29752	And if so, do you think Boris is with them?"
29752	And of the danger zones of every kind which followed-- of storm and battle and bloody death-- does not the Saga of Eglis give us a full account?

29752	Art thou troubled about them?"
29752	Both, Mother?"
29752	By whom, Coll?"

29752	Do happy people get tired?"
29752	Do they not believe me?"
29752	Do you imagine the Ragnors will hold wedding festivities, while their eldest son is dying, or his broken body on its way home for burial?"

29752	Do you remember, Thora, any incident depending upon a ram?"

29752	Dost thou want her here, as thy stepmother?"
29752	Everything is ready for thee, and mother is dressed, and as for Thora, is she not pretty tonight?"
29752	For who, think you, should he marry but a proud upsetting Englishwoman, who was bound to be master and mistress both o''er the hale household?
29752	From top to toe?"
29752	From what strange depth of Life did they come?
29752	Had she not the Burns story to tell?
29752	Have I fretted and pined, and forgot to eat and sleep, and gone dowdy and slovenly, because my lover has been fool enough to desert me?
29752	Have the French forgotten it?
29752	Have they forgot Waterloo?"
29752	Have they not done bothering yet?"
29752	Have they suddenly become friends?
29752	Have you had a pleasant day?
29752	He felt the trouble coming nearer and nearer, but what was it?
29752	He is a Scotch nobleman-- the Scotch are not cowards-- what has he done, Coll?"
29752	He looked at her a little impatiently for a few moments, then he asked:"To what port has thy son Boris sailed?"
29752	He looked at her and nodded his head, and then smilingly asked:"How did thou find thy friend this morning?"
29752	He looked at his little brother and said:"Aunt, he will sleep now for a few hours, will you watch him till I return?"
29752	He looked so much older, his eyes were two wells of sorrow, his distress had passed beyond words, and when she asked,"What is thy trouble, Coll?"
29752	He may employ them and yet not love them?"
29752	He waited patiently until she said:"If I tell thee what was told me, wilt thou visit the story upon my husband, or myself, or any of my children?"
29752	How can I forgive?"
29752	How can Thou permit this?"
29752	How can the like of him hinder the Bishop''s wish?"
29752	How could she sit still and not talk of Boris and Ian?
29752	How do they come to be in my memory?
29752	How many boats has Boris?"
29752	How much will an ensign''s commission cost?"
29752	How soon dost thou expect him?"
29752	I believe that he is a hypocrite-- Thora is so easily deceived----""And thou?"
29752	I suppose that you had no time to visit any of the ancient monuments there?"
29752	I thought Boris was to remain here until the naval party returned from Shetland?"
29752	I was also sure that if the news was true, it would find thee out-- if not true, why should Rahal Ragnor sow seeds of suspicion and ill- will?
29752	I would n''t wonder if the party is n''t my own brother, Captain Conall Ragnor?"
29752	If I asked thee to marry a young man whom I wished thee to marry, would thou do it-- just to please me?"
29752	If Ian is what Jean Hay says he is, could we think of our child living with him?
29752	If she would put her boasting into words, I could answer her; but who can answer looks?"
29752	In the meantime, the whole town was eager to do something but what could they do that would give the immediate relief that was needed?
29752	Is Sunna disobedient to thee?"
29752	Is it not so?"
29752	Is it that Darwin book thou art looking for?"
29752	Is she not lovely?"
29752	Is that not the case?"
29752	Is that not the truth?"
29752	Is that old?"
29752	Is that what thou calls the crime?
29752	Is there any favour you would take from the Baal and Moloch worshipped with fire and blood among them?"
29752	Is there any man in the Orcades who dares to say''No,''to his wife''s''Yes?''"
29752	Is there any woman we know, who would presume to give thee advice or counsel?
29752	Is there nothing more?"
29752	Is thy mistress in the house?"
29752	Macrae?"
29752	My girl is unhappy and angry, and I myself am far from being satisfied; thou tell, what is wrong between them?"
29752	Now shall I do as I am minded?"
29752	Now what do you think of your handsome Macrae?
29752	Now, how could this love affair have come to perfection so rapidly?
29752	Oh why were all my bairns lasses?
29752	On the contrary he asked:"Then, Ian?
29752	One thing I wish to know-- in what way hast thou deserved it?"
29752	Or has he already taken the Queen''s shilling?
29752	Or is it a compliment?"
29752	Or perhaps the offence is with Rahal Ragnor?
29752	Paul''s?"
29752	Ragnor looked in the youth''s face with shining eyes and asked, almost in a whisper,"What did thou do?"
29752	Rahal, could there be a better description of Russia--''her right hand of falsehood, her mouth speaking vanity?''
29752	Shall I speak their names?"
29752	Shall I speak to Boris?"
29752	Shall we go together?"
29752	She seems to have had some strong claim upon thy-- shall we say friendship?"
29752	Should thy grandchild forgive him?
29752	Sunna loves Eric?"
29752	Surely you will not let that jealous, envious letter stand between Thora and myself?"
29752	The Masons are good men, Mother?"
29752	The mail packet brought the bad news, I suppose?"
29752	The old trouble?''
29752	Then Sunna retailed the information given her and asked,"What hast thou done to Conall Ragnor?
29752	Then he looked keenly at me, and asked:''What is the matter, Ian?
29752	Then she began to wonder and ask herself,"Where did those words come from?
29752	Then she lifted her eyes from the pastry she was making and looking at Thora, asked:"Art thou not too lightly clothed?"
29752	Then the Bishop gave Ragnor and Thora a comforting look, as he asked,"Who wrote that song, Ian?"
29752	Then the Mason''s Arms may be lucky to us?"
29752	Then, looking at her mother, she asked:"Are the boots sufficient, or shall I wear over them my French clogs?"
29752	Then, what did thou do?"
29752	There was a few moments of silence and then Ian said,"Have I done anything unpardonable?
29752	There was sure to be letters, what news would they bring?
29752	Thora, I hope, is all right?"
29752	Thora, have you an almanac?"
29752	Thou must have heard of Andrew Horner?"
29752	Thou must have seen?"
29752	Thou would not like me to dress God''s altar in anything but pure white linen?
29752	Thou, and thy daughter, and thy servants are sufficient for all thy social plans; and why should thou be bothered with a lot of old and young women?
29752	To injure him in any way?
29752	Was it going to fail him, as everything else had done?
29752	Was it in dreams only?
29752	Was it necessary for Agnes Henderson to disguise herself?"
29752	Was it not the last dinner he would eat with them for three months?
29752	Well, then, Barbara Brodie?"
29752	What better is my twenty- first birthday than any other day?
29752	What can I do?
29752	What can thou do?"
29752	What can women do on this hard world- road with such impediments as French clogs over English boots?"
29752	What could Jean have to do with Thora''s affairs?"
29752	What did thou do, or say, that has so far grieved him?
29752	What do lovers talk about when they are alone?
29752	What do you think of McLeod?"
29752	What do you think of that?
29752	What do you think of the Brodies now?"
29752	What dost thou think of it?"
29752	What dost thou think?"
29752	What dost thou want?"
29752	What favour art thou seeking?"

29752	What is thy meaning?
29752	What is thy wish?"
29752	What is wrong with my dress?"
29752	What makes them''the best''?
29752	What month of our year is signed thus?"
29752	What shall we say?
29752	What the devil am I to think?"
29752	What then, if I make Boris rich?"
29752	What then?"
29752	What then?"
29752	What was he to be questioned about?
29752	What were you thinking of, Bishop?"
29752	What will become of my wedding dress?
29752	What will you ask of the ghosts among the Stones of Stenness?
29752	What wilt thou do all the summer, with no lover to wait on thy whims and fancies?"
29752	What wilt thou do?
29752	What woman is there who can read a man''s heart?"
29752	What would you like to do with yourself?"
29752	What, then, do they say?"
29752	When did I hear them?
29752	Where did I say them before?
29752	Where first did you go?"
29752	Where is Thora?"
29752	Where is thy mistress?"
29752	Where shall we go today?
29752	Who can add to it?
29752	Who else is there?
29752	Who else would I have left two engagements to serve?

29752	Why did n''t he do so?
29752	Why did you not tell the Ragnors on your first acquaintance with them?"
29752	Why not?"
29752	Why not?"
29752	Why should I run into danger?
29752	Will that be to thy wish?"
29752	Will thou hear it now?"
29752	Will you do that?"
29752	Wilt thou bless me?"
29752	Wilt thou go with me?
29752	Wilt thou have a little more of it?"
29752	Wilt thou see it is set on a fair way to reach his hand?"
29752	Would such a blissful hour ever come again to him in this life?
29752	Would thou marry Boris to please me?"
29752	You know, Sunna-- surely you know?"
29752	You mean it is Lent, Adam?"
29752	ejaculated Ragnor,"how is that?"
29752	in order to get used to it?"
29752	why try to describe a girl so lovely?
29752	would not have frightened thee, I suppose?"
14149	And Kinlay?
14149	And are you going to say that this Pilgrim was the vessel in which Mr. Quendale sailed for Copenhagen?

14149	And which of ye beat the other, Halcro?
14149	And ye dinna ken who it was that murdered him? 14149 And you never suspected that she was not your true mother?"
14149	And you waited about there until Dr. Linklater came?
14149	And your mother-- I mean Mrs. Kinlay-- was she good to you?
14149	Anything about Thora?
14149	Are ye at the head o''the class yet, Halcro?
14149	Are ye deaf? 14149 Are ye going for a sail today, Hal?"
14149	Are ye there, Jack?
14149	Are you going on to Stromness? 14149 Are you sure that Ericson had not the gun with him when he knocked you up on Friday night?"
14149	Ay; she''s a rakish craft, is n''t she? 14149 But how far is this place Kirkwall?"
14149	But on whose authority have you taken the St. Magnus? 14149 But the thing is of no use to me, sir, is it?"
14149	But then, there''s another difficulty, pilot; where will the spirits come from?
14149	But then, what about the dead man''s head?
14149	But what about the pilot boat?
14149	But what on earth could the lass want in the cave?
14149	But what think you of it all, Tom?
14149	But what use are they, whatever? 14149 But what was it you were saying about mice?"
14149	But where are Carver and Tom, and the boat''s crew?
14149	But, sir, how do you identify this supposed grave with that of the particular warrior you have mentioned?
14149	But,I continued,"what will they say to you at Crua Breck, if they hear you have done this thing?"
14149	Can ye walk with me as far as Mary Firth''s?
14149	Can you not pay attention, and let pussy mind her own tail? 14149 Can you not see it''s a harrier-- a hen harrier?"
14149	Can you not see, lad? 14149 Captain Flett,"said the bailie excitedly,"I want the lad Ericson; where is he?"
14149	Could Ericson come aboard when we''re round in Stromness?
14149	D''ye know the craft?
14149	D''ye not hear me, sir?
14149	D''ye want to sell the thing, Halcro?
14149	Dear me, father,objected my mother,"d''ye really think it wise to tak''the laddie frae the school, an''him gettin''on sae weel wi''the dominie?"
14149	Did she not say where she was going to?
14149	Did the pilot say that our masts are too high, Miss Ericson?
14149	Did ye get some good fishing at the Bush, sir?
14149	Did you both go into the cottage?
14149	Do you know any other lad in Pomona who could have done such a thing? 14149 Do you not know me?
14149	Does she take us for a smuggler?
14149	Ericson,asked Mr. Duke,"how came the stone in your possession on Saturday?"
14149	Feared, were you? 14149 First of all,"said he,"I will ask if you remember Carver Kinlay''s arrival in the Mainland?"
14149	For Thora? 14149 Had we not better send for Mrs. Kinlay, to hear what she has to say on the matter?"
14149	Halcro, d''you think we could get down there and see the cave?
14149	Has Carver been ill using you again?
14149	Has Paterson got a boat yet, Halcro?
14149	Has either o''ye been across at Jack Paterson''s croft?
14149	Have any of our men been saved?
14149	Have they not been out seeking for the lass?
14149	Have they saved father?
14149	Have ye walked from Stromness the day?
14149	Have you ever had this curious stone in your possession, Kinlay?
14149	Have you got that ring?
14149	Hello, Jack, what''s troubling you now?
14149	Here''s a cold day for ye, eh?
14149	His men must suffer, you say?
14149	How can we be sure that the thing will be the saving of you, if ye dinna put it to the trial?
14149	How is it you are not at the fishing, Halcro?
14149	How long will it take us to get there?
14149	How was that, Halcro?
14149	How were ye rescued, and where are Peter and Jerry?
14149	How, then, do you account for Kinlay getting into the cave?
14149	I daresay that; but what made ye think of eatin''the bannock when ye were in such danger?
14149	I say, lads,I began,"d''ye ken what Dominie Drever says about the siller things we found at Skaill?"
14149	I suppose you have been sailing foreign a good deal in your time, pilot?
14149	I suppose,the officer continued,"we can send the prisoners ashore to your jail, sir?"
14149	I understand, Thora,said Mr. Duke,"that you know something concerning the death of Colin Lothian?"
14149	If you not satisfy, den I gif you six shilling more; wot you say, eh? 14149 In midsummer?"
14149	Is it good for eating?
14149	Is it not between Westray and Fara?
14149	Is it the man who first sees the whale that has the blubber? 14149 Is this man a pilot, Ericson?"
14149	Is this worth anything?
14149	It''s no''possible that Carver has ony hand in the smuggling, is it, Colin?
14149	Jerry,he asked, turning to the seaman,"did ye hear onything o''young Jack this mornin''?"
14149	Jessie,I said,"is that Captain Gordon standing down there?"
14149	Just tell Macfarlane to send David Flett in, will you?
14149	Just think about it, will you? 14149 Kierfiold Haffling?
14149	Kinlay again?
14149	Kinlay,said Mr. Duke, touching the coil of rope,"did you at any time make use of these lines to climb down the Gaulton cliffs?"
14149	Let the old man hae a sight o''that thing ye''ve got round yer neck, will ye?
14149	Like enough-- excise paid, of course?
14149	Man, Davie,interrogated one of the crofters in a broad Orkney dialect,"where has thoo been wandering sae lang?
14149	Mr. Duke,exclaimed Bailie Thomson,"what in the world are you driving at?"
14149	Mr. Duke,said the dominie,"do you not think, in view of the importance of Kinlay''s evidence, that it is advisable to administer the oath?"
14149	Mr. Quendale never returned to Orkney?
14149	My father, is he--?
14149	My lad, these are fine hooks for a sea trout,he continued;"you''ll have gotten them from Kirkwall, no doubt?"
14149	Now do you recognize this as the gun you found?
14149	Now, Halcro, are you going to drive? 14149 Now, doctor, would you just let us hear what you have to say, please?"
14149	Now, further, do you recognize this gun?
14149	Now, tell us,the bailie continued,"when you entered that cave with your father and the crew of the St. Magnus, whom did you find there?"
14149	Now, then, Ericson,he cried out as he saw me;"d''ye not hear the bell?
14149	Oh, Halcro, what has happened?
14149	Oh, then, you know something of him?
14149	Please d''ye ken anything about Thora Kinlay?
14149	See what clearly?
14149	Tell me, Halcro, what was the quarrel between your father and mine? 14149 Tell me, what was the name of the ship?
14149	Tell me,she continued,"d''ye know where my mother''s grave is?"
14149	The Undine?
14149	The talisman? 14149 Then Kinlay kens o''the cave?"
14149	Then Thora has been found?
14149	Then you do not accuse Carver Kinlay himself of smuggling?
14149	Then you saw nothing of Ericson in the cave?
14149	Then your father is a fisherman, I suppose?
14149	There was no other wreckage? 14149 Tom, did you ever notice the name on this grave?
14149	Tom,I asked when he was beside us,"what do you say to Thora coming with us to the sealing?"
14149	Tut, did n''t we wait for you while you skinned your seal? 14149 Vy?
14149	Was it Halcro ye were seeking, Jessie?
14149	Was the lass speakin''wi''you, skipper?
14149	Weel, I was thinkin''of yersel for one, Halcro?
14149	Well, Ericson, tell me, how came you to be mixed up in this affair? 14149 Well, Marshall, d''you want anything sent ashore?"
14149	Well, Thora, lassie,he continued, turning round to Thora Kinlay,"and how are ye all up at Crua Breck?"
14149	Well, are you not satisfied?
14149	Well, lass?
14149	Well, man, that''s surely nothing to look so gloomy about, is it?
14149	Well, my lad,said he,"how d''ye think the Lydia looks for sea?"
14149	Well, what is it?
14149	Well, you see me at last, and am I altered?
14149	Well,said Tom,"what for did the sheep go into our field, eating up all the clover?
14149	What are you thinking of, boy? 14149 What brings ye out on a night like this, lad?
14149	What business is that of yours?
14149	What can be the meaning of that, Marshall?
14149	What care I for the lad? 14149 What cares the lass though her father brings up Jack Paterson?
14149	What d''ye mean?
14149	What d''you make of this, sir?
14149	What do you mean, Colin? 14149 What does he say the diamond is worth?"
14149	What does the lad want here?
14149	What does''t matter about the excise?
14149	What for should Hercus take all?
14149	What has gone wrong, Thora?
14149	What have you seen that you look so scared?
14149	What is it to us though the bailie gave her a dozen sixpences? 14149 What is it you want?"
14149	What is it?
14149	What is it?
14149	What kind of a bird is it?
14149	What like a man is the sheriff''s clerk, sir?
14149	What the mischief does this mean?
14149	What think you, then, Robbie?
14149	What was it the old woman was saying about this stone, though, Halcro?
14149	What would a lassie do at the sealing? 14149 What''ll we do with it?"
14149	What''s all the row, Peter?
14149	What''s all this about?
14149	What''s her name, Hal?
14149	What''s to hinder them finding out?
14149	What''s wrong with the lad?
14149	What-- why-- what d''ye mean? 14149 When did you last use it?"
14149	When do we sail, captain?
14149	When heard you of the lad harming body or beast? 14149 Where am I?"
14149	Where are you hurt, Colin?
14149	Where are your climbing ropes?
14149	Where did I get it?
14149	Where has the lad been?
14149	Where have ye been all night?
14149	Where have ye been, Halcro, so late as ye are? 14149 Where is Carver''s boat now?"
14149	Where is he? 14149 Where is your brother this morning, Thora?"
14149	Who are they, Halcro?
14149	Who in the world can it be, Halcro? 14149 Who would have thought it, that he could hae done such a thing?"
14149	Who''s that chap just gone out?
14149	Who''s there?
14149	Why did he not wait till the end o''the week?
14149	Why did ye not send out a boat yerself, then?
14149	Why should this witness be treated differently from the others?
14149	Why, Ann, what''s gone wrong wi''her?
14149	Why, Thora, were you not feared for yoursel?
14149	Why, d''ye not know I''m the pilot?
14149	Why, it''s silver?
14149	Why, man alive, ye can surely make a demand? 14149 Why, what''s come ower you, Peter?"
14149	Why, who on earth has been putting such notions into your head? 14149 Why,"I said,"Kinlay has made a very good bargain, has he not?"
14149	Why?
14149	Will ye buy any more o''these things?
14149	Will ye come in and take something to warm ye, Colin?
14149	Will ye give your share up, Hal?
14149	Will you come with me, then, Halcro?
14149	Wo n''t you, Halcro? 14149 Would you give me that much for it?"
14149	Would you speak o''fun and the Holy Scripture lying open before you?
14149	Ye didna hear what yon Dutch sailor said to the auld Jew, eh?
14149	Ye''ll be weighing anchor on Monday morning, captain, I suppose? 14149 You descended the cliff without the aid of ropes, I believe?"
14149	You do n''t mean you have got the lad?
14149	You have expected me, then?
14149	You know the old lady, then?
14149	You mean Scotland-- the mainland of Scotland?
14149	You were taken in the cave of Gaulton on Saturday, were you not?
14149	''What other Mainland is there?''"
14149	A quarrel, eh?
14149	And Thora, where now was she?
14149	And did I suppose he had suffered much in that dreadful ice prison in the far north?
14149	And did Pilot Ericson never hear from him?"
14149	And if ye canna prove what ye say, maybe ye''ll deny it?"
14149	And now I''m to go up to the schoolhouse and tell him-- what shall I tell him, Halcro?"
14149	And so you are coming back to Pomona to visit us again?"
14149	And then, d''ye not mind of hearing about the Spanish Armada ships that were wrecked on the Orkneys?
14149	And what could this new boat be intended for?
14149	And what ship was it that was wrecked?"
14149	And what way did ye kill it, d''ye say?
14149	And when did the thing happen?"
14149	And when do you sail?"
14149	And where now were all our birds?
14149	And where''s your dog?"
14149	And who have you at the head of the class the day?
14149	Any more of dose pretty tings?"
14149	Are ye not coming aboard, lad?"
14149	Are you coming from Kirkwall?"
14149	Ay, man, and how are all your bairns?
14149	Bailie Thomson then asked:"Have you ever seen the gun before, Paterson?"
14149	But did he not say it would protect ye from all harm?
14149	But how did you get there if you did not go round with Kinlay?"
14149	But surely it''s ower muckle trouble to put you to?"
14149	But tell me, Mr. Duke, what for d''ye say that young Ericson has anything to do wi''it?"
14149	But wad they let me in, think ye?
14149	But was it anything of importance you''re wanting the lad for?"
14149	But what can a helpless lassie do?
14149	But what have you?
14149	But what is the meaning of this lateness?
14149	But what is your opinion, Willie?
14149	But what kens she about a vessel''s masts, I wonder?"
14149	But what kind o''work were ye seekin''?"
14149	But where can a poor crofter body like me get the siller, think ye?"
14149	But where got you the ice?
14149	But who is it that''s murdered, bailie?"
14149	But who wants a slip of a girl at such work?
14149	But why do this on such a night of storm?
14149	But why do you not remember that you have a duty in making up the number of your class at school?"
14149	But ye''d better ask himsel'', had ye not?"
14149	But ye''ll come ben the house and smoke a pipe, maybe?"
14149	But you can not think that I have anything to do with the smuggling?"
14149	Can we not go by road?"
14149	Can you read them, dominie?
14149	Can you tell me that?"
14149	Can you throw any light on the matter yourself?"
14149	D''ye keep no watch aboard?"
14149	D''ye ken what he means to do wi''it?"
14149	D''ye mind, Hal, of the story of the wreck of yon Spanish ship on the Carrig- na- Spana?"
14149	Did Captain Ericson tell you about the wreck?"
14149	Did you not find that out?"
14149	Did you not know Thora lives with us now?"
14149	Did you not read that part?"
14149	Do ye agree to that?
14149	Do you not know that she is our pilot boat?"
14149	Do you think I''m afraid?"
14149	Do you think we shall have a fair wind, my lad?"
14149	Does anyone know?"
14149	Dr. Linklater then passed a piece of paper containing the shot to Bailie Duke, saying:"I suppose you need me no longer, bailie?"
14149	Drever?"
14149	Flett, it''s you, eh?"
14149	Flett?"
14149	Fox?"
14149	Gordon?"
14149	Gordon?"
14149	Has he not come to the school yet?"
14149	Has that anything to do with Kinlay?"
14149	Have ye heard anything of it yet?"
14149	Have you turned smuggler since then?"
14149	He commenced by saying to Tom:"You were taken in the North Gaulton Cave on Saturday, were you not?"
14149	He turned to Thora and said:"Did Carver always treat you kindly, Thora-- as a father?"
14149	How dare ye touch a feather o''my Peter''s wing?"
14149	How did it all come about?
14149	How had Thora allowed it to go out of her keeping?
14149	How long had the ice imprisoned this vessel in its cold, hard grip?
14149	How long since had that sentence been written?
14149	How many islands have we in Orkney?
14149	How muckle might ye be expectin''to get for it across the water-- a couple o''hundred?''
14149	How old did I think he was?
14149	However, what verse was it, Thora?"
14149	I asked,"did Davie come ashore?"
14149	I had learnt to hope that I might be a pilot some day; but where were my prospects now?
14149	I hope you find it no great hardship to be cooped up here, eh?
14149	I replied in true Orkney fashion by asking another question:"How far are you to take them?"
14149	I say, if you were your mother, how would you like your daughter Thora to lick the cream?"
14149	I stammered; then shyly asked:"Did you not get my last letter, Thora?"
14149	I turned to Kinlay:"Did you not pick up any of them?"
14149	If you had asked anyone in Stromness, What man in all Pomona could least be spared?
14149	Is it Thora again?"
14149	Is that your barque lying in the bay, sir, the Lydia?"
14149	It''s hardly so bad as your experience on the Falcon, I should think?"
14149	Jack Paterson''s girl, eh?
14149	Jock hailed the pilot:''What land is that?''
14149	Kinlay, there, for instance?"
14149	Leave him to me;"and addressing me he asked,"What is your name, my lad?"
14149	Magnus?"
14149	Magnus?"
14149	Maybe ye ken a lad yersel''that would come aboard us?"
14149	Mr. Gordon inquired;"two of your school friends, eh?"
14149	Mr. Thomson, questioning him, asked:"Do you know of any motive that the lad Ericson might have in committing this crime?
14149	Must it go to Edinburgh with the rest?"
14149	No?
14149	Not from Leith?"
14149	Not wi''a gun, surely?"
14149	Now wasna that kindness for ye, Halcro?"
14149	Now, the subjunctive mood?"
14149	Now, what d''ye say?
14149	Of course you refer to the law of treasure trove?"
14149	Oh, what do you mean?"
14149	Presently the old Jew edged nearer to us and said to me:"Did I hear you say you vant money, mine young friend?"
14149	Robbie Rosson here put his hand to his mouth in the form of a speaking trumpet, and whispered:"How many did you catch, Hal?"
14149	Robbie''s confidence gave me courage-- or was it the remembrance of the viking''s charm that made me bold?
14149	Shall we allow it?
14149	Surely it''s not the dominie?"
14149	That will be the Lydia, I''m thinking, and you will be Captain Gordon?
14149	That''s no sae bad, is it?"
14149	Then it was no relation of yours?"
14149	Then turning to Mr. Gordon, she continued:"Ye were never in Stromness afore, captain?
14149	Then, after a pause, she asked:"Have you ever been in that cave, Halcro?
14149	Think ye that no whisky comes into Stromness forbye what gangs to Oliver Gray''s?
14149	Think you we''re to have some more snow?"
14149	Thomson?"
14149	Travelling on a day like this?
14149	Was he tall, and great, and noble as she imagined him?
14149	Was it Murray?"
14149	Was it a bawbee?"
14149	Was there any enmity between him and Lothian?"
14149	Was there ever such a word?--Here, you, Halcro Ericson, finish the-- Now, where''s that lad?
14149	Was there not a cat in Stromness forbye mine?"
14149	Was thoo thinking o''starving us all?"
14149	Well, and the other one with the pretty hair, walking along here like a stately young princess, who is she?"
14149	What about your crew?"
14149	What business had you putting out to the Lydia on Sunday?"
14149	What cares he for the Holy Word?
14149	What could they be doing?
14149	What d''ye mean?"
14149	What d''ye say, Halcro?
14149	What did it mean?
14149	What did they mean?
14149	What do you call it?"
14149	What do you say, Ericson?"
14149	What does it matter?
14149	What dos''t matter if ye read it before?"
14149	What excuse have you this time?"
14149	What for did ye divide them, as though they were so many blackberries?
14149	What for did you cry out like that, then?"
14149	What for does he not get a cat?"
14149	What for should I not believe it?
14149	What for would I tak''spirits to the crofters when the poor folk canna more than pay for their bannocks?"
14149	What for would you give it to the dominie?"
14149	What harm can the poor cat do them, I''d like to know?
14149	What have I been doing?"
14149	What like a man is he?"
14149	What murder?"
14149	What on earth can ye be feared at?"
14149	What time is it dark in midsummer?"
14149	What time shall I come aboard?"
14149	What was he like?
14149	What was it that old Duke gave her this morning?
14149	What was the colour of his hair?
14149	What was the ship''s name, now?"
14149	What way did it come about?"
14149	What way is the wind, my lad?"
14149	What will the lad want wi''a gun?"
14149	What''s an Orkney lad, whatever, if he''s not to have a taste o''the dangers o''the sea?
14149	What''s that-- some sort of birds?"
14149	What''s the name o''his ship?"
14149	What''s wrong now?"
14149	What, Captain Gordon''s ship?
14149	When did you last see him, captain?"
14149	Where have you been, my lad, all this while past since Davie Flett fell owerboard?"
14149	Where is it?"
14149	Where''s the Sound o''Rapness?"
14149	Who could be at the door on a day like this?
14149	Who is my father, then?"
14149	Who was to have this?
14149	Who''s going with you?"
14149	Why do you not go to my uncle''s at Lyndardy?"
14149	Why have they put me in here?"
14149	Why should he not be asked to get me a berth on one of the outgoing ships?
14149	Will ye join us?"
14149	Will ye trust me to transact the business for ye?"
14149	Will you join us yourself?"
14149	Will you not take me?"
14149	Wot use I make of it?"
14149	Would they leave me to climb the cliff and go home, or would they take me round to Stromness?
14149	Would you mind letting me have it?"
14149	Ye have grand facilities for that, have ye not?"
14149	Yet what could it all mean?
14149	You believe that, Andrew?"
14149	You can tell how it happened?
14149	You know who committed the deed?"
14149	You were not offended, were you, by what I said?"
14149	You wo n''t object?"
14149	You''ll belong to one of the ships here, no doubt, sir?"
14149	You''ve gotten your wish; what more do you want?"
14149	and so you''re to be a blue jacket, eh?"
14149	and what business is that, pilot?"
14149	and what for would the stone be bound with the gold ring and buried with the other gear if it were not of some value beyond ordinary?"
14149	and"Saw ever onybody the likes o''that?"
14149	back already?"
14149	but that''s most serious; poor Crumpie!--and that''s the new cow, is it?
14149	come forward, will you?"
14149	cried Thora, again interrupting,"did you not hear something?"
14149	do you really mean that, captain?"
14149	do you say?
14149	exclaimed Jack Paterson;"and who may that be now, Colin?"
14149	have they not told you the particulars?"
14149	have you never seen Ericson with it?"
14149	hissed one of the boys near him;"what for need you tell?"
14149	interposed Mrs. Kinlay,"what does the lass ken about being a mother?
14149	mused Robbie, and then he added,"D''ye ken what I think, lads?"
14149	no other bodies washed ashore?"
14149	or is it the old horse?"
14149	or what has gone wrong?"
14149	said Carver;"no sae weel but ye might do better, eh?
14149	said Paterson;"d''ye mean the cave that Sandy found Carver Kinlay in, after the wreck o''the Undine?"
14149	said he;"who has done this thing?"
14149	said my father;"and d''ye ken ony thing about the sounds?
14149	said the mother, becoming impatient,"can you not begin at the fifteenth verse?
14149	ten guineas?
14149	the San Miguel?"
14149	the boy Halcro Ericson?"
14149	the mainland o''America?''
14149	then, you''ll be the schoolmaster?
14149	what can be keeping Hercus so long?"
14149	what is it, Hal?"
14149	what''s in the wind in that quarter?
14149	ye young scamp, would ye strike an auld man?"
42389	A brave chield?
42389	A pedantic, fantastic, visionary schemer,said Mertoun--"and whom saw you there?"
42389	A sea- wasp?
42389	Abate?
42389	All well,replied Mordaunt;"but I want to know how my father is?"
42389	All? 42389 And Montrose,"said the soft voice of the graceful Minna;"what became of Montrose, or how looked he?"
42389	And are you avised what death he died of?
42389	And as for the rent?
42389	And can you, then, forget the slights which he has cast upon Brenda, and on yourself, and on your father''s house?
42389	And did you tell them what you knew of her?
42389	And does he not do so, sir?
42389	And for what purpose?
42389	And for what reason, I pray?
42389	And for yourself?
42389	And hope ye,said Norna,"by this rudeness to compel me to answer to your interrogatories?"
42389	And how dare you sell over again,said Captain Cleveland, suddenly interfering,"what you already have sold to me?"
42389	And how now?
42389	And if he be not at home, why should you lay a cover for him, you doting fool?
42389	And is quack as well as witch?
42389	And is that all thou thinkest Norna can do?
42389	And is this all?
42389	And now, good Master Lieutenant, what have you got to say for yourself?
42389	And pray, Brenda,said Mertoun,"what was it that made you think less favourably of this young fellow, who seems to be so captivating?"
42389	And she loves thee, knowing thee, most noble Captain, to be a commander among those gentlemen of fortune, whom the vulgar call pirates?
42389	And so she was resolved to make a heavy pocket of it, I suppose,said the Captain;"but how did she dare to sell the things left in her charge?"
42389	And so that is your message, old Snapcholerick?
42389	And so you left him?
42389	And so you propose, young man,said Triptolemus, gravely,"to stay in my house,_ volens nolens_--that is, whether we will or no?"
42389	And so you would turn honest Captain Goffe a- grazing, would ye?
42389	And tell me rather, Fowd,said Claud Halcro,"how you came to be within hearing of me?
42389	And the demons of whom you spoke?
42389	And the evil spirit heard your summons?
42389	And they thrive, I hope?
42389	And wha are ye, that are sae bauld wi''your blessing and banning in other folk''s houses? 42389 And wha the deevil wad hae been the fule, then,"said the pedlar,"that I suld say sae?
42389	And what assures you that he did not?
42389	And what can this person know of my son?
42389	And what for comena ye in? 42389 And what was the consequence?"
42389	And what was the use of your seamanship, then,said Margery,"that you couldna keep off the Sumburgh- head?
42389	And what would tough old Black Beard have said,answered his companion,"if they had expected to keep them to themselves?
42389	And what,answered the Udaller,"did she say, in the way of reply?"
42389	And where will your honesty take up its abode, if it please you?
42389	And wherefore should Heaven forbid?
42389	And wherefore should not there be a coal- heugh found out?
42389	And wherefore should you say so now?
42389	And wherefore thither?
42389	And which way lies this cabin of yours, Laurie?
42389	And who are you, friend, and what want you?
42389	And who dares to say I have?
42389	And who is your intelligencer?
42389	And who the devil,said the poet, aiming at something smart,"would wish to need a pair of stilts, if he can manage to walk with a single one?"
42389	And why not to- day, Minna,said Mordaunt, laughing,"any more than to- morrow?"
42389	And why not under my orders, brother?
42389	And why not, young man?
42389	And why should I not repeat,said Minna, disengaging herself gently from her sister''s grasp,"a sentiment in which I glory?
42389	And why should I,said Cleveland,"if I will not?"
42389	And why should they, poor bodies,said Claud Halcro,"as long as there are good fiddlers to play to them?"
42389	And why so, I pray you?
42389	And why suld I not?
42389	And why, Eric Scambester,said Halcro, hastily and angrily,"should you wish ill to that poor young man, that is worth fifty of the other?"
42389	And why, I pray you?
42389	And why, mother,said Mordaunt,"do you not tell to Magnus what you have told to me?"
42389	And ye said there were nae caterans or sorners here?
42389	And you go to seek the renewal of it?
42389	And you were at Burgh- Westra, as I think?
42389	And, perhaps, at that time, danced oftener with Brenda than with her sister?
42389	And, pray, what wars knew your valour?
42389	Are any Indiamen come north about?
42389	Are you mad?
42389	Ay, ay, Bryce,said the Udaller,"you must have had good bargains if you sell cheap; but what ship was it?"
42389	Ay, but who is to command the ship, then?
42389	Brenda?
42389	But how is it-- how can it be?
42389	But is it a Christian deed of him to come in at the window, then?
42389	But is not Brenda equally near, equally dear to you?
42389	But our father?
42389	But the infant, my father,said Brenda, still insisting on the particulars of this extraordinary story,"what became of it?"
42389	But the news from Orkney, Bryce, instead of croaking about a capful of wind?
42389	But there must have been some one in the boat?
42389	But this must be a mettled wench!--why did you not bring her aboard? 42389 But wha will tell him a word about it, hinnie?"
42389	But what ails you at it, sir?
42389	But what is all this to the Captain''s clothes, my dear friend?
42389	But what is it, after all,said the Udaller,"that has befallen you?--what is it that you complain of?"
42389	But what is that to my son?
42389	But what will Magnus Troil say to my own demerits, fair Minna?
42389	But where is Mordaunt Mertoun all this while?
42389	But who are those on the road before us?
42389	But who told you all this?
42389	But you will stop for our dinner to- day? 42389 But you, Minna!--Should this wild scheme succeed,"said Cleveland,"what is to become of you?"
42389	By Vaughan?
42389	By what warrant or authority do you stop us on the high seas?
42389	By--,said the Boatswain, with a sounding oath,"we''ll have a mutiny, and not allow him to go ashore,--eh, Derrick?"
42389	Can it be possible she really loves this stranger?
42389	Come hither; what do you take yon large square- rigged vessel for, that you see doubling the headland on the east, and opening the Bay of Stromness?
42389	Did he?
42389	Did they mention my name, then?
42389	Did you hear the captain''s name?
42389	Did you not approach and address them?
42389	Do they want to go bump on shore, then?
42389	Do you return in that direction?
42389	Have you indeed saved him-- saved him from the murderous crew?
42389	Have you seen my father?
42389	Have you, then, witnessed those wonders that are beyond the visible world?
42389	He was a Briton, at least, your unfortunate father?
42389	Hear reason, sir?
42389	Hold your jaw, Dick,said Bunce;"pray, who the devil cares, do you think, whether you are shot or hanged?"
42389	How are folks to buy and sell, if the weights are changed on them?
42389	How is it possible for me to be your enemy?
42389	How mean you, young man?
42389	How mean you?
42389	How now,he said,"Swertha, what make you so far from home?"
42389	How,said Norna,"dare you use such bold language in the house of one from whom all men, from whom you yourself, come to solicit counsel and aid?
42389	How? 42389 I can forgive them all,"said Minna;--"can you not say so much, who have in truth received no offence?"
42389	I hope, sir,replied Mordaunt,"I have not been found deficient?"
42389	I say, Mr. Yellowley,said sister Baby, coming into the middle of the room,"what for are ye crying on me, and me in the midst of my housewifeskep?"
42389	I, sir?
42389	In mad keeping?
42389	In my breast?
42389	In troth is it, hinny; and how like you that? 42389 Is he dead?"
42389	Is it sunrise,said he,"already?"
42389	Is that all?
42389	Is the appointed place the Standing Stones, and the time daybreak?
42389	Is there one who dwells in these islands, who is so wretchedly blind as not to be sensible of their deplorable defects? 42389 Is this the courage,"she said,"of her, that disbelieves whatever the history of our fathers tells us of supernatural prodigy?
42389	It matters not to my present purpose,replied Mertoun;"I have to ask you what tidings you know of my son Mordaunt Mertoun?"
42389	It''s news,replied the pedlar,"that are worth twenty kings, and kingdoms to boot of them; for what good did the evolutions ever do us?
42389	Leave built walls,he said,"and in such a tempest as this?
42389	Magnus,she said,"we part by necessity, but, I trust, not in anger?"
42389	May I ask the reason of your caution, sir?
42389	May it not be enough to say,replied Brenda, looking downward,"that it is my father''s pleasure?"
42389	My certie, open doors, and dogs come in-- and wha opened the door to him?
42389	My father unwell?
42389	Nay, but how is this?
42389	No ships of war, or sloops?
42389	No, no,he added, with a smile,"I have ballast enough to trim the vessel again; and now, will you take the piece?"
42389	No, no-- damn it, no,replied Halcro;"no such thing-- you put me out in my story-- where was I?"
42389	No, none,said Brenda;"if I had any, do you think I would urge you thus?
42389	Nonsense,replied Halcro;"how could I see any one, when light and distance only enabled me to know that it was a boat, and not a grampus?"
42389	Now, Heaven guide us,said the Udaller,"what is the matter with the man?
42389	Now, how could I steal them, when they are mine by fair and lawful purchase?
42389	On my affairs?
42389	Or for love either?
42389	Or to- morrow''s tide, at farthest?
42389	Ou dear, Captain,said the conscientious pedlar,"what wad ye hae had twa poor folk to do?
42389	Rent?
42389	Returned!--then she is here? 42389 Saw whom?--follow whom?"
42389	Should you return, the leader of a gallant fleet, who can tell what may befall?
42389	So much the better,replied Cleveland.--"Where do their Worships meet?"
42389	So this is all the welcome I have of you for old acquaintance''sake?
42389	Still,said the Fowd,"this is no answer to my question-- how the foul fiend I come to find you at moorings here?"
42389	Surely, sir,replied Mordaunt,"such distaste to life is not the necessary consequence of advanced age?"
42389	Tell me then, at least, if I guess aright,said Mordaunt,"when I name this Cleveland for one of those who have slandered me?"
42389	That I supplied?
42389	That is to say, you intend to rob us?
42389	That other gentleman is my mate, and commands in my absence,said Cleveland;--"but what is that to the purpose?
42389	The mair gowk you,said Baby;"can ye not make your brose on the Sunday, and sup them cauld on the Monday, since ye''re sae dainty?
42389	The most cruel wounds,replied Minna,"are those which make no outward show-- Are you sure you see it at all?"
42389	The rent?
42389	The song?
42389	The wood?
42389	Then the dark hour has passed, Swertha?
42389	There is an end of your mead, then,replied Cleveland;"but what is your chance of cider?--How does the orchard thrive?"
42389	There is not another Revolution, is there?
42389	They?
42389	Thy daughter''s health?
42389	To what purpose?
42389	Um,replied his father;"you have been gravely brought up, and this Minna, I suppose, pleases you most?"
42389	Umph-- seven fish exactly? 42389 Very true,"replied Mordaunt;"but have you heard of no strange vessels on the coast?"
42389	Waits Pacolet without with the horses?
42389	Want of care, I suppose?
42389	Was the point of your double- edged knife, directed to the bosom of an unarmed man, intended to carve out that more honourable way?
42389	We will not,said Brenda;"and you, on your part, will not avail yourself of this unhappy man''s venturing hither, to harm or to seize him?"
42389	Well, then, why do you not sail off without me?
42389	Well, well,answered Cleveland,"I admit you have been always a friendly fellow-- and what then?"
42389	Well, well-- and what then?
42389	Well; but what if I bring money for the stores sent on board?
42389	Were the officers often ashore? 42389 Were there no news at Burgh- Westra?--Were the family all well?"
42389	Wha kens how she travels?
42389	Whae is that,she demanded,"at sic an hour of the night?"
42389	What are ye whittie- whattieing about, ye gowk?
42389	What d''ye think of it, Jack Bunce?
42389	What freak can this be, dearest Brenda?
42389	What is this of it, sister?
42389	What like was she?
42389	What must be amended, sordid slave?
42389	What new tramper is this?
42389	What sort of play- stuff is all this?
42389	What''s your foolish will?
42389	What, with glorious John?--true-- ay-- where was I? 42389 What-- in one of these cockleshells, and a cracked cockleshell, to boot?
42389	When didst thou wash that throat of thine, that is about the width of the Pentland Frith, with a cup of brandy? 42389 Where can she have been wandering?"
42389	Where is this dying man, whom you have so wisely ventured your own neck to relieve?
42389	Whereabouts was I?
42389	Which think you the handsomest?
42389	Who didst thou say was prisoner?
42389	Who speaks now, when they should hold their tongue?
42389	Who speaks there?
42389	Who was it, then, sir?
42389	Who, I?
42389	Who, I?
42389	Why does the game stand still, my masters? 42389 Why should I not, sir?"
42389	Why should I prevent him?
42389	Why should I, mother? 42389 Why, d----n my buttons,"said Derrick,"do we not weigh this tide?"
42389	Why, how could I help it?
42389	Why, others have been admitted but lately to favour, and why should not I?
42389	Why, then I wo n''t, for one,said Fletcher;"but what are we to do, since howsomdever"----"Stopper your jaw, Dick, will you?"
42389	Why, then, what d''ye say to yourself, or to me, Boatswain?
42389	Why, what ails you at old Goffe?
42389	Why, what can I do for you, Master Altamont?
42389	Why, what does the girl mean, in the name of the Martyr?
42389	Why, what the foul fiend is the matter with thee?
42389	Will you be this honest gentleman''s cup- bearer-- his Ganymede, friend Yellowley, or shall I?
42389	Will you go by sea or land?
42389	Will you not add a few lines to the coxcombs?
42389	Will you?
42389	Wretched woman,he said,"if indeed thou hast leagued thyself with the Powers of Evil, why should you not seek even yet for repentance?
42389	Ye dull and hard- hearted generation, as deaf as the adder to the voice of the charmer,answered Norna, addressing them,"why come ye to me?
42389	Ye ken as little as ane of your ain bits o''nowt, man,retorted sister Baby;"if ye ken na him, do ye ken Tronda Dronsdaughter?"
42389	You believe not in them, then?
42389	You call yourself Frederick Altamont?
42389	You had come north about then, from the West Indies?
42389	You have cheated me into listening to a tale of nothing,said Minna;"but how long did you continue on the island?"
42389	You mean the stranger, Cleveland?
42389	You shall know all about them presently,answered Magnus;"but what messmates have you got in the hut with you?
42389	You were absent yesterday, Mordaunt?
42389	Your father? 42389 Your ship, sir?"
42389	_ Your_ property, young man?
42389	--''Is he amphibious?''
42389	--But come, you will aboard with us to- day, at any rate?"
42389	--exclaimed the Jagger, with an exaltation of voice intended to indicate the utmost extremity of surprise,--"What do I ken of doubloons?
42389	Again, why did he not send for the chest he had deposited at Jarlshof?
42389	Allow me to enquire if you are yourself as indifferent to the opinion of your female friends, as it seems you would have me to be?"
42389	And as for serving under Goffe, I hope it is no new thing for gentlemen of fortune who are going on the account, to change a Captain now and then?
42389	And do you not know this is the only house within I wot not how many miles?
42389	And how came you here like two fair swans, making day out of twilight, and turning all you step upon to silver?"
42389	And now speak, what wouldst thou have of me?"
42389	And so you came away as wise as you went, and swamped your boat at the mouth of the voe?"
42389	And then to talk to us of seamen being a little frolicsome ashore, why, when are they otherwise?
42389	And what might his lordship have done to deserve such promotion?"
42389	And what right have I to wish otherwise?
42389	Are you afraid because my kinswoman is to play our voluspa?
42389	Besides, what chance is there that I can again see Minna?
42389	Brenda was the first who brought matters to a point, by asking whither they were to go, and how they were to spend the night?
42389	But have you seen Jarlshof?"
42389	But here is the matter,--what can we do but go on as we have done, unless we have a direct purpose of adorning the yard- arm?"
42389	But perhaps you fear to name the ancient Father of the Slain too, the Severe, the Terrible?"
42389	But stop-- where was I?
42389	But tell me, instead, what said Norna to you about your errand?"
42389	But what avails grieving?--And I wish you would tell me, instead, what is all the din that these good folks are making about pirates?
42389	But what manners are to be expected in a country where folk call a pleugh- sock a markal?"
42389	But when Halcro renewed his formidable question,"Whereabouts was I?"
42389	But, from the lips of whom was he to receive it?
42389	But, harkye, may she not be a little touched, as well as yourself?--and is it not sympathy that has done it?
42389	Captain Cleveland,"he continued,"know you any thing that has happened to put these two juvenile Graces out of tune?"
42389	Cleveland was the first who spoke, as the parties stood thus looking upon each other.--"How is this, gentlemen burghers?"
42389	Darest_ thou_ expect it?
42389	Did I ever tell you the sang, Maister Mordaunt, how Olaf Tryguarson garr''d hide five gold crowns in the same grave with him?"
42389	Did I not hang around thy neck, in pledge of thy safety, that chain of gold, which an Elfin King gave to the founder of our race?
42389	Do n''t you think he was like his honour, Tom?"
42389	Do not, therefore, waste words in quoting terrors for which I have no feeling, but tell me at once, wherefore you would have me depart?"
42389	Do you mean a wreck, Master Factor?"
42389	Do you not hear the rain?
42389	Do you not hear the thunder?
42389	Do you not see the lightning?
42389	Do you remember any thing of this?"
42389	Does she get rich by selling favourable winds to those who are port- bound?
42389	Eric was the discoverer of Greenland, and father of Leif the Lucky, who found Vinland( New England, or Nova Scotia?)
42389	Every thing in the universe is bought and sold, and why not wind, if the merchant can find purchasers?
42389	Had it been really the work of that powerful Trolld, to whom the poetry of the Scalds referred it?
42389	Have I not heard you say, the poet partakes the immortality of his song?
42389	Have you not made enough of us by cheap buying and dear selling, that you have seized on my trunk and wearing apparel?"
42389	He lives in that handsome, modern- looking building, I suppose, that I see a quarter of a mile off?"
42389	Hear me, Mordaunt, youth of a foreign land, but of a friendly heart-- Dost thou quit this doomed mansion with those who now prepare to leave it?"
42389	Heard ye ever of ony of the gentle house of Clinkscale that gave meat for siller?"
42389	How could I mistake Mordaunt for my son, their ages being so different?"
42389	How could she travel three leagues and better in so short a time?"
42389	How dost thou do, Nick, or Pacolet, if you like that better?
42389	How is it possible that I should cease to feel a pang, which is only transferred from my bosom to thine?"
42389	How should I know aught of him?
42389	I am an old man, and can but wish that all were well over.--But how now, my pretty Minna?
42389	I ask you again, which of Magnus Troil''s daughters you think most handsome?"
42389	I love to give the poor young fellow a little countenance now and then-- don''t I, Dick, you d----d stupid ass?"
42389	I trow he knew best where to go or send, and I hope you believe in your Bible, Baby?"
42389	I will try him further.--Canst thou aught of husbandry, young gentleman?"
42389	I would like to know if his new plough will bear against a Zetland rock?"
42389	I-- I seek to the good Physician!--Would you have the fiend claim his prey openly before God and man?"
42389	If she marry, what''s her lot?"
42389	In the name of Heaven, Brenda, in what have I offended you?
42389	Is it fitting that this should be said of us, the descendants of a Norwegian Jarl, and the daughters of the first Udaller in Zetland?
42389	Is there a man alive,"said Bunce,"that knows better than I do the best and stoutest fellow ever stepped betwixt stem and stern?
42389	Is there no magistrate, or justice of the peace, in this wild country, that would lend a hand to help one when he is among the breakers?"
42389	It is a farewell from Captain Cleveland-- you can not refuse to give it her?"
42389	It may be therefore asked, What did this stranger bring into society to compensate the displeasure given by his austere and abstemious habits?
42389	It tills our land, and what would ye more?"
42389	Maiden, ere we farther go, Dost thou note me, ay or no?"
42389	Mayor?"
42389	Minna, what ails your foot-- your ankle?"
42389	Now I see you are impatient to hear out what I was saying-- Stop, whereabouts was I?"
42389	Now tell me, why should I be refused the benefit of this gracious proclamation?
42389	Now, suppose that I run round this island of yours, and get into the roadstead at Stromness?
42389	One Dennis sat near him, who"----"Nay, but John Dryden-- what like was he?"
42389	Only I will ferret you out of this burrow of old stones, and carry you into sunshine and fair air.--Where shall we go?"
42389	Or the idle work of some wandering mechanic, whom chance, and whim, and leisure, had thrust upon such an undertaking?
42389	Or was it the abode of penance, chosen by some devoted anchorite of later days?
42389	Or, shall Hialtland''s minstrel own One note to rival glorious John?"
42389	Saw ye aught of Norna of the Fitful- head?
42389	Shall she marry, ay or not?
42389	Surely he could not desert her in the extremity of misery to which he had reduced her?"
42389	Tell me but if I have caught aright your meaning-- Is Mordaunt Mertoun safe and recovered?"
42389	Tell me but this-- is there poetry in it?"
42389	Tell me where you had shelter from the storm yesterday?"
42389	The dame journeys far from home-- how fares she?
42389	The storm had ceased its wintry roar, Hoarse dash the billows of the sea; But who on Thule''s desert shore, Cries, Have I burnt my harp for thee?
42389	Then, addressing the Factor, he enquired--"Saw ye nought how this dwarf of yours parted company?"
42389	There was a dead pause, until Minna said, in a firm but melancholy tone,"Unhappy man, why didst thou seek this aggravation of our woe?
42389	They are baith fishing- stations, I trow?"
42389	This man,--do not frown, I will say no slander of him,--but is he not, even in your own partial judgment, stern and overbearing?
42389	Thou wilt not wake?
42389	Triptolemus Yellowley, are we to be honoured with your company?"
42389	Was it you that asked it, my prince of the cliff and of the scaur?
42389	We''ll keep our customs-- what is law itself, But old establish''d custom?
42389	Well,--and I warrant you got no answer from Norna?"
42389	What are ye now but empty names, Powerful Trolld, sagacious Haims, That, lightly spoken, lightly heard, Float on the air like thistle''s beard?''
42389	What are your fears to me, you foolish old hag?"
42389	What day is this wi''you?"
42389	What is to ail you to take a trip after some of this stuff?"
42389	What say you to shooting the man at the wheel, just as we run aboard of a Spaniard?
42389	What signifies to them whether the trash went to Bryce Snailsfoot, or to the bottom, or to the devil?
42389	What title has the air to be exempted from the universal course of traffic?
42389	When they had ceased their intercourse, Norna turned to Magnus Troil with much haughtiness, and said,"How, my kinsman?
42389	When was it we deserted you, either in council or in fight, that you should be afraid of our flinching now?
42389	Who would regard the length of a voyage that was certain to terminate in happiness?"
42389	Who would stoop to gather the lowly violet, that might have the rose for stretching out his hand?"
42389	Whose are they?
42389	Why should not Norna pursue her traffic?"
42389	Why, man, if they kept one humour, how the devil could we make so many songs on them as we do?
42389	Will you give me a letter to him, just by way of commission?"
42389	Will you not take your glass?"
42389	Wot ye not, if you bring him to life again, he will be sure to do you some capital injury?
42389	Ye have not heard of copper, I warrant, nor of iron- stone, in these islands, neither?"
42389	You can shoot, I suppose?"
42389	You know them, and you love them?"
42389	You remember how I touch off Alexander?"
42389	You say he is accomplished and pleasant;--what else would you desire in a lover for Minna?"
42389	Your father loves me, Minna; who knows whether long attention, anxious care, might not bring him to receive me into his family?
42389	[ 28]"That is the Highlandman''s language,"said the Udaller--"didst thou learn that, Nicholas, when you lost your own?"
42389	[ Illustration]"Stop, gentlemen,"said Cleveland, who had hitherto been silent;"I hope you will not choose me Captain without my own consent?"
42389	_ O fortunati nimium!_""And what good is Saint Rinian to do ye, Tolimus?"
42389	and can you think of it at this moment?"
42389	and how the devil am I to get the crew to obey_ me_?
42389	and how were they received by the people of Kirkwall?"
42389	and then poor Brenda''s doleful voice, and melancholy question, of''What is to be done, and where are we to sleep?''
42389	and you heard it at North Ronaldshaw?"
42389	answered Norna;"and what is the maiden''s ailment?"
42389	echoed Cleveland, his eyes sparkling with surprise--"Claud Halcro?--why, he went ashore at Inganess with Minna and her sister-- Where are they?"
42389	echoed Triptolemus--"how should I but ken her, when I pay her twal pennies Scots by the day, for working in the house here?
42389	exclaimed Mertoun, with a voice of thunder--"_Who_, woman, didst thou say should expiate his crimes with his life?"
42389	exclaimed Norna--"is he not?--tell me quickly-- is he not?"
42389	for God''s sake, let me rise and call Euphane Fea.--What ails you?
42389	has Norna been here again?"
42389	muttered Cleveland between his teeth; and then added,"I suppose they are often ashore, to show all their bravery to the lasses of Kirkwall?"
42389	my kinswoman,"said the Udaller, comprehending the signal,"will be angry?
42389	or has the course thou hast kept deserved it?"
42389	or who had the impudence to sell them?"
42389	or why are we on these unusual terms?"
42389	or, would it be modest or maidenly to submit to it unresented, were we the meanest lasses that ever lifted a milk- pail?"
42389	repeated Brenda;"and her child-- was it never recovered?"
42389	repeated Halcro;"who ever heard of a challenge in our quiet islands?
42389	repeated Minna,"do you then know that Cleveland, whom you have twice named?"
42389	repeated Mordaunt--"Dance on St. John''s Even?--Were you desired to bid me to it, Bryce?"
42389	replied the Udaller;"on what affairs of mine?"
42389	replied the more accurate agriculturist,"who ever heard of barley in these parts?
42389	retorted the satirical Mr. Bunce,"you are come from the happy climate where gin is a groat a- bottle, and where there is daylight for ever?"
42389	rushing on danger, rather for its own sake, than for any other object?
42389	said Brenda,"the lover of poor Norna, doubtless!--what sort of man was he, father?"
42389	said Brenda;"and why do they halt there so jealously?"
42389	said Brenda;"how can that be possible?"
42389	said Bunce--"Now, pray, what have I said but what has been done a thousand times by gentlemen of fortune like ourselves?"
42389	said Bunce;"why, what means that?"
42389	said Captain Cleveland,"and I suppose told it as a good piece of news when you came hither?"
42389	said Cleveland, grasping the cane which he carried,"do you think to bamboozle me with your impudence?
42389	said Cleveland;"but is he at Stromness?
42389	said Cleveland;"from whom did you dare to buy my clothes?
42389	said Cleveland;"has he got no name?"
42389	said Fletcher, who had also come on board with the gang--"when were we else than civil to them?
42389	said Halcro, hastily--"too late-- and you have practised together all your lives?
42389	said Halcro;"King James has not come back, as blithe as King Charlie did, has he?"
42389	said Magnus;"will you leave us for the new chamberlain''s new Scotch tacksman, who is to teach all us Zetland savages new ways?
42389	said Mertoun;"speak out, short and open-- whom do you speak of?"
42389	said Minna;"did you not become the monster of courage and cruelty whose character you assumed?"
42389	said Minna;"have you any reason to believe yourself of Norse descent?"
42389	said Mordaunt, his heart beating somewhat thick as he spoke--"A challenge, I suppose?"
42389	said Mordaunt, not particularly well satisfied--"Whom does Captain Cleveland dance with?"
42389	said Mordaunt, somewhat angrily,--"what know I of you?"
42389	said Mordaunt;"what right have you to will any thing about it?
42389	said Swertha;"he will be drunk as weel as mad, and wha is to guide him then, I wonder?"
42389	said Ulla;"or how comes this Cleveland to be identified with Vaughan?"
42389	said he;"you that have lived sae lang in Zetland, to risk the saving of a drowning man?
42389	said the Boatswain--"Why, what have we been slaving the whole company for, to get all these stores aboard?"
42389	said the Captain,"what of him?"
42389	said the Factor--"how the devil should I pilot them, that never touched rudder in my life?"
42389	said the Provost, who was a man of sense and spirit,--"how do we know that you are her Captain?"
42389	said the Udaller,"make fast the sheets to the thwart?
42389	said the seaman,"and dispose of my property?"
42389	said the stranger Norna, turning at once upon him with an emphasis that made him start--"_What_ must be amended?
42389	she said,"who but a mother would have watched over thee as I have watched?
42389	tell me, I say, where we shall find the_ nemorum murmur_, sister Baby, in these new seats of ours?"
42389	that ever flang at a fiddle- squeak, between this and Unst?
42389	that heart,"said Cleveland;"and what is it that I may do-- what is it that man can do, to win in it the interest which I desire?"
42389	the cormorant says not to the mallard, where is my brood?"
42389	was the unpleasant thought that instantly shot across Mordaunt''s mind;--"And if she does, what is my interest in the matter?"
42389	what?"
42389	where''s the wood, Baby, answer me that?"
42389	why should I let her go?"
42389	you are thinking of the old woman''s prophecy you spoke of?"
42389	you reckon yourself one of the honest folks, I warrant?"
