5433Did n''t I tell you, Millie, you could n''t escape him? 5433 Did not Mr. Bissel, the floor- walker, join you in----Street, before you had gone very far?"
5433Did you not enter a covered alley- way, that led to tenements in the rear?
5433Did you not go on with him very quietly and submissively, after a moment or two?
5433Did you not look back twice, to see if you were followed?
5433Did you see that young man to whom I refused to speak?
5433Did you take it out?
5433Did-- did he seem well when you left him?
5433Do n''t you know that lying, when lying is of no use, is one of the characteristic traits of an opium- eater? 5433 Do n''t you see they are smiling at you?
5433Do n''t you think him true and good at heart?
5433Do n''t you think it would be best for us to understand each other, now that we are to be friends?
5433Do not all the girls go to the cloak- room occasionally?
5433Do you think I''ll feel for you any the less because you are so good and brave about it?
5433Do you think he is dying?
5433Do you think he will die?
5433Do you wish to discharge us, then?
5433Does his father or mother know of his plans?
5433Dr. Benton,said the young man,"will you please accompany Miss Jocelyn?
5433Expecting company?
5433Father,said Mrs. Atwood,"who''ll go down to the river for the trunks?"
5433Father,said Roger, a little defiantly and sarcastically,"does n''t it strike you that I''m rather tall for a boy?
5433From whom have you learned this?
5433Give up?
5433Had not this young woman better retire?
5433Has Miss Mildred Jocelyn ever wronged you?
5433Has he told on me, your Honor?
5433Has it not occurred to you that your course is just tinged with assurance?
5433Have I said or done anything unbecoming a lady?
5433Have you become mistress of the farmhouse? 5433 Have you ever been arrested before?"
5433Have you witnesses?
5433How came he to know Latin?
5433How can I be truly happy when you are not?
5433How can I say anything then about myself?
5433How can I tell him there is no hope?
5433How can you honor those who are so disgraced? 5433 How could you get them so perfect?"
5433How did you come to get better?
5433How did you find that out?
5433How is your mother?
5433How much has been charged?
5433How much morphia did you inject into your arm since you left us?
5433I thought I said that, if I employed you, you were not to come to my office again unless I sent for you?
5433I understand why they all looked so black at me now; but why could n''t some one have told me? 5433 I wonder what he goes there for?"
5433I''m sure I meant him only kindness,she said;"why will he be so absurd?"
5433I?
5433I?
5433If I am pleased?
5433Is it dishonorable,answered her son irritably,"to love a pure, good girl?"
5433Is it for his sake or your own that you are so careful? 5433 Is n''t there some place near where I can go?"
5433Is n''t this plan a little sudden?
5433Is-- is not Mr. Jocelyn well?
5433Look here, Millie; if you were in my place, would you desert a brave, true girl in misfortune? 5433 Madam,"began Dr. Benton very gravely,"have you never seen your husband using a little instrument like this?"
5433Mamma dear,said Belle, who was kneeling and caressing her,"can I not ask Roger in to see you?
5433Mamma,pleaded the girl,"how can you even think of leaving me?"
5433Martin, what is it?
5433Merciful Heaven,she sighed,"shall we ever come to this?"
5433Millie, do you believe in a heaven?
5433Millie, oh, Millie, are you real, or is it a dream?
5433Millie, oh, Millie, what IS the matter?
5433Millie, then, as Belle said?
5433Millie,at last he faltered,"is there any God at all?
5433Millie,cried Belle roguishly,"what did Roger say to you to call out such sweet smiles and tender sighs?"
5433Millie,said Arnold, one starlight night,"do you care very much for the world''s opinions?"
5433Millie,whispered Belle, as the former joined her at church,"what could you have said to Roger to make him effervesce so remarkably?
5433Miss Jocelyn--"Do n''t you see you have another beau?
5433Mother,said Mildred, when they were alone,"was it mere diffidence, or why was it, that he could not look me in the eyes?
5433Mr. Atwood, what has put all this into your head? 5433 Mrs. Atwood,"she said,"why can we not all take our breakfast together in the sitting- room this morning?
5433Must I go?
5433Oh, Belle, is there any good God?
5433Oh, Roger, Roger, what shall I say to you?
5433Oh, Roger-- why-- is-- is papa losing his mind?
5433Oh, my husband, has it really come to this?
5433Oh, oh,she moaned,"is this the sole reward of my fidelity?"
5433Oh, what shall I say to you?
5433Oh, you are a little curious, are you? 5433 Oh,"she thought,"why does n''t he-- why ca n''t he get over it?"
5433Oh,thought Mildred,"how can I give up his friendship when he acts in this way?
5433Papa,exclaimed Mildred,"would it not be infinitely more bitter to us all to eat the bread of charity?
5433Pray, then, What am I like?
5433Roger Atwood, do you read people''s thoughts?
5433Roger, Roger, can you realize what you are saying?
5433Roger, Roger,cried Mildred,"where are you going?
5433Roger, tell me honestly,she said,"are you well?"
5433Roger,called Mrs. Atwood from the kitchen door,"where''s Jotham?"
5433Shall I?
5433So you are going to interfere in behalf of the small boy''s interests? 5433 So you were heartless enough to take my place away from me?"
5433That is, in the presence of men? 5433 The money you had this morning is gone, then?"
5433Then why had you the power to kindle it? 5433 Vy did n''t you send yer mother to a''ospital?"
5433Was he greatly agitated?
5433Was that all?
5433Well, sir, what have you to say to this testimony?
5433Well, then, ca n''t I join your class?
5433Well, what did you do there?
5433Well, what else?
5433Well, what is it?
5433Well, what is the difference?
5433Well,he ejaculated,"what''s a- coming over this here family, anyway?
5433What am I but a flickering rush- light which your hand is shielding that it may burn out quietly?
5433What are you going to do with me?
5433What can you do when your father can do so little?
5433What did you mean by turning off without a word a poor girl-- one who for years had done her best for you? 5433 What did you mean by''the promise of an Atwood''?"
5433What do you mean by the term friendly?
5433What do you mean, Belle?
5433What do you mean, Millie?
5433What do you mean, papa?
5433What do you mean? 5433 What do you mean?"
5433What do you mean?
5433What do you talk about then?
5433What do you want? 5433 What does he want with so many books?"
5433What does this outrage mean?
5433What evidences of guilt did you detect?
5433What have I ever done to make him turn white or red, or to''burst out despairingly,''and all that kind of sentimental nonsense? 5433 What have you done?"
5433What is it like?
5433What is it, Belle?
5433What is it, papa?
5433What is it?
5433What is one blow more to a man who is in torture? 5433 What is this, away down between the lining and the cloth?"
5433What kept you so?
5433What made you have the seat so narrow, Roger?
5433What makes her so''down in the mouth''?
5433What were the suspicious circumstances?
5433What would you have me to do? 5433 What yer glowrin''so ghostlike for?
5433What''s the matter, Millie?
5433What, then, is your ideal of life?
5433Where are the children?
5433Where have you been to- night?
5433Where is He now?
5433Where is Millie?
5433Where is it?
5433Where is that to end?
5433Where were you last night and this morning?
5433Where''s Belle?
5433Where-- where is papa?
5433Where?
5433Who gave you all this? 5433 Who told you?"
5433Who''s afeard? 5433 Who''s''we all''?
5433Who?
5433Why did he, of all others, have to be present with his prying eyes at the odious scene? 5433 Why do you, Roger?"
5433Why has n''t Roger Atwood as good a right to seek his fortune out in the world as other young men? 5433 Why is the bottom of this side- pocket slit open?"
5433Why should I? 5433 Why should your sister work in a store if you''re not poor?"
5433Why this ado about nothing? 5433 Will any one take some of the flowers?"
5433Will you be as honest with me as I shall be with you?
5433With some right I may also ask why you treat me with such disrespect?
5433Wo n''t you play while I am changing my dress?
5433Would you like to go there?
5433Would you not like Belle and Miss Mildred summoned at once?
5433Yah, I know, I know; put who prought mamma? 5433 Yes, he probably did; but why?
5433You are acquainted with him then?
5433You are perfectly sure that you have never cherished any ill- will toward her?
5433You do n''t deny it, then?
5433You have come to the city to stay?
5433''"Ow is it I''m so brave and cheery?"
5433''Are you ill?''
5433A thousand times Mildred asked herself,"How can I go out and face the world with my name blackened by this great cloud of shame?"
5433After a moment of oppressive silence, she began:"Perhaps I can best present this issue in its true light by again asking, Are you a man of honor?"
5433Again and again she asked herself, How could the charge against her be met?
5433Alas, will he think so if he finds that I can give him only gratitude and respect?
5433Although I am without a home myself, you do not blame me that I am glad it is my mission to aid in driving away shadows and fear from other homes?"
5433Am I to have shelter another night, or do you wash your hands of me here and now?"
5433And now, after his useless falsehoods, what should he do?
5433And yet what has been the case?
5433And yet, and yet-- mamma, it is n''t wrong for me to love-- to think so much of him before he speaks, is it?
5433And yet, how could he go to her?
5433Are the likenesses good?"
5433Arnold?"
5433As he passed he caught her attention, and stepping toward him a little impatiently, she said,"I suppose you belong to the premises?"
5433As his son entered, the old gentleman started up, exclaiming:"Good God, my boy, what is the matter?"
5433At his reference to her father Mildred''s eyes had filled at once, and he continued gently,"We understand each other now, do we not?
5433At last he said, in a hard tone,"Well, after buying all this frippery, how much money have you left?"
5433At last the man lifted his head in his quick, imperious way, asking, as he turned toward her,"What is your business with me, madam?"
5433At this time Mr. Jocelyn might have escaped from his thraldom, but would he?
5433Atwood?"
5433Because he is lackadaisical and is experiencing strange, vague emotions, must I be afflicted in like manner?
5433Belle is in danger; and what will become of Fred and Minnie if they remain long amid such scenes?
5433Belle needs one-- oh, how sorely she needs one-- and what would have been my fate had he not come to my aid?
5433Belle, darling, are not Roger''s friends better than those underhanded fellows who could not look mamma in the eyes?"
5433Besides, what is the fever to me?"
5433Burry it?
5433But she had not taken three steps before a pleasant voice said at her side,"Miss Jocelyn, what have I done that you wo n''t speak to me?
5433But what can I do when I''m just detested?
5433But what would come of it?
5433CHAPTER XLIII WAS BELLE MURDERED?
5433Ca n''t I ask him home to supper?
5433Ca n''t you or Roger tidy up the wagon a bit?
5433Ca n''t you sustain and help us at such a time as this?"
5433Can I not see her even for a moment, and say to her one reassuring word?
5433Can he be well?"
5433Can he have learned anything in his strange vigilance?
5433Can it be that it was for this hour?
5433Can we afford so large a room?
5433Can you not see what I am-- a broken reed?
5433Could he be ill, or was he patiently waiting like herself, secure in her good faith?
5433Could he break his chain?
5433Could he do this?
5433Could he go home now and reveal his degradation?
5433Could the whole domestic life of the family be carried on in those two rooms?
5433Darsn''t you speak to her high mightiness then?"
5433Did you ever see such effrontery?"
5433Did you never hear of a small child, almost of age, choosing his own course in life?"
5433Did you not make a strong gesture of protest against what he said?"
5433Did you not see how I treated that young jackanapes?
5433Did you not suspect where you were?"
5433Die?"
5433Do n''t you know I''ll be much more amiable after supper?
5433Do n''t you think something might be done?"
5433Do you advise a young, strong- handed fellow to play the coward, and desert the women I love and honor in their sore need and danger?
5433Do you deny the testimony?"
5433Do you feel too tired to go?"
5433Do you forget that I am of age?
5433Do you intend to make her your wife?"
5433Do you mean to say that girls, situated as Millie and I are, must remain cooped up in little rooms the year round when our work is over?"
5433Do you think I ask for it now as a child wants candy?
5433Do you think I could leave you to meet this trouble alone?
5433Do you think I could stand before you and God''s altar and promise what is impossible?
5433Do you think I''d take money stained with blood?"
5433Do you think I''m going to be such a little goose as to tie myself down to one?
5433Do you think I''m going to droop, look forlorn and deserted, and heave great sighs in dark corners?
5433Does Millie know how he feels toward her?
5433Does any one yet suspect who you are?"
5433Each queried vainly,"What now will be the future?"
5433Encourage him to leave home, and all sorts of folly?"
5433Fanny, ca n''t you understand my situation?
5433Going the poor creature evidently was, and whither?
5433Had disease made such havoc that this comparative stranger was aghast and could not conceal the truth that he was shocked?
5433Had she revealed her heart too plainly?
5433Had that face then changed so greatly?
5433Has Roger made proposals?
5433Has the world yet discovered a purer or loftier philosophy?
5433Have I ever disgraced you yet?"
5433Have n''t you noticed that his appetite is very poor?
5433Have you any further testimony?"
5433Have you given them away?"
5433Have you made cruel enemies to- day, from whom you desire my protection?"
5433He did not quite understand her, and was indiscreet enough to repeat,"You have done me wrong, Miss Millie?"
5433He is so young, chivalric, and unworldly that he may think it a noble thing to help us fight out our battle; but will he think so in coming years?
5433He paced the room excitedly with clenched hands for a few moments, but at last turned toward her and said quietly,"Will you do what I ask?"
5433He placed her gently in her chair again, and said, with a keen look into her eyes,"How is this, Millie?
5433He then smiled satirically and said,"What follows from so momentous a fact?"
5433He will, oh, he will live; will he not?"
5433His appeal to me is like the cry of the helpless to God, and how can I destroy his one hope, his one chance?
5433How can one have faith and try to be good when such things happen?"
5433How comes it that you have been so fortunate in your selections?"
5433How comes she in such a position?"
5433How could the family live without her?
5433How could you look me in the face all those months?
5433How could you watch my busy fingers, looking meanwhile so innocent and indifferent to my tasks?
5433How is it you are so brave and cheery when, as you say, you are alone with several children to support?"
5433How much shall I give the delicate creature, Mrs. Wheaton?
5433How often did you happen to pass?"
5433How was the absent husband and father fulfilling the hopes that daily turned to him, but found no reward?
5433How''s that?"
5433I could not love a girl simply because she wanted me to, were such a thing possible, and why should I demand of you what I could n''t do myself?
5433I felt as if I were a hundred this morning, but now I feel just about sixteen-- that was my last birthday, was n''t it, mamma?"
5433I never concealed a thought from you; what have you been concealing from us for weeks and months?
5433I said,''What will they do at home without you?''
5433I say, Millie, how sick must a fellow be in order to have a trained nurse?"
5433I suppose you know what kind of a man Mr. Jocelyn is?"
5433If I find I''ve indorsed a forged check, ought I not to stop its payment?
5433If I''d blindly made promises to adventurers who would compass my ruin, ought I to keep them?
5433If a man is stumbling toward an abyss of darkness, is it any great kindness to hold a lamp so that his last steps may be easier?
5433If he can dance, why ca n''t he work?
5433If he would only ask quietly,"Mildred, will you be my wife when the right time comes?
5433In a few moments one of the managers looked in and asked, in an off- hand way,"How is she getting on?"
5433In answer to the mother''s appeals and Roger''s expostulations he remarked impatiently,"Do you think I''m going to disobey orders?
5433In sudden, passionate appeal, he exclaimed,"If I can win Miss Jocelyn, why can not I marry her?
5433Is all this really ours?
5433Is n''t there something retired and quiet which a girl with no more brains and knowledge than I have can do?"
5433Is not a woman a sentient being?
5433Is there any kind or merciful spirit in nature?
5433Is there anything unreasonable in that?
5433Is there no mercy in your faith-- no mercy in your strong, pure womanly heart?"
5433It seems horrible that I should speak in this way of my father, and yet why should I not, when he was a horror to me ever since I can remember?
5433It would seem heartless in me to say simply, Thank you, sir; and yet, what heart have I to give in exchange for his devotion?
5433It''s my nature, and what''s the use of fighting nature?
5433It''s the nature of the male animal, and what''s the use of going against nature?"
5433Jocelyn?"
5433Mamma, ca n''t you understand me?"
5433Mamma, mamma, what shall I do-- what ought I to do?"
5433Mildred seized it and asked:"Who gave it to you?"
5433Millie, Millie, wo n''t you?"
5433Millie, will you-- can you so far forgive me as to take my head upon your bosom and let me say my last words near your heart?"
5433Millie, you wo n''t let this thing crush you?
5433Mr. Wentworth and Roger Atwood not present?"
5433Must I bear the remorse of having murdered my own child?"
5433Must I break faith with one I do love and do violence to my own feelings, just because this farmer wants me to?
5433Must she walk with him through the streets in the open light of day?
5433My mother has KINDLY(?)
5433Now is it natural for a young girl little more than sixteen to live such a life?"
5433Now, mamma, you''ll let him come to see me, wo n''t you?"
5433Of course you are willing, then, to be searched?"
5433Of necessity, however, anything so quiet could not last; but where could the girl find pleasures more highly colored?
5433Oh, mamma, will an old love die and a new one grow because they-- because you wish it, and pray for it?
5433Oh, sir, in the name of mother- love, can you keep me from my child?
5433Oh, where''s papa?"
5433One day Vinton said to Mildred,"How can I be truly forgiven unless I forgive?
5433Or can it be that my reason is leaving me utterly, and the visions of my tortured mind are becoming more real than material things?
5433Or is it that my end is near, and long- delayed mercy gives me this sweet vision before I die?"
5433Roger drove around to the large hotel, which was not much out of their way, and said,"Mr. Jocelyn, will you please take the lines a few moments?
5433Roger''s face grew very white, but he controlled himself, and asked,"Uncle, have I ever treated you with disrespect?"
5433Roger, my friend, my brother,"she said, lifting her eyes appealingly to his, and giving him both of her hands,"do n''t you see?
5433She is--""She is Jocelyn''s wife, is n''t she?"
5433She noted by the light of the lamp in her hand that his pallor was ghostlike, and she asked quickly:"Vere is Miss Jocelyn?"
5433She shook her head, and continued to look as if in search of some one, and then whispered,"Where is papa?"
5433She took the girl in her arms, and said excitedly,"Vat did he say to you?"
5433Should she thwart His mercy?
5433Since God has put within our reach this great alleviation of our sorrow, ought we to refuse it?"
5433So the question is, What kind of work shall I do?
5433Some agent of one of the many costly charities of the city?
5433Some large- hearted woman, bent on rescuing an erring sister?
5433Suppose my income stops, how much ahead have we to live upon?"
5433The thought of his death had been terrible, but was not this worse?
5433The well- to- do have many other resources-- what chances had she?
5433The woman stared a moment and then asked,"You Miss Schoslin?"
5433The woman who searched her was now asked,"Did she shrink from search, in such a manner as to betoken guilt?"
5433Then musingly she added,"How can my friends have gained any information that would prove me innocent?
5433Then to the floor- walker,"Have your relations with this girl been entirely friendly?"
5433Then with a short laugh he continued,"How is it that I am ready to admit such a far- reaching claim from one who repels and dislikes me?
5433There was a single gas- jet burning in the covered passage- way, was there not?"
5433Vat goot dey do us?
5433Vat vould I do hif he should get sick?"
5433Vat you American beoples somedimes say-- dank my schtars?
5433Vat you say?
5433Was I not in hell for a week when I could not get it?
5433Was I wrong to love her?"
5433Was he a kindly, sympathetic man, unhardened by the duties of his office?
5433Was he strong enough to go out to the nearest drug store?
5433Was it an officious or a friendly act?
5433Was the dusky pallor stealing across his features caused by the shadows of evening?
5433What are you going to do?"
5433What are you like?
5433What are your intentions toward her?
5433What better proofs that he was about right could a young fellow ask?
5433What can I do-- I who can scarcely raise my hand?
5433What can a fellow do to make her look at him as if she saw him?
5433What can it be?
5433What can we do that will be real genuine fun?
5433What could have happened?
5433What could he say or do that would not make him appear contemptible in her eyes?
5433What did he mean?
5433What did he say?"
5433What did you mean by making a place for me in that way?
5433What do you mean?
5433What does it all mean?
5433What does it signify that we are poor for the moment?
5433What induces you to think that a simple girl like me can help you?
5433What is this tonic for which you are bartering your health, your honor and ours, your children''s bread and blood?
5433What is your name?"
5433What kind of a girl are you anyway?"
5433What might he not do?
5433What new phase of the tragedy would hereafter be developed?
5433What remains for such as we, who have always been so busy fighting the wolf that we''ve thought little of God or church?"
5433What shall we do?"
5433What shall we do?"
5433What should we do if we had no money at all?"
5433What would become of them?
5433When and where shall I come?"
5433When at last Mrs. Jocelyn revived she murmured piteously:"Oh, Millie, why did n''t you let me die?"
5433Where are Belle and the children?
5433Where can she go for it on the great majority of the evenings of the year?
5433Where have you been, Belle?"
5433Where in the great city could she find it?
5433Which is your favorite spring?"
5433Who can sink into absolute despair without some faint struggle-- some effort to escape?
5433Who gome in der morning?
5433Who listen ven der boor leetle poy gry in der night?
5433Who received her, as she turned her face toward the staring throng that intervened between her and the street?
5433Who would dream that Mildred and her father, of all others, were the actors?
5433Who''s that?"
5433Whom should she find there in her uncurbed imagination but Roger Atwood?
5433Why are not their thunders directed against the inhumanity of compelling women to spend ten or twelve hours of speech upon their feet?
5433Why are not you with us?"
5433Why are you not in your place?"
5433Why ca n''t he see that he''s nothing to us, nor we to him, and let us alone?"
5433Why ca n''t she go with Roger?"
5433Why could n''t you quit work a little earlier to- night?"
5433Why did n''t we move before?
5433Why did you not get your supper before?"
5433Why do I speak to you now as I never dreamed I could speak?
5433Why do I think my best thoughts in your presence?
5433Why do n''t he write oftener?
5433Why do you remain in your little hot room so much of the time?
5433Why not accept the fact, and be as considerate of the rights of women as of horses, dogs, and cats?
5433Why should we?
5433Why should you throw your young, beautiful life into the gutter?
5433Why will you not go to the hotel occasionally?
5433Will he think so if the struggle is long and hard?
5433Will he think so if we impede and retard him?
5433Will you be well enough to walk home, or shall I have a carriage ordered?"
5433Will you do me a favor?"
5433Will you let me walk a block or two with you, and then bring me back again?"
5433Will you please explain to me what privileges may be granted to the prisoner and to her friends?"
5433Will you please inform me, mother, what my regulation costume must be when my services are required?
5433With troubles like ours, why think of such a transient annoyance?
5433With your health, and in the face of the fierce competition in this city, are you able to marry and support a penniless girl?
5433Wo n''t you join our little party?
5433Woolling?"
5433Would you mind telling me a little about who you are, and how you came to get my place?"
5433Would you not be willing to have her sleep in our tree- shadowed graveyard at Forestville?
5433Would you spoil Millie''s chances of making one of the best matches in the city?"
5433Yet, how can I help it?
5433You and your mother were refused employment at this season at all the others, were you not?"
5433You mean what you say, that if employed you will put on no airs and conform to rules?"
5433You wo n''t be afraid of me any more, and will let me help you all to brighter days?"
5433You''ve taken out all there are in Forestville have n''t you?"
5433Your life is before you--""Mamma, how can my life be before me if you die broken- hearted?"
5433are you going to qualify that grudging sentence?"
5433can it be real?
5433cried his father, starting up,"is he dying?"
5433do n''t you remember Roger Atwood, the son of the kind friends with whom we spent the summer?"
5433do you think I am going to stand off and lower at your happiness like a black cloud?
5433has he taken you into his confidence, also?"
5433he exclaimed,"and did he ask you aught that would make you blush?"
5433how could you?"
5433in that beautiful house, with so many that you love looking down upon you?"
5433she almost screamed,"do you think we would ever let that horrid creature bear our name?
5433she said, in trembling alarm,"no marriage?
5433she sighed,"what must I do?
5433what do you mean?"
5433what other charmer then tied you to her apron- strings so tightly?
5433why do you blame yourself for all this?
60751''Are you aware,''I continued still more hotly,''that I was actually required to send a poor innocent man into banishment?'' 60751 ''But, Resident,''I cried, in despair,''do you really know what Mrs. van Gulpendam did propose to me?''
60751''During the ingathering of the nests-- but how shall I get through it all? 60751 ''Have you any preference for that place?''
60751''How can you ask such a question?'' 60751 ''Meanwhile?''
60751''My dear Charles, what was I about? 60751 ''She spoke to you then of your future prospects, as well as on the subject of your present request?''
60751''So, so,''said he,''does the wind sit in that quarter? 60751 ''We saw some horrid sights at Kaligaweh, did we not?
60751''What was my intention?'' 60751 ''Will that take me far out of my way?''
60751''Would not Wonosobo do just as well?'' 60751 ''You do not therefore deprive me of hope?''
60751A Chinese wedding?
60751A girl like me?
60751A hiding place?
60751A lucky day?
60751A mistake,said the Resident;"what do you mean?"
60751A nonna, you say?
60751A pretty sum indeed-- Truly it is a lucky day, for added to what I have got--"What have you got?
60751A sad thing?
60751A secret remedy?
60751A severe case of what?
60751A telegram?
60751About Ardjan?
60751Ah, yes-- Muizenkop did catch it-- I say what has come of that business?
60751All right,said his wife,"let us have breakfast, but that will not, I hope, prevent you from answering my question?"
60751Am I then unlike all other girls that a marriage with me would be less possible?
60751An outrage?
60751An ultimatum,cried van Nerekool,"a declaration of war?
60751And I think the monopoly for the next three years will be granted some time this month?
60751And about beetles and snakes?
60751And all of it out of your opium contract, eh?
60751And are you quite ready now?
60751And can we do nothing? 60751 And did you make that proposal to Charles?--Yes?
60751And did you succeed in finding opium?
60751And does that work well?
60751And from whom has Miss Anna got all this information?
60751And have you grubbed up the floor?
60751And have you turned over the baleh- baleh and the cushions?
60751And her hair, ma?
60751And how did you get to know all this, Miss Meidema?
60751And how long,asked van Gulpendam, somewhat eagerly,"do the effects of such an urtication, as you call it, last?"
60751And how many oppassers do you intend to bring?
60751And in the ashes under the hearth?
60751And is it not then right and proper,continued van Rheijn,"that the Government should guard against possible fraud?
60751And may I beg you to tell me what are those names?
60751And my Anna,asked the young man,"does she also look upon me as a dreamer and an enthusiast?"
60751And my sonata in D dur,replied the young man,"what has become of it?
60751And now, may I reckon upon you, madam, to intercede for Lim Ho?
60751And now, mother,continued Anna, softly,"can you forgive your child for having obeyed the voice of her heart?"
60751And now, your rifle?
60751And tell me,continued the Resident,"will it leave any serious consequences?"
60751And that was the reason, I suppose, why you took Dalima with you?
60751And that woman?
60751And the Chinese eat such trash as that and like it?
60751And the Netherland''s Missionary Society?
60751And the moral of the story is?
60751And the opium was discovered, you say, close to the spot where Ardjan was picked up?
60751And the others?
60751And the tea?
60751And they found the djoekoeng in which he came ashore did they not?
60751And what about me, then?
60751And what became of the two coast districts, which the company Hok Bie had taken?
60751And what cause of complaint may he have?
60751And what course have you taken?
60751And what do the letters on those lanterns signify? 60751 And what happened next?"
60751And what is his letter about, Charles?
60751And what is it about?
60751And what is the chemist''s opinion?
60751And where did they take you to?
60751And where did you make this haul?
60751And where is Grenits?
60751And where is he now?
60751And who may the happy couple be?
60751And why, madam,replied he,"what may have led you to suppose that I would have denied myself the pleasure of presenting myself here to- night?"
60751And will they take rice for payment?
60751And you did not leave master Leo running about by himself in the garden?
60751And you found nothing?
60751And you have only had the contract for three years, I think, babah?
60751And you manage to be so pretty frequently?
60751And you will be the man to hold it, wo n''t you?
60751And you,said Laurentia, turning to another of her newly- arrived guests,"have not these sad tidings given you a great deal to do?
60751And,asked Verstork deliberately,"And-- your affection for this girl is, you say, very strong?"
60751And,persisted Grenits,"can you actually vouch for their efficacy?"
60751And--cried Anna,"to that condition of marriage he replied''never?''
60751And--?
60751And?
60751And?
60751And?
60751And?
60751Angry? 60751 Anna, dearest Anna, what do you think of me?
60751Anna, my dear child, now just tell me what could have induced you to walk about in the garden alone with Mr. van Nerekool last night?
60751Anything else?
60751Anything particular?
60751Are all your men here, Loerah?
60751Are children very expensive?
60751Are the courts so very busy just now?
60751Are they medicine?
60751Are we in a good position here?
60751Are you coming to bed?
60751Are you sure,asked Grashuis,"that we are going in the right direction?
60751At Karang Anjer?
60751Aye, aye,continued Grashuis,"I know that well; but we all of us intend to participate in the good work, do we not?"
60751Aye, aye,returned van Rheijn;"but is all this true?"
60751Aye,cried Verstork,"that is the very thing I have been cudgelling my brains about?"
60751Because, before Anna left me she made me promise her--"What, njaa?
60751Both dead,she kept repeating again and again,"what did they die of?
60751Bracelets, njonja? 60751 But Edward, I hope you do not distrust the Council of India?"
60751But I suppose,continued van Gulpendam--"you, Mr. Thomasz, will be able to tell us what happened?"
60751But I want to know,remarked August van Beneden,"is the use of opium really as injurious to the body as men say it is?
60751But do tell me, Meidema,asked his wife,"what can have happened that has so terribly unnerved you?"
60751But do you know for certain, Miss Anna,said van Nerekool, under cover of the noise,"that it was opium?"
60751But has not the Government other expenses to meet?
60751But have these grumblers really so very much to complain of?
60751But her parents?
60751But how long will he be?
60751But how so?
60751But how then did you manage to find me, Dalima?
60751But is that enough?
60751But ma, did you see her face?
60751But may I beg of you,continued he,"to let me know for what purpose you drew the parallel?
60751But meanwhile,repeated van Gulpendam,"what news has the girl to tell me?"
60751But was that opium brought ashore by Ardjan and Dalima?
60751But we shall have the moon to- night, shall we not?
60751But what can have become of that sonata? 60751 But what can you have against him?"
60751But what did she say to you, ma?
60751But what is the meaning of the quotation?
60751But what the deuce do you mean--''by your very sad thing?''
60751But what then am I to tell Lim Ho?
60751But what then does she intend to do?
60751But what ultimately became of the Bengawan contract after the farmer''s bankruptcy?
60751But what was I to do, Kandjeng toean? 60751 But what,"asked the other,"had we better do now with Ardjan?
60751But where is she now, njaa?
60751But where on earth can she be then?
60751But why not, njaa?
60751But why? 60751 But will you allow me for a few moments to watch your mother''s play and take a lesson from her?"
60751But yet?
60751But you knew that you would not find me at Karang Anjer?
60751But you know at least in which direction she went?
60751But, Anna,persisted her mother, speaking in her most honeyed and winning tones,"but, Anna, my dear girl, why should you talk thus?
60751But, Anna,said he,"why should you not become my wife?"
60751But, Dalima,objected Anna,"what is the time?"
60751But, Mrs. Steenvlak,said van Nerekool, adopting another tone,"supposing that I were prepared to accept the present circumstances as they are?"
60751But, Nana,asked Dalima,"whom do they look at then?"
60751But, Nana,she asked,"can it be necessary for you to work and to live thus?
60751But, Resident, what do you mean-- Do you not then think it a most infamous business?
60751But, can it be true?
60751But, can you be sure it was meant for a gift?
60751But, excuse me,asked van Rheijn,"is it not one of the first duties of every government to make an impost as productive as possible?"
60751But, how many of those chaps have we bowled over I wonder?
60751But, may I ask, why then does not the Kandjeng toean give me back the whole sum?
60751But, mother, do you then really wish me to try and persuade Charles to lend himself to an infamous breach of duty?
60751But, my dear girls, pray remember that a needlewoman would have to be paid, and pray where is the money to come from?
60751But, my dear sir,said van Nerekool,"why should he do such a thing?"
60751But, my dear,objected Laurentia,"do you think that at Batavia they will trouble themselves about the barking of the local papers?"
60751But, my father?
60751But, my friends,objected van Rheijn,"are you not rather one- sided in your view of the matter and rather too hasty in forming an opinion?
60751But, njaa, tell me, do you know where she has gone to?
60751But, van Gulpendam,said his wife,"what are you thinking about?
60751But, what has become of him?
60751But, where are we going to, Nana?
60751But, who has treated him so dreadfully?
60751But,asked Anna, anxiously, and folding her hands as if in prayer,"do you think papa will ever give his consent?"
60751But,asked Anna,"what could have induced him to torture the poor fellow so unmercifully with the kamadoog?"
60751But,asked Grashuis,"who will provide the opium and the pipe?"
60751But,asked Verstork,"what brought you here at all?"
60751But,asked another,"why is Verstork to be removed, and to Atjeh, of all places in the world?"
60751But,asked the anxious mother,"may not all this do you a deal of harm?"
60751But,asked the president,"what reason does the Resident give for this prohibition?"
60751But,continued Anna,"what business had you there?"
60751But,continued he as cheerfully as he could,"but can we not think of some means of warding off the blow?
60751But,cried Gesina,"what can be the matter with her?"
60751But,cried Laurentia,"would you really give our dear, beautiful child to that sanctimonious young prig?"
60751But,cried Lim Ho, half mad with terror,"what have I done?"
60751But,cried Nerekool, in extreme perplexity,"what is it you require me to do?"
60751But,cried van Nerekool passionately,"what does she intend to do-- what kind of plans has she formed?"
60751But,he added, fixing a very strange look upon his inspector,"are you quite sure it is opium?"
60751But,he continued,"what did the secretary mean by alluding to that clause in the opium- law?
60751But,inquired van Rheijn,"ought we to blame the nation for all this?
60751But,insisted van Nerekool in a scarcely audible whisper,"what makes you fear that Ardjan will be suspected?
60751But,interrupted van Beneden somewhat impatiently,"which of us is to submit to the experiment?"
60751But,persisted van Gulpendam,"what do you want the oppassers and the dessa people to do?"
60751But,roared Lim Ho,"what has become of her, then?"
60751But,said Grashuis,"what toeans can she be calling to?"
60751But,said he,"that would hardly put a stop to the proceedings?"
60751But,said she somewhat impatiently,"what then do you want of me?"
60751But,they asked;"what harm have we done?"
60751By Allah-- what is it?
60751By Ardjan? 60751 By Kong, what will be her price if I should need her active help in the case of the girl''s refusal?
60751By all means, Theodoor,said Verstork,"what is it?"
60751By cunning?
60751By the way where can nonna Anna have got to? 60751 By whom?"
60751Can I not in any way move you to pity?
60751Can there be any question of greater moment,asked Henriette, somewhat sharply,"than that of speaking the truth before a judge?"
60751Can you not feel how wretched you are making him, Nana?
60751Can you see anything, Wedono?
60751Can you trust the fellows?
60751Cash down?
60751Certainly I did,replied the woman,"why not?"
60751Certainly,cried van Nerekool, with much warmth,"do you think I would--?"
60751Chicken''s blood?
60751Come, Charles,said Verstork, laying his hand on his friend''s shoulder,"come, Charles, you will come along with us, wo n''t you?"
60751Come, come, you will want some money on the road, eh?
60751Come,said Anna,"what is the matter with you?
60751Could the''djoekoeng''have turned over at sea?
60751Could you find out what business they have in the village?
60751Could you make it out?
60751Dalima''s injuries also?
60751Dalima?
60751Dead?
60751Dear mother,cried Anna,"have you not spoken to papa about it yet?"
60751Did anyone witness the finding of this box under the mat on the baleh- baleh?
60751Did n''t I tell you so?
60751Did n''t they? 60751 Did she get to land?
60751Did the obat have the desired effect?
60751Did you actually see the bandoelan find this box in the girl''s possession?
60751Did you fellows hear that?
60751Did you find that box in the girl''s possession?
60751Did you hear anything else?
60751Did you hear her say anything more, ma?
60751Did you hear my words?
60751Did you hear that? 60751 Did you make the coffee yourself, Miss Anna?"
60751Did you read that report?
60751Did you see him, Dalima?
60751Did you see them, nèh?
60751Did you succeed?
60751Do n''t I wish I may get it? 60751 Do n''t you remember Mokesuep''s business?"
60751Do n''t you see why?
60751Do n''t you think, mammy dear, that would be too great a blessing?
60751Do n''t you think,asked van Rheijn,"we had better get on as fast as we can?
60751Do tell us all about it,cried Henriette,"how is it done?"
60751Do they not again,continued Grenits,"overpass all reasonable limits, by encouraging and fostering the abuse of opium?"
60751Do they not,continued Grenits,"exceed all limits in the pitiful and niggardly way in which they treat their soldiers out here?"
60751Do you believe that?
60751Do you disapprove of my choice, mother dear?
60751Do you fellows now begin to understand?
60751Do you happen to know what the wedding breakfast and this evening''s banquet will cost me?
60751Do you happen to know,asked Grashuis, who was fond of statistics,"what percentage of the inhabitants is given to this abuse of opium?"
60751Do you hear me?
60751Do you intend her to stay long with the Steenvlaks?
60751Do you intend me to swallow that horrid stuff?
60751Do you intend to answer, yes or no?
60751Do you intend to bid for it, babah?
60751Do you intend to tell me then,cried van Gulpendam,"that no smuggling is carried on there?"
60751Do you know how to handle a rifle?
60751Do you know to whom this Kiem Ping Hin belongs?
60751Do you know who it is that has charged your son with ill- treating Ardjan?
60751Do you know, Meidema, what he came here for?
60751Do you know,said Mrs. Meidema,"that his son Lim Ho is about to be married?"
60751Do you make those things, yourself, Nana?
60751Do you not approve of my conduct, Resident?
60751Do you pay ready money? 60751 Do you plead guilty to these charges?"
60751Do you sell those''kains''you make, Nana?
60751Do you think, Drono,asked Lim Ho,"that Singomengolo is still at Santjoemeh?"
60751Do you think,he continued,"that we have pretty well exterminated them?"
60751Do you?
60751Does that pretty little thing look like a smuggler?
60751Eighty thousand?
60751Enough? 60751 Everything shall be in readiness, sir,"replied the secretary;"but will you allow me to make one remark?"
60751Faithful, you call them? 60751 For the bridegroom?"
60751For whom? 60751 Friends?
60751From Murowski?
60751From William Verstork?
60751From our Pole?
60751From our doctor?
60751Good morning, Mrs. van Gulpendam, do you intend to be present at our session?
60751Granted,replied Grashuis,"but, who made the inhabitants of the Indian Archipelago acquainted with that luxury?"
60751H''m,said the other,"why so?
60751Ha, Verstork-- you here?
60751Had n''t we better,said van Gulpendam,"submit that sample to a chemist for analysis?"
60751Had we not better have a drink first?
60751Has Drono gone yet?
60751Has anyone here any''sirihkalk?''
60751Has he told you so? 60751 Has he?
60751Has she gone to Europe? 60751 Has she got away?"
60751Has the Kandjeng toean any further orders for me?
60751Has the njonja no other orders for me?
60751Have they drowned her?
60751Have they heard nothing?
60751Have you any friends at Batavia,asked van Nerekool,"do you know any one there?"
60751Have you any further orders, sir?
60751Have you any other commands for me, Resident?
60751Have you any stuff with you?
60751Have you anything to say in reply?
60751Have you brought it along with you?
60751Have you ceased to love him then? 60751 Have you ever noticed Kjahi Wangsa, Nana?
60751Have you got any news that you are walking about with the Santjoemeh Herald?
60751Have you had any news from her?
60751Have you looked under the hearth?
60751Have you loved him long?
60751Have you noticed the njonja toean Resident?
60751Have you received an invitation yet?
60751Have you secured the surf- boat itself?
60751Have you seen the Resident lately?
60751Have you tried to obtain one?
60751He came ashore in a''djoekoeng,''I think you told me?
60751He is a notorious opium smuggler, is he not? 60751 Hear what?"
60751His help? 60751 His-- what was at fault, did you say, doctor?"
60751How about Ardjan then?
60751How are you? 60751 How can I tell why?"
60751How can you make that out?
60751How can you touch it, my dear madam?
60751How could I have forgotten that? 60751 How could she do so?"
60751How could there be? 60751 How could they have got into the parcel?
60751How did that come to pass?
60751How do you know that?
60751How do you know that?
60751How do you make that out?
60751How do you suppose a boy is to keep out of a tree?
60751How far is it from here?
60751How is he getting on at Atjeh?
60751How is he?
60751How is that, Resident?
60751How many do you hold now? 60751 How much do you say there was in that packet?"
60751How much may that be?
60751How old are you?
60751How should I know what ship?
60751How should I know?
60751How so, Loerah?
60751How so? 60751 How so?
60751How so?
60751How so?
60751How so?
60751How so?
60751How then did the stuff get there?
60751How then, and when did you discover that you were in love with him?
60751How will what end?
60751How, madam, do you mean to say the Resident applies such terms to me?
60751I confess, it is very stupid of me,replied van Nerekool;"but what news is there, Miss van Gulpendam?"
60751I daresay it is with opium very much as it is with drink; whence did we get the products of distillation? 60751 I daresay she also managed to tumble overboard?"
60751I daresay,said Laurentia;"but-- that horrid murderer-- they are sure to find him guilty, are they not?"
60751I have heard so,replied the young man;"but what of that?"
60751I know he wishes to speak to you about the contract-- it runs out I think with the current year?
60751I know that well enough,interrupted Meidema impetuously;"but did you not this morning call at my house?"
60751I overheard part of their conversation--"Oh,said he,"you listened just a little bit?"
60751I say, old girl, you look very serious, are the girls in the way?
60751I say,cried van Rheijn, not too civilly,"where the devil does a merchant like you get all that information from?"
60751I suppose,put in Grenits,"we must except the Preanger districts?"
60751I wonder how that is?
60751I wonder whom she is looking for?
60751I, Kandjeng toean?
60751I? 60751 I?"
60751I?
60751If I remember rightly, Mr. Meidema,observed van Gulpendam,"that boat is said to have held two persons, Ardjan and Dalima?"
60751If he had not done so,continued the secretary,"you would this day have presided-- would you not?"
60751In that case,continued the Resident,"I suppose there might have been room for the opium if carefully stowed away?"
60751In the Moeara Tjatjing,said van Gulpendam, musingly;"what brought him there, I wonder?"
60751In the morning?
60751In what way?
60751Indeed you have,rejoined Verstork,"and torn off her clothing in the process?"
60751Indeed you have? 60751 Indeed, and what may that mean?"
60751Indeed,replied the Pole,"I am much obliged to you for the information; but where may Bagelen be?"
60751Indeed,said Laurentia, with much assumed interest,"I hope there is no case of serious illness among our friends, doctor?"
60751Indeed,said the other,"what, then, is your opinion?"
60751Indeed,said van Nerekool,"what may that be?"
60751Indeed,said van Rheijn tartly,"am I to suppose that, where a woman''s good name is concerned, you would go by appearances?"
60751Indeed,said van Rheijn, sarcastically,"and how then about the Netherland''s Handelmaatshappij?"
60751Indeed-- bear witness to what?
60751Indeed-- now did I not tell you so? 60751 Is Mr. van Nerekool related to those poor people?"
60751Is he well?
60751Is it as much as that? 60751 Is it my fault, dearest mother,"continued Anna,"that I feel a distaste for all such society?
60751Is it not high time,asked van Nerekool anxiously,"to put a stop to this?
60751Is it possible,exclaimed Grashuis,"to conceive a more cynical confession of the fact that opium demoralises the people?"
60751Is it possible?
60751Is not that right, van Nerekool?
60751Is not the murderer,asked Henriette,"the father of baboe Dalima who accused Lim Ho of--?"
60751Is she in Java? 60751 Is such the case with me?"
60751Is that all?
60751Is that all?
60751Is that mentioned in his report?
60751Is that really the kris?
60751Is that the truth?
60751Is that true?
60751Is that true?
60751Is that true?
60751Is that why the Resident wants to see me?
60751Is that your final decision?
60751Is the lady dead?
60751Is there much more of the letter?
60751Is there no possible means of squaring it with the doctor?
60751It is not?
60751It seems to me then,said Zuidhoorn,"that you do not approve of my line of conduct?"
60751It seems to me we are but six-- Who is missing? 60751 Just so,"replied he;"I can quite understand that; but in what way can I possibly serve you unless you will trust me with all that took place?
60751Just so,replied van Rheijn;"but I have made provision for that?"
60751Karang Anjer? 60751 Leave from the njonja and from nonna Anna, you said?"
60751Lim Ho?
60751Lim Ho?
60751Lose an opportunity of a dance with pretty Miss Anna?
60751Lost his heart? 60751 May not the animals,"said the chief,"thus make their escape through the eastern side of the ravine?"
60751May we open one of these doors?
60751May you not be taking too partial and unfair a view of the situation?
60751Mentega sama ikan?
60751Mercy?
60751Might she be a nonna after all?
60751Might we not wait a few minutes longer?
60751Might you not perhaps have dropped some hint to Mr. van Nerekool, or may be to your mother? 60751 Modify my report, Resident?"
60751More important do you mean to tell me, than of giving solemn testimony upon which may depend perhaps the life or death of a human being?
60751Moreover, he is not given to opium smoking, is he?
60751Most undoubtedly it is, madam; but what I wanted to ask is-- Has this case of smuggling been properly brought home to them?
60751Move? 60751 Mr. Langeveld, do you pay cash down?"
60751Mr. van Nerekool,said she;"I am not at all sure that I have a right to--""But my dear Miss Anna, why then did you send for me?
60751Muizenkop? 60751 Murowski the butterfly hunter?"
60751Murowski the snake- charmer?
60751My dear girl, what are you thinking about?
60751My poor friend, my poor friend,he muttered almost inaudibly;"but is this all?"
60751Nearly one o''clock,he muttered to himself, and then aloud he added:"Than Loa, is the horse ready saddled?"
60751Never?
60751News?
60751No doing anything with him, you say? 60751 No other alternative than-- what?"
60751No, I do n''t,replied Mr. Zuidhoorn,"what is the matter?"
60751No, I tell you-- how should I, baboe?
60751No, Nana; but why do you look so strange? 60751 No,"said she;"how should I?"
60751Not at all, my dear sir, for by writing thus, what do you in fact tell me, in so many words? 60751 Not over the sea then?"
60751Not? 60751 Now are you ready to start?"
60751Now did you ever hear such a girl?
60751Now do you recognise me?
60751Now is this breakfast- time I ask you? 60751 Now then,"she continued in her wrath,"tell me, you young monkey, where have you been?
60751Now think it well over-- is that your last word?
60751Now, Nana,she asked as she looked around,"where is our table and the table- linen?
60751Now, Ong Kwat, is not that just about how you managed it?
60751Now, gentlemen,said van Nerekool,"are you all furnished with cigars?
60751Now, is there any one else in my way? 60751 Now, it is our turn, will you kindly offer me your arm?"
60751Now, what is it?
60751Now,asked Grenits,"you will not be offended if I give you a bit of advice in your own interest and in the interest also of the missionary?"
60751Of course not, Matilda,replied Gesina,"of course not; money is not everything-- look at us now, are we not happy?"
60751Of course, most certainly I do; but what took place next?
60751Of course, of course-- the baboe of nonna Anna, eh Charles-- cela va sans dire?
60751Of sounding him?
60751Of the climate?
60751Oh ho,muttered her master to himself, and then turning to the girl again, he said, aloud,"Where did they lay hands on him?"
60751Oh so,said van Gulpendam, with a laugh,"the babah has come on business, has he?"
60751Oh tell me-- where is she?
60751Oh yes,said Beneden--"that is, I suppose, for our experiment, is it not?
60751Oh, I have no doubt you are quite right there,sighed Murowski,"but where on earth is Gombong?
60751Oh, Nana,cried the poor girl, ready again to burst into tears;"how can you ask that?"
60751Oh, come,said van Gulpendam scornfully,"do you think I am not up to all the dodges by which the law may be evaded?"
60751Oh, indeed,laughed van Gulpendam,"that is your tack is it?
60751Oh, yes, I know that; but-- a black chicken? 60751 Oh, yes, most certainly I do; but the question is for whom?"
60751Oh, yes, of course, I had quite forgotten; he is in for ten days, eh?
60751Oh, yes; but who is the happy man, babah?
60751Oh, you believe the girl''s story then?
60751Oh, you sly fox,whispered one with a nudge,"that is why you took me up so sharply just now?
60751Oh, you think so?
60751Oh, you think so?
60751Oh,said Laurentia, carelessly,"is that all?"
60751Oh,said he,"you intend to give us the sonata before the waltz?"
60751Perhaps the Kandjeng toean will now allow me to retire?
60751Perhaps the rice harvest has failed or has not, this season, produced as much as usual?
60751Possibly I might be, but what if the Dutch papers were to take up the cry?
60751Quite so,rejoined the other;"but what does that matter?
60751Repent? 60751 Resident,"said Verstork,"may I beg leave to inquire against what you have been warned?"
60751Secrets, Matilda?
60751Setrosmito, how is it possible?
60751Setrosmito,continued the president,"do you know why you have been brought here before us?"
60751Shall we go to the club, it is close by?
60751Shall we go?
60751Shall we hear it, sir, right down at the bottom?
60751She is ill then?
60751She would not allow--"And it is you then,continued Verstork,"who have so shamefully ill- treated her?"
60751Since this remedy then is not a secret one, will you tell me what it is?
60751So darkly did you say? 60751 So early as this?"
60751So that to- morrow morning there will be nothing to detain you?
60751So that,continued the Resident,"after the cure there will be no visible proofs of the treatment he has received?"
60751So that?
60751So-- that is your report is it? 60751 Soeka maniesan?"
60751Supposing,continued he,"that in spite of her parents, in spite of all that has occurred, I should be prepared to make her my wife?"
60751Sure of Meidema? 60751 Take it?"
60751Tell me, Anna,he continued, passionately,"tell me, do you feel some such love for me?
60751Tell me, babah,asked the Resident''s wife,"what may be the meaning of that scribble on those red rags?"
60751Tell me, can you understand?
60751Thank you, and on that one yonder?
60751Thanks; you will stay to dinner?
60751That I think is plain enough, gentlemen, is it not? 60751 That I would let no one know-- no one, do you understand me, Dalima?"
60751That bit of information does not seem to affect you very much?
60751That is a pretty good number I think-- is it not, Wedono?
60751That is all very well,said August van Beneden,"but where shall we find these quarters?"
60751That is the proper course to take, is it not?
60751That shriek I heard?
60751That was plain speaking enough,--was it not William? 60751 That woman?"
60751That''s a good many, babah!--if ten additional licenses were granted, then I understand you to say that you are prepared to go up to two millions?
60751The Chinese assessors and the head- djaksa have received similar communications-- so that--"So that what?
60751The boat then was large enough to hold those two, eh?
60751The daughter of Ngow Ming Than-- is she not? 60751 The day before yesterday I went to Buitenzorg-- yesterday I went on to Tjipannas--""And--?"
60751The inspector?
60751The lever of what did you say? 60751 The man who is dead?
60751The session?
60751The usher disappeared?
60751The whole sum?
60751The word on that one signifies:''Lantern of Heaven?''
60751Then those two ladies will be able to bear witness to that I suppose?
60751Then why did you not call Anna? 60751 Then why did you not have your breakfast before?"
60751Then you suppose Ardjan is still there?
60751Theodoor? 60751 There is no danger, I hope, doctor?"
60751There was therefore no stu-- stu-- what did you call it?
60751There? 60751 These things,"he continued,"are called in Javanese, I think, Kamadoog-- are they not, doctor?"
60751These were the men, I think, who, a few moments before could discover nothing?
60751They found it at the same time that they discovered Ardjan?
60751They have caught Ardjan, you say,interrupted van Gulpendam,"who have caught him?"
60751They, they, who are they?
60751Thirteen guilders,cried the auctioneer,"who bids more than thirteen?"
60751Three Europeans?
60751To Lim Ho? 60751 To come and take my hand here as usual?"
60751To fit it up?
60751To heave to? 60751 To look for me?
60751To what it has led me, Resident?
60751Touch it? 60751 Treason, do you call it?"
60751Twenty- five what?
60751Two hundred and fifty guilders? 60751 Vanished?"
60751Very well,said Anna, quietly,"then take this note to Mr. van Nerekool, you understand?"
60751Was I not right?
60751Was I right after all in keeping my word to Anna? 60751 Was it perhaps Kiem Ping Hin?"
60751Was not the''djoekoeng''upset when the pair of you tried to run away in her? 60751 We have a good long ride before us to get back to Banjoe Pahit,"remarked Theodoor Grenits,"and to- morrow morning it will be light very early, eh?"
60751Wedono, will you see to it that Mr. Mokesuep is called early to- morrow morning?
60751Well gentlemen,asked Grenits,"am I exaggerating?
60751Well then,continued the simple Javanese girl,"why be so cruel?"
60751Well what does the Council say, Theodoor?
60751Well, Charles,cried Verstork, as he flung the letter upon the table,"what do you think of that?"
60751Well, I do n''t know,replied van Gulpendam,"but might not the notes have got mixed up with the samples of silk purely by accident?
60751Well, Nana, how shall I tell you that? 60751 Well, and what happened then?"
60751Well, and where are they going to send you to?
60751Well, babah,asked the Resident,"in what manner can I assist you?"
60751Well, but what?
60751Well, gentlemen,cried the bluff but kind- hearted soldier as he caught sight of them,"have you had any luck?"
60751Well, that is a curious tale certainly; and now what about Ardjan-- did you leave him behind you at the Moeara Tjatjing?
60751Well, what is it?
60751Well, what of that?
60751Well, yes,continued Charles,"and kissing her; but should you perhaps think that we had purposely selected this spot, then--""Well, what then?"
60751Well,asked van Rheijn,"but must we not look upon that as the expression of a mere private opinion?
60751Well,said Charles,"and suppose that should happen?"
60751Well,said Grenits,"what does history say?"
60751Well,said Laurentia, in no mood to humour her husband,"do you call that so very quick?
60751Well,said Laurentia,"what then?"
60751Well,said Mr. Zuidhoorn,"you know, I suppose, that I have applied for leave of absence on account of my health, and that I am going to Holland?"
60751Well,she said at length, after having for a few moments stared at Dalima;"well, and what happened then?"
60751Well,stammered the coward, whose lips were still white with fear;"it is all right, is it not?"
60751Well-- and did you get it?
60751Well?
60751Well?
60751What I feel?
60751What I intend to do? 60751 What Karang Anjer in Bagelen?
60751What about?
60751What are we going to do there, Nana?
60751What are you frightened at?
60751What are you thinking about, Nana?
60751What brought you there?
60751What business had you at the Moeara? 60751 What business?"
60751What can have become of Edward van Rheijn?
60751What can have brought all this crowd of people together?
60751What can you mean?
60751What circumstances?
60751What colour was it, ma?
60751What company then?
60751What could the company make of them? 60751 What did I tell you?"
60751What did Theodoor say?
60751What did you hear?
60751What did you say?
60751What do you feel? 60751 What do you intend to do?"
60751What do you intend to do?
60751What do you mean by at last,she rejoined,"I suppose that is to be my good- morning?"
60751What do you mean, Nana?
60751What do you mean, Resident?
60751What do you mean-- do you take me for a quack- doctor?
60751What do you mean? 60751 What do you mean?"
60751What do you say?
60751What do you want?
60751What does that matter?
60751What else could the money have been meant for?
60751What had he to do with it?
60751What has become of our babahs?
60751What has he got to do with it? 60751 What have you got to do with her?"
60751What have you got to tell me?
60751What he came here for? 60751 What in the world has happened to you, Dalima?"
60751What in the world is the good of all that hocus- pocus?
60751What in the world is the matter with you, old fellow?
60751What in the world is the matter with you?
60751What induced you to go there?
60751What invitation?
60751What is a pity?
60751What is all this confusion about?
60751What is he saying?
60751What is that for?
60751What is that to me?
60751What is that, Resident?
60751What is the matter now, babah?
60751What is the matter? 60751 What is the matter?
60751What is the matter?
60751What is the use of my trying to guess?
60751What is your difficulty?
60751What is your name?
60751What kind of bitters is that?
60751What makes me think that?
60751What makes you look so serious then?
60751What makes you think that?
60751What may that be, Resident?
60751What mercy did you show poor Dalima and old Setrosmito? 60751 What money are you talking about?"
60751What money?
60751What must I do, Resident?
60751What must you do? 60751 What of that?"
60751What on earth can all this mean, Loerah?
60751What on earth may that be?
60751What ship?
60751What ten thousand guilders?
60751What then could it have been about to offer the money?
60751What then may be the cause of the distress you speak of, Radhen Adipattie?
60751What was it then?
60751What will the Steenvlaks say to this sudden change of plan?
60751What''s all this about?
60751What''s the matter, what''s up?
60751What''s up?
60751What, all night?
60751What, old Setrosmito? 60751 What,"fell in van Gulpendam, somewhat taken aback,"did the dessa folk see them as well as you?"
60751What? 60751 What?
60751What? 60751 What?
60751What? 60751 What?
60751What? 60751 What?
60751What? 60751 What?
60751What?
60751What?
60751When I do nothing more than lay my finger upon the wound?
60751When could I have done such a thing?
60751When is the contract to be renewed?
60751When that opium came ashore,said he,"did anyone happen to be present?"
60751Where are these samples?
60751Where are you going to?
60751Where are you running to, Nana?
60751Where can August van Beneden have got to?
60751Where can she be?
60751Where did they find the horrid stuff?
60751Where do you live?
60751Where have you come from?
60751Where have you sprung from?
60751Where is Dalima?
60751Where is Dalima?
60751Where is Grashuis?
60751Where is Leendert Grashuis?
60751Where is nonna Anna?
60751Where is the opium?
60751Where is the pain?
60751Where was the girl drowned?
60751Where were you born?
60751Where? 60751 Where?"
60751Which sessions?
60751Who I am? 60751 Who are they?"
60751Who are those with him?
60751Who gave that order?
60751Who is I?
60751Who is he?
60751Who is running Amokh?
60751Who is the buyer?
60751Who is there?
60751Who is there?
60751Who is there?
60751Who knows?
60751Who, do you say, found these things?
60751Whose evidence? 60751 Whose ship was that?"
60751Why are you lawyers,rejoined the other,"always fencing with scraps of Latin?
60751Why did you not tell me this at once?
60751Why do you look so strangely at me?
60751Why do you think so?
60751Why not touch it? 60751 Why not, pray?"
60751Why should I do so, Resident? 60751 Why should I have done so?
60751Why should I not be?
60751Why should I? 60751 Why should she?"
60751Why should we not both go together?
60751Why should we put it off?
60751Why so?
60751Why you, rather than anyone of us?
60751Why, Mr. Thomasz, have you taken leave of your senses?
60751Why, do n''t you know? 60751 Why, do n''t you know?"
60751Why, now your father and mother are dead--"What? 60751 Why, what was he doing there?"
60751Why,said Grenits,"I hope, Edward, you do not doubt my word?"
60751Why? 60751 Will you allow me?"
60751Will you bet me a rix- dollar that I do n''t manage to find some?
60751Will you make that promise, Dalima?
60751Will you then give me the right to call you Miss Anna, or, shorter still-- simply Anna-- dear, darling Anna?
60751Wo n''t hear of it?
60751Would it be indiscreet to ask what made our host bend his head so anxiously over his desk?
60751Would not Monday morning have done just as well?
60751Would the Kandjeng toean condescend to accept them at my hands?
60751Would you not like,said van Beneden,"just merely for the sake of experiment, to try opium smoking?
60751Would you,continued Anna,"would you have me deliberately widen the gap which is already growing between us?
60751Would you,he asked as he pointed to Ardjan,"leave this fellow here alone and unwatched?"
60751Wrong?
60751Yes, I am quite ready,answered his friend;"but how about horses?"
60751Yes, I sent him with it, where is it?
60751Yes, and Grenits, where is he? 60751 Yes, and to- day you promised you would let me know why--""Now tell me, Charles,"said Verstork,"is there any need for me to say anything more?
60751Yes, but babah, you know Mr. Meidema, do you not?
60751Yes, but tell me,she insisted,"from whom is it?"
60751Yes, but what do they mean?
60751Yes, he does-- don''t you like them?
60751Yes, njaa; but where is she?
60751Yes, yes,cried van Rheijn, full of curiosity,"we grant you that; but what important communication had he to make to you?"
60751Yes,cried a couple of others,"where has Mokesuep got to?"
60751Yes,said Matilda,"and to complete the comparison, could anyone be happier even in the Residence itself?
60751Yes,said she,"we must get out of this place; but, can you swim?
60751Yes,said van Nerekool;"what if he did?"
60751Yes,thought Dalima,"it is she;"and then she continued aloud:"She asked you no other question, ma?"
60751Yes-- and then?
60751Yes; but,continued he,"what did they talk about?"
60751You are going eh?
60751You are going to leave us?
60751You are not? 60751 You are quite right, Resident, nothing ever escapes your eagle eye; but yet--''il y a des accommodements avec le ciel,''and therefore--""But how?"
60751You are sure, there was nothing in the djoekoeng when you got into her? 60751 You are very late,"said van Nerekool--"have you been very busy?"
60751You are very mysterious, babah,said he,"have you come to bother me again about that confounded opium?"
60751You ask me what you have done? 60751 You ask me,"replied Meidema,"what I accuse you of?
60751You asked her how far Pembanan was from the dessas Sikaja and Pringtoetoel-- did you not?
60751You confess to having killed a bandoelan and wounded an officer?
60751You did not tell him what you were going to do?
60751You give me leave then to call you dear-- dearest Anna?
60751You have been here some time then?
60751You have, I presume,continued the Resident,"well weighed and thoroughly understood what I said?"
60751You here, Dalima,cried she;"where in the world have you been?
60751You know what has happened, mother?
60751You know, mamma, do you not? 60751 You mean to Lim Ho, the bridegroom?
60751You mean to tell me,cried van Gulpendam in amazement,"that the inspector has told you all that?"
60751You now pay twelve hundred thousand guilders for your monopoly, do you not? 60751 You question me and I am obliged to answer-- and further--""Well, what else?
60751You refuse then,continued Verstork coldly,"to furnish me with the explanations I require?"
60751You remember,he laughed,"how Than Khan and Liem King tumbled down from top to bottom?
60751You said two witnesses-- who is the other?
60751You spoke to her then, ma?
60751You think so, do you?
60751You think therefore--?
60751You thought me very ill?
60751You were at Kaligaweh?
60751You? 60751 You?
60751You?
60751Your bride? 60751 ''How can you suspect me of jesting, when I ask you whether you can surmise to what decision I am about to come with regard to your question?'' 60751 --Is that all?"
60751A rare feast for the boajas, eh?"
60751Above all things I wish to keep you here with me; but you must promise that you will not let anyone know where I am hiding-- will you promise that?"
60751After what my secretary told me?
60751Again I ask you, what proofs have we that this box was discovered under the pandan- mat of the couch in Setrosmito''s dwelling?
60751Am I not right, Charles?"
60751Am I not right, van Nerekool?"
60751And again, might not the girl honestly imagine that in bringing the lovers together she was promoting the happiness of both?
60751And did you get any good specimens?"
60751And drawing his daughter to him, he said to her, as he patted her smooth cheek,"I am right, Anna, am I not?
60751And how did he attempt to prove that charge?
60751And how then about the rice which you have just brought home?
60751And pray, may I be allowed to ask my proud and independent daughter what plans she may have formed for the future?
60751And then''high time to get away?''
60751And turning to his servant, he went on:"You carry out my orders to the letter; do you hear?
60751And why?
60751And yet we are all of us morally convinced that a gross outrage was perpetrated, but-- when shall we see justice dealt out fairly in India?"
60751And you Tilda?"
60751And you say that she has smuggled opium?"
60751And you, when you get to be head of a firm, will you give up all trade in spirits, and all the profits it brings in?"
60751And, may I add to that request, the prayer that you will kindly intercede on my behalf, with Mr. van Gulpendam?"
60751And-- pardon me the question-- have you in this particular case acted up to that principle?"
60751Anyone else?"
60751Anything to do with them eh?
60751Are these feelings to be accounted for by the obstacles which my love to Anna has encountered?
60751Are these the principles which animate our rulers?
60751Are you aware that Mrs. van Gulpendam asked me to violate my oath and my duty?''
60751Are you listening to me, Charles?"
60751Are you quite sure that you are not just a little too sanguine?"
60751Are you trying to make a fool of me?
60751As he entered the hut, he did not deign so much as to cast a look at Ardjan; but abruptly asked him:"What made you run away?"
60751As he stood there hesitating, van Gulpendam asked:"Do the landowners pay the labourers reasonably well?"
60751As soon as Liem King had made his report, he asked in a tone of assumed indifference:"Was the fellow alone when you came upon him?"
60751As soon as she was gone Laurentia in feverish haste and with heaving bosom turned to Dalima and said:"Well, what then?"
60751As van Gulpendam made his appearance in the pandoppo he was greeted with the words, somewhat sternly uttered:"What business has that pajoeng here?
60751At Gombong?"
60751At her last words however he sprang up from his chair, he took her hand and said:"A lonely life you say?
60751At length Grenits said:"Well, doctor, is my carcase in pretty good order?"
60751At length he spoke, turning to Than Khan and Liem King, and said:"Well, what have you to say to all that?"
60751At length the Chinaman despairing of success, and very angry at his failure, cried out in a rage:"Where are your children?"
60751At the sound the young girl gave a sudden start, she dropped her book and springing up from her seat,"Siapa ada?"
60751Auctioneer?"
60751Aye indeed; how was it all to end?
60751Band an opponent of opium?
60751But I ask you this one question:--Has the Government any right whatever to reckon upon the fulfilment of that duty?
60751But I need not ask, you look like a fresh- blown Devonshire rose, so charming, so--""Will you take tea or coffee?"
60751But all such reflections were roughly interrupted by Liem King, who asked him,"Where did you come from on so wild a night as this?"
60751But how do you know that, Theodoor?"
60751But is it a fact that I am an unpractical fellow, and one who will never make his way in the world?
60751But now for William; what does he write about?"
60751But now the opium?
60751But now the question was: could they hope to get over the distance between that mountain of water and the next one before it also would break?
60751But the sound had not quite passed away, when Grashuis, as if suddenly moved by some spring, raised himself upon his elbow:"Did you hear that?"
60751But what are we to do?
60751But what can there be in that telegram from the Hague, to put you out so?"
60751But what has that to do with it?"
60751But what may they have cost you altogether?"
60751But what objection can he have to me?"
60751But what of that?"
60751But what''s up now?"
60751But who could it be?
60751But who then are the consumers?
60751But you will ask perhaps:''How about Miss van Gulpendam?''
60751But, Resident, why all these questions?
60751But, are not industry and agriculture the very life- blood of a State?
60751But, just consider, how could you have undertaken that journey?
60751But, let me ask you, upon what grounds has the prosecution founded this most serious charge?
60751But, the question was, would she listen to her story, would she help her?
60751But, what to do with oneself at Gombong?
60751But, what would Babah Lim Yang Bing think of it?
60751But, why do I talk of exulting over his death?
60751But,"continued he,"can any of you tell me where the shots came from?"
60751But-- what can be the drift of all this?
60751But-- what is up with Anna?
60751But-- what to do now?
60751But--""But what?"
60751But--""Yes-- but what?"
60751By force or by cunning?
60751By whom?"
60751By- the- bye, did you receive the parcel I sent you?"
60751Can I do anything for you to help you on your journey back?"
60751Can it be some misanthropist, I thought, who is living there so far away from the haunts of men?
60751Can we not manage to avoid even the least of these misfortunes?"
60751Can you be quite sure that the five thousand guilders were concealed in that parcel of silk samples for the purpose of bribery?"
60751Can you make that out?"
60751Charles, Charles, what am I to believe?"
60751Come, speak up, will you?
60751Could he have expected more lenient treatment at the hands of the white men?
60751Could he venture to go on?
60751Could such a thing ever have happened at home?
60751Could you manage to get me a horse?"
60751Could you possibly suspect me of not doing my utmost to secure your happiness?"
60751Dalima''s father has, I suppose, been got rid of at least for a few weeks?"
60751Dalima, who was beginning to fear that Anna was really displeased, at length broke the silence and said:"You are not angry with me, Nana?"
60751Did Mrs. Steenvlak really not know what had become of Anna?
60751Did he repent of having thus honestly spoken his mind?
60751Did my eyes play me false altogether?
60751Did the young men there assembled pay any heed to this mysterious melody?
60751Did you ever see a Javanese so degrade himself?
60751Did you ever see a native act so meanly, even when pleading for his life?
60751Did you ever see anything more neatly put together?
60751Did you examine her?"
60751Did you not say just now, van Rheijn, that you also had an opium tale to tell?"
60751Did you not?"
60751Did you notice how cleverly all the witnesses who might have spoken in Dalima''s favour were got out of the way?
60751Did you partake of anything in the way of spirits?"
60751Did you pick her up also floating about?
60751Do n''t you remember Amy''s letter, when we had sent her our congratulations on her engagement?
60751Do n''t you remember what we saw in the den at Kaligaweh?"
60751Do n''t you see that the remnant of the herd will get clear away?
60751Do n''t you think so, dearest?"
60751Do n''t you think so?"
60751Do n''t you understand me, nènèh?
60751Do you ask what I intend to do?
60751Do you happen to remember it?"
60751Do you hear me?"
60751Do you hear?"
60751Do you know Miss van Gulpendam?"
60751Do you love me, dearest?
60751Do you love me, dearest?
60751Do you not approve of my plan?"
60751Do you really love Ardjan, and are you anxious to save him?"
60751Do you still ask me what you have done?
60751Do you think a pretty girl like Dalima is destined to be the bride of a Javanese dog like you?
60751Do you think that I would throw fresh difficulties in her way?
60751Do you think van Kempen in the Hague could turn out anything better than that?"
60751Do you understand me, Mr. van Nerekool?
60751Does not the Company trade in gin?
60751Does not your own firm deal in alcohol?
60751Does the wind sit in that quarter?
60751During all these festive rites, did Lim Ho bestow even one passing thought upon his victim, baboe Dalima?
60751Eh?"
60751Eh?"
60751Eh?"
60751Etait- ce donc un ange, une femme, Qui venait d''embraser mon âme?
60751Etait- ce donc un ange, une femme, Qui venait d''embraser mon âme?
60751For, whom can I protect out here in Atjeh?
60751Grenits, however, at once broke in and said:"What?
60751Grenits?"
60751Had Mr. van Gulpendam ever, thought she, thus declared his love to her-- had he ever spoken of her in such terms?
60751Has anything else happened then?"
60751Has he given you any hint to that effect?"
60751Has it not neglected, in the most shameful manner, its duty towards that army?
60751Has it then come to this that we are to be deprived of every means of stemming the national evil?"
60751Have the members refused to sit?
60751Have they drowned her, then?"
60751Have they had an offer?
60751Have you any objection?"
60751Have you any others?"
60751Have you cast him out of your heart?"
60751Have you not often felt the same aversion-- tell me, mother dear?"
60751Have you noticed that cock over the altar yonder?"
60751Have you then no money at all?"
60751He gave her one penetrating look:"You here yet?"
60751He put his hands on his wife''s shoulders and steadily looking her in the face he said cheerily:"I say, mammy dear-- is there any news?"
60751How are the cards serving you this evening?
60751How can my simple words have moved you so?
60751How can that possibly be?"
60751How can you gentlemen like that nasty smoke?"
60751How can you possibly dare to undertake such a journey, Dalima?"
60751How could a man like William Verstork have ever admitted such a fellow into his company?
60751How could they have had the audacity of daring to disregard the express command of the Mighty Lord?
60751How did Dalima happen to be on the fatal spot at that early hour?
60751How do they manage to keep body and soul together?
60751How far is it from here to Karang Anjer, captain?"
60751How is it possible that amid such surroundings Anna has remained spotless and pure?
60751How is it you are not on board of her?"
60751How is it,"she continued,"that you took so coolly what I just now told you about Anna?
60751How long was that peaceful life to last--?
60751How many more do you want?"
60751How much opium have you there?"
60751How shall we find out?"
60751How then did Dalima get to the spot where now we find her, at so great a distance from Kaligaweh, and what was the object of her journey?
60751How will all this end?"
60751How would you like to be out on such a night as this?"
60751How?
60751How?
60751I am quite ready to admit that your quotation is accurate; but was the Council properly informed when it gave that opinion?"
60751I am right, am I not?"
60751I am waiting for you-- what is your answer?"
60751I ask you again: is such conduct in any way excusable, while the girl''s parents are left in ignorance of this passion?"
60751I ask, why were not these papers laid before us?
60751I fancy, Anna,"she continued,"I fancy I have some right to your confidence, have I not?"
60751I know you keep a pretty good galley, do you accept my offer?"
60751I may call you so, may I not?"
60751I often ask myself how can such a child have sprung from such parents?
60751I said, however, as quietly as I could,''Well, doctor, is there any particular spot to which you advise me to go?''
60751I say, Verstork, how in the world did you manage to get hold of such a sneak as that?"
60751I say, mother, do you think that jacket is worth patching up?"
60751I started and--""Does toean van Nerekool know of all this?"
60751I suppose that even on Saturday last you knew that Resident van Gulpendam was not at all well disposed towards me?"
60751I take it then, Anna, that you absolutely and finally refuse to accede to your mother''s suggestion?"
60751I think I am right there?''
60751I think I am right, Charles?"
60751I will tell you further, that in her despair, the poor girl has told me everything-- you understand me, do you not, when I say everything?
60751I, madam?"
60751If I had to choose, I would--""And will not Mrs. Meidema make her choice?"
60751If he does not wish to play what does the booby want to come here for at all, I wonder?"
60751If you please, Miss Anna, may I ask you for a cup of tea?"
60751In that case with what intention did you put that question to me?''
60751In that costume?"
60751In the face of what we have heard and seen can anyone deny or doubt that opium lies as a curse upon our poor Indian possessions?"
60751In these numberless butterflies were fluttering about; but, will you believe me?
60751In what manner, then, are those places filled?
60751Is he with you here?"
60751Is it a mere friendly feeling towards a pretty and accomplished child, or is it perhaps love which is beginning to nestle in my heart?
60751Is not that true?
60751Is she in India?"
60751Is that a bargain?"
60751Is that the question, Resident?
60751Is that the right word do you think?"
60751Is that then the reason why you all look so solemn?
60751Is that true or not, babah?"
60751Is that why you have come all the way from Santjoemeh?
60751Is that, may I ask, a secret remedy?"
60751Is there anything in that letter about butterflies?"
60751Is there anything wrong with her?"
60751Is there anything wrong?
60751It was a sore disappointment; the stall- keepers were ready to sell, but where was the money to come from?
60751It was not opium-- what was it then?"
60751It was so strange, was it not?
60751It was, however, my duty to investigate the matter--""And?"
60751Just ask yourself that question?"
60751Just fancy, ladies,"he continued, turning to the others,"a comical clerk, who ever heard of such a thing?"
60751Just smell it, Kandjeng toean, is it not delicious?"
60751Just think-- what if they dismissed me from the service altogether?"
60751Let me see, which was it?
60751May not our wild boars, if there are any at all in this ravine, have got away by some other road?"
60751Meanwhile what had been going on inside?
60751Meanwhile, what had befallen Dalima that she thus managed to come up at the right moment of time to rescue Ardjan from compulsory exile?
60751Meidema?"
60751Meidema?"
60751Meidema?"
60751Might she perhaps have mentioned to him only part of the bribe she had received, just to see how he would take it?
60751Might she perhaps have some suspicion that Dalima had been sent on her errand by van Nerekool?
60751Might the pursuit have been given up?
60751Might they have missed the road and gone off on some wrong track?
60751Moreover--""What else?"
60751Murowski the Pole?"
60751Must they leave van Nerekool to perish without an effort?
60751Must they then give up all hope?
60751My ultimatum, that is what they call the last word before a declaration of war, do n''t they, colonel?"
60751No sooner had the creaking door given admittance to the woman than he called out sharply to her:"Where have you been all this time?
60751No, I can not guess-- do tell me, babah?"
60751No?
60751No?"
60751Not stay with you?
60751Nothing can come to it-- unless--""Yes, unless what?"
60751Now I ask you, what am I to think of the vaunted purity of your love?
60751Now I think I am coming to it-- now a light dawns in upon me; and the next case?
60751Now could you give a guess at the price of one of those copper lanterns?"
60751Now do you begin to see why all our hospitals are overcrowded?
60751Now pray let me know, whose evidence may you have heard?"
60751Now that is agreed upon, eh?"
60751Now we were in hopes that we might have met Mr. van Nerekool half way in this matter-- But--""But-- what mamma?
60751Now what do you think of that?
60751Now what else is there?
60751Now will you allow me to see your parents to- morrow and lay before them my formal request for your hand?"
60751Now would you like to know what I have put down in my log, eh?''
60751Now, Mr. Meidema, will you allow me to give you a piece of good advice?"
60751Now, are you really and seriously in love with her?''
60751Now, how can the native be induced, for such utterly inadequate pay, to face this perpetual and deadly risk?
60751Now, how on earth did he manage to get here in that''djoekoeng?''
60751Now, should that happen-- why then all may be well-- You understand me, Laurie, do n''t you?
60751Now, the question is, how can such persons manage to live at all in even the most frugal manner?
60751Now, the question was: where were they to look for Resident van Gulpendam?
60751Now, what is the most serious obstacle?
60751Now, what was I to do?
60751Oh, I beg and pray you, have pity upon me and deliver me from this fearful suspense?"
60751Oh, that cursed Javanese, he threatened me with his kris, did he?
60751On the very morning when I set out with Grenits--""With Grenits?"
60751One day, as they were thus merrily talking, Anna said to her friend:"What if it were the Kjahi who gave us that fright the other day?"
60751One of the very last to give way was Laurentia--"who had a right to interfere with her-- the Resident''s wife?
60751Ought we not rather to find fault with the Government which countenances such abuses?"
60751Partly carried out you said?"
60751Perhaps you take some special interest in the man?"
60751Presently van Nerekool said to Verstork:"Are we not running the risk of hitting some of the men in the rear?"
60751Quite impossible; is it not, Loerah?"
60751Reijnaals-- the son- in- law of the member of the Indian Council?"
60751Said Grashuis:"What untold misery does that detestable opium- policy bring upon this, in other respects, so richly blessed island?
60751Separately?
60751Shall I be able to purge him of that accusation as I know that I have cleared him of the former?
60751Shall I mention these names which are even now on every lip?
60751She jumped up,"May I light it for you, father?"
60751She surely must be aware that she can not quarter herself for an indefinite period of time upon the Steenvlaks?"
60751Should you not rather cast the blame upon me?
60751So I took it for granted that you would be much too busy to--""Do what, madam?"
60751Soon the whole booth was full of men blindly intent upon tempting fortune, while outside the cymbal resounded, and the voices of the actresses(?)
60751Speak, I am prepared to hear what explanation you have to offer for conduct so insubordinate?
60751Starting up Verstork sat up and cried:"Who is there?"
60751Steenvlak?"
60751Such scum as that must be severely dealt with-- do you hear?"
60751Tell me who are you?"
60751Tell me, dearest Anna, may I hope?"
60751Tell me, dearest Anna, tell me, may I hope for some return of my love?"
60751Tell me, have we Dutch any feeling at all for our fellow- creatures?
60751Tell me, pray, what condition did you propose to van Nerekool?"
60751That gadabout has come home at last, has she?"
60751That is a settled question, is it not?"
60751That is agreed upon, is it not?"
60751That is it-- is it not?"
60751That is natural enough; but what I want to know is how you managed to get the native chiefs on your side?"
60751That is the question I would ask you?"
60751That week is up to- day-- is it not?"
60751That will be a step for you, will it not?"
60751The girl stopped at once:"Worse than that?"
60751The inspector tore it open, and, in his excitement he cried,"Where is it?"
60751The native population?
60751The opium?
60751The question you now ask me is this:''To whom do you intend this grave censure to apply?''
60751The rice, of course, how was it that they had never thought of that?
60751The world might, you know-- But no, you love my daughter do you not?"
60751Then a hoarse cry escaped from her lips,"My God, my God,"she sobbed,"has it come to this?
60751Then comes the question, where shall I be sent to?
60751Then how did it come about?"
60751There was but one of the little party who ventured to ask:"Is it quite safe, do you think?"
60751There, Nana?"
60751There?"
60751They must have cost a pretty penny I should think?"
60751This case will be an interesting one, I think?"
60751Thomasz?"
60751Thomasz?"
60751Thomasz?"
60751Thomasz?"
60751Thomasz?"
60751Thomasz?"
60751Thomasz?"
60751To the daughter of that rich old Chinaman-- is it not?"
60751To- morrow you mean to sail in the Emirne, eh?
60751Together?
60751Van Nerekool made an impatient gesture as one who would say:''What is that to me?''
60751Verstork?"
60751Was I forbidden any longer to attempt the rescue of the infatuated wretches around me?
60751Was I now to desist?
60751Was it a kind of dread of being alone for the first time with him whom she loved, and to whom she had just now spoken her faithful and trustful"yes?"
60751Was it a woman''s hand at all?
60751Was it all a mere delusion?
60751Was it natural modesty?
60751Was it the hope which began to dawn within me, or had a reaction already set in?
60751Was it the light in my eyes?
60751Was that the reward for the many years of anxious work which he had bestowed upon his office?
60751Was that then the impression which his long and conscientious services had made upon his superiors at head- quarters?
60751Well, never mind, we will come and look you up now and then-- won''t we, gentlemen?"
60751What are you driving at now?"
60751What are you talking about?
60751What are your orders?"
60751What can it all mean?"
60751What can you expect from such people--?
60751What could I do?
60751What did he gain by it?
60751What did she give you?"
60751What do you say?"
60751What do you taste?"
60751What has become of our merry Theodoor?"
60751What has that booby come on board for I wonder?"
60751What if that high and mighty one were to take up the cause of his servant?
60751What if they should take it up?
60751What in the world about?"
60751What in the world are you doing here?"
60751What in the world is he doing here?"
60751What is it?"
60751What is the matter?"
60751What mercy did you show to me and to my old father?
60751What might be said at Batavia should it be suspected that he felt the slightest distrust or fear?
60751What must be your answer?
60751What news may she have to tell me?"
60751What reason had they for flinging about these suspicions?
60751What right has he to offer my wife and daughters presents of five thousand guilders?"
60751What shall I say in excuse of my indiscretion?
60751What then had been his fate?
60751What was I to do?
60751What was it you saw, Theodoor?"
60751What was the use of troubling you to no purpose?"
60751What will be the end of it all?
60751What will mamma say?"
60751What worse misfortunes can overtake me?
60751What would Santjoemeh be without its chronique scandaleuse?"
60751What would be the use of them?"
60751What would you think of me if I were to take back my report?
60751What, have you been in his power?"
60751What, then-- why, then?
60751What?
60751What?
60751What?
60751When all were seated and the fragrant Manillas were lighted, he continued:"Gentlemen, what do you say to a glass of beer?"
60751When did you last partake of food?"
60751When the girl had come close to the hut, she asked again:"What is the matter?
60751Whenever did a white man keep his promise to us Javanese?
60751Where can she be?
60751Where can she have got to?"
60751Where can you have got to, my child?"
60751Where did that take place?
60751Where have you come from?"
60751Where in the world did you get that from?
60751Where is the rest of the money?"
60751Where might the dear girl be now?
60751Where was now the pleasant little cottage with its neat hedge of golden- yellow bamboo and its clean dark- brown roof of thatch made of leaves?
60751Who are the people that bring this so- called profit to our national chest?
60751Who first discovered them?
60751Who is she?"
60751Who pays that lawyer?"
60751Who will bid for them?
60751Who would be so mad as to declare war against you?
60751Who would have protected my child if I had not done so?
60751Whom else did you examine?"
60751Whose order is that?"
60751Why I held--""Will Mr. van Nerekool take tea or coffee?"
60751Why do you give me that advice?"
60751Why not?"
60751Why should I do so?
60751Why should there be no joy for you in this life?
60751Why, do n''t you know-- he is in the lock- up?"
60751Why?
60751Will anyone bid higher?
60751Will the Kandjeng toean do me the favour of having a look at it?"
60751Will this circumstance be of any use to me at the trial?
60751Will you come with me?
60751Will you please try to recall our conversation on the very evening of the discovery?"
60751William Verstork shook his head doubtfully at this communication,"Is there any truth in all that?"
60751William, my dear friend, you recollect our conversation of last Saturday night at Santjoemeh?"
60751With a loud scream she made an effort to start up,"You, you here?"
60751With what result who could tell?
60751Wonosobo, as you probably know, is 73 miles from Karang Anjer; but what were they in my eyes?
60751Would not the testimony of all the bandoelans, the opium- hunters, the opium- den keepers,''et hoc genus omne,''much rather lie open to suspicion?
60751Would she have to give up all hope of entangling that young man if he could be made to despair of ever obtaining Anna''s hand?
60751Would the Kandjeng toean ever forgive them for it?
60751Would they ever have arisen in my breast if the course of my love, like that of so many of my fellow- men, had run smoothly along?
60751Yes or no?"
60751Yes, he has disappeared-- where can he have got to?"
60751Yes-- but-- might it not have been her breathing somewhat quickened by the exertion of dancing?
60751Yes?
60751You ask what you have done?
60751You ask who are they?
60751You can all understand that-- can you not?"
60751You had an interview yesterday evening with my wife, had you not?''
60751You have heard of the story of Lim Ho and the pretty baboe Dalima?"
60751You have understood me, Wedono, have you not?"
60751You heard the head- djaksa''s prosecution?
60751You knew well enough, did you not, that I wanted the girl?
60751You know Ludovic''s charming duet, do you not?"
60751You know the laws of the Company, do you not?
60751You know, I suppose, where it came from?"
60751You may ask perhaps why make that distinction between the two cases?
60751You must be tired out, and I do n''t suppose you care to return to your hut to- night?
60751You remember in what manner I received your communication last week?"
60751You remember what he said, do you not?
60751You said clause 92?"
60751You tell me that you have been holding an inquiry-- do you not?
60751You will allow that I think?"
60751You will ask then, perhaps, how can people be found to venture on so hazardous an undertaking?
60751You will be there, I presume?"
60751about Anna, you know, and van Nerekool?"
60751adjourned?
60751again cried Singomengolo,"Dalima, where are you hurrying to?"
60751and what did you say to that?"
60751asked Anna,"Theodoor Grenits?
60751asked Charles, somewhat hastily,"what do you mean?
60751asked Dalima in pitying accents,"you, the daughter of a kandjeng toean Resident?"
60751asked another,"Charles van Nerekool going away-- what in the world is that for?"
60751asked the officer, quite surprised,"what do you mean?
60751asked van Nerekool,"what do you mean?"
60751began the auctioneer,"who will make a bid for them?"
60751but I mean before you went to prison?"
60751but what can one expect from a wretched speculator in opium?
60751by Ardjan?"
60751can all this be justly put to the account of my successor?
60751can one expect as much from all the foreigners, which have been shipped out hither?
60751continued Anna,"did he see you?"
60751continued Laurentia,"and what are those blessings?"
60751continued Liem King;"how about her?
60751could she be guilty of smuggling opium?"
60751cried Anna in the greatest excitement;"not love him?
60751cried Anna now really frightened,"Lim Ho?
60751cried Anna, in dismay,"who was he?"
60751cried Anna,"what might that be?"
60751cried Dalima beside herself with terror,"what are you about?"
60751cried Dalima breathless with excitement:"are you sure of that?"
60751cried Grenits in surprise;"have you an outfitting store here in this out- of- the- way place?"
60751cried Grenits,"did ever man hear such an argument as that?
60751cried Meidema, utterly taken aback,"what on earth can the fellow mean?"
60751cried Mrs. van Gulpendam scornfully,"by whom, pray?"
60751cried Than Khan as he roughly tore the veil from the girl''s face,"what have we here?
60751cried Verstork,"what has he got to do with all this?"
60751cried Zuidhoorn,"is that the case with me?"
60751cried one of them,"what to do now?"
60751cried one,"still at it?"
60751cried the Chinaman,"may I beg the Kandjeng toean to accept that little sample as an offering to the njonja?"
60751cried the auctioneer,"Who bids higher?
60751cried the baboe,"how so?
60751cried the echo,"who bids higher?"
60751cried van Gulpendam,"and who are you that you dare to prate about justice, even while you are planning sedition and preparing for murder?
60751cried van Nerekool--"Do not be in a hurry!--And what if meanwhile she should again disappear?"
60751cried van Rheijn somewhat contemptuously,"what does a merchant know about such things?
60751cried van Rheijn,"and then?"
60751does he want the thing to fail altogether?"
60751eh?"
60751exclaimed Dalima, folding her hands in sorrowful wonder,"you, the child of a kandjeng toean?"
60751exclaimed Grenits, sarcastically,"do n''t you think it is about time to cry''Shut up?''"
60751exclaimed Henriette with a laugh,"do you call that so very serious a matter?"
60751exclaimed Laurentia,"the lover of your baboe?"
60751exclaimed van Gulpendam,"do you think I am afraid of burning my hands in cold water?"
60751exclaimed van Nerekool,"and what--?"
60751exclaimed van Nerekool,"how can you bring yourself to suspect William Verstork of illicit traffic?"
60751exclaimed van Rheijn contemptuously,"they say!--and pray who are they?"
60751exclaimed van Rheijn,"with your''dirty source of profit?''
60751eyes?"
60751father and mother dead?"
60751for the opium contract?"
60751has that slut come in again?"
60751he continued, after a few puffs at his pipe,"by cunning?
60751he continued,"what have we here?"
60751he cried,"Grenits, do you hear me; tell me, do you hear me?"
60751he exclaimed,"what have we here?"
60751how could I?
60751inquired Anna,"what place may that be?"
60751interrupted van Gulpendam,"they managed to get one in tow at last?"
60751is that his Excellency''s opinion?"
60751just at this time, when there is so much work on hand?"
60751mercy on such brutes as you?"
60751need I tell you who are the men that thus defraud the revenue?
60751no; Mr. van Nerekool,"said she,"I do not mean that; but will this wretched business compromise him in any way?"
60751not many weeks ago he promised to help me in saving the lover of my baboe and would he now--?"
60751of Chinamen?"
60751of what kind?"
60751on that side?"
60751repeated Mr. Zuidhoorn, surprised in his turn,"is there anything very remarkable about it?"
60751retorted van Rheijn,"does not every one pray for his daily bread?
60751said Meidema, sarcastically,"I suppose you came to offer silk dresses to the njonja Resident?
60751said Mrs. Meidema very coolly,"and who is the young lady?"
60751said she at last amidst the sobs which convulsively shook her entire frame,"can it be true?
60751said the Resident;"and what may be the cause of this sad state of things, Radhen Adipattie?"
60751said the crafty woman,"and what, pray, may be the value of the things?"
60751said van Gulpendam,"what do you women know about business?"
60751said van Nerekool,"where in the world must I get all these things from?
60751shall I take you to your seat?"
60751she asked,"tell me, is he dead?"
60751shouted Lim Ho turning to Ardjan;"do you know what has become of her?"
60751the Opium farmer?"
60751the fellow is right after all!--that''s where the coast lies, is it?
60751unfettered?"
60751was the question of all of them as soon as they had made inquiries after their friend''s health,"well?"
60751what for?"
60751what has become of them?
60751what has he to do with it?"
60751what might that be?"
60751what, to the son of the opium farmer?"
60751where is Mokesuep?"
60751where is that?"
60751where must all this end?
60751whispered the major in a warning voice,"she is standing just there talking to the young judge; what can she have to say to him?"
60751who is I?"
60751why not?"
60751why?"
60751why?"
60751with that''djoekoeng?''"
60751would you take that scoundrel''s word?"
60751you wish me--?"
