guide seized me by the hand,"Hold, hold,"he cried;"where would you go, fickle mortal?"
37775The past to me is a painful, melancholy recollection; the future is--"I shuddered, for who could foretell my future?
37775Then he added:"Have you accepted that whatever seems to be is not, and that that which seems not to be, is?
37775Then he added:"Is there any other subject you wish to argue?"
37775Then he continued, seemingly not having noticed my personal allusion:"Have you ever seen your heart?"
37775Then, in a smooth, captivating, entrancing manner, he continued:"Can you not see that food is not matter?
37775There is no other object to push against,--but why do you continue to hold me so tightly?"
37775Think you that earth substance really presents an obstacle to the passage of the sun''s energy?
37775Try, if you believe I am mistaken, try to think of any subject outside of words?"
37775U. L."But what has this phenomenon to do with the volcano?"
37775U. L."Have you investigated all possible anæsthetics?"
37775Under stress of his strong alchemic convictions, Thomas Dalton placed his head on the block by order of the virtuous(?)
37775Was there a necessity for this journey, these mysterious movements, this physical exertion?
37775What can be the cause of this phenomenon?
37775What could explain the paradox?
37775What evidence can any man produce to prove that his idea of life is not a madman''s dream?"
37775What had I to do with seven, or seven with me?
37775What is it that enables the nerve in the nose to perform its discriminative function?
37775What is present in a grain of diamond that is not present in a grain of charcoal?"
37775What is the nature of this mysterious halo that surrounds us?"
37775What is your business?"
37775What lies inside to give it life?''
37775What might it be?"
37775What think you, I repeat, becomes of the torrent of light and heat and other forces that radiate from the sun, the flood that strikes the earth?
37775What was I to do with seven?
37775What will be the result of this eventful journey?"
37775What would be the end of this marvelous journey?
37775What, think you, becomes of the flood of light energy that unceasingly flows from the sun?
37775What, to the mother, can replace the babe that has been lost?"
37775When shall we reach our destination?"
37775Where is it?"
37775Who creates improved artillery, and explosives?
37775Who evolves improved machinery?
37775Who is he?
37775Who would not feel elated at the prospect of an exploration, such as I foresaw might be pursued in my immediate future?
37775Why am I forbidden?
37775Why and how has this been accomplished?
37775Why are the salts of aluminum astringent, the salts of magnesium cathartic, and the salts of arsenicum deadly poison?
37775Why did he not answer my questions?
37775Why did not some kind angel withhold my hand from the rash and wicked deed?
37775Why do the cells of the liver secrete bile, and those of the mouth saliva?
37775Why does any cell secrete anything?
37775Why does the dog lap and the calf drink?
37775Why does the nerve in the tongue respond to a sensation, and produce on the mind the sense of taste?
37775Why does the newly- born babe cry for food before its intellect has a chance for worldly education?
37775Why does the robin hop, and the snipe walk?
37775Why does the vapor of sulphuric ether inflame, while the vapor of chloroform is not combustible, under ordinary conditions?
37775Why is common salt white and charcoal black?
37775Why should this part of the earth prove an exception to the general rule?
37775Why will some substances absorb moisture from the air, and liquefy, while others become as dry as dust under like conditions?
37775Will you never learn that the philosophy of your former life is not philosophy here?
37775Would he speak again?
37775Would not dissolution, so far as the separation of matter and spirit is concerned at its critical point be instantaneous?"
37775Would not that life in its previous journey create its own sad eternity?
37775Would you have me believe that such a being has an existence outside an abnormal thought- creation?"
37775You are thankful that it was all an illusion as you deem it now; what would you think had only the heavenly part been spread before you?"
37775You believe only what_ you_ can do?"
37775You could not make them believe that hundreds of miles beneath, both their vessel and its crew had been reproduced in fac simile, could you?"
37775You discredit Marco Polo?
37775am I free now?"
37775and are you brave enough to meet the trials you have invited?"
37775and had I not deliberately broken that sacred vow, and scattered the hoarded sentences broadcast?
37775and is not the same amount of the same material present in each, a grain of diamond and a grain of charcoal?
37775go forth in my freedom?
37775how did he enter without my notice, and why?
37775no strength?"
37775what is he?
37775what is his business?
37775why did my evil genius prompt me to write it?
37775would it not be best to thrust him aside, if necessary, crush him to the earth?
41071A Brother of the Shadow?
41071A legacy? 41071 A loss of expected money,"he muttered,"and Lucy is ill.""Who is Lucy?"
41071Ah, my young sir, men always call women so before marriage; but what do they call them afterwards?
41071Alice, how can you live here?
41071Am I a fool? 41071 Am I cruel?
41071Am I dealing with a gentleman or a scoundrel?
41071Am I? 41071 And as he is a servant of Christ as you are, what does it matter?"
41071And does he know anything about clairvoyance?
41071And how do you know we have met for the first time to- night?
41071And if I am flirting?
41071And if I refuse?
41071And if I refuse?
41071And if they renounce Self?
41071And the inner teaching?
41071And those who do not find it are lost?
41071And what are we to live on?
41071And what do you say?
41071And what explanation did you give her?
41071And what more do you want?
41071And why not if they get them in the right way?
41071And would you?
41071And you trust me even though you have known me such a short time? 41071 And you understand my position?"
41071And you?
41071And you?
41071And your father?
41071Are any marriages made in heaven?
41071Are they puppets?
41071Are you against me also? 41071 Are you aware that you are speaking to your father?"
41071Are you clairvoyant?
41071Are you ill?
41071Are you so sure? 41071 Are you sure that I make you afraid?"
41071Are you then incomplete?
41071Are you tired of all this, Alice?
41071Are you very angry, Julian?
41071At what price?
41071Better?
41071Brunhild or Brynhild-- what do you call that Norse goddess you said you so admired until you met me?
41071But are there really such men?
41071But can not you tell, Master? 41071 But can religion be proved logically?"
41071But how can that golden heart help?
41071But how do you know?
41071But how was this found out?
41071But if he has more power than you----?
41071But if you would only advise me what to do?
41071But is he guilty?
41071But is it a crime?
41071But the danger which threatens me?
41071But the teaching you are giving me?
41071But what am I to do?
41071But what can the vicar do, Douglas? 41071 But what?"
41071But when are you going to move in the matter?
41071But why has n''t he come to help you?
41071But why not?
41071But why this night of all nights?
41071But you believe in the doctrine of reincarnation?
41071But your father----?
41071Ca n''t you understand, Douglas? 41071 Ca n''t you understand?"
41071Can I not help?
41071Can he do this?
41071Can not you understand? 41071 Can that be done?"
41071Can_ you_ leave your body consciously?
41071Did The Adversary strike you down?
41071Did father send the carriage?
41071Did you attempt to convert him?
41071Did you come after us?
41071Did you guess then?
41071Did you kill Hardwick?
41071Did you make an invisible third at my interview with Cane?
41071Did you strike him down?
41071Did you want me?
41071Do epigrams require explanations?
41071Do n''t I tell you that if I thought your feeling for me was really genuine I should not be so wicked as to risk your unhappiness? 41071 Do n''t you feel fire running through your veins when I touch you, Julian?"
41071Do n''t you see what I mean, Enistor? 41071 Do the Chaldeans worship the Stars themselves?"
41071Do what?
41071Do you accuse me of killing the man?
41071Do you call me a child?
41071Do you indeed? 41071 Do you intend to give him that vitality?"
41071Do you know who the other two people are?
41071Do you like my father for his own sake or for mine?
41071Do you live in the Temple of Mars?
41071Do you mean to kill Hardwick?
41071Do you mean to say that she does not know what she told Narvaez and her father?
41071Do you not see the light that is brighter than the sun?
41071Do you really regard yourself as Christ''s steward?
41071Do you reckon knowledge by Time?
41071Do you reckon knowledge by Time?
41071Do you see Hardwick?
41071Do you see any change in the ground?
41071Do you see me?
41071Do you think he will die to- night?
41071Do you think it right to let Don Pablo give you such presents?
41071Do you think that I have nothing to do but to waste my time in that way? 41071 Do you think that I shall surrender you to him?"
41071Do you think that knowledge should make one happy?
41071Do you think that my looks are due simply to a short season of pleasure in London?
41071Do you want me?
41071Do you wish him to die at all?
41071Do?
41071Does Douglas carry you away?
41071Does any woman ever listen to reason?
41071Does n''t Shelley say something like that in''Adonais''?
41071Does n''t your heart beat nineteen to the dozen: have n''t you the feeling that this is heaven on earth?
41071Does the trouble you predicted come from that quarter?
41071Don Pablo is?
41071Don Pablo? 41071 Elementals?"
41071Every one knows that, do n''t they, doctor?
41071Experienced?
41071Feel anything?
41071For what purpose?
41071Has each Angel a temple?
41071Has he not returned?
41071Has it gone as far as that?
41071Have you any brandy?
41071Have you any proof?
41071Have you come here to measure your strength against mine?
41071Have you come to give yourself up?
41071Have you indeed?
41071He does not follow the Left- hand Path then?
41071He is a friend of yours?
41071He is a man then?
41071He is not dead?
41071He is----"Wo n''t you sit down and explain? 41071 Her best friend?"
41071His murder of me in Chaldea?
41071How are you going to manage?
41071How can I be that when my sister has cheated me in this way?
41071How can I explain? 41071 How can I when I do n''t know why we are enemies?"
41071How can I when the fishing''s been bad and Job ca n''t earn enough to keep things going? 41071 How can that be when you were struck down in your moment of triumph?"
41071How can we get time?
41071How can you ask me to take up such a position when you know that I love you, Alice?
41071How can you bear a fire on this hot day?
41071How can you get the vitality?
41071How can you talk so? 41071 How did he know that I was here?"
41071How did you guess?
41071How do you intend to act?
41071How do you know that I can explain, doctor?
41071How do you know that my father is aware of our engagement?
41071How do you know that?
41071How do you know?
41071How does he know?
41071How is it some people repel while others attract?
41071How long were you in the library?
41071How-- how-- did-- you-- come here?
41071I am a fraud, am I? 41071 I do feel tremendously hungry,"admitted the patient;"and your father?"
41071I do n''t look like a man who is able to enjoy a legacy, do I, Alice?
41071I must if I must,he admitted grudgingly;"there is n''t another man, I suppose?"
41071I see that you do n''t love him,said Douglas, his brow clearing;"but does Hardwick-- that is his name, is n''t it?--love you?"
41071I thought that was spiritual strength?
41071I thought you did not care for the money, father?
41071I wonder what is behind all this amiable behaviour, Julian?
41071I wonder what you mean?
41071I wonder why?
41071I?
41071If I and others did not come to you where would your practice be?
41071If he does n''t mean it, why does he do it?
41071If so, why are n''t you plain with me?
41071If that is the case why do n''t you thwart his schemes?
41071Ill, sir? 41071 Impossible?"
41071In the first place,said Montrose, asking a counter- question,"am I to be arrested for murdering Narvaez?"
41071In what way?
41071In what way?
41071Into_ all_ religions?
41071Is Dr. Eberstein religious then?
41071Is Montrose the other man you spoke of at dinner last night?
41071Is he good- looking?
41071Is he ill?
41071Is he mad to say so?
41071Is he or Narvaez the liar?
41071Is he very powerful?
41071Is it foolish?
41071Is it necessary for you to put that into words?
41071Is it necessary to- night?
41071Is n''t that a selfish way of looking at the matter?
41071Is n''t that rather irrelevant?
41071Is she in danger?
41071Is that a hit at me?
41071Is that all you have to say?
41071Is that so strange?
41071Is that the Squire?
41071Is that the sole reason?
41071Is there a Temple to the Earth- Angel?
41071Job? 41071 Julian, how can you say such a thing?"
41071Let you know who he is?
41071Likewise in other lives?
41071Mr. Montrose being the pear?
41071Mr. Montrose,said the vicar, who looked more solemn than ever and was certainly more stiff,"are you wise to walk through the village just now?"
41071Must I, father? 41071 My father?"
41071My sin?
41071Narvaez rules you, and will you bend to him rather than to the Holy One?
41071Narvaez? 41071 Narvaez?"
41071Need I explain?
41071Not even to save his own neck?
41071Now how can I give you an answer, when you have not the capability of grasping the answer, Julian? 41071 Oh hang him, who is he?"
41071Oh, Alice,in a tone of deep reproach,"do you love him and not me?"
41071Oh, Amy, what about Romeo and Juliet?
41071Oh, Rose, why have you not been up to see me?
41071Oh, doctor, how are you? 41071 Oh, my dear,"said Mrs. Barrast in despair,"what is the use of that?
41071Oh, my dog is showing his teeth, is he? 41071 Oh, what a doubtful compliment,"said Alice gaily;"am I then, or rather was I, an ugly duckling?"
41071Perhaps Job Trevel?
41071Pooh, what has love to do with marriage? 41071 Poor soul, why blaspheme?
41071Rather whimsical, do n''t you think?
41071Say? 41071 Selfish?
41071Shall I permit a fool to triumph over me? 41071 Shall we see my father now?"
41071Should I take it, Miss Alice?
41071Still he may want to escape?
41071Stronger than I am? 41071 Tell me, dear, what does he say to you?"
41071That is the name of Mrs. Barrast''s brother, is it not?
41071The Adversary then is not absolutely certain of success?
41071The enemy''s country?
41071The law of love?
41071The name of the Star- Angel?
41071The question is,''Would Don Pablo marry you?'' 41071 The shadow-- the man?"
41071The whole fortune of your sister?
41071The will----?
41071Then I take it that Eberstein has already declared war by bringing Montrose and Alice together?
41071Then Montrose is not the guilty man?
41071Then Mr. Enistor truly was my enemy?
41071Then he has proposed?
41071Then he has recovered?
41071Then who can have murdered Narvaez?
41071Then why ask him?
41071Then why could we not come together?
41071Then why does your father wish you to marry him?
41071Then why not take up the new life at the point where the old one left off?
41071Then you do n''t want me to ask him to dinner?
41071There is a danger then?
41071There is great room for improvement, is n''t there?
41071There never was such a woman as you are,cried Douglas brokenly,"but oh, my darling heart, how can you love me when I lurk here so shamefully?"
41071They then bring death with them?
41071This is indeed a surprise,smirked the elderly lover, bowing;"are you on your way to see me?"
41071To tempt you? 41071 Was your first impression of him pleasant?"
41071We shall see you again, I hope?
41071Well then,he cried impetuously,"my soul and your soul?"
41071Well then-- all the same?
41071Well, Alice, how are you?
41071Well, Master, what is to be done? 41071 Well, do n''t you think his recovery is wonderful?"
41071Well, sir,said Enistor shortly,"what have you to say for yourself?"
41071Well? 41071 Well?
41071Well?
41071Well?
41071Well?
41071What about Job Trevel?
41071What about her love for this Montrose? 41071 What about her?"
41071What about ourselves? 41071 What about the chronology of the Bible?
41071What are you doing?
41071What are you then?
41071What can I say but that I trust you? 41071 What can they do?"
41071What chance?
41071What did he mention to father?
41071What did she tell you?
41071What do you call proper behaviour on his part?
41071What do you know about him?
41071What do you know of this?
41071What do you mean by temporary?
41071What do you mean by that?
41071What do you mean, Miss Enistor?
41071What do you mean, father?
41071What do you mean?
41071What do you mean?
41071What do you see? 41071 What do you see?"
41071What does a child such as you are know about such things? 41071 What does he say?"
41071What does his consent matter when you have hooked a rich man?
41071What does it all mean?
41071What does it matter what other people think?
41071What does that matter?
41071What else have you done?
41071What game?
41071What has come to you?
41071What has she got to do with it, or with me, or with anything?
41071What have you seen in me to lead you to make so infamous a proposition?
41071What if it does?
41071What is a true marriage, you silly girl?
41071What is it: oh, what is it?

41071What of that? 41071 What of that?
41071What other self is there?
41071What other word can I use to you when we have only known each other for a single week?
41071What will he do?
41071What will you do?
41071What''s he been saying?
41071What''s the row? 41071 What''s the-- the matter?"
41071What, sir, shall the clay say to the potter what it wants to be?
41071What, you know----?
41071What?
41071When did Mrs. Boyce discover the body?
41071When will it be gratified? 41071 Where have you been these last few hours?"
41071Where is Hardwick''s soul?
41071Where is the boasted power of Christ?
41071Where is the life that has been given?
41071Where is the light?
41071Who are they?

41071Who is she?
41071Who is the Father?
41071Who is the Son of Perdition?
41071Who is the man?
41071Who killed him?
41071Who said I was going to get into trouble? 41071 Who saved me?"
41071Who told you that?
41071Who will win, you or Narvaez?
41071Who-- who-- who are you?
41071Whom did you come with?
41071Whom or What do I worship then?
41071Whose hatred?
41071Why are you in the dark? 41071 Why did n''t you let me know?"
41071Why did n''t you let me twist his neck?
41071Why did you save my life?
41071Why do n''t you get a new one?
41071Why do n''t you smash Narvaez?
41071Why do they come together?
41071Why do you use my Christian name?
41071Why has Señor Narvaez done this?
41071Why not say with Douglas?
41071Why not sell all we have and give it to the poor?
41071Why not take his advice?
41071Why not, Mr. Montrose? 41071 Why not, if the knowledge be rightly applied?"
41071Why not, when such personality is myself?
41071Why not? 41071 Why not?
41071Why not? 41071 Why not?
41071Why not?
41071Why not?
41071Why not?
41071Why should I be?
41071Why should I be?
41071Why should I not?
41071Why should it be?
41071Why should it not be?
41071Why should she require discipline rather than a millionaire?
41071Why should sorrow come?
41071Why should they try to rise?
41071Why should you obey him?
41071Why should you want protection, Douglas?
41071Why to- morrow?
41071Why trouble about other people?
41071Why was Señor Narvaez lying on the floor?
41071Why will not the parsons take this teaching?
41071Why, what can I do?
41071Why? 41071 Why?"
41071Why?
41071Why?
41071Why?
41071Why?
41071Why?
41071Will it arise?
41071Will it ever come to light?
41071Will there be no more trouble?
41071Will they harm Alice?
41071Would you do something for nothing yourself, Don Pablo?
41071Would you have married him had he been poor?
41071Would you have me sneak away like a cur?
41071Would you have obeyed him if he had told you to give my father the money?
41071Wrongly used to cure the sick? 41071 You appear to know a lot about these things, Montrose?"
41071You are a priestess in the Temple of Mars?
41071You are sure Alice has n''t suffered?
41071You call him Julian-- Mrs. Barrast''s brother?
41071You can feel my touch, can you not?
41071You dare to set your will against my will?
41071You do n''t pity me?
41071You do n''t regret the loss?
41071You feel it also?
41071You fool, have I no means of searching other than in the physical?
41071You inherit the fortune of my sister?
41071You knew me as what?
41071You know what I am thinking about?
41071You know what took place?
41071You mean her innocence?
41071You mean to have me arrested on a charge of murder?
41071You refused him? 41071 You spoke civilly to me when you thought I had lost my power, did n''t you?"
41071You threaten, do you?
41071You understand what?
41071You will come to Cornwall?
41071You will help me?
41071You wish to speak to me about Douglas, father?
41071Young and handsome and wealthy?
41071Your father is in danger of death, you say?
41071Your father?
41071Your own city? 41071 A nice bribe for you to turn into a silly saint, is n''t it, my friend? 41071 Across his mind flashed insistently the question of Ahab,Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?"
41071Alice laid a trembling hand on his arm;"have you felt that also?"
41071Alice, clinging to Montrose, murmured incoherently:"Do you see Him: do you see Him?
41071Alice, will you give me your arm to my lodgings?
41071Alice, will you----?"
41071All my life I have been lonely: all my life I have wanted to meet you, to adore you, to----""How could you when you did n''t know that I existed?"
41071Although I do not know if you believe in reincarnation?"
41071Am I a genius?"
41071Am I blind?"
41071Am I right?"
41071And if he did not murder Narvaez, who did?
41071And then?"
41071And what had she to do with either of the two men?
41071And who has done service?
41071And why, may I ask?"
41071And why?
41071And why?"
41071Are we free?"
41071Are you about to become a pupil of The Adversary as I suggested when you taunted me in the cottage?"
41071Are you bent upon following the feeble Christianity of Eberstein?"
41071Are you going mad?"
41071Are you not aware that God is the One manifesting Himself in us, the Many?
41071Barrast?"
41071Barrast?"
41071But Julian is at least human, so----""Is n''t Don Pablo human?"
41071But could a peaceful life be built up upon a crime?
41071But do you think it was quite fair of her to leave the money away from her own family?"
41071But do you think it was right that she should leave it away from her relations?"
41071But he''s very nice, is n''t he, Alice?
41071But how had Alice come so swiftly from the cave?
41071But is Señor Narvaez the man to train it?"
41071But of course, dear, if you are jealous----""I-- jealous?"
41071But suppose he does n''t approve?"
41071But what does it matter?
41071But why did n''t you lat her as is to be his wife alone?"
41071But why should you not when it is said,''Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God''?"
41071Ca n''t you see now how wise I was to refuse you?"
41071Can nothing be done?"
41071Can you not trust me?"
41071Children,"Montrose spoke half to himself and half to his companion,"what else?
41071DAWN 386 CHAPTER I LOVE IN IDLENESS"How can any one hope to transfer that to canvas?"
41071Did I not scheme to place this young fool in your power, and did I not do so?
41071Did not one of your poets say:''We mortal millions live alone''?
41071Did you feel anything just now?"
41071Do I not deserve gratitude in return?"
41071Do you believe it, Alice?"
41071Do you hear?
41071Do you hear?
41071Do you hear?"
41071Do you think that during the past three weeks I have left you and that nice boy together without guessing the truth ages and ages ago?
41071Do you think that what I suffered from the darkness last night has exhausted me?"
41071Do you understand now why I insulted Alice so that Montrose might publicly quarrel with me?"
41071Do you understand?"
41071Do you want to see Montrose murder me?"
41071Does he practise love and unselfishness and all the rest of the necessary requirements?"
41071Does not the Great Master tell us to love our enemies?"
41071Eh?
41071Eh?"
41071Enistor?"
41071Enistor?"
41071Enistor?"
41071Good Lord, how can any man be angry with another man, when he knows that his enemy is but a child?
41071Hardwick?"
41071Has Douglas proposed?"
41071Has he said anything?"
41071Has my father asked you down to Tremore?"
41071Have I not rendered you a great service?
41071Have you met the man who wanted to marry Alice?"
41071He believes in reincarnation, does n''t he?"
41071He hinted the other day that he----""Loved you?
41071How can I be?"
41071How can we do that?"
41071How could he do so without a rope and lacking assistance?
41071How dare you insult my daughter yesterday?"
41071How did you do it?"
41071How did you do it?"
41071How did you see these fairies?"
41071How do you do?
41071How do you feel, Alice?"
41071How do you like that, my dear friend?"
41071How many?"
41071How much money have you lost?"
41071How often am I to tell you that it is impossible to hurry things?
41071I advised you to get back your aunt''s money by marriage, did n''t I?"
41071I do n''t know exactly how to put it, but in some way I saw----""Saw what?"
41071I like pretty things, and if an old gentleman gives them to me, where''s the harm, I should like to know?"
41071I?
41071I?"
41071If you loved me, would you have chatted about this, that and the other thing so lightly after I had rejected you?"
41071If you turn to his foolish ways will he save your life?"
41071In the first place, where did you meet my father?"
41071Is age to protect him from being punished?
41071Is he as often at Tremore as ever?"
41071Is it in the library, father?"
41071Is it then any wonder that opposing wills clash, when all are so ignorant?
41071Is that it?"
41071Is your head aching?"
41071It is n''t Lent or any of their confounded Church feasts, is it?"
41071It_ is_ Mr. Montrose, is n''t it?
41071Love on one hand, wealth on the other: which will she choose, do you think?
41071May I see Miss Enistor to comfort her and offer up a prayer in her present sorrow?"
41071Montrose?"
41071Montrose?"
41071Montrose?"
41071Montrose?"
41071Montrose?"
41071Montrose?"
41071Montrose?"
41071My dear, where did you learn such awful nonsense?"
41071My sister has sold me in favour of this-- what do you say his name is?"
41071Oh, my dear,"he went on entreatingly,"is there so much love in the world that you and I can afford to throw what we possess away?
41071Oh, what''s to be done?"
41071Only this can give you power, and will you consent to be a slave in the petty kingdom of this man, which will be destroyed when his measure is full?"
41071Shall I see you again?"
41071Shall I then not come when your life depends upon my coming?"
41071Shall you ask Señor Narvaez?"
41071So the young man is coming to Tremore to be put through his paces?"
41071So you are the spider?"
41071That is so satisfactory, is n''t it?"
41071The question is, will you give me the money to save your neck?"
41071Then it was this Montrose beast who made her change her mind?"
41071Then you admit that I am right?"
41071Then you can give your consent to the marriage----""What about your desire to marry Alice?"
41071Then you see, dear-- oh, Dr. Eberstein, how are you?
41071Then your knowledge is as wide as that of-- shall we say Narvaez?"
41071Then----""Well, what then?"
41071There,"he kissed her hand twice,"is it better, darling?"
41071They''re lots cleaner than engineers, are n''t they?
41071To tempt you, sir?"
41071Was Montrose his victim, or his accomplice?
41071Was he an honest man, or a schemer?
41071Was not the warning given last night in this very room enough to shake your faith in his powers?"
41071Was this another miracle in this life of miracles?
41071We are brother and sister, are we not?"
41071We are friends, are we not?"
41071We quite understand one another, do n''t we?"
41071Well, Don Pablo has been paying great attention to Rose; giving her presents and----""Does she accept his attentions?"
41071Well?
41071Well?
41071Well?"
41071Well?"
41071What about your interview with this lawyer?
41071What can we do with the rest of the evening?"
41071What devil made her change her intentions?"
41071What do you do?
41071What do you know of temptation, or of life at all?
41071What do you mean?"
41071What do you mean?"
41071What do you say to that?"
41071What do you think yourself?"
41071What does her ruin or his matter to you?
41071What does this miserable money matter?"
41071What have you got here?"
41071What have you to say?"
41071What is the matter?"
41071What is the result, Alice?"
41071What is the use of men if they do n''t give us things?"
41071What is there she could tell?"
41071What kind of a blow?"
41071What now?"
41071What of your Master who saved the lives of those past human aid?"
41071What right has he to give her presents and talk about taking her to London?
41071What says the Blessed Son of the Most High God?"
41071What then?"
41071What''s that about the Squire?"
41071What''s the row?"
41071When do you return?"
41071When the people asked:''Who is this Son of Man?''
41071Where did that civilisation come from?"
41071Where is she?"
41071Where is your baggage?"
41071Who are you, and who are those you mingle with?
41071Who can afford to throw a stone at any one?"
41071Who can protect you against me?
41071Who is he?"
41071Why am I cruel?"
41071Why ca n''t you rely on your own strength?
41071Why did you meddle?"
41071Why do you blame me for Alice going to London?"
41071Why do you seek to limit your powers, to circumscribe your knowledge?"
41071Why fence, as if we now meet for the first time?
41071Why not explain more fully?"
41071Why not hide until we can find out the truth?"
41071Why not?"
41071Why should I?
41071Why should an old man of eighty run after a girl of nineteen?"
41071Why should he save one who designed his disgrace; who desired his death?
41071Why should n''t I mean what I say?"
41071Why should n''t my father approve, now that he evidently has given up his idea of my marrying Don Pablo?
41071Why should n''t reincarnation be a great truth?"
41071Why should you help others?
41071Why the deuce could n''t he stay in the next world after taking the trouble to go there?
41071Why?"
41071Will you?"
41071Wo n''t that do harm?"
41071You believe in our having lived before also?
41071You keep certain things from me, so if you are not entirely frank, how can you expect me to aid you?"
41071You know how dull the people are?"
41071You know what work you are appointed to do?"
41071You love me, Alice?"
41071You talk about my having insulted your daughter, Enistor: what about the insult of a married man coming to woo the girl in so shameless a fashion?"
41071You were surprised when your father told you?"
41071Your errand?"
41071answered Alice, very much puzzled by this unusual behaviour;"but why do you ask Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow to dinner?
41071capture my own city?"
41071cried Douglas generously,"can I not see him?"
41071do you know me?"
41071my will has been shattered?
41071said Alice ironically,"does my father call me that?"
41071said Montrose indignantly,"how can you talk so?"
41071she whispered,"that sense of doom and dread?"
