22095Knew my mother?
22095Lieutenant Hume? 22095 Then you have not forgotten me?"

22095Wo n''t either one of you say she is glad to see me?
22095You are just homesick, are n''t you, and longing for some one who shall be nameless? 22095 You care very much about this woman, this Sonya Valesky, Miss Thornton?"
22095You do n''t think, General, that there is anything that could be done to have Sonya Valesky pardoned, do you?
22095You mean about Sonya Valesky?

22095Am I to have a bed or the cot in this sitting room?"
22095And have you come directly here from Grovno?

22095And why should the young Russian officer have warned her against his own friend?

22095I am dreadfully hungry; ca n''t we have something to eat before I finish my story?"
22095I simply could n''t bear living in Russia always, could you, Mildred?"
22095If I can do even the least thing to help him at such a crisis, why, how could I refuse?
22095If so, what on earth should she say?
22095It is the custom of your country when a man cares for a woman to tell her so, is it not, or perhaps I should have written first to your father?"
22095It merely asked that if Sonya Valesky should ever find it possible to know her daughter, Nona Davis, would she be her friend?
22095Later, in recalling their conversation, she often thought of a phrase he used:"What is one woman more or less in times like these?"
22095May I sit down?"
22095Oh, Mildred, what have you been doing all this time?
22095She was very unhappy, but what else was possible for her to do?
22095Should she go in or not?
22095Should she reveal herself in the selfsame light again?
22095So with neither beauty nor charm, how could she ever even hope to gratify her mother by securing the distinguished husband she so desired for her?
22095Tell us where you received your information and why we are to be sent away so ignominiously?"
22095Was General Alexis actually saying that he was in love with her?
22095Was Nona aware that there were many girls and young men, oftentimes members of noble families, who believed in a new and different Russia?
22095Was it because she was too engrossed in her own life and her own mysterious mission?
22095Was there a chance that the young Russian lieutenant might be a possible connection?
22095Was there a spy or an assassin lurking in his church to destroy him?

22095What else was she to find out about this strange country before her work as a nurse was over?

22095What was she doing here near the Russian line of fortifications, living like a peasant with only two old peasants in attendance upon her?
22095What would become of Mildred Thornton, left behind with strangers in a besieged fortress that might fall at any hour?
22095When the two friends reached the hut, Nona Davis exclaimed in amazement:"What on earth has happened?
22095Why had she gone away?
22095Why had they always led her to believe by their silences that there was something to be ashamed of in her mother''s story?
22095Why should this man create such an atmosphere of trust and respect?
22095Why should you not be willing to leave her to her fate?"
22095Why, do you know what has become of him?"
22095Why, what would your mother and father and Dick think of my deserting you at such a time?
22095Would one of the hospital physicians come and see her?
22095Yet what was she to do?
22095You know I told you I had met him the day he came into my hospital ward to decorate the dying soldier?"
33990All persons possessed of any genius are supposed to be vain, are n''t they, Carlo? 33990 And all this long speech, which may or may not be complimentary, leads up to just what human equation at present?"
33990And who is that romantic young soldier standing beneath her?
33990Are n''t you praying every moment, Ruth, that we may be ordered forward with the army of occupation into Germany? 33990 Are you not Major James Hersey, one of the youngest majors in the United States overseas service?
33990Are you sure you will not become tired, Bianca, and the distance is not too much for you?
33990Bee is looking better than you expected to find her, is n''t she, Carlo, and more like a little girl? 33990 Bianca,"Carlo asked,"have you ever read the story of the Rheingold in the Ring of the Nibelung?
33990But do n''t you think, Dr. Raymond, we might ask the friends who have come to welcome us and who seem hungriest to share our food? 33990 But who is this Countess Charlotta whom you desire to have with you here in Coblenz in order that you may continue your friendship?"
33990But you do n''t mean, Countess Charlotta--"How do you know my name?
33990But you will stay and see if Freia is seriously hurt? 33990 Ca n''t you guess and tell me first, Sonya?"
33990Carlo, you have not asked Bianca to dance, you wo n''t forget, will you?
33990Do n''t you think we had best go back to the hospital in a few moments, Thea?
33990Do n''t you think we had better go back, Charlotta?
33990Do n''t you think, Colonel, we might postpone the interview until the arrival of Mrs. David Clark? 33990 Do you think I might talk to your father?
33990Do you think, Sonya, that Carlo knew he was to be cited this afternoon?
33990Do? 33990 Have you been dancing, Bianca?"
33990I wonder how you managed that, Miss Jamison?
33990I wonder if you are going to be willing to do me a great favor? 33990 I wonder if you will tell me just what members of Dr. Clark''s staff are going with him?"
33990I wonder why we can not take''La petite Louisa''along with us, Sonya? 33990 I wonder, Carlo, if you will ever learn to think or talk of any one except yourself?"
33990If you do n''t mind, Tante, would you mind ringing the bell? 33990 If you do n''t mind, may I take off my hat while I talk?"
33990Is this the way you like your tea, Carlo? 33990 May I write you after we go away and tell you where we are to be stationed?
33990Not Carlo?
33990Not jealous, are you, Bee? 33990 Queer song for me to sing, is n''t it, Bianca?"
33990Shall I try pushing the little front door open, Mrs. Clark? 33990 Then we are friends, are n''t we, Bee?
33990We are not walking faster than you like, Miss Pringle?
33990What are you going to do with this child, Sonya?
33990What brings you to Coblenz? 33990 What is it you wish to talk to me about?"
33990What is it, baby?
33990What is it, what has happened?
33990Why not walk as we have many times with my hand in your''s to keep you from slipping, Bianca?
33990You are Mrs. Clark are n''t you? 33990 You are sure there is no one who may overhear us, Colonel Winfield?"
33990You do n''t approve of my having come away from home in the way that I did, do you, Major Hersey? 33990 You have been to see our troops break camp and start for Germany?
33990You will sit down, wo n''t you, and wait until we hear whether Mrs. Clark will be able to join us tonight?
33990After all one could understand, the German viewpoint since in spite of having been told to love our enemies, how few of us have accomplished it?
33990And if it were possible and not too much trouble could she remain at the American Red Cross hospital until her recovery?
33990At least you will let me bring you a chair?"
33990Besides why did Fraulein Liedermann not entertain her girl friends in the drawing- rooms of her home?
33990Besides, after all, would it be so unpleasant to share one''s future with Bianca?
33990But do you think you ought to talk?
33990But have you Dr. Clark''s note to the officer of the day?
33990But if Captain Liedermann were well why should he continue to make a pretence of illness?
33990But my problem is, would he accept an apology which did not include obedience?
33990But now that I am safely here, you will take me with you to Germany?
33990But where is your usual companion, the little French girl?"
33990But wo n''t you have this chair?"
33990By the way, do you suppose we know any people here?
33990Can the war not be over among us women at least?
33990Do n''t you think she will probably have many admirers, Carlo?"
33990Do you remember how the Pied Piper led the German children away into some undiscovered country when their parents refused to pay him his just dues?
33990Do you suppose it would be possible for me to get hold of a horse in Coblenz which I could use?
33990Do you think I could get to America without being discovered?
33990Had he been told he was to be decorated?"
33990Has Carlo spoken to you on the subject recently?
33990Have n''t you some woman who is your friend to whom you could appeal?
33990Have you ever been desperate enough not to care what happened to you?"
33990I am sure you agree with me?"
33990I say, here comes Mrs. Clark now, why not ask her to help you?"
33990I suppose he would only think me extraordinarily impertinent?"
33990I suppose, Colonel Winfield, that you could arrange for us to go to the United States?"
33990I wonder if the excitement of our journey is having a strange influence upon me?"
33990I wonder if you are one of the lucky persons who never grow up?
33990If so why had little Gretchen told so ingenious a falsehood?
33990It is foolish to be prejudiced against people, is n''t it?
33990May I at least talk to Dr. Clark?
33990May I wish you all good fortune?"
33990Miss Jamison, you will look after her, wo n''t you, since she seems to prefer you?"
33990Nicht war?"
33990Now you are tired, shall I not send you back to the hospital in my car?"
33990Odd name his for an American, what is it?"
33990Still you have been very successful and perhaps may wish to keep on with nursing as a profession after we return home?"
33990Then if you are still in Coblenz and I write you, wo n''t you come to Luxemburg?
33990Therefore would Nona marry him as soon as it could be arranged?
33990Under the circumstances I wonder how long our Red Cross unit may remain?"
33990Was it my good fortune or my ill fortune that I landed in Paris just three days before the armistice was signed to begin my Red Cross nursing?
33990Was it possible that she did not desire to forgive and forget as the little German frau appeared to wish?
33990Was it singular that one could not recover from the sensation of acute distrust in the presence of a German?
33990Was it true that Captain Ludwig Liedermann was still unable to move from his bed?
33990Was there not a grave near Château- Thierry and a memory which must forever divide them?
33990What are you thinking about?"
33990What do you think we should do?"
33990What matter if the Germans had failed in their war against freedom, if her own freedom was still denied her?
33990What on earth made you come for a walk without any warmer clothes?
33990What would she do when she returned to the old narrowness of her past existence with the eternal disagreements?
33990What would you do?
33990When love hath flown, who shall endure?"
33990Where, child, had you ever heard my name?"
33990Why not talk to her?
33990Will you ask him to give me a few moments?
33990Will you meet me in an hour under the big linden tree in the park where Freia and Gretchen tell me you are in the habit of playing with them?
33990Will you trust me and not report my actions to any one for the present?"
33990Would Major Hersey also try to be present?
33990Would it do the least good?
33990Would n''t you like to share my fame?"
33990Yet what is the harm in my amusing myself?
33990You do n''t mind my being a little complimentary?"
33990You have relatives here whom you are intending to visit?"
33990You wo n''t mind if I go on eating a moment longer, will you?
53730And I wonder how you formed that opinion, Nona? 53730 And Monsieur Bebé?"
53730Are n''t you pleased to see me, Barbara-- Miss Meade?
53730Are you disappointed in what they wish you to do, Barbara, child?
53730Are you disgusted with me, Gene?
53730Are you very rich, Eugenia Peabody?
53730Barbara?
53730But I thought I was to be your guest of honor, Gene?
53730But if Eugenia understood what she would have to face, whatever made her do such a mad thing? 53730 But is n''t Nona one of the prettiest girls you ever saw and the most charming?"
53730But you have n''t said what the trouble is between us, Bab, or whether you are willing to forgive me?
53730Can we stop a minute somewhere, Gene, before we get back to the house? 53730 Desert us?"
53730Dick Thornton, can it be possible this is you, when you are in Brussels?
53730Dick,she said in an awed tone,"did n''t you use_ both_ your arms just now, when you kept me from falling?"
53730Did anyone in the world ever talk in such a ridiculous fashion as Barbara, and yet was there ever anyone so delightful?
53730Do n''t you understand what the ivy means?
53730Do you know what ivy stands for?
53730Do you know, girls, Eugenia Peabody has become a mystery to me lately? 53730 Does he appear more cheerful since I left him with you a week ago?"
53730Great heavens, who was that, Gene?
53730How are things going, Bibo?
53730How can one help being? 53730 How could I?
53730I know it is a painful situation, Eugenia dear, but what_ can_ you do with three babies? 53730 I say, Barbara, why ca n''t I go along with you?"
53730I say, which would you prefer, to talk to a man without a collar or to help him put one on? 53730 I wish you could persuade Barbara Meade to share that idea of yours, Nona?"
53730I wonder if I shall ever learn what to say and what not to say, Gene?
53730Is that American frankness, Eugenie? 53730 Let us have tea, wo n''t you, please, Dick?"
53730Please wait a while, Madame Carton, if possible, until I can see you again?
53730Shall we tell Barbara now?
53730Sounds polite, does n''t it, what I am trying to say? 53730 Tell me, Miss Peabody, what do you think I should do?"
53730That is tremendously good news, is n''t it? 53730 Then Gene is well?"
53730Was Dick here this afternoon?
53730We were hurt with Eugenia for not taking us into her confidence sooner, were n''t we?
53730What do you mean?
53730What do you suppose father really did mean, then, Mill?
53730What does this mean?
53730What is it you wish me to persuade Barbara to believe?
53730What is it, Dick?
53730What is the matter, Bab? 53730 What possible harm could be done if Monsieur Bebé, in reality Albert Reney, be transferred to Eugenia''s home in the woods?
53730What shall I do? 53730 What would Eugenia have done for one of them under the same circumstances?"
53730What would you give to have that same little French girl, Nicolete, talk to you some day not very far off?
53730Whose room is this, Eugenia? 53730 Why do n''t you say something, Gene?"
53730Why do you happen to be wearing that spray of ivy so proudly, Dick?
53730Why should I try to deceive you? 53730 Why, what does this mean, Eugenia?"
53730Will you wait a moment, please, until the children can be taken to another part of the yard?
53730You do n''t mean, Eugenia Peabody, that you have decided to give up the Red Cross work and go back home? 53730 Your place beside me?"
53730Am I ever going to be sensible again?"
53730And how was it possible that any human being could escape from Belgium whom the Germans wished to detain?
53730Are you a princess in disguise?
53730Ask her as a favor to me?"
53730But I wonder if it is fair to Mildred and Nona to have you leave them for even a short time?
53730But how convince her of this at the present moment?
53730But how could any human being have suspected Eugenia of riches when she wore such dreadful clothes?"
53730But it is true, is n''t it, Eugenia, that if one is happy oneself, it is not hard to bear the sufferings of other people?
53730But the fact is, I did n''t care then, because, because-- Oh, why is it so hard to get it out, Gene?
53730But what was the root of the trouble between her and her two former friends?
53730But why, after all, had Nicolete decided to come away with them from her own beloved land?
53730Ca n''t you help me?
53730Ca n''t you think of some way to save us_ all_?"
53730Did you think for an instant I would allow you and Eugenia to go on this long trip alone, when Eugenia has been so ill?
53730Do old maids now and then represent the real mother spirit?
53730Do you remember two Red Cross nurses to whom you gave some flowers that you and the other soldiers had made grow in the mouth of your trench?
53730Do you think I''ll make a great failure as a mother, Bab?"
53730For was not Dick a soldier of peace rather than of war, yet one who had made the same sacrifice?
53730How big was Eugenia''s house and her sympathy these days?
53730How long must I serve before you return my affection?"
53730How was she to make him see Eugenia''s point of view?
53730I believe it was the first evening after Dick Thornton arrived in Brussels?
53730I ca n''t tell her this to her face though, can I, Eugenia?
53730I do n''t see why girls need always be ashamed of caring for people who do n''t care for them?
53730I do n''t suppose you have the faintest idea of what I am trying to say?
53730I know it is an ungrateful present, but you''ll listen, wo n''t you?"
53730I never believed Nona as strong as you, Barbara, so why do you seem so used up?
53730I wonder if it was because you were brought up in the south that you are so conventional?
53730I wonder if real saints ever had such traits of character?
53730If I can not like her now because she is prettier and more charming than I am, then why did I like her at the beginning of our acquaintance?
53730If possible, would you like one of us to write you?"
53730Is it because you enjoy looking after the Belgian children?"
53730Is that why you haunt the church of Saint Gudula?"
53730Is there any one here to assist you?"
53730Is your work at the hospital more difficult than hers?"
53730May I buy the house from your mother?
53730May I go inside and see?"
53730Moreover, where could she be going?
53730Or was he hearing again the cracking of rifles, the booming of cannon, all the noises of the past year of life in a trench?
53730Shall I return to Brussels and give us all up to the authorities?"
53730Should she insist that Dick was not in love with Nona when she knew absolutely nothing about it?
53730Suppose they should be compelled to scamper for shelter just at the critical moment in Eugenia''s plans?
53730Suppose this Miss Peabody should be so inconsiderate as to die?
53730Then I wonder if it is best I should leave you alone?
53730Then afterwards we both watched Nicolete dance and you threw her a spray of mignonette?"
53730Was he dreaming of Provence before France was driven into war?
53730Was it not possible that Eugenia be removed to a hospital or to her own home until she recovered?
53730What could she have in mind this afternoon of greater importance?
53730What could_ I_ possibly do to help you?
53730What excuse did she have for saving the man and his family?
53730What had_ they_ to do with this war and its horrors?
53730What is it that has been making you feel and behave so differently toward me lately?
53730What makes you believe as you do, Barbara?"
53730What other reason could she have, except to spare me humiliation, for refusing to have anything to do with me since I came to Brussels?
53730What possible danger could come to these little kiddies and me?"
53730What right had she to be jealous and miserable because a beautiful experience had come to Nona and Dick?
53730Which one of you shall it be?"
53730Who do you think arrived in Brussels today to help with the American Relief work?"
53730Whom had she in hiding all these weeks, risking her own liberty for his or her safety?
53730Why had he not made the suggestion to Barbara Meade rather than to her?
53730Why had she not come with them this afternoon?
53730Why should any one of us expect her to be?"
53730Will you go with me upon a more cheerful excursion some day?"
53730Will you listen while I read it to you?
53730Wo n''t you wear this?"
53730Wonder if you have ever guessed my secret, Nona?"
53730Would you like Nona and me to leave you?
53730Yet it must be some one whose safety her friend considered of great importance, for had she not deliberately lied to her?
53730Yet what reason could there have been for not telling her they expected Richard Thornton''s appearance in Brussels on this particular afternoon?
53730You are not trying to play at being the patron saint of Brussels, are you?
53730Your place is with them rather than any one else, is n''t it?"
44202And you have taken charge of these nurses?
44202Conductor, you had a hot box a few miles back; do n''t you think it should be looked to after passing MacClenny?
44202Had he a family; did they want food, or clothing? 44202 Is dat all?"
44202Of what?
44202On Change,like the price of wheat on the market?
44202Well,said Miss Barton,"do you think you could not raise seeds enough from those onions?"
44202What do you go for?
44202Will you not tell her?
44202Would she like to return to the childhood home in Indiana?
44202Would you ladies take the agency of the Red Cross to deliver supplies to these people?
44202Yes, is n''t it enough?
44202--What had I done?
44202Again I would say that to those taking the first lessons in army life, all these things seem incomprehensible, to say the least, and"Who''s to blame?"
44202Among these hard facts appears a conscientious theorist and asks, Is not war a great sin and wrong?
44202And these were the women who went to the war: The women of question; what_ did_ they go for?
44202And weary eyes grew brighter then, and fainting hearts grew strong, And hope was mingled in the cry,"How long, oh Lord, how long?"
44202And what did they know about_ war_, anyway?
44202And what would they do if war came again?
44202And when can true friendship be tested if not in the hour of misfortune?
44202Are we not to be run out and wait aside and salute with dipping colors while the great battleships come up with music and banners and lead the way?
44202Before us now lie the problems of the future, and the question is: How shall we meet them?
44202But is man doing this work alone?
44202But the subject changed with"How many cases did you lose in this epidemic, Mammy?"
44202But what had stirred America up and set it, apparently, against us?
44202But what need to tell?
44202But where should they look?
44202Can you not help me out with this?"
44202Can you send doctors with medicines from Harpoot?
44202Can you send food?"
44202Can you wonder that so many poor creatures were drowned or that anything was saved at all?
44202Could I be permitted to ask to see them under flag of truce?
44202Could anything appeal more piteously; could it be more pathetic?
44202Could it be possible that we were to learn this anew?
44202Could this be secured within two or three months from men not experienced in war?
44202Could you telegraph her?''
44202Courage, hope, enterprise to bestir themselves, where will they come from?
44202Did our commands, military or naval, hold men great enough of soul for such action?
44202Did some one tell me?
44202Do we even want to recall them?
44202Do we need to live them over?
44202Do you want additional nurses?
44202For what, indeed, was it laboring?
44202Had anything been worse than this?
44202Had he little children?"
44202Had the nation gone mad, or what_ had_ happened to it?
44202Has that any significance or any connection with philanthropy?
44202Holyland?"
44202How shall I describe our daily work?
44202How shall we thank Miss Clara Barton and the Red Cross for the help they have given us?
44202How was it to be done?
44202How was this to be done?
44202I attempted to write the real state of things to you; but of what use?
44202I did not at once recall him, but among his first remarks were,"You have been at the front?"
44202I had still the courage to persevere, and added,"What would you have me do, if I could do it?"
44202If a parasite, drawing sustenance from others?
44202If in any way it has disappointed the expectations of the country or the people?
44202If it has been a costly adjunct to the government?
44202If it has been an idle body?
44202If it has found favor with the people it has gone to aid?
44202If it has gained or lost in public estimation?
44202If it has given cause to the government to regret its admission?
44202If it has promised and not performed?
44202If it has sustained its national standing in good repute with the affiliating nations of the world?
44202If its work has been actual, or merely appeared upon paper?
44202In regard to the good accomplished by the Red Cross( a question so often asked), can more be said than this?
44202In what minds did it originate?
44202Inquiry showed them to cost$ 5.00 per barrel, and was it any wonder they did not eat them?
44202Is n''t it encouraging a bad principle; would n''t it be better to do away with all war?
44202Is the Red Cross a humanitarian organization?
44202It was at one of these meetings the fact had been presented that the prime problem was"How to feed 30,000 people with$ 30,000 for one year?"
44202Just how far was the American Government disposed to accept the services of this society?
44202No purpose of our own?
44202No regular hours?
44202No routine-- no system?
44202One of the first questions Count Tolstoi asked was,"What do you think of most?
44202One of the nurses(?
44202Ought we to provide for it, to make it easy, to lessen its horrors, to mitigate its sufferings?
44202Painless either to the victim or the nation?
44202Said an old aunty to a lady friend of mine:"Has yer children, honey?"
44202Shall we not in this way encourage rulers and peoples to engage in war for slight and fancied grievances?
44202Should not the executive officer in every large hospital be selected somewhat with reference to his business capacity?
44202Tell her the error?
44202The great query which confronts us, and often with a tinge of seeming reproach, is:"Why is so little known of your organization?
44202The query is, could not this mortality be reduced by the plan suggested?
44202The question has often been asked:"While America was so active in this charity, what was the government of Russia doing for its unfortunates?"
44202The relief societies going to pieces, and turning sad glances here?
44202The women who went to the field, you say, The_ women_ who went to the field; and pray What did they go for?--just to be in the way?
44202There are eighteen on our list who left with you and Colonel Southmayd; where are your comrades?"
44202There is no room for comment, only who is lost, who has escaped, and what can be done for them?
44202They had provided for two and could only get trace of one; where was the other?
44202They would scream at the sight of a gun, do n''t you see?
44202To the question so frequently and kindly asked of us,"Did you have money enough, or were you embarrassed in your operations by want of funds?"
44202To what did America object, and how could these objections be overcome?
44202To whom is this movement due?
44202WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RED CROSS IN ITS RELATION TO PHILANTHROPY?
44202Was it painless?
44202Was not this a call for the Red Cross?
44202Was this a country to reject a treaty for the help of wounded soldiers?
44202Was this all there was of us?
44202Was this people to decline a humanity in war?
44202Was this to remain so?
44202We were met with this unanswerable reply:"Who would pay for them?"
44202Were men again to fall, and women weep?
44202Were these the women and men to stand aloof and consider?
44202What amount do you consider necessary?"
44202What could be done?
44202What could it mean?
44202What could they_ do_?--of what_ use_ could they be?
44202What did this nation do during eighty agonizing and memorable days but to watch the effects of one bullet wound?
44202What have we in readiness to meet these emergencies save the good heart of our people and their impulsive, generous gifts?
44202What is the significance of the Red Cross?
44202What mischief have they been devising in secret?"
44202What more could such a woman wish?
44202What shall I say of it?
44202What should one do but to ask counsel of all within reach?
44202What subjects occupied my mind most when going to sleep?"
44202What was it expected to do or how to do it?
44202What was to become of the little waifs of the wind, rain and high tide?
44202What, then, was this conference, whose magic wand had, so to speak, electrified all nations?
44202When will the need for this help end?
44202Where could help come from?
44202Where shall we find something published about it?"
44202Where were the Spanish fleets?
44202Who instituted it?
44202Why is it not written up, and circulated among the people for general information?
44202Why to Smyrna, then to Alexandretta, points where nothing is the matter and no help needed?
44202Will he glance at the boats on the great western flood, At Pittsburg and Shiloh, did they faint at the blood?
44202Will history write us blameless?
44202Will it not be said of us that we completed the scheme of extermination commenced by Weyler?
44202Will not the world hold us accountable?
44202Will not this meet your wishes even better than recommended in your cablegram yesterday?
44202Will some soldier tell us of one he saw run?
44202Would it be asking too much for you to go to Havana to superintend the distribution of these stores under the law?
44202Would it be out of place for me to urge the good people who read this report to remember this when sending to the next field?
44202Would n''t peace societies be better?
44202and what would be the result when found and met?
44202and where were we to break that Cuban wall and let us in?
44202p. 515 happened[ to] it?
44202the list grows apace, as they come at the call: Did these women quail at the sight of a gun?
44202whar is de Colonel?
44202where did they not?
44202where is it?
41097''Is there one, even more than one, who thinks of Natawara as a coward?'' 41097 ''Know you not?''
41097''Where is Natawara?'' 41097 All night?"
41097An Indian for a partner, eh?
41097And I suppose you called the rest of us sleepy- heads for not being with you?
41097And why, young lady?
41097And you do n''t want your count to be in vain, do you?
41097Any other business into which you desire to inveigle me?
41097Are n''t they delicious?
41097Are n''t they long?
41097Are n''t we loaded though?
41097Are n''t we the sillies?
41097Are n''t you excited about Aunt Madge being married, Mary Lee?
41097Are we all ready for our ride?
41097Are we going to have our beach supper tonight?
41097But do n''t you find it awfully hard to give up your afternoons-- in fact, all your time, to work and study?
41097But how did the daughter get to be a Campfire Girl?
41097But whatever shall we read?
41097But wo n''t Mrs. Quinn need me here?
41097By the way,interrupted the doctor,"has Mary Lee ever thought of what she is going to be when she grows up?"
41097Can we turn the order in?
41097Can you tell us?
41097Could you come and see me in the morning? 41097 Did he come back?"
41097Did n''t Dr. Anderson tell me that you have had some experience in the handling of babies?
41097Did n''t you ever read''Tartarin of Tarascon,''by Alphonse Daudet?
41097Did you girls bring any matches?
41097Did you have them all the time?
41097Did you leave a letter for me?
41097Do n''t you feel like a freak?
41097Do you know that Jim Lee and Tom Marshall were here? 41097 Do you know, Dr. Anderson, the child has absolute faith that some day she and her relations, those that are still alive, will be reunited?"
41097Do you mean to say that the fish will cook like that?
41097Do you really want to do that?
41097Do you suppose they wandered off on one of these trails? 41097 Do you think we can make it before it''s pitch dark?"
41097Do you think we should wait and do our work for the Red Cross?
41097Do? 41097 Does he say that the French doctors have helped him any?"
41097Fortunate, you fortunate? 41097 Has Mr. Cameron bought any Liberty Bonds?
41097Have n''t you ever seen the word''escargots''on the menu cards?
41097Have you come to help, children?
41097Have you come to stay?
41097Have you decided that it is too hard work, my dear? 41097 Helped him any?"
41097How about using the tune of''The Bear Went Over the Mountain''?
41097How are the Campfire Girls, Aunt Madge? 41097 How can you tell which is which?"
41097How did you ever find it?
41097How long will it take to cook them that way?
41097How many bonds did Mr. Marshall tell you to buy, dad?
41097How many do you think I should buy?
41097How many?
41097How would you like to have a cup of sassafras tea?
41097I wonder if I can impose on your goodness a little more?
41097I wonder if he has any mail for you and me?
41097If each of us collected two dollars and fifty cents, that would mean three hundred dollars, would it not, Miss James?
41097Is Aunt Madge coming home?
41097Is n''t Bob brave to travel by himself on a sleeper? 41097 Is n''t Bob clever, to be able to do this?"
41097Is n''t it all wonderful?
41097Is n''t it fine?
41097Is n''t it great to be part of such a big undertaking? 41097 Is n''t it lovely the way the path trails and yet continues ever upward?"
41097Is n''t it perfect?
41097Is n''t she a perfect darling?
41097Is n''t this ideal?
41097Is the child any better?
41097It certainly seems strange to think of Aunt Madge as Mrs. Anderson, does n''t it?
41097It is money for the war, and because Germany is not a democratic nation the fight against it is called a fight for Liberty, is n''t it?
41097It is perfectly splendid, is n''t it?
41097It would be splendid if we could make a strike, would n''t it?
41097It''s a wonderful place, is n''t it?
41097Let''s get ready at once, shall we?
41097Listen,said Letty,"what''s that whistle?"
41097Must?
41097My, is n''t she a strict Campfire Guardian?
41097Now, is n''t this better?
41097Now, will you tell?
41097Oh, girls, where am I?
41097Oh, what is that?
41097Or, perhaps you would like to write to her yourself?
41097Shall I write and tell Mary Lee that you are here?
41097Shall we, Letty?
41097Shall we?
41097So we can all go?
41097Surely, you are counting on staying for supper, such as it is, I hope?
41097Swift Water, his first wife, felt the black rage of hate and envy-- and who could blame her? 41097 That early plunge surely gives one a great appetite, does n''t it?"
41097Then we can not sell you any? 41097 There''s a lesson in the story for today, is n''t there?"
41097They do?
41097Three and one- half per cent?
41097WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?
41097Was n''t his brother splendid?
41097Was n''t it a delightful trip?
41097Was n''t it the hardest French you ever read?
41097Was n''t that lovely?
41097We never really saw the Adirondacks before, did we?
41097We''ll call a meeting of the group tomorrow afternoon, shall we?
41097Well, Bob,asked the girl,"what are you going to do this fall?"
41097Well, there''s one thing we know-- we want Mary Lee with us, do n''t we girls?
41097What are you going to do with your share, Jim?
41097What can we do?
41097What do you hear of Jim Lee?
41097What is it, dear? 41097 What kind are they?"
41097What will you do in the meantime?
41097What will you wear?
41097When does Jim Lee join the army?
41097When does Mrs. Anderson come home, Mary Lee?
41097When shall we start?
41097Where are you going to live when you are married?
41097Where would you get the sassafras?
41097Which two do you mean?
41097Which two?
41097Who is afraid?
41097Who was he?
41097Whoever has to sit up and tend it all night? 41097 Whoever would eat them?"
41097Why not read it and see?
41097Why should he tell me to buy any bonds?
41097Why should you feel it to be your duty to sell them to me?
41097Will she, Mary Lee?
41097Will that do?
41097Will they let us do anything? 41097 Will you come over tonight, Ruth?"
41097Wo n''t Aunt Madge be pleased with our Red Cross work at the school?
41097Wo n''t it be heavenly?
41097Wo n''t we be glad to see her?
41097Wo n''t you tell us?
41097Wonder if she''ll be displeased at our group''s merging with the Red Cross work?
41097Would you like to come along?
41097Yes,said that young lady,"it does look as if we were just forcing ourselves upon you, does n''t it?"
41097You and your father are great friends now, are n''t you?
41097You did n''t say what the Indian''s name was, did you?
41097You do n''t?
41097You do?
41097You mean that you have set a mark which you must attain in order to allow yourselves to go?
41097You say you are having an investigation made, doctor?
41097_ Can_ we?
41097''Wherefore shall I kill?''
41097188 MARY LEE, THE RED CROSS GIRL MARY LEE The Red Cross Girl CHAPTER I SPRING AT THE FARM"From whom is the letter, Mary Lee?"
41097And that Jim Lee joined the army?"
41097And wherefore should they be the bearers of bad news?
41097And, Tom, what are you going to be when you grow up?"
41097Are you glad?"
41097But I had better start supper, if you will excuse me?"
41097But dear me, why talk about school and studies when we''re off on a''lark''?"
41097But where do you suppose Father Bird and Mother Bird are?
41097But who is the chief of the Wah- hi- tis?''
41097But you must not tell anyone about this nest, will you?
41097CHAPTER XXI"WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?"
41097Ca n''t you stay here until tomorrow and try it on?"
41097Can not Natawara make his own fights, answer insults himself?''
41097Come, we''ll both help set the table, shall we?"
41097Could I do more?
41097Could these both be sons of the same father?
41097Did n''t Ruth and Edith and Letty send any messages with you?
41097Did they tell you when they were coming out here?
41097Did we frighten them away?"
41097Do n''t you think so, mother?"
41097Do n''t you think so?"
41097Do you know, Mary Lee,"the boy continued,"both mother and father think just everything of you?
41097Do you think that is too much?"
41097Do?
41097Finally Ruth inquired:"How much do they expect us to collect?"
41097Forgotten did I say?
41097Have you heard the wonderful news that Bobbie and Mr. and Mrs. Cameron are coming home at last?
41097Have you?
41097He was a celebrated Frenchman, was n''t he?"
41097How much do you think we can pledge our group to collect?"
41097I suppose you will accept our invitation to go out in the automobile after supper, Mary Lee?
41097If anything happens to me, you will see that my share is turned over to her, will you?"
41097Is n''t it a lovely world?"
41097Is n''t it funny looking, as it crawls along, carrying its shell on its back?"
41097Is n''t it marvelous that Bobbie is cured and will be just like other boys?"
41097Is n''t it time for these young ladies to go to bed, mother?"
41097Is that satisfactory, Jim?"
41097Is that satisfactory?"
41097Is there anything else?"
41097It is like a regular miniature white clay pipe, is n''t it?"
41097It''s delightful-- and would n''t you call it recreation to be able to do the things our Red Cross Group is doing?
41097It''s hard to imagine, is n''t it?"
41097Just what would take the place of the excitement and planning of the last few weeks?
41097Lee?"
41097Lee?"
41097May I tell her, Mary Lee?"
41097Not even one?"
41097Of course we shall have to''hike''all the way over from the station, but wo n''t it be fun?
41097Remember our promise, do n''t you, for the week of June 18th?"
41097Ripling Sees it Too,''''The Baby and the Bachelor''?"
41097Shall I?"
41097Shall we?"
41097The bridegroom?
41097Tomorrow is Friday, so why not go this week?
41097Was it any wonder as Mrs. Quinn sat thinking over all these things that a tear or two trickled down her cheeks?
41097We simply ca n''t use anything smaller, can we?"
41097Were his eyes playing tricks with his wandering thoughts?
41097Were n''t we lucky to have Aunt Madge for our Guardian?"
41097Were n''t you, Mary Lee?"
41097What do they say?
41097What do you suppose she wants?"
41097What do you think of destroying all evidence of the fact that this mine exists and leaving here for a year or so?
41097What has happened?"
41097What made you think of that, when there are so many of your friends who would make you more than welcome?"
41097What was this miracle that brought the past back to him?
41097When you get back, Mary Lee,"he continued,"will you get Dr. Anderson''s consent?
41097Who said country life would not agree with our Mary Lee?"
41097Who says so?
41097Whom else shall we ask beside us three?"
41097Why is that, I wonder?"
41097Why worry over its color?"
41097Will Bob buy any?"
41097Will you do it for me?"
41097Will you please write my cousin?
41097Wo n''t it be fun when we can see the little bird''s eggs, and afterwards the little birdies themselves?
41097Wo n''t you both sit down?"
41097You will, wo n''t you, Mary Lee?"
41097You wo n''t have to work any longer at Dr. Payson''s, will you?"
41097You''ve heard me speak of him, have n''t you?"
41097[ Illustration:"HELLO, MARY LEE, HAVE YOU COME TO STAY?"]
41097said Letty,"instead of one like her?"
16567A good one?
16567A waiter in a restaurant?
16567A young girl, unprotected? 16567 Alone?
16567And does she still live at Charleroi?
16567And her mother''s name and address?
16567And how do you feel?
16567And now?
16567And then?
16567And what may they be?
16567And when they are gone?
16567And which side have you come to assist?
16567And why did n''t you let us know you were on the way from far- off Los Angeles?
16567And you think the enemy can not capture Dunkirk?
16567Are n''t they fighting now?
16567Are they really his children?
16567Are you fully resolved upon this course, Maud?
16567Are you hit?
16567Are you looking for a young lady-- a nurse?
16567Bed, when the Germans come?
16567Blacksmith? 16567 But do n''t they need the ship-- the_ Arabella_?"
16567But why did n''t you go home, to your Island of Sangoa?
16567But why examine us at all?
16567By the way, have you found a doctor?
16567Ca n''t you find us a driver?
16567Can I do anything more for you?
16567Can that be done, doctor?
16567Collins? 16567 Could Henderson get to Charleroi, do you imagine?"
16567Could n''t we start to- morrow for Arras, Uncle?
16567Could she have been a lady of rank, think you?
16567Cowardice? 16567 Did n''t the general want you, then?"
16567Did she find you in Dunkirk?
16567Did you not tell us, when first we met you, that you were heart- broken over the separation from your wife and children?
16567Do n''t you know?
16567Do n''t you suppose Patsy could start for home pretty soon?
16567Do you consider this a wild goose chase, Doctor?
16567Do you mean that we are prisoners?
16567Do you suppose a high- born young lady would marry a common soldier? 16567 Does he speak English or French?"
16567Does it hurt?
16567Does n''t our sacred mission protect us from such annoying details?
16567English, or French?
16567For Charleroi?
16567German?
16567Good morning, my dear,and then, with a trace of anxiety in her tone:"What is the news, Uncle John?"
16567Have you her photograph?
16567Have you money to pay the rent and to provide food and clothing?
16567Have you so much money?
16567He will live, then, you think?
16567He will live?
16567How about Antwerp?
16567How about a chauffeur?
16567How about the Belgian we picked up on the road?
16567How did it happen, Maurie?
16567How did you make the mistake?
16567How far away do you think the Germans are?
16567How long are we liable to be detained?
16567How long will it take us to reach Calais?
16567How many husbands has Clarette?
16567How old were you then?
16567How on earth can we manage to cross the lines?
16567If you''re in such a blamed hurry to go fishing, why do n''t you get rid of me now?
16567In what way?
16567Indeed?
16567Is Maurie within?
16567Is her husband an officer?
16567Is it a charge, do you think?
16567Is it too late to go in chase of the launch?
16567Is n''t honesty appreciated here?
16567Is n''t there some young fellow with these requirements?
16567Is n''t this escape liable to be rather embarrassing to us, Uncle John?
16567Is n''t this the day Maud Stanton is due to arrive?
16567Is there not much land in Belgium?
16567Is this the way to retain the friendship of New Yorkers?
16567It''s a tremendous undertaking, and-- what can one girl do in the midst of all those horrors?
16567Jones?
16567M- m,purred Uncle John;"where does she live, this young wife?"
16567Monsieur is not here long?
16567Must we promise that?
16567Name?
16567No?
16567Nothing, eh? 16567 Oh, Ajo, is n''t this war terrible?"
16567Oh, is that his name?
16567Oh, yes, some of the big guns are spitting, but what is that? 16567 Oh,"said Patsy, finding him there when she came up from breakfast,"where is Clarette?"
16567Oh; do you really think so?
16567Oh; do you want a full confession? 16567 On what business?"
16567Otto Elbl of Munich?
16567Really?
16567Sangoa?
16567Shall I let him talk?
16567Shall I show them up, Miss?
16567Shall we put him inside?
16567So we''re free?
16567So you are better?
16567Still on earth?
16567Suppose we move over to one of those, a little nearer the soldiers?
16567Tell me; how is he? 16567 That is n''t our affair, is it?
16567That rascal, Maurie--"Oh, was Maurie in it?
16567The Red Cross?
16567The aeroplane? 16567 The king?"
16567Then I''m to go along?
16567Then you consider me beautiful, Uncle John?
16567Then you will not let us have Maurie?
16567There is no hope, then?
16567To cross the ocean?
16567To- morrow? 16567 Want me?
16567Was n''t the deck patrolled?
16567Well, sir?
16567Well, sir?
16567Well, what happened?
16567Well-- that''s true,sighed the little millionaire,"but what are we going to do about it?"
16567Well?
16567Well?
16567What can you expect, without a formal introduction?
16567What do you think that fool did?
16567What do you think, General?
16567What does Uncle John say?
16567What does she look like?
16567What does she say?
16567What does this mean?
16567What is it, von Holtz?
16567What is that?
16567What is your name, my good man?
16567What is your name?
16567What place is north of us?
16567What was it, Captain?
16567What was it, then?
16567What''s it?
16567What''s that, Collins?... 16567 What''s up?"
16567What''s wrong?
16567Whatever have you been doing with yourself since then?
16567When did you get to town?
16567When?
16567Where are the Germans?
16567Where are you going?
16567Where are you going?
16567Where can I find him?
16567Where did it strike you? 16567 Where is the German, Lieutenant Elbl?"
16567Where will you go?
16567Where''s Elbl?
16567Where''s the doctor?
16567Which gentleman is Mr. John Merrick?
16567Which launch?
16567Who dressed your wounds?
16567Who else may claim them, monsieur?
16567Who is Gys?
16567Who is he?
16567Who promised you?
16567Who will run the launch?
16567Why did n''t he get out of the way?
16567Why did n''t you tell us before?
16567Why do n''t you avoid the-- the danger line?
16567Why do n''t you go along?
16567Why impossible?
16567Why not yourself, Lieutenant? 16567 Why not?"
16567Why not?
16567Why should he, sir? 16567 Why?"
16567Why?
16567Will he suffer much pain, while it is getting well?
16567Will that dreadful Colonel Grau go, too?
16567Will you keep him here much longer?
16567Would you like to see him?
16567You are Belgian?
16567You came to get me because you thought he would die?
16567You say you had land at Ghent?
16567You will be responsible for his person? 16567 You?
16567Your pardon,said he,"but-- are the wounded all cared for?"
16567Your sweetheart?
16567_ You_, Beth?
16567A bullet, mademoiselle?"
16567A driver?
16567Am I not here, driving your ambulance and going boldly among the officers?
16567And have you been married long?"
16567And wounded-- still an invalid?"
16567Are you his nurse?"
16567As a race the English hate us, I''m positive, and I wonder why?"
16567But ca n''t you see, my dear, that we''re not able to do everything for those poor wounded soldiers?
16567But do n''t you suppose they would let her come to see her dying husband?"
16567But do those who send them into danger ever get hurt?
16567But if you live in Ghent, why are you in Dunkirk?"
16567But shall we do that, and put poor Maurie in peril of being overtaken?"
16567But-- how could I help it when she looked at me that way?"
16567By the way, how is Gys behaving now?
16567CHAPTER IX COURAGE, OR PHILOSOPHY?
16567Civil, or military?"
16567Could the American mamselle remember what the girl''s first name was?
16567Denton?"
16567Denton?"
16567Did I understand that your captain will guarantee the German''s safety?"
16567Do n''t you, Doctor Gys?"
16567Do you know that disease will kill as many of those soldiers as bullets?"
16567Do you know why?"
16567Do you remember that any of your young girls were married about five months ago?"
16567Do you understand a car?"
16567Do you wonder I hesitate to meet strangers?"
16567Have a cup of tea, Maurie?"
16567Have we decided, then, to return to America?"
16567Have you any idea-- Eh?
16567Have you heard the latest news?
16567Have you noticed how people scatter at the sound of our gong?"
16567He is n''t interested in propositions?
16567He wo n''t come?...
16567How do you explain that?"
16567How do you like it?"
16567How many did you bring?"
16567I knew when it hit me, but I also knew I could move my arm, so what did it matter?
16567I wonder who they are?"
16567I''ve a fine proposition for him.... Eh?
16567If it is the end, what matter whether it is good or bad?"
16567Is he still shaking with fear?"
16567Is it not so?"
16567Is n''t it a terrible affliction?"
16567Is that satisfactory?"
16567John Merrick, the retired millionaire?
16567May I venture to ask you for an advance of a couple of hundred for a few weeks?
16567Merrick?"
16567Number 121 Friedrichstrasse?"
16567Otherwise--""Otherwise?"
16567Patsy asked the boy:"Can you lead us to the man who gave you this paper?"
16567Patsy faced the woman resolutely and said in French:"Why did you wish to get to Dunkirk?"
16567Perhaps you will tell me who I am?"
16567Presently the countess asked in her soft, even voice:"Will he be alive when we get there?"
16567Shall we guarantee that your cousin will not try to escape?"
16567She ran up to him and asked:"Are you hurt?"
16567She said to Gys that evening, when they met on deck,"Would n''t it be wise for you to wear a mask in the operating room?"
16567Sitting with you now?
16567The Germans capture Dunkirk?
16567Then the Germans are on us?"
16567Von Holtz admitted a slim, good- looking young Belgian who grasped his hand and said eagerly in French:"You sent for me?"
16567Was it a bullet-- or what?"
16567Was it the council, do you think, Lieutenant?"
16567We strut and talk big; we call the politicians sharks, the soldiers fools; but does it do any good?
16567What do you say, Captain Carg?
16567What do you think of that?"
16567What do you think?
16567What do you think?
16567What do you think?"
16567What does it matter, Uncle?
16567What in thunder_ is_ he interested in?...
16567What is a foot, to a man like him?
16567What is the despair of one poor Walloon to you?"
16567When can we start, Ajo?"
16567Where did you get them?"
16567Where is it?"
16567Where is that Belgian-- Rondel?"
16567Where''s Beth?"
16567Who will go with me?"
16567Why not?...
16567Why should they be?"
16567Will he get well?"
16567Will the Germans capture Dunkirk?"
16567Will you go with me?"
16567Will you leave this room peaceably, or shall I order you under arrest?"
16567Would it be-- safe?"
16567You are on detached duty, I believe?"
16567You speak their language, I believe?"
16567You will guarantee that he will not escape?"
16567he demanded;"and is a rich man confined to one home?
16567pleaded Uncle John, plaintively,"why do you insist upon flavoring our breakfast with these horrors?
16567were you born here, Patsy?
16567what does it mean?"
16567why should we care?
59536''The queen will fight?'' 59536 A little more bacon, I guess, now, Mr. Bob?
59536All good little war workers, are n''t you?
59536And Marian got up too? 59536 And how do you feel about that?"
59536And the stork,--what did he say?
59536And went to the aviation field?
59536And where did it all happen, Elizabeth?
59536Are any of the others wounded?
59536Are n''t you coming out a little while, Lucy? 59536 Are n''t you rushing things a little?"
59536Are you going to New York, Father?
59536Are you looking for me, daughter?
59536Are you sure it does n''t hurt now?
59536Are you wondering what on earth got me up at this hour?
59536But Marian-- you took her too?
59536But are you the only officer imprisoned here?
59536But can he leave here?
59536But do you think he''ll go back to fight? 59536 But how about the Boches?
59536But there''s not much harm in watching them fly, do you think, Lucy? 59536 But we''ll have something to eat first, sha n''t we?
59536But what did the doctor say who saw the bandage?
59536But what was wrong with your hand?
59536But what were you going to say?
59536But what will you do, Cousin Henry? 59536 But what''s the matter with her pulse, Miss Thomas?"
59536But, Lucy,she asked with a new wonder,"why are n''t you sure?
59536Ca n''t I do anything? 59536 Can you tell us where we are going?"
59536Captain Bertrand-- do you think he is any better?
59536Come to the Red Cross to- morrow morning, Lucy? 59536 Could I go over there and see it, do you think?"
59536Did I, Elizabeth?
59536Did Lucy tell you what we think, Marian?
59536Did Miss Lucy say they''d be right down?
59536Did he?
59536Did they come?
59536Do Father and Mother know?
59536Do n''t I know it?
59536Do n''t I, though? 59536 Do n''t feel well, Lieutenant?"
59536Do n''t you find it good?
59536Do n''t you like shepherd''s pie?
59536Do n''t you wish you could thank that dear old Elizabeth?
59536Do you think Bob will go back to the war?
59536Does he hear from him? 59536 Does n''t he?"
59536Does n''t sound very promising to you, does it? 59536 Drink all this now, ca n''t you?
59536Elizabeth and Karl?
59536Good gracious, did she catch fire?
59536Good- bye?
59536Has your father sent you any more new ones?
59536Have I seen that one? 59536 Have n''t you ever seen her, Lucy?
59536Have you any dressings-- bandages-- I could use for the wounded prisoners?
59536Have you any idea where they are now?
59536Have you seen the new forts beyond the village?
59536He may have some milk right on the table by my plate, may n''t he, Lucy?
59536He''s safe there, Marie, do n''t you think so? 59536 Here''s the aviation field-- see it?
59536How about me?
59536How are you, Elizabeth? 59536 How can any one say, Dad, that this war has n''t the chances for heroism that other wars had?
59536How did you get away?
59536How do you mean?
59536How far have you gone, Marian?
59536How long have you been here, Captain?
59536How long was he in the war?
59536How nearly through are you, Lucy? 59536 How soon do we stop?"
59536How soon do you want it?
59536I fasten your dress, Miss Lucy, shall I?
59536I frightened you, I fear?
59536I guess I''d better make a good infantryman first,--is that it?
59536I guess we wo n''t go out on the sea- wall to- day, said Lucy;unless you especially wish to?"
59536I have seen a spy from the American army across there with the French, and whom do you think it was? 59536 I know all about it, so I may hear what you say to them, may n''t I?"
59536I think she''ll like it here, do n''t you, Julia?
59536I''ll promise not to go again without telling you, so wo n''t you forgive me this time?
59536I''m pretty worthless, are n''t I?
59536Is Elizabeth very sick, Lucy?
59536Is Father in his office?
59536Is every one out? 59536 Is it to Germany?"
59536Is it you, Elizabeth?
59536Is it you, Karl, home so early?
59536Is n''t he a cunning little fellow, Marian?
59536Is n''t it cold?
59536Is n''t it lots nicer since Bob made the Germans let him go?
59536Is n''t she cruel?
59536Is n''t the water pretty, William?
59536Is she nice? 59536 Is your cousin going to stay with you all summer?"
59536It should be around eighty, should n''t it?
59536It_ is_ pretty, is n''t it?
59536Karl make any more of those fluffy muffins now, Elizabeth?
59536Karl-- here? 59536 Lucy, what do you think?
59536Marian, do you remember saying that she and Karl were dangerous to have around? 59536 May I ask your name and where you were taken?"
59536May I take these home to finish, Mrs. Houston? 59536 Might I ask your name?"
59536Mr. Harding,she burst out,"do you,--you do n''t think I am a chatterbox,--I mean that I tell everything I know,--do you?"
59536Mr. Harding,she faltered,"have n''t you time to tell us good- bye?"
59536Must I treat you roughly to get it? 59536 Now the frog comes hopping in, does n''t he?"
59536Oh, Bob, was n''t it great?
59536Oh, Cousin Henry-- do you m- mean it?
59536Oh, I''m so glad, Marian,cried Lucy warmly,"but I do n''t want you to go away a bit-- will you have to?"
59536Oh, Julia, how can you do them so fast? 59536 Oh, Mr. Bob, why did you come here?
59536Oh, do n''t you suppose Captain Jourdin would come to see us if you asked him?
59536Oh, does her tooth ache again? 59536 Oh, is n''t this nice?"
59536Oh, let''s have him, let''s keep him,--mayn''t we, Lucy?
59536Oh, poor little thing,--she''s still ill, then?
59536Oh, then, ca n''t you play tennis this afternoon, either?
59536Oh, what, Mother? 59536 Oh, who is it?
59536Really?
59536Say, is n''t that fine? 59536 Shall I light the candles?"
59536She took Marian along, you say? 59536 She wants to join, does n''t she?"
59536Something hard about a father? 59536 Supposing that I knew something to tell, and the orders were secret-- would you expect me to?"
59536Take her with me, Bob, will you? 59536 Tell me, what is it?"
59536The Lieutenant expects to see service on the other side very shortly?
59536Then why does n''t he get this poor fellow moved? 59536 There was n''t any danger, anyway, was there, Dad?
59536There''s a meadow just to the left,he said at last,"north of the village-- see it?
59536They are n''t going to separate us, Benton?
59536Think they have softened his heart, Bob,--is that the idea?
59536Undo it, Cousin Sally, wo n''t you? 59536 Want chocolate in yours?"
59536Was he ever taken prisoner?
59536Was n''t it?
59536We''ll sit down in your room here and have a story, shall we?
59536We''ll walk over with you,--shall we, Marian? 59536 Well, do n''t go up again just now, Bob, will you?
59536Well, have you left him anything? 59536 Well, son, how do you feel about it?"
59536Well, what have you guessed?
59536Well, what is it this morning, daughter?
59536Were you at the aviation field again this afternoon?
59536Were you in the one that flew over the harbor an hour ago?
59536What are you going to do, Mother?
59536What did you hear? 59536 What do you think?"
59536What else would I do?
59536What happened to your hand?
59536What is her temperature, Miss Gordon?
59536What is it?
59536What is the matter there?
59536What on earth happened? 59536 What shall I tell?"
59536What time shall we reach our destination?
59536What''s got into that child, anyway?
59536What''s the matter? 59536 What''s this?"
59536What, can you really feel ill because you think you''re going to?
59536What? 59536 When are they coming?
59536When may I see you again, Captain? 59536 Where are you going?"
59536Where did you hear it, anyway?
59536Where is my blanket?
59536Where is the doctor?
59536Where you going, Lucy?
59536Where''s Bob?
59536Where?
59536Who are these for?
59536Whom do you think I have seen?
59536Why do n''t you get out and stretch your legs? 59536 Why do n''t you try a little?"
59536Why does n''t every one live in the South, I wonder? 59536 Why not, Miss?
59536Why, Lucy?
59536Why, what in the world is it?
59536Why, what''s happened to your thumb, Bob?
59536Why, you''ve always had a governess, Marian, have n''t you?
59536Will you button my dress for me, Lucy? 59536 Will you go now,--this second?"
59536Will you stay here for a while and attend to the customers while I do my figuring? 59536 Will you tell me how far they go?
59536Will you wait here until I bring the clothes, or will you come with me to my house?
59536Will you? 59536 William-- why do you always get so tied up with everything?
59536Wo n''t they let us go anywhere else?
59536Wo n''t you please send back one when you get over there?
59536Wo n''t you tell some of the things he''s done?
59536Would n''t it be queer to have them come back to you from nobody knows where?
59536Would n''t that be great? 59536 Would you have me betray the Fatherland?"
59536Yes, he sent word we were to expect them on the noon boat, and, oh, Mother, what do you suppose Marian will be like?
59536Yes, is n''t it?
59536Yes, is n''t she nice?
59536You admit having come down by accident with Captain Benton this morning?
59536You are ill, Captain? 59536 You do n''t know just where he is, do you, Lucy?"
59536You have heard nothing of it?
59536You have n''t had any letters from home, Sergeant? 59536 You know what you''ll get if you are caught-- out of uniform?"
59536You mean we may walk in that little space in front at this time?
59536You mean you are ill?
59536You say when you saw him at the outskirts of the village he was dressed in peasant''s clothes, Müller?
59536You tell your mother, will you?
59536You wo n''t tell me, will you?
59536You''ll write-- I mean often, every day, wo n''t you?
59536Your blanket?
59536Your mother not back yet from town, Miss Lucy?
59536Your name''s Happy, do you hear?
59536_ Anglais?_he asked, his voice quavering with astonishment, and his eyes wandering all over Bob as though puzzled beyond words at his presence.
59536*****[ Illustration:"IS THE TWENTY- EIGHTH GOING OVER THIS WEEK?"]
59536A month is n''t so awfully long, is it?
59536A prisoner?"
59536Almost a smile hovered over her lips, and at sight of it Lucy sprang forward, crying,"What is it, Mother?
59536And Captain Brent is here too, is n''t he?
59536And a poached egg?"
59536And after Marian''s almost fainting yesterday, even though she did act so bully afterward, what do you think about her joining?
59536And has n''t your father been rushed to death, lately, without giving any particular reason?"
59536And now was the home regiment to follow?
59536And while the little princess look up after him she see the sky through the chimney- top----""And the house was all gone, was n''t it?"
59536Andrews?"
59536Any quinine?
59536Are n''t these the silliest sentences?"
59536Are n''t you coming out to parade?"
59536Are you here?"
59536Are you quite sure about that reward?"
59536Are you sure she''s none the worse for it?"
59536Are you worse?"
59536At sight of him he settled back again, inquiring with mild mockery,"Well, did you persuade the Germans to confide anything to you?
59536Bob Gordon?"
59536Bob gave him no time to voice his displeasure, but on entering the room said in such German as he could muster:"Where is the doctor?
59536But do n''t you still miss the old Twenty- Eighth?
59536But go on, Mother, wo n''t you?"
59536But it''s enough to cheer up a little on-- isn''t it, Lucy?"
59536CAPTAIN LUCY 322 Illustrations PAGE"IS THE TWENTY- EIGHTH GOING OVER THIS WEEK?"
59536Ca n''t he see that he''s dying on his hands?
59536Ca n''t we, Marian?"
59536Ca n''t you come in?"
59536Can he get letters?"
59536Can you think of a place?"
59536Captain Bertrand is very ill. Why have n''t you had him taken away?"
59536Come on, so we can write and tell him how much you''ve done-- won''t you?"
59536Come with me?"
59536Could there be better proof than this of our loyalty?"
59536Could they not see me?"
59536Could you-- will you lend me those clothes you wear while I go quickly into the village and return?
59536Did Father hear from them?"
59536Did he do wonderful things first, Captain Brent?
59536Did the dentist hurt much?"
59536Did you contrive long for your escape?"
59536Did you expect it?"
59536Did you expect to get away if nobody appeared to be in sight?"
59536Do come up and see Elizabeth when you get your things off, wo n''t you?"
59536Do n''t we owe them anything, Karl, that you are so ready to harm them?"
59536Do n''t you know what she''s like?"
59536Do n''t you think she has grown to be a very pleasant little guest?"
59536Do n''t you think they could use him for something in the spy line?"
59536Do you know Lucy and Marian went down to the dock to see them off?
59536Do you like her?"
59536Do you mind calling up Julia and Mr. Lewis, Marian, and telling them we ca n''t play with them this afternoon?"
59536Do you remember the day long ago when he fell off his horse, how you picked him up and carried him in the house?
59536Does he mean Mexico?"
59536Does she look as if I had?"
59536Fly a little lower, ca n''t you?"
59536Have you any request to make?"
59536Have you forgotten that?"
59536Have you forgotten the long, happy years we spent there?
59536Have you told any one?"
59536He got up, nodding shortly in acknowledgment, but the only reply he vouchsafed was the inquiry, in English,"You some money perhaps have?"
59536He rose a moment later to take leave, and Captain Brent, lingering a few moments after him, said,"Do you know what he''s hoping for?
59536He said huskily to the doctor,"You''ll do your best for him, wo n''t you, Herr Doctor?"
59536He seems very ill. Is there nothing that can be done for him?
59536He seized the speaking tube and shouted,"What''s the matter?"
59536He told the Frenchman where he came from and the length of his service, finally asking,"Can you give me any idea of where we are, Captain?"
59536He wanted to ask,"Who are you?"
59536He''d come if you asked him, would n''t he, Captain Brent?"
59536How about it?"
59536How do you feel about Karl living here since we are at war?
59536How long would the war last?
59536How would you like to be sent into Germany as a factory hand?"
59536Hurry up now, though, wo n''t you, Bob, and put on your uniform?"
59536I do n''t believe she will, anyway-- why should she?
59536I hate seeing people go, do n''t you?"
59536I never said so, anyway, so why the row with me?"
59536I wonder what I was dreaming of?"
59536I''ll ask Father to tell me,--wouldn''t any secret be safe with us?
59536I''m sure you want to do everything you can to get well soon, do n''t you?"
59536In the village-- in the fellow''s clothes?"
59536Inside his own door he found Bob coming down- stairs and accosted him with,"Well, any news for you, Bob?"
59536Is it Bob?"
59536Is it a secret to every one outside of the regiment?"
59536Is she hurt?"
59536It is a little better, yes?
59536It was closed, but yielded to his touch, and saying softly,"May I come in, Captain?"
59536It''s not quite so cold to- day, do you think so, Lucy?"
59536It''s on the new land beyond the Infantry Quarters, is n''t it, Lucy?"
59536Karl frowned, staring at her with hard eyes, but she faltered,"You wo n''t give him up, Karl?
59536Lucy, is it you?"
59536Major Gordon stopped lighting his pipe to ask in surprise,"What, have you heard it already?"
59536Marian looked doubtful and asked,"How far is it?"
59536May I come and see you?"
59536May I sit down on the little brother''s sled?"
59536Nothing for me?"
59536Of course, there''s nothing like safety first, but who is there on this post to be afraid of?
59536Our first- aid class begins to- day-- you have n''t forgotten it?
59536Outside, somewhere-- what was happening, anyway?
59536Shall I proceed?"
59536She laughed at the delight in his face as she said:"You''re surprised, are n''t you, Father, to see me so fat and strong?
59536Sort of like to join the army yourself, would n''t you?"
59536Suppose you could do anything to keep me from losing the nail, Elizabeth?
59536The three girls walked home together as far as the Gordons''and Julia said, as they discussed the morning''s work:"Is n''t she a nice, jolly person?
59536The words of an old song came into his mind:"Do they miss me at home, do they miss me, When the shadows darkly fall?"
59536Then as the shock of her recognition of him outweighed his curiosity he asked, bewildered,"Who knows I am here?
59536Then before Mr. Harding could answer she persisted,"Is the Twenty- Eighth going over this week?
59536Want to come, William?"
59536Was he ever taken prisoner?"
59536Was this Bob, who had never been able to move quickly enough?
59536We''re going out, are n''t we?"
59536Well, did they let you fly?"
59536What a slacker you are, anyway-- can''t you grin and bear it, as other fellows do?"
59536What are you standing there for?"
59536What can I do?"
59536What do you say to my inviting them all to our house afterward, to play games and have ice- cream?
59536What do you think of it, Marian?"
59536What do you think?
59536What good would it do them to know that he was lost?
59536What is it?
59536What on earth for?
59536What put that idea into your head?"
59536What should I have done without you?"
59536What time do you report?"
59536What time is it?
59536What would you say?"
59536What''s a day or two, anyway?
59536What''s his name?"
59536What''s the kodak for?"
59536What''s the matter?"
59536What''s the use in having cold ears and a frozen face, and being nearly blown off your feet?
59536What_ can_ you do, if the Germans do n''t want to let him go?"
59536When can he come here?"
59536When did you get back?"
59536When the opportunity came she demanded, breathlessly,"Was he badly wounded?
59536Where did you get him?"
59536Where do we go from here?''
59536Where is it?
59536Where is your obedience?"
59536Where was the push made?"
59536Where would Bob be, anyway, a year from now, if the war still went on?
59536Why would n''t you tell me?"
59536Will you come, Marian?"
59536Will you come, Marian?"
59536William seemed quite willing to help her get it, for he asked:"Do you mind pulling Happy, too, Lucy?
59536Wo n''t you get up, Lucy, so we can take him for a walk around the post before school?
59536Wo n''t you tell me?"
59536Wo n''t you?"
59536Would you like that?"
59536Would you think so if I learned what we want to know about the block- houses before it''s dark enough to start?
59536You are n''t any of you too old to like Blind Man''s Buff and Stage- Coach and Winks, are you?"
59536You remember?"
59536You will believe me?"
59536Your father is an officer on the post?"
59536_ Zwei_ Bob knew, but two what?
59536and you went down in the night?"
8137''Ice Carnival''?
8137''Who''s dead?'' 8137 Academic, or moral?"
8137All ready? 8137 And I wish to know,"Laura added haughtily,"how he dares intimate that I am not''a good looker''?"
8137And are you not yet assured?
8137And did you boys get that man who ran the poor fellow down on Market Street last night?
8137And his name''Peyton''?
8137And his suit? 8137 And how about me?
8137And is he paying Hester back by shouldering something for her?
8137And much gladder that she was right on the job here when the horse came along, are n''t you, Lil?
8137And not a thing about him to identify him?
8137And so ruin the whole play?
8137And then what?
8137And this is Miss Morse, is n''t it? 8137 And what became of the other man?"
8137And what do we deserve?
8137And where did you beau Janet from?
8137And who are you, to tell me when I''m wrong?
8137And without chains?
8137And you shot them over there on Cavern Island?
8137Are n''t you a clever lad?
8137Are you boys trying to defend the guilty person?
8137Are you going home, Miss Steele?
8137Are you sure he is?
8137Aw----"Suppose that man at the hospital dies?
8137Because I''ve been to the hospital to find out He''s got a broken leg and a broken head----"Is he conscious yet?
8137But about Margit Salgo?
8137But did n''t Short and Long have suspicions?
8137But did you hear the address she gave? 8137 But do you think old Gee Gee would say that she was wrong, and beg their pardon?"
8137But have n''t you examined it?
8137But have they learned nothing about him?
8137But he does n''t know who he is?
8137But suppose poor Chet has to lose fifty dollars?
8137But tell us how much Hessie has been set back?
8137But the car?
8137But what happened then?
8137But what''s the big idea, as Chet himself would say?
8137But what''s the matter here, Laura?
8137But where is her friend, Miss Grimes?
8137But who ever heard of such a thing?
8137But who is he, do you suppose?
8137But who was he?
8137But who will take Grimes''place?
8137But you looked at her?
8137Ca n''t Margit play?
8137Ca n''t you see?
8137Call me a story- teller, do you?
8137Can it be Margit Salgo?
8137Can it be possible that Purt Sweet would do such an awful thing and not really betray himself before this?
8137Can it be possible that Purt is shielding Hester in this matter?
8137Can you?
8137Chains on his wheels, Billy?
8137Coming your way?
8137Did he? 8137 Did n''t he have any papers about him that explain those points?"
8137Did you get a good look at that car?
8137Did you get any cottontails?
8137Did you have him arrested?
8137Did you hear the latest about Old Dimple?
8137Did you turn that horse?
8137Do n''t you always have sich when you girls go in for acting?
8137Do n''t you two girls remember the Saturday night that man was hurt on Market Street?
8137Do you know that the party was held the very Saturday night the man was hurt?
8137Do you know who this is?
8137Do you know, Miss Belding, what the complete delight of wealth is? 8137 Do you mean he has lost his mind?"
8137Do you mean,asked Laura,"what makes him act so to Purt?"
8137Do you remember what night that party was held, Lily?
8137Do you say I-- I have_ cheated? 8137 Do you see, now?"
8137Do you suppose I would tell old Gee Gee that it was my fault?
8137Do you suppose she will be able to help us? 8137 Do you suppose so?"
8137Do-- do you suppose we might see him?
8137Does he know he has so much money?
8137Does he say he is?
8137Does n''t he?
8137Does n''t she always do something to queer us if she can?
8137From what?
8137Got it all locked up, Laura?
8137Got your nonskid- chains on, Purt?
8137Has he found out about that bank- note yet?
8137Has that fault cropped up lately, my dear?
8137Have you finished school, Miss Steele?
8137Have you learned your part yet?
8137Have you lost your tongue?
8137Have you no answer?
8137Have you no idea who it can be? 8137 Have you seen the ice, Lance?"
8137Have you young ladies no higher desire than to make the rabble laugh?
8137He''s one of us fellows, is n''t he?
8137Hester Grimes?
8137Hester Grimes?
8137How about his hat?
8137How can we tell?
8137How dare you, Dorothy Lockwood?
8137How do you know?
8137How goes the battle, Laura?
8137How is your mother, dear?
8137How was he to know that some of the investments poor father made would turn out badly, and that our income would be reduced to a mere pittance? 8137 How was that?"
8137How was the funeral?
8137Huh?
8137I am quite sure we have taken in no counterfeits-- eh, Chet?
8137I am wondering,said Mother Wit,"if we have always been fair to Prettyman Sweet?
8137I guess this Sweet boy they tell about is a friend of yours, son?
8137I presume, Miss Morse, you think I can not puzzle you?
8137I want to know how Lance dares trespass upon Bobby''s domain of limericks?
8137I wonder if Miss Carrington really sleeps at night?
8137I wonder if we all are as well prepared?
8137I wonder why?
8137I wonder,he said,"if that man came from Osage, Ohio?"
8137I wonder,said Laura,"if we do n''t expect too much of the teachers?"
8137I would like to know why not?
8137I''d like to know who we are to blame, then?
8137I-- I thought if you''d make Chet pay only half of the fifty dollars, that perhaps you lost----"Well?
8137If Hester plays that part, what are they going to do with her hands and feet?
8137If we think we know anything, I ca n''t tell you,Chet declared"Billy?
8137Indeed?
8137Is father at home, Laura?
8137Is he dead?
8137Is he scared to tell the truth?
8137Is it a professional Mr. Mann has engaged?
8137Is it? 8137 Is n''t English the funny language?"
8137Is n''t it just fine?
8137Is n''t it pretty? 8137 Is n''t she splendid?"
8137Is n''t that just like Gee Gee?
8137Is she such a very strict disciplinarian?
8137Is that so?
8137Is that the girl who gave first- aid to the man on Market Street Saturday night?
8137Is that your name?
8137Is the man a criminal, do you think?
8137It almost proves he is a stranger in town, does it not?
8137Julius Caesar? 8137 Let''s see the bunnies?"
8137Looks fishy, does n''t it?
8137Lost his identity?
8137Not Hester?
8137Now what has he done?
8137On the rear wheels? 8137 Out of the carnival?"
8137Purt got it noised abroad that he was going to give a present to every fellow in his class-- didn''t he, Short?
8137See? 8137 Shall I go along with you and see what she says?"
8137She does seem interested in him, does n''t she?
8137She never_ did_?
8137Should I copy Pretty Sweet''s strut?
8137Should n''t she be, Mr. Mann? 8137 So soon?"
8137So you are the brave boy I''ve heard about, are you?
8137Some little queen, is n''t she?
8137Suppose the cops arrest him?
8137Suppose we agree not to annoy her any more than we can help for the rest of the school year?
8137Take it from me,said Bobby gruffly,"she''s just the meanest--""Margit?"
8137The bank- note?
8137The one the police say Purt ran down with his car?
8137Then did you really find some trace of the car?
8137Then my rhyme is a true bill?
8137Then there is something in it?
8137Then why does n''t he tell where he was at the time?
8137Then why wo n''t Purt tell where he was?
8137Then you do n''t believe Purt did it?
8137Then you think I may relieve Chet''s mind?
8137There''s the nine- ten express west"Who----What do you mean, young one?
8137They will, of course,"And what will you boys tell them?
8137This poor man''s money does n''t help him much, does it? 8137 To them, I suppose,"said Chet"But why do n''t you ask Miss Steele to join you girls in the play you are getting up?"
8137Want to freeze us all?
8137Well, what are suspicions?
8137Well, what do you know about that?
8137Well, what is it?
8137Well, why not?
8137Well?
8137Were you not looking at Dorothy, Laura?
8137Were you there to see that poor man?
8137Were you there, too, to inquire about him?
8137What about''poor me''?
8137What are you going to throw in, Purt? 8137 What became of the other villain?"
8137What can I possibly do for you?
8137What can Lil mean?
8137What did I tell you?
8137What did I tell you?
8137What did you say to Lil, Clara?
8137What did you send the poor fish, Short?
8137What do they mean?
8137What do you know about it?
8137What do you know about that? 8137 What do you know about that?"
8137What do you mean? 8137 What do you mean?
8137What do you mean?
8137What do you mean?
8137What do you mean?
8137What do you mean?
8137What do you mean?
8137What do you mean?
8137What do you mean?
8137What do you suppose Miss Carrington has done?
8137What do you think has happened?
8137What do you think of the Steeles-- and all?
8137What do you think, girls?
8137What does it matter? 8137 What for?"
8137What for?
8137What has Billy really got against Purt Sweet?
8137What has gone wrong? 8137 What has happened to her now?"
8137What has that to do with Purt Sweet?
8137What have you there?
8137What is Gee Gee''s latest?
8137What is it now?
8137What is it? 8137 What is that you say, Laura Belding?"
8137What is that?
8137What is the difference?
8137What is the matter with him? 8137 What is the matter with that bank- note?
8137What is the matter, Mother Wit?
8137What is the trouble between them?
8137What kind of hardware are you trying to hang on me, Mother Wit?
8137What luck, old top?
8137What man? 8137 What of it?
8137What sort of fox- and- goose chase did Short and Long take you and Lance away on?
8137What then?
8137What then?
8137What wo n''t Laura Belding think of next?
8137What would you like to have us play?
8137What''s gone wrong, Laura?
8137What''s that, Miss Smarty?
8137What''s that?
8137What''s that?
8137What''s the matter with you, Short?
8137What-- what do you mean, Miss Carrington?
8137What----Just what do you mean?
8137What? 8137 What?"
8137What?
8137Where does the courage come in?
8137Where does the disgrace come in,pleaded poor Purt,"when I have n''t really done anything?"
8137Where were you then?
8137Who do you mean, Pa, by''the unfortunate''?
8137Who ever heard of such a thing as a banknote being printed wrong unless it was a counterfeit?
8137Who has a Perriton car, Short and Long?
8137Who is hurt?
8137Who is it?
8137Who was the other fellow?
8137Who-- who do you mean?
8137Who? 8137 Who?"
8137Who?
8137Who?
8137Why are you so sure?
8137Why did n''t Short and Long tell him he was in the revolving door?
8137Why does he want to act the donkey?
8137Why me?
8137Why not, Bess?
8137Why not? 8137 Why not?"
8137Why should you be?
8137Why the''orrid hobservation about poor Purt?
8137Why wo n''t she?
8137Why, he is a regular''man of mystery,''is n''t he?
8137Why, is n''t it strange?
8137Why-- why----What do I know about it?

8137''What is a pseudonym?''
8137And I believe I recognize that very charming Lady Mystery-- do I not?"
8137And how about that man who gave it to you?
8137And if we do n''t make a heap of money for the Red Cross, after all the advertising we''ve had, what will folks think of us?"
8137And look how he is carrying that gun, will you?"
8137And suppose the police do make inquiries?"
8137And the boys left us, did n''t they, to look up the car?"
8137And there is the other-- see?"
8137And what do you think?"
8137And what do you think?"
8137And you, Mrs. Sweet?

8137Are you not a lady?"
8137As he gazed the bell began to toll The hick stopped a passer- by and said:"''Tell me, why does the bell ring at this time of day?''
8137But do you think we can get her?"
8137But he said afterward to his wife that evening:"What are we going to do with such children, Mother?
8137But what became of my wealth?
8137But whose rabbits were they before you bought them?"

8137Did n''t it, Chet?"
8137Did n''t you hear him?
8137Did you boys find the guilty party?"
8137Did you notice that?
8137Do n''t the doctors think he will recover his memory?"
8137Do n''t you know?"
8137Do you know if he had any lodging in Centerport?"
8137Do you know the latest?"
8137Do you mind giving me your name and address?"
8137Do you really mean it?"
8137Do you suppose that for once she gives us credit for knowing a little something?"
8137Do you wonder foreigners find English so difficult?
8137Does n''t he always have them on in winter?"
8137Does n''t it sound familiar to you?"
8137Have they changed the hours?
8137Have you those bank- notes they say you carried in your pocket when you were brought in?"
8137How did he so suddenly become Janet Steele''s Uncle Jack?"

8137Now, is n''t that refined and beautiful?"
8137Now, what do you know about that?"
8137Or Jess?
8137Or Lil?"
8137Or am I seeing something that you folks do n''t?"
8137Sharp?"
8137She did refuse, did she?"
8137She said to Jess and Laura, after they had parted from the other boys:"What do you know about that boy?
8137Suppose he should be dead?"
8137Tell us?"
8137That old thing?"
8137The fire was smothered, but what injury had it done to the boy?
8137The man who drove the car, I mean, or the one who possibly took the nine- ten express out of town that night?
8137The one who passed the bank- note on your son?"
8137Then:"Shall we walk along with Janet?"
8137Therefore, if he is not shielding some other person, what is he about?"
8137To pay half his fine?"
8137Tommy sat and ate, and ate, until the nurse said:"Tommy, do n''t you know that you are distending your stomach with all those sweets?
8137Was it?"
8137Was there a moment''s hesitation on the part of the Red Cross girl?
8137What am I thinking of?"
8137What could be more fitting for a leader of our costume parade?
8137What did I tell you?
8137What do they call you, son?"
8137What do you know about that?"
8137What do you mean-- you found a car?"
8137What do you suppose she has suggested?"
8137What do you suppose she wants to do?"
8137What do you suppose?
8137What do you think, Laura?"
8137What do you want me to do?"
8137What girl, however, does not love to"dress up and act?"
8137What girl?"
8137What happened, Bobby?"
8137What made Billy believe Pretty Sweet ran the man down?"
8137What shall we do?"
8137What''s her name?"
8137Whether Purt Sweet''s car had run down the man from Alaska or not, what did Hester know about it?
8137Who did he go with?"
8137Who is it-- Bobby?
8137Who was that awful person who ran down the man last night?
8137Who----?"
8137Why did n''t you, Laura, suggest somebody else for the part, as long as Margit could n''t take it?"
8137Will you help us out?"
8137Will you not, Janet?"
8137With my expensive family, do you think I can afford to lose fifty dollars?
8137Wo n''t you come in?
8137Would the play be a success?
8137Would you spoil all our chances?"
8137Would you want to?"

8137and"Who?"
8137begged Janet"Sha''n''t I get tea for us?"
8137cried Bobby boldly,"you are not really going to let that Hester Grimes act in this play, are you?
8137cried Mrs. Sweet"Wo n''t you come and talk to me while we are waiting?"
8137demanded Jess Morse, with disgust,"Knowing that Gee Gee is what she is, why could n''t Hester keep her own temper?"
8137drawled Lily Pendleton,"how did you know Hester would cut up so mean?"
8137exclaimed Bobby, when she saw Tommy slipping all over the icy sidewalk,"what is the matter with that boy?"
8137exclaimed Chet Belding,"you are skidding yourself, are n''t you?"
8137exclaimed Laura,"do you mean that you think of going away?"
8137exclaimed Laura,"what ever do you mean?"
8137gasped Chet,"if I''m nicked fifty dollars, how shall I ever be able to buy Christmas presents, or even give anything for the Red Cross drive?"
8137gasped Laura suddenly,"tell me what this is coming up the hill?
8137has he got the money himself?"
8137how do you expect us to guess the vagaries of the Carrington mind?"
8137murmured Nellie,"what would we do if Hester were twins?"
8137not careless?"
8137said Jess,"What about this nine- ten express Bobby spoke of?"
8137she said,"did n''t you tell us that you loved to skate?"
8137was he hurt badly?"
8137why did n''t you think of the girl who helped you out before?"
