38607And what was the service that these Indians had rendered, for which these goods were given by this"_ powerful organization_?"
38607And what will be the consequence?
38607And why did they do it?
38607And why do they pretend to say"his life would have been spared,"and it was only a mistake that he was shot?
38607And why is England, to- day, hesitating to give this church in particular the same confidence she does to all others?
38607And why?

38607Are not your proposed fines and penalties as great or greater than those of the old law?
38607Are the limits of the settlement defined by the municipal law, Selkirk grant, or Indian sale?
38607Are we correct in these conclusions?

38607Are you not ashamed?
38607Are you not satisfied with what you have done?
38607Before the Christmas preceding, Peter put the question to Smith, how he should like to see him kill Mr. John?
38607But, we are asked, what has this to do with the history of Oregon, and its early settlement?

38607Can a half- breed trade furs from another half- breed, in or out of the settlement?
38607Can their friendship be bought by paying them the entire sum they claim?
38607Can this be done?
38607Can we hope to remain a people, always separate and distinct?
38607Can we regard the conduct of such men in any other light than as enemies in peace?
38607Can you have us two or three small guns cast at the foundery?
38607Could we rely upon Captains McCarty, or McKay, or Smith to call out their companies; or Major Howard?
38607Did it conflict with his duties as a British subject?
38607Did not Dr. Whitman, his wife, and all at his mission suffer, and many of them die, to save Oregon as a part of the great American Republic?
38607Did they say they found friends or enemies here?''
38607Do we see it, and shall we accept it?"
38607Do you ask me how I know these things?
38607Do you ask me how I know this?
38607Do you remember my coming to get my gun mended last fall?
38607Do you remember my words, that all was not right with our people, and my inviting you to come and see us?

38607Does a simple slab mark the place of their rest?
38607Father Brouillet know all this?
38607Has a half- breed, a settler, the right to hunt furs in this country?
38607Has a native of this country, not an Indian, a right to hunt furs?
38607Has any one ever before attempted to claim honorable dealing for companies pursuing invariably the same selfish and avaricious course?
38607Have the Americans any right to believe they will pursue any more liberal course toward them than they have, and do pursue toward their countrymen?

38607Have the settlements under their fostering care been successful and prosperous?
38607Have they asked for, or even attempted an explanation, or a refutation of those slanders?

38607I asked him,"How do you know this?"
38607I asked the Indians, if he gave us poison, why did the Americans get sick?
38607I have been much with the Americans and French; they know my heart, can any one tell any thing bad of me?
38607I inquired,"Had you any thing to do with it personally?"
38607I said,"What will become of me?"
38607If a half- breed has the right to hunt furs, can he hire other half- breeds for the purpose of hunting furs?
38607If a person can not trade furs, either in or out of the settlement, can he purchase them for his own and family use, and in what quantity?
38607If it was designed for these priests, who was the designer?
38607If such facts do not implicate a party, we ask what will?
38607If the Doctor, and Mr. Spalding, and Mrs. Whitman were the only ones they thought injuring them, why attempt to kill all the Americans at the station?
38607If they had no confidence in them, why did they repeat them, giving them the color of truth?
38607In that case, did he forfeit his own and the lives of all that fell with him?
38607In the communication signed by Mr. Geiger, he is asked,"What was the cause of discouragement with the Doctor and Mr. Spalding at that time?"

38607Is this severe, kind reader, upon the Board and a portion of Dr. Whitman''s associates?
38607Is this so?

38607Mr. John said to Peter,"Have you seen Laperti?"
38607Mr. Rogers says to Mrs. Whitman,"Shall we let them come up?"
38607Mrs. Whitman asked:"Have the Indians let them have land?"
38607Or did the repeating of these Indian statements by Mr. Craig make them true?
38607Peter answered,"No, I have not seen him;"and then Mr. John said,"Have you seen Urbaine?"

14355Is this all that your art can do in jewelry? 14355 It iss of value, perhaps?"
14355It must be done; but how? 14355 It takes no part in our records?"
14355Look, is not that she?
14355Madam,I exclaimed,"why beat about the bush?
14355Madam,I remarked to my companion,"in what manner can I be of service to you this evening?"
14355Madam,I said to her once more,"who are you and what are you?"
14355Madam,said I to her, at last,"did you indeed think me so cheap as that?
14355May I, then?
14355May not we two ask that other miracle of yourself?
14355Meaning--?
14355Might not in great stress that thief upon the cross have been a woman? 14355 Mr. Dandridge,"said I to him,"you know the Baroness von Ritz?"
14355No longer?
14355No; and why not? 14355 No; how could that be?"
14355No? 14355 Not so bad for a black midnight, eh?"
14355Not sure of what, Madam? 14355 Now, is it wise to make a definite answer in that matter yet?
14355Of course, this conversation is entirely irregular-- I mean to say, wholly unofficial, your Excellency?
14355Of what?
14355Pardon me?
14355Perhaps I make mistake to come by the St. Lawrence? 14355 President Tyler has offered you Mr. Upshur''s portfolio as secretary of state?"
14355Send_ me!_"Would you go?
14355Señora, have you ever seen this slipper?
14355Shall we not take it across direct to Mr. Blair for publication in his_ Globe_?
14355She looked at you, yess?
14355Sir Richard, did you ever love a woman?
14355So much? 14355 So your chief, as you call him, asks me to come to him, at midnight, with you, a stranger?"
14355So, then, it is a great country?
14355So, then, we had here the stage setting,said he;"the pistols, the cause for pistols, sometimes, eh?"
14355So, then, you do not say? 14355 So?"
14355Sometimes you need to be?
14355State secrets, eh?
14355Tell me, Sir Richard, has not that miracle been done?
14355Tell me, do you know what you have said?
14355Tell me, my friend, suppose you had come hither and knocked at my door?
14355Tell me,she said gently,"what security do_ I_ have?
14355That means also Oregon?
14355That, my dear lady,_ I do not suppose!_"You threaten, Señor Secretary?
14355The baroness?
14355Then I am again your prisoner?
14355Then I may start soon for Oregon?
14355Then do you accept? 14355 Then it belongs to another woman?"
14355Then the names-- or at least one?
14355Then this is to be the last time we meet?
14355Then you did have a message? 14355 Then you do not know the lady?"
14355Then you got on well?
14355Then you offer me no hope, Doctor?
14355Then you think there is a chance of trouble between our country and England, out there?
14355Then you will play it fair with us? 14355 Then, as to that breakfast_ à la fourchette_ with Madam; if I remain, will you agree to tell me what is your business here?"
14355Then, does that not end it?
14355There is danger--"For me?
14355They have adjourned at the House, then?
14355This journey to- night,I began;"can I not be excused from making that?
14355Those? 14355 To Montreal?
14355Trouble of any kind?
14355Under duress?
14355Under penalty?
14355Unless what, John? 14355 War, sir,_ war_?"
14355We have good news of some kind this morning, sir?
14355Well, then, Madam, why all this hoighty- toighty? 14355 Well, why should you ask me to help you, then?
14355Well,said the other,"have you not said there is a God of Battles?"
14355Were you, then, married?
14355What are_ my_ stakes? 14355 What can it be?"
14355What could this country give more than Mexico or England?
14355What do you mean about home? 14355 What do you mean?
14355What do you mean?
14355What do you mean?
14355What do you think of my little place?
14355What do you_ mean?_She repeated it again, as though half in horror.
14355What does Monsieur suggest?
14355What does this mean, that I see here? 14355 What fat, my son?"
14355What guessing game do you propose, Madam?
14355What has my chief said to cause you to fail poor Mr. Pakenham as you did? 14355 What have I done?"
14355What have you done? 14355 What have you done?"
14355What is it to the tree which consumes another tree-- the flower which devours its neighbor? 14355 What is the distance, do you think?"
14355What is the matter? 14355 What iss it?"
14355What time can England make with her brigades, west- bound, my friend?
14355What were_ you?_ Mistress of the prince of France! 14355 What will it do?"
14355What would you do if I refused to go with you?
14355What would you have given to have been there yourself?
14355What''s wrong, Nicholas?
14355What, then, is the answer of John Calhoun to this latest call of his country?
14355What? 14355 When will you be back?"
14355Where are you going?
14355Where do you propose going, then, my friend?
14355Where else?
14355Where?
14355Who is here, then? 14355 Who is it?
14355Why be churlish with me?
14355Why do you not ask me outright_ why_ I am here?
14355Why should I not be?
14355Why should I?
14355Why should a man ever do anything_ in_definite, Jim Polk?
14355Why should you? 14355 Why so soon?"
14355Why, how do you mean?
14355Why, what do you mean?
14355Why?
14355Will Monsieur carve?
14355Will it please you to go in your own carriage, or shall I return with one for you?
14355Will you accept?
14355With England? 14355 Would you like Oregon?"
14355Would you plunge this country into war? 14355 Would you retire now, Madam?"
14355Yes?
14355Yet you can not guess how to persuade me?
14355You also are acquainted with these?
14355You are American?
14355You are armed?
14355You ask me what I should do?
14355You condemn me?
14355You did marry him?
14355You did not live at your own home with your father?
14355You did not see that note?
14355You do not tell me_ you_ would do that?
14355You forget someting?
14355You have been at Fort Vancouver?
14355You have but love- and this country?
14355You have crossed the Rockies? 14355 You have heard how?
14355You have heard of me, you knew of me?
14355You have personal interest in this?
14355You know Miss Elisabeth Churchill?
14355You know what it iss, eh?
14355You mean Señor Yturrio?
14355You mean my daughter Helena?
14355You must, at a guess, have come up by way of the lakes, and by batteau from La Prairie?
14355You put his message in your slipper?
14355You told him somewhat of yourself?
14355You will follow as close on their heels as you can?
14355You will give my government that information?
14355You will not even ask me why I am here?
14355You would be surprised if I told you the truth? 14355 You would not call Mr. Polk important?"
14355Your cage, Madam?
14355Your own country was Austria?
14355Your wedding?
14355_ Eh bien!_ madam, why do you bar me out?
14355_ Eh bien?_I answered.
14355_ Eh bien_, Madam?
14355_ Et moi?_"And you?
14355_ Et moi?_"And you?
14355_ How may I serve the Baroness?_said I.
14355_ Married?_ Zounds! 14355 _ One_ slipper?
14355_ Van Zandt!_ Madam, are you indeed in the camp of_ all_ these different interests? 14355 _ Were you married_--that other night?"
14355_Whose friend am I?"
14355''Twas all no more than half a jest""How could you do it?"
14355''What do they_ think_?''
14355A deep fire burned in her eyes, that was true; but on her face was-- what?
14355A friend-- what is that?
14355Ah, am I not?"
14355Ah, but do I not know?
14355Ah, did I not?
14355All I could do was to guess and to point to the inscription on the white top of the foremost wagon:"_ Fifty- four Forty or Fight!_""Is Polk elected?"
14355Am I not an apt student?
14355And did I not tell you you would one day, one way, find your reward?"
14355And did not I, repenting, marry you to her-- did not I, on my knees, marry you to her that night?
14355And does that not mean that you are also at war with England?
14355And for your sake-- and the sake of sport-- did I not almost promise him many things?
14355And in any case, if trouble can be deferred until to- morrow, why concern oneself over it?
14355And so you got into your own carriage-- alone-- after a while?
14355And so, when you were there you put on the shoe which was left?
14355And when we shall be worth that price, what numerals shall mark our territorial lines?
14355And would you use women in our diplomacy?"
14355And your husband died?"
14355And"How do you do?"
14355Are they all alike?"
14355Are we worth the price paid for the country that we gained?
14355Are you going to Elmhurst as you look now?"
14355Are you my friend, or are we to be enemies to- night?"
14355Are you not adventurer enough to forget that other woman for one night?"
14355Are you so ignorant-- and you a physician, who know them both?
14355Are you the friend of America, or are you a spy upon America?
14355Are you then with England and Sir Richard Pakenham?
14355Are you too high- priced to have for a friend-- for a friend to our Union-- a friend of the principle of democracy?
14355As he was servant of a purpose, of an ideal of triumphant democracy, why should not I also serve in a cause so splendid?
14355As to the use of women-- tell me,_ why not women?_ Why anything_ else_ but women?
14355As to the use of women-- tell me,_ why not women?_ Why anything_ else_ but women?
14355At least, why should I not also enjoy intrigue with yonder government of Mexico at the same time?
14355Betray you, Monsieur?
14355But come now, was I not bound in some sort of honor to my great and good friend, Sir Richard?
14355But come, do I have my little slipper?"
14355But did I discard you for that?
14355But how might that be done?
14355But now, as I walk, before my eyes on the street, I see what?
14355But now, you have seen Elisabeth?"
14355But suppose it_ could_ be averted?
14355But tell me, where did you find these pieces of raw gold?"
14355But tell me,_ were you not then married?_""No, I am alone, Madam.
14355But what of that?
14355But whence came that spirit of revolution in Europe?
14355But whose ship was she?
14355But why go East, instead of West?
14355But why?
14355But will you not also tell me what is the news from Château Ramezay?
14355But would that be a reason?
14355But you did not find my message?"
14355But_ why_?
14355But_ why_?"
14355By what miracle did you come through?
14355Calhoun?"
14355Can I not-- may I not be mistaken?"
14355Can they get across next fall, think you?"
14355Can we transport our army there in time?
14355Come now, am I not to see you and explain all that; and hear you explain all this?"
14355Come, can you betray a people of whom you can say so much?"
14355Come, do you not know some of those things?"
14355Come, has not fate been kind to us again?"
14355Come, now, Madam, is it to be war?"
14355Come, now, why do you delay?"
14355Come, what security shall_ I_ have?"
14355Come, will you not give it to me?"
14355Could I not make merchandise of my sorrow?
14355Could a man really get a mile square of good farm land without trouble?
14355Could he come to your apartments in broad daylight and that fact not be known?
14355Could she humor a peevish friend so much as that?
14355Could this indeed be her residence?
14355Could you go to the office of a United States senator and possible cabinet minister in broad daylight and that fact not be known?
14355Dare you not come into ours?
14355Dear lady, may we not conspire together-- for the ultimate good of three republics, making of them two noble ones, later to dwell in amity?
14355Did I know any of them?
14355Did I not see?
14355Did n''t you make a show of me before that ass, Tyler, when I was at the very point of my greatest coup?
14355Did she despise me as a faint- heart?
14355Did she indeed sail with the British ships from Montreal?
14355Did that hurt our chances with France?
14355Did you never hear the other gossip?
14355Did_ you_ ever hear of''America Vespucci''?"
14355Do I make myself quite clear?"
14355Do I not know?"
14355Do n''t you remember that?
14355Do they not elect us to subserve those interests?"
14355Do you begin to understand?"
14355Do you come to- night-- this afternoon?"
14355Do you happen to know where he is now?"
14355Do you mean to break your word-- your promise?"
14355Do you not approve?"
14355Do you not remember our bargain?
14355Do you not suppose I have something to do besides feeding a canary?
14355Do you not think so?"
14355Do you perchance know the watchword which is now on the popular tongue west of the Alleghanies?
14355Do you perhaps wish to hunt mushrooms in the Georgetown woods when morning comes?
14355Do you think I would risk more than I have risked?
14355Do you think so?"
14355Do you wish a third war?
14355Does Monsieur think that I, too, was in wine?"
14355Does he want Texas for England, or the Baroness von Ritz_ for himself?_"Ward still sat and looked at him.
14355Does it follow that at the ball at the White House he could have removed that shoe?
14355Does that not mean you are again at war with Mexico?
14355England or the United States-- monarchy or republic-- aristocracy or humanity''?
14355Erskine, of England, when times were strained in 1808, and later-- and our friend for the most part-- was not he also husband of an American?
14355Father, is it not so?"
14355Fight_ us_?"
14355First, of course, for what reason do you carry the secrets of my government into the stronghold of another government?
14355For instance, how could she know if her husband should perchance leave the legation to which he was attached and pay a visit to another nation?"
14355Go with you to Washington?
14355Had they seen a small party east- bound?
14355Had you no friends among us?
14355Haf I not seen them?
14355Has my chief not proved himself fair with you?"
14355Has she not made her report?"
14355Has she not made known her presence here?
14355Have I punished you for_ that?_ No, I have only shown you the more regard."
14355Have n''t I stood flouts and indignities enough from you?
14355Have you lied to me?
14355He was tall and young and handsome and rich, do you see?
14355How can I be held to blame for the act of a drunken friend?
14355How can I help you?
14355How could I?"
14355How could you?
14355How did she seem to part with you?"
14355How may I pay?"
14355How much are we prepared?
14355How shall I tell of those stirring times in such way that readers who live in later and different days may catch in full their flavor?
14355How was the land?
14355How was the weather?
14355How would it look written in the smoke of musketry?"
14355How, then, might I gain yet closer touch?
14355How, then, shall I gain your friendship for my country?
14355How_ did_ you do it?"
14355I am doubted?
14355I ask you how you got access to that meeting to- night-- for I doubt not you were there?"
14355I can not offer gems, as does Señor Yturrio-- but, would this be of service-- until to- morrow?
14355I have found you since then playing with Mexico, Texas, United States all at once?
14355I have not had time-- I have had no leave from you to come to see you-- to ask you-- to explain--""Explain?"
14355I have proposed half a dozen times more to Miss Elisabeth, have I not?"
14355I have seen about me here these savages-- savages who have walked thousands of miles in a pilgrimage-- for what?"
14355I have still the right to ask you why you did not take them?
14355I heard him grumble, at length;"how can one tell what a woman''ll do?
14355I never saw you in my life until this very moment-- how, then, do you know me?
14355I presume of course you know whom I mean?"
14355I presume that the minister of the gospel is already here?"
14355I say, was that the way to treat me, coming as I did?"
14355I think you understand me, perhaps, Señora Yturrio?"
14355I trust you did not find our little repast to- night unpleasing?
14355I was following them?
14355I wish that I might love her now, do you know?
14355I would like to take your arms in my hands and crush them, until--""Until what?"
14355I-- could I have a glass of wine?"
14355If England provides us so beautiful a picture, why could she not afford a frame more suitable?
14355If I do that, Elisabeth, you will marry me then?"
14355If you entered my abode once,"she said,"why not again?
14355If you train with him, why come to our camp for help?"
14355If, then, you are not for England, in God''s name,_ whose friend are you?
14355Impossible?
14355Is Madam''s wardrobe with her?
14355Is it not so?"
14355Is it not so?"
14355Is not that the truth, my father?"
14355Is not the net full enough?"
14355Is not the youth of all these things still your own?"
14355Is that all?"
14355Is the place safe at last?"
14355It came to you there, at that time?"
14355It is not Mr. Calhoun; it is not I. Mr. Calhoun only puts before you the summons of--""Of what?"
14355It is old, old, is it not?
14355It iss sometings of honor, iss it not?"
14355It would be shorter to go by New York?
14355Jack, will you do two things for me?"
14355Lady, this time?"
14355Madam, can not you use your wits in a cause so worthy as mine?"
14355Meantime, you have not reported?"
14355Must I do some of these things-- force you into obedience-- carry you away in a sack?
14355My Lord Oswald, of Great Britain, who negotiated our treaty of peace in 1782--was not his worldly fortune made by virtue of his American wife?
14355My friend, can it-- can it in part justify me-- now?
14355Now, he comes...""But, Madam-- ah, how could you so disappoint my belief in you?"
14355Now, is this any comfort to you?"
14355Now, suppose I had a message-- where do you think I could hide it; granted, of course, the conditions obtaining at a ball in the White House?"
14355Now, what shall we do?"
14355Of course you do not know anything of this?"
14355Of course, my dear Madam, we talk riddles in your presence?"
14355Of course, you do not mean what you have said about being married in such haste?"
14355Of what use could I be to you?"
14355On the other hand, what of interest could America offer?"
14355On the streets?"
14355One apiece, eh?"
14355Only now--""Only what, then?"
14355Pakenham?"
14355Pakenham?"
14355Pakenham?"
14355Perhaps, after all, we all had been misinformed regarding her?
14355Polk?"
14355Secretary?"
14355Secretary?_"he exclaimed, turning to Calhoun.
14355Shall I decline to go?
14355Shall I go to her, shall I tell her?"
14355Shall I show you my bugs of Oregon?
14355Shall I take it?
14355Shall not that for which she stood help us hold it?
14355Shall we call it the Calhoun Doctrine?"
14355Shall we not hope to see all this continent swept free of monarchy, held_ free_, for the peoples of the world?"
14355She was free to mock me, why?
14355Sir, tell me, what have_ principles_ to do with_ elections_?"
14355So now, we three-- no, four-- at last understand one another, do we not?
14355So the wind is there, eh?
14355So you hastily departed-- to your wedding?"
14355So, now, what I got, eh?
14355So, then, one answer for another, we might do-- what you Americans call some business-- eh?
14355Some attaché of the British Embassy at Washington?
14355Some minister from England itself, sent here direct?"
14355Some such souls are born, do you not think?"
14355Still I would not accept my dismissal, but went on stubbornly:"But may I not see your father and have my chance again?
14355Suppose I do not like this other woman?"
14355Suppose I might listen to such suits-- might there not be some life for me-- some life with events?
14355Suppose Van Zandt proves traitorous to us?"
14355Suppose the Señora Yturrio herself_ could_ avert it?
14355Suppose the Señora could remain here still, in this city which she so much admires?
14355Suppose you invade Texas, as the threat is, with troops of the United States, before Texas is a member of the Union?
14355Tell me where you get it?"
14355Tell me, Sir Richard, am I not clean?"
14355Tell me, are you a spy of that man Pakenham?"
14355Tell me, do you see me now?
14355Tell me, now,"she concluded,"what became of the other shell from this clasp?"
14355Tell me, what argument did you use with her last night?"
14355Tell me, what does this council mean regarding Oregon?
14355Tell me, what have you learned?"
14355Tell me, when will it arrive on the Columbia?"
14355Tell me, who was the wise man who described all this to you?"
14355Tell me, you go soon to Oregon?"
14355Tell me,_ were_ you married?"
14355That iss much?
14355The alternative?
14355The bargain?"
14355The people may get out of hand_ before the convention!_""Why should they not?
14355The representatives of Mexico?
14355The women?
14355Then why should her heart beat one stroke the faster now?
14355They leave their own homes and make new governments, yess?
14355This has not been made public?"
14355Treason?
14355Trist?"
14355Tyler?"
14355Was it not life?"
14355Was it not treachery enough to rebuke him for his attentions to the Doña Lucrezia?"
14355Was it then for the sake of ease, for the sake of selfishness?
14355Was it then true that faith and loyalty could purchase alike faithlessness and-- failure?
14355Was it then true that faith could purchase faith-- and win not failure, but success?
14355Was not life, indeed, for her to remain a perpetual tragedy?
14355Was not your mother clean in her heart?
14355Was she incognita here?
14355Was there any likelihood of trouble with the Indians or with the Britishers?
14355Was there much game?
14355Was there the slightest mocking sneer in her words?
14355Was this indeed the covert embassy of England?
14355Wass I not also young once?
14355We must have--""Free?"
14355Well, then, for myself?
14355Well, what more?
14355Well-- Miss Elisabeth, may I be the first to congratulate?"
14355Were there not other swords upon which they might have fallen-- those of their enemies?"
14355What are you?"
14355What can he wish?"
14355What chance would we have with so powerful a nation as that?"
14355What could comfort her?
14355What could he now mean?
14355What could the girl do or say?
14355What do you mean-- still hearing the rustle of skirts?"
14355What do you mean?
14355What do you mean?"
14355What do you say to this?
14355What does it augur, Madam?"
14355What does it mean, Monsieur?
14355What had I done-- what had I been-- what could I ever be?
14355What had happened there for me?
14355What had the world ever given me?
14355What have you done?"
14355What is the inference?
14355What is wrong?"
14355What made her go?
14355What might you have been?_''"So now,"she concluded,"you asked me, asked me what I was, and I have told you.
14355What of my own heart?
14355What others?
14355What rare and splendid wedlock brings forth_ that_ manner of offspring?"
14355What then?"
14355What will you give me, then, to tell you what I know?"
14355What woman of the court of Austria or France comes out with_ morals?_ We used you here because you had none.
14355What would Monsieur do if Monsieur were in my place-- and if I were in Monsieur''s place?
14355What would you say to a stiff demand there, with a strong show of military force behind it?"
14355What would you say, for instance, regarding its safety for a lady traveling across-- a small party, you know, of her own?
14355What would''that man Pakenham''suspect in either case?
14355What''s the news?"
14355What, now, is your wish?"
14355Where did_ you_ get it, then?"
14355Where is all that to come from?
14355Where is that other key?
14355Where is your political party, John?
14355Which of us knew all the motives that had lain behind its setting?
14355Who are they?
14355Who can teach yon love of woman as can I?
14355Who did that?
14355Who is it at the door?"
14355Who makes and unmakes cities and empires and republics to- day?
14355Whose agent was she now?
14355Why did you not go to him?"
14355Why does your taste run to such quarters as these?
14355Why is England so secret with us?"
14355Why not myself?
14355Why should I be faithful to England?
14355Why should I, my dear girl?"
14355Why should I?
14355Why should not I?"
14355Why should we be?"
14355Why should we not be friends in every way, and fair ones?"
14355Why should we not please ourselves?"
14355Why should you?
14355Why so anxious, my son?"
14355Why was she going east instead of west, away from Oregon instead of to Oregon?
14355Why, then, should I love him as I did?
14355Why?
14355Why?
14355Why_ then_?
14355Will you answer_ my_ question?"
14355Will you do that now?"
14355Will you give my family a chance for revenge on these accursed heathen-- these Americans?
14355Will you have a Dream with me?
14355Will you have_ that_, my lord?
14355Will you not shield me once again?"
14355Will you not take them now?"
14355Will you serve again, John?"
14355Will you tell me in turn of yourself?"
14355Without her, you heathen people would not present a solid front, would you?"
14355Would it not be better to defer action until later-- until after, I may say--""Until after you know what your own chances will be, Jim?"
14355Would it raise wheat and corn and hogs?
14355Would it take much labor to clear a farm?
14355Would there be also an expedition by sea?
14355Would you not like to travel with me in America so far as that?"
14355Would you pit two peoples, like cocks on a floor?
14355Would-- would she let me-- if she knew?"
14355You are married?"
14355You can not?
14355You do not think me a fool for telling you what I have?"
14355You do not?
14355You have him in the net also?
14355You have perhaps seen the Oregon country?
14355You know that I am back in the Senate once more?"
14355You know what went forward?"
14355You say that you and she talked of_ principles?_""Yes, we went so far into abstractions."
14355You shall see them, yess?
14355You told Mr. Calhoun what he desired to know?"
14355You understand him?"
14355You want more?
14355You will not betray me?
14355You will ride home with us after a time, I am sure?"
14355You would like to see them bruised by the hard going in some heathen country?
14355You-- you, what have you not done for us?
14355_ Did_ you find her there-- in Oregon?"
14355_ Granted_ he was in wine,_ granted_ he followed me,_ granted_ he had my shoe in his possession-- what then?
14355_ N''est- ce pas vrai, mon drôle?_"she asked, turning to put her arm on her father''s shoulder as he dropped weakly on the couch beside her.
14355_ Stella Terræ_ I name it-- my Star of the Earth, that which I crave but do not always haf, eh?
14355_ Vice versa_, I suppose?"
14355_ What_ is it?
14355_ What_ value, Madam?"
14355_ Where_ originated that germ of liberty which did its work so well?
14355_ Why_ does it live, grow, increase, even now?
14355_ Why_ does it sound now, close to the oldest thrones?
14355_ Why_?"
14355` What do the people say?''
14355asked Calhoun serenely;"and what fire?"
14355boy, what do you mean?
14355exclaimed Polk;"eh?"
14355is there no little pity in your heart for me, after all?--who succeeded only to fail so miserably?"
14355it may be?
14355my friend, who is to give those to others who follow us?
14355said he at last, softly; but Calhoun went on:"Why, who has made the maps of the world, and who has written pages in its history?
14355said he,"you jealous beggar, could you not leave me to be happy for one minute?
14355she went on,"--in a strange town-- and on a strange errand?
14355were it not, after all, enough, this, if one be loved?''
14355what do we not see?
14355woman, what are you asking_ now?_ Do you want me to let you have this paper anyhow, to show old John Calhoun?
14355woman, what are you asking_ now?_ Do you want me to let you have this paper anyhow, to show old John Calhoun?
14355would it not be enough?"
14355you do n''t call it out of the way for me to seek the nomination?
