| 27099 | He replied,"Know nothing about the gentlemen mentioned; why do n''t you stand yourself?" |
| 27099 | He said,"I am his brother; he has bullock cars, has n''t he?" |
| 27099 | I asked"Where?" |
| 27099 | I crawled through, and when I reached the lodge gates, I was asked by a policeman stationed there, if I had been to Government House? |
| 27099 | I said,"Are you sure?" |
| 27099 | I then asked,"What are you firing at?" |
| 27099 | It was laughable to see men take a bottle out of their pocket, saying,"Have a nip, mate, it''s only five shillings a bottle?" |

| 27169 | Ah, what is love? 27169 And I suppose spent their money too, like real gentleman, eh, Dick?" |
| 27169 | And how much had they spent individually do you think? |
| 27169 | And what is your corroboree for, Jemmy? |
| 27169 | But do you not think, my dear sir,said William,"that some means could be devised to cultivate a feeling of prudence in these men? |
| 27169 | But how on earth could one man spend twenty pounds in a week, by merely drinking? |
| 27169 | But why should they not be? |
| 27169 | But, my good man, what necessity is there for you to go away from the station? 27169 By the gent as tried to take his horse over it?" |
| 27169 | Do you think that is any reason why the scoundrel should escape? |
| 27169 | Have you been long in this part of the country? |
| 27169 | Have you had any exploits lately, Dick,said he,"similar to that which I witnessed on the first night I stopped here? |
| 27169 | I suppose we can come and see your corroboree, if we like, Dugingi? |
| 27169 | I''ve often thought I would n''t mind that sort o''thing, sir; but where do you think I would get a young woman as''d look at the likes of me? 27169 In joyous youth, what soul hath never known, Thought, feeling, taste, harmonious to its own? |
| 27169 | Inconvenience? |
| 27169 | Is it so, Miss Rainsfield? |
| 27169 | No, my Kate, I do not,replied William,"but what does it signify? |
| 27169 | Pray if you know Where in the purlieus of this forest stands A sheep cote? |
| 27169 | Probably it was the intention of the whole party to go down the country until they came here; do n''t you think so, Dick? |
| 27169 | She really is a charming girl,he mentally exclaimed;"but why am I continually thinking of her? |
| 27169 | Then, I suppose, you will retain your place, and renew your engagement when your year is up? |
| 27169 | Well, Jemmy,said John Ferguson,"and what may be your pleasure? |
| 27169 | Well, but, Willie, you say the country is quite unoccupied: will not the natives be dreadfully wild, and easily provoked to commit some horrible act? 27169 What could have induced him to be so rude? |
| 27169 | What is the meaning of this? |
| 27169 | What, Eleanor fainted? |
| 27169 | Are they nice people, Willie? |
| 27169 | But tell me,"said she, as her usual smile returned to its wonted place,"how long shall we be before we arrive at Strawberry Hill?" |
| 27169 | But, Willie, Mr. Wigton tells us the blacks are very troublesome down where you are going: will there be any danger in living there?" |
| 27169 | But, Willie, do you know Mr. Wigton is stopping with us just now, and he has been kind enough to promise to accompany us?" |
| 27169 | Ferguson?" |
| 27169 | Have you any idea, Will?" |
| 27169 | He tells me, too, that he expects his sister is coming to place herself under your bachelor protection: is such the case? |
| 27169 | How can you punish, sirs, with such severity a poor, ignorant black, whose offence has been so trifling, that no honourable man would notice it? |
| 27169 | How could he act a part of coldness or indifference, when she enchanted him with her kindest manner, and gladdened his heart with her sweetest smile? |
| 27169 | I s''pose ye know, sir, that''ere gent, Mr. Smith, what the''orse belonged to, is dead?" |
| 27169 | I treated them well; gave them plenty of rations, and blankets on cold nights; so why did they run away? |
| 27169 | Is it possible your troth is plighted to another? |
| 27169 | It was clear the possession of this treasure was never for him; then why should he allow her to retain dominion in his mind? |
| 27169 | Notice the colonial debt of between two and three millions, and say how was it contracted? |
| 27169 | Now tell me, my pet, what I have done to be left standing outside my father''s house? |
| 27169 | Pray, how might that have happened?" |
| 27169 | The impudent fellow, what does he mean by that, Will?" |
| 27169 | The revenue derivable from the districts, is annually swept into the Sydney treasury; and I would ask, with what return? |
| 27169 | Thus they sat for some minutes, when Eleanor broke the silence by remarking,"What can have become of those truants?" |
| 27169 | Was it not in the construction of Sydney sewers, Sydney water- works, and the Sydney railway? |
| 27169 | What extraordinary influence is it that induces you to spend your earnings as soon as you get them?" |
| 27169 | What made them leave me? |
| 27169 | What then was left for him? |
| 27169 | What was he to do? |
| 27169 | What would you propose we should do with him?" |
| 27169 | Who hath not paused while Beauty''s pensive eye Asked from his heart the homage of a sigh?" |
| 27169 | Why should he entertain one thought of her? |
| 27169 | Wigton?" |
| 27169 | Will you tell me?" |
| 27169 | Would it not be better to avoid any risk, by getting a station in some more settled part of the country?" |
| 27169 | but I am sure they must be, or you would n''t like them; but do tell me what sort of a girl Miss Rainsfield is? |
| 27169 | can that be? |
| 27169 | can they not be induced to abandon their suicidal extravagance?" |
| 27169 | replied Mrs. Rainsfield;"who ever heard of inconvenience in the bush? |
| 27169 | speak, Eleanor, is it not so?" |
| 27169 | to what may we attribute the honour of your visit?" |
| 36340 | An''-phwat- wud- they- be- afther- callin''-the- good- soup- in- yeer- counthry? |
| 36340 | And is the soup not t''yer liking, sirr? |
| 36340 | Are n''t you turning- in to- night? |
| 36340 | B- but what am I to do with it? |
| 36340 | Can I put another truck in, sir? |
| 36340 | Cheero, bloke,says he;"I b''lieve you''re goin''to settle out''ere?" |
| 36340 | Comin''in to breakfast? |
| 36340 | Dunno about that; but are you game for a stroll ashore? |
| 36340 | Hello, Crafter-- that you? 36340 Hello, Senex, you here again?" |
| 36340 | How about 48? |
| 36340 | How to get out of this damn ship without leaving my money behind? |
| 36340 | Mr. O''Gorman,I bleated,"did anyone ever really_ live_ here?" |
| 36340 | Ready for fumigation, mister? |
| 36340 | Sydney? |
| 36340 | Think we''d better stop home? |
| 36340 | Vell, ma''am,said Olaf,"do you know fot dey gall dis stupf een_ my_ contree?" |
| 36340 | W- why, is n''t that Ah Chi, Chinatown? |
| 36340 | Want me to give you one o''m''boots to mend it with? 36340 Well, what are you going to do about tucker?" |
| 36340 | What the devil''s that? |
| 36340 | What you got, Bill? |
| 36340 | What''s up, Bill? |
| 36340 | What''s wrong, Franz? |
| 36340 | Yes, sir; and what can I get for you? |
| 36340 | Yes; but,said the bore,"have you ever been there?" |
| 36340 | You''ll be Mr. Senex? 36340 You? |
| 36340 | Another? |
| 36340 | Barker:"''Ow could I?" |
| 36340 | Can you wonder at the men going on the drunk? |
| 36340 | Do you think I could get employment? |
| 36340 | Er-- did it hurt?" |
| 36340 | Ever see a cow grin? |
| 36340 | Ever try to carry thirty pounds or so of liquid in a sixteen- pound can, all smooth and polished tinned steel? |
| 36340 | Finally I chose one and a keeper; then--"May I congratulate you?" |
| 36340 | Fot brandt is''e?" |
| 36340 | Got''ny tucker?" |
| 36340 | Have you your papers? |
| 36340 | How do I get it?" |
| 36340 | How do I get to it?" |
| 36340 | How the Sheol am I to get another man in your place?" |
| 36340 | How''s her head?" |
| 36340 | However----"Noo chum, ai n''t yer?" |
| 36340 | I can get to my station to- night easy?" |
| 36340 | I imagine his surprise, and presumably pleasure, on hearing through the telephone a sweet feminine voice,"Is that Archie?" |
| 36340 | I wo n''t say anything about the strike, but, well-- a pound a week and tucker is n''t much, now is it? |
| 36340 | I''m makin''myself popular, ai n''t I?" |
| 36340 | Is it?" |
| 36340 | Is it?" |
| 36340 | Is n''t this just A1 at Lloyd''s?" |
| 36340 | It was a doleful ditty; something about"Why did they sell Killarney?" |
| 36340 | Just come up?" |
| 36340 | Now, where the dickens do these blokes get to during a dry spell? |
| 36340 | OLD PARDY:"So yeh''ve got married? |
| 36340 | Orchards? |
| 36340 | Paddy:"Was they? |
| 36340 | Quoth Archie:"What the devil are you talking about, madame?" |
| 36340 | Senex?" |
| 36340 | Sleep? |
| 36340 | So this is the famous Atherton country, eh? |
| 36340 | The old, old saggy- kneed animal would look"noble"when he picked up a bit; he showed quality, did n''t he now? |
| 36340 | Then a wail,"W- where''s me fish?" |
| 36340 | Then is Bill seen slouching shamefacedly up to Ethel or Maude,"''Ow erbout gittin''up with us f''r this one?" |
| 36340 | Then the captain--"Where''s the second engineer? |
| 36340 | They go through the dance amid a fire of such witticisms as,"''Ello, Bill, when''s it comin''orf?" |
| 36340 | Towns? |
| 36340 | Well, why dinyer stop''em? |
| 36340 | Wer''s me bullicks?" |
| 36340 | What better omen could the most superstitious desire? |
| 36340 | What on earth could I do with it to make a living? |
| 36340 | What say we clear out and go up country, eh?" |
| 36340 | What''r''ye makin''such a fuss for?" |
| 36340 | What''s happened?" |
| 36340 | What''s the matter with my left arm? |
| 36340 | What? |
| 36340 | When will we get sense enough to hang instantly anyone describing himself as an importer? |
| 36340 | Who''d sell a farm to go to sea? |
| 36340 | Will it_ ever_ rain again? |
| 36340 | Y''ll only be about twenty minutes or so, eh? |
| 36340 | while Maude, with high disdain, answers,"D''y''think I''d''ave him? |
| 37559 | And Eleanor,said Rainsfield;"what is her fate?" |
| 37559 | And how much do their''piles''consist of? |
| 37559 | And what did your brother do with his money after having so much of it and his time wasted in looking after this land? |
| 37559 | And who is the gentleman, my lad? |
| 37559 | And will the poor girl he last married have no redress? |
| 37559 | Are honour, virtue, conscience, all exiled; Is there no pity, no relenting Ruth? |
| 37559 | But do n''t you often lose your money? 37559 But is the river crossable?" |
| 37559 | But tell me, John, what could have brought that man Smithers here? 37559 But, massa, you let me come now with you? |
| 37559 | But, surely, John, you do not intend to accept the challenge? |
| 37559 | Could they not buy a piece of land and commence farming? 37559 Do you not think so, John?" |
| 37559 | Eleanor has met with an accident,she hurriedly replied,"and I want the doctor; is he here?" |
| 37559 | Have you not insulted me by cajoling from my presence a gentleman, who is my friend and visitor, to basely assault him? 37559 Have you, Kate?" |
| 37559 | How can you say that? |
| 37559 | I do n''t like to go in this figure, Will,said Kate;"do you think we shall be able to find any water- hole on the road where I could wash my face?" |
| 37559 | I shall do nothing of the sort, madam,replied Smithers,"your husband I presume is the master of this house?" |
| 37559 | I should n''t think you did much business here? |
| 37559 | Is Miss Eleanor very bad, Mary? |
| 37559 | Is Mr. Rainsfield down at your father''s house? |
| 37559 | It can not be too soon, my dear,exclaimed the advocate for despatch;"why postpone our happiness?" |
| 37559 | No but, Will, dear,persisted Kate,"do tell me; is my face really dirty? |
| 37559 | Prejudiced against Smithers, John? |
| 37559 | Rainsfield is dead, did you say? |
| 37559 | Tell me,said she,"what are you laughing at; is my face dirty?" |
| 37559 | Then why sacrifice your own life? |
| 37559 | They intend to kill me, do they? 37559 To whom?" |
| 37559 | Well, Will,said Kate,"why are you still standing staring at us? |
| 37559 | Well, my good friend,asked Tom,"what is to prevent others settling in the town besides Tom Brown?" |
| 37559 | What shall I do? 37559 What sport shall we devise, here in this garden, To drive away the heavy thought of care?" |
| 37559 | Where are they, do you think, Joey? |
| 37559 | Why, what would be the good of it? |
| 37559 | Will massa let me go with him? |
| 37559 | You do n''t answer me, John,said she,"what am I to consider you think of his conduct?" |
| 37559 | You no hear, massa? |
| 37559 | A long loud shriek-- and silence-- did they hear That frantic echo burst the sleeping ear?" |
| 37559 | As Smithers left the room Rainsfield took a seat beside his wife and said:"Well, my dear, what is the cause of all this? |
| 37559 | Axing your pardon, sir, I suppose you''re a squatter?" |
| 37559 | Bael you swim, masser? |
| 37559 | Because you generate lies yourself do you think she is capable of uttering falsehoods? |
| 37559 | Billing, and attempt the work of conciliation?" |
| 37559 | But could she give him hope? |
| 37559 | But how am I to believe this?" |
| 37559 | But must we discover the truth? |
| 37559 | But what for do you think, Mr. Rainsfield, I want to do you harm? |
| 37559 | But what letter is that you have got in your hand?" |
| 37559 | But where could they be camped? |
| 37559 | But why did n''t you retaliate, or wait for him till after the ball, and then have given him a good sound horse- whipping?" |
| 37559 | Ca n''t you take me somewhere, where I can get my face clean before I show myself?" |
| 37559 | Can mortals ever be rescued from the fearful infatuation of drink? |
| 37559 | Did she think she loved him? |
| 37559 | Eleanor swooned? |
| 37559 | Ferguson?" |
| 37559 | Ferguson?" |
| 37559 | How many has this very feeling ruined, and will continue to ruin for succeeding ages, who can tell? |
| 37559 | I have already ordered you to leave the house; do you intend to obey me?" |
| 37559 | I need not ask if she is well as that I am sure of?" |
| 37559 | I suppose there would be no use in my asking you to stay and take pot- luck with us in the friendly way, Mr. Ferguson? |
| 37559 | I think you know all our friends here?" |
| 37559 | If the girl had fainted it was a pity, but what influence had he over her syncope? |
| 37559 | If you will be good enough to step this way, sir? |
| 37559 | Instantly leave this house, sir, do you hear me? |
| 37559 | Is he to continue doing so?" |
| 37559 | May I ask who are those who would not accept of what hospitality I can offer them?" |
| 37559 | Rainsfield?" |
| 37559 | See, who is that on the verandah? |
| 37559 | She suspected he loved her; she read it in his eyes; but she feared to ask herself the question, Was the feeling reciprocated? |
| 37559 | Should he accept the black''s invitation? |
| 37559 | Smithers?" |
| 37559 | That she did not love him, nor he her, she was convinced; then why not accept the love of John Ferguson? |
| 37559 | Then, turning to her husband, Mrs. Rainsfield said in a voice almost choking with passion:"John, will you not assist and support me? |
| 37559 | Thinkest thou that it is woman''s only province to forgive? |
| 37559 | Upon his return he led the way to her room; and, as Rainsfield followed him, he asked,"Why did n''t you bring your friends up with you to the house?" |
| 37559 | Was it in fear? |
| 37559 | We say, Mrs. Rainsfield was justly frightened at the appearance of the poor girl, and she asked in an agitated manner:"What is this? |
| 37559 | We think we hear some of our readers enquire,"how were the ladies dressed?" |
| 37559 | What further stimulus could John have had for his fears? |
| 37559 | What is the use of the poor man saving his money? |
| 37559 | Why had she not warned him in time? |
| 37559 | Will you go, and at once, Will?" |
| 37559 | Yet, knowing all this, thinkest thou that woman, frail confiding woman, could trust thee as her mundane protector? |
| 37559 | and is this too the work of that viper, Smithers?" |
| 37559 | can you stand before me with such barefaced effrontery, and tell me such an unequivocal falsehood?" |
| 37559 | could she encourage him in his love? |
| 37559 | cried William,"my dear brother, where are you hit?" |
| 37559 | enquired John in hurried tones;"is life perfectly extinct?" |
| 37559 | exclaimed John;"what is that for?" |
| 37559 | have you been visited by a myth? |
| 37559 | or I''ll--""Pray, what is the matter, my dear?" |
| 37559 | or will reason ever inculcate in the mind of man the virtue of temperance, so as to use without abusing the gifts of a bountiful providence? |
| 37559 | replied the black,"but that very ugly capsize, how''em happen?" |
| 37559 | supposing you cross river, and supposing black fellows fight with Misser Rainsfield, what you can do? |
| 37559 | tell me, dear Kate, what has happened to cause your return alone?" |
| 37559 | to leave his wife, to leave his babes, His mansion, and his titles in a place From whence himself does fly?" |
| 37559 | what cruel fate has put you in this awful predicament?" |
| 37559 | what does it mean?" |
| 37559 | what fearful thing has happened?" |
| 37559 | what is the good of the whole of us sitting here and looking at one another? |
| 37559 | what is the matter? |
| 37559 | what shall I do?" |
| 37559 | what shall we do?" |
| 37559 | what would I not give to see her safe out of his clutches? |
| 37559 | why do n''t you take the horses away?" |
| 37559 | why not forsworn the pleasure to which she had no claim? |
| 51704 | ''Do n''t you hear anything, my love?'' 51704 ''No,''she replied, sir,''what do you mean, James? |
| 51704 | ''What on earth is the matter, James?'' 51704 And pray, sir, what did you mean by that?" |
| 51704 | And you did n''t even ask for me? |
| 51704 | But I am, my love,said he;"how could I be otherwise?" |
| 51704 | But did n''t you ask for us? |
| 51704 | But tell me, Billing,enquired the suddenly created philanthropist,"how was the store entered? |
| 51704 | But tell me, Will,said she,"what made you rush in in such a hurry; was it to frighten us?" |
| 51704 | But why kill me? |
| 51704 | But,said Brown,"how have you managed to establish such a wholesome dread of the bench in the minds of your men? |
| 51704 | But,said William,"you surely are not going to leave your wife and daughter alone, while you go back to the Downs for your flocks? |
| 51704 | Did you say,asked Tom,"that the gins and piccaninies only eat the damper? |
| 51704 | Do n''t you think, my good man,said Mr. Wigton,"it''s rather a sin to indulge too freely in its use? |
| 51704 | Do you mean to answer me at all, you black thief? |
| 51704 | Do you not think, my dear sir,said Rainsfield,"some good might be done by sending some one over to warn them of their danger?" |
| 51704 | Do you want anything to drink? |
| 51704 | Frighten you, my pet? |
| 51704 | Hang the immoral influence, as you call it,exclaimed the Doctor;"whose morals are they going to effect, I should like to know? |
| 51704 | How have you fulfilled the government requisitions to your assigned servants? 51704 How so?" |
| 51704 | I am grieved to hear of your quarrel,remarked Mr. Wigton;"how did it occur? |
| 51704 | I am his Highness''dog at Kew, Pray, tell me, sir, whose dog are you? |
| 51704 | I believe it belongs to a chap of the name of Rainsfield, do n''t it? |
| 51704 | I say, young fellows,he shouted,"how long are you going to keep me here? |
| 51704 | I''spect Strawberry Hill ai n''t yourn? |
| 51704 | May I enquire,said Mr. Moffatt,"the source you would propose?" |
| 51704 | My goods were purloined to feast those imps of darkness, and you lent your presence to grace their proceedings? 51704 Now, my friends, which of these would you like for your master? |
| 51704 | Now,said he,"where has William gone? |
| 51704 | Oh, I see,cried the old man, as the nature of his interlocutor''s position flashed across his mind,"the storekeeper, that''s all, eh? |
| 51704 | Oh, the''Super?'' 51704 So they have robbed me again, have they?" |
| 51704 | That''s very true,said Brown,"but, remember in the meantime, we are sufferers; what are we to do?" |
| 51704 | Then it was at that corroboree on the spoliation of my property that you heard this? |
| 51704 | Then why did the white man kill us? |
| 51704 | Upon my life, Miss Ferguson, you''ll be the death of me,he exclaimed;"how do you imagine any mortal man can withstand such temptation? |
| 51704 | Well, for my part,replied Bob,"I would give you a spree in a minute, but how am I to get it up? |
| 51704 | Well, what are they kicking up the row about, Jemmy? |
| 51704 | Were you then at the corroboree? |
| 51704 | What are these, So withered, and so wild in their attire, That look not like the inhabitants o''the earth, And yet are on''t? |
| 51704 | What could have induced that inordinate old humbug,continued Tom,"to have drawn you into his den? |
| 51704 | What does the man mean? |
| 51704 | What is the matter with you, Tom? |
| 51704 | What on earth do you mean Tom? 51704 What were the particulars of that story?" |
| 51704 | What''s the matter, Mister Tom? |
| 51704 | When would you desire me to start, if I took this journey? |
| 51704 | Where on earth can they be going? 51704 Who are those people, William?" |
| 51704 | Who would ever think of studying etiquette with our friends in the bush? 51704 Why so? |
| 51704 | Why, what on earth is that you''re giving us, Reuben? |
| 51704 | Why, what on earth is the matter with you, John? |
| 51704 | With all my heart,said John,"I am quite at your service whenever you desire to go, and I am sure William will join us too; what do you say, Will?" |
| 51704 | Yes, my dear,he replied,"but am I not always happy?" |
| 51704 | An imputation of such a dereliction had never been cast upon the name of Billing, and should he be the first to disgrace the family? |
| 51704 | And I ask, why can not the others of his tribe be made the same? |
| 51704 | Are they not rather as numerous as the hairs on your head? |
| 51704 | Are you aware of the freedom of the blacks here?" |
| 51704 | Are you really happy now, John? |
| 51704 | Are you so deaf, my love,''I said,''that you can not hear the regular grating of a saw at work on some of our doors or shutters?'' |
| 51704 | As I am not aware of the expectation of any one at our place, I presume you are bound for our neighbours at Fern Vale?" |
| 51704 | Billing, what can be done?" |
| 51704 | Billing,"is not your father aware that it is a gross breach of decorum his attempting to pass his jokes off on a gentleman? |
| 51704 | Billing,"said his master, as that individual addressed made his appearance in a sorry plight,"how did you enjoy your excursion to Alma? |
| 51704 | Billing,"we had better have the flour removed into the house?" |
| 51704 | Billing? |
| 51704 | Brandy? |
| 51704 | But I say, old cock, who are you?" |
| 51704 | But have a smoke? |
| 51704 | But how different is it with the labouring man who settles here with the intention of making this his home for the remainder of his days? |
| 51704 | But listen to those poor wretches; are not their cries piteous?" |
| 51704 | But tell us now, if you were not at home when William was at your house, pray, where did you spring from?" |
| 51704 | But then how was he to effect this? |
| 51704 | Did not Achan, when he appropriated of the spoils of Jericho, meet with the just reward of his disobedience in his death?" |
| 51704 | Do you desire me to join the party, Miss Ferguson?" |
| 51704 | Do you know what is the nature of the ceremony of their kipper corroboree?" |
| 51704 | Do you think I am afraid to leave her by herself? |
| 51704 | Dost thou remember the judgments that fell upon David for the murder of Uriah? |
| 51704 | Graham?" |
| 51704 | Has Billing brought you any news that has annoyed you?" |
| 51704 | Has Dugingi been saying anything to you?" |
| 51704 | Has not their food been unfit for pigs? |
| 51704 | Have not the French settled Algiers, and cultivated its soil, even producing that desired staple, cotton? |
| 51704 | Have not their coverings been such, as to be as bad or worse than none? |
| 51704 | Have you not done all this? |
| 51704 | Have you not tyrannized over them, and submitted them to unheard- of cruelties; simply to gratify your insatiable thirst for witnessing torture? |
| 51704 | He is her choice, and it is her pleasure to accept him; then what have I to complain of? |
| 51704 | How have you fed them and clothed them? |
| 51704 | How murder? |
| 51704 | I am of a good mind to treat him to a sound thrashing for his insolence; but you tell me, Jemmy, what you are after here?" |
| 51704 | I might ha''been a bit drunk now and then, but what''s the odds of that? |
| 51704 | I remember on one occasion, sir( if you will permit me to make an observation on my private experience? |
| 51704 | I suppose you were emulated with a desire for discovery, and attempted to find a short cut through the bush, eh?" |
| 51704 | I wonder what my friend John Ferguson will do for his_ protegà © s_? |
| 51704 | I would ask you, then, what security have you for the due performance of your labourers''contract? |
| 51704 | I''spose you do n''t know us? |
| 51704 | If emigration is stopped, I do n''t know what we, in the outlying district, are to do for labour; what do you think Smithers?" |
| 51704 | If you are of a good constitution, and escape_ delirium tremens_, are not your sufferings still very acute? |
| 51704 | Instantly upon confronting the clergyman, he accosted him thus:"You not know me, white man? |
| 51704 | Is John superintending your flirting, my turtle doves?" |
| 51704 | Is it not evident then that Asiatic labour would be brought into direct competition with European? |
| 51704 | Is it to our advantage? |
| 51704 | Is not self- preservation the first law of nature? |
| 51704 | It ca n''t be your intention to leave them unprotected, in this part of the bush? |
| 51704 | My brother tells me you have purchased the block of country below us; may I ask if you are about to stock it?" |
| 51704 | No jury in the world would convict me of murder; then why should I fear? |
| 51704 | Now what do you think he will say when he finds the black fellow has been stealing his rations? |
| 51704 | Now, consider, what are the effects of this spree? |
| 51704 | Now, do you think he was better than me, for not getting drunk that time?" |
| 51704 | Now, my brothers, do you think we can fight against the white fellows? |
| 51704 | Now, tell me, were you not hatching some mischief against us?" |
| 51704 | Now, this fellow gave me some cheek one day, and I thrashed him; but what do you think of his impertinence? |
| 51704 | Of course, you will go to the Sawyers rejoicings, Kitty, and put on your pretty, and good behaviour?" |
| 51704 | Ours? |
| 51704 | Pray, sir, will you make some explanation? |
| 51704 | Surely I may poison meat for the extermination of vermin; and how more securely can I keep it than under lock and key? |
| 51704 | Surely they did not die by only eating the damper?" |
| 51704 | Tell me now the truth; are you thinking of robbing us again?" |
| 51704 | Tell me, now,"continued she, as she went smilingly up to him,"what is it that makes you estrange yourself from us, and studiously avoid our society? |
| 51704 | The good Spirit? |
| 51704 | The value of our exports are increased, you say, but at what a fearful sacrifice? |
| 51704 | Then I would ask; what is to prevent their being induced to domesticate themselves, and live as we?" |
| 51704 | Try a''ball,''will you?" |
| 51704 | Upon receiving an acquiescence to this request, he exclaimed:"What shall it be? |
| 51704 | Was it not a Spanish population that peopled South America? |
| 51704 | We contribute to the support of the state, and are therefore entitled to protection from the government; but are we likely to get that? |
| 51704 | Well now, how are you going to manage your business? |
| 51704 | Well, thinks I, you are a chicken; but I lets him''ave his own way; and what do you think, sir? |
| 51704 | Were you not talking about it in your last corroboree; and was not this talk to- day the continuation of the plot? |
| 51704 | What do you say to that arrangement, Miss Ferguson?" |
| 51704 | What do you say to_ that_ arrangement, Miss Ferguson?" |
| 51704 | What do you say, Brown?" |
| 51704 | What do you say, will you go? |
| 51704 | What escape had a man of feeling, education, and penitential desire, from society such as was general among the convicts? |
| 51704 | What is the result? |
| 51704 | What is the use of''the Master and Servants Act''if we ca n''t make the fellows obedient? |
| 51704 | What on earth can you mean by carrying her off in this way?" |
| 51704 | What was he to do? |
| 51704 | What would the colonies be but for their exports of wool? |
| 51704 | What''ll keep life in a fellow like brandy? |
| 51704 | Why could he not stop him himself? |
| 51704 | Why do n''t you behave yourselves to us, the same as you do to the Fergusons? |
| 51704 | Why should you desire to avoid the Smitherses or ourselves? |
| 51704 | Will you make one of us, John?" |
| 51704 | Would I not rather be justified in rescuing her from such a condition? |
| 51704 | an European that later settled Texas? |
| 51704 | and did he not tell you that we had gone over to your place?" |
| 51704 | and how, I would like to know, is that staple commodity to be obtained if the squatters are not enabled to procure labour? |
| 51704 | and is even now( I allude more particularly to the Germans) growing cotton in that province to compete with the slave- grown produce of the States? |
| 51704 | and where are you going now, mate?" |
| 51704 | and who can deny that the result would not be disastrous to the latter? |
| 51704 | and will not our family there be judged for this? |
| 51704 | asked the other,"will you explain?" |
| 51704 | can they be warned of their danger before it is too late? |
| 51704 | champagne? |
| 51704 | claret? |
| 51704 | did they not get any of the meat? |
| 51704 | do you want a recital of your sins?" |
| 51704 | does not the black and heinous catalogue rise before you, and darken your very soul? |
| 51704 | eh, sir?" |
| 51704 | enquired Tom;"or did you see my brother? |
| 51704 | far more so than to be commensurate to the wild excitement of the debauch? |
| 51704 | for goodness sake,"exclaimed Kate;"when will you stop? |
| 51704 | gin? |
| 51704 | hear you that wail? |
| 51704 | if we ca n''t take care of them, I would ask you, who can?" |
| 51704 | insufficient for any season; causing paralysis in winter, and sun- strokes in summer? |
| 51704 | is he flirting again, my Kitty?" |
| 51704 | is it possible to heal the breach?" |
| 51704 | replied I;''ca n''t your quick ear detect sounds that portend to an unpleasant visitation?'' |
| 51704 | replied his quondam servant;"have they been so insignificant that you can not call any to present recollection? |
| 51704 | said Jemmy Davies, who came up at this juncture,"why are you''riled?'' |
| 51704 | said Tom, as he gazed upon the sorrowful features of the young man;"you look ill, wretchedly ill; what ails you, man?" |
| 51704 | said William as they passed through the water,"you seem quite nervous and agitated? |
| 51704 | said he, continuing his meditations,"you are in force are you? |
| 51704 | screamed the agonized man,"what have I done to deserve death?" |
| 51704 | screamed the terrified captive, in a voice that echoed in a thousand keys through the cavernous glen:"what have I done to deserve death from you? |
| 51704 | the fellow''s trying the door,"he muttered;"perhaps you would like the key, my friends? |
| 51704 | there it is again; does not that cry rise up to heaven? |
| 51704 | what sounds?'' |
| 51704 | who have we got here?" |
| 51704 | will he pine for them? |
| 51704 | wine? |
| 51704 | you surely do not mean to kill me?" |
| 5113 | Ah,said he,"you bin hear that before, George?" |
| 5113 | Big fella master, he bin say--''Boinin''Down, you hear me? 5113 Do you know what ship they are painting?" |
| 5113 | How you know, Sam? |

| 5113 | Where letter? |
| 5113 | Why did n''t you keep out of the road,yelled the captain,"Why do you let the nigger steer?" |

| 5113 | And then,"Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook?" |
| 5113 | And this nectar, clear as dew- drops, sweet with an aftertaste of some scented spice-- a fragile pungency-- was ever liqueur so purely compounded? |
| 5113 | And under what charter of rights does it slink among the coral and weed affrighting God- fearing man under the cloak of his first subtle enemy? |

| 5113 | Are not the tenses of intoxication infinite? |

| 5113 | Are we not all apt to fall into the error of estimating the character of a country by its extravagances rather than its average and general qualities? |

| 5113 | But was I not bound by honour as well as sentiment to protect the birds? |
| 5113 | But who cares? |
| 5113 | But why did the snake show such reluctance to leave the box? |
| 5113 | But why"burden our remembrance with a heaviness that''s gone?" |

| 5113 | Was ever a keener, a more patient, a more self- possessed, and consequently a more successful, sportsman? |
| 5113 | Was it not all another palpable proof, a precedent to be cited, of the manner in which a no- good- boy wantonly brought about a big wind? |
| 5113 | Was not my coming hither due to a certain extent to a wish for the preservation of bird- life? |
| 5113 | Was there ever a Beachcomber so pure and elevated of soul as to refuse the chances that Nature proffers gratuitously? |
| 5113 | Was there not in my presence an implied warranty to that effect? |
| 5113 | We never blazon our failures-- why should we? |
| 5113 | Were not the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the very fish of the sea, given over to his arbitrary authority? |
| 5113 | What for you humbug Boss, Mickie?" |
| 5113 | What is meant( to follow the phrase of Huxley) when one says in technical language that the rainfall of a place was 153 inches for a certain year? |
| 5113 | What law restrains virile birds from the venture? |
| 5113 | What magic is it that uplifts them to- day between the ocean and the sky? |
| 5113 | What matters it that London decrees a crease down the trouser legs if those garments are but of well- bleached blue dungaree? |
| 5113 | What that? |
| 5113 | What was it when we came into possession? |
| 5113 | What was the origin of the peculiar pattern of the pearl- shell fish- hooks? |
| 5113 | What would your gourmands give for a plate of this genuine article? |
| 5113 | What you think? |
| 5113 | What you want?" |
| 5113 | What? |
| 5113 | While my three- garment costume-- is it not convenient and fashionable enough? |
| 5113 | Who may say he has tasted turtle soup-- pure and unadulterated-- unless he has"Kummaoried"his turtle to obtain it? |
| 5113 | Who owns the pair of ballast tanks once mine? |
| 5113 | Who the buoy deemed securely moored? |
| 5113 | Who the paddles and the rowlocks and the signal halyards, lost because of Neptune''s whims and violence? |
| 5113 | Who would not be a landed proprietor under such terms? |
| 5113 | Why all this profuse vegetation and the anomaly of tempting fruits and nuts cram- full of meat and yet no real food-- that is, food for man? |
| 5113 | Why bother about the law and the moralities when it is all so pleasing, so engrossing, and so fair? |
| 5113 | Why invoke those long- silent spectres, white as well as black, when all active boorishness is of the past? |
| 5113 | Why recall the memory of those acheful days, when all the pleasant and restful features of the island are uncatalogued? |
| 5113 | Why should they blame a shark when it was established beyond doubt that nothing but a"debil- debil"could have killed"Jimmy"? |
| 5113 | Why then should it be furnished with such dreadful weapons of offence? |
| 5113 | Why this fanciful decoration if not to carry the delusion further by resemblance to a flower? |
| 5113 | Why, therefore, doubt it for a moment? |
| 5113 | Will the title bear a few words as to Tom the hunter? |
| 5113 | Yet, when once the life is begun, how few there are who attempt to withdraw from it? |
| 5113 | You bin gib it my missis''s trousers?" |
| 5113 | You guinty-- you not guinty?'' |
| 5113 | You savee?" |
| 5113 | You take me for a blurry Chinaman?" |
| 5113 | he ejaculated--"that myall? |
| 5113 | or to honestly own up to that sentiment which is the most human of all? |
| 5113 | or, is the fancy merely another phase of the tyranny of temperament? |
| 5113 | shouted one of the disputants,"suppose you want to go out in big wind and big sea, which boat you take? |
| 5113 | was I to leave it all, unclaimed and unregarded-- in excess of morality and modesty-- on the beach, to be honey- combed by white ants or to rot? |
| 5113 | you come up? |
| 36399 | All of them, did you say? |
| 36399 | And what did he say to you when they left? |
| 36399 | And wo n''t you sell me a piece of meat? |
| 36399 | And you are going to look for gold now? |
| 36399 | Are you going altogether insane? |
| 36399 | Are you going to shout? |
| 36399 | Are you going up to the pearl fisheries? |
| 36399 | Are you taking my horses away? |
| 36399 | But are you really so very hard up here? 36399 But,"said I,"what is the meaning of that empty bottle you have hung up there?" |
| 36399 | Can you chip? |
| 36399 | Can you cook? |
| 36399 | Can you make brick? |
| 36399 | Can you split fencing stuff? |
| 36399 | Coming from the Palmer? |
| 36399 | Could I not get round her after he is away? |
| 36399 | Did I want to go? 36399 Did n''t I say so?" |
| 36399 | Did you notice that he said,''Dead mariner,''when he held the bottle up towards the sun? |
| 36399 | Did you think it was gold? |
| 36399 | Do you know that I expect my men to earn fourteen shillings a day? |
| 36399 | Do you make out anything over there? |
| 36399 | Do you mean making dinners? |
| 36399 | Do you think we shall be allowed to cut the trees down? |
| 36399 | Do you want to buy any more''dead mariner''? |
| 36399 | Do you yourself know anything much about Queensland? |
| 36399 | Does he? |
| 36399 | Does she know you are out here? |
| 36399 | Father,cried the lady,"why do you keep tormenting the poor man so? |
| 36399 | Got any tools? |
| 36399 | Ha, where? 36399 Has he got all these bottles for sale?" |
| 36399 | Have you been there before? |
| 36399 | Have you got a ticket? |
| 36399 | Have you got all these bottles for sale? |
| 36399 | Have you got it with you? |
| 36399 | Have you no money? |
| 36399 | How could I? |
| 36399 | How do you think he should know him? |
| 36399 | How much money you think I receive for one bottle? |
| 36399 | Hullo,bawled he,"is that you? |
| 36399 | Hulloa, countryman, what is the matter? 36399 I suppose as you went visiting her, she would have had no objection?" |
| 36399 | I wonder how it will go when we come to Queensland? |
| 36399 | I wonder how many knots we are running? |
| 36399 | I wonder if any one ever was so hungry as I? |
| 36399 | I wonder if he would take a bottle for a dozen? |
| 36399 | I wonder what they all were laughing at? |
| 36399 | Is he the only one at the place besides yourself? |
| 36399 | Is that your horse? |
| 36399 | It is not you who were here yesterday? |
| 36399 | Master and missis? 36399 No friends there?" |
| 36399 | Not if a man were dying of hunger? |
| 36399 | Oh yes, I savey swim belong de pearl all de time? |
| 36399 | Oh, but if we should lose? |
| 36399 | Oh, do n''t you see? 36399 Oh,"cried I, laughing, while I grasped his hand,"Ticket-- oh I savey you give me ticket?" |
| 36399 | Only leave it to him? |
| 36399 | Shoeskin,cried I to the horse,"you old dog, do you know that it was to save you from hunger''s dread that I went on this journey? |
| 36399 | Sophy, Sophy, is that you? |
| 36399 | Then you want nothing from me, I suppose? |
| 36399 | Thieves and robbers, who has stolen my money? 36399 Trees, did you say? |
| 36399 | Well, Thorkill,said I,"do you remember you said once that you and I would never part? |
| 36399 | Well, what is it you can do? |
| 36399 | Well,said I,"are you off? |
| 36399 | What can you do? |
| 36399 | What do they say? |
| 36399 | What have you got? |
| 36399 | What is in your line, then? |
| 36399 | What is it going to be? |
| 36399 | What is that? |
| 36399 | What is the matter? |
| 36399 | What is the matter? |
| 36399 | What sort of a new chum are you then? |
| 36399 | What wages did you get there? |
| 36399 | Where are we, I wonder? |
| 36399 | Where are you going? |
| 36399 | Where were you working before? |
| 36399 | Where,cried he,"will all of you be in twenty years? |
| 36399 | Who is that? |
| 36399 | Who shall say? 36399 Why did you not marry her?" |
| 36399 | Why the---- do n''t you camp in the bush? 36399 Will you swear you will give him the half of what I will give you?" |
| 36399 | Would you not be obliged to me if I would show you a public- house? |
| 36399 | After dinner, when we came on deck again, I heard some one cry out,"Are there any carpenters on board? |
| 36399 | Ai n''t I a fool? |
| 36399 | Ai n''t you got no rations, neither?" |
| 36399 | All your bit of money clean gone?" |
| 36399 | And must I die there? |
| 36399 | Anyhow, when it was all spent, and he would get angry when people would have no more to do with him, would he be kicked out? |
| 36399 | Are we not lucky?" |
| 36399 | Are you going to have a drink?" |
| 36399 | Are you going?" |
| 36399 | Are you gone?" |
| 36399 | Are you travelling far? |
| 36399 | Are you----Deutcher?" |
| 36399 | As we sailed down the river the captain said to me,"Are you the diver?" |
| 36399 | At last the skipper took hold of me and cried,"Well, stranger, here we are in Townsville; where shall we take you to?" |
| 36399 | Benevolent- looking old hypocrite, when I found it all out, I felt as if I could have----never mind-- what is the good? |
| 36399 | But how can you get to town, when you can not cross the river? |
| 36399 | But how was I to have known that? |
| 36399 | But is it right to take them? |
| 36399 | But on the whole I was not afraid that I should be unable to find my way somewhere, the question was really-- how long could I keep up without food? |
| 36399 | But then, again, what were our expectations? |
| 36399 | But was it not strange, thought I? |
| 36399 | But were there bricklayers to build houses? |
| 36399 | But what about the plough? |
| 36399 | But what was happening now? |
| 36399 | But what was it? |
| 36399 | But where was I to go? |
| 36399 | Carpenters-- any carpenters who want employment?" |
| 36399 | Certainly all there might not fetch ten shillings, but who had a better right or more need of it than I? |
| 36399 | Come by a steamer? |
| 36399 | Did ever any one get such an unprovoked insult? |
| 36399 | Did you ever notice two dogs when they meet, and before they begin to fight? |
| 36399 | Did you find any gold there?" |
| 36399 | Do clothes make the man? |
| 36399 | Do n''t you hear the whip? |
| 36399 | Do you call yourself a lady? |
| 36399 | Does it not look nice? |
| 36399 | For whom I had lost my horse which had carried me so many hundred miles, and the saddle and all my clothes? |
| 36399 | For whom-- call it what you like-- I had begged and taken by force at the station what I thought necessary to save his life? |
| 36399 | Had I not better begin at once? |
| 36399 | Had I not for a fact passed Townsville, where wages were higher and work more plentiful, to come here? |
| 36399 | Has no one ever taught you yet to take your hat off to a lady? |
| 36399 | Have you given your countryman some supper? |
| 36399 | Have you no money?" |
| 36399 | Have you travelled so far, I thought, and have you seen and suffered so many things on purpose only to drown in this muggy stream? |
| 36399 | He said,"Have you got any money on you?" |
| 36399 | He took me into the shop and showed me several things, and asked me could I make this or that? |
| 36399 | Holloa, is that a frying- pan over there on that log? |
| 36399 | How are you? |
| 36399 | How could I go for a parson? |
| 36399 | How could I refuse? |
| 36399 | How could any one expect me to look happy under the circumstances? |
| 36399 | How could any sick person eat or drink such stuff? |
| 36399 | How de do?" |
| 36399 | How did people here do when they were sick? |
| 36399 | How is this? |
| 36399 | How many have never known the bitter disappointment of being repulsed in this manner? |
| 36399 | How many years, thought I, had he been there, or in places like that? |
| 36399 | How was it he did it? |
| 36399 | How will they fare? |
| 36399 | I asked him, and said,"What if I have no money?" |
| 36399 | I asked, did he think it probable that I should obtain work as a carpenter and joiner, and did he know what wages were going? |
| 36399 | I do not think it right, do you?" |
| 36399 | I lay ten pounds to twenty against the nigger-- ten to twenty-- ten to twenty-- who will take me up?" |
| 36399 | I said,"How much money you pay me for one bottle?" |
| 36399 | I stole behind him and looked, but could see nothing, so I asked,"What is it?" |
| 36399 | I then asked,"Which one is most costly,''dead mariner''bottle or clear bottle?" |
| 36399 | I thought you had left with the others; how is it you did not?" |
| 36399 | I took a porter bottle up, and then said,"You name that one''dead mariner''?" |
| 36399 | I took up a clear bottle and inquired,"This clear thing, you call that empty bottle?" |
| 36399 | I ventured to ask;"I suppose you never were there?" |
| 36399 | I was lying in my bunk when a fellow came in very excited, and said,"Look here, chaps, is not this getting red hot? |
| 36399 | I was soon boring away making holes for a long time right and left, when the girl whispered,"What are you doing?" |
| 36399 | I was too innocent to see his jeer, only I perceived that he did not want me, so I said,"Public- house? |
| 36399 | I wonder what he meant?" |
| 36399 | If one said to him,"Will you come and have a drink?" |
| 36399 | Is-- it-- not-- a-- nuisance-- that-- we-- do-- not-- understand--English-- better? |
| 36399 | Nobody took him up, when the negro said,"I do n''t mind if I lay a pound or two on myself; any one on?" |
| 36399 | Now, what was it worth? |
| 36399 | One day I heard a Dane speaking in my ear; where he came from, or where he went to, I do not know, but he asked me,"Are you a Dane?" |
| 36399 | One day I said to him:"Thorkill, do you ever try to draw a real picture to yourself of how we shall get on when we come to Queensland? |
| 36399 | Or was I surrounded by a mob of savages, perhaps, lurking alongside of me, and seeing my helplessness? |
| 36399 | Or was it evil spirits? |
| 36399 | Perhaps you think because I have n''t a paper collar on that I am ready to beg?" |
| 36399 | Shall I bore a hole in your door? |
| 36399 | Shall I not be allowed to lie? |
| 36399 | So I would, but what was it I could do? |
| 36399 | Surely you are not going to walk to Mackay to- night? |
| 36399 | That gives work-- does it not?" |
| 36399 | The baker asked me if I was going to look for gold out there, or was I looking for a job? |
| 36399 | The captain said,"What have you got to say for yourself?" |
| 36399 | The immigration agent asked her,"Had she been well and kindly treated on the voyage, and was she satisfied?" |
| 36399 | Then every one on the jetty laughed like fun, but I was totally ignorant where the joke came in, and asked,"Is it not a very good bottle?" |
| 36399 | Then he asked me if there was anything he could do for me? |
| 36399 | Then he said,"What is your name?" |
| 36399 | Then the captain said,"And what do you want to do at Cape Somerset?" |
| 36399 | Then the leader cried,"Well, what are you waiting for? |
| 36399 | Then the question to the remainder became,"Have you signed the complaint?" |
| 36399 | Then we lay down behind some bushes in a most overpowering smell from the bullock; but what will one not do for glory? |
| 36399 | Then, as with a sudden inspiration, he said,"Are you his mate?" |
| 36399 | They are the most frightful grumblers, and who is so fit an object for their displeasure as their servant-- their own servant, the cook? |
| 36399 | Those who had not signed, on saying"no"were then asked"did they wish to sign?" |
| 36399 | Was I in love? |
| 36399 | Was he bitten by a snake? |
| 36399 | Was he sick? |
| 36399 | Was it not fun? |
| 36399 | Was it not paid for with my own money? |
| 36399 | Was it possible? |
| 36399 | Was it possible? |
| 36399 | Was it the custom in this country to invite people on purpose to insult them? |
| 36399 | Was that all I had come to Queensland for? |
| 36399 | Was the meat bad?" |
| 36399 | Was the shirt worth five shillings? |
| 36399 | Was there an alligator now crouching at my feet ready to swallow me in a couple of mouthfuls? |
| 36399 | Was there not trouble enough already? |
| 36399 | Was this a man- trap, or what? |
| 36399 | Was this the man for whom I had risked my life, and as nearly as possible lost it? |
| 36399 | We simply said,"What a lot of them there must be? |
| 36399 | We turned and twisted probabilities for or against, were they coming back or were they not? |
| 36399 | Were they worth ten shillings? |
| 36399 | What are we coming to?" |
| 36399 | What could I do if nobody would help me? |
| 36399 | What did he do with his money when he got it once a year? |
| 36399 | What did it all mean? |
| 36399 | What did it mean? |
| 36399 | What did they laugh at? |
| 36399 | What do you say if we go prospecting for twelve months? |
| 36399 | What do you say?" |
| 36399 | What do you think of that now?" |
| 36399 | What else could he do, or was he likely to do? |
| 36399 | What else could he do? |
| 36399 | What is a man without his pipe? |
| 36399 | What is it you want to know? |
| 36399 | What is your name? |
| 36399 | What new and unexpected horror was this? |
| 36399 | What silly fellows those publicans must be; would it not pay them better to work at a trade, or look out for gold? |
| 36399 | What sort of Knechte are you?" |
| 36399 | What then could I think? |
| 36399 | What was to be done? |
| 36399 | What would be gained? |
| 36399 | When he was paid, he would generally say,"You have not got a few old clothes you do not want?" |
| 36399 | When travellers meet on a Queensland road their first question after greeting is,"How far is it to water?" |
| 36399 | Where is that negro? |
| 36399 | Where is the doctor? |
| 36399 | Where would I go, and what should I do next? |
| 36399 | Where you sit down?" |
| 36399 | Who could I put faith in after this? |
| 36399 | Who knew but that I some day might not die in great deal more lonely and in much more friendless way than he? |
| 36399 | Who said Australia was a desert? |
| 36399 | Who was to pay me? |
| 36399 | Why are we not up and stirring? |
| 36399 | Why are we sitting here yet? |
| 36399 | Why did I not rejoice? |
| 36399 | Why did these blacks not come? |
| 36399 | Why did these scampish blacks not feel satisfied after having received double payment? |
| 36399 | Why should the Government of the country make me a present of a large estate? |
| 36399 | Why should there?" |
| 36399 | Why then should he slight me? |
| 36399 | Why was I sorry? |
| 36399 | Why, then, reopen their wound? |
| 36399 | Why? |
| 36399 | Will thou buy?" |
| 36399 | Will you buy? |
| 36399 | With my feet apart, in English fashion, I puffed away at my pipe, and nodded at her, saying,"How de do? |
| 36399 | Would I kindly step this way to sign the agreement? |
| 36399 | Would he go with it to the nearest hotel, and as he saw other men wonder why they were not as glad to see him as he to see them? |
| 36399 | Would he kindly sell a few rations? |
| 36399 | Would he purchase their good- will with grog? |
| 36399 | Would he then come back here for another year? |
| 36399 | Would it be my fate to serve as food for one of them? |
| 36399 | Would it have been wicked, thought I, if I had been able to work a double game on the old swindler who had taken me in? |
| 36399 | Would my own mother have known the picture? |
| 36399 | Would the least they could do be to write to me circumstantially and often what they thought, what they did, how they fared? |
| 36399 | Yet what adventures must they not have gone through; what stories could they not tell if they liked? |
| 36399 | You savey swim?" |
| 36399 | You say you can do anything: what is it you can do?" |
| 36399 | but to- night I will kill you-- do you know that? |
| 36399 | did I not tell you so? |
| 36399 | is it not strange, so vicious as you have got to be? |
| 36399 | said he;"perhaps you are a diver?" |
| 36399 | thought I; was it necessary for me to conform to their habits, and to imitate them, to secure respect or even civility? |
| 36399 | vot name? |
| 36399 | was ever any one like me? |
| 36399 | was it not too late already? |
| 36399 | what do you mean?" |
| 36399 | what should I do? |
| 36399 | where are you going?" |
| 36399 | yes, I should be glad;"and added,"I did not know there was any; how far is it?" |
