41730 | And then, after a silence:''Can some enemy of the South have done it? |
41730 | And this is George''s baby?" |
41730 | And:"What do you think of God now? |
41730 | Anybody got anything tuh say''gins dat? |
41730 | Beneath was this:"Can I trust these men?" |
41730 | But could he take the Sacrament in the proper spirit-- in a forgiving mind? |
41730 | But ef I don''choose tuh? |
41730 | But with them in relation to this subject, the question has ever been:''What will you do with the freed people?'' |
41730 | Can I come to see him? |
41730 | Can you refuse me? |
41730 | Could her son have done more? |
41730 | Did she ask General Meade now to save her home to her? |
41730 | Dishonest? |
41730 | Do n''t you see that case right there? |
41730 | Do you know of any?" |
41730 | Does you know any safe passin''?'' |
41730 | Dr. Godfrey encountered on the street a little girl, who asked:"Have you seen my papa?" |
41730 | Dr. Mott, General Weitzel''s Chief Medical Director, exclaimed:"Ai n''t that old Jim McCaw?" |
41730 | He called the foreman behind the stacks, and asked:"Well, Monday, what are you people going to do at the polls tomorrow?" |
41730 | He said to this one and to that:"Do you know that man?" |
41730 | He sat silent for a while and then asked:''Can it be possible that any of our own people could do this thing? |
41730 | Hey? |
41730 | How can I help being troubled by anything that troubles Mammy Lisbeth?" |
41730 | How did we see the fashions when we kept our blinds closed? |
41730 | How shall I need to sing opera airs there? |
41730 | How was a man who had no feminine relatives to obey the law? |
41730 | How was it that the crippled assassin was able to make his escape?'' |
41730 | Huccom cow ca n''t wuk?" |
41730 | I heard one man ask of a small funeral procession,''Who''s dead?'' |
41730 | I say,''Huccum you didn''eat wid tur white folks?'' |
41730 | If a meal- hour arrived, Major Sutherlin would say:"Gentlemen, will you join us?" |
41730 | In regard to Baltimore''s work, she says:"How can we ever repay our kind friends in Baltimore for all they have done for us?" |
41730 | Is not Sherman greater?" |
41730 | Is that you? |
41730 | Miss Em, what did Papa do just after the war-- just after Richmond fell? |
41730 | On a lovely May morning, people sat on the Bank piazza asking anxiously:"Where can Mr. Davis be?" |
41730 | On the opposite page, a one- legged negro soldier held out his hand; beneath was:"Franchise? |
41730 | Once he asked:''Have you not had any remuneration for your place?'' |
41730 | Or, was it that the fires of adversity brought their charms and virtues into high relief? |
41730 | Others cried:"Is my husband in there? |
41730 | Recognize a nigger? |
41730 | See if there are ten men in it who will volunteer to go with me without question wherever I choose?" |
41730 | Some enemy of the South who had a grudge against Lincoln, too?'' |
41730 | Some misguided fanatic?'' |
41730 | Stanton wired to know of General Weitzel if he was"acting under authority in giving food supplies to the people of Richmond, and if so, whose?" |
41730 | Suddenly my companion caught my arm, crying:''Is not that the sound of cavalry?'' |
41730 | Tell me dat? |
41730 | Tell us, do you know anything about President Davis?" |
41730 | The agent went out and addressed the negroes:"Men, what makes you think you can live without work? |
41730 | The bride asked:"Mrs. Sutherlin, what room did Mr. Davis occupy?" |
41730 | The lovers came to understanding; the girl reproached him:"Why did you not tell me before?" |
41730 | The member sank limp into his seat, asking in awed whisper of his neighbour:"Whut in de worl''is dat?" |
41730 | The officer said,"Are you Alex Stephens?" |
41730 | The prince thinking he was to choose his partner, fixed on Mary Wright, exquisite in poverty''s simple white gown, and asked:"May I lead with her?" |
41730 | The schoolmarm asked:"Why did n''t you black people poison all the whites and get your freedom that way? |
41730 | This follows:"How_ can_ I pray for the President of the United States? |
41730 | Was the system altogether wrong that developed such characters? |
41730 | Weitzel:"Do you desire that I should order this form of prayer in Episcopal, Hebrew, Roman Catholic, and other churches where they have a liturgy?" |
41730 | Were they here before God to abjure their own? |
41730 | Were they to utter prayer that was mockery? |
41730 | What can I do for her? |
41730 | What could we do?" |
41730 | What did he do to you?" |
41730 | What did he say? |
41730 | What happened to my papa then?" |
41730 | What is the conclusion if we judge the white man''s future by his past? |
41730 | What right had they there? |
41730 | What she suffered during the hours of his political successes, who can tell? |
41730 | What would you advise?" |
41730 | What''s dat?" |
41730 | When General Weitzel directed him to issue the passes for the returning legislators, he inquired:"Have you the President''s written order for this?" |
41730 | When Judge Thomas suggested that he establish Governor Pierpont here, Mr. Lincoln asked straightway,''Where is Extra Billy?'' |
41730 | When they came to where the cabin had stood, Mr. M. exclaimed:"Why, what does this mean? |
41730 | When will a Southerner be President of the United States? |
41730 | Who gwi''spute de Book?" |
41730 | Who is there to pay me for the few things I know how to do? |
41730 | Why, whut you gwi do wid de po''delegate dat ain''got no expenses uh bode an''washin''? |
41730 | Why?" |
41730 | With cold chills running down her spine, Sue asked,"_ What_ are they?" |
41730 | Would they have done so if guilty?" |
41730 | You would not endanger the life of the illustrious Underwood, would you?" |
41730 | did you know how hard a command you laid upon us when you said,''Pray for your enemies?''" |
41730 | he exclaimed,"Mrs. Lee in danger? |
41730 | said Pat,"an''what is it that you''re thryin''to do?" |
41730 | was pronounced of the new official; then the retired claimed sympathy:"Whut he done?" |
41730 | where is he?'' |
41730 | with such a swing?" |
37244 | Ai n''t gone far, I reckon; did n''t take no rations, did he? |
37244 | And do you mean to tell me, Frank Amory, that you could be led into a snare by such a transparent piece of rascality as that? |
37244 | And has Miss Carrington heard of our Bella? |
37244 | And that was the service your people rendered him, was it? 37244 And we may look for two weddings in the--th Cavalry, then?" |
37244 | And what now? |
37244 | And you, little lady? 37244 And_ why_ should she be bright as a button this afternoon?" |
37244 | Are there no trains coming south, not even freight? |
37244 | At the corner? 37244 Brandon, did you notice anything wrong with Amory to- night?" |
37244 | But did n''t you go down towards the lake,--to the right hand, I mean? |
37244 | But do you suppose that General Emory will stand by and allow such a thing to go on under his very nose? |
37244 | But it''s due how soon? |
37244 | But suppose they get wind of it and call upon him to station his men to meet the move? |
37244 | But what good would that have done? 37244 But wo n''t this do?" |
37244 | Ca n''t you understand? 37244 Can you come down to the office, sir? |
37244 | Can you spare me a moment? |
37244 | Could you see nothing of their faces? |
37244 | Did the lieutenant appear to be under any strong excitement? |
37244 | Did you ever see anything prettier? |
37244 | Did you see him? |
37244 | Did you see the lieutenant? |
37244 | Did you see-- did you happen to hear of any letter for me at Sandbrook before you came away? 37244 Do Yankees habitually say''I reckon''?" |
37244 | Do you mean that he has been at other mischief than this mysterious attempt at Amory? |
37244 | Got to New Orleans all right? |
37244 | Had Amory any money, do you know? |
37244 | Harrod, what is it? |
37244 | Have we time to send a despatch to New Orleans? |
37244 | Have you been long in the South? |
37244 | Have you heard anything further? |
37244 | Have you told your mother of this misunderstanding? |
37244 | He ai n''t got back, has he? 37244 He was excited, perhaps upset, at seeing Turpin where he was; but why do you ask?" |
37244 | How is that, Paulie? |
37244 | How long ago? |
37244 | How much do you claim, Smith? |
37244 | How should I know? |
37244 | How''s Vinton? |
37244 | I knew that, of course; but why should that bring Peyton here? |
37244 | I suppose you see poor Turpin''s woe? |
37244 | I? 37244 Is n''t she exquisite?" |
37244 | Major Vinton, say you? 37244 May I take your horse, Billy?" |
37244 | Money, sir? 37244 No major, then?" |
37244 | No man passed Gaston''s on horseback, I can swear to that; and if he came at all as far as the bridge, why did n''t he come the rest of the way? 37244 No; where is he?" |
37244 | Now, my lad,thought I,"what have you done to put your foot in it?" |
37244 | Oh, Mr. Turpin, would you please bring me our lunch- basket? |
37244 | Pauline, did the major tell you in his letter? |
37244 | Shall I pour for you? |
37244 | Shall I read it? |
37244 | Sheep, old man, how are you? |
37244 | Tell me what? |
37244 | That coffee ready? |
37244 | That freight gone by yet, Billy? |
37244 | That their orders had come? |
37244 | The major says I may go,he spoke blithely;"but is not Amory coming?" |
37244 | Then it took half an hour to buy half a dozen oranges of that old Dago at the fruit- stand, did it? 37244 Then where''d he go to?" |
37244 | They? 37244 To the right? |
37244 | Train coming? |
37244 | Well, if all should be quiet to- morrow, come and dine with us at Moreau''s at six, will you? |
37244 | Whar am I most like to catch the boys by dinner- time? |
37244 | Whar''s he gone to? |
37244 | What answer did you give him? |
37244 | What boat will he be looking at? 37244 What chance by going to Grand Junction?" |
37244 | What did Bella say? |
37244 | What do you think it is? |
37244 | What has been the matter, orderly? |
37244 | What have you seen? |
37244 | What is it all, colonel? |
37244 | What is it? |
37244 | What on earth could she find to do down on Royal Street for nearly half an hour without going out of sight? |
37244 | What on earth could take the regiment to Dakota? |
37244 | What other places are there near here that would be open now, Gaston? |
37244 | What say you, Brandon? 37244 What''s up now?" |
37244 | What? |
37244 | When are you coming to see us? |
37244 | When did you come? 37244 Where is Major Vinton, father?" |
37244 | Where''s that flask of yours? |
37244 | Which way did he go? |
37244 | Which way did they go? |
37244 | Who comes there? |
37244 | Who is Major Vinton? |
37244 | Why did you not make him pay you yesterday? |
37244 | Why not with the Summers''at Colonel Newhall''s place? 37244 Why should he hate me?" |
37244 | Why so? |
37244 | Why so? |
37244 | Why, Sheep, did you know Colonel Summers and Miss Carrington? |
37244 | Wo n''t you come in? |
37244 | Would you like to look in at your Legislature? |
37244 | Ye- e- es? |
37244 | Yes; but had n''t we better wait until we get back on Canal Street before lighting them? 37244 Yesterday?" |
37244 | You can go? |
37244 | You mean he''s gone to the left-- past here? |
37244 | You saw Major Vinton? |
37244 | You say you thought he looked ill? |
37244 | _ Do_ you understand? 37244 _ Find_ him? |
37244 | _ How_ did you know? |
37244 | _ You_ sent those violets of course, Miss Summers? |
37244 | ''Are you responsible for this gentleman''s language?'' |
37244 | A gurgle and a long- drawn"ah- h- h"followed, then,--"Got a cigar?" |
37244 | A moment''s silence, then,--"Well,_ why_ should she not want to come and meet the judge?" |
37244 | Agent,"broke in Harrod, impatiently;"when are they due?" |
37244 | Ah, Miss Kitty, you must, indeed, be very young, thought I, and so asked,--"Have you been long in the South since the war, Miss Carrington?" |
37244 | Ai n''t we, gen''lemen?" |
37244 | All that snoring was a counterfeit for_ my_ benefit, was it? |
37244 | Almost the first question was,"Can we not move Frank over with me?" |
37244 | Amory?" |
37244 | And now, how can I dispel your perplexity? |
37244 | Anything wrong?" |
37244 | Are you already falling into the cavalry groove? |
37244 | Are you armed?" |
37244 | Are you aware that you have not even remarked upon the beauty of the weather this afternoon?" |
37244 | Are you sure he is ill? |
37244 | Are you sure you wrote plain directions?" |
37244 | At last there came a bubble of soft, silvery laughter and the mischievous inquiry,--"And how should a lady answer? |
37244 | Brandon?" |
37244 | Brandon?" |
37244 | Brandon?" |
37244 | Brandon?" |
37244 | But how could I face Kitty Carrington with that undelivered note? |
37244 | But just about eleven a man came in, who looked closely at me, said''Captain Amory?'' |
37244 | But where was Amory? |
37244 | But, Brandon, had not I better go with you? |
37244 | Can I serve you in any way?" |
37244 | Can he have been seized as Vinton was?" |
37244 | Can you send this to him?" |
37244 | Can you spare him that long?" |
37244 | Can you suggest any way of helping me? |
37244 | Colonel, you''re not going to take Miss Summers that way?" |
37244 | Could he give any clue by which we could find them? |
37244 | Could it be that the order had already come? |
37244 | Could it have been from Mr. Parker? |
37244 | Could you not even resent_ that_, Kitty Carrington? |
37244 | Did he go back with the battalion?" |
37244 | Did you feel his hand?" |
37244 | Did you note anything out of the way?" |
37244 | Did you notice his eyes, his color? |
37244 | Do n''t you remember father''s anxiety at Sandbrook before we came away? |
37244 | Do you suppose he knew his way back by Washington Avenue, and had turned to the left instead of this way?" |
37244 | Do you think Amory can see us this evening and tell us what he knows of this affair?" |
37244 | Do you think he is well?" |
37244 | Do you want to see him?" |
37244 | Does that young officer owe you any money?" |
37244 | Does_ that_ look as though I thought them susceptible? |
37244 | Had he hoped to reserve that happiness to himself; or was there some deeper reason to account for his avoidance of her? |
37244 | Had he seen or heard anything of Mr. Amory? |
37244 | Has that young cub Peyton been at the bottom of this?" |
37244 | Have you any idea where he is to- day, or who the other man is?" |
37244 | He is awfully proud, is n''t he, Paulie?" |
37244 | How did he get back? |
37244 | How do you do, Miss Carrington?" |
37244 | How do you suppose you were so fortunate as to escape missing him and the other blackguard? |
37244 | How is he to- day?" |
37244 | How soon can you get through your talk with father?" |
37244 | How soon must we start? |
37244 | How was he to know where the lake lay?" |
37244 | How was he to know?" |
37244 | How-- Miss Grayson, for instance?" |
37244 | I was nothing to her, why should she be such a torment to me? |
37244 | If C. K., what did it stand for? |
37244 | If Mars were really smitten with my fascinating niece, how far had it gone? |
37244 | If he should come here, get him into your room and make him lie down, will you?" |
37244 | If he''s lied to me again, I''ll----Say,_ is_ he back?" |
37244 | If so, what did it mean? |
37244 | Is she pretty? |
37244 | It was at the tip of my tongue to make some genial, off- hand, matter- of- fact inquiry, such as"Heard from Bella, lately?" |
37244 | Kitty started from her dream; flashed one quick glance at me, as she answered,--"Mrs. Amory? |
37244 | May I ask where your mother is living now?" |
37244 | May I offer you a toddy? |
37244 | Mr. Brandon, can you make_ any_ conjecture as to the nature of his illness?" |
37244 | Now that''s very unusual in a young man under the circumstances, is n''t it? |
37244 | Now the question that was agitating my mind was, how was Mars to get out of that entanglement if it really existed? |
37244 | Now, Uncle Georgy, is n''t that circumlocution itself? |
37244 | Now, had Parker heard it coming? |
37244 | Now, supposing you are released to- night, how soon can you find him?" |
37244 | Now, was Frank Amory a victim in good earnest, or only a narrow escape from being one? |
37244 | Now, what could have brought him here, and what connection had his wanderings with Peyton''s? |
37244 | Now, what in the world was I to do? |
37244 | Now, what is it? |
37244 | Now, what on earth could I do? |
37244 | Oh, Paulie,_ what_ has happened?" |
37244 | Peyton?" |
37244 | Presently I met Colonel Newhall, and his first question was,--"How is Vinton to- night?" |
37244 | Shall I ever forget that almost breathless ride? |
37244 | Shall I send, sir?" |
37244 | Shall we try it?" |
37244 | That charming little friend of Major Vinton''s? |
37244 | That whistle_ must_ have been a signal of some kind, and, if so, what did it portend? |
37244 | Then I suppose I, too, am horribly at fault,"said I, laughing,"for I''ve done pretty much the same thing?" |
37244 | There could be no doubt of the situation, for had we not gathered in honor of the major and his gallant young adjutant? |
37244 | There they were, two gracefully intertwining letters; a"C"and a"K."Now was it C. K. or K. C.? |
37244 | There was so much anxiety in Amory''s face that it suddenly occurred to me to ask,"Your mother is not ill, I hope? |
37244 | Turpin?" |
37244 | Vinton might be found down along the levee, but what good would that do? |
37244 | Was any sudden move probable? |
37244 | Was he"miffed"because he had found Turpin in happy_ tête- à -tête_ with her? |
37244 | Was it from that source he now looked for another? |
37244 | Was it possible that he thought I might be some staff- officer? |
37244 | Was there_ ever_ such a colossal ass? |
37244 | Were we not there to break bread once more before parting,--to wish them_ bon voyage_ with our stirrup- cups? |
37244 | Were you already so abject that a newly- won lover dare tell you that after his horses were seen to he would look after you? |
37244 | Were you ill then?" |
37244 | What better chance do you want?'' |
37244 | What could I ever have said to give you such an impression? |
37244 | What could he mean by saying that he was glad Vinton had secured his leave of absence? |
37244 | What could we prove? |
37244 | What do you know? |
37244 | What do you suppose is wrong?" |
37244 | What do you think?" |
37244 | What had he been doing to set the marshal on his track?" |
37244 | What has taken all the color from those round, velvety cheeks? |
37244 | What is this?" |
37244 | What man, raised in a large family of sisters, does n''t grow up as I was raised,--a tease? |
37244 | What more natural, therefore, than that Mr. Amory should turn to her for conversation and entertainment on his arrival? |
37244 | What was there about the whole proceeding to upset any one''s equanimity? |
37244 | What would you want him secured for now that we have Amory safe and warned against him in the future? |
37244 | What young girl was there to whom he was devoted? |
37244 | What_ could_ be wrong with him? |
37244 | What_ will_ Major Vinton say?" |
37244 | Where can we put her? |
37244 | Where could Amory have gone? |
37244 | Where did he go? |
37244 | Where had I seen that superscription before? |
37244 | Where have they gone?" |
37244 | Where was he, and how had he escaped the trap? |
37244 | Who could be there? |
37244 | Who that ever saw it could forget it? |
37244 | Who was it who first said that the gist of a woman''s letter would always be found in the postscript? |
37244 | Who-- who else came?" |
37244 | Why did n''t I wear my hat?" |
37244 | Why did n''t you say turn to the right instead of south? |
37244 | Why did they leap back as you came out?" |
37244 | Why need I apologize further? |
37244 | Why should Kitty look ill at ease, nervous, distressed? |
37244 | Why should Mars be so unusually excited and flighty? |
37244 | Why should there be any cause for embarrassment? |
37244 | Why, Uncle George,_ how_ should I know whether they are susceptible or not? |
37244 | Why?" |
37244 | Will you come into father''s library and let me explain?" |
37244 | Would I join them? |
37244 | Would I see them? |
37244 | Would Monsieur step up to the room and wait their coming? |
37244 | Would he show me to Lieutenant Amory''s room? |
37244 | Would you be willing to tell me how she came to know anything about Bella Grayson?" |
37244 | Yet you know they do not sail until to- morrow, do you not?" |
37244 | You have heard from her?" |
37244 | You see how it is, do n''t you?" |
37244 | You see there is abundant room, little lady, so why not come?" |
37244 | You would not care to have the thing made public, would you?" |
37244 | You_ will_ be true to me, as, God knows, I will be to you?" |
37244 | _ Did n''t_ you, then?" |
37244 | _ Sure_ you understand?" |
37244 | a special with troops, do you mean?" |
37244 | and what he said about its perhaps being too late for any effort on his part? |
37244 | had I seen him? |
37244 | he muttered; then turned suddenly to me:"Mr. Brandon, when we get back to Gaston''s let me have your hat, will you? |
37244 | learning that unwritten creed that puts the care of his mount as the corner- stone of a trooper''s temple? |
37244 | little girl, what is it that has made those soft eyes so heavy, so sad? |
37244 | of course that is the first question; is she-- anything, everything, in fact? |
37244 | or, do you-- is it possible that you mean-- you too are interested in her? |
37244 | what note or message will you intrust to me?" |
37244 | what_ could_ such an old idiot do? |
37244 | when did you get here?" |
37244 | you, Brandon? |
26240 | A common-- stump- tailed-- cur- dog? |
26240 | A nigger dog? 26240 A vision? |
26240 | About what time do you think your master, Colonel Cameron, will honour us with his presence? |
26240 | Afraid they''ll nab me for something? |
26240 | Ah, but will it be? 26240 Ai n''t I done tole you''bout runnin''away?" |
26240 | Ai n''t I er nigger? |
26240 | Always? |
26240 | Am I right? |
26240 | And Gus, the young scamp we used to own; you have n''t forgotten him? 26240 And by whose authority are you a judge?" |
26240 | And did you learn to find all these birds''nests by yourself? |
26240 | And do the rank and file know the Black Pope at the head of the order? |
26240 | And he in love with all? |
26240 | And how will you master and control these ten great Southern States? |
26240 | And my dogs? |
26240 | And my sweetheart, Marion Lenoir? |
26240 | And now, my dear, what must I do to get the passes? |
26240 | And the President paused amid a thousand cares to write that letter to a broken- hearted woman? |
26240 | And what did he say? |
26240 | And what is your message for the South? |
26240 | And why did you nail up the doors of that Presbyterian church? |
26240 | And why, pray? |
26240 | And why? |
26240 | And you are the dear girl who has been playing and singing for my boy, a wounded stranger here alone among his foes? |
26240 | And you have not told me your name? |
26240 | And you know the way? |
26240 | And you the sheriff of this county trotted along in front to make the way smooth for your prisoner? |
26240 | And you think of going back to farming? |
26240 | And you think the South is ready for this wild vision? |
26240 | And you think we will specially enjoy that? |
26240 | And you will help our people lift this curse? |
26240 | And you wo n''t be disappointed in my simple ideal that finds its all within a home? |
26240 | And you''ll never keep a secret from me, dear? |
26240 | And your ideal of life? |
26240 | Are n''t you ashamed of yourself to flirt with me, with one foot in the grave? |
26240 | Are we agreed, gentlemen? |
26240 | Are you a fiend? |
26240 | Are you dead again? |
26240 | Are you the sheriff of this county? |
26240 | Are your father''s poems published? |
26240 | At the price of racial life? 26240 But defeat?" |
26240 | But how did the vote fail-- it was all fixed before the roll- call? |
26240 | But if everything else fail, and this creeping horror becomes a fact-- then what? |
26240 | But where did you run up against hypnotism? 26240 But will your plans work? |
26240 | Ca n''t you see that your so- called States are now but conquered provinces? 26240 Can you blame us for loving such a spot?" |
26240 | Can you help me, dear? |
26240 | Can you stand any more? |
26240 | Could I see the President? |
26240 | Defeat? |
26240 | Des lak any white man? |
26240 | Did Stanton say that I was a fool? |
26240 | Did he dare to try? |
26240 | Did he make love to you? |
26240 | Did you see the little angel who has been playing and singing for me? 26240 Did you study medicine abroad?" |
26240 | Do n''t wish to be protected, sheltered, and cared for? |
26240 | Do you find much use for your powers of hypnosis? |
26240 | Do you know what''s written on this paper, Uncle Aleck? |
26240 | Do you know, my boy, that you have the heritage of royal blood? 26240 Do you know,"he said earnestly,"that you are the funniest, most charming girl I ever met?" |
26240 | Do you love me very much? |
26240 | Do you not fear my betrayal of your secret? |
26240 | Do you think that man Stanton would dare defy the President? |
26240 | Does Lynch? |
26240 | Does he make love to every pretty girl? |
26240 | Ef yer doan''b''long ter no s''iety,said Aleck with judicial deliberation,"what is you?" |
26240 | En what''s de fee fer dat? |
26240 | En will the Lawd''s messengers come wid me right now to de bend er de creek whar I done pick out my forty acres? |
26240 | En yer ai n''t er No''f Ca''liny gemmen, is yer-- yer ai n''t er member er de''Red Strings?'' |
26240 | En yer pay no''tenshun ter de orders I sent yer ter jine de League? |
26240 | Excuse-- me-- for-- asking-- but am I alive? |
26240 | For what purpose, sir? |
26240 | For what? |
26240 | Forty acres and a mule for every black man-- why was I ever born white? 26240 Friends of yours?" |
26240 | Got yer deed, is yer, ter stop me payin''my missy her rent fum de lan''my chillun wucks? 26240 Has Aunt Cindy come yet?" |
26240 | Have I, too, sinned and come short? |
26240 | Have n''t you heard what happened to his Honour last night? |
26240 | Have we not had enough bloodshed? 26240 Have you been instructed to act under my orders?" |
26240 | Have you let him see a preacher before putting him through? |
26240 | Have you ordered a barber to shave this man''s head? |
26240 | He is very popular in Piedmont? |
26240 | Honest Injun, here on the sacred altar of the princess? |
26240 | How could a Southerner discover this, if your own children did n''t know it? |
26240 | How dare you strike that man, you devil? |
26240 | How did you escape so soon? |
26240 | How did you rescue him? |
26240 | How do I feel? |
26240 | How do you account for such powers? |
26240 | How ole is you? |
26240 | How on earth did you meet him? |
26240 | How''s my little sis? |
26240 | I suppose you issued an order silencing him from the ministry? |
26240 | I thought the Union League a patriotic and social organization? |
26240 | I thought you favoured the execution of the leaders of the rebellion? |
26240 | I wonder if you know how I love you? 26240 I wonder if you know how important?" |
26240 | I wonder whose will be the lucky name some day within it? |
26240 | If I have n''t suffered in this war, who has? |
26240 | If the negro were not here would we allow him to land? |
26240 | In either event I go to a warmer climate, eh, doctor? |
26240 | Is dat de deed? |
26240 | Is n''t she God''s message to me and to the world? |
26240 | Is n''t she at home? |
26240 | Is n''t that enough? |
26240 | Is n''t your aunt, Mrs. Farnham, the president of a club? |
26240 | Is not the North equally responsible for slavery? 26240 Is that all?" |
26240 | Is that the theatre? |
26240 | Is that the way you escort prisoners before a court? |
26240 | Is there no other way? 26240 Is yer er member er de Union League?" |
26240 | Is you voted to- day? |
26240 | Jeannie, you''re making an idol of her----"Why not? 26240 K. K. K.""Are you an officer of the Union League?" |
26240 | Let''s see some of the goods, Aleck-- are they first class? |
26240 | Look here, Ben Cameron, have you another girl somewhere you''re flirting with? |
26240 | Look here, Stoneman; have you some deep personal motive in this vengeance on the South? 26240 Love your enemies?" |
26240 | May I help you? |
26240 | May I write it out in full-- Margaret Cameron-- Philip Stoneman? |
26240 | May I? |
26240 | Mr. Alexander Lenoir, sah-- is I yo''uncle, nigger? |
26240 | Negro suffrage do n''t matter? |
26240 | Nonsense, father-- you are possessed by an idea which has become an insane mania----"Will you respect my wishes? |
26240 | Now what kind of a dog did I say you are? |
26240 | Now, did n''t I tell you that you could n''t fool me? 26240 Ob cose, Dr. Cammun, you say nuffin''bout what I gwine tell you?" |
26240 | Old Aleck still at home and getting drunk as usual? |
26240 | Perhaps you will present my card, then-- say that I am at his service, and let him appoint the time at which I shall return? |
26240 | Shall I bring the boys? |
26240 | Sold for taxes? |
26240 | Suppose Pickett had charged one hour earlier at Gettysburg? 26240 The preacher wo n''t be here?" |
26240 | Then there''s hope for me? |
26240 | Then why not begin at home this vision, and give the stricken South a moment to rise? |
26240 | Then you do n''t believe this twaddle about equality? |
26240 | Then you will give me one afternoon for a sail on the river to say good- bye and thank you for what you have done for me and mine? |
26240 | Then you will write the President a letter asking that they be allowed to see Doctor Cameron? |
26240 | Then you''ll fight and go back to her with me? |
26240 | Then, how did you know I am a Southerner? |
26240 | They say the rat labels were in a majority in this precinct-- how was that? |
26240 | To the theatre? |
26240 | Tryin''ter vote, is yer? |
26240 | Well, I''m glad of that-- my mare all right? |
26240 | Well, Mrs. Cameron, what did you think of the President? |
26240 | Well, my man, what''s the trouble? 26240 Well, now, then, is this me, or is it not me, or has a cannon shot me, or has the devil got me?" |
26240 | Well, upon my soul,said Ben, taking a deep breath and looking at Elsie,"he''s the whole thing, is n''t he?" |
26240 | Well? |
26240 | What ail it? |
26240 | What ails my ideal? |
26240 | What are you doing to him? |
26240 | What can we do, my darling? |
26240 | What cote? 26240 What did he say to you?" |
26240 | What did he say? |
26240 | What did they say to you? |
26240 | What do you mean? |
26240 | What do you mean? |
26240 | What do you mean? |
26240 | What do you see? |
26240 | What do you think of it, Colonel Cameron? |
26240 | What does it mean? |
26240 | What does it mean? |
26240 | What does it sound like? |
26240 | What does that mean? |
26240 | What else? |
26240 | What happened there yesterday? |
26240 | What is it, honey? |
26240 | What is it, sir? |
26240 | What is it? |
26240 | What is the latest news? |
26240 | What must I call him? 26240 What on earth are you going to do, sir?" |
26240 | What right had you under the Constitution to declare war against a''sovereign''State? 26240 What shall I play?" |
26240 | What then? |
26240 | What will we do if Stanton arrests you one of these fine days? |
26240 | What will you give me if I tease you about Margaret right before her? |
26240 | What you doin''here, sah? |
26240 | What''s that? |
26240 | What''s the matter in there? |
26240 | What''s the use of my expressing an opinion when you have already settled it? |
26240 | What? |
26240 | When are you going? |
26240 | Where is Grant? |
26240 | Where is Margaret? |
26240 | Where is Stanton? |
26240 | Where is he? |
26240 | Where on earth did you find them? |
26240 | Who are you? |
26240 | Who said I was defeated? 26240 Who said I was going to die?" |
26240 | Who said my lover was dumb? |
26240 | Who''yer talkin to, sah? 26240 Why are such men intrusted with power?" |
26240 | Why did n''t you walk beside him? |
26240 | Why is it, sweetheart, that a girl will persist in admiring brass buttons? |
26240 | Why not out with it? |
26240 | Why should I be distressed for one, an enemy, among these thousands who have fallen? |
26240 | Why so serious to- night? |
26240 | Why, did n''t you know that my parents were Virginians, and that I was born in Kentucky? |
26240 | Why, what''s all this, Aleck? |
26240 | Why? |
26240 | Why? |
26240 | Will he live? |
26240 | Will it be very difficult to reach the President? |
26240 | Will the President be there, Captain? |
26240 | Will you come to the hotel before they arrive? |
26240 | Will you follow me while I lead you through this town, to show them their chief has fallen, or will you force me to drag you? |
26240 | Will you grant my prayer? |
26240 | Will you hear the prayer of a broken- hearted mother of the South, who has lost four sons in General Lee''s army? |
26240 | Will you join us now, sir? 26240 Will you never breathe it to a soul if I do?" |
26240 | Will you tell? |
26240 | Will you vote? |
26240 | With apologies to the dogs----"Apologies to the dogs----"And why does your master honour the kennel with his presence to- day? |
26240 | With thousands of your own people disfranchised? |
26240 | Wo n''t you give this all up for my sake? |
26240 | Would you consider an offer of twenty dollars an acre? |
26240 | Would you have let him? |
26240 | Yet may we not train him? |
26240 | You are determined to oppose negro suffrage? |
26240 | You are initiating the negroes into the League and teaching them the new catechism? |
26240 | You could have told that story only to the one man whom you love-- is it not true? |
26240 | You do n''t mean it? |
26240 | You doan b''long ter no s''iety, what yer git in dat line ter vote for? |
26240 | You have just come from the Camerons? |
26240 | You hear''bout de great sassieties de Gubment''s fomentin''in dis country? |
26240 | You refuse to heed the wishes of Congress? |
26240 | You remember the young man I pardoned for a similar offence in''62, about which Stanton made such a fuss? |
26240 | You will let me kiss you? 26240 You will let me see him and thank him the moment he comes?" |
26240 | You will not forget to tell him for me? |
26240 | You wo n''t mind if I give you a few lessons in history, will you? |
26240 | You''ll tell me all your love affairs? |
26240 | You_ do n''t_ approve of such injustice? |
26240 | Your decision is unalterable? |
26240 | Your horse is a good one, my child? |
26240 | Your land, Uncle Aleck? 26240 _ Almost_ to a man?" |
26240 | A battle with United States troops now might mean ruin for the South----""But you will save him?" |
26240 | Aleck recovered his dignity and demanded angrily:"Does yer belong ter de Heroes ob Americky?" |
26240 | And yet you press this crime upon a brave and generous foe?" |
26240 | Any further ecclesiastical orders?" |
26240 | Are our skirts free? |
26240 | Are the Night Hawks ready to submit their evidence?" |
26240 | Are there any others?" |
26240 | Are you given to visions?" |
26240 | As the old Commoner hobbled through the door, his crooked cane thumping the marble floor, Sumner seized and pressed his hand:"How did you do it?" |
26240 | Blanched with horror, the mother sprang before Marion with a shivering cry:"What do you want?" |
26240 | But may it not all come out right in the end? |
26240 | By what authority have you appointed military governors in the''sovereign''States of Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana? |
26240 | Can Barbarism go Further?" |
26240 | Can a man keep his face straight in such a world? |
26240 | Can any one undo this pardon now?" |
26240 | Can he control Stanton? |
26240 | Can human flesh endure it? |
26240 | Can we assimilate the negro? |
26240 | Can you conceive the desolation of_ my_ heart? |
26240 | Can you help me?" |
26240 | Could he win her? |
26240 | Could it be possible they had ventured too near the brink and fallen over? |
26240 | Could negro blood degrade such stock? |
26240 | Dat ole army cote?" |
26240 | Did he aim to make this woman the arbiter of its social life, and her ethics the limit of its moral laws? |
26240 | Did you say--_Phil_?" |
26240 | Did you say_ Marse_ Ben? |
26240 | Do you know Mr. Johnson? |
26240 | Do you own a store?" |
26240 | Dr. Cameron turned pale, and trembling with excitement, asked his friend:"Can that man pass such measures, and the Governor sign them?" |
26240 | Elsie saw the look of helpless appeal in the mother''s face and hurried forward to meet her:"Is this Mrs. Cameron, of South Carolina?" |
26240 | Had you noticed it, Margaret?" |
26240 | Has not the South lost all? |
26240 | Have not the Southern people paid the full penalty of all the crimes of war? |
26240 | Have you been sent to place these irons on me?" |
26240 | Hawk, as Dundreary, was speaking his lines and looking directly at the President instead of at the audience:"Society, eh? |
26240 | He can not pretend that these shackles are needed to hold a weak unarmed man in prison, guarded by two hundred soldiers?" |
26240 | He gasped for breath, sank into his seat, looked around, and said:"Will you close the door?" |
26240 | He sank exhausted in his chair, and, extending his hand in an eloquent gesture, continued:"Surely, surely, sir, the people of the North are not mad? |
26240 | He took Ben''s place just before the guards were exchanged----""Phil!--Phil?" |
26240 | His old master transfixed him with his eyes, and in a voice, whose tones gripped him by the throat, said:"How dare you?" |
26240 | His very presence before them an open defiance of love and life and death, would not his word ring omnipotent when the verdict was rendered? |
26240 | How I''ve dreamed of your future? |
26240 | How can a human being stand it? |
26240 | How can a man live in this world and keep his face straight?" |
26240 | How do we account for sleep and dreams, or second sight, or the day dreams which we call visions?" |
26240 | How do you like it?" |
26240 | How long, O Lord? |
26240 | I never saw a female idiot in my life-- did you?" |
26240 | I thought this a new thing under the sun?" |
26240 | I wish to take you to the theatre to- night, if you will go?" |
26240 | In your soul of souls you do n''t believe in the equality of man if the man under comparison be a negro?" |
26240 | Instinctively he stopped, surveyed the man from head to foot and asked:"What''s the trouble?" |
26240 | Is civilization a patent cloak with which law- tinkers can wrap an animal and make him a king?" |
26240 | Is dat de straight ticket?" |
26240 | Is n''t he handsome? |
26240 | Is n''t it the distant beat of horses''hoofs?" |
26240 | Is not God''s vengeance enough? |
26240 | Is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor as charged in this article?" |
26240 | Is you er hero?" |
26240 | It was Papa''s study just as he left it, with his papers scattered on the desk, the books and pictures that he loved-- you wo n''t mind?" |
26240 | May I go?" |
26240 | May I, again?" |
26240 | May not the black man speedily emerge? |
26240 | McAllister?" |
26240 | Might not an ape improve it? |
26240 | Must I say''Your Excellency?''" |
26240 | Must we wait in line?" |
26240 | No? |
26240 | Now that they have taken me at my word, shall I betray them by an ignoble revenge? |
26240 | Now that we have won, and established for all time its unity, shall we stultify ourselves by declaring we were wrong? |
26240 | Now, will you go?" |
26240 | On the brink of the precipice, the mother trembled, paused, drew back, and gasped:"Are you not afraid, my dear?" |
26240 | Our party has lost its first President, but gained a god-- why mourn?" |
26240 | Over the solemn trembling silence the voice of the Chief Justice rang:"Senator Ross, how say you? |
26240 | Phil looked at the freshly cut circle and laughed:"I wonder if Marion or her mother did that?" |
26240 | President?" |
26240 | Shall they return to rule?" |
26240 | She attempted to rise, and cried in rage:"How dare you, black brutes?" |
26240 | Stanton?" |
26240 | Stoneman snorted in disgust:"Will you ask the Mayor to call to see me at once?" |
26240 | Stoneman''s face was a thundercloud as he scrambled to his feet and glared at Aleck:"_ Marse_ Ben? |
26240 | Suppose the_ Monitor_ had arrived one hour later at Hampton Roads? |
26240 | Tell him to hold five hundred men ready for action in the woods by the river and the rest in reserve two miles out of town----""May I go with her?" |
26240 | That North Carolina and other waste territories of the United States are unfit to associate with civilized communities?" |
26240 | The Lieutenant approached and remonstrated:"Why compel me to add the indignity of personal violence? |
26240 | The doctor-- has-- not-- concealed-- his-- true-- condition-- from-- me?" |
26240 | The election judge straightened himself up with great dignity:"What wuz de rapscallion doin''?" |
26240 | They began to cry, and he said with a smile:"Come now-- do you love me?" |
26240 | To blockade a port? |
26240 | To create the State of West Virginia by the consent of two states, one of which was dead, and the other one of which lived in Ohio? |
26240 | To declare slaves free? |
26240 | To invade one for coercion? |
26240 | To suspend the writ of_ habeas corpus_? |
26240 | Turning to Dr. Cameron, he asked:"Why should they put a brute like this in charge of the poor?" |
26240 | Was Sherman''s march a picnic? |
26240 | Was he too late? |
26240 | Was his the mysterious arm back of Stanton? |
26240 | Was she cold and incapable of love? |
26240 | We can yet appeal to the conscience and the brain of our brethren of a common race?" |
26240 | Were they not the children of her soul in that larger, finer world of which she had dreamed and sung? |
26240 | Were you there?" |
26240 | What could it mean? |
26240 | What do you know against him?" |
26240 | What does your lover think of it all? |
26240 | What else matters? |
26240 | What have I done?" |
26240 | What is it?" |
26240 | What more do you want?" |
26240 | What shall I do?" |
26240 | What ud yer do widout er man lak me enjued wid de sperit en de power ter splain tings?" |
26240 | What will happen in the South? |
26240 | What''s that?" |
26240 | When did you ever know me to deny my help to a weak man or woman in distress?" |
26240 | When did you get it?" |
26240 | Whence came this miracle of influence about him, this gift of intimacy? |
26240 | Who knows? |
26240 | Who''s he?" |
26240 | Why beat your wings against the thing that is and must be? |
26240 | Why should she give them up now for brutal politics? |
26240 | Why trim the hedge and lie about it? |
26240 | Will you be kind enough to explain to this court what has happened to you lately to so miraculously change your manners?" |
26240 | Would Congress follow the lead of the President or challenge him to mortal combat? |
26240 | Would Grant, the Commanding General of the Army, dare protest? |
26240 | Would not his name be a terror for every man and woman born under Southern skies? |
26240 | Would the Southerners be allowed to enter? |
26240 | Yet-- would he dare? |
26240 | You did n''t refuse Henry Grier because you loved Ben Cameron-- now, did you?" |
26240 | You do n''t approve of such things, I know?" |
26240 | You do n''t mind black cats, do you?" |
26240 | You do n''t mind jay- birds, do you?" |
26240 | You know Margaret, too, do n''t you?" |
26240 | You met him in Washington, did n''t you?" |
26240 | You understand?" |
26240 | You wo n''t let anybody hurt him?" |
26240 | Your perfect trust to- night is the sweetest revelation that can come to a woman''s soul and yet it brings to me unspeakable pain----""For what?" |
26240 | and from what secret cave will this whirlwind come?" |
26240 | said Ben;"if you ca n''t ratify with a rat, I''d like to know why?" |
26240 | when they realize its meaning, whose arm will be strong enough to hold them?" |
41857 | A hundred dollars,mockingly repeated Clarissa,"How much money has yu had sence de belyun dun fell?" |
41857 | Ah no; not mine, but yours, I beg, and please accompany the chords with your own sweet voice, will you not? |
41857 | And Aleck, what is he doing? |
41857 | And could you respect me if I were? |
41857 | And have you really enjoyed the time? |
41857 | And now tell me who made you? |
41857 | And pray who told you so? |
41857 | And were you confidential toward this man? |
41857 | And what upon the face of the earth have they not claimed? |
41857 | And will you not give me a kiss now in the presence of your old servant? |
41857 | And you are of opinion that it would not be treasonable to oppose the policy of the government in respect to its acts of reconstruction? |
41857 | And you are sure your committee will act upon suggestions from me? |
41857 | Are you guilty or not guilty of the felony and murder with which you stand charged? |
41857 | Are you quite sure of your premises? |
41857 | Assuredly sir,she replied"if you will give me your word upon honor, that you never shot our poor boys in the battle; now did you?" |
41857 | Belliun? |
41857 | But Uncle Ned,enquired Alice,"would you have me as your friend, a poor lonely girl to remain at Ingleside without protection? |
41857 | But am I really in love? |
41857 | But what avail,said he as he leaned heavily upon his staff,"are arguments and protests? |
41857 | But where are my papers? |
41857 | But will you permit me first to ask after your health and that of your family? 41857 By the way Colonel,"continued the Governor,"did you have an elegant gentleman and his niece to call upon you a few days ago? |
41857 | Can I speak to you sir? |
41857 | Clarissa,the young lady asked as she approached her,"what do you suppose the judge thought of us this morning and of our maid of all work?" |
41857 | Dar now Hannah, what I tole yu, you sees whar my fafe is, do n''t yu? |
41857 | Dares where yu interests me Ned; what is agwine ter cum of me und yu sho nuff? 41857 Dats a mity heep ob promisin, white man,"replied the negro suspiciously,"How menny shurrufs is yer agwine to hab in dis county?" |

41857 | Did yer heer dat racket Mars Jon? 41857 Do n''t de Scriptur sez how dat ef yu he s fafe, ef yu he s fafe,"he repeated with emphasis,"you can tote away mountains, tell me dat?" |
41857 | Do n''t de scriptur say how dat a passel ob horgs broke er loose outen de gap und run down er hill und choked up de sea? 41857 Do n''t de scriptur say how dat whot is ergwine ter cum is ergwine ter cum? |
41857 | Do n''t you see, Uncle Ned,Alice said as she looked up into the old negro''s black face,"how good the Lord is to us? |
41857 | Do n''t yu heer me axes yu who s yu? 41857 Do n''t yu heer me axing you Ned?" |
41857 | Do n''t, hey? |
41857 | Do you know the character of this old negro? |
41857 | Do you know, sir,replied Judge Livingstone,"that there is a side to this ever- shifting panorama that challenges my profoundest sympathy? |
41857 | Does yer mean it pine blank, mister? |
41857 | Dos yer want ther cussed niggers drounded? |

41857 | Here you fellow,said Laflin,"How much money have you been paid to find the old secesh guilty?" |
41857 | Hi there Aunt Hannah, what ails you? |

41857 | I am sorry,exclaimed Alice,"Is the cat quite dead, Clarissa?" |
41857 | I do not wish to give you the key, madam,again replied the girl,"What is your business upon my father''s premises unbidden?" |
41857 | I have endeavored to discharge my duty, and how could I do this, sir, in this country without using the scourge? 41857 I ken nae ane in this puir auld world but you; And why should I dearie? |
41857 | I presume, sir,said the stranger,"that you can not conscientiously support the reconstruction measures of Congress and the president?" |
41857 | I presume,said Judge Bonham,"that you have seen southern character in all of its transformations in your courts?" |
41857 | I wonder what mars judge do mean? |

41857 | Is dat yu, brudder Joshaway? |
41857 | Is it not a faithful transcript of the last will of our Redeemer? 41857 Is it possible? |
41857 | Is that the experience of all the colored people? |
41857 | Is yer man agwine to git lected? |

41857 | My dear sir, why this excessive warmth? |

41857 | Ned,Clarissa asked in alarm,"did dat dar jedge ax yu ary question about Miss Alice when he cum in de do?" |

41857 | Now den, dis heer crowbar is a witnis agin yer, Mr. Semo, what has yer got to say agin dis scusation sar? |
41857 | Now that I have survived those ridiculous sensations that quite overpowered me,Alice blushingly remarked"will you accompany me for a moment?" |
41857 | Now that you love me so dearly,continued Alice,"will you not take a little nourishment, for my sake?" |
41857 | Now then sir, how do you propose to proceed in this business? |
41857 | Now, my dear sir, you greatly interest me; may I inquire your rank in the Confederate army? |
41857 | Oh Lordy, Mr. jedge, what has I dun und dun? |
41857 | Oh, the precious little heathen,exclaimed the school marm, discouragingly,"Did you ever hear of God?" |
41857 | Ond do the naygurs make the laws for sic as you? |
41857 | Ond wad ye say,the Scotchman interrupted,"that amang the naygurs ond sic a government, that a puir body wad hae the protection o''his ain queen?" |
41857 | Ond was it for sic a goovernment as ye hae noo, that ye gaed up your bonnie lad to dee? |
41857 | Ond what is thot? |
41857 | One other question( half aside),"James, if you live to be a man what are you going to do for a living?" |
41857 | Outen? |
41857 | Raisin which fur de po, boss? |
41857 | Sartanly sar, sartanly,answered the coroner:"How is yer agwine to swar hit?" |

41857 | Stand up dar prisner; is yu gilty ob dis high depredashun ob de law ur is yu not gilty? |

41857 | To be sho, to be sho,replied Joshua with irritation;"Duz yu spishun hit wur hung to de gallus? |
41857 | Uncle Joshua,she asked in tears"Have you heard the sad fate of Aleck and Ephraim?" |
41857 | Uncle Ned,came the voice of Alice from the parlor,"Will you please bring Judge Livingstone''s hat to him?" |
41857 | Und den yer cum too ergin? |

41857 | Was he a cullud gemman? |
41857 | Were he a white man? |
41857 | Were you at Gettysburg, sir? |
41857 | Were you thrown into the water by some evil- designing person, Uncle Joshua? |
41857 | What are you doing here governor? |
41857 | What became of him? |

41857 | Whot sort er elements did yer say, missis? |
41857 | Why certainly,the judge replied with a degree of impatience"Do you suppose I have come out of the low grounds?" |
41857 | Why prepare these watery sepulchres for the freedmen whose hopes have been built upon their delusive pledges? 41857 Why, certainly, Joshua; what more can I do for you?" |
41857 | Why, certainly; what is it Ned? |
41857 | Why, my dear sir, had you forgotten that we were deputized to visit the authorities in Washington at the meeting presided over by Judge Bonham? |
41857 | Why, that man? |
41857 | Why, where have you been, Jemima, all these months, you ai n''t heard it? 41857 Why, who can they be but the negroes?" |
41857 | Will her prince never come, into whose eyes she can see mirrored her own self, her soul in its beauty, love and happiness? |
41857 | Will you allow me to ask, my dear sir, do you recall those events with any degree of pleasure? |
41857 | Will you give me the key to the office Miss? |
41857 | Will you give me the key to the office, Miss? |
41857 | Will you not go with me and give such assistance as you can? |
41857 | Will you not let me go on? |
41857 | Will you oblige me at the piano, Miss Seymour? |
41857 | Willie,she asked"What do you call that gentleman who lives in that fine house over the way?" |
41857 | Without deigning a reply Col. Seymour enquired of Clarissa what the shouting and halloing at her house last night meant? |
41857 | Woice what diffikilt Ned? |
41857 | Wuz dat gemman a Mefodis ur Mishunary? |
41857 | Wuz yu dare? 41857 Wuz yu sho nuff drounded to def, brudder Joshaway?" |
41857 | Yer dun und got freedom, haint yer? 41857 Yes and I am informed he is mine also; so we shall not get lost on the route shall we?" |
41857 | Yes, but will you allow me to proceed? |
41857 | Yes, who made you? |
41857 | Yes, why do you ask? |
41857 | You are not a soldier I hope, uncle Joshua? 41857 You knows I haint no man nur cattle beastis nudder; whot maks yu so tantilizin? |
41857 | You seem to be very thoroughly disgusted with the situation Ned? |
41857 | You were not a soldier in the Union army? |
41857 | You were, then, a Confederate soldier? |
41857 | You will pardon my tears will you not? |
41857 | Yu heerd whot I sed, did n''t yu? |
41857 | A few years ago an American asked a halting, mutilated soldier of the Old Guard to tell him how Napoleon died? |
41857 | Ah, the resurrection, who gives this promise, this faith, this hope? |
41857 | Ai nt nex mont October?" |
41857 | Alice was the first to speak and she said quite endearingly"How are you now, my dear Mrs. MacLaren? |
41857 | And Hannah in her night robes ran out frantically crying,"Show me dem dar sarpents, whar is dey Joshaway?" |
41857 | And can you, my sweet Alice, reciprocate the feeling?" |
41857 | And he sang very plaintively:"Oh Kanyun, sweet Kanyun when shall I see, When shall I git dere?" |
41857 | And what is going to become of Clarissa and Ned? |
41857 | And what was he like?" |
41857 | Another sunrise shoots its gleams into the cribbed heart of Old Ingleside, and Clarissa has not returned to prepare breakfast; what can be the matter? |
41857 | Are the mills of the gods still grinding? |
41857 | As an Irish barrister once wrote upon the door of a plebians''carriage,"Why do you laugh?" |
41857 | As she saw Joshua she threw up her hands and impulsively exclaimed,"Fur de Lawd''s sake, Joshaway, whot do ail yer eny way? |
41857 | As the regulator was ambling along he put his two fingers to his mouth and accidentally(?) |
41857 | Between such as these and their former masters were there not higher and holier feelings and relations than those of master and servant? |
41857 | Blessed day will it bring surcease from sorrow, a moment''s respite from the maelstrom of trouble?" |
41857 | Bress de Lawd, how wuz I ergwine ter know de munny wuz gwine to stay at de tuther eend und I at disser eend? |
41857 | By and by what shall the harvest be? |
41857 | By fits and starts old Joshua would awake throughout the nights and call to Hannah,"Ole womun, duz yer kno whar yer is a roosting to night? |
41857 | By the way, how is your father''s health now, Miss Alice?" |
41857 | Can I depend on you?" |
41857 | Can we charm the serpent into harmlessness by the feeble chirping of the wren? |
41857 | Can we tranquilize the country by indignant declamation?" |
41857 | Can you not assist me? |
41857 | Can you tell me about it?" |
41857 | Clarissa exclaimed as she entered the kitchen,"Miss Alice, whar in de name ob commun sense has yer been all dis time? |
41857 | Clarissa would say to her young mistress so inquisitively,"Miss Alice, why do n''t yu git married? |
41857 | Clarsy, do n''t it mak you sorter solumkolly to see how idjeotick ole mister Semo is a gittin, sens de culled fokes is franksized?" |
41857 | Defiant? |

41857 | Did n''t yer heer me callin yer, missis? |
41857 | Did ye not say that yoor fayther ond mither came from Edinboro?" |

41857 | Do n''t yer see?" |
41857 | Do n''t you see Hannah? |
41857 | Do n''t you see missis?" |
41857 | Do n''t you want to serve Him, old negro, so you shall have a crown of rejoicing by and by?" |
41857 | Do n''t yu heer his gwines on, Clarsy? |
41857 | Do n''t yu see? |
41857 | Do n''t yu see? |
41857 | Do n''t yu see?" |
41857 | Do you ask? |
41857 | Do you hear?" |
41857 | Do you intend to do this thing?" |
41857 | Does yer know why dis ole nigger cried jess now, missis?" |
41857 | Does yer see how slak- sided I''se got? |
41857 | Duz sis Hanner luk lak yu duz? |

41857 | Ef yu hez gin out why do n''t you fling hit over to Efrum? |
41857 | Flowers to drive these vermin from my home?" |
41857 | Flowers, accompanied by Ned, saluted the Colonel with,"What are your orders for to- day, sir?" |
41857 | Flowers?" |
41857 | Flowers?" |
41857 | Flowers?" |
41857 | Grate king, Mars Jon, what sorter ammynishun did dem dare yankeys shoot outen dare kannons ennyhow? |
41857 | Had they like Joshua and Hur ever stayed the hand of the prisoner, when with drawn sword he guarded the portal of the temple? |
41857 | Haint I seed yu afore?" |
41857 | Haint dat a purefied scandle? |

41857 | Haint dat yu, brudder Wiggins?" |
41857 | Haint yu got narry crumb missis, dat I mout fling ergin dis ole akefied snag? |
41857 | Has it not admonished man to put away from him every mercenary calculation and to realize that the scourges of sin are rotting whip cords? |
41857 | Has yer seen ole Jube?" |
41857 | Has yu, Hanner?" |
41857 | Have I been ensnared by the pretty fowler, enmeshed by the witcheries, the fascinations of this royal and unsophisticated beauty?" |
41857 | Have you entirely forgotten your old friends?" |
41857 | He asked himself the question,"Can I be in love? |
41857 | How are you, sir?" |
41857 | How cum dat dar jedge outen here any how? |
41857 | How cum de drownded nigger dare? |
41857 | How cum de koo kluck dare? |
41857 | How dos yer feel missis arter dis toxication?" |
41857 | How is he this morning?" |
41857 | How old are you, dear?" |
41857 | How would Alice appear in her funereal robes before him, before the altar? |
41857 | How wus I er gwine ter git ter dis eend epseps I had fafe in de button? |
41857 | How''s I ergwine ter hole de fort wid de ammynishun in de dratted crick? |

41857 | How''s I ergwine to know dis fur back? |
41857 | I ai nt neber been kotched in no scrapes befo in my born days, has I ole marser?'' |
41857 | I asked the prisoner why this superfluity of decorations? |
41857 | I presume, sir,"continued the Englishman,"you would have no hesitation in going to war again if the same casus- belli existed?" |
41857 | I shall be in your town again within the next month, and may I indulge the hope that I shall be once more welcomed at Ingleside?" |
41857 | I suspect that you do not think that a strongly centralized government in any contingency is the least oppressive form of government?" |
41857 | I was a Union soldier and fought under the Stars and Stripes, through the bloody battle of Manassas, and can my rebel sweetheart forgive me?" |
41857 | I wishes to quire, ef a crowbar mout be er witniss in his own beharf, sar?" |
41857 | I''m agwine to leabe off de shoes; den dare is de gallusses twenty- five cents, und de weskote seventy- five cents; den whar is de bakker? |

41857 | If the judge had knowledge of our unbidden presence, would he not say in the law latin that we had committed a trespass,"_ quare clausum fregit_?" |
41857 | In all the dead aeons of dead centuries, science, nature, man, have asked in vain''If a man die shall he live again?'' |
41857 | In de name of Gord, what wus dat, ole marsa? |
41857 | In the garnering of the red harvest did our men and women of the sixties maintain themselves with a proper decorum? |
41857 | In this awakening to the brighter possibilities whom should she clasp to her heart but her old friend, Charles Dickens? |
41857 | Is dere eny defference in hebben twixt er cullud pussun und a white pussun?" |
41857 | Is it not the key that unlocks the door of Heaven? |
41857 | Is it possible we are the dupes of a government spy so clever and intelligent?" |
41857 | Is there no limitation to such a contract; are not its conditions already performed? |
41857 | Is there still grist to feed the stones? |
41857 | Is there yet water in the flume to run the heavy wheel? |

41857 | Iseed him put his handkercher to his face lak he mout be weepin; what did yer say to him, ole marser, dat upsot him so bad?" |
41857 | It was Alice''s turn as a matter of conceit to ask the old negro what he thought of Judge Livingstone? |
41857 | It was a matter of anxious and fearful thought,"What must be the result of collisions that are sure to come?" |
41857 | Kase Mars Harry he did n''t no no better und ole marster did, do n''t you see de pint, Clarsy?" |
41857 | Kin I skiver er humans clean clar ercross de dissart, und retch back ter de eend o''de yeth, wid dese wun- eyed specks? |

41857 | Mars Jon, whot I want wid dat lan? |
41857 | May I ask after your health, sir?" |
41857 | May I ask your destination as I observe you are traveling too?" |
41857 | May I hope to see you at your home in the country?" |
41857 | May I not die with him? |
41857 | Now den, fustly und foremustly, who gin dis bride away?" |
41857 | Now tell me did you ever hear of the rebellion?" |
41857 | Now whar is Joshaway agwine to git his supper er me udder?" |
41857 | Now what dus I have to pay?" |
41857 | Oh, the charm, the aroma of the vine- clad conservatory, dear mother''s"Flowery kingdom"and her little royal maids? |
41857 | Old Jupiter, the pet hound, looked up into her fair face as if to say,"You will not forget me when breakfast is ready will you?" |
41857 | Ole marsa,"he continued,"mout I hab jes wun wurd wid yer?" |
41857 | Once Ned partially aroused exclaimed deliriously,"I''se a woting ebery time fur de boss, who''s yer a woting fur, Joshaway?" |
41857 | Ond were you nae singing a wee bit ago dearie? |
41857 | Ond will the naygurs harm a poor mishanalled mon like me?" |
41857 | Ond wud you mind putting up a wee bit prayer for sich an auld rack of a body?" |
41857 | Perhaps, sir,"he continued, addressing His Honor,"you are not in sympathy with the views I may have inconsiderately expressed?" |
41857 | Powers that be, at whose shrine shall the persecuted man make the act of apotheosis? |
41857 | Quite an interesting man was he not? |
41857 | Saks a live, white man, dos yer aim to massercree fokes fo und aft? |
41857 | Sarve Ellick rite ef he gits masskreed; but sposin yer und Ned gits kilt, whot is ergwine ter cum ob me und Miss Alice? |

41857 | Shall I ever be able to exhibit any proof of its payment? |
41857 | Shall I play yours?" |
41857 | Shall I read a passage to you?" |
41857 | Shall it be at the altar of Laflin, the freedman''s deity? |
41857 | Shall it be in the presence of the cringing minions who will mock at his calamity and laugh when his fear cometh? |
41857 | Shall the officers of the law, under these broken arches, endorse a due return upon the writ of ejectment? |
41857 | Shall we declare ourselves outlawed from the community of nations? |
41857 | Shall we have peace and rest, or surprises and?" |
41857 | Shall we leave our character, our civilization, our very being to the unresisted assault and prepare such an epitaph for our tombs? |
41857 | Shall we slip away from Alice for a moment to invade the privacy of the judge? |
41857 | She began to hope again, perhaps to love again, who shall say? |
41857 | So he addressed the stranger in a manner quite emphatic--"May I enquire, sir, to what circumstance I am indebted for the honor of this visit?" |
41857 | Sophia Ann, has yu heerd de news, or is yu pine blank ded? |
41857 | Sposin de surcus rider had er heerd dat cuss wurd he flung at me und yu? |

41857 | Tell me dat? |
41857 | Tell me dat? |
41857 | Tell me dat?" |
41857 | The colonel looked into the face of the negro as he asked despairingly:"How am I to obey the order? |
41857 | The first observation the old negro made as he came up was this,"How much is de boss agwine to gib fur wotin fur him to go to de legislatur?" |
41857 | The hour for inquisitorial visits or interruptions was unseasonable,"what could it mean?" |
41857 | The judge looked toward the prisoner with a scowl as he observed,"What''s dat white man''s name?" |
41857 | This exclamation was just loud enough for the Colonel to overhear, who enquired of the judge,"what it was that was impossible?" |
41857 | Times is er gitten so mistrustful dat I cum ter ax yu und yung missis mouten me und Clarissa stay wid yu in de grate house? |
41857 | To be sho you did n''t swop your brand new slick beaver off for dat dar camp kittle?" |
41857 | To tell you that I have been captivated by the only girl that can under all circumstances make me happy? |
41857 | To what other convulsions and changes are we predestined? |
41857 | Turning to the solicitor he asked with deliberation,"Can you tell me how the indictment against this old man found its way into this court?" |
41857 | Und Hanner she ups und sez, sez she,''How cum yer node mo dan tuther humans? |
41857 | Und den I ups und sez, sez I, How''s I ergwine ter tell dat woice frum de tuther wuns? |

41857 | Und yu seed de kommissery ob de debbil; did yu see de Lord''s lambs dare? |
41857 | Ur is yu aiming ter immertate dat aintshunt?" |
41857 | Was it not a grief that lay like a dead bulk upon the heart, all the day and all the night; and peopled their dreams with negroes and ogres too? |
41857 | Was there ever such a people before? |
41857 | Well, den, how cum de drotted crick in de middle o''de rode? |
41857 | Well, den, how did de sperrets git inter de button? |
41857 | Were the twelve black jurors in the box his country? |

41857 | Whar wus yer when dey fit de war enny how?" |

41857 | What had become of the warning paragraph in the reconstruction calendar? |
41857 | What holy font was polluted by its baptism? |
41857 | What homes were ever like their homes? |
41857 | What is life without thee?" |
41857 | What is the matter with my dear father?" |
41857 | What is yer doing here in ole marser''s house, anyhow? |

41857 | What was dat?" |
41857 | What will they do with father Clarissa?" |
41857 | What you sez your name is?" |
41857 | Whatever shall I do with all this rubbish? |
41857 | When Joshua came within hailing distance, Hannah halloed to him;"Whay hez yu been all dis nite Joshaway? |
41857 | Whence its bastard origin? |
41857 | Where did you see God? |

41857 | Why did I ask about her father, blasted idiot that I am?" |
41857 | Why do n''t you know I would be miserable?" |
41857 | Why do n''t yu fetch dat aggrawating steer outen dar?" |
41857 | Why should I survive? |
41857 | Why starve and drown them as if they were vermin, without aspirations and without souls? |
41857 | Why this glozing title"Reconstruction?" |
41857 | Will he come with this fascination again? |
41857 | Will yer git er furlow und cum home arter de battle? |
41857 | Will you be kind enough to make the calculation and inform me what is due you, principal and interest?" |
41857 | Will you convey the message to him at your leisure?" |
41857 | Will you permit me to declare my passion-- my love-- for my queen, my beauty? |
41857 | With what a motley crowd of living characters Dickens has peopled our literature? |
41857 | Would there be mourners at the burial? |
41857 | Would you care to present your views in writing?" |
41857 | Would you know sweet Alice more intimately? |
41857 | Wud yu kno hit ef you wast to see hit mars Jon? |
41857 | Yea the guide that elaborates its beauties? |

41857 | blurted out Clarissa, as she wrung her hands,"und sposin hit do n''t go off ur nuffin; den whot? |
41857 | came the curse of this man of baleful power,"Where is he?" |
41857 | cried Clarissa;"Ergwine to de jail house fur nuffin in dis wurrul, me und ole marsa; und what is ergwine ter cum ob miss Alice?" |
41857 | cried the stranger;"I am sure we understand each other; but, my dear sir, the war is over-- why make imaginary assaults upon an imaginary enemy? |

41857 | ejaculated Joshua,"How''s a mishunnary ergwine to back slew, tell me dat? |
41857 | exclaimed the old man in white heat,"has it come to this?" |
41857 | grunted Hannah;"I nebber seed de lams cutting up sich shines in a grate house lak yu dun las nite; yu went to de weddin, did n''t yu Joshaway? |
41857 | had they ever given direction to his impulses as a patriot? |
41857 | had they ever nerved his arm to strike down the foe, that scourged his home into barrenness and peopled the city of the dead with his kindred? |
41857 | he exclaimed excitedly,"What is this?" |
41857 | he exclaimed in a passion,"Harkee Sally, hit is tit fur tat; be ye a pinin fur another fellow?" |
41857 | he exclaimed,"ond do ye call this free America? |
41857 | hez yu heerd de news, ur is yu pine plank ceasded? |

41857 | or was I dreaming ond heard the Angels singing,''We''ll trust our God who reigneth in the palace of the King?'' |
41857 | she asked entreatingly,"if I tell you that he was so true, so good, so brave, that I loved him so dearly?" |
41857 | so the humorist of the sixties could have written upon the shirt- front of the scalawag"Why do people hold their noses?" |
41857 | und yu set yo mouf for de barbeku, did n''t yu, und yu seed a harrykane too, did n''t yu?" |
41857 | which er way did dat harrykin cum from? |

33058 | ''But why did you think so in the first place?'' 33058 A whim? |
33058 | Ai n''t there no other woman in the world? |
33058 | Am I as bad as all that? 33058 And about Nan''s age? |
33058 | And in broad daylight? |
33058 | And what did Master Francis say to that? |
33058 | And what does Mr. Sanders think of it? |
33058 | And where do I come in? |
33058 | And why do you hide? 33058 And why should Gabriel get a parasol?" |
33058 | And you want to see Tomlin because you have had trouble; but why is it, Mr. Sanders, that your people never think of me when you have trouble? 33058 Are n''t you ashamed of yourself, Cephas, to treat me so? |
33058 | Are they red and swollen, Gabriel? |
33058 | Are you going out to Butts''s to- night? |
33058 | Are you ready, you cowardly hellian? |
33058 | Are you right certain about that, Mahlon? |
33058 | Are you right certain an''shore that this man Hotchkiss is stayin''wi''Mahlon Butts? |
33058 | Are you still angry, Cephas? |
33058 | Are you the Mr. Tomlin of whom I have heard my mother speak? |
33058 | Are you very fond of him? |
33058 | Ashamed, Paul? |
33058 | Blood? |
33058 | Brothers, is all well with you? |
33058 | But did n''t she give you some hint-- some intimation? 33058 But how are right and justice to prevail? |
33058 | But how did you know, child? |
33058 | But suppose they should take a notion to marry; what would you do to stop''em? |
33058 | But the ladies? |
33058 | But what about Margaret Gaither? |
33058 | But what about Paul? |
33058 | But what do you mean by a good deal? |
33058 | But will he ever wear a red feather in his hat and a red sash over his shoulder? |
33058 | But, mother,protested the young lady,"why worry about it? |
33058 | Ca n''t you see I''ve got on my Sunday duds? |
33058 | Can you keep a secret, Tolliver? |
33058 | Can you tell me,she said, turning to Mr. Sanders,"whether the Gaither Place is occupied? |
33058 | Cephas, will you see Paul Tomlin? |
33058 | De diffunce er what? |
33058 | Did Gabriel say I disliked him? |
33058 | Did I desert you when you were ill and delirious? 33058 Did I send you a letter?" |
33058 | Did Paul ever see my picture there? |
33058 | Did he know what you said? |
33058 | Did he say anything? |
33058 | Did he say that he wanted you to marry Frank Bethune? |
33058 | Did n''t Gabriel tell you? 33058 Did n''t you know when he kissed you good- night that something was wrong?" |
33058 | Did they have them hid? |
33058 | Did you ask Ike about it? |
33058 | Did you ever hear of a false alarm? 33058 Did you hang that thing up there for Paul to see it and ask questions about it?" |
33058 | Did you have a doctor? |
33058 | Did you leave anybody at home? |
33058 | Did you run hard just to ask me that? 33058 Did you see that great gawk of a boy?" |
33058 | Did you think I was going to swallow the joke that you and that Claiborne girl hatched up between you? 33058 Did you?" |
33058 | Do I look pale, my son? |
33058 | Do I, indeed? 33058 Do n''t you remember,"Nan went on in a reminiscent way,"that she made you shake hands with me that day? |
33058 | Do n''t you think the portrait flatters him? |
33058 | Do which, suh? |
33058 | Do you know anything against the young lady''s character? |
33058 | Do you know this Boring? |
33058 | Do you mean to tell me he never asked about his grandmother? |
33058 | Do you mean to tell me that your husband is dead? |
33058 | Do you pick raspberries with your mouth? |
33058 | Do you propose to let him go ahead and fall in love with the girl? |
33058 | Do you really feel so? |
33058 | Do you really feel that I would be justified if I confirmed the suspicions you have expressed? |
33058 | Do you really think so, mother? |
33058 | Do you remember how wildly you talked-- how insulting you were? |
33058 | Do you remember what I told you on the occasion of your first visit? |
33058 | Do you remember your first visit here? |
33058 | Do you think, Madam, that it is a matter for a joke? 33058 Do you- all know what I''ve gone an''done?" |
33058 | Does Tasma Tid belong to your church? |
33058 | Does bofe sides hafter take part in de rucus? |
33058 | Does you reely b''lieve, Br''er Jerry, dat Pulaski Tomlin will ever try ter put you back in slav''ry? |
33058 | Doing what? |
33058 | Ef I''d''a''fell out''n de waggon, honey, who gwine ter pick me up? |
33058 | Goodlett, who were the ladies you brought from Malvern to- day? |
33058 | Gus,said Mr. Sanders, without any ceremony,"you remember the row you come mighty nigh havin''wi''Tomlin Perdue, not so many years ago?" |
33058 | Hand in hand, Gabriel? 33058 Have we none?" |
33058 | Have you any special interest in my welfare? |
33058 | Heard of him? 33058 Hello, Colonel, how are you? |
33058 | His name was Bridlebin, or something of that kind, was it not? |
33058 | Honey,he said,"what must I do? |
33058 | Honey,she said to Paul,"how come yo''pa went ter de Gaither Place ter- night? |
33058 | How I gwine change um, honey? |
33058 | How are you, and how is the high and mighty Gabriel? |
33058 | How can you trouble me when I do n''t know what you mean? 33058 How come we name Tid? |
33058 | How come you dis away, Honey Nan? |
33058 | How could I forget, Nan? |
33058 | How could that be, sir? 33058 How do you know?" |
33058 | How should I? 33058 Howdy, girls? |
33058 | Huccum you in we house? 33058 I do n''t know your voice,"said Gabriel;"how did you know me?" |
33058 | I mean, have n''t you changed their places? |
33058 | I see,said the Captain;"wherever Gabriel goes, you are willing to go?" |
33058 | I was n''t very nice to you, was I? |
33058 | I wonder if Tomlin Perdue would n''t let me into the row? |
33058 | I wonder who in the world they can be? |
33058 | I? 33058 I? |
33058 | If I had those miserable creatures in my power, do you know what I would do? 33058 If I want to sell my cotton? |
33058 | Is Miss Polly Gaither useful? |
33058 | Is Mr. Goodlett in? |
33058 | Is dis war, honey? |
33058 | Is it important? |
33058 | Is it sure enough love? |
33058 | Is my mouf dat red? |
33058 | Is n''t he at home? 33058 Is she got a wen?" |
33058 | Is that so? 33058 Is that so?" |
33058 | Is that so? |
33058 | Is that so? |
33058 | Is that the trouble? |
33058 | Is that the way you do, when Gabriel comes and kisses you in the night? |
33058 | Is that you, Mr. Hotchkiss? 33058 Is the Judge really here?" |
33058 | Is this Dr. Dorrington? 33058 Is you ever seed him do dis away befo''sence he been born?" |
33058 | It happened in Malvern, did n''t it? |
33058 | Long- come- shorts, what are they? |
33058 | Major,he said, when he found opportunity to state the nature of his business,"do you know young Gabe Tolliver?" |
33058 | Margaret,said Nan, in a most serious tone,"has he or Aunt Fanny ever treated you unkindly?" |
33058 | May I see my daughter? |
33058 | Miss Fanny,she said, turning to the lady,"how come dat chile lef''home?" |
33058 | Miss Genia,said the girl,"is Mr. Paul here?" |
33058 | Mr. Sanders, has Tomlin Perdue been dropping his wing about that fuss? 33058 My dear, did n''t these young men, and the Yankees who arrested them, take the train here?" |
33058 | My dear, what put it into that wise little head of yours to come and comfort an old woman? |
33058 | Nan,she said,"will you take a boarder for-- for-- for I do n''t know how long?" |
33058 | Nonny,she cried,"do I really walk that way, and finger my skirt so?" |
33058 | Now, Mammy Rhody, why did you do that? |
33058 | Now, then,said Captain Falconer, with an answering smile,"how would you like to go with me?" |
33058 | Now, what in the ding- nation is that woman up to? 33058 Now, what is the matter?" |
33058 | Now, what_ do_ you mean by that, Johnny? |
33058 | Now, what_ is_ the trouble, Rhody? 33058 Oh, Gabriel-- but why do you mention Gabriel?" |
33058 | Oh, I wonder when we''ll all be at peace and happy again? |
33058 | Oh, did you? |
33058 | Oh, is it all true? 33058 Oh, is that so? |
33058 | Oh, is that you? |
33058 | Oh, you want me to go too? |
33058 | Shall I go? |
33058 | Shall I tell her, Paul? 33058 Shall I tell mother that you have given your promise to call soon?" |
33058 | She is,replied Gabriel;"but if she permits me to call her Nan, why should any one else object?" |
33058 | Suppose it''s a rainy day, Buck; what then? |
33058 | Teasing? 33058 That''s Paul all over; but what will the poor boy think when he finds out what you know?" |
33058 | Then why did you come here and pretend-- pretend-- ain''t you Ritta Rozelle, that used to be? |
33058 | Then why should he act as he does? |
33058 | Then, what in the world will I do? |
33058 | They are somewhat red, but----"But what? |
33058 | This is the first quarrel,Nan declared,"and who knows how it will all end? |
33058 | Tolliver, where are you? 33058 Tomlin is my brother- in- law-- But where are you going now?" |
33058 | Was he a Frenchman? |
33058 | Was he angry with any one? |
33058 | Was he really there? |
33058 | Was he wounded in the war, or is he jest up to some of his old- time devilment? |
33058 | Was that all? |
33058 | Well, I wonder what''s he up to? |
33058 | Well, have n''t I left you alone? |
33058 | Well, tell me this,Nan insisted;"what did he talk about when he woke up? |

33058 | Well, what is the trouble, child? |
33058 | Well, what of it? |
33058 | Well, why do n''t you congratulate me? |
33058 | Well, why not? 33058 Well, you were there,"replied Mrs. Dorrington,"and since that is so, why not make a joke of it? |

33058 | What does this she- devil mean? |
33058 | What in the world have I done,she remarked,"to receive a letter from Shady Dale?" |
33058 | What is it you wish? |
33058 | What is it? |
33058 | What is the matter with Gabriel? |
33058 | What is the matter? |

33058 | What''s that? |
33058 | What''s the difference between Battercakes and Muffins? 33058 What''s the matter, Sam?" |
33058 | What''s up now? |
33058 | What''s your mouth for, Gus? 33058 Wher''in the nation did he go?" |
33058 | Where are you and Cephas going? |

33058 | Where do you stay? |
33058 | Where have you been? 33058 Where is that?" |
33058 | Where is your home? |

33058 | Who--_me_? 33058 Who?" |
33058 | Whoever heard of that man pretending, or trying to deceive any one? 33058 Why ca n''t you tell me?" |
33058 | Why did they tell her at all? 33058 Why did you come here hunting for Paul?" |
33058 | Why did you come here? |
33058 | Why do you ask? |
33058 | Why do you hate the wooden- leg man, honey? 33058 Why do you look at me like that, Gabriel?" |
33058 | Why should it mean anything? |
33058 | Why will you ladies,he said,"persist in putting that sort of stuff on you?" |
33058 | Why, Pulaski, what on earth is the matter? |
33058 | Why, do you mean to tell me that any girl can be unhappy? 33058 Why, honey, what ails you? |
33058 | Why, honey, what good would it do? |
33058 | Why, how could she know? |
33058 | Why, what could he say? 33058 Why, what do they mean?" |

33058 | Why, when did you come? 33058 Why, whoever heard of such a thing?" |
33058 | Why, you said,''Well, what is that to me?'' |
33058 | Why? |
33058 | Will you come with me to my house? |
33058 | Wo n''t you come in an''rest? 33058 Wo n''t you come in?" |
33058 | Would n''t it be best for some one to call-- some one who was her friend? |
33058 | Would you uv believed it, William? 33058 Yes, I did say that, but did n''t I go to your house, and tell you what to say to Gabriel?" |
33058 | Yes, I know I should be; but suppose you were in my shoes, would you be happy? |
33058 | You are not afraid for yourself; why should you be afraid for those people? |
33058 | You are the sister who was going to school in-- wasn''t it Boston? |
33058 | You did n''t expect to find me roosting around out here, did you? |
33058 | You did n''t tell him, then? |
33058 | You do n''t want him to be the laughing- stock of the people, do you? |
33058 | You got''i m in the league all right, I hope? |
33058 | You gwine, is you? |
33058 | You have another engagement? |
33058 | You hear dat, people? |
33058 | You say Margaret Gaither has a daughter, Gabriel? |
33058 | You think that looks like war? |
33058 | You told your husband that? 33058 You''ve been Bethuning Nan and me for ever so long, grandmother: what do you think of this?" |
33058 | _ He did?_cried the others. |
33058 | _ He_ in dar? 33058 ''Can you not conceive a reason why you should not see him now-- at this time, and for many days to come?'' 33058 ''Do you know why he does n''t want her to see him?'' 33058 ''Do you know, Fanny?'' 33058 ''This is Miss Gaither?'' 33058 ''Why, what-- what is the trouble?'' 33058 ''Why?'' 33058 ''You ai n''t afeard to come?'' 33058 Ab? |
33058 | Absalom?--how are you?" |
33058 | Ai n''t I been tellin''you dat you''d run''i m off wid yo''scrimpin''an''pinchin''? |
33058 | Ai n''t I been tellin''you how''twould be? |
33058 | Ai n''t there some way you can break Gabriel''s?" |
33058 | Ai n''t you comin''? |
33058 | All of a sudden, Fanny Tomlin----""You mean Aunt Fanny?" |
33058 | Am I losing caste in your community?" |
33058 | And do you go and sit before it, and study it, and sometimes shake your finger at it playfully? |
33058 | And how could you describe the harmony that time has brought about between the fine old houses and the setting in which they are grouped? |
33058 | And how did she look?" |
33058 | And how in the world did he manage to get in the waggon, and crawl on the inside of the sham bale of cotton and hide so that nobody could see him? |
33058 | And how is Margaret?" |
33058 | And if they ca n''t get some native- born white man to run, who do you reckon they''ll have to put up as a candidate? |
33058 | And is the wind really blowing in that quarter?" |
33058 | And the girls-- Tolliver, when did you get acquainted with them? |
33058 | And what did Paul and Jesse have to say? |
33058 | And when Mr. Sanders told her, she cried out,"Oh, why do n''t they leave her alone?" |
33058 | And whoever heard of putting butter on poun''-cake?" |
33058 | And why do you walk so fast? |
33058 | And yet if you were called upon to define the nature of the spell, what could you say? |
33058 | Are you ill?" |
33058 | Are you ill?" |
33058 | Are you prepared to sustain a very severe shock?'' |
33058 | Are you unhappy, too?" |
33058 | As for vanity, what on earth have I to be vain of?" |
33058 | But I want to ask you: ai n''t you some kin to John Barbour Falconer?" |
33058 | But do you have Meriwether''s portrait hanging in your parlour? |
33058 | But ef it was right here, how could I git to it? |
33058 | But he was not sure that he heard the laugh, and how, he asked himself, could he imagine that it was Nan Dorrington''s even if he had heard it? |
33058 | But now-- you see Ab over there? |
33058 | But suppose they did n''t turn over and go back to sleep: does n''t that make matters worse? |
33058 | But that hill business, and the mooning-- how about them? |
33058 | But what did it all mean? |
33058 | But when did the precepts of age and experience ever succeed in chilling the enthusiasm of youth? |
33058 | But why are you sorry for our young women?" |
33058 | But why do you ask? |
33058 | But wo n''t dey be a wakin''up when de time come?" |
33058 | CHAPTER TEN_ The Troubles of Nan_"Why, what on earth ails the child?" |
33058 | Ca n''t you slide down without hurting your feelings?" |
33058 | Ca n''t you trust me?" |
33058 | Can she hear what I am about to say?" |
33058 | Can you blame''em? |
33058 | Can you imagine that my mission here is pleasant to me? |
33058 | Could we expect anything less from those who have been brought up to believe that slavery is a divine institution?" |
33058 | Did I put faith in an anonymous letter and believe you to be dead?" |
33058 | Did he ask about any of the home- folks?" |
33058 | Did n''t you notice that I recited my piece much as a school- boy would?" |
33058 | Did you ever notice the way she holds her head? |
33058 | Did you ever notice, Cephas, how funny people are when they are really in earnest?" |
33058 | Did you ever pass along by a pastur''at night, an''hear a cow fetch a long sigh? |
33058 | Did you ever think of that, Tolliver? |
33058 | Did you guess?" |
33058 | Did you know? |
33058 | Did you see her, Gabriel? |
33058 | Did you think I was bold to send for you?" |
33058 | Do n''t you know me, Marse Billy? |
33058 | Do n''t you see how well I know you? |
33058 | Do n''t you think I am old enough to be trusted?" |
33058 | Do n''t you think it would be extremely pert in a young girl to make fun of a gentleman old enough to be her father?" |
33058 | Do n''t you think so, Nan?" |
33058 | Do n''t you think so, sweet child?" |
33058 | Do you dislike poor folks?" |
33058 | Do you know why he is called Neighbour Tomlin? |
33058 | Do you know, Meriwether?" |
33058 | Do you mean to insinuate that you intend to offer yourself as the horrible example? |
33058 | Do you realise that there is nothing but a whim betwixt me and disgrace-- betwixt Paul and disgrace?" |
33058 | Do you reckon I''d tell that to anybody that cared anything for him? |
33058 | Do you reckon I''m fool enough to tell Gabriel that you''ll die if he do n''t come home soon?" |
33058 | Do you remember what I told you about those people?" |
33058 | Do you remember what time it was when Gabriel come home the night Hotchkiss was killed?" |
33058 | Do you suppose I have no feelings?" |
33058 | Do you suppose I would have sat by you on the sofa, and held your hand if I had not known it?" |
33058 | Do you suppose that Eugenia Claiborne, or any other decent woman would marry the son of a scalawag?" |
33058 | Do you think it does you justice?" |
33058 | Do you think that I''m tryin''to make money?" |
33058 | Do you want to make your best friends miserable?" |
33058 | Does n''t it seem ridiculous?" |
33058 | Does she receive visitors?" |
33058 | En spozen he wa''nt, how you speck me ter spell sump''n er somebody which I ai n''t never laid eyes on? |
33058 | Gabe?" |
33058 | Gabriel promptly gave his word that he would never mention anything about Bridalbin''s name, and then he said--"But this parade-- what does it mean?" |
33058 | Gabriel, will you run over, and ask Fanny Tomlin to come? |
33058 | Goodlett?" |
33058 | Had she gone for a drink of water, or for a book? |
33058 | Has anybody pestered you? |
33058 | Has he been making remarks?" |
33058 | Has he been rude to you, Nan?" |
33058 | Have n''t we been friends since we were children together? |
33058 | Have you ever heard of Captain Buck Sanford?" |
33058 | Have you two heard anything?" |
33058 | He did n''t need it, did he?" |
33058 | He knew, of course, that he was playing with fire, but what of that? |
33058 | He say,''Which away, Pidgin?'' |
33058 | He tried to say,"What did you hear, Paul?" |
33058 | He went ter bed wid de headache, an''he got up wid it; an''what you call dat, ef''taint bein''sick? |
33058 | His first word was about his sister:''Is Fanny hurt?'' |
33058 | Honey, what on earth ails you? |
33058 | Hotchkiss?" |
33058 | Hotchkiss?" |
33058 | How I gwineter spell Johnny Murrell, an''him done dead dis many a long year ago?" |
33058 | How come we ai n''t name Tasma Tid?" |
33058 | How could I tell you anything before others? |
33058 | How could he? |
33058 | How did Gabriel look when he ran from the depot at Malvern? |
33058 | How did he enjoy himself? |
33058 | How fur is t''other place?" |
33058 | How many men has Buck Sanford winged?" |
33058 | How was it with me? |
33058 | How you call you''name?" |
33058 | How you speck I kin git''long, haulin''an''maulin'', ef I dunner how ter spell? |
33058 | How''d you pick up the lingo?" |
33058 | Howdy, howdy?" |
33058 | I could go down thar myself, an''I''d be glad to, but could I git to have a private talk wi''Gabriel? |
33058 | I expected cheerfulness from you at least, but what do I find? |
33058 | I make a racket? |
33058 | I say,''Jerry, what de matter wid Sis''Rhody?'' |
33058 | I says to her, says I,''What put that idee in your head, Becky?'' |
33058 | I says, says I,''Becky, what''s to hender you from takin''supper here to- night?'' |
33058 | I suppose you never had any trouble?" |
33058 | I wonder what her father will say when he comes?" |
33058 | I wonder what we have done out this way that old Picayune should be sneakin''around here? |
33058 | If my old friend loves me well enough to be anxious to give my wife and children pleasure, what is there wrong about that?" |
33058 | If you do n''t have something sweet to tell me when you come back, I''ll think you detest me-- wasn''t that Gabriel''s word? |
33058 | Is Paul not to come home any more? |
33058 | Is he yever loant yo''ma any money?" |
33058 | Is it really and truly true, or is it a dream?" |
33058 | Is n''t she a bold piece?'' |
33058 | Is n''t that the way they do when there''s a war?" |
33058 | Is she in the room? |
33058 | Is that you, Tiddy Me Tas?" |
33058 | Is this woman really his wife?" |
33058 | Is you gwine ter cripple de cow dat gives de cream?" |
33058 | Jeremiah, witnessing the performance, had his curiosity aroused:"What is de word you uv writ, suh?" |
33058 | Me not know dat man? |
33058 | Murrell?" |
33058 | My son, when and where did you come to know all these young ladies?" |
33058 | Nan dropped a low curtsey, saying,"Oh, thank you, sir-- what was the gentleman''s name, Cephas-- the gentleman who was such a cavalier?" |
33058 | Now what, in law, is the man''s status? |
33058 | Now, how did she know?" |
33058 | Now, what do they mean by that?" |
33058 | Now, what do you suppose would be the simplest way to do this?" |
33058 | Now, what do you think of it, Lucy?" |
33058 | Now, what do you think of that?" |
33058 | Of Mr. Lazenby, she said later:"What''s the use of choosin''betwixt a fool an''a fiddler, when you can git both in the same package?" |
33058 | Oh, what do you think? |
33058 | Once Nan had asked her--"Grandmother Lumsden, what is the perfume I smell every time I come here? |
33058 | Or did he run because he saw me coming?" |
33058 | Or were you at a Sunday- school picnic when it was rung in? |
33058 | Paul is a very good friend of mine, and I could wish him well wherever he might be; but how would you feel, sir, if he were never to return?" |
33058 | Sanders, have you heard from Gabriel?'' |
33058 | Sanders?" |
33058 | Sanders?" |
33058 | Sanders?" |
33058 | Sanders?" |
33058 | Sanders?" |
33058 | Seeing no one but Silas, she cried out indignantly,"Who dat slammin''dat front do''? |
33058 | Shall she come in?'' |
33058 | She said she knew their names well enough when they were pulling the carriage, but now--"Have n''t you changed the horses, Uncle Plato?" |
33058 | She says,''I''d like it the best in the world, Britt; but do n''t you think I''d better be at home-- to- night?'' |
33058 | She''s a fine gal, ai n''t she?" |
33058 | Should they cease their patronage, what would he and Edie do for victuals to eat and clothes to wear? |
33058 | Some folks got de idee dat kaze I''m fat I''m bleeze ter be long- sufferin''; but you know better''n dat, do n''t you?" |
33058 | Something was wrong, but what? |
33058 | Tell me honestly, Aunt Fanny, now while I am in the humour to hear it, what do I do that is so terrible?" |
33058 | That much he could gather from Tidwell''s declaration; but who? |
33058 | The Yanks did n''t take the town off, did they?" |
33058 | The people felt that something must be done, but what? |
33058 | Then looking hard at the girl, he bluntly asked,"Is there anything between you and Paul?" |
33058 | Then the youngest, she''s the daughter, she says, says she,''Is that reely him, ma?'' |
33058 | There was no answer to this, but presently Bethune turned to Gabriel and said:"Why do you dislike me, Tolliver?" |
33058 | They ca n''t be afraid of the Yankee soldiers, can they? |
33058 | They walked on a little way, when the lawyer suddenly turned to Silas and said:"Mr. Tomlin, will you fetch that magazine in to- morrow? |
33058 | They''ve been hanging around-- why, howdye, Mr. Sanders? |
33058 | Tidwell, who was the red- headed girl that raved so about Tolliver''s curls?" |
33058 | Was he frightened? |
33058 | Was n''t it splendiferous? |
33058 | Was our public press, the palladium of our liberties, losing its prestige and influence? |
33058 | Was the beetle preparing to eat the mouse? |
33058 | Well, Mr. Tolliver, why are you so desirous of knowing whether I go to Butts''s to- night?" |
33058 | Well, you do n''t reckon I want to give it away, do you? |
33058 | Were Meriwether Clopton and Mr. Sanders about to join the radicals? |
33058 | Were n''t you frightened to death?" |
33058 | Whaffer you come dey? |
33058 | What are you hiding out here for anyway?" |
33058 | What business he got dar?" |
33058 | What case? |
33058 | What de name er goodness he doin''here?" |
33058 | What did you think of Lincoln anyhow?" |
33058 | What does Adam Smith say? |
33058 | What has been the trouble to- day?" |
33058 | What in the world is the matter wi''old Billy?" |
33058 | What is I ever done to you?" |
33058 | What is she trying to do, I wonder? |
33058 | What is the gentleman''s name?" |
33058 | What is to be done?" |
33058 | What is your name?" |
33058 | What is your name?" |
33058 | What is your name?" |
33058 | What is your opinion?" |
33058 | What more could any man ask? |
33058 | What of your mother?" |
33058 | What was he sayin''?" |
33058 | What would she say and do next? |
33058 | What you do with Ike?" |
33058 | What you done done ter dat chile? |
33058 | What you reckon I been doin''all deze long- come- shorts ef I dunner how ter spell? |
33058 | When and where and how did I ever do you a wrong?" |
33058 | When did you tell him?" |
33058 | Wher''s Ike?" |
33058 | Where are you, Lucy?" |
33058 | Where did they go?" |
33058 | Where does he stand? |
33058 | Where is Dorrington? |
33058 | Where''s anybody in these diggin''s that''s any bigger or stouter? |
33058 | Who is in there?" |
33058 | Who shall judge? |
33058 | Whoever heard of rescuing persons by inviting them to supper?" |
33058 | Why did they think it was necessary?" |
33058 | Why did you go away and leave me?" |
33058 | Why do n''t the folks here wake up? |
33058 | Why do n''t you ask your Mr. Bethune to take your place, or at least go with you?" |
33058 | Why do n''t you ketch hands an''run to play? |
33058 | Why do n''t you put supper on the table?" |
33058 | Why is n''t he here?'' |
33058 | Why should you be sorry?" |
33058 | Would I permit her to sit in a chair near the door of the room in which Pulaski lay, until such time as she could see him? |
33058 | Would n''t she think I was very bold?" |
33058 | Yes, and the hand of the son of the First Settler( could their eyes deceive them?) |
33058 | You cried bekase old Billy Sanders was drunk, did n''t you, Nan? |
33058 | You have to pass the time away anyhow, an''what better way is they than workin''for them you like? |
33058 | You know Miss Nan Dorrington, do n''t you, Colonel Blasengame? |
33058 | You know that short, single- barrel shebang? |
33058 | You know, of course, that she is very ill; will you go up and speak with her?" |
33058 | You remember Robert Gaither? |
33058 | You remember how, before the war, we used to sneer at the Yankees for their money- making proclivities? |
33058 | You saw that rascal talking to the niggers awhile ago, did n''t you? |
33058 | You say dat boy sha''n''t marry de gal; but how come you courtin''de mammy?" |
33058 | You say they ai n''t no way for you to break Gabriel''s heart, too?" |
33058 | You say your husband is not in? |
33058 | You women----""Ca n''t I have my own views? |
33058 | You''ve had mighty hard work; what is it all wuth?'' |
33058 | _ Why_ do you want to advise me?" |

33058 | ca n''t you tell a feller howdy?''" |
33058 | cried Nan;"what could have put such an idea in his head?" |
33058 | exclaimed Gabriel impatiently;"who''s been talking of the affairs of Miss Dorrington in that way?" |
33058 | exclaimed Mrs. Lumsden, laughing;"what put in your head the idea that you are pretty?" |
33058 | gormandise, an''set in the shade? |
33058 | has the yeth caved in?" |
33058 | he cried;"who is you- all anyhow? |
33058 | he exclaimed,"what are you doing out there? |
33058 | how could Rhody, in her ignorance and blindness, probe the recesses of a soul as reticent as that of Silas Tomlin? |
33058 | how''d you know that? |
33058 | said one of the cotton- buyers, taking advantage of a momentary pause in Mr. Tidwell''s monologue;"how are you getting on these days?" |
33058 | she exclaimed, and then,"Why did n''t you fall off the waggon?" |
33058 | snorted Rhody,"how come dat ai n''t cross my mind? |
33058 | what is the matter with you? |
33058 | when will you come down from your clouds?" |
33058 | where are you? |

6058 | A lady? 6058 About yourself?" |
6058 | Accept, man? 6058 Ah, d''ye hear that, b''ys? |
6058 | Ah, you seem to be quite an admirer of her? |
6058 | Am I at liberty to inform him of the nature of the testament which you have made? |
6058 | Am I not with you? |

6058 | And Buzzard''s Bay? |
6058 | And Hesden? |
6058 | And are you not? |
6058 | And do n''t know his name? |
6058 | And has any one else offered to turn men off for comin''here? |
6058 | And has every Richards and Le Moyne on the planet a right to challenge my opinions? |
6058 | And that was in 1794? |
6058 | And then-- if-- if there was-- anything wrong? |
6058 | And was Noah and his family well when you bid''em good- by? |
6058 | And would you believe my word if I assured you that this was the fact? |
6058 | And you a white man? |
6058 | And you came across the Sound alone in an open boat? |
6058 | And you do not desire the election held here? |
6058 | And you think such a system might be applied to a Government appropriation? |
6058 | And you would give up your home? |
6058 | Any answer, ma''arn? |
6058 | Anybody hurt? |
6058 | Anybody with you? |
6058 | Anybody you can send for him? |
6058 | Anything the matter, Maggie? |
6058 | Are you in pain, dear? |
6058 | Are you willing to try? |
6058 | Be you the clerk, sail? |
6058 | Blame you? 6058 Born where?" |
6058 | Bre''er Nimbus,said Eliab solemnly,"you gib me your word you git all dis money honestly?" |
6058 | Brekfas'', Miss Mollie? |
6058 | Business wid me? |
6058 | But I heard der was a law---"Have you been living together as man and wife? |
6058 | But did n''t yer leave the house locked when you came here? |
6058 | But how can you, dear? |
6058 | But how did you come to find it? 6058 But how did you come to have dis one-- Ware?" |
6058 | But how do you know that it_ is_ his will? |
6058 | But how shall we repeat the experiment? 6058 But how would you do it?" |
6058 | But if it does not, Hesden? |
6058 | But if my explanation is thus far sufficient, will you allow me to sit down while I tell you the rest? 6058 But suppose I were?" |
6058 | But suppose these states should refuse to submit to such inspection, or accept such appropriation? |
6058 | But suppose-- suppose there should not be; what would be the effect? |
6058 | But was there no equivalent system of local self- government in those states? |
6058 | But whar''bouts in de house yer gwine ter put him, Marse Hesden? |
6058 | But what about Red Wing? |
6058 | But what can you do? 6058 But what for? |
6058 | But what have you in that bundle, Captain? |
6058 | But what reason can you give for this belief? |
6058 | But what then? |
6058 | But what yer gwine ter do wid de ole house? |
6058 | But what, my dear? |
6058 | But why not, Nimbus? |
6058 | But why should this affect you? |
6058 | But you are not a Radical? |
6058 | But you are not bound to do that? |
6058 | But you did n''t lick Ben, did you, Berry? |
6058 | But you must have another name? |
6058 | But your mother, Hesden, what of her? |
6058 | But, see h''yer, Mister, ai n''t de law a doin dis ter make dem lawful chillen? |
6058 | But_ how?_said the other querulously. |
6058 | By the Ku Klux? |
6058 | By whom? |
6058 | Can I see the General, gentlemen? |
6058 | Can not? |
6058 | Can ye see the Gineral, Kurnel? |
6058 | Collect? |
6058 | Could n''t we hab a church here? |
6058 | Cousin Hetty,said the invalid,"will you ask Hesden to come here for a moment?" |
6058 | Dar, now, jes see what yer done git fer being so contrary- like, will yer? |
6058 | Dat did n''t save me from bein''stripped an''beat, did it? |
6058 | Dat''s what dat ar sheriff man said my Nimbus was-- a non--_non_--what, Miss Mollie? 6058 Dead?" |
6058 | Den I begun ter be skeered- like, an''I sez, sez I,''Arn''t yer gwine ter let me stay an''gether my crap?'' 6058 Den he sez''Who''s a oberseein''dar now?'' |
6058 | Den he sez,''An''how do all de ban''s on Knapp- o Reeds git''long wid ole Marse Potem an''Marse Si War''?'' 6058 Den yer jes take back dem hard words yer spoke''bout Berry, wo n''t yer now, Cousin Nimbus?" |
6058 | Der Lo''d an''der nation, what will happen next? 6058 Dey''s been hunted like''em too, eh?" |
6058 | Did it ever? 6058 Did n''t I tell yer dat Nimbus was safe, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | Did n''t they tell you you''d be worse off with the Yankees than you were with them? |
6058 | Did n''t you believe them? |
6058 | Did what? |
6058 | Did you ever know anything about his family there? |
6058 | Did you ever know anything mean or disreputable about him? |
6058 | Did you ever see such a change? |
6058 | Did you know him then? |
6058 | Did''Gena get away, Nimbus? |
6058 | Died, yer say? |
6058 | Dis yours too, Bre''er Nimbus? |
6058 | Do n''t I? 6058 Do n''t yer see how dey cotch derselves? |
6058 | Do n''t you see that I have been out and gathered leaves and flowers to decorate your room, in honor of the event? |
6058 | Do they keep up their former intimacy? |
6058 | Do you accept the terms? |
6058 | Do you hang it right up after cutting? |
6058 | Do you know whether he ever corresponded with any of our relatives at the North? |
6058 | Do you mean it? |
6058 | Do you mean that you are not accustomed as I am to invalidism, and hardly like the notion of supping in bed as an introduction to strangers? 6058 Do you think so, Hesden?" |
6058 | Do you think-- that-- that this will is genuine? |
6058 | Does she know her good luck? |
6058 | Down ter Red Wing, sah? |
6058 | Due her? 6058 Ebber you see de beat ub dat? |

6058 | Gittin''on, did yer say? 6058 Going away? |
6058 | Has no other complaint been lodged against Colonel Desmit? |
6058 | Have n''t I been kind to you always? |
6058 | Have n''t you got anything to drink, Ware? |
6058 | Have you any further complaint to make against Colonel Desmit? |
6058 | Have you owned him long? |
6058 | Have you seen her? |
6058 | Have you seen my horse, Midnight? |
6058 | How I git it? |
6058 | How about Nimbus? |

6058 | How did you get a boat, then? |
6058 | How did you get here? |
6058 | How do you come to be here? |
6058 | How do you connect with the consequences, which can not be doubted, the cause you assign? 6058 How do you do, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | How do you like him? |
6058 | How is dis, Nimbus? 6058 How many are there?" |
6058 | How much have you got here? |
6058 | How old are you? |
6058 | How old do you think-- twenty- one? |
6058 | How so? |
6058 | How yer do, Berry? 6058 How you get it?" |
6058 | How''d ye hear dat? |

6058 | How''s dat, Berry? |
6058 | How? |
6058 | I beg your pardon, little mother,said Hesden smiling;"but was it to make this inquiry you called me from my business?" |
6058 | I do n''t mean ter ax ef yer''s jes got nothin''agin''him, but is yer that kind ob a friend ez''ll stan''by him in trouble? |
6058 | I''m a Radical? |
6058 | If we do not accept her proposal, you will no doubt become her attorney? |
6058 | If you were in a tight place, would you have confidence in Jordan Jackson as a friend? |
6058 | In his young days? |
6058 | In this county? |
6058 | Indeed? 6058 Indeed? |
6058 | Indeed? |
6058 | Is anybody hurt? |
6058 | Is dat de law, Mister Sheriff? |
6058 | Is dat you, Berry? |
6058 | Is dat you,''Gena? |
6058 | Is he white? |
6058 | Is it anything surprising,said he,"that the day I lost him should be the day he captured him?" |
6058 | Is n''t Hetty one of the family? |
6058 | Is n''t Marblehead near Cape Cod? |
6058 | Is she long or short, fat or lean, dark or fair? 6058 Is that all?" |
6058 | Is that it, Lorency? |
6058 | Is that you, Nimbus? 6058 Is that you, Nimbus?" |
6058 | Is the church all burned down, Nimbus? |
6058 | Is you hurt, honey? |
6058 | Is you willin'', Marse War''? |
6058 | It was not Uncle John''s usual signature, then? |
6058 | Just look at this old sunflower, will you? 6058 Kase white folks wo n''t see good fine- terbacker lan''when dey walks ober it, tain''t my fault, is it?" |
6058 | Kase why? |
6058 | Keep it up? 6058 Lick him? |

6058 | Marse Desmit? |
6058 | Marse Hesden, does yer mind de loft ober de ole dinin''-room, whar we all used ter play ob a Sunday? |
6058 | Marse Hesden,whispered the colored man, laying a hand trembling with excitement on his shoulder as he came near,"is yer a friend ter''Liab Hill?" |
6058 | Mean? 6058 Might he not have meant any or all of these?" |
6058 | Miss Mollie,he said, tenderly,"will you forgive my not coming before?" |
6058 | Nimbus owns the land, do n''t he? |
6058 | Nimbus what? |
6058 | Nimbus what? |
6058 | Nimbus? 6058 Nimbus? |
6058 | Nimbus? |
6058 | No more tain''t, Nimbus; but do n''t yer s''pose yer Marse Potem''s smartly worried over it? |
6058 | No, Miss Mollie, but do n''t yer know dat de Ku Kluckers ai n''t a- gwine ter fergit it? |
6058 | No? 6058 No? |
6058 | No? 6058 Nothing else? |
6058 | Now what''s de use o''votin''agin dat? 6058 Now you, Berry,"said Nimbus, extending his hand heartily,"what for yer no tell me dis afore?" |
6058 | Now, Cousin Nimbus, yer ai n''t in airnest, is yer? 6058 Now, Nimbus, have n''t I always been a good master to you?" |
6058 | Oh, Bre''er Nimbus, yer do n''t mean dat now? |
6058 | Oh, hold on,said Desmit;"how old is it, Lorency?" |
6058 | Oh, my son, what does she know of family pride? |
6058 | Oh, why-- why, Hesden, should she do that? 6058 Only one?" |
6058 | P''litical trouble? |
6058 | Perhaps so,good- naturedly, taking back the certificate;"what do you want me to write?" |
6058 | Poor but honest? |
6058 | Pshaw, now,said Nimbus,"''what sort o''way is dat ter hev things? |
6058 | Reckon you hardly expected me to day? |
6058 | Robbed, did he say? |
6058 | Run away? |
6058 | Say dat agin'', wo n''t yer, Mahs''r? |
6058 | She was a Lomax-- Margaret Lomax, I believe?'' 6058 Sho, sho, Berry,"replied Nimbus, reproachfully;"what makes Sally sech a big fool? |
6058 | Sis,he said, calling her by the pet name of their childhood,"what day of the month is it?" |
6058 | So hit appears; but ai n''t it quare dat I should hev ole Mahs''r''s name widout his gibbin''it ter me, ner my axin''fer it, Mister? |
6058 | So you really think,said the Northerner dubiously,"that such a measure would produce good results even in the present generation?" |
6058 | So you''s done put in dat name-- Desmit? |
6058 | So: you''re the curer at Knapp- of- Reeds, I believe? |
6058 | Sued you? 6058 Sure? |
6058 | Tell the truth, Berry; when did you eat last? |
6058 | That? 6058 The first name he ever knew? |
6058 | Then why are you doing this? 6058 Then why did n''t you take your old mahs''r''s name, like de rest, and not have all dis trouble?" |
6058 | Then,said the old man,"what''s we ter do fer a libbin''? |
6058 | They say your name is Desmit-- Nimbus Desmit,said the officer;"is that so?" |
6058 | Think? 6058 Tink so, Bre''er Nimbus? |
6058 | To return-- when? |
6058 | Very true; but why should not the Nation distribute a like bounty upon the same system? 6058 Wal now, ai n''t dat cool? |
6058 | Wal, now, that was kind of him, was n''t it? |
6058 | Wal,continued Lugena,"do n''t yer see? |
6058 | Wal,''Gena? |
6058 | Want a blank? |
6058 | War that yours, misther? |
6058 | Was he a slave? 6058 Was he then alive?" |
6058 | Was it Marblehead? |
6058 | Was my grandfather a bachelor when he came here? |
6058 | Was n''t that your old master''s name? |
6058 | Was that the way this was bought? |
6058 | Was that you, Nimbus? |
6058 | Well, I thought you were sure that Nimbus was safe? |
6058 | Well, Lorency, Mr. Ware says you have made me a present since I was here? |
6058 | Well, did you ever know anything disreputable about_ me?_keenly. |
6058 | Well, did you find any descendants of this''Red Jim''living? |
6058 | Well, ma''am,said the sheriff,"what do you think should be done now?" |
6058 | Well, on whose land do you work? |
6058 | Well, then, ai n''t it yours too? |
6058 | Well, then, that''s yours, ai n''t it-- your surname-- Nimbus Desmit? |
6058 | Well, were n''t you saucy, Nimbus? 6058 Well, what did I do? |
6058 | Well, what else? |
6058 | Well, what is her name, and when does she wish to take possession? |
6058 | Well, what is it? |
6058 | Well, what then? 6058 Well, why was it?" |
6058 | Well, would you do me a good turn to pay for that? |
6058 | Well,said Hesden,"did you connect him with this will?" |
6058 | Well,said Hesden,"have you found the heirs?" |
6058 | Well,said the clerk as he took up his pen and prepared to fill out the blank,"what is your name?" |
6058 | Well? |
6058 | Well? |

6058 | Yer do n''t say so, Nimbus? |
6058 | Yer do n''t tink so? 6058 Yer hain''t seen no ghosteses nor nuffin'', bez ye?" |
6058 | Yer hain''t turned politician, hez yer? |
6058 | Yes, Bre''er Nimbus, but who''s a- gwine ter s''port''em while we''s waitin''fer de white folks ter back down, I wants ter know? |
6058 | Yes, here it is, sure''nough, Nimbus; but did n''t you promise me you would n''t have so many names? |
6058 | Yes, ma''am, I hears; but whar you gwine, Miss Mollie? |
6058 | Yes, sah? |
6058 | Yes,said the clerk, just glancing up, but not intermitting his work;"what do you want?" |
6058 | Yes,was the reply, after a thoughtful pause;"but would not that necessitate a National supervision of State schools?" |
6058 | Yes? |
6058 | You accept the proposal then? |
6058 | You are not likely to lose by it then, in any event? |
6058 | You are quite right, Berry,said Hesden;"but what do_ you_ say is the reason you have come away from the South?" |
6058 | You do n''t mean it, Charles? |
6058 | You do n''t say so? 6058 You do n''t say? |
6058 | You do n''t think they would hurt you-- a woman? |
6058 | You do n''t think, now, that it''s any harm to talk that way before niggers and set them against the white people either, I suppose? |
6058 | You do not think a Richards could have been so dishonorable as to rob his cousin''s orphans? |
6058 | You have adopted, then, the Fourth of July remedy for all national ills? |
6058 | You knows what sort uv a wuk- hand I is in de crap, Bre''er Nimbus? |
6058 | You mean the Peabody Fund? |
6058 | You say you have no complaint to make about that affair? |
6058 | You see dat_ dis_charge? |
6058 | You see dem clo''es? 6058 You think I have said enough?" |
6058 | You think he never wrote? |
6058 | You will have him now, and will prize him for my sake, will you not, Sis? |
6058 | You will leave here, then? |
6058 | You, Nimbus? |
6058 | You? |
6058 | You? |
6058 | Your trustee in what? |
6058 | _ Do n''t_ yer see, Miss Mollie,said the woman impatiently,"dat dey could n''t hab got''em bofe togedder,''cept Berry had found Nimbus fust?" |
6058 | _ Registered_, you mean, I suppose? |
6058 | _ Send_ it to you? |
6058 | _ Wal!_ Do n''t yer see dar would hev been a-- a--_terrible_ fight afore dem two niggas would hev gin up Bre''er''Liab, let alone derselves? 6058 ''Ai n''t dis yer my crap, Marse Hooper? 6058 ''An''when I tole him he sez,''You know who dat is? 6058 ''Bout dat fight? |
6058 | ''D''ye heah dat shot,''Gena? |
6058 | ''Sides dat, dey''s got de bosses an''de guns, an''de''sperience; an''what we got? |
6058 | ''Spose all de white men in Ho''sford is agin us, what''s we gwine ter do? |
6058 | --jes so;''do n''t yer know hit''s in de papers dat ef yer do n''t''bey me an''wuk obedient ter my wishes, yer do n''t git nary cent, nohow at all?'' |
6058 | After a moment he half raised it and said, weakly,"Will you please call Nimbus, Miss Mollie? |
6058 | After a moment''s pause he continued,"Are you willing that I should give Miss Ainslie any statement I may choose of this matter?" |
6058 | After many attempts he wrote as follows:"Miss MOLLIE AINSLIE:"Will you permit me to come and see you, upon the conditions imposed when I saw you last? |
6058 | Ai n''t I ez free ez he is?" |
6058 | Ai n''t I well''nough off whar I is?" |
6058 | Ai n''t what yer''s been a- tellin''on him brekfas''an''dinner an''supper ter him? |
6058 | An''ef we does, ai n''t it jest a shiftin''ub han''s? |
6058 | An''how''s he lef ole Missus an''de gals, I wonder?" |
6058 | An''whar''s Nimbus an''de chillen?" |
6058 | An''who yer tink tuk keer ob me den, Marse Hesden?" |
6058 | An''you de minister? |
6058 | And how did the white brothers and sisters of these messengers of a matchless benevolence receive them? |
6058 | And the crops?" |
6058 | And then-- what came afterward?" |
6058 | And what has he gained? |
6058 | Are we afraid that he will grow wiser than we? |
6058 | Are we afraid to give him a chance to do so? |
6058 | Are you not making that inquiry too soon?" |
6058 | As she did so a cry burst from her lips, and she said,"Oh, Hesden, Hesden, where did you get it? |
6058 | As they walked along the sheriff said,"Did you notice the horse that Yankee schoolmarm rode?" |
6058 | Besides, why should I be juster than the law? |
6058 | Boasting that we could outrun our adversary, would we hamstring him at the starting- post? |
6058 | But could it be possible that a people, a race priding itself upon its superiority, should be unwilling or afraid to see the experiment fairly tried? |
6058 | But whar''s ye gwine ter put''Liab, Marse Hesden?" |
6058 | But what has that to do with the matter? |
6058 | But what is your proposal?" |
6058 | But when the freedman refuses to acknowledge the master''s name as his, who can impose it on him? |
6058 | But where_ shall_ we put him? |
6058 | But why do you give him that name?" |
6058 | By the way, Captain, is it a boy or girl, and is it old or young?" |
6058 | Ca n''t you read it? |
6058 | Calling her serving woman, she asked impetuously:"Maggie, is your Master Hesden about the house?" |
6058 | Can the South and the North ever be made one people in thought, spirit, and purpose? |
6058 | Can you get him something to eat without making any stir?" |
6058 | Can you stand it a few nights more?" |
6058 | Could not intelligence cope with ignorance without fraud? |
6058 | D''ye hear? |
6058 | D''yer h''yer dat,''Liab?" |
6058 | D''yer heah?'' |
6058 | D''yer know,''Gena, wuz enny on''em killed?" |
6058 | D''yer see dat man dar, a- bleedin''an''a- groanin''? |
6058 | D''yer see_ now_, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | Dar''s nobody''s got enny right ter gib me one, an''ef I choose one dis week what''s ter hender my takin''ob anudder nex week?" |
6058 | Dat what yer ax? |
6058 | Den he say,"''Who you b''long to, ennyhow, boy?'' |
6058 | Dey must hev a name, an''I mus''hev one ter gib''em, but how''s I gwine ter git one? |
6058 | Did n''t I make it, jest a- payin''ter you one third on''t for de rent?'' |
6058 | Did n''t I tell yer dar wuz a good time comin''?" |
6058 | Did n''t it ripen mighty uneven, Nimbus?" |
6058 | Did n''t know it, did you? |
6058 | Did n''t my words''spress demselves cl''ar? |
6058 | Did they''buse you,''Gena?" |
6058 | Did you ever hear anything agin''me outside of my politics?" |
6058 | Did you ever hear of such a person as Edna Richards?" |
6058 | Did you suppose we was going to sit still and let them burn and ravage without opposition? |
6058 | Do n''t yer see he''s a talkin''to yer?" |
6058 | Do n''t you think so, Hesden?" |
6058 | Do n''t you think so, Maggie?" |
6058 | Do tell us all about her?" |
6058 | Do yer mean ter say dat Marse Sykes turn you uns offen his plantation while you''se all away, jes kase yer come ter de meetin''yesterday?" |
6058 | Do you hear it, Hesden? |
6058 | Do you hear that, Hesden? |
6058 | Do you think you could ride him?" |
6058 | Do you understand me now?" |
6058 | Do you understand?" |
6058 | Does it make ary difference-- at least enough ter speak on-- whether a white man hez his wuk done by one nigger er another?" |
6058 | Does you read all de papers yer signs, Squar''Nimbus? |
6058 | Dunno? |
6058 | Ef we leave one man, how''s we gwine ter git wuk wid anodder? |
6058 | Got a half- dollar?" |
6058 | HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE? |
6058 | HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE? |
6058 | HOW? |
6058 | Had n''t we better just set the cabin afire and let it burn?" |
6058 | Had she not lived in the old"Or''nary,"taught in their school, advised, encouraged, and helped them? |
6058 | Hain''t I been a- sojerin''nigh onter two year now? |
6058 | Hain''t I he d pay an''bounty, an''rations too? |
6058 | Hain''t I jes''de same right ter talk ez you er Marse Sykes, an''would n''t you call me a damn rascal ef I''d done ez he did? |
6058 | Has he sued me?" |
6058 | Hath the bird spoken? |
6058 | Have you any baggage?" |
6058 | Have you any solution to offer?" |
6058 | Have you lost all spirit since you became a Radical?" |
6058 | He came with his hat in his hand, saying respectfully,"How d''ye, Marse Desmit?" |
6058 | He dragged Nimbus through the crowd to intercept his wife, crying out as soon as they came near:"H''yer, you Sally Ann, what yer tinks now? |
6058 | He had not quite looked for her to be so calm, and he was almost annoyed by it; so dropping her hand, he said, weakly,"Shall I never see you again?" |
6058 | He had set before him this problem:"New England Puritanism and Southern Prejudice; how shall they be reconciled?" |
6058 | He says you and''Liab enticed away his servant-- what''s his name? |
6058 | He was answered after a moment''s delay by a colored woman, who came out from the kitchen and exclaimed,"Who''s dah?" |
6058 | He would come and ask, and she-- would give? |
6058 | Hers? |
6058 | Hesden refuses to be my heir, and you refuse to be my devisee; must I give it to the poor?" |
6058 | Hesden''s? |
6058 | Hesden, are you mad? |
6058 | Hev you ebber ben ter de school, Mr. Sheriff? |
6058 | How I gwine ter know what''s in dat paper, hey? |
6058 | How are you, and how have you left all at home?" |
6058 | How can such a girl think of associating with niggers and teaching a nigger school? |
6058 | How can you know the meanings of words, and yet not apprehend the thought conveyed?" |
6058 | How could he ask her to come where sneers and insults awaited her? |
6058 | How could he endure insults upon his love? |
6058 | How could he? |
6058 | How could she face sneers? |
6058 | How d''ye do, Mahs''r?" |
6058 | How did your first barn cure up, Nimbus?" |
6058 | How funny that you should strike upon the very name?" |
6058 | How should I be? |
6058 | How would it do for a polling- place?" |
6058 | How''s dat fer cousinin'', eh? |
6058 | How''s that, Nimbus?" |
6058 | How''s we gwine ter s''port dem widout home or wuk?" |
6058 | How, pray, was it done at the North? |
6058 | How? |
6058 | I hope the stock and hands are in good condition?" |
6058 | I say, old fellow, when did you leave the ark?" |
6058 | I thought I''d ax, if ye should git in a notion of selling, what yer''d take fer yer place here?" |
6058 | I wonder if they did n''t bring over niggers too?" |
6058 | I wonder why it is that cripples are always so queer, anyhow?" |
6058 | Is it a Kurnel ye is, an''do n''t know that? |
6058 | Is it a signature? |
6058 | Is that enough, sir? |
6058 | Is this woman able to give away such a fortune?" |
6058 | It is evident that they have not been in the past; can they become so in the future? |
6058 | It would perhaps be well for countries which are to- day wrestling with the question:"What shall we do with our poor?" |
6058 | It''ll do you a power of good-- you an''yours-- but what good wud it do if a poor crippled feller like me he d it? |
6058 | It''s very partickler the General is about insthructin''us ter ax the names of thim that''s wantin''an''inthroduction to him, ye know?" |
6058 | Jes let''em know I''m on der way, will yer? |
6058 | Jest ez I''d got de basket nigh''bout full, who should start up dar, outen de bushes, on''y jes Marse Hooper; an''he sez, mighty brisk- like,''So? |
6058 | Just as they stepped upon the bridge Desmit heard a lank Hoosier ask,"What is in them bar''ls?" |
6058 | Just to shield my father''s name?" |
6058 | Le Moyne to her son, as he sat by her bedside while she read this letter,"will you not write to Miss Ainslie?" |
6058 | Le Moyne''s health such as to permit her considering this matter now?" |
6058 | Le Moyne, to make such a measure of present interest in the cure of present evils?" |
6058 | Le Moyne,"said the former, after a long and thoughtful pause,"is there any remedy for these things? |
6058 | Le Moyne,"were you in earnest in what you said yesterday in regard to receiving any benefits under this deed?" |
6058 | Le Moyne?" |
6058 | Le Moyne?" |
6058 | Listen at him now?" |
6058 | Married or single?" |
6058 | May I ask to whom it belongs?" |
6058 | May I hope that he will be known henceforth only as Midnight? |
6058 | No? |
6058 | None?" |
6058 | Nothing very bad, I hope?" |
6058 | Now what I want ter change it fer, er what I want ob enny mo''? |
6058 | Now what''s yer gwine ter do''bout it? |
6058 | Now you heah dat, do n''t yer?" |
6058 | Now, Miss Mollie, what yer s''pose hez come ob dat ar mule an''carryall? |
6058 | Now, do n''t yer know dat ef he was dead dey would n''t be a suin''on him an''a swearin''he''d run away?" |
6058 | Now, how''s we gwine ter lib during dat time? |
6058 | Now, what''s we gwine ter do? |
6058 | Now, what_ you_ think, Berry?" |
6058 | One is inclined to ask, with a laugh,"Well, what of it?" |
6058 | Opening the door he called out:"Who''s dar?" |
6058 | Or is it your new- found cousin you feel so bad for? |
6058 | Our grandfather, James Richards, came here from Pennsylvania, did he not?" |
6058 | Please come out h''yer a minnit, wo n''t yer?" |
6058 | Quick ez he look at it he say,''Whar you git dat, boy? |
6058 | S''pose I take ole Marse War''s name ober dar?" |
6058 | Sally, you jest interduce Cousin Nimbus ter de rest ob dis family, will yer?" |
6058 | Say, how d''y''e like de soun''? |
6058 | She looked at him and said,"You were very fond of your horse?" |
6058 | She sez ter me, sez she,''Maggie, ebber you see anybody look so much like de Mistis made young again?''" |
6058 | So she smiled artlessly, and said:"Only two days? |
6058 | So what I lock de do''fer? |
6058 | Stealin''corn, is yer?'' |
6058 | Still another said:"Will our people suffer a covert danger to rankle in their midst until it gains strength to burst into an open enemy? |
6058 | Suppose I call you George Nimbus?" |
6058 | The man was gathering up his reins when Nimbus said:"When did yer say ole Mahsr''s funeral was gwine ter be?" |
6058 | The new song her lips had been taught to sing had made thin and weak every melody of the past, Shall care cumber the heart of the bride? |
6058 | The sheriff nodded awkwardly to the ladies, as if doubtful how much deference it would do to display, said,"How d''ye,''Liab?" |
6058 | The slip of paper which she held contained only the following apparently unintelligible scrawl:"And you never saw it but once?" |
6058 | Then to the occupant of the carriage:"What did yer honor say might be yer name, now? |
6058 | Then was Pharaoh greatly astonished, and he said, How is this? |
6058 | Then, after a pause,"Do you know how I got him?" |
6058 | Then, glancing quickly around, he said in a low, earnest voice:"Hez ye heerd from Red Wing lately, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | Thought you could go and take a man''s"hands"right out from under his nose, and not get into trouble about it, did n''t ye?" |
6058 | Uncle Nimbus,"said Berry, very thoughtfully,"dat dis yer ting_ freedom_ waz a durn curus affair fer we cullud people, ennyhow?" |
6058 | WHAT SHALL THE END BE? |
6058 | WHAT SHALL THE END BE? |
6058 | Wal, whar yer''spose dat''backer gone ter, hey?" |
6058 | Ware''s?" |
6058 | Ware?" |
6058 | Ware?" |
6058 | Warn''t you better off as a slave than I am free?" |
6058 | Was any one else hurt?" |
6058 | Was she not_ their_ Miss Mollie? |
6058 | We ai n''t proud, not a bit proud, Bre''er Nimbus, an''yer ai n''t a gwine ter forgit us, is yer? |
6058 | We''s got ter lib an''so''s our wives an''chillens? |
6058 | Well, Desmit is your surname, then, ai n''t it?" |
6058 | Well, now, mister, do n''t you know that the General is too nervous to see company to- day? |
6058 | Whar''is Sally?" |
6058 | Whar''s we gwine ter lib? |
6058 | What YOU gwine ter do''bout dis yer matter, Uncle''Liab?" |
6058 | What am I to my race? |
6058 | What are you going to do, Brother Berry? |
6058 | What are you here for, anyhow? |
6058 | What can that have to do with this horrid matter?" |
6058 | What can you do?--what can you do?" |
6058 | What did the bird say unto thee? |
6058 | What does dis mean? |
6058 | What does it all mean anyhow? |
6058 | What does it mean, Miss Mollie?" |
6058 | What good did fightin''er prayin''either used ter do in ole slave times? |
6058 | What is his history?" |
6058 | What is this thing anyhow?" |
6058 | What makes you think there is anything to be known about it?" |
6058 | What reason was there for complaint or apprehension, on his part? |
6058 | What right I got ter his name? |
6058 | What was your old master''s name?" |
6058 | What will I do, Miss Mollie, what will I do? |
6058 | What wonder that it was ravished from their care? |
6058 | What would not the newspapers give to know that of you, Hesden?" |
6058 | What yer gwine ter do''bout it, Nimbus?" |
6058 | What yer s''pose dem fer,''Liab? |
6058 | What yer say now, you Sally Ann, ai n''t yer''shamed fer what yer sed''bout Bre''er Nimbus only dis yere mornin''?" |
6058 | What yer tinks ob dat now?" |
6058 | What yer''spect it mout be, cousin?" |
6058 | What you say to him, you little fool?'' |
6058 | What you say, now?" |
6058 | What you tinks on''t,''Liab?" |
6058 | What''ll I do? |
6058 | What''ll I do?" |
6058 | What''s de use? |
6058 | What''s he ebber done, I''d like ter know, ter be debbled roun''dis yer way? |
6058 | When he had finished, she said,"And you say the land mentioned there is the plantation you now occupy?" |
6058 | Where are you from?" |
6058 | Where do you think?" |
6058 | Where is''Liab? |
6058 | Where_ did_ you get it? |
6058 | Who or what could interfere with my right?" |
6058 | Who''s Berry ebber hurt? |
6058 | Who''se a better right, I''d like ter know? |
6058 | Whose is it?" |
6058 | Whose yer spose''tis?" |
6058 | Why I nebber tink ob dat afo''? |
6058 | Why de debble I nebber tink ob dat afo''? |
6058 | Why did n''t yer say nuffin''''bout bein''registered yo''self, eh? |
6058 | Why did n''t you go out of the room when I begged you to? |
6058 | Why do n''t you go back to the Yankees that you ran away to? |
6058 | Why do you ask all these questions? |
6058 | Why not?" |
6058 | Why should she give up all this for our sakes?" |
6058 | Why, Hesden, what_ do_ you mean? |
6058 | Why, does the girl propose to give away all this magnificent property for nothing?" |
6058 | Why? |
6058 | Why?" |
6058 | Will they stand idly and supinely, and witness the consummation of such an infamous conspiracy? |
6058 | Will they tamely submit while Hesden Le Moyne rallies the colored men to his standard and hands over Horsford to the enemy? |
6058 | Will yer go, sinner- mans? |
6058 | Will yer go? |
6058 | Will you allow me to do so?" |
6058 | Will you be my wife?" |
6058 | Will you hear me?" |
6058 | Work? |
6058 | Would n''t you have done that to a nigger that called you a''grand rascal''to your face?" |
6058 | Would one of you be kind enough to go for a doctor?" |
6058 | Would ye like an inthroduction, Kurnel?" |
6058 | Yer do n''t know Nimbus''s gwine away, does yer? |
6058 | Yer do n''t mean dat, pop- suah, does yer now?" |
6058 | Yer do n''t s''pose Nimbus am a- gwine ter turn thief at dis day, does yer?" |
6058 | Yer do n''t tell me? |
6058 | Yer hain''t done forgot Berry, I s''pose? |
6058 | Yer heah dat man? |
6058 | Yer see dem big pines dar, straight ez a arrer an''nigh''bout de same size from top ter bottom? |
6058 | Yer see dem sinners, eh?" |
6058 | Yer sees dat mule out dar?" |
6058 | Yer t''ought yer was damn smart, did n''t yer, not takin''enny store orders, an''a- tryin''to fo''ce me ter pay yer cash in de lump? |
6058 | Yer would n''t go back on yer relations, would yer, Nimbus? |
6058 | You are not discouraged?" |
6058 | You are not in debt?" |
6058 | You are sure he had never married before?" |
6058 | You damned black rascal, do you stand there and tell me I owe her anything?" |
6058 | You do n''t think he has the fever, do you?" |
6058 | You do n''t want dem to be different from others and have no surname?" |
6058 | You hear dat, Nimbus?" |
6058 | You hear dat,''Liab? |
6058 | You rascal, do you threaten me with the''Bureau''?" |
6058 | You told her, I suppose?" |
6058 | You were n''t hurt, were you?" |
6058 | _ Nimbus Ware?_ Where did you get dat name?" |
6058 | _ Nimbus Ware?_ Where did you get dat name?" |
6058 | asked the sheriff, casting his eye over the field;"forty thousand?" |
6058 | asked,"Want ary boy, Mahs''r?" |
6058 | cried Nimbus, his distress overcoming his fear,"is you hurt bad? |
6058 | cried a voice from the midst of a group of those first arriving,"how yer do dis mornin''? |
6058 | ha: what else?" |
6058 | he asked of Berry,"Baggage? |
6058 | he cried,"do you expect me to flinch at the thought of danger? |
6058 | he cried,"is it-- can it be our Miss Mollie, or has Nimbus gone clean crazy wid de rest ob his misfortins?" |
6058 | he made his Radicalism pay, did n''t he? |
6058 | little-- what''s yer name? |
6058 | said Berry,"what Berry want ob any brekfas''? |
6058 | said Goodspeed, with some eagerness,"and what may that be?" |
6058 | she exclaimed,"not the little nigger teacher at Red Wing?" |
6058 | sinner- mans, will yer go?" |
6058 | what yer gwine ter name him, Mahs''r? |
6058 | what''ll he ebber do widout Nimbus ter keer fer him?" |
6058 | what''s dat?" |
6058 | what''s de use ob bein''a fool? |
6058 | will yer go? |
6058 | wo n''t dat er be fun, jes makin''ole Mahs''r trot up ter de lick- log fer meanness ter a nigger? |
6058 | you remember that, then?" |
36666 | A few days ago? |
36666 | A whole year? |
36666 | About us----"How? |
36666 | About what? |
36666 | Afraid of you? |
36666 | Ah, please? |
36666 | All right-- now what do you think of that little scrimmage at the mouth of the harbor of Santiago yesterday? 36666 All right; when they have bought those farms and their sons and daughters are rich and cultured-- what then?" |
36666 | Am I not worth waiting for? |
36666 | An''I des has er little indiscretion----"Oh, you make me tired, how can I help a coward? |
36666 | An''please, sah, wo n''t yer gimme jes a little advice befo''you go? |
36666 | An''what''d you do, m''am? |
36666 | And Cleo? |
36666 | And I asked you if everything was all right at home? |
36666 | And I feel the same-- isn''t it funny? |
36666 | And his voice? |
36666 | And how''s aunt Minerva? |
36666 | And if I convince you,he went on tenderly,"you will submit yourself to my advice and leave America?" |
36666 | And if a curse is branded on my forehead you''ll take its shame as yours? |
36666 | And if you had been, sir? |
36666 | And in your absence? |
36666 | And it will not heal again? |
36666 | And may I ask how? |
36666 | And may I ask what you mean by that? |
36666 | And my father? |
36666 | And she''s''atter''you? |
36666 | And the possibility of my meeting this girl never occurred to you? 36666 And these millions of children born in the shadows-- these mulattoes?" |
36666 | And they are going straight to the Governor''s mansion? |
36666 | And they walked right up? |
36666 | And told you why? |
36666 | And what did he say to the Committee? |
36666 | And what did you expect? |
36666 | And what happened? |
36666 | And which horn of the dilemma do you take? |
36666 | And whom would I imperil? |
36666 | And why have you not told me before? |
36666 | And why not? |
36666 | And yet if you are human how could you dare defy the laws of man and God to bring about this marriage? |
36666 | And you contemplate entering politics? |
36666 | And you did n''t kill him? |
36666 | And you find instead? |
36666 | And you have n''t guessed? |
36666 | And you like her personally? |
36666 | And you propose to prevent that contact? |
36666 | And you think that I will allow you to remain in my house after what has passed between us? |
36666 | And you will dare such a program? |
36666 | And you''re not afraid of me? |
36666 | And you? |
36666 | Are Tom and Miss Helen lovers? |
36666 | Are you one of Norton''s men? |
36666 | Beat her? |
36666 | Because I do n''t like her, and her presence here may be very dangerous just now----"Dangerous-- what on earth can you mean? |
36666 | But I did n''t say to throw them on the horse''s head, did I? |
36666 | But I see you''ve come-- Cleo told you? |
36666 | But if I came in vain, why at all? |
36666 | But if I ever find her,he went on dreamily,"do you know what I''ll want?" |
36666 | But suppose I convince you? |
36666 | But suppose,he said quietly,"you should hate this man when you had met?" |
36666 | But what the devil is the meaning of this silence, Schlitz? |
36666 | But why continue to rouse the bitterness of racial feeling? 36666 But you did n''t?" |
36666 | But, say, look here, brethren,Peeler pleaded between shattering teeth,"ca n''t we compromise this thing? |
36666 | Ca n''t I hear what you have to say? |
36666 | Ca n''t ye gimme a drink of somethin''? 36666 Can you trust her?" |
36666 | Claim? 36666 Come now, gemmens,"he went on;"what''s de lowes''offer ye gwine ter start me fer dese folks? |
36666 | Congress, under the iron rule of Stevens, will send them, I grant you----"Then why hesitate? |
36666 | Dare? |
36666 | De Lawdy, major, you ai n''t gwine off an''leave dese mint juleps lak dat, is ye? |
36666 | Defend me with your life if the major attacks me to- night? |
36666 | Demand? |
36666 | Did Cleo find it out? |
36666 | Did I? |
36666 | Did my true love call? |
36666 | Did she tell you that? |
36666 | Did you guess that lie? |
36666 | Did you miss me? |
36666 | Did you speak to me? |
36666 | Did you-- did you know any of my people, sir? |
36666 | Dis yo''will, sah? 36666 Do n''t yer think my hair''s gittin''straighter, sah?" |
36666 | Do n''t you think I do pretty well? |
36666 | Do you know de way, sah? |
36666 | Do you know that you''re the first boy I ever talked to in my life? |
36666 | Do you know what''s in this note, Cleo? |
36666 | Does any one else share it? |
36666 | Does any one in this house suspect it? |
36666 | Does it pain you? |
36666 | Duty? |
36666 | Even so, in a Democracy with equality as the one fundamental law of life, what are you going to do with them? 36666 Everything all right at home, Andy?" |
36666 | Has Tom been back here during the past weeks to see Miss Helen? |
36666 | Have I given you any such evidence during the past twenty years? |
36666 | Have I? |
36666 | Have n''t you a wife living, Andy? |
36666 | Have n''t you been afraid of Cleo? |
36666 | Have n''t you lied to me? |
36666 | Have you a pin? |
36666 | Have you got enough? |
36666 | He asked me if Mr. Tom been back here in de past fo''weeks----"Asked if Tom had been back here? |
36666 | He gave you no facts-- only these vague warnings? |
36666 | He has always known the truth and now that I am of age he has told me----"Told you what? |
36666 | He voted for you? |
36666 | Hey? |
36666 | His platform? |
36666 | How can it be wrong, this solemn pledge of life and love, of body and soul? |
36666 | How dare you insult me? |
36666 | How did he open it? |
36666 | How late? |
36666 | How long since those men left the jail? |
36666 | How many hours have they usually spent together? |
36666 | How much have you used? |
36666 | How on earth can you work in such a mess? |
36666 | How you could willfully and deliberately do this beastly thing? |
36666 | How? |
36666 | How? |
36666 | How? |
36666 | I merely asked, have you a pin? |
36666 | I propose to raise immediately an army of fifty thousand loyal white men, arm and drill them without delay----"Where''ll you get them? |
36666 | I say, may I come in? |
36666 | I thought you were coming for that? |
36666 | I thought you''d been telling me? |
36666 | I trust you will not find yourself unhappy or embarrassed in remaining here alone until we return? |
36666 | I want to know why you began this campaign at all? |
36666 | I wonder why you wo n''t let me work here? |
36666 | I wonder why? |
36666 | I''m going back-- but I''ll give her up and let you educate her in a convent on one condition----"What? |
36666 | I''m going to do my level best to prove myself worthy of the big faith you''ve shown in me-- but why have you done it? 36666 I''m not going back home----""Why not?" |
36666 | I''m wondering----"What? |
36666 | If you''se''lected? |
36666 | Important business here? |
36666 | In case anything happens to me before it ends----Tom bent close:"What do you mean?" |
36666 | In what respect? |
36666 | In what? |
36666 | In which category you place the author of a certain book, I suppose? |
36666 | Insult you, is I? |
36666 | Into the Capitol Square? |
36666 | Is her home life clean? |
36666 | Is it possible? |
36666 | Is my work nothing to you? |
36666 | Is she still hysterical? |
36666 | Is that all? |
36666 | It must have been deep-- what duty? |
36666 | It was quite dark----"What time?--eight, nine, ten or eleven o''clock? |
36666 | It''s a waste of breath for you to talk to me about this thing--he turned on her fiercely:"Why do you wish to go back there? |
36666 | It''s all right? 36666 It''s not bad news, I hope?" |
36666 | It''s nothing to you? |
36666 | Lord, I thought it was mush and milk-- I thought it was your supper!--don''t you eat no supper? |
36666 | Major Norton, I believe? |
36666 | Married? 36666 Mean it? |
36666 | Miss Jean called me? |
36666 | Mr. Tom want me ter tell de major ter- night? 36666 Must it be so dirty?" |
36666 | My faith in him is too big----"You can conceive of no such barrier? |
36666 | My father-- my mother-- they are living? |
36666 | My father? |
36666 | My hundred picked men are waiting? |
36666 | My-- real-- relations? |
36666 | Nasah!--But ai n''t dey no way dat I kin help ye, major? 36666 No, I just came to thank you for what you did and see if you would n''t let me work for you?" |
36666 | No-- really? |
36666 | No-- what? |
36666 | No? |
36666 | No? |
36666 | No? |
36666 | Nothing more? |
36666 | Nothing of the sort-- isn''t this Buffalo creek? |
36666 | Now I want to know what you''re up to? 36666 Now tell me, darling, how can I help you?" |
36666 | Now, what I want to know is,the boy began,"what the devil you mean by pulling me out of bed this time of day?" |
36666 | Now, what do you think of that? |
36666 | Oh, God, will they never stop? |
36666 | Oh, is that all? |
36666 | Please let me clean this place up for you? |
36666 | Really? |
36666 | Say, man, is dat a hat er a bee- gum? |
36666 | Scared-- who me? 36666 Shall I introduce you?" |
36666 | She got an invitation? |
36666 | Signed with your name? |
36666 | So I am your servant? 36666 So Tom''s crazy about her?" |
36666 | Sorry-- for what? |
36666 | Suppose my father were a criminal? |
36666 | Suppose,he said in a queer tone,"I tell you that the barrier between you is so real, so loathsome----""Loathsome?" |
36666 | Tell me what it is? |
36666 | The Klan_ is_ a band of lawless night raiders, is n''t it? |
36666 | The big, wonderful love that comes to the human soul but once? |
36666 | The other is the big physical enigma----"You mean? |
36666 | The right to love----Norton broke into a bitter, angry laugh:"Are you demanding that I marry you?" |
36666 | Then there may be a slender chance? |
36666 | Then what could have been her motive? |
36666 | Then what is it? |
36666 | There are just two dangers----"What? |
36666 | They did n''t even have to pack that nasty old gauze in it again-- were you very much scared waiting out there, Dan? |
36666 | They returned late occasionally? |
36666 | This is Major Norton? |
36666 | To kill the Governor? |
36666 | To- morrow morning, then? 36666 To_ allow_?" |
36666 | Told her what? |
36666 | Tom not come? |
36666 | Too bad-- shall I get it for you? |
36666 | Vaguely,Tom answered, and turning squarely on his father asked:"Would you mind telling me the whole truth about it?" |
36666 | Was I staring? |
36666 | We leave to- night on the midnight express----"You can do nothing more? |
36666 | Well, I''m not-- so what''s the use? 36666 Well, doctor?" |
36666 | Well, for heaven''s sake, why did n''t you let us know? |
36666 | Well, is n''t it? |
36666 | Well, what have you to do with that? |
36666 | Well, what the devil do you want? |
36666 | Well, why do you stare at me like that? |
36666 | Well? |
36666 | Well? |
36666 | Well? |
36666 | Were they alone? |
36666 | What are you afraid of? |
36666 | What are you standing there for? |
36666 | What are you up to? |
36666 | What can I do? 36666 What de matter wid me inside?" |
36666 | What did he do? |
36666 | What do you mean by that? |
36666 | What do you mean? |
36666 | What do you mean? |
36666 | What do you want? |
36666 | What does it mean? |
36666 | What else do you expect? |
36666 | What for? |
36666 | What has happened, major? |
36666 | What have you got your hat for? |
36666 | What in the world''s that? |
36666 | What is it? |
36666 | What is it? |
36666 | What is life worth since I know this leper''s shame? 36666 What is the meaning of this long absence you have planned?" |
36666 | What makes your nose so flat, anyhow? |
36666 | What on earth can that old scoundrel want with me? 36666 What on earth can they be talking about all this time?" |
36666 | What on earth is it all about, I wonder? |
36666 | What shall I do? |
36666 | What sort of man do you think I am? 36666 What the devil''s the matter with me anyhow?" |
36666 | What would I do? |
36666 | What''s dangerous about the girl, I''d like to know? |
36666 | What''s he doin''dar at dat desk? |
36666 | What''s higher? 36666 What''s that roaring?" |
36666 | What''s that you''ve written? |
36666 | What''s the joke? |
36666 | What''s the matter with Andy? |
36666 | What''s the matter with Tom? |
36666 | What''s the matter with you anyhow, you old fool, are you having fits? |
36666 | What''s the matter? |
36666 | What''s the matter? |
36666 | What''s the meaning of this, sir? |
36666 | What''s your mother''s name? |
36666 | What''s-- what''s that? |
36666 | What, dear? |
36666 | What-- what are your real relations? |
36666 | What-- what''s happened? |
36666 | What-- what-- does this mean? |
36666 | When do you think the major will come? |
36666 | Where is she? |
36666 | Where''ve you been? |
36666 | Whiskey? |
36666 | Who bin tryin''ter steal you? |
36666 | Who dared to write such a letter without your knowledge? |
36666 | Who is it? |
36666 | Who knows? 36666 Who knows?" |
36666 | Who taught you? |
36666 | Who was the child''s mother? |
36666 | Who''s in command of this crowd? |
36666 | Who-- me? |
36666 | Who? 36666 Why did you let them send me to school? |
36666 | Why do n''t you? |
36666 | Why do you ask? |
36666 | Why do you hate me? |
36666 | Why do you keep staring at me? |
36666 | Why do you look so queerly at me? 36666 Why do you use that queer tone? |
36666 | Why do you want to do this thing? |
36666 | Why do you want to win? |
36666 | Why do''oo cry? |
36666 | Why have you avoided me to- night? |
36666 | Why have you dared? |
36666 | Why must you die, my boy? |
36666 | Why not take the boy and go? |
36666 | Why not? |
36666 | Why not? |
36666 | Why should he deceive me? |
36666 | Why, sir? |
36666 | Why, what''s the matter with him? |
36666 | Why-- what-- do you-- mean? |
36666 | Why-- why did you bring that girl into this house? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Will you go peaceable? |
36666 | With a kind face? |
36666 | With a veil-- at night-- what have you got that veil for? |
36666 | Wo n''t he miss you? |
36666 | Wo n''t ye hear me, sah? 36666 Work? |
36666 | Would you mind leaving this little gift with me, Peeler? |
36666 | Yassah, I fotch him through the country and we rid all night----"What''s the matter?'' 36666 Yassah, Miss Helen, sah, is her name-- she cum''bout er week atter you lef----""And she''s been there ever since?" |
36666 | Yassam-- yassam-- but ai n''t yer got nuttin''mo''dan dat ter say ter me? |
36666 | Ye hear dat, you fool nigger? 36666 Yes or no?" |
36666 | Yes, Dan,she answered simply,"why do you ask?" |
36666 | Yes, all men who are worth while----"How can you say that,the daughter cried with scorn,"and remember my father and grandfather? |
36666 | Yes, is n''t it? |
36666 | Yes----"Stunned? 36666 Yes?" |
36666 | Yes? |
36666 | Yes? |
36666 | Yet there''s something pitiful about it after all, is n''t there, Tom? |
36666 | You agree, major? |
36666 | You ai n''t gwine ter be hard on''em, major? |
36666 | You ain''hear what he bin er doin''wid dat pistol? |
36666 | You allowed no one to learn the real reason of your visit, as I told you? |
36666 | You are not deceiving me? |
36666 | You are not mad at me for anything? |
36666 | You are still afraid of me? |
36666 | You are trying to leave me without a word? |
36666 | You are_ stunned_? |
36666 | You ca n''t mean this? |
36666 | You did n''t hear that bell? |
36666 | You did n''t invite her? |
36666 | You do n''t hate me? |
36666 | You do n''t mean it-- now? |
36666 | You do n''t mean it? |
36666 | You do n''t mean it? |
36666 | You do n''t want me to go back home with the child, do you? |
36666 | You do n''t want to see her? |
36666 | You do n''t_ know_? |
36666 | You have something to say-- what is it? |
36666 | You impudent scoundrel, how dare you speak to me like this? |
36666 | You know who wrote it? |
36666 | You know-- all? |
36666 | You know? |
36666 | You left the hall to see her there? |
36666 | You like this girl, my dear? |
36666 | You lived on his place? |
36666 | You love Tom-- he''s worth saving-- you''ll do as I ask and give him up? |
36666 | You mean that he knows the truth? 36666 You never can tell what may happen in such a revolution----""It will be a revolution?" |
36666 | You realize the fact that a man who marries a nameless girl bars himself from all careers of honor? |
36666 | You really love me so? |
36666 | You refuse to obey my orders? |
36666 | You refuse? |
36666 | You see, I''ve played this scene so many times in my day dreams----"And it''s like your dream? |
36666 | You sent for me, major? |
36666 | You think I can make good? |
36666 | You think not? |
36666 | You think so? |
36666 | You think so? |
36666 | You think that''s all? |
36666 | You thought the major had you? |
36666 | You took pains to leave them alone, I suppose? |
36666 | You want me to interview you, Governor? |
36666 | You were going to leave me and go alone to the speaker''s stand? |
36666 | You will answer them now? |
36666 | You will deprive me of my citizenship? |
36666 | You wish me to swear it? |
36666 | You wo n''t lock the door again? |
36666 | You wo n''t? 36666 You''d be happier, you think, with me, dear?" |
36666 | You''ll do anything for me? |
36666 | You''ll pay no attention to my wishes? |
36666 | You''re not mad at me for being there, are you? 36666 You''re not saying this to cheer me? |
36666 | You''re sure Cleo did n''t find out? |
36666 | You-- you-- don''t love another? |
36666 | Your love is pure and unsullied? |
36666 | Your relations to my servants? |
36666 | Your_ rights_? |
36666 | --Norton bent close with pleading eagerness:"And that next sentence, there, you can read it? |
36666 | --he drew the arm around that she was holding back--"What is it? |
36666 | --he paused and looked at her curiously--"And you love him?" |
36666 | --she paused and her voice was trembling when she added--"It makes us all akin, does n''t it?" |
36666 | --you-- you-- see why I have been so desperately in earnest?" |
36666 | A door opened above and the boy answered:"Well?" |
36666 | A small man could, yes-- but you? |
36666 | A soldier is a man who obeys orders, draws his pay, and asks no questions----""And then what?" |
36666 | A tear slowly stole down Helen''s flushed cheeks as she quietly asked:"Why-- why should you insult and shame me by asking that question?" |
36666 | Accept my terms or fight?" |
36666 | After all, had it not been inevitable? |
36666 | Again Tom paused, watching keenly:"On the day you returned and found Helen here, you quarrelled with Cleo?" |
36666 | Ai n''t I done tole you dat hit would all come out right ef I could des say de good word? |
36666 | Ai n''t dat all right, sah?" |
36666 | Am I to be fired without a chance? |
36666 | An hour later he asked abruptly:"You have felt no return of the pain in your throat, dear?" |
36666 | And I''ve always known that if the pain returned she''d die----""You knew that before we left home?" |
36666 | And again came the deeper question-- can any man ever escape the consequences of his deeds? |
36666 | And how''ll a contribution of fifty dollars each strike you? |
36666 | And since when is this state under martial law?" |
36666 | And so I came to ask-- oh, why-- why''ve you been foolin''with me?" |
36666 | And the great fear that gripped your heart at the first mad cry of pain I gave? |
36666 | And who am I to set bounds to his power?" |
36666 | And you would dare give to a child such a mother? |
36666 | Andy approached gingerly, glancing from side to side for the best way of retreat in case of emergency:"What''s the matter with you?" |
36666 | Andy disregarded the shot, and prinked himself before the mirror:"Do n''t yer think my complexion''s gettin''little better, sah?" |
36666 | Andy gasped, wrenching her arms away at last,"will yer des lemme say one word?" |
36666 | Andy generously ignored her tone, bowed and handed her the magnolia:"Would you embellish yousef wid dis little posie, m''am?" |
36666 | Andy glanced at him out of the corners of his rolling eyes:"Yer ai n''t gwine laugh at me-- is yer?" |
36666 | Andy looked at him in astonishment and asked incredulously:"Who de debbil say you''se er scared of any nigger? |
36666 | Andy looked at the tray and then at Norton:"Well, sah, yer ai n''t got no objections to me pizinin''mysef, is ye?" |
36666 | Andy''s eyes were two white moons in the shadows as he cried through chattering teeth:"G-- g-- odder mighty-- what-- what''s de matter, major?" |
36666 | Anything else?" |
36666 | Are you made of stone-- have you no pity? |
36666 | As she approached the corner of the settee the boy leaped up with a laugh:"Where have you been?" |
36666 | At the mention of her name the fine old face softened and then his eyes flashed:"She is ill?" |
36666 | Aunt Minerva?" |
36666 | B- b- but fer Gawd''s sake what ye want wid er dead nigger?" |
36666 | Between set teeth Norton growled:"And you think that I''ll submit?" |
36666 | But an ex- Governor of the state ca n''t rush to meet the present Governor in his shirt- tail-- now, can he?" |
36666 | But do you think your life will be safe?" |
36666 | But had he? |
36666 | But is it necessary? |
36666 | But was it worth the risk? |
36666 | But why ask me so disgusting a question? |
36666 | But why should she be in Baltimore? |
36666 | But would she listen? |
36666 | But you shall never enter my house again----""Is it fair,"she pleaded,"to take everything from me and turn me out in the world alone? |
36666 | But, Lordy, Mister Tom, yer des foolin''wid me-- yer ai n''t got nuttin''''gin yer ole partner, barrin''dem few little things?" |
36666 | Ca n''t I go upstairs an''speak de good word ter Mister Tom now an''tell him hit''s all right?" |
36666 | Can it serve any good purpose? |
36666 | Can we afford it?" |
36666 | Can you afford an act of such wanton cruelty in the hour of your triumph? |
36666 | Cleo drew back with amazement at the prostrate figure:"What on earth''s the matter?" |
36666 | Cleo glanced at him:"You were about to tell me something that you heard in Norfolk?" |
36666 | Cleo leaned close:"You''ll die for me?" |
36666 | Cleo looked at him in amazement, suppressed an angry exclamation and asked:"What''s that band playing for?" |
36666 | Cleo moved a step closer:"The major has won?" |
36666 | Cleo moved impatiently and glared at the tray:"What on earth did you bring all that stuff for? |
36666 | Cleo paused with a frown:"What''s the matter? |
36666 | Cleo quickly entered, turned the key and in earnest tones, her eyes dancing excitedly, asked:"You are really packing your trunk?" |
36666 | Cleo spoke with stern appeal:"Well, you''re a man; you''ll know how to defend yourself next time, wo n''t you?" |
36666 | Cleo''s voice dropped suddenly to pleading tones:"You''re not going to suggest such an idea to him?" |
36666 | Could any man with red blood in his veins fight successfully a force like that? |
36666 | Could he do it? |
36666 | Could he do this? |
36666 | Could it be possible that he heard aright? |
36666 | Could she have helped it? |
36666 | Could they have dared to ride so early that they had reached the house before his arrival? |
36666 | De major try ter kill me-- he''s er regular maniacker-- gone wild----""What about?" |
36666 | Did I ever want you? |
36666 | Did a pin stick you-- or maybe a flea bit you?" |
36666 | Did not such a position of daily intimate physical contact-- morning, noon and night-- mean just this? |
36666 | Did old Andy find out I slipped in last week?" |
36666 | Did you look at her closely again?" |
36666 | Do n''t yer min''de time dat big yaller nigger cum down here from de Norf er castin''circumflexions on our church? |
36666 | Do you know what the Governor of North Carolina said once upon a time to the Governor of South Carolina?" |
36666 | Do you know what you''re doing?" |
36666 | Do you think he''s been really making love to Miss Helen?" |
36666 | Do you think it possible?" |
36666 | For the first time in his life he asked himself a startling question:"Do I really need him?" |
36666 | Forbid? |
36666 | Goodness-- haven''t you anything to put the flowers in?" |
36666 | Had he made the world sweeter and more beautiful? |
36666 | Had he the right to be angry with her? |
36666 | Have I broken the law? |
36666 | Have n''t I a heart that can ache and break and cry for joy?" |
36666 | Have n''t I taken my stand squarely on Nature and her highest law?" |
36666 | Have you lost your senses?" |
36666 | He ax yer ter see me?" |
36666 | He bent low and softly repeated:"You''ll do as I ask now, and give him up?" |
36666 | He breathed deeply and then spoke quietly:"You-- you knew they were married?" |
36666 | He could hear Andy now as he slipped up to him afterward, grinning and chuckling and whispered:"Lordy, man, why did n''t ye holler? |
36666 | He dropped his voice to a careless, friendly tone:"They have seen each other every day?" |
36666 | He edged close and dropped his voice to the oiliest whisper:"You''ll say dat good word now to Miss Cleo right away, sah?" |
36666 | He ended his recital with the burning question:"Tell me now, doctor, honestly before God, did I kill her?" |
36666 | He giggled and asked:"Ye do n''t need no boy fer nothin, do ye?" |
36666 | He had just finished his revision of the last paragraph when a deep, laughing voice beside his chair slowly said:"May I come in?" |
36666 | He ignored her interruption and went on evenly:"How many times did he come?" |
36666 | He lit inter dem po''white trash lak er thousand er brick----""Give''em what Paddy gave the drum, I suppose?" |
36666 | He looked at her and turned pale:"It''s bothering you this morning?" |
36666 | He looked at her with a great pity in his heart and when at last she spoke her voice was scarcely a whisper:"My father and mother were married?" |
36666 | He looked at her, dropped the hat, picked it up and stammered:"W- w- why-- Miss Minerva, is dat you?" |
36666 | He returned to her chair and bent over her:"You wo n''t stop to change your dress, you''ll get your hat and coat and go just as you are-- at once?" |
36666 | He searched her black face keenly:"Did Tom slip back here to see Miss Helen while I was away on this last trip?" |
36666 | He seized her arms:"Why are you so excited? |
36666 | He shook his head threateningly when he caught his breath:"Look a here, m''am, is dat de way yer gwine spessify my welcome?" |
36666 | He signed and sealed the document and handed it to his waiting guest:"Is that satisfactory?" |
36666 | He smiled wanly and tried to assume a purely platonic tone:"Wuz yer ebber in love, Miss Minerva?" |
36666 | He spoke without looking up:"You know the road to Schlitz''s house?" |
36666 | He sprang to his feet:"Had to keep it-- you say that to me?" |
36666 | He stammered, reddened and then turned pale:"Why-- why-- naturally----""If you are innocent-- why not?" |
36666 | He threw up his hands with a gesture of disgust and resumed his seat:"What is it?" |
36666 | He turned on her angrily:"How dare you?" |
36666 | He waited a moment and spoke in quiet determined tones:[ Illustration:"''I_ dare_ you-- do you hear?''"] |
36666 | He was just in time as he softly approached behind a trellis of climbing roses to hear Tom say:"Please give me that bud you''re wearing?" |
36666 | He wheeled and hurled himself at her:"What?" |
36666 | He''s going to live-- isn''t he?" |
36666 | Helen does n''t know?" |
36666 | Helen drew closer as if for shelter and clung to his hand wistfully:"It does seem a horrible joke, does n''t it? |
36666 | Helen faced him with strained eagerness:"You swear that no stain on my father or mother can ever make the least difference between us?" |
36666 | Helen laughed:"What?" |
36666 | Helen turned with a start:"Even if the man I love should know all?" |
36666 | Helen, smiling through her tears, asked:"What are you saying? |
36666 | Her voice broke in a sob, she pulled herself together, straightened her figure and cried:"Now what are you going to do? |
36666 | Her voice was full of simple, earnest pleading:"De Lordy, major, what''s de use? |
36666 | His eyes are n''t blue?" |
36666 | His eyes burned into hers:"And you, too, have known this for weeks?" |
36666 | His face clouded with a scowl:"She''s here?" |
36666 | His voice was the gentlest whisper:"Guess?" |
36666 | How can you prevent it?" |
36666 | How could she help it now? |
36666 | How dare you use such words to me in the presence of the woman I love?" |
36666 | How''s that for a Fourth of July celebration? |
36666 | I ask it of a veteran of the Confederate army?" |
36666 | I could n''t well talk to her before all those guests----""Why not?" |
36666 | I felt it this mornin''as I walked through them crowds-- and comin''back to this coffin, major, the question is-- what shall I do to be saved?" |
36666 | I git holt er a little secret o''yourn dat gimme courage----""A secret of mine?" |
36666 | I haul off an''biff''i m right in the jaw----""And you''re going to ask Cleo to marry you?" |
36666 | I have a better plan----""What?" |
36666 | I interviewed old Peeler on the revolution in politics and its effects on the poor whites of the state----""You saw her?" |
36666 | I must know the truth without reservation-- how far has this thing gone?" |
36666 | I must prove to you that Helen_ is_ a negress----"A sudden terror crept into the young eyes:"You-- you have the proofs?" |
36666 | I reckon you can guess my secret?" |
36666 | I sez ter myself, now folks he''s gwine ter magnify----"Tom laughed:"Magnified, did he?" |
36666 | I stan''dar waitin''fer''i m ter git up an''come ergin, an''what ye reckon he done?" |
36666 | I want to know exactly what you mean?" |
36666 | I''ll des pick up er few odd jobs till you say de word-- you wo n''t fergit me?" |
36666 | I''ll go with you to- morrow and verify the records----"Cleo laughed:"You do n''t think I''m joking about her birth?" |
36666 | I''m sorry----"She clung to his hand with desperate pleading and pressed close to him:"But you wo n''t send me away?" |
36666 | I''se gwine tell yer somfin''now----""Well?" |
36666 | I_ dare_ you-- do you hear?" |
36666 | If Helen is really your child, why did you give her up so easily that day?" |
36666 | If I go an outcast you would go with me?" |
36666 | If what you say about Helen is true, in God''s name-- I ask it out of a heart quivering with anguish-- why have n''t you realized it before? |
36666 | In half an hour Tom looked into the doctor''s face:"Why, it''s Doctor Williams?" |
36666 | In his shirt sleeves he thrust his head out the door:"Who is it?" |
36666 | In spite of an effort at self- control, Norton broke into a peal of laughter:"It does look serious, does n''t it?" |
36666 | Is any progress that degrades the breed of men progress at all? |
36666 | Is his labor worth more than the purity of our racial stock? |
36666 | Is it not mere wanton cruelty? |
36666 | Is it not retrogression? |
36666 | Is n''t there a thing to put the flowers in?" |
36666 | It''s a bargain, is n''t it?" |
36666 | It''s a nightmare----"Suddenly he asked:"What did she do when you told her?" |
36666 | It''s getting dark and nobody saw me----"The editor frowned and moved uneasily"You''re alone, are n''t you?" |
36666 | Marriage is impossible-- yes----""And if I only wish for marriage?" |
36666 | Minerva fidgeted, hesitated again and finally said:"Once he stay about er hour----""And the other time?" |
36666 | Minerva nudged him slyly:"Wuz I?" |
36666 | Minerva''s eyes walled in amazement:"No?" |
36666 | Minerva, who had been listening and watching with the keenest interest, pressed forward and asked in a whisper:"Yassah, but whar''s you gwine ter be? |
36666 | Miss Helen''s young, beautiful, sweet and good-- won''t ye let me plead fer''em, sah?" |
36666 | Must I use my foot to emphasize it?" |
36666 | Nasah, dey''s sumfin else de matter wid de major----""What?" |
36666 | Norton advanced and glared at her:"What?" |
36666 | Norton bent close:"How long did he stay?" |
36666 | Norton bit his lips to keep back an oath:"How often have they been riding?" |
36666 | Norton drew back in amazement:"You mean to tell me that you do n''t know that they are married?" |
36666 | Norton fixed him with a stern look:"Has Tom been back here during the past four weeks?" |
36666 | Norton laughed and quietly said:"Well, Andy?" |
36666 | Norton paused and looked sharply at Tom:"Was-- that-- Helen?" |
36666 | Norton quietly recovered himself and replied angrily:"Do I look as if I were dying?" |
36666 | Norton recognized the young cabinet- maker''s voice, and spoke in low tense tones:"By whose authority are you using these disguises, to- night?" |
36666 | Norton smiled:"Did you look in my big cedar box?" |
36666 | Norton smiled:"You wish to see me?" |
36666 | Norton turned a puzzled face on the grinning black one:"Advice?" |
36666 | Norton turned away and the Governor laid his trembling hand on his arm:"Your decision is absolutely final, Major Norton?" |
36666 | Norton was watching closely:"She told you what I had just said to her?" |
36666 | Norton watched him with a dazed look and cried suddenly:"Where are you going?" |
36666 | Norton''s eyes suddenly grew dim, he leaned on the table, stared at Andy, and repeated blankly:"The young lady I asked to spend the summer with us?" |
36666 | Norton''s eyes were again burning into her soul as he asked in a low voice:"Suppose it does?" |
36666 | Norton''s figure stiffened and he looked at the man with a flush of anger:"Did you say demand?" |
36666 | Norton''s words were hurled at her, each one a solid shot:"Would you have given up that child without a struggle-- if she had really been your own?" |
36666 | Now get out of this room-- and stay out of it, do you hear?" |
36666 | Now what do you say to that?" |
36666 | Now, major, I reckon you''re about the level- headest and the most influential man in the county-- the question is, what shall I do to be saved?" |
36666 | Oh, my boy, when you look on these walls at your fathers, do n''t you see this, do n''t you feel this, do n''t you know this?" |
36666 | Or seek you? |
36666 | Or would the waves of oblivion roll over the prostrate body without a sign? |
36666 | Peeler''s?" |
36666 | Peeler?" |
36666 | Shall we improve the breed of horses and degrade our men? |
36666 | Shall we improve the breed of men or degrade it? |
36666 | She began speaking with quick nervous energy:"Dr. Williams told you?" |
36666 | She entered that hall to- night? |
36666 | She felt an instant relief and pulled herself together with a touch of bravado:"And now that you see I am, what are you going to do about it?" |
36666 | She gazed at him steadily with a look of undisguised hate:"What is it?" |
36666 | She gazed steadily into his eyes and asked with sharp rising emphasis:"Why?" |
36666 | She gently disengaged herself, asking:"How did you get away from him so quickly?" |
36666 | She has found out----""What-- how-- when?" |
36666 | She heard the girl''s swift, excited step on the stairway and rushed to the door:"What is it? |
36666 | She held him from her a moment, looked into his eyes and cried:"And you missed me, darling?" |
36666 | She held his hand clasped in hers for a moment and slowly said:"I have n''t done anything wrong, have I, major?" |
36666 | She lifted her face to his in wonder:"And you will dare to tell your father?" |
36666 | She lifted her head pleadingly:"You will let me come to you then?" |
36666 | She looked at him timidly:"You wo n''t forget that he is your father, and loves you better than his own life?" |
36666 | She nudged him gently:"G''long, man, what is it?" |
36666 | She paused and extended her hand pleadingly:"Ca n''t I put in des one little word, sah?" |
36666 | She paused and extended her hand pleadingly:"You''ll be easy wid''em, sah?" |
36666 | She pressed closer with sudden desperate courage, her voice full of wistful friendliness:"Oh, major, what have I done to offend you? |
36666 | She pressed his arm eagerly:"Think-- what would you do?" |
36666 | She rapped again:"Please, Miss Helen, may I come in just a minute?" |
36666 | She rushed to him and laid her hand appealingly on his arm:"Oh, Tom, dear, am I not your wife?" |
36666 | She spoke at last in a half- laughing, incredulous way:"Suppose she died? |
36666 | She sprang to her feet clutching at her throat, trembling from head to foot--"What do you mean by looking at me like that?" |
36666 | She started with sudden alarm and whispered:"You have n''t got the pistol that you brought home to- day from the campaign, have you?" |
36666 | She stopped and stammered:"Why-- why-- wuz yer lookin''fer me, major?" |
36666 | She threw Helen a look of resentment:"Why do you draw away from me like that?" |
36666 | She tried to draw away but he held her hand firmly:"What is it? |
36666 | She turned to Tom:"Why did you lock the door-- what does it mean?" |
36666 | She walked quickly into the room, and threw her head up with defiance:"Well?" |
36666 | She was on the verge of screaming in his face when he said in low, intense tones:"You did get even with me-- didn''t you?" |
36666 | She''s atter me sho, an''ef she gits me in er close place, what I gwine do, sah?" |
36666 | Show dat man ter me-- who say dat?" |
36666 | Social fictions-- prejudices?" |
36666 | Sposen, sah, dat a gemman got ter take his choice twixt marryin''er lady dat''s forcin''herself on''i m, er kill hissef?" |
36666 | Surely, I have the right to know"--she turned suddenly to Norton--"You do n''t hate me now, do you, major?" |
36666 | That he knows the full history of my birth and the names of my father and mother?" |
36666 | The Klan''s the only way to save this country from hell-- what do you mean by jumpin''on it?" |
36666 | The answer came slowly:"And you ca n''t guess what''s happened?" |
36666 | The boy appealed to his father:"Have n''t we come to a perfect understanding, Dad?" |
36666 | The boy laughed again:"And I suppose, of course, he believed all you told him?" |
36666 | The boy looked at Andy with a sudden start:"Ah, how could that sweet little girl upset him? |
36666 | The boy rose, closed the door, and sat down near his father''s chair:"Well, Dad, why so serious? |
36666 | The boy shook his head again and frowned:"You''re a hopeless old sinner----""Who, me, er sinner? |
36666 | The boy spoke with sharp eagerness:"Tell me what?" |
36666 | The boy suddenly lifted his head:"Why did you bring Helen into this house?" |
36666 | The boy turned slightly away and the father watched him keenly and furtively for a moment, and took a step toward him:"You have never been in love?" |
36666 | The boy was quiet a moment and looked at the tall figure with a queer expression:"Has she maintained it?" |
36666 | The captain stepped forward:"Are you Major Daniel Norton?" |
36666 | The dazed man turned slowly and looked at the tray and then at the grinning negro:"What''s this?" |
36666 | The doctor was silent for a long while and his eyes wandered to the darkening sky where the stars were coming out one by one:"Who knows but God? |
36666 | The editor looked at the clerk steadily for a moment and quietly asked:"What amount of bail do you require?" |
36666 | The editor rose, closed the door and resumed his seat:"Well, sir; how can I serve you?" |
36666 | The editor smiled:"Really?" |
36666 | The election returns ca n''t be in yet?" |
36666 | The farmer smiled:"I_ am_ a Scotchman-- ain''t I?" |
36666 | The father frowned:"She has been in the habit of making you her confidant?" |
36666 | The father''s hand felt blindly for the boy''s and grasped it desperately:"You wo n''t remember a single harsh word that I''ve said?" |
36666 | The father''s keen eyes pierced the boy''s:"Why should she run?" |
36666 | The father''s long trembling finger traced slowly each word:"''Remember that I love you and have forgiven----''""Forgiven what?" |
36666 | The girl drew herself up with a movement of quiet determination and spoke in even tones:"My parents are Southern?" |
36666 | The girl looked at him steadily:"Then, you are my real guardian?" |
36666 | The girl smiled with a puzzled look:"Suppose it does? |
36666 | The lavender hose moved stealthily:"You will advocate this?" |
36666 | The little Scalawag paled and his voice was scarcely a whisper:"Why-- why, what do you mean?" |
36666 | The old man seized her hand with a cruel grip:"Do you dare tell me that this girl is your daughter?" |
36666 | The older man drew closer:"A cheap bluff, eh? |
36666 | The one question now was--"what did she mean?" |
36666 | The pacing figure paused and eyed his tormentor, lifting his shaggy brows:"Yes?" |
36666 | The power you once had is gone-- gone forever-- never to return----""Then why be afraid? |
36666 | The question is, can you divide the white race on this issue?" |
36666 | The red blood rushed to his head and he blanched with a death- like pallor:"And you have been afraid of Cleo?" |
36666 | The thought shaped itself into questions:"Is n''t the price we pay too great? |
36666 | The very thought brought a cry of agony to his lips:"God in heaven-- what can I do?" |
36666 | The voice softened to persuasive tones:"He has n''t slipped back here even for an hour since I''ve been gone?" |
36666 | The whole mob are not coming here, are they?" |
36666 | The wife caught the girl by the shoulders and cried:"Who told you this?" |
36666 | The woman''s eyes narrowed and her voice purred:"You''re going to stand by me now?" |
36666 | The young editor drew his old comrade in arms down into his chair and sat on the table facing him:"And how''s the wife and kids, Mac?" |
36666 | The young editor suddenly wheeled in his chair and spoke with quick emphasis:"Mr. Peeler, I believe?" |
36666 | There''s a fiercer vengeance to be meted out to your Scalawag Governor----""What do you mean?" |
36666 | There''s not a chance that you''ll change your mind?" |
36666 | There''s not room for us both in the state----""And you think this laughing child cares anything about the Governor or his dirty politics? |
36666 | These editorials in_ The Eagle and Phoenix_ cussin''the Klan----""You do n''t like them?" |
36666 | They''re going to kill him, too----""Then there''s time to stop them-- quick-- can you hitch a horse?" |
36666 | This is not one of your lies you give for medicine sometimes?" |
36666 | To grin and hint the truth to your friends?" |
36666 | Tom assumed a judicial attitude, folded his arms and asked:"Well, who''s the other one?--who''s your true love?" |
36666 | Tom cried, squaring himself and looking Andy over:"Are n''t you just a little shady?" |
36666 | Tom gave a start:"Dad----""Over every mile of that long drive home last night, I was brooding and thinking of you----""Of me?" |
36666 | Tom has made love to you?" |
36666 | Tom held his ground with dogged coolness:"_ Have_ you told me the truth?" |
36666 | Tom ignored his answer:"Has n''t Cleo been blackmailing you?" |
36666 | Tom looked at her intently:"You say that you will obey me?" |
36666 | Tom sat up in bed rubbing his eyes:"What''s that?" |
36666 | Tom took a step and looked up in surprise:"The way-- what way?" |
36666 | Tom?" |
36666 | Tom?" |
36666 | Was he losing his mind? |
36666 | We must face each other to- day with souls bare-- why are you her guardian?" |
36666 | Well, I found out twenty years ago that beneath the skin of every man sleeps an ape and a tiger-- I fought that battle and won----""And I have lost?" |
36666 | Were they not both the victims, in a sense, of the follies of centuries? |
36666 | What are we to do without''em, that''s the question?" |
36666 | What are you going to do with me? |
36666 | What are you going to do with these negroes?" |
36666 | What are you going to do? |
36666 | What are you talking about?" |
36666 | What can I do?" |
36666 | What can we do with them? |
36666 | What did it mean? |
36666 | What do you mean?" |
36666 | What does it mean?" |
36666 | What has happened?" |
36666 | What have you to say?" |
36666 | What is it? |
36666 | What sort of a man is he?" |
36666 | What sort of love do you think I''ve given you? |
36666 | What was her active brain and vital personality up to? |
36666 | What was her game? |
36666 | What was the use? |
36666 | What ye got agin me?" |
36666 | What''s an accident of birth? |
36666 | What''s de lowes''bid now, gemmens, yer gwine ter gimme ter bode''em by de month? |
36666 | What''s happened? |
36666 | What''s the matter?" |
36666 | What''s the matter?" |
36666 | What''s the matter?" |
36666 | When the laughter had died away Norton asked in good- natured tones:"You say I can depend on you, Andy?" |
36666 | When the old man spoke again, his voice trembled with emotion, he stepped close and seized Norton''s arm:"My boy, have you gone mad?" |
36666 | Where were they last night-- the loafing, drunken cowards? |
36666 | Where-- here?" |
36666 | Who dares to say such a thing?" |
36666 | Who dares to tell such a lie? |
36666 | Who is she? |
36666 | Who is this dusky figure of the forest with whom you would cross your blood? |
36666 | Who says they are married?" |
36666 | Why did n''t she come? |
36666 | Why did you do this fiendish thing? |
36666 | Why did you, of all men on earth, accept such a position?" |
36666 | Why do n''t you give me your hand? |
36666 | Why do you look so strangely at each other?" |
36666 | Why do you tremble so?" |
36666 | Why had he lied and deceived her at all? |
36666 | Why had she been so foolish? |
36666 | Why have n''t you realized this before? |
36666 | Why is it so hard?" |
36666 | Why must I bear the sins of my father and mother? |
36666 | Why not? |
36666 | Why should he dislike her? |
36666 | Why teach me to think and feel and know this?" |
36666 | Why were you both so pale when I came in?" |
36666 | Why, what do you mean?" |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | Why? |
36666 | With a cry of anguish, the man turned again on the girl:"Why do you stand there grinning at me? |
36666 | With a cry of joy Helen knelt and drew Tom into her arms:"Oh, darling, did you hear it-- oh, my sweetheart, did you hear it?" |
36666 | With a cry of surprise and terror, the woman leaped to his side, her voice a whisper:"Married? |
36666 | With a cry she staggered back and threw her hand instinctively up as if to ward a blow:"Yes-- yes, you would-- wouldn''t you?" |
36666 | With a gleam of hope in her deep blue eyes she rose trembling:"You really mean that? |
36666 | With a leap Norton grasped the boy again and shook him madly:"Married already? |
36666 | With an effort Tom kept his face straight:"No, I may be just as big a fool some day myself-- who is she?" |
36666 | Without turning or moving a muscle he asked:"What do you mean?" |
36666 | Wo n''t you accept my humility in this hour in part atonement for my mistakes? |
36666 | Wo n''t you tell him for us right away? |
36666 | Wo n''t you trust me, boy?" |
36666 | Wo n''t you try to remember this?" |
36666 | Would he know and understand? |
36666 | Would yer be his friend an''help him to win her?" |
36666 | Yassah, I done resigned, an''I thought, major, maybe you get a job''bout de office or''bout de house fer er young likely nigger''bout my size?" |
36666 | You are quite determined to maintain the policy of your paper on this point?" |
36666 | You are sure?" |
36666 | You ca n''t suspend the law of gravitation by saying so on a scrap of paper----""You are ready to go?" |
36666 | You ca n''t think it a forgery?" |
36666 | You could n''t choose your parents, could you? |
36666 | You do n''t hate me, do you? |
36666 | You got ter puttin''on more airs dan de major----""Ah, who is she?" |
36666 | You like to go to funerals, do n''t you?" |
36666 | You like to see a fight, do n''t you?" |
36666 | You remember that feeling when we were lost sometimes in strange countries hunting together, you and I?" |
36666 | You sho ai n''t gwine ter die ter- night?" |
36666 | You will, wo n''t you?" |
36666 | You would n''t think I''m so strong, would you?" |
36666 | You''ll help me, mother?" |
36666 | You''ve always loved him as if he were your own----""Well, what of it?" |
36666 | You, a strong, innocent man, stunned by a weak contemptible lie like this from the lips of such a girl-- what do you mean?" |
36666 | You, who have dinned into my ears from childhood that I should keep myself clean from the touch of such pollution-- why did you take the risk?" |
36666 | You-- you forgive me for striking you to- night?" |
36666 | Your answer gives me courage"--he paused and his voice quivered with deep intensity--"you really love Tom?" |
36666 | Your creed forbids you to receive a negro as a social equal?" |
36666 | [ Illustration:"''How dare you?''"] |
36666 | and I''ve made my decision"--he paused a moment and then demanded:"How do you know her blood is tainted?" |
36666 | and you love me-- you do love me?" |
36666 | or is it just a cut in my wages? |
36666 | the boy''s head drooped--"must you have a secret from me now?" |
36666 | what''s that?" |
