22131 | What, in your opinion,asked Mr. Gourlay,"retards the improvement of your township in particular, or the Province in general?" |
22131 | ***** Was there any connection between these two tragical events: the trial of Robert Gourlay and the death of the Duke of Richmond? |
22131 | --a question which, as Sir Francis himself remarks, amounted in plain terms to this:"Are you for a republican government, or are you not?" |
22131 | But from what class of the community should they be selected? |
22131 | But how if the Government would not be coerced? |
22131 | But there was another important question to be considered: What would the Imperial Government have to say about it? |
22131 | But to whom were they responsible? |
22131 | But, it was asked, what was the Attorney- General about? |
22131 | Had he not made several speeches in the House which had aroused a spirit of inquiry? |
22131 | If he were allowed to continue, was it not inevitable that some of his waspish stings must take serious effect? |
22131 | If they did not agree, what would Mr. Baldwin''s single voice avail against the other three? |
22131 | If they did these things in the green tree, what would they do in the dry? |
22131 | Might it not be worth while to try a more drastic remedy? |
22131 | Of what avail was such responsibility, guarded, as it was, by secret despatches,"like a system of espionage"? |
22131 | The enquiry may not unnaturally be made: What were the Government about all this time? |
22131 | Then came the next query:"Are you ready for your trial?" |
22131 | To the Upper Canadian people? |
22131 | To what, then, was his long and bitter persecution to be attributed? |
22131 | Was it not an honour to be disreputable in such company? |
22131 | Were they in total ignorance of what was going on all around them? |
22131 | What manner of personage was this outsider, who arrogated to himself the responsibility of ameliorating the rigours of Upper Canadian laws? |
22131 | What might have been expected from them if they had been subjected to such injustice and ignominy as the party to which they were opposed? |
22131 | What then was to be anticipated when the chances and changes of time should once more place that party in the ascendant there? |
22131 | What was to be done if they refused to be dictated to? |
22131 | What wonder that an appointment to a public office in Upper Canada should have been regarded by such persons as a thing greatly to be coveted? |
22131 | What wonder, then, that Upper Canada was regarded by place- hunting emigrants from England with wistful eyes? |
22131 | What wonder, then, that there should have been defects in the measure of 1791? |
22131 | When the official inquiry was put to the prisoner:"How say you, Robert Gourlay, are you guilty or not guilty?" |
22131 | Who shall say what other scenes, sad or mirthful, presented themselves among his"thick- coming fancies"? |
22131 | Why are you placed here, as prosecuting officer? |
22131 | Why else were they forbidden to attend? |
22131 | Why not instantly send for Dutcher''s[288] foundry- men and Armstrong''s axe- makers, all of whom were true to the good cause? |
22131 | Why should not the decisive blow be struck at once? |
22131 | Would it not be possible, by a little extra exertion, to deprive him of his pension? |
22131 | Would it not be well if he could be got rid of, as Thorpe and Gourlay had been got rid of before him? |
22131 | [ 215] Had this responsibility to Downing Street ever saved"a single martyr to Executive displeasure"? |
22131 | [ 216] Had it been of any avail for the protection of Robert Gourlay, Captain Matthews, Francis Collins or Robert Randal? |
22131 | [ 246] During the contest people on the hustings actually demanded of the candidates:"Do you vote for the House of Assembly or for Sir Francis Head?" |
35586 | Oh then, I suppose he''s very proud and distant? |
35586 | What does he mean? |
35586 | What is he like? |

35586 | About half- past three they all returned, headed by the commander- in- chief, who demanded of Mrs. Howard whether the dinner he had ordered was ready? |
35586 | America-- for here, if not positively welcomed(? |
35586 | And did He suffer so for me? |
35586 | And have I basely wish''d to make this wondrous off''ring vain; Shall love so vast, be unrepaid by grateful love again? |
35586 | Are those countries in a prosperous condition? |
35586 | Are we prosperous in Canada? |
35586 | But do they exercise any controlling voice in elections? |
35586 | But how to get into it? |
35586 | But if the absenteeism invariably produced such results, why is it not the case in Scotland? |
35586 | But what casuistry is this? |
35586 | But where are the results of the policy which sent them there? |
35586 | Can not something be done now, while yet the lands of the vast North- West are at our disposal? |
35586 | Can not the necessity for actual settlement be waived in favour of donations by individuals for Church uses? |
35586 | Cheese and butter factories for export, have already spread over the land-- why not furniture factories also? |
35586 | Do they even hope to influence the popular vote? |
35586 | Has this great catastrophe of the submergence of the land to the depth of at least two or three thousand feet, taken place since the birth of Man? |
35586 | Hath some rival, too ungently, taunted thee with scoffing pride? |
35586 | Hath thy practised arm betrayed thee when thou threwst the light jereed? |
35586 | Have we wiled away the Indian prairies from their aboriginal owners, to make them little better than a race- course for speculating gamblers? |
35586 | If it be asked, did not ancient Rome do the same thing? |
35586 | Nay, doth sadder, deeper feeling dim the gladness of thine eye? |
35586 | Oh, if thou upon poor Zayda cast one look of cold regard, Whither shall she turn for comfort in a world unkind and hard? |
35586 | Oh, why, when stricken from his hande, Far flew his weapon o''er the strande-- Why did hee rush upon my brande? |
35586 | On leaving the court, one of the jurors whispered to the discharged prisoner,"Did you think we were agoing to give in to them French fellows?" |
35586 | One man asked"Who lives here?" |
35586 | Our good old English fashion What other flow''r can show? |
35586 | Shall not Zayda share thy sorrow, as she loves to share thy smile? |
35586 | Tell me, dearest, tell me truly, why thou breath''st that mournful sigh? |
35586 | Tell me, hath our cousin Hassan passed thee on a fleeter steed? |
35586 | That great essential, then, being admitted, what right have I, or have you, dear reader, to demand more? |
35586 | The man explained that the blaze( query, blazon?) |
35586 | The present troubles in Ireland, are they not the direct fruit of the crushing out of its linen industry? |

35586 | Why did hee cross mee on my waye? |
35586 | Why does not Canada prosper equally with the adjacent republic? |
35586 | Will no courageous legislator raise his voice to advocate the dedication of a few hundred thousand acres to unselfish purposes? |
35586 | Would it not be wise to enact laws at once, having that object in view? |
35586 | Would not this whole question be a fitting subject for the appointment of a competent parliamentary commission? |

39924 | And how long did it take them? |
39924 | And how long shall we be on it, after leaving Toronto? |
39924 | And that is how far from here? |
39924 | And what did you see, when you got in behind the Falls? |
39924 | And where are the old_ Tête- du- pont_ barracks? |
39924 | And who wrote''Tà © là © maque?'' |
39924 | Are_ you_ tired yet, Hugh? |
39924 | But are we not going to ascend the monument? |
39924 | But have n''t you any Canadian songs to give me? |
39924 | Ca n''t you invent one for it? |
39924 | Could n''t you repeat a verse or two of your own translation? |
39924 | Do you know what it means? |
39924 | Do you recollect,he asked,"a lovely morning we had, just after coming to Sumach Lodge?" |
39924 | How do you do, Miss Severne? 39924 It was too bad,"she added,"that Hugh forestalled him, in going to Kate''s rescue, was it not? |
39924 | It''s only a little way; wo n''t you come? 39924 Now, Hugh,"observed Kate,"why should n''t_ you_ write a''_ Mort de Père La Brosse_''_ à la_ Tennyson? |
39924 | Oh, did he really say that? |
39924 | Satisfied? 39924 Then, wo n''t you write out the poem it embodies, for the rest of us to read?" |
39924 | Was n''t it too bad,said Flora,"that Kitty sent off Mr. Arbuton like that?" |
39924 | Well, Hugh, are you satisfied_ now_? |
39924 | Well, dreaming as usual? |
39924 | What are you two talking about? |
39924 | What is remarkable about Lundy''s Lane? |
39924 | Where are all the rest of you? |
39924 | Who would ever dream,said Flora,"that this was the same river we saw raging away up there?" |
39924 | Who would have thought a great poet would have made such a mistake in his zoology? |
39924 | Why should he have_ let_ Hugh get before him, then? |
39924 | --"Well, Mrs. Sandford, have you forgotten me?" |
39924 | And do you see those tiny white specks? |
39924 | And so these heights had_ their_ dead hero, too, as well as the''Heights of Abraham''?" |
39924 | Are you saying a last fond good- bye to the Falls? |
39924 | But what is that you have got in your hand?" |
39924 | But when is the eye satisfied with seeing? |
39924 | But where are you going now?" |
39924 | But why will man be so foolhardy?" |
39924 | Do you remember it?" |
39924 | Had Flora no thought of Hugh, then? |
39924 | I have n''t acted very much like a jealous lover, have I, since Mr. Winthrop appeared on the scene? |
39924 | It is at all events a pleasant thought to finish this glorious visit with; and I suppose this is our farewell look?" |
39924 | Loyalist?''" |
39924 | May I?" |
39924 | No!--delighted? |
39924 | Notre Dame des Anges, was it not? |
39924 | Or did it not occur to her that_ his_ happiness might be in some degree involved in this matter? |
39924 | She refrained from disturbing him, for how could she tell that he might not be writing_ poetry_? |
39924 | There''s joy enough in this passive bliss; The wrestling crowd and its cares forsaken Was ever Nirvana more blest than this? |
39924 | Was he as argumentative as ever?" |
39924 | What accident brings you this way?" |
39924 | Whither should they go next? |
39924 | Why do n''t we know more about these affairs at home? |
39924 | Why should we not travel down the river of life together? |
39924 | Winthrop?" |
39924 | a familiar step sounded close to her, and a well- known voice was in her ear, with a low- toned,"Well, May?" |
39924 | asked Kate;"shall we walk on-- it''s a good mile-- or take a carriage?" |
39924 | do n''t you think Niagara deserves its name, which means''Thunder of Waters''?" |
39924 | is it really you?" |
39924 | said Kate;"but what of him?" |
39924 | who expects songs to be sensible nowadays, especially songs of that sort? |

20014 | Why, what can he do, then, that you ask twenty dollars for him? |
20014 | ''Do you know how to eat?'' |
20014 | ''Now, gentlemen, what is bid? |
20014 | ''When shall we be married, Jon-- nathan?'' |
20014 | --"Any canoes ever lost there?" |
20014 | --"But is it very dangerous?" |
20014 | --"How long ago was the last accident, and what was it?" |
20014 | --"The veil?" |
20014 | --"Where are the yokes, Paddy?" |
20014 | --my friend was an Irishman--"the trough of the say? |

20014 | Are they more renowned in the dreadful art of war? |
20014 | At length he musters courage and speaks--"''Sewkey?'' |
20014 | But what do the people of the United States,( for the government is not a particeps, save by force,) pretend to effect by their enormous sovereignty? |
20014 | But what is the result of such a union of versatile talent? |
20014 | Could he speak well? |
20014 | Cæsar, the conqueror, Napoleon, his imitator, and Nelson, and Wellington, are they on a par with the rabble of New York? |

20014 | Now what is bid for this valuable family?'' |
20014 | Reader, do you know what a sherry cobbler is? |
20014 | The father looks a little amazed, upon which the manikin ejaculates,"Why do n''t you take them? |
20014 | Time is money in America; the meals are hurried over, relaxations necessary to the enjoyment of existence forbidden-- and what for? |
20014 | To what end? |
20014 | What was its age? |
20014 | What will the reader think of Leadenhall Market being condensed and floating? |
20014 | What would Washington have said to such a system? |
20014 | When at ease again, I looked at the imperturbable savage and said,"What made you take the Fall? |
20014 | When money became again plentiful, and the country so loudly demanded the Trent Canal, why was it not finished? |
20014 | Whence, then, do the lakes receive that enormous supply which will restore them to their usual flow?--or are they permanently diminishing? |
20014 | Wherein do the Americans exceed the sons of Britain? |

15307 | ''And how did you come-- what started you-- where did you get the passage money-- how did you find your way here?'' |
15307 | ''And is your mother in Glasgow?'' |
15307 | ''And then what will we do if there is no wind?'' |

15307 | ''This is our new farm,''shouted Allan in her ear,''A''this ground and the lakie?'' |
15307 | ''Were you not at the surveyor- general''s office this morning and left your name? |

15307 | ''Why do you call your son Sal?'' |
15307 | ''Will the fellow, who knows now where she is, not plan a second attempt?'' |
15307 | ''Will you go quietly or will I put these on?'' |
15307 | ''You will not leave him?'' |
15307 | ''You''re a Scotchman,''remarked the gentleman,''What part are you from?'' |
15307 | An Englishman asked,''When had the King become unable to pay the parson?'' |
15307 | Asked him if the conditions on which the lot was granted did not require him to open a road? |
15307 | Can you count?'' |
15307 | Could he find out how she was? |
15307 | Did he not come to these woods to hew out from the heart of them a home for those he loved? |
15307 | Did you ever hear of Peter Russel? |
15307 | Did you ever see that book? |
15307 | Did you have breakfast yet? |
15307 | Do they not desire to be beside me and is it not my duty to sustain and comfort them while life lasts? |
15307 | Ever hear a negro hymn? |
15307 | Facing him, I said,''Is not your name Archie?'' |
15307 | Guess it was the same in David''s time as in ours-- the women did the heft of the singing?'' |
15307 | Had they anything they could recite from memory? |
15307 | Have you any brothers or sisters?'' |
15307 | Hugh was dazed when he saw the jailer did not follow''Where are we going, father?'' |
15307 | I am cold, I said, and, please, might I warm myself? |
15307 | I could not go further than Who is the Redeemer of God''s elect? |
15307 | I cut him short by asking''How much?'' |
15307 | I must walk, of course, but how was I to live on the road? |
15307 | If I go, what will be allowed me for the improvements I have made? |
15307 | Is money- help all they can claim from me? |
15307 | Is not that your mind, Ailie?'' |
15307 | Is sending them so many dollars a month all the command to honor father and mother means? |
15307 | Is that the way to build up Canada as British? |
15307 | It was awakening new life in the forest, and why not in him? |
15307 | Jumping on board, he asked''What is keeping you here?'' |
15307 | Mr Kerr who was, like all of us, excited by the accident, asked,''You mean me?'' |
15307 | Nothing wrong with them that sent you here?'' |
15307 | One question troubled him, and that was, How the Buffalo scoundrel had come to know where Tilly was hid? |
15307 | Pausing, she cried,''Tompkins, what does that common- looking man want here? |
15307 | Pressing half a crown in my little fist he moved to get beside the driver, when Robbie cheeped out astonished,''Is Gordie no to go wi''us?'' |
15307 | Say what you want?'' |
15307 | Shall I place other cares between them and me, leaving them second instead of first? |
15307 | She was stooping in the garden cutting greens for dinner when a voice behind her asked,''Hoo is a''wi''ye, Mirren?'' |
15307 | Should he not accept it? |
15307 | Such an arbitrary law as he pleads for would undoubtedly help the manufacturer, but would it help me, who am a farmer? |
15307 | The man, who was quite composed, said to the prisoner,''Mr Kerr, do you authorize me to act as your attorney?'' |
15307 | The question I ask, is not will the money stay in Canada, but will the money I have justly earned stay in my pocket? |
15307 | The sailors were still hauling the steamer into her berth, when Mr Brodie shouted''Have you got land?'' |
15307 | The stranger dropped his bitter tone, and asked smoothly,''May I ask your lordship a question? |
15307 | Was he going to throw up his purpose to benefit himself? |
15307 | Was it not selfishness that whispered his doing so? |
15307 | Was marriage for comfort and ease such a union as his conscience could approve? |
15307 | What about the prisoner?'' |
15307 | What are you doing here, laddie? |
15307 | What are you doing with that man?'' |
15307 | What caused him to pause in blank astonishment? |
15307 | What right has any government to pass such a law? |
15307 | What was marriage without love? |
15307 | When he opened his eyes, and looking wonderingly round asked,''What is a''the steer aboot?'' |
15307 | Where are you from? |
15307 | Whither hast thy spirit wended-- Here a moment then to fly? |
15307 | Why thy joyous life thus ended? |
15307 | Why wert born thus to die? |
15307 | Why, instead, was I not taken-- The fading leaf the bud to spare? |
15307 | With the money I get for my wheat may I not buy what I need where I see fit? |
15307 | Would he venture to go on that amount? |
15307 | Would that be right? |
15307 | exclaimed the officer,''what do you need?'' |
15307 | she asked,''ai nt you got religion yet? |
15307 | she exclaimed,''can it be you are the child of my old school companion? |
6813 | A flint? |
6813 | And how far do you think you are from the Cold Springs? |
6813 | And is not this our own creek? |
6813 | And now, Hec, what is to be done? 6813 And shall we have a sail as well as oars?" |
6813 | And we should never want for meat, if we could catch a fine fawn from time to time, ma belle.--Hec, what are you thinking of? |
6813 | Are my white brothers afraid to die? |
6813 | But how are we to get them out of it? |
6813 | But how shall we cook the bird and the eggs? 6813 But how?" |
6813 | But stay, cousin, you are sure my mother gave her consent to my going? 6813 But when shall we come to the Beaver Meadow?" |
6813 | But where is Louis, dear Louis, our nephew, where is he? |
6813 | But where is Mathilde? |
6813 | But, Hector, do you really think there is no chance of finding our way back to Cold Springs? 6813 But, Hector, if the savages should see you, and take you prisoner,"said Catharine,"what would you do?" |
6813 | Can you receive me and those I have with me for the night? |
6813 | Do you remember what a quantity of large fish bones we found in the eagle''s nest on the top of our hill, Louis? |
6813 | Do you remember,said Catharine,"the fine pink mussel- shell that Hec picked up in the little corn- field last year? |
6813 | How came you to see them? |
6813 | How came you to think that such is her intention? |
6813 | How can she, unprotected and alone, dare such perils? 6813 How can you sew it together, cousin?" |
6813 | How many passengers is it to accommodate, my dear? |
6813 | I give up all hope? 6813 I have here my trusty knife; what is there to hinder us from constructing a vessel capable of holding water, a gallon if you like?" |
6813 | If they should prove to be any of your father''s people, or a friendly tribe, would you go away with them? |
6813 | Is it to be like the big sap- trough in the sugar- bush at home? |
6813 | It is worth nothing now,she said, sighing;"and what am I to do when my gown is worn out? |
6813 | Jacob, did ye ken that we lost our eldest bairns some three summers since? |
6813 | Jacob, is this possible? 6813 Louis, what are you cutting out of that bit OF wood?" |
6813 | May the daughter of the Bald Eagle''s enemy speak to her great father? |
6813 | Must this sweet new- blown rose find such a winter Before her spring be past? |
6813 | On fire, Hector? 6813 Stay a moment, Monsieur Hec; what do you call this?" |
6813 | The Indians? |
6813 | Was that when you well- nigh roasted the bear? |
6813 | Well, if that is safe, who cares? 6813 What aileth thee, wee dearie?" |
6813 | What are you about, Louis? |
6813 | What are you taking the axe for, Hector? 6813 What is she doing?" |
6813 | What makes Hec so grave? |
6813 | What shall we do for clothes? |
6813 | Where? 6813 Who should have taught her? |
6813 | Who told your father all these things, Hec? |
6813 | Who would have thought of meeting with the children of my old comrade here at the shore of the Rice Lake? 6813 Who would imagine that it is now more than a month since we lost Catharine?" |
6813 | Why so, ma belle? |
6813 | Why, Louis, how is this? 6813 Why, Louis, whither away?" |
6813 | Why, man, what ails you? 6813 You are very ingenious, no doubt, Monsieur Louis; but where are you to get the cloth and the hoop, and the means of sewing it on?" |
6813 | And did they take him prisoner?" |
6813 | And now arose the question,"Where are we? |
6813 | Are ye not much better than they?'' |
6813 | But what can we do? |
6813 | But why is it hushed again? |
6813 | Can it be the Ontario, or is it the Rice Lake? |
6813 | Can it be?--what is it that she sees? |
6813 | Can yonder shores be those of the Americans, or are they the hunting- grounds of the dreaded Indians?" |
6813 | Catharine, in tears, cast her arms round her disinterested friend and remained weeping: how could she accept this great sacrifice? |
6813 | Do you remember when the forest was on fire last spring how long it continued to burn and how fiercely it raged? |
6813 | Do you think that Hector or Louis would abandon you in your helpless state, to die of hunger or thirst, or to be torn by wolves or bears? |
6813 | Do your young hearts yearn after the hearth of your childhood?"'' |
6813 | Had the Indians also captured her friends? |
6813 | Have we not heard fearful tales of their cruelty?" |
6813 | His hapless victim moved not:--whither could she flee to escape one whose fleet foot could so easily have overtaken her in the race? |
6813 | How many are ye in all?" |
6813 | How should she find words to soften the heart of her murderess? |
6813 | Is it the death- song of the captive girl bound to that fearful stake? |
6813 | Jacob had a hundred questions to ask-- Where were their parents? |
6813 | Now, look at the lighting up of that hill; is it not grand?" |
6813 | Now, where are these to be met with?" |
6813 | Others had succeeded, had formed little colonies, and become the heads of villages in due time; why should not they? |
6813 | Shall I tell you about it? |
6813 | Shall she be thus, And I draw in soft slumbers?" |
6813 | So I have heard my father say; and surely our father knows, for is he not a wise man, Hector?" |
6813 | Was there no hope of release? |
6813 | We have an axe and a tomahawk,--what should hinder us from making one like it?" |
6813 | What had she done?--what dared? |
6813 | What is he doing?" |
6813 | What lake is this? |
6813 | What will not time and the industry of man, assisted by the blessing of a merciful God, effect? |
6813 | Why did she not tell us? |
6813 | Why should not we be able to find subsistence as well as the wild Indians?" |
6813 | Why should we be more stupid than these untaught heathens? |
6813 | Would it not be charming, ma belle?" |
6813 | Wrapped in their warm furs, with caps fastened closely over their ears, what cared they for the cold? |
6813 | You remember the pleasant spot, which we named the Happy Valley, where the bright creek runs dancing along so merrily, below the pine- ridge?" |
6813 | after the fur was all singed?" |
6813 | did they live on the Plains now? |
6813 | do you think she would risk the vengeance of the old chief whose life she attempted to take?" |
6813 | how came you hither, and for what purpose?" |
6813 | how long was it since they had left the Cold Springs? |
6813 | if we were to lose you, what would become of us?" |
6813 | is it a bear, wolf, or catamount that is on your trail?" |
6813 | or was she alone to be the victim of their vengeance? |
6813 | there is a rustling among the leaves; what strange creature works its way to the shore? |
6813 | was not that the ox- bell? |
6813 | were there any more little ones? |
6813 | what had been her crime? |
6813 | what is to become of me? |
6813 | what makes you run as if you were hunted down by a pack of wolves?" |
6813 | what?" |
6813 | where conceal herself from him whose wary eye fixed upon her seemed to deprive her of all vital energy? |
6479 | Ah, dear nurse, where did you get them? 6479 And are there many woods near it?" |
6479 | And did the hunter take her home? |
6479 | And has it a funny face and ears too, nurse? |
6479 | And is the rice good to eat, nurse? |
6479 | And what became of this nice fellow, nurse? |
6479 | And what do the beavers make dams with, nurse? |
6479 | And what is the Indian name for Old Snow- storm? |
6479 | And where is Coburg, nurse? 6479 Are there any beavers in England, nurse?" |
6479 | Are there any other kinds of snakes in Canada, nurse,asked Lady Mary,"besides the garter- snake?" |
6479 | Are there any other wild fruits, nurse, besides raspberries and strawberries, and currants and gooseberries? |
6479 | Are there many kinds of maple- trees, that sugar can be made from, nurse? |
6479 | Are there many sorts of wild fruits fit to eat, nurse, in this country? 6479 Are there no more flowers in bloom now, nurse?" |
6479 | But what is this odd- looking, black thing here? 6479 But you did not eat our parents too?" |
6479 | Can otters swim, nurse? |
6479 | Can squirrels swim like otters and beavers, nurse? 6479 Can the moon make rainbows at night?" |
6479 | Dear nurse, why does my little squirrel tremble and look so unhappy? 6479 Dear nurse, will you tell me anything more about birds and flowers to- day?" |
6479 | Did you ever hear of any little boy or girl having been carried off by a wolf or bear? |
6479 | Did you ever see a tame fawn? |
6479 | Did you kill them? |
6479 | Did you notice, Lady Mary, how the dormice held their food? |
6479 | Do people see the birds flying away together, nurse? |
6479 | Do the beavers sleep in the winter time, nurse? |
6479 | Do you know any other pretty flowers, nurse? |
6479 | Do you think it was a rattlesnake, nurse? |
6479 | Does God sow the seeds in the new ground? |
6479 | Does it prick one''s finger like a thistle? |
6479 | Does the Canadian robin come into the house in winter, and pick up the crumbs, as the dear little redbreasts do at home? |
6479 | Have you ever seen their nests, nurse? |
6479 | How could the bear have got into the stack of wheat, nurse? |
6479 | How does it make that whirring noise, nurse, just like the humming of a top? |
6479 | How long will the winter last, nurse? |
6479 | I did not think, nurse, that wild strawberries could have been so fine as these; may I taste them? |
6479 | I suppose, nurse, when they awake, they are glad to eat some of the food they hare laid up in their granaries? |
6479 | I think, sometimes, I ought not to keep my dear squirrel in a cage-- shall I let him go? |
6479 | I wonder where you were brought up? |
6479 | I wonder who taught the Indians how to make maple- sugar? |
6479 | If you please, nurse, will you tell me what these dark shining seeds are? |
6479 | Is it a book, my lady? |
6479 | Is the racoon a pretty creature like my squirrel? |
6479 | Is this all you know about fawns, nurse? |
6479 | Mrs. Frazer, are you very busy just now? |
6479 | My book is only a fable then, nurse? 6479 Now, nurse, will you tell me some more about Jacob Snow- storm and the otters?" |
6479 | Nurse how can beavers cut down trees; they have neither axes nor saws? |
6479 | Nurse, can people eat musk- rats? |
6479 | Nurse, did you ever see a tame beaver? |
6479 | Nurse, do not beavers, and otters, and muskrats feel cold while living in the water; and do they not get wet? |
6479 | Nurse, do you know the names of these pretty starry flowers on this little branch, that look so light and pretty? |
6479 | Nurse, how can they see to eat in the dark? |
6479 | Nurse, is there real rice growing in the Rice Lake? 6479 Nurse, please can you tell me anything about fawns? |
6479 | Nurse, please will you tell me something about tortoises and porcupines? |
6479 | Nurse, what is the name of that pretty creature you have in your hand? 6479 Nurse, when you see any of these curious flowers, will you show them to me?" |
6479 | Nurse, where did you get these nice strawberries? |
6479 | Nurse, will you be so kind as to ask Campbell to get a pretty cage for my squirrel? 6479 Nurse, will you tell me something about birds''nests, and what they make them of?" |
6479 | Nurse,said Lady Mary,"did you ever hear of any one having been eaten by a wolf or bear?" |
6479 | Of what use is the dam, nurse? |
6479 | Please tell me what a stoup is, nurse? |
6479 | Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me what sort of trees hemlocks are? 6479 Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me which flowers will be first in bloom?" |
6479 | Please, nurse, tell me of what colours real porcupine quills are? |
6479 | Stop, nurse, and tell me why they are called black and white; are the flowers black and white? |
6479 | That must be very useful; but if the sap is sweet, how can it be made into such sour stuff as vinegar? |
6479 | This embroidered knife- sheath is large enough for a hunting- knife,said Lady Mary,"a''_ couteau de chasse_,''--is it not?" |
6479 | What are Pagans, nurse? |
6479 | What are wigwams? |
6479 | What became of them, nurse? |
6479 | What colour are the Canadian robins, nurse? |
6479 | What colour was the snake, my dear? |
6479 | What do you mean by the fall, nurse? |
6479 | What do you want more, my dear children,said their mother,"than you enjoy here? |
6479 | What is migrating, nurse; is it the same as emigrating? |
6479 | What shall we do for supper to- night? |
6479 | What was that for, nurse? 6479 Which is the nearest way to the mill?" |
6479 | Who calls them all to build their winter houses? |
6479 | You do not think it was cruel, nurse, to kill the snake? |
6479 | *****"Nurse, I am glad Silvy went away with Nimble, are not you? |
6479 | *****"Nurse,"said Lady Mary,"how do you like the story?" |
6479 | Are there many squirrels in this part of Canada?" |
6479 | Are there not moss, dried grass, and roots beneath, to make a soft bed for you to lie upon? |
6479 | Are they pretty creatures, and can they be tamed; or are they fierce, wild little things?" |
6479 | But why would biting out the eye prevent the grain from growing?" |
6479 | Can you tell me what birds they were?" |
6479 | Can you tell us where we shall find them?" |
6479 | Did you ever know any one who was eaten by a wolf?" |
6479 | Do the black squirrels sleep in the winter as well as the flying squirrels and chitmunks?" |
6479 | Do you see that red squirrel yonder, climbing the hemlock- tree? |
6479 | Do you want me to do anything for you?" |
6479 | I have seen acorns at home in dear England and Scotland, and I have eaten the hickory- nuts here; but what is beech- mast? |
6479 | I should like to have a tame otter to play with, and run after me; but do you think he would eat my squirrel? |
6479 | I wish there were maples in the garden, and I would make sugar, molasses, wine, and vinegar; and what else would I do with my maple- tree?" |
6479 | If they come to a lake or river, can they cross it?" |
6479 | If you please, will you tell me something about it, and why it is called by such a curious name?" |
6479 | Is it a dried fish? |
6479 | Is it a large city like Montreal or Quebec?" |
6479 | Is it a little beaver?" |
6479 | Is it''Little Red Riding Hood,''or''Old Mother Hubbard,''or''Jack the Giant Killer?''" |
6479 | It must be a black bass? |
6479 | It would have killed me if it had bitten me, would it not, nurse?" |
6479 | Looking at the honeysuckles,--I dare say it thought them very pretty; or was it smelling them? |
6479 | Nurse, please tell me what are sleigh- robes made of?" |
6479 | Nurse, what is a fawn?" |
6479 | Oh, Miss Campbell, what shall we do?" |
6479 | Papa and mamma are going away from Government House, and I am to return to the old country with them; I am so glad, are not you?" |
6479 | Please, will you tell me all that you know about them?" |
6479 | Then Lady Mary brought a print and showed it to her nurse, saying,"Nurse, is the porcupine like this picture?" |
6479 | Was not that good, nurse?" |
6479 | Was not the Major naughty to say so?" |
6479 | Were you ever in the green forest, nurse? |
6479 | Were you ever there?" |
6479 | What do you think it was, nurse?" |
6479 | What do you think the beaver had done? |
6479 | What is it?" |
6479 | What was it doing? |
6479 | Where do otters live?" |
6479 | Why did they not carry it at once to their nests?" |
6479 | Why does he not lie down and sleep on the nice soft bed you have made for him in his little chamber? |
6479 | and do not the boughs drop down a plentiful store of brown ripe acorns? |
6479 | can you tell me?" |
6479 | dear nurse, what can it be?" |
6479 | did you find real hare- bells, such as grow on the bonny Highland hills among the heather? |
6479 | do bears eat raspberries?" |
6479 | said the child, after she had tired herself with looking at the prints;"a long, long time-- a great many weeks?--a great many months?" |
8607 | Ah, dear nurse, where did you get them? 8607 And are there many woods near it?" |
8607 | And did the hunter take her home? 8607 And do they pursue the graceful deer? |
8607 | And has it a funny face and ears too, nurse? |
8607 | And is the rice good to eat, nurse? |
8607 | And what are creeks, nurse? |

8607 | I wonder where you were brought up? |

8607 | His name is GOLD-- Mr. Gold, are you here to- night or are you sleeping in your iron chest? |
8607 | How do you think the Indian women carry their infants when they go on a long journey? |
8607 | I am so glad-- are not you?" |

8607 | [ Illustration: THE INDIAN HUNTER]"Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me what sort of trees hemlocks are? |

8607 | what can it be?" |
16343 | And you have never regretted? |
16343 | And you, Beth-- are you happy? 16343 Are you going back to Victoria College?" |
16343 | Are you going to write another story, Beth? |
16343 | Are you sorry to leave home, Beth? |
16343 | Are you sure you love him, Beth? |
16343 | Are you sure you will be sent just where you want to go? |
16343 | Arthur, do you remember what a silly, silly girl I used to be when I thought you had not enough of the artist- soul to understand my nature? 16343 Arthur, when are you going out as a missionary?" |
16343 | Beth--he grew paler and his voice almost trembled,--"Beth, do you love Arthur Grafton?" |
16343 | Beth, can you refuse longer to surrender your life and your life''s toil? 16343 Beth, do you not see how your talent could be used in the mission field?" |
16343 | Beth, have you forgotten the past? |
16343 | Beth, my dear child, what is wrong between you and Clarence? |
16343 | Beth, what is the matter between you and Arthur? |
16343 | But Arthur, why were you so cold and strange that day we parted last summer? |
16343 | But do n''t you dread the loneliness? |
16343 | But, Beth, can you never forgive the past? 16343 But, Beth, is n''t your life a consecrated one-- one of service?" |
16343 | Ca n''t you guess what I was going to tell you, Beth, dear? |
16343 | Clarence Mayfair, you dare to speak words of love to that woman at your side? 16343 Did I tell you of our expected guest?" |
16343 | Did n''t I always take care of you when you were little? |
16343 | Did you ever see this picture that Arthur left in his room when he went away last fall? |
16343 | Did you know him, Beth? |
16343 | Did you see much of Arthur while you were in Toronto, Beth? 16343 Do n''t you dread going, though?" |
16343 | Do n''t you think, May, I should make a mistake if I married a man who had no taste for literature and art? |
16343 | Do you always think of what you can do for others? |
16343 | Do you know any of the girls over at the college who would like to get a room, Miss Clayton? |
16343 | Do you know, it was so funny, Arthur, you roomed in the very house where I boarded last fall, and I never knew a thing about it till afterward? 16343 Do you like Miss de Vere?" |
16343 | Do you remember when I used to pride myself on my unbelief? |
16343 | Do you? 16343 Edith"--Beth hesitated before she finished the quietly eager enquiry--"do you still think marriage the best thing in the world?" |
16343 | Grafton''s a fine fellow, is n''t he? |
16343 | Handsome baby, is n''t it? 16343 Have you finished the novel you were writing last summer, Beth?" |
16343 | Have you had a talk with your father, Beth? |
16343 | Have you seen the new minister and his wife yet? |
16343 | How do you like the new minister? |
16343 | If Jesus comes for him, will you say''no''? |
16343 | Is n''t it a striking name? |
16343 | Is n''t that just what I''ve been telling you? 16343 Is your father out to- night, Beth?" |
16343 | Mr. Grafton? 16343 Mr.--whom did you say?" |
16343 | Oh, Arthur, what_ can_ you mean? 16343 Oh, May-- is it-- death?" |
16343 | Oh, are you going to teach? |
16343 | Oh, is n''t it dreadful? 16343 Oh, why not, Beth? |
16343 | Pretty? 16343 She is going to be a missionary, is n''t she?" |
16343 | Then can you love me, Beth? 16343 Then it was n''t Mr. Grafton at all who made the trouble?" |
16343 | Thought so? 16343 To the Wesleyan? |
16343 | Well, Beth, dear,said Dr. Woodburn,"has Mrs. Martin told you that young Arthur Grafton is coming to spend his holidays with us?" |
16343 | What are you going to call her? |
16343 | What did that gander- shanks of a Mayfair want? |
16343 | What is it-- a love story? |
16343 | Where are you going, do you know? |
16343 | Where is he going? |
16343 | Who does she look like? |
16343 | Why, May, where did you-- whose baby? |
16343 | Will you forgive me, Beth? 16343 Would n''t it be grand to be on this cliff and watch a thunderstorm coming up over the lake?" |
16343 | You have been all summer in Briarsfield? |
16343 | You naughty puss, why did n''t you tell me when you wrote? |
16343 | ''For self?'' |
16343 | And she was drifting-- but whither? |
16343 | And what had love brought to her? |
16343 | And what had that winter brought to Beth? |
16343 | And what have the years brought to Beth? |
16343 | And what of that novel she had written? |
16343 | And yet that look, that touch last night-- what did it mean? |
16343 | And yet, could she destroy it now, before its publication? |
16343 | And you will be my bridesmaid, wo n''t you, dear?" |
16343 | Are they young?" |
16343 | Are you going to spend your summer in Briarsfield?" |
16343 | Are you ready, Beth?" |
16343 | Are you really so happy?" |
16343 | Arthur Grafton, what is she to you? |
16343 | Beth Woodburn''s promised husband?" |
16343 | Beth saw clearly just what Clarence lacked, and what can pain a woman more deeply than to know the object she has idealized is unworthy? |
16343 | Beth, do n''t you see what grand possibilities are yours, with your natural gifts and the education and culture that you will have?" |
16343 | But do you know, Beth, I do not like your writings?" |
16343 | But do you know, my life is n''t consecrated to God, Clarence; is yours?" |
16343 | But the winds might rage without-- aye, the storms might beat down, if they would, what did it matter? |
16343 | But then you would need to live among the people and know their lives, and who would know them so well as a missionary?" |
16343 | But what of Arthur? |
16343 | But wherever have you been?" |
16343 | But why not surrender that, too, Beth?" |
16343 | But would this reverence he felt for her ripen into love with the maturer years of his manhood? |
16343 | Can you ever forgive?" |
16343 | Can you ever love me enough to be my wife?" |
16343 | Cold? |
16343 | Could she bear the thought of it? |
16343 | Could she carry that over into this heavenly Canaan? |
16343 | Dare he say that word? |
16343 | Did love mean to him what it meant to her? |
16343 | Did they think Clarence the pale- faced boy that he looked? |
16343 | Did you know him? |
16343 | Do n''t you see that I love you?" |
16343 | Do n''t you think it quite an undertaking? |
16343 | Do you know her worth?" |
16343 | Do you not see there are two paths before you? |
16343 | Do you remember that last Sabbath before you left home? |
16343 | Do you remember the first time we saw her in the shadow of the trees on the lawn at home? |
16343 | Does he-- Arthur, I mean-- love you?" |
16343 | Had Arthur changed? |
16343 | Had Marie told him that she--"Beth, why did you not tell me before that you were free-- that you were not another''s promised wife?" |
16343 | Her sacrifice had been in vain, but the love that sacrificed itself-- was that vain? |
16343 | Highly moral, highly refined and scholarly, but what of its doubts, its shadows, its sorrows without hope, its supernatural gloom? |
16343 | How could I?" |
16343 | How could it have been? |
16343 | How could she look into his eyes? |
16343 | How could you tell?" |
16343 | How is it, Beth?" |
16343 | How much did he know? |
16343 | I wonder if Arthur will like Clarence?" |
16343 | If God should call him home to his reward, would you-- would you refuse to give him up?" |
16343 | Is n''t Marie''s face grand?" |
16343 | Is n''t she kind? |
16343 | Look, Beth,"he said, pointing upward to the picture of Christ upon the wall,"can you refuse Him-- can you refuse, Beth?" |
16343 | Must she do it? |
16343 | Oh, was there a God in heaven who could look down on her sorrow to- night, and not in pity call her home? |
16343 | She had longed for love, someone to love, someone who loved her; but was she worthy, she asked herself, pure enough, good enough? |
16343 | She had thought her future was to be spent there, and now where would her path be guided? |
16343 | She is ill and--""Do you still call her your friend?" |
16343 | She knew how to make her readers shudder, but would that story of hers bring more joy into the world? |
16343 | Should he encourage the love he felt for another''s wife? |
16343 | Soothed? |
16343 | Then she began to question--"When is it to be?" |
16343 | Was he one of those men who bury their sentiments under the practical duties of every- day life? |
16343 | Was it an impulse or what? |
16343 | Was it because Arthur preached that sermon she thought it so grand? |
16343 | Was it possible he could play like that? |
16343 | Was n''t it odd we did n''t meet?" |
16343 | Was she mistaken? |
16343 | Was she of the earth-- clay, like these others about her? |
16343 | Was that a shadow crossed Beth''s face? |
16343 | Was that her footstep overhead? |
16343 | Was that what love meant? |
16343 | We were out hazel- nutting and--""Do you always call Mr. Grafton Arthur?" |
16343 | What are you doing out in this storm?" |
16343 | What could he have to do with it?" |
16343 | What did it all mean? |
16343 | What did it mean? |
16343 | What did it mean? |
16343 | What folly had blinded him then, he wondered? |
16343 | What had brought him here so suddenly? |
16343 | What if, after all, she should not always stay alone with daddy? |
16343 | What is she to you-- Clarence Mayfair''s promised wife? |
16343 | What mattered all her blind shilly- shally fancies about his nature not being poetic? |
16343 | What then remained? |
16343 | What was it that had changed him from boyhood to manhood so suddenly? |
16343 | What was the matter with them all? |
16343 | What was the matter?" |
16343 | What were those things He promised to those who would tread the shining pathway? |
16343 | What would the morrow bring? |
16343 | Whatever made you leave it, Arthur?" |
16343 | When did you get home?" |
16343 | Where are you going?" |
16343 | Where is he?" |
16343 | Where would it end? |
16343 | Where?" |
16343 | Which will you choose, Beth? |
16343 | Whither, Beth? |
16343 | Who has not been moved by the peace and beauty of the closing hours of a summer Sabbath? |
16343 | Who told you?" |
16343 | Why could she not have lived and they been happy together? |
16343 | Why had Clarence''s love for her been unreal? |
16343 | Why had he never sent her one line, one word of sympathy in her sorrow? |
16343 | Why, Arthur, have you been ill? |
16343 | Will you be my own-- my wife? |
16343 | Will you enter your Father''s service? |
16343 | Would he be proud of his old play- mate? |
16343 | Would it sweeten life and warm human hearts? |
16343 | Would such a fate be Arthur''s? |
16343 | You are drifting-- but whither, Beth?" |
16343 | You wo n''t, will you?" |
16343 | _ MARIE._"Is n''t she pretty?" |
16343 | _ WHITHER, BETH?_ Beth was lying in the hammock, watching the white clouds chase each other over the sky. |
16343 | he exclaimed; then, in a softer tone,"Beth, did you think I had forgotten-- that I could forget? |
16343 | how can you-- how dare you talk so? |
16343 | or''for Jesus?'' |
16343 | picturesque? |
16343 | who''s that?" |
35224 | All of us!--how many of you? |
35224 | And did the man permit all this? |
35224 | And did you come all that way across the sea for these here falls? |
35224 | And how did you live? |
35224 | And only five acres cleared? 35224 And what became of him?" |
35224 | And you all came out? |
35224 | And you all emigrated with your father? |
35224 | And your father? |
35224 | Are you from the old country? |
35224 | Be so good, friend, as to inform me how far we are yet from Colonel Talbot''s house? |
35224 | But meantime you must have existed-- and without food or money--? |
35224 | Do you live here? |
35224 | Eagles? |
35224 | From what part of it? |
35224 | How are the mosquitoes? |
35224 | How came your father to emigrate? |
35224 | How large is it? |
35224 | How long have you been here? |
35224 | How long have you been on it? |
35224 | How much cleared? |
35224 | I expect,said he,"you know all about the battle of Bloody Run?" |
35224 | I hope you put by some of your wages? |
35224 | I say, how are the roads before us? |
35224 | Is it possible,he cried, exalting his voice,"that my brothers do not see me-- do not hear me? |
35224 | Is your father yet alive? |
35224 | Is your mother alive? |
35224 | Is your steam up? |
35224 | It must have been rather a hard life? |
35224 | O, no trouble at all-- shall I ride back and tell him you''re coming? |
35224 | Out over there, beyond the sea? |
35224 | Sholto!--that is rather an uncommon name, is it not? |
35224 | That''s well; but why are you not with him? |
35224 | The Colonel''s? 35224 Then it''s your opinion, I guess, that a man may be tempted by the devil?" |
35224 | Those birds? |
35224 | Thou spirit,he exclaimed in anger,"why dost thou oppose me? |
35224 | Was it not dreadful to see the people dying around you? 35224 Were you born in this country?" |
35224 | Were you not attached to your mistress? |
35224 | What could_ he_ do? 35224 What did you do then? |
35224 | What do you mean by that? |
35224 | What do you mean by_ the fever?_"Why, you see, I was looking at some fish that was going by the ship in shoals, as they call it. 35224 What is your name?" |
35224 | What wages do you receive? |
35224 | What will you do with your pigeon there? |
35224 | Where are your sisters now? |
35224 | Who have you got here? |
35224 | Why,_ what_ are they? |
35224 | Will you take in wood? |
35224 | Would we get on at all, do you think? |
35224 | Yes,said the urchin sturdily;"and I guess you have none of them in the old country?" |
35224 | You can read, I suppose? |
35224 | A clergyman in such circumstances could hardly command the respect of his parishioners: what do_ you_ think, madam?" |
35224 | Am I right, or am I not? |
35224 | And so you were detained at Quebec?" |
35224 | And then they did n''t know nothing of farming-- how should they? |
35224 | And what are the consequences? |
35224 | And what are these causes? |
35224 | And what_ will_ they make of her? |
35224 | But do you not think it includes another lesson? |
35224 | But in the mean time, and by human agency, what is to be done? |
35224 | But is_ that_ NOW better than_ this_ present NOW? |
35224 | But suddenly his countenance changed, and he said, with a wistful expression, and the tears in his eyes,"Friend, do you believe in the devil?" |
35224 | But what right have civilised_ men_ to exclaim, and look sublime and self- complacent about the matter? |
35224 | Can Heaven do for the blasted tree what it can not do for the human heart? |
35224 | Can you fancy what a pretty thing a Wisconsin pastoral might be? |
35224 | Can you not just imagine such a piece of music, and composed by Mendelssohn? |
35224 | Can you not send us out some Guy Faux, heroically ready to be victimised in the great cause of insulted nature, and no less insulted art? |
35224 | Can you tell me why we gave up this fine and important place to the Americans, without leaving ourselves even a fort on the opposite shore? |
35224 | Did you ever hear of such a man? |
35224 | Did you not feel frightened for yourself?" |
35224 | Do the green woods dance to the wind? |
35224 | Do we indeed find our account in being"Fine by defect, and beautifully weak?" |
35224 | Do we live among Paladins and Sir Charles Grandisons, and are our weakness, and our innocence, and our ignorance, safe- guards-- or snares? |
35224 | Does it lie in past or in present-- in natural or accidental circumstances?--in the institutions of the government, or the character of the people? |
35224 | Had you not to build a house?" |
35224 | Have they done anything up there?" |
35224 | Have we not the same ancestry, the same father- land, the same language? |
35224 | He has honour, power, obedience; but where are the love, the troops of friends, which also should accompany old age? |
35224 | He says,"Is this right? |
35224 | How do we know that trees do not feel their downfall? |
35224 | How far are our perceptions confined to our outward senses? |
35224 | I asked her if she was happy here in Canada? |
35224 | I asked why he had not shown it to me, and warned me against it? |
35224 | I asked, very naturally,"Why, if the Indians wish for log- huts, do they not build them? |
35224 | I called to the driver in some terror,"You are not surely going to admit that drunken man into the coach?" |
35224 | I had no letter to Mr. Schoolcraft; and if Mr. and Mrs. MacMurray had not passed this way, or had forgotten to mention me, what would be my reception? |
35224 | I pounced upon it as a prize; and what do you think it was? |
35224 | I remember to have read of some Russian prince( was it not Potemkin? |
35224 | I stopped a man who was trudging along with an axe on his shoulder,"How far to Colonel Talbot''s?" |
35224 | If it is so very bad, why did the white men bring it here? |
35224 | Is it not often so?" |
35224 | Is it remediable? |
35224 | Is not this like the two ways in which a woman''s heart may be killed in this world of ours-- by passion and by sorrow? |
35224 | Is this the age of Arcadia? |
35224 | Is this_ civilising the Indians_? |
35224 | Let but the spring come again, and I will take to myself wings and fly off to the west!--But will spring_ ever_ come? |
35224 | May I break my fast now, and at a more propitious time make a new fast?" |
35224 | Must I be deprived of the pleasure of associating with men? |
35224 | Must love be ever treated with profaneness, as a mere illusion? |
35224 | No doubt; the sentiment is truly a masculine one: and what was_ their_ fate? |
35224 | Now, in his old age, where is to him the solace of age? |
35224 | Ought a country possessing it, and all the means of life beside, to remain poor, oppressed, uncultivated, unknown? |
35224 | Saint Marie Benedicité, How might a man have any adversité That hath a wife?" |
35224 | There must be a cause for it surely-- but what is it? |
35224 | They profess to be warriors and hunters, and are so; we profess to be Christians and civilised-- are we so? |
35224 | This looks well, and it_ is_ well; but what are the present state and probable progress of this Chippewa settlement? |
35224 | To how many is the Indian hell already realised on this earth? |
35224 | To insure the accomplishment of those benevolent and earnest aspirations, in which so many good people indulge, what is required? |
35224 | We asked if the governor were at the Manitoolin Island? |
35224 | What can be the reason that all flourishes_ there_, and all languishes_ here_? |
35224 | What say you to this reasoning of our great moralist? |
35224 | What then are our church and our government about? |
35224 | What would now be the fate of such unresisting and confiding angels? |
35224 | When any one asks me gaily the so common and common- place question-- common even in these our rational times--"Do you now really believe in ghosts?" |
35224 | When presented with a silver medal of authority from the American government, he said haughtily,"What need of this? |
35224 | Whence and what are we,"that things whose sense we see not, frey us with things that be not?" |
35224 | Where did I leave off four days ago? |
35224 | Where was I? |
35224 | Why not set up at once a"_ fabrique d''education_,"and educate us by steam? |
35224 | Why then should love be treated less seriously than death? |
35224 | Why, indeed, should we ever despair? |
35224 | Will be? |
35224 | Will you suffer me to bleed to death without stanching my wounds? |
35224 | and can you not fancy the possibility of setting to music in the same manner Raffaelle''s Cupid and Psyche, or his Galatea, or the group of the Niobe? |
35224 | does it not reduce the whole moral law to something merely conventional? |
35224 | have my fellow- warriors already forgotten me? |
35224 | is it a mystery? |
35224 | is it a necessity? |
35224 | is there none who will recollect my face, or offer me a morsel of flesh?" |
35224 | knowest thou not that I too am a spirit, and seek only to re- enter my body? |
35224 | means, are you ready? |
35224 | or can you send some of our colonial officials across the Atlantic to behold and solve the difficulty? |
35224 | or with coarseness, as a mere impulse? |
35224 | or with fear, as a mere disease? |
35224 | or with levity, as a mere accident? |
35224 | or with shame, as a mere weakness? |
35224 | signifies, will you take refreshment? |
35224 | the lakes Cast up their sparkling waters to the light? |
35224 | thinkest thou to make me turn back? |
35224 | what and whence is it?--Can you tell? |
35224 | what is expected? |
35224 | what is the matter with the young Long- knife? |
35224 | what should I do? |
35224 | whereabouts_ is_ Colonel Talbot''s?" |
35224 | who knows or cares about Pontiac and his Ottawas? |
35224 | why are you punishing yourself? |
35224 | why do you fast? |
35224 | will you let me starve in the midst of food? |
30349 | ''Ow you get''urted? |
30349 | Ai n''t she the brazen sassy thing? |
30349 | And I spoke of it, did I? 30349 And have-- have you been here all the time?" |
30349 | And so,ventured the good wife, amiably,"you iss likely de sister from Hugo Ennis, ma''am?" |
30349 | And would you like me to close the door now? |
30349 | And-- and that is the sort of place you''ve brought me to? |
30349 | And-- and what d''ye think about it, Miss Sophy? |
30349 | And-- and where''s the town-- or the village-- and the other people, the friends who were to greet me? |
30349 | And-- and ye left her at Hugo''s shack, did ye? |
30349 | Any oders as need help? |
30349 | Anything for us, Joe? |
30349 | Are you busy, Joe? |
30349 | Are-- are you Hugo Ennis? |
30349 | But I wonder who the deuce she was going to shoot with that thing? |
30349 | But look here, Stefan, what are you butting in for? |
30349 | But the stone? |
30349 | But what right have you to be ordering us about? |
30349 | But when''s she due, Joe? |
30349 | But who did it? |
30349 | But you''ll tell me, Joe, wo n''t you? |
30349 | But-- couldn''t I walk? 30349 Could n''t I get out and walk for a while? |
30349 | D''ye happen to know whether there''s a-- a young''ooman there too? |
30349 | D''ye know for sure what kind o''place ye''re goin''to? 30349 D''ye know who she is?" |
30349 | Dat all vhat dere is for Toumichouan? |
30349 | Did she say she was anyways related to him? 30349 Do you expect to keep on looking after this man?" |
30349 | Do you expect to stay up all night? |
30349 | Do you really think that you can manage to stay here for another day? |
30349 | Do you think that-- that Mr. Ennis will come soon? |
30349 | Do you think you would like some of those nice fresh eggs Mrs. Papineau''s little girl brought this morning? |
30349 | Do-- do they suspect any one? |
30349 | Do-- do you really believe such a thing? |
30349 | Do-- do you really understand? 30349 Git back there, Sophy, what''s the matter with ye? |
30349 | Going in for provisions? 30349 Him Hugo yoost say,''Now I kin look Mis''Olsen in de face, vhen ve gets back, eh, old pard?''" |

30349 | How do you do, Miss Nelson? |
30349 | How do, peoples? |
30349 | How is Hugo gettin''long? |
30349 | How long ago did they leave? |
30349 | How''d she stand the trip? 30349 How-- how long have I been asleep?" |
30349 | I hope you ai n''t hurted none, leddy? |
30349 | I reckon you got out to Roarin''Falls all safe with that there pooty gal, did n''t ye? |
30349 | I wonder what will come of it? |

30349 | Is there anything else you would like? |
30349 | Is-- is everything all right? |
30349 | Is-- is that your-- your house, the-- the residence you spoke of? |
30349 | Leetle leddy,he said, gently,"vos it true as you shot him? |
30349 | Me? |
30349 | Mistaken, was it? |

30349 | Poor little thing, I wonder what''s to become of her? 30349 Py de looks off tem togs I tink you ban in some hurry, no?" |

30349 | What d''ye say, Stefan? |
30349 | What did she do? |
30349 | What do you think of it, Madge? |
30349 | What do you want to know? |
30349 | What does this mean? |
30349 | What for? |
30349 | What is that river? |
30349 | What letters? |
30349 | What revenge was that you was referring to? |
30349 | What was it about, Joe? |
30349 | What we want to know is who you are, and what right ye''ve got to order us about and say who''s goin''in and who''s to keep out? |
30349 | What''s all that? |
30349 | What''s the matter with him? |
30349 | What''s the matter with ye? 30349 What''s the matter?" |
30349 | What''s your hurry? 30349 Where did you leave your passenger of this morning?" |
30349 | Where does one get it? |
30349 | Where''s Hugo Ennis? |
30349 | Who go an''shoot you? |
30349 | Who know? 30349 Who wants a doctor?" |
30349 | Who''s getting messages? 30349 Who''s the strange lady, Stefan?" |
30349 | Why do you think so? |
30349 | Will you please go and find out if Mr. Ennis is there, and whether he is all right again? 30349 Wo n''t the dogs be dreadfully tired,"she asked,"if you go back so soon?" |
30349 | Wo n''t you come in and warm yourself a while? |
30349 | Wonder who''s coming? 30349 Would you like me to get you an envelope, for it?" |
30349 | Ye was n''t here to see, was ye? 30349 You''d fixed it up to spend the night at Papineau''s?" |
30349 | You''ll hurry, wo n''t you? |
30349 | You-- you believe me, do n''t you? |
30349 | Your husband? |
30349 | Your-- your friend, Monsieur Hugo, is dreadfully ill, do you understand, child? 30349 Ai n''t she the hot- tempered thing? 30349 Ai n''t you got skins to put on? |
30349 | Ain''t-- ain''t tryin''to hide behind a gal''s skirts, are ye?" |
30349 | Ain''t-- ain''t you there, Stefan?" |
30349 | And she ai n''t asked for money, ai n''t that funny? |
30349 | And so that there young''ooman''s been up there a matter o''three- four days, ai n''t she?" |
30349 | And what if, at least in part, she had spoken the truth? |
30349 | And-- and who are you? |
30349 | And-- and you know vhat is first ting he say vhen he vake up?" |
30349 | Are you certain it''s all right?" |
30349 | Are you going back to- day?" |
30349 | But if he was a minute late, what then? |
30349 | But in this case how could a fellow be brutal to a poor thing that wailed like a child, that seemed weaker than one and more in need of gentle care? |
30349 | But then how had she got hold of his name and how had she ever heard of Roaring River? |
30349 | But what if he were very ill? |
30349 | But what would he think? |
30349 | But-- but can I really earn all this-- are you sure that it isn''t--""Charity on my part?" |
30349 | Ca n''t you find another lamp here-- this one does n''t give much light?" |
30349 | Can you realize what it is to be at the very end of one''s tether?" |
30349 | Could he have realized that her saving grace might avert condign punishment? |
30349 | Could you take me over to the depot in time for the afternoon train west? |
30349 | D''ye tink dey vant ter bodder Hugo, or de lady, Stefan?" |
30349 | D''ye want to be torn to pieces? |
30349 | Did he ever speak of havin''some gal back east?" |
30349 | Did he think that a few halting words could atone for his cruelty, could dispel the evil he had wrought? |
30349 | Did n''t Hugo Ennis tell you bring varm clothes vid you?" |
30349 | Did ye see if her nose was still on her face when ye got there?" |
30349 | Did you follow my orders? |
30349 | Do n''t you beliefe? |
30349 | Do n''t you know there''s the Sullivan law now? |
30349 | Do n''t you remember the county surveyors told us so last year?" |
30349 | Do you think I''ve been a shameless creature to venture into this? |
30349 | Do you think such a word could express all that a man would be overwhelmed with if he had done such a thing? |
30349 | Do you think you could try a little cold corned beef? |
30349 | Do-- do you really think he''s going to die?" |
30349 | Don''t-- don''t come back without a doctor will you?" |
30349 | Don''t-- don''t you feel something of-- of the same sort, or-- or do you still think the joke was a good one?" |
30349 | Don''t-- don''t you understand me? |
30349 | Ennis?" |
30349 | Guess ye''ve been settin''too close to the hot stove, ai n''t ye? |
30349 | Had Madge noticed how gentle he was with the little children? |
30349 | Had n''t the doctor said that incessant care might perhaps, with luck, bring about a recovery? |
30349 | He say,''How I look at your voman an''de kids in de face, vhen I gets back vidout you?'' |
30349 | He wondered whether, perhaps, this had been the case with her? |
30349 | Here''s a can of condensed milk; wo n''t you help yourself? |
30349 | His sister or something like that?" |
30349 | How can I ever thank you?" |
30349 | How could he keep it so tranquil and unmoved? |
30349 | How could they breathe? |
30349 | How d''ye know she done it a- purpose, for revenge? |
30349 | How dared he offer to pay for what she had done? |
30349 | How does it strike you?" |
30349 | How is he?" |
30349 | How long would it take me to get there?" |
30349 | How should I know what she would do?" |
30349 | How you do, sare? |
30349 | How''s Hugo-- Hugo Ennis?" |
30349 | Hugo would be a neighbor, for what are a dozen miles or so in the wilderness? |
30349 | I suppose you know that you''re soon going to be called as a witness?" |
30349 | I-- I think a good many things work that way in the world, don''t-- don''t you, Mr. Ennis? |
30349 | If Ennis he come you tell him come ofer to me, ye hear?" |
30349 | If this was the case, what would it avail for him to take her back to the railway? |
30349 | In a few moments she would see for the first time the man she was to marry]"What''s that?" |
30349 | Is n''t that the freight''s whistle? |
30349 | It stood to reason that the man had written those letters; how could it be otherwise? |
30349 | It-- it has n''t proved such a very good one, has it? |
30349 | Jus''telegraph quick now an''h''ask for answer ven dat_ docteur_ he come, you''ear me?" |
30349 | Let me see, where did I put them? |
30349 | Lost something on the road, has he?" |
30349 | May be ye''d like to see it, Miss Sophy? |
30349 | Maybe de good Lord Heem''ear an''tink let heem lif a whiles yet, eh?" |
30349 | Mebbe get all right again, eh? |
30349 | My man Philippe''e come to- morrow, maybe to- night, an''I send heem to Carcajou so he telegraph to de_ docteur_ for see you, eh?" |
30349 | Old man Symonds at the mill?" |
30349 | One dog heem not much nurse, eh?" |
30349 | Rather unexpected, was n''t it? |
30349 | See ye did n''t manage ter freeze them whiskers off''n yer face, did ye?" |
30349 | She did not understand; how could she? |
30349 | She would lay the envelope on the table, with its contents, and quietly say-- well, what could she say? |
30349 | Supposing that he was telling the truth, what then? |
30349 | Then why had he played such a sorry joke on a woman who had never injured him? |
30349 | Und vhat you tank he do, ma''am? |
30349 | Vat for he shoot?" |
30349 | Vhat he care for de red- headed t''ing?" |
30349 | Was n''t it funny? |
30349 | Was n''t it possible for one, in such a case, to do queer things and never remember anything about them afterwards? |
30349 | Was n''t it queer? |
30349 | Was she really insane? |
30349 | Was there any hope that this outflowing life would ever turn in its course and return like an incoming tide? |
30349 | Were there any who had reason to dislike him; had he made love to any of them? |
30349 | What Docteur Starr heem say before he go?" |
30349 | What are ye goin''to do for him? |
30349 | What consolation or comfort could he proffer? |
30349 | What did she care? |
30349 | What difference could it make? |
30349 | What had possessed her to spend some of her scant store of money in that dirty little shop for a pistol? |
30349 | What if her errand seemed fantastic, unreal, since this new world also was like some illusion of a dream? |
30349 | What if neither of the child''s conclusions was correct? |
30349 | What if some amazing distortion of reality had truly and honestly given her these beliefs, through evidence that must be all against him? |
30349 | What mattered it how many dogs he had? |
30349 | What object was there in moving there or anywhere else? |
30349 | What on earth was the matter? |
30349 | What right had a man who was guilty of such conduct to begin proffering a repentance that was unavailing, nay, contemptible? |
30349 | What was the use of anything she might do? |
30349 | What would happen to her then? |
30349 | What would he be like? |
30349 | What would he think of her? |
30349 | What you tank? |
30349 | What''s happened to Stefan to make him go back? |
30349 | What''s that ye was goin''to say?" |
30349 | What''s your purpose in coming here?" |
30349 | What-- what can I do for you?" |
30349 | What-- what do you think of it yourself, honestly? |
30349 | What-- what is the use of my saying anything more? |
30349 | Where are they?" |
30349 | Where was she going to? |
30349 | Where would she drift to after that? |
30349 | Who could say? |
30349 | Who vant to start de row now, who begin? |
30349 | Who was she that she should aspire to this thing? |
30349 | Who would have thought of such a thing? |
30349 | Why do n''t ye come right out with it?" |
30349 | Why had he not found a suitable mate in that country? |
30349 | Why should n''t one believe a man with such frank and honest eyes, one who would n''t harm even a dog and was loved and trusted by little children? |
30349 | Why that last sacrilegious lie he had uttered? |
30349 | Why, why do n''t you speak, man?" |
30349 | Will you take me to Carcajou in good time? |
30349 | Would he imagine that she was running after him and trying to compel him to marry her? |
30349 | Would she again see him able to lift up his head, to speak in words no longer dictated by the vagaries of delirium? |
30349 | You vant to go, no?" |
30349 | You want for see?" |
8132 | ''And why the devil do you want me to spare him?'' 8132 ''Dare not do what?'' |
8132 | ''Do you get champagne in Canada, Aunty?'' 8132 ''How is that, Grace?'' |
8132 | ''How shall we be able to accomplish it? 8132 ''Is n''t Hannah back yet?'' |
8132 | ''Is the horse ready?'' 8132 ''Oh, do n''t we?'' |
8132 | ''She sleeps with you?'' 8132 ''Well, Grace,''I said,''how is it with you now?'' |
8132 | ''When did she say she would be back?'' 8132 ''Where''s Hannah?'' |
8132 | ''Why do you doubt my word, Macdermot? 8132 ''Wife,''he said,''whose cart is this standin''at the door? |
8132 | ''Will you not stay till after dinner, Sir?'' 8132 ''Would it not be glorious fun?'' |
8132 | ''You are not in earnest, Grace?'' 8132 A doll that could speak? |
8132 | And pray,continued she, with the same provoking scrutiny,"how old do you call yourself?" |
8132 | And the brother? |
8132 | And those two little boys; what are they here for? |
8132 | And what account does the lad give of himself? |
8132 | And what caused your son''s separation from his uncle? |
8132 | And what struck you most when you got there? |
8132 | And you are going to Quebec for no other purpose than to look at Lord Elgin? 8132 Are they fools?" |
8132 | Are you in earnest? |
8132 | Are you very young? |
8132 | As how? |
8132 | As how? |
8132 | As that is the case, perhaps you can tell me if I am likely to have a good house to- night? |
8132 | Away from whom? 8132 But airn''t you greatly troubled with headaches?" |
8132 | But what can I do? |
8132 | But what is it about?--Have you got it with you? |
8132 | But who cares about the poor, whether they go into mourning for their friends or no? 8132 But why, then, make a show of that which you do not feel?" |
8132 | Can she carry us? |
8132 | Could these Falls ever have receded from Queenstone? |
8132 | Dare I? 8132 Did Mrs. H--- lose much in the fire last night?" |
8132 | Did he pay you the money? |
8132 | Did you ever have it before you took the pledge? |
8132 | Do you expect a professional price for your services? |
8132 | Do you_ reelly_ think it would serve me? |
8132 | Grace asked if she should get his breakfast? 8132 Half a dollar? |
8132 | Half a dollar? |
8132 | Have you been sick? |
8132 | Have you seen the bride yet? 8132 Ho, ho, mister,--is that you? |
8132 | How could sensible, good men, condemn poor old women to death for being witches? |
8132 | How was that? |
8132 | How will the funeral expenses ever be paid? |
8132 | How? |
8132 | I guess,she said,"that you are a married man?" |
8132 | I say, Mrs. C---, how be you? |
8132 | I want to ask you a question,she said, laying her very white hand confidingly on my arm;"were those Englishmen quizzing my sister and me?" |
8132 | Indeed, Biddy, what did he scold you for? |
8132 | Is Mr. C--- your brother? |
8132 | Is he handsome? |
8132 | Is he not a glorious old fellow? |
8132 | Is not that bee- u- tiful? |
8132 | Is she not? 8132 Is that your baby, Cissy?" |
8132 | Katrine, where are you? |
8132 | Look,said he;"Now where is Henry Hertz; and Henry Russell, where is he? |
8132 | Need you ask that question? |
8132 | Now, Mr.---, was it not too bad of you to make that man break his pledge? |
8132 | Now,thought I,"what is this clever fellow going to do?" |
8132 | Oh, mother,he murmured,"is that the way you treat the lady?" |
8132 | Perhaps the cold water does not agree with you? |
8132 | Perhaps, Mr. Browne,said I,"you took it for the ghost of the old mare?" |
8132 | Perhaps,said I, losing all patience,"you would prefer a family ticket?" |
8132 | Sackcloth? 8132 She put down the pails,--she sprang towards me, and, clinging to my arm, exclaimed in frantic tones--"''You wo n''t kill him?'' |
8132 | The poor creature turned away, and I left her, for who could say a word of comfort to such grief? 8132 The woman that writes?" |
8132 | To visit friends? |
8132 | Was it any relation of yours? |
8132 | Well, Anne, is Mr.--- dead? |
8132 | Well, arn''t that too bad? |
8132 | Were you ever in the United States? |
8132 | What are her friends thinking about to let that young gal marry that old bald- headed man? |
8132 | What detained you so long, James? 8132 What did you admire in them?" |
8132 | What did you expect to see in her? |
8132 | What is it? |
8132 | What next? |
8132 | What shall we do for firewood when all the forests are burned? |
8132 | What think you of a small wine- glass of brandy just before taking dinner? |
8132 | What will they find out next? 8132 What will you have now?" |
8132 | What''s all this noise about? |
8132 | What''s the damage? |
8132 | Where is he? 8132 Where is the bank?" |
8132 | Where shall I get the best room? |
8132 | Who is Jeanie Burns? 8132 Who is that tall, stout, handsome man, with the fat lady on his arm, who has just entered the room?" |
8132 | Why do you shut your eyes? |
8132 | You believe that God will pardon you, Michael, for Christ''s sake; but have you forgiven all your enemies? |
8132 | You do n''t say? |
8132 | You have seen a great deal of the world? |
8132 | You wish me to give you a double ticket? |
8132 | ''Do these men preach for their own honour and glory, or for the glory of God? |
8132 | ''What are you doing here?'' |
8132 | ''What is she better than us?'' |
8132 | ( aloud) Do you think that I would waste my talents in singing trash that any jackass could bray? |
8132 | After a long pause, and another searching gaze,"Do you call those teeth your own?" |
8132 | After a pause, scratching his head, and shuffling with his feet,"I s''pose you ginnerally give the profession tickets?" |
8132 | After standing here, and looking at them for some minutes, she drawled through her nose--''Well, I declare, is that all? |
8132 | Ai n''t you the chap as is a- goin''to give us the con- sort this evening?" |
8132 | An''could he have done worse had he stuck a knife into his heart?" |
8132 | And have I come eighteen miles to look at you? |
8132 | And pray how many hares did you catch, Alderman John?''" |
8132 | And the Old English Gentleman, Martin Luther, what has become of him? |
8132 | And why, we ask, should death be invested with such horror? |
8132 | And why? |
8132 | And you, John L---, Alderman L---, are not six days enough in the week for work and pastime, that you must go hunting of hares on a holiday? |
8132 | Are not you indebted to the circumstances in which you are placed, and to that moral education, for every virtue that you possess? |
8132 | Are you able to read it for yourself?" |
8132 | At the door of the hotel I was accosted by Mr. Browne--"Why, you arn''t goin''to start without bidding me good- bye? |
8132 | Before I could ask the cause of her dejection, she added quickly--"Dare you read a chapter from the Bible to a dying man?" |
8132 | Browne?" |
8132 | Browne?'' |
8132 | But did we not come on famously at the_ con- sort?_ Confess, now, that I beat you holler. |
8132 | But how were they lost?" |
8132 | But what do you think of the Falls?" |
8132 | But what matters it to thee if the song is forgotten by coming generations? |
8132 | But what of this marriage? |
8132 | But who mistrusts the blunt, straightforward speech of the land of Burns? |
8132 | But who now would have the fortitude and self- denial to imitate such an example? |
8132 | But, let me ask you candidly, has not the terrible scene produced some effect? |
8132 | CHAPTER XIX Conclusion"Why dost thou fear to speak the honest truth? |
8132 | Can the wide world supply such another? |
8132 | Can you forget its existence,--its shocking reality? |
8132 | Can you wonder, then, that I am so depressed? |
8132 | Did he not break his heart, and turn him dying an''pinniless on the wide world? |
8132 | Did he not condescend to bow that God- like form over the carpenter''s bench, and handle the plane and saw? |
8132 | Did not you see that fine drove of cows pass the hotel at sunset?" |
8132 | Did our first father, amidst the fresh young beauty of his Eden, ever gaze upon a spectacle more worthy of his admiration than this? |
8132 | Did she remember me on her death- bed?'' |
8132 | Did you hear how old P--- was to- day?" |
8132 | Did you not notice the arrival of Mr. P--- among the list of distinguished foreigners that honoured your great city with their presence?" |
8132 | Do you think I want to hang myself?'' |
8132 | Does it afford any consolation to the living? |
8132 | Does it confer any benefit on the dead? |
8132 | Does it soften one regretful pang, or dry one bitter tear, or make the wearers wiser or better? |
8132 | G---?" |
8132 | Had Willie nae word for me?'' |
8132 | He fell-- by one dark vice defiled; Was I more pure-- his erring child? |
8132 | He naturally inquired if her husband was better? |
8132 | How dar''d you to leave the cradle widout my lave?" |
8132 | How much dew you ax to come in? |
8132 | How much is there of it?" |
8132 | How was she dressed? |
8132 | I asked the age of her son? |
8132 | I asked the gentleman who showed us over the building, what country sent the most prisoners to the Penitentiary? |
8132 | I can weel imagin''the flutterin''o''her heart, when she spiered o''the coarse wife''if her ain Willie Robertson was at hame?'' |
8132 | I s''pose you are going to give an extra sing here-- ain''t you?" |
8132 | If I live until the morning, will you, Madam, come and read to me again?" |
8132 | In what, then, does my ingratitude to the_ Irish people_ consist? |
8132 | Is he better or worse?" |
8132 | Is he married?" |
8132 | Is he_ dangerous_?" |
8132 | Is it a bargain?" |
8132 | Is it not a reproach to Him, who, in his wisdom, appointed death to pass upon all men? |
8132 | Is it not sinful to doubt the power of that Being, who fed a vast multitude from a few loaves and small fishes? |
8132 | Is it not terrible for ladies to have to dance in the same room with storekeepers and their clerks?" |
8132 | Is n''t he a fine clever little chap?" |
8132 | Is n''t that something_ oncommon?_ I took it for a real child. |
8132 | Is she tall, or short? |
8132 | Is you acquainted with the man who is a- goin''to give a sing in your town to- night? |
8132 | Lively, or quiet?" |
8132 | M---?" |
8132 | Michael, shall I commence now?" |
8132 | Might not the arm of diligence make the tangled wilderness a garden? |
8132 | Might not the wide waste sea be bent into narrower bounds? |
8132 | Morally or physically, does it produce the least good? |
8132 | My husband asked the son of a respectable farmer, for whom he entertained an esteem, how his father was, for he had not seen him for some time? |
8132 | N---?" |
8132 | Of a bright summer evening( and when is a Canadian summer evening otherwise?) |
8132 | Often have I asked the poor Catholics in my employ why such and such days were holy days? |
8132 | On returning to the sick room, Michael eagerly asked what the doctor thought of him? |
8132 | On what footing do they stand with their white brethren? |
8132 | Pretty, or plain? |
8132 | Says he to the doorkeeper,"What''s a- goin on here?" |
8132 | She sat upon the bed, and looked cautiously round--"Hist!--did not you hear a voice? |
8132 | Smiling as the morning fair; Why do we confiding trust In trifles light as air? |
8132 | Stupid, or clever? |
8132 | Suddenly he came up to me, and extending his hand, exclaimed,--"Why, Mister H---, is this you? |
8132 | Tell me, James, something about her?" |
8132 | That is-- I want to say-- what are you goin''to chearge a ticket?" |
8132 | The men are bad enough, but the women,--I dare say you have heard them called handsome?" |
8132 | The musician moves among his fellow- men as a sort of privileged person; for who ever suspects him of being a rogue? |
8132 | The smooth tones of the blarney may flatter our vanity, and please us for the moment, but who places any confidence in those by whom it is employed? |
8132 | Then she turned to me, and whispered very confidentially in my ear,"Are you mad? |
8132 | Then wherefore should we hang out this black banner for those who are beyond the laws of change and chance? |
8132 | Then, taking my seat at the piano with as much confidence as Braham ever had, he run his hand over the keys, exclaiming"What shall I sing? |
8132 | Three books for forty pupils? |
8132 | To my great astonishment it ran as follows:--"My Dear Roberts,"How do you do? |
8132 | To the boys:"What, nobody got a piece of chalk? |
8132 | Was it possible that she could escape drowning amid such a mad roar of waves? |
8132 | Was she not young and lovely still? |
8132 | What berth are you goin''to take?" |
8132 | What do you think of Canada?" |
8132 | What do you think of her? |
8132 | What good can it do?" |
8132 | What have they done?" |
8132 | What ill Press''d the warm life- hopes from her heart? |
8132 | What is it worth?" |
8132 | What is that to me? |
8132 | What shall I send you home-- sirloin, ribs, a tender steak?" |
8132 | What sort of a noise do you call that? |
8132 | What sort of an animal do you suppose him to be?" |
8132 | What value do they place upon the negro beyond his price in dollars and cents? |
8132 | What were you saying just now to that boy?'' |
8132 | When we were half- way, the question rose in my mind--"What if the cable should give way, where should we land?" |
8132 | When will men be worthy of the paradise in which they are placed? |
8132 | Where are your steelyards?" |
8132 | Where is the need of all this black parade? |
8132 | Where, where is my fiddle? |
8132 | Which side of the bed does she lie on?'' |
8132 | Which way did she go?'' |
8132 | Who is dying?" |
8132 | Who is ill? |
8132 | Who the devil would think it worth their while to break into the harness house to cut a saddle, when they could have carried it off entirely? |
8132 | Who''s got a piece of chalk?" |
8132 | Would any other creed suit them as well? |
8132 | an''what do these people want here?'' |
8132 | and_ you_ here?" |
8132 | are you turned coward now?'' |
8132 | cried the landlord;"ca n''t you lift the valance and see what it is?" |
8132 | did not you hear about it? |
8132 | for Columbia''s_ sable sons!_ Where is their equality? |
8132 | for was he not one of you? |
8132 | heard ye not a sound?" |
8132 | how sud I ken that Willie Robertson-- my ain Willie-- had a wife? |
8132 | if you were so well off, what brought you to a poor country like this? |
8132 | is that man mad or drunk?" |
8132 | is thy memory and thy faith greater than the attachment of this poor, and, as we term him, unreasoning brute, to his dead master? |
8132 | my bhoy!--why did you die?--Why did You lave your frinds, and your money, and your good clothes, and your poor owld mother?" |
8132 | rise and say, What in Fancy''s glass you see-- A city crown this lonely bay? |
8132 | said I,"that''s very unusual in a canal- boat; were any lives lost?" |
8132 | she cried;"what business is it of yours? |
8132 | thought I,''can this be a woman? |
8132 | we shall all go to the bottom, and find eternity there-- Captain captain-- where be we?" |
8132 | what do you mane by disturbing him in his dying moments wid yer thrash? |
8132 | what next will the love of gain suggest to these gold- worshippers? |
8132 | when will the long horror of her punishment and remorse be over? |
8132 | why should he escape more than Hannah? |
21227 | All right, Dan, my boy,said Hamish heartily;"it''s always best to look ahead, as Mr Rugg would say.--What do you think, Shenac?" |
21227 | Allister,said his sister,"do you think Cousin Shenac is changed lately?" |
21227 | Allister? |
21227 | Am I growing foolish, Shenac? 21227 Am I, Hamish?" |
21227 | And afterwards? |
21227 | And leave my mother and you? |
21227 | And my mother? |
21227 | And what about Hughie? |
21227 | And what did she say? |
21227 | And what did you say to him? |
21227 | And what is there surprising in it? |
21227 | And what would become of us all? |
21227 | And what''s to be done? |
21227 | And will she not? |
21227 | And you do not grudge me to my rest, dear? |
21227 | And you think you could do higher work somewhere else? |
21227 | And, Shenac, what was it that the minister said afterwards about the new song? |
21227 | Anywhere, I suppose? |
21227 | Are not you and he good friends, Shenac? |
21227 | Are you hard, Shenac, and cross? 21227 Are you no better? |
21227 | Because of Evan? |
21227 | But could you not see his pretty things last night? 21227 But if I am content, and can make you content?" |
21227 | But if it is true, what is the difference whether it is said or not? |
21227 | But if you were to do the wool, and then something was to happen that I could not plough or sow the field, what then? |
21227 | But the two Shenacs were never unfriendly? |
21227 | But what are we to do in the meantime? |
21227 | But what would they care for a girl like Shenac, if I were to tell? |
21227 | But why ask John Firinn of all the folk in the world? |
21227 | But you did not anger him, Shenac, surely? |
21227 | But, Hamish, you really think it will be better for me to go? |
21227 | But, Shenac, what else could you do but trust God if I were to die? |
21227 | But, Shenac,said Hamish gravely,"does our mother know? |
21227 | Come, now, a''n''t there something I''ve got that you want? |
21227 | Could you come here and do it? |
21227 | Could you not make one, Hamish? |
21227 | Did Allister tell you? 21227 Did I not tell you, Shenac, that God would never drown them in the sea?" |
21227 | Did I tell you that I had a letter from Mr Stewart to- day, Shenac? |
21227 | Did you hear what we were saying? |
21227 | Did you tell them that when you asked them? |
21227 | Do n''t I? |
21227 | Do they? 21227 Do you know how ill the wife has been?" |
21227 | Do you like living in the city? |
21227 | Do you mean what is the good of algebra, or what would be the good of it to you? |
21227 | Do you never think so? |
21227 | Do you not know? 21227 Do you remember, Hamish,"she continued( and her voice grew low and awed as she said it)--"do you remember the night you were so ill? |
21227 | Do you think it is wrong for me to wish to go away from home-- for a while, I mean? |
21227 | Do you think so, Shenac Dhu?--You surely can not think so meanly of me, Hamish? |
21227 | Do you think so? |
21227 | Does Mr Stewart know? |
21227 | From home? 21227 Hamish, what should I do?" |
21227 | Hamish,she repeated,"what is it? |
21227 | Hamish,she said after a little,"what do you think of my asking John Firinn to plough the land for the wheat-- and to sow it too, for that matter?" |
21227 | Hamish,she said eagerly,"what ails you? |
21227 | Have you anything to say to him that I could tell him afterwards? 21227 Have you been hearkening to one of John Firinn''s stories? |
21227 | Have you been long here, Allister? |
21227 | How much would it cost? |
21227 | How? |
21227 | I can not do much good by staying here, can I? 21227 I could learn that too, but what would be the good of it?" |
21227 | I must not stay,she continued.--"Hamish, have you done with your book? |
21227 | Is he wandering? |
21227 | Is it Angus Dhu that is concerned, and the Camerons? |
21227 | Is it a bee? |
21227 | Is it about Evan, Shenac? |
21227 | Is our Allister one whose well- doing need astonish any one? 21227 Is she not a picture? |
21227 | Is she not a vain creature? |
21227 | Is that it? 21227 May I?" |
21227 | Mother,said Dan, as he came in to his dinner one day,"have you any message to The Sixteenth? |
21227 | No,said Shenac;"was he well?" |
21227 | No; what was it? |
21227 | Nobody but you and me to do anything; and what can_ we_ do? |
21227 | Not to John Firinn''s surely? 21227 Oh, what about Shenac?" |
21227 | Oh, what will be left? |
21227 | Open it, Shenac; what ails you? |
21227 | Shall I tell you when I thought so, Shenac? 21227 Shenac, good, dear child, is it well with you?" |
21227 | Shenac, what kept you? |
21227 | Shenac,said her cousin kindly,"have you not undertaken too much? |
21227 | Shenac,said her cousin one day,"why were you not at the kirk last Sabbath? |
21227 | Shenac,said her cousin, reading her thought,"you would not have Allister come and leave him? |
21227 | Shenac,she said,"why did you not go to bed, as I bade you? |
21227 | Should I ask it now, dear? |
21227 | Surely you do not think you can do more or better than my mother? |
21227 | The chief of the clan, and the boss of the shanty,said Hamish gravely;"and that was you, Dan, was it not?" |
21227 | There''s no hurry about it, is there? |
21227 | Was it wrong for him to take it, do you think, Hamish? |
21227 | Was this for Hamish only? |
21227 | Well, Shenac? |
21227 | Well, what do you think of it, girls? |
21227 | Well? |
21227 | What about Evan, Allister? |
21227 | What aileth thee, Shenac Bhan, bonny Shenac, Shenac the farmer, Shenac the fair? 21227 What ails me?" |
21227 | What book, Hamish? |
21227 | What can you do with it? |
21227 | What could happen, John, man? |
21227 | What did they say, Dan? |
21227 | What do you suppose the elder cares about a girl like you, or Angus Dhu either? |
21227 | What do you think it is, Shenac? |
21227 | What else could I do? |
21227 | What in the world kept you so long? |
21227 | What in the world should all me? 21227 What is it? |
21227 | What is the use of going? |
21227 | What next, I wonder? 21227 What right have I to tell my mother-- I, who can do nothing?" |
21227 | What was it, Hamish? 21227 What was it?" |
21227 | What will Sandy care for a girl like Shenac? |
21227 | What will you do with it, Shenac? |
21227 | What would be the good of it to me? 21227 What would be the good of that? |
21227 | What''s that about Shenac yonder? |
21227 | Whisht, Dan; let''s have no quarrelling,pleaded the mother.--"Why do you vex him?" |
21227 | Who told you, Hamish? 21227 Why did you not ask my father himself?" |
21227 | Why should I not do the same? |
21227 | Why should she be? |
21227 | Why, indeed? |
21227 | Will it? |
21227 | Will you give your hair to me, Shenac? |
21227 | Will you have it, Miss Shenac? |
21227 | Will you tell me in what respect you think you are not fit? |
21227 | Wo n''t there? 21227 You need not be, dear; why should you be afraid even of trouble?" |
21227 | --"he would be sure to come?" |
21227 | Am I to blame?" |
21227 | And Evan himself? |
21227 | And are you to get a dress of the blue and white?" |
21227 | And as for being a great deal older, how old are you, Shenac?" |
21227 | And do you mind how you made pancakes for supper, and never let one of them burn, though you were listening all the time to Hamish and me? |
21227 | And what words shall describe the joyful pride of Shenac? |
21227 | And where will you get your loom?" |
21227 | And why should you have nothing to look forward to? |
21227 | And why should you think of this now, more than before?" |
21227 | And yet, what did it matter, now that the end had come? |
21227 | And yet, why not? |
21227 | Are you glad, Hamish?" |
21227 | Are you not pleased, Shenac?" |
21227 | At last she made a grasp at the question they had been discussing, and said hurriedly,--"But there is nothing to vex Shenac in that, surely?" |
21227 | But for what am I saying all this to children like you? |
21227 | But if Allister did not come soon? |
21227 | But she did not tell him so; where would have been the good? |
21227 | But was he really better? |
21227 | But what can we do with it? |
21227 | Could it be anything Dan has said? |
21227 | Did Hamish see that light? |
21227 | Did he never tell you?" |
21227 | Did he see her? |
21227 | Did these people see it? |
21227 | Did they see something hidden from her? |
21227 | Did you not get my letter? |
21227 | Did you not then and there show him the door?" |
21227 | Did you see Angus Dhu?" |
21227 | Do n''t you care for that, Shenac? |
21227 | Do n''t you mind, Hamish, what she once said about our going with her to M---, you and me? |
21227 | Do n''t you mind?" |
21227 | Do n''t you think we can manage to keep together till Allister comes home? |
21227 | Do we want anything, mother? |
21227 | Do you know it, Hamish?" |
21227 | Do you know what my life''s work is to be? |
21227 | Do you know, Shenac, your eyes look twice as big as they used to do, and twice as black?" |
21227 | Do you mind how you comforted Flora, and put the little lads to shame for having left her? |
21227 | Do you mind the night that I brought little Flora home, crying with the cold? |
21227 | Do you think it''s to oblige you that Sandy McMillan is hanging about here and bothering folk with his bees and his bees? |
21227 | Hamish can do without me; but how shall I ever do without him?" |
21227 | Hamish, bhodach, what is a year out of a whole lifetime? |
21227 | Hamish, do n''t you mind?" |
21227 | Hamish,"she added, suddenly stooping down over him,"do you think any plan made to separate you and me will prosper? |
21227 | Has he ever disobeyed you once since-- since then?" |
21227 | Have I anything to do with it? |
21227 | Have you forgotten the verse that says,` Remove not the ancient land- mark''?" |
21227 | Have you forgotten, Shenac?" |
21227 | Have you spoken to Shenac since?" |
21227 | Have you spoken to your sister about it?" |
21227 | He endured it only while he walked up and down the room two or three times; then pausing beside her, he said softly,--"Is this my Shenac?" |
21227 | He had never been, in country phrase,"a good scholar?" |
21227 | He made a step forward into the room, and said,--"This is Hamish, I know; but can this be our little Shenac?" |
21227 | How can I tell? |
21227 | How were they to get through harvest- time without him? |
21227 | I wonder how it all happened to him? |
21227 | Is he coming to- morrow?" |
21227 | Is it about the house and all the things? |
21227 | Is it only to jealous hearts, ignoble minds, that such tidings come with a shock of pain? |
21227 | Is it ours, or Angus Dhu''s?" |
21227 | Is it that, Hamish? |
21227 | Is it, Shenac?" |
21227 | Is she at home to- day?" |
21227 | Is there any reason that you have not told me why you should wish to go?" |
21227 | Is there no one else?" |
21227 | It was the dwelling on the same theme, the going over and over the same thing--"nothing would happen to him?" |
21227 | Mother, we must do nothing till Allister comes home.--Hamish, why do n''t you tell my mother to wait till Allister comes home?" |
21227 | Must it be? |
21227 | Must it be?" |
21227 | My mother does not care, and why should you?" |
21227 | Now tell me, is the wide stripe in the new carpet to be red or green?" |
21227 | Now, a''n''t there?" |
21227 | Once, when Hamish slumbered, Mr Stewart, touching her bowed head with his hand, whispered,--"Is it well?" |
21227 | Ought I to stay? |
21227 | Our wool-- you are going back soon, and if the waggon goes, will you ask your father to let our wool go to the mill? |
21227 | She sat looking into the fire, trying to think how she should begin, and started a little when Hamish said,--"Well, Shenac, what is it? |
21227 | She strove to answer him-- to say it was well, that she was glad to see him, and why had he not come before? |
21227 | Shenac continued:--"And do you mind what''s said of them that add field to field? |
21227 | Shenac''s voice failed a little, then she went on again,"Why should Dan go away, or any of us? |
21227 | Should I be pleased, Hamish? |
21227 | Should we have it written down, Shenac?" |
21227 | The chance to do so was nearer than she thought; for there was a touch at the door- latch, and a voice said softly,--"Are you here, Cousin Shenac? |
21227 | Then the old familiar words were heard, and yet could they be the same? |
21227 | They were earnest words, surely, but wherein did they differ from the words of other men? |
21227 | Was it the minister''s voice that made the difference? |
21227 | Was our Allister a wild lad, as your father says? |
21227 | What ails you to- night, Hamish?" |
21227 | What can I do for you, Shenac?" |
21227 | What can_ we_ do with it?" |
21227 | What could Dan or any of us do without you to plan for us? |
21227 | What could Hamish see in that plain, dark man, so grave and quiet, so much older than he? |
21227 | What could I do at the plough? |
21227 | What could ail me? |
21227 | What could be the cause of the interest that she saw in the faces of those eager hundreds? |
21227 | What could it be? |
21227 | What did his father say? |
21227 | What do you mean, Shenac? |
21227 | What do you think I heard him saying the other day to Shenac yonder?" |
21227 | What do you think it can be, Allister?" |
21227 | What in all the world can you have to do with him? |
21227 | What is Dan, or what am I, in comparison to you? |
21227 | What is it, Dan?" |
21227 | What is to hinder you from going to- morrow?" |
21227 | What made you bide so long?" |
21227 | What was his secret power? |
21227 | What was the cause of the change? |
21227 | What was to be done? |
21227 | What will Allister think?" |
21227 | What will Shenac say? |
21227 | What written words could reveal his secret of peace spoken to such a one? |
21227 | What''s a short forenoon to them? |
21227 | What''s the use of speaking to her?" |
21227 | When? |
21227 | Where is he, Shenac?" |
21227 | Where? |
21227 | Wherefore rests the shadow on thy brow, and the look of sadness in thine azure eyes?" |
21227 | Who is to hinder his getting the rest?" |
21227 | Who is to work it?" |
21227 | Who would dare to speak of the mystery of suffering and blessing through which a soul passes when God first smites, then heals? |
21227 | Who would have thought that we had been here so long?" |
21227 | Whose fence is this that I am sitting on? |
21227 | Why ca n''t we bide all together, and do the best we can, till Allister comes home?" |
21227 | Why did you not speak to my mother and tell her what we ought to do? |
21227 | Why do n''t you go to bed?" |
21227 | Why should I seek to have the land?" |
21227 | Why should I think it? |
21227 | Why should it be more dangerous to me than to the rest? |
21227 | Why should she not do the same? |
21227 | Why should we be afraid? |
21227 | Why should we need help more than other folk?" |
21227 | Why should you be in haste? |
21227 | Why? |
21227 | Will you answer me simply and truly, as Hamish would have wished his sister to answer his friend?" |
21227 | Will you ask your father, Christie?" |
21227 | Will you let me care for you always, Shenac, good and dear child?" |
21227 | Will you tell him, Shenac?" |
21227 | Would it please you, Hamish? |
21227 | Yon poor old body-- do you call_ him_ a minister? |
21227 | You are not surely going to fail our mother now-- you, who have done more than all of us put together to comfort her since then?" |
21227 | You have heard from your brother again?" |
21227 | You must have seen it, Shenac?" |
21227 | did I not tell you?" |
21227 | did big Maggie Cairns, at whose simplicity and queerness all the young people used to laugh, see it? |
21227 | did old Donald and Elspat Smith see it? |
21227 | did they hear in those words something to which her ears were deaf? |
21227 | exclaimed Shenac Dhu scornfully;"do you call_ that_ going to the kirk? |
21227 | what is it, Dan?" |
21227 | what was the secret of her brother''s peace? |
58987 | ''Tis, eh? 58987 Am I so dreadful?" |
58987 | Are you waiting for anything, Homer? |
58987 | Are your garments spotless? 58987 But how am I to make it easier for you?" |
58987 | But say, Jane,hazarded Mrs. Wilson, as one who advances an improbable and wild suggestion,"supposing Myron Holder do n''t ask, but just does it? |
58987 | But were there ever any Writhed not at passed joy? 58987 But what?" |
58987 | But-- this is the second time I have loved-- you remember the girl I brought to the farm one day? 58987 Call me stovepipe, will you?" |
58987 | Could I? |
58987 | Dare you? |
58987 | Did I know what? |
58987 | Did I know what? |
58987 | Did she tell you that he died to save My''s life? |
58987 | Did you get it? |
58987 | Did you know me? |
58987 | Did you remember the wine? |
58987 | Did you want anything? |
58987 | Do n''t you see that? 58987 Do n''t you think I am?" |
58987 | Do not be angry with me, but tell me one thing: Would you ask Suse Weaver to marry you, or Jenny Church, or Eliza Disney? |
58987 | Do you know who I am? |
58987 | For not coming? |
58987 | For the land''s sake, Bing, what are you talking about? |
58987 | Get up, you stovepipe, and let me see if it ai n''t under your chair? 58987 Good- morning, Myron,"he said;"are you going out to Deans''?" |
58987 | Good? |
58987 | Good? |
58987 | Guess that''ll sicken him, eh? |
58987 | Have to get up early in the morning, eh, Jane? |
58987 | Have you a sore throat? |
58987 | Hear of any one dead? |
58987 | His real name-- Henry Willis? 58987 How d''ye do? |
58987 | How is it you are in the dark? |
58987 | How was it, Homer? 58987 How''s things getting on with you, Myron?" |
58987 | Hullo, Myron; where''ve you been? |
58987 | I did n''t get any purple,said Mrs. Deans,"but I might get it----""Say, would n''t red and blue mix for purple?" |
58987 | I seen old Mrs. Holder and the young one; it''s named----"What? |
58987 | I will know in the morning? |
58987 | Is it for me? |
58987 | Is that child my grandson? |
58987 | Is that how you are going to evidence the new mercy you have found-- by going out into the world to deceive people? |
58987 | Is there any track? |
58987 | Is there anything wrong about your message? |
58987 | Leave you? 58987 Myron,"he said, his tones so determined as to be almost harsh,"have you not realized yet how false his promises were? |
58987 | Myron,he said,"who is he?" |
58987 | Myron,he said,"will you be my friend?" |
58987 | Myron,said Homer hastily,"any time you want a friend for anything, come to me, will you?" |
58987 | Myron,said Homer, paling,"do n''t you understand? |
58987 | Now, who does that young one look like? |
58987 | O Jesus, if thou wilt not save my soul, Who may be saved? 58987 O Wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?" |
58987 | O soft knees clinging, O tender treadings of soft feet, Cheeks warm with little kissings-- O child, child, what have we made each other? |
58987 | Oh, Homer-- Homer,she cried,"are you killed?" |
58987 | Oh, could I see you sometimes? 58987 Oh, do go----""Let me carry that pailful for you?" |
58987 | Oh, do you mean it? |
58987 | Oh, must I proclaim my shame aloud? |
58987 | Oh, she does, does she? |
58987 | Oh, well, very well,replied Mr. Muir solemnly, still rubbing his hands together; then he nodded towards the rear of the shop:"Will you go in?" |
58987 | Oh, what shall I do? |
58987 | Oh, you''re there, be ye? |
58987 | Piteous my rhyme is What while I muse of love and pain, Of love misspent, of love in vain, Of love that is not loved again; And is this all, then? 58987 Say, Mrs. Deans,"said the ragman,"whose young one is that?" |
58987 | See that big worm there, Myron,she said one day, pointing to a huge, wriggling worm that two ducks were disputing possession of;"see that worm? |
58987 | Still, after all,Mrs. Deans hesitated with a fine show of prayerful reflection,"maybe I had n''t ought to ask you to call there? |
58987 | Suppose you heard Dan Follett was gone? |
58987 | That was a pretty good one, was n''t it, Jane? |
58987 | The old folks is droppin''fast; but what''s an ordinary sickness to what I''ve bore with? |
58987 | Then you''ll go up to Mrs. Holder''s? 58987 Think I''ll just slip up by White''s and see the lot first; nigh- hand to Warner''s, ai n''t it?" |
58987 | Well, Mr. Disney-- got the apples sorted? |
58987 | Well, Myron,he said,"do you remember asking what you could do to repay me for what I had done?" |
58987 | Well,said Homer,"what''s the matter?" |
58987 | Well,said Mrs. Deans,"why did n''t you say so at first? |
58987 | Well? |
58987 | What about the kid? 58987 What colors are you going to dye, Jane?" |
58987 | What did you call the young one? |
58987 | What for? 58987 What is it, Myron?" |
58987 | What is it, Myron? |
58987 | What is its name, Jane? |
58987 | What is your name? |
58987 | What''s a promise given to_ him_ worth? 58987 What''s your grandmother thinking of?" |
58987 | What? |
58987 | What? |
58987 | Where do you want him taken? |
58987 | Where have you been, Ann? |
58987 | Where''s the little red tin mug? |
58987 | Which is my pile? |
58987 | Who is he, Myron? |
58987 | Who is that? |
58987 | Who was driving her? |
58987 | Who''s My? |
58987 | Who''s Myron Holder goin''with? |
58987 | Who? 58987 Why ca n''t you?" |
58987 | Why here? |
58987 | Why not by father? |
58987 | Why, no; you do n''t tell me he''s sick? |
58987 | Will you be likely to see her? |
58987 | Will you come in and have a drop? |
58987 | Will you come over? |
58987 | Will you marry me, Myron? |
58987 | Wonder if he forgot me before he went? |
58987 | Would you be good enough to tell me my duties? |
58987 | Yes,agreed Ann, venomously,"and who be she to lord it over the likes of us? |
58987 | Yes,replied Mrs. Wilson;"but it''s turrible discouragin''when they''re cut down in the midst and no one can say,''What doest Thou?''" |
58987 | Yes,said Homer;"do you want me?" |
58987 | You are not angry with me, Myron? |
58987 | You know how I think of you? |
58987 | You know you are my only friend-- my dear friend-- my brother? 58987 You understand, Homer?" |
58987 | You was? 58987 You was?" |
58987 | You will write his name above his grave? |
58987 | You''ll be gentle with her, Brother Fletcher? 58987 Again he heard her say--Will you be good enough to tell me my duties?" |
58987 | Ai n''t she always a jangling? |
58987 | Ai n''t she now, Myron? |
58987 | Ai n''t you going to scrub to- day, or are you come visiting? |
58987 | Alone? |
58987 | And if ye did, what d''ye think of yourself? |
58987 | And is the offering less sacred because ascending from an altar differing in shape from the law''s design? |
58987 | And to- day the verdict upon the fallen comes from women also; and is there any record of pardons? |
58987 | And what man but would dare all to know? |
58987 | And what more holy than a mother? |
58987 | Are they white as snow? |
58987 | Are you going to call at old Mrs. Holder''s? |
58987 | Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?" |
58987 | As Cain went forth with his curse, did his eyes fall before any living face? |
58987 | At present it was all for her child-- later? |
58987 | Be true to him? |
58987 | But may not that virtue we hold"too high and good for human nature''s daily food"--may not even that be bought too dear? |
58987 | But say, is n''t he owing for that last cord of wood? |
58987 | But there, what''s the use of talking? |
58987 | But what are they when the dew is gone and they are laden with the dust and soot and grime of the long hot day? |
58987 | But what will you? |
58987 | But who can tell what penitence or prayer purged his soul when, between the hoof- beats, he looked death in the eyes? |
58987 | But-- oh, Homer, do n''t you see how it is? |
58987 | By what fearful sacrilege had this woman purchased her fate? |
58987 | By what holy purification, by what fastings, by what soul- searchings may we prepare to enter Nature''s holy of holies? |
58987 | By what language express the torture of a pure soul, stifled in a chrysalis of shame? |
58987 | By what strange chance had this woman come to Jamestown? |
58987 | By what written sign may we symbolize the agony of a heart, bruised and pierced and crushed day after day? |
58987 | Can good emanate from this? |
58987 | Can you not understand, then, that the rest of his twaddle was no better? |
58987 | Clem paused in disgust, then went on again:"Why did n''t you lick him, too? |
58987 | Could it be possible those women had left Myron alone? |
58987 | Deans?" |
58987 | Did I ever tell you about the man I knew who killed so many snakes?" |
58987 | Did n''t you know? |
58987 | Do n''t it need any allowance?" |
58987 | Do n''t you see I would then be vile?" |
58987 | Do n''t you suppose I am looking out for my own happiness?" |
58987 | Do n''t you? |
58987 | Do you know what I called him? |
58987 | Do you not fall, pierced by the stakes at the bottom? |
58987 | Do you not see that his promises are all lies? |
58987 | Do you not see the pit he prepared for you? |
58987 | Do you not understand it is the mutual faith makes marriage, and not mere maundering words? |
58987 | Do you suppose she''d dare?" |
58987 | Do you think I would be bad to you? |
58987 | Do you think I would be unkind to the boy? |
58987 | Do you think that going away from Jamestown will make up for not seeing you? |
58987 | Does it not often seem as if sorrow imbued life with its own bitter tenacity? |
58987 | Doubtless, from a strictly legal point of view, there might have been difficulties in the way, but who was going to tell Myron that? |
58987 | Get up, will you?" |
58987 | Give up all? |
58987 | Gossamers still? |
58987 | Got your rags all sewed?" |
58987 | Had not he-- Homer-- let slip some of his self- respect before the loss of his love? |
58987 | Has Myron Holder named her young one?" |
58987 | Have not I? |
58987 | He asked her to decide, expressing his own love for her and saying tenderly:"And you, Myron, you love me?" |
58987 | He looked down at her and spoke with great gentleness:"Did you take the message I gave you to- night?" |
58987 | He recalled the child''s existence, and, moved by an odd impulse, said gently:"How is your child, Myron?" |
58987 | His mother had said to him one day:"You''ll never marry her, Homer?" |
58987 | Holder?" |
58987 | How could he take from her the Faith that had made this possible? |
58987 | How deprive her of the inspiration that kept her worthy? |
58987 | How utterly false and untrue all this fine talk about the''stars as witnesses''and''heaven being near''was? |
58987 | How was it they came to the surface? |
58987 | How wrong his persuasions? |
58987 | How''s the world treating you these days?" |
58987 | Hush? |
58987 | I suppose you have n''t heard about old Mr. Carroll, have you?" |
58987 | I suppose you''d like me to slave myself to death, and git along without''em? |
58987 | I tell ye----""Did you want me, mother?" |
58987 | I would n''t wonder, nothing more likely; were you alone? |
58987 | I-- oh, do n''t leave me, will you?" |
58987 | If he should return and Myron be gone? |
58987 | If left to burn? |
58987 | If we must needs pick and choose delusions, why not take those unselfish ones, so beautiful, if inutile? |
58987 | In what strange quality were these commingling breaths lacking that they should rise in vain? |
58987 | In what was she different from these other women whose fault had been no less than hers? |
58987 | Is it her? |
58987 | Is it man who lines it with thorns? |
58987 | Is it not an idea really worthy of a Divinity to think that by our self- flagellations our loved ones may be freed from stripes? |
58987 | Is it your grandmother?" |
58987 | Is there none among you who feels, in memory only, the loving touch of baby fingers? |
58987 | Is there none among you who has an empty heart? |
58987 | Is there none among you who, in dreams only, hears a baby voice cry''Mother-- Mother''? |
58987 | Is your mother waitin''for me?" |
58987 | It was common in polite society in Jamestown to ask"How old is your clove apple?" |
58987 | It''s rather late in the day for such delikit feelings-- you what? |
58987 | Jamestown''s religion? |
58987 | Just where in his ante- natal history the love of color flamed into a love of blood, who shall say? |
58987 | Keep still? |
58987 | Launched upon the water, does it not stop and tremble where the drowned one lies? |
58987 | Lemon, before we get into town?" |
58987 | Muir?" |
58987 | Muir?" |
58987 | Obey him? |
58987 | Oh, can you think what it is to see the only creature-- the only living thing in all the world-- that loves you-- die?" |
58987 | Old Mrs. White? |
58987 | Or Mrs. Warner''s sister up in Ovid? |
58987 | Or would the cruel allegory be completed? |
58987 | Passed along the surface of the earth, does it not divine where, far beneath, the hidden springs gush forth? |
58987 | She rested her thoughts here to ask herself a question: If her father had lived, would she have lost herself? |
58987 | She was looking toward the village, and saying shrilly to her husband:"What did I tell you? |
58987 | She''ll walk off and leave me standing talking to her, will she? |
58987 | So long as you are true to me, you are in very truth my wife?" |
58987 | So she said abruptly:"Is n''t it a terrible thing about Homer Wilson? |
58987 | So some one says; and, reckoning by this higher notation, how many centuries of weariness had not Myron lived? |
58987 | So, will you let me do what I can to make things better for you? |
58987 | Stopped in the graveyard? |
58987 | Suffer? |
58987 | Suppose he should return and inquire for Myron Holder in the village? |
58987 | Tell me, then, Homer, do you think it would be ever so little easier if we went away from here?" |
58987 | The good of his kind? |
58987 | Then he added, hastily,"Wo n''t you let me give you enough to put you through the winter? |
58987 | Then suddenly she caught his sleeve:"Do n''t leave me till daylight, will you? |
58987 | Then, in a more insulting tone of voice, she asked:"What time did ye start this morning? |
58987 | Then, stepping aside suddenly, and thus clearing the passage she had hitherto barred, she went on:"What are you standing looking at? |
58987 | They said,"Who would have thought it?" |
58987 | Those notches on the side of the heavy white flint one, were they the scars of a conflict between the arrow and armor? |
58987 | Time and time again, I''ve said to myself, says I,''Let her go-- what''s the good of her? |
58987 | Time is but a span, The dalliance space of dying man; And is this all immortals can? |
58987 | To the Jamestown women we have known through their treatment of Myron Holder we say farewell gladly, only asking them--"HAVE YE DONE WELL? |
58987 | Told us not to talk? |
58987 | Trust him? |
58987 | Was ever such a fearful doom pictured as that of the Eternal Wanderer"mocked with the curse of immortality"? |
58987 | Was he really the man who had chattered on so a few minutes since? |
58987 | Was it not all a myth and a delusion? |
58987 | Was it? |
58987 | Was the misguided man actually going to begin service without asking one word about the ordinary routine of services in Jamestown Methodist Church? |
58987 | What are you lookin''for?" |
58987 | What do you have her for?" |
58987 | What do you mean?" |
58987 | What does a wife do for her husband? |
58987 | What for?" |
58987 | What help? |
58987 | What in the world will we do now? |
58987 | What is this world''s delight? |
58987 | What jot or tittle of woman''s horrible heritage had not been hers? |
58987 | What music will undo That silence to your sense?" |
58987 | What must it be to this woman, knowing she had bought contempt at the price of her own folly? |
58987 | What of it?" |
58987 | What return can I make for this sacrifice?" |
58987 | What spell upon thy bosom should Love cast, His message thence to wring?" |
58987 | What strange grinding went on below the grain and the grass, to produce that flinty grist each springtime? |
58987 | What was it to endure beside open shame? |
58987 | What was the grief before which he had abased himself? |
58987 | What was the result? |
58987 | What were they there for? |
58987 | What''s the good of keeping a dog and doing your own barking?'' |
58987 | What''s the odds what it''s called? |
58987 | What''s the use of talking? |
58987 | What''s up?" |
58987 | What? |
58987 | When it was customary for five or six to go and stay over night in the house where death was? |
58987 | When was he took?" |
58987 | When''ll you be back? |
58987 | Where did she have hers wove?" |
58987 | Where is it? |
58987 | Where, amid all these words, was the promise of the pitying Christ? |
58987 | Which of them had this woman not endured? |
58987 | Who did you see?" |
58987 | Who is it may be saved? |
58987 | Who may be made a saint if I fail here?" |
58987 | Who was he?" |
58987 | Who''s the man?" |
58987 | Who, then, could tell if the pressure of those lips brought pain or pleasure? |
58987 | Why blacksmith- shops were never new? |
58987 | Why buttered bread falls butter- side down? |
58987 | Why do n''t you speak out and say what you think? |
58987 | Why do you distrust me? |
58987 | Why had n''t Myron told? |
58987 | Why had n''t he married her? |
58987 | Why had this lot been meted out to her? |
58987 | Why not upon the air, that gives it life? |
58987 | Why was continual bitterness her portion whilst they dwelt at ease? |
58987 | Why will you continue to bind yourself with a wisp of straw? |
58987 | Will you let me be your friend, to help you, comfort you, and to see you and talk with you, as friend does with friend?" |
58987 | Would that not afford him a somewhat tenable excuse for continued infidelity? |
58987 | Would they stop there? |
58987 | Would those merciless mockers not cease until, deprived of life and hope, Myron Holder faltered and fell to what they pictured her? |
58987 | Would you deny your child on earth and hope to meet him in Heaven?" |
58987 | Ye''ll follow my son within his own doors, to win him? |
58987 | You killed it with a stick? |
58987 | You know this? |
58987 | Young Ann White rose to get them, and Mrs. Deans said:"Well, Ann, now who''s this quilt for?" |
58987 | ejaculated Henry Deans, in a tone of pleased surprise,"who d''ye think''s dead?" |
58987 | what have I not felt? |
58987 | where is the beginning, where the end, Of living, loving, longing?" |
4389 | ''Is that you, Brian?'' |
4389 | ''What are you going to do with that beast?'' |
4389 | ''What does this mean?'' |
4389 | ( Chorus)--Oh, dear, what shall we do? |
4389 | --“Her son? |
4389 | After this, who can doubt the existence of miracles in the nineteenth century? |
4389 | Ah, what now remains for thy portion but tears? |
4389 | And can you in Canadian woods With me the harvest bind, Nor feel one lingering, sad regret For all you leave behind? |

4389 | Are the people you live with related to you? ” Tom( hardly able to keep his gravity): “ On Eve''s side. |
4389 | Are you her husband? ”( Tom shakes his head.) |
4389 | As we left her cottage, and jogged on, Emilia whispered, laughing, “ I hope you are satisfied with your good dinner? |
4389 | At last the poor girl sobbed out, “ Dear mamma, why conceal the truth? |
4389 | At me, I suppose? |
4389 | At what time will you be ready to start?'' |
4389 | But after all, what was the man to do? |
4389 | But coffee is not good without plenty of trimmings. ” “ What do you mean by trimmings? ” He laughed. |
4389 | But hark!--What means that hollow, rushing sound, That breaks the death- like stillness of the morn? |
4389 | But mind-- cash down. ” “ And when do you mean to return the rum? ” I said, with some asperity. |
4389 | But scenes like these must be of rare occurrence? ” “ They are more common than you imagine. |
4389 | But what has this picture of misery and discomfort to do with borrowing? |
4389 | But where shall we find friends in a strange land? ” “ All in good time, ” said Tom. |
4389 | But where was the money to come from? |
4389 | But where were the teeth to be found that could masticate them? |
4389 | But who are these young ladies? ” he continued, as three girls very demurely entered the room. |
4389 | But who that had once seen our friend Tom could ever forget him? |
4389 | By the way, Moodie, did you notice farmer Flitch? ” “ No; where did he sit? ” “ At the foot of the table. |
4389 | By the way, Moodie, did you notice farmer Flitch? ” “ No; where did he sit? ” “ At the foot of the table. |
4389 | By the way, did you see my dog? ” “ How should I know your dog? ” “ They say he resembles me. |
4389 | By the way, did you see my dog? ” “ How should I know your dog? ” “ They say he resembles me. |

4389 | Can not you give me a war- song? ” “ Yes,--but no good, ” with an ominous shake of the head. |
4389 | Can thae white clouts be a''houses? |
4389 | Can those dear hands, unused to toil, The woodman''s wants supply, Nor shrink beneath the chilly blast When wintry storms are nigh? |

4389 | Could any fatal accident have befallen them? |
4389 | Could they have fallen in with wolves( one of my early bugbears)? |
4389 | Did I ever show you the work I wrote upon South America? ” “ Are you an author, ” said I, incredulously. |
4389 | Did I not see it with my own eyes? |
4389 | Did any other human being possess such eyes, or use them in such an eccentric manner? |
4389 | Did n''t you expect that you''d catch a good wallopping for the like of that? |
4389 | Did she remember me on her death bed?'' |
4389 | Do n''t you feel queerish, too? ” “ Ca n''t say that I do, Jacob. |
4389 | Do you hear? |
4389 | Do you mean to kill me?'' |
4389 | Do you not admit Mollineux to your table with your other helps? ” “ Mercy sake! |
4389 | Do you think you will miss oie? ”( looking very affectionately, and twitching nearer.) |
4389 | Does God provide, for the pleasure of such creatures, these flowers? |
4389 | Had he nae word for me?'' |
4389 | Had they lost their way in the woods? |

4389 | How can I ask Him to forgive me? ” “ You must pray to him. ” “ Pray! |
4389 | How can this be, if mind did not meet mind, and the spirit had not a prophetic consciousness of the vicinity of another spirit, kindred with its own? |
4389 | How can thy creatures their weak voices raise To tell thy deeds in their faint songs of praise? |

4389 | How fares it with you, Mrs. Moodie, and the young ones? |
4389 | How many are there of you? ” turning fiercely to me. |
4389 | How were they lost? ” “ Oh,''tis a thing of very common occurrence here. |
4389 | I can weel imagine the fluttering o''her heart when she spier''d of the woman for ane Willie Robertson, and asked if he was at hame?'' |
4389 | I have felt very uneasy about you for some days past, and am afraid that all is not right at home. ” Whence came this sudden fear? |
4389 | I have tested the truth of this proverb since my settlement in Canada, many, many times, to my cost; and what emigrant has not? |
4389 | I hoped that my guest had sufficiently gratified her curiosity, when she again commenced:-- “ How do you get your money? |
4389 | I said,''Yes; what of that?'' |
4389 | I suppose you take out your dog and gun in anticipation? ” “ True, ” said Tom. |
4389 | I wonder what the widows and orphans you have cheated would say to that? |
4389 | I''m a widow with twelve sons; and''tis---- hard to scratch along. ” “ Do you swear? ” “ Swear! |

4389 | Is God just to his creatures? ” With this sentence on his lips, he started abruptly from his seat, and left the house. |
4389 | Is His benevolence gratified by the admiration of animals whom we have been taught to consider as having neither thought nor reflection? |
4389 | Is he not the same flesh and blood as the rest? ” The colour rose into Mrs. D----''s sallow face, and she answered with much warmth-- “ What! |
