12236Now what do you all say?
12236What do you think the folks will say when we tell them that our little mule packed most of the meat of an ox four miles from one camp to another?

12236Was it the long drive, poison water, or what?
12236Well, what next?
12236What shall we do now?
12236When should we find their remains, and how learn of their sad history if we ourselves should live to get back again to settlements and life?
12236When should we know their fate?
12236Where is it?"
12236Where was the salt to make this mighty brine pond, and why did it keep so when the great rivers kept pouring in their torrents of fresh waters?
12236Who knows?
12236Who shall say the thanks that arose were less acceptable, because not given on bended knees before gilded altars?
12236Will that do?"
45238And see''st thou, and hear''st thou, And fear''st thou, and fear''st thou, And ride we not free O''er the terrible sea, I and thou?

45238and what are we going for?
21459And Magog?
21459Arrah, now, why are ye afther bothering so long on the side of the mountain?
21459But if I succeed in reaching it and climbing a tree, will not the delay enable the Indians to overtake me?
21459But when, friend, are they coming?
21459Can you count the flakes which fall in early winter? 21459 Can you say when the thunderbolt will fall?
21459Can you say, O white- skins, how the blossoms come on the trees? 21459 How do you feel?
21459I might well say, is it you, Dick?
21459Look, Obed,said I,"what are those out there?"
21459Shall I fire, Dick?
21459Sparks from my fire?
21459Still, if it is so, what has become of the scouts?
21459Was the fish on to it, though?
21459Well, Sam, but where''s the trail?
21459What are they about now? 21459 What are they saying?"
21459What will you do? 21459 Whither shall I fly?
21459Who are they, think you?
21459Why, stranger, where have you dropped from? 21459 You remember the worthy Delaware who came to our tent and persuaded me to accompany him?
21459` When I have thought of what is to be done, why should I think of anything more? 21459 ` When shall we be able to leave it?''
21459Are you able, think you, to walk?"
21459But where had I drifted to?
21459Could I manage to preserve existence for that length of time?
21459Could my friends be ahead?
21459Could they be the Pawnees who had lost my track, and were thus making a circuit in the expectation of coming on it?
21459Could they have gained scent of me and be following in my rack?
21459Did I lie there and howl like a wounded dog?
21459Do n''t ye see no harm has come to any one of them yet, at all, at all?"
21459How can I escape from my swift- heeled enemies with all this weight of things to carry?
21459How else did he become possessed of those arrows?"

21459How should I protect myself if attacked either by savages or wild beasts?
21459How was he to scramble up over the edge of the cliff, exhausted as he must be with his exertions?
21459I could scrape together a little food from that left by the Indians; but had I any chance of reaching any fort or settlement in the depth of winter?
21459I might work my way out of the leather thongs which bound me, and get clear of my captors; but then where was I to go?
21459I was again tolerably strong, and I could run some miles, but in what direction should I bend my steps?
21459I was the weakest of the party, do ye see?
21459If the latter, would they prove friends or foes?
21459Need I fly?"
21459Shall I haul you up, or will you climb up?"
21459The question now is, shall we stay here and fight the varmints, or shall we strike tents, and push away over the mountains?"
21459Was it from the hut of a white man or from the temporary encampment of Indians?
21459We had no doubt it was one of the scouts we had sent out; for who else was likely at that time to be coming to us?
21459We thought, therefore, that we must have been mistaken as to the groan, when some one asked,"Where is Obed Ragget?"
21459What could it be?
21459What do you say to it?"
21459What does that mean?"
21459What good had I done in the world?
21459What had become of the rest of the party?
21459What is to be done?
21459What prospect had I of obtaining food to sustain life till I could find them?
21459What use to me now were my fire- arms?
21459Whence did the suggestion come?
21459Where was the wagon?
21459Where were my friends?
21459Where were the other two?
21459Who but the base- hearted would be unmerciful to man''s most serviceable and sagacious of friends?
21459Who''s for the game?"
21459` Is there not some probability of our being snowed up?''
21459` Where is the wood in which we are to pass the night?''
21459` Where to?''
21459can you reckon the buffaloes as they scamper across the plains in a stampedo?"
21459do you know the number of the stars in the blue canopy above our heads?
21459how should I procure food, and how should I defend my feet when all my bandages were worn- out, should I not succeed in finding my friends?
21459how the mist fills the air?
21459how the snow melts on the ground?"
21459is it you?"
21459is that you?
21459when the tempest is about to burst?
21459where the prairie- fire will break forth?"
21459you do n''t suppose they''ll thank you for letting''em live?"
48142Afoot?
48142And did you visit them before you went to California?
48142And do your father and sisters live in Mississippi?
48142Are you a Southern man?
48142How much do I owe you?
48142How much do you charge?
48142I knew you were from the South,said one:"Why?"
48142Was Dick your brother?
48142Well, how do you know you are going?
48142What is your name?
48142What sort of a looking thing is a dry dock?
48142Where are we?
48142Where are you from?
48142Where are you going?
48142Where have you been?
48142Wonder if all the boys who read these lines understand about the change from sun time to railroad time?
48142Wonder what there is here?
48142After I had signed my name, he said,"Wash, do you want your furlough now?"
48142After the close of the session I approached him with the remarks:"You never saw me before?"
48142Are you ashamed of it?
48142As I spun my yarn that night around the fire- side, my sister said,"Brother, why did n''t you ask Mrs. Edmondson to send you out in a buggy?"
48142As they came up, the owner of the boat said:"Who are you?"
48142Can you curry horses?
48142Could you not do so?"
48142He easily detected me, as I had on a fur cap, very uncommon in the South, He said:"Are you ready to pay me, sir?"
48142He looks around in wonder and what do you think he sees?
48142He replied:"How are you going to get any grub?"
48142He said:"Do you know Safford in California?"
48142He said:"Do you know who he was?"
48142He said:"Do you think I am a fool?
48142He said:"Was it Ike Reader?"
48142He said:"Well, old fellow, are you loyal?"
48142He scowled at me, then said to the old lady:"Who''s this you''ve got here?"
48142Here is a nice town, some large stores, a court house and public school building, all of brick; but what on earth keeps up the town?
48142I ca n''t recall it all now, but after a while it was arranged and the man asked:"What do you want for this?"
48142I choked them down the best I could and finally said:"Yes, sir but how did you know it?"
48142I looked at the astonished lady at the end of the room and stammered out:"Is this Mrs. Edmondson?
48142I said,"How far is it to Newton?"
48142I said:"How can a man be otherwise than loyal when he comes from Beloit, Wis.?
48142I said:"How far is it from Newton now?"
48142I said:"Is there no ferry there?"
48142I said:"Mrs. Edmondson, do you remember a boy coming here two years ago and hiring a horse and buggy to go out to Garlandsville?"
48142I suppose it will be all right with you?"
48142Immediately he took my breath by saying:"You are lately from California, are n''t you?"
48142In signing my name, he asked:"Are you one of the Alabama Crumptons?"
48142Is there anybody living near here, on whom it would not be an imposition, who might let me rest until Monday morning?"
48142ONE who travels and observes could write letters indefinitely about what he sees and hears, but the question is:"How long will the readers stand it?"
48142Resuming the conversation, he said:"How is it that you are afoot?"
48142Seeing me crying in affectionate, helpless distress, the fellow had the heartless bad taste to exultingly ask:"What do you think of that, young man?"
48142Taking dinner with a farmer, who was evidently in sympathy with the Southern people, he said:"How are you going to get across the river?"
48142The next question was:"What is the name of the lecture?"
48142The next question would have been:"Do you know a young fellow by the name of Crumpton, lately from California?"
48142Was it possible, I thought, that somebody had found out my secret and had sent this chap aboard to look me out and arrest me when I reached Aspinwall?
48142What do you say?"
48142What else does man want than that which he can find in Arizona?
48142What is the attraction?
48142What was I to do?
48142What would Alabama farmers think of running a plow with six and eight horses attached?
48142Who in Alabama does not know him, and among us all, whose life has not been touched to some extent by the influence of his?
48142Why he was there I never did know, but when I had finished my speech, he said:"Did you say your name was Crumpton?"
6077Do you promise me,she said,"upon the word of a Mason, that when you arrive at Bear Valley, you will come back and get my children?"
6077What is the use,he would urge,"of my making a statement?
6077After what had recently happened, could anything be more touching than these acts of kindness of the Indians?
6077Are they not strangely pathetic and beautiful?
6077But on one sheet what can I say?
6077But what was one small deer among so many famished people?
6077Can any one imagine the joy these footprints gave us?
6077Christian and Mary Brunner An Enchanting Home"Ca n''t You Keep Both of Us?"
6077Could a situation more desolate or deplorable be imagined?
6077Did all reach the valley?
6077Did you boil the flesh?
6077Did you know that he was a Mason?
6077Do you think a man would be such a miscreant, such a damnable fiend, such a caricature on humanity, as to kill this lone woman?
6077Does the truth require the narration of the sickening minutiae of the terrible transactions of these days?
6077Flying?
6077Had he starved by the way?
6077Had the Indians killed him?

6077Is Mr. Glover living?
6077Is Mr. Glover the same sort of Mason we had in Springfield?
6077Is dear mamma living?
6077Is there a mind so narrow, so uncharitable, that it can censure these poor dying people for the acts of this terrible day?
6077Left alone in the snow- mantled forests of the Sierra, what were this man''s emotions?
6077McCutchen might come, because he left dear ones with the train, but would Stanton return?
6077Meantime, how fared it with those who were pressing forward toward the settlements?
6077Mr. or Mrs. Foster, whose baby boy was at the cabin?
6077Mrs. McCutchen, who left one?
6077Or would it be Mary Graves or Mrs. Fosdick, who had left mother and family?
6077She turned suddenly to Mr. Glover, and asked,"Are you a Mason?"
6077Should he see her die the most terrible of deaths without attempting to rescue her?
6077Some one asked,''What kind of tracks human?''
6077The entire party?
6077Was ever a more generous act recorded?
6077Was he answering her, or the unseen spirits that even then were beckoning him to the unknown world?
6077Was he dead?
6077Was he struggling to relieve his starving family, or lying stark and dead''neath the snows of the Sierra?
6077Was it murder?
6077Was it reality or delusion?
6077Was there not something noble and grand in the dying advice of this father?
6077Were they at length to perish?
6077What if some families had more than their destitute neighbors?
6077What power of language can indicate the struggle which took place in the minds of this stricken family?
6077What was it?
6077What, if there was sometimes a shade of selfishness, or an act of harshness?
6077What, then, did she endure who saw this cruel sight?
6077When his name was called, he made no answer until some one said to him:''Stark, wo n''t you vote?''
6077Where, one asks in wonder and reverence, did she get the strength and courage for all this?
6077Who can picture the agony, the horror, the dreary desolation of such a death?

6077Would it be Eddy, whose wife and two children were behind?
6077Would it be Mrs. Pike, who left two babes?
6077Would it find the emigrants?
6077Would n''t it be a blessing if I did?"
6077Would she herself, with all her endurance and resisting love, live to see it?
6077Would they return?
6077Would you know more of the shuddering details?
6077Would you know the name of this man, this hero?

29543Wo n''t you take her back and give me another?
29543Yes, I know, but suppose you get sick in that uninhabited country; who will take care of you?
29543You came to stay with us, did n''t you?
29543_ Mika tik eh_[1] clams?
29543And yet, am I sure that at some points I did not abuse him?
29543Besides, did we not have plenty of fresh butter, from the milk of our own cows, churned every day in the can by the jostling of the wagon?
29543Burns?"
29543But how could I go and leave wife and two babies on our island home?
29543But how were we to see these-- to us-- unexplored waters?
29543But if we could sell produce higher, might we not well lower our standard of an ideal farm?
29543But of what should we build it?
29543But what about going to Oregon when springtime came?
29543But what was the use of stopping here?
29543But where were the camp fires?
29543CHAPTER THIRTEEN MOVING FROM THE COLUMBIA TO PUGET SOUND"CAN I get home tonight?"
29543Could I go on ahead, procure a wagon box, and start a ferry of my own?
29543Could he?
29543Could it be possible my folks had been taken sick and had been removed?
29543Could it be the camp I was searching for?
29543Could they do it?
29543Did I chastise him?
29543Did my mother whip me?
29543Did the cougar hurt me?
29543Did you ever have creepers run up your back and right to the roots of your hair, and nearly to the top of your head?
29543Do you say that we endured great hardships?
29543Do you wonder why?
29543FOOTNOTES:[ 6] Are you afraid of the rapid water?
29543Had I not been rebuffed at the first by a number of business men who pushed the subject aside with,"I have no time to look into it"?
29543Had n''t I been compelled to pass several towns where not even three persons could be found to act on the committee?
29543Had they not experienced the joys of the sugar camp while"stirring off"the lively, creeping maple sugar?
29543How could we be farmers if we did not have land?
29543How far should I have to go?
29543I doan''like to ask you, but ca n''t you git the old boss to put up somethin''on your work?"
29543I might have said virtues, too-- and why not?
29543I was aroused from my nap by Oliver''s exclaiming,"What is that?"
29543If an animal always does his duty and is faithful and industrious, why not recognize this character, even if he is"nothing but an ox"?
29543If others could cross in wagon beds, why could n''t we do likewise?
29543If they could not get over with their wagons, could they get the women and children through safely?
29543Is it any wonder that the old trail was worn so deep that even now in places it looks like a great canal?
29543Might they not pass by and be on the way down the Columbia River before I could reach the main immigrant trail?
29543Now the question was, what about the lower crossing?
29543One of the women of the party exclaimed, when she first saw it,"Have we come to the jumping- off place at last?"
29543One of these was,"When do you expect to go to school?"
29543Or should I find them at all?
29543Or the little groups off on the hillside to bury the dead?
29543Shall I send you money?
29543Shall we say that ten per cent fell on the way?
29543Should we camp here and spy out the land, or should we go forward and see what lay before us?
29543Should we now retrace our steps?
29543Should we turn around and go back?
29543Sugar?
29543Suppose the old skipper should discharge me for asking for wages before the end of the week?
29543Tea?
29543The doe soon disappeared, but the buck came near the road and stood gazing at us in wonderment, as if to ask,"Who the mischief are you?"
29543The hallooing for lost children?
29543Then the question arose, how should they know when they would reach the falls?
29543Then there are the fish and the clams and oysters, and--""But what about the land for the claim?"
29543There are ships and timber camps and the hotels, and--""Where do they get the money?"
29543Unexpectedly the President asked,"Where is your team?
29543Was I merciful then, or did I exact more than I ought?
29543Was I scared, did you say?
29543What about the wife and baby alone in the cabin, with the deep timber at the rear and a heavy jungle of brush in front?
29543What became of that baby?
29543What channel should we take?
29543What shall I say of that October drive from the home near Indianapolis to Eddyville, Iowa, in the delightful atmosphere of Indian summer?
29543What should I do-- abandon the work?
29543What should I do?
29543What time do you get up?"
29543What were they to do?
29543What would be the plight of my people when found?
29543What would become of his family if justice was meted out to him?
29543When could I find out?
29543Where are you going, and what are you here for?"
29543Where on earth did you come from?
29543Where the sound of the din of bells?
29543Where was the herd of gaunt cattle?
29543Who can say that they were not as happy as if they had seen the whole world?
29543Why?
29543Without loss of time my inquiry was made:"Do you want any men on board this ship?"
29543Would Davenport, who had bought the Columbia River claims, pay in the fall?
29543Would they be able to discover the falls in time to make a landing?
11146Be you Eliza?
11146Do your parents like it there?
11146How can we provide for ourselves and these little sisters?
11146How soon can we get there?
11146What next?
11146Where is Elitha?
11146Ah, how could we believe it?
11146And had I not heard lonely miners tell of times when they gladly would have walked ten miles to shake hands and talk a few moments with a child?
11146And would peace and happiness come to us there?
11146Another asked,"How do you like him?"
11146Away where?
11146Be they well, and doing well?''
11146But on one sheet what can I say?
11146CHAPTER XIII A FATEFUL CABIN-- MRS. MURPHY GIVES MOTHERLY COMFORT-- THE GREAT STORM-- HALF A BISCUIT-- ARRIVAL OF THIRD RELIEF--"WHERE IS MY BOY?"
11146Did I look old fashioned?
11146Did I not remind him of his own little girl?
11146Do n''t you remember?
11146Do n''t you think it would be better for you to live with your sister, and grandma could have some real German children to live here?
11146Do you think there was ever colder, stronger winds than them that whistled and howled around our camp in the Sierras?"
11146Does not each succeeding day''s entry in that journal disclose the party''s forgetfulness of its declared mission to the mountains?
11146Dost thou not remember, I told thee that I would take care of everything until thy return, and then would not be a burden to thee longer?
11146Had she not sent me away to save me, and asked God, our Heavenly Father, to take care of me?
11146Hard feelings or ill will we have none against you; and why should I not forgive little troubles that are past and gone by?
11146Harm a hair of that good man''s head?
11146How can I describe that fateful cabin, which was dark as night to us who had come in from the glare of day?
11146How could I believe his cruel words?
11146How could I know that we were heading for the safe slope up the bank where we landed?
11146How did it happen?
11146How was it done?
11146I was certain that brother and sister had come for us, and the absorbing query was,"How did they happen to arrive at this particular time?"
11146I, being the larger, finally asked,"What''s your name?"
11146In amazement she asked,"Eliza, where are you going?"
11146In exuberant delight we exclaimed,"Oh, grandma, how did you learn to make such wonderful things?"
11146In surprise he listened, then asked,"But are n''t you at all anxious to see your sister and little niece?"
11146Is it any wonder that in later years when my mind reverted to those days, I almost questioned my identity?
11146Me go, you go?"
11146Meanwhile how fared it at Starved Camp?
11146She stirred, then drew back, looked up into my face and asked,"Who be you?"
11146Should his wife and babes die while he stood guard over those who would no longer help themselves?
11146Thou wouldst not read all in the letters from thy fine sisters?
11146To drive up the cows?
11146Touched by her wistful gaze, I exclaimed,"Grandma, do n''t you know me?"
11146Was his great effort to come to naught?
11146Was it culpable, or cannibalistic to seek and use the only life- saving means left them?
11146What more could be wished?
11146When I first asked him to make a statement which I could reduce to writing he urged:"What is the use of making a statement?
11146Whereupon Miss Magdalena turned to me and asked,"Do you live in Sacramento, Miss Donner?"
11146Who better than survivors knew the heart- rending circumstances of life and death in those mountain camps?
11146Who can picture my delight when Georgia got back and told me of all she had seen?
11146Who can wonder that I then resolved that,"When I grow to be a woman I shall tell the story of my party so clearly that no one can doubt its truth"?
11146Who could be braver or tenderer than she, as she prepared us to go forth with strangers and live without her?
11146Who could foresee that it would come earlier, fall deeper, and linger longer, that season than for thirty years before?
11146Who could peer into the near future and read between its lines the greater suffering which Mr. Hardcoop had escaped, or the trials in store for us?
11146Who would not have done what Reed did?
11146Why did you not go and speak to him?
11146Will you go there?"
11146With the best of intentions?
11146Would it not have ordered more horses to meet it at the lower end of Bear Valley for the return trip?
11146Would she take us three to live with her on that cattle ranch twenty- five miles by bridle trail from the Fort?
11146Yet, who could say that harm did not emanate from that bar?
11146You do know my children?
11146You want to know how Flower is coming on: had you not better come and see for yourself?
11146can it be?"
44671All right,said Jack,"but would n''t you rather fire?
44671And how have you been getting on yourself, Bat?
44671And if I should have a son, and ever want to bring him out here and show him the things that I saw when I was a boy, he could not see them?
44671And what are you going to do this season, Hugh?
44671Big mountains, ai n''t they, son?
44671But is n''t there danger that the bull will throw him off, and catch him and kill him?
44671But why is that?
44671But, Hugh,said Jack,"are n''t there laws forbidding people to set the timber on fire?"
44671Do you know, boys,Hugh continued,"I''ve about made up my mind what we''d better do?
44671Do you remember how I cut off that sheep''s head?
44671Everything all right, Joe?
44671Have some more water, Dowling?
44671Have they seen any Sioux lately?
44671Have you got your glasses with you, son?
44671Have you seen anything of Hugh?
44671He had horns, Hugh,Jack said,"and if I should be able to find him to- morrow, I could bring those in, could n''t I?"
44671How big is it, Joe?
44671How was it?
44671I do n''t know, Hugh,said Jack;"what do you think the chances are?
44671I expect you picked out a heifer, did n''t you?
44671Is it worth while taking any of it along?
44671It is n''t a very good place for that, is it?
44671It seems to me that elk are''most everywhere, and I suppose they''ll always be here, wo n''t they?
44671Jack,said Hugh,"do you suppose you can carry both of these little bear hams?
44671Now, Joe,said Jack,"which of us shall shoot?
44671Now,he said,"do you boys want to go up and watch for bear again to- night?"
44671O Hugh,said Jack,"do you think we got''em all?"
44671Oh, where are they, Hugh? 44671 Pity you did n''t kill your moose,"he continued;"what do you think was the matter?"
44671Sure?
44671That means ten days then, Hugh, does it?
44671That''s a good story, Hugh,said Jack,"but do you suppose the dancing of the White Cow Society really brought the buffalo?"
44671This is a great elk country, is n''t it, Hugh?
44671This used to be a great place for fur, did n''t it Hugh?
44671Watch him,said Joe,"he''s a pretty good herder, is n''t he?
44671Well, Hugh, did you ever see two bulls fight?
44671Well, Hugh,continued Jack,"what does Assinaboine mean?
44671Well, Jack,said Joe,"what are you going to do now?
44671Well, boys,said Hugh,"what do you want to do?
44671Well, but Hugh,said Jack,"what''s going to become of all the game?
44671Well, how can we get at him?
44671Well, what did they do for smallpox, Hugh? 44671 Well, what is down timber, Hugh?"
44671Well,said Jack, as Hugh''s form grew smaller and smaller in the distance,"what do you suppose this means, Joe?"
44671Well,said Jack,"which one of us shall go?
44671Well,said Jack,"why do n''t they go after the thieves?"
44671What about the hostiles, Joe?
44671What are you fellows laughing at?
44671What do you mean, Hugh?
44671What do you say, Joe, does that suit you?
44671What kept you?
44671What kind of meat did you use when you were dragging the bait?
44671What time is it, Hugh, do you think?
44671What tribe are they related to?
44671What''s that house that I see up there, Hugh? 44671 When are the cubs born?"
44671Where are you goin'', young fellow; you and that old man I see you talking with?
44671Where are you going, and what are you going to do-- hunting or trapping, or what?
44671Where do you suppose Hugh will camp, Hezekiah?
44671Where''s the camp Hezekiah?
44671Why Hugh,said Jack,"do you mean to tell me that this is old Fort Union?"
44671Why, Hugh, is that the Musselshell?
44671Why, son, did n''t you know that? 44671 Why, sure,"said Hugh;"why not do that?
44671Wo n''t be good for anything,said Jack;"how do you mean?
44671Yes,said Hugh,"I reckon that has something to do with it; but how did you climb yesterday?
44671Yes,said Hugh,"have n''t you ever seen a bull do that before?"
44671''Shall we shoot?''
44671After camp had been made, the horses attended to, and supper eaten, Jack said to Hugh,"Are there many moose in this country, Hugh?"
44671After they had unpacked their animals and made camp, Hugh said to Jack,"Son, have you ever been here before?
44671Ai n''t you the young man that was with General Custer in the Black Hills, and afterwards scouted for Miles, down on the Yellowstone?
44671Are you ready?"
44671As he came in front of the lodge, Hugh said to him,"Hello, Joe, what have you got there, a jack rabbit?"
44671As he walked up to the fire, Hugh said,"Well, here you are, eh?
44671As the visitor rose to go, he looked about the lodge and said,"So this is an Indian lodge, is it?
44671At last Jack turned to Joe and said,"What do you say, Joe, shall we go any further?
44671But Jack demurred, and said:"Hold on, Hugh; are you going to stay here and meet this man?
44671CHAPTER XII WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE ELK?
44671Did you hurry on and try to get to the top of each cliff quick, going as fast as you could, and then stop and rest for a long time?"
44671Do n''t you know that in 1843 Audubon, the naturalist, and a party of his friends, came up here to find out a lot about the Western birds and animals?
44671Do n''t you know, he said there were n''t horses enough in Wyoming to pay for our lives?
44671Do you agree to my words?''
44671Do you expect if you leave meat out on the mountain that bears, or wolves, or Indians, or white people either, are going to pass it by and not use it?
44671Do you mean to say that if I come out here twenty years from now there wo n''t be anything for me to hunt?"
44671Do you see anything that you recognize?"
44671Do you see anything that you recognize?"
44671Has it any real meaning, like some of these other names of Indian tribes that you tell me about?"
44671How did they cure themselves?"
44671How do you suppose those bears knew that you were coming back?"
44671Hugh hailed them, when they got in, with an expression of surprise, saying,"Why, you done the whole job, did n''t you?
44671Hugh paused, and Jack asked:"Does any one know how they came to separate, Hugh?
44671I feel as fresh to- day as if I had n''t been in the saddle for a week; do n''t you, Pete?"
44671I guess you''d better, because I do n''t think you have ever killed a big ram, have you?"
44671Is n''t there going to be any left after a few years?"
44671Is that so?"
44671Is that the way down timber is made here?"
44671Is there any tradition about it?"
44671Jack called out to him,"What are they doing, Billy?"
44671Jack saw that Hugh was making fun of him, and said,"Well, how shall we take them, Hugh?"
44671Jack slapped his thigh with his hand, as he said,"That would be bully, would n''t it?
44671Jack stopped his horse and said to Hugh:"Hugh, is there anything in that story that porcupines throw their quills?
44671Joe said to Jack,"Jack, have you seen all this old beaver work up north of the camp?"
44671Nobody lives here now, does there?"
44671Now tell me, who are the Mandans?"
44671Now, how do you suppose those Assinaboines knew that White Cow had been killed?
44671Shall I turn Pawnee loose, or shall I tie him up here by old Baldy?"
44671Shall we keep on climbing, and try to get up to the top, or shall we walk along one of these benches?
44671Shall we take horses, Hugh?"
44671That night in the lodge, as they were getting ready for bed, Hugh said to Jack,"Son, have you ever been through this country before?
44671That night, Joe said to Jack,"Say, Jack, do you want to see some fun to- morrow?"
44671That''s the time bears come out, is n''t it?"
44671The next morning while Hugh was getting breakfast he said to Jack:"Son, why do n''t you kill some meat?
44671Then he turned to the girl, and said to her''Have I spoken well, my daughter?
44671They seem warm and comfortable, but are they not rather smoky?"
44671Try to remember that, will you?"
44671Were his horns big?"
44671Were you ever badly scared by a bear?
44671What creek is it?"
44671What do you say boys, shall we all watch here to- night?"
44671What do you say?
44671What do you say?"
44671What do you think?"
44671What shall we do?
44671What sort of a place is it to wait?"
44671When did you calculate to watch?"
44671When they said that, Eagle Ribs said,''Why do you talk about doing that?
44671Where did you come from?
44671Who are the Gros Ventres, and who are the Mandans?
44671Who did you hear it from, Joe?"
44671Who is it that is suffering?''
44671Will any of them come back after one being killed last night?"
44671Would either of you rather go any other way, or will you leave it that way?"
44671Would n''t you like to kill the old bear?"
44671Would you like to hear it, Jack?"
44671You know where it is, Hugh?"
44671You remember that tame one we had down at the ranch?
44671You''ve seen those things, have n''t you?
44671or was it your brother?
44671said Jack,"has the owl anything to do with the weather?"
44671said Jack,"if we could only know about all these things that happened, and what the history of each tribe was, would n''t it be interesting?"
42214Ai n''t nobody livin''here? 42214 And do n''t you believe Balaam''s ass spoke to him?"
42214And do you mean to tell me,I said,"that you believe honestly you can see the ghost, or the spirit of the departed?"
42214And when I crawled out o''bed and went to the stalls to see what ailed''em----"Ailed the petitions?
42214And why?
42214And''fore that?
42214Any stove and fuel?
42214Are all your hens dry also?
42214Are there any petrified elephants in this menagerie?
42214Are these all yours?
42214Are you married?
42214Are you sure it is?
42214Are you sure you know where you are at?
42214Brush and comb and tooth brush?
42214But Coonskin,I asked, looking up from my writing,"do you know where we are?"
42214But what on earth did you want of him?
42214Ca n''t you help her out of her suffering? 42214 Ca n''t you suggest something more sensible?"
42214Can you fill the hall?
42214Can you spare me a quart of milk, Miss?
42214Did n''t ye have no shootin''irons along?
42214Did n''t you know that if at six o''clock you set the alarm for eight in the morning, it would ring at eight in the evening?
42214Do n''t you find it pretty cold traveling these days?
42214Do n''t you wish you had taken the fish- line off your rod?
42214Do yer haster go through this kind of business every bridge yer come ter?
42214Do you believe the whale swallowed Jonah?
42214Do you realize that you have swallowed a postage stamp?
42214Do you take tramps at this hotel?
42214Does that suit you?
42214Does yer dorg bite?
42214Doos them dogs bite-- yes?
42214Dost not hear the neighing of horses, the blare of the trumpets, the beating of the drums?
42214Excuse me for interrupting,I said politely;"but my jackass----""Yer what?"
42214Extra shoes already broken to your feet?
42214Extra suit of clothes?
42214Extra suit of underwear and handkerchiefs?
42214Fresh?
42214Goin''ter show to- night?
42214Have n''t you heard?
42214Have the men got a woman stowed away in their luggage?
42214Have you fellows lost anything?
42214Have you got any eggs?
42214Hold a minute!--Be ye travelin''er goin''somewhere?
42214How big a cornfield have you?
42214How can I manage the machine while riding a jackass?
42214How did it happen?
42214How did it happen?
42214How is it your bear?
42214How long ago were they here? 42214 How many apples did you cram into each dumpling?"
42214How much can I make at the dollar house?
42214How much do you ask a dozen?
42214How much is it?
42214How much?
42214How the d-- l can we carry these?
42214I suppose you make out they are the stone mummies of Adam and Eve?
42214If de whole blamed country''s after yuse, do yuse tink I was goin''to let yuse be catched if I could help it? 42214 In a hole, eh?
42214Indeed? 42214 Is it necessary to pile on the donkey in that fashion?"
42214Is n''t it worth fifteen cents to know a fool when you see one?
42214Jack?
42214Locate the claim, Doc?
42214Mac A''Rony, please keep your ears still for one moment, will you?
42214Make pleasant?
42214No?
42214Not with them little burros?
42214Only a strain of the shoulder muscles,said he;"must have run- hop- skip- and- jumped to get such a strain-- does he ever play golf?
42214Paintin''what?
42214Per- per- perhaps you might mix the two safely-- mightn''t you?
42214Phwat do yez want, ye poppinjay?
42214Prospectin''?
42214Purty sad, was n''t it boys?
42214Pyth( hic) thagoras Pod,I answered, civilly; and offering him the key, added,"Wo n''t you open the( hic) door for me?"
42214See all the thrifty- looking wagon- teams hitched on the two sides of the Court House Square?
42214Seventh floor?
42214Shall I give him some more?
42214Sir?
42214Tell me, Mister,I said, after walking several blocks,"where are you taking me, anyhow?"
42214That do n''t make no difference, and I do n''t intend arguing the question,came the positive retort;"I say he''s mine-- who says he hain''t?"
42214That so?
42214Then how do you account for such high kicking?
42214There is no fire in the front- room stove, is there? 42214 They''re after me, ai n''t they?"
42214Up where?
42214Wall, what''s it wuth to take you both in fer the night and feed ye?

42214Where''s the Chief of Police?
42214Where?
42214Which way you traveling?
42214Who are you for heaven''s sake? 42214 Who be you, young feller?"
42214Who be you?
42214Who would have thought it? 42214 Whose jackasses be them outside?"
42214Why did n''t you inform me before?
42214Why were you gone so long?
42214Why, is sunrise up there any finer than it is down here?
42214Why,I asked,"is it possible that you do not recollect your old classmate; the famous pillow fight at S--''s Hotel?
42214Why,I said, as with astonishment,"have n''t you ever heard of it before?
42214Why?
42214Why?
42214Will you allow me to sit in the electric chair?
42214Will you have a piece?
42214Will you send a message to the Southern Pacific''s head office at my expense?
42214Wo n''t you sit down and have some ice cream and cake?
42214Would n''t your pard have a drink?
42214Yer th''feller what''s goin''to Fran Sanfrisco, hain''t yer?
42214You are n''t going before dinner?
42214You big fool, ca n''t you see that sign up there?
42214You ordered Bridget to call us at eight in the morning, did n''t you?
42214You''re Mr. Pye Pod, are n''t you? 42214 Your first experience at placer mining?"
42214Your name is K----?
42214A fat old buck named Ne- tah- twy- tuck( old one), on being presented, extended me his hand, muttering,"How do?"
42214A half mile on a farmer opened the door and yelled:"Pretty cold, hain''t it, Professor?"
42214After a familiar"hello"to the landlord, he eyed me searchingly, and added,"Your name is Pod, ai n''t it?"
42214After this freak was roped to my saddle and we had proceeded a little way, I asked,"Excuse me, friend, but what stock did you descend from?"
42214Again, what is her name?"
42214And what did he say?"
42214At dusk a farmer inquired,"Has n''t it been a pretty frigid day?"
42214At length, a squeaky female voice called from an upstairs window:"Who be ye?"
42214Be you the gentleman bound fer''Frisco with a mule?"
42214Better go''long-- fine women going ter be there-- here''s plug, if ye want a chew-- no?
42214But I says to him,"Why, what are you yoursen but a mongrel?
42214But how about Mac?
42214But how can they help me?
42214Ca n''t you see it all round ye?
42214Ca n''t you see it?"
42214Can you not?"
42214Certainly you are not surprised?"
42214Chinese?"
42214Coonskin,"said he,"what do you think?
42214Could I believe my eyes?
42214Did n''t you recognize him?
42214Did you ever hear an ass bray in any confined space?
42214Did you ever try it?
42214Did you, Hank?"
42214Do n''t you know dried fruit swells?"
42214Do n''t you know me?"
42214Do you see the moral?"
42214Does n''t he do more kicking than all the rest put together?"
42214Every countenance said plainly,"How did it drift in?"
42214Got''nough to go round?"
42214Has yus got a sock yuse kin lend me?"
42214Have you traveled it-- in summer?
42214He eyed Pod severely, and glancing at my up- turned face, inquired:"What''s in them there boxes, Mister?"
42214How many kin ye suck at a sittin''?"
42214How much am I offered?"
42214I entered the kitchen with hat in hand and politely said,"How to do?"
42214I had not more than finished my business with my courier, when a rustic- looking boy rode up on a white donkey, and called to me,"Want ter trade?"
42214I said,"I believe so; yours is what, do n''t it?"
42214I saw her, I heard her, I felt her; is n''t that proof enough?"
42214I stopped at a farm house and inquired:"Have you seen two jackasses strolling this way?"
42214I walked into a Jewish clothier''s, and, selecting a pair of corduroys, inquired,"How much?"
42214I was so dead drunk when the daughter came that she glanced at me and asked in a whisper,"Is he dead?"
42214If I know''d a donkey wot would n''t go To see Mrs. Jarley''s wax- work show, Do you think I''d wollop him?
42214Indian turnips?"
42214Is that a bargain?
42214It was customary for me to question the custodian of hats in this manner:"Is this my hat?"
42214Like to dance, eh?
42214Missing quotation mark inserted after"moral?".
42214My master did not answer, but when the Mexican came around again, he said to him,"Porque manana?"
42214None nearer?"
42214Or fighting Indians?
42214Or make him ride a bucking bronco?
42214Or was some demon upon me?
42214Or what?
42214Or what?"
42214Pod seemed disappointed and, handing the envelope to me, said,"Here, Mac, what do you think of it?"
42214Pod shouted;"will you loan me that machine a moment?
42214Pod?"
42214Prospecting?
42214S.?"
42214Says I,''Where''s my pillow?''
42214Should n''t think a crazy man could make a decent pie, though; did he do it all alone, without anybody watching him?"
42214Should we go east or west?
42214Some distance further a fat German drove by in a gig and said:"It vash cold-- don''t it?"
42214Soon she reappeared with a crystal jar of the long stick candy I desired, and dumping a pound of it on the scales, inquired,"How much do you wish?"
42214That was an awful moment, What should I do?
42214The Professor asked for a drink in many varieties of expression, concluding with a desperate"Porque Manana?"
42214The animals having been dosed, I was about to question myself"What next?"
42214The man laughed, then, looking sober, inquired,"Where yer from, may I ask?"
42214The men at the saw- mill said we should see bear in this forest, but where are they?
42214The mock fight with our old chum, Mike H-- n, in my room, when you frightened the boy from West Virginia half to death with--?"
42214The remark so tickled my vanity that I nibbled at his coat tail, whereupon he turned to me and inquired,"What kind of a donkey are you?
42214The rest of us hid our faces; but I persisted,"Who''s your father?"
42214The smiling outlaw now looked grave, and turning to his comrade asked, loud enough for me to hear:"Shall we go in and cook?"
42214Then a woman drove past and tossed me the comforting reminder:"Do n''t you find it awfully cold?"
42214Then recovering her mental equilibrium, she asked, while refilling the jar from the scales:"Will you take it with you, or have it sent?"
42214Then the man asked:"How far is it?"
42214Then the question arose, how could he safely carry the honey?
42214Then the stately gentleman addressed the clerk:"Who in---- is that fellow?
42214Then, fearing lest I might have created the impression of begging, I asked;"can you sell some?
42214Then, pulling a pen out of the vegetable pen- stand which squinted"How to do?"
42214To utter them would be to ask, why to- morrow?
42214Travelin''er goin''somewhere?"
42214Understand me?
42214Understand me?
42214Understand me?"
42214Understand me?"
42214Understand me?"
42214Understand me?"
42214Understand me?"
42214Understand?"
42214Was Pod bewitched?
42214Was this really midwinter''s night dream?
42214We sticks togedder, we do, tru t''ick an''thin, an''when de sheriff t''inks he is chasin''yuse one way, we''s chasin''ourselves de udder way, see?"
42214Were we all to find a refuge in that half- buried cabin?
42214What be ye at a- pesterin''round these parts with a herd of wild jackasses?"
42214What could I do?
42214What could I do?
42214What do you say, Coonskin?"
42214What made Balaam celebrated as an astronomer?
42214What should we do for drinking water?
42214What''s he been livin''on?
42214What''s his name?"
42214What''s that she calls us?"
42214Where were we to find shelter at such a time and place?
42214Where''d they go?"
42214Where''re you bound?"
42214Where''re you from, and how did you get here?
42214Which is the trail to Hamilton?"
42214Who be you?
42214Who can tell a man from manners?
42214Who can tell him by his close?
42214Who could Bridget be?
42214Who dared touch the wild bear''s skin Ye slumbered on while life was in?
42214Why do all the idle clerks gaze at you so longingly from the shop- windows?
42214Why should I wish a new hat?
42214Wonder what they thought they saw?
42214Would they shoot at his heels and make him dance?
42214Ye did n''t cal''luate ter find a New Yirk er New Orlins, did ye?
42214You are the journalist I''ve read about,--said to be well fixed-- first visit to Chicago?"
42214ca n''t yer lick him through?"
42214do you want the earth?"
42214or was it because I had been a recluse so long that most anybody wearing dresses fascinated my starved optics?
42214said he;"See those squads of grangers standing around waiting for something to turn up?
42214see?"
40467''Drive the wagon into deep water, Uncle?'' 40467 ''Gone?''
40467''Got yer grub and thet shooter?'' 40467 ''I''m to drive''em over?"
40467''Whar''s the ford start?'' 40467 ''You?''

40467But the conductor?
40467But then, what''d be the use? 40467 But why give them a chance?"
40467But why? 40467 But,"argued Abe,"ef that''s the case, why have they waited?
40467But-- but how on airth did yer get thar, up in the lantern?
40467Dead?
40467Dead?
40467Did I hear someone say it was not there? 40467 Did n''t I say as I howled with pain when the flint struck me?
40467Did n''t I say as much?
40467Did n''t I say so?
40467Did n''t I tell yer to be goin''?
40467Do I look as if I could do anything?
40467Do yer smoke, young''un?
40467Do yer want a job?
40467Do you think he''ll see us easy as we lie here?
40467Do you think they''ll come to find him?
40467Ever pulled a trigger afore?
40467Exact?

40467How?
40467Howdy, Seth? 40467 Howdy, stranger?"
40467I suppose they found those two men and then had a palaver, as you call it?
40467Is there anyone else whom you suspect of complicity in the escape?
40467Jest like that, aer it?
40467Kin yer see the fire?
40467Kin yer shoot?
40467Kin you tackle the lot alone, Tom?'' 40467 Kinder surprised at the look of us, eh?"

40467Say, now, yer ai n''t feelin''quite so bad? 40467 Say, siree, who may yer be, and where aer yer goin''?
40467Shot?
40467So Lord Tom''s dead? 40467 Soft?"
40467Supposing the wind does turn?
40467Sure? 40467 Tell me, was he ever a miner?
40467Thar was more down thar then?
40467That is when we heard their cries, I suppose?
40467The time? 40467 Then why not get to at it?"
40467Then you finished''em?
40467Then you got back to the ranches?
40467Then you think we are to be attacked?
40467There was a critter thar, war there?
40467They attacked that night?
40467They tried their little game in the morning? 40467 They''ll follow?"

40467Well? 40467 Whar was you?"
40467Whar''s the hit?
40467Whar? 40467 What about the Injuns?"

40467What is it?

40467What''ll yer do?
40467What''s amiss?
40467What''s that?
40467What''s this? 40467 When does she start?"
40467Where away?
40467Who said there was any gulling?
40467Who''s the other? 40467 Why no use?"
40467Why?
40467With Injuns round about?
40467Would your best friend be able to recognize you any better than mine would be?
40467Ye''ve killed him-- eh? 40467 Yer bolted again?"
40467Yer give that feller pepper?

40467Yer hear the critters?

40467Yes?
40467You aer thinkin''that boy''s innocent?
40467You are sure it is there, ai n''t yer, friends?
40467You called him that?
40467You think they will soon find us, now they know we are in the wood?
40467You were held up by a gang of robbers?
40467You''ve struck it, eh? 40467 ''Aer yer ready, Bill?'' 40467 ''Clean slick across?'' 40467 ''Does it run straight over thar from whar we''re standin'', or whar in thunder does it begin?'' 40467 ''Whar is he?'' 40467 ''What am I ter do?'' 40467 ''What thin?'' 40467 ''Who aer they?'' 40467 ''You''ve been up thar on the ledge?'' 40467 A bit shook up and so on? 40467 A kind of ambush?
40467Aer it all true what he says?
40467Aer it true as you stood beside him through thick and thin?"
40467Aer yer a fool?"
40467Aer yer afraid?"
40467Aer yer got yer knife, lad?"
40467Aer yer sure ye''ve hid up them hosses?"
40467Aer yer sure?

40467Ai n''t I warned yer?
40467Ai n''t that someone movin''?"
40467And ef he was, do yer think I should n''t have spotted it, with him under my eyes day and night?"
40467And had he done so, is it possible that he could still have persevered in his error?
40467And have you any news as to the direction he took?"
40467And he managed to wing yer?"
40467And how''s he ter prove his innocence when he''s cooped up within four walls?
40467And how?"
40467And then what do yer think he did?"
40467And this is the son?
40467And whar does he make for?"
40467And what has been happening?
40467And what sort of a load have yer got, mate?"
40467And why should he walk farther on this particular occasion?
40467And yer could have boarded that as easy as possible?
40467And you?"
40467And, by the way, what''s the name?"
40467Anyone the wuss?"
40467Boy, aer you game ter fight''em?''
40467But better, ai n''t yer?"
40467But what''s the use?
40467But why did the man need that key?
40467Can you hold anything, Steve?"
40467Consider; what are they here for?
40467Could you recognize that''ere chap as came to the forge for the key?"
40467Dead, is he?"
40467Did he actually recognize the young man sitting there apparently so cool, and yet in reality quaking?
40467Did he open that''ere huge mouth of his once we was off?
40467Did he see suspicion there?
40467Did he talk to our mates afore we left the hill?
40467Did he work in these parts some few years ago, and was he notorious for anything in particular?"
40467Did the rascal wing yer?"
40467Did yer get the key?"
40467Did yer hear that?
40467Did yer hear that?"
40467Do I believe you did it?"
40467Do yer foller what happened?"
40467Do yer foller?"
40467Do yer hear them calls?
40467Do yer hear''em?"
40467Do yer know the reason?"
40467Do yer remember the store of scrap, back of the smithy?
40467Do yer see anything, Abe?"
40467Do yer see what I''m drivin''at?"
40467Do yer think as they ai n''t thought of a dash?
40467Do yer think he did as I told him?
40467Ef he comes close, what''ll you do?"
40467Ef that ai n''t clear, what is?"
40467Eh?
40467Eh?"
40467Eh?"
40467Eh?"
40467Eh?"
40467Eh?"

40467Got much dust yerself?"
40467Had any food?"
40467Have yer ever been dead down on yer luck, right clean hard up agin it?"
40467He did the shootin''?"
40467He''s dead too?"
40467Heard it?"
40467How aer yer off for brass?"
40467How do I see anythin''wrong?
40467How do yer look at the proposition?"
40467How long is it sence your chums left fer the settlement?"
40467How much?"
40467How''d it all come about?
40467How''d yer like ter try a shot at''em?"
40467How''d yer manage?"
40467How''s that?"
40467How''s the arm?"
40467How?"
40467Howdy, Steve?"
40467I can kinder count on you?"
40467I suppose the water drained from mountains right over there?"
40467I wonder if----""Got it ready, youngster?"
40467I wonder what made yer think of that?"
40467If I got to shooting this man, where, then, should I be able to obtain evidence of my own innocence?
40467If he had broken the key of his own front door, and so locked himself out, how had he been able to get the impression from the drawer?
40467If this stranger needed a man, why should he, Jack, not accept the post?
40467Is he dead?"
40467Is it probable that he would have thrown himself upon a defenceless youth?
40467Is that not very suggestive of prisoner''s complicity in this crime?
40467Is the wound severe?"
40467Jack, aer yer willing ter do what I suggest?"
40467Jest quit foolin''?"
40467Kin yer guess why?''
40467Met him on the road?"
40467Now what on earth is the meaning of that?"
40467Now, how aer we to get top side of''em?"
40467Now, whar is it?
40467Now, what aer yer going ter do?"
40467Now, what''s ter be done?
40467Number three coach?
40467Once and fer all, aer thar a one here as do n''t think I did it fair?
40467Or low, was it, seeing as you was kinder upside down?
40467Or was it the man himself?
40467Or was that only a morbid fancy?
40467Pain?
40467Perhaps you''ve got a bit of food ter spare, and a glass and a bottle?"
40467Ready?''
40467Savvy?
40467Savvy?
40467Savvy?"
40467Savvy?"
40467Savvy?"
40467Say, Simpkins, will yer come and have a bit of tea with us?
40467Say, ai n''t thet it?"
40467Say, boys, what do yer think''s the latest?
40467Say, stranger, whar do yer fetch the water from?
40467See him?
40467See?"
40467See?"
40467Short of money, lad?"
40467Should he cling to the back of the buggy and give the alarm when they reached the house?
40467Should he fire now?
40467Should he leave the matter?
40467So you''ll make for Californy?
40467So you''ve got that man at last, Carrots?
40467Suppose it''s a case fer the sheriff?"
40467That so?"
40467That''s clear?
40467The hull stockade war blown to matchwood, one would guess, and perhaps the shanty with it?
40467They did their best to draw yer out into the plains?"
40467Wall, aer that a stone?"
40467Wall, do it want decidin''what we aer ter do?"
40467Wall, how''s it ter be done, Tom?"
40467Wall, mates, what''s the tale?"
40467Wall, now, I suppose it is Simpkins that''s disturbed you?"
40467Wall, stranger, what''s amiss?"
40467Wall, what aer it?
40467Wall, what''ll yer do?
40467Wall, youngster, aer yer skeared?"
40467Wall?"
40467Was it a forest mouse, scared by the intruder creeping towards Jack with murderous intent?
40467Was it actually for his front door, and, if so, how did he obtain the wax impression?
40467Was that fair play?
40467Whar does it start, and whar does one have to turn?''
40467Whar have they gone?"
40467Whar''s best to go?"
40467Whar''s the strong box?
40467What are they going to do?"
40467What do yer think, Steve?"
40467What do you say?"
40467What else?"
40467What fer?"
40467What for?
40467What happened?
40467What happened?"
40467What is wrong?"
40467What might you be doin''?"
40467What right had they to interfere with them?
40467What say, Jacob?"
40467What sent them varmints back on their trail so onexpectedly?"
40467What war his partic''lar idea?
40467What will you do?"
40467What''ll you do?"
40467What''ll you do?"
40467What''s brought yer here?"
40467What''s he doin''?''"
40467What''s it all about, lad?
40467What''s it mean?''
40467What''s kept yer?"
40467What''s that I said?
40467What''s the clock?"
40467What''s the driver say?"
40467What''s the news elsewhere?"
40467What''s the row been about?"
40467What''s the trouble?
40467Where am I?"
40467Where are you going, lad?"
40467Who could say?
40467Who will blame the young American that he hesitated to take life?
40467Who''ll come?''
40467Who''s the stranger?"
40467Why should he, Jack Kingsley, not be able to follow in their footsteps?
40467Why, therefore, should these natives of the plain so diligently seek to kill him and Steve?
40467Why, what''s happened?"
40467Will yer come?"
40467Will yer have it?"
40467Will you send for him?"
40467Would he stretch out his hand and take the prisoner?
40467Would you jest mind stepping along this way and handin''it over?
40467Ye''re dead sure he''s done?"
40467Ye''re sure of that?"
40467Yer agreed to them terms, in course?"
40467Yer ai n''t fer the plains?"
40467Yer ai n''t got no tools, perhaps?"
40467Yer do n''t call that wuss, do yer?"
40467Yer do n''t think I waited for''em, do yer?"
40467Yer ketched him a whop?
40467Yer know the game to play, Jacob?"
40467Yer might get wiped out, and then whar should I be?''
40467Yer was right aft thar, close to the truck, warn''t you?
40467Yer would n''t think it, now, would yer?
40467You said it was for the front door?"
40467You''re dead sartin he ai n''t foxin''?
40467aer yer there?"
40467fill it up, will yer?"
27300A week wo n''t make much difference; will it, Tom?
27300A what, sir?
27300Am I going, father?
27300Am I to be punished because I expose a thief?
27300And I ca n''t help thinking, what if they do n''t turn out as well as we expect? 27300 And how much were you earning in Boston-- a thousand dollars?"
27300And the bills?
27300And you have become rich?
27300And you''ll call on us?
27300Any chance of doing anything to- night?
27300Are there any Indians in California?
27300Are there any mouses in California?
27300Are they all in good order?
27300Are they asleep?
27300Are you afraid of becoming an old maid?
27300Are you asleep?
27300Are you associated with this gentleman?
27300Are you going far?
27300Are you happy?
27300Are you his guardian?
27300Are you married?
27300Are you not afraid that I shall follow the example of your Pittsburg roommate?
27300Are you staying at a hotel?
27300Are you sure it do n''t hurt you?
27300Are you up, Graham?
27300Be it so; but about this affair of Tom-- what shall I say to him in the morning?
27300But do you think there is any chance of my being put to the test? 27300 But suppose-- when you are watching-- you should all at once see an Indian, Tom?"
27300Ca n''t you keep quiet, and let a fellow sleep?
27300Can he be relied upon? 27300 Can you do it unobserved?"
27300Carrying the mustang with you? 27300 Could n''t he raise some?"
27300Did n''t he have a quarter, I wonder?
27300Did n''t you feel tempted to escape, too, my boy?
27300Did n''t you want to take any?
27300Did what?
27300Did you hear that, Graham?
27300Do I look glum?
27300Do n''t you think I will?
27300Do n''t you think he is all right?
27300Do you call two dollars a day extravagant?
27300Do you dare to insult gentlemen like us?
27300Do you dare to say I''m drunk?
27300Do you enjoy this mode of travel, Miss Watson?
27300Do you favor his going, then, Mark?
27300Do you go farther than Pittsburg?
27300Do you know what I would be if I lent you this money?
27300Do you know what is in the box, Tom?
27300Do you know, Mr. Graham,he inquired,"how soon the steamer will start after we reach Pittsburg?"
27300Do you know, Tom,he said,"how hard I find it now to pay the interest on the mortgage, and how hopeless I am of ever paying it off?"
27300Do you mean to insult me, sir?
27300Do you mean to say that I robbed you?
27300Do you really expect to find gold?
27300Do you really? 27300 Do you see the double trail?"
27300Do you suspect any one of the theft?
27300Do you think I would wear cowhide boots?
27300Do you think I''m drunk?
27300Do you think he will do well, father?
27300Do you think he will succeed?
27300Do you think there''s as much gold in California as people say?
27300Do you think we would go on without you? 27300 Do you think you shall have to foreclose, father?"
27300Do you think you''ll come home rich?
27300Do you-- think there is any danger of that?
27300Does he feel interested in Tom, or not?
27300Does he put on airs?
27300Does he seem to enjoy the journey?
27300Eh?
27300Exactly, and you want a ticket to go there?
27300For your son?
27300Has he heard from Tom?
27300Have I, Mr. Ferguson? 27300 Have a cigar, Tom?"
27300Have n''t you got a watch?
27300Have you any message from your father?
27300Have you any proof of your statements, my boy, except your own word?
27300Have you any reason for what you say, my boy?
27300Have you anything to do this morning, Tom?
27300Have you been abed long?
27300Have you been out of the stateroom?
27300Have you ever been on a steamboat before?
27300Have you found it?
27300Have you got a quarter, Tom?
27300Have you got the wallet with you now?
27300Have you lost anything lately?
27300Have you paid the interest, Mark?
27300Have you spoken to your father about going there?
27300Have you, sir?
27300He is your roommate, is n''t he?
27300He would n''t be likely to travel all the time, would he?
27300How came you to start for California, my friend?
27300How can I tell?
27300How can you say so, Mark?
27300How do you know but I may be a pickpocket?
27300How far are you going, Miss Watson?
27300How far is he on his way?
27300How far off is California?
27300How is that?
27300How is your father getting along?
27300How long am I to be exiled from civilization?
27300How long do you stay?
27300How long has that been?
27300How long have you been on the force?
27300How long is this strange life going to last?
27300How much are we to pay for our accommodations?
27300How much did you pay for them?
27300How much money do you suppose you will need for this wild- goose expedition?
27300How much money?
27300How much would it have been if I had roomed alone?
27300How much?
27300How shall I carry my money?
27300How soon do you go?
27300How soon?
27300How was that?
27300I do n''t go in rags, do I?
27300I do n''t like his looks; do you?
27300I have n''t asked you to buy any berries, have I?
27300I suppose that''s a pretty good business, sir?
27300I suppose you do wash, now and then, do n''t you?
27300I understand that you are willing to advance the money, Squire Hudson?
27300If he do n''t, how is he going to pay you back the money you lent him?
27300If it had been good, would you have shared with me honorably?
27300Is Tom really going?
27300Is it a high- priced hotel?
27300Is it morning? 27300 Is it possible?
27300Is it the Indians?
27300Is it true that you are going to California?
27300Is it?
27300Is n''t Tom a new acquaintance?
27300Is n''t it my turn, now?
27300Is there any cheap hotel here?
27300Is there any one here who speaks English?
27300Is there anything the matter?
27300Is this the best room you have?
27300Is your party wholly made up?
27300Let me see,said Mrs. Nelson,"how many shirts have you got, Tom?"
27300Madam,said the alderman to the lady who had been robbed,"did you see the boy take your pocketbook?"
27300Miss Watson,said he,"do n''t you feel like having a promenade?"
27300Mr. Peabody,said Captain Fletcher gravely,"will you undertake to recover the horse?
27300Mr. Waterbury,said Tom hurriedly,"do you see that man?"
27300No? 27300 Now, I suppose you have money?"
27300Now, where is this precious acquaintance of ours who got you into this scrape?
27300Oh, where did you get that watch, Tom?
27300Peabody,said Miles,"have you made your will?"
27300Shall I get off my horse?
27300Shall I take the boy along, sir?
27300Shall we room together? 27300 So as to get an appetite for breakfast?"
27300So he warned you against me, did he?
27300Squire Hudson makes this offer to a boy of your age?
27300Suppose Mr. Nelson loses his farm, what will he do?
27300That''s pretty cool, eh, Tom?
27300Then about the wisdom of sending out a boy like Tom, alone; do you think it best?
27300Then the Indians that did it must be near here?
27300Then what do you come here for, anyway, takin''up my time wid comin''to the door, when I''m busy gettin''supper?
27300Then why did you come here to take up my time?
27300Then why did you lend him the money?
27300Then why do n''t you?
27300Then why do you take the liberty of addressing me?
27300Then why should he tell me so?
27300Then will you go back without Dan?
27300Then you are in favor of going on to Cincinnati?
27300Then you counted it?
27300Then you do n''t know anything about him?
27300Then you do n''t live in Pittsburg, sir?
27300Then you expect to make fifty times as much as at home?
27300There are no gold- mines, I suppose, sir?
27300To me?
27300Tom, old boy,he said,"is it you?
27300Tom,said he-- for he sat on the other side of our hero--"won''t you introduce me to your young lady friend?"
27300Was it in a fit of emotional insanity that you relieved the lady of her pocketbook?
27300Was n''t there anything in it?
27300Was there nothing in it?
27300Was your love returned?
27300Well, what is to be done?
27300Well,said he,"suppose I did?"
27300Well,said the latter,"how did you make out with the boy?"
27300Well?
27300Were you as poor as I am?
27300Were you coming to see me?
27300What are you doing out here, Graham?
27300What are your plans, my young friend? 27300 What brings you here?"
27300What do you call yourself?
27300What do you mean, you trollop,he demanded,"by refusing to let the boy see me?
27300What do you mean?
27300What do you think of the prospects in California?
27300What do you think we had better do?
27300What do you want to do with them?
27300What does he deal in?
27300What does it mean?
27300What for?
27300What for?
27300What for?
27300What has my father to do with it?
27300What have you found?
27300What is it?
27300What is that, father?
27300What is that?
27300What is that?
27300What is the amount of your interest?
27300What is the number of your room?
27300What is your name, sir?
27300What is your name?
27300What made you fire?
27300What made you put me on such a vicious beast?
27300What made you think of it?
27300What makes you ask?
27300What makes you look so glum?
27300What makes you think so?
27300What makes you think so?
27300What security have you to offer?
27300What shall I do?
27300What sort of a man, pray, may you be?
27300What time is it?
27300What will Mr. Waterbury think, Jennie?
27300What will he do then?
27300What will this young gentleman think of you?
27300What would the poor fellow do if he should see an Indian?
27300What would you do then, Harry?
27300What would you do with them?
27300What would you have done with the money if you had taken it?
27300What''ll you have, strangers?
27300What''s all this, I say? 27300 What''s all this, hey?
27300What''s that, Tom?
27300What''s the matter?
27300What''s the matter?
27300What''s the row?
27300What''s the use of being nervous? 27300 What''s the use of going to that hateful California?
27300What, Mark, are you in favor of his going so far-- a boy who has never been away from home in his life?
27300What, are you there?
27300What, then, shall be done with the boy? 27300 What?"
27300When did you find out that the money was bogus?
27300When do you have dinner?
27300When you''ve made your pile, Tom-- that''s what they call it, is n''t it?--you''ll come back, wo n''t you?
27300Where am I?
27300Where are the Indians who captured you?
27300Where did it come from?
27300Where did you find it?
27300Where do you live, sir?
27300Where do you live, sir?
27300Where does he keep it?
27300Where was the bank?
27300Where will you find a substitute?
27300Who are you?
27300Who has told you about California?
27300Who is he? 27300 Who says I am drunk?"
27300Who told you that?
27300Who will volunteer?
27300Who''s that talking there?
27300Who''s there?
27300Why did I ever leave Boston?
27300Why did n''t you? 27300 Why did you do it?"
27300Why did you run such a risk, sir?
27300Why do n''t he go on?
27300Why do n''t you tell Fletcher so?
27300Why do you say that?
27300Why do you want to go to California-- a boy like you?
27300Why does n''t he come for it himself?
27300Why is it? 27300 Why not?"
27300Why should I, sir? 27300 Why should I?"
27300Why should the son of a merchant need to rob a boy like you? 27300 Why should you laugh at the loss of your money?"
27300Why so?
27300Why, Tom, is that you?
27300Why, what''s the matter now?
27300Why?
27300Why?
27300Why?
27300Why?
27300Will he catch us?
27300Will it ever be morning?
27300Will somebody call a policeman?
27300Will they mind what you say, sir?
27300Will you be kind enough to take the next seat?
27300Will you go up to your room now?
27300Will you have a room?
27300Will you let me give you a piece of advice?
27300Will you mention that you have already been under arrest?
27300Will you oblige me by stating how we are going to get hold of it?
27300Will you undertake it?
27300Without his knowledge?
27300Wo n''t go, hey?
27300Wo n''t you put one there to fool me, Tom?
27300Wo n''t you take me in partnership, then?
27300Wo n''t you tell him, Tom? 27300 Wo n''t you try to keep awake a little while?
27300Wo n''t your key fit?
27300Would you like to play a trick on him in turn?
27300Would you mind speaking to Fletcher, and telling him you are willing to take my place?
27300You are Tom Nelson, are you not?
27300You are certain you have lost nothing, Tom?
27300You are not afraid of losing your way, Tom?
27300You are sure they did n''t scalp you, Tom?
27300You came-- to-- do-- me-- a-- service?
27300You can if you wish,answered Tom;"but why should you kill me?
27300You could n''t leave your companion, could you, and come into my stateroom?
27300You did n''t see what I was buying, then?
27300You do n''t mean that you are going to give it to me, sir?
27300You do n''t think he would take advantage of you?
27300You do n''t?
27300You have? 27300 You proposed to increase the mortgage on my place?"
27300You remember those two poor fellows whom we found scalped the other day?
27300You were making a living at home, were you not?
27300You wo n''t be offended, sir?
27300You wo n''t go right on, Tom, will you?
27300You wo n''t think much of Cincinnati''s hospitality, eh, Tom?
27300A brisk, plausible young man, of twenty- five, passing through the aisle, observed the vacant seat, and, pausing, inquired,"Is this seat engaged?"
27300Accordingly, he said to the interpreter:"Shall I show you a trick?"
27300Are the stories we hear of fortunes made in a short time to be relied upon?"
27300Are you alone?"
27300Are you going to Cincinnati?"
27300Are you going to join friends there?"
27300Are you thinking of buying a railroad ticket?"
27300Are your eyes good?"
27300But for what had he escaped?
27300By the way, have you got a key about you?
27300By the way, have you secured a stateroom?"
27300Ca n''t we make him contribute to our necessities?"
27300Can you see anything?"
27300Could he unfasten and mount one before any of them a wakened?
27300Did you see who it was?"
27300Did you tell him that you were going to California?"
27300Did you tell him where you keep it?"
27300Do n''t you see that they are scalped?"
27300Do they sell him here?"
27300Do you think there are any Indians near?"
27300Do you understand me?"
27300Do you understand?"
27300Do-- do you think it has been done lately?"
27300Does he know you?"
27300Does it ever go to your legs?"
27300Fellow citizens, is this a free country, where a man of reputation can be summarily arrested at the bidding of another?
27300Ferguson?"
27300Ferguson?"
27300Ferguson?"
27300Ferguson?"
27300Ferguson?"
27300Ferguson?"
27300Ferguson?"
27300Fletcher?"
27300Fletcher?"
27300For fear you would be found out?"
27300Graham?"
27300Graham?"
27300Graham?"
27300Graham?"
27300Graham?"
27300Graham?"
27300Graham?"
27300Has the train moved on?"
27300Have we arrived?"
27300Have you any plan to suggest?"
27300He walked in, and, approaching the desk, inquired:"How much do you charge at this hotel?"
27300How about our stout friend?
27300How can I thank you?"
27300How can you possibly serve me?"
27300How did you find out?"
27300How did you get away?
27300How do I look now?"
27300How do you go from Pittsburg?"
27300How does his money hold out?"
27300How is it with you, friend Ferguson?"
27300How long have you been thinking of California?"
27300How long shall you remain here?"
27300How long will it take to get Tom ready?
27300How much money have you?"
27300I suppose if anything happens to you, Peabody, you will expect us to bury you?"
27300I suppose you know that?"
27300Is he not too young?"
27300Is it agreed?"
27300Is n''t that hard?"
27300Is that your father that was standing by you?"
27300Is the boy crazy?"
27300Jane seems old- maidish, do n''t you think so?"
27300Know Pittsburg House?"
27300Miles, there is much danger?"
27300Now, my friend, how much do you expect to get in the first year?"
27300Once in California, what could he not do?
27300Others have, and why should n''t I?
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Peabody?"
27300Scott?"
27300Scott?"
27300Shall I lead you there?
27300Shall he go?"
27300Should two palefaces, one of them a boy, escape from them?
27300Suddenly Squire Hudson said, eying him keenly:"Do you know how much money there is in this wallet?"
27300To what boy of sixteen is it not?
27300Tom, will you pass me the potatoes?"
27300What do you know about him?"
27300What do you mean by your insolence, I say?"
27300What do you take me for?"
27300What is it?"
27300What makes you think he would pay more attention to me, who am only a boy?"
27300What may your name be?"
27300What was he to do?
27300What will be easier, then, for your companion to rob you during the night?"
27300What will you take?
27300What would become of the poor boy in that case?"
27300What would my friends say if I should appear in this rig on Washington Street?"
27300What''s the odds, as long as you''re happy?"
27300When breakfast was over, Mark Nelson pushed back his chair, and said:"How soon can you get Tom ready to start, Mary?"
27300Where are you going to stay?"
27300Where can he be found?"
27300Where is his stateroom?"
27300Who is it?"
27300Who will go with the boy?"
27300Who will volunteer for the service?"
27300Who''s at the door, Bridget?"
27300Why ca n''t you stay here with us?"
27300Why could n''t old Fletcher let me ride?"
27300Why did I ever leave home?"
27300Why should I?
27300Why should he be expected to take his turn?"
27300Why should n''t this happen to me?"
27300Why should we not kill you?"
27300Why, my young friend, how much money do you think I had with me?"
27300Why?"
27300Will you let the boy go?"
27300Wo n''t go?"
27300Wo n''t you come there, too?"
27300Would Squire Hudson be forbearing, if ill- luck came?
27300You ai n''t a minister, are you?"
27300You are alone-- are you not?"
27300You are not near- sighted, are you?"
27300You do n''t mean that?"
27300You do n''t mean to say----""That I killed them?
27300You wo n''t forget that I am your friend?"
27300You''ve got a gold watch, have n''t you?"
27300asked Tom, checking an inclination to laugh;"are you sick?"
27300do you know him?"
19113A lie? 19113 Ai n''t I told you I''d get it?"
19113Ai n''t she goin''to marry the varmint?
19113Ai n''t she well?
19113Ai n''t there only four?
19113Ai n''t you only a little girl put up against things that''ud break the spirit of a strong man?
19113And ai n''t that just as bad? 19113 And am I to stop the train because that fool do n''t know enough or care enough to picket his horses?
19113And are you going to write a letter on that one?
19113And did the baby play, too?
19113And so you were going to follow his example and die on his body?
19113And the garden laid out and planted, I suppose?
19113And what do_ you_ think?
19113And what''s in that?
19113And you''ll want the cities and the parties?
19113Are n''t all women in love fools-- anyway for a while?
19113Are n''t you enough of a woman?
19113Are n''t you glad I brought them?
19113Are these yours?
19113Are you afraid he''s lost?
19113Are you asleep?
19113Are you better, dear?
19113Are you feelin''bad?
19113Are you in pain?
19113Are you looking for a rush next year?
19113Are you meaning she cares for him?
19113Are you well?
19113Before he was dead?
19113Breakfast?
19113But how can he ride all night? 19113 But the winter,"she said in a small voice like a pleading child''s,"the winter wo n''t be like that?"
19113But where-- where to?
19113But why do you call her poor? 19113 But why kill an innocent man who probably had nothing to do with it?"
19113But would your liking for them make you blind to such a thing as dirt?
19113But your real name?
19113But--the questioner had lost her moment of vision and was once again floundering between ignorance and intuition--"Why did you kiss him then?"
19113Ca n''t I help?
19113Ca n''t we do anything to cheer her or take her mind off it?
19113Ca n''t you seem to see him coming home from a battle with his face streaked with vermilion and his war bonnet on? 19113 Can I go?"
19113Cholera?
19113Could n''t we let them go?
19113Could you do that, little lady?
19113Cruel?
19113Daddy John,it hissed in the tone children employ in their games of hide- and- seek,"Daddy John, are you awake?"
19113David, are you better?
19113Did he get the dog?
19113Did he?
19113Did you find anyone interesting there?
19113Did you sleep long?
19113Did_ you_ know that? 19113 Do I have to marry every Indian that makes eyes at me?
19113Do n''t I?
19113Do n''t you feel sorry?
19113Do n''t you like them to?
19113Do n''t you see he can hardly stand?
19113Do n''t you want to marry him?
19113Do you care? 19113 Do you expect the doctor to lie comfortable in his blanket when there''s some one around with a pain?"
19113Do you hear? 19113 Do you know how she''ll live, that''poor Lucy''?"
19113Do you love me?
19113Do you think I''m going to hurt him with a cup full of water?
19113Do you think we''d better go on?
19113Do you think we''ll ever feel at home in it?
19113Do you understand me?
19113Does n''t everyone in the train keep saying that every ten minutes? 19113 Does n''t this seem as if it ought to lead us up right in front of Blunderbore''s Castle?"
19113Does she think she''s the only woman in the world?
19113Dreadful? 19113 For,"as she said afterwards to Glen,"what''s the sense of having her go?
19113From where?
19113Go back, Missy? 19113 Goin''now?"
19113Going with him forever, not coming back?
19113Going? 19113 Got up and looked out?
19113Has David wronged you in any way?
19113Has anything happened? 19113 Have I slept long?"
19113Have n''t we searched every hole and corner of the place? 19113 Have you lost your sweetheart?"
19113Have you the stones?
19113He knows a little of everything, does n''t he?
19113Here, to- night?
19113How am I to know what''s a pretty color? 19113 How could you see them when you were in your tent?"
19113How had he got there?
19113How have you changed?
19113How tall was he?
19113How''d I do that?
19113How''d you get it?
19113I can hate him if I like, ca n''t I?
19113I wonder if you could?
19113Is he going to die?
19113Is he worse?
19113Is it a bu''full smell?
19113Is n''t that just what I said, and you denied it?
19113Is she there?
19113Is that what he said?
19113Is that you, Missy?
19113Is there water?
19113Is this he?
19113It''s natural, is n''t it? 19113 Low,"she pleaded,"what''s wrong with you?
19113Lucy,she gasped,"what''s the matter?"
19113Mad? 19113 Maybe so, but why should you blame them for that?
19113Missionaries?
19113Missionaries?
19113Not a clergyman or missionary among all these people?
19113Not at all?
19113Not till then? 19113 Now_ why_ are you in a rage with me?"
19113Of what?
19113Oh, Susan, is n''t it a mercy we''ve found you?
19113Over the Indians?
19113Parsons?
19113Pawnee?
19113Running away with him?
19113Rush?
19113Shall I give you the coffee?
19113Shall I tell them you do n''t like the subject, not to speak of it again?
19113She and the woman whose son is dead, wives of the same man?
19113So you like it, Missy?
19113Susan, do you truly care for me?
19113Ten minutes longer?
19113That''s fine, is n''t it?
19113That''s what I says to him first- off--''Well, gol darn yer, what happened to yer?'' 19113 The Indians?"
19113The mules given out?
19113The night through? 19113 Then why should he be out here, dressed like an Indian and wandering round with all sorts of waifs and strays?
19113Then you did like him?
19113Then you think you could?
19113Then you would n''t like to go back to the old life?
19113Then you''re a Frenchman?
19113Then, it was n''t Indians? 19113 Was that why you threw it down?"
19113Was there ever such a materialist?
19113Water?
19113We? 19113 Well, ca n''t she go to sleep in the morning if she wants?
19113Well, then, what''s making you cry?
19113Well, what''s goin''to happen?
19113Well, who could I take? 19113 Well?"
19113Well?
19113Well?
19113Were there so many pale faces as this in the Great Father''s country?
19113Were you asleep when I came?
19113What am I to do?
19113What are we to do? 19113 What are you going to do?"
19113What are you going to do?
19113What are you thinking of?
19113What are you two girls jawing about in there?
19113What business have you got to wonder about me?
19113What do you mean? 19113 What do you mean?
19113What do you think''s going to happen?
19113What do you want to be encouraged for?
19113What does it matter to you when you''ve been comfortable all day? 19113 What else?
19113What for?
19113What happened to him?
19113What happened?
19113What is it you want to fix?
19113What is it? 19113 What is it?"
19113What is your name?
19113What was he?
19113What was it?
19113What was there to tell? 19113 What will he do for water?"
19113What would that have mattered? 19113 What''s at Fort Bridger?"
19113What''s happened?
19113What''s it matter what a man''s parents are if he''s kind to you?
19113What''s made you feel so old?
19113What''s that to you?
19113What''s that, what''s that?
19113What''s the matter now?
19113What''s the matter there?
19113What''s the matter with him? 19113 What''s the matter, Low?"
19113What''s the matter?
19113What''s_ she_ mind for?
19113When will you be married?
19113Where are you going?
19113Where are you going?
19113Where have you been?
19113Where was the guilt? 19113 Where will we build it?"
19113Where would we be now without him?
19113Where?
19113Whispering?
19113Who are you?
19113Who calls you that?
19113Who says I''m going to?
19113Who was it?
19113Who was me?
19113Who?
19113Why are n''t you sleeping?
19113Why are you afraid?
19113Why are you calling?
19113Why ca n''t one of those missionaries marry us there?
19113Why could n''t they speak out, say they did n''t want to do it? 19113 Why did n''t he say so?"
19113Why did n''t you let me kill him?
19113Why did n''t you tell before?
19113Why did she come? 19113 Why did you?"
19113Why do n''t you encourage me?
19113Why do n''t you get David to do that?
19113Why do n''t you like him, Missy? 19113 Why do n''t you like him?
19113Why do n''t you tell the truth? 19113 Why do they harp so on David?"
19113Why do you ask? 19113 Why do you give him all he asks for?
19113Why do you hate them?
19113Why do you shrink from me, Missy?
19113Why do you think of him?
19113Why is it wicked?
19113Why is she poor?
19113Why not over the second story? 19113 Why not?"
19113Why not?
19113Why not?
19113Why should we move down? 19113 Why?
19113Why?
19113Why?
19113Why?
19113Why?
19113Will you say yes? 19113 With Zavier?
19113Would it do any good to get him out of here, down to the valley or the coast?
19113Would n''t you follow David that way?
19113Would you marry David? 19113 Would you miss me?
19113Yes, Missy, what''s the matter? 19113 You do n''t curl your hair any more?"
19113You must be awfully happy?
19113You often imagine, do n''t you? 19113 You''d rather have carried the things up?"
19113You''ll be content to stay here with me till we''ve made our pile?
19113You''ll do this for my happiness now?
19113You''ll join it, too, wo n''t you?
19113You''ve never guessed that I was called''Running Water,''have you?
19113You?
19113--with a blank glance at the speaker--"is it breakfast time?"
19113After a moment she said with a questioning inflection:"You were angry?"
19113After a pause he said slowly:"Why need we wait so long?"
19113Ai n''t I carried you when you were a baby?"
19113Am I anything to you?"
19113Am I asking too much?"
19113And David knew something of these matters, for had he not been twice to St. Louis and there seen the glories of the earth and the kingdoms thereof?
19113And after these submergences in despair a tide of questions carried him to livelier torment: Why had she done it?
19113And how about your promise?
19113And how better combine them than by emigrating to California?
19113And if he was?"
19113And which is it?"
19113And you''d never met till you started on the trail?
19113And-- and-- if they were willing to do the thing later, sometime in the future, would n''t that make up for it?"
19113Are n''t we enough by ourselves?"
19113Are n''t you cruel when you kill an antelope or a deer for supper?
19113Are n''t you glad he''s coming?"
19113Are they going to keep on that way till the spring?"
19113As he turned away he paused and, looking back, said,"Why did n''t you do the fainting?
19113Besides, what was the use of bringing them back?
19113But if he was?"
19113But if you''re expecting him along, why do n''t you take her in and let her look''em over?
19113But to the succeeding,"Why did he?"
19113But what can we do?
19113But what will it matter?
19113Ca n''t you say something better?"
19113Ca n''t you sleep?"
19113Can I have one?"
19113Champak?
19113Could anything be healthier and happier?"
19113Could the elaborately complete Gillespie outfit include candles?
19113Courant, a few feet in advance, said over his shoulder:"What''s wrong with him now?"
19113Crystal notice there was still something a little queer about her_ r_''s?
19113Daddy John''s voice came with it:"Missy, do you know if the keg of whisky was moved?
19113Did she hear the note of mockery which she sensed whenever he alluded to her lover?
19113Did she not remember they were in the country of the Pawnees, the greatest thieves on the plains?
19113Did you ever see the stars at night through the branches of the pine trees?
19113Did you find anyone?"
19113Do n''t you care?"
19113Do n''t you feel any pity for him?
19113Do n''t you go to sleep every Sunday under the wagon?"
19113Do n''t you?
19113Do you care?"
19113Do you ever think what it''ll be like to sleep in a room again under a roof, a good, waterproof roof, that the sun and the rain ca n''t come through?
19113Do you guess what for?"
19113Do you remember it-- burnt almonds and chocolate drops with a dog painted on the cover?
19113Do you think Zavier and I have squaw wives?"
19113Do you understand that?"
19113Do you want me to fall in love with a man like that?"
19113Do you want to act like a fool and make me angry with you?"
19113Does their daughter have to stand up before a priest?
19113Even Glen sat up, scratching his head, and remarking sotto voce to his wife:"Ai n''t I always said he was an Indian?"
19113Had he got lost?"
19113Has he ever done anything or said anything to you that offended you?"
19113Have n''t I your word?
19113Have n''t you been kind as an angel to me when the others would have let me die out here like a dog?
19113Have_ I_ made you blush, too?"
19113He again made no answer, and leaning nearer to spy into his face, she asked naïvely:"Do n''t you think it beautiful?"
19113He broke it with a whisper:"Why did you get David the water last night?"
19113He did n''t laugh, instead he looked sulkily thoughtful:"And where will we get the money to do all this?"
19113He did not answer, and she gave his arm a little shake and said,"Wo n''t you?"
19113He guessed the trouble was something more than the grief of the moment, and urged in a whisper:"What''s the matter now?
19113He had been able to do without them, defied their laws, scorned their truckling to public opinion-- but now?
19113He knelt to help her, and, his face close to hers, she said in a low voice:"Why did you throw the whip down?"
19113He snatched at it, pulling it down, saying hoarsely:"Of me?"
19113He waited for a moment, then said with an undernote of pleading in his voice,"You think you will be happy, dearie?"
19113Her eyes fell on the sleeping man, and she said, peering through the steam of the bubbling water:"Who''s that?"
19113Her husband who had appeared to be asleep said:"Why should they?"
19113His answer showed no consciousness of the humbling process:"You think a lot of David, do n''t you?"
19113How could he, disabled, broken by unaccustomed hardships, cope with the iron- fibered man whose body and spirit were at one with these harsh settings?
19113How should I?"
19113How would this ornamental party cope with such unfamiliar labors?
19113How''ll he get through the desert I''m asking you?"
19113How''s Low?"
19113In an agony of self- accusation she whispered:"Oh, Low, could he have killed himself?"
19113Is he mad at David?"
19113Is it always to be him?
19113Is it because she has no money?"
19113Is n''t it dreadful?"
19113Is n''t that a good life for a man and a woman?"
19113Is n''t that romantic?"
19113Is n''t that the same thing?"
19113Is some one sick?"
19113Is that it?"
19113Is that your honor?"
19113Is there something on my face?"
19113It was like old times only-- with a glance outward toward the water and the star- strewn sky-- so much more-- what was the word?
19113It was she who spoke slowly in a low voice:"Where do you come from?"
19113It was too late to get through to the States now?
19113Leff snickered, even the doctor''s voice showed the incredulous note when he asked:"Where could it have come from?"
19113Long ago the doctor had heard his wife sing the same words, and he turned with a start:"Where did you learn that song?"
19113Missy would remember it, last winter in Rochester?
19113More at ease he returned to the subject and asked,"Who''s been telling lies?"
19113Moving restlessly he flung out a hand toward her and said querulously:"How long will Low be gone?"
19113Neither spoke to him and he added sharply:"Did n''t I hear swearing?
19113Now in a flash of clairvoyance he saw truly, and feeling the joy of life slipping from him, faltered:"Have I made a mistake?
19113Pity rose above all other feelings, and she said:"Have they told you what they''re going to do?
19113Saw me and Zavier?
19113She became alarmed lest he meant to kiss her again and edged away from him, exclaiming hastily:"Shall we go back?
19113She considered for a moment, then said:"Have you ever told a lie?"
19113She endured it for a space and then said with an edge of irritation on her voice:"What are you staring at me for?
19113She knelt beside him and spoke very gently,"Will you take this, David?
19113She laid the sticks one on the other without replying and he said with a touch of pleading in his tone:"You understand that, do n''t you?"
19113She looked from him to the firmament as if to read a reason for his fear:"Frighten you?
19113She passed over it quickly, pretending that she did not hear Bella''s astonished:"But why did you get married at Humboldt?
19113She picked up a stone and threw it in the river, then as she watched its splash:"Does n''t it seem long ago when we were in Rochester?"
19113She pondered for a space and then said:"What are champak odors?"
19113She swallowed dryly, her heart gone down too far to be plucked up by futile contradition[ Transcriber''s note: contradiction?].
19113Shelley?--"The Ode to the West Wind?"
19113Should he wait to be murdered?
19113Stay this way till morning?
19113Suppose we found one there when we arrived?"
19113Susan broke it in a low voice:"Then you''re going to marry him?"
19113Susan raised the eyebrows of mild surprise:"Why did you think that?"
19113That was why-- in a spirit of testing a granted boon to prove its genuineness-- he asked with tentative questioning:"You wo n''t be lonely?
19113The sick man seemed asleep, and their voices unconsciously rose, suddenly dropping to silence as he stirred and spoke:"Are you talking of moving me?
19113The young man turned quickly on her, leaned nearer, and said huskily:"Would you?"
19113Then Leff''s voice, surprised:"Asleep?
19113Then glancing about,"Where are the rest of them?"
19113Then he turns back and says,''Is she happy?''"
19113Then the encountering parties eyed one another with candid curiosity and from each came the greeting of the plains,"Be you for Oregon or California?"
19113They paced on for a silent moment then he said:"Why are you blushing?"
19113They rode on in silence, then he said,"What''s made you mad?"
19113Through the perturbation of her mind the question flashed-- Did all women feel this way?
19113Was he to be smitten now through no fault of his own?
19113Was he well?"
19113Was it Susan, this soft and docile being, close against his side, her head moving slowly as her eyes ranged over the magical prospect?
19113Was it a thing you give and take back whenever you please?
19113Was it as large, or were we just a tiny, twinkling point too?
19113Was it love?
19113Was it the end coming with a last influx of strength and fire?
19113Was n''t he the one to end it, not wait on her pleasure?
19113Was n''t it a darling with little golden rings of hair and eyes like pieces of blue glass?"
19113Was n''t that his business?
19113Was that what had drawn her over all obstacles, away from the established joys and comforts, drawn her like a magnet to such a desperate course?
19113Was there any hope that his presence might have been the cause of some small fraction of that enjoyment?
19113What Low had said to Susan was an angry,"Why did you bring them?"
19113What am I to think?"
19113What are you doing?"
19113What could he do to make her?
19113What did a man want with Byron''s poems and Milton and Bacon''s"Essays"crossing the plains?
19113What did it mean?
19113What did it mean?"
19113What did you do it for if you did n''t care?"
19113What did you do it for?
19113What did you do that for?"
19113What had changed her?
19113What right''s that kind of man to come ogling after a decent white girl whose father and mother were married in the Presbyterian Church?"
19113What was an ode anyway?
19113What was the good when Lucy obviously did n''t care?
19113What was the sense of interfering?
19113What would your father think of your breaking your word-- throwing me off for a man no better than a half- blood Indian?
19113What''s dreadful in having some sense?
19113What''s got you?"
19113What''s the matter with you all talking about marriages and missionaries when we''re in the middle of the wilds?"
19113What''s the matter with you?
19113What''s the matter?"
19113When had she ceased to care?
19113When he tried to speak his lips were stiff, and he moistened them to murmur:"Of what?"
19113When she had scrutinized these, she turned in her saddle, and said abruptly to the driver of the six mules:"Daddy John, do you see-- horses?"
19113When we started that seemed as if it was half the journey, did n''t it?"
19113Where are you?"
19113Where?"
19113Where?"
19113Where?"
19113Whether we''ll wait here or go on and have you catch us up?"
19113Who are we?"
19113Who else could it be?"
19113Who wants whisky?"
19113Who was thinking of money?
19113Who''s swearing now?"
19113Why at this rich moment should the past send out this eerie reminder?
19113Why did California, once the goal of her dreams, now seem an alien land in which she always would be a stranger?
19113Why did n''t she stay at home?"
19113Why did n''t you wait till you got here?"
19113Why did they have to lie?"
19113Why did you meet him?
19113Why do n''t you say a Mormon elder at once?"
19113Why do you lie?"
19113Why had he not forced her to listen?
19113Why had he not seized her and even if she struggled, held her and made her hear him?
19113Why had he remembered it?
19113Why had she not?
19113Why had she pretended not to like Zavier?
19113Why present to the Indians a horse when they had only sufficient for themselves?
19113Why should I be?"
19113Why should he cave in and the others of us keep up?"
19113Why, if she objected to the Indian''s dirt, had she been oblivious to that of the women and the children?
19113Why, where''s your nerve?
19113Why?
19113Why?
19113Why?"
19113Why?"
19113Why?"
19113Wo n''t that be lovely?"
19113Would I get off my horse and climb up beside you to ask you about the weather?"
19113Would her tidings of David rouse him?
19113Would she ever look at him like that?
19113You do n''t like me, little lady, is that it?"
19113You do n''t mean for us always to stay far away from everything in these wild, uncivilized places?"
19113You do n''t want to go on and leave us behind, do you?"
19113You know I would have liked to come with you and Byron could have-- have----""What?"
19113_ L''eau courante_ means running water, does n''t it?
19113and before he answers me he says quick,''How''s Susan?''
19113and"Oh, Lord, Missy, is it you?"
14362A hundred guineas, five hundred?
14362A_ signal_? 14362 Ah, and this is part of the drill?"
14362Ah?
14362Ai n''t got his bellyful o''fightin''yit?
14362Am I intruding?
14362And Belknap was content to do this?
14362And again I ask you, why are you here, when you are supposed to be in South Carolina?
14362And he?
14362And now, Jack,said my wire- haired old friend to me at last,"when do you ride to Albemarle?
14362And one may make mad love to any?
14362And shall I never know, in all the world?
14362And she agreed? 14362 And that will be your home?"
14362And what is it, then, John Cowles, that women call''wrong''?
14362And what is this scar on thy neck-- thee did not tell me when thee wrote, Jack, what ails thee?
14362And when?
14362And who is that dangerous flirt you were talking about a moment ago?
14362And will you keep it?
14362And yet you match against me? 14362 And you will never come back to quiet old Virginia, where plodding farmers go on as their fathers did a hundred years ago?"
14362And your father?
14362And, in your belief, that wedding should go on?
14362Are n''t you ashamed, all of you? 14362 Are we, then, only creatures, puppets, toys?"
14362Are you aware, sir, of the seriousness of what you have done?
14362Are you game-- can you do this, Miss Meriwether?
14362Are you in pain?
14362At dinner to- night, then?
14362At least, then, you are unmarried, Jack?
14362Because I am in your power, John Cowles?
14362Because by accident you have learned that I am a comely woman, as you are a strong man, normal, because I am fit to love, not ill to look at? 14362 Besides, as to the Sheratons, Jack,"she began again--"I do not wish to say one word to hurt thy feelings, but Miss Grace--""What about Miss Grace?"
14362Bread? 14362 Broth?"
14362But I hope you are not hurt in any way?
14362But could n''t funds be raised somehow, even yet?
14362But does not the trail cut off the bend, and run straight west?
14362But if I do not sign this?
14362But if the Government takes action?
14362But if you had ever signed words like these with any_ other_ woman, then it would not be our marriage nor our troth, would it, John Cowles?
14362But now I must know-- would you love me anywhere, in any circumstances, in spite of all? 14362 But now as to this Ellen?
14362But tell me, when is the wedding to be?
14362But what more?
14362But what-- what_ is_ it?
14362But you believe me, Jack? 14362 But you,"I ventured,"will always live with the Army?"
14362But your vow-- your promise?
14362By Jove,he broke out at length, flushing as he turned to me,"it is hard for a fellow to tell sometimes what''s right, is n''t it?
14362Can you forgive me?
14362Can you go?
14362Can you not give it, then? 14362 Could I use any of this money with clean conscience?"
14362Could it honorably be employed in the discharging of the debt Orme left on my family?
14362Could n''t you tell me something of how she will look?
14362Could we?
14362Could you want such a man?
14362Could you?
14362Did he die?
14362Did n''t God join you in holy wedlock, Mandy?
14362Did n''t you hear me? 14362 Did she run away from you?"
14362Did that man make the first break at you?
14362Did you marry that girl-- what was her name-- Miss Sheraton?
14362Did you promise him to keep your promise, Jack?
14362Did you see my boy, Andy Jackson?
14362Divorced, eh?
14362Do I not know that? 14362 Do you believe in the Indian telegraph now?"
14362Do you not see the yellow?
14362Do you really want to know?
14362Do you regret then that she brought me through-- that I owe my life to her?
14362Do you remember meeting me down at Jefferson?
14362Do you suggest that?
14362Do you suppose Mr. Cowles is engaged?
14362Do you think I could be?
14362Does the wound hurt you?
14362Does your father know of his peculiar hours?
14362Ellen who?
14362Ellen,I said,"do you indeed love me?"
14362Gentlemen, is it all agreed?
14362Git out of the way, man-- how can I see how to shoot if you bob your head acrost my sights all the time?
14362Going away again?
14362Has anything happened?
14362Has she suggested it?
14362Have you any news?
14362Have you heard from Leesburg, Washington?
14362Have you leave?
14362Have you never taken a little adventure of this sort yourself?
14362Have you told her-- have you told this to my girl?
14362He''ll not be back?
14362How are you coming on?
14362How can I tell?
14362How could that be?
14362How did you eat?
14362How did you know it?
14362How is the patient getting along?
14362How long will you remember me this time-- me or my clothes, Mr. Cowles? 14362 How many''s there of you?"
14362How on earth did you get here? 14362 How should I know?
14362How should I know? 14362 How''s the girl?
14362How?
14362I presume it to be understood that each may employ such charge as he prefers, and that each shall load his own piece?
14362I say, have you kept your other promise to me?
14362I see-- and they have some sort of an offer as well-- eh?
14362I suppose that you rarely came into our county either, but went down the Shenandoah when you journeyed to Washington?
14362If I give you parole,he asked,"will you believe me, and let us talk freely?"
14362If I killed him,said I, finally,"how would it better her case?
14362If you were just where I am,asked Harry Sheraton, slowly,"what would you do?
14362Impossible? 14362 In sickness or in health?"
14362Indeed, and to whom, pray?
14362Indeed, sir?
14362Is he dead, too, my dear woman?
14362Is it a fever? 14362 Is it agreed?"
14362Is it not well to wait?
14362Is it, indeed?
14362Is that so?
14362Is the case ready for argument?
14362It is Miss Meriwether? 14362 It is not because I am in your power?"
14362It is, can_ you_ forgive_ me_?
14362Jack,she said,"why should we wait?"
14362John Cowles, of Virginia,she said simply,"now tell me, how shall I mend this broken kettle?"
14362Judge Reeves,she cried,"what are you doing there?"
14362Just for the sake of saying you have done so?
14362Married?
14362Meaning yourself?
14362Meaning?
14362Miss Meriwether, is this your emblem indeed-- this red heart? 14362 Money against your horse?"
14362My good woman,said I, somewhat amused by her methods of action and speech,"do you mind telling me what is your name?"
14362My promise? 14362 No doubt your family know every one in this part of the country?"
14362Now it stops beating, does it not?
14362Now then, which one is she?
14362Now, I wonder who is this Ellen?
14362Now, now, my dear Miss Ellen,began Stevenson,"ca n''t you be a good fellow and run back home?
14362Now, shall we go back?
14362Now, the question comes, to which of these worlds belongs John Cowles? 14362 Now, whut''d you do if a man was to kivver you like I''m a- doin''now?"
14362Orme,said I,"Mr. Gordon Orme?
14362Say, mister, mebbe that''s yore wife back there in the kebbin in the middle of the boat?
14362Say, mister,said she,"how tall are you?"
14362Shall the firing be with the single barrel, or with both barrels?
14362Shall we go back to camp?
14362Silly, do you want me to put your hand in hers? 14362 So you did not hear my little effort the other night?"
14362Sport, great sport, is n''t it?
14362Suppose she does love you-- do I not love you more? 14362 Tell me, Jack Cowles,"she said,"is there anything in the world you are afraid to do?"
14362Tell me, have you seen those feats? 14362 Tell me, what in the world are you doing here?"
14362The Court being, as it were, broke, will some one be so good as to lend the Court a silver coin? 14362 The light then was that of some servant?"
14362The question only is, has my punishment been enough, or can it be enough? 14362 Then Captain Orme was quite mistaken?"
14362Then it is to be war?
14362Then it was Ellen?
14362Then we two are all the people left in the world, John Cowles? 14362 Then what is it?"
14362Then which do you choose, sir?
14362Then why did you go there so often all last year?
14362Then you knew I was a Quaker? 14362 Then, Mr. Cowles, you do not care to go back down the valley, and to return to the girl in Virginia?"
14362To how many have you said that?
14362To leave the County?
14362To leave the State?
14362Under which flag, then, for you?
14362Wanted me?
14362What are the Sioux doing so far east?
14362What became of your last husband, Mandy?
14362What boundary do we use, gentlemen?
14362What could he do?
14362What did she say?
14362What do you know about surgery?
14362What do you mean, Jack?
14362What do you mean?
14362What do you mean?
14362What do you say to me, John Cowles? 14362 What do you see?"
14362What does this mean?
14362What good would that do?
14362What has happened?
14362What is it?
14362What is it?
14362What is it?
14362What is marriage, John Cowles?
14362What is wrong?
14362What shall we do? 14362 What shall we do?"
14362What shall we do?
14362What was that?
14362What would happen then?
14362What ye skeered of? 14362 What''d them men have to do with it?
14362What''s that, my good fellow?
14362What''s the mystery? 14362 What''s up?"
14362What''s wrong?
14362What, has Kitty talked?
14362What? 14362 When is this wedding to be?"
14362When one does not love a girl, and sees no happiness in the thought of living with her all his life, what squares that, Harry, in your opinion?
14362When we have escaped,she went on,"if ever we do escape, then this will still be our troth, will it not, John Cowles?"
14362Where are you going?
14362Where d''ye suppose it was unlessen at our_ ho_tel? 14362 Where did you learn the trick?"
14362Where is Colonel Meriwether?
14362Where shall I shoot it?
14362Where you go?
14362Who are you?
14362Who is in there?
14362Who''d have thought the Sioux would be this far east?
14362Who''s the other?
14362Whut business is this here of yores?
14362Whut you all doin''down there?
14362Why could they not remain as they are?
14362Why did you not come on to the settlements? 14362 Why did you not tell me?
14362Why do you ask me? 14362 Why do you blind the poor fellow?"
14362Why do you say that?
14362Why do you think I belong to the Army?
14362Why should we not have done what-- what is it that you mean?
14362Why should you not both have done so?
14362Why, then?
14362Why?
14362Will you be ready?
14362Will you make me a promise?
14362Will you make me one promise?
14362Will you promise me to do one thing you have already promised to do?
14362With a special reference to Army officers born in the South?
14362Witnesses?
14362Wo n''t I do?
14362Would you like it?
14362Would you like to have a little match at our birds?
14362Yes, but how did you get here yourself-- you were not on my boat?
14362Yes, who''s the tall one?
14362Yes? 14362 Yes?"
14362Yes?
14362You a kunnel?
14362You are John Cowles, sir, then?
14362You are from Washington?
14362You are playing some deeper game than I know?
14362You did-- and alone? 14362 You do not ask that now?"
14362You feel it beat?
14362You know his breeding?
14362You know of Grace Sheraton, back there?
14362You object? 14362 You refuse to do what you have planned to do?
14362You spoke of pigeon shooting,said Orme lazily,"Blue rocks, I imagine?"
14362You wish him?
14362You, Aunt Mandy?
14362Young man, what do you propose to do in regard to my daughter? 14362 Your father is Mr. John Cowles, of Cowles''Farms?"
14362Your son, Andrew Jackson?
14362_ Who_ came with you, Aunt Mandy?
14362After all, Jack, you are young, and so is--""Ellen?"
14362Am I good enough for you, Ellen?
14362Am I your shadow, Mr. Cowles, or are you mine?
14362An''whut you doin''out here?"
14362And in what arm?"
14362And she-- Ellen-- the girl I had seen and loved in the desert silences?
14362And then to me,"You do n''t know Benjie?
14362And what will be the result when the South, plus England, fights these tariff makers over here?
14362And, I say, you did meet the savages, did n''t you?"
14362Are n''t you, Annie?"
14362Are we not as well off as those?"
14362Are you a married man?"
14362Are you pleased to tell me what will settle this debt between us?"
14362Auberry, ca n''t you find me a bit of sinew somewhere, and perhaps a needle of some sort?"
14362Aunt Mandy, where was all this?"
14362But I trust nothing has been done as yet--""You trust not?
14362But now what shall we do?"
14362But presently I asked him,"Have you no word for me from her?"
14362But say, who''s that a- comin''down the street there in that little sawed- off wagon?"
14362But shall we not have them bring us one of these juleps of the country?
14362But tell me, why did not your father himself come out?"
14362But then, how could he find us, little as we are, in this big country?
14362But what of me that night?
14362But whither?
14362But who was I that I should judge him?
14362But wo n''t you promise what I''ve asked?
14362But you know my black horse, Mr. Orme, that you fancied?"
14362CHAPTER XXIX THE GARDEN Soon now we would be able to travel; but whither, and for what purpose?
14362Ca n''t you catch him?"
14362Came out from Leavenworth with you, I suppose?"
14362Can marriage be of but two?"
14362Can not a woman be free as much as a man?
14362Can you-- could you--""Can you yourself forgive this?"
14362Colonel Meriwether,"I cried out at length,"you are not regretting that I brought her through?"
14362Could the wild freedom of this life have worked a similar spell on her?
14362Could we go on?"
14362Could you promise me, clean and solemn?
14362Could you promise me-- in that way?
14362Cowles, what do you know about that man?"
14362Cowles?"
14362Cowles?"
14362Did n''t I_ hear_ him-- didn''t you hear him_ admit_ it?"
14362Did n''t you know I married ole man Auberry?
14362Did you ever know me to break parole?"
14362Did you hear me?"
14362Do n''t you see them fixing up the dancing platform on Parade?
14362Do n''t you suppose all the world will_ talk_?
14362Do we love because we are but creatures?
14362Do you expect me to tolerate that sort of thing from you?"
14362Do you figure that I am a woman because you are a man?
14362Do you forgive me?
14362Do you shoot, sir?"
14362Do you suspect me of putting out a beacon light for a cheap night adventure with some man?
14362Does thee think thee can handle all three of these activities in combination?''
14362Ellen Meriwether accepted him on such terms?"
14362Ever do anything at it?"
14362Few of us are all we ought to be, but why?
14362Has she spoken to you in any way that might lead you to think she would prefer our engagement to be broken?"
14362Have I not right as much as you?
14362Have you been sick?
14362Have you not been free?"
14362Have you saw airy buffeler?
14362He had given me-- what?
14362How could I inflict upon her a still more poignant suffering than this physical one?
14362How could you be expected to understand what it took me years to learn?
14362How old is your father, my good fellow?"
14362How shall I know_ her_?"
14362How should it be known that we were almost within touch of the great highway of the West, now again thronging with wagon trains?
14362How''d you git away out here ahead of us?
14362I had delved deep as I might in law, and history and literature, seeking to solve, as I might-- what?
14362I infer that he has advised you of the condition of our joint business matters?"
14362I must make another home for myself, and for--""For me?"
14362I presume Captain Orme told you?"
14362I say, Cowles, could n''t you do that for me?
14362I suppose you talked it over with him?"
14362I''m sure he will join us to- night?"
14362Indeed, how should you know?
14362Is he away in the West?
14362Is he here again?
14362Is it because you know I am human, and young, and fit for love?
14362Is it not all wild and free?"
14362Is it not so?"
14362Is it of the church?"
14362Is it proof?"
14362Is it your wound again?"
14362Is my girl sick?"
14362Is my parole ended?"
14362Is n''t it curious?"
14362Is n''t it funny how these things go?
14362Is n''t it glorious, here on the Plains?
14362Is n''t that your business?"
14362Is that satisfactory?"
14362Is that understood, gentlemen?"
14362Is that why?
14362Is there any one who wishes to back me, perhaps, or to back Mr. Cowles?
14362Is this Thy will?"
14362It asked of me, as though he spoke:"Are you, then, game to the core?
14362It could not have been a signal?"
14362It is not necessary for me to explain to you the full nature of it--""Then she has sent for me?"
14362Jack, you remember Jennie Williams, across under Catoctin?"
14362Kitty has talked again?
14362Kitty?"
14362Look, is n''t it nicely done?"
14362Matt, look at him, is n''t he old, and sour, and solemn?"
14362Mrs. Stevenson, will you allow this sort of talk?"
14362Must I live here always-- must I settle down and be simply a farmer forever?
14362Now since I have come so far to see you and have found you out so soon, why do you not confess that you are Miss Ellen?
14362Now what is an''indenture''?
14362Now, I wonder if indeed you did meet Ellen?
14362Now, may I go?
14362Now, why was it you did not take up these matters with Colonel Meriwether?
14362Once more, whither was my folly carrying me?
14362Or was it because she was keen, shrewd and in control of herself, able to make plans to her own advantage?
14362Orme?"
14362Perhaps you have heard of exchangeable personalities?"
14362See, is n''t it fine?"
14362Setting aside all my own acts in other matters, why can you not remember at least so much as that?
14362Shall I admire you and give you another chance, or shall I kill you now?"
14362Shall it then be war?"
14362She was glad that she might now be more free, needing some manner of friend; but she was still-- what?
14362Should I wait here, or at Leavenworth; or should I go on still farther west?
14362Since I did not, and since, therefore, you owe me something for that fact, what do you say about it yourself, my friend?"
14362Sport?
14362Stevenson?"
14362Suppose we leave the debt unsettled until we meet some time?
14362Suppose you were in the case of that other young man who loves her?
14362Tell me, Jack, did you quarrel?
14362Tell me, are you a skilled wrestler?"
14362Tell me, who are you, and what are you, and what are you doing in this country?"
14362Thank you,"to Williams,"and now, gentlemen, will you toss for the order of precedence?"
14362That what a woman prizes is not right, is not good?
14362The first one was-- what shall I say?
14362Thee is older-- what has come to thee, my son?"
14362Their superiors?
14362Then why should not you and I try to forget?
14362Until you meet another?"
14362Was it not true?
14362Was it that I again was at her side, that old associations awakened?
14362What are you doing here?"
14362What are you trying to cover up?"
14362What can we do?
14362What chance have we men against such weapons?
14362What could I do after that?
14362What did he say to you when you saw him?"
14362What did he tell you?"
14362What did you expect?"
14362What do you mean?
14362What do you mean?"
14362What do you wish?
14362What had I brought to this girl''s creed of life, heretofore always so sweet and usual?
14362What had come of all my studies?
14362What is he doing out here?"
14362What matters it that you suffer or that I suffer?
14362What say the words of the law?
14362What shall we do?"
14362What was I coming to, I, John Cowles, this morning when the bees droned fat and the flowers made fragrant all the air?
14362What was he doing here in our quiet country community?
14362What was his errand?
14362What was it that sat upon her face-- melancholy, or fear, or sorrow, or resentment?
14362What wonder the saying that no Army man ever passed St. Louis without leaving a heart, or taking one with him?
14362What would be right for him?"
14362What''s wrong, Doctor?
14362What-- a judge of the Supreme Court?"
14362When I am old, will you cast me off?
14362Where all you goin'', anyhow?
14362Where is your husband?
14362Where they at?"
14362Where was the old world I had left behind me?
14362Where will England side when the break comes?
14362Where''d you all be now if it was n''t for me?"
14362Whether by plan of her own or not, I can not say, but it softened to a more gentle-- shall I say a more beseeching look?
14362Whut business is it o''yourn, anyhow?
14362Whut''s the word of a man to a woman?
14362Whut''s the word of a woman to a man?
14362Why are we made the way we are?"
14362Why barter and dicker over any woman with another man?
14362Why do you abuse him in this way?"
14362Why was Orme there?"
14362Why, then, had she kept it, why had she brought it home with her?
14362Why?"
14362Will you gentlemen present me?"
14362Wo n''t you promise?"
14362Would any one else like to lay a little something?
14362You do love me?"
14362You do promise to keep your promise?
14362You feel your honor too deeply touched?
14362You, sir, what''s wrong?
14362_ And, then I felt my face grow ashy cold and pale in one sudden breath!_"But why do you look so sad?"
14362_ Are you to blame_?"
14362are they feats, or simply lies?"
14362she exclaimed, reaching out a hand against a tree trunk to steady herself,"Your leavings?
14362she murmured,"what shall we do?
13384About what?
13384Ai n''t there no doctor?
13384Air ye all ready, Bill?
13384Air ye game to hit, Will?
13384All set, men? 13384 Am I the best man?
13384Am I to understand that you are marrying me as a second choice, and so that you can forget some other man?
13384An''so has Sam Woodhull, huh?
13384An''what is that?
13384An''ye want courts an''the settlements, boys?
13384And do you owe me anything?
13384And leave your parents?
13384And wait?
13384Anything worse?
13384Anyways that? 13384 Are not you burned too?"
13384Are we gentlemen at all?
13384Are ye a- skeered?
13384As a prisoner?
13384As what, ma''am? 13384 As which, Mr. Bridger?
13384But did they get his property? 13384 But he did n''t say he''d give it up?"
13384But how do you explain it?
13384But is she alive? 13384 But it''s most to Oregon, hain''t it?"
13384But then?
13384But to- night what man knows the gate into their village? 13384 But what shall we do?"
13384But you love one?
13384But you''ll go on with us, wo n''t you?
13384But you''re going to leave us? 13384 But, Jed"--the eternal female now--"then, which one really whipped?"
13384Can we count on thirty wagons to go through? 13384 Can we ford above and come in behind them?"
13384Can we?
13384Can you ride, Jackson?
13384Can you travel, Jackson?
13384Chance? 13384 Could n''t you leave a girl a secret if she had one?
13384Did ever you see pick or shovel build a country? 13384 Did he say anything about finding Sam Woodhull?"
13384Did he say he''d give it up?
13384Did he tell you that about me?
13384Did he-- Mr. Banion-- say anything?
13384Did n''t act scared of it?
13384Did n''t say he would n''t?
13384Did n''t you hear it, Molly?
13384Did n''t you say you wanted me on any terms?
13384Did n''t you signal for me? 13384 Did you want pay so soon?
13384Do n''t you now?
13384Do ye know what ye''re a- sayin''? 13384 Do you play any game to lose it?"
13384Do you promise?
13384Do you say enough?
13384Do you think I''m right about all this? 13384 Do you want him along with your wagons?"
13384Do you want me to tell you the truth, Jesse?
13384Do- ee see that old thief Jim Bridger? 13384 Do- ee see the tracks?
13384Does n''t it you?
13384Does this suit ye, Will?
13384Flowers?
13384For Oregon? 13384 For what?"
13384Gold?
13384Gone? 13384 Have I?"
13384Have n''t I paid for it, mother?
13384Have ye any shovels? 13384 Have ye wiped yer bar''l?"
13384He done that? 13384 He''s-- he''s safe?"
13384Her shot by a sneakin''Rapahoe? 13384 Hit"come from Californy?"
13384How are you, Bill?
13384How are you, Jim?
13384How can I look my father in the face every day, knowing what he feels about me? 13384 How can I tell?
13384How could we know where you were, or whether you''d come-- or whether you''d have been of any use if you had?
13384How could we send, man?
13384How deep?
13384How did they get here?
13384How do we know it is far? 13384 How do you know that?"
13384How do you know?
13384How far are they back?
13384How far''ll we be out, at Laramie?
13384How is she?
13384How long''ll we wait here?
13384How much is this worth to ye?
13384How old are you, really, Molly?
13384How you mean, M''sieu Kit?
13384How''d you gentlemen prefer fer to fight?
13384How''re ye ridin'', Will?
13384How''s that?
13384How''s the country?
13384How, Bordeaux?
13384I reckon-- and why should n''t he? 13384 I take it, that means me?"
13384I''m not in your council, am I?
13384If we could send back word--"We ca n''t, so what''s the use?
13384If we get in trouble and send back for you, will you come?
13384If we get through, if Molly lives, you mean?
13384Is Woodhull with ye?
13384Is it a court summons for Will Banion? 13384 Is it?"
13384Is she alive? 13384 Is this the real good- by, Will?"
13384It pains you?
13384It was about-- him? 13384 Jim Bridger?
13384Kit-- Kit Carson, you mean? 13384 Let bygones be bygones, huh?
13384Love? 13384 Man, man,"exclaimed stout- hearted Molly Wingate,"what for kind of a country have you brought us women to?
13384Most to Oregon? 13384 Must I think for you at this hour of my life?
13384No matter how?
13384No? 13384 No?
13384No? 13384 Oh, Will Banion, how could you take away a girl''s heart and leave her miserable all her life?"
13384Oh, the double?
13384Oh, well, now,demanded Kelsey, his nomad Kentucky blood dominant,"what use holding to any plan just for sake of doing it?
13384Promise?
13384Provisional? 13384 Rest of ye goin''on through, huh?"
13384Sam, if you really loved me, would you ask that? 13384 Sam, what shall we do?"
13384Shall I bring up our wagons an''jine ye all here at the ford this evenin''?
13384Shall we go back a hundred years?
13384She knows him then?
13384She''ll live?
13384Since when did you come a plainsman?
13384So that''s where they are? 13384 Spanish?"
13384Swear? 13384 The law, eh?"
13384The tip the gal give ye was a good one?
13384Then how could we pay you?
13384Then why do you come to my camp now?
13384Then you''re not going West?
13384They''ll fight?
13384Though I were a thief?
13384To Oregon? 13384 Uh- huh?
13384Was it about-- him?
13384We was friends, was n''t we, Bill?
13384We''ll ratify his captaincy, wo n''t we?
13384Well then, gentle_men_--and now he stood free of Woodhull--"ye both give word ye''ll make no break till we tell ye?
13384Well, I reckon it''s life, ai n''t it?
13384Well, anyways, they''re both off on the same journey now, and who knows what or which? 13384 Well, have n''t I got to?
13384Well, have n''t you?
13384Well, if it ai n''t the movers make a country, what does? 13384 Whar''s he at?"
13384Whar''s the bourgeois, Papin?
13384What are you going to say? 13384 What are you saying?"
13384What brung ye north, Kit?
13384What can we but lie close and hold the wagons?
13384What chance have I had to ask you before now? 13384 What cost?"
13384What could he say? 13384 What did Jim Bridger tell ye?
13384What did he say?
13384What differ does hit make, Bill?
13384What difference?
13384What do ye want o''me, son?
13384What do you make of all this, Hall?
13384What do you mean by that?
13384What do you mean, Molly?
13384What do you mean? 13384 What do you mean?"
13384What do you mean?
13384What do you mean?
13384What do you mean?
13384What do you really mean then, Molly-- you say, that''s why?
13384What do you say, men?
13384What do you yourself mean?
13384What does Major Banion say?
13384What in hell you pulling up so soon for?
13384What is it then you want to tell me? 13384 What is it you are saying then-- that a man''s a worse brute when he goes mad, as I did?"
13384What is it?
13384What is it?
13384What made him so keen?
13384What made us leave Kentucky for Indiana, and Indiana for Illinois? 13384 What odds?"
13384What shall I do, Jackson?
13384What was it then?
13384What was it, Molly?
13384What was it, man?
13384What would they all think?
13384What ye mean-- a murder, besides that?
13384What''s all this?
13384What''s his name?
13384What''s in your wagon?
13384What''s it for? 13384 What''s that?"
13384What''s the real trouble? 13384 What''s this stone, Kit-- yer medicine?"
13384What''s up-- where?
13384What''s up?
13384What? 13384 What?"
13384When?
13384Where did you get it?
13384Where''d you git hit? 13384 Where''s Bridger?"
13384Where''s Little Molly?
13384Where''s Molly now?
13384Where''s Woodhull now?
13384Where?
13384Who said I would n''t hold still?
13384Who started this?
13384Who wants my plow?
13384Who was he-- some thief?
13384Who''lected ye fer train captain, an''when was it did? 13384 Who''s for Oregon?"
13384Who''s thar?
13384Who''s the other fellow, though?
13384Who''s yer train boss, Bill?
13384Who? 13384 Why do n''t ye marry her then, damn ye, right here?
13384Why do ye ask? 13384 Why do you ask?"
13384Why do you come here? 13384 Why should I have?
13384Why should they do that? 13384 Why wait for the Californians to move?
13384Why? 13384 Wild?"
13384Will Banion did, ai n''t I told you? 13384 Will he fight?"
13384Will they never start?
13384Will two roosters that has been breasted?
13384Woodhull, what''s up? 13384 Woodhull-- did he say that?"
13384Would ye trust me, Bill, like I do you, fer sake o''the old times, when friends was friends?
13384Ye came to see me about her, Miss Molly, did n''t ye?
13384Ye damned fool, would ye believe ary promise he made, even now? 13384 Ye got any more o''hit, Kit?"
13384Ye knew this man orto kill ye, an''ye sneaked hit, did n''t ye? 13384 Ye want me ter go on, Miss Molly?"

13384You come here to face me down?
13384You do n''t know who he was?
13384You do n''t mean you''d guide us on that far? 13384 You like Sam Woodhull better for Molly, Jess?"
13384You old?
13384You shooting at a mule?
13384You takin''flowers acrost? 13384 You think I''m not a rider?
13384You think it''s Banion?
13384You want that other man, thief and dishonest as he is?
13384You want to see her?
13384You will not let me repent? 13384 You''d take my word against all the world-- just my word, if I told you it was n''t true?
13384You''re from the Liberty train?
13384You''re going back to him?
13384You''re not going to be with us any more?
13384You''re not weakening? 13384 You, Hall?"
13384You, Jed, what was this?
13384You, Jed?
13384Your-- heart?
13384_ Oui?_ And where?
13384_ Oui?_ And where?
13384''_ What you mean?"
13384A railroad?
13384Ai n''t I did enough fer ye?"
13384Ai n''t hit nigh about time now, Major?"
13384Ai n''t it a perty leetle ol''world to play with, all with nice pink stripes erroun''hit?"
13384Ai n''t thar plenty more pilgrims whar ye all come from?
13384Ai n''t that old as Mayheeco Veeayho?
13384Ai n''t that so?
13384Air the Crows down?"
13384Am I to give all I have provisionally?
13384Am I to live?
13384An Army man with a Western experience-- who''ll it be unless it is their man?
13384An''warn''t hit useful?
13384An''ye was willin''to go to Oregon-- ye''d plow rather''n leave sight o''her?
13384And after all, does n''t a woman give the odds?
13384And how could they, in so close a fight?"
13384And how could you keep the secret?"
13384And is it any wonder I would n''t train up with a thief, or allow him to visit in my family?
13384And this was Miss Molly Wingate?
13384And was n''t I elected at Westport before we started?"
13384And what am I to expect?"
13384And what do you owe me?"
13384And when will we get to Oregon?"
13384And who''s that, Jesse?"
13384And why not?
13384Are you asking me to be married in a provisional wedding?
13384Are you for Oregon?"
13384Are you?"
13384Banion, Woodhull-- had they left any word?
13384Banion?
13384But I ask you, what do I owe you?"
13384But can we trade?
13384But do you want me to be a liar to my General?
13384But if so, why the crude bivouac?
13384But might I make a few suggestions?"
13384But now, Molly,"he went on, with heat,"what''s the use talking?
13384But one question first was asked by these travel- sick home- loving people: What was the news?
13384But she slept ill. Over and over to her lips rose the same question:"Oh, Will Banion, Will Banion, why did you take away my heart?"
13384But she''s not bad-- she''s comin''through?"
13384But what could I do?
13384But what could she do?
13384But what''s the news, Bordeaux?
13384But why did you send for me?
13384But will Captain Wingate let me add even just a few words more?
13384But will you promise me one thing, sir?"
13384But ye''re carryin''news?"
13384CHAPTER XXXVII JIM BRIDGER FORGETS"What''s wrong with the people, Cale?"
13384Ca n''t it be mended?"
13384Ca n''t wait?
13384Ca n''t you forget me, Molly Wingate?"
13384Can I whip you?"
13384Can you keep this?"
13384Chardon, damn ye, carry the cup down an''set hit on his head, an''ef ye spill a drop I''ll drill ye, d''ye hear?"
13384Charge ye?
13384Could he not afford to laugh best, in spite of all events, even if some of them had not been to his own liking?
13384Could it be that in the providence of God she once had been within one deliberate step of marrying Samuel Payson Woodhull?
13384Could n''t you be happier if you did?
13384Could n''t you take your chance and see if there''s anything under the notion about more than one man and more than one woman in the world?
13384Could the gallant mare make this point?
13384Could they not in turn humble the pride of any other tribe?
13384Could this encampment, on the very front of the American civilization, now be called a home?
13384Crazy, of course; for who could pause to work on the trail with pick or shovel, with winter coming on at the Sierra crossing?
13384Danger-- yes; but what?
13384Danger?
13384Danger?
13384Did ever you see steel traps make or hold one?
13384Did ghosts live and move as men?
13384Did n''t our land more''n thribble, from a dollar and a quarter?
13384Do n''t you think so?"
13384Do n''t you, dearest?"
13384Do they think we''re Indians, or what?"
13384Do ye see that tall cottingwood tree a half mile down-- the one with the flat umbreller top, like a cypress?
13384Do you call that to me?"
13384Do you come from the Bluffs?
13384Do you look on us men as ponderable, measurable, computable?"
13384Do you mean to tell me you got squaws, you old heathen?"
13384Do you mind-- can you think of it, men?
13384Do you promise-- will you swear?"
13384Do you suppose that''ll ever do for a man of spirit like Sam Woodhull?
13384Do you want the engagement broken?
13384Do you want to be released?"
13384Do you want to go ahead, or shall I?"
13384Do you want to shoot me like a coyote?"
13384Do- ee say Jim Bridger ca n''t make buffler medicine?
13384Do- ee see''em over yan ridge-- thousands?"
13384Does he call that settled?
13384Does not that include open eyes?"
13384Eh, sir?"
13384Flowers-- do they go with the plow, too, as well as weeds?
13384Fuel?
13384Gittin''restless agin?"
13384Give me love?"
13384Go to California?
13384Go to Oregon and plow?
13384Had a new route over the Humboldt Basin been found, or something of that sort?
13384Had it not been foreordained that they should get the news here, before it was too late?
13384Had not their fathers worked with rifle lashed to the plow beam?
13384Had others preceded them?
13384Had they not beaten the Sioux?
13384Half fanatics?
13384Has n''t he done all he could to shoulder me out of my place as captain of this train?
13384Has n''t the prisoner tried to escape?
13384Have n''t I always?
13384Have n''t they had as good a chance as we ever had?
13384Have n''t you as much courage as those Mormon women on ahead?
13384Have ye any picks?
13384Have ye flour, meal, sugar-- anything?"
13384Have you anything along-- oil, flour, anything to use on burns?
13384He asked her, his fingers loosely shaken, meaning,"Where did you get it?"
13384He made trouble, huh?
13384He''ll make no more?
13384Help me up, sir?"
13384Help me up, sir?"
13384Him I left drunk an''happy last summer?
13384Hit''s easier, an''a month er two closter, with plenty o''feed an''water-- the old Cayuse trail, huh?
13384How about you, Hall?
13384How could I have forgotten?
13384How could he?"
13384How could that be?
13384How could we ask more?
13384How could ye a- help hit?
13384How dare you talk like that to me?"
13384How long was hit afore she done so-- about ten minutes?
13384How many loads you''ll got for your h''own post, Jeem?"
13384How many?
13384How?"
13384Huh?"
13384I hain''t said nothin''out''n the way, have I?
13384I suppose that''s the tendency of a woman?
13384I suppose women do adjust?
13384I''d like such fer a bride, huh?
13384I''ll say, two- three days out?"
13384I''m wondering if I do n''t get a second for that?"
13384If I promise to leave you with my train?"
13384If I were in other ways what the man of your choice should be, would this truth have any weight with you?
13384If I''ve not been shamed and humiliated, how can a man be?
13384If anything went wrong on that basis-- why, marrying would stop?
13384If not, what caravan was this, moving alone, far from the beaten trail?
13384If so, it must be rough and needing work in places, else why the need for so many shovels?
13384If something better comes, why not take it?
13384If we do n''t settle Oregon, how long''ll we hold it?
13384If you gave me life, why should n''t I give you love-- if so I could?"
13384If you love me and not just yourself alone, ca n''t you take your chance as I am taking mine?
13384If you''re sure--""Help me up, one of you?"
13384In three weeks a prowling Gros Ventre squaw found it and carried it to the trader, Bordeaux, asking,"Shoog?"
13384Indians?
13384Is he going to California to forget you and live things down?"
13384Is he with you?"
13384Is it about the girl?"
13384Is it about-- him?"
13384Is my oath provisional, or his?"
13384Is n''t a prisoner justified in trying to escape?"
13384Is n''t marriage broader and with more chance for both?
13384Is n''t that fair?"
13384Is n''t that fair?"
13384Is that all the news?"
13384Is that fur enough fer a ol''man, with snow comin''on soon?"
13384Is that hit, huh?"
13384Is that it?"
13384Is there any motion on this?"
13384Is your hull train made here?"
13384Is your last chance now as good as mine?
13384It seems as though time had been invented so that, through all its æons, our feet might run in search, one for the other-- to meet, where?
13384It was about Kit Carson, something he had-- was it about the gold news?"
13384Jess, what made us start for Oregon?"
13384Kin ye, Bill?"
13384Law, organization, society, convention, form, custom-- haven''t I got even those things to back me?
13384Let me ask once more, do I owe you anything now?"
13384Let''s talk erbout Sam Woodhull, huh?"
13384Love?
13384Marry him, after all?
13384May I come in?
13384May I ride him?"
13384May we pull in just beside you, on this water?"
13384Maybe there''s something, too, in a woman''s ability to adjust and compromise?
13384Me?
13384Mebbe more''ll leave ye thar, huh?"
13384Men can go through and make roads-- yes; but where are the women and the children to stay?
13384Moreover-- so he reasoned-- if he, Sam Woodhull, won the spoils, what matter who had won any sort of victory?
13384Mostly my squaws--""Your what?
13384News?
13384News?
13384News?
13384News?
13384News?
13384No proof?"
13384No?
13384Now what in hell brung him here?"
13384Now what''s wrong?"
13384Of course, it ca n''t be true that only one man will do for a woman to marry, or one woman for a man?
13384Oh, Will Banion, why did you take away my heart?
13384Old Greenwood suddenly broke out,"Have we left the mines an''come this fur fer nothin''?
13384One of them says to me,''Plowing, hey?
13384Only to torture me?
13384Or were there, then, other races of men out here in this unknown world of heat and sand?
13384Perhaps yonder on the flint ridge where the cover was short-- why had she not thought of that long ago?
13384Price?"
13384Provisional?
13384Rich?
13384S''pose''n we have a snort now?"
13384See''em go up?
13384Send half straight to the ford an''half come in behind, through the willers, huh?
13384Shall I give you one more chance to square things for me?
13384Shall loving hearts be kept asunder for those reasons?
13384Shall the natural course of life be thwarted until we get to Oregon?
13384So you see fit to come into my camp?"
13384So?"
13384Something to marry on?
13384Take this skunk in on a good rope like that?
13384Tell Bridger--""Why, where is it?"
13384Tell me, is n''t that it?"
13384Tell me, is this the last bad river?
13384Tell me-- you heard of no wedding back at Independence Rock?
13384That I''d ever marry a thief?"
13384That all?"
13384That makes you happy?"
13384That old man Bridger told you-- why?
13384That would be foolish, would n''t it?
13384That''d make me four hunderd mile away from home, an''four hunderd to ride back agin''huh?
13384That''s one hell of a weddin'', huh?
13384Then whar air ye?"
13384Then why?
13384There''s much in that, do n''t you think?
13384They said nothing?
13384They told me--""Is Woodhull here-- can you find him?"
13384They want fifty dollars a sack for flour-- what do you think of that?
13384They were appeased with milk from the few cows offering milk; but how long might that last, with the cattle themselves beginning to moan and low?
13384Two-- what''s their names?"
13384Uh- huh?"
13384Warn''t that fine?
13384Was it too late?
13384Was there any new word about the California trail, down at Bridger?
13384Was this a treasure train of old Spanish_ cargadores_?
13384We found ways, huh?"
13384We kain''t say fairer''n this, can we, at our time o''life, fer favor o''the old times, Bill?
13384We must have fifty- sixty thousand dollars o''dust buried under the floor, do n''t ye think?"
13384We ought to be as happy as the average married couple, do n''t you think?
13384We''ll meet in Oregon?
13384Well then, seein''as hit''s about a gal, knuckle an''skull, is that right?"
13384Well, how can I forget?"
13384Well, is it any wonder there is no love lost?
13384Well, that''s what we''re going out for, ai n''t it-- to plow?''
13384Well, what do you- all think of me?
13384Well, what of hit?
13384Whar is yer boasted superiorness as a womern?
13384Whar was he at?"
13384Whar''s Miss Molly?"
13384Whar''s yer gun?"
13384Whar''s yore guns?"
13384What I have in mind now is to ask you, do you classify me as a coward just because I counsel prudence here?"
13384What are you doing here?"
13384What are you going to do?"
13384What better will we do in Oregon?"
13384What brings ye here so late?"
13384What charge?"
13384What did they need, here at Fort Hall, on the Snake, third and last settlement of the two thousand miles of toil and danger and exhaustion?
13384What do I owe you that you should bring more trouble, as you always have?
13384What do n''t I owe to you?"
13384What do ye s''pose Jim Bridger''d care ef ye all was drownded in the Snake?
13384What do you mean?
13384What do you say, finally, Kelsey?"
13384What do you say?"
13384What do your neighbors say?"
13384What had been the cause of his sudden pulling up of his starting tongue?
13384What happened to the Donners two years back?
13384What has it come to?
13384What is it you are saying, sir?
13384What made her ride that critter?"
13384What men could fight a nation whose warriors were so unfair as all this came to?
13384What more chance did you need?
13384What need had he for a fortune or a future now?
13384What purpose had it here?
13384What real American does not?"
13384What shall we do?"
13384What sort o''iron ye carryin'', Bill?"
13384What sort of man was he, after all, so full of strange contradictions-- a savage, a criminal, yet reverent and devout?
13384What was it?
13384What ye say, Cap?"
13384What you mean?"
13384What''s Kit doing here?"
13384What''s a girl''s mind fer ef hit hain''t to think o''things?"
13384What''s eatin''ye, boy?
13384What''s he coming for-- two hundred miles away from his own post?"
13384What''s inter hit?"
13384What''s it all about?"
13384What''s money to us?
13384What''s my standing in all this?
13384What''s this here like?
13384What''s wrong here?"
13384When she''s old an''shriveled up, then ye''ll marry her, huh?"
13384When?
13384When?"
13384Where are we now?"
13384Where do you reckon he is now-- how far ahead?"
13384Where''s Woodhull?"
13384Where''s she at now?"
13384Where?"
13384Which makes things look shore hopeful an''pleasant in this yere train o''pilgrims, this bright and pleasant summer day, huh?"
13384Who could believe it?"
13384Who will ever know where their bones are laid?
13384Who''ll be the man to ride down?
13384Who''ll he be?"
13384Who''s that back of ye?"
13384Why did n''t I think?
13384Why did n''t you tell me?
13384Why did you come?"
13384Why do n''t we do it the way the big partisans allus done when the Rendyvous was over?
13384Why do n''t you marry her right now?"
13384Why go to Oregon?
13384Why had these men come here?
13384Why not go to California and dig in a day what a plow would earn in a year?
13384Why should any man remain poor?
13384Why should he go on to Oregon now?
13384Why should n''t I?
13384Why should n''t I?
13384Why should they not go?
13384Why should work be known, save the labor of picking up pure gold-- done, finished, delivered at hand to waiting and weary humanity?
13384Why the gear of travelers?
13384Why the massed arklike wagons, the scores of morning fires lifting lazy blue wreaths of smoke against the morning mists?
13384Why, rich?
13384Why, what is love?
13384Why?
13384Why?
13384Why?
13384Why?"
13384Why?"
13384Why?"
13384Why?"
13384Will this please you?"
13384Will you always believe in me in that way?
13384Will you promise?"
13384Will, are n''t you here?"
13384Wimminfolks shore air a strange race o''people, hain''t that the truth?
13384Wingate?"
13384Wingate?"
13384Wo n''t they be out here next year, with money ter spend with my pardner Vasquez an''me?"
13384Wo n''t you come on in?"
13384Woodhull?
13384Work?
13384Would ary man want to ride with me?
13384Would he have spoken too much of that acquaintance?
13384Would ye, Sam Woodhull?"
13384Ye kin?
13384Ye want to see him?"
13384Ye''ll never tell?
13384Ye''re a fool not to marry her now, but ye''re reckonin''to marry her sometime-- when the moon turns green, huh?
13384Ye''re not dead no ways, then?"
13384Ye''ve been with the Army on the coast?"
13384You do tell me that?
13384You give me leave to try again?
13384You here-- why?"
13384You know, we''ll get all the southern country to the Coast?"
13384You love him without marriage?
13384You ride him?"
13384You think he did not go on to California?"
13384You will not give me some sort of chance?"
13384You will remember the shoulder of a man who fought with you?
13384You''d kill him-- now?"
13384You''d want no proof at all?
13384You''ll do what you can now-- at any cost?"
13384what awful thing was this?
