35586Oh, why, when stricken from his hande, Far flew his weapon o''er the strande-- Why did hee rush upon my brande?
35586On 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?"
35586One man asked"Who lives here?"
35586Our good old English fashion What other flow''r can show?
35586Shall not Zayda share thy sorrow, as she loves to share thy smile?
35586Tell me, dearest, tell me truly, why thou breath''st that mournful sigh?
35586Tell me, hath our cousin Hassan passed thee on a fleeter steed?
35586That great essential, then, being admitted, what right have I, or have you, dear reader, to demand more?
35586The man explained that the blaze( query, blazon?)
35586The present troubles in Ireland, are they not the direct fruit of the crushing out of its linen industry?
35586This is right; and if right in Polynesia, why not in Great Britain?

35586What did they gain-- what have their families and descendants gained-- by the ruinous outlay to which they were subjected?
35586What hath moved thy gentle spirit from its wonted calm the while?
35586What sort of friend to Responsible Government must he be, who employs force to back his argument?

35586Why did hee cross mee on my waye?
35586Why does not Canada prosper equally with the adjacent republic?
35586Will no courageous legislator raise his voice to advocate the dedication of a few hundred thousand acres to unselfish purposes?
35586Would it not be wise to enact laws at once, having that object in view?
35586Would not this whole question be a fitting subject for the appointment of a competent parliamentary commission?
35586Would some of my readers like to know how to raise a log barn?
35586_--Byron._ Wherefore art thou sad, my brother?
35586see ye not that your strifes and your jealousies are making ye as traitors in the camp, in the face of the common enemy?
35586why not in Canada?
35586why that shade upon thy brow, Like yon clouds each other chasing o''er the summer landscape now?
39924And how long did it take them?
39924And how long shall we be on it, after leaving Toronto?
39924And that is how far from here?
39924And what did you see, when you got in behind the Falls?
39924And where are the old_ Tête- du- pont_ barracks?
39924And who wrote''Tà © là © maque?''
39924Are_ you_ tired yet, Hugh?
39924But are we not going to ascend the monument?
39924But have n''t you any Canadian songs to give me?
39924Ca n''t you invent one for it?
39924Could n''t you repeat a verse or two of your own translation?
39924Do you know what it means?
39924Do you recollect,he asked,"a lovely morning we had, just after coming to Sumach Lodge?"
39924How 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?
39924It''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?
39924Oh, did he really say that?
39924Satisfied? 39924 Then, wo n''t you write out the poem it embodies, for the rest of us to read?"
39924Was n''t it too bad,said Flora,"that Kitty sent off Mr. Arbuton like that?"
39924Well, Hugh, are you satisfied_ now_?
39924Well, dreaming as usual?
39924What are you two talking about?
39924What is remarkable about Lundy''s Lane?
39924Where are all the rest of you?
39924Who would ever dream,said Flora,"that this was the same river we saw raging away up there?"
39924Who would have thought a great poet would have made such a mistake in his zoology?
39924Why should he have_ let_ Hugh get before him, then?
39924--"Well, Mrs. Sandford, have you forgotten me?"
39924And do you see those tiny white specks?
39924And so these heights had_ their_ dead hero, too, as well as the''Heights of Abraham''?"
39924Are you saying a last fond good- bye to the Falls?
39924But what is that you have got in your hand?"
39924But when is the eye satisfied with seeing?
39924But where are you going now?"
39924But why will man be so foolhardy?"
39924Do you remember it?"
39924Had Flora no thought of Hugh, then?
39924I have n''t acted very much like a jealous lover, have I, since Mr. Winthrop appeared on the scene?
39924It is at all events a pleasant thought to finish this glorious visit with; and I suppose this is our farewell look?"
39924Loyalist?''"
39924May I?"
39924No!--delighted?
39924Notre Dame des Anges, was it not?
39924Or did it not occur to her that_ his_ happiness might be in some degree involved in this matter?
39924She refrained from disturbing him, for how could she tell that he might not be writing_ poetry_?
39924There''s joy enough in this passive bliss; The wrestling crowd and its cares forsaken Was ever Nirvana more blest than this?
39924Was he as argumentative as ever?"
39924What accident brings you this way?"
39924Whither should they go next?
39924Why do n''t we know more about these affairs at home?
39924Why should we not travel down the river of life together?
39924Winthrop?"
39924a familiar step sounded close to her, and a well- known voice was in her ear, with a low- toned,"Well, May?"
39924asked Kate;"shall we walk on-- it''s a good mile-- or take a carriage?"
39924do n''t you think Niagara deserves its name, which means''Thunder of Waters''?"
39924is it really you?"
39924said Kate;"but what of him?"
39924who expects songs to be sensible nowadays, especially songs of that sort?
20014''I love you like pizan and sweetmeats?'' 20014 ''It''s a fact and no mistake-- wi-- will-- now-- will you have me-- Sew-- ky?''
20014''Jon-- nathan Hig-- gins, what am your politics?'' 20014 ''Sposing he ai n''t e-- lect-- ed?''
20014''Wall, Jon- nathan?'' 20014 ''What''s the matter, Sukey?''
20014Can he sing?
20014My attention is called to the opposite side of the room:''Here, gentlemen, is a likely little orphan yellow girl, six years old-- what is bid? 20014 The trough of the_ say_?"
20014What is a civil engineer?
20014What is it does it, captain?
20014What''s your name?
20014Why, does any accident ever happen?
20014Why, 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?
20014And who were the pioneers?
20014Are they more renowned in the dreadful art of war?
20014At length he musters courage and speaks--"''Sewkey?''
20014But 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?
20014But what is the result of such a union of versatile talent?
20014Could he speak well?
20014Cæsar, the conqueror, Napoleon, his imitator, and Nelson, and Wellington, are they on a par with the rabble of New York?
20014Did you ever see a balloon?
20014Did you ever see a mortar?
20014Did you ever see a shell?
20014Has nature formed all men with the same capacities, and can they be so exactly educated that all shall be equally fit to govern?
20014How did all this happen in a place where drunkenness had been proverbial?
20014How is it that the moon, that enormous blister- plaster, does not raise them?
20014In history, in policy, in poetry, in mathematics, in music, in painting, or in any of the gifts of the Muses?
20014In the first fury of a war with England, who were the promoters?
20014It is a pity, is it not, gentle reader, that such feelings do not now exist?
20014Now what is bid for this valuable family?''
20014Reader, do you know what a sherry cobbler is?
20014The father looks a little amazed, upon which the manikin ejaculates,"Why do n''t you take them?
20014Time is money in America; the meals are hurried over, relaxations necessary to the enjoyment of existence forbidden-- and what for?
20014To what end?
20014What was its age?
20014What will the reader think of Leadenhall Market being condensed and floating?
20014What would Washington have said to such a system?
20014When at ease again, I looked at the imperturbable savage and said,"What made you take the Fall?
20014When money became again plentiful, and the country so loudly demanded the Trent Canal, why was it not finished?
20014Whence, then, do the lakes receive that enormous supply which will restore them to their usual flow?--or are they permanently diminishing?
20014Wherein do the Americans exceed the sons of Britain?
20014Who hoped for a new sympathy demonstration, in order to annex Canada?
20014Who, he asked, had done this?
20014Why does not the Board of Works, which has literally the expenditure of more than a million, take the business in hand, and complete it?
20014are you a Livingstone?"
20014by the powers, is that what they call beef in Canady?"
20014combien?
20014ejaculated the inquisitive traveller,"what happened to her?"
20014is it that does it, captain?"
20014or in the mild virtues of peace?
20014or is she not a regular man- of- war, ready to throw her shells into Kingston, if ever it should be required?
20014pointing to a large rock in the middle of the narrowest part above our heads.--"Did you come down there?"
20014replied the Cockney:"shall we ever get there?"
20014said he,"you wo n''t show your b-- d bunting, your old stripy rag?
20014said the dame, in horror;"what veil?"
20014was not the_ détour_ passable?"
20014what''s the use of having a father?"
20014who cleared the way for this enterprise?
15307''An thae trees?''
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''And what is the price you put on it?''
15307''And where is your father?''
15307''And your husband addresses you as Jedu; what name is that?''
15307''Did you ever taste coffee like that?''
15307''Did you never get lost?''
15307''Did your mother leave you nothing?''
15307''Have I not to go back to prison?''
15307''How are we to get off?''
15307''How came he to know I wanted land?''
15307''How much is he ready to deposit?''
15307''I suppose,''he added,''we have nothing more to do than order his being sent to Greenock for examination and trial?''
15307''Is it not an awful black hole to put Christians into?''
15307''Is this all?''
15307''Lost your bearings, eh?''
15307''Now what is to be done first?''
15307''O, Mirren, have you dropped from the sky?
15307''Should the boatie cowp, who would save him gin I was na at hand?''
15307''Supposing I buy the lot, how am I to get into it?''
15307''Tell me your name?''
15307''That means some work?''
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''What business have you to enter here?''
15307''What would you do there?''
15307''When I am on the hillside alone with the yowes I will be praying God may be with you-- when you are in the bush, will you not be praying for us?''
15307''When will he be at liberty to see me?''
15307''Where did your mother belong?''
15307''Where is she?''
15307''Where is the warrant for Kerr''s arrest?''
15307''Whose bairn are you?''
15307''Why do n''t you all sing?''
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?''
15307An Englishman asked,''When had the King become unable to pay the parson?''
15307Asked him if the conditions on which the lot was granted did not require him to open a road?
15307Can you count?''
15307Could he find out how she was?
15307Did he not come to these woods to hew out from the heart of them a home for those he loved?
15307Did you ever hear of Peter Russel?
15307Did you ever see that book?
15307Did you have breakfast yet?
15307Do they not desire to be beside me and is it not my duty to sustain and comfort them while life lasts?
15307Ever hear a negro hymn?
15307Facing him, I said,''Is not your name Archie?''
15307Guess it was the same in David''s time as in ours-- the women did the heft of the singing?''
15307Had they anything they could recite from memory?
15307Have you any brothers or sisters?''
15307Hugh was dazed when he saw the jailer did not follow''Where are we going, father?''
15307I am cold, I said, and, please, might I warm myself?
15307I could not go further than Who is the Redeemer of God''s elect?
15307I cut him short by asking''How much?''
15307I must walk, of course, but how was I to live on the road?
15307If I go, what will be allowed me for the improvements I have made?
15307Is money- help all they can claim from me?
15307Is not that your mind, Ailie?''
15307Is sending them so many dollars a month all the command to honor father and mother means?
15307Is that the way to build up Canada as British?
15307It was awakening new life in the forest, and why not in him?
15307Jumping on board, he asked''What is keeping you here?''
15307Mr Kerr who was, like all of us, excited by the accident, asked,''You mean me?''
15307Nothing wrong with them that sent you here?''
15307One question troubled him, and that was, How the Buffalo scoundrel had come to know where Tilly was hid?
15307Pausing, she cried,''Tompkins, what does that common- looking man want here?
15307Pressing 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?''
15307Say what you want?''
15307Shall I place other cares between them and me, leaving them second instead of first?
15307She was stooping in the garden cutting greens for dinner when a voice behind her asked,''Hoo is a''wi''ye, Mirren?''
15307Should he not accept it?
15307Such an arbitrary law as he pleads for would undoubtedly help the manufacturer, but would it help me, who am a farmer?
15307The man, who was quite composed, said to the prisoner,''Mr Kerr, do you authorize me to act as your attorney?''
15307The question I ask, is not will the money stay in Canada, but will the money I have justly earned stay in my pocket?
15307The sailors were still hauling the steamer into her berth, when Mr Brodie shouted''Have you got land?''
15307The stranger dropped his bitter tone, and asked smoothly,''May I ask your lordship a question?
15307Was he going to throw up his purpose to benefit himself?
15307Was it not selfishness that whispered his doing so?
15307Was marriage for comfort and ease such a union as his conscience could approve?
15307What about the prisoner?''
15307What are you doing here, laddie?
15307What are you doing with that man?''
15307What caused him to pause in blank astonishment?
15307What right has any government to pass such a law?
15307What was marriage without love?
15307When he opened his eyes, and looking wonderingly round asked,''What is a''the steer aboot?''
15307Where are you from?
15307Whither hast thy spirit wended-- Here a moment then to fly?
15307Why thy joyous life thus ended?
15307Why wert born thus to die?
15307Why, instead, was I not taken-- The fading leaf the bud to spare?
15307With the money I get for my wheat may I not buy what I need where I see fit?
15307Would he venture to go on that amount?
15307Would that be right?
15307exclaimed the officer,''what do you need?''
15307she asked,''ai nt you got religion yet?
15307she exclaimed,''can it be you are the child of my old school companion?
6813A flint?
6813And how far do you think you are from the Cold Springs?
6813And is not this our own creek?
6813And now, Hec, what is to be done? 6813 And shall we have a sail as well as oars?"
6813And 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?
6813Are my white brothers afraid to die?
6813But how are we to get them out of it?
6813But how shall we cook the bird and the eggs? 6813 But how?"
6813But stay, cousin, you are sure my mother gave her consent to my going? 6813 But when shall we come to the Beaver Meadow?"
6813But where is Louis, dear Louis, our nephew, where is he?
6813But where is Mathilde?
6813But, 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?"
6813Can you receive me and those I have with me for the night?
6813Do you remember what a quantity of large fish bones we found in the eagle''s nest on the top of our hill, Louis?
6813Do you remember,said Catharine,"the fine pink mussel- shell that Hec picked up in the little corn- field last year?
6813How came you to see them?
6813How came you to think that such is her intention?
6813How can she, unprotected and alone, dare such perils? 6813 How can you sew it together, cousin?"
6813How many passengers is it to accommodate, my dear?
6813I 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?"
6813If they should prove to be any of your father''s people, or a friendly tribe, would you go away with them?
6813Is it to be like the big sap- trough in the sugar- bush at home?
6813It is worth nothing now,she said, sighing;"and what am I to do when my gown is worn out?
6813Jacob, did ye ken that we lost our eldest bairns some three summers since?
6813Jacob, is this possible? 6813 Louis, what are you cutting out of that bit OF wood?"
6813May the daughter of the Bald Eagle''s enemy speak to her great father?
6813Must this sweet new- blown rose find such a winter Before her spring be past?
6813On fire, Hector? 6813 Stay a moment, Monsieur Hec; what do you call this?"
6813The Indians?
6813Was that when you well- nigh roasted the bear?
6813Well, if that is safe, who cares? 6813 What aileth thee, wee dearie?"
6813What are you about, Louis?
6813What are you taking the axe for, Hector? 6813 What is she doing?"
6813What makes Hec so grave?
6813What shall we do for clothes?
6813Where? 6813 Who should have taught her?
6813Who told your father all these things, Hec?
6813Who 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?"
6813Why so, ma belle?
6813Why, Louis, how is this? 6813 Why, Louis, whither away?"
6813Why, 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?"
6813And did they take him prisoner?"
6813And now arose the question,"Where are we?
6813Are ye not much better than they?''
6813But what can we do?
6813But why is it hushed again?
6813Can it be the Ontario, or is it the Rice Lake?
6813Can it be?--what is it that she sees?
6813Can yonder shores be those of the Americans, or are they the hunting- grounds of the dreaded Indians?"
6813Catharine, in tears, cast her arms round her disinterested friend and remained weeping: how could she accept this great sacrifice?
6813Do you remember when the forest was on fire last spring how long it continued to burn and how fiercely it raged?
6813Do 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?
6813Do your young hearts yearn after the hearth of your childhood?"''
6813Had the Indians also captured her friends?
6813Have we not heard fearful tales of their cruelty?"
6813His hapless victim moved not:--whither could she flee to escape one whose fleet foot could so easily have overtaken her in the race?
6813How many are ye in all?"
6813How should she find words to soften the heart of her murderess?
6813Is it the death- song of the captive girl bound to that fearful stake?
6813Jacob had a hundred questions to ask-- Where were their parents?
6813Now, look at the lighting up of that hill; is it not grand?"
6813Now, where are these to be met with?"
6813Others had succeeded, had formed little colonies, and become the heads of villages in due time; why should not they?
6813Shall I tell you about it?
6813Shall she be thus, And I draw in soft slumbers?"
6813So I have heard my father say; and surely our father knows, for is he not a wise man, Hector?"
6813Was there no hope of release?
6813We have an axe and a tomahawk,--what should hinder us from making one like it?"
6813What had she done?--what dared?
6813What is he doing?"
6813What lake is this?
6813What will not time and the industry of man, assisted by the blessing of a merciful God, effect?
6813Why did she not tell us?
6813Why should not we be able to find subsistence as well as the wild Indians?"
6813Why should we be more stupid than these untaught heathens?
6813Would it not be charming, ma belle?"
6813Wrapped in their warm furs, with caps fastened closely over their ears, what cared they for the cold?
6813You remember the pleasant spot, which we named the Happy Valley, where the bright creek runs dancing along so merrily, below the pine- ridge?"
6813after the fur was all singed?"
6813did they live on the Plains now?
6813do you think she would risk the vengeance of the old chief whose life she attempted to take?"
6813how came you hither, and for what purpose?"
6813how long was it since they had left the Cold Springs?
6813if we were to lose you, what would become of us?"
6813is it a bear, wolf, or catamount that is on your trail?"
6813or was she alone to be the victim of their vengeance?
6813there is a rustling among the leaves; what strange creature works its way to the shore?
6813was not that the ox- bell?
6813were there any more little ones?
6813what had been her crime?
6813what is to become of me?
6813what makes you run as if you were hunted down by a pack of wolves?"
6813what?"
6813where conceal herself from him whose wary eye fixed upon her seemed to deprive her of all vital energy?
6479Ah, dear nurse, where did you get them? 6479 And are there many woods near it?"
6479And did the hunter take her home?
6479And has it a funny face and ears too, nurse?
6479And is the rice good to eat, nurse?
6479And what became of this nice fellow, nurse?
6479And what do the beavers make dams with, nurse?
6479And what is the Indian name for Old Snow- storm?
6479And where is Coburg, nurse? 6479 Are there any beavers in England, nurse?"
6479Are there any other kinds of snakes in Canada, nurse,asked Lady Mary,"besides the garter- snake?"
6479Are there any other wild fruits, nurse, besides raspberries and strawberries, and currants and gooseberries?
6479Are there many kinds of maple- trees, that sugar can be made from, nurse?
6479Are there many sorts of wild fruits fit to eat, nurse, in this country? 6479 Are there no more flowers in bloom now, nurse?"
6479But what is this odd- looking, black thing here? 6479 But you did not eat our parents too?"
6479Can otters swim, nurse?
6479Can squirrels swim like otters and beavers, nurse? 6479 Can the moon make rainbows at night?"
6479Dear 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?"
6479Did you ever hear of any little boy or girl having been carried off by a wolf or bear?
6479Did you ever see a tame fawn?
6479Did you kill them?
6479Did you notice, Lady Mary, how the dormice held their food?
6479Do people see the birds flying away together, nurse?
6479Do the beavers sleep in the winter time, nurse?
6479Do you know any other pretty flowers, nurse?
6479Do you think it was a rattlesnake, nurse?
6479Does God sow the seeds in the new ground?
6479Does it prick one''s finger like a thistle?
6479Does the Canadian robin come into the house in winter, and pick up the crumbs, as the dear little redbreasts do at home?
6479Have you ever seen their nests, nurse?
6479How could the bear have got into the stack of wheat, nurse?
6479How does it make that whirring noise, nurse, just like the humming of a top?
6479How long will the winter last, nurse?
6479I did not think, nurse, that wild strawberries could have been so fine as these; may I taste them?
6479I suppose, nurse, when they awake, they are glad to eat some of the food they hare laid up in their granaries?
6479I think, sometimes, I ought not to keep my dear squirrel in a cage-- shall I let him go?
6479I wonder where you were brought up?
6479I wonder who taught the Indians how to make maple- sugar?
6479If you please, nurse, will you tell me what these dark shining seeds are?
6479Is it a book, my lady?
6479Is the racoon a pretty creature like my squirrel?
6479Is this all you know about fawns, nurse?
6479Mrs. Frazer, are you very busy just now?
6479My book is only a fable then, nurse? 6479 Now, nurse, will you tell me some more about Jacob Snow- storm and the otters?"
6479Nurse how can beavers cut down trees; they have neither axes nor saws?
6479Nurse, can people eat musk- rats?
6479Nurse, did you ever see a tame beaver?
6479Nurse, do not beavers, and otters, and muskrats feel cold while living in the water; and do they not get wet?
6479Nurse, do you know the names of these pretty starry flowers on this little branch, that look so light and pretty?
6479Nurse, how can they see to eat in the dark?
6479Nurse, is there real rice growing in the Rice Lake? 6479 Nurse, please can you tell me anything about fawns?
6479Nurse, please will you tell me something about tortoises and porcupines?
6479Nurse, 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?"
6479Nurse, where did you get these nice strawberries?
6479Nurse, 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?"
6479Nurse,said Lady Mary,"did you ever hear of any one having been eaten by a wolf or bear?"
6479Of what use is the dam, nurse?
6479Please tell me what a stoup is, nurse?
6479Please, 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?"
6479Please, nurse, tell me of what colours real porcupine quills are?
6479Stop, nurse, and tell me why they are called black and white; are the flowers black and white?
6479That must be very useful; but if the sap is sweet, how can it be made into such sour stuff as vinegar?
6479This embroidered knife- sheath is large enough for a hunting- knife,said Lady Mary,"a''_ couteau de chasse_,''--is it not?"
6479What are Pagans, nurse?
6479What are wigwams?
6479What became of them, nurse?
6479What colour are the Canadian robins, nurse?
6479What colour was the snake, my dear?
6479What do you mean by the fall, nurse?
6479What do you want more, my dear children,said their mother,"than you enjoy here?
6479What is migrating, nurse; is it the same as emigrating?
6479What shall we do for supper to- night?
6479What was that for, nurse? 6479 Which is the nearest way to the mill?"
6479Who calls them all to build their winter houses?
6479You 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?"
6479Are there many squirrels in this part of Canada?"
6479Are there not moss, dried grass, and roots beneath, to make a soft bed for you to lie upon?
6479Are they pretty creatures, and can they be tamed; or are they fierce, wild little things?"
6479But why would biting out the eye prevent the grain from growing?"
6479Can you tell me what birds they were?"
6479Can you tell us where we shall find them?"
6479Did you ever know any one who was eaten by a wolf?"
6479Do the black squirrels sleep in the winter as well as the flying squirrels and chitmunks?"
6479Do you see that red squirrel yonder, climbing the hemlock- tree?
6479Do you want me to do anything for you?"
6479I have seen acorns at home in dear England and Scotland, and I have eaten the hickory- nuts here; but what is beech- mast?
6479I should like to have a tame otter to play with, and run after me; but do you think he would eat my squirrel?
6479I 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?"
6479If they come to a lake or river, can they cross it?"
6479If you please, will you tell me something about it, and why it is called by such a curious name?"
6479Is it a dried fish?
6479Is it a large city like Montreal or Quebec?"
6479Is it a little beaver?"
6479Is it''Little Red Riding Hood,''or''Old Mother Hubbard,''or''Jack the Giant Killer?''"
6479It must be a black bass?
6479It would have killed me if it had bitten me, would it not, nurse?"
6479Looking at the honeysuckles,--I dare say it thought them very pretty; or was it smelling them?
6479Nurse, please tell me what are sleigh- robes made of?"
6479Nurse, what is a fawn?"
6479Oh, Miss Campbell, what shall we do?"
6479Papa 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?"
6479Please, will you tell me all that you know about them?"
6479Then Lady Mary brought a print and showed it to her nurse, saying,"Nurse, is the porcupine like this picture?"
6479Was not that good, nurse?"
6479Was not the Major naughty to say so?"
6479Were you ever in the green forest, nurse?
6479Were you ever there?"
6479What do you think it was, nurse?"
6479What do you think the beaver had done?
6479What is it?"
6479What was it doing?
6479Where do otters live?"
6479Why did they not carry it at once to their nests?"
6479Why does he not lie down and sleep on the nice soft bed you have made for him in his little chamber?
6479and do not the boughs drop down a plentiful store of brown ripe acorns?
6479can you tell me?"
6479dear nurse, what can it be?"
6479did you find real hare- bells, such as grow on the bonny Highland hills among the heather?
6479do bears eat raspberries?"
6479said the child, after she had tired herself with looking at the prints;"a long, long time-- a great many weeks?--a great many months?"
8607Ah, dear nurse, where did you get them? 8607 And are there many woods near it?"
8607And did the hunter take her home? 8607 And do they pursue the graceful deer?
8607And has it a funny face and ears too, nurse?
8607And is the rice good to eat, nurse?
8607And what are creeks, nurse?
8607And what became of this nice fellow, nurse?
8607And what do the beavers make dams with, nurse?
8607And where is Coburg, nurse? 8607 Are there any beavers in England, nurse?"
8607Are there any other kinds of snakes in Canada, nurse,asked Lady Mary,"besides the garter- snake?"
8607Are there many kinds of maple- trees, that sugar can be made from, nurse?
8607Are there many sorts of wild fruits fit to eat, nurse, in this country? 8607 Are there no more flowers in bloom now, nurse?"
8607But what is this odd- looking, black thing here? 8607 But you did not eat our parents too?"
8607Can otters swim, nurse?
8607Can squirrels swim like otters and beavers, nurse? 8607 Can the moon make rainbows at night?"
8607Dear nurse, why does my little squirrel tremble and look so unhappy? 8607 Did you ever hear of any little boy or girl having been carried off by a wolf or bear?"
8607Did you kill them?
8607Did you notice, Lady Mary, how the dormice held their food?
8607Do people see the birds flying away together, nurse?
8607Do the beavers sleep in the winter time, nurse?
8607Do the hunters follow them?
8607Do you know any other pretty flowers, nurse?
8607Do you think it was a rattle snake, nurse?
8607Does it prick one''s finger like a thistle?
8607Does the Canadian robin come into the house in winter, and pick up the crumbs, as the dear little redbreasts do at home?
8607Have you ever seen their nests, nurse?
8607How could the bear have got into the stack of wheat, nurse?
8607How does it make that whirring noise, nurse, just like the humming of a top?
8607How long will the winter last, nurse?
8607I did not think, nurse, that wild strawberries could have been so fine as these; may I taste them?
8607I suppose, nurse, when they awake, they are glad to eat some of the food they have laid up in their granaries?
8607I suppose,said Lady Mary,"these lights are the same that the peasants of Northern England and Ireland call the Merry Dancers?"
8607I think, sometimes, I ought not to keep my dear squirrel in a cage-- shall I let him go?
8607I wonder where you were brought up?
8607I wonder who taught the Indians how to make maple- sugar?
8607If you please, nurse, will you tell me what these dark shining seeds are?
8607Is it a book, my lady?
8607Is the racoon a pretty- creature like my squirrel?

8607Nurse, how can beavers cut down trees; they have neither axes nor saws?
8607Nurse, how can they see to eat in the dark?
8607Nurse, if you please, will you tell me what this little animal is designed to represent?
8607Nurse, is there real rice growing in the Rice Lake? 8607 Nurse, please can you tell me anything about fawns?
8607Nurse, please will you tell me something about tortoises and porcupines?
8607Nurse, what is the name of that pretty creature you have in your hand? 8607 Nurse, when you see any of these curious flowers, will you show them to me?"

8607Please, nurse, tell me of what colours real porcupine quills are?
8607Stop, nurse, and tell me why they are called black and white; are the flowers black and white?
8607That is curious,said the child,"Does God sow the seeds in the new ground?"
8607That must be very useful; but if the sap is sweet, how can it be made into such sour stuff as vinegar?
8607This embroidered knife sheath is large enough for a hunting knife,said Lady Mary,"a''_ couteau de chasse_,''--is it not?"
8607What are Pagans, nurse?
8607What are wigwams?

8607*****"Nurse, I am glad Silvy went away with Nimble; are not you?
8607*****"Nurse,"said Lady Mary,"how do you like the story?"
8607And now, have you anything more to say about birds and flowers?
8607Are there as many bears and wolves now in those places?"
8607Are there many squirrels in this part of Canada?"
8607Are there not moss, dried grass, and roots beneath, to make a soft bed for you to lie upon?
8607Are they pretty creatures, and can they be tamed; or are they fierce, wild little things?"

8607Do you see that red squirrel yonder, climbing the hemlock- tree?
8607Do you want me to do anything for you?"
8607Have you heard of any other sufferers; or do people sometimes escape from these monsters?"
8607His name is GOLD-- Mr. Gold, are you here to- night or are you sleeping in your iron chest?
8607How do you think the Indian women carry their infants when they go on a long journey?
8607I am so glad-- are not you?"
8607I daresay it thought them very pretty; or was it smelling them?
8607I have seen acorns at home in dear England and Scotland, and I have eaten the hickory- nuts here; but what is beech- mast?
8607I should like to have a tame otter to play with, and run after me; but do you think he would eat my squirrel?

8607Is it''Little Red Riding Hood,''or''Old Mother Hubbard,''or''Jack the Giant- killer?''"
8607It would have killed me, if it had bitten me, would it not, nurse?"
8607Lady Mary was much interested in the account of the little girl and her pets"Is this all you know about fawns, nurse?"
8607Nurse, please tell me what are sleigh- robes made of?"
8607Nurse, what is a fawn?"
8607Oh, Miss Campbell, what shall we do?"
8607Please, will you tell me all that you know about them?"
8607Then Lady Mary brought a print and showed it to her nurse, saying,--"Nurse, is the porcupine like this picture?"

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

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

58987Why had n''t he married her?
58987Why had this lot been meted out to her?
58987Why not upon the air, that gives it life?
58987Why was continual bitterness her portion whilst they dwelt at ease?
58987Why will you continue to bind yourself with a wisp of straw?
58987Will you let me be your friend, to help you, comfort you, and to see you and talk with you, as friend does with friend?"
58987Would that not afford him a somewhat tenable excuse for continued infidelity?
58987Would they stop there?
58987Would those merciless mockers not cease until, deprived of life and hope, Myron Holder faltered and fell to what they pictured her?
58987Would you deny your child on earth and hope to meet him in Heaven?"
58987Ye''ll follow my son within his own doors, to win him?
58987You killed it with a stick?
58987You know this?
58987Young Ann White rose to get them, and Mrs. Deans said:"Well, Ann, now who''s this quilt for?"

4389As we left her cottage, and jogged on, Emilia whispered, laughing, “ I hope you are satisfied with your good dinner?

4389At what time will you be ready to start?''
4389But after all, what was the man to do?
