| 36289 | Why was I not partaker of thy cares and labours? |

| 38076 | my child? |
| 39518 | ''Yes?'' 39518 Are there any more old places like this in New York?" |
| 39518 | Are they fighters? 39518 But what are we going to eat? |

| 39518 | Do any of you children know why Wall Street has its name? |
| 39518 | Do you mean us, too, when you say''any one''? |
| 39518 | How can we cross, when there is nothing to cross? |
| 39518 | How much can you pay for? |
| 39518 | I do n''t want it-- do you? |
| 39518 | I have it in the trunk.--Why? |
| 39518 | I suppose you will be glad to crack walnuts and shell them for cake, eh? |
| 39518 | I wish we had time to cross from here and visit Morristown-- it is not so far in distance, but have we time to- day? |
| 39518 | I''ll ask mother-- shall I? |
| 39518 | Is anything going on in New York to- day? |
| 39518 | Is it time for the luncheon? |
| 39518 | Is n''t it lovely? 39518 Is this one of your practical jokes again?" |
| 39518 | Is you''se all right in here? |
| 39518 | It''s kind of stuffy in the house, is n''t it? |
| 39518 | Jim, do you know what saved George from bumping his head on the ground of City Hall Park that day? |
| 39518 | Mother, did n''t you bring the copy of our Washington history with you? |
| 39518 | Mother, if you all are going to have a good time, why ca n''t we have ice cream and cake for a treat up in the parlor? |
| 39518 | Not unusual.--Why? |
| 39518 | Now that we have seen the sights on Wall Street, what else can we see downtown? |
| 39518 | Now what? 39518 Now, whad''s dat chile talkin''uv in his sleep? |
| 39518 | Now, what does that mean? |
| 39518 | Of course you two Southerners know who first settled our fine city? |
| 39518 | Oh, where''d you find them? |
| 39518 | Shall we jump down and let them laugh at us? |
| 39518 | Shall we warn them, or just fall in? |
| 39518 | Shall we whisper to father and ask him what he can afford to pay for? |
| 39518 | Surely you did n''t expect to come into this dining- room covered with mud and rags, did you? |
| 39518 | Train? 39518 Well, as you know it so well, why do n''t you tell it to us?" |
| 39518 | Well, did n''t you run back, too? |
| 39518 | What did you expect to do? |
| 39518 | What do you say if we wire the garage in New York that we will not return till to- morrow? 39518 What do you suppose we hurried and bathed and combed our hair and dressed up for, if not for the circus this afternoon?" |

| 39518 | Who can tell the story of Stony Point? |
| 39518 | Who knows what this is? |
| 39518 | Why, I do n''t think we''ll need any dinner, do you? 39518 Why, I think Benjamin Franklin did, did n''t he, Jack?" |
| 39518 | Why, this hallway is our river, ca n''t you see? 39518 Will you have enough to pay for a dish of ice cream and a sandwich?" |
| 39518 | ''Where is it?'' |
| 39518 | After greetings were all over, Jack began:"Daddy, are we going to do anything to- day? |
| 39518 | And what do you suppose Jim did? |
| 39518 | Are n''t you coming?" |
| 39518 | Are these our children?" |
| 39518 | But it took Washington''s army to lick them, did n''t it, father?" |
| 39518 | CHAPTER VIII A FIGHT WITH THE HESSIANS"Children, have you planned to do anything this morning?" |
| 39518 | Ca n''t we help?" |
| 39518 | Could five bellboys have played that joke? |
| 39518 | Could n''t we leave the children to go to bed alone for this time?" |
| 39518 | Do n''t you remember?" |
| 39518 | Do they play fair?" |
| 39518 | Do you know where you are going, uncle?" |
| 39518 | Do you remember how soft and squashy they were when they hit you in the head?" |
| 39518 | He diden bump, did he?" |
| 39518 | Hear them shouting and things bumping about up there?" |
| 39518 | Is dat all right foh de whole party?" |
| 39518 | Is some one killed?" |
| 39518 | Is this the way my historical readings are interpreted?" |
| 39518 | Nothing like a little fight to give one an appetite, eh?" |
| 39518 | The boys stood looking over the motley assortment of things, when suddenly Jack exclaimed:"What do you say to playing war? |
| 39518 | The waiter shouted and berated Maggie, and she pulled at her hair and rolled her eyes upward, crying:"What shall I do? |
| 39518 | We would n''t think of boarding anywhere else, would we, when we are related to Martha?''" |
| 39518 | What boy or girl does not worship his first watch, and find it necessary to consult the time every few minutes during the first days it is carried? |
| 39518 | What do you think he was reading?" |
| 39518 | What has happened to thim children? |
| 39518 | What shall I do? |
| 39518 | While waiting for dessert( the children had ice cream every time) Mr. Davis remarked:"Any one want to go to the theatre to- night? |
| 39518 | Who told you about it?" |
| 39518 | You out of bed?" |
| 36291 | But a woman-- how can the heart of woman be inured to the shedding of blood? |
| 36291 | But whither,said Constantia,"could you seek shelter at a time like that? |
| 36291 | Canst thou imagine that I aim at thy life? 36291 Danger, my girl? |
| 36291 | Do you believe, in consequence of my assertion, that I design to do this, and that, in my apprehension, it is easy to be done? |
| 36291 | Does not sleep seal up the senses? 36291 Had he no kindred, no friends, no companions?" |
| 36291 | Hast thou forgotten that there were at that time at least ten thousand French in this city, fugitives from Marat and from St. Domingo? 36291 Have I not already told thee that Ormond was his own avenger and thine? |
| 36291 | Have women, I beseech thee, no capacity to reason and infer? 36291 Have you forgotten,"said Ormond,"what passed at our last interview? |
| 36291 | He has gone, then? |
| 36291 | How so? |
| 36291 | I hope,said I,"that nothing has happened to load you with guilt or with shame?" |
| 36291 | I know him well: but how came this? 36291 Is there any room for wonder on that head?" |
| 36291 | Nay,interrupted Ormond, with augmented vehemence,"art thou equally devoid of curiosity and justice? |
| 36291 | Shall I warn thee of the danger that awaits thee? 36291 Then why should I assert my purposes? |
| 36291 | Then you think of returning to a scene of so much danger? |
| 36291 | What appeared to be his motives for purchasing this picture? |
| 36291 | What could lead to such an outrage? |
| 36291 | What is the insuperable one? |
| 36291 | What mean you? 36291 What voice is that? |
| 36291 | What was the external appearance of this person? |
| 36291 | What,said Constantia, with discomposure in her accent,"was your motive for seeking me?" |
| 36291 | Who was this gentleman? 36291 Ah, why comest thou so late? 36291 Am I not a lover of liberty? 36291 And have I not entreated for thy love and been rejected? 36291 And so you sagely think that my knowledge goes no further than that? 36291 And what recompense is due to him whose vigilance pursued him hither and made him pay for his offences with his blood? 36291 Are they less open than men to the influence of habit? 36291 Are you not weary of my tale? 36291 Art thou not a woman? 36291 Art thou not desirous of detecting the author of his fate? 36291 Art thou still dubious of my purpose? 36291 As soon as Constantia recovered from the confusion of these thoughts, she eagerly questioned him:--What do you know? |
| 36291 | As soon as he paused, she spoke:--"How am I to understand this prelude? |
| 36291 | At length, the latter exclaimed,--"Well, my girl, hast thou examined him? |
| 36291 | But if an interview with her were not the purpose of his coming, how should she interpret it? |
| 36291 | But of what value was a continuance of his life? |
| 36291 | But was not this to be desired? |
| 36291 | Can not adjoining houses communicate by doors? |
| 36291 | Can not closets be unlocked at midnight? |
| 36291 | Can not these doors be hidden from suspicion by a sheet of canvas?" |
| 36291 | Can you read my thoughts? |
| 36291 | Can your discernment reach the bounds of my knowledge and the bottom of my purposes? |
| 36291 | Catch you not a view of the monsters that are starting into birth_ here_?" |
| 36291 | Did crimes like these merit a less punishment? |
| 36291 | Do you believe that this can be done?" |
| 36291 | Does not your heart shrink from the view of a scene of massacre and tumult, such as Paris has lately exhibited and will probably continue to exhibit?" |
| 36291 | Dost thou recognise a friend or an enemy?" |
| 36291 | For Heaven''s sake, what has happened to you? |
| 36291 | For what end? |
| 36291 | Had Ormond and her friend met during the interval that had elapsed between her separation from the latter and her meeting with the former? |
| 36291 | Had there been any previous acquaintance between them? |
| 36291 | Have I not been three years in a camp? |
| 36291 | Have I not enough of sorrow? |
| 36291 | Her faltering voice scarcely allowed her to ask,"How know_ you_ that Craig was thus guilty?--that these were his incitements and means?" |
| 36291 | Her thoughts were discerned, and her speech anticipated, by her companion:--"Why droopest thou, and why thus silent, Constantia? |
| 36291 | Here he was for a moment buried in thought; then, breaking from his reverie, he said,"So your father is dead?" |
| 36291 | His motives? |
| 36291 | How do you know what has happened, or what is intended?" |
| 36291 | How shall I describe it? |
| 36291 | In the wreck of her property were these irretrievably engulfed? |
| 36291 | In what had he offended you? |
| 36291 | Is it loss of fame? |
| 36291 | Know you not that Ormond was fool enough to set value on the affections of a woman? |
| 36291 | Must a time and place so suitable for what remains to be said and done be neglected or misused? |
| 36291 | Must this meeting, which fate ordains to be the last, be so short? |
| 36291 | Nay, had he not once affirmed, in my hearing, that, if he ever were reduced to poverty, this was the method he would pursue? |
| 36291 | No motives or means--""Why so?" |
| 36291 | Presently I heard a voice within exclaim, in accents of mingled terror and grief,"Oh, what-- what will become of me? |
| 36291 | Shall I never be released from this detested prison?" |
| 36291 | She involuntarily shrunk from the act of killing: but would her efforts to destroy her adversary be effectual? |
| 36291 | She withdrew her hand from the door, and fixed eyes of the deepest anxiety on Ormond:--"What mean you? |
| 36291 | Supposest thou that there were none among these who would receive a countrywoman, even if her name had not been Martinette de Beauvais? |
| 36291 | Thinkest thou I would refrain from knowing what so nearly concerns us both? |
| 36291 | Thinkest thou that the enmity which bereft thy father of life will not seek thy own? |
| 36291 | Thinkest thou that thy stay, undictated by love, the mere fruit of compassion, would afford me pleasure or crown my wishes? |
| 36291 | Was he not brought hither in the arms of his assassin? |
| 36291 | Was he not the author of this new evil? |
| 36291 | Was this the person whose entrance had been overheard, and who had dragged himself hither to die at her door? |
| 36291 | What are bleeding wounds and mangled corpses, when accustomed to the daily sight of them for years? |
| 36291 | What benefit have I received at thy hand to authorize me, for thy sake, to take away his life?" |
| 36291 | What cause had he given for resentment?" |
| 36291 | What do I know? |
| 36291 | What precautions should she take against a danger thus inscrutable and imminent? |
| 36291 | What purpose brought him hither? |
| 36291 | What reliance should she place upon prophetic incoherences thus wild? |
| 36291 | What sayest thou? |
| 36291 | What scruples can be expected from a man inured from infancy to cunning and pillage? |
| 36291 | What was his name, his profession, and where was he to be found?" |
| 36291 | What, I asked, had become of these precious memorials? |
| 36291 | Who was the author of his fate?" |
| 36291 | Who would imagine that features like those belonged to an assassin and impostor?" |
| 36291 | Why should ye perish by a like stroke?" |
| 36291 | Why speak, when the hearer will infer nothing from my speech but that I am either lunatic or liar?" |
| 36291 | Will he abstain from murder when urged by excruciating poverty, by menaces of persecution, by terror of expiring on the gallows?" |
| 36291 | Will it afford thee no consolation to know that the deed is punished? |
| 36291 | Wilt thou suffer me to drag the murderer to thy feet? |
| 36291 | Would he not revert to this profession when other means of subsistence were gone? |
| 36291 | Would not his strength and dexterity easily repel or elude them? |
| 36291 | Yet, in that case, would not groans and expiring efforts have testified his condition and invoked her succour? |
| 36291 | and must I not exult in the fall of tyrants, and regret only that my hand had no share in their destruction?" |
| 36291 | said he, as he cast it at her feet;"whose countenance is that? |
| 36291 | said the startled Constantia;"have you fought in the ranks?" |
| 36291 | what pleasure of reason or of sense can stand in competition with those attendant upon thee? |
| 36290 | And may I venture to ask if this be your history? |
| 36290 | Are they ill search of one or the other? |
| 36290 | Are you the daughter of my friend Dudley, by whom I have so often been hospitably entertained? 36290 But what is here? |
| 36290 | Can you not? 36290 Could Ormond be so stern and so terrible? |
| 36290 | For what end should I tell you? 36290 Hast thou decided erroneously? |
| 36290 | He has a family and children, I suppose? |
| 36290 | How is this? |
| 36290 | How singular? 36290 How?" |
| 36290 | Is it possible? |
| 36290 | Is it too much,said Constantia, with some hesitation,"to request a detail of your youthful adventures?" |
| 36290 | Nay,said he,"what is it that scares you away? |
| 36290 | Then the gentleman had been a long time in the city? |
| 36290 | To make her sleep? |
| 36290 | Was it usual,he asked,"for her to lie so late?" |
| 36290 | What did you buy? |
| 36290 | What does all this mean, Mr. M''Crea? 36290 What is it you mean?" |
| 36290 | What,said the lady,"will Helena think of this sudden and dreadful change? |
| 36290 | Why did you not tell me this before? |
| 36290 | Why,said Ormond,"do you suppose that she is sick?" |
| 36290 | Will you be good enough,said Constantia,"to explain yourself?" |
| 36290 | A letter for me? |
| 36290 | Am I deceived, or is it an incontrollable destiny that unites us?" |
| 36290 | Am I to stay below on that account? |
| 36290 | And if you knew that I meant not offence, why did you take offence? |
| 36290 | And now, say truly, are you willing to accept Ormond with all his faults? |
| 36290 | And what power on earth is able to sway his determinations? |
| 36290 | And who was Ormond, that his eye should inspire terror? |
| 36290 | And who was it that reduced her to this deplorable condition? |
| 36290 | And why should he be thus self- degraded? |
| 36290 | And yet, if you thought so, why did you thus unceremoniously intrude upon my retirements? |
| 36290 | Answer me, Constantia, shall I marry?" |
| 36290 | Are they suitable to our respective characters? |
| 36290 | Are you terrified at the mention of victuals? |
| 36290 | As to me, do you think my happiness rests upon so slight a foundation? |
| 36290 | At least, what influence was it possible for her to obtain over them? |
| 36290 | At what hour will she be least incommoded by a visitant?" |
| 36290 | Besides, is it absolutely certain that either her peace of mind or her reputation will be restored by this means? |
| 36290 | But was this alternative quite sure? |
| 36290 | But were not these scruples effeminate and puerile? |
| 36290 | But what else, on an ampler scale, is the universe? |
| 36290 | But what was the choice that remained? |
| 36290 | But what were these claims? |
| 36290 | By being familiar with contempt, it will lose its sting; but is that to be wished? |
| 36290 | Can it be helped? |
| 36290 | Can not you foresee the effects of this madness? |
| 36290 | Can you for a moment contemplate yourself and me, and not perceive an insuperable bar to this union?" |
| 36290 | Could not she, by time or by judicious treatment, be reconciled to her lot? |
| 36290 | Could not you regard with some little compassion that love that sacrificed, for your unworthy sake, honest fame and the peace of virtue? |
| 36290 | Could the truth be told too soon?" |
| 36290 | Could you suppose that I intended it? |
| 36290 | Did this argue no greatness of mind? |
| 36290 | Did you ever hear me murmur? |
| 36290 | For whose sake did she willingly consent to brave evils, by which the stoutest heart is appalled? |
| 36290 | Had he ever met with the same person before? |
| 36290 | Had he formed his resolution? |
| 36290 | Had she studied so long in the school of adversity, without conviction of the duty of a virtuous independence? |
| 36290 | He pondered on it for some time in silence; he then looked up, and with his usual abruptness said,"I suppose you gave her something?" |
| 36290 | Her attainments, indeed, were suitable to the imbecility of her sex; but did she not surpass in those attainments, the ordinary rate of women? |
| 36290 | How far would time alleviate its evils? |
| 36290 | If she was not to be so, why did you favour me with this visit? |
| 36290 | In what manner should it be performed? |
| 36290 | In whom were blended so many pleasurable attributes? |
| 36290 | Is it in your power, Sir, to inform us whither he has gone?" |
| 36290 | Is it not in every bosom a perishable sentiment? |
| 36290 | Is it wonderful then that I should be skilful in Slavonic, Greek, and the jargon of Aleppo? |
| 36290 | Is she not a poor outcast, goaded by compunction, and hooted at by a malignant and misjudging world? |
| 36290 | Is there in man the power of recalling her? |
| 36290 | Is there no part of me in which you discover your own likeness? |
| 36290 | Is this a basis en which marriage may properly be built? |
| 36290 | It is true that Helena was unable to participate in his graver occupations: what then? |
| 36290 | It was true that Helena loved; but what quarter was due to this passion when divorced from integrity? |
| 36290 | Meanwhile what was to be done by Helena? |
| 36290 | Might not this girl mix a little imposture with her truth? |
| 36290 | Must not the character be thoroughly depraved before the scorn of our neighbours shall become indifferent? |
| 36290 | On seeing this she rose, in some hurry, to depart:--"I thought, sir, you were disengaged? |
| 36290 | On well- constructed keys and strings, was it possible to carry diversities of movement and pressure too far? |
| 36290 | Pr''ythee, Constantia was this the only purpose that brought you hither? |
| 36290 | Say now, since such is my condition, ought Helena to be my wife?" |
| 36290 | See you not that I am fettered? |
| 36290 | See you not that I am powerless? |
| 36290 | Shall I abjure the woman I love, and marry her whom I hate?" |
| 36290 | Shall I defraud myself of all the happiness which would accrue from a match of inclination? |
| 36290 | Shall I have the honour"( bowing with a courtly air of supplication)"of occasionally paying my respects to you at your own dwelling? |
| 36290 | Shall I marry her whom I hate, when there exists one whom I love with unconquerable ardour?" |
| 36290 | Shall I marry this girl or not? |
| 36290 | Shall I preclude all the good to others that would flow from a suitable alliance? |
| 36290 | Shall I put fetters on my usefulness? |
| 36290 | Shall I then disable myself, by an irrevocable obligation, from profiting by so auspicious an occurrence?" |
| 36290 | Shall I we d this girl, or shall things remain as they are? |
| 36290 | Shall it be? |
| 36290 | Shall thy blood be upon thy own head? |
| 36290 | Should they separate, whither should she retire? |
| 36290 | Suppose you give yourself to Helena: will more than yourself be injured by it? |
| 36290 | That she sacrificed her honour to a wretch like that? |
| 36290 | The question now occurred, and brought with it sensations that left her no power to move:--was this the guest? |
| 36290 | The reasonings that are so powerful in my eyes, would they he trivial and futile in those of Ormond? |
| 36290 | Was Ormond capable of such behaviour? |
| 36290 | Was a change to be desired? |
| 36290 | Was it impossible that, in time, he should reason himself into a spontaneous adoption of this scheme? |
| 36290 | Was it not ignoble to refuse the province of a vindicator of the injured, before any tribunal, however tremendous or unjust? |
| 36290 | Was it possible that such a one descended to the level of her father''s apprentice? |
| 36290 | Was not equality implied in this compact? |
| 36290 | Was not the disparity between them incurable? |
| 36290 | Was she not a rational being, fully imbued with the justice of her cause? |
| 36290 | Was this the Helena that, a few hours before, was blithesome with health and radiant with beauty? |
| 36290 | Were they indeed valid? |
| 36290 | Were they worse in this lady''s apprehension than an eternal and hopeless separation? |
| 36290 | What but crude and hasty views was it reasonable to expect at so early a period? |
| 36290 | What corner is unvisited by calamity and pain? |
| 36290 | What could prompt him to conceal himself?" |
| 36290 | What mode of subsistence should she adopt? |
| 36290 | What then was the conduct incumbent on him? |
| 36290 | What then was the obstacle? |
| 36290 | What then? |
| 36290 | What was the amount of her unhappiness? |
| 36290 | What was the amount of the misery that would in this case ensue? |
| 36290 | What was to be done with Helena? |
| 36290 | What was wanting but the ornaments of mind to render this being all that poets have feigned of angelic nature? |
| 36290 | When the novelty of her condition should disappear, would she not regard it with other eyes? |
| 36290 | When will you permit me to visit you?" |
| 36290 | Where is the weapon? |
| 36290 | While indulging in fruitless melancholy, the thought one day occurred to her, why may not Constantia be prevailed upon to plead my cause? |
| 36290 | Who but yourself could be mistress of all the springs of my soul? |
| 36290 | Who ever surpassed her in fidelity and tenderness? |
| 36290 | Who is this lady? |
| 36290 | Who knows her temptations to hypocrisy? |
| 36290 | Why have you delayed so long the justice that is due to this helpless and lovely girl? |
| 36290 | Why not? |
| 36290 | Why should I pretend ignorance, and put you to the trouble of explanation? |
| 36290 | Why should not we come at once to the point? |
| 36290 | Why, do n''t you know Miss Hetty and Miss Betsy? |
| 36290 | Will a mountain move at your bidding? |
| 36290 | Will she be rendered unhappy by a determination in favour of another? |
| 36290 | Will these content thee? |
| 36290 | Will you give me leave?" |
| 36290 | Will you not assist her in recovering the path from which she has deviated? |
| 36290 | With her versatile curiosity and flexible organs would it be possible For her to remain ignorant of each of these languages? |
| 36290 | Would the lady more consult her happiness by adopting than by rejecting it? |
| 36290 | Would you bereave her of the gratifications of opulence? |
| 36290 | Would you have me deceive her? |
| 36290 | Yet how can you be ignorant? |
| 36290 | Yet why should you not shun either extreme? |
| 36290 | You are merely prompting me to suicide: but how shall I inflict the wound? |
| 36290 | but this last meeting,--how different from that which went before? |
| 36290 | what power on earth can prevail on her to renounce Ormond? |
| 8223 | And by thee, Clithero? 8223 And come you hither,"he muttered,"for this end?--to recount my offences and drive me again to despair?" |
| 8223 | Ay,said he;"ye will, will ye? |
| 8223 | But has any thing since happened to confirm you in this opinion? |
| 8223 | But how shall I describe the lady''s condition? 8223 But what remained? |
| 8223 | But whence arose this scene? 8223 But why did you go up- stairs? |
| 8223 | But why,said I,"should it be impossible to arm myself with firmness? |
| 8223 | Can you need any proof,I answered,"that it is Edgar Huntly, your pupil, your child, that speaks to you?" |
| 8223 | Dead? 8223 Did he leave any will by which he directed the disposition of his property?" |
| 8223 | Did you not inform my lady of this? |
| 8223 | Famine? 8223 How came you here?" |
| 8223 | How came you hither? 8223 How? |
| 8223 | Huntly,said he,"are you mad? |
| 8223 | Is there any thing particular? |
| 8223 | Of whom do you speak? 8223 On whom has this property devolved?" |
| 8223 | Perhaps,said he,"thou canst point out the place of her abode?--canst guide me to the city, the street, the very door of her habitation?" |
| 8223 | So, you will go, will you, whether I will or no? 8223 To me?" |
| 8223 | Up- stairs? 8223 What could I think? |
| 8223 | What is the matter? |
| 8223 | What kind of property, and to what amount, was your friend possessed of at his death? |
| 8223 | What mean you? 8223 What was his pursuit?" |
| 8223 | What,I asked,"did they state the rank or condition of the person to be?" |
| 8223 | What? 8223 Where,"said I,"is this singular career to terminate?" |
| 8223 | Who is there? 8223 Whom do you mean?" |
| 8223 | You do not then suspect who this person is? |
| 8223 | --"Where did the Indians carry you?" |
| 8223 | --"Who hurt you?" |
| 8223 | Above the ford or below it? |
| 8223 | Am I not justified in drawing certain inferences from your behaviour? |
| 8223 | And what would be requisite, for that end, but to inform him of the truth? |
| 8223 | And why should I expatiate on so hateful a scheme? |
| 8223 | Are you qualified, by your knowledge of his papers, to answer me explicitly? |
| 8223 | As soon as I perceived who it was, I started, exclaiming,"What is the matter?" |
| 8223 | At what distance from the river? |
| 8223 | Because nothing less than indubitable evidence would suffice to convince her? |
| 8223 | Because our power and our knowledge are confined by impassable boundaries? |
| 8223 | Because the counter- intimation flowed from an infallible source? |
| 8223 | Both?" |
| 8223 | But could not my end be gained without violence? |
| 8223 | But did not he say that one had escaped? |
| 8223 | But how should his haunts be discovered? |
| 8223 | But how was I deceived? |
| 8223 | But how was Sarsefield apprized that it was I who plunged into the river? |
| 8223 | But how were these doubts to be changed into absolute certainty? |
| 8223 | But if this were true, what was the abhorred catastrophe to which I was now reserved? |
| 8223 | But it suddenly occurred to me, For what purpose shall I prosecute this search? |
| 8223 | But might he not still live? |
| 8223 | But suppose we should appeal to law: could this be done without the knowledge and concurrence of the lady? |
| 8223 | But were they not deceived? |
| 8223 | But what are the conclusions to be drawn by dispassionate observers? |
| 8223 | But what had I to fear? |
| 8223 | But what if the truth of these pretensions be admitted? |
| 8223 | But what power was it that called me from the sleep of death just in time to escape the merciless knife of this enemy? |
| 8223 | But what proof had I that the same route would be taken, and that he would again inter himself alive in the same spot? |
| 8223 | But what tidings were these? |
| 8223 | But what was he that committed the theft? |
| 8223 | But what wilt thou think of this new- born claim? |
| 8223 | But whence arose the subsequent intention? |
| 8223 | But whence comes he? |
| 8223 | But who were they by whom my footsteps were so industriously traced? |
| 8223 | But wrhat is that guilt which no penitence can expiate? |
| 8223 | But, meanwhile, how am I to account for your appearance on this spot? |
| 8223 | But, should I ultimately resolve to separate, how should I communicate my purpose? |
| 8223 | By what means should I introduce a topic so momentous and singular? |
| 8223 | By what motives could he be impelled to a deed like this? |
| 8223 | Can I not set bounds to the stream? |
| 8223 | Can any thing be done for you?" |
| 8223 | Can it be you? |
| 8223 | Can not I prevent thee from returning to a consciousness which, till it ceases to exist, will not cease to be rent and mangled? |
| 8223 | Can you not confide in me? |
| 8223 | Canst thou not sleep and afford thy unhappy mother some peace? |
| 8223 | Clithero? |
| 8223 | Could I consent to be the author of disquietude to her? |
| 8223 | Could I not anticipate their assault by casting myself without delay into the stream? |
| 8223 | Could I not elude the necessity of shedding more blood? |
| 8223 | Could I not escape, unperceived, and without alarming the sleepers, from this cavern? |
| 8223 | Could I not restore a mind thus vigorous, to tranquil and wholesome existence? |
| 8223 | Could I not subdue his perverse disdain and immeasurable abhorrence of himself? |
| 8223 | Could he blend any more lucrative pursuit with his duty as a schoolmaster?" |
| 8223 | Could he have executed his design in the deepest of its recesses? |
| 8223 | Could it be? |
| 8223 | Could law be resorted to? |
| 8223 | Could not I at least bring his pangs to a speedy close? |
| 8223 | Could not some advantage be taken of his absence? |
| 8223 | Could not this opportunity be seized for making my escape? |
| 8223 | Could she arrive at a knowledge of his miserable and by other than verbal means? |
| 8223 | Could some witness of his death have brought her tidings of it? |
| 8223 | Could the savages have been interrupted in their work, and obliged to leave their vengeance unfinished? |
| 8223 | Did you entertain any imagination of so frightful a catastrophe? |
| 8223 | Did you not say Clithero was dead?" |
| 8223 | Did you penetrate the wall? |
| 8223 | Did you rise through the floor? |
| 8223 | Do I intend the injury of this person? |
| 8223 | Does he yet crawl upon the face of the earth? |
| 8223 | For what purpose have I come hither? |
| 8223 | Had I not been dragged hither by these savages and reduced, by their malice, to that breathless and insensible condition? |
| 8223 | Had I not extended my search to the neighbouring groves and precipices? |
| 8223 | Had I not pored upon the brooks, and pried into the pits and hollows, that were adjacent to the scene of blood? |
| 8223 | Had I reached the brink of the same precipice and been thrown headlong into that vacuity? |
| 8223 | Had he penetrated, unexpected and unlicensed, to her chamber? |
| 8223 | Had it not been a hundred times examined? |
| 8223 | Had not Clithero''s remorse been more than adequate to crimes far more deadly and enormous than this? |
| 8223 | Had not Indians, I asked, been lately seen in this neighbourhood? |
| 8223 | Had not Sarsefield said that he was married? |
| 8223 | Had not my fusil been found in the hands of an enemy? |
| 8223 | Had not rumour whispered that the captive was retaken? |
| 8223 | Had not the cause of my being cast into this abyss some connection with the ruin of my family? |
| 8223 | Had she already endured his agonies, and like him already ceased to breathe? |
| 8223 | Had some mysterious power snatched me from the earth, and cast me, in a moment, into the heart of the wilderness? |
| 8223 | Had they not already committed some mischief? |
| 8223 | Had they wholly disappeared, and meant they not to return? |
| 8223 | Had two days and a half been consumed in my subterranean prison? |
| 8223 | Has he dared to utter names so sacred as those of Euphemia Lorimer and Clarice?" |
| 8223 | Has he fooled thee with such tales?" |
| 8223 | Has he told his execrable falsehoods here? |
| 8223 | Has he told you this?" |
| 8223 | Has she not predicted the event? |
| 8223 | Have no letters, with my signature, been found? |
| 8223 | Have this woman and her daughter lighted on the shore haunted by this infernal and implacable enemy?" |
| 8223 | Have you forgotten, have you ceased to love me?" |
| 8223 | Have you set eyes upon him? |
| 8223 | Have you so soon forgotten me, who is truly your friend?" |
| 8223 | Having perceived these tokens of a state less hopeless than I at first imagined, I spoke to him:--"My friend, how do you feel? |
| 8223 | He has called himself unhappy? |
| 8223 | He noticed my movement, and, turning towards me, spoke in a tone of some resentment:--"Why did you deceive me? |
| 8223 | How came you hither, and why?" |
| 8223 | How can the latter supposition be confuted? |
| 8223 | How can they be otherwise? |
| 8223 | How could I hesitate? |
| 8223 | How did they evade the destroying hatchet and the midnight conflagration? |
| 8223 | How have I discharged the measureless debt of gratitude to which she is entitled? |
| 8223 | How may he exert the parental prerogatives? |
| 8223 | How otherwise could I act? |
| 8223 | How shall I communicate the tidings? |
| 8223 | How shall I demean myself when the criminal is detected? |
| 8223 | How shall I enter upon this theme? |
| 8223 | How should Clithero be unacquainted with its situation, since none but Clithero could have dug for it this grave? |
| 8223 | How should I account for an intrusion so unexampled and audacious? |
| 8223 | How should I attempt to reason with him? |
| 8223 | How should I convince him that, since the death of Wiatte was not intended, the deed was without crime? |
| 8223 | How should I explain my coming hither in this murderous guise, my arm lifted to destroy the idol of my soul and the darling child of my patroness? |
| 8223 | How was I to consider this act of Clithero? |
| 8223 | How, then, came he to amass so much money? |
| 8223 | How, then, should I account for them? |
| 8223 | Huntly? |
| 8223 | I am as well acquainted with what is passing in your heart as you yourself are: but why are you so anxious to conceal it? |
| 8223 | I could not but assent to this mournful conclusion: yet, though death was better to Clithero than life, could not some of his mistakes be rectified? |
| 8223 | I had fallen from a height; but if that height had been considerable, instead of being merely bruised, should I not have been dashed into pieces? |
| 8223 | I have no power to detain you? |
| 8223 | I have no solicitude about concealment; but who is there who will derive pleasure or benefit from my rehearsal? |
| 8223 | I hesitated for an answer; but the voice instantly continued, in the manner of one half asleep and enraged at being disturbed,"Is''t you, Peg? |
| 8223 | I looked eagerly into the face of my friend, and exclaimed, in a dubious accent,"How say you? |
| 8223 | I should, no doubt, be safe by remaining in this nook; but might not some means be pursued to warn others of their danger? |
| 8223 | I took his hand, and, affectionately pressing it, said,"Do you not know me? |
| 8223 | I was feeble, indeed; but, by remaining here, should I not increase my feebleness? |
| 8223 | If consequences arise that can not be foreseen, shall we find no refuge in the persuasion of our rectitude and of human frailty? |
| 8223 | If he did, and could again be discovered, should I resolve to undertake a new pursuit, which might terminate abortively, or in some signal disaster? |
| 8223 | If my destruction had not been decreed, why was the image of Clarice so long excluded? |
| 8223 | If she, indeed, were there, would not my intrusion awaken her? |
| 8223 | If the imagination of her death was not to be supported, how should I bear the spectacle of wounds and blood? |
| 8223 | In a space so short, was it possible that so tremendous a deed had been executed? |
| 8223 | In that case, how should I conduct myself? |
| 8223 | In what circumstances could I possibly be placed, from which every particle of light should, by other means, be excluded? |
| 8223 | In what manner should they be received? |
| 8223 | In what way could I tell it to her? |
| 8223 | In what way would this effect be produced? |
| 8223 | In what words should I unfold the tale of Wiatte, and enumerate the motives that terminated in the present scene? |
| 8223 | In your passage to the river, had it once more fallen into hostile hands? |
| 8223 | Is it not possible for some letters to have been mislaid?" |
| 8223 | Is it possible to regard this person with disdain or with enmity? |
| 8223 | Is it to relate my story? |
| 8223 | Is it wise to undertake experiments by which nothing can be gained, and much may be lost? |
| 8223 | Is such the lot of those who wander from their rustic homes in search of fortune? |
| 8223 | Is the madman here? |
| 8223 | Is the province assigned me that of an infernal emissary, whose efforts are concentred in a single purpose, and that purpose a malignant one? |
| 8223 | Is there not a good that I can do thee? |
| 8223 | Kill the brother whose existence was interwoven with that of his benefactress and his friend? |
| 8223 | Know you any thing to the contrary? |
| 8223 | Lamenting and upbraiding the absence of her brother? |
| 8223 | Lift a dagger to destroy her who had been the author of his being and his happiness? |
| 8223 | Married? |
| 8223 | Might I not relieve her from her bonds, and make her the companion of my flight? |
| 8223 | Might he not vanish, as he had done on the former day, and afford me no time to assail his constancy and tempt his hunger? |
| 8223 | Might not these weapons be seized, and some provision be thus made against the danger of meeting him without, or of being pursued? |
| 8223 | Must I perpetrate unmingled evil? |
| 8223 | My doom was ratified by powers which no human energies can counterwork.--Need I go further? |
| 8223 | My task is almost executed; but whence shall I obtain strength enough to finish it? |
| 8223 | Nay, has he not borne his part in the destruction of my uncle and my sisters? |
| 8223 | Nay, might not the discoveries I should make throw light upon the conduct of this extraordinary man which his own narrative had withheld? |
| 8223 | Need I remind you of a late disaster? |
| 8223 | Of the mother of Clarice? |
| 8223 | On which side of the river had their steps been observed or any devastation been committed? |
| 8223 | Once more I asked, Who was his assassin? |
| 8223 | Or is there a criterion by which truth can always be distinguished? |
| 8223 | Pray, what was his new way of business?" |
| 8223 | Remorse? |
| 8223 | Shall I calmly sit here, and rehearse the incidents of my life? |
| 8223 | Shall we deem ourselves criminal because we do not enjoy the attributes of Deity? |
| 8223 | Shall we impute guilt where there is no design? |
| 8223 | Should I fire, or suffer him to pass in safety? |
| 8223 | Should I not discharge it, and, at the same moment, rush forward to secure the road which my adversary''s death would open to me? |
| 8223 | Should I not rush into the stream, and still aim at reaching my uncle''s house before morning? |
| 8223 | Should I remain in this hovel till the morning, or immediately resume my journey? |
| 8223 | Some passenger, perhaps, had been attacked, or fire had been set to some house? |
| 8223 | Still, however, some remnant was left; would it not enable me to reach my home by nightfall? |
| 8223 | That brother whose latter days were so ardently devoted to cherishing the spirit of devotion in thy heart? |
| 8223 | That emotions will not be reawakened by my narrative, incompatible with order and coherence? |
| 8223 | That he perished in a mutiny on board the vessel in which he was embarked for transportation?" |
| 8223 | That it happened beneath the shade of this tree? |
| 8223 | That the incidents I am going to relate can be recalled and arranged without indistinctness and confusion? |
| 8223 | That the pulses of life are at the command of the will? |
| 8223 | The better part of me was, then, safe: but how did they escape the fate that overtook my uncle? |
| 8223 | The inference was just, that the man, half clothed and digging, was a sleeper; but what was the cause of this morbid activity? |
| 8223 | The past, however deplorable, could not be recalled; but could not I afford some relief to this wretch? |
| 8223 | The sister of Wiatte? |
| 8223 | The sister of the ruffian who laid snares for her life? |
| 8223 | The sound of my voice made him start and exclaim,"Am I alive? |
| 8223 | Then hasten to her chamber, and attempt her life? |
| 8223 | There scarcely remained a doubt; but still my expiring hope prompted me to inquire,"To whom did the house belong?" |
| 8223 | This in some degree accounted for appearances: but where were your arms? |
| 8223 | This, neither duty nor curiosity would permit to be overlooked or delayed; but why should my whole attention and activity be devoted to this man? |
| 8223 | Thus!--"Can not my guilt be extenuated? |
| 8223 | To dissipate the doubts which obstinately clung to my imagination respecting it? |
| 8223 | To make thy brother the instrument of thy apostasy, the author of thy fall? |
| 8223 | To what new danger might I be exposed in remaining thus guideless and destitute of all defence? |
| 8223 | To whom?" |
| 8223 | Unhappy? |
| 8223 | Was I born to a malignant destiny never tired of persecuting? |
| 8223 | Was I not deceived by some portentous vision? |
| 8223 | Was I still in the vicinity of my parental habitation, or was I thousands of miles distant? |
| 8223 | Was I, then, shut up in the same cavern? |
| 8223 | Was Mrs. Lorimer so speedily forgotten by him, or was the narrative of Clithero the web of imposture or the raving of insanity? |
| 8223 | Was his purpose to explore or to hide? |
| 8223 | Was it Huntly? |
| 8223 | Was it I that hurried to the deed? |
| 8223 | Was it a grave that he was digging? |
| 8223 | Was it impossible to rescue her? |
| 8223 | Was it likely that this unknown person would repeat his midnight visits to the elm? |
| 8223 | Was it likely the enemy would coast along the edge of the steep? |
| 8223 | Was it not in my power to avert it? |
| 8223 | Was it not inhuman to desert him in this extremity? |
| 8223 | Was it not now given me to investigate the truth of that stupendous tale? |
| 8223 | Was it not our duty to rectify this error? |
| 8223 | Was it not possible to ascertain the truth in this respect? |
| 8223 | Was it not possible, I asked, to reach the top of this pit? |
| 8223 | Was it right to proceed? |
| 8223 | Was it to this extremity of horror that my evil genius was determined to urge me? |
| 8223 | Was it wise to defer the scrutiny till then? |
| 8223 | Was not any thing easy to endure in comparison with the agonies of suspense? |
| 8223 | Was not the purloiner of my treasure and the wanderer the same person? |
| 8223 | Was not this the lover of Mrs. Lorimer, the object of the persecutions of Wiatte? |
| 8223 | Was not this the man whom Clithero had robbed of his friend? |
| 8223 | Was she not a mangled corpse? |
| 8223 | Was the contingency to be lamented in consequence of which an interview had been avoided? |
| 8223 | Was the latter sent to enforce the interdictions which had been formerly imposed? |
| 8223 | Was there a league between her and the plunderers whom I had encountered? |
| 8223 | Was there no more connection between them than that which results from time? |
| 8223 | Was there reason to confide implicitly on the tale which I had heard? |
| 8223 | Was there some connection between this purpose and the incidents of my vision? |
| 8223 | Was this a new instance of the subtlety of mind? |
| 8223 | Weeping over the untimely fall of her protector and her friend? |
| 8223 | Were any of the inhabitants murdered? |
| 8223 | Were his designs frustrated? |
| 8223 | Were my hands imbrued in this precious blood? |
| 8223 | Were these the permanent inhabitants of this region, or were they wanderers and robbers? |
| 8223 | Were they linked together by a sympathy whose influence was independent of sensible communication? |
| 8223 | Were they not suspected of hostile designs? |
| 8223 | Were we not assured of his death? |
| 8223 | What am I to think? |
| 8223 | What and where was Deb''s hut? |
| 8223 | What are the effects of your misguided zeal and random efforts? |
| 8223 | What are you doing?" |
| 8223 | What benefit am I to reap from this discovery? |
| 8223 | What but the murder of Waldegrave could direct his steps hither? |
| 8223 | What but this solution ought to have been suggested by the conduct I had witnessed in Clithero? |
| 8223 | What could I do? |
| 8223 | What could I expect to find? |
| 8223 | What could I infer from this scanty garb, this chilling atmosphere, this stony bed? |
| 8223 | What could I less than turn the dagger''s point against my own bosom? |
| 8223 | What could be the grounds of this new scheme? |
| 8223 | What could be the inducements of this person to betake himself to subterranean retreats? |
| 8223 | What could be the necessity of hiding them from her? |
| 8223 | What could hence be predicted but that the band would start on their feet and level their unerring pieces at my head? |
| 8223 | What did he seek, or what endeavour to conceal, in this fatal spot? |
| 8223 | What does vengeance desire but to inflict misery? |
| 8223 | What dungeon or den had received me, and by whose command was I transported hither? |
| 8223 | What effect will they produce? |
| 8223 | What end could it answer? |
| 8223 | What explication was more obvious? |
| 8223 | What had I done? |
| 8223 | What had become of my boasted gratitude? |
| 8223 | What has filled you with these hideous prepossessions? |
| 8223 | What influence might these events have upon the gloomy meditations of Clithero? |
| 8223 | What is it that you have to propose?" |
| 8223 | What is the matter with you? |
| 8223 | What is the recompense that I have made? |
| 8223 | What is to be done?" |
| 8223 | What might not be dreaded from the interview? |
| 8223 | What might not be dreaded from the monstrous depravity of Wiatte? |
| 8223 | What motive could I assign for my conduct? |
| 8223 | What need is there of tedious preliminaries? |
| 8223 | What of consolation or of hope remained to me? |
| 8223 | What offence had he committed that deserved such implacable vengeance? |
| 8223 | What penalty had not my infatuation and cruelty deserved? |
| 8223 | What remained but to precipitate my flight? |
| 8223 | What remained to convert tormenting doubt into ravishing certainty? |
| 8223 | What remained? |
| 8223 | What should I think? |
| 8223 | What then remained? |
| 8223 | What then? |
| 8223 | What was I hence to infer respecting the person of the last possessor? |
| 8223 | What was I to do? |
| 8223 | What was my condition when I fell asleep? |
| 8223 | What was now to be done? |
| 8223 | What was the motive of your search in the desert, and how were you apprized of my condition? |
| 8223 | What was the mournful vision that dissolved him in tears, and extorted from him tokens of inconsolable distress? |
| 8223 | What was the name? |
| 8223 | What was the subject of discourse between them? |
| 8223 | What were the limits of his power? |
| 8223 | What will become of us? |
| 8223 | What would you have me to do? |
| 8223 | What, at that moment, was her condition? |
| 8223 | When? |
| 8223 | Whence and how came he hither? |
| 8223 | Whence could he have plundered it but from my own chamber? |
| 8223 | Whence else could arise the bruises which I had received, but from my fall? |
| 8223 | Where did she now abide? |
| 8223 | Where is he now? |
| 8223 | Where was this series of hardships and perils to end? |
| 8223 | Whither had it gone, and by whom was it purloined? |
| 8223 | Who knows not the cogency of faith? |
| 8223 | Who pursued you and the unhappy Clithero with the bitterest animosity?" |
| 8223 | Who shall affirm that the persuasion is a groundless one? |
| 8223 | Who was the merchant on whom your bill was drawn, what was the date of it, and when did the bill and its counterparts arrive?" |
| 8223 | Who would have predicted his future conduct? |
| 8223 | Who would have sought me in the bowels of this mountain? |
| 8223 | Who would not have affirmed the impossibility of an action like this? |
| 8223 | Whom he had seen perish in the current of the Delaware? |
| 8223 | Whom he had sought in every thicket and cave in the ample circuit of Norwalk and Chetasco? |
| 8223 | Whom shall I call in to aid me in this arduous task?" |
| 8223 | Why are you up so early?" |
| 8223 | Why did I linger on the verge? |
| 8223 | Why not demand a conference, and state my doubts, and demand a solution of them, in a manner worthy of a beneficent purpose? |
| 8223 | Why not hasten to the spot? |
| 8223 | Why not instantly investigate the truth? |
| 8223 | Why scruple to adopt the former mode? |
| 8223 | Why should I delay? |
| 8223 | Why should I make her miserable? |
| 8223 | Why should I proceed like a plotter? |
| 8223 | Why should I procrastinate my doom and strive to render my burden more light? |
| 8223 | Why should I survive this calamity? |
| 8223 | Why should I trust my story to mother? |
| 8223 | Why should he be suffered to live? |
| 8223 | Why should his miseries be uselessly prolonged? |
| 8223 | Why should the effects of our misdeeds be inexhaustible? |
| 8223 | Why should we be debarred from a comforter? |
| 8223 | Why was not some intimation afforded me of the snares that lay in my path? |
| 8223 | Why were you still invisible? |
| 8223 | Why, thus perilously situated, did I not throw myself headlong? |
| 8223 | Why? |
| 8223 | Will my strength be adequate to this rehearsal? |
| 8223 | Would it be just to expose thee to pollution and depravity from this source? |
| 8223 | Would it have compelled me to explain the broken condition of his trunk? |
| 8223 | Would not any one, from similar appearances, have drawn similar conclusions? |
| 8223 | Would not their projectures and abruptnesses serve me as steps by which I might ascend in safety? |
| 8223 | Would not this procedure bear the appearance of the basest ingratitude? |
| 8223 | Would they ramble hither to look upon the ample scene which spread on all sides around the base of this rocky pinnacle? |
| 8223 | Yet am I sure that even now my perturbations are sufficiently stilled for an employment like this? |
| 8223 | Yet who could foresee this consequence of my intelligence? |
| 8223 | Yet why do I say long? |
| 8223 | You will regard nothing that I can say?" |
| 8223 | am I awake? |
| 8223 | and to what dangers might you not be exposed before you could disinvolve yourself from the mazes of this wilderness? |
| 8223 | and were these the effects produced by the intelligence? |
| 8223 | he cried,"is this a dream? |
| 8223 | my lady''s brother?" |
| 8223 | or had you missed the way, wandered to this promontory, and mistaken a troop of friends for a band of Indian marauders? |
| 8223 | or was he maniac, or walker in his sleep? |
| 8223 | said I:"what is his mode of subsistence? |
| 8223 | said he, in a tone of anxiety:"are you not well?" |
| 8223 | that Euphemia Lorimer is now alive, is happy, is the wife of Sarsefield? |
| 8223 | that her brother is forgotten and his murderer regarded without enmity or vengeance?" |
| 8223 | that when he pointed a dagger at the bosom of his mistress he was actuated, not by avarice, or ambition, or revenge, or malice? |
| 8223 | that, if it had been deliberately concerted, it was still a virtue, since his own life could by no other means be preserved? |
| 8223 | what is this? |
| 8223 | what proofs am I to credit?" |
| 8223 | who was her angel of deliverance? |
| 15402 | ''Bijah? 15402 ''How dared you?'' |
| 15402 | ''The letter?'' 15402 ''This?'' |
| 15402 | ''Why,''said the Captain,--''why, any more from the North than from the South?'' |
| 15402 | ''Will you write the letter?'' 15402 Ah, Miss Sallie, is it you? |
| 15402 | Ah, you''ve come to yourself, have you? 15402 Ambitious?" |
| 15402 | And this black man,--what of him? 15402 And what may that be?" |
| 15402 | And where did you come from?--no, you need n''t look back there again,--I mean, where did you and the boat too come from? |
| 15402 | And why stay? 15402 And will heed?" |
| 15402 | Anything to get out of town? 15402 Are Mrs. Lancaster and Miss Ercildoune not in?" |
| 15402 | Are you aching for the martyr''s palm? |
| 15402 | Are you hungry? |
| 15402 | As clown or grindstone?--to make laugh, or sharpen your wits upon? |
| 15402 | As with what? |
| 15402 | Ask me no more: what answer should I give? 15402 At the same engines, and the like, do you mean?" |
| 15402 | Aunt Alice,said Francesca a few days after that,"can you go to New York this afternoon or to- morrow morning?" |
| 15402 | Because why? 15402 Better?" |
| 15402 | But they left a note, perhaps,--or some message? |
| 15402 | Can you sing it, and mean it with all your heart, for me? |
| 15402 | Come, now, are you hungry? |
| 15402 | Cynical? |
| 15402 | Did n''t you go in pursuit of a dead man? |
| 15402 | Did the dead man convert you? |
| 15402 | Did you ever read about the man who was told that the facts did not sustain his theory, and of his sublime answer? 15402 Did you suppose that he loved you sufficiently to destroy''an invincible barrier?''" |
| 15402 | Did you think fate would be more merciful to you than to others? |
| 15402 | Did_ he_ help you to behold it; to discover, or to remember it? 15402 Do n''t what?" |
| 15402 | Do you know when? |
| 15402 | Do you know you were reported mortally wounded? 15402 Do you mean it?" |
| 15402 | Do you see the barrier now? |
| 15402 | Does any one know aught of Miss Ercildoune''s family save that Mrs. Lancaster is her aunt? |
| 15402 | Does he love you? |
| 15402 | Done? 15402 Echo of nothingness?" |
| 15402 | Ercildoune? 15402 Far from here?" |
| 15402 | Feel? 15402 Forget? |
| 15402 | Franklin? |
| 15402 | Freedmen? |
| 15402 | From what depot did they leave? |
| 15402 | Get rid of it,mused Jim,"how in thunder''ll I get rid of it if I do n''t hear from Sallie? |
| 15402 | Given? |
| 15402 | Good morning, Miss Sallie,says he,"how are you? |
| 15402 | Got any objection to telling a lie? |
| 15402 | Had n''t you sense enough to see they could keep the whole of it, and nobody the wiser? 15402 Has Snipe been round?" |
| 15402 | Have any of you seen the Fifty- fourth? |
| 15402 | He is cleanly? |
| 15402 | Her right to remain? |
| 15402 | Hey? |
| 15402 | Homely? 15402 How am I to know what they thought? |
| 15402 | I guess thee is sorry now that thee did n''t keep out of it, is n''t thee? |
| 15402 | I may see you there? |
| 15402 | I say, Captain, I''ve heard that some of your ancestors were Indians: is that so? |
| 15402 | I say, ca n''t you? |
| 15402 | I say, how came you to be starved? 15402 I-- how should I know? |
| 15402 | Intelligent? |
| 15402 | Irritable? |
| 15402 | Is he there now? |
| 15402 | Is it allowable, then, to ask why he was discarded? |
| 15402 | Is it rude to ask if your father was the same? 15402 Is it so?" |
| 15402 | Is that efficacious? |
| 15402 | It was there you lost your arm? |
| 15402 | It was there you were last wounded? |
| 15402 | Met him anywhere? |
| 15402 | Miss Howard''s traps done? |
| 15402 | Miss-- Miss-- what''s her name? 15402 Mr. Ercildoune,"said he, aloud,"you know something of me? |
| 15402 | Mrs. Lancaster goes back to England soon? |
| 15402 | Name? |
| 15402 | No matter,he said to himself;"it''ll be all well, or forgotten, at least, when I see Sallie once more; and so, what odds?" |
| 15402 | No? 15402 No? |
| 15402 | No? |
| 15402 | Nor none of the foremen? |
| 15402 | Not about the eyes? |
| 15402 | Not exactly; Lieutenant Hunt was drowned somewhere, was n''t he? |
| 15402 | Now, sir, what do you want? |
| 15402 | O Frankie, do n''t I? |
| 15402 | O Miss Ercildoune, will you let me do your work at your own home? 15402 O sis,_ do n''t_ you wish Jim would come home?" |
| 15402 | O, he did n''t, hey? 15402 O, that''s it, is it? |
| 15402 | Of course: Aunt Mina''s son-- what''s his name?--is a sort of_ protà © gà ©_ of yours, I believe: what of him? |
| 15402 | Oh, why did you ask me? 15402 One? |
| 15402 | Papa,she said, without looking up,"you wanted me?" |
| 15402 | Respectable? |
| 15402 | Rich, is he? 15402 Right straight away? |
| 15402 | Rough? |
| 15402 | Say it all over again, sonny; what was it you told him? |
| 15402 | See anything peculiar about it? |
| 15402 | She is to sing, do you know? |
| 15402 | She? 15402 Should you think so to look at her now?" |
| 15402 | Sorry? 15402 Spoiled, am I? |
| 15402 | Stop that infernal noise, will you? |
| 15402 | Suppose I did,--what then? |
| 15402 | Suppose you are an atom against the universe? |
| 15402 | Thank you, Jim, for the compliment; but come, you are n''t going to say that nature has n''t placed a barrier between these people and us? 15402 The matther, is it? |
| 15402 | The reason? |
| 15402 | Thee has on the army blue; has thee been fighting any? |
| 15402 | There''s nigger for you,broke out Jim,"what''n thunder''d they mean by such gibberish as that?" |
| 15402 | This afternoon? |
| 15402 | This afternoon? |
| 15402 | This big fellow is abusing and devouring a poor little chap, eh? 15402 This captain,--what''s his name?" |
| 15402 | This? 15402 Undoubtedly true, Mr. Greenleaf,"answered the neighbor,"but what caused the remark?" |
| 15402 | Want? |
| 15402 | Was it now? 15402 Was that you howling a while ago,''Roll Jordan,''or something?" |
| 15402 | We are a handsome couple,laughed Jim, holding back her face between both hands,--"ain''t we, now?" |
| 15402 | Well, Given, do you like the darkies well enough to take off your cap to them? |
| 15402 | Well, massa, ye see I saw mighty quick I was in for a lie anyhow, so I said,''Is massa at home?'' 15402 Well, why by the devil have n''t you had something else then? |
| 15402 | Well? |
| 15402 | Well? |
| 15402 | What are you asking, Willie? |
| 15402 | What are you driving at now, hey? |
| 15402 | What are you driving at? |
| 15402 | What are you making such a devil of a row for, I''d like to know? 15402 What brought you here? |
| 15402 | What did he say to that? |
| 15402 | What do you call this fellow? |
| 15402 | What does she mean by getting off such rampant discourses? 15402 What is this you were joking about with him, a while ago?" |
| 15402 | What is wrong with you? 15402 What manner of fellow?" |
| 15402 | What next? |
| 15402 | What sort of a lie? |
| 15402 | What''s good? |
| 15402 | What''s his name? |
| 15402 | What''s the matter with him? 15402 What''s the matter with the berth?" |
| 15402 | What''s the matter? |
| 15402 | What''s this? |
| 15402 | What''s up? |
| 15402 | What''s what, mother? |
| 15402 | What''s wrong? |
| 15402 | What, not call yourself an Injun,--when your great- grandmother was one? 15402 What?" |
| 15402 | When? 15402 Where''d you come from?" |
| 15402 | Where''s your pass, sirrah? |
| 15402 | Whereabouts? |
| 15402 | Which I am to afford? |
| 15402 | Which has failed? |
| 15402 | Which?--the words or the acts of my counsellor? 15402 Whither away?" |
| 15402 | Whittier? 15402 Who is Sallie Howard?" |
| 15402 | Who is she? 15402 Who, indeed?" |
| 15402 | Why, Given, did n''t you say yourself that she was an octoroon, or some such thing? |
| 15402 | Why, how should that be? |
| 15402 | Why, what is it to you? |
| 15402 | Why? 15402 Why?" |
| 15402 | Will I never learn that? 15402 Will he practise?" |
| 15402 | Will this do? |
| 15402 | Would I?--O would n''t I? 15402 Would they work_ with_ him?" |
| 15402 | Ye----, what are ye doin''here? 15402 Yes,--do you know him?" |
| 15402 | You comprehend all that I mean? |
| 15402 | You have counted all the consequences? 15402 You know me?" |
| 15402 | You know the Franklins? |
| 15402 | You think so? |
| 15402 | _ Pourquoi_? |
| 15402 | ''Do you think he would continue to do so if he knew what you are?'' |
| 15402 | ''I bear''--what is it? |
| 15402 | ''In War- Time''? |
| 15402 | ''What need of a letter? |
| 15402 | --a pause--"won''t you get me some ice- cream this evening?" |
| 15402 | --what does it mean?" |
| 15402 | --what does the child mean? |
| 15402 | --with a quick laugh,--"what could have made you think so? |
| 15402 | A sudden heat flushed her cheeks:"Do you tell me your father made room for a black man in his employ, and at the expense of a white one?" |
| 15402 | Abijah, hey? |
| 15402 | Ai n''t I glad to see you? |
| 15402 | Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself having such a thing round? |
| 15402 | Am I cross?" |
| 15402 | Am I stating it all correctly?" |
| 15402 | And yet it ca n''t be that,--what were the first words I ever heard from her mouth?" |
| 15402 | And yet-- once more-- only once? |
| 15402 | And you do n''t know me at all,--don''t you? |
| 15402 | And''ll you do it?" |
| 15402 | Anna E. Dickinson 1868 WHAT ANSWER? |
| 15402 | Any objection?" |
| 15402 | Are you ready to listen?" |
| 15402 | Are you ready?" |
| 15402 | At last he said,"Father, will you never forego this cruel prejudice?" |
| 15402 | At least, they hold forth a bribe to secure me? |
| 15402 | Aye, might they not? |
| 15402 | Bad enough, being dead, to yet speak, and tell''em that paper did n''t represent my politics:''d that do?" |
| 15402 | Believing so, may I beg a favor of you? |
| 15402 | Blasting his career, will your love fill the gap? |
| 15402 | Both feeling and knowing this, who so fit to yield and to do for such a cause? |
| 15402 | Brooks, back again?" |
| 15402 | But may I ask where you saw mine? |
| 15402 | But what about your paragon?" |
| 15402 | But what are they? |
| 15402 | But what connection has that with your expedition?" |
| 15402 | CHAPTER XVIII"_ Will the future come? |
| 15402 | Ca n''t I go with you, Miss Ercildoune?" |
| 15402 | Can I serve you in any way further?" |
| 15402 | Can you send it up to- morrow?" |
| 15402 | Come, Sallie, own up; you would n''t like me so well as I hope you do if it was,--now, would you?" |
| 15402 | Come, now, ai n''t it?" |
| 15402 | Come, now, what do you call yourself,--an Injun?" |
| 15402 | Come, what''s your story? |
| 15402 | Did you know, Francesca?" |
| 15402 | Do you judge by the past? |
| 15402 | Dost hear?" |
| 15402 | E.?" |
| 15402 | Ercildoune,--from Philadelphia, you say?" |
| 15402 | Go to her looking like such a guy? |
| 15402 | Had a special despatch from him, that you know all about it? |
| 15402 | Had enough?" |
| 15402 | Hai''n''t they nothing but roots and berries up your way? |
| 15402 | Has Mr. Surrey been saying anything hard to you?" |
| 15402 | Has she been quarrelling with that young lover of hers, or refusing him? |
| 15402 | Have you done so?" |
| 15402 | Have you voted?" |
| 15402 | Help a fellow?" |
| 15402 | How about that?" |
| 15402 | How am I ever to get on with my narrative, if you keep interrupting me in this style? |
| 15402 | How and when will it be closed? |
| 15402 | How and when would they see him again? |
| 15402 | How are you to know? |
| 15402 | How could it be otherwise? |
| 15402 | How dared he? |
| 15402 | How passed the long night with that half- insensible soul? |
| 15402 | How''d you feel if you were picked up dead by a reb, with that stuff in your pocket? |
| 15402 | How, indeed, should you be able? |
| 15402 | How_ do_ you do? |
| 15402 | Hunt''s Sam?" |
| 15402 | I am greedy, I know, but then how can I help it?" |
| 15402 | I fought against it strong; do you know why?" |
| 15402 | I never thought of that before,--it''s the reason you and I have got on so swimmingly,--is it not, now? |
| 15402 | I say, Johnny, are all the white men down your way such little shavers as you?" |
| 15402 | I then cried, for astonishment had given place to rage,''how dared you deceive me-- deceive us all-- so? |
| 15402 | I want a young lady to know that I''m wounded in the arm,--you see? |
| 15402 | Instinct, hey? |
| 15402 | Is it universal?" |
| 15402 | Is n''t it?" |
| 15402 | Is she the_ lady_ upon whom Surrey has been bestowing his--?" |
| 15402 | It will be pleasant at Tanglewood over the Sabbath,--unless you have some engagements to keep you here?" |
| 15402 | Jim grinned sardonically:"She is rather pretty, now,--ain''t she?" |
| 15402 | Know him,--don''t I, though? |
| 15402 | Looks like a''nigger wench,''do n''t she?" |
| 15402 | Meanwhile what of Francesca? |
| 15402 | Meanwhile, what was occurring to others, in other scenes and among other surroundings? |
| 15402 | Meanwhile, where was Miss Ercildoune? |
| 15402 | Might she not have changed? |
| 15402 | Might they not? |
| 15402 | Need I tell you how this pains me? |
| 15402 | No,--you could n''t do that? |
| 15402 | Now I shall query once more, who is she?" |
| 15402 | Now these girls do n''t make a great noise, yet you can distinguish every word,--can''t you?" |
| 15402 | Now what is it? |
| 15402 | Now,"taking off his tin and looking towards them,"what d''ye s''pose those anemiles want? |
| 15402 | O, Miss Perry played that last thing very well for a school- girl, eh?" |
| 15402 | Perhaps-- Would you go away from here?" |
| 15402 | Pretty?" |
| 15402 | Put him out, ca n''t ye?" |
| 15402 | Ruining his life, can your affection make amends? |
| 15402 | Sallie did not know what to make of the expression of the face that watched her, nor of the exclamation,"Why not? |
| 15402 | See her? |
| 15402 | She caught Surrey''s hand between both of hers with a delighted cry:"Is it you, Mr. Willie? |
| 15402 | She is the same now as then; should I love her the less? |
| 15402 | She knew in this mood there was nothing to be said to him; and, indeed, what had she to say save that which would add fuel to the flame? |
| 15402 | Some ob de darkies is, but we''s not dem kind,--Jim an''me,--we''s willin''to work, ai n''t we, Jim?" |
| 15402 | Something''s wrong with you; who is she?" |
| 15402 | Taking all this from him, what will you give him in return? |
| 15402 | Taking up a piece at random, without pausing to remember the words, he said, spreading it before her,"May I tax you a little farther? |
| 15402 | That''s sound, is n''t it? |
| 15402 | The man whom you struck down this morning is one of our neighbors; you saw and heard his brutal assault: are you ready to face more of the like kind? |
| 15402 | The men were no cowards, and the captain was brave enough; but what could they do? |
| 15402 | Then, turning to Sam, who stood waiting, demanded,"Well, have you got it?" |
| 15402 | There: do you see that elegant- looking lady talking with Professor Hale? |
| 15402 | These creatures,--what are they? |
| 15402 | This is our time to wipe off a thousand stigmas of contempt and reproach: this"--"Who is responsible for them? |
| 15402 | Very well, then I''ll say good night, and leave; for it would n''t be proper to take a young lady you do n''t know to the theatre,--now, would it? |
| 15402 | WHAT ANSWER? |
| 15402 | Was it that the sun was going down, or that some clouds were in the sky, or had the air of the shop oppressed him? |
| 15402 | Well, sir, it''s agen nature,--you may talk agen it, and work agen it, and fight agen it till all''s blue, and what good''ll it do? |
| 15402 | Well,''Bijah, how came you two to be looking like a couple of animated skeletons? |
| 15402 | What ails you?" |
| 15402 | What are you laughing at? |
| 15402 | What cast them there? |
| 15402 | What could he say? |
| 15402 | What could it mean? |
| 15402 | What could there be in that little blue thing to cause such emotion? |
| 15402 | What could this black man, or this matter, be to her? |
| 15402 | What did he say? |
| 15402 | What did she think of me? |
| 15402 | What do_ you_ want to see Jim for?" |
| 15402 | What else had he expected? |
| 15402 | What folly possesses me? |
| 15402 | What hand, however tender, could be laid on such a wound as this? |
| 15402 | What have you got to say to that?" |
| 15402 | What held him silent? |
| 15402 | What in thunder did you bring the damned Copperhead sheet to me for, if you did n''t want it smashed? |
| 15402 | What is it you want?" |
| 15402 | What is there for you?" |
| 15402 | What of the other? |
| 15402 | What special phase of it has been disturbing your equanimity?" |
| 15402 | What visions passed before them? |
| 15402 | What was it? |
| 15402 | What was it? |
| 15402 | What was it?" |
| 15402 | What was this something? |
| 15402 | What''s his name, d''ye know?" |
| 15402 | When I got him quiet, and came back, Mrs. Lee says,"What''s the matter with Frank?" |
| 15402 | Where did that go?" |
| 15402 | Where were the arguments he had planned, the entreaties he had purposed? |
| 15402 | Who is he? |
| 15402 | Who is she,--do you know?" |
| 15402 | Who''s been putting on you to- day? |
| 15402 | Who, indeed, of your friends would not be?" |
| 15402 | Why did n''t you offer it yourself then?" |
| 15402 | Why should he?" |
| 15402 | Why--?" |
| 15402 | Will you not help me to it?" |
| 15402 | Will you please to speak to him, sir? |
| 15402 | Would n''t I pummel him some? |
| 15402 | You know nothing of_ him_?" |
| 15402 | You think so? |
| 15402 | You think this should cut off all hope?" |
| 15402 | You understand what my errand was?" |
| 15402 | _ can_ I love you, my beauty? |
| 15402 | about turning abolitionist?" |
| 15402 | ai n''t it a dreadful long walk, sonny?" |
| 15402 | an instinct that repels an Anglo- Saxon from a negro always and everywhere?" |
| 15402 | and how did it happen?" |
| 15402 | and of course they could n''t have supposed any one was coming after it,--could they? |
| 15402 | and the chap''s black?" |
| 15402 | and then, so low that even Sallie could not hear,"You suffer, too: do we all suffer, then?" |
| 15402 | are you certain?" |
| 15402 | are you ill, Francesca?" |
| 15402 | as he added after listening awhile;"do n''t you think so, Surrey?" |
| 15402 | at least, if they make no apology for the past, they offer compensation for the future? |
| 15402 | at least, they bid high for the services they desire? |
| 15402 | by the signs of to- day? |
| 15402 | could that do harm? |
| 15402 | cried Whittlesly, from the other side of his Colonel;"what are you driving at? |
| 15402 | cried the irate Virginian, his anger loosening his tongue,"want? |
| 15402 | did he, or did he not?" |
| 15402 | did he, this black man,--did he not do his work well?" |
| 15402 | do n''t that nagur think himself foine?'' |
| 15402 | do you fancy England so very fascinating?" |
| 15402 | do you know him?" |
| 15402 | do you suppose she saw you at the window? |
| 15402 | exclaimed John Bull,--"worse than the North?" |
| 15402 | exclaimed the old Friend,--"do my eyes deceive me?" |
| 15402 | he added presently,"eat like cannibals, do n''t they? |
| 15402 | he called,"that''s Bertie Curtis, ai n''t it?" |
| 15402 | he said when he seed me,''whar you cum from? |
| 15402 | he thought,"what sick fancies and sentimental nonsense possess me? |
| 15402 | he thought;"what does she mean by that? |
| 15402 | how and when will it be closed?" |
| 15402 | how control the beatings of his heart, the passion of his soul, that no sign should escape to wound or offend her? |
| 15402 | how do you know he''s rich?" |
| 15402 | how find words to speak the measured feelings of a friend? |
| 15402 | how shall I bear it? |
| 15402 | how shall I ever be able to thank you?" |
| 15402 | how? |
| 15402 | if you meet any''Lincoln vandals,''just give them my respects, will you?" |
| 15402 | interrupted Jim,--"what d''ye do then?" |
| 15402 | is it so?" |
| 15402 | is she the least little bit mad? |
| 15402 | it is Mr. Will, then, is it? |
| 15402 | long ago? |
| 15402 | looking at the little one,--"by the way, what''s your name?" |
| 15402 | may I entreat that you will induce her to see me, if only for a little while?" |
| 15402 | might she not have struggled for the mastery of this feeling with only too certain success? |
| 15402 | of course it was the room,--didn''t she say she was ill? |
| 15402 | of my position and prospects?" |
| 15402 | our own actions? |
| 15402 | ourselves? |
| 15402 | philanthropic?" |
| 15402 | protest, for instance?" |
| 15402 | quoting my own words against me?" |
| 15402 | responded the doctor, coming over to him,"what''s the go now? |
| 15402 | said Surrey softly,"does it not seem easy now to die?" |
| 15402 | school yonder,--well situated?" |
| 15402 | she queried, looking down on it,--''this?'' |
| 15402 | so I told her I did n''t know,--but would she see him? |
| 15402 | soliloquized Given,--"my name, hey? |
| 15402 | spoke up a well- dressed man, with the air and manner of a gentleman,"what does that card say?" |
| 15402 | streak like lightning, will you, to the''Merchants''? |
| 15402 | this her?" |
| 15402 | to a fine, frank- looking young fellow,--"and were you successful?" |
| 15402 | what ails you?" |
| 15402 | what are you gassing about?" |
| 15402 | what cause, then, for mournful scrutiny? |
| 15402 | what could he say? |
| 15402 | what could there have been in that talk to have such an effect as I have conjured up? |
| 15402 | what d''ye mean, coming here starved to death, making a fellow sick to look at you? |
| 15402 | what did you come for?" |
| 15402 | what do? |
| 15402 | what does that signify? |
| 15402 | what had I done that he should believe me such a thing as that? |
| 15402 | what has he done?" |
| 15402 | what now, young''un?" |
| 15402 | what shadows of the life she inspected darkened them? |
| 15402 | what shall I do? |
| 15402 | what warrant or guarantee have you for any such future? |
| 15402 | what''ll such fellows as you do with freedom, hey?" |
| 15402 | what''s all this?" |
| 15402 | what''s this nasty nagur doin''here? |
| 15402 | what''s to pay now?" |
| 15402 | what''ve you been doing with yourselves for''long while''? |
| 15402 | where did he grow?" |
| 15402 | where did she come from? |
| 15402 | where the words with which he was to tell his tale, combat her refusal, win her to a willing and happy assent? |
| 15402 | where? |
| 15402 | whispering it, and snuggling her blushing face closer to the faded blue,"can you love me after all that has happened?" |
| 15402 | who knows? |
| 15402 | why did I let you come?" |
| 15402 | why do n''t you bind him over to keep the peace?" |
| 15402 | why should n''t I?" |
| 15402 | why, Francesca, is it so hateful to you? |
| 15402 | worse?" |
| 15402 | you''re in time to hear the confession, are you?" |
| 15402 | your great- grandmother, eh? |
| 28648 | A blacksmithy town? |
| 28648 | A compromise? 28648 A crown, then?" |
| 28648 | Always? 28648 Am I so pretty?" |
| 28648 | Am I such a crying girl? |
| 28648 | And Andrew Henry? |
| 28648 | And cheesecake? |
| 28648 | And did he confess this wrong to her? |
| 28648 | And did you like this Master Penn? |
| 28648 | And did you swear? |
| 28648 | And did you wish it too? |
| 28648 | And do you think he could find my mother and my father? 28648 And he will come again?" |
| 28648 | And how can one tell? |
| 28648 | And if he had shot me? |
| 28648 | And if thou shouldst die, as we are but mortal, the best of us, wilt thou transfer her back to us? |
| 28648 | And if you had shot Phil----"Well, what would you have done? |
| 28648 | And if your son marries among the world''s people and leaves the faith what will you do? |
| 28648 | And is it not for us, his children? 28648 And is not her guardian, the other one, a well- to- do Quaker? |
| 28648 | And is there-- any longing for me? |
| 28648 | And leave the city? |
| 28648 | And my brother? |
| 28648 | And my mother? |
| 28648 | And now what next? |
| 28648 | And she had no breakfast? 28648 And still a stout Tory, I suppose, regarding me as a renegade?" |
| 28648 | And then-- dost thou hope to marry him? |
| 28648 | And these cousins they talk about? |
| 28648 | And what didst thou do? |
| 28648 | And what hath happened since? |
| 28648 | And where did he go at last? |
| 28648 | And where were you born? |
| 28648 | And who cut thy lovely hair so short? 28648 And why did you not fall in love with him?" |
| 28648 | And why do they learn so much? |
| 28648 | And will they come here and take us all prisoners? |
| 28648 | And will you not stay a soldier? 28648 And you are quite sure you will never quarrel with me?" |
| 28648 | And you believe,returned Jeffries scornfully,"that a handful of men can conquer the flower of Britain? |
| 28648 | And you do love me-- a little? |
| 28648 | And you give me up so easily-- your own brother? |
| 28648 | And you have quite forgotten me? 28648 And you would have-- do you mean to marry him? |
| 28648 | And you, Patty? |
| 28648 | And, now, which way retreated the rebels after their defeat? |
| 28648 | And_ you_ will hold no malice? |
| 28648 | Andrew, why must I go to Aunt Wetherill''s every six months? |
| 28648 | Andrew, wilt thou always be a Quaker? |
| 28648 | Are people very queer, Andrew? 28648 Are these canting Puritans going to rule us with their quarrels?" |
| 28648 | Are you not glad to see me? 28648 Are you sure there are no bones broken?" |
| 28648 | Art thou not unduly bitter, Primrose? |
| 28648 | Art thou sad about Captain Wardour? |
| 28648 | Art thou sure there is no risk? |
| 28648 | Art thou very angry with him? |
| 28648 | At card- playing? |
| 28648 | At least you will let me try to win your regard? |
| 28648 | But do not the soldiers need something out of the fund? |
| 28648 | But do you not suppose the soldiers around Valley Forge cut down the woods as well? 28648 But dost thou not sew or knit?" |
| 28648 | But how have you come? 28648 But my sister?" |
| 28648 | But the mare-- how shall I get her back? |
| 28648 | But what is a queen if there are no thrones here in America? |
| 28648 | But what is it? |
| 28648 | But why must I come? 28648 But why must I go?" |
| 28648 | But why not ride? 28648 But you know you do? |
| 28648 | Can I do nothing to assist? |
| 28648 | Can not something be done with this wicked compromise? 28648 Can we not take her home at once?" |
| 28648 | Canst thou courtesy, child? 28648 Canst thou send a blind message to the Pewter Platter at once? |
| 28648 | Caves by the river''s edge? 28648 Child, have you forgotten me?" |
| 28648 | Child, when did you come? |
| 28648 | Did I sigh? 28648 Didst thou have any breakfast?" |
| 28648 | Do they always turn the other cheek to the smiter? |
| 28648 | Do you know how we are loitering? 28648 Do you know of anyone born in July?" |
| 28648 | Do you know this Allin Wharton? |
| 28648 | Do you like her very much? |
| 28648 | Do you suppose the little girls I knew last winter will ever come back? |
| 28648 | Do you think he ought to marry her? |
| 28648 | Do you think it really can influence anyone? |
| 28648 | Does not the broken limb mend? |
| 28648 | Dost thou go often to the city? |
| 28648 | Dost thou know anything of the other army? |
| 28648 | Dost thou know,she asked of Penn one day,"where Andrew goes in these curious absences? |
| 28648 | Dost thou know? |
| 28648 | Dost thou truly think Andrew will return? |
| 28648 | Dost thou try to agree when things are not to thy liking? |
| 28648 | Dull? |
| 28648 | Even if it is gold-- British gold? 28648 Faith? |
| 28648 | For the King? |
| 28648 | Has Polly so many? |
| 28648 | Hast thou been up to some mischief? |
| 28648 | Hast thou not heard? |
| 28648 | Hast thou seen aught of that willful child? |
| 28648 | Have we any court? |
| 28648 | He hath been here, in this house? |
| 28648 | He will not stay away? |
| 28648 | How are they all at the farm? |
| 28648 | How canst thou judge? 28648 How could one be well with such a great sorrow?" |
| 28648 | How did you come to know? |
| 28648 | How do you know? 28648 How should another know it? |
| 28648 | I hope nothing was amiss? |
| 28648 | I like my Cousin Andrew----"How comes it that he is_ thy_ cousin? 28648 I wonder if you are on the side of the King? |
| 28648 | Is Uncle James quite well and strong? |
| 28648 | Is a will such a very bad thing, Cousin Andrew? |
| 28648 | Is anything displeasing to thee about Rachel? |
| 28648 | Is gayety so very wrong, Andrew? 28648 Is girlhood sharp, then, and-- and sour?" |
| 28648 | Is it a long ride? |
| 28648 | Is it not_ my_ country? 28648 Is it really true that this fire- eating young captain is-- what shall I say? |
| 28648 | Is it truly my brother? |
| 28648 | Is that because you are a man? |
| 28648 | Is that the voice of the child Primrose? |
| 28648 | Is trade fair to- day, Friend Broadbrim? 28648 Julius and Joe and the old Pepper Pot woman, and the Calamus boys?" |
| 28648 | Marry him? 28648 Mother?" |
| 28648 | My friend? 28648 Not even a wife, if I should get one? |
| 28648 | Not even in the morning? |
| 28648 | Not have her here? |
| 28648 | Not one of the Lord''s people I hope? |
| 28648 | Of course we expect you to go, do n''t we, Polly? 28648 Oh, Phil, am I very naughty and cross?" |
| 28648 | Oh, Primrose, surely you did not, do not love Captain Vane? |
| 28648 | Oh, that is the portrait hanging in the big room at Arch Street, and is Captain Wardour? |
| 28648 | Oh, what can we do? |
| 28648 | Oh, what is it, madam? |
| 28648 | Oh, where am I? |
| 28648 | Oh, why did you say it? |
| 28648 | Oh,she could not resist this,"was it not glorious there at Yorktown?" |
| 28648 | Patty, did you hear my great- aunt say if I was to go out to the farm? 28648 Primrose, hast thou forgotten me?" |
| 28648 | Primrose? 28648 Rachel?" |
| 28648 | See, madam-- dost thou like me better this way? |
| 28648 | Shall I ever be like my dear mother or have any of the sober Henry blood in me? |
| 28648 | Shall I go? |
| 28648 | Shall I not bring thee some, too? |
| 28648 | Shall I take the towels out to hem? |
| 28648 | Son, what delayed thee so? 28648 Surely you will wish me a farewell in a kindly fashion?" |
| 28648 | Take me back, wo n''t you? 28648 Then thou wilt not hinder him again? |
| 28648 | Then wilt thou carry my idea with thee and consider it well? 28648 Then you could forgive him?" |
| 28648 | This is not----How could he explain it to her comprehension? |
| 28648 | Thou art not very much in love with the cousins? |
| 28648 | Thou didst see Andrew before he went away? |
| 28648 | Thou didst see him then? |
| 28648 | Thou hast not been in to market of late? |
| 28648 | Thou wilt not let him take me away? 28648 Thou wilt stay and be content?" |
| 28648 | Thy brother? 28648 To see me?" |
| 28648 | Truly, Faith, thou didst not hate me? |
| 28648 | Was I angry? 28648 Was I very cruel?" |
| 28648 | Was it disgrace? |
| 28648 | Was it very wrong? 28648 Was n''t it queer we should all have had a hand in the fight, and Andrew never got scratched?" |
| 28648 | Well, does it take thee so by surprise? 28648 Well,"he said presently, veiling his impatience,"am I to see the little girl?" |
| 28648 | What arms? |
| 28648 | What art thou studying about so gravely? |
| 28648 | What became of that old friend of yours, who changed your colors for mine, and went to fight my battles? |
| 28648 | What has happened, cousin? |
| 28648 | What hast thou been doing with her? |
| 28648 | What is all this discussion and high voices about? |
| 28648 | What is it, Primrose? |
| 28648 | What is it? |
| 28648 | What is it? |
| 28648 | What is piquet? |
| 28648 | What is she like-- very grand? 28648 What preachment is the little maid making, Andrew?" |
| 28648 | What queer gift do you possess of metamorphosis? 28648 What rights, indeed, to a rebel maiden who would hate the sight of so many red coats together?" |
| 28648 | What were we talking of? 28648 What will there be war about?" |
| 28648 | What wilt thou do? |
| 28648 | What would you have on an April day? 28648 What, not with this splendid prospect? |
| 28648 | Whatever is the matter? |
| 28648 | When I get as old as Rachel-- how old is that? 28648 When is Fair time?" |
| 28648 | When wilt thou give me a confidence? |
| 28648 | When wilt thou give me a little of this measure? |
| 28648 | Where is Faith? |
| 28648 | Where is she? |
| 28648 | Where is the child? |
| 28648 | Where will a note reach you? |
| 28648 | Who makes the law? 28648 Who may Patty be? |
| 28648 | Who was in a passion? |
| 28648 | Who was that boor? |
| 28648 | Who will she marry? |
| 28648 | Why could n''t we all go? 28648 Why do we not have some hunts?" |
| 28648 | Why, is your father getting about so soon? |
| 28648 | Why, were you going to shoot him? |
| 28648 | Will anyone scold me? |
| 28648 | Will you not be generous enough to give us a peep at this handsome captain? 28648 Wilt thou come in and see him? |
| 28648 | Wilt thou go, then? |
| 28648 | Wilt thou see her? |
| 28648 | Wo n''t it be wet? |
| 28648 | Would it be a great disappointment if thou didst not go? |
| 28648 | You little mischief,and Phil gave Primrose a soft pinch afterward,"how did you dare? |
| 28648 | You think Friend Wetherill is quite honest about the child? |
| 28648 | ***** Was there a ghost in the room? |
| 28648 | A Henry who has dared to lift his hand against the country of his birth, and regrets it now in his better understanding of events? |
| 28648 | A relative, since this pretty flower is your niece, is she not? |
| 28648 | A square, ugly little town, is it not?" |
| 28648 | All these years of thy kind care----""Well-- what of her? |
| 28648 | Am I losing Quaker simplicity?" |
| 28648 | Am I of less account than a serving woman?" |
| 28648 | And Andrew-- Major Henry, do we call him?" |
| 28648 | And I wonder how it was his sweet little sister did not convert him? |
| 28648 | And can they talk to each other with those little nods and swinging back and forth?" |
| 28648 | And did he speak of any return?" |
| 28648 | And do n''t you remember that you talked to me as well? |
| 28648 | And has he any family?" |
| 28648 | And hast thou no word of praise for the bracelets?" |
| 28648 | And how dost thou come by so much prettiness? |
| 28648 | And if I could get needful things to them, clothes and blankets? |
| 28648 | And if no one likes me why can I not go back to Aunt Wetherill?" |
| 28648 | And if we can not love one another, how shall we love God?" |
| 28648 | And if women can be queens, why ca n''t they be something else?" |
| 28648 | And is it really thy brother? |
| 28648 | And is that where the Penny Pot stands----""Who told thee about that?" |
| 28648 | And it is the being torn away----""But wert thou not torn away from this house last year?" |
| 28648 | And just now I want to dance and shout, do n''t you, Primrose? |
| 28648 | And now, Madam Wetherill, what shall I do? |
| 28648 | And now, dear madam, when you are rested, can we have a better afternoon to ride out to the Pembertons''? |
| 28648 | And now-- shall I go up to bed?" |
| 28648 | And oh, where was her poor brother? |
| 28648 | And so thou wilt not go, Primrose?" |
| 28648 | And so thy Aunt Lois did not really take thee to task?" |
| 28648 | And the child-- where is she?" |
| 28648 | And the young man?" |
| 28648 | And this is the little cousin? |
| 28648 | And thou hast resolved to be a soldier lad? |
| 28648 | And thou?" |
| 28648 | And what does the child say to this fine surprise?" |
| 28648 | And what shall we do for thee? |
| 28648 | And what think you Lieutenant Vane did when we were going to ride a few days since? |
| 28648 | And what was God that she stood dreadfully in awe of, who could see her while she could not see Him? |
| 28648 | And why do not the people who like him go back to that country?" |
| 28648 | And why was she not sent to weed in the garden or put at other unpleasant work? |
| 28648 | And yet, was she not his lawful wife, and had he not a right? |
| 28648 | And you met face to face?" |
| 28648 | And you will not stray very far? |
| 28648 | And, doctor, what mystery is there about this mishap? |
| 28648 | And, now, what is the news? |
| 28648 | Andrew"--with a strange, new hesitation--"is it-- is it wrong to kiss thee?" |
| 28648 | Andrew-- I wonder what kind of a wife you would like?" |
| 28648 | Are the little birds the babies, and are there cousins and aunts and grandmothers all faded and shriveled up? |
| 28648 | Are we, their own offspring, to be always considered children and servants, and have masters appointed over us without any say of our own? |
| 28648 | Are you sure it will stop by noon?" |
| 28648 | But certainly you are a Quaker no longer, with that becoming attire? |
| 28648 | But tell me what else thou art doing on week- days?" |
| 28648 | But the spinet----"Patty,"she ventured timidly,"do you not think I ought to go at my notes? |
| 28648 | But there is something about thee, Primrose-- canst thou remember how the chickens followed thee, and the birds and the squirrels never seemed afraid? |
| 28648 | But what can I say to Philemon? |
| 28648 | But what right had Rachel to condemn it? |
| 28648 | But, Andrew, wilt thou never regret this step?" |
| 28648 | Can I safely show the white feather? |
| 28648 | Canst thou get things to Valley Forge?" |
| 28648 | Child, how can you resist him?" |
| 28648 | Chloe, hast thou observed her stealing out?" |
| 28648 | Come, can I not be liked a little? |
| 28648 | Content? |
| 28648 | Could she follow in her mother''s steps? |
| 28648 | Did he love her that way? |
| 28648 | Did he not bring some supplies while we were in so much want, and come near to getting in trouble? |
| 28648 | Did she love Andrew Henry with an absorbing love, such as Polly had for her brother? |
| 28648 | Did she love him? |
| 28648 | Did she pull the stalwart figure down with her small hands? |
| 28648 | Did the river never overflow them? |
| 28648 | Did they know she was going away next week? |
| 28648 | Did you know I had a brother, Andrew?" |
| 28648 | Did you like the fun?" |
| 28648 | Didst thou ever doubt it?" |
| 28648 | Didst thou kiss him? |
| 28648 | Do you love her most?" |
| 28648 | Do you think good Madam Wetherill, who has been so much to you, would let you ask a guest for a few days? |
| 28648 | Do you think my father truly meant me to be? |
| 28648 | Do you think she could hear in the sky? |
| 28648 | Does Faith read and spell and repeat Latin verses, and write a fair hand?" |
| 28648 | Dost thou know the firebird, with his coat of red, and the yellow finches and the bluebirds? |
| 28648 | Friend Henry, why do your community consider smiling sinful when it is so pretty and comes from a merry heart? |
| 28648 | Had not Andrew said there was a condition he could not fulfill? |
| 28648 | Had not the famous Declaration of Independence been born here and the State House bell pealed out the first tocsin of freedom? |
| 28648 | Had thy mother any sisters?" |
| 28648 | Has the place charmed us? |
| 28648 | Hast thou not remarked, dear aunt, that he betrays a tendency toward worldliness?" |
| 28648 | Hast thou one kiss that I may take with me, holding all the sweetness of generous accord?" |
| 28648 | Hast thou taken thy father''s name?" |
| 28648 | Hath he been here?" |
| 28648 | Hath she proved refractory? |
| 28648 | Have I not convinced you that I repented of them, and am doing my best to make amends?" |
| 28648 | His kisses-- ah,_ had_ she any right to offer the cup of joy and delight to another when someone had drained the first sweetness? |
| 28648 | How canst thou do it?" |
| 28648 | How could he make her understand? |
| 28648 | How could she love him? |
| 28648 | How did it occur? |
| 28648 | How do you do, Mistress Primrose? |
| 28648 | How is Aunt Lois, and Faith?" |
| 28648 | How many of you will ride?" |
| 28648 | How many, think you, will come to the fore if there is a call to arms? |
| 28648 | How much had the suggestion he had given had to do with his cousin''s almost capture and enlistment? |
| 28648 | How queer it was to meet thus, but then, could any man resist Primrose Henry? |
| 28648 | How will we plan it? |
| 28648 | I hope, madam, you are not too bitter against us?" |
| 28648 | I wonder if next summer will give us such a scene?" |
| 28648 | I wonder if thou hast forgotten her?" |
| 28648 | I?" |
| 28648 | If it comes to that, what will the Quakers do, I wonder? |
| 28648 | If thou wilt sell provisions to me for them-- thy father keeps a sharp lookout?" |
| 28648 | If war should come, would one have to choose between his country and his faith? |
| 28648 | Is he here now?" |
| 28648 | Is he not Lord somebody?" |
| 28648 | Is it so, Primrose?" |
| 28648 | Is it the tall Quaker cousin madam talks about, or the other-- William Penn?" |
| 28648 | Is not that a pretty compliment? |
| 28648 | Is she as pleasing as the name? |
| 28648 | Is she my real cousin? |
| 28648 | Is she that? |
| 28648 | Is she unconscious? |
| 28648 | Is that why I am changed about so? |
| 28648 | Is there no more inviting topic?" |
| 28648 | Is there no sign of returning animation?" |
| 28648 | Is thy mother well this summer?" |
| 28648 | It is in the spring, is n''t it, and that is why you were named Primrose?" |
| 28648 | It was about vain and frivolous world''s people, and Chloe said she was not a Quaker any more, and I-- how canst thou like her, Cousin Andrew?" |
| 28648 | It will not stick to anyone''s fingers?" |
| 28648 | It would be a hard wrench, but if he was called upon to do it? |
| 28648 | Let me see?" |
| 28648 | Madam Wetherill, how do you keep such a sprite in order?" |
| 28648 | Meanwhile, wilt thou have a glass of wine, or ale, or even a cup of tea?" |
| 28648 | Must I become a Quaker as well?" |
| 28648 | Nonsense, Phil, why do you alarm a body? |
| 28648 | Now, truly, was I not a silly girl?" |
| 28648 | Oh, can I go back? |
| 28648 | Oh, do you mean young Vane? |
| 28648 | Oh, do you remember when I ran over you on the Schuylkill and quarreled with your brother and wanted to fight a duel? |
| 28648 | Oh, how did they begin? |
| 28648 | Oh, how long would she have to stay at Uncle Henry''s? |
| 28648 | Oh, was so sweet a thing as a kiss wrong? |
| 28648 | Oh, will Andrew ever come? |
| 28648 | Oh, wilt thou not try to be content?" |
| 28648 | Or is everything wicked that does not grow to eat?" |
| 28648 | Ought not the farm belong to Andrew?" |
| 28648 | Penn is here, and does your father need two sons? |
| 28648 | Penn?" |
| 28648 | Primrose, didst thou put away thy things neatly?" |
| 28648 | Primrose, how are they-- my dear mother?" |
| 28648 | Rachel is very stern and hath sharp eyes----"Should she confess last night''s misdemeanor? |
| 28648 | Really, was he being caught with the world''s snare, beauty? |
| 28648 | See how quaint they are?" |
| 28648 | She and Allin had had an April fling and had settled into May bloom, but-- could anything have been different-- better? |
| 28648 | She smil- ed then, replying, Said,''O my son, how can it be? |
| 28648 | Shippen?" |
| 28648 | So my little sister is here? |
| 28648 | Suppose I scarred my face and deformed my body, would my praise be any more acceptable to Him? |
| 28648 | Suppose one had an old husband like that? |
| 28648 | Surely you should meet us half- way?" |
| 28648 | That by a bee you''re dying,-- What must she feel who''s stung by thee?''" |
| 28648 | The girl''s soft arms were around her neck and the sweet young voice, with a rapture of emotion, cried,"Oh, madam, am I indeed so dear to you?" |
| 28648 | Then thou hast little fear? |
| 28648 | Then what delicacies will you have for supper?" |
| 28648 | Then,"laughingly,"do you think you two could ever come to an agreement and be friendly as brothers if your interests were identical?" |
| 28648 | There would be Faith----""Should I like her?" |
| 28648 | There, is it not a delightful picture?" |
| 28648 | Thine own brother? |
| 28648 | Thou shalt get settled here, and-- and marry some pretty rebel wife----""And quarrel with her?" |
| 28648 | Thou wilt go to Valley Forge?" |
| 28648 | Truly, truly?" |
| 28648 | WHOM SHALL SHE PITY? |
| 28648 | Was Primrose afraid of punishment, and had Rachel said more to her than she was willing to own? |
| 28648 | Was it Primrose in all that strange, sweet glory? |
| 28648 | Was it liberty to compel another? |
| 28648 | Was it on thy mother''s side?" |
| 28648 | Was it some suggestion of the tempter? |
| 28648 | Was it this? |
| 28648 | Was my father of that stamp, dear madam?" |
| 28648 | Was n''t it grand to see Andrew in his new uniform? |
| 28648 | Was such tenderness reprehensible? |
| 28648 | Was there any story in the eyes that gave a glimpse of the great heart back of them? |
| 28648 | Was there anything she could do? |
| 28648 | Was there ever a summer without diversions? |
| 28648 | Was there someone who had a better right than Allin? |
| 28648 | Was_ she_ thinking of anything? |
| 28648 | We forget that they are our own kin, of our own brave English blood, and would we tolerate an invader? |
| 28648 | We have had to make our way against Indian savages, and did we not conquer the French in our mother''s behalf? |
| 28648 | Well, moppet?" |
| 28648 | Well, what can we do? |
| 28648 | Were not husbands enjoined to be tender to their wives? |
| 28648 | Were they packed away, Patty, like one''s best clothes? |
| 28648 | What can one do when the enemy sows tares? |
| 28648 | What caper is this? |
| 28648 | What coaxing art hast thou? |
| 28648 | What didst thou say down in the orchard? |
| 28648 | What didst thou say?" |
| 28648 | What dost thou know about the King? |
| 28648 | What else shall I do to win thee?" |
| 28648 | What if she did not promise? |
| 28648 | What if the war should be a failure? |
| 28648 | What if they make Cousin Andrew fight? |
| 28648 | What if we had both been foes to the teeth?" |
| 28648 | What is death, and why does God want people when He has so many in heaven? |
| 28648 | What is it thou must do?" |
| 28648 | What is she like? |
| 28648 | What made goodness and badness? |
| 28648 | What made people so unlike? |
| 28648 | What pleasure would it be to me to dance and be gay with my country''s enemies? |
| 28648 | What put such nonsense in thy head? |
| 28648 | What shall I do?" |
| 28648 | What should a thing without a soul do in heaven where all is praise and worship?" |
| 28648 | What should he do? |
| 28648 | What think you of that, dear madam?" |
| 28648 | What was in the garden at the Henrys''? |
| 28648 | What was it? |
| 28648 | What was it? |
| 28648 | What was that? |
| 28648 | What were we talking about when I made that slip? |
| 28648 | When did thou see them last?" |
| 28648 | When have you heard from your brother?" |
| 28648 | When will it be time to go to the farm?" |
| 28648 | Where can she have gone? |
| 28648 | Where have I been? |
| 28648 | Where is my son, and why does he stay so? |
| 28648 | Where is she?" |
| 28648 | Where was Gilbert Vane? |
| 28648 | Where was the old tree blown almost over by wind and storm that she used to run up, and fancy herself a squirrel? |
| 28648 | Where would be the dignity or security of any such government? |
| 28648 | Who hath gone?" |
| 28648 | Whom, pray?" |
| 28648 | Why can we not trade with any port in the world? |
| 28648 | Why could not everybody let her alone? |
| 28648 | Why could she not give them wholly to the Lord, and be glad they were in His fold, safe from evil? |
| 28648 | Why did Philemon Henry die?" |
| 28648 | Why do not people like these go back to England?" |
| 28648 | Why do they have all the bright colors?" |
| 28648 | Why do we not sing, Andrew?" |
| 28648 | Why had she not gone and taken her fill? |
| 28648 | Why is he not content to govern England and let us alone?" |
| 28648 | Why must I stay?" |
| 28648 | Why must you be so regardful of her?" |
| 28648 | Why not give him a helping hand?" |
| 28648 | Why should one want to get married? |
| 28648 | Why should she shrink from his marrying Rachel? |
| 28648 | Why, Polly, have we ever been here before?" |
| 28648 | Will she be generous? |
| 28648 | Will the great and wise men sign the document?" |
| 28648 | Will you come in and talk with him?" |
| 28648 | Will you deny utterly that you do?" |
| 28648 | Will you not be seated? |
| 28648 | Will you not give me one smile? |
| 28648 | Wilt thou come in? |
| 28648 | Wilt thou ever be content again?" |
| 28648 | Wilt thou have a party?" |
| 28648 | Wilt thou hear how he left the town?" |
| 28648 | Wilt thou try to persuade him?" |
| 28648 | Would Rover remember the little girl of last summer? |
| 28648 | Would it be the old story over again? |
| 28648 | Would it make a great difference?" |
| 28648 | Would n''t Primrose come with him? |
| 28648 | Would she be allowed to take her books along, or must she go on with the spinning and sewing? |
| 28648 | Would they never get talked out? |
| 28648 | Would we not fight to the last man? |
| 28648 | Would you rather have her than-- than me? |
| 28648 | Wouldst thou like to see her?" |
| 28648 | You would like a Friend best, Andrew? |
| 28648 | is it true that some of the flower of our town have perished? |
| 28648 | shalt thou cease to care whether I come or not?" |
| 28648 | tender, sweet, brave eyes? |
| 28648 | what am I saying? |
| 10729 | A child? 10729 A lady?" |
| 10729 | After all the injury I have done you, you are yet willing to trust me? |
| 10729 | Ai n''t goin''to stop? |
| 10729 | Ai n''t it a pretty un? |
| 10729 | Ai n''t it rich? |
| 10729 | Ai n''t you ever going to carry me back? |
| 10729 | Am I going with her to- morrow morning? |
| 10729 | And are you not generous enough to exert yourself without demanding of me this sacrifice? |
| 10729 | And do you mean to say,demanded the baker, sternly,"that you did n''t know it was bad when you offered it to me?" |
| 10729 | And do you recollect the month in which this happened? |
| 10729 | And how can your silence benefit me? |
| 10729 | And how does Rachel look upon her? |
| 10729 | And how long have you been with her? |
| 10729 | And how long since was that? |
| 10729 | And how long will it take us to go to the place you are going to carry me to? |
| 10729 | And it was this that enabled you to find the house to- day? |
| 10729 | And shall we come back to New York to- night? |
| 10729 | And shall we ride in the cars? |
| 10729 | And what are they, I should like to know? 10729 And what business have you to decide what is wicked? |
| 10729 | And what did you offer me in payment? |
| 10729 | And where do you live? |
| 10729 | And where''s the lady you said you were going to see? |
| 10729 | And why would n''t he let you have it? |
| 10729 | And you are a mad- doctor? |
| 10729 | And you are not my brother, Jack? |
| 10729 | And you believe she yet lives? |
| 10729 | And you would carry me back to my father and mother? |
| 10729 | And you would n''t care about going back? |
| 10729 | And you''re-- let me see-- how old are you? |
| 10729 | And, in the meantime, you are willing to undertake some other employment? |
| 10729 | Are there? 10729 Are we going further?" |
| 10729 | Are we going to see a lady? |
| 10729 | Are we''most there? |
| 10729 | Are you an American, sir? |
| 10729 | Are you fond of knitting, ma''am? |
| 10729 | Are you getting hungry, my dear sir? |
| 10729 | Are you going to let me out? |
| 10729 | Are you going to walk all the way? |
| 10729 | Are you married? |
| 10729 | Are you sorry? |
| 10729 | Are you sure of that, Aunt Rachel? |
| 10729 | Are you the lady of the house? |
| 10729 | Are you trying for that? |
| 10729 | Are you willing to enter upon life with that scanty supply of knowledge? |
| 10729 | Aunt Rachel, there''s somebody at the door; wo n''t you be kind enough to see who it is? |
| 10729 | Aunt, have you got anything to eat? 10729 Been carried off? |
| 10729 | But how could you do it, without any of us knowing what you were about? |
| 10729 | But where''s my papers? |
| 10729 | But you would n''t condemn a bill because it is new? |
| 10729 | By whom? |
| 10729 | Can I see Ida? |
| 10729 | Can anybody tell me why she''s like a good ship? |
| 10729 | Can it be a New Year''s present? 10729 Can you bring her here, sir?" |
| 10729 | Can you let her go this afternoon? |
| 10729 | Can you remember Ida when she was first brought to your house? |
| 10729 | Can you tell me anything about the girl in that picture? |
| 10729 | Can you tell me anything of her parentage? |
| 10729 | Can you think of any plan, Jack? |
| 10729 | Can you think of none? |
| 10729 | Compliments aside, then, will you proceed to whatever business brought you here? |
| 10729 | Could n''t we get that? |
| 10729 | Counterfeit? |
| 10729 | Cured? |
| 10729 | Did he say anything about the money? |
| 10729 | Did n''t I tell you so? |
| 10729 | Did n''t you promise to do whatever I told you? |
| 10729 | Did n''t you send word to me to meet you here? |
| 10729 | Did n''t your mother ever tell you that it is our duty to help the poor? |
| 10729 | Did she come again? |
| 10729 | Did she do much in that way? |
| 10729 | Did she look anything like this picture? |
| 10729 | Did she wear anything around her neck? |
| 10729 | Did they send you for me? |
| 10729 | Did you call her Ida? |
| 10729 | Did you ever ride in a steamboat? |
| 10729 | Did you get tired of waiting for me? |
| 10729 | Did you hear nothing, Ferguson? |
| 10729 | Did you leave all well at home? |
| 10729 | Did you speak, madam? |
| 10729 | Did you speak? |
| 10729 | Do I know anybody of the name of Daniel? 10729 Do n''t you feel well this afternoon, Rachel?" |
| 10729 | Do n''t you remember buying something here a week ago? |
| 10729 | Do n''t you see it in the unexpected good fortune which came with this child? |
| 10729 | Do n''t you? 10729 Do you know father and mother?" |
| 10729 | Do you know what it is for? |
| 10729 | Do you know what they were doing? |
| 10729 | Do you live in Philadelphia? 10729 Do you mean this, or do you only say it for the sake of getting away?" |
| 10729 | Do you promise? |
| 10729 | Do you really think so? |
| 10729 | Do you speak from experience, Aunt Rachel? |
| 10729 | Do you suppose I would ask you to do anything wicked? |
| 10729 | Do you think I can get it? |
| 10729 | Do you think it would be proper to marry so suddenly? |
| 10729 | Do you want to begin now? |
| 10729 | Do you want to grow up a dunce, Jack? |
| 10729 | Do you wish to see me about anything? |
| 10729 | Does n''t it say there''s a time to laugh, too? |
| 10729 | Does this yield you a good support? |
| 10729 | Does your head feel any better, Rachel? |
| 10729 | For me? |
| 10729 | For your mother, I suppose? |
| 10729 | From your heart? |
| 10729 | Go in and look at the house? |
| 10729 | Good- morning,said the baker;"what will you have to- day?" |
| 10729 | Has Mrs. Hardwick been here to ask about me? |
| 10729 | Has n''t it, though? |
| 10729 | Have I got two mothers? |
| 10729 | Have n''t I told you? 10729 Have n''t you a kiss for me, too, Ida?" |
| 10729 | Have you a husband living? |
| 10729 | Have you a husband? |
| 10729 | Have you any new commission to- day? |
| 10729 | Have you felt lonely any? |
| 10729 | Have you got any of your drawings with you? |
| 10729 | Have you got home so quick, Aunt Rachel? |
| 10729 | Have you lived with Ida''s mother ever since? |
| 10729 | Have you met with any misfortune? 10729 Have you set up a carriage, Jack?" |
| 10729 | Have you the money? |
| 10729 | Have you? |
| 10729 | How about the counterfeit coin? |
| 10729 | How am I to credit that? 10729 How are you, Charlie?" |
| 10729 | How can you say such things? |
| 10729 | How can you talk so, Rachel? |
| 10729 | How could I? |
| 10729 | How could anyone have the heart to work me this great injury? 10729 How did you enjoy your walk?" |
| 10729 | How did you get hold of her? |
| 10729 | How did you get it? |
| 10729 | How did you get out? |
| 10729 | How did you manage to come it over her family? |
| 10729 | How do you account for the letter, then? |
| 10729 | How is this? |
| 10729 | How long are you going to keep me cooped up here? |
| 10729 | How long do you require? |
| 10729 | How long have you been a nursemaid? |
| 10729 | How long is it since Ida was lost? |
| 10729 | How long''s he going to stay? |
| 10729 | How many bills have you there? |
| 10729 | How much will it be? |
| 10729 | How old was your sister when your parents adopted her? |
| 10729 | How shall I thank you, madam? |
| 10729 | How soon? |
| 10729 | How''s that? |
| 10729 | How? |
| 10729 | How? |
| 10729 | Hurt ye much, Rachel? |
| 10729 | I called to inquire,asked Mr. Harding,"whether you have let your house?" |
| 10729 | I hope the dear child is well? |
| 10729 | I hope you do n''t find her very much trouble? 10729 I suppose Mrs. Hardwick is in your employ?" |
| 10729 | I suppose he''s a model boy? |
| 10729 | I suppose you will excuse my suggesting also that it is dinner time? |
| 10729 | I suppose you''d like to know who I am? |
| 10729 | I suppose,said Jack,"you are afraid I will denounce you to the police?" |
| 10729 | I think you told me you were a cooper? |
| 10729 | I wonder who that woman is with Ida? |
| 10729 | I wonder why Jack do n''t come home? |
| 10729 | Ida Hardwick? |
| 10729 | Ida,said Mrs. Hardwick,"wo n''t you come and kiss your old nurse?" |
| 10729 | Ida? 10729 Ida?" |
| 10729 | If she calls again, either with or without Ida, will you ask her to come up here? 10729 If this young man attempts to escape, Samuel, what will you do?" |
| 10729 | In getting away? |
| 10729 | Inside the carriage? |
| 10729 | Is he the one? |
| 10729 | Is it a gentleman? |
| 10729 | Is it impossible for me to succeed? 10729 Is it possible?" |
| 10729 | Is it safe? 10729 Is it taken from life?" |
| 10729 | Is it wicked,asked Ida, after a pause,"not to like those who like us?" |
| 10729 | Is it? |
| 10729 | Is my nurse a good woman? |
| 10729 | Is n''t it prime? |
| 10729 | Is that meant for me? |
| 10729 | Is that the man? |
| 10729 | Is that the way you dare to speak to me? 10729 Is there any injustice in requiring payment of honest debts?" |
| 10729 | Is there any tenement vacant in this neighborhood? |
| 10729 | Is this my own dear child, over whose infancy I watched so tenderly? |
| 10729 | It is good, is n''t it? |
| 10729 | It was taken from life? |
| 10729 | It''s pretty risky business, is n''t it? |
| 10729 | Jack? |
| 10729 | Like this? |
| 10729 | Look here, little gal,said Dick, in a moralizing vein,"is n''t this rayther undootiful conduct on your part? |
| 10729 | May I give it to my mother? |
| 10729 | May I go with you? |
| 10729 | Mrs. Harding,said Mrs, Clifton, her voice full of feeling,"how can I ever thank you for your kindness to my child?" |
| 10729 | Mrs. Hardwick-- her mother? |
| 10729 | My aunt? |
| 10729 | No; why should I? 10729 Not at your trade?" |
| 10729 | Not if I were that man? |
| 10729 | Not want me back again? |
| 10729 | Now tell me, how are all your family? |
| 10729 | Now, Rachel, what''s the use of anticipating evil? |
| 10729 | Now, mother,expostulated Jack,"you ai n''t going to side against me, are you?" |
| 10729 | Of Ida? |
| 10729 | Of what nature? |
| 10729 | Oh, why did you bring me here? |
| 10729 | Oh, yes, but wo n''t it be late before we get to the lady? |
| 10729 | Oh, yes; and you''ll tell her to take me back, wo n''t you? |
| 10729 | On credit? |
| 10729 | Only a yard? |
| 10729 | Peg? 10729 Perhaps the name of Ida will assist your recollection; or have you forgotten that name, too?" |
| 10729 | Sha n''t I get something for you to put on it, Rachel? |
| 10729 | Shall I ever see thee again? |
| 10729 | Shall I never see father, and mother, and Jack again? |
| 10729 | Shall I tell you the whole story, then? 10729 Shall you bring her back to- night?" |
| 10729 | She wants to see her, then? |
| 10729 | So he''s out of work? |
| 10729 | So you have learned to draw? |
| 10729 | So you have reason to think the child is in Philadelphia? |
| 10729 | So you were Ida''s nurse? |
| 10729 | So you were her nurse? |
| 10729 | So you''re going to Philadelphia? |
| 10729 | So you''ve been thinking of it, have you? |
| 10729 | So you''ve taken up preaching, have you? |
| 10729 | So, Rachel, you conclude that one or the other of these calamities is the inevitable lot of all who are engaged in this business? |
| 10729 | Such as what? |
| 10729 | Suppose I decline these terms? |
| 10729 | Suppose I should promise to deliver you from her, would you be willing to go with me? |
| 10729 | Suppose I tell him he''s in a madhouse? |
| 10729 | Suppose you did see such a child on the street, what has that to do with me? |
| 10729 | Surely,she said, with a sudden sinking of the heart,"you have not come to take her away?" |
| 10729 | Tell me, now, what are you going to do with the money I give you-- buy candy? |
| 10729 | The captain is about your age, is n''t he, Aunt Rachel? |
| 10729 | The letter you wrote them? |
| 10729 | The one that was interested in you? |
| 10729 | The rent? |
| 10729 | The wretches ca n''t mean to starve me, can they? |
| 10729 | Then have n''t you got a job for me? |
| 10729 | Then if it''s neither a gentleman, lady nor child,said Somerville,"will you have the goodness to inform me what sort of a being it is?" |
| 10729 | Then it''s all settled? |
| 10729 | Then she did n''t come back with the good money? |
| 10729 | Then she knows you do n''t want to live with her? |
| 10729 | Then what made you come here? |
| 10729 | Then what makes you eat them? |
| 10729 | Then where would the world be a hundred years hence? |
| 10729 | Then why need he pretend to be so friendly? 10729 Then why,"asked he, half in extenuation,"why do n''t you try to look pleasant and cheerful? |
| 10729 | Then you have read the letter? |
| 10729 | Then you think this Ida Hardwick may be your missing sister? |
| 10729 | Then you wo n''t go, ma''am? |
| 10729 | Then, at present, you are unemployed? |
| 10729 | There,she said,"do you see that?" |
| 10729 | This for me? |
| 10729 | This is a little better than being shut up in the closet, is n''t it? |
| 10729 | Timothy, will you come here a moment? |
| 10729 | True; but how can we be sure that the writer is Ida''s mother? |
| 10729 | Was that her name? |
| 10729 | Was there a little girl with her? |
| 10729 | We shall come back at night, sha n''t we? |
| 10729 | Well, Dick, how''ve you got along since I''ve been gone? |
| 10729 | Well, Jack? |
| 10729 | Well, Rachel, have you no congratulations to offer? |
| 10729 | Well, is there anything wrong in that? |
| 10729 | Well, my dear, what is it? |
| 10729 | Well, what are you going to do about it? |
| 10729 | Well, what do you say? |
| 10729 | Well, where are you going to get your dollar? |
| 10729 | Well, you are glad to get away from Peg? |
| 10729 | Well,said the nurse, grimly,"how do you feel now?" |
| 10729 | Well,said the old man, nodding,"have you thought over my proposal?" |
| 10729 | Well? |
| 10729 | What are you doing? 10729 What are you doing?" |
| 10729 | What assurance have we that you would keep your promise? |
| 10729 | What brought you two together? |
| 10729 | What cars? |
| 10729 | What could be more fortunate? |
| 10729 | What could she say of me? |
| 10729 | What could you do? |
| 10729 | What did Rachel say? |
| 10729 | What do you know about the child''s mother? |
| 10729 | What do you mean by such conduct? |
| 10729 | What do you mean, Rachel? |
| 10729 | What do you mean, Timothy? |
| 10729 | What do you refer to? |
| 10729 | What do you take me for? |
| 10729 | What do you think I have brought you, Ellen? |
| 10729 | What do you think of that house there? |
| 10729 | What do you think, Martha? |
| 10729 | What do you want me to do? |
| 10729 | What do you want, gentlemen? |
| 10729 | What do you want? |
| 10729 | What does she make you do? |
| 10729 | What for? |
| 10729 | What gentleman? |
| 10729 | What good do you think it will do,interposed Rachel,"to send a mere boy like Jack to Philadelphia?" |
| 10729 | What have you to do with me? |
| 10729 | What if I am? |
| 10729 | What if I should tell you it was a new dollar? |
| 10729 | What if it is? |
| 10729 | What if you did? |
| 10729 | What is a singular circumstance? |
| 10729 | What is it, then? |
| 10729 | What is it? |
| 10729 | What is it? |
| 10729 | What is singular? |
| 10729 | What is that? |
| 10729 | What is the matter with me? |
| 10729 | What is the matter? |
| 10729 | What is the prospect of getting work soon? |
| 10729 | What is your business? |
| 10729 | What is your business? |
| 10729 | What is your name, my child? |
| 10729 | What is your name, my young friend? |
| 10729 | What made you pretend to be a mad- doctor? |
| 10729 | What makes you ask? |
| 10729 | What name did she give you? |
| 10729 | What object could she have in inventing such a story? |
| 10729 | What object? 10729 What place is it? |
| 10729 | What reason have you for thinking you would be able to find her? |
| 10729 | What rent do you ask? |
| 10729 | What sacrifice? |
| 10729 | What should I have to do? |
| 10729 | What sort of bad money? |
| 10729 | What strange fortune,he thought,"can have brought them together? |
| 10729 | What street, and number? |
| 10729 | What time do you expect her home, mother? 10729 What will Timothy say?" |
| 10729 | What will be? |
| 10729 | What will the gentleman say? |
| 10729 | What''s a boy''s plan worth? |
| 10729 | What''s a dollar? |
| 10729 | What''s she been doing? |
| 10729 | What''s that? |
| 10729 | What''s the gal been doin'', hey? |
| 10729 | What''s the good of it? |
| 10729 | What''s the matter with him, Jack? |
| 10729 | What''s the use of provoking a fellow so, Aunt Rachel? |
| 10729 | What''s what, sir? |
| 10729 | What''s your father''s business? |
| 10729 | What, for instance? |
| 10729 | What, that ugly, disagreeable woman, Ida''s mother? 10729 What? |
| 10729 | What? 10729 What?" |
| 10729 | When are you going back, Ida? |
| 10729 | When did you do it, Ida? |
| 10729 | When do you anticipate its revival? |
| 10729 | When do you wish Ida to go with you? |
| 10729 | When shall I start? |
| 10729 | When were you married? |
| 10729 | Where am I? |
| 10729 | Where are we going? |
| 10729 | Where are we going? |
| 10729 | Where are we going? |
| 10729 | Where are you going in such a hurry? |
| 10729 | Where are you going, Aunt Rachel? |
| 10729 | Where are you staying-- at what hotel? |
| 10729 | Where did it come from? |
| 10729 | Where did you come from, and where have you been all this time? |
| 10729 | Where did you get acquainted with him? |
| 10729 | Where did you get the dollar? |
| 10729 | Where did you get this handsome dress, Ida? |
| 10729 | Where do you live yourself? |
| 10729 | Where have you been? |
| 10729 | Where in the name of wonder have you been, Jack? |
| 10729 | Where is Ida? |
| 10729 | Where is that letter you thought I wrote? 10729 Where is the woman that brought me here?" |
| 10729 | Where''s the sofy? |
| 10729 | Where? |
| 10729 | Who am I that I should condemn you? 10729 Who can he be?" |
| 10729 | Who can it be? |
| 10729 | Who could have had an interest in doing me this cruel wrong? |
| 10729 | Who gave you the money? |
| 10729 | Who is it? |
| 10729 | Who is it? |
| 10729 | Who is not your child? |
| 10729 | Who is that boy? |
| 10729 | Who is this? |
| 10729 | Who knows? |
| 10729 | Who of us has a good conscience? |
| 10729 | Who said anything about that? |
| 10729 | Who taught you? 10729 Who told you so?" |
| 10729 | Who told you that? |
| 10729 | Who took them papers? |
| 10729 | Who went and did it, then? |
| 10729 | Who were her parents? |
| 10729 | Who will trust me when I come out of here? |
| 10729 | Who''s been here? |
| 10729 | Who''s there? |
| 10729 | Who''s to prevent me? |
| 10729 | Who''s to prevent you? |
| 10729 | Who''s your letter from, Aunt Rachel? |
| 10729 | Whose is this? |
| 10729 | Why am I confined here? |
| 10729 | Why are you confined? 10729 Why could n''t she come herself?" |
| 10729 | Why did n''t you bring him up here to see me? |
| 10729 | Why did n''t you say so when I asked you? |
| 10729 | Why do you arrest me? |
| 10729 | Why do you want to know? |
| 10729 | Why is n''t it? |
| 10729 | Why not, Rachel? |
| 10729 | Why not? |
| 10729 | Why not? |
| 10729 | Why not? |
| 10729 | Why should I be? |
| 10729 | Why should n''t she stop, I''d like to know? 10729 Why should we?" |
| 10729 | Why singular, my good sir? |
| 10729 | Why, Ida, where did you come from? |
| 10729 | Why, Rachel, where have you been? |
| 10729 | Why, Rachel? |
| 10729 | Why, what''s the matter, Rachel? |
| 10729 | Why, where are we going? |
| 10729 | Why, where are you going? |
| 10729 | Why, wo n''t you give it to me? |
| 10729 | Why? |
| 10729 | Will it carry us through the winter? |
| 10729 | Will she go? |
| 10729 | Will you add to my indebtedness by accompanying me with that trusty club of yours? 10729 Will you allow us to remain here a few days till I can look about a little?" |
| 10729 | Will you let her come and see me sometimes? |
| 10729 | Will you let me go if I keep your secret? |
| 10729 | Will you supply me with some writing materials? |
| 10729 | Will you take me back early to- morrow? |
| 10729 | Will you tell your mistress that I want to see her, then? |
| 10729 | Will you? |
| 10729 | With Jack? |
| 10729 | Wo n''t Mr. Colman wait? |
| 10729 | Wo n''t you come in? |
| 10729 | Wo n''t you come yourself? |
| 10729 | Wo n''t you have another piece of pudding, Timothy? |
| 10729 | Wo n''t you have another piece, Rachel? |
| 10729 | Woman, how came this within your knowledge? |
| 10729 | Would n''t I, though? |
| 10729 | Would n''t you like to go in, and look at the house? |
| 10729 | Would she take me, my lad? |
| 10729 | Would you shoot me? |
| 10729 | Yes,said Jack, nodding;"what color were her eyes?" |
| 10729 | Yes; did n''t you ever ride in the cars? |
| 10729 | Yes; did n''t your mother tell you? |
| 10729 | Yes; why not? |
| 10729 | Yes; you knew her name, did n''t you? |
| 10729 | You ai n''t ashamed to tell, be you? |
| 10729 | You ai n''t going to stop, are you? |
| 10729 | You are married, I suppose? |
| 10729 | You believed it, did n''t you? |
| 10729 | You ca n''t guess what I came here for? |
| 10729 | You did? |
| 10729 | You do n''t mean to say that any such letter as that has been written? |
| 10729 | You have a young girl living with you, about seven or eight years old, have you not? |
| 10729 | You have not always lived with her, I am sure? |
| 10729 | You lived in New York with a family named Harding, did you not? |
| 10729 | You really think he would? |
| 10729 | You think so? |
| 10729 | You think you can sell them, Jack? |
| 10729 | You will? |
| 10729 | You wo n''t tell me where she is? |
| 10729 | You would n''t leave it out in the cold, would you, Rachel? 10729 You would n''t, hey? |
| 10729 | You''ve been sewing too steady lately, perhaps? |
| 10729 | You? |
| 10729 | Your sister? |
| 10729 | Ai n''t he goin''to turn us out of the house to- morrow?" |
| 10729 | Ai n''t she at home?" |
| 10729 | Ai n''t we in luck, Aunt Rachel?" |
| 10729 | Ai n''t we rich, Aunt Rachel?" |
| 10729 | And Where''s your gingerbread?" |
| 10729 | Answer me?" |
| 10729 | Are we going there now?" |
| 10729 | Are you Jack?" |
| 10729 | Are you coming to school to- morrow?" |
| 10729 | Are you going to do as I told you?" |
| 10729 | Are you the one I want to see?" |
| 10729 | Are you this lad''s mother?" |
| 10729 | At night, after Jack and his aunt had retired, he said, anxiously:"What do you think is the cause of Ida''s prolonged absence, Martha?" |
| 10729 | Bowling, how can you say such things?" |
| 10729 | Bowling?" |
| 10729 | But how long does Ida''s mother mean to keep her?" |
| 10729 | But that has n''t anything to do with your Ida, has it?" |
| 10729 | But what could a child want of me?" |
| 10729 | But what is your other name?" |
| 10729 | But, as I was about to say, that makes us connected in some way, does n''t it? |
| 10729 | CHAPTER V THE CAPTAIN''S DEPARTURE"Jack,"said the captain, at breakfast, the next morning,"how would you like to go round with me to see my vessel?" |
| 10729 | CHAPTER XX DOUBTS AND FEARS"Well, what kept you so long?" |
| 10729 | Can it be possible that such a young and beautiful child could be guilty of such an offense?" |
| 10729 | Can we move in to- day?" |
| 10729 | Can you cash my check for five hundred dollars?" |
| 10729 | Can you furnish any other proof that you are what you represent?" |
| 10729 | Can you give me any directions that will enable me to find her?" |
| 10729 | Can you go to the house?" |
| 10729 | Can you guess, now?" |
| 10729 | Clifton?" |
| 10729 | Could I see her?" |
| 10729 | Could it be that the secret of Ida''s birth was to be revealed at last? |
| 10729 | Did n''t I ever mention Mrs. Hardwick to you?" |
| 10729 | Did you come here to tell me that?" |
| 10729 | Did you never hear how he treated the Underhills?" |
| 10729 | Did your mother make you work?" |
| 10729 | Do n''t you know him?" |
| 10729 | Do n''t you see how it is?" |
| 10729 | Do you comprehend my idea?" |
| 10729 | Do you know any good boarding place, where they''d make me feel at home, and let me smoke a pipe after dinner?" |
| 10729 | Do you know there is a reward of a thousand dollars offered for their apprehension?" |
| 10729 | Do you love her well enough to make a sacrifice for the sake of recovering her?" |
| 10729 | Do you think a lady like me would marry a colored man?" |
| 10729 | Do you think you can stand still for half an hour without too much fatigue?" |
| 10729 | Do you think you would like to try it?" |
| 10729 | Do you understand?" |
| 10729 | Does Ida''s mother live in the city?" |
| 10729 | Does n''t it speak of me as the nurse?" |
| 10729 | Does your mother need the money?" |
| 10729 | Hain''t you never seen a gentleman before?" |
| 10729 | Hardwick?" |
| 10729 | Hardwick?" |
| 10729 | Hardwick?" |
| 10729 | Hardwick?" |
| 10729 | Has it not been received?" |
| 10729 | Have you anything more to say before I whip you?" |
| 10729 | Have you found your business profitable?" |
| 10729 | Have you got it with you?" |
| 10729 | He''s only sixteen years old; is n''t he a smart boy?" |
| 10729 | How can such as you understand the temptations of the poor? |
| 10729 | How can you do that when she is in New York?" |
| 10729 | How could you lend yourself to it?" |
| 10729 | How do I know you will come again?" |
| 10729 | How do you know but your father and mother sent you off on purpose? |
| 10729 | How have you fared since I employed you? |
| 10729 | How''s the little girl, Martha?" |
| 10729 | How''s your excellent sister-- as cheerful as ever?" |
| 10729 | How''s your father and mother and your adopted sister?" |
| 10729 | I suppose Ida has got home?" |
| 10729 | I suppose you can copy her face here as well as anywhere?" |
| 10729 | I suppose you have not forgotten that?" |
| 10729 | I will come to business at once, as I am particularly engaged this morning, and ask you if there is any way in which I can serve you?" |
| 10729 | I wonder what Aunt Rachel will have to say to that? |
| 10729 | I wonder what father would say if he knew that I had managed to get locked up like this? |
| 10729 | Ida heard her indistinctly, and asked, timidly:"Did you speak, Aunt Peg?" |
| 10729 | Ida, who had been looking out of the window, turned suddenly round, and exclaimed, in great astonishment:"Why, Charlie Fitts, is that you?" |
| 10729 | If I succeed, may I claim my reward?" |
| 10729 | If you think you can love me, will you meet me in Washington Park, next Tuesday, at four o''clock? |
| 10729 | Is he likely to make a fuss?" |
| 10729 | Is it Brooklyn?" |
| 10729 | Is n''t that good?" |
| 10729 | Is n''t that something unusual?" |
| 10729 | Is that the gal?" |
| 10729 | Is that the way my own nephew talks to me?" |
| 10729 | JACK''S WARD CHAPTER I JACK HARDING GETS A JOB"Look here, boy, can you hold my horse a few minutes?" |
| 10729 | Jack, if it wo n''t be too much trouble, will you bring them in?" |
| 10729 | Martha, how can you allow such things?" |
| 10729 | May I ask, Mrs. Hardwick, if you have any further proof? |
| 10729 | Not the woman you live with?" |
| 10729 | Now what do you say?" |
| 10729 | Of course you knew it was there she was going?" |
| 10729 | She hoped that it was a mere chance coincidence, but he approached her, and raising his hat respectfully, said:"Are you Miss Harding?" |
| 10729 | So he''s a schoolmate of Jack?" |
| 10729 | So you''ve come after Ida, I hear?" |
| 10729 | Sometimes the little girl asked:"Mother, why do n''t you buy yourself some of the pretty things you get for me?" |
| 10729 | Suppose I join you, shall I get good pay?" |
| 10729 | Tell her that, will you?" |
| 10729 | Then, with a thousand dollars, what might not be done? |
| 10729 | Was it nature that prompted her to return the lady''s embrace? |
| 10729 | Was it possible that she had made a mistake, and that this was not her unknown correspondent, Daniel? |
| 10729 | Was it possible that she was to be taken from her? |
| 10729 | Well, now, do you know what I would do if you should tell anybody where you came from, or attempt to run away? |
| 10729 | Well, what do you say to that? |
| 10729 | What did Mrs. Hardwick say?" |
| 10729 | What did you see?" |
| 10729 | What did your father and mother say to the letter I wrote them?" |
| 10729 | What do you mean?" |
| 10729 | What hurt will it do?" |
| 10729 | What makes you ask that?" |
| 10729 | What object can she have in getting possession of the child?" |
| 10729 | What object could he have?" |
| 10729 | What shall I do?" |
| 10729 | What steps should he take to find her? |
| 10729 | What style would you prefer?" |
| 10729 | What were they worth?" |
| 10729 | What''s the use of stuffin''the girl''s head full of nonsense that''ll never do her no good? |
| 10729 | When do you want me to begin?" |
| 10729 | When they told me of this, I said to myself,''Can it be that this little girl knew what she was about when she offered me that?'' |
| 10729 | When was it written?" |
| 10729 | Where is that secret staircase?" |
| 10729 | Where''s Jack?" |
| 10729 | Who knows but we may hear from Jack before that time?" |
| 10729 | Who was that with her?" |
| 10729 | Who''d ever think the portrait concealed it?" |
| 10729 | Who''d think it was only twenty- four hours?" |
| 10729 | Why does this woman, Peg, lock you in whenever she goes away?" |
| 10729 | Why might not Dick and she retire to the country, lease a country inn, and live an honest life hereafter? |
| 10729 | Why should n''t they take the stranger to board? |
| 10729 | Why was it that he had alluded to this subject? |
| 10729 | Why wo n''t you be jolly, as Tom Piper''s aunt is?" |
| 10729 | Why wo n''t you draw Aunt Rachel, Ida? |
| 10729 | Why, you''re''most as big as your father, ai n''t you?" |
| 10729 | Will you answer me a question?" |
| 10729 | Will you call at my office to- morrow, say at twelve o''clock?" |
| 10729 | Will you call her, or shall I go and announce myself?" |
| 10729 | Will you go over and look at the house?" |
| 10729 | Will you help me, uncle?" |
| 10729 | Will you let me have the fifty cents, mother?" |
| 10729 | Will you promise to bring me a good one to- morrow?" |
| 10729 | Wo n''t she betray us?" |
| 10729 | Would anybody else write like that?" |
| 10729 | Would you have any objection to coming home with me, and telling me the rest? |
| 10729 | You ai n''t the city government, are you?" |
| 10729 | You can walk as far as that, ca n''t you?" |
| 10729 | You do n''t like it so well as the house you live in in New York?" |
| 10729 | You do n''t mean to say you want to confine me here two or three months?" |
| 10729 | You got it, did n''t you?" |
| 10729 | asked Ida, curiously;"are you glad she is wicked?" |
| 10729 | asked Ida;"and how is it you have so many of them?" |
| 10729 | ejaculated our hero, terror- stricken,"you do n''t mean to say you think I''m crazy?" |
| 10729 | have you seen her?" |
| 10729 | is all this for me?" |
| 10729 | said Mrs. Harding,"and about your own nephew, too?" |
| 10729 | said he, startled,"what''s that?" |
| 10729 | she exclaimed;"have you come for me?" |
| 10729 | thought Jack, in consternation, as the real state of the case flashed upon him,"is it possible that I am locked in?" |
| 10729 | why could I not have known it before? |
| 32942 | ''And without receipt for them or other evidence?'' 32942 Ah, dear mother, why will you hurt me so?" |
| 32942 | Ah, do you say such things to René? |
| 32942 | Ah, dost thou really think so? |
| 32942 | Ah, what have I done? |
| 32942 | Ah, why did you not prevent this duel? |
| 32942 | Alive? 32942 All of it, mother?" |
| 32942 | And Pearl? |
| 32942 | And can you, his friend, say that? 32942 And have I not trusted thee?" |
| 32942 | And he has spoken to no one but you of this tragedy? 32942 And he?" |
| 32942 | And his mother? |
| 32942 | And if I refuse? |
| 32942 | And is that all? |
| 32942 | And may I come, too? |
| 32942 | And my mother, will she like it? |
| 32942 | And now what is all that damned parley- vouing? 32942 And now,"said the captain,"what to do? |
| 32942 | And of what party are you, Miss Margaret? |
| 32942 | And she beat them off? |
| 32942 | And she thought to do that? |
| 32942 | And she won? |
| 32942 | And that red thing? 32942 And thou wilt not tell me?" |
| 32942 | And what are they? |
| 32942 | And what did you say? |
| 32942 | And what do you know about it? |
| 32942 | And what is it? |
| 32942 | And what will Mary Swanwick do with this money won in evil ways? |
| 32942 | And what, sir, of the treaty with England? |
| 32942 | And who succeeds Hamilton, sir? |
| 32942 | And who will stop me? |
| 32942 | And who, may I ask,said Mrs. Swanwick,"is to follow thee, Friend Jefferson?" |
| 32942 | And who,said Girard,"have excelled the poets in malignancy? |
| 32942 | And why not? 32942 And why was it? |
| 32942 | And with the Jacobins? |
| 32942 | And you are not jesting? |
| 32942 | And you? 32942 Any fresh news?" |
| 32942 | Any news from France? |
| 32942 | Any news? |
| 32942 | Anything? 32942 Are the doctors all of your way of thinking?" |
| 32942 | Are these people crazy? |
| 32942 | Are they all mine, Mother? |
| 32942 | Are they ever ill, I wonder? |
| 32942 | Are we not? 32942 Are you all right?" |
| 32942 | Are you here for a long stay? |
| 32942 | Are you hit, man? |
| 32942 | Are you hurt? |
| 32942 | Are you ill, René? |
| 32942 | Are you not hasty? |
| 32942 | Are you ready,_ maman?_ Shall we go down? |
| 32942 | Are you ready,_ maman?_ Shall we go down? |
| 32942 | Are you sure that is thy mother''s wisdom, Margaret? |
| 32942 | Art thou ill? |
| 32942 | Art thou sure? 32942 Bless me, am I the hardship?" |
| 32942 | But did he believe you? 32942 But how did you come so far, my poor child?" |
| 32942 | But if I ask thee? |
| 32942 | But if so, what value will his evidence have? 32942 But if, Mr. Schmidt, this shadow did not lie across his path, would it please you? |
| 32942 | But the cargo? |
| 32942 | But the women? |
| 32942 | But there is no war? |
| 32942 | But what is it? |
| 32942 | But what would Friends say to the way the fine milliner, Nature, has decked thee, Mademoiselle? 32942 But why is money such a wonder thing that only some saleable article shall count against it? |
| 32942 | But why? 32942 But,"she said, of course in French,"what have these people to do with arms?" |
| 32942 | Can you come at eight thirty, sweep out the office, make the fires at need in winter, with an hour off, at noon, and work till six? 32942 Can you hit that, René?" |
| 32942 | Can you serve under a plain man like my head clerk, run errands, obey without question-- in a word, accept a master? |
| 32942 | Can you walk? |
| 32942 | Can you, indeed? 32942 Carteaux? |
| 32942 | Certainly; and might I be noticed a little? |
| 32942 | Certainly; and why not? |
| 32942 | Certainly; but why Josiah, and what mischief are you two after? |
| 32942 | Come, canst thou catch me? |
| 32942 | Come? 32942 De Courval, may I not help you, to whom I owe a debt which can never be paid?" |
| 32942 | Did I say so? 32942 Did I speak of-- did I use my own name, my title? |
| 32942 | Did ever one hear the like? |
| 32942 | Did he not? 32942 Did he say this-- that she bought a ticket?" |
| 32942 | Did he talk to you? |
| 32942 | Did they think to show off an awkward Quaker cousin, these thoughtless kittens? 32942 Did you ask Mr. Randolph to apologize, René?" |
| 32942 | Did you get a receipt? |
| 32942 | Did you get the acknowledgment of receipt you wanted? |
| 32942 | Did you shoot this man? |
| 32942 | Did you, indeed? |
| 32942 | Do they practise with the pistol here? |
| 32942 | Do you bleed the Quakers, too? |
| 32942 | Do you credit it? |
| 32942 | Do you not think, sir, as a man of sense and a gentleman and more, that it may be well to leave a high- minded woman to dispose of this matter? 32942 Do you sing that to the lady who is written in your heart?" |
| 32942 | Do you think every good man like me? 32942 Do? |
| 32942 | Does he suffer? 32942 Does she know his name?" |
| 32942 | Does you remember this, missus? |
| 32942 | Go down? 32942 Have I?" |
| 32942 | Have they as much blood as other people? 32942 Have you a doctor?" |
| 32942 | Have you any message for Miss Margaret, René? |
| 32942 | Have you told Mrs. Swanwick, sir? |
| 32942 | Have you told your mother, René? 32942 How can I answer thee? |
| 32942 | How could I help it, thinking of you, mother? 32942 How could I know his errand?" |
| 32942 | How did it all happen? 32942 How does thee hold it, Friend Schmidt? |
| 32942 | How is De Courval? |
| 32942 | How is that, Tacy Lennox? |
| 32942 | How long should I be absent? |
| 32942 | How may I promise for the lady? |
| 32942 | How much? 32942 How much?" |
| 32942 | I beg pardon,he said--"Monsieur Schmidt?" |
| 32942 | I do not know, and what matters it? 32942 I have left you lettuce and some fruit,"said Miss Wynne,"and may I be pardoned for taking the place of Cicero?" |
| 32942 | I have not said so, but subordinates are sometimes too zealous and--"And what, sir? |
| 32942 | I will hear thee, but--"Oh, you will hear me? 32942 I, dear? |
| 32942 | I? 32942 I? |
| 32942 | I? 32942 I? |
| 32942 | I? |
| 32942 | If I am thou for thee, were it not courteous to speak to thee in thy own tongue? |
| 32942 | If you are here? |
| 32942 | Indeed? 32942 Indeed? |
| 32942 | Is he gone? |
| 32942 | Is he not a little like you? |
| 32942 | Is it for very long? |
| 32942 | Is it so hard, dear Pearl? 32942 Is monsieur for our side?" |
| 32942 | Is my baby dead, too? |
| 32942 | Is n''t she? |
| 32942 | Is that all? 32942 Is that all? |
| 32942 | Is that all? |
| 32942 | Is that required? |
| 32942 | Is that the last invention? |
| 32942 | Is the librarian within? |
| 32942 | Is there any precaution to take? |
| 32942 | Is there anything to do but take our chance on the sea? |
| 32942 | Is there danger, my son? |
| 32942 | Is there more, my son? |
| 32942 | Is this my mother? |
| 32942 | Luckily for me you are not well; but will you swear to this, to a written statement? |
| 32942 | Mad? 32942 May I be allowed a moment of thy time, James Logan?" |
| 32942 | May I come in? |
| 32942 | May I not go, Friend Schmidt? 32942 May I tell him in my way, René?" |
| 32942 | May I trouble you for a receipt? |
| 32942 | More? 32942 My dear Margaret,"cried René, laughing,"the jewels all went in England, and except a son of small value, what can my mother give you?" |
| 32942 | My dear,she said at last,"why didst thou let them dress thee?" |
| 32942 | My mother is well? |
| 32942 | My son? |
| 32942 | Neat, that, Margaret,said Hamilton;"and might I, too, have a peach? |
| 32942 | No, not quite; who could? 32942 No? |
| 32942 | No? 32942 Not ready yet?" |
| 32942 | Not-- not even to me? |
| 32942 | Nothing would please him better; but-- they have long since given up Josiah for a lost sheep--"Black, mother? |
| 32942 | Of what? |
| 32942 | Oh, I am paid, am I? 32942 Oh, René,"she cried,"what have I done?" |
| 32942 | Oh, but how could I help seeing? |
| 32942 | Oh, but when you die, sir,cried Mrs. Howard,"and you want to read your title clear to mansions in the skies?" |
| 32942 | Oh, dear Aunt Gainor,cried a voice from an upper window,"what is the joke? |
| 32942 | Oh, he is going home? |
| 32942 | Oh, was I? |
| 32942 | Oh, why dost thou go? 32942 Oh, will he, indeed?" |
| 32942 | Oh,_ le diable!_ and who then will heal these which go to stick one the other? 32942 One moment, Mr. Secretary-- would that be proof?" |
| 32942 | Only a word of thanks, and may I ask why you are so good to us? 32942 René, do you really mean to disobey me?" |
| 32942 | René, what dost thou mean? 32942 Schmidt, my son? |
| 32942 | Sell it? 32942 Shall we have another game?" |
| 32942 | She did not seem displeased? |
| 32942 | She has sailed, the_ Jean Bart?_"Yes, sir. |
| 32942 | That I should be afraid for a man of my blood to risk life where duty calls him? |
| 32942 | That is all true; but what can I do, sir? 32942 Then Randolph asked quietly:''Did he see it, sir?'' |
| 32942 | Then did I speak of a woman? |
| 32942 | Then he is alive,said René;"and will he live?" |
| 32942 | Then it was not highwaymen? |
| 32942 | Then may my mother sit down while I inquire without? |
| 32942 | Then they are lost? |
| 32942 | Then, Madame,she said, with rising color and engaging frankness,"may I not have the honor to offer thee the lace?" |
| 32942 | There are saints for the virtues, why not devils for men''s follies? 32942 Thou wilt tell me?" |
| 32942 | Told him what? |
| 32942 | Uncle Josiah? 32942 Was he really going? |
| 32942 | Was it here? |
| 32942 | Well, René,said Schmidt, behind him,"which are to be preferred, those underneath or those above ground?" |
| 32942 | Well, and what is it I am to give? |
| 32942 | Well, and what now? |
| 32942 | Well, and why, my son, should you risk your life for a man of whom you know nothing? 32942 Well, mother, what is it? |
| 32942 | Well, what else? |
| 32942 | Well, what is it? |
| 32942 | Well, what then? |
| 32942 | Well,she said coldly,"what else?" |
| 32942 | Were there many at thy cousin''s burial? |
| 32942 | Were you sorry? |
| 32942 | Were you very sorry, Mary Swanwick? |
| 32942 | Wert thou in jail, sir? |
| 32942 | What amuses you? |
| 32942 | What are titles here, or in France, to- day? 32942 What are you doing here, Nanny?" |
| 32942 | What difference did that make? |
| 32942 | What do you purpose to do? 32942 What does it all mean?" |
| 32942 | What dost thou mean? |
| 32942 | What flag is that? |
| 32942 | What have I said? |
| 32942 | What if we run over to Martinique? 32942 What is all this noise, young women? |
| 32942 | What is all this,she asked,"I hear about Friend de Courval? |
| 32942 | What is it, Madame? |
| 32942 | What is it, my son? 32942 What is it, sir?" |
| 32942 | What is it? 32942 What is it?" |
| 32942 | What is it? |
| 32942 | What is it? |
| 32942 | What is it? |
| 32942 | What is that-- freaked with jet? |
| 32942 | What is that? |
| 32942 | What is the matter, Captain? 32942 What is the matter?" |
| 32942 | What is the matter? |
| 32942 | What is this that Edmund Randolph has done? |
| 32942 | What is wrong with you, René? 32942 What is wrong?" |
| 32942 | What makes you so cross, Doctor, and to what do I owe the honor of a visit? |
| 32942 | What manner of man was this Rabelais? 32942 What means this, madame? |
| 32942 | What new mischief are she and the ex- Quaker Josiah devising? |
| 32942 | What shall we do? |
| 32942 | What think you, René? 32942 What was he like?" |
| 32942 | What, dear, did she say? |
| 32942 | What, leave you? 32942 What, truly? |
| 32942 | Where on earth did she learn it all? |
| 32942 | Who are you for? 32942 Who commands here for the republic?" |
| 32942 | Who was it? 32942 Who will believe me? |
| 32942 | Who would not be? 32942 Who, then?" |
| 32942 | Why are you smiling, Aunt? |
| 32942 | Why did not the vicomte write? |
| 32942 | Why did you leave us alone to- night? 32942 Why did you not stop? |
| 32942 | Why dost thou not ask him? |
| 32942 | Why not my neighbor De Courval? |
| 32942 | Why not remove the church, too? |
| 32942 | Why not see Mr. Langstroth about it? |
| 32942 | Why not? 32942 Why not?" |
| 32942 | Why not? |
| 32942 | Why not? |
| 32942 | Why not? |
| 32942 | Why should I not? |
| 32942 | Why the devil did you send De Courval after Carteaux this morning? |
| 32942 | Why, Colonel Pickering, did he say nothing of moment? 32942 Why, Marquis, do you permit these cattle to come here?" |
| 32942 | Why, René? 32942 Why, dear, is the room so dark?" |
| 32942 | Why? |
| 32942 | Will Friend de Courval go with us? |
| 32942 | Will he, indeed? |
| 32942 | Will she tell? |
| 32942 | Will thee help me? |
| 32942 | Will there be a fight? |
| 32942 | Will thy mother take this or that? 32942 Will you go out with me now, Margaret?" |
| 32942 | Wilt thou see her? |
| 32942 | Wise man, Mr. Carteaux; but what on earth have I to do with that Jacobin? |
| 32942 | Worry? |
| 32942 | Would I not? 32942 Would you take it of me?" |
| 32942 | Yes, of course; but what is your way? |
| 32942 | Yes, yes,said Mistress Wynne;"who shall we have? |
| 32942 | Yes, you were right; but what next? 32942 Yes; and what more?" |
| 32942 | Yes; was it not? 32942 You are French?" |
| 32942 | You ask''Why not?'' 32942 You heard my name, my title?" |
| 32942 | You know Mrs. Byrd, Mr. Schmidt? 32942 You will excuse me to the Secretary?" |
| 32942 | Your mother and I have talked, and what use is it? 32942 Your name, sir?" |
| 32942 | _ Lieber Himmel!_cried the German,"have you killed him?" |
| 32942 | _ Mon Dieu!_ I? 32942 _ Mon Dieu!_""May I ask your name, monsieur?" |
| 32942 | _ Mon Dieu!_murmured De Courval,"shall I get used to it?" |
| 32942 | A duel? |
| 32942 | A tisane, yes, if only she had a tisane, but who would know how to make one? |
| 32942 | Ah, do you smoke? |
| 32942 | Ah, so?" |
| 32942 | Ah, where now were the plain manners of democracy and the scorn of titles? |
| 32942 | Am I to presume that you consider me a party to the matter?" |
| 32942 | And De Courval? |
| 32942 | And I did say so?" |
| 32942 | And disgraced? |
| 32942 | And he:''Do you not wish you, too, were going? |
| 32942 | And how can I thank you?" |
| 32942 | And is it for long?" |
| 32942 | And is that his real name, René? |
| 32942 | And is this all? |
| 32942 | And lace-- what is it?" |
| 32942 | And madame is well, I trust?" |
| 32942 | And now may I ask how I may find the French minister? |
| 32942 | And now will you not go to bed, so as to be strong for to- morrow?" |
| 32942 | And one word more,_ maman_--""Well, my son?" |
| 32942 | And so he did really like them and their quiet home? |
| 32942 | And then,"What land is that?" |
| 32942 | And these women, with their cares, their brave self- denial of all help, how could he ever repay this unlooked- for kindness? |
| 32942 | And to himself:"Is it well for these children? |
| 32942 | And what now to do?" |
| 32942 | And where is the vicomte? |
| 32942 | And who is the happy man?" |
| 32942 | And your mother, René, will she like it?" |
| 32942 | Are there any ships come in? |
| 32942 | Are they all mad?" |
| 32942 | Are you afraid?" |
| 32942 | Are you of a mind to walk and see a little of the city? |
| 32942 | Are you proud of it?" |
| 32942 | Are you satisfied?" |
| 32942 | Are you willing to help us? |
| 32942 | At once he set her down, saying,"Am I forgiven?" |
| 32942 | Being of the religion, he had said to Schmidt in a quiet, natural way that their coming together was providential, and the German had said:"Why not? |
| 32942 | But can they make an omelet? |
| 32942 | But for a little who could resist so comic an opportunity? |
| 32942 | But the king-- has he no courage? |
| 32942 | But what for?" |
| 32942 | But why did I leave them on the ice? |
| 32942 | But-- scold thee? |
| 32942 | Ca n''t you wait a while?" |
| 32942 | Can I further serve you?" |
| 32942 | Can I help you?" |
| 32942 | Can I not be set aboard of her at once?" |
| 32942 | Can it be real? |
| 32942 | Can not you stop him? |
| 32942 | Can you hold your tongue, if to hold it means money? |
| 32942 | Can you let me leave in this way without a word? |
| 32942 | Can you walk up from the shore, or shall I send you a chaise?" |
| 32942 | Carteaux turned at the call, and, puzzled for a moment, said:"What is it?" |
| 32942 | Christ help me; what is it I have said? |
| 32942 | De Courval colored, and, hesitating, asked,"How much am I in your debt?" |
| 32942 | De Courval did not know, and Aunt Gainor asked,"What is that, Margaret?" |
| 32942 | De Courval, failing to answer a question, he said:"What troubles thee, young man? |
| 32942 | Did I tell thee of Daniel Offley? |
| 32942 | Did ever you see a great actress?" |
| 32942 | Did he feel for these dying and the dead? |
| 32942 | Did she like it, the strong arms about her, the head on his shoulder, the heart throbbing as never before? |
| 32942 | Did you carry her, René?" |
| 32942 | Did you destroy his despatches?" |
| 32942 | Did you gather them?" |
| 32942 | Did you get a receipt for the despatch?" |
| 32942 | Did you hear?" |
| 32942 | Did your people want you to marry Jean de Courval, my father?" |
| 32942 | Do I ever scold thee? |
| 32942 | Do not you see,_ maman?_""He will think you afraid if you stay?" |
| 32942 | Do not you see,_ maman?_""He will think you afraid if you stay?" |
| 32942 | Do they fancy me a fool? |
| 32942 | Do you expect any reasonable man to believe such a story?" |
| 32942 | Do you know,"he added,"who this man Schmidt may be?" |
| 32942 | Do you love me, Pearl?" |
| 32942 | Do you mean to shoot him as one would a mad dog?" |
| 32942 | Do you understand? |
| 32942 | Does Madame, thy mother, think to leave us? |
| 32942 | Does he think Hamilton his equal? |
| 32942 | Does he?" |
| 32942 | Does it look easy, Mr. de Forest?" |
| 32942 | Does it shock you? |
| 32942 | Does she know?" |
| 32942 | Dost thou like my story, Friend de Courval?" |
| 32942 | Dost thou remember how the blessed waters washed away thy care? |
| 32942 | For mischief she must call Mr. Jefferson"Excellency,"for had he not been governor of his State? |
| 32942 | Give you my men, and sit down and wait for you? |
| 32942 | Good- by"; and to Hamilton:"You have heard, no doubt, the good news from France-- Citizen?" |
| 32942 | Good- by, Mr. Schmidt; and Vicomte, may I ask to be remembered to your mother? |
| 32942 | Had René not heard of the widow''s cruse? |
| 32942 | Had he just come over the seas, as the landlord had reported? |
| 32942 | Had not Jay kissed the hand of the queen? |
| 32942 | Hast thou-- of course thou hast seen thy mother?" |
| 32942 | Have I not the pleasure to see the Vicomte de Courval?" |
| 32942 | Have you any present want?" |
| 32942 | Have you been at the State Department or seen any one?" |
| 32942 | Have you heard of the charges against you made by Mr. Fauchet for his secretary, Carteaux?" |
| 32942 | Have you heard that we are to have a new French minister in April?" |
| 32942 | Have you no sense of honor that you must talk as you have done?" |
| 32942 | Have you seen the caricature of the aristocrat Washington on the guillotine? |
| 32942 | Have you seen the new paper, the''Aurora''? |
| 32942 | He called out,"Do you mean to murder me?" |
| 32942 | He had listened to the talk in the book, and wherefore not to them? |
| 32942 | He said to Girard:"Ah, Monsieur, have you seen Monsieur Schmidt?" |
| 32942 | He said,"Herr Schmidt, can a man conceive of God as having enjoyment?" |
| 32942 | He said,''Who are you?'' |
| 32942 | He says here nothing of its being only a personal quarrel; and why did he wait? |
| 32942 | He was not assured that Carteaux''s story was correct; but what else could he do? |
| 32942 | He was startled as she returned quickly, without looking up from her work:"How dost thou know what I think? |
| 32942 | Hearing the name of the gentleman who thus replied, the young vicomte said:"May I ask, sir, if you are Mr. Hugh Wynne?" |
| 32942 | How came he here, this man?" |
| 32942 | How can I ask you to marry a man in my position?" |
| 32942 | How can I, an inexperienced girl, know how to regard it? |
| 32942 | How can any one, man or woman, kiss thee with that thing on thy head? |
| 32942 | How could one understand that? |
| 32942 | How is that, René?" |
| 32942 | How long do you give us?" |
| 32942 | How long would it take?" |
| 32942 | How much money is owing you?" |
| 32942 | How much?" |
| 32942 | I ask of you that?" |
| 32942 | I asked:''How can I send letters to France?'' |
| 32942 | I have known you,"--and he laughed,--"shall we say five years? |
| 32942 | I hope, Citizen, to live to see the end of the titles they love, even Mr.; for who is the master of a freeman?" |
| 32942 | I may have my way in the matter of dress, I suppose?" |
| 32942 | I mean the weapons; but who can be sure of that? |
| 32942 | I said so--""But are we not friends?" |
| 32942 | I saw his treachery; but who will believe me? |
| 32942 | I shall be glad to leave--""When do you go, Commissioner?" |
| 32942 | I shall do so; but you-- can not you also do the same? |
| 32942 | I should like to have his conscience for a week or two, to see how it feels; and, as for non- resistance, canst thou keep a secret?" |
| 32942 | I take it and gladly, but"--and once more he colored, as he said with a certain shyness--"would you mind calling me René? |
| 32942 | I was afraid--""Of what?" |
| 32942 | I? |
| 32942 | If Randolph, after my long service, does not believe me, who will?" |
| 32942 | If all women were alike fair as you, there would be wild times, for who would know to choose? |
| 32942 | If he were within reach do you think I would talk as I do?" |
| 32942 | If she goes wrong, will it not then be time to interfere? |
| 32942 | If she said no, he must stay; but would she? |
| 32942 | If the owner of the prize in their lottery would not take it, to whom did it belong? |
| 32942 | If you wait to dress, I shall have to explain it all, and the Governor will say you lack courage; and must I say I left you in tears? |
| 32942 | Is any one ill?" |
| 32942 | Is he dead-- Carteaux?" |
| 32942 | Is he dead?" |
| 32942 | Is it the girl? |
| 32942 | Is not love and reverence and hearts that thank thee-- oh, are not these enough? |
| 32942 | Is not love as surely good?" |
| 32942 | Is not that so?" |
| 32942 | Is she very ill? |
| 32942 | Is that all, René?" |
| 32942 | Is that our boat?" |
| 32942 | Is thee afeared?" |
| 32942 | Is there any news?" |
| 32942 | Is there not a god of laughter to whom I may pray? |
| 32942 | Is there not enough of gladness in the upspring of things that men must crave the flattery of drink?" |
| 32942 | It is not, but-- were it not as well that two Christian gentlewomen should accept the inevitable without reserve and not make their children unhappy?" |
| 32942 | It was clear from what I saw, and who could sit quiet and give it up? |
| 32942 | May I ask about your mother? |
| 32942 | May I ask where we could go to find some one to direct us?" |
| 32942 | May I be allowed to ask you certain questions?" |
| 32942 | May I go with madame?" |
| 32942 | May I look at it? |
| 32942 | May I not go?" |
| 32942 | May I tell them at the governor''s?" |
| 32942 | Mischief, sir?" |
| 32942 | Molly Greenleaf, what have you done with them? |
| 32942 | Moreover, had he not told her once that her French was wonderful? |
| 32942 | Must I sit down and wait?" |
| 32942 | My Uncle Josiah has been to tell me and I could make nothing of it?" |
| 32942 | No doubt she was really tired, but what if it were something worse? |
| 32942 | No? |
| 32942 | Not you?" |
| 32942 | Oh, Molly Greenleaf, how can I? |
| 32942 | Oh, mother, do you not see it? |
| 32942 | Oh, why--""Did you call, mother?" |
| 32942 | Or has the thought of your church the clipped wings of an eagle that must ever stumble on the earth and yearn for the free flight of the heavens? |
| 32942 | Or that man? |
| 32942 | Randolph?" |
| 32942 | Randolph?" |
| 32942 | Run in, I suppose?" |
| 32942 | Schmidt?" |
| 32942 | Schmidt?" |
| 32942 | Seeing him cloaked and booted to ride, she said:"Wilt thou not stay to dine? |
| 32942 | Shall we be of two worlds? |
| 32942 | Shall you go to see your mother on Sunday? |
| 32942 | She had heard him call her Pearl unreproved, or had she not? |
| 32942 | She said,"Will it end here?" |
| 32942 | She would do it; but, then, who knows what might chance? |
| 32942 | Should he tell her? |
| 32942 | So this is what these minxes have been at all the morning?" |
| 32942 | Stop-- do you hear me?" |
| 32942 | Suppose it had gone the other way, would you contented bide?" |
| 32942 | Suppose you succeed? |
| 32942 | Swanwick?" |
| 32942 | That is thy Bible, is it not?" |
| 32942 | That is your opinion?" |
| 32942 | The German looked around at him thoughtfully and said:"Is that indeed so? |
| 32942 | The Princeton College lottery was drawn this morning, and guess who drew a prize?" |
| 32942 | The captain enjoyed it, as men who gamble on sea chances enjoy their risks, and said, laughing,"I wonder does that man know the coast? |
| 32942 | The captain reddened angrily as he said,"And I am to obey a boy like you?" |
| 32942 | The tone was so insolent that Randolph said sharply:"You are not surprised? |
| 32942 | Then I cried after him:''Are you for France?'' |
| 32942 | Then René gave up the game of skip- stone, and, turning, said,"_ Mon Dieu_, you did not listen?" |
| 32942 | Then at last, sitting down, he said:"René, what do you mean to do?" |
| 32942 | Then she declared the claret good, and what did it cost? |
| 32942 | Then, not looking up, she added, after a pause, the hands he watched still busy:"Why didst thou not bring me any goldenrod last evening? |
| 32942 | Then, seeing that De Courval lingered, he added,"Is there anything else?" |
| 32942 | There are, of course, the ordinary ways-- a quarrel, a duel--""Yes, yes; anything-- something--""Anything-- something, yes; but what thing? |
| 32942 | There was a heavy footfall in the hall and a clear, resonant voice,"Mary Swanwick, where are you?" |
| 32942 | They paid her fair compliments, and she smiled, saying:"I, dear Mrs. Penn-- was I here? |
| 32942 | Too disturbed to notice anything but this startling information in regard to his enemy, De Courval said:"Who told you that? |
| 32942 | Understanding the reluctance his silence expressed, she said,"You will, René?" |
| 32942 | Usually she was more frank with him than with any one else, and why now, she thought, should she not question him? |
| 32942 | Very comic it was to the young bucks, and,"Pray, Mrs. Byrd, did the garters fit?" |
| 32942 | Was Randolph guilty?" |
| 32942 | Was it a_ mésalliance?_""They said so." |
| 32942 | Was it only insolence, or was it true that his enemy was about to escape him? |
| 32942 | Was it really dead? |
| 32942 | Was she heavy, Herr de Courval?" |
| 32942 | Was there not something ignoble in refusing a kindness thus offered? |
| 32942 | We are going to be amused; and why not?" |
| 32942 | Well, then, you take it? |
| 32942 | Were all Quakers like these? |
| 32942 | What actress do you speak of?" |
| 32942 | What are they?" |
| 32942 | What can I do for you?" |
| 32942 | What credit hath it in the account of things? |
| 32942 | What did it hold for him? |
| 32942 | What do you mean to do?" |
| 32942 | What do you think of him?" |
| 32942 | What do you wish?" |
| 32942 | What does he propose to do?" |
| 32942 | What else could I do?" |
| 32942 | What else? |
| 32942 | What fairies have metamorphosed you?" |
| 32942 | What fetched you hither?" |
| 32942 | What happened, Mary?" |
| 32942 | What if men die that a people may live? |
| 32942 | What is droll?" |
| 32942 | What is it?" |
| 32942 | What is it?" |
| 32942 | What is the difference? |
| 32942 | What is there but to wait? |
| 32942 | What is there to make you talk of ruin?" |
| 32942 | What means''all events,''Herr René? |
| 32942 | What name did you say? |
| 32942 | What next? |
| 32942 | What rank had I when you saw me through my deadly duel with El Vomito? |
| 32942 | What shall I do?" |
| 32942 | What shall you do about it?" |
| 32942 | What then?'' |
| 32942 | What was doing in France? |
| 32942 | What was there to do but laugh?" |
| 32942 | What was this woman to sit in judgment on the Vicomte de Courval? |
| 32942 | What will Friends say?" |
| 32942 | What will the mother say? |
| 32942 | What would Friend Pennington say to that?" |
| 32942 | What would he have? |
| 32942 | What would she write Rochefoucauld d''Entin? |
| 32942 | What would this gentle Friend say, and the Pearl? |
| 32942 | What would thy mother say?" |
| 32942 | When I had ended, he said,''I am to be pardoned, sir, if I ask who in turn will vouch for you as a witness?''" |
| 32942 | When does a young woman look like what she is or may be? |
| 32942 | When will you come?" |
| 32942 | When, as I am told, you followed Mr. Carteaux, intending a very irregular duel, did you know that he carried a despatch?" |
| 32942 | Where are thy Quaker gown and stockings? |
| 32942 | Where did she get her fine ways?" |
| 32942 | Where did you learn to be so handy with it?" |
| 32942 | Where is he, Vicomte?" |
| 32942 | Where is it? |
| 32942 | Where is the vicomte?" |
| 32942 | Where shall they inquire?" |
| 32942 | Where was he? |
| 32942 | Who can I call upon?" |
| 32942 | Who can substantiate your statement as against that of a man said to be dying? |
| 32942 | Who else is dead of those we cared for?" |
| 32942 | Who is it is ill?" |
| 32942 | Who knows him?'' |
| 32942 | Who was he?" |
| 32942 | Who was the man?" |
| 32942 | Who will believe me? |
| 32942 | Who will know or believe it was a private quarrel?" |
| 32942 | Who, sir, is this Mr. Schmidt? |
| 32942 | Why did you bring me out here to flatter me?" |
| 32942 | Why did you not kick him?" |
| 32942 | Why did you not tell me the truth at first?" |
| 32942 | Why do men say fiddlesticks?" |
| 32942 | Why do people say that? |
| 32942 | Why do you put me off with such excuses?" |
| 32942 | Why dost thou go?" |
| 32942 | Why go in search of trouble? |
| 32942 | Why have you avoided me as you have done?" |
| 32942 | Why may not we too have the pleasure of extravagance?" |
| 32942 | Why not Mr. Lewis, sir, at need?" |
| 32942 | Why not beat in closer without lights, and then, with all the men you can spare, find the ship, and if it is ours, take her out?" |
| 32942 | Why not now?" |
| 32942 | Why not? |
| 32942 | Why not?" |
| 32942 | Why speak at all?" |
| 32942 | Why, sir, do they have any titles at all, even Citizen? |
| 32942 | Why, then, does it trouble you? |
| 32942 | Will Citizen Girard decline?" |
| 32942 | Will it be to- morrow, the marriage?" |
| 32942 | Will the withdrawing- room answer?" |
| 32942 | Will they like Friend Schmidt?" |
| 32942 | Will you do me the honor to dine with us at four to- morrow? |
| 32942 | Will you go, nominally as supercargo? |
| 32942 | Wilt thou come into the withdrawing- room? |
| 32942 | Wilt thou greet her with affectionate remembrance from an old man and repeat what I have said?" |
| 32942 | Wilt thou see them?" |
| 32942 | Wine, drives, a doctor, and for how long? |
| 32942 | Wolcott?" |
| 32942 | Would Schmidt explain to his mother his absence on business? |
| 32942 | Would he like to come to- morrow to the Jacobin Club? |
| 32942 | Would his mother like it? |
| 32942 | Would it please you, sir?" |
| 32942 | Would not you a little?" |
| 32942 | Would she be expected to say thou to them? |
| 32942 | Would you kindly see to her?" |
| 32942 | Would you who have done so much for him-- would you wish it?" |
| 32942 | Yes, I know, you avoid the_ émigrés_; but why? |
| 32942 | Yes, because you must? |
| 32942 | You are French?" |
| 32942 | You are not as yet fit for steady work; but if I can arrange it with Wynne, why not let me use you? |
| 32942 | You see it?" |
| 32942 | You waylay and half- kill the secretary of an envoy-- you, a clerk of the State Department--""_ Mon Dieu!_ Must he always bring me disaster?" |
| 32942 | You will stay? |
| 32942 | [ Illustration:"''Not to- day, children, not to- day''"]"What has so troubled him?" |
| 32942 | _ Ach, der Teufel!_ What errand was he about?" |
| 32942 | _ Bon chien, bonne chasse._ Do you know his story? |
| 32942 | _ Ciel!_ What might not happen? |
| 32942 | _ Mon Dieu!_ Does he live?" |
| 32942 | cried Schmidt--''the jest and the rapier''"]"I am a man of peace, how shouldst I know? |
| 32942 | how can you say such things? |
| 32942 | mother, why would you make me tell it?" |
| 32942 | who has not known them? |
| 30940 | A captain? |
| 30940 | About whom? |
| 30940 | Afraid in Philadelphia? |
| 30940 | Afraid? |
| 30940 | After what was over, my sister? |
| 30940 | And Charley, father? |
| 30940 | And I may tell him so? |
| 30940 | And Peggy? |
| 30940 | And did you not know that it was a misdemeanor to succor one of the enemy? |
| 30940 | And do you justify yourself for involving a loyal friend in difficulty by the mere fact that the prisoner was your cousin? |
| 30940 | And do you know that you are asking me to break my parole, my sister? 30940 And do you need it often, Betty?" |
| 30940 | And does thee fear that this is the place to be attacked? |
| 30940 | And does thee think the Congress will do anything for him, Peggy? |
| 30940 | And father let you engage in such emprises? |
| 30940 | And how are thy wife and daughters? |
| 30940 | And how did it turn out? |
| 30940 | And how does thee do to- day, my cousin? |
| 30940 | And how does thee do, John? |
| 30940 | And how is Betty concerned? |
| 30940 | And how is thee? |
| 30940 | And how shall it be decided? |
| 30940 | And how shall we amuse ourselves, Peggy, until''tis time to go to Clifford? |
| 30940 | And if I am, friend, what is it to thee? |
| 30940 | And must thee return there, David? |
| 30940 | And now, Harriet, what will you do? 30940 And she married an Englishman, did n''t she?" |
| 30940 | And so the prisoner was Clifford? 30940 And that is the only hope, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | And that wagon with the false bottom was where those goods were? |
| 30940 | And the Council, David? |
| 30940 | And the cousins? |
| 30940 | And the girls? |
| 30940 | And the raids, Friend Johnson? |
| 30940 | And this,spoke Harriet with quickened interest,"is the fortress that General Arnold was to deliver into our hands?" |
| 30940 | And thou, friend? 30940 And was thee not punished for it?" |
| 30940 | And was thee thinking of annexing Fairfax? |
| 30940 | And what has thee named her? |
| 30940 | And what is thee going to do anent it? 30940 And when do we go, mother?" |
| 30940 | And when does thee wish to start? |
| 30940 | And where is Harriet, my cousin? |
| 30940 | And who is it, Peggy? |
| 30940 | And why, sir,she said sharply,"should my brother be among those who are bidden to report?" |
| 30940 | And will it give satisfaction to wreak vengeance upon an innocent person? |
| 30940 | Are they not? |
| 30940 | Are you ill? |
| 30940 | Are you in hiding that you do not answer? |
| 30940 | Are you not coming too? |
| 30940 | Are you two talking about those huts yonder? |
| 30940 | As naming bedposts, do you mean, Hannah? 30940 At what are you looking, Mistress Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Betty to leave? 30940 Bound?" |
| 30940 | But didst notice, Peggy? 30940 But hath nothing been done to rid the state of them?" |
| 30940 | But he was a prisoner? 30940 But how did thee come here, Harriet? |
| 30940 | But of what was he guilty? 30940 But the death, my brother?" |
| 30940 | But to be alone, Clifford? |
| 30940 | But what can I do, Clifford? 30940 But what happened? |
| 30940 | But which would it be had they not gone together to make New Jersey? |
| 30940 | But who would have dreamed that he had it in him? |
| 30940 | But why did thee do it, Harriet? 30940 But why should he dislike him, lass? |
| 30940 | But why should thee be discouraged or hopeless now? |
| 30940 | But why was he not discovered? |
| 30940 | But why, why? |
| 30940 | But why? |
| 30940 | But would not Friend Nurse and thy wife be left unprotected while ye were away? |
| 30940 | But, Betty, why do you use a fan in such weather? |
| 30940 | But-- but Truelove Davis? |
| 30940 | Ca n''t we do something? |
| 30940 | Can thee bear it, lass, knowing that thy cousin''s time may be short? |
| 30940 | Can thee climb, my cousin? |
| 30940 | Can you drive, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Chatham? |
| 30940 | Clifford Owen? 30940 Clifford, do n''t you care?" |
| 30940 | Clifford, do n''t you understand? 30940 Clifford?" |
| 30940 | Could thee do anything about that? |
| 30940 | Defying those who are set to rule over us? 30940 Did Clifford Owen say that?" |
| 30940 | Did I do wrong, father? |
| 30940 | Did I not say that no harm was intended either of you? 30940 Did I show it so plainly? |
| 30940 | Did he turn to watch you, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Did mother call? |
| 30940 | Did not the son of Belial call thee Peggy? |
| 30940 | Did the friends bear in silence that thee and thine should depart from their peaceful practices? |
| 30940 | Did thee know, lass? |
| 30940 | Did thee name the bedposts to find who would be thy fate? 30940 Did thee tell Clifford about me? |
| 30940 | Did they go to New York from Yorktown? 30940 Did ye not hear the order to spare none? |
| 30940 | Did you not know that such an act might bring suspicion upon him? 30940 Didst ever hear the like? |
| 30940 | Didst hear that, Mary? 30940 Do I understand that something hath gone amiss for which you are entreating lenity?" |
| 30940 | Do I understand that you are responsible for having us brought to this place? |
| 30940 | Do not ask me to believe that Colonel Owen prefers his son''s life to his son''s honor? 30940 Do you think I can stay here and not know whether my brother is to be killed, or not?" |
| 30940 | Does it cause you painful thoughts, Peggy? 30940 Does n''t it smell good?" |
| 30940 | Does n''t thee like him? |
| 30940 | Does n''t thee want me to open it for thee, Friend Will? |
| 30940 | Does n''t thee, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Does she mean by that that thee has not eaten in all that time, Robert? |
| 30940 | Does that please thee better, friend youth? |
| 30940 | Does thee know where we are, my cousin? |
| 30940 | Does thee not remember I told thee how the enemy tried to capture him when I was at Middlebrook? 30940 Does thee not see the light?" |
| 30940 | Does thee not see, Peggy? 30940 Does thee not think it time? |
| 30940 | Does thee not think that we should try to get somewhere, Friend Nurse? |
| 30940 | Does thee really know, Peggy Owen? |
| 30940 | Does thee really think so, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Does thee remember that there is a penalty for harboring escaping prisoners? |
| 30940 | Done? 30940 Dost hear what he says?" |
| 30940 | Doth he mean that he is indeed fond of Betty? |
| 30940 | Doth thy sister live where she would be subjected to them? |
| 30940 | Drayton? |
| 30940 | Er-- a---- Well, you see----"Do you mean that your feelings have changed, sir? |
| 30940 | For Sally? |
| 30940 | For what purpose? 30940 For what purpose?" |
| 30940 | For whom did thee name it, Peggy? 30940 HOW COULD SHE KNOW?" |
| 30940 | Hanged? |
| 30940 | Harriet''s brother? |
| 30940 | Harriet, how could you do it? 30940 Harriet,"said Clifford in determined tones,"I want to know why Captain Drayton was so interested? |
| 30940 | Harriet? |
| 30940 | Harriet? |
| 30940 | Has n''t Peggy told you all about it? |
| 30940 | Has n''t thee? |
| 30940 | Has thee no hope, father? |
| 30940 | Has thee the migraine, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Hast thou searched the wash- house and the servants''quarters? |
| 30940 | Hath she not just said the wagon contained stores for our soldiers? |
| 30940 | Have they given him up yet? |
| 30940 | Have ye come at last? |
| 30940 | Have you forgot that''twas I who tried to effect his captivation at Middlebrook? 30940 Have you found him?" |
| 30940 | Have you nothing that two great fellows like the captain and myself can do? |
| 30940 | Have you seen the lady of whom you speak, Drayton? |
| 30940 | He told thee all that, Betty? |
| 30940 | He was? |
| 30940 | He? |
| 30940 | Helped me? 30940 How can we acknowledge that we are beaten? |
| 30940 | How could I have learned all the things I have said if I did the talking? |
| 30940 | How did thee dare? |
| 30940 | How did you get here? |
| 30940 | How do I know that I can trust you? |
| 30940 | How long doth it take for an exchange, Peggy? |
| 30940 | How much powder do I put in, Friend Nurse? |
| 30940 | How seemed he, Peggy? 30940 How shall I bear it when you are in England, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | How shall I tell you, Hannah? |
| 30940 | How shall I tell you? |
| 30940 | I feel better out here in the air; does n''t thee, Sally? |
| 30940 | I say,he said,"that was a close shave, was n''t it? |
| 30940 | I thought you were all for Captain Drayton? 30940 I wonder if thee knows how often thee says that, Sally?" |
| 30940 | I wonder if they are at home? |
| 30940 | I wonder where John is? |
| 30940 | I wonder,he was saying,"if this doth not explain the letter that I received to- day from General Washington?" |
| 30940 | I''d be sent to the guard- house if this uniform were to make its appearance on parade, would n''t I, captain? |
| 30940 | I, Clifford Owen, afraid? |
| 30940 | I? 30940 I? |
| 30940 | If she fails will General Washington carry out the execution, father? |
| 30940 | In very truth, Peggy Owen, doth thee not consider him the very nicest lad that we know? |
| 30940 | Indeed, my cousin? |
| 30940 | Is Cousin David coming? |
| 30940 | Is Robert to be there all summer? |
| 30940 | Is he---- No; thee ca n''t mean that he is-- dead? |
| 30940 | Is it chivalrous to slay the innocent for the guilty? 30940 Is it fish that we smell?" |
| 30940 | Is it not as barbarous, as inhuman to execute one who is as guiltless as yourself in the matter? 30940 Is it not somewhere hereabouts that the Battle of Monmouth was fought?" |
| 30940 | Is it the salt works? |
| 30940 | Is it warm? |
| 30940 | Is it wise, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Is n''t that our Silent Knight? |
| 30940 | Is n''t thee coming too, John? |
| 30940 | Is n''t thee ever afraid, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Is n''t thee ever going to get through with those pots and pans, Peggy? 30940 Is not Fairfax a fine fellow?" |
| 30940 | Is she not talking of going after supper? |
| 30940 | Is she not? |
| 30940 | Is that all I am to say, Sally? 30940 Is thee afraid, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Is thee afraid, Sally? |
| 30940 | Is thee angry with me? |
| 30940 | Is thee ill, friend? |
| 30940 | Is there aught that thou wouldst have me attend to, my lad? |
| 30940 | It hath come then? |
| 30940 | John Drayton found it? |
| 30940 | John troubled, Harriet? 30940 Just what does thee mean?" |
| 30940 | Like thee? |
| 30940 | Mary, did we ever do such things? |
| 30940 | May I ask why you would not venture in unless he were bound? |
| 30940 | May I inquire if it contained any further orders regarding me? |
| 30940 | May I speak to you a moment, captain? |
| 30940 | May we see Captain Williams for a few moments, sir? |
| 30940 | Methought I was in Philadelphia, and here we are in---- Is it East or West Jersey, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Nephew, heigh? 30940 Nevvy, will you find places for the girls at the table?" |
| 30940 | No? 30940 Now what doth Harriet want? |
| 30940 | Now why for my delectation instead of thine, or Sally''s? |
| 30940 | Now you are n''t going to hold it against me, are you, Miss Sally? |
| 30940 | Now you wish me to acknowledge how wrong I was, I suppose? |
| 30940 | Now? 30940 OF WHAT WAS HE GUILTY?" |
| 30940 | Of what do you accuse my sister, sir? |
| 30940 | Of what was he guilty, Hannah? 30940 Oh, Sally, how could thee?" |
| 30940 | Or are you also shocked? |
| 30940 | Peggy Owen,she cried,"do I in very truth smell pepper- pot?" |
| 30940 | Peggy to go back to face Colonel Dayton with information that I have escaped? |
| 30940 | Peggy, does thee think that he really cared for her? |
| 30940 | Peggy, will thee ever love me again? |
| 30940 | Peggy,he cried springing to his feet,"is this what that Yankee captain meant by sending for me? |
| 30940 | Peggy,she cried flinging herself down beside her friend,"did n''t thee hear me? |
| 30940 | Peggy,she whispered, snuggling close to her friend,"what does thee think of it all?" |
| 30940 | Robert? |
| 30940 | Sally, Sally, is thee going to be unreasonable and obstinate now? 30940 Sally, thee wo n''t do anything of the kind, will thee?" |
| 30940 | Sam, give a hand with this bed, will you? |
| 30940 | See the farmhouse to the right on that crossroad? 30940 Shall we go now, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | She must tell us every word he says; must she not, Robert? |
| 30940 | She said that? |
| 30940 | Sick? 30940 So the Council hauled you and Sally up before it, did it?" |
| 30940 | So thee can have a chance to talk me over with Peggy? |
| 30940 | Stationed there? 30940 Strange, is''t not?" |
| 30940 | Such words from you who are the soul of honor? 30940 Sukey,"said Peggy trying to speak naturally,"has thee seen to the beds yet? |
| 30940 | Surely they have not gone away? |
| 30940 | Tell me what was in the wagon in which thee came? |
| 30940 | The conversation went like this, Peggy,giggled Sally:"''Is the farm a large one that thy aunt hath taken, Friend Fairfax?'' |
| 30940 | Thee ca n''t mean it? 30940 Thee has a niece, Kitty, has n''t thee, Friend Deering?" |
| 30940 | Thee saw him, then? |
| 30940 | Thee would like to see them, would thee not? |
| 30940 | Then if you knew these things, why did you do this? |
| 30940 | Then it hath helped thee, Clifford? |
| 30940 | Then why do we put the horses there? |
| 30940 | Then would he have to examine the wagon load of stores which I came with before it could be given to our soldiers? |
| 30940 | Then, lad, thou hast no hope? |
| 30940 | Think you I could stay away when I knew not what would be done to you? |
| 30940 | Think you that I could go, and leave you here unprotected? 30940 Thou knew of it? |
| 30940 | Thy Cousin Clifford? 30940 To do what, nevvy?" |
| 30940 | Truly? |
| 30940 | Was it thou who wast responsible for the plan of getting away? |
| 30940 | Was n''t that fine? |
| 30940 | Was not that much to say? |
| 30940 | Was thee very fond of him, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Was there anything else contraband in the wagon, John? |
| 30940 | We are going to cheer up right now, are n''t we, Peggy? |
| 30940 | We read of it, Friend Moore; but does thee think their mother would have done it? 30940 Well, have you found anything?" |
| 30940 | Well, he could n''t run away from me, could he? 30940 Well, why does n''t thee?" |
| 30940 | Well? 30940 Well? |
| 30940 | Well? |
| 30940 | What could you possibly have to say to him? |
| 30940 | What did I say? |
| 30940 | What did you find, Cousin David? |
| 30940 | What does thee fear? |
| 30940 | What does thee mean, friend? |
| 30940 | What does thee think of it all, Clifford? |
| 30940 | What does thee think, Peggy? |
| 30940 | What does thee wish, friend? |
| 30940 | What has thee been doing, Betty Williams? |
| 30940 | What hath gone amiss, friend? 30940 What hath happened, lass?" |
| 30940 | What have such things to do with me? |
| 30940 | What if Betty were here? |
| 30940 | What if-- if he should shoot? |
| 30940 | What is his work? |
| 30940 | What is it, John? |
| 30940 | What is it, Peggy? |
| 30940 | What is it, Peggy? |
| 30940 | What is it, Tom? |
| 30940 | What is it, friend? |
| 30940 | What is it? |
| 30940 | What is it? |
| 30940 | What is it? |
| 30940 | What is it? |
| 30940 | What is it? |
| 30940 | What is the matter, Sukey? |
| 30940 | What know thee of the Owen temper? |
| 30940 | What letter, sir? |
| 30940 | What manner of man do you think I am that I''d let a pack of Tory scoundrels have my nephew? |
| 30940 | What of them? |
| 30940 | What put such a notion in thy head, Sally? 30940 What shall I do? |
| 30940 | What shall I do? 30940 What shall be done anent that door, mother?" |
| 30940 | What think you? |
| 30940 | What time was that, sir? |
| 30940 | What will the Congress do? |
| 30940 | What''s to do, neighbor? |
| 30940 | What-- what can I do for thee, Clifford? |
| 30940 | Whatever is thee talking about? |
| 30940 | When am I to report for duty, Uncle Tom? |
| 30940 | When did it occur? |
| 30940 | When did thee wish to start, Friend Nurse? |
| 30940 | When did you leave the Highlands, sir? |
| 30940 | When? 30940 Where is Charley?" |
| 30940 | Where is he? |
| 30940 | Where is that bonnet? |
| 30940 | Where shall we go, Clifford? |
| 30940 | Wherefore? |
| 30940 | Who are those men that brought us here? |
| 30940 | Who art thou that''tis thy duty to read me a lesson? 30940 Who would have thought to find you here? |
| 30940 | Who would think of finding a stable right in the house? |
| 30940 | Who? 30940 Why could not you and Peggy go to Jersey with me for a while? |
| 30940 | Why dally longer? |
| 30940 | Why did thee not come to me for aid, lass? |
| 30940 | Why did you not tell us sooner? 30940 Why didst thou not cry out? |
| 30940 | Why do they make the interview so short? |
| 30940 | Why does thee not come to the door like an honest man instead of sneaking behind it? 30940 Why no; why should he?" |
| 30940 | Why should Drayton so concern himself about me? |
| 30940 | Why should he shield a refugee when an English officer''s life is at stake? 30940 Why should they bind thee?" |
| 30940 | Why, Robert, does thee not know that a fan is to a woman what a gun is to a soldier-- a weapon of offense and of defense? |
| 30940 | Why, child, how came thee here? 30940 Why, how did he come to look in the vinegar?" |
| 30940 | Why, what does this mean? |
| 30940 | Why? |
| 30940 | Will some one hand me a chair? |
| 30940 | Will thee come home with me to see Harriet, Sally? |
| 30940 | Will thee help us to manage it, Friend Fairfax? |
| 30940 | Will thee let us see him, John? |
| 30940 | Will thee pardon me, Truelove, if I say that thy amiability lacks somewhat of sweetness? |
| 30940 | Will ye enter, friends? |
| 30940 | Will you listen, my cousin? |
| 30940 | Will you see that they are sent? 30940 Will you take her? |
| 30940 | Without knowing who it might be, Robert? |
| 30940 | Would it be permitted, John, that I go with the lad? |
| 30940 | Would n''t thee give him shelter? |
| 30940 | Would n''t thee, Friend Deering? |
| 30940 | Would they really take after Fairfax if they saw him taking to the woods? |
| 30940 | Yes; but what hath happened to the State House? 30940 Yes; it does seem strange, does n''t it? |
| 30940 | Yes? |
| 30940 | Yes? |
| 30940 | You do? |
| 30940 | You had, uncle? |
| 30940 | You knew that''twas a misdemeanor, and yet unbeknown to your father you still committed it? |
| 30940 | You surely do n''t keep that barn door open when there are horses inside, do you, Tom? |
| 30940 | You will, will you not, my cousin? |
| 30940 | You wish speech with me, Mistress Sally? |
| 30940 | Your brother? |
| 30940 | _Is thee nearly ready, Peggy? |
| 30940 | ''Is being with the military so much the reason thou and thy mother left Williamsburgh?'' |
| 30940 | ''Twould be quite natural for some one to call for her, would it not?" |
| 30940 | --_Author Unknown._"Surely thee is not unpacking, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | --_Eugene Field._"Peggy, does thee know that Fifth Month is upon us, and that we have been here nearly two months?" |
| 30940 | --_John Strange Winter._"And you will take Peggy and me to see Clifford this morning, wo n''t you, Cousin David?" |
| 30940 | A son of that Colonel Owen who as a prisoner on parole stayed at your house?" |
| 30940 | A sudden, wild cry burst from her:"Will that give me back my son? |
| 30940 | About Robert first: How could he have known anything anent Clifford, yet what he said was so opportune? |
| 30940 | After being such brave, helpful girls all night, are ye going to give way now? |
| 30940 | Am I not his mother? |
| 30940 | And at which one did thee look? |
| 30940 | And does thee hold with these misguided Whigs, Margaret?" |
| 30940 | And father? |
| 30940 | And how will the girls ever know what hath befallen us without it?" |
| 30940 | And how will thee find it, friend?" |
| 30940 | And the fires? |
| 30940 | And thee did n''t hear me? |
| 30940 | And this is your friend, Miss Sally, eh?" |
| 30940 | And what does thee think? |
| 30940 | And what does thee think? |
| 30940 | And what then, Sally?" |
| 30940 | And what then?" |
| 30940 | And why did thee assume this dress?" |
| 30940 | And yet, at what price art thou bought? |
| 30940 | And you will go with me?" |
| 30940 | And, Peggy----""Yes, my cousin?" |
| 30940 | Are n''t you going to kiss me?" |
| 30940 | Are not her eyes dazzling?" |
| 30940 | Are we almost there, son?" |
| 30940 | Are ye not tired?" |
| 30940 | Are you all alone?" |
| 30940 | Are you on a furlough too, sir?" |
| 30940 | At the hills? |
| 30940 | Because some one else hath committed a crime must another pay the penalty? |
| 30940 | Before the lady could reply Peggy spoke suddenly:"Why do thy husband and Fairfax carry their muskets?" |
| 30940 | But at this there came a cry from his mother:"Tom Ashley, what are you getting my boy into?" |
| 30940 | But how?" |
| 30940 | But is there not mercy as well as justice? |
| 30940 | But where could he go? |
| 30940 | But where is he now? |
| 30940 | But why did he go under the name of Captain Williams? |
| 30940 | But-- but after two days; then what?" |
| 30940 | But---- Clifford? |
| 30940 | But----""But what, Uncle Tom?" |
| 30940 | By the way,"turning suddenly toward Fairfax Johnson,"captain, was it not thee who went up there first?" |

| 30940 | CHAPTER XXVIII"HOW COULD SHE KNOW?" |
| 30940 | Ca n''t you do something?" |
| 30940 | Captain Drayton, will you and the commissary take the hats?" |
| 30940 | Could any youth deliberately cast aside the distinction? |
| 30940 | Could he not get leave? |
| 30940 | Could it be that some one was coming with help for Clifford? |
| 30940 | Could n''t thee give me one little kind word for him? |
| 30940 | Could they reach it before these lawless wretches overtook them? |
| 30940 | Could they reach it? |
| 30940 | Did he see a saucy, piquant face framed in ringlets that escaped in bewitching wilfulness from under the dainty cap of a Quakeress? |
| 30940 | Did it mean failure? |
| 30940 | Did n''t she ride in the cold and the storm to inform General Putnam of the spy, Molesworth''s plot? |
| 30940 | Did the general send any message regarding the young man''s treatment?" |
| 30940 | Did thee not know that the Minister of War hath charge of him now? |
| 30940 | Didst ever see Betty''s equal?" |
| 30940 | Do you know, Peggy, that matter hath created quite a stir in New York? |
| 30940 | Do you not know that these highways are not safe?" |
| 30940 | Do you not think, Uncle Tom, that a few days could be taken now to get these maidens home? |
| 30940 | Do you not understand that Sir Guy hath sent word to General Washington that he will investigate further? |
| 30940 | Do you remember last year, when John Drayton, that Yankee captain, was condemned to this same sort of death, what father said? |
| 30940 | Do you think the raiders will return?" |
| 30940 | Do-- do the thongs hurt thee very much?" |
| 30940 | Does Cousin David think there is aught of use in Harriet''s seeing the Congress, or General Washington?" |
| 30940 | Does he not, Sally?" |
| 30940 | Does n''t thee think he will?" |
| 30940 | Does thee hear, Sally?" |
| 30940 | Does thee hear?" |
| 30940 | Does thee know what my work here is?" |
| 30940 | Does thee not see?" |
| 30940 | Does thee not see?" |
| 30940 | Does thee not think so too, Robert?" |
| 30940 | Does thee not think so, Friend Fairfax?'' |
| 30940 | Does thee not think thee should go down?" |
| 30940 | Does thee think that he knew what we were about? |
| 30940 | Does thee think the sheriff could tell that I knew aught?" |
| 30940 | Does thee think thee has all the sweetness in the family? |
| 30940 | Does thee understand?" |
| 30940 | Dost see, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Doth a mother, a sister, a wife cease to love when man hath lost his honor? |
| 30940 | For what was she watching and waiting? |
| 30940 | Had he really seen Clifford? |
| 30940 | Had the garrison repulsed the foe, or was the ammunition exhausted? |
| 30940 | Has n''t she worked to keep the hands, and the feet, and the backs of the army warm? |
| 30940 | Has she told thee?" |
| 30940 | Hath he not been taught to bear meekly that which Providence hath called us to suffer? |
| 30940 | Hath she not been taught every First- day to do good to them that despitefully use her? |
| 30940 | He called to her as he passed:"Which way, Peggy? |
| 30940 | How I did not betray him to Sheriff Will?" |
| 30940 | How can I comfort thee?" |
| 30940 | How can I tell thee what he said if thee will not listen? |
| 30940 | How can she help softness of heart? |
| 30940 | How could one show him favor?" |
| 30940 | How could she know that that was just what I would need to put me on my mettle? |
| 30940 | How could she know?" |
| 30940 | How could such an one be hanged?" |
| 30940 | How did she come here?" |
| 30940 | How did thee escape?" |
| 30940 | How did you happen to think of it, Sally?" |
| 30940 | How long a time hath your chief given Harriet?" |
| 30940 | How was he bearing it out there alone in the guard- house? |
| 30940 | How----""Did I hear something said anent coffee, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | I am wondering how many will do for you girls?" |
| 30940 | I found Harriet at Philadelphia----""Found Harriet where?" |
| 30940 | I wonder if I should have been a Quaker, and a rebel with the rest of you? |
| 30940 | I wonder if it would not be best to consult with mother? |
| 30940 | I wonder where he escaped from, and if there is but one?" |
| 30940 | I wonder who it is?" |
| 30940 | I wonder why he did not stay?" |
| 30940 | I writ before, you remember? |
| 30940 | If our friend Fairfax had not been the prince of good fellows where would I be now?" |
| 30940 | If the matter be suffered to go by without retaliation what assurance have we that they will not be as lawlessly dealt with as Captain Johnson?" |
| 30940 | If thee sees thy cousin will thee tell him all about how I came to show Sheriff Will the closet?" |
| 30940 | If this be true how is it that we are favored with your company?" |
| 30940 | Is it not a strange turn of the Wheel of Fortune that he should be in my charge, when a little less than a year ago I was a prisoner under him? |
| 30940 | Is it of a serious nature?" |
| 30940 | Is life of so little worth that you do not care for it? |
| 30940 | Is n''t thee having just the best time?" |
| 30940 | Is not thy father of the sect of Friends? |
| 30940 | Is not uncertainty full of anguish and suspense?" |
| 30940 | Is she not a female? |
| 30940 | Is that it? |
| 30940 | Is that the gallantry of the military?" |
| 30940 | Is that your mother''s coach coming?" |
| 30940 | Is thee pleased?" |
| 30940 | Is thee ready, Sally?" |
| 30940 | Is there a ladder?" |
| 30940 | Is there any mischief to the cause that could be done here?" |
| 30940 | Is there naught else? |
| 30940 | Is there no way to prevent this awful thing? |
| 30940 | Is there not a barn where I could abide for the night?" |
| 30940 | Is there wood in plenty? |
| 30940 | Is your mother in the coach, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Is''t ready, lass?" |
| 30940 | It was a full moment before a reply came; then a man''s voice demanded sharply:"What''s wanted?" |
| 30940 | It was when Clifford was here, thee remembers?" |
| 30940 | Just? |
| 30940 | Lass, canst thou not help Sukey to get it quickly?" |
| 30940 | Major Gordon,"turning toward that officer suddenly,"ca n''t you do something? |
| 30940 | Now as the leader issued a command to march the youth spoke:"What is the meaning of this outrage? |
| 30940 | Now as to this other matter: you will go at once to Sally, will you not, my cousin? |
| 30940 | Now confess,"pinching Peggy''s cheek playfully,"you did not dream that I was aught other than Truelove Davis; did you?" |
| 30940 | Now does not that strawberry tart look tempting?" |
| 30940 | Now had n''t thee better be moving? |
| 30940 | Now thine own name: Did none ever term thee True, or Love? |
| 30940 | Now what doth she want, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Now, Tom, what shall be done? |
| 30940 | Of Virginia, thee remembers? |
| 30940 | Of course''twill not be Fleetwood, but thee wo n''t mind that, will thee?" |
| 30940 | Of what use to flee? |
| 30940 | Oh, Clifford, what can I do for thee now? |
| 30940 | Oh, how could thee do it? |
| 30940 | Oh, sir, thee wo n''t mind if I----""Not to the execution?" |
| 30940 | Oh, wo n''t the rebels howl when they find their victim gone?" |
| 30940 | Only----""Only let our fingers work while our tongues fly?" |
| 30940 | Or did he see instead a pair of blue eyes swimming in tears through which divinest pity shone? |
| 30940 | Or has thee made up thy mind not to listen to Clifford''s explanation in revenge for the time that he was in listening to thine?" |
| 30940 | Or should I have been a Tory?" |
| 30940 | Owen?" |
| 30940 | Owen?" |
| 30940 | Peggy, did thee feel like this when coming back from thy other flittings?" |
| 30940 | Present my compliments to the ladies, will you?" |
| 30940 | Presently Mary Ashley spoke shrilly:"Father, where is the cartridge paper? |
| 30940 | Robert, wilt thou go for her?" |
| 30940 | Robert? |
| 30940 | Sally Evans, whatever is the matter?" |
| 30940 | See the door up there? |
| 30940 | Shall I place him by thee at table?" |
| 30940 | Shall I throw it down?" |
| 30940 | Shall we go to his rescue?" |
| 30940 | She told me to tell thee something at the very last---- And that would be now, would it not?" |
| 30940 | Sir, where will it stop?" |
| 30940 | So you brought your sweetheart along, heigh? |
| 30940 | So you would not take a lesson from a stranger, eh? |
| 30940 | Sukey, will thee need more wood?" |
| 30940 | Suppose he had come asking for shelter? |
| 30940 | Surely not now?" |
| 30940 | Suspicious?" |
| 30940 | That another innocent life should be taken? |
| 30940 | That gone, what was left? |
| 30940 | That you are asking me to break my word of honor? |
| 30940 | That you wish me to betray the trust reposed in me by a chivalrous foe?" |
| 30940 | The Congress met there while the British held this city, thee remembers?" |
| 30940 | The sheriff?" |
| 30940 | Thee does n''t mind?" |
| 30940 | Thee is pleased over that, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Thee knows it, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Thee knows that I would n''t do such a thing, does n''t thee? |
| 30940 | Thee remembers how we used to laugh at Harriet because she was always extolling her brother at the expense of any youth she met? |
| 30940 | Thee remembers it, Peggy? |
| 30940 | Thee will come too, will thee not?" |
| 30940 | Thee would n''t hear Peggy, thee would n''t hear Mr. Owen, but now thee will listen to me, wo n''t thee?" |
| 30940 | Thee would not insinuate anything so ungallant, would thee, Captain Johnson?" |
| 30940 | Then Betty with a smile:''I believe Southerners call a farm a plantation, do they not?'' |
| 30940 | They turned toward her eagerly as she spoke:"Are n''t you getting hungry, or are you too interested to stop for dinner?" |
| 30940 | Think ye that females are made of such stern fiber that a relative, even though he were an enemy, would ask aid and be refused? |
| 30940 | Thou art sure that thou hast given no cause for the feeling, lass?" |
| 30940 | To her relief Sally spoke up:"Will thee let us see him if thee finds him, Friend Will? |
| 30940 | WHAT CAN BE DONE? |
| 30940 | Was any one hurt?" |
| 30940 | Was it not fine in Robert to speak as he did? |
| 30940 | Was it possible that she had indeed lost all hope after her failure to rescue her brother? |
| 30940 | Was it worth while to jeopardize thy new commission to aid Peggy with her cousin?" |
| 30940 | Was there the slightest emphasis on the"that"? |
| 30940 | Was this what it meant? |
| 30940 | Was your father at home at the time?" |
| 30940 | Was your father concerned in this, Miss Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Welcome? |
| 30940 | Well, why does n''t thee talk, and tell me all that hath occurred?" |
| 30940 | Were they weary, or was their stock of cartridges getting low? |
| 30940 | What are those specks, Friend Fairfax? |
| 30940 | What are you looking at, Sally?" |
| 30940 | What are you saying, Tom Ashley?" |
| 30940 | What comfort could she give him? |
| 30940 | What comfort could she, a mere girl, be to her cousin in this trying hour? |
| 30940 | What could be done? |
| 30940 | What could it be? |
| 30940 | What could it mean? |
| 30940 | What crime did he commit?" |
| 30940 | What did it mean? |
| 30940 | What did she say?" |
| 30940 | What did thee do?" |
| 30940 | What did you say? |
| 30940 | What do you want with us?" |
| 30940 | What does thee think of them?" |
| 30940 | What doth hinder you from writing an order for his release?" |
| 30940 | What hath rendered you so indifferent?" |
| 30940 | What have you to answer to this charge?" |
| 30940 | What if I were to be fearful all the time?" |
| 30940 | What if it is on the scaffold, and not the battle- field? |
| 30940 | What if thee had been there?" |
| 30940 | What is it, Betty?" |
| 30940 | What is it?" |
| 30940 | What is pride of race when you are to die? |
| 30940 | What is the meaning of this?" |
| 30940 | What makes them cluster about the grounds so?" |
| 30940 | What shall I do? |
| 30940 | What shall I do?" |
| 30940 | What should she do with him? |
| 30940 | What to him are all our wars, What but death bemocking folly?" |
| 30940 | What to him is friend or foeman, Rise of moon, or set of sun, Hand of man, or kiss of woman? |
| 30940 | What virtue does thee give thy feathers, Mistress Ashley, to make them bestow so sound a slumber?" |
| 30940 | What was it? |
| 30940 | What was taking place behind those clouds of smoke? |
| 30940 | What will father say?" |
| 30940 | What will they do with him, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | What will you do?" |
| 30940 | What would be their portion should these men find them? |
| 30940 | What''s wanted?" |
| 30940 | What?" |
| 30940 | When did England ever confess such a thing? |
| 30940 | When he spoke it was clearly and composedly:"My sister, what do you here? |
| 30940 | Where are you?" |
| 30940 | Where could the lad stay? |
| 30940 | Where did he learn of Fox to retort violence for violence, or that shedding of blood was justifiable? |
| 30940 | Where does your uncle live, and for what place are you bound?" |
| 30940 | Where is he?" |
| 30940 | Where is my cousin? |
| 30940 | Where is the conserve, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Where is thee going?" |
| 30940 | Which one is she?" |
| 30940 | Which way?" |
| 30940 | Who can it be?" |
| 30940 | Who hath a better right to know if aught hath befallen him?" |
| 30940 | Who is it?" |
| 30940 | Who knows but that he brings good luck to us too, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Whom can we trust since General Arnold failed us?" |
| 30940 | Whom does thee mean by they?" |
| 30940 | Whose turn would be the next? |
| 30940 | Why came ye back from the woods? |
| 30940 | Why do you ask? |
| 30940 | Why do you not ask the driver concerning the matter?" |
| 30940 | Why does n''t thee mention Peggy''s services? |
| 30940 | Why is it, I wonder, that we females delight to torment such even though they are in very truth heroes?" |
| 30940 | Why is it?'' |
| 30940 | Why need we speak of it further?" |
| 30940 | Why not go to General Washington and plead for your brother? |
| 30940 | Why should he exert himself to avert an untoward fate from me?" |
| 30940 | Why then had she not heard? |
| 30940 | Why, Washington depends on us for flour, and how can we raise the grain when we are shot down as we plow the fields? |
| 30940 | Why, do you know the shame of the thing had almost prostrated me? |
| 30940 | Why, how can we get along without her?" |
| 30940 | Why, where is she going? |
| 30940 | Will the country ever be aught but torn and disrupted by warfare? |
| 30940 | Will thee, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Will they listen to Harriet, I wonder? |
| 30940 | Will ye go?" |
| 30940 | Will you ask him to come in?" |
| 30940 | Will you come, Peggy?" |
| 30940 | Will you shelter an escaping prisoner, my cousin?" |
| 30940 | Will you surrender Captain Johnson?" |
| 30940 | Will you try to make peace for me? |
| 30940 | Wo n''t he?" |
| 30940 | Would Harriet succeed? |
| 30940 | Would his high courage remain with him to the end? |
| 30940 | Would it not be as kind to Clifford? |
| 30940 | Would n''t thee like to add something, Sally?" |
| 30940 | Would thee be any the less a friend to thy country if thee should listen to the dictates of humanity and give him shelter?" |
| 30940 | Would there never be another day for Clifford? |
| 30940 | Yet thee would not listen to me if thee were not bound; would thee?" |
| 30940 | Yet-- yet I am thankful that I did not know----""Know what?" |
| 30940 | You understand that, do n''t you?" |
| 30940 | You will not mind?" |
| 30940 | You will tell her?" |
| 30940 | You-- you mean-- there would be no pause, would there?" |
| 30940 | [ Illustration:"WHERE IS THEE GOING?"] |
| 30940 | does thee mean that?" |
| 30940 | how did thee know that''twas I who helped any one?" |
| 30940 | is it not awful that men should so hunt and hound each other? |
| 30940 | is it not charming that I am with thee?" |
| 30940 | she cried,"why were n''t we named Betty? |
| 30940 | surely thee has n''t been coolly picking flowers?" |
| 30940 | then thee believes that he must die?" |
| 30940 | what would have happened if Sally had not taken my cousin home with her? |
| 30940 | where were my eyes? |
| 30940 | will naught ever go right again? |
| 30940 | will peace ever come? |
| 30940 | you are always getting into trouble over us, are n''t you? |
| 18508 | ''And paid your instructor?'' 18508 ''Indeed? |
| 18508 | ''Why do you hesitate?'' 18508 ''Why not stay,''said he,''as long as I and my family stay? |
| 18508 | A bachelor, say you? 18508 A height, however, to attain which you suppose only her consent, her love, to be necessary?" |
| 18508 | Afflict you? |
| 18508 | An old man? 18508 And is such your opinion of mankind? |
| 18508 | And is that the only part you wish to act towards this girl? |
| 18508 | And my uncle would have nothing to do with my affairs? |
| 18508 | And on the strength of this acquaintance you expect to be her almoner? 18508 And pray of what kind may they be?" |
| 18508 | And what has since become of him? |
| 18508 | And who is this model? |
| 18508 | And why? |
| 18508 | And will you comply with them? |
| 18508 | And, pr''ythee, what have they said? |
| 18508 | Are these crimes? |
| 18508 | Are you mad, young man? |
| 18508 | Are you not a little capricious in that respect, my good friend? 18508 Are you not my lost mamma come back again? |
| 18508 | Before I am convinced that she deserves it? 18508 But how shall she be persuaded to a change?" |
| 18508 | But tell me,I resumed, following and searching her averted eyes;"am I right? |
| 18508 | But what are the attributes of this_ desirable_ which Bess wants? |
| 18508 | But what should they hug together in one room for? |
| 18508 | But what,said I,"is my title to this money? |
| 18508 | But where, where is he now? 18508 But why not go myself?" |
| 18508 | But will he not suspect you of some hand in it? |
| 18508 | But will not the recovery of this money make a favourable change in her condition? |
| 18508 | Can you seriously wish that? |
| 18508 | Did I not rescue her from poverty, and prostitution, and infamy? 18508 Do you know in what situation he now is?" |
| 18508 | Do you know that woman? |
| 18508 | Do you not know,he replied,"what my disease is? |
| 18508 | Does she not possess them already? |
| 18508 | Does that follow? 18508 Eliza Hadwin:--do you wish-- could you bear-- to see her the wife of another?" |
| 18508 | Facts? 18508 For God''s sake!--what does all this mean? |
| 18508 | For what purpose? |
| 18508 | Forgive you what? 18508 Has she property? |
| 18508 | Has she virtue? 18508 Have I not explained my wishes? |
| 18508 | Have I not the same claims to be wise, and active, and courageous, as you? 18508 Have you good reasons for supposing him to have been illicitly connected with that girl?" |
| 18508 | Have you not heard? 18508 How am I to introduce myself? |
| 18508 | How are you this morning? |
| 18508 | How became you once more the companion of Welbeck? 18508 How can he? |
| 18508 | How can it be helped? |
| 18508 | How comes this? |
| 18508 | How comes this? |
| 18508 | How dare you thrust yourself upon my privacy? 18508 How do you mean to act?" |
| 18508 | How is this? |
| 18508 | How know I that her debasement is not already complete and irremediable? 18508 How long has he been married?" |
| 18508 | How long has he been married? |
| 18508 | How much is the debt? |
| 18508 | How? 18508 How?" |
| 18508 | How?--To Stedman''s?--In whose company? |
| 18508 | I have been wrong; but how too late? 18508 I will not jest, then, but will soberly inquire, what faults are they which make this lady''s choice of you so incredible? |
| 18508 | If you love her likeness, why not love herself? |
| 18508 | In what manner can I serve her? |
| 18508 | In what way,said Mervyn, sedately,"do they imagine me a partaker of his crime?" |
| 18508 | Is it rational to cherish the hope of thy restoration to innocence and peace? 18508 Is there no other whom you love?" |
| 18508 | It grieves you? 18508 It is; but why that sigh? |
| 18508 | It will be impossible,said he, in a tone of panic and vexation,"to procure another at this hour: what is to be done?" |
| 18508 | Know you,said I,"where Mr. Welbeck is? |
| 18508 | Mr. Somers, I suppose; hey, fool? 18508 Must he decide where I am to live?" |
| 18508 | No? 18508 Of me?" |
| 18508 | Of whom do you speak? |
| 18508 | Pr''ythee, what is it? |
| 18508 | Really,said I,"that circumstance escaped my attention, and I wonder that it did; but is it too late to repair the evil?" |
| 18508 | Such- and- such,I once said,"are my notions; now, what do_ you_ think?" |
| 18508 | Tell me,repeated I,"what can I do to serve you? |
| 18508 | Then you are determined against marriage with this girl? |
| 18508 | Then you have no scruple to accept the reward? |
| 18508 | Then you will try to see her? |
| 18508 | This Mervyn has imagined, has dared-- will you forgive him? |
| 18508 | Thy undertaking was strangely hazardous and rash; but who is the friend thou seekest? 18508 To arrest and to punishment?" |
| 18508 | To what? 18508 Well, sir,"said Williams,"you think that Arthur Mervyn has no remedy in this case but the law?" |
| 18508 | What ails the girl? 18508 What art so busy about, Arthur? |
| 18508 | What can this mean? |
| 18508 | What do you fear? |
| 18508 | What embarrassments? 18508 What good has been done, then, by restoring this money?" |
| 18508 | What have you done, my friend? 18508 What is his name?" |
| 18508 | What is his profession,--his way of life? |
| 18508 | What is his trade? |
| 18508 | What is the character of the young man? 18508 What is to pay?" |
| 18508 | What is your business with her? 18508 What made me so thoughtless of the time? |
| 18508 | What means my girl? 18508 What more can be added?" |
| 18508 | What more? 18508 What now remains? |
| 18508 | What proof,said I,"have you of the immoral conduct of the son? |
| 18508 | What reward? |
| 18508 | What then do you come hither for at such an hour? |
| 18508 | What then is the inference? 18508 What was it,"said I,"that brought me hither? |
| 18508 | What was this lad''s personal deportment during the life of his mother, and before his father''s second marriage? |
| 18508 | What would you have? |
| 18508 | What,said I,"is old Thetford''s claim upon Welbeck?" |
| 18508 | What,said he, mildly,"is your business with my wife? |
| 18508 | What,she resumed,"could inspire all this woe? |
| 18508 | Whence have you come? |
| 18508 | Whence,said I,"can these dissatisfactions and repinings arise?" |
| 18508 | Where''s Polly, you slut? 18508 Where,"said I,"will this adventure terminate? |
| 18508 | Where,said she, in her broken English,--"where is Signor Welbeck?" |
| 18508 | Whither should I fly? 18508 Who said you did, impertinence? |
| 18508 | Whom did I hear in the room above? 18508 Why are you so precipitate? |
| 18508 | Why do we linger here? 18508 Why have you changed it? |
| 18508 | Why led you me thus back to my sad remembrances? 18508 Why should I live? |
| 18508 | Why, surely, you place no confidence in dreams? |
| 18508 | Why,said I, as I hasted forward,"is my fortune so abundant in unforeseen occurrences? |
| 18508 | Why,said I, falteringly,"did he not seasonably withdraw from the city? |
| 18508 | Why,said I,"may I not make my demand of the first man I meet? |
| 18508 | Why? 18508 Will not argument change it? |
| 18508 | Will you compel me to call those who will punish this insolence as it deserves? |
| 18508 | Will you leave the house? |
| 18508 | Will you leave the house? |
| 18508 | Would marriage with her be a forfeiture of your happiness? |
| 18508 | Would that change be worthy of a cautious person? 18508 Would you have me act a clandestine part? |
| 18508 | Yet what alternative was offered me? 18508 You are a very prudential youth: then you are willing to wait ten years for a wife?" |
| 18508 | You say you love her: why then not make her your wife? |
| 18508 | You will persuade her to go with you, and to live at a home of your providing and on your bounty? |
| 18508 | Your friend? 18508 ''Are you ready?'' 18508 ( in a peremptory tone,)how came you here, sir? |
| 18508 | ( said I,) would you stab or pistol him? |
| 18508 | A few hundreds would take him from prison; but how should he be afterwards disposed of? |
| 18508 | A sad silence ensued the cheerfulness that had reigned before:--"Why thus dejected, my friend?" |
| 18508 | After a pause, a soft voice said,"Who is there?" |
| 18508 | After some pause, I said,"Can not you conjecture in what way this volume has disappeared?" |
| 18508 | After some pause, he said, in a very emphatic manner,"Why into the country? |
| 18508 | Am I known to be a seducer and assassin? |
| 18508 | Am I not endowed with this zeal? |
| 18508 | Am I not, by the appointment of her dying brother, her protector and guardian? |
| 18508 | And even then, what regard shall I, young, unmarried, independent, affluent, pay to my own reputation in harbouring a woman in these circumstances?" |
| 18508 | And if so, shall I repine at your silence? |
| 18508 | And what expedient was it in my power to propose? |
| 18508 | And why did you adopt this mode of inquiry? |
| 18508 | And will not she devote a few dollars to rescue a fellow- creature from indigence and infamy and vice? |
| 18508 | And will not such conduct incur more dangerous surmises and suspicions than would arise from acting openly and directly? |
| 18508 | And will she consent, think you?" |
| 18508 | And yet, if it be so, if my friend himself be sick, what will become of me? |
| 18508 | And yet-- is it possible that you are that person?" |
| 18508 | And, now that the conquest is effected, what shall I say? |
| 18508 | And, pray, for what faults do you think she would reject you?" |
| 18508 | And, pray, what benevolent scheme would you propose to her?" |
| 18508 | Anybody dead?" |
| 18508 | Are not these evidences of a compact between them? |
| 18508 | Are the heart and the intelligence within worthy of these features?" |
| 18508 | Are you a sister or daughter in this family, or merely a visitant? |
| 18508 | Are you here? |
| 18508 | Are you not her sister?" |
| 18508 | Are you not mistaken?" |
| 18508 | Are you not well?" |
| 18508 | Are you still willing to invest me with all the rights of an elder sister over this girl? |
| 18508 | Art thou sick? |
| 18508 | Art thou willing to remain here till the morrow? |
| 18508 | Arthur, are not men sometimes too_ wise_ to be happy? |
| 18508 | Arthur, is it you? |
| 18508 | As soon as I perceived it, I said,"Why are you thus grave?" |
| 18508 | At last the husband said,"What think you of the nabob? |
| 18508 | At length it occurred to me to ask, May not this evil be obviated, and the felicity of the Hadwins re- established? |
| 18508 | At length the same lady resumed,"What''s your business? |
| 18508 | At length, advancing to the bed, on the side of which I was now sitting, he addressed me:--"What is this? |
| 18508 | Because my Bess will not be qualified for wedlock in less time, does it follow that I must wait for her?" |
| 18508 | Besides, if the lady were found, would not prudence dictate the reservation of her fortune to be administered by me, for her benefit? |
| 18508 | Besides, on what pretence should I remain? |
| 18508 | But are these all your objections?" |
| 18508 | But first, shall I not, in some way, manifest my gratitude?" |
| 18508 | But how camest thou hither?" |
| 18508 | But how else should I explain my absence? |
| 18508 | But how should I explain my views and state my wishes when an interview was gained? |
| 18508 | But how should I secure this application? |
| 18508 | But how was I to interpose? |
| 18508 | But how was it to be distinguished from the property of others? |
| 18508 | But how was this statement compatible with former representations? |
| 18508 | But how was this to be done? |
| 18508 | But how?" |
| 18508 | But was he not associated with Colvill? |
| 18508 | But was this event to be regretted? |
| 18508 | But were there not some foreign lineaments in his countenance? |
| 18508 | But what of the murdered person? |
| 18508 | But what was the fate reserved for me? |
| 18508 | But where was the messenger to be found? |
| 18508 | But why has he forsaken me? |
| 18508 | But why inquire whence the difference? |
| 18508 | But why should I open afresh wounds which time has imperfectly closed? |
| 18508 | But why should I ruminate, with anguish and doubt, upon the past? |
| 18508 | But why this ominous misgiving just now? |
| 18508 | But will not my behaviour on this occasion be deemed illicit? |
| 18508 | But, first, what is all this writing about?" |
| 18508 | But, if I intended not to resign it to him, was it proper to disclose the truth and explain by whom the volume was purloined from the shelf? |
| 18508 | But, if he should remain, what conduct would his companion pursue? |
| 18508 | But, meanwhile, what was I to do? |
| 18508 | But, pray, what have you for dinner? |
| 18508 | But, should he be able to return, where should he find a retreat? |
| 18508 | By retaining it, shall I not be as culpable as Welbeck? |
| 18508 | By what means would he silence her inquiries? |
| 18508 | By what means, consistently with my own wants and the claims of others, should I secure to him an acceptable subsistence? |
| 18508 | By what miracle came it hither? |
| 18508 | By what miracle escaped the former from the river, into which I had imagined him forever sunk? |
| 18508 | By what motives were those men led hither? |
| 18508 | By what right could she be restrained from intercourse with others? |
| 18508 | By whom, then, was she buried? |
| 18508 | Can Achsa ask what more? |
| 18508 | Can I render her a greater service than to apprize her of the aspersions that have rested on it, and afford her the opportunity of vindication? |
| 18508 | Can any lot be more deplorable than hers? |
| 18508 | Can any other expedient be proper? |
| 18508 | Can any state be more perilous? |
| 18508 | Can he be seen, madam?" |
| 18508 | Can not my feeble efforts obviate some portion of this evil? |
| 18508 | Can not she be admitted to the same asylum to which I am now going?" |
| 18508 | Can not she be saved?" |
| 18508 | Can not you point out some practicable method?" |
| 18508 | Can you help me to improve my girl? |
| 18508 | Can you read this scrawl? |
| 18508 | Can you tell me what has become of it?" |
| 18508 | Considering my situation, would he regard my fears and my surmises as criminal? |
| 18508 | Could I mistake? |
| 18508 | Could I not remove this ignorance? |
| 18508 | Could I not render that life profitable to himself and to mankind? |
| 18508 | Could I rely upon the permanence of her equanimity and her docility to my instructions? |
| 18508 | Could it be he by whom I was betrayed? |
| 18508 | Could not the fate of Wallace be ascertained? |
| 18508 | Could this money be more usefully employed than in alleviating these evils? |
| 18508 | Could you suspect me of so strange a punctilio as that?" |
| 18508 | Did I act illegally in passing from one story and one room to another? |
| 18508 | Did I really deserve the imputations of rashness and insolence? |
| 18508 | Did he meditate to offer a bloody sacrifice? |
| 18508 | Did she suspect my presumption, and is she determined thus to punish me? |
| 18508 | Did you know that person? |
| 18508 | Did you learn needlework from seven years''squatting on a tailor''s board? |
| 18508 | Did you mark how he eyed us when we carried away his wife and daughter? |
| 18508 | Do n''t you hear me?" |
| 18508 | Do not these urge you to make haste to her relief? |
| 18508 | Do the benefits which I have received from the Hadwins demand a less retribution than this? |
| 18508 | Do you deem them virtuous, or know them to be profligate? |
| 18508 | Do you imagine that so obvious an expedient as that of procuring my legal appointment as her guardian was overlooked by me? |
| 18508 | Do you know any thing of----?" |
| 18508 | Do you know the character, profession, and views of your companions? |
| 18508 | Do you know what the duties of a sister are?" |
| 18508 | Do you reside in this house? |
| 18508 | Do you think I can credit your assertions that you keep this money for another, when I recollect that six weeks have passed since you carried it off? |
| 18508 | Do you think I ever shall be happy to that degree which I have imagined? |
| 18508 | Do you think that we would linger here, if the danger were imminent? |
| 18508 | Does he live alone? |
| 18508 | Does not this sweet ingenuousness bewitch you?" |
| 18508 | Does she know the value of affluence and a fair fame? |
| 18508 | Does she not deserve to know the extent of her errors and the ignominy of her trade? |
| 18508 | Does she not merit the compassion of the good and the rebukes of the wise? |
| 18508 | Especially when he talked about riches? |
| 18508 | Even in health my condition was helpless and forlorn; but what would become of me should this fatal malady be contracted? |
| 18508 | Fielding?" |
| 18508 | For what end could a visit like this be paid? |
| 18508 | For what reasons, I asked, was this procedure to be adopted? |
| 18508 | Friends?" |
| 18508 | From yesterday; all then was a joyous calm, and now all is-- but then I knew not my infamy, my guilt----""What words are these, and from you, Arthur? |
| 18508 | Had I acted culpably or not? |
| 18508 | Had I not boasted of my intrepidity in braving denials and commands when they endeavoured to obstruct my passage to this woman? |
| 18508 | Had I not deemed unjustly of her constancy and force of mind? |
| 18508 | Had I not the means in my hands of dispelling her fatal ignorance of Welbeck and of those with whom she resided? |
| 18508 | Had he not called her his daughter? |
| 18508 | Had it not become necessary wholly to lay aside these resolutions? |
| 18508 | Had not you?'' |
| 18508 | Had some new friend sprung up more able or more willing to benefit me than he had been? |
| 18508 | Had the cause of this forfeiture been truly or thoroughly explained? |
| 18508 | Has any thing of an unpleasant nature passed between you and Wortley?" |
| 18508 | Has he parents or brothers?" |
| 18508 | Hast thou shut every avenue to my return to honour? |
| 18508 | Have I been importunate? |
| 18508 | Have I not seen his bank- account? |
| 18508 | Have I not supplied all her wants with incessant solicitude? |
| 18508 | Have you any knowledge of the book? |
| 18508 | Have you arms to receive her? |
| 18508 | Have you family? |
| 18508 | Have you got it? |
| 18508 | Have you it with you?" |
| 18508 | Have you not confessed your love for her?" |
| 18508 | Have you sympathy, protection, and a home to bestow upon a forlorn, betrayed, and unhappy stranger? |
| 18508 | Having finished my narrative, I proceeded thus:--"Can you hesitate to employ that power which was given you for good ends, to rescue this sufferer? |
| 18508 | He addressed me in a tone of mildness:--"Young man,"said he,"what is thy condition? |
| 18508 | He bent forward, and said, in a hoarse and contemptuous tone,"Pray, is your name Mervyn?" |
| 18508 | He seemed on the point of opening his mouth to rebuke me; but, suddenly checking himself, he said, in a tone of mildness,"How is this? |
| 18508 | He shrunk back, and exclaimed, in a feeble voice,"Who are you? |
| 18508 | He spoke in a tone less vehement:--"And hast thou then betrayed me? |
| 18508 | He started, and cried,"Who is there?" |
| 18508 | He turned to me, and said, in a tone of severity,--"How now? |
| 18508 | Headlong and rash as you are, you will not share with this person your knowledge of me?" |
| 18508 | His first emotion was rapturous, but was immediately chastened by some degree of doubt:--"What has become of it? |
| 18508 | His tale could not be the fruit of invention; and yet, what are the bounds of fraud? |
| 18508 | Hold meetings with one of your sex, and give him money for a purpose which I must hide from the world? |
| 18508 | How came friendship and intercourse between Welbeck and him? |
| 18508 | How came she thus? |
| 18508 | How can you reflect upon the situation without irresistible pity? |
| 18508 | How could I endure to look upon the face of one whom I had loaded with such atrocious and intolerable injuries? |
| 18508 | How could you fail to love her? |
| 18508 | How could you help it? |
| 18508 | How did I purpose to dispose of myself? |
| 18508 | How did you lose this portrait? |
| 18508 | How had the remainder been appropriated? |
| 18508 | How might I place it, so that I should effect my intentions without relinquishing the possession during my life? |
| 18508 | How shall I blunt the edge of this calamity, and rescue thee from new evils?" |
| 18508 | How shall I otherwise insure the safe conveyance of these papers?" |
| 18508 | How shall their relationship be ascertained?" |
| 18508 | How shall they be disarmed and eluded, or answered? |
| 18508 | How should I conduct my search? |
| 18508 | How should he be cured of his indolent habits? |
| 18508 | How should he be screened from the contagion of vicious society? |
| 18508 | How should he be the father of an Italian? |
| 18508 | How should my intention be effected? |
| 18508 | How strangely( have you not observed it?) |
| 18508 | How unfortunate? |
| 18508 | How was I to act? |
| 18508 | How was I to act? |
| 18508 | How was I to act? |
| 18508 | How was I to effect my escape from this perilous asylum? |
| 18508 | How was I to profit by her favour? |
| 18508 | How was this course to be pointed out? |
| 18508 | How? |
| 18508 | How? |
| 18508 | I asked him if he knew that his master, or accomplice, or whatever was his relation to him, absconded in my debt? |
| 18508 | I confess my ignorance; but ought not that ignorance to be removed before she makes a part of my family?" |
| 18508 | I could not but admit the reasonableness of these remonstrances; but where should a chamber and bed be sought? |
| 18508 | I could scarcely obtain sufficient courage to speak, and gave a confused assent to the question,"Have you business with me, sir?" |
| 18508 | I could scarcely stifle my emotions sufficiently to ask,"Of whom, sir, do you speak? |
| 18508 | I glided softly to the bed, when the thought occurred, May not the sleeper be a female? |
| 18508 | I had previously concluded to defer going thither till the ensuing morning; but why should I allow myself a moment''s delay? |
| 18508 | I had reason to contemn my own acquisitions; but were not those of Eliza still more slender? |
| 18508 | I inquired in my turn,"Whence originated this question?" |
| 18508 | I leaned over the edge; fixed my eyes upon the water and wept-- plentifully; but why? |
| 18508 | I looked at her with seriousness, and steadfastly spoke:--"Are you the wife of Amos Watson?" |
| 18508 | I must not go: yet what will she think of my failure? |
| 18508 | I must, cost what it will, rein in this upward- pulling, forward- going-- what shall I call it? |
| 18508 | I needed at present a few cents; and what were a few cents to the tenant of a mansion like this? |
| 18508 | I pray, sir, what is it detains him?" |
| 18508 | I should not perish in the public way; but what was my ground for hoping to continue under this roof? |
| 18508 | I stammered out an interrogation:--"Why is this? |
| 18508 | I waited till her vehemence was somewhat subsided, and then said,"What think you of my schemes? |
| 18508 | If Colvill were not here, where had he made his abode? |
| 18508 | If I am ignorant and weak, do I not owe it to the same cause that has made you so? |
| 18508 | If he could regain this house, might I not procure him a physician and perform for him the part of nurse? |
| 18508 | If she be not, whither has she gone? |
| 18508 | If so, what is to be the fate of the money? |
| 18508 | If such were the fate of the master of the family, abounding with money and friends, what could be hoped for the moneyless and friendless Wallace? |
| 18508 | If their treatment has been just, why should I detract from their merit? |
| 18508 | If they receive their own, ought they not to be satisfied?" |
| 18508 | If your intentions had been honest, would you have suffered so long a time to elapse without doing this? |
| 18508 | In defiance of pestilence, are you actuated by some demon to haunt me, like the ghost of my offences, and cover me with shame? |
| 18508 | In what scene should I be exempt from servitude and drudgery? |
| 18508 | In what way are you capable of earning your bread?" |
| 18508 | Is any one within?" |
| 18508 | Is anybody sick?" |
| 18508 | Is he alive? |
| 18508 | Is he dead, or alive?" |
| 18508 | Is he in calamity?" |
| 18508 | Is he near? |
| 18508 | Is he well? |
| 18508 | Is her being Welbeck''s prostitute no proof of her guilt?" |
| 18508 | Is it entire? |
| 18508 | Is it him thee wants? |
| 18508 | Is it not possible to see her?" |
| 18508 | Is it so?" |
| 18508 | Is it worth while to be a dissembler and impostor? |
| 18508 | Is not guilt imputable to an action like this? |
| 18508 | Is she here? |
| 18508 | Is she rich?" |
| 18508 | Is there any deficiency?" |
| 18508 | Is there any thing arduous or mysterious in this undertaking? |
| 18508 | Is there no means of evading your pursuit? |
| 18508 | Is this a place fit to parley with you? |
| 18508 | It is to be presumed that they were bought or stolen, for how else should they have been gotten?" |
| 18508 | It is twilight still; is it not?" |
| 18508 | It was just to restore these bills to their true owner; but how could this be done without hazardous processes and tedious disclosures? |
| 18508 | It was no crime to be without a home; but how should I supply my present cravings and the cravings of to- morrow? |
| 18508 | It was plain that she conceived herself deeply injured by my conduct; and was it absolutely certain that her anger was without reason? |
| 18508 | It was requisite to cross it in order to reach that part of the country whither I was desirous of going; but how should I effect my passage? |
| 18508 | Kindred? |
| 18508 | Know you not that to assist or connive at the escape of this man was wrong? |
| 18508 | Leave the gate without a blessing on your counsellor?'' |
| 18508 | Let it be as I wish, will you? |
| 18508 | Look there,''( offering the stocking to my inspection:)''is it not well done?'' |
| 18508 | May I not accompany you in your journeys and studies, as one friend accompanies another? |
| 18508 | May I not see you, and talk with you, without being your wife? |
| 18508 | May I not share your knowledge, relieve your cares, and enjoy your confidence, as a sister might do? |
| 18508 | May I not, in this respect, conform to their example, and enjoy a similar exemption? |
| 18508 | May I venture to request of you, sir, the loan of sixpence? |
| 18508 | May_ this_ be my heart''s last beat, if I can tell why? |
| 18508 | Meanwhile, how was I to proceed? |
| 18508 | Might I not gain the knowledge of beings whose virtue was the gift of experience and the growth of knowledge? |
| 18508 | Might I not inquire, at one of these, respecting the condition of Thetford''s family? |
| 18508 | Might I not state her situation in a letter to this lady, and urge irresistible pleas for the extension of her kindness to this object? |
| 18508 | Might I not take some measures for obtaining possession, or at least for the security, of these articles? |
| 18508 | Might not a servant, left to take care of the house, a measure usually adopted by the opulent at this time, be seized by the reigning malady? |
| 18508 | Might not contraband articles have been admitted through the management or under the connivance of the brothers? |
| 18508 | Might not these be illustrious fugitives from Provence or the Milanese? |
| 18508 | Might she not easily be accommodated as a boarder in the city, or some village, or in a remote quarter of the country? |
| 18508 | Miss Hetty or Miss Sally? |
| 18508 | Must I dip my hands, a second time, in blood; and dig for you a grave by the side of Watson?" |
| 18508 | Must she then perish? |
| 18508 | My anxiety to know the truth gave pathos and energy to my tones while I spoke:--"Who, where, what are you? |
| 18508 | My curiosity impelled me to call,--"Is there any one within? |
| 18508 | My knowledge will be useless to the world; for by what motives can I be influenced to publish the truth? |
| 18508 | My principles were true; my motives were pure: why should I scruple to avow my principles and vindicate my actions? |
| 18508 | Next to_ Signora Lodi_, whose right can be put in competition with mine? |
| 18508 | No conclusion could be more plausible than that which Williams had drawn; but how should it be rendered certain? |
| 18508 | Not tell where? |
| 18508 | Now could I repeat every word of every conversation that has since taken place between us; but why should I do that on paper? |
| 18508 | Of his mistreatment of his mother, and his elopement with his father''s horse and money?" |
| 18508 | On such a question you and I might, perhaps, easily decide in favour of my brother; but would there not be some danger of deciding partially? |
| 18508 | On what terms will you live with me?" |
| 18508 | Once more I spoke:--"Who is within? |
| 18508 | Perhaps, indeed, thou hast kindred or friends who will take care of thee?" |
| 18508 | Possibly the act of locking had been unnoticed; but was it not likewise possible that this person had been mistaken? |
| 18508 | Pray, did you never knit a stocking?'' |
| 18508 | Presently the same voice was again heard:--"What is it you want? |
| 18508 | Recovering, at length, she said, with a sigh,"What if my father had made no will?" |
| 18508 | Riches, therefore, were his; but in what did his opulence consist, and whence did it arise? |
| 18508 | Said she not that he was in prison and was sick? |
| 18508 | Say you that the child is dead?" |
| 18508 | Shall I call upon him?" |
| 18508 | Shall I describe my thoughts? |
| 18508 | Shall I do this? |
| 18508 | Shall I hie thither to- day, this very hour-- now? |
| 18508 | Shall I not visit and endeavour to console thee in thy distress? |
| 18508 | Shall not something be done to rescue her from infamy and guilt?" |
| 18508 | She burnt the will, did she, because I was named in it,--and sent you to tell me so? |
| 18508 | She could not tell; she believed-- she thought-- which did I want? |
| 18508 | She looked at me, at my entrance, with great eagerness, and said, in a sharp tone,"Pray, friend, what is it you want with me? |
| 18508 | She put her hand on my arm, and said, in a fluttering and hurried accent,"Is my brother sick?" |
| 18508 | She spoke first, and in a startled and anxious voice:--"Who is that?" |
| 18508 | She then inquired,"When and where was it that he died? |
| 18508 | She thought proper, however, to assume the air of one offended, and, looking sternly,--"How now, fellow,"said she,"what is this? |
| 18508 | She who has not been_ only_ a wife----"But why am I indulging this pen- prattle? |
| 18508 | Should I be justified in driving him, by my obstinate refusal, to this fatal consummation of his crimes? |
| 18508 | Should I immure myself in this closet? |
| 18508 | Should I leave her utterly forlorn and friendless? |
| 18508 | Should I leave these persons in uncertainty respecting the fate of a husband and a brother? |
| 18508 | Should I not be arrested as a thief, and conveyed to prison? |
| 18508 | Should I not claim the assistance of the first passenger that appeared? |
| 18508 | Should I not return softly to the outer door, and summon the servant by knocking? |
| 18508 | Should I not withdraw the curtain, awake the person, and encounter at once all the consequences of my situation? |
| 18508 | Should my conductor have disappeared, by design or by accident, and some one of the family should find me here, what would be the consequence? |
| 18508 | Should she be willing to leave this house, whither is it in my power to conduct her? |
| 18508 | Since the door was locked, and there was no other avenue, what other statement but the true one would account for my being found there? |
| 18508 | Still, though it were a female, would not less injury be done by gently interrupting her slumber? |
| 18508 | Such things often happen( do n''t they, Arthur?) |
| 18508 | Suppose I had met the person on his first entrance into his chamber? |
| 18508 | Suppose I should enter Mrs. Villars''s house, desire to be introduced to the lady, accost her with affectionate simplicity, and tell her the truth? |
| 18508 | Talked she not of Welbeck? |
| 18508 | Terrified by phantoms and stained with blood, shall I not exhibit the tokens of a maniac as well as an assassin? |
| 18508 | That I received from the hand of his assassin the letter which I afterwards transmitted to her? |
| 18508 | That I was a sort of witness to the murder of her husband? |
| 18508 | The question now occurred, with painful repetition, who and what was Welbeck? |
| 18508 | The question which others might ask, I have asked myself:--Was I not in love? |
| 18508 | Think you I shall ever meet with an exact copy of_ yourself_?" |
| 18508 | This event was precluded by loud knocks at the street door, and calls by some one on the pavement without, of--"Who is within? |
| 18508 | This motion, which was made by the husband, awaked his companion, who exclaimed,"What is the matter?" |
| 18508 | This was instantly performed; but what was next to be done? |
| 18508 | Thus did she tender me herself; and was not the gift to be received with eagerness and gratitude? |
| 18508 | To be the medium of her charity?" |
| 18508 | To have meditated all crimes, and to have perpetrated the worst? |
| 18508 | To her father''s property? |
| 18508 | To my question, Was Mrs. Maurice to be seen? |
| 18508 | To restore it to them is the obvious proceeding-- but how? |
| 18508 | To whom could I apply for protection or employment? |
| 18508 | To whom did that bundle belong? |
| 18508 | To whom ought these disclosures to be made? |
| 18508 | Tom is my brother, but who can be supposed to answer for a brother''s integrity? |
| 18508 | Villars?" |
| 18508 | Wallace is friendless and succourless; but can not I supply to him the place of protector and nurse? |
| 18508 | Was I not authorized, by my previous though slender intercourse, to seek her presence? |
| 18508 | Was I not in love? |
| 18508 | Was I sure to escape from the consequences of this deed? |
| 18508 | Was Mr. Capper expected to return hither in the morning? |
| 18508 | Was Mrs. Villars at home? |
| 18508 | Was he not one in whose place I would willingly have died? |
| 18508 | Was his imposture a jestful or a wicked one? |
| 18508 | Was his own death or was mine to attest the magnitude of his despair or the impetuosity of his vengeance? |
| 18508 | Was it a casual suggestion, or was there an actual resemblance between the strokes of the pencil which executed this portrait and that of Clavering? |
| 18508 | Was it he who died in that bed, and whose corpse has just been removed?" |
| 18508 | Was it my companion, or a stranger? |
| 18508 | Was it not possible for me to alleviate their pangs? |
| 18508 | Was it not possible that part of Lodi''s property might be enclosed within the leaves of this volume? |
| 18508 | Was it not sufficient to write him briefly these particulars, and leave him to profit by the knowledge? |
| 18508 | Was it possible for me to be mistaken? |
| 18508 | Was it right to act in this clandestine and mysterious manner? |
| 18508 | Was it the abruptness of this vision that thus confounded me? |
| 18508 | Was it yours?" |
| 18508 | Was my existence embellished with enjoyments that would justify my holding it, encumbered with hardships and immersed in obscurity? |
| 18508 | Was not some treachery designed? |
| 18508 | Was not the end disproportioned to the means? |
| 18508 | Was she connected in any way, by friendship or by consanguinity, with that unfortunate youth? |
| 18508 | Was she not the substitute of my lost mamma? |
| 18508 | Was she offended at my negligence? |
| 18508 | Was she sick and disabled from going, or had she changed her mind? |
| 18508 | Was the truth so utterly wild as not to have found credit? |
| 18508 | Was there any tribunal that would not acquit him on merely hearing his defence? |
| 18508 | Was there arrogance in believing my life a price too great to be given for his? |
| 18508 | Was this a confirmation of my first conjecture? |
| 18508 | Was this an act of such transcendent disinterestedness as to be incredible? |
| 18508 | Was this the woman with whom my reason enjoined me to blend my fate, without the power of dissolution? |
| 18508 | Were any of her daughters within? |
| 18508 | Were they not susceptible of two constructions? |
| 18508 | What am I to tell her? |
| 18508 | What brings you here?" |
| 18508 | What business have you here?" |
| 18508 | What but fiery indignation and unappeasable vengeance could lead him into my presence? |
| 18508 | What can I do to make you happier? |
| 18508 | What can I tell her of the Villars which she does not already know, or of which the knowledge will be useful? |
| 18508 | What carried them there?" |
| 18508 | What condition was ever parallel to mine? |
| 18508 | What conduct was incumbent upon me who possessed this knowledge? |
| 18508 | What could I fear from the arts of such a one? |
| 18508 | What did I design? |
| 18508 | What did I fear? |
| 18508 | What did I hope? |
| 18508 | What did I think ought to be done? |
| 18508 | What effects will my appearance produce on the spectator? |
| 18508 | What else has he been?" |
| 18508 | What end could be served by this behaviour? |
| 18508 | What excuse could I make for begging a breakfast with an inn at hand and silver in my pocket? |
| 18508 | What expedient could I honestly adopt to justify my absence, and what employments could I substitute for those precious hours hitherto devoted to her? |
| 18508 | What gentleman can have any thing to do with Polly?" |
| 18508 | What had I found? |
| 18508 | What has become of him? |
| 18508 | What has become of him?" |
| 18508 | What has happened? |
| 18508 | What has happened?" |
| 18508 | What have I to do with that dauntless yet guiltless front? |
| 18508 | What have you done?" |
| 18508 | What have you to say to me? |
| 18508 | What hindered me from pursuing the footsteps of Hadwin with all the expedition which my uneasiness, of brain and stomach, would allow? |
| 18508 | What impediments were there between me and liberty which I could not remove, and remove with so much caution as to escape notice? |
| 18508 | What inquiries shall be made of me? |
| 18508 | What is here?" |
| 18508 | What is his family?" |
| 18508 | What is it that brings you here at this hour? |
| 18508 | What is that? |
| 18508 | What is the difference, and whence comes it? |
| 18508 | What is the fate of Mr. Hadwin and of Wallace?" |
| 18508 | What is the league between you? |
| 18508 | What is the matter? |
| 18508 | What is your objection?" |
| 18508 | What mean you by a hint of this kind?" |
| 18508 | What more remains? |
| 18508 | What motive could incite me to bury myself in rustic obscurity? |
| 18508 | What motive, I asked, could induce a human being to inflict wanton injury? |
| 18508 | What now was the destiny that awaited the lost and friendless Mademoiselle Lodi? |
| 18508 | What perplexities, misunderstandings, and suspenses might not grow out of this uncertainty? |
| 18508 | What power does that give him?" |
| 18508 | What proof have I of that? |
| 18508 | What proposal, conducive to her comfort and her safety, could I make to her? |
| 18508 | What provision could I make against the evils that threatened her? |
| 18508 | What qualities were requisite in the governor of such an institution? |
| 18508 | What remained but to encounter or endure its consequences with unshrinking firmness? |
| 18508 | What service can I do for you? |
| 18508 | What shall I compare it to? |
| 18508 | What shall I say to her? |
| 18508 | What shall I say? |
| 18508 | What should I infer from this incident? |
| 18508 | What suspicions will she harbour? |
| 18508 | What then must I have felt, scorched and dazzled by the sun, sustained by hard boards, and borne for miles over a rugged pavement? |
| 18508 | What then? |
| 18508 | What then? |
| 18508 | What think you?" |
| 18508 | What tidings, what fearful tidings, do you bring?" |
| 18508 | What was I to think? |
| 18508 | What was his relation to this foreign lady? |
| 18508 | What was it that saved me from a like fate? |
| 18508 | What was next to be done? |
| 18508 | What was now to be done? |
| 18508 | What was the fate reserved for me? |
| 18508 | What was the service for which I was to be employed? |
| 18508 | What was there irksome or offensive in my present mode of life? |
| 18508 | What were the limits by which it was confined, and what its degree of permanence? |
| 18508 | What would you do?" |
| 18508 | What''s thee business? |
| 18508 | What, I asked, was the merchant''s name? |
| 18508 | What, he asked, had occurred to suggest this new plan? |
| 18508 | What-- pray tell me, what can I do?" |
| 18508 | When died she, and how, and where was she buried? |
| 18508 | When have you seen him?" |
| 18508 | When her situation and wants are ascertained, will you supply her wants? |
| 18508 | When shall I expect to meet you at home?" |
| 18508 | Whence come you?" |
| 18508 | Where do they abide?" |
| 18508 | Where does this letter you promised me stay all this while? |
| 18508 | Where is he? |
| 18508 | Where should I look for this man? |
| 18508 | Where was he born and educated? |
| 18508 | Where was she concealed? |
| 18508 | Where, I asked, had Wallace and his companion parted? |
| 18508 | Where? |
| 18508 | Who can avoid asking, Where have these papers been deposited all this while, and how came this person in possession of them?" |
| 18508 | Who can love you and serve you as well as I? |
| 18508 | Who is this girl? |
| 18508 | Who is this woman, and how can I serve her?" |
| 18508 | Who then, saucebox? |
| 18508 | Who was the nymph who had hovered for a moment in my sight? |
| 18508 | Who was there by whom such powerful claims to succour and protection could be urged as by this desolate girl? |
| 18508 | Who will open his house to the fugitive? |
| 18508 | Who wilt thou find to undertake the office? |
| 18508 | Who''s thee want?" |
| 18508 | Who, I asked, was the gentleman? |
| 18508 | Who, thought I, is this nabob who counts his dollars by half- millions, and on whom it seems as if some fraud was intended to be practised? |
| 18508 | Why am I called to this place? |
| 18508 | Why am I not alone? |
| 18508 | Why are you so much afraid to subject his innocence to this test? |
| 18508 | Why be anxious to smooth the way? |
| 18508 | Why come you hither?" |
| 18508 | Why did he continue in the study when Welbeck had departed? |
| 18508 | Why did you not inform me by letter of your arrival at Malverton, and of what occurred during your absence? |
| 18508 | Why do n''t you answer? |
| 18508 | Why do n''t you speak? |
| 18508 | Why do you ask? |
| 18508 | Why does he linger behind you? |
| 18508 | Why does he remain?" |
| 18508 | Why does she suspect me of artifice? |
| 18508 | Why does_ her_ name, particularly, make you thoughtful, disturbed, dejected? |
| 18508 | Why fluctuate, why linger, when so much good may be done, and no evil can possibly be incurred? |
| 18508 | Why had I suffered him to depart, and whither had he gone? |
| 18508 | Why have you not sought the owner and restored it to her? |
| 18508 | Why might not another be induced like me to hide himself in this desolate retreat? |
| 18508 | Why not go thither now? |
| 18508 | Why not hasten to the city, search out his abode, and ascertain whether he be living or dead? |
| 18508 | Why not seek her there, and rid myself at once of this agonizing suspense? |
| 18508 | Why not? |
| 18508 | Why shall I not anticipate their consent, and present myself to their embraces and their welcomes in her company?" |
| 18508 | Why should I hesitate a moment to annihilate so powerful a cause of error and guilt? |
| 18508 | Why should I not lay my soul open before my new friend? |
| 18508 | Why should I subject his frailty to this temptation? |
| 18508 | Why should I think ill of you for despising me, when I despise myself?" |
| 18508 | Why should I wait for her return? |
| 18508 | Why should I_ not_ be with you? |
| 18508 | Why should he be supposed to be insensible to my claims upon his kindness? |
| 18508 | Why should she complain? |
| 18508 | Why should we cross the river? |
| 18508 | Why should you risk your safety for the sake of one whom your kindness can not benefit, and who has nothing to give in return?" |
| 18508 | Why then should I scruple to lay down my life in the cause of virtue and humanity? |
| 18508 | Why this catching of the breath? |
| 18508 | Why this sobbing? |
| 18508 | Why will he not return?" |
| 18508 | Why will you deprive yourself of such a comforter and such an aid as I would be to you? |
| 18508 | Why, I asked, did she weep? |
| 18508 | Will I not appear to lose as well as himself? |
| 18508 | Will he return to me?" |
| 18508 | Will it not behoove me to cultivate all my virtues and eradicate all my defects? |
| 18508 | Will not this conjecture sufficiently account for it? |
| 18508 | Will she be a sister, a protectress, to Clemenza? |
| 18508 | Will you be, yourself, an example of beneficence? |
| 18508 | Will you exhort her to a deed of charity? |
| 18508 | Will you go with me to Welbeck?" |
| 18508 | Will you go?" |
| 18508 | Will you let me?" |
| 18508 | Will you let me?" |
| 18508 | Will you not disclose it to us? |
| 18508 | Will you pardon this intrusion, and condescend to grant me your attention?" |
| 18508 | Will you permit me to go on?" |
| 18508 | Will you rescue her from evils that may attend her continuance here?" |
| 18508 | Will you wonder that the design of entering this recess was insensibly formed? |
| 18508 | Will you, for money or for charity, allow him a place in your chaise, and set him down where I shall direct?" |
| 18508 | Will you?'' |
| 18508 | William Hadwin they knew to have been some time dead; but where were the girls, his daughters? |
| 18508 | With that foolishly- confiding and obsequious, yet erect and unconquerable, spirit? |
| 18508 | With what heart could I listen to his invectives? |
| 18508 | With what pretences, or appearances, or promises, she was won to compliance?" |
| 18508 | Without desiring me to be seated, or relaxing aught in her asperity of looks and tones,--"Pray, friend, how did you_ come by_ these papers?" |
| 18508 | Would I not have clasped that beloved shade? |
| 18508 | Would a stranger refuse to lend the pittance that I wanted? |
| 18508 | Would it benefit her reputation? |
| 18508 | Would it not molest and disquiet you to observe in her a passion for another?" |
| 18508 | Would it prove her love of independence?" |
| 18508 | Would not some benefit redound to her from beneficent and seasonable interposition? |
| 18508 | Would not this sum enable me to gather round me all the instruments of pleasure? |
| 18508 | Would not time unfold qualities in her which I did not at present suspect, and which would evince an incurable difference in our minds? |
| 18508 | Would she drop the subject at the point which it had now attained? |
| 18508 | Would they be found, I asked, in the upper room? |
| 18508 | Would this have been the case if the door were unlocked? |
| 18508 | Would you go to Baltimore?" |
| 18508 | Yet is not that a hasty decision? |
| 18508 | Yet why should I disturb them by inquiries so impertinent at this unseasonable hour? |
| 18508 | You are poor: are these impediments?" |
| 18508 | Your approbation is of some moment: do you approve of them or not?" |
| 18508 | and did I not pant after the irrevocable bounds, the boundless privileges, of wedlock? |
| 18508 | and ought they not to be precluded at any hazard to my own safety or good name? |
| 18508 | and what is your business?" |
| 18508 | and what, but a compact in iniquity, could bind together such men? |
| 18508 | and will not the same means which promote your improvement be likewise useful to me? |
| 18508 | and, from the same hands, the bills contained in his girdle? |
| 18508 | call you a thousand dollars competence?" |
| 18508 | continued Williams, suddenly recollecting himself;"have you claimed the reward promised to him who should restore these bills?" |
| 18508 | continued he, looking around him;"and whence comest thou?" |
| 18508 | continued he, looking up, and observing me standing a few paces distant, and listening to their discourse;"what''s wanted? |
| 18508 | dead? |
| 18508 | he exclaimed, in a transport of fury,"a''n''t I master of my own house? |
| 18508 | he had promised secrecy, and would, by no means, betray him? |
| 18508 | how wouldst thou have fared, if Heaven had not sent me to thy succour? |
| 18508 | let it be so, will you? |
| 18508 | or is my scene indebted for variety and change to my propensity to look into other people''s concerns, and to make their sorrows and their joys mine? |
| 18508 | said I,"what ails you? |
| 18508 | said I,( her eye, still averted, seemed to hold back the tear with difficulty, and she made a motion as if to rise,)"have I grieved you? |
| 18508 | said I;"do you mean that he is dead?" |
| 18508 | said I;"has all this miserable pageantry, this midnight wandering, and this ominous interview, been no more than--_a dream_?" |
| 18508 | said I;"of what moment can my opinions be to her?" |
| 18508 | said he, in a tone of disappointment,"you then saw the lady?" |
| 18508 | she exclaimed, with increasing vehemence;"where did you meet with him? |
| 18508 | she exclaimed,"are you Watson?" |
| 18508 | she repeated,"what brings you here?" |
| 18508 | was it a latent error in my moral constitution, which this new conjuncture drew forth into influence? |
| 18508 | what have I done? |
| 18508 | what have you done?" |
| 18508 | what mean you? |
| 18508 | what shall I do for thy relief? |
| 18508 | where are you?" |
| 18508 | who''s this that comes into other people''s houses without so much as saying''by your leave''? |
| 18508 | why deal in apologies, circuities, and innuendoes? |
| 18508 | why do n''t you do as I bid you?" |
| 18508 | why do you stay here?" |
| 18508 | will you compel me to call the gentlemen?" |
| 18508 | would you do thus? |
| 18508 | you come to tell me that she burnt the will, and is going to administer-- to what, I beseech you? |
