20260Are you much hurt, darling?
20260Do you feel better, dear Kate? 20260 Do you mind my asking,--are you sisters?"
20260Do you think we shall ever see her again?
20260Frances, what are you doing?
20260Is anything the matter?
20260Is it a station?
20260Nanny, dear,said Violet, turning to the old nurse;"do n''t you think my other cloak would make quite a nice soft cushion?
20260No, nothing,said poor Kate, not very truthfully-- and then to change the subject--"Where are your people?
20260Then what did you do for food and shelter all that time?
20260They are coming our way; oh, do you think she will get into our carriage?
20260What is it, Kate?
20260Will you?
20260Yes, dear,came from the next bed, in a low voice,"what is it?"
20260And Kate herself?
20260And was it stupid, do you think?
20260At the most she could only have been gone an hour, and surely she would be quickly found?
20260But tell me, what is your name, dear?
20260But was it all so still?
20260Do you care for flowers?"
20260How did you know I was here?"
20260Jane was so safe, so true, so dependable; and Kate, well, who could trust Kate, with her odd ways of going on?
20260Kate, does n''t it make you unutterably glad?"
20260No, here she comes, but with a very grave face-- much too grave-- and oh, where is Kate?
20260She only answered quietly:"Shall I tell you a true story?
20260That night, before she went to sleep, Frances said:"Kate, does what you spoke of still burn into you?"
20260The doctors moved away at last, and Kate turned a pair of wondering eyes upon Frances as she said:"What made you wish to lose your leg instead?"
20260What am I to call you?"
20260What can I do?"
20260What could keep Mother Agnes so long?
20260What on earth could this mean?
20260Where do you live?"
20260Who could resist a pillow- fight?
20260and would my doll help you to bear the pain?"
20260where is Kate?"
20379--But how would it be with you, dear reader, if you are unprepared, and should be taken out of the world?
2037913, 14, encourage us to ask with all boldness, for ourselves and others, both temporal and spiritual blessings?
20379About four hours after, we were with a sister at Bishopsteignton, and she said to me,"Do you want any money?"
20379And how did it end?
20379For in the time of temptation, I have been repeatedly led to say: Should I thus sin?
20379How did it turn out?
20379How then could I be fit to teach others?
20379I ought to have said to myself, how can an individual, so ignorant as you are, think about being a teacher to others?
20379I was then asked by the sister who bad been baptized,"But have you been baptized?"
20379Lord, when saw we Thee an hungered, and fed Thee?
20379One morning I was in so wretched a state, that I said in my heart, what have I now gained by becoming a Christian?
20379Shall I have enough myself the next month?
20379She then replied,"Have you ever read the Scriptures, and prayed with reference to this subject?"
20379What shall I drink?--and Wherewithal shall I be clothed?
20379What wilt Thou have me to do, gracious Lord?
20379When will God deliver me from this state?!
20379Whilst I was writing, however, the thought occurred to me, Suppose this lady should not be a believer?
20379Will she now suffer loss on account of it?
20379Will she regret not having indulged her fancy in that instance?
20379or thirsty, and gave Thee drink?
702Are all Ladies Mamas?
702Are you a Mama, then?
702Child, where is your mama?
702Do you hear this child? 702 Everybody has a mama-- never mind--""But where is your mama?"
702Little girl,said the lady,"what do you mean?"
702Or are you a Mama?
702Or are you a Mama?
702So that is it?
702Where is your mama?
702Why does she say: Mama?
702And Bessie Bell asked:"Are you a Mama or Only- Just- A- Lady?"
702And Bessie Bell wondered a great deal what that could mean: Mama?
702And Sister Helen Vincula said:"Now, will you stay right here on this stone bench till I come back for you?"
702And Sister Mary Felice said:"Bessie Bell, where are you hurt?"
702And the other grown- up person said:"And how comes that to be all that you know?"
702Bessie Bell said:"Sister Helen Vincula, did you call me?"
702Can you not go home with us?
702Is n''t it a grand chimney?
702Mama?
702Mama?
702My Mama?
702My Mama?
702My Mama?
702Never mind, Bessie Bell will find a mama--""Little girl,"said the lady,"why do you say, Bessie Bell--?"
702One day Sister Mary Felice said:"Sister Angela, did Sister Ignatius put too many caraway seeds in the cakes this time?"
702One of the pretty- grown up folks looked at one of the little tiny girls and said:"And what is her name?"
702She drew Bessie Bell closer to her, and she said:"Sister Helen Vincula, can you doubt?"
702Sister Mary Felice looked at Sister Theckla, and Sister Theckla looked at Sister Mary Felice-- and they both said:"Where did she learn that?"
702So she asked:"Are you a Lady, ma''am?"
702Then Sister Angela looked at Sister Theckla and said:"Where did the child learn that, do you suppose?"
702Then another little girl asked:"Sister Angela, what were they, then?"
702Then as the lady still stood by the playground Bessie Bell asked her:"Are you a Lady, ma''am?"
702Then, as the little girls were again eating their cakes, one little girl said:"Sister Angela, were they Sisters?"
702Where did they learn that?"
702Where is Bessie Bell''s mama?
702Will you try one?"
702Wo n''t it''most hold smoke?"
14475And may I go?
14475And what becomes of the rest?
14475And what should you do then?
14475And where does he want you to go and live?
14475Are you eighteen?
14475Are you going to have two teachers?
14475Are you much hurt?
14475Are you not well, Albert?
14475Are you?
14475But where are_ you_ going to study?
14475But you_ must_ be punished,said Mary Bell, very positively,"and- what shall your punishment be?"
14475Could not I come home every night?
14475Could not we climb in at one of the windows?
14475Did I make you do that?
14475Did he?
14475Did he?
14475Did not I tell you about it? 14475 Did you catch any fishes?"
14475Did you know that we were going to have a new road?
14475Do you know how to draw?
14475Do you mean all night, too?
14475Do you think that I could possibly learn now?
14475Do you think that you shall move to the new house?
14475Does he?
14475Have you begun to think at all what you shall do?
14475Have you got an oven?
14475Have you?
14475How much?
14475Is not he foolish?
14475Is not there any thing?
14475Look,said he,"is not that beautiful?
14475Malleville,said he,"are you awake?"
14475No,said Mrs. Bell,"what is it?"
14475Now how can we get in?
14475Shall I begin now?
14475Shall you take the money?
14475Should you have much over?
14475The girl''s?
14475Then why are you glad to get the offer?
14475Then why did not you come?
14475To me?
14475Was it a pretty bird''s- nest?
14475Well, mother,said Mary Bell,"could not you give her a little money, if she is poor?
14475What are you afraid of?
14475What are you glad for?
14475What are you going to have for breakfast?
14475What could we have to_ do_ this fall and winter?
14475What did they do?
14475What did you want me for?
14475What do you mean, Albert,said Mary Bell,"about Mary Erskine''s coming to live here?
14475What do you think you shall do?
14475What is it?
14475What shall we do?
14475What should you like?
14475What was the girl''s name?
14475When are you going to invite us?
14475Where has he gone?
14475Where is the horse?
14475Where?
14475Who shall be the teacher?
14475Who shall they be?
14475Why, have not I guessed right yet?
14475Why, how much do you think the farm and stock will sell for?
14475Why?
14475Yes,said Malleville,"are you?"
14475Your raspberry party?
14475_ Is_ it foolish for me to learn to climb?
14475After a short pause spent in reflections like these, Mrs. Bell resumed the conversation by saying,"Well, Mary,--and what do you think of the plan?"
14475After musing upon this melancholy prospect a moment she asked,"Should not I have_ any_ of the property, if the will proves not to be good?"
14475And what shall your punishment be?"
14475Are you ready for me to come and nail the box?"
14475Did you ever see a better burn?"
14475Do n''t you think I can, Mary?"
14475Here there was a pause of a few minutes, when Albert said again,"Have you any objection to my walking along with you here a little way, Mary?"
14475If I will do it, and build a small house of one room there, will you come and be my wife?
14475Mary Bell paused and looked upon the butterflies a moment, and then said,"And now how shall I get by?
14475She then turned away, saying to herself,"If Albert is going to be sick and to die, what_ will_ become of me?"
14475Should not you like to go?"
14475What makes you think it was light?"
14475What should you do with the money, if you borrowed it?"
14475Where is it?"
14475Who should have it, if not she?"
14475Why not?"
14475repeated Phonny,"what is that?''
14475said she, when she got to the door of the house,"did n''t you hear me calling for you?"
14475what is the matter, mother?"
14475what shall I do?"
14475what''s his name?"
26522And the eunuch said, See, here is water: what doth hinder me to be baptized? 26522 He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"
26522How do you live?
26522Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 26522 Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
26522Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?
26522The Lord Jesus,she said,"has given His last drop of blood for me, and should I not give Him this hundred pounds?"
26522What do you gain by it?
26522Who pays you for this?
26522Why do you hold meetings?
26522Will not the best way of replying to this question be to let him speak for himself? 26522 You?
26522( 2)_ How do such come into office?__ Ans._ By the appointment of the Holy Ghost, Acts xx.
26522( 4)_ Is it incumbent upon the saints to acknowledge such and to submit to them in the Lord?__ Ans._ Yes.
2652213, 14, encourage us to ask with all boldness, for ourselves and others, both temporal and spiritual blessings?
26522And if this were God''s work, was He not bound to care for His own work?
26522And was not all this deliberately planned and carried on for His own glory?
26522And what is love?
26522And what is_ cross_-bearing?
26522And why was it not burnt?
26522And would He suffer His own glory to be dimmed?
26522At last we reach the_ turning- point_ in the psalm: he asks as he reviews former experiences, WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE?
26522But here is the Spirit''s own inspired utterance, and, if the praying be moulded on the model of His teaching, how can we go astray?
26522Can the rod lift itself, or the saw move itself, or the hammer deal its own blow, or the sword make its own thrust?
26522Could God ever dishonour such trust?
26522Could not something be done to meet the temporal and spiritual wants of this class of very poor children?
26522Dear reader, do you know the living God?
26522Did not that ornament in the Lord''s sight appear as of great price?
26522For example, what have we found to be the initial step and stage in George Muller''s spiritual history?
26522For in the time of temptation, I have been repeatedly led to say: Should I thus sin?
26522He expected them, for if there were no crises and critical emergencies how could there be critical deliverances?
26522He had often sought God and been heard and helped, and why not now?
26522How can I get over the plain word of the Lord, which is to the contrary, even if the first four points could be satisfactorily settled?
26522How can such use of God''s word fail to help and strengthen spiritual life?
26522How did Christ come to the cross?
26522IS THE CHANGE IN GOD OR IN ME?
26522Is He, in Jesus, your Father?
26522Is it not rather His will that my means should be spent in another way?
26522Is it possible that there are any modern disciples who"reject the commandment of God that they may keep their own tradition"?
26522Is it really a good cause in which I am called upon to become surety?
26522Meanwhile how could three hundred children, some of them very young and tender, be kept warm?
26522That many enemies would laugh, were the Lord to withhold supplies, and say, did we not foretell that this enthusiasm would come to nothing?
26522The evening that he arrived he said, What opportunity is there here for services for the Lord?
26522These were_ His_ orphans, for had He not declared Himself the Father of the fatherless?
26522Those suggestive words of Christ to Nathanael have often prompted like larger expectations:"Believest thou?
26522Was it God''s wings that folded over him, after all his vain flight away from the true nest where the divine Eagle flutters over His young?
26522Was it not this very passage in this inspired book that suggested, perhaps, the name of this journal:_"The Lord''s dealings with George Muller"_?
26522Was not the work, with its vast correspondence and responsibility, already sufficiently great?
26522What is the conclusion, the practical lesson?
26522What medium or channel of approach could so insure in the praying soul both an acceptable frame and language taught of the Holy Spirit?
26522What obliges the person, who wishes me to become surety for him, to need a surety?
26522When, one day, over four pounds came in, the thought occurred to Mr. Muller,"Why not lay aside three pounds against the coming need?"
26522Who can read the story of that score of years and yet talk of piety as the product of evolution?
26522Why should it be so often said, and sometimes with a measure of ground, or even much ground:"Believers are bad servants, bad tradesmen, bad masters"?
26522Would God''s goodness and mercy fail?
26522Would he be going''beyond his measure,''spiritually, or naturally?
26522Yet for man''s sake what did he do?
221481, The first thing which the believer, who is in such difficulties, has to ask himself is, Am I in a calling in which I can abide with God?
2214830, 31, it is written:"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
22148And do you really lean upon me, the living God, in your service here?
22148And how should our Father do otherwise?
22148And since He has not, is it not a plain indication that, for the present, I should remain a journeyman,( or shopman, or clerk, as the case may be)?"
22148And what was it that gave me peace?
22148And who at present belonged to our number?
22148And why?
22148Are the things of God, the honour of His name, the welfare of His Church, the conversion of sinners, and the profit of your own soul, your chief aim?
22148But if we do not believe that God will help us, could we be at peace?
22148But is this indeed the spirit in which the children of God generally are engaged in their calling?
22148But perhaps it may be stated: Why do you not take the bread on credit?
22148But what did the Lord do?
22148But what is the right way of looking at the matter?
22148But what was the result?
22148By what passages, then, for instance, may I make out that I am a child of God, or born again?
22148Dear Reader, does your soul long to be rich towards God, to lay up treasures in heaven?
22148Dear reader, do you know the living God?
22148Do I depend upon Him alone for the salvation of my soul?
22148Do I expect forgiveness for my sins on account of living a better life in future?
22148Do I take Him to be the one whom God declares Him to be, i. e. His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased?
22148Do I trust in my own exertions for salvation?
22148Do you make it your primary business, your first great concern to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness?
22148Have I to wait till I feel that they are forgiven, before I may take comfort concerning this matter?
22148How are the means to come?
22148How are we justified, or constituted just ones, before God?
22148How can I get over the plain word of the Lord, which is to the contrary, even if the first four points could be satisfactorily settled?
22148How may I know that I am one of the elect?
22148How may I know that I shall be saved?
22148How may I know that my sins are forgiven?
22148How may the case be altered for the better?
22148How shall I do when sickness befalls my family, or when other trials productive of expense come upon me, if I do not make provision for such seasons?
22148How will the offerings come in?
22148If the latter be the case, then, though you may have all the necessaries of life, yet could you be surprised if you had them not?
22148Is He, in Jesus, your Father?
22148Is it not rather His will that my means should be spent in another way?
22148Is it really a good cause in which I am called upon to become surety?
22148It might also be said by a brother whose earnings are small, should I also give according to my earnings?
22148Need such parents despair?
22148Now what is the food for the inner man?
22148Now, suppose our expenses are week after week, 30l., 40l., 50l., or 60l.?
22148Or does your business, or your family, or your own temporal concerns, in some shape or other primarily occupy your attention?
22148Or, do I depend only upon this, that Jesus died upon the cross to save sinners-- and that Jesus fulfilled the law of God to make sinners righteous?
22148Or, must I wait till I have in some powerful way a portion of the word of God applied to my mind, to assure me of it?
22148The last words of which I spoke were:"Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
22148The point is simply this: Do I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus?
22148The question here again is simply this, Have I received the Lord Jesus, i.e., Do I believe in His name?
22148The question here again is: Do I believe in the Lord Jesus?
22148The question may be asked even now,"Are these the only labourers?"
22148The question therefore simply is this: Do I believe in the Lord Jesus?
22148The questions therefore to be put to ourselves are simply these: Do I walk in utter carelessness?
22148The tenth part, or the fifth part, or the third part, or one- half, or more?
22148Under other circumstances the question would have naturally arisen in my mind, And what will you do for support, if the boxes are removed?
22148What does it matter, whether you pay immediately for it, or at the end of the month, or the quarter, or the half- year?
22148What is now to be done?
22148What is to be done in such a case?
22148What obliges the person who wishes me to become surety for him, to need a surety?
22148What shall we do now?
22148What then is to be done?
22148Where should the heart of the disciple of the Lord Jesus be, but in heaven?
22148Why am I engaged in this trade or profession?
22148Why does this post- office- order not come a few days sooner or later?
22148Why should it be so often said, and sometimes with a measure of ground, or even much ground:"Believers are bad servants, bad tradesmen, bad masters?"
22148Will any come in?
22148Will it be the least particle of uneasiness to their minds, or will their children be the worse for it?
22148Yet do all the children of God give even the tenth part of what the Lord gives them?
22148You ask, How may I, a true believer, have my faith strengthened?
22148or, What shall we drink?
22148or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
22148what would become of us and our wives and children?
20245Are your bankers still Messrs. Stuckey and Co. of Bristol, and are their hankers still Messrs. Robarts and Co. of London? 20245 What is a Christian?"
2024520 � 23?
202453, Am I not undertaking too much for my bodily strength and mental powers, by thinking about another Orphan- House?
202454, Am I not going beyond the measure of my faith in thinking about enlarging the work so as to double or treble it?
202455, Is not this a delusion of Satan, an attempt to cast me down altogether from my sphere of usefulness, by making me go beyond my measure?
202456, Is it not also, perhaps, a snare to puff me up, by attempting to build a very large Orphan- House?
20245And how did we get them?
20245And what provision is there in the way of Orphan establishments, it may be asked?
20245And why not?
20245Are not ten pounds, thus received out of the hands of our Heavenly Father, as the result of faith in God, most precious?
20245Are you prepared for eternity?
20245But how does it work, when we thus anticipate God, by going our own way?
20245But what was to be done under these circumstances?
20245But why not, you may say, dear reader?
20245Could it be otherwise?
20245Do I serve God for nought?
20245Do you not also see again the hand of God so manifestly stretched out on our behalf this day Dec. 9th?
20245Do you not discern His hand, dear reader, in this instance?
20245Do you not find it a trying life, and are you not tired of it?"
20245Do you not perceive that my fellow- labourers and myself do not wait upon the Lord in vain?
20245Do you not see how precious it is to have God to go to, and to find Him ever willing to help those who trust in Him, wherever they be?
20245Do you not see that it is not in vain, to make known our requests to the Lord, and to come to Him for everything?
20245Do you really believe in Jesus?
20245Do you verily depend upon Him alone for the salvation of your soul?
20245Does He not, however, tell me by all this: Go forward, my servant, and I will help thee?
20245Does it, or does it not?
20245Does not the Lord tell me by this, that He will provide another home for Orphans?
20245Does the Lord love you less than He loves us?
20245Does your heart praise the Lord for His goodness to us?
20245Esteemed reader, what do you think of this?
20245Had I other friends, from whom to expect the large sum which will be needed to accomplish this?
20245Have I then been boasting in God in vain?
20245He then said:"Who has allowed you to distribute these books?"
20245How can Thy servant know Thy will in this matter?
20245How long we may have the opportunity to work for the Lord, who can tell?
20245How then could I be tired of carrying on the work of God on such principles as I do?
20245How, then, could it be otherwise, but that sooner or later there should come showers of blessing?
20245Is it not a pleasant thing, in the end, even for this life, really to trust in God?
20245Is it not a privilege to be allowed to obtain future good out of present expending?
20245Is it not an honour to help such brethren?
20245Is it not like"tempting God,"to think of building another Orphan- House for seven hundred more orphans?
20245Is it not manifest how precious it is to carry on God''s work in this way, even with regard to the obtaining of means?
20245Is it not manifest that it is most precious, in every way, to depend upon God?
20245Is it not, dear reader, a precious thing to trust in the Lord?
20245Is not human reason confounded by such instances?
20245Is not the hand of God most manifest in such cases?
20245Is not this a plain proof that God is both able and willing to help simply in answer to prayer?
20245May I not well trust in the Lord, for what is yet needed for the Building Fund?
20245May you not do, what we do, under your trials?
20245My dear Christian reader, will you not try this way?
20245Now, dear reader, did the Lord help this time also?
20245Now, looking at it naturally, where is this great sum to come from?
20245Or are we better than you?
20245Or, when unbelief said, How will you be able to support a thousand Orphans?
20245Perhaps the reader may ask: What has been the result of this labour in Germany?
20245Some readers may say, And what use was made of the money which was received in this way?
20245Suppose now, you were even to succeed in getting this large Orphan House built, how will you be able to provide for 700 other Orphans?
20245Unbelief, which said, what will you do with so little as 134l.?
20245Well, the Father in heaven said, as it were, by this His dispensation, Art thou willing to give up this child to me?
20245What could I say against this?
20245What is it that I do?
20245When first converted, I should have said, What harm can there be to take some of the money, which has been put by for the Building Fund?
20245Whither shall I send it?"
20245Will not you also seek to trust in Him, and depend on Him alone in all your everyday''s concerns, and in all spiritual matters too?
20245Will she need such ornaments before her Lord?
20245Will she regret having given them for His work?
20245Will she regret the gift now?
20245Will you not do this, my dear brethren in Christ?
20245Will you not have still greater trials of faith?
20245Will you not, dear reader, taste and see that the Lord is good, and that it is a blessed thing to put our trust in Him?
20245Would it not be going beyond my measure naturally with reference to mental and bodily strength?
20245Would not this be going beyond my measure spiritually?
20245[ Do not all these objections only hold good, I said to myself, if I were needlessly to set about building?
20245does your heart admire the hand of God in these instances?
20245for the Orphans, from a distance of 3,000 miles?
20245from this Christian brother at Madras?

5970Have you ever acted any?
5970How comes it you ai n''t singin''?
5970How do you get it out, Miss Viny?

5970Oh, what''ll I do?
5970Oh, where is that man? 5970 Pesterin''about somethin''?"
5970Please, ma''am,--she plunged into her subject at once,--"have any of your girls a dress for sale?
5970Please, sir, ca n''t I take Tommy, too? 5970 Somethin''that''s already did?"
5970These is geraniums, ai n''t they? 5970 They surely ai n''t meanin''me?"
5970Till you found me?
5970Tommy,she said, clutching his arm,"do n''t you want to go back?"
5970Was there blood on her head?
5970Well, I swan, Lovey Mary, where''d you come from?
5970Well, do you think you could take leadin''lady in the entertainment?
5970Well, what do you think I''d orter do''bout it?
5970What do you all think of havin''the picnic right here an''now?
5970What you lookin''so wilted about?
5970What''ll Miss Hazy say?
5970What''s the matter with Miss Viny? 5970 What''s the matter with you?"
5970What''s the matter with your hair, Lovey Mary? 5970 What''s the name of this street?"
5970What, Mrs. Wiggs? 5970 Where they make court- plaster at?"
5970Where?
5970Who did?
5970Who fer?
5970Who is that lady?
5970Who?
5970Whose little boy are you?
5970Why ca n''t you?
5970Why did n''t you put your mind on it, Miss Hazy?
5970Will I det on de rollin''honor?
5970Would n''t a kitten do jes as well?
5970You ai n''t going to let the train run over him, are you?
5970''How''d they git here?''
5970Ai n''t men deceivin''?
5970Ai n''t that the fire- engine?"
5970Ai n''t they made a mistake or somethin''?"
5970Ai n''t you proud you ai n''t got a harelip?
5970An''what was the sense in them big shiny buttons?"
5970And does it drag in the back when you walk?"
5970As she returned to her sweeping she sang joyfully, contentedly:"Can she sweep a kitchen floor, Billy boy, Billy boy?
5970As they shrank back into the shadow, Billy whispered to Lovey Mary:"Say, what was that you put''longside of him?"
5970Ca n''t I ever get nothing at all''cause I was n''t started out with nothing?"
5970Ca n''t you take me away?
5970Can she make a cheery- pie, Charming Billy?"
5970Can she sweep a kitchen floor, Charming Billy?"
5970Could n''t you tell she handles paints?
5970Could they have suspected anything?
5970Did you ever see anything to equal the way she takes on''bout that child?
5970Do n''t all the churches call in the''Piscopals an''the lilies on both them occasions?"
5970Do you love me?"
5970Do you s''pose he''s had a stroke?"
5970Do you suppose I''d''a''dared to judge Mr. Wiggs that away?
5970Have you got a dress you could give her?"
5970Have you got so much to brag on, that you kin go to pickin''him to pieces?
5970Have you room for him in your division?"
5970How did you know, dear?
5970I bet he''s a corker, ai n''t he, Lovey?
5970I wonder if she ever misses him?"
5970I wonder if she''s got well?
5970In a moment Chris was hanging half out of the window, demanding,"Where at?"
5970Is the dress short- sleeve?
5970Miss Hazy, what do you think he''ll think of yer figger?
5970Must I make you some tea?
5970Not waiting for an answer, she continued querulously:"Say, ca n''t you get me out of this hole someway?
5970Pinchin''an''cuttin''back the shoots makes it flower all the better; needs new soil every few years; now ai n''t that Methodist down to the ground?"
5970Reckon you could learn the part?
5970Redding?"
5970Robert Reddin''?''
5970She had on a sorter gray mournin'', did n''t she, Miss Hazy?"
5970She held his chubby face up to hers and said fervently:"Tommy, do you love me?"
5970That''s a mighty important question in churches, too, ai n''t it?
5970Tommy to go away with Kate?
5970Was Tommy to be taken from her?
5970What do you all want wif ducks?"
5970What do you think he done?"
5970What is it?"
5970What must I do?"
5970What''ll I do?
5970What''ll I do?"
5970What''s this?"
5970When he''d git bilin''mad, I''d say:''Now, Mr. Wiggs, why do n''t you go right out in the woodshed an''swear off that cuss?
5970When her nervousness grew unbearable she leaned forward and touched Mrs. Redding on the shoulder:"Will you please, ma''am, tell me when we get there?"
5970When she riz to go, she says, real kind fer such a stern- faced woman,''Do the childern seem well an''happy?''
5970Where are you and Tommy at?"
5970Where we goin''to git any to drink?
5970Who ever would''a''thought, when we aimed at the cemetery, that we''d land up at a first- class fire?"
5970Why do n''t you let him go barefoot on Sundays, too, an''take the time you been mendin''fer him to play with him?
5970Wiggs?"
5970Will you come, Mary?
5970With a good home, good clothes, and kind treatment, what else could a girl want?"
5970You an''the baby got losted?
5970You''re done tuckered out, ai n''t you?
5970[ Illustration:"''Have n''t you got any place you could go to?''"]
5970[ Illustration:"''Have you ever acted any?''
5970[ Illustration:"''Now the Lord meant you to be plain''"]"Well, did n''t he want me to have a mother and father?"
5970_"Miss Hazy._"DEAR MISS[ Mrs. Wiggs read from the large type- written sheet before her]: Why not study the planets and the heavens therein?
5970ai n''t he washed out?
5970burst forth Lovey Mary, indignantly,"or clothes, or money, or nothing?
5970cried Miss Bell, seizing the girl''s hand eagerly,"did you find her and take him to her?"
5970do n''t you see he is goin''to pray?"
5970do you hear me?"
5970is that my kid?"
5970what ever will I do?
5970you can get me away from this, ca n''t you?
27288_ Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?_must be the stay of the believer at such a time, and, by grace, it is my stay now.
27288About four hours after, a sister said to me,"Do you want any money?"
27288Am I not going beyond the measure of my faith in thinking about enlarging the work so as to double or treble it?
27288Am I not undertaking too much for my bodily strength and my mental powers, by thinking about another Orphan House?
27288And how is it now?
27288And how should our Father do otherwise?
27288And since he has not, is it not a plain indication that for the present I should remain a journeyman( or shopman, or clerk, as the case may be)?"
27288And what was it that gave me peace?
27288And why not?
27288And why?
27288Are the things of God, the honor of his name, the welfare of his church, the conversion of sinners, and the profit of your own soul, your chief aim?
27288Are you in debt?
27288Are you out of debt?
27288But how does it work, when we thus anticipate God, by going our own way?
27288But how were we to obtain warmth?
27288But is this indeed the spirit in which children of God generally are engaged in their calling?
27288But perhaps it may be asked, Why do you not take the bread on credit?
27288But what did the Lord do?
27288But what is the result?
27288But what is the right way of looking at the matter?
27288But what was the result?
27288But what was to be done under these circumstances?
27288But what was to be done?
27288But_ if we do not believe_ that God will help us, could we be at peace?
27288Can it be that God has made such promises as these to me, and to such men as I am?
27288Dear reader, does your soul long to be rich towards God, to lay up treasures in heaven?
27288Do I serve God for naught?
27288Do not men believe that God means what he appears plainly to have asserted?
27288Do you make it your primary business, your first great concern, to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness?
27288Do you really believe in Jesus?
27288Do you verily depend upon him alone for the salvation of your soul?
27288Does he not, however, tell me by all this, Go forward, my servant, and I will help thee?
27288Has it ever occurred to the reader that the Lord only can preserve any one engaged in business from making bad debts?
27288Have I been boasting in God in vain?
27288Have you any_ present_ need for the Institution under your care?
27288He can not doubt that God has in a remarkable manner, at various times, answered his prayers; why should he not always answer them?
27288He sums up the whole in this remarkable language:--"And what shall I say more?
27288How can I get over the plain word of the Lord, which is to the contrary, even if the first four points could be satisfactorily settled?
27288How can we sufficiently praise the Lord for still continuing to use us in his service?
27288How may the case be altered for the better?
27288How shall I do when sickness befalls my family, or when other trials productive of expense come upon me, if I do not make provision for such seasons?
27288How then could I be tired of carrying on the work of God on such principles as I do?
27288How would we decide if a similar case should occur in physics?
27288If an invaluable treasure is here reserved for the believer, he asks, why should I not receive my portion of it?
27288If it be asked, But why should I rise early?
27288If the latter be the case, then, though you may have all the necessaries of life, yet could you be surprised if you had them not?
27288In a universe governed by moral law, why should not moral laws take precedence of all others?
27288Is it not also, perhaps, a snare to puff me up, in attempting to build a very large Orphan House?
27288Is it not an honor to help such brethren?
27288Is it not like"tempting God,"to think of building another Orphan House for seven hundred more orphans?
27288Is it not manifest how precious it is to carry on God''s work in this way, even with regard to the obtaining of means?
27288Is it not manifest that it is most precious in every way to depend upon God?
27288Is it not rather his will that my means should be spent in another way?
27288Is it really a good cause in which I am called upon to become surety?
27288Is not human reason confounded by such instances?
27288Is not this a delusion of Satan, an attempt to cast me down altogether from my sphere of usefulness, by making me to go beyond my measure?
27288Is not this a plain proof that God is both able and willing to help simply in answer to prayer?
27288Is prayer really a power with God, or is it merely an expedient by which our own piety may be cultivated?
27288It may lastly be said, But how shall I set about rising early?
27288It might also be said by a brother whose earnings are small, should_ I_ also give according to my earnings?
27288It might be asked, How much shall I give of my income?
27288It might be asked, How much time shall I allow myself for rest?
27288Lord, how can thy servant know thy will in this matter?
27288May I not well trust in the Lord for what is yet needed for the building fund?
27288My soul laid hold on that word,"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
27288Need such parents despair?
27288Now what is the food for the inner man?
27288Now, looking at it naturally, where is this great sum to come from?
27288Now, ought not the saints in our day also to act according to this word?
27288Or does your business, or your family, or your own temporal concerns, in some shape or other_ primarily_ occupy your attention?
27288Perhaps the reader may ask, What has been the result of this labor in Germany?
27288Shall I have enough myself the next month?
27288Suppose, now, you were even to succeed in getting this large Orphan House built, how will you be able to provide for seven hundred other orphans?
27288That many enemies would laugh, were the Lord to withhold supplies, and say, Did we not foretell that this enthusiasm would come to nothing?
27288The gentleman, turning to the matron, said,"Have you a good stock?"
27288The last words on which I spoke were,"Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
27288The tenth part, or the fifth part, or the third part, or one half, or more?
27288This second point, then, Why do I carry on this business?
27288To whom did I make known our wants, except to those who are closely connected with the work?
27288Well, the Father in heaven said, as it were, by this his dispensation, Art thou willing to give up this child to me?
27288Were these promises limited to prophetical or apostolical times; or have they been left as a legacy to all believers until the end shall come?
27288What could I say against this?
27288What does it matter whether you pay immediately for it, or at the end of the month, or the quarter, or the half year?
27288What is meant by the prayer of faith?
27288What is now to be done?
27288What is the limit within which they may be safely received as a ground of practical reliance?
27288What is the significance of the passages both in the New Testament and the Old which refer to it?
27288What is to be done in such a case?
27288What is to be done under these circumstances?
27288What obliges the person who wishes me to become surety for him to need a surety?
27288What then was to be done?
27288What was to be done?
27288What, then, are the conditions of this remarkable experiment, if such we may call it?
27288When I was first converted, I should have said, What harm can there be to take some of the money which has been put by for the building fund?
27288When it is therefore asked, How shall these facts be accounted for?
27288Where should the heart of the disciple of the Lord Jesus be, but in heaven?
27288Why am I engaged in this trade or profession?
27288Why does this post- office order not come a few days sooner or later?
27288Why is it, then, that this whole range of revealed truth has so generally been looked upon as an unknown and unexplored region?
27288Why should not his prayers be always of the same character?
27288Why should we deny that there is a power in prayer to which we have not commonly attained?
27288Why should we limit either the goodness or the power of God by our own knowledge of what we call the laws of nature?
27288Why should we not admit that"there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our philosophy"?
27288Will it be the least particle of uneasiness to their minds, or will their children be the worse for it?
27288Will you not have still greater trials of faith?
27288Wilt thou be pleased to teach him?
27288Would it not be going beyond my measure_ naturally_, with reference to mental and bodily strength?
27288Would not this be going beyond my measure_ spiritually_?
27288Yet do all the children of God give even the_ tenth_ part of what the Lord gives them?
27288You ask, How may I, a true believer, have my faith strengthened?
27288You see I do not care about you, and how are you able to continue to be so kind to me, and thus to serve me?"
27288[ Do not all these objections only hold good, I said to myself, if I were_ needlessly_ to set about building?
27288and why should not the believer always draw near to God in full confidence that he will do as he has said?
27288as the things which you purchase are needful?
27288or, What shall we drink?
27288or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
27288or, if we believe that he means it, do we fear the charge of fanaticism if we openly avow that we take him at his word?
27288we inquire, to what known law can they be referred?
26543And I can stay there always?
26543And can I have all I find first?
26543And did she really sleep out in the woods alone?
26543And does her grandfather really and truly have a big white house on a hill?
26543And will you be my grandpa always?
26543And you got a nice clean apron like ours, did n''t you?
26543Are we going to live in the house where all the vines are?
26543Are you going to sit here all day, little girl?
26543Are you going to sit here all day, little girl?
26543Are you hungry, little girl?
26543Are you sick?
26543Ca n''t you do anything for her?
26543Can Debby stay, too?
26543Can I help Katie this morning?
26543Can he come today?
26543Can you wash dishes?
26543Clematis, do you mean to tell me that you climbed out of the window and reached for that branch?
26543Clematis, what have you been doing to the calendar in your room?
26543Clematis,said Miss Rose,"do n''t you remember the street you lived on?"
26543Clematis,she said,"do you think that if you stayed here you could work real hard, and learn to do as the other children do?"
26543Could we go again?
26543Could you take her in for a while, till we can find her parents?
26543Dear child, what on earth have you put up that screen for? 26543 Did Deborah do that?
26543Did I say that?
26543Did n''t she have anything to help you find out who she was?
26543Did n''t you ever go out at all?
26543Did n''t you ever peel potatoes?
26543Did n''t you ever peel potatoes?
26543Did the mother leave nothing when she died, that people might know her by?
26543Did you ever have any chickens?
26543Did you hear me, Miss Rose? 26543 Did you run away this morning?"
26543Did you walk way over here to see me?
26543Did you want something, dear?
26543Do n''t forget Deborah''s satin dress, and velvet hat?
26543Do n''t know? 26543 Do n''t you ever get a cup of coffee for breakfast?"
26543Do n''t you know any of her folks who could care for her?
26543Do n''t you really know any prayers at all?
26543Do n''t you remember your mother''s name?
26543Do n''t you think I had better stay, too?
26543Do n''t you think the cook might need it for a day or two, to catch the rats?
26543Do n''t you want me?
26543Do n''t you want to play?
26543Do you feel better now, dear little girl?
26543Do you keep the room lighted at night?
26543Do you know her last name?
26543Do you know what it was the new girl stole? 26543 Do you know what they are, Jane?"
26543Do you like the flowers?
26543Do you like warm milk right from the cow?
26543Do you mean she died a long time ago?
26543Do you promise?
26543Do you see it?
26543Do you see some one there you know?
26543Do you see that patch of raspberries down there, just beyond the hen house?
26543Do you think I will have a chance to go to the country?
26543Do you think that is polite?
26543Do you think there may be a change tonight?
26543Do you think they will let me keep her?
26543Do you think you could take her in a class by herself for a short time?
26543Do you think you would really like to stay?
26543Do you want something?
26543For me to eat?
26543Gracious, what was that?
26543Has she been weeding in her good clothes?
26543Have n''t I got to fold my clothes?
26543Have you any oranges in the house?
26543Have you any trace of her father and mother?
26543Have you learned any of your letters?
26543Have you no father or mother?
26543He said I could go, did n''t he?
26543He said I could go, did n''t he?
26543Her tag says Mrs. Alder on it, is that the one?
26543How can I help, if every single thing I do is wrong?
26543How did she pass the night?
26543How did you get those buds?
26543How has the new girl done today?
26543How on earth did those chickens get killed?
26543How would you know the street you lived on if nobody ever told you?
26543How would you like to take a long walk this afternoon, Clematis?
26543I do n''t see them anywhere, do you?
26543I reached out of the window,said Clematis,"why, was that stealing?"
26543I told Miss Rose every single thing,she said,"except--""Except what?"
26543If you did n''t know where you lived, how could you tell anyone?
26543Is n''t this my room?
26543Is she no better?
26543Is she really your grandchild?
26543Is that all you could find out?
26543Is there anything you would like?
26543It''s pretty, is n''t it?
26543Jane, what were the girls saying about Clematis at the table?
26543Let me see, I do n''t know your name, do I?
26543Made it already? 26543 May I choose anything I want?"
26543May I eat them now?
26543May I have a cream cake?
26543May I?
26543Miss Rose,he asked, as he started up,"did this little girl want anything very much indeed?"
26543My dear child, what do you mean?
26543No breakfast? 26543 No father?
26543Nothing to eat all day? 26543 Now, Miss Clematis, do you see anything there you like?"
26543Now, are your eyes shut?
26543Oh, Mr. Alder, where have all the chickens gone?
26543Oh, who is going to have it? 26543 Oh,"replied Clematis,"is he the man who owns the white house with the vines, and has had so much sadness?"
26543Oho, so the little bird woke first, did she?
26543Please may I ring the bell tonight, Miss Rose?
26543Say, Jane, if I tell you a secret will you promise not to tell anybody else?
26543Shall I give her the medicine as directed?
26543So you think you would like to stay a whole year, do you?
26543Stole something? 26543 Then you are ready to give her up?"
26543They gave you a bath, did n''t they?
26543They said the father''s name was Jones; did they tell you his first name?
26543To the country where the flowers grow, and where there is grass all around?
26543Was n''t I quick in getting into bed? 26543 Was n''t it stealing?"
26543Well then, what is your father''s name?
26543Well, Miss Rose, have you found out anything about that strange little child?
26543Well, how would you like to live in a place where you had to stay in an old brick yard all day, and never saw even grass?
26543Well, then, what are you crying about?
26543Well, well, is her name Clematis?
26543Well, what do you say, little girl? 26543 Well, where is Clematis?"
26543Well, who comes here?
26543Well, would n''t you expect her to be like her own grandfather?
26543Well, would n''t you run away, if you had to stay in a yard all day that was nothing but bricks?
26543Well,said Clematis,"if you never learned to peel potatoes, would you know how to do it?"
26543What are you afraid of?
26543What are you sewing?
26543What are you sewing?
26543What did she want the branch for?
26543What do you mean? 26543 What do you mean?
26543What do you suppose?
26543What does she have to drink?
26543What does she talk about?
26543What is his name?
26543What is it you are thinking about? 26543 What is it, Ruth?"
26543What is it?
26543What is that for?
26543What is the matter, miss?
26543What is this for?
26543What is this place?
26543What is your name?
26543What makes you think so?
26543What on earth made you bring that cat way up here?
26543What was it you found?
26543What was it, little girl?
26543What would you like to do, dear?
26543What''s her name?
26543What''s that now, a cat? 26543 What, way up there at the roof?"
26543Where are you going, little girl?
26543Where are you going?
26543Where did you find it?
26543Where do you live, miss? 26543 Where is Maine?"
26543Where is it now, Clematis?
26543Where was she?
26543Who lives here?
26543Who lives there?
26543Who''s going to hurt you?
26543Who, Clematis? 26543 Why Clematis, what is in this box?"
26543Why ca n''t you leave the blankets till you go to bed, and then just pull them up?
26543Why did you run away?
26543Why on earth did that child ever bring her old cat up here? 26543 Why, do n''t you think she could help you?"
26543Why, little girl, where did you come from?
26543Why?
26543Will that stop teeth from aching?
26543Would he let you pick the daisies?
26543Would n''t you be hungry if you had n''t had any breakfast or dinner?
26543Would n''t you be hungry if you had n''t had anything to eat all day long?
26543Would n''t you know your own daughter, if you saw her?
26543Would you know any prayers if you had never learned any?
26543Would you like me to help you?
26543Would you like to take Deborah to the playroom for a while, and play with her there?
26543You can pick daisies, and goldenrod, and all sorts of flowers in the country, if you''ll just get well, ca n''t she, Miss Rose?
26543You hope?
26543You stayed there all last night? 26543 You think you can shell peas, do you?
26543You will try to help all you can, wo n''t you, dear? 26543 Alder?
26543Alder?"
26543Are there any lilacs?"
26543Brooks?"
26543CHAPTER IV WHO IS CLEMATIS?
26543CHAPTER XVII WHERE IS CLEMATIS?
26543Can that be true?"
26543Could it be for her?
26543Did you have a good sleep?"
26543Do n''t you know you might have fallen and killed yourself?"
26543Do n''t you see anything you like?"
26543Do n''t you want to go with me?"
26543Do you mean that you wish never to go back where you came from?"
26543Do you think you would like that?"
26543Do you think you would like to stay?
26543Do you understand?"
26543Do you want to fill the house with flies?"
26543Have you lost her?"
26543Have you seen her today?"
26543Have you seen her?"
26543He was poorly dressed, and looked as if he had been ill."Did you wish to see me about one of the children?"
26543How can I take you home if you do n''t tell me where you live?"
26543How did you know about him?"
26543How was she to climb up there and hold her box?
26543I do n''t suppose you mind, do you?"
26543I shall go to see you in Tilton next week, so you must be thinking it over, and decide if you really want to stay?
26543If he did n''t mean it, why did he say it?"
26543If she went back to the yard, all made of bricks, how would she ever see the grass and flowers?
26543Is Clematis ready?"
26543Is n''t she in the loft?"
26543Is she lost?"
26543Is that true?"
26543Is there anything you would like her to do?"
26543Is there something you want?"
26543Knapp?"
26543No dinner?
26543No mother?"
26543Smith?"
26543Snow think of her now?
26543Snow,"are you the one who took care of this little girl?"
26543Snow?"
26543The First Night 28 4. Who is Clematis?
26543What else?"
26543What is it you dream about so much?"
26543What is just the same?"
26543What is the matter, anyway?
26543What should they do?
26543What''s the matter?
26543What''s the name of the street?"
26543What''s the trouble, sister?"
26543When?"
26543Where did you get that?"
26543Where do you live, anyway?"
26543Where have you been all day?"
26543Where is Clematis?
26543Who goes to the country?"
26543Who is going to have it?"
26543Why do n''t you look out?"
26543Why must I get up?"
26543Why, what did she steal, Jane?"
26543Would you like to leave your cat alone, where people might throw it away while you were gone?"
26543Would you like to pick a few?
26543You did n''t do things quite right, did you?
26543You did not believe me, did you?"
26543You will, if you get a chance, wo n''t you?"
26543You wo n''t ever, will you, Debby?"
26543[ Illustration: Clematis held out her hand]"Do you think you could find your way home again, if Miss Rose went with you?"
26543[ Illustration: Off for Tilton] CHAPTER XI A LONG, ANXIOUS NIGHT"Well,"said Doctor Wyatt, the next morning,"how is Clematis today?"
26543[ Illustration:"Did n''t you ever peel potatoes?"]
26543[ Illustration:"What are you sewing?"]
26543have you seen our little girl?"
13997''Do you mean for ribbons? 13997 ''Do you mean, my friend, for a one- hoss shay, Or the horse himself,--black, roan, or bay?
13997''Pray might I be allowed a pun, To help me through with just this one? 13997 ''The Tenderness of God-- the Compassion-- that taketh away the sins of the world?''"
13997''The shirtless backs put into the shirts?''
13997''What is the difference between sponge- cake and doughnuts?'' 13997 ''What is your favorite name?''"
13997A new word? 13997 After Z----, what should it be but''And?''"
13997All well at home, David?
13997All you wanted? 13997 And Dorris is that bright girl who wanted thirteen things, and rhymed them into''Crambo?''
13997And Homesworth is in the country? 13997 And I do n''t sympathize?
13997And mamma knows?
13997And the Bible, too?
13997And the new word?
13997And then what?
13997And you are willing, if he does n''t care?
13997Anybody else?
13997Are n''t these almost too exquisite? 13997 Are you too tired to walk home?"
13997Better-- how?
13997But do you_ care_?
13997But how can you live_ without_ wearing?
13997But is n''t it scene and costume, a good deal of it, without the play? 13997 But the change again, if she should have to make it?"
13997But then?
13997But what_ is_ she? 13997 But where are your common things?"
13997Can I help you? 13997 Come and_ live_?"
13997Desire?
13997Do n''t it appear to you it''s a kind of a stump? 13997 Do n''t you remember?
13997Do n''t you think it''s expected that we should do something with the corners? 13997 Do n''t you want to come and swing?"
13997Do they? 13997 Do you feel any better?"
13997Do you know what Hazel Ripwinkley is doing? 13997 Do you know what that''s a sign of, you children?"
13997Do you mean, Ruthie, that you and I might go and_ live_ in such places? 13997 Do you s''pose ma''ll think of that?"
13997Do you s''pose we did it?
13997Do you think you could be contented to come and live with me?
13997Do you think, Luclarion,said Desire, feebly, as Luclarion came to take away her bowl of chicken broth,--"that it is my_ duty_ to go with mamma?"
13997Does it? 13997 Eh?"
13997Get anything by that?
13997Good woman? 13997 Has he got a flag out there?"
13997Have you come to_ stay_?
13997Have you had a good time?
13997How can I say''we,''then?
13997How can I tell?
13997How can you, Helena?
13997How did it work when it came to you?
13997How do you feel?
13997How do you know about sea- shores and pine forests?
13997How do you?
13997How does she know?
13997How far does Miss Waite''s ground run along the river?
13997How is it that things always fall right together for you, so? 13997 How much will it cost?"
13997How was it, Aleck?
13997Hungry and restless; that''s what we all are,said Rachel Froke,"until"--"Well,--until?"
13997I do n''t see,--Mrs. Marchbanks ought to have some of this coffee, but where is your good woman gone?
13997I teach? 13997 Is it slang?
13997Is n''t it a responsibility,Frank ventured,"to think what we shall contrive_ for_?"
13997It looks like it, sometimes; who can tell?
13997It''s the same thing, mother,she would say,"is n''t it, now?
13997Jesus Christ, God''s Heart of Love toward man? 13997 Miss Craydocke, of Orchard Street?
13997Miss Craydocke,said Hazel,"how did you begin your beehive?"
13997Must I go to Europe with my mother?
13997Never knew that was what it meant? 13997 Next of kin?"
13997Not been to church to- day?
13997Now, ma''am, did you ever know me to go off on a tangent, without some sort of a string to hold on to? 13997 Now, tell me, truly, uncle, should you object?
13997O, my dear, do n''t I tell you continually, you have n''t waked up yet? 13997 O, why_ ca n''t_ they?"
13997Only,said Hazel, to whom something else had just occurred,"would n''t he think-- wouldn''t it be--_your_ business?"
13997Real Westover summum- bonum cake?
13997Should what?
13997Stay behind? 13997 Suppose you ask him, Hazel?"
13997That same little old story? 13997 That will clothe you,--without much fuss and feathers?"
13997The Syphon?
13997The angels in heaven know; why should n''t you?
13997The same old way?
13997The world?
13997There is something-- isn''t there-- about those who_ attain_ to that resurrection; those who are_ worthy_? 13997 They''re the things I wear; why should n''t I?"
13997Twice a day I have to do myself up somehow, and why should n''t it be as well as I can? 13997 Was there ever anything restless in your life, Miss Craydocke?
13997We have engaged the young woman: the doctor quite approves; she will return without delay, I hope?
13997Well, I suppose it''s worth while to have a lame girl to sit up in a round chair, and look like a lily in a vase, is it?
13997Well, if everybody is upside down, there''s a view of it that makes it all right side up, is n''t there? 13997 Well, then, how did you_ let_ it begin?"
13997Well,--do you feel''obligated,''as Luclarion says?'' 13997 Well?"
13997Well?
13997Well?
13997Well?
13997What do you mean by that second person plural, eh? 13997 What do you mean?"
13997What do you suppose would happen then?
13997What do you think Rosamond says?
13997What do you think you and I ought to do, one of these days, Ruthie? 13997 What does it mean, mother?"
13997What have you thought, Luclarion? 13997 What is his name?"
13997What is it all for?
13997What is it, mother?
13997What is it? 13997 What is the delay?"
13997What is the matter?
13997What makes you suppose that that would be a trouble to me?
13997What now?
13997What old lady, mamma, away up in Hanover?
13997What other things?
13997What was it, then?
13997What''s the matter?
13997What, Luclarion?
13997What?
13997When they give me a piece of their luncheon, or when they walk home from school, or when they say they will come in a little while?
13997Where are they?
13997Where did you get hold of that?
13997Where is Luclarion?
13997Where must I stop?
13997Where was you when it tumbled?
13997Where''s my poker?
13997Where''s your empty box, now?
13997Where_ will_ you wear that, up here?
13997Who knows when they began?
13997Who''s Sulie Praile?
13997Who?
13997Why do n''t you ask them to help you hunt up old Noah, and all get back into the ark, pigeons and all?
13997Why does n''t everbody have an old house, and let the squirrels in?
13997Why does thee ask me, Desire?
13997Why must everything_ look_ somehow?
13997Why need all the good be done up in batches, I wonder? 13997 Why not?
13997Why what is that? 13997 Why what, dear?"
13997Why_ do n''t_ you put your old brown things all together in an up- stairs room, and call it Mile Hill? 13997 Will she call me Daisy?"
13997Will you have some more?
13997Will you let me go?
13997Wo n''t you?
13997Would it signify if she thought you called me Daisy?
13997Would n''t it be rather an aggravation? 13997 Would n''t it do to put in this laurel bush next, with the bird''s nest in it?"
13997Would that interfere?
13997You ai n''t mad with me, be you?
13997You called about the nurse, I conclude, Miss-- Holabird?
13997You see it_ was_ rather an awful question,--''What do you want most?'' 13997 You would n''t want to be brought up in a platoon, Hazel?"
13997_ Guess_? 13997 _ One_ taken?
13997_ Slang_?
13997_ Why_ do you hate the thought of going to Europe?
13997_ Your_ money?
13997''How wags the world?''
13997''I suppose you have been shopping?''
13997''Why reason ye because ye have no bread?
13997--Shall I go on with all this stuff, Or do you think it is enough?
13997A Sermon means a Word; why do n''t they just say the word, and let it go?"
13997About taking away the sins,--do you think?"
13997After all that had happened,--everything so changed,--half her family abroad,--what could she do?
13997All alone?
13997And Desire?
13997And Mr. Geoffrey read,--"''What is your favorite color?''
13997And a''flying circle''in the middle?
13997And all Helena''s education to provide for, and everything so cheap and easy there, and so dear and difficult here?
13997And are novels to be pictures of human experience, or not?
13997And besides, ca n''t I see daily just how your nature draws and points?"
13997And could half as much sympathy be evolved from a straight line?"
13997And how is my money going to work on?"
13997And how long did it take to overlive it?
13997And now they would go back to tea, and eat up the brown cake?
13997And the face that could be simply merry, telling such a tale as that,--what sort of bright little immortality must it be the outlook of?
13997And the most beautiful things do not speak from the outside, do they?
13997And to do only a little, in an easy way, when we are made so strong to do; would n''t it be a waste of power, and a missing of the meaning?
13997And what Luclarion Grapp has done?
13997And what business has the printer, whom the next man will pay to advertise his loss, to help on a lie like this beforehand?
13997And what can I do?
13997And where do you live?"
13997Are girls ever too tired to walk home after a picnic, when the best of the picnic is going to walk home with them?
13997Are you shirking your responsibilities, or are you addressing your imaginary Boffinses?
13997At last,--"You are fond of scenery, Miss Holabird?"
13997Besides, she would eat some of the berry- cake when it was made; was n''t that worth while?
13997Besides, what would he know about two young girls?
13997Black or white?
13997But brooms, and pails, and wash- tubs, and the back stairs?"
13997But do you suppose he did n''t know?
13997But it_ was_ a stump, was n''t it?"
13997But then, it had been for their good; how could she have imagined?
13997But what should they say; and would it be at all proper that they should be surprised?
13997But why will people do such things?
13997But you''ve got God''s daily bread in your hand; how can you talk devil''s Dutch over it?"
13997But, O dear what did it?
13997Clouds, trees, faces,--do they ever look twice the same?"
13997Come, Mr. Oldways, Mr. Geoffrey, wo n''t you try''Crambo?''
13997Could n''t Mr. Gallilee put up a swing?
13997Could you begin the world with me, Rosamond?"
13997Cutting out was nice, of course; who does n''t like cutting out pictures?
13997Diana''s a dear, and Hazel''s a duck, besides being my cousins; why should n''t I?
13997Did she send you here to ask me?"
13997Do n''t go for callin''me Dam, now; the boys did that in my last place, an''I left, don''yer see?
13997Do n''t you feel like foolish virgins, Flo and Nag?
13997Do n''t you have ghosts, or robbers, or something, up and down those stairs, Miss Waite?"
13997Do n''t you miss that?"
13997Do n''t you remember in that book of the''New England Housekeeper,''that you used to have, what the woman said about the human nature of the beans?
13997Do n''t you remember the brown cupboard in Aunt Oldways''kitchen, how sagey, and doughnutty, and good it always smelt?
13997Do n''t you see?
13997Do n''t you think Miss Waite would like to sell?"
13997Do n''t you think people almost always live out their names?
13997Do n''t you think that''s nice of him?"
13997Do you draw?
13997Do you know how large a part of life, even young life, is made of the days that have never been lived?
13997Do you know how strange it is,--how almost impracticable,--that it is not even safe?"
13997Do you know things puzzle me a little, Kenneth?
13997Do you know when we rubbed our new shoes with pounded stone and made them gray?
13997Do you think I could take you there?"
13997Do you think I have passed her over lightly in her troubles?
13997Does it crowd you any to have Sulie and Vash there, and to have us''took up''with them, as Luclarion says?"
13997Does it mean so in the other place?
13997Does n''t it just make out?"
13997Does n''t she want you to go?"
13997Does n''t that sound like thousands of them, all fresh and rustling?
13997Does nothing come to thee?"
13997Does that do it?"
13997Does thee get no word when thee goes to church?
13997Except just_ that_ that the little children_ were_, underneath, when the Lord let them-- He knows why-- be born so?
13997For how_ should_ they outgrow it?
13997For was not she a mother, testing the world''s chalice for her children?
13997Froke, when does He give it out?
13997Froke?"
13997From four till half- past eight, with games, and tea at six, and the fathers looking in?"
13997Gone?"
13997Has n''t anybody got to contrive anything more?
13997Have n''t you calculated?"
13997Hazel danced up to Desire:--"O,_ do_ you know the Muffin Man, The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man?
13997He could do as he pleased; was he not Sir Archibald?
13997How came you to?"
13997How came you to?"
13997How can we set aside his ways until He clearly points us out his own exception?"
13997How could she bring news of others''gladness into that dim and sorrowful house?
13997How could she help her words, hearing nothing but devil''s Dutch around her all the time?
13997How do I know this money would be well in their hands-- even for themselves?"
13997How else could she establish any relations between herself and them, or get any permanent hold or access?
13997How is it that ye do not understand?''"
13997How much money have you got?"
13997How shall I know?"
13997How will you get home, Mrs. Froke?
13997How?"
13997How_ came_ Damaris to come along?"
13997I do n''t suppose you would mean to stay altogether?"
13997I might learn A, and teach them that; but how do I know I shall ever learn B, myself?"
13997I s''pose''twould take a fortnight, maybe?"
13997I suppose there must be some who are just born to this world, then, and never--''born again?''"
13997I wonder whether she gives or takes?"
13997I wonder why, when they''ve got old, and ought to?
13997In one corner of the chimney leaned an iron bar, used sometimes in some forgotten, old fashioned way, across dogs or pothooks,--who knows now?
13997In the great Ledger of God will it always stand unbalanced on the debit side?
13997Is it all finished now?
13997Is it not a partaking of the heavenly Marriage Supper?
13997Is it the stillness?
13997Is n''t he one?"
13997Is n''t it the''much''that is required of us, Dakie?"
13997Is n''t it?"
13997Is n''t that a horseshoe?
13997Is n''t that the special pleasantness of making cakes where little children are?
13997Is n''t that true?
13997Is not this that she is growing to inwardly, more blessed than any marriage or giving in marriage?
13997Is that end and moral enough for a two years''watchful trial and a two years''simple tale?
13997Is there a sin in that?"
13997It may be that I do n''t understand, because I have not got into the heart of your city life; but what comes of the parties, for instance?
13997It was all over; and now, what should they do?
13997Kincaid?"
13997Kincaid?"
13997Luclarion, have n''t you got a great big empty room up at the top of the house?"
13997May I go, mother?
13997Might she not find him there; might they not silently and spiritually, without sign, but needing no sign, begin to understand each other now?
13997Mother,"she asked rather suddenly,"do you think Uncle Oldways feels as if we ought n''t to do-- other things-- with his money?"
13997Mr. Oldways''saying came back into Mrs. Froke''s mind:--"Have n''t you got any light, Rachel, that might shine a little for that child?"
13997Mrs. Ripwinkley did not complain; it was only her end of the"stump;"why should she expect to have a Luclarion Grapp to serve her all her life?
13997Mrs. Ripwinkley looked up in utter surprise; what else could she do?
13997Much?
13997Must we never, in this life, gather round us the utmost that the world is capable of furnishing?
13997Must we never, out of this big creation, have the piece to ourselves, each one as he would choose?"
13997Never mind; I''ll fetch thee more to- morrow; and thee''ll let the vase go for a while?
13997Not go to Europe?
13997Now that we have hit upon this metaphor, is n''t it funny that our little social experiment should have taken the shape of a horseshoe?"
13997Now what''ll you do?"
13997Now, do n''t you suppose I ought to go?"
13997O,_ do n''t_ you remember, Laura?
13997O,_ do_ you know the Muffin Man That lives in Drury Lane?"
13997Of all my poor father''s work, what is there to show for it now?
13997Once a month, in church, they have the bread and the wine?
13997Or do you think I am making her out to have herself passed over them lightly?
13997Or flowers?
13997Or wo n''t you have to stay, too?"
13997Poh?
13997Ripwinkley?"
13997Ripwinkley?"
13997Ripwinkley?"
13997S''posin''we''d jumped in the kitchen, or-- the-- flat- irons had tumbled down,--or anything?
13997Scherman?"
13997She asked her mother one night, if she did n''t think they might begin their beehive with a fire- fly?
13997She ought to have known her father better; his life ought to have been more to her; was it her fault, or, harder yet, had it been his?
13997She went away back, strangely, and asked whether she had had any business to be born?
13997Should you take it at all hard?
13997Since why?
13997So he said, smiling,--"And who knows what the''everything''may be?"
13997So, they were to be separated?
13997Tea parties?"
13997That was the first thing ever we learnt, was n''t it, Dine?
13997The new, fresh word, with the leaven in it?
13997The old lady is satisfied; and away up there in Hanover, what can it signify to her?
13997The people who lived there called it East Square; but what difference did that make?
13997Then Hazel wished they could be put into clean clothes each time; would n''t it do, somehow?
13997Then Kenneth Kincaid said,--"Miss Desire, why wo n''t you come and teach in the Mission School?"
13997Then she added,--for her little witch- stick felt spiritually the quality of what she spoke to,--"Wouldn''t Mr. Geoffrey come for Ada in the evening?"
13997There was Uncle Titus; who knew but it was the Oldways streak in him after all?
13997There was nothing really rude in it; she was there on business; what more could she expect?
13997There were chances,--don''t you think so?"
13997They are friends of yours?"
13997They?
13997This terrible"why should it be?"
13997To find out what one thinks about things, is pretty much the whole finding, is n''t it?"
13997Uncle Titus wanted to know"what sort of use a thing like that could be in a house?"
13997Uncle Titus, do you mind how we fill it up,--because you gave it to us, you know?"
13997Was it going aside in search of an undertaking that did not belong to her?
13997Was n''t that being good for anything, while berry- cake was making?
13997Was not the real family just beginning to be born into the real home?
13997Was this caring?
13997Well?"
13997Were all the mistakes-- the sins, even-- for the very sake of the pure blessedness and the more perfect knowledge of the setting right?
13997What are our artistic perceptions given to us for, unless we''re to make the best of ourselves in the first place?"
13997What are shirts made for?"
13997What did she care for the hiss and the bubble, if they came?
13997What did you do?
13997What did you mean?"
13997What difference did it make?
13997What do you suppose the resurrection was, or is?"
13997What do you suppose they''re letting us stay at home from school for?"
13997What else can it mean?
13997What had the word of the Spirit been to Rachel Froke this day?
13997What has that to do with it?"
13997What if he should die pretty soon?
13997What is the reason I ca n''t?
13997What is the use of asking?
13997What is there left of all we have ever tried to do, all these years?
13997What is there more about it?
13997What kind?"
13997What made Rosamond so wise about knowing and belonging?
13997What makes us have to mind it so?"
13997What matters a little pain, outside?
13997What other way would there be?
13997What was one hour at a time, once or twice a week, to do against all this?
13997What was the use of"looking,"unless things were looked at?
13997What was two thousand a year, now- a- days?
13997What was wrong, and how far back?
13997What were houses for?
13997What were the spare places made for?
13997What will come of it all, as the pretenses multiply?
13997What wonder that this stood in her way, for very pleasantness, when Kenneth asked her to come and teach in the school?
13997What would you do?"
13997What''s the use?
13997What''s''next year?''
13997When there could be so much visiting, and spare rooms kept always in everybody''s house, why should not somebody who needed to, just come in and stay?
13997When they got out upon the sidewalk, Kenneth Kincaid asked,"Was it one of the morsels that may be shared, Miss Desire?
13997Where are the children, do you suppose, you dear old Frau Van Winkle, that would come to such a party now?"
13997Where did you get such pictures, Miss Hazel?"
13997Where do you keep all your noise and your breath?
13997Where''s the difference?"
13997Where?"
13997Whether it were a piece of God''s truth at all, that she and all of them should be, and call themselves a household,--a home?
13997Who are all a mistake in the world, and have nothing to do with its meaning?
13997Who does, or_ do n''t_ look after you?"
13997Who ever suspected_ that_ of you?"
13997Who knows what would come of it?
13997Who should write to Mrs. Ripwinkley, after all these years, from Boston?
13997Who was taking care of their father?
13997Why ca n''t I live something out for myself, and have a place of my own?
13997Why ca n''t it be spread round, a little more even?
13997Why could n''t they keep little Vash?
13997Why do n''t they keep a little way off from each other in cities, and so have room for apple trees?
13997Why do n''t you put your flowers in the window, Hazel?"
13997Why does n''t somebody stop?"
13997Why need people dispute about Eternity and Divinity, if they can only see that?--Was that Mrs. Froke''s reading?"
13997Why ought n''t there to be_ little_ homes, done- by- hand homes, for all these little children, instead of-- well-- machining them all up together?"
13997Why should Desire feel cross?
13997Why should I set up to fetch and carry?"
13997Why should I, any more than a boy?
13997Why should anybody in particular be thanked, as if anybody in particular had asked for anything?
13997Why should n''t somebody do it, just to show how good it is?"
13997Why should not Mrs. Ledwith and the others come and join them?
13997Why should they?
13997Why was she left out,--forgotten?
13997Why was there nothing, very much, in any of this, for her?
13997Why will you torment yourself so?"
13997Why, that is, if religion stand for the relation of things to spirit, which I suppose it should?
13997Why, where_ could_ you stay?
13997Why?
13997Why?
13997Will she put it on the ice for to- morrow?"
13997Will there be always pennies for every little broom?
13997Will this be lost in the world?
13997Will two, and three, and six sweeps be tolerated between side and side?
13997Will you bring her here, Hazel?"
13997Will you come up here, and see me in my room?
13997Wo n''t you ever be tired of it,--you great girls?"
13997Wo n''t you-- can''t you-- be my wife, Rosamond?
13997Work?
13997Would it not be more prudent to join them, than to set up a home again without them, and keep them out there?
13997Would n''t he like it if we turned his house into a Beehive?"
13997Would n''t you like to come and see?"
13997Would she go and live among them, in one of these little new, primitive homes, planted down in the pasture- land, on the outskirts?
13997Would she-- the pretty, graceful, elegant Rosamond-- live semi- detached with old Miss Arabel Waite?
13997Would you care if it was turned quite into a Beehive, finally?"
13997You ca n''t make the world over, with''why don''ts?''"
13997You could keep it for old times''sake, and sit there mornings; the house is big enough; and then have furniture like other people''s in the parlor?"
13997You do n''t take it in away down under your belt, do you?
13997You girls, with feet and hands of your own?
13997You never ate any of my top- overs?
13997You''d like to come and take tea with me, would n''t you, Aunt Frank?"
13997You''re great, are n''t you?
13997_ Is n''t_ anything actually pretty in itself, or ca n''t they settle what it is?
13997_ Would_ not life touch her?
13997came up the pleasant tones of Mrs. Oldways from behind,"how can they help it?
13997do you remember the dear little parties our mother used to make for us?
13997or eyes?
13997or gems?
13997or gowns?
13997or in sunset skies?
13997there were some little children taken away from you before we came, you know?
13997to the hindrance of the next man who may have a real wolf to catch?
13997what_ did_ she mean?"
13997who wants to be waited on, here?
