20641	As a private, sahib?
20641	But how did he cheat? 20641 But how was it that you were not recognized by the soldiers?"

20641	How was it that you did not interfere before?
20641	How was it that you joined our little party?
20641	I have not yet asked, Major, whether we are going up into the Tirah again, this spring?
20641	I hope I am not in the way?
20641	I suppose I could not go as a volunteer, colonel?

20641	Is the general engaged?
20641	Is there anything you would wish me to do, sir? 20641 It is all very well to talk about a charge; but how are you going to charge through the bush, where every step has to be cut?
20641	It was a grand fight, Major,the colonel said;"but you were at Maiwand also, were you not?"
20641	Must I go, Colonel?
20641	Must you leave me, father?
20641	No? 20641 No?
20641	Now, can you think of anything else that would be useful? 20641 Now, just look at me; do I look like an officer and a gentleman?
20641	Oh, you have come to the nursery, have you? 20641 Shall I go and fetch the risaldar here, sahib?"
20641	These poor fellows look as if they wanted a rest more than we do, do n''t they?
20641	They are not very strong, are they, father?
20641	Well, Bullen, how does this campaign compare with that in the Tirah?
20641	Well, Hallett, how do you feel?
20641	Well, how did you like the march?
20641	Well, that is fun, is it not, Captain Bullen?
20641	Well, what is up, Bullen?
20641	Well, who are you, and how in the world is it that you are a private in the Pioneers?
20641	What alternative can there be?
20641	What are you going to do now?
20641	What did you manage to get?
20641	What do you mean to get?
20641	What do you want with us?
20641	What has happened?
20641	What have you got, boy?
20641	What have you to say, Captain Sanders?
20641	What is all this about?
20641	What is it, Gordon?
20641	What is to be done now?
20641	What is your name?
20641	What put the idea into your head?
20641	What was he saying to you?
20641	When will that be, Lisle?
20641	Where is Pertab wounded, sahib?
20641	Who on earth are you?
20641	Why did you not return at once, when the chief who captured you said that you were his guest? 20641 Why did you not tell me about it, Bullen?
20641	Why do n''t you get up when you are a winner?
20641	Why do they call you sahib?
20641	Why do you call me Bullen Sahib, Pertusal?
20641	Why should they build a better house there than at the other stations?
20641	Why, how did you learn Punjabi?
20641	Would you be disposed to take me with you?
20641	You are sure,Robah said,"that you understand the proper folding of your turban?"
20641	You did?
20641	You have got everything, sergeant?
20641	You have not seen the last gazette, I suppose?
20641	You have, of course, not settled anything about the date, Hallett?
20641	You like shooting, Captain Bullen?
20641	You mean to say that, by watching the dealer''s eye, Captain Sanders leaves one pound or five on his card?
20641	You talk the Pathan language with facility?
20641	You went as a soldier?
20641	A nice example to set to your Hausas, is n''t it?"
20641	An hour passed silently, and then Lisle asked:"How are you feeling, now?"
20641	And he was your father?"
20641	And now, how are you?"
20641	And so you are an officer in his regiment?"
20641	And what are you going to do now?"
20641	Are you a good shot?"
20641	Besides, how could the son of our dear captain go as a private?"
20641	Bullen?"
20641	Bullen?"
20641	But have you enough to carry you on till you hear from your agent?"
20641	Do n''t you see that I know all about it, and that it is ridiculous for you to pretend to misunderstand me?"
20641	Do you guarantee our safety, if we return with you to your fort?"
20641	Do you see those two there close together, about forty yards away?
20641	Have you also observed the act of cheating of which he accuses Captain Sanders?"
20641	He opened the door, and said:"Colonel Houghton, will you step in here, for a moment?"
20641	He was startled when the man behind him said:"Hillo, young fellow, who on earth are you?
20641	Holmes?"
20641	How about your luggage?"
20641	How came you to be such a good shot?"
20641	How do you think that I had better go?"
20641	How do you wish the uniform of your supposed cousin to be sent to you?"
20641	How long have you left it?"
20641	How long is it since you joined the regiment?"
20641	I dare say you know that you succeeded to your company, just six months ago?"
20641	I hope you have made up your mind to go through scarlet fever, or measles, Hallett?"
20641	I suppose it was done so that you might fill the place of your cousin?"
20641	I suppose the men who accompanied you are still here?"
20641	If this is the case, here, what must it be in the forest and swamps behind?"
20641	Is it painful?"
20641	Of course, you have your blanket with you?"
20641	Retrace our steps, or push on and chance it?"
20641	Sahib, if only our food were so condensed that we could carry a supply for twelve days about us, what would we not be able to do?
20641	Scouting half a mile ahead of them, on your own account?"
20641	The question arose, how were the stakes to be tied together?
20641	Tritton exclaimed,"how could he possibly have lost so much as that?
20641	Was there not some fair young Afridi, who held you in her chains?"
20641	We can understand that you have been held as a hostage, but how is it that you are here?
20641	What have been your losses?"
20641	What is he thinking of doing?"
20641	What is the life of a soldier to that of an officer?"
20641	What is the use of living, if you are to have no satisfaction out of life?"
20641	What on earth are we to do now?
20641	What were you doing?
20641	Whatever have you been doing now?"
20641	When he came within a hundred yards he halted, and shouted:"Are you ready to pay the tribute fixed upon?"
20641	When will you march, sahib?"
20641	Which officer do you think I had better speak to?"
20641	Why not strive for the position of a field marshal, who has the possibility of becoming commander in chief?
20641	Why should a hundred horsemen engage in hunting the poor brute down?
20641	Will you tell me what you saw?"
20641	Would you rather be on staff duty, or rejoin your regiment?"
20641	You did not speak to him in English, I hope, Villiers?"
20641	You do n''t carry a charm about with you, do you?"
20641	You do n''t suppose that married men can keep matters like this from their wives?
20641	You see that tree up there?
20641	You were also, I believe, in two or three dashing affairs before Maiwand?"
20641	You wish to see fighting, do you not?"
20641	he said, in surprise;"and why did you not speak to me in it, before?
20641	the officer said to Lisle,"do you think you can pick off that fellow in the white burnoose?
26256	''Twill not make you dislike me, Mistress Stoddard?
26256	''twas not as big as a calf,declared Anne;"and why should you seek to kill a wild creature who wants but a drink?
26256	A spy? 26256 Afraid of what?"
26256	Am I not to tell Mistress Stoddard?
26256	Am I to ask Rose to walk with me?
26256	Amanda,said Anne,"you know you gave me the nice white kitten?"
26256	Amos, can you spell my name?
26256	And desert Province Town?
26256	And may I go with you, Mistress Stoddard?
26256	And now, father, shall we go back and live in the little house by the shore? 26256 And what have Truro men done?"
26256	And what think you has happened at the spring this morning?
26256	And what would become of them if their mother should die, and their father be lost at sea?
26256	And you have not forgotten your father?
26256	Anne,she called shrilly,"may I go up to your house and play with you?"
26256	Are you always to be seeking your father without telling us? 26256 Are you going inshore, Amos?"
26256	But can she not taste it now?
26256	But how can you make safe landing there, Enos?
26256	But if I make another doll, a fine wooden doll, as near like yours as I can, would you like to give that to Amanda?
26256	But what can we do if we can not fish?
26256	But what will you do, father? 26256 But why should he kill it?"
26256	But you are not angry?
26256	Ca n''t you tow our boat down to Province Town?
26256	Can we not do that, Aunt Martha, when May is really here?
26256	Can we not take long strings and fasten flowers about them?
26256	Can we not write the letter to- night?
26256	Can you not sing it when we do''dance round the May tree,''Aunt Starkweather?
26256	Can you walk across the pasture if we set you ashore near here?
26256	Could n''t the wolf be tamed?
26256	Could n''t we get across to Long Point?
26256	Did Anne slip out while we talked?
26256	Did you not bring the coral beads?
26256	Do the Cary children think me like that? 26256 Do you not remember?"
26256	Do you suppose Amos can really make a fire?
26256	Do your little girls write you letters?
26256	Does he so?
26256	Does n''t Captain Enos want you to go?
26256	Has Jimmie Starkweather been telling thee more foolish tales of a big wolf that comes prowling about at night?
26256	Has the sailorman any little girl?
26256	Have those Cary children been saying hateful words to you again, child?
26256	Have you any news of John Nelson?
26256	House Point Island, eh?
26256	How came you in the chest, child?
26256	How can he?
26256	How could there be news of a man whose boat sunk under him well off Race Point in a southerly gale?
26256	How did you get there?
26256	How shall we ever feel safe about thee, child?
26256	How should I get back to Province Town?
26256	How soon will you come, father?
26256	How will they know where we are?
26256	How will you send it, Uncle Enos?
26256	I can make a fire when things get dry,said Amos;"how do you suppose Indians make fires when they are off like this?
26256	I wonder if there''s any harm done at the settlement?
26256	I would wish to know what''traitor''might mean, Mistress Stoddard?
26256	I''d rather have some Indian meal mush,replied Amanda;"ca n''t you swim across to Long Point, Amos, and hurry home and send some one after us?"
26256	I''ve got one good oar, have n''t I? 26256 If I keep silent and bring the package safely, will you forgive me for hiding in the boat?"
26256	If Mistress Stoddard says that you may keep the kitten may I stay and play a little while?
26256	Is it an ill- seeming word?
26256	Is your cow lost, too?
26256	It is indeed, Mistress Stoddard,replied Anne happily;"shall I begin to- night?"
26256	May I not go with him, Aunt Martha? 26256 May I not knit a long time to- day, Aunt Martha?"
26256	May I put them around my neck, Aunt Martha?
26256	May I put this on the fire, Aunt Martha?
26256	No,said Amos;"why should we walk?
26256	Oh, Amanda, would n''t Amos sail us to Boston to find my father? 26256 Oh, yes,"said Anne;"do you think I could catch enough for Uncle Enos''s supper?"
26256	Out there?
26256	Seven little girls?
26256	Shall I give it to you now, Uncle Enos?
26256	Shall I go to school, Aunt Martha?
26256	Shall we play games?
26256	Should I have called you''Aunt''?
26256	Should we see Rose Freeman?
26256	So you did not mean to run away from us?
26256	Then we could not walk to Boston from there?
26256	Then you do not like living with us?
26256	Then you mean to go home with me?
26256	To be sure she does, and why not?
26256	Uncle Enos, could we not go to Boston again and find my father?
26256	Want an apple?
26256	Want to fish?
26256	We''ll dig the hole in the sand, and then find some dry wood,said Anne;"anything cooked will taste good, wo n''t it?"
26256	Well, Amanda,said Mrs. Stoddard, as the two girls came into the kitchen,"are you not glad to have Anne safe home again?
26256	Well, well, Anne, and do you think you should stay away like this? 26256 Were n''t you abed and asleep when I left the house this morning?"
26256	What are we going to do now?
26256	What are you making, Uncle Enos?
26256	What could befall him?
26256	What did we do for pleasure, Martha, before Anne came to live with us? 26256 What did you hide in the sloop for, child?"
26256	What do you think Amanda Cary will say when she hears of your voyage to Boston and of all the fine things you have seen there? 26256 What do you want to get out to Captain Enos''s boat for?"
26256	What for?
26256	What for?
26256	What is that for?
26256	What think you, Anne?
26256	What were they doing with you, child?
26256	When they have closed the port of Boston, so that no ship but the king''s war- ships dare go in and out? 26256 When?"
26256	Where did they come from, Jimmie?
26256	Where do you suppose they found them?
26256	Where is the packet your father handed you?
26256	Where on earth did you come from?
26256	Who knows?
26256	Why does n''t he go then?
26256	Will she not be pleased?
26256	Will they kill our cow?
26256	Will they take Brownie?
26256	Will you, Amos? 26256 Wo n''t father find us to- day?"
26256	Wo n''t the dory do for one side?
26256	Would you like better to live in Boston than here?
26256	Would you like to make Amanda Cary a present?
26256	Would you please to tell me where I can find Squire Coffin?
26256	Yes, indeed,agreed Amanda;"do you suppose they will come after us this morning, Anne?"
26256	Yes,replied Amanda;"has it run away?"
26256	Yes,said Amanda,"and will it not be fine to eat our dinner out- of- doors?
26256	You are not a''traitor''or a''spy,''are you, father?
26256	You are not from Province Town?
26256	You do n''t think she has noticed what I am doing, do you?
26256	You do not think there was great harm in my hiding in the sloop, Aunt Martha?
26256	You know the little valleys between the row of sand- hills near the shore? 26256 You like me now, Anne?"
26256	You would not say them now, Amanda, would you?
26256	A Boston schooner outward bound had come near to where he was fishing, and in response to his hail and call of"What news?"
26256	And take Amanda and me with you to find my father?
26256	And what has become of your sunbonnet?"
26256	And you are not afraid of a Britisher?"
26256	Are not the fishing- boats all at anchor?
26256	Be they kind to you?"
26256	But how came you in the sloop?"
26256	CHAPTER XVI THE MAY PARTY"A May- day party, eh?"
26256	Can I take it down now?"
26256	Did you ever see so many on one bush?"
26256	Do you see this shining brass button?
26256	Do you understand?"
26256	Does it mean an orphan child, Mistress Stoddard?"
26256	Does it not smell sweet?"
26256	How old are you?"
26256	How would you like that, Anne?"
26256	If we do not fish how shall we eat?"
26256	Is the chowder steaming hot and waiting?"
26256	See?
26256	Suppose a great storm had come up and swept the sloop from her moorings that night?"
26256	That is kind of him, is it not, Anne?"
26256	The Cary children also called after me that my father was a''traitor''; is that an ill- seeming word?"
26256	The Stoddards are good to you, Anne?
26256	They are indeed kind to you?"
26256	They task thee not beyond thy strength?
26256	We''ve got a boat; ca n''t you make an oar and row us home, Amos?"
26256	What do you want to go out to the sloop for?"
26256	What if they should never reach Boston at all?
26256	What means it that the men are not about their fishing?
26256	Where did the blue cape come from?"
26256	Would Amos be afraid?"
26256	Would you like it better if I put a spoonful of molasses over it?"
26256	Would you like me to teach you?"
26256	You do not forget him?"
26256	You have had a fine visit, Anne?"
26256	You''d not break Mistress Stoddard''s heart by taking away the child?"
26256	[ Illustration: SHE WORKED STEADILY]"And what is Terra del Fuego?"
26256	[ Illustration: THE BOAT BEGAN TO TIP]"How far is Barnstable from Boston?"
26256	and they speak pleasantly to thee?"
26256	and why do you wish to know, Anne?"
26256	exclaimed Anne,"if there be a chance to send a letter could you not write for me?
26256	exclaimed Mrs. Stoddard angrily,"and what reply did you make, Anne?"
26256	exclaimed Mrs. Stoddard,"and what else did they say?"
26256	exclaimed the little girl,"what are you doing down on the shore in the night?"
26256	he exclaimed grabbing the package, in what seemed a very rude manner to Anne, and putting it quickly in his pocket,"and how came you by it?"
26256	responded her friend;"who has been talking to you of spies?"
26256	she asked,"that Uncle Enos may see to write?"
26256	she exclaimed, holding out the box toward Aunt Martha;"what are these shining things; all pink and round?"
26256	who''s got the button?"
40525	Adheres?
40525	And have you proved it otherwise?
40525	And how does Kathie bear it?
40525	And what puzzles you?
40525	And what troubles you?
40525	And why does not Mrs. Wilder interfere, or is she on the patrician side?
40525	And you will forgive that-- revenge? 40525 And you would like to have her come?"
40525	And you would not have done this? 40525 Are you asked to give up always?"
40525	Are you going to Belle Hadden''s party?
40525	Are you going to keep Kathie all the afternoon?
40525	Are you sorry that you did it?
40525	Are you sure you''ve been here all the time? 40525 Are you well?
40525	Aunt Ruth,she said, in a little perplexity,"why is it that a person is not always willing to try to do right first of all?
40525	Belle,she began, sharply,"how could you have committed such a blunder as to omit that pretty little Miss Alston from your party- list?
40525	But O, did n''t you miss Rob?
40525	But O, is n''t it lonely?
40525	But he wo n''t go,she sobbed;"do you think he will?
40525	But how can you tell?
40525	But how did you come to visit the Strongs?
40525	But how to come?
40525	But if I were drafted?
40525	But if education should make Sarah discontented and unhappy?
40525	But if you were a man and had a wife, as well as bairnies, three or four, or half a dozen, and were compelled to leave them to poverty?
40525	But what are you doing over here? 40525 But what if-- she_ should_ be ashamed of her home, after all?
40525	But what makes you-- what keeps you in such a heaven of content? 40525 But what_ is_ it?"
40525	But, Kathie-- what has happened, little one?
40525	Can I help you?
40525	Can such blossoming bring forth good, wholesome fruit?
40525	Child, are you one of God''s own-- Heaven- sent? 40525 Child,"he asked,"how did you stand fire last winter when you were so suddenly brought to the front?
40525	Could n''t I?
40525	DO you think we could go to Middleville to- day?
40525	Did he?
40525	Did it surprise you when you heard that you were drafted?
40525	Did they live here then?
40525	Did you have a nice visit?
40525	Did you mean to enlist any way?
40525	Do n''t you get dreadfully dull sometimes?
40525	Do n''t you have a little too much in- doors and study?
40525	Do n''t you like tableaux?
40525	Do you love me so well, my child? 40525 Do you not find it easier than you did two years ago?"
40525	Do you not?
40525	Do you really wish me to?
40525	Do you suppose it is really true?
40525	Do you suppose there is anything in it?
40525	Do you want to put the lichen up in your room?
40525	Does not God leave a little to us? 40525 Girls, have n''t you asked Kathie Alston?"
40525	Has he been in any scrapes yet, Miss Kathie?
40525	Has n''t he? 40525 Have you brought her?"
40525	Have you heard bad news?
40525	Have you sold anything?
40525	Here,--to Brookside?
40525	Home- guard?
40525	How can_ she_ help it?
40525	How did you come to take it?
40525	How do you do, Sarah?
40525	How do you make them''ere things?
40525	How is Miss Jessie to- night?
40525	How much fur these caliker aperns?
40525	I heard Sarah ask if she might write to you; what did you answer?
40525	I wonder if there is n''t something better to this life than the clothes one wears?
40525	I wonder if you will be homesick?
40525	I wonder why it is, Kathie? 40525 In what respect?"
40525	Injudicious, I suppose you mean? 40525 Is it about Uncle Robert?"
40525	Is it discouraging to eat when you are hungry?
40525	Is it true that there is a scarcity of substitutes?
40525	Is it? 40525 Is n''t it dreadful?"
40525	Is n''t it odd,Mr. Meredith said, in a lower tone, taking his wife''s hand,"that it was through Kathie we came to know each other?
40525	Is n''t your uncle willing that you should have a chambermaid?
40525	Is that_ all_ you''ve taken in?
40525	Is this Middleville?
40525	Is your brother anywhere about?
40525	It is discouraging,--isn''t it, Aunt Ruth?
40525	It is right to have the cultivation, the pretty houses, the beautiful furniture and pictures and-- dresses?
40525	It is too bad,--isn''t it? 40525 It is very good of them,--isn''t it?"
40525	It seems hard, does n''t it, just for one little thing? 40525 It was n''t merely your regard for your mother or Uncle Robert?"
40525	Mamma, why did not we, when we were very poor, grow careless? 40525 Miss-- Kathie-- Alston?"
40525	No?
40525	Not particularly,--why?
40525	Now, Sary Ann, where''s the picter you want?
40525	Now, which is the back road, I wonder?
40525	O mamma, why?
40525	O, have n''t you heard?
40525	Our other soldier--"Mr. Morrison-- O child, what tidings of him?
40525	Pasted on?
40525	Shall I read it aloud?
40525	So you are not quite convinced that it is wisest to sow beside all waters?
40525	So you really wo n''t do that little favor?
40525	So you think it rather funny to be forced to do what you would not choose of your free- will?
40525	Suppose we should drive out to see her on some Saturday? 40525 The being drafted as well?"
40525	Then I suppose I ought to try and make some one happy?
40525	Then he is not sorry that he re- enlisted?
40525	Then you think I may?
40525	Then you think I ought to volunteer?
40525	There_ can not_ be any mistake?
40525	To assist you in learning your lessons?
40525	Uncle Robert, would it be rude to send Sarah a pretty blue hair- ribbon, and tell her a little about contrasting colors? 40525 Uncle Robert,"Kathie said, as they were riding homeward,"could a drafted man offer a substitute just the same?"
40525	Uncle Robert,he began, presently,"do n''t you think it fair that I should follow out my own wishes_ sometimes_?
40525	Uncle Robert,she said,"do you believe there is any hope that Mr. Morrison may still be alive?"
40525	WELL, Kathie, was the visit a success?
40525	Was Santa Claus good to you, Miss Kathie?
40525	Was it really lost time?
40525	Was it some more Christmas?
40525	Was my letter all right?
40525	Well, Miss Thoughtful, what is it now? 40525 Well, should you know me?"
40525	Well?
40525	What about the cowardice of the proceeding?
40525	What did Ada say?
40525	What did he do?
40525	What has happened among you girls? 40525 What is it?"
40525	What is it?
40525	What is it?
40525	What is that, Lottie?
40525	What is the matter now? 40525 What is the matter?
40525	What ought I to do, little one?
40525	What perplexes you then, Kitty?
40525	What should you do, Kathie Alston, if you had been intimate with her?
40525	What then?
40525	What will there be so jolly about it, Rob?
40525	What will you do?
40525	What will you give me for a letter with a grand seal as if it came from the very Commander- in- Chief or the President? 40525 What''s the price of this?"
40525	What?
40525	When there is no company? 40525 When will you go?"
40525	Where does Mr. Jotham Strong live?
40525	Where is he?
40525	Where is your uncle?
40525	Where shall we drive?
40525	Where were you going gypsy fashion?
40525	Where_ do_ people make a distinction? 40525 Whether it would be proper,--is that what you mean?"
40525	Which is the back road?
40525	Which way you goin''?
40525	Which would give you the most satisfaction,--to know that you had made two or three people happy, or to enjoy some pleasure alone by yourself? 40525 Who is_ she_?"
40525	Who of us has? 40525 Why did you do it at all then?"
40525	Why did you not speak of it, Kathie?
40525	Why not, to be sure?
40525	Why, Miss Weston,he said, softly,"where''s your specs?
40525	Why, what else could I do? 40525 Will you try?"
40525	Would a thousand dollars be too much?
40525	Would you like me to accompany you? 40525 Would you mind running out?
40525	Would you take the buggy?
40525	Yet when one means to try-- is trying-- will it never come easy?
40525	You are going over to Mrs. Coleman''s,--are you not?
40525	You are going to the Darrells''?
40525	You believe, Miss Kathie, that what we do at home is just as good in God''s eyes as if we did it for a stranger? 40525 You did n''t ask him to do it?"
40525	You find, then, that no one is quite exempt from the warfare?
40525	You have heard the news, Kitty?
40525	You still go to school?
40525	Your side?
40525	Ah, was it not true that God restored fourfold?
40525	Ai n''t your feet half froze?"
40525	And if he never came back--""But, Uncle Robert, do n''t you think it right for a man to be patriotic?"
40525	And was Sarah having a bright Christmas?
40525	And was there not something grander and finer in this last act of heroism than many people were capable of?
40525	And why is n''t your hair done up in queer little puffs?"
40525	And why would n''t she be just as good and just as much of a lady if she did take it?
40525	Any new gift for Sarah?"
40525	Are the ponies in good order?"
40525	Are they really rich,--the Alstons?"
40525	Are you not satisfied to have me stay, or am I less of a hero in your eyes?"
40525	Are you quite sure?"
40525	Are you really going to have them?"
40525	Been in the Dutch kitchen?"
40525	But O, will he never get well?
40525	But she said, rather gayly,"In what respect?"
40525	Can you crochet?"
40525	Did n''t that make her blood a little blue?
40525	Did you finish your shopping?"
40525	Did you make the frames?"
40525	Do n''t you keep servants?
40525	Do n''t you s''pose I could put''em up?
40525	Do n''t you suppose he is just aching to be at home?"
40525	Do n''t you suppose you shall ever go to Saratoga?"
40525	Do they think Mr. Meredith will-- never get well?"
40525	Do you believe that your God_ could_ love and pity me a little?"
40525	Do you ever go chestnutting?"
40525	Do you go to school there?
40525	Do you know Indian pipe?"
40525	Do you know how to make''em?"
40525	Do you like her?"
40525	Do you think He will accept me, Kathie?"
40525	Does not your teacher correct you?"
40525	Does-- Miss Jessie know?"
40525	Had she been challenged at the outpost and found without a countersign?
40525	Has she offended you?
40525	Have they found his body?"
40525	Have you begun gardening yet, Kathie?
40525	How can we spare him?"
40525	How could she direct another?
40525	How did you do it?"
40525	How is your uncle?
40525	How much duty did a man or a woman owe to these great life questions?
40525	I thought it quite hard to be treated so unjustly at school, but what was it compared with giving up one''s life?"
40525	I wonder if we do not sometimes forget the One who died eighteen hundred years ago?
40525	I wonder what makes it?"
40525	I''ll be sure to remember that,"Sarah answered, with great earnestness;"and what else?"
40525	If he do it bravely, is it not a little of the good fruit?
40525	If his friends should not have heard, will you please inform them?
40525	If she could have chosen for him, like Charlie, she would have desired his return; but if every wife and every mother felt so about their soldiers?
40525	Is it a natural gift or grace?"
40525	Is it not unjust to ask me to give up always?"
40525	Is it wrong for everybody to look as pretty as he or she can?"
40525	Is it_ quite_ right?"
40525	Is n''t it delightful to have this sofa?
40525	Is n''t it hideously ugly?
40525	Is n''t there something very unjust about girls,--some girls, I mean?"
40525	Is that the uncle you wrote about in your letter?"
40525	Is there a standing quarrel?"
40525	It seemed that she knew so little herself, how then could she direct another?
40525	Kathie, how_ can_ you bear everything so patiently?"
40525	Kathie, will you run over to the Lodge and ask Mr. Morrison to drive me to the station by six?"
40525	Need it occupy all one''s time and one''s desires?
40525	Now she made sundry mysterious confidences, prefaced with,"Would you have believed it?"
40525	Now what do you think we ought to give him?"
40525	Now, mother, you wo n''t let Freddy meddle with them while I am gone,--will you?
40525	Once in a while we can do larger things; but is n''t it the little deeds that require the most patience?
40525	She hated to be considered mean or shabby, or, worst of all, deficient in taste; yet how much of it was right?
40525	So you came near losing your dear uncle, my child?"
40525	That Lottie should be vexed with her she did not so much wonder at, but why should the other girls shun her?
40525	That looks rather unjust, does n''t it?"
40525	The grace of God; but then how was one to get this grace?
40525	Then he said,"Of what are you thinking, my darling?"
40525	Then, looking into her eyes,"You have heard--""About Mr. Meredith?
40525	There''s no one here, so why ca n''t you shut up shop?"
40525	They like a rambling, restless life, and care little for danger, little for death; but is it an intelligent courage,--the highest and noblest kind?
40525	Was Rob fighting the good fight?
40525	Was death only an interruption to pleasure?
40525	Was he growing more serious, clearer- eyed?
40525	Was it God''s love and grace that brought human souls so near together and made them one great family?
40525	Was it because Ada was more gracious than usual?
40525	Was it because Kathie always had some good work in hand?
40525	Was it selfish not to want to stay here?
40525	Was n''t it sad?"
40525	Was this the love of God,--the grace which was promised to well- doing?
40525	Well, Sary Ann?
40525	Were all the rest of the world to have their own way and pleasures, and he never?
40525	What can we ever do to merit them?"
40525	What correspondent have you in Washington, we would all like to know?"
40525	What could Kathie say,--blame her brave comrade?
40525	What could she do of her own self?
40525	What good could he do?"
40525	What had she done to these girls?
40525	What if he should be homesick?
40525	What is the inside of their house like?"
40525	What is your opinion, Dora?"
40525	What other mistakes were there?"
40525	What was it that helped his mother, and Uncle Robert, and Kathie?
40525	What was the man''s life?
40525	What was there about this family that charmed so insensibly?
40525	What was there to cry about?
40525	What will Ada say?
40525	What would Miss Jessie say?
40525	What''s the price of that?"
40525	What_ is_ it?"
40525	What_ was_ Miss Weston doing in the Dutch kitchen all this while?
40525	When he came back to her he said, softly,"Kathie, will you not come and keep her table for a little while?
40525	Where do you find such beautiful specimens?"
40525	Where is Middleville?"
40525	Who_ is_ Kathie Alston, anyhow?
40525	Whose could it be?
40525	Why could n''t he remember?
40525	Why could n''t the girls have stayed on the balcony and talked?
40525	Why did n''t God make the wrong so that you could see it plainly?"
40525	Why did n''t she put blue, by way of contrast?"
40525	Why did n''t some one think of her?
40525	Why had it been so hard a moment ago?
40525	Why had it not been as easy to be good and pleasant to- night as some other times when mamma did not think a coveted indulgence necessary?
40525	Why have n''t you asked her and Kathie Alston?"
40525	Why should the Alstons be ashamed of it?
40525	Why-- isn''t it delightful?"
40525	Will it make her coarse and vulgar?"
40525	Will you go?"
40525	Wo n''t it be jolly?"
40525	Would it answer?"
40525	Would one really grand action make amends for all?"
40525	Yet what could be left out?
40525	Yet, if she lost her fortune, would they let her drop out of sight and out of mind?
40525	You do n''t have to work,--do you?"
40525	You do not think mamma would object?"
40525	You remember Mrs. Duncan?
40525	You remember the day he was so elated about the draft?"
40525	You think it was not right for me to tell?"
40525	_ Can_ you answer my question?
40525	a lady like you?
40525	asked Uncle Robert,"or is it a secret?"
40525	exclaimed Kathie, with a cry,"is there any news?
40525	exclaimed Uncle Robert;"are you ready?"
40525	the latter exclaimed, fretfully,"are n''t you half tired to death, Kathie Alston?
40525	with a quick cry,"did you read this?"
11556	A madman, sir? 11556 A submarine boat?"
11556	All right, Spade?
11556	And Thomas Roch?
11556	And has Thomas Roch also sold you the secret of his deflagrator?
11556	And who are the persons who have thus disappeared from Healthful House?
11556	At what depth are we now?
11556	Both of them?
11556	But are you not afraid he may give his secret away?
11556	But if Ker Karraje''s secrets are known, do you suppose the powers are not also aware of the existence of the Count d''Artigas''submarine boat?
11556	But what about our expeditions at sea?
11556	But will there not be a great and ever- impending danger in accumulating large quantities of it? 11556 But,"asked the Count,"is Thomas Roch never left alone?"
11556	By the entrance gate?
11556	By what right, sir?
11556	Could n''t he at least pay some attention to us?
11556	Could n''t you, Gaydon, get him to talk about his fulgurator?
11556	Do these fits to which Thomas Roch is subject last long?
11556	Does n''t anybody know about it up at Healthful House? 11556 Gaydon,"demanded the director,"where is Thomas Roch?"
11556	Has Back Cup been attacked?
11556	Has Thomas Roch,I ask,"made you acquainted with the composition of his explosive?"
11556	Has it no bolts?
11556	Has the schooner excited suspicion, and been chased to the entrance to the passes? 11556 Have you no idea as to their nationality?"
11556	Healthful House, where I was sequestrated after Warder Gaydon had been entrusted with the mission of spying upon me in order to rob me of my secret? 11556 How are you going to open it?"
11556	How much will you give me for it-- how much?
11556	How much-- how much?
11556	I am Warder Gaydon, the attendant of Thomas Roch,I continue,"and I want to know why you have carried me off and placed me on board this schooner?"
11556	I understand from your remark that I shall be furnished with the means of returning to America when I want to go?
11556	Is anybody about?
11556	Is he then absolutely mad?
11556	Is her voyage one of business or pleasure?
11556	Is it possible?
11556	Ker Karraje is not here, then?
11556	Kidnap us?
11556	May I ask,I continue,"how you came to find out that Gaydon, the warder, was Simon Hart, the engineer?"
11556	My deflagrator?
11556	My invention?
11556	My opinion, Mr. Serko? 11556 My work?"
11556	Notwithstanding Thomas Roch''s mental condition?
11556	Of what use are these millions to him if he is not allowed to enjoy them outside?
11556	Of what use could it be to us, Serko?
11556	One word, Lieutenant Davon, how did you penetrate to the interior of Back Cup?
11556	Shall I be permitted to roam about wherever I please?
11556	Shall I weigh anchor?
11556	The tug?
11556	Thomas Roch, would you dare to fire upon your country''s flag-- the tricolor flag?
11556	Thomas Roch?
11556	Through the wall of the cavern?
11556	Vengeance?--against whom?
11556	Well, Mr. Simon Hart,he says,"are you getting accustomed to your tranquil existence?
11556	Well, and what then?
11556	What I think about it? 11556 What chord?"
11556	What do you want to say to me, Simon Hart?
11556	What has that to do with us?
11556	What is her name?
11556	What is his nationality?
11556	What is that?
11556	What is the use when no one is near to hear you?
11556	What is to be done?
11556	What is your opinion about it?
11556	What is your opinion?
11556	What others?
11556	What then? 11556 When one is caught in a trap----""One can cry out, I suppose?"
11556	Where is the captain?
11556	Where is the_ Sword_, Lieutenant?
11556	Where?
11556	Who are you, then?
11556	Who was it then, may I ask?
11556	Why so?
11556	Why, those men who threw themselves upon Thomas Roch and me, who gagged, bound, and carried us off and shut us up, I know not where?
11556	Why?
11556	Will she be gone long?
11556	Yes, but on this side there is the wall, and if you succeed in climbing it, how are you going to get over it again with Thomas Roch? 11556 Yes, how did you know?"
11556	You are perfectly sure about it?
11556	You claim that three men threw themselves upon you?
11556	You know who I am?
11556	You refer to Thomas Roch, I presume, Count?
11556	You, of course, sir, have no intention of refusing me permission to go over your schooner?
11556	You?
11556	17 was situated, he said:"You managed, I presume, to thoroughly explore the place, and are acquainted with every detail of it?"
11556	A Spaniard?
11556	A volcano in these parts?
11556	Already thinking of leaving us, Mr. Gaydon,--of returning to your dismal pavilion at Healthful House?
11556	Am I in condition to reply to the questions that Engineer Serko is dying to put to me?
11556	Am I not imprisoned in the hold of a ship under way?
11556	Am I not in the power of an evildoer anxious to ensure impunity for his crimes and to defy the law by seeking refuge in this undiscoverable burrow?
11556	Am I not meant to understand from this that I must give up all hope of ever recovering my liberty?
11556	Am I the dupe of an illusion?
11556	And Thomas Roch, what has become of him?
11556	And might not this bottle by chance-- an ultra- providential chance, I must avow-- be picked up by a ship passing near Back Cup?
11556	And now, Mr. Hart, where is Ker Karraje''s tug?"
11556	And that Count d''Artigas, with his Spanish name and Asiatic type, where does he come from?
11556	And then what does he care whether the brigand''s name is Count''d''Artigas or Ker Karraje?
11556	And then, why does the_ Ebba_ have recourse to this submarine towing system?
11556	And was it reasonable, was it permissible, to suppose for an instant that he had been carried off for the benefit of a private individual?
11556	And who knows but what one day, he will try the experiment?
11556	And who knows but what, in my new position, I may finally discover the secret of Roth''s fulgurator?
11556	And why should I not succeed now that Ker Karraje, Engineer Serko, Captain Spade, and the pirates have taken their posts outside?
11556	And yet, without the intervention of Providence, what hope is there for me?
11556	And, in the first place, am I alone?
11556	Are the crew engaged in loading or unloading merchandise?
11556	Are they going to drop me overboard to drown like a rat, so as to get rid of a dangerous witness?
11556	Are they going to let me out at last?
11556	Are they going to put me back in my dark prison at the bottom of the hold?
11556	Are they safe and sound like us-- for I suppose that Thomas Roch has also survived?
11556	Are we not going to leave this island, which appears to be isolated, to the west?
11556	Are you not Simon Hart?"
11556	Are you not more closely confined within the walls of this cavern than you ever were at Healthful House?"
11556	Besides, how could the vessel have reached the open sea?
11556	Besides, what am I to the men who have carried us off?
11556	But after all, what does it matter?
11556	But does the compartment in which I am confined, really belong to a ship?
11556	But has this inventor entirely lost the use of his intellectual faculties?"
11556	But how can she escape them since they will swoop back upon her?
11556	But if the door was locked, how were they going to get in?
11556	But if they have not condemned me to die of thirst, neither have they condemned me to die of hunger, I suppose?
11556	But of what use is this knowledge to me?
11556	But what I should like to know is, has he acted as the agent of a foreign power, or on his own account?
11556	But what about the sailing ship that was to port of us?
11556	But what is it?
11556	But what is this-- and how on earth could I have failed to notice it before?
11556	But what were those reasons?
11556	But where is Thomas Roch?
11556	But where is it generated?
11556	But whither are my thoughts wandering?
11556	But who is this Count d''Artigas?
11556	But who were the kidnappers?
11556	But why do they submit to such an existence?
11556	But why should Thomas Roch be landed again?
11556	But will the vessels sighted continue on their course in this direction?
11556	But with what object?
11556	CHAPTER V. WHERE AM I?
11556	Can I hesitate at a murder that will bring about the chastisement of so many crimes?
11556	Can he be in the throes of a fresh paroxysm?
11556	Can there be room for doubt that it was Thomas Roch?
11556	Come now, have I made a mistake?
11556	Continuing my walk I perceive on the northern side of the lagoon the habitations of this colony of troglodytes-- do they not merit the appellation?
11556	Could any circumstance occur to counteract it-- to"exteriorize"him, as it were?
11556	Could any plausible hypothesis be deducted from the type presented by Count d''Artigas?
11556	Days?
11556	Did she then not make straight for the American coast?
11556	Did they realize that I was trying to discover by what means the schooner was propelled?
11556	Did those brave Englishmen perish in the collision?
11556	Do they never leave their rocky retreat?
11556	Do you appreciate at their just merit the advantages of this enchanted grotto?
11556	Do you imagine you are free, Thomas Roch?
11556	Do you know what were their intentions in entering the cavern?"
11556	Do you know where Thomas Roch is?"
11556	Do you, may I ask, refer to the Frenchman, Thomas Roch?"
11556	Does he imagine that Warder Gaydon ever heard of Trophonius?
11556	Does he insist upon preparing the explosive in secret and does he intend to keep the formula thereof to himself?
11556	Does he perceive the change in his situation?
11556	Does he realize the inanity of the hypothesis I try to pass off on him?
11556	Does he scour the seas with him, sharing the enviable life enjoyed by the rich yachtsman?
11556	Does he think I know more than I will say?
11556	Does he think of speaking to one or other of these men, and if they speak to him will he be more reasonable than he was with me, and reply to them?
11556	Does he wish to profit alone by Thomas Roch''s invention, and is he in the position to dispose of it profitably?
11556	Does it really possess the destructive power that the inventor attributes to it?
11556	Frenchman, would you be so criminal as to strike it?"
11556	Gaydon, it is you, is it?"
11556	Gaydon?"
11556	Had he abandoned the Pacific for other seas?
11556	Had it been voluntarily caused by the pirates when they realized that escape was impossible?
11556	Had this enigmatical personage then come solely for the purpose of visiting Healthful House?
11556	Hart?"
11556	Has anybody been in here?
11556	Has he already forgotten about Healthful House, the pavilion in which he was a prisoner, and Gaydon, his keeper?
11556	Has he any idea of the value of money?
11556	Has he been banished, is he an outcast of society that he should have selected this place above all others?
11556	Has he been killed by one of the projectiles?
11556	Has he not obtained what he has so long sought for?
11556	Has it ever been tried?
11556	Has she been delayed by a buccaneering cruise in the neighborhood of Back Cup?
11556	Has she reached her destination?
11556	Has the door been opened?
11556	Have Americans, English, French, Germans, and Russians reason to fear that an attack in force against the island would be doomed to failure?"
11556	Have boats come alongside?
11556	Have the English, desirous of avenging the destruction of the_ Sword_, alone undertaken the expedition?
11556	Have they missed it?
11556	Have they set out on a piracy expedition?
11556	Have you given up all hope of recovering your liberty some day or other?"
11556	He raises his head, shakes it nervously, and with a disdainful gesture:"What do you mean by''your country?''
11556	He stops, with laughing eyes and mocking mouth, and accompanies a"Good day, how do you do?"
11556	How comes it that he knew that a French engineer was performing the duties of attendant to Thomas Roch?
11556	How could a frail craft like the_ Sword_ defend itself against the attacks of Ker Karraje''s powerful machine?
11556	How could he get all this money except from Ker Karraje, and as the price of his secret?
11556	How did this man manage to find out what I was able to keep from the staff of Healthful House?
11556	How do I know that I am afloat on the Neuse, though I was conveyed a short distance in a boat?
11556	How have I survived it?
11556	How is it that Pamlico Sound is so extraordinarily calm?
11556	How is it that my heart is not broken?
11556	How is this schooner moving?
11556	How long have I been asleep?
11556	How much longer will this incarceration last?
11556	How was it then that he manifested such extraordinary unconcern?
11556	How will this adventure end?
11556	I am anxious for the passage to be made, for who knows but what it may be the way to freedom for me?
11556	I continually revert to this question, hoping that some incident will occur to enlighten me: Where am I?
11556	I question whether there is any other issue than the tunnel, and how on earth could I get through that?
11556	I walk up to one of the sailors and inquire:"What is the name of this ship?"
11556	I, however, go on:"Thomas Roch, do you remember Healthful House?"
11556	If he has seized Thomas Roch, is it not because he is determined to secure the secret of the fulgurator at no matter what cost?
11556	If, as I suspect, this name of d''Artigas and this title of Count are assumed, what motive has he for hiding his identity?
11556	In the latter place the cisterns have to supply the needs of over ten thousand people, this one of a hundred-- what?
11556	In the present state of his mind may he not be induced to disclose the composition of his fulgurator?
11556	In this case is it not possible that I was carried into the cellar of a house?
11556	In this event, how would you be able to provision the island?"
11556	Instead of crossing Pamlico Sound, may we not be going in the opposite direction, up the River Neuse?
11556	Is he a personal friend of the Count d''Artigas?
11556	Is he going to tell him what is passing, that a squadron is in view of Back Cup, and that his fulgurator will be employed to defend the island?
11556	Is he not at last able to carry out the plans he formed years and years ago?
11556	Is he not on board?
11556	Is he not the owner of these riches accumulated by twenty years of murder and rapine?
11556	Is it a big whale rising for air, and is the_ Ebba_ in danger of being shattered by a blow from the monster''s tail?
11556	Is it day?
11556	Is it known that Thomas Roch and his keeper are confined in Back Cup?
11556	Is it known that the abduction was effected in the interest of Ker Karraje?
11556	Is it night?
11556	Is it not folly to think of such a thing?
11556	Is it so?
11556	Is it the state of the sea that delays another campaign against Back Cup?
11556	Is not he, Thomas Roch, master of Back Cup?
11556	Is she a steam- yacht?
11556	Is she propelled by electricity-- by a battery of accumulators, or by piles of great power that work her screw and send her along at this rate?
11556	Is the danger over?
11556	Is the island being bombarded with a view to its destruction?
11556	Is the_ Ebba_ now free to proceed?"
11556	Is there a manufactory installed somewhere or other in this vast crypt, with machinery, dynamos and accumulators?
11556	Is there then a creek in the middle of the rocks where the vessel is secure from the breakers?
11556	Is this the port to which she belongs?
11556	Just who was this Count d''Artigas?
11556	Looking him straight in the face, I reply:"You know who I am, Thomas Roch, but do you know in whose place you are?"
11556	Mansion?
11556	May not cruisers of other nations be with them?
11556	May they not be merely passing on their way to Bermuda?
11556	May you not have purchased a composition as inert as a pinch of snuff?"
11556	Might not the discovery of the new engine be lost to America forever?
11556	Might not the latter, instead of heading for a ship in waiting for it, opposite Healthful House, have been rowed to a point further down the river?
11556	Might not the most serious consequences follow?
11556	Months?
11556	Once we are out at sea, what will they have to fear from me?
11556	Or perhaps the Count had been inspired by curiosity to meet Thomas Roch?
11556	Otherwise why should he have come to such a place?
11556	Serko?"
11556	Shall I be left here in this way till morning?
11556	Shall I ever be able to escape from Back Cup, denounce the false Count d''Artigas and rid the seas of Ker Karraje''s pirates?
11556	Shall I ever be able to get even with him?
11556	Shall I ever be afforded another chance?
11556	Sheer folly, and yet what other way is there of getting out of Back Cup?
11556	Sleep, when I am near the end of a situation that threatened to be prolonged for years and years?
11556	Sleep, when my brain is in a whirl of excitement?
11556	Then, abruptly, I go on:"If I am not mistaken, you have succeeded in inducing Thomas Roch to disclose the secret of his fulgurator?"
11556	Then, what kind of a machine is it that imparts such a marvellous speed to the vessel?
11556	They passed lines around the hull of the_ Sword_----""The_ Sword_?"
11556	To what nation do they belong?
11556	Trophonius after Pluto and Neptune?
11556	Twenty minutes later the dinghy returns with the four men towards the tug which was evidently waiting for them before proceeding-- where?
11556	Very true, but what if, instead of a bottle a diminutive, tightly closed keg were used?
11556	Was I passed through a porthole?
11556	Was anybody coming to my cell?
11556	Was it Count d''Artigas''intention to wait there till daybreak brought a breeze with it?
11556	Was it not dangerous to stay where they were after their daring raid?
11556	Was it not the door by which I was going to escape from my prison?
11556	Was not liberty awaiting me on the other side?
11556	Was she, then, specially privileged, and to be spared the bother of being searched?
11556	Was the Count d''Artigas considered too high and mighty a personage to be thus molested, and delayed even for an hour?
11556	Was the air renewed while I slept?
11556	We shall end by getting Roch''s thunderbolts entirely in our own hand, and then----""Are you sure, Serko?"
11556	Were Thomas Roch and Gaydon so safely hidden that their hiding- place could not possibly be discovered?
11556	Were these moral means applicable to the case of Thomas Roch?
11556	What are the islands or groups of islands to be found in the direction we are going, ere the continent of the Old World is reached?
11556	What can I reply to such insensate assertions?
11556	What can this compensation be?
11556	What could have inspired that Count d''Artigas with the unfortunate curiosity to visit Healthful House?
11556	What could he have procured with his piastres and bank- notes in the small markets of New- Berne?
11556	What did it all mean?
11556	What has been his past?
11556	What has happened since the sudden aggression of which I was the victim near the pavilion?
11556	What if that bottle contained a letter?
11556	What if the madman cries out-- what if he should resist-- what if his keeper gives the alarm?"
11556	What is the use of waxing wroth with this jester?
11556	What is this?
11556	What is to prevent me from knocking his brains out?
11556	What was the cause of the explosion?
11556	What were they going to do with me?
11556	What will the end be as far as I am personally concerned?
11556	What would they go further inland for?
11556	When Ker Karraje orders the latter to launch his engines against the ships will he remember what I told him?
11556	Where am I?
11556	Where am I?
11556	Where does he hail from?
11556	Where does it come from?
11556	Where had the band hidden themselves since they had ceased their depredations?
11556	Where?
11556	Where?
11556	Where?
11556	Who are they?
11556	Who in America would have any idea that the rich yachtsman so well known in all the eastern ports abides in the solitude of Back Cup mountain?
11556	Who in Bermuda imagines that a vessel is accustomed to lay up in this secret creek?
11556	Who knows but what I may receive more consideration than if I remain Warder Gaydon?
11556	Who knows what the future has in store for me?
11556	Who were they?"
11556	Why am I not permitted to cast one glance over the ocean towards the distant horizon of the Bermudas?
11556	Why had they thus abandoned the islet with the intention, as it pretty soon appeared, of never returning to it?
11556	Why has he severed himself from the world?
11556	Why has she stopped?
11556	Why is she not provided with her own means of propulsion, like other pleasure- boats?
11556	Why should I not attempt it, since no hope of being restored to liberty is held out to me?
11556	Why should he not have recovered his reason?
11556	Why should this warship cause a pleasure- yacht to turn out of its way?
11556	Why was Thomas Roch abducted from Healthful House in the manner already fully described?
11556	Why, therefore, should they have desired to kidnap a mere hospital attendant?
11556	Will he be able to resist the temptation if they offer him the exorbitant price that he demands?
11556	Will he refuse to obey?
11556	Will he succeed better than I did?
11556	Will not his crime appear to him in all its horror?
11556	Would it not be better to end in this way than to spend years and years amid these infernal and infamous surroundings?
11556	Would this pirate break out in a fresh place?
11556	Yes, why not dignify it with the title since this habitation has been arranged with a certain art?
11556	You remember me, of course?"
11556	why can I not go and breathe, if only for a single instant, the vivifying air outside?
