| 20496 | Ah Griet,said he slowly;"whoever would have thought it?" |

| 20496 | Are n''t Lohengrin and Siegfried, immortalised by the great Master of Bayreuth, also heroic figures in your Rhine legends? |
| 20496 | Do you know these two? |
| 20496 | Well, Master Gerhard,began the unwelcome visitor,"how are you getting on with your work? |
| 20496 | Well, what do you think of it? 20496 What are the weak sons of the earth seeking up here on the heights?" |
| 20496 | What is your name, little one? |
| 20496 | What is your name, strange brother? |
| 20496 | What may that be? |

| 20496 | Where is she? |
| 20496 | Where is the evil- doer who has stained the honour of my house, where is he, that I may crush his life out? |
| 20496 | Who had saved her from certain destruction? 20496 Who is likely to prevent it?" |
| 20496 | You are quite convinced of the truth of your statement, are n''t you? |
| 20496 | Charlemagne stood up and spake:--"What does a royal princess deserve, who receives the visit of a man at night?" |
| 20496 | He bade his squire ask the boatman who was putting out his little bark to cross the river, what was the name of the castle? |
| 20496 | She wanted to pass by without saying a word, but the stranger stopped her and said:"How far is it from here to Aix- la- Chapelle?" |
| 20496 | Was he a master of the black art or was he the devil himself? |
| 20496 | Was it his protecting- angel who had placed it there as a warning to the deluded young man? |

| 20496 | Who is the holy man? |
| 20496 | Who is the knight? |
| 20496 | Who was the God who so visibly aided His own?" |
| 20496 | Why should not this same Bernkastler cure, thought he, have the same effect on the worthy prelate? |
| 20496 | he asked in a hoarse voice,"dead?" |
| 20496 | is it you Sir Knight?" |
| 20496 | what does it there?" |
| 20496 | whispered he, startled,"do you see her-- the enchantress?" |
| 7704 | And any children you may have? |
| 7704 | And if that beat were stilled, what then? 7704 And may I ask who you be?" |
| 7704 | And my child, then? |
| 7704 | And what do you do lollopoping there on them blessed stocks? |
| 7704 | And where is the signorina? |
| 7704 | And yet why not? |
| 7704 | And you commission me, then, to speak to our dear Jemima? |
| 7704 | Are these suns more serene than ours, or the soil more fertile? 7704 Augh,"said the tinker, starting,"you fit with a young gentleman, did you? |
| 7704 | But how on earth did you get into my new stocks? |
| 7704 | But vy should you fit cos he trespassed on the stocks? 7704 But where is the parson to find you?" |
| 7704 | Did he, and what for? |
| 7704 | Do you think so? |
| 7704 | Done? |
| 7704 | Eh, sir? |
| 7704 | Hollo, you, sir,said he, as Lenny now came in hearing,"where be you going at that rate?" |
| 7704 | Hollo,said Mr. Stirn,"what is all this? |
| 7704 | I mean what maladies, what diseases? |
| 7704 | Is she liked in the village, think you? |
| 7704 | Miss Jemima? 7704 My dear Hazeldean, what has happened? |
| 7704 | No low fevers, no consumption? |
| 7704 | Put what? |
| 7704 | Since when? |
| 7704 | That may protect the stocks certainly; but will it keep those detestable tracts out of the beer- house? |
| 7704 | That''s the very question I wish to Heaven I could answer,groaned the squire, quite mildly and pathetically,--"What on earth has come to us all? |
| 7704 | Well, who''s going to be married now? |
| 7704 | What Is your name, pray? 7704 What the plague has the House of Tudor got to do with my stocks?" |
| 7704 | Where? 7704 Who gave you them leggins? |
| 7704 | Yet it is higher ground,--more exposed? |
| 7704 | You have not done wrong? 7704 ''Did you say God bless me?'' 7704 ( Then, looking up, and with naivete)Can you believe me? |
| 7704 | --and the irony of the tone vanished--"what is this, my poor boy? |
| 7704 | And if in a hobble of mine own choosing, why should I blame the gods?" |
| 7704 | Ask Stirn:"( then bursting out)"Stirn, you infernal rascal, do n''t you hear? |
| 7704 | Author, what is the title?" |
| 7704 | Ay, I''d ha''ta''en my davy on that: and cos vy?" |
| 7704 | But how can we two rough- bearded men provide for all the nameless wants and cares of a frail female child? |
| 7704 | But is not this condition of mine, voluntarily and experimentally incurred, a type of my life? |
| 7704 | But who would not swallow a pill to live to a hundred and fifty- two?" |
| 7704 | Ca n''t he come home every night after work?" |
| 7704 | Ca n''t you speak, lad?" |
| 7704 | Did he mean to fortify the stocks? |
| 7704 | Did you see much of Miss Hazeldean?" |
| 7704 | Have you really thought of a title to My Novel?" |
| 7704 | Hazeldean, where on earth did you pick up that idea?" |
| 7704 | I do n''t mean exactly babies, but when they''re older,--little girls?" |
| 7704 | I want to stop''em all, if I can, from going into the village; but how?" |
| 7704 | If it could speak, what would it say, Leonard Fairfield? |
| 7704 | Is it a hairbreadth too short to cover the scratch for which you want it? |
| 7704 | Is it the first time that I have thrust myself into a hobble? |
| 7704 | Is she fond of children, do you think?" |
| 7704 | Is the land of the stranger a better refuge than the home of peace in her native clime?" |
| 7704 | It is very true, neighbours, that I owe her a good many acres, and ought to speak well of her; but what then? |
| 7704 | MY MOTHER.--"''Says she to her Neighbour, What?''" |
| 7704 | Nothing can be better; simple, natural, pertinent, concise--"PISISTRATUS.--"What is it, sir, what is it? |
| 7704 | Now, pray, what is the matter with Lenny Fairfield? |
| 7704 | PISISTRATUS( eagerly).--"Well, sir?" |
| 7704 | Pardin for what, I should like to know? |
| 7704 | SQUILLS.--"If it be not too great a liberty, pray who or what is Camarina?" |
| 7704 | STIRN.--"I dare say she was, considering what she pays for the premishes;"( insinuatingly)"you does not know who did it,--eh, Lenny?" |
| 7704 | She is well?" |
| 7704 | The boy, then, was a stranger; but what was his rank? |
| 7704 | Then, after a long whiff,"Did you ever see her play with the little children? |
| 7704 | Was he of that grade in society in which the natural offences are or are not consonant to, or harmonious with, outrages upon stocks? |
| 7704 | Was this audacious Unknown taking an inventory of the church and the Hall for the purposes of conflagration? |
| 7704 | Well, but you will say,''What''s the squire driving at?'' |
| 7704 | What are the principal complaints in these parts?" |
| 7704 | What could the squire be about? |
| 7704 | What is this?" |
| 7704 | What new mischief did he meditate? |
| 7704 | What on earth has come to us all?" |
| 7704 | What on earth has come to you all?" |
| 7704 | What say you, Roland? |
| 7704 | What will the parson say? |
| 7704 | What''s the matter, Lenny, you blockhead?" |
| 7704 | What''s to be done now? |
| 7704 | What''s your bizness?" |
| 7704 | Where''s Leonard Fairfield, I say?" |
| 7704 | Who could think of the stocks in such a season? |
| 7704 | Why did he leave his own country? |
| 7704 | Why did you not go and talk to that brute of a boy and that dolt of a woman? |
| 7704 | Why is that, think you?" |
| 7704 | Would it attract you in a catalogue?" |
| 7704 | You do n''t mean to say that good Lenny Fairfield( who was absent from church, by the by) can have done anything to get into disgrace?" |
| 7704 | You look well, my child: this air agrees with you as well as that of Hazeldean?" |
| 7704 | and you would have me give up the stocks?" |
| 7704 | my title!--what shall be my title?" |
| 7704 | my young friend, do you sit here from choice or necessity?" |
| 7704 | rather bold-- and curt, eh?" |
| 7704 | said Riccabocca, mournfully;"what can I give her in the world? |
| 7704 | said the parson;"but what''s to be done?" |
| 7704 | what has us here?" |
| 7702 | And did the donkey like the apple? |
| 7702 | And what do you want a groom at all for? 7702 And what the plague are you doing here?" |
| 7702 | And why the deuce could not they? |
| 7702 | Bless me, is it gone? |
| 7702 | But Lenny Fairfield would be as much pleased with twopence; and what could twopence do to thee? |
| 7702 | D''ye know what the diggins the squire did it for, Gaffer Solomons? |
| 7702 | Do n''t you know? 7702 If Madame permit?" |
| 7702 | If the Madonna send us luck, and we could hire a lad cheap? |
| 7702 | Not the whole, Lenny? |
| 7702 | Stop; you see those stocks, eh? 7702 That''s right,"said the squire;"in half an hour, eh? |
| 7702 | There, Lenny, you hear? |
| 7702 | Well? |
| 7702 | What do you mean, Charles? 7702 What does that mean?" |
| 7702 | What does that prove? |
| 7702 | What for? |
| 7702 | What on earth would you do, then? |
| 7702 | What sort of a boy is he? |
| 7702 | What the deuce do you know about Mr. Egerton? 7702 Who and what is he?" |
| 7702 | Wise thing? 7702 Yes, but--""But what? |
| 7702 | You are very fond of Flop, I suppose? |
| 7702 | A fine bead,--very like Dante''s; but what is beauty?" |
| 7702 | Against the abolition of the Corn Laws? |
| 7702 | All I can say to those rigid disciplinarians is,"Every man has his favourite sin: whist was Parson Dale''s!--ladies and gentlemen, what is yours?" |
| 7702 | An interesting creature, is he not?" |
| 7702 | And how old is Flop?" |
| 7702 | And where do you think this adventurous scholar puts their cradle?" |
| 7702 | And why, Kitty,--I just ask you, why?" |
| 7702 | Are you afraid of tumbling off the pony?" |
| 7702 | But pray, who and what is this Randal Leslie, that you look so discomposed, Squire?" |
| 7702 | CAPTAIN BARNABAS.--"Will you cut for your partner, ma''am?" |
| 7702 | CHAPTER V."Granted,"said the parson;"but what follows? |
| 7702 | DALE.--"Pugs? |
| 7702 | Dale?" |
| 7702 | Dale?" |
| 7702 | Do n''t you think it would be a very happy thing for both if Jemima and Signor Riccabocca could be brought together?" |
| 7702 | Do n''t you think, Charles, it would be a great blessing if we could get him a good wife?" |
| 7702 | Do n''t you think, after all, it is tempting our evil star to rent those fields from the landlord?" |
| 7702 | Do you know, Mother?" |
| 7702 | Does it need so long an exordium to excuse thee, poor Parson Dale, for turning up that ace of spades with so triumphant a smile at thy partner? |
| 7702 | FRANK.--"Eh, Mother?" |
| 7702 | FRANK.--"Why do n''t they mix with the county?" |
| 7702 | From what bird, wild eagle, or barn- door fowl, can I"''Pluck one unwearied plume from Fancy''s wing?''" |
| 7702 | Go home, will ye? |
| 7702 | How d''ye do, my little man?" |
| 7702 | How old are you?" |
| 7702 | I vould not hurt thee; would I, Neddy?" |
| 7702 | Interesting? |
| 7702 | LENNY.--"Why, he must be fifteen year and more.."PARSON.--"How old, then, are you?" |
| 7702 | Leslie?" |
| 7702 | MISS JEMIMA( half pettishly, half coaxingly).--"Why is he interesting? |
| 7702 | MISS JEMIMA( hesitatingly).--"Do you think so?" |
| 7702 | MISS JEMIMA.--"Very true: what is it indeed? |
| 7702 | MR. CAXTON( after a little thought).--"You remember the story which Trevanion( I beg his pardon, Lord Ulswater) told us the other night? |
| 7702 | MRS. DALE( kindly, as she wraps her shawl round her).--"Suppose you write the note yourself? |
| 7702 | MRS. DALE( looking up languidly).--"Well, my love?" |
| 7702 | MRS. HAZELDEAN( to Miss Jemima).--"Is that the note you were to write for me?" |
| 7702 | MY MOTHER( mechanically, and in order to show Austin that she paid him the compliment of attending to his remarks).--"Who split off, my dear?" |
| 7702 | Need I tell you that Money or Moneta, according to Hyginus, was the mother of the Muses? |
| 7702 | Ought I only to have given him the half?" |
| 7702 | PARSON( looking away, and after a pause).--"You never hear anything of the old folks at Lansmere?" |
| 7702 | PARSON( slapping his cards on the table in despair).--"Are we playing at whist, or are we not?" |
| 7702 | PARSON.--"What''s what?" |
| 7702 | PISISTRATUS.---"Trash, sir?" |
| 7702 | Please, sir, do n''t be offended; do take it back, will you?" |
| 7702 | Pray, what do you think of the squire''s tenant at the Casino, Signor Riccabocca? |
| 7702 | Rickeybockey?" |
| 7702 | SQUIRE( who has been listening to Frank''s inquiries with a musing air).--"Why do you want to know the distance to Rood Hall?" |
| 7702 | SQUIRE( with a little embarrassment in his voice).--"Pray, Frank, what do you know of Randal Leslie?" |
| 7702 | Suppose, my lad, that you had a fine apple, and that you met a friend who wanted it more than you, what would you do with it?" |
| 7702 | THE CAPTAIN( putting down the cards to cut).--"You''ve got hold of that passage about Botham Hall, page 706, eh?" |
| 7702 | Tell all the bad boys in the parish to take care how they get into them-- a sad disgrace-- you''ll never be in such a quandary?" |
| 7702 | That beautiful book, Frank-- hold up your head, my love-- what did you get it for?" |
| 7702 | There, Mrs. Dale, you hear me?" |
| 7702 | They look something like now, my stocks, do n''t they, Harry? |
| 7702 | This warning cooled Mr. Hazeldean; and muttering,"Why the deuce did you set me off?" |
| 7702 | Was not Jemima''s fortune about L4000?" |
| 7702 | Well, Master Dale, what do you say to that?" |
| 7702 | What ha''you got in your willanous little fist there?" |
| 7702 | What sort of a creature is it?" |
| 7702 | What!--trumps, Barney? |
| 7702 | What''s the man about now, I wonder?" |
| 7702 | Why is he interesting?" |
| 7702 | Will you come up and play a rubber, Dale? |
| 7702 | Will you venture on what our homely language calls''pot- luck,''Doctor?" |
| 7702 | You call that sapping? |
| 7702 | repeated Mr. Dale, with a smile of benign, yet too conscious superiority,"what does experience prove?" |
| 7702 | said a stout, sullen- looking young fellow, whom conscience possibly pricked to reply,--"what for, when it bean''t the season? |
| 7702 | said the right- hand man, glowering on Lenny malignantly,"you are the pattern boy of the village, are you? |
| 7702 | trump my diamond?" |
| 7703 | Ah, sir, what indeed? |
| 7703 | And the pictures in the hall? |
| 7703 | And trying to be happy, Westbourne? 7703 And whom do you suspect? |
| 7703 | As poor as my father? |
| 7703 | Be you going there? |
| 7703 | But are you enough, you rascals? |
| 7703 | But still, though L''Estrange is doubtless all you say, do n''t you think he rather wastes his life living abroad? |
| 7703 | But surely the farmers want work here as well as elsewhere? |
| 7703 | But which way be you going, sir? 7703 Dear me,"cried Mrs. Leslie,"who can that possibly be? |
| 7703 | Do you think, when Wolsey and Thomas- a- Becket became priests, they were fond of telling their beads and pattering Aves? 7703 Eh?" |
| 7703 | Have you come far? |
| 7703 | Is he as amusing as ever? |
| 7703 | Is that queer fellow ever coming back to England? |
| 7703 | Is this the village of Rood? |
| 7703 | May I ask your permission? |
| 7703 | Mr. Hazeldean has company staying with him? |
| 7703 | Never to wear what? |
| 7703 | Oh, yes, I likes them well eno''; mayhap you are at school with the young gentleman? |
| 7703 | Oh-- I-- no; but they are well done: are n''t they, sir? |
| 7703 | On Saturday, then? |
| 7703 | Perhaps we are going the same way, and I can give you a lift? |
| 7703 | Semminating--"Disseminating, you blockhead,--disseminating what? |
| 7703 | Taken from nature, eh? |
| 7703 | The priests want you to turn heretic? |
| 7703 | Well, Mr. Mayor,said Audley, pointing to a seat,"what else would you suggest?" |
| 7703 | Well, man, what now? |
| 7703 | Well? |
| 7703 | What are you about, Randal? |
| 7703 | What, Randal? |
| 7703 | Why does he not go to them? |
| 7703 | Will you pull down that bough, Oliver? |
| 7703 | Without compliment? |
| 7703 | You do n''t seem very well off in this village, my man? |
| 7703 | You will go, Randal? |
| 7703 | ''Make my way in life,''sayest thou, Audley Egerton? |
| 7703 | After a few observations on the last debate this gentleman said,--"By the way, can you dine with me next Saturday, to meet Lansmere? |
| 7703 | And ca n''t I wait? |
| 7703 | And is Miss Jemima your heroine?" |
| 7703 | And what are temptations but trials; what are trials but perils and sorrows? |
| 7703 | And what is to become of the poor signorina? |
| 7703 | And whose farm did he take?" |
| 7703 | And yet, with all my struggles, will knowledge ever place me on the same level as that on which this dunce is born? |
| 7703 | Are you sure it is not we who waste our lives? |
| 7703 | Ask why this inequality? |
| 7703 | BLANCHE.--"But pray whom do you mean for a hero? |
| 7703 | Bruce?" |
| 7703 | But now, after all, what was to be done? |
| 7703 | But of all the poor, who should hate the rich like the pauper gentleman? |
| 7703 | But where was the evidence of the constraint? |
| 7703 | But, you see, he had an unexpected legacy--"RANDAL.--"And retired from business?" |
| 7703 | DALE.--"She is very amiable, Jemima, is she not?" |
| 7703 | Has he not both vexations to his spirit and trials to his virtue, which he knew not when he went forth to his labour, and took no heed of the morrow? |
| 7703 | Have I not heard my mother say that I am as near in blood to this squire as any one, if he had no children? |
| 7703 | Have I not my savings too? |
| 7703 | Have you anything to say against the infant hitherto?" |
| 7703 | Hazeldean''s?" |
| 7703 | He is a relation of yours?" |
| 7703 | His father''s halls? |
| 7703 | How d''ye think the Premier would take it?" |
| 7703 | I suppose Audley Egerton means me to come into parliament, and be a Tory like himself? |
| 7703 | If there had been no poverty, and no sense of poverty, where would have been that which we call the wealth of a country? |
| 7703 | If there were no penury and no pain, what would become of fortitude; what of patience; what of resignation? |
| 7703 | Is this meant to guard against too sanguine notions of inheritance, which his generosity may have excited? |
| 7703 | Is this the way you are to marry her in the foreign land?" |
| 7703 | Leslie''s?" |
| 7703 | Let his heart answer me while I speak: are not the chief cares that now disturb him to be found in the goods he hath acquired? |
| 7703 | MAYOR.--"And if I go to the last chap, what do you think he''ll say?" |
| 7703 | O my brethren, do you not perceive? |
| 7703 | Oust him from what? |
| 7703 | Oust him-- what from? |
| 7703 | PISISTRATUS.--"Can''t be a doubt, sir? |
| 7703 | PISISTRATUS.--"Do you remember any of his reasons, sir?" |
| 7703 | RANDAL.--"Would the money have paid as well sunk on my father''s land?" |
| 7703 | Rickeybockey?" |
| 7703 | That''s speaking fair and manful, is n''t it?" |
| 7703 | The lawyer asks our Lord,''Who is my neighbour?'' |
| 7703 | True, he is very little in town; but why do n''t you go and see him in the country? |
| 7703 | Two votes for a free and independent town like ours,--that''s something, is n''t it?" |
| 7703 | Well, but if he were dead, who would be the heir of Hazeldean? |
| 7703 | Well, then, shall I have no power to oust this blockhead? |
| 7703 | What boy do you mean?" |
| 7703 | What the devil is come to the parish?" |
| 7703 | Who did''em?" |
| 7703 | Why are they unequal? |
| 7703 | Why do we fail so often in the practice? |
| 7703 | Why so?" |
| 7703 | Will this suffice?" |
| 7703 | Yet now, what to us the priest and the Levite, of God''s chosen race though they were? |
| 7703 | You know Rood, then?" |
| 7703 | You may have heard of Farmer Bruce?" |
| 7703 | You see you were member for Lansmere once, and I think you only came in by a majority of two, eh?" |
| 7703 | ["What exile from his country can also fly from himself?"] |
| 7703 | do you suppose Dr. Rickeybockey got out of his warm bed to bung up the holes in my new stocks?" |
| 7703 | the Government wants to bribe you?" |
| 7703 | this is the most insolent, unprovoked, diabolical-- but whom do you suspect, I say?" |
| 7703 | yes, I remember you first came into parliament for that snug little place; but Lansmere himself never found fault with your votes, did he?" |
| 7703 | you are not so dull a fellow as you would make yourself out to be; and, even if an author did thrust himself forward, what objection is there to that? |
| 7703 | you painted them?" |
| 7706 | Ah, well, well; where the devil is Nero? |
| 7706 | And the young man is his heir? |
| 7706 | And when you return from your relations, you will call on me? 7706 Are you sure it is a gentleman?" |
| 7706 | Beef, sir? |
| 7706 | But if it is his own fault,--if he has been imprudent? |
| 7706 | But is the uncle really so rich? |
| 7706 | But what''s the matter? |
| 7706 | Did I tell you, or did I not,said Dick,"that I would not have those horrid, disreputable cubs of yours playing just before my lodge gates?" |
| 7706 | Did they go through the keyhole? |
| 7706 | Digby, old fellow, can you lend me L100? |
| 7706 | Do n''t you want to cry, my dear? 7706 Does the nation take a nap to- night?" |
| 7706 | Ha- well, what now? |
| 7706 | Handsome elevation-- classical, I take it, eh? |
| 7706 | Has he been talking to you of his expectations? |
| 7706 | He is better, then, sir? |
| 7706 | Helen, where''s my purse? |
| 7706 | I hope, Pisistratus,said my father,"that you do not intend to be dull?" |
| 7706 | I wonder what Mrs. M''Catchley will say? |
| 7706 | Is he very ill, very? |
| 7706 | Is that all you have? |
| 7706 | Is? |
| 7706 | Leave this place-- leave me? |
| 7706 | Morbid sensibility of character-- coffee? 7706 Nothing?" |
| 7706 | Of what dowager do you speak? |
| 7706 | On me? |
| 7706 | Shaking your head at me? 7706 Shall I send for Dr. Dosewell, sir?" |
| 7706 | Then you will be mine? |
| 7706 | W- hew,whistled the tinker,"your nephew is it, sir? |
| 7706 | Well,said Richard,"I am not the sort of man you expected, eh? |
| 7706 | What do you mean, sir? |
| 7706 | What does I do''ere? |
| 7706 | What have slippers and hair- brushes to do with attics? |
| 7706 | What shall I have done with them? |
| 7706 | What the deuce are they to me? |
| 7706 | What the devil are you doing on my property, lurking by my hedge? 7706 What?" |
| 7706 | Where''s George? 7706 Why, really, my dear Harley, this man was no great friend of yours, eh?" |
| 7706 | You''re not ashamed of me, then, in spite of what has happened? |
| 7706 | And Mrs. M''Catchley, stretching forth her parasol, exclaimed,"Dear me, Mr. Avenel, what can they be all crowding there for?" |
| 7706 | And now, can you guess who I am?" |
| 7706 | And then, when you were on your last legs, did I not give you L200 out of my own purse to go to Canada? |
| 7706 | And while, on the dullest of dull questions, Audley Egerton thus, not too lively himself, enforced attention, where was Harley L''Estrange? |
| 7706 | Answer me this, thou solemn Right Honourable,--Hast thou climbed to the heights of august contemplation? |
| 7706 | Are you mad?--or do you want to drive me mad? |
| 7706 | As he led Mrs. M''Catchley after the dance, into the lawn, he therefore said tenderly,--"How shall I thank you for the favour you have done me?" |
| 7706 | Ask her pardon!-- what for? |
| 7706 | At what hour to- morrow does the next coach to London pass?" |
| 7706 | Avenel?" |
| 7706 | Avenel?" |
| 7706 | But perhaps you are for inhaling?" |
| 7706 | But the last took his hand, and said, in a voice at once tremulous and soothing,"Is it possible that I see once more an old brother in arms? |
| 7706 | Come, does that suit you?" |
| 7706 | Come, what has happened to you?--on half- pay?" |
| 7706 | DOSEWELL.--"Old what, sir?" |
| 7706 | DOSEWELL.--"Where look for liberality, if men of science are illiberal to their brethren?" |
| 7706 | DR. DOSEWELL( courteously).--"We country doctors bow to our metropolitan superiors; what would you advise? |
| 7706 | DR. DOSEWELL( with some displeasure).--"What would you advise, then, in order to prolong our patient''s life for a month?" |
| 7706 | Did not you run into debt, and spend your fortune? |
| 7706 | Did not you sell your commission? |
| 7706 | Did not you turn( I shudder to say it) a common stage- player, sir? |
| 7706 | Do you intend to disobey me? |
| 7706 | Do you think you could thrust him into some small place in the Colonies, or make him a King''s Messenger, or something of the sort?" |
| 7706 | Eh, child?" |
| 7706 | Hast thou dreamed of a love known to the angels, or sought to seize in the Infinite the mystery of life?" |
| 7706 | Hast thou gazed on the stars with the rapt eye of song? |
| 7706 | He turned to Leonard:"You have written to this woman, then?" |
| 7706 | How on earth could a man puzzle himself about ricks and tinkers when all his cares and energies were devoted to a/dejeune dansant/? |
| 7706 | I am going to London; shall I call on your relations, and tell some of them to join you?" |
| 7706 | I have begged without shame for myself; shall I be ashamed, then, to beg for her?" |
| 7706 | I said before, ay or no; and your kindness so emboldens me that I say it again, ay or no?" |
| 7706 | Indeed, I know nothing can be done: he has his half- pay?" |
| 7706 | Look out of the window-- what do you see?" |
| 7706 | Low and shocking--what shall we do? |
| 7706 | MORGAN.--"A complete what?" |
| 7706 | Not yet at the University? |
| 7706 | Now, lean upon me; I see you should be at home: which way?" |
| 7706 | On such occasion, what epic poet would not describe the robe and tunic of a hero? |
| 7706 | She had even said point- blank to Mr. Avenel,"Why do n''t you give a/Dejeune dansant/?" |
| 7706 | So you have a long journey before you?" |
| 7706 | Then laying his hand lightly on his friend''s shoulder, he said,"Is it for you, Audley Egerton, to speak sneeringly of boyish memories? |
| 7706 | Then with his sort of sickly smile,--for he was bland even to his child,--"Will you kindly inquire when the first coach leaves?" |
| 7706 | This vulgar man, of what might he not be capable? |
| 7706 | Time is money-- they know that in the States; for why? |
| 7706 | Vot''s the dodge, eh?" |
| 7706 | Was the man a conjuror? |
| 7706 | Was there no beauty in this? |
| 7706 | What better could I expect when I set up for a critic? |
| 7706 | What could bring you so far from home?" |
| 7706 | What could make you ask such a question? |
| 7706 | What do you do here, I say? |
| 7706 | What else draws your thoughts from blue- books and beer- bills to waste them on a vagrant like me? |
| 7706 | What else is it that binds us together? |
| 7706 | What else warms my heart when I meet you? |
| 7706 | What occult horrid meaning did the word convey to ears polite? |
| 7706 | What shall it be?" |
| 7706 | What was he, then? |
| 7706 | What-- hesitate? |
| 7706 | Why does he not come to the door?" |
| 7706 | Why should he not say"green"? |
| 7706 | Will he go to Oxford or Cambridge?" |
| 7706 | Will you find him a place in the Stamp Office?" |
| 7706 | You do not forget my commission with respect to the exile who has married into your brother''s family?" |
| 7706 | You give upas juice in these desperate cases: what''s the dose?" |
| 7706 | You have no symptom of that kind, you say?" |
| 7706 | You have still no idea of entering into public life?" |
| 7706 | and you say that he is Mr. Arundel''s heir?" |
| 7706 | do you think I am a putcher,--an executioner? |
| 7706 | my nephew knows you?" |
| 7706 | said he at last, biting his lip,"so you do n''t think that I look like a gentleman? |
| 7706 | said the passenger,"draw up the window? |
| 7706 | said the widow, languidly, and leaving her hand in his,"who can resist you?" |
| 7706 | we clever fellows will be the aristocrats, eh?" |
| 7705 | And has Jane Fairfield, who married a common carpenter, brought him up to despise small shopkeepers? |
| 7705 | And how long has she been dead? |
| 7705 | And this, I suppose, is your nurse, darling? |
| 7705 | And what do you conclude from that? |
| 7705 | And what have you heard? |
| 7705 | Are you coming, sir? |
| 7705 | But the aristocracy did not sow this piece with rye, I suppose? |
| 7705 | But to send a boy like that to the University-- where''s the money to come from? |
| 7705 | But what is this,--Latin too?--Virgil? |
| 7705 | But you will bless me again, Grandmother? 7705 By shaming Miss Smart into repentance, or getting him a new sweetheart?" |
| 7705 | Can you explain what kind of happiness it is? |
| 7705 | Can you hope to bestow upon the vast mass of your order the luminous intelligence of this''Lord Chancellor of Nature''? 7705 Did you ever read Sir David Brewster on Optical Delusions? |
| 7705 | Did you ever read White''s''Natural History of Selborne''? |
| 7705 | Do the Avenels still reside in their old house? |
| 7705 | Does not the search after wisdom induce desires not satisfied in this small circle to which your life is confined? 7705 Four bobs, four shillings? |
| 7705 | Going far? |
| 7705 | Has he any manner? 7705 He does not know all, then?" |
| 7705 | He? 7705 Homoeopathy?" |
| 7705 | How fares it with you, my dear friend? |
| 7705 | How have you settled the object of your journey? |
| 7705 | How you dare, scum of de earth that you are,cried he,"how you dare make cry the signorina?" |
| 7705 | I believe the Avenels have only two of their children alive still,--their daughter who married Mark Fairfield, and a son who went off to America? |
| 7705 | I did not know as they were there; Mark kep''''em; they got among his--LEONARD.--"Who was Nora?" |
| 7705 | I han''t Betty, sir; do you want she? |
| 7705 | I hope you like the wine, sir? |
| 7705 | Is my Lord at the Park? |
| 7705 | Just explain, will you? |
| 7705 | Love you? 7705 May I not keep these verses, Mother? |
| 7705 | Me? 7705 Mrs. Avenel is the same as ever?" |
| 7705 | Not I; what is it about? |
| 7705 | Not unnatural,said the parson, indulgently;"but he visits his parents; he is a good son at all events, then?" |
| 7705 | Oh, you think so, do you? |
| 7705 | Ought they? |
| 7705 | Papa, she says she is to go back; but she is not to go back, is she? |
| 7705 | Richard, have you been listening? |
| 7705 | Satirical, sir? 7705 Shall I introduce you? |
| 7705 | Sole companions?--your child? |
| 7705 | The room in which Nora slept? 7705 They have a son, I believe; but he''s in America, is he not?" |
| 7705 | To me? |
| 7705 | Umbrella against the stars? |
| 7705 | Well, Mother? |
| 7705 | Well, Richard, you have seen him? |
| 7705 | What have you been about, Lenny,--searching in my box? |
| 7705 | What is his name, and why should he care for me, Grandmother? |
| 7705 | Why so, young man? 7705 Why? |
| 7705 | Will you read it, sir? 7705 Yes, it is Lansmere; you stop there, I guess?" |
| 7705 | You had a secret then? |
| 7705 | You have been walking far, young man? |
| 7705 | You, young lady,--you miss me? |
| 7705 | Your wife? |
| 7705 | ( Aside to Riccabocca.--"Push on, will you?") |
| 7705 | And pray, in what age have philosophers governed the world? |
| 7705 | And since knowledge is compatible with good and with evil, would not it be better to say,''Knowledge is a trust''?" |
| 7705 | And the parson, sliding into her chair, said,--"But you are dejected then? |
| 7705 | And would you not say, He who regards religion as a power intends to abuse it as a priestcraft?" |
| 7705 | And you?" |
| 7705 | And, oh, if you thus speak of knowledge, why have you encouraged me to know?" |
| 7705 | Are they all here,--sure?" |
| 7705 | Are they not always grumbling that nobody attends to them?" |
| 7705 | But I do n''t think you ever read the''Apology''of Apuleius?" |
| 7705 | But is it a crime in them, or in their parents, if their talents have lifted them into such rank or renown as the haughtiest duke might envy? |
| 7705 | But it ben''t near election time, be it, sir?" |
| 7705 | But seems it such rubbish to the poor man, to whom it promises a paradise on the easy terms of upsetting a world? |
| 7705 | But these verses are not my father''s; whose are they? |
| 7705 | But who ever saw upon earth a community of men such as sit on the hearth- rugs of Messrs. Owen and Fourier? |
| 7705 | By knowledge, do you mean intellectual cultivation; by the reign of knowledge, the ascendency of the most cultivated minds?" |
| 7705 | Dale?" |
| 7705 | Did he not rehearse his causes before it as before a master in the art? |
| 7705 | Did not Socrates recommend such attention to his disciples,--did he not make a great moral agent of the speculum? |
| 7705 | Do you read French, Leonard?" |
| 7705 | Do you remember poor Nora-- the Rose of Lansmere, as they called her? |
| 7705 | Do you think that I can not sometimes read your thoughts?" |
| 7705 | Does it prove much in favour of knowledge? |
| 7705 | FAIRFIELD.--"Who?--child-- who? |
| 7705 | Grant that you do so, and what guarantee have you for the virtue and the happiness which you assume as the concomitants of the gift? |
| 7705 | Has it ever been so? |
| 7705 | Have the wise few been so unerring and so happy? |
| 7705 | He added point- blank,"Pray, what was it?" |
| 7705 | He has settled at Lansmere?" |
| 7705 | He is in England, then?" |
| 7705 | How comes it you never spoke of her before? |
| 7705 | How is she off?" |
| 7705 | How know we what lives a single thought retained from the dust of nameless graves may have lighted to renown? |
| 7705 | I dare say it was all my fault, only I did not understand you: are not these things weeds?" |
| 7705 | I grant that it is an up- hill work that lies before you; but do n''t you think it is always easier to climb a mountain than it is to level it? |
| 7705 | I think I have heard you say that you once had a narrow escape of a prison?" |
| 7705 | If the lady''s hallucination was not reasonable, what is his who believes in such visions as these?" |
| 7705 | Is Mr. Morgan, the medical man, still here?" |
| 7705 | Is he genteel, or a mere country lout?" |
| 7705 | Is not that one of our children the most dear to us who is called''the picture of his father''? |
| 7705 | Just let me look at it, will you?" |
| 7705 | LEONARD( after a pause).--"But she must have been highly educated?" |
| 7705 | LEONARD( astonished).--"Do you mean to say, sir, that that aphorism is not in Lord Bacon? |
| 7705 | LEONARD( recovering his surprise).--"But why so?" |
| 7705 | LEONARD.--"How was that?" |
| 7705 | LEONARD.--"Why not, Mother? |
| 7705 | Look you, Mr.-- what''s your name, sir?" |
| 7705 | Nations, you say, may be beaten by other nations less learned and civilized?" |
| 7705 | PARSON( remorsefully).--"Are those Lord Bacon''s words? |
| 7705 | PARSON.--"All evil is power, and does its power make it anything the better?" |
| 7705 | PARSON.--"Halves?" |
| 7705 | PARSON.--"In the first place, is it true that the class which has the most knowledge gets the most power? |
| 7705 | Pray, is not ignorance power too?" |
| 7705 | RICCABOCCA.--"What?" |
| 7705 | TRAVELLER.--"In a chaise or fly? |
| 7705 | That is Lansmere before me, is it not?" |
| 7705 | That would answer better for rye than grass; but then, what would become of my Lord''s deer? |
| 7705 | The black cat existed only in her fancy, but the hallucination was natural and reasonable,--eh, what do you think?" |
| 7705 | The traveller peered out at him as he whirled by,--saw Mr. Dale tossed up and down on the saddle, and cried out,"How''s the leather?" |
| 7705 | There was such a pretty one about the''Peasant''s Fireside,''Lenny,--have you got hold of that?" |
| 7705 | Was not Demosthenes always at his speculum? |
| 7705 | We call her Nora for short--""Leonora-- and I am Leonard-- is that how I came by the name?" |
| 7705 | We''ve all the same cut of the jib,--have we not, Father?" |
| 7705 | What do I want with it, too? |
| 7705 | What do you say?" |
| 7705 | What has become of her; where is she?" |
| 7705 | What on earth are you talking of, ma''am?" |
| 7705 | What shall I do with it? |
| 7705 | What was Bacon himself? |
| 7705 | What would you have more, sir, from folks like us, who have kept shop ourselves? |
| 7705 | What''s the room you gave him?" |
| 7705 | Where did you say you were going?" |
| 7705 | Why, you''re not afraid, are you?" |
| 7705 | Would not that be a base and sordid view of its advantages? |
| 7705 | You call upon business?" |
| 7705 | You can get on some learned subject together, and then he will not miss so much his--""His what?" |
| 7705 | You say the boy''s a''cute, clever lad?" |
| 7705 | You see the great park yonder, on the other side of the road? |
| 7705 | You seem prepared for a journey?" |
| 7705 | You take me, sir?" |
| 7705 | You take to the boy, then?" |
| 7705 | You understand me, sir?" |
| 7705 | said the parson,"if I wished to prove the value of religion, would you think I served it much if I took as my motto,''Religion is power''? |
| 7705 | soliloquized the parson, as the pad recomposed herself,"what does he mean by that? |
| 7705 | what on earth have you got there? |
| 7708 | Ah, Master John,said she, clasping his nerveless hand,"well, the fields be pleasant now; I hope you are come to stay a bit? |
| 7708 | And lodge her in your own house? |
| 7708 | And never buys? |
| 7708 | And that? |
| 7708 | And unsettle a right ambition for a wrong one? 7708 And you call him''Nero''?" |
| 7708 | Are you a native of? |
| 7708 | Are you going home so early? 7708 At whose suit?" |
| 7708 | But a propos of what do you puzzle us with these queries on courage? |
| 7708 | But can you seriously mean to take this child with you abroad? |
| 7708 | But how shall I pay the other half? |
| 7708 | Can you doubt the author? |
| 7708 | Come in, sir; you are my late uncle''s assistant, Mr. Fairfield, I suppose? |
| 7708 | Did not stern old Sam Johnson say he could never write but from want? |
| 7708 | Did not you say that you made, at least, a guinea a week? |
| 7708 | Did you? 7708 Do we ever search for love? |
| 7708 | Do you want me? |
| 7708 | Does he really go abroad next week? |
| 7708 | How are you, Randal Leslie? 7708 How can you be dull enough to ask? |
| 7708 | How? |
| 7708 | I ca n''t quite agree with you,said Randal, taking his leave;"but you must allow me to call again,--will the same hour tomorrow suit you?" |
| 7708 | I will stay with you, my kind friend,said Burley, with unusual meekness;"I can have the old room, then?" |
| 7708 | Is Mr. Norreys at home? |
| 7708 | Is he really happy? |
| 7708 | Is it insensibility to fear? 7708 Is it only in danger that a country is served, only in war that duty is fulfilled? |
| 7708 | Is this child an Avenel too? |
| 7708 | La, Austin, how can you say so? |
| 7708 | Le jeu vaut- il la chandelle? |
| 7708 | Oh, sir, can you think it? |
| 7708 | Oh, yes, some that the dear lady left behind her; and perhaps you would like to look at some papers in her own writing? |
| 7708 | Richard-- Richard-- who is he? 7708 Right-- what is he worth? |
| 7708 | Shall I keep the purse again, Leonard? |
| 7708 | She was not weeping when you left her? |
| 7708 | So,said Lord L''Estrange,"you would return to London? |
| 7708 | The country is terribly dull, is it? 7708 Well, the eggs are fresh laid, and you would like a rasher of bacon, Master John? |
| 7708 | What brings him here? |
| 7708 | What duchess, my dear father? |
| 7708 | What is courage? |
| 7708 | What is courage? |
| 7708 | What is it? |
| 7708 | What is the book, my lord? |
| 7708 | What more would you have? |
| 7708 | What''s that? |
| 7708 | Where could you two ever have met? |
| 7708 | Where is he? |
| 7708 | You are sure you would remember him, if we met him by chance? |
| 7708 | You have not breakfasted? |
| 7708 | Your own? |
| 7708 | Your particular friend, Master Frank? 7708 ''T is the river that founded and gave pomp to the city; and, without the discontent, where were progress, what were Man? 7708 Aha, sir-- very well, very well-- the country is horribly dull, is it? 7708 And Leonard, and Harley, and Helen? 7708 And how could the boy turn out of his room the man to whom he was under obligations? 7708 And if he wanted a third person, was not there his own mother? 7708 And is it not better for both of you that youth should open upon the world with youth''s natural affections free and unforestalled? |
| 7708 | And pray why, sir?" |
| 7708 | And what does youth want that it should be extravagant? |
| 7708 | As you are going into the House, will you remind him of his promise to me?" |
| 7708 | At what school did you conceive a taste for letters? |
| 7708 | BURLEY( moved).--"You go, my little lady; and why? |
| 7708 | BURLEY( with a gulp).--"Is it because he thinks I am not fit company for you?" |
| 7708 | Burley?" |
| 7708 | But I am sure my dear Lord must think that the duchess should not have made the first overture,--even to a friend and a kinsman?" |
| 7708 | But later, if encouraged, would the love be the same? |
| 7708 | But pray; Austin, what is courage?" |
| 7708 | But we, too, named a condition,--did we not, Lansmere?" |
| 7708 | But, had Burley written the pamphlet, would the same repute have attended him? |
| 7708 | But, if discovered, what harm can ensue? |
| 7708 | By the by, I suppose he told you where I was, otherwise how did you find me out?" |
| 7708 | CAXTON.--"You would not have minded if it had been a Frenchman with a sword in his hand?" |
| 7708 | Can such a memory influence you even to this day? |
| 7708 | Can we not all live together?" |
| 7708 | Does it not flash upon us when we least expect it? |
| 7708 | EGERTON.--"What? |
| 7708 | EGERTON.--"Whom?" |
| 7708 | EGERTON.--"You say it: but turn to yourself; you have decided, then, to leave England next week?" |
| 7708 | Even from the first, when Leonard had exclaimed,"Ah, Helen, why did you ever leave me?" |
| 7708 | For what vantage- ground is so high as youth? |
| 7708 | Goodyer?" |
| 7708 | HARLEY( with interest).--"And well, I hope?" |
| 7708 | HARLEY.--"And that gave you pleasure?" |
| 7708 | HARLEY.--"What was it?" |
| 7708 | Has it not everything in itself, merely because it is? |
| 7708 | Have you not seen him yet, sir?" |
| 7708 | He shook his head, and replied,"Oh, my Lord, how have I deserved such kindness? |
| 7708 | Heavens, sir, do I understand aright, can Mr. Prickett be dead since I left London?" |
| 7708 | His companion smiled, and replied by another question,"What is the man who reads the book?" |
| 7708 | His dreamy impressions of London, an anathema on its streets and its hearts of stone, murmurs against poverty, dark elegies on fate? |
| 7708 | How? |
| 7708 | I am alone, and often sad, Helen; will you not comfort me? |
| 7708 | I have a great mind to go back--""And tell him to give you twice as much money as you bad asked for? |
| 7708 | I hope he is looking well?" |
| 7708 | I presume you will speak to- night?" |
| 7708 | I suppose my half- brother will let you come?" |
| 7708 | I tell you I have met a relation of theirs-- a nephew of-- of--""Of Richard Avenel''s?" |
| 7708 | If you remember me, I hope all boyish quarrels are forgotten?" |
| 7708 | Is it clear that she will love you,--not mistake gratitude for love? |
| 7708 | Is it not PATIENCE, Father? |
| 7708 | Is it not like the inspiration to the muse? |
| 7708 | LORD LANSMERE.--"HOW?" |
| 7708 | Not seen my Harry? |
| 7708 | Of whom else should he beg? |
| 7708 | Oh, could your mother''s name have been Avenel?" |
| 7708 | Poor thing, what could have become of her?" |
| 7708 | Recall all the unhappy marriages that have come to your knowledge: pray, have not eighteen out of twenty been marriages for Love? |
| 7708 | She grew pale when he talked of Burley, and shuddered, poor little Helen? |
| 7708 | Should she burden him? |
| 7708 | Still, what else to love is there left to me?" |
| 7708 | THE EARL( puzzled).--"Eh, did we? |
| 7708 | Talk-- and what about? |
| 7708 | The first of our race is ever the one we are most proud of; and pray, what ancestors had he? |
| 7708 | This is one offer,--what say you to it?" |
| 7708 | To whom but Frank Hazeldean? |
| 7708 | To whom, then, could Egerton mean to devise his fortune? |
| 7708 | Two days before, Leonard had pawned Riccabocca''s watch; and when the last shilling thus raised was gone, how should he support Helen? |
| 7708 | Well, in this country who should plume himself on birth?" |
| 7708 | What but his faculty to brave, to suffer, to endure,--the patience that resists firmly and innovates slowly? |
| 7708 | What care we for your English gray clouds without? |
| 7708 | What do you say, Katherine?" |
| 7708 | What is this? |
| 7708 | What man looks out and says,''I will fall in love''? |
| 7708 | What poet sits down and says,''I will write a poem''? |
| 7708 | What say you to this course?" |
| 7708 | What to do?" |
| 7708 | What was it that he wrote? |
| 7708 | What, then, shall I do? |
| 7708 | When I want to see how little those last influence the happiness of wise men, have I not Machiavelli and Thucydides? |
| 7708 | Who and what is this clever man whom you call Burley?" |
| 7708 | Who the devil is this pamphleteer?" |
| 7708 | Whom,--Richard Avenel?" |
| 7708 | Why could he not escape? |
| 7708 | Why must you leave him because I come?" |
| 7708 | Why, Frank is not extravagant, and he will be very rich, eh?" |
| 7708 | Will you not call on him while you are in town?" |
| 7708 | Would your honour like a jarvey?" |
| 7708 | Yet how can she like me as she ought, if her heart is to be full of you?" |
| 7708 | You know, I hope, that you have good Hazeldean blood in your veins?" |
| 7708 | You see I can not marry a dream; and where, out of dreams, shall I find this''whom''?" |
| 7708 | Your name is Leonard Fairfield?" |
| 7708 | Youth is youth-- what needs it more?" |
| 7708 | [ firing up] am I a tyrant, a bashaw, that my own son is afraid to speak to me? |
| 7708 | and when the betrothed answers,''I will be true,''does not the lover trust to her courage as well as her love?" |
| 7708 | coming to hear the debate?" |
| 7708 | cried my mother, firing up;"was it not only last week that you faced the great bull that was rushing after Blanche and the children?" |
| 7708 | cried the earl,"what extraordinary language is this? |
| 7708 | he exclaimed,"where is he? |
| 7708 | he is not thinking of that, I trust? |
| 7708 | was there something grand and holy, after all, even in Chatterton''s despair? |
| 7708 | would he think it so great a punishment to come home and live with his parents?" |
| 7708 | yet my own existence-- what is it?" |
| 7707 | A little girl whom I saw in the churchyard yonder, weeping very bitterly-- is she a relation of yours? 7707 Ah, is it indeed Randal Leslie?" |
| 7707 | Ah,cried Leonard, sorrowfully,"how could I forget?" |
| 7707 | Already? |
| 7707 | And how, sir, have there ever been poets? 7707 And how,"cried Leonard, fiercely,--"how have they dared to slander this dead mother? |
| 7707 | And it is not a very handsome city, either, you say? |
| 7707 | And no inquiries were ever made? |
| 7707 | And so this London is really very vast,--VERY? |
| 7707 | And what is Mr. Burley, and what has he written? |
| 7707 | And you have not secured a partner? 7707 And you will not tell me where that exile is, or if his daughter still lives?" |
| 7707 | Ay, and what? |
| 7707 | But his little girl surely remembers the name that he did not finish? |
| 7707 | But there must be parts that are prettier than others? 7707 But what is your life, Harley?--the saucer without the storm?" |
| 7707 | But you have not taken your degree, I think? 7707 But,"resumed the doctor, seriously,"you really feel a strong predisposition to make verses?" |
| 7707 | Can I have accommodation for the night? |
| 7707 | Did he pray to God? |
| 7707 | Do you know, that''s very well said, Audley? 7707 Does he mean to marry again?" |
| 7707 | Does she not let me see you? 7707 For good?" |
| 7707 | Hair chestnut; eyes-- what colour? 7707 How, my young friend? |
| 7707 | How, sir? |
| 7707 | In the next room? 7707 Is this the reason why Mr. Egerton so insultingly warns me against counting on his fortune?" |
| 7707 | Madame di Negra? 7707 May I go with him to the gate?" |
| 7707 | No relatives? |
| 7707 | Not stay here? 7707 Shall we be as happy when we are great?" |
| 7707 | Sir,said the butler, twirling the paper between his finger and thumb,"you''re not a going for long, I hope?" |
| 7707 | Then you would not have me call on him, sir? 7707 Well,"he said, seeing that she remained silent,"how can I hope, when this mighty genius laboured and despaired? |
| 7707 | Well; and what is your report of the calling? 7707 What can rob us of this joy? |
| 7707 | What do I care what men without are to say and think of the words that gush forth on my page? |
| 7707 | What is that, sir? |
| 7707 | What other doctor? |
| 7707 | What''s the matter? 7707 Whither?" |
| 7707 | Who is that very handsome woman? |
| 7707 | Why do you ask that, Helen? |
| 7707 | Why? |
| 7707 | Why? |
| 7707 | Will Mr. Egerton pay the young gentleman''s debts? 7707 Will you work at something practical and prosy, and let the poetry rest a while?" |
| 7707 | You have not told her? |
| 7707 | You say you walked up to London: was that from choice or economy? |
| 7707 | And I said,''Your little girl, sir?'' |
| 7707 | And Leonard''s heart rushed to his lips, and he answered to the action, as he bent down, and kissed her cheek,"Orphan, will you go with me? |
| 7707 | And did Shakspeare himself, in his life, ever hearken to such applause as thundered round the personators of his airy images? |
| 7707 | And had her father no money with him?" |
| 7707 | And have not we had enuff of bringing up children to be above their birth? |
| 7707 | And if a favour, should I take it? |
| 7707 | And the company? |
| 7707 | And the poor little girl seems to have no relations-- and where is she to go? |
| 7707 | And what was the host to do with her? |
| 7707 | And what would he say of her, if he could see her in heaven? |
| 7707 | BLANCHE.--"What is that legend? |
| 7707 | Born at the top of the social ladder, why should he put himself voluntarily at the last step, for the sake of climbing up again? |
| 7707 | But he left some of the tiniest little balls you ever see, sir, to give the child; but, bless you, they did her no good,--how should they?" |
| 7707 | But if I was not your mother, after all, Lenny, and cost you all this-- oh, what would you say of me then?" |
| 7707 | But it looks out of place by the roadside: what say you?" |
| 7707 | But was it love that you felt for her? |
| 7707 | But while we are talking of him, allow me to ask if your friend, Lord L''Estrange, is indeed still so bitter against that poor brother of mine?" |
| 7707 | But who could advise another man to set his whole hope of fortune on the chance of a prize in a lottery? |
| 7707 | But you have friends of your own in town?" |
| 7707 | But you will write to Mr. Dale or to me? |
| 7707 | DOCTOR.--"Pless me, you do? |
| 7707 | Did her father leave no directions, or was he in possession of his faculties?" |
| 7707 | Did not I tell you the story of Fortunio? |
| 7707 | Did you know my aunt?" |
| 7707 | Do n''t cry,""But what can you do in Lunnon,--such a big place, Lenny?" |
| 7707 | Do n''t you find it rather expensive in the Guards? |
| 7707 | Do you go to Almack''s to- night?" |
| 7707 | Do you mean to make this young man your heir?" |
| 7707 | Do you suppose Burns drinking at the alehouse, with his boors around him, was drinking, like them, only beer and whiskey? |
| 7707 | Enviable man, have you ever loved?" |
| 7707 | Every man''s brain must be a world in itself, eh? |
| 7707 | Every year does not some lad leave our village, and go and seek his fortune, taking with him but health and strong hands? |
| 7707 | For what parts in the skies have your studies on the earth fitted you? |
| 7707 | For, after all, what good are academical honours but as the entrance to life? |
| 7707 | HARLEY( recovering himself with an effort).--"Is it true kindness to bid him exchange manly independence for the protection of an official patron?" |
| 7707 | HARLEY( with great gravity).--"Do you believe in Mesmerism?" |
| 7707 | Had they other callings?" |
| 7707 | Has not a mother a right to her child?" |
| 7707 | Have you told this youth plainly that he may look to you for influence, but not for wealth?" |
| 7707 | Have you written to him?" |
| 7707 | He escaped; and how did he escape? |
| 7707 | He listened yet more intently, and caught, soft and low, the words,"Father, Father, do you hear me now?" |
| 7707 | He paused a moment, and added,"Is it that Nature is very patient?" |
| 7707 | He threw himself into the doctor''s own wellworn chair, and muttered to himself,"Why did he tell me to come? |
| 7707 | Helen sobbed aloud; then, writhing from the doctor, she exclaimed,"But he may know where I am? |
| 7707 | How knew they that I-- was-- was-- was not the child of wedlock?" |
| 7707 | Hush, what''s that? |
| 7707 | I wonder if that makes me an Honourable too? |
| 7707 | If you are a going back, sir, would you kindly mention it?" |
| 7707 | Is John Burley now of man''s common standard? |
| 7707 | Is that like a man of sense? |
| 7707 | Is this true?" |
| 7707 | Keep still, ca n''t you?" |
| 7707 | LEONARD.--"To the perch, sir?" |
| 7707 | Laryer Jones says we must pass her to Marybone parish, where her father lived last; and what''s to become of her then? |
| 7707 | Leslie?" |
| 7707 | Mr. Burley, is that you? |
| 7707 | Oh, my dear brother Leonard, will this find you well, and( more happy I dare not say, but) less sad than when we parted? |
| 7707 | Shall I find you one? |
| 7707 | She said,"Why, why did I leave you?" |
| 7707 | Should he not write now to order the box to be sent to her at Miss Starke''s? |
| 7707 | Staying in town, Randal?" |
| 7707 | The doctor did not expect that thanksgiving, and he was so startled that he exclaimed,"For what?" |
| 7707 | This lady is kind to you, then?" |
| 7707 | Time enough for that, eh? |
| 7707 | Under the rush and the roar of this fun( what word else shall describe it?) |
| 7707 | We may see each other sometimes? |
| 7707 | We were to share together,--you paid all; and how can I want it here, too?" |
| 7707 | Well, and what said Frank?" |
| 7707 | Well, why not?" |
| 7707 | What are the symptoms?" |
| 7707 | What could he do without me? |
| 7707 | What could public life give to one who needs nothing? |
| 7707 | What day will you fix?" |
| 7707 | What did he want, save birth and fortune and friends and human justice?" |
| 7707 | What did she there? |
| 7707 | What do you think of that pretty girl in pink?" |
| 7707 | What is the difference between being good and bad? |
| 7707 | What is the new one?" |
| 7707 | What new can he think of for me? |
| 7707 | What the deuce did he do there amongst prize- fighters and actors and poets? |
| 7707 | What young man could come into life with brighter auspices? |
| 7707 | When does he come?" |
| 7707 | Where shall I find a model? |
| 7707 | Who are you? |
| 7707 | Why do you disturb me? |
| 7707 | Why? |
| 7707 | Will this suit you?" |
| 7707 | Wilt thou sink? |
| 7707 | You know him?" |
| 7707 | You say there are parks: why should not we lodge near them and look upon the green trees?" |
| 7707 | You will come to me,''And my poem, how does it sell?'' |
| 7707 | are you intimately acquainted with this stream, sir?" |
| 7707 | cried Leonard, raising his brows, from which the cloud had passed,"why, indeed, did you leave me?" |
| 7707 | cried the Italian, with warmth;"what has my brother ever done to him that he should actually intrigue against the count in his own court?" |
| 7707 | it is she who is ill. Shall I go to her? |
| 7707 | oh, Father, do you not really hear me? |
| 7707 | said Leonard, mournfully, and after a long silence,--"no inquiries to learn who was the father of the motherless child?" |
| 7707 | said he;"surely the child must have some kinsfolk in London? |
| 7707 | what can I do for the orphan?" |
| 7707 | who is he, what is he? |
| 7707 | who is that?" |
| 7710 | /Entre nous, mon cher/, I care not a stiver for popularity; and as to suspicion, who is he that can escape from the calumny of the envious? 7710 Ah, Excellency, can you think so? |
| 7710 | Ah, you were next heir? |
| 7710 | And Harley too? |
| 7710 | And Helen-- Miss Digby-- is she much changed? |
| 7710 | And now may I see the young lady? 7710 And she answered?" |
| 7710 | And the padrone? |
| 7710 | And you consented? |
| 7710 | And you have not called to ascertain? |
| 7710 | And you really believe the young Englishman loves her? |
| 7710 | And you think not in any way swayed by interest in his affections? |
| 7710 | Aver-- untruly? |
| 7710 | But does she love Harley as he has dreamed of love? 7710 But perhaps,"suggests some candid and youthful conjecturer,--"perhaps Randal Leslie is in love with this fair creature?" |
| 7710 | But the heart? |
| 7710 | But,said the wife, after a grateful kiss,--"but where and how can we find a husband suitable to the rank of your daughter?" |
| 7710 | Can I set you down anywhere? |
| 7710 | Certainly,interposed Giacomo;"how could he dare to speak, let him love ever so well?" |
| 7710 | Certainly,said Spendquick, with great spirit,--"public property, or why should we pay them? |
| 7710 | Could you not conciliate him through his wife-- whom you resigned to him? |
| 7710 | Dear me, Leonard, will he want lunch-- or what? |
| 7710 | Did he know of your pretensions? |
| 7710 | Did he tell you that? |
| 7710 | Egerton is always the same man, I suppose,--too busy for illness, and too firm for sorrow? |
| 7710 | He is acquainted with the count''s kinsman; and perhaps from him you have learned to think so highly of that kinsman? |
| 7710 | He makes a sensation? |
| 7710 | How can I have any idea of it? |
| 7710 | How can you doubt it? 7710 How could I; who is like you?" |
| 7710 | How could she fail? |
| 7710 | How? 7710 How?" |
| 7710 | How? |
| 7710 | I shall see her again? |
| 7710 | Impossible; how could he discover you? |
| 7710 | In your case, what is that motive? 7710 Is it so?" |
| 7710 | Is my carriage here? |
| 7710 | May I not hope that you return under fairer auspices than those which your childhood knew? |
| 7710 | May I not keep this hand? |
| 7710 | No; the old woman who serves us said that she was asked at a shop''if we were not Italians''? |
| 7710 | Of yours, how can you ask me? 7710 Oh, my dear Lord, what else can it be? |
| 7710 | Oh,said Avenel,"public men, whom we pay, are public property,--aren''t they, my Lord?" |
| 7710 | Ordered you out of the room? 7710 Pressed upon you!---I? |
| 7710 | She has not yet read them, then?--not the last? 7710 Something that induces you to bestow your daughter on me?" |
| 7710 | That is all? |
| 7710 | To be sure-- of whom else? |
| 7710 | Very true; why, indeed? |
| 7710 | Well,said he,"I need not ask if you like Miss Digby? |
| 7710 | Well,said the count, with his most roue air,"I suppose we are both men of the world?" |
| 7710 | What could be so bad for the country? |
| 7710 | What makes you think so? |
| 7710 | What so interests you,/ma seuur/?--the last novel by Balzac, no doubt? |
| 7710 | Which road did you take? 7710 Why else should he come, Excellency?" |
| 7710 | Why, Harley, you love your country after all? |
| 7710 | Why, what do you know of him? |
| 7710 | Why? 7710 Will you excuse me for an instant? |
| 7710 | You are going to the Austrian Embassy? |
| 7710 | You have never been abroad, my dear sir? 7710 You know her?" |
| 7710 | You think so? |
| 7710 | You think, then, that the ministry really can not last? |
| 7710 | You think, then, that this poor kinsman will not need such an alliance in order to regain his estates? |
| 7710 | Your mother, where is she? 7710 /Parvenu!/ Ah, is it not strange, Leslie, that no wealth, no fashion, no fame can wipe out that blot? 7710 /Que diable!/ what could the independence of Italy do for him? 7710 A most desirable marriage; and, if made, I suppose that would suffice to obtain your cousin''s amnesty and grace? |
| 7710 | A young fellow like you could never be mean enough to stay in, under the very men who drove out your friend Egerton?" |
| 7710 | And do you think the people in the railway carriages care for you? |
| 7710 | And now, ere I go, one question more: You indulge conjectures as to Riccabocca, because he has changed his name,--why have you dropped your own?" |
| 7710 | And so you are once more in your native land?" |
| 7710 | And the first thing the clever schemer said to himself was this,"But what can be the man''s motive in what he said to me?" |
| 7710 | And what could she ever do for him? |
| 7710 | And what is supposed to bring hither the Count di Peschiera?" |
| 7710 | At length he faltered out,--"Can you think, sir, that I should ever desert your fortunes, your party, your cause?" |
| 7710 | Audley resumed:"And therefore, I presume that, in sending for me, you have something of moment to communicate?" |
| 7710 | Besides, as she said, she ca n''t wish, you to marry a foreigner; though once married, she would-- But how do you stand now with the marchesa? |
| 7710 | But from what reason did you assume the strange and fantastic name of Oran?" |
| 7710 | But is not there a new man much talked of at White''s?" |
| 7710 | But some Englishman of correspondent rank I trust, or at least one known for opinions opposed to what an Austrian would call Revolutionary doctrines?" |
| 7710 | But that might mean anything: what danger to himself would not menace her? |
| 7710 | But though you may help me, how can I help you?" |
| 7710 | By the way, I have had an interview with Peschiera--""About his sister''s debts?" |
| 7710 | Can the Austrian Court dictate a marriage to the daughter as a condition for grace to the father?" |
| 7710 | Can you be, at least, my comforter? |
| 7710 | Can you guess?" |
| 7710 | Did you pass the Simplon?" |
| 7710 | Do you know her too?" |
| 7710 | Do you think it an improvable property?" |
| 7710 | Fairfield?" |
| 7710 | Fond of dancing, of course, sir?" |
| 7710 | Had his daughter the remotest probability of becoming the greatest heiress in Italy, would he dream of bestowing her on me in this off- hand way? |
| 7710 | Has she consented to accept you?" |
| 7710 | Has she the power and energy to arouse his faculties, and restore to the world the Harley of old? |
| 7710 | Hast thou the charm and the force of the moon, that the tides of that wayward sea shall ebb and flow at thy will? |
| 7710 | Have you ever met in England the kinsman you speak of?" |
| 7710 | Have you heard from the Hall lately?" |
| 7710 | Have you not decided on that yourself?" |
| 7710 | Helen, here I ask you, can you be all this, and under the name of-- Wife?" |
| 7710 | How can I dream that one so beautiful, so peerless, will confirm the hope you have extended to me?" |
| 7710 | How d''ye do, Mr. Leslie? |
| 7710 | How was it?" |
| 7710 | I visited her often, directed her studies, watched her improvement--""And fell in love with her?" |
| 7710 | I wonder why? |
| 7710 | If ever you have so far departed from the Lucretian philosophy, just look back-- was it life at all that you lived? |
| 7710 | Innocent? |
| 7710 | Is the hope so mean, my fond mother?" |
| 7710 | Is this all?" |
| 7710 | L''Estrange started; and as Randal again took his arm, said,"So that Italian lodges here; and you know him?" |
| 7710 | L20,000 down-- how to get the sum? |
| 7710 | LADY LANSMERE.--"I do, I do? |
| 7710 | Leslie?" |
| 7710 | May I think that we have now an interest in common?" |
| 7710 | My own dear and noble friend!--is it possible? |
| 7710 | Not that of pecuniary or ambitious calculations; for how can such calculations enlist you on behalf of a ruined exile? |
| 7710 | Pressed what?" |
| 7710 | Shall we be friends?" |
| 7710 | Shall we now join Madame la Marquise?" |
| 7710 | Then he said,"And town gossip?" |
| 7710 | Was that easy?" |
| 7710 | Were you ever in public life, my dear reader? |
| 7710 | What am I, then?" |
| 7710 | What do you say?" |
| 7710 | What has occurred?" |
| 7710 | What is Egerton''s?" |
| 7710 | What is?" |
| 7710 | What lady is that I see at the far end of the garden?" |
| 7710 | What other motive can he possibly have? |
| 7710 | What remains? |
| 7710 | What the deuce did he do there? |
| 7710 | What the deuce is the matter with the stoker?" |
| 7710 | Who can he be? |
| 7710 | Who would not?" |
| 7710 | Why is this? |
| 7710 | Why should I go out too? |
| 7710 | Why should Levy have spoken to me of this?" |
| 7710 | Why should he shun you?" |
| 7710 | Why were these works the object of the sage''s study? |
| 7710 | Why? |
| 7710 | Will not the blossoms, yet folded in the petal, wither away beneath the shade that may protect them from the storm, and yet shut them from the sun? |
| 7710 | Would not that suffice? |
| 7710 | Yet who shall say, who conjecture how near two hearts can become, when no guilt lies between them, and time brings the ties all its own? |
| 7710 | You agree with me?" |
| 7710 | You ask me why I think there will be a general election so soon? |
| 7710 | You have heard her play and sing?" |
| 7710 | You know him?" |
| 7710 | You see, therefore, why I have so great an interest in this research?" |
| 7710 | You wanted to speak to me, Frank?" |
| 7710 | You will wait for him?" |
| 7710 | Your rank, your position--""Why should they be eternally my curse? |
| 7710 | how?" |
| 7709 | Ah, Randal, Randal, is this the frankness of friendship? 7709 Ah, dear father, that, then, was your thought? |
| 7709 | Ah, why not also confide in her? 7709 Ah,"said Randal, inquisitively,"you told me you had come in contact with him once, respecting, I think, some of your old parishioners at Lansmere?" |
| 7709 | And Mr. Levy was there, eh? |
| 7709 | And for what end? |
| 7709 | And if the padrone were to meet him, do you think the padrone would meekly say,''Come sta sa Signoria''? 7709 And my own portion? |
| 7709 | And perhaps,resumed Mrs. Hazeldean, with a very sunny expression of countenance,"you have noticed this in Frank since he was here?" |
| 7709 | And the emperor consented? |
| 7709 | And what made me lose so important, though so ineffectual an ally? |
| 7709 | And what work interests you so much? |
| 7709 | And you would marry Frank if the dower was secured? |
| 7709 | Are you a fool, child? 7709 At my poor father''s death? |
| 7709 | Because she is a foreigner? |
| 7709 | But do you not overrate the value of my aid? |
| 7709 | But grant that my heart shrunk from the task you imposed on me, would it not have been natural? 7709 But how can I aid this marriage?" |
| 7709 | But how win that in despite of the father? |
| 7709 | But if she had rank and title? |
| 7709 | But if the count is in town? |
| 7709 | But still,she said coldly,"you enjoy one half of those ample revenues: why talk, then, of suicide and ruin?" |
| 7709 | But who can stand against such wealth as Egerton''s,--no doubt backed, too, by the Treasury purse? |
| 7709 | But why? 7709 Can you doubt it?" |
| 7709 | Character-- ah, that is indispensable? |
| 7709 | Did I blush? |
| 7709 | Ha, Randal, boy,said Mr. Leslie, looking up lazily,"how d''ye do? |
| 7709 | How can a man know general principles unless he has first studied the details? 7709 How?" |
| 7709 | I enjoy them at the pleasure of the crown; and what if it be the pleasure of the crown to recall our cousin, and reinstate him in his possessions? |
| 7709 | Is he poor, or is he extravagant? |
| 7709 | Is it so uncommon to take interest even in a stranger who is menaced by some peril? |
| 7709 | Is it so? 7709 Is that all?" |
| 7709 | Me-- and why? 7709 Mine? |
| 7709 | Money? |
| 7709 | My dear, dear Randal, how can I thank you? 7709 My mother--[so Violante always called Jemima]--my mother-- you have spoken to her?" |
| 7709 | My sister,replied the count,"do I look like a man who saved? |
| 7709 | No; have you? |
| 7709 | Nor heard of him? |
| 7709 | Now you upbraid me,said the count, unruffled by her sudden passion,"because I gave you in marriage to a man young and noble?" |
| 7709 | O Father, can you resist this? 7709 Oh, that was all; some affair when I was member for Lansmere?" |
| 7709 | Out with what, my dear madam? 7709 Pardieu, my dear sister, what else could his Majesty do? |
| 7709 | Sir, I thank you sincerely,said Riccabocca, with emotion;"but am I not safe here?" |
| 7709 | Speak- a- you Italian? |
| 7709 | Suppose he were to marry? |
| 7709 | The Riccaboccas? 7709 The father had, then, taken part in some political disaffections, and was proscribed?" |
| 7709 | There is a probability, then, of that pardon? 7709 Well, but Leonard Fairfield-- you have seen him since?" |
| 7709 | Were you? 7709 What on earth makes you think so?" |
| 7709 | What shall I be now, if I live? 7709 What then? |
| 7709 | When does young Thornhill come of age? |
| 7709 | Who might, perhaps,observed Randal-- not truly, if he referred to Madame di Negra--"who might, perhaps, speak very little English?" |
| 7709 | Who the devil would? |
| 7709 | Who''s else can he be? 7709 Who''s that? |
| 7709 | Why naturally? |
| 7709 | Why not allude to them? |
| 7709 | Why not? |
| 7709 | You do n''t like a foreigner and a Catholic? |
| 7709 | You must have an Englishwoman? |
| 7709 | You saw the emperor? |
| 7709 | You speak of Madame di Negra? 7709 You will restore my fortune?" |
| 7709 | Ah, is it that I then read but books, and now my knowledge has passed onward, and men contaminate more than books? |
| 7709 | Ah,"said Randal, with a long- drawn breath, and recovering from his sudden enthusiasm,"about L20,000? |
| 7709 | Am I not your daughter,--the descendant of men who never feared?" |
| 7709 | And now, Frank, what say you-- would it not be well if I ran down to Hazeldean to sound your parents? |
| 7709 | And who prizes the wise man if he fails?" |
| 7709 | And who, amongst all your adorers, can offer you a lot so really enviable as the one whom, I see by your blush, you already guess that I refer to?" |
| 7709 | And whom did you meet at Hazeldean?" |
| 7709 | And you really believe you could smooth matters?" |
| 7709 | And your father thinks that the squire may leave you a legacy?" |
| 7709 | Any quarrel about tithes?" |
| 7709 | Are you serious?" |
| 7709 | But as to a profession, what is he fit for? |
| 7709 | But as to the marchesa''s affections,"continued Frank, with a faltering voice,"do you really and honestly believe that they are to be won by me?" |
| 7709 | But how is it instructive?" |
| 7709 | But what Cimon would not be refined by so fair an Iphigenia? |
| 7709 | But what can be your reason? |
| 7709 | But who else has done so?" |
| 7709 | But with such self- conquest, how is it that you can not contrive to live within the bounds of a very liberal allowance?" |
| 7709 | But yet, would it not be better,"added Levy, with emphasis,"to borrow it without interest, of your friend L''Estrange?" |
| 7709 | But you mean the loftiest?" |
| 7709 | But you will let us know when he comes?" |
| 7709 | By- the- by, what do you suppose the Hazeldean rental is worth-- net?" |
| 7709 | Certainly, she is two or three years older than you; but if you can get over that misfortune, why not marry her?" |
| 7709 | Could it be possible, if he obtained any interview with the signora, that he could win her affections?" |
| 7709 | DALE.--"Is the author known yet?" |
| 7709 | Do books help?" |
| 7709 | Do n''t you see that it was for your sake only I feared, and would be cautious?" |
| 7709 | Do you know the Count of Peschiera?" |
| 7709 | Do you not trust your secret to me?" |
| 7709 | FRANK.--"What? |
| 7709 | Fatherless and motherless, whom had my childhood to love and obey but you?" |
| 7709 | Good heavens, sir, does he mean to marry a Hindoo?" |
| 7709 | Has he seen the girl yet? |
| 7709 | Have you any other commands?" |
| 7709 | Have you not sadly failed me in the task I imposed on your regard for my interests? |
| 7709 | He has confided that which I told him this day?" |
| 7709 | How can I know it now? |
| 7709 | How can I think of farmyards when you talk of Frank''s marriage? |
| 7709 | How can you talk such nonsense? |
| 7709 | How dare you?" |
| 7709 | How does one learn it? |
| 7709 | How have I shown hatred? |
| 7709 | How?" |
| 7709 | How?" |
| 7709 | Hum,--were you in your own room or the ante- room?" |
| 7709 | I am curious to learn what?" |
| 7709 | I can not say to the man who wooes me,''Will you pay the debts of the daughter of Franzini, and the widow of Di Negra?''" |
| 7709 | I grant, sir, that I know the Count di Peschiera; but what has Dr. Riccabocca to do with the kinsman of so grand a personage?" |
| 7709 | If not-- ah, he is of a character that perplexes me in all but his worldly ambition; and how can we foreigners influence him through THAT?" |
| 7709 | In a word, have you been in earnest,--or have you not had some womanly pleasure in amusing yourself and abusing my trust?" |
| 7709 | In what have I distrusted you? |
| 7709 | Is it not some years since you first came to England on the mission of discovering these worthy relations of ours? |
| 7709 | Is the squire not on good terms with his parson? |
| 7709 | Italian!---that''s all, is it?" |
| 7709 | Juliet, have you seen Jenny? |
| 7709 | Leslie?" |
| 7709 | Leslie?" |
| 7709 | Let that content him; what more does he desire? |
| 7709 | Meanwhile, if it be not impertinent, pray, where is Enlightenment marching to?" |
| 7709 | Now, tell me, Giacomo, is this count really unprincipled and dangerous? |
| 7709 | PARSON( overjoyed).--"Power!--the vulgarest application of it, or the loftiest? |
| 7709 | PARSON( pricking up his ears).--"Eh?--what to?" |
| 7709 | PARSON.--"How should they be read in order to help?" |
| 7709 | PARSON.--"Pray, Mr. Leslie, what does intellectual power refined to the utmost, but entirely stripped of beneficence, most resemble?" |
| 7709 | PARSON.--"So is the''Vicar of Wakefield;''yet what book more instructive?" |
| 7709 | PARSON.--"What of?" |
| 7709 | Pray, Sir, what knowledge is in power?" |
| 7709 | RANDAL( in his turn interested and interrogative).--"What do you call the loftiest, and what the vulgarest?" |
| 7709 | RANDAL( startled).--"Do you mean the Devil?" |
| 7709 | RANDAL.--"Allow me to inquire if, had the kinsman no child, the Count di Peschiera would be legitimate and natural heir to the estates he holds?" |
| 7709 | RANDAL.--"Does that thought suggest no danger to the child of the kinsman?" |
| 7709 | RANDAL.--"Is it possible? |
| 7709 | RANDAL.--"Miss Sticktorights?" |
| 7709 | RANDAL.--"Must an author be handsome?" |
| 7709 | RANDAL.--"Would you be as averse to such a notion as Mr. Hazeldean is?" |
| 7709 | RICCABOCCA( startled).--"How?" |
| 7709 | RICCABOCCA.--"He would-- What then?" |
| 7709 | RICCOBOCCA.--"YOU come from London? |
| 7709 | So Randal looked at him in surprise, and said,"Do you, Sir?---why?" |
| 7709 | Surely you know too well the nature of your kinsman?" |
| 7709 | Then retreating a step, but laying his hand on the exile''s shoulder, he added,"Need I say that your secret is safe with me?" |
| 7709 | Then you would not listen to the count if he proposed some amicable compromise,--if, for instance, he was a candidate for the hand of your daughter?" |
| 7709 | There''s no such painted good- for- nothing creature in Frank''s eye, eh?" |
| 7709 | What can any instruction do more? |
| 7709 | What did he say of me?" |
| 7709 | What matters? |
| 7709 | What were you saying about prejudices?" |
| 7709 | What would become of Hamlet? |
| 7709 | What would you?" |
| 7709 | When do you want the L5,000?" |
| 7709 | When shall we go?" |
| 7709 | Where''s Jenny? |
| 7709 | Who could have expected you? |
| 7709 | Who ever thinks of Petrarch as the old, timeworn man? |
| 7709 | Who so true, so good?" |
| 7709 | Why do you take this interest in him?" |
| 7709 | Why?" |
| 7709 | Will you aid me then, yes or no? |
| 7709 | You do not mean to imply that this man, infamous though he be, can contemplate the crime of an assassin?" |
| 7709 | You go thither, you pretend to search the capital, the provinces, Switzerland,/que sais je/? |
| 7709 | You have no designs upon that too?" |
| 7709 | You know the Austrian policy is proverbially so jealous and tyrannical?" |
| 7709 | You spoke of forestalling danger; what danger? |
| 7709 | You trust to me now?" |
| 7709 | You understand?" |
| 7709 | Your master confides in you? |
| 7709 | can you think so poorly of me? |
| 7709 | do n''t you think it would be the best way? |
| 7709 | is your master ill?" |
| 7709 | quoth the squire, stopping short,--"what now?" |
| 7709 | repeated Riccabocca, startled and conscience- stricken;"why do you say''trust''? |
| 7709 | said the count, with a visible impatience;"is there anything in the attainment of your object that should render you indifferent to mine? |
| 7709 | that snuffy, tiresome, prosy professor? |
| 7709 | what, indeed, do I owe to you? |
| 7709 | where?" |
| 7709 | you are a handsome fellow, and your expectations are great-- why do n''t you marry some woman with money?" |
| 7711 | /Que voulez- vous/? |
| 7711 | A long step back-- and to what? 7711 About me, sir?" |
| 7711 | Ah, Mother,said Leonard, sadly,"it is a long tale; you have heard the beginning, who can guess the end?" |
| 7711 | Ah, the now is the grand question in life, the then is obsolete, gone by,--out of fashion; and now,/mon cher/, you come to ask my advice? |
| 7711 | Am I not so? |
| 7711 | And how, then, has what seems to me so obvious never occurred to you? |
| 7711 | And in that case must the Government resign, sir? |
| 7711 | And now,said Harley, rising, and with his candid, winning smile,"do you think we shall ever be friends?" |
| 7711 | And she will accept Frank? |
| 7711 | And these debts do n''t startle you? |
| 7711 | And what avails it? |
| 7711 | And when shall I see you again? |
| 7711 | And where,said Randal, with an iron smile,"are the L20,000 you ascribe to me to come from?" |
| 7711 | And why have you left your home in-----shire, and why this new change of name? |
| 7711 | And you do n''t know the lady''s friends, or address? |
| 7711 | Are you coming, there? |
| 7711 | Are you serious? |
| 7711 | Are you sure? |
| 7711 | Before I speak of my business, tell me how you are,--better? |
| 7711 | But how can I serve Riccabocca? 7711 But if the question at issue comes before the House, you will vote against it?" |
| 7711 | But who is the man whom the fair Beatrice has thus honoured? 7711 But whom can the exile possibly have seen of birth and fortunes to render him a fitting spouse for his daughter? |
| 7711 | But why lose me my heritage? 7711 Can not I go with Miss Digby?" |
| 7711 | Did Frank tell you I was next of kin? |
| 7711 | Did I not tell you? |
| 7711 | Did he? 7711 Dinner? |
| 7711 | Does it exist still? 7711 For him,--for whom? |
| 7711 | For what sum? |
| 7711 | Going to have a son,repeated Harley, looking very bewildered;"how do you know it is to be a son?" |
| 7711 | Ha!--is this indeed so? 7711 Has Hazeldean consented to the post- obit?" |
| 7711 | Have you any personal interest in the question? |
| 7711 | He took my child- angel from me,said Leonard, with visible emotion;"and if she had not returned, where and what should I be now? |
| 7711 | How can you suppose that I will hear of such a proposition? 7711 How can your woman eyes be so dull, and your woman heart so obtuse?" |
| 7711 | How do you know that? |
| 7711 | I-- when? |
| 7711 | If Audley''s affairs are as you state, what can he do? |
| 7711 | Is it possible,thought he as he spoke,"that a Randal Leslie could have charmed this grand creature? |
| 7711 | La, my love,said the good Jemima,"that is not like you; you are not envious of her, poor girl?" |
| 7711 | Mr. Hazeldean,said the latter, in a low tone,"will you come into the drawing- room?" |
| 7711 | My dear Violante? |
| 7711 | Nay, that can not be true, or why is it so popular? |
| 7711 | Nay,she said,"your son and I are such old friends, how could you stand on ceremony with me?" |
| 7711 | No other way? |
| 7711 | Nor who recommended her to your wife? |
| 7711 | Of what? |
| 7711 | Of whom? |
| 7711 | Oh,she said, clasping her hands,"is this true? |
| 7711 | Pardon me a rude question; but what do you know of the world? |
| 7711 | Perhaps you came with him from Italy? |
| 7711 | Probably Lady Jane Horton? |
| 7711 | Randal Leslie? 7711 Then what made you look so angry, my dear fellow? |
| 7711 | There are others, then? |
| 7711 | Well,said Dick, slowly,"I suppose he is pleasant, but make the best of it-- and still--""Still what, my dear Avenel?" |
| 7711 | What are the numbers? 7711 What do women know about politics? |
| 7711 | What is the alternative, sir? 7711 What is the sum?" |
| 7711 | What is this?---an execution? |
| 7711 | What passions? 7711 What was L''Estrange saying to you?" |
| 7711 | What young man? |
| 7711 | When? 7711 Where, in the loftiest houses of Europe, find a husband worthy of such a prize?" |
| 7711 | Who doubts that? 7711 Why impossible, fair sceptic?" |
| 7711 | Why should this young man have so sounded me as to Violante''s chance of losing fortune if she married, an Englishman? |
| 7711 | Why that sigh, my dear mother? |
| 7711 | Why? 7711 Why?" |
| 7711 | Will he not? |
| 7711 | Will you come with us? |
| 7711 | Would a contest there cost very much? |
| 7711 | You accept-- you accept me-- and of your own free will and choice? |
| 7711 | You are a friend to the present ministers? 7711 You are his ward,--Lord L''Estrange''s?" |
| 7711 | You are sure, then, that the Government will be outvoted? |
| 7711 | You can not be serious? 7711 You do not love me?" |
| 7711 | You do not remember it then,said Leonard to Helen, in accents of melancholy reproach,--"there where I saw you last? |
| 7711 | You think we are right, Harley? |
| 7711 | You, my dear Hazeldean? 7711 /A propos/, have you spoken to my father, as you undertook to do? |
| 7711 | A blank, however, it has turned out, and the question becomes grave,--What are you to do?" |
| 7711 | Ah, do you suppose that; all the while I have been conversing with you, I have not noticed the watchful gaze of Mr. Randal Leslie? |
| 7711 | Am I a simpleton now?" |
| 7711 | Am I so very-- very child- like?" |
| 7711 | And if I did-- if I lost L10,000--what then? |
| 7711 | And now what think you of Helen Digby? |
| 7711 | And talking of that, shall I present you to my Jemima?" |
| 7711 | And this word"brother,"once so precious and so dear, why did he shrink from it now; why could he not too say the sweet word"sister"? |
| 7711 | And what was the answer he got?" |
| 7711 | And who is your friend? |
| 7711 | And why not come yourself?" |
| 7711 | And you do not know her heart, then? |
| 7711 | Any more wine? |
| 7711 | Are you as kind as if she were the great heiress you believe Violante to be?" |
| 7711 | Are you ashamed to retract? |
| 7711 | Are you ill?" |
| 7711 | Bertram?" |
| 7711 | Besides, how live in the mean while?" |
| 7711 | Better do it yourself; reason enough for it, that he has confided to you his hope, and asked you to help him; why should not you? |
| 7711 | Burley?" |
| 7711 | But I must again ask, Are you better now?" |
| 7711 | But art thou quite sure that when thou hast tried to think thou hast always succeeded? |
| 7711 | But do n''t you think Leonard and Miss Digby seem born for each other? |
| 7711 | But do you know any of her relations or friends? |
| 7711 | But for Frank Hazeldean''s mode of getting rid of the dross, when gone, what would be left to tell the tale? |
| 7711 | But if Leonard had heard Dick Avenel, what would have been his amaze? |
| 7711 | But the Bar does not seem to please you?" |
| 7711 | But to leave the very day after your friend''s daughter comes as a guest!--what will she think of it?" |
| 7711 | But what avails it? |
| 7711 | But what do you know of him? |
| 7711 | But what guarantee have I that this money will be paid, these estates made mine upon the conditions stipulated?" |
| 7711 | But when I ask,''Is that your advice?'' |
| 7711 | But when he awoke the next morning, he said to himself,"What-- what will they say at the Hall?" |
| 7711 | But why will you call me child? |
| 7711 | But why would you be friends with me?" |
| 7711 | But you really think I might come in for Lansmere,--against the L''Estrange interest, too, which must be strong there?" |
| 7711 | But you would know the author of this book? |
| 7711 | Can you not advance the requisite sum?" |
| 7711 | Can you not understand that I wish for one minute to think that you are at home again under this roof?" |
| 7711 | Can you suggest any mode of tracing this packet, if it came to her hands?" |
| 7711 | Did you break your doll?" |
| 7711 | Did you recognize no family likeness?--none in those eyes, Mother?" |
| 7711 | Do you forget that I am engaged,--and of my own free will and choice? |
| 7711 | Do you like him?" |
| 7711 | Do you think he wears a toupet? |
| 7711 | Do you? |
| 7711 | FRANK( lazily).--"From whom?" |
| 7711 | HARLEY.--"And what undeceived you? |
| 7711 | HARLEY.--"Why, my dear Helen?" |
| 7711 | HARLEY.--"YOU puzzle me: what can they be?" |
| 7711 | HELEN( archly).--"Are you as absent as ever?" |
| 7711 | Harley conversed with Helen.--"You are not sorry that Violante is coming to us? |
| 7711 | Has not this ever occurred to you?" |
| 7711 | Hast thou not often been duped by that pale visionary simulacrum of thought which goes by the name of revery? |
| 7711 | Have I not seen you one; have I not held you in my arms?" |
| 7711 | Hazeldean?" |
| 7711 | He professes to like you, I suppose?" |
| 7711 | How can I be mistaken?" |
| 7711 | How can I raise such a sum?" |
| 7711 | How does that stand?" |
| 7711 | How have I become so? |
| 7711 | How is that possible?" |
| 7711 | How otherwise can I aid him? |
| 7711 | How?" |
| 7711 | I believed in her guilt-- and what could now avail her remorse, if remorse she felt? |
| 7711 | I guess-- the young author?" |
| 7711 | I ought to go down to the governor''s; but then if he gets into a passion, and refuses his consent, where am I? |
| 7711 | I wonder why?" |
| 7711 | If I wished to know the retreat of Dr. Riccabocca, in order to render him a great service, would you confide to me that secret?" |
| 7711 | In order to rest and enjoy, what will content you?" |
| 7711 | Into whose hands would it have fallen? |
| 7711 | Is it from the cruelty natural to the female disposition?" |
| 7711 | Is that the natural conduct of a lover?" |
| 7711 | Is the home too mean?" |
| 7711 | LEONARD( evading the word that implied so forbidden an affinity).--"Helen, will you grant me a favour? |
| 7711 | Leonard, I think you would rejoice at an occasion to serve your old friends, Dr. Riccabocca and his daughter?" |
| 7711 | Leslie?" |
| 7711 | Love?" |
| 7711 | May I know?" |
| 7711 | May I?" |
| 7711 | Might he calculate on reaping help by the bushel if he sowed it by the handful? |
| 7711 | Miss Violante, is the doll to have blue eyes or black?" |
| 7711 | Mrs.--why do you ask?" |
| 7711 | Not Lord L''Estrange?" |
| 7711 | Oh, sage in theory, why are you such a simpleton in action?" |
| 7711 | Only""Only, you would say, I am going out of power, and you do n''t see the chance of my return?" |
| 7711 | Peschiera has the property?" |
| 7711 | RANDAL( with his soft hollow laugh).--"You mean borrowing money upon more than five per cent?" |
| 7711 | Randal thought of that dry witticism in Gibbon,"Abu Rafe says he will be witness for this fact, but who will be witness for Abu Rafe?" |
| 7711 | She had half a mind to reply,"Is that so strange?" |
| 7711 | She took a book from the table as she spoke:"Have you seen this work?" |
| 7711 | Should I not have to listen to regrets and hopes and fears that would prick sharp through my thin cloak of philosophy? |
| 7711 | So Randal went on,"May I say what I have heard expressed with regard to you and your position-- in the streets, in the clubs?" |
| 7711 | Sometimes those praises seem to ask ironically,"And what right hast thou to hope because thou lovest? |
| 7711 | Such a sum-- for what?--for a mere piece of information? |
| 7711 | The security too bad; what security?" |
| 7711 | The sum is large, no doubt; it answers to me to give it to you; does it answer to you to receive it?" |
| 7711 | The widow saw the smile, and catching Leonard by the arm, whispered,"But where before have you seen that pretty young lady? |
| 7711 | Then that young man spoke truly?" |
| 7711 | VIOLANTE( turning to Helen, and in a very low voice, resolved that Harley should not hear this time).--"We can guess why,--can we not?" |
| 7711 | Was Lord L''Estrange really enamoured of the marchesa? |
| 7711 | Was it sufficiently obvious that Levy counted on an adequate return? |
| 7711 | Was there no lady well acquainted with Italian, and with whom, perhaps, for that very reason, your wife became familiar?" |
| 7711 | Was this finesse compatible with Randal''s notions of Harley''s character? |
| 7711 | What are you talking about? |
| 7711 | What is the division?" |
| 7711 | What right have I to such kindness, save my name of Leslie?" |
| 7711 | What say you,--shall it be so?" |
| 7711 | What say you?" |
| 7711 | What will Jemima say?" |
| 7711 | When does Almack''s open?" |
| 7711 | Where was it likely Violante should go but to the Lansmeres? |
| 7711 | Where, then, the danger? |
| 7711 | Who would care for a fox''s brush if it had not been rendered a prize by the excitement of the chase?" |
| 7711 | Who''s the man? |
| 7711 | Whom, my Lord, except yourself?" |
| 7711 | Why ca n''t you speak?" |
| 7711 | Why not arrange that, out of this sum, your anticipative charge on the Casino property be paid at once? |
| 7711 | Will we not? |
| 7711 | Will you lay aside, for one minute, your shawl and bonnet? |
| 7711 | Will you not arrange that he call on her? |
| 7711 | Will you tell Peschiera where the young lady is, or shall I? |
| 7711 | With such a rival what chance had he? |
| 7711 | With the loss of that place, Randal lost all means of support, save what Audley could give him; and if Audley were in truth ruined? |
| 7711 | Would he walk upstairs? |
| 7711 | You can now tell us where the young lady is?" |
| 7711 | You could not wish them to be mean enough to stay in?" |
| 7711 | You have none?" |
| 7711 | You know him?" |
| 7711 | You would save me from disgrace, from a prison-- and what can I give you in return? |
| 7711 | Your wife knew her?" |
| 7711 | can you be surprised that I ask it? |
| 7711 | exclaimed Harley;"again; thrice in one day!-- is this wound never to scar over?" |
| 7711 | has nothing been said as to the division?" |
| 7711 | mon cher/, do you think I am a blockhead?" |
| 7711 | my dear fellow, what is the matter? |
| 7711 | said the poor Frenchman, profoundly dejected;''and if so, where shall I spend my evenings?''" |
| 7711 | that is the fair creature whom Leonard called his child- angel? |
| 7712 | ''Nothing can be better,''did you say, sir? |
| 7712 | After all,thought he,"why not? |
| 7712 | Am I such a mean miser as that? 7712 And good character?" |
| 7712 | And what then? |
| 7712 | And you feel sure that the squire can not be coaxed into consent? |
| 7712 | And your own/protege/, this Vandal Leslie, whom you forbid me to dislike-- hard task!--what has he decided? |
| 7712 | Are you speaking of the wife of a Hazeldean? 7712 Are you sure?" |
| 7712 | Audley, my dear, dear Audley, is it you who speak to me thus? 7712 Ay, I understand,--the post- obit?" |
| 7712 | But where was the honour when he betrayed his friend? 7712 But why?" |
| 7712 | But you will be home before Jane and her husband Mark come? 7712 By your honour, sir?" |
| 7712 | Come to write squibs for the election? |
| 7712 | Consult my distant brother on the affairs of my own son? |
| 7712 | Dale? 7712 Do you remember that when you first came to England, I told you that neither wedlock nor love had any lures for me? |
| 7712 | Foiled with Madame di Negra? |
| 7712 | Have you a grief, and under the shelter of my father''s roof,--a grief that you will not tell to me? 7712 Have you discovered those documents yet?" |
| 7712 | Have you the packet? 7712 He dines with you at your hotel, Squire? |
| 7712 | He? 7712 How harm?" |
| 7712 | How? |
| 7712 | I am sure he did; and no wonder, for she looks every inch a lady; and why should not she be my lady, after all? |
| 7712 | I safe-- and from what? |
| 7712 | Is Baron Levy still waiting? |
| 7712 | Is she dying? |
| 7712 | My dear marchesa,''I said he,are we then likely to be near connections? |
| 7712 | Of her-- of whom? |
| 7712 | Oh, Mr. Egerton, may I not say where you may find that father-- who he is? |
| 7712 | Oh, has it come to this? 7712 Speak-- what is the matter? |
| 7712 | Tablespoonful? |
| 7712 | The Brent-- you know that brook? 7712 Under what strange taboo am I placed?" |
| 7712 | Well, Levy, how shall it be? |
| 7712 | What are you sighing and shaking your head for? |
| 7712 | What is it I have heard? 7712 What is that?" |
| 7712 | What is the matter? 7712 What lives ever?" |
| 7712 | What of her? 7712 What of him? |
| 7712 | Where are you going? 7712 Who is there?" |
| 7712 | Why say six months? |
| 7712 | Would the future Lady L''Estrange feel no jealousy of a guest so fair as you tell me this young signorina is? 7712 ''What''s become of your poor donkey?'' 7712 A part? 7712 Ah, Helen, if I am at times cold or wayward, bear with me-- bear with me; for you love me, do you not? |
| 7712 | Ah, can I now ask you to save my son from the awful news, you yourself the sufferer? |
| 7712 | Ah, is it possible? |
| 7712 | Ah, where was Helen? |
| 7712 | Alas? |
| 7712 | And Mr. Dale, why should be reveal the dishonour of a family? |
| 7712 | And can you seriously contemplate marriage with my young nephew, Frank Hazeldean? |
| 7712 | And had he been Harley''s son, would not Harley have guessed it at once, and so guessing, have owned and claimed him? |
| 7712 | And how never confide it to me?" |
| 7712 | And if, in a few months, those seats were swept away-- were annihilated from the rolls of parliament-- where was he? |
| 7712 | And stay, William: as to this foolish marriage with Madame di Negra,--who told you Frank meant to take such a step?" |
| 7712 | And then what would be the feelings of the proud Egerton if his wife were excluded from that world whose opinion he so prized? |
| 7712 | And was Harley L''Estrange a man capable of such wrong? |
| 7712 | And what am I? |
| 7712 | And what other opportunity can occur? |
| 7712 | And what, Leonard-- what do you think had misled him? |
| 7712 | And who are you, signor? |
| 7712 | And would it not be right, at least, to learn the name of the child''s father? |
| 7712 | And would you be in no danger yourself, my poor friend?" |
| 7712 | Are you ill?" |
| 7712 | BARON.--"Certainly, or how could you be induced to buy it up? |
| 7712 | Bless me, do you see a ghost?" |
| 7712 | Break what news; recover what shock?" |
| 7712 | But Hate-- how detect, and how guard against it? |
| 7712 | But my poor cousin( he was never a Solomon) has got hold, he says, of a homely-- homely--- What''s the word, Parson?" |
| 7712 | But now, where is Hate? |
| 7712 | But what can one do with a stomach that has not a rag of its coats left? |
| 7712 | But what is your notion about Frank? |
| 7712 | But where have you seen me?" |
| 7712 | But who the teuce are these people?" |
| 7712 | But why? |
| 7712 | But you are busy?" |
| 7712 | But you think you could talk her out of the Pope, and into the family pew?" |
| 7712 | But, then, what harm does the hate do us? |
| 7712 | Can it be possible?" |
| 7712 | Can there be anything in such a theory?" |
| 7712 | Come in; but be quiet, ca n''t you? |
| 7712 | Could Audley say this? |
| 7712 | Could he ever forgive you?" |
| 7712 | Could she ever, ever again be, his child- angel? |
| 7712 | Did Nora already discover this? |
| 7712 | Did he not tell you so?" |
| 7712 | Did not she know that?" |
| 7712 | Did you ever feel the want of a home?" |
| 7712 | Did you say there was no hope?" |
| 7712 | Do they not make four? |
| 7712 | Do you fear that your guardian would not consent? |
| 7712 | Do you know so little of your father as to suppose that he will suffer his interest to dictate to his pride? |
| 7712 | Do you really think Randal Leslie calculated for public life-- for a parliamentary career?" |
| 7712 | Do you see those men? |
| 7712 | Do you think this woman was unfeeling and inhuman? |
| 7712 | Do you think, sir, that he ever knew-- ever saw-- my mother?" |
| 7712 | EGERTON.--"Ay,--and how?" |
| 7712 | Forgive me, but why is this wicked? |
| 7712 | Had she not been too credulous, too hasty? |
| 7712 | Has your emperor the heart of a man?" |
| 7712 | Has your son displeased you? |
| 7712 | Have you anything further to say?" |
| 7712 | He had even said to himself,"And is it the child of these persons that I, Audley Egerton, must announce to the world as wife?" |
| 7712 | He has signed a postobit?" |
| 7712 | He inclined to confide to her the danger which her father had concealed; but had he the right to do so against her father''s will? |
| 7712 | He is young, our friend Randal; eh, sir?" |
| 7712 | He not consent? |
| 7712 | He re- collected himself, and added, more coldly,"You would ask my opinion? |
| 7712 | Helen, by the way, have you mentioned to Violante the bond between us?" |
| 7712 | Hesitating still? |
| 7712 | How answer the question,"Daughter, where and who is thy husband?" |
| 7712 | How could she? |
| 7712 | How could you suffer him to entertain an idea so wild? |
| 7712 | How did he fulfil the trust?" |
| 7712 | How did he raise the money?" |
| 7712 | How is this? |
| 7712 | How support his wife, whose return to him he always counted on, and whom it would then become him at all hazards to acknowledge? |
| 7712 | How was this? |
| 7712 | How, at his age, could he see the distinction between the Poetess and the Woman? |
| 7712 | I hope the young gentleman in question is not in the hands of the Jews?" |
| 7712 | I must first be wholly ruined before she can want; and if I were so, do you think I should not be by her side?" |
| 7712 | I say, Parson"( whispering slyly),"if a small dose of what hurt the captain is to cure him, do n''t you think the proper thing would be a-- legacy? |
| 7712 | I shall either obtain a seat, be secure from a jail, have won field for my energies, or--""Or what?" |
| 7712 | I shall hear from you then?" |
| 7712 | I understand,--my money or my borough?" |
| 7712 | I, who have made such sacrifices,--actually doubts whether I, Audley Egerton, an English gentleman, could have been base enough to--""What?" |
| 7712 | I-- arbiter of my father''s destinies? |
| 7712 | If so, what would become of him? |
| 7712 | In what respect?" |
| 7712 | Is he a foreigner too?" |
| 7712 | Is it because he is below you in birth?" |
| 7712 | Is it possible?" |
| 7712 | Is it possible?" |
| 7712 | Is it that bowing, grateful dependent; is it that soft- eyed Amaryllis? |
| 7712 | Is she such a woman as a plain country gentleman would like his only son to marry-- ay or no?" |
| 7712 | It might be necessary to admit into partnership some other monster capitalist-- What then? |
| 7712 | LEONARD.--"But did his books teach him to burn ricks and smash machines?" |
| 7712 | LEONARD.--"Nay, sir, would not that be a great liberty?" |
| 7712 | LEVY.--"Ay; will she not be in want of some pecuniary supplies?" |
| 7712 | Mark the Poet?" |
| 7712 | May I ask his name?" |
| 7712 | Mr. Egerton is the Blue candidate, and the Blues are the Country Party; therefore how can he be a Lonnoner? |
| 7712 | My Lord, the young one, took me by the hand so kindly the other day, and said,''Have not you heard from her-- I mean Miss Avenel-- lately?'' |
| 7712 | My nephew, Frank Hazeldean, proposes to marry Madame di Negra against his father''s consent? |
| 7712 | Oh, how will he bear it; how recover the shock? |
| 7712 | Oh, that foolish fancy of yours about my young Lord? |
| 7712 | PESCHTERA.--"And your father, since then, has taught you to hate this fancied foe?" |
| 7712 | Property-- property? |
| 7712 | RANDAL.--"Are you going to Madame di Negra''s? |
| 7712 | RANDAL.--"I trust I shall hear the result of your interview? |
| 7712 | Randal and the gentleman exchanged a hasty whisper, and the former then exclaimed,"What, Mr. Hazeldean, have you just left your brother''s house? |
| 7712 | SQUIRE( leaving Randal''s arm and seizing Levy''s).--"Were you speaking of Frank Hazeldean?" |
| 7712 | SQUIRE.--"Are there? |
| 7712 | SQUIRE.--"Can I see the deed with my own eyes?" |
| 7712 | SQUIRE.--"Did you or did you not tell me or Mrs. Hazeldean that Frank was in love with Violante Rickeybockey?" |
| 7712 | SQUIRE.--"Where-- what-- where? |
| 7712 | Shall I not accompany you? |
| 7712 | Shall I see him, or her? |
| 7712 | She is of good family?" |
| 7712 | She sunk her voice into a whisper:"How could Leonard fail to be dear to you,--dear as you to him,--dearer than all others?" |
| 7712 | So you have thought of my little discourse on Knowledge, have you?" |
| 7712 | Some public matter-- some parliamentary bill that may affect your property?" |
| 7712 | Still silent? |
| 7712 | Surely your name''s Hazeldean?" |
| 7712 | THE BARON( with a forced laugh).--"Perhaps to defend yourself against the actions you apprehend from me?" |
| 7712 | That is true, is it not?" |
| 7712 | The captain now, highly disgusted that so much attention was withdrawn from his own case, asked in a querulous voice,"And as to diet? |
| 7712 | The world thrives with you, eh? |
| 7712 | Then, quietly seating himself on the bench beside her, he looked into her eyes, and resumed,--"Doubtless you have heard of the Count di Peschiera?" |
| 7712 | They fell to the ground with a dumb, moaning, sighing sound.--"What is that?" |
| 7712 | Thou art no poet-- why deem that life itself can be a poem?" |
| 7712 | To ask a poor sick gentleman how he is? |
| 7712 | VIOLANTE( twining her arm round Helen''s waist).--"How have I wounded you,--how offended? |
| 7712 | VIOLANTE.--"But why will you not tell me more of that early time? |
| 7712 | VIOLANTE.--"I, Count? |
| 7712 | VIOLANTE.--"Take the child Beatrice from Dante''s life, and should we have a Dante? |
| 7712 | Very natural, I dare say; but Lord, sir, what do you think has happened? |
| 7712 | Was all the iron of his mind worth one grain of the gold she had cast away in Harley''s love? |
| 7712 | We should have consented to Violante; why not to her? |
| 7712 | Well, what did he say had become of the donkey?" |
| 7712 | Were there touches by which conjecture grew certainty; and he recognized, through the lapse of years, the boy- lover in his own generous benefactor? |
| 7712 | What complaint more repeated and more touching than"that it is growing dark"? |
| 7712 | What could they do? |
| 7712 | What do you say?" |
| 7712 | What ghost can the churchyard yield to us like the writing of the dead? |
| 7712 | What if Nora were married after all? |
| 7712 | What is a poet''s genius but the voice of its emotions? |
| 7712 | What is the name of your doctor?" |
| 7712 | What made his heart stand still, and the blood then rush so quickly through his veins? |
| 7712 | What more frequent than a prayer to open the shutters and let in the sun? |
| 7712 | What now is to be done?" |
| 7712 | What on? |
| 7712 | What passed within him during the minute he stayed there who shall say? |
| 7712 | What shall I have for dinner?" |
| 7712 | What the deuce is the matter with the ravens?" |
| 7712 | What wise man denied that two and two made four? |
| 7712 | What would you have me do?" |
| 7712 | What, till then, had Harley L''Estrange been to Violante? |
| 7712 | When Audley pressed her heart to his own, could he comprehend one finer throb of its beating? |
| 7712 | When could the marriage be proclaimed? |
| 7712 | When is the marriage to be?" |
| 7712 | Where does the wench live? |
| 7712 | Wherefore such emotion?" |
| 7712 | Which of the two suffered the most? |
| 7712 | Which of these motives can urge Madame di Negra to marry Mr. Frank Hazeldeani?" |
| 7712 | Who could heed the strong hearty man in such a moment? |
| 7712 | Who ever sees its face? |
| 7712 | Who the devil is he?" |
| 7712 | Who was this boy? |
| 7712 | Who would confide to a woman things in which she could do nothing, except to tease one the more?" |
| 7712 | Who? |
| 7712 | Why did he seize upon those papers with so tremulous a hand, then lay them down, pause, as if to nerve himself, and look so eagerly again? |
| 7712 | Why must it not be? |
| 7712 | Why not die before?" |
| 7712 | Why should I not take him up, too, when his grandmother was a Hazeldean? |
| 7712 | Why should he thrust his long nose into my family affairs? |
| 7712 | Why was the object presented to us? |
| 7712 | Why were we detained in the shadowy procession by a thing that would have been so commonplace had it not been so lone? |
| 7712 | Why, then, if this man were to buy the contrivance you speak of, it would injure you?" |
| 7712 | Will that gentleman take a chair?" |
| 7712 | With an unobservant bow to the visitors, he went straight to the patient, and asked,"How go the symptoms?" |
| 7712 | Would you believe it? |
| 7712 | Yet who ever saw them flow? |
| 7712 | You are weeping?" |
| 7712 | You can fear Harley-- Lord L''Estrange? |
| 7712 | You can not forget Sprott?" |
| 7712 | You have seen him?" |
| 7712 | You have seen it?" |
| 7712 | You never heard tell of her, did you, sir?" |
| 7712 | You weep; lean on me, whisper to me; why-- why is this? |
| 7712 | You will stand for Lansmere?" |
| 7712 | You, my school friend, my life''s confidant,--you?" |
| 7712 | Your wife, then, does not know the exact state of your affairs?" |
| 7712 | do they know of your marriage?" |
| 7712 | do you want money? |
| 7712 | exclaimed Leonard,"are you speaking of John Burley?" |
| 7712 | exclaimed the curate, in benevolent alarm; no illness here, I hope?" |
| 7712 | he said falteringly,"so it is you, whom I warmed at my hearth, who are to ruin Richard Avenel?" |
| 7712 | interrupted Levy,"to deceive your friend L''Estrange? |
| 7712 | is that the man who knows my son''s affairs? |
| 7712 | the young fellow we are talking of? |
| 7712 | to remember the Bond Street Lounger and his incomparable generation? |
| 7712 | what do I care for either now?" |
| 7712 | what does property matter, when a man is struck down at his own hearth? |
| 7712 | what is another pang?" |
| 7712 | what is this? |
| 7712 | what of her? |
| 7712 | what, the debt he paid for that woman? |
| 7712 | your mother?--Nora?" |
| 7713 | Ah, if Leonard''s sole offence had been what you appear to deem it, do you think I could feel resentment? 7713 Ah,"cried Randal, drawing a long breath--"ah, what do I hear?" |
| 7713 | Am I grown so mean? |
| 7713 | And Leonard-- whom I remember in my childhood-- you have forgiven him? |
| 7713 | And Mr. Leonard Fairfield will, therefore, I presume, continue the contest? |
| 7713 | And do not his affairs necessitate his serious and undivided attention? |
| 7713 | And do you dare to talk to me thus, and yet pretend to love me? |
| 7713 | And does the duke yet know of his recall? |
| 7713 | And has interfered, and trifled, and promised, Heaven knows what, ever since: yet to what end? 7713 And has she not gone to her father''s? |
| 7713 | And he? |
| 7713 | And might I now ask your Lordship for one word of explanation? |
| 7713 | And the bulk of your father''s property is unentailed; Mr. Hazeldean might disinherit you? |
| 7713 | And was Mr. Leslie acquainted with your project for securing the person and hand of your young kinswoman? |
| 7713 | And why? |
| 7713 | And would Mr. Leslie have benefited by any portion of that sum? |
| 7713 | And you think his nephew will be withdrawn? 7713 And your election is quite safe, eh? |
| 7713 | Any fresh hints as to Lansmere? |
| 7713 | Are we then to understand, Mr. Leslie, that your intention is not to resign? |
| 7713 | Are you in pain? |
| 7713 | Are you satisfied, Monsieur le Comte,said Harley,"with your atonement so far? |
| 7713 | Are you still so severe on me? |
| 7713 | Attachment,/pazzie!/ Whom has she seen? 7713 Ay, any other of my friends!--What friends?" |
| 7713 | Ay,said the captain,"what became of Randal Leslie? |
| 7713 | Ay; but you are not indifferent? |
| 7713 | Baron Levy,said Harley, abruptly,"if I have forgiven Mr. Egerton, can not you too forgive? |
| 7713 | Be thee my grandson? |
| 7713 | Because I can not talk trash vulgar enough for a mob? 7713 But Leonard did not deceive you?" |
| 7713 | But does Leonard wish to come into parliament? |
| 7713 | But how did he know that? 7713 But why call yourself a/parvenu/? |
| 7713 | But why not employ the police? |
| 7713 | But you have not done? |
| 7713 | But you will not think too sternly of what is past? 7713 But, Marchesa, this can not be; and--""Beatrice, Beatrice-- and me!--our betrothal? |
| 7713 | But, tell me, do you think better of her than of her brother? |
| 7713 | But,faltered Leonard, fear mingling with the conjectures these words called forth--"but is it that Lord L''Estrange would not consent to our union? |
| 7713 | But,said Frank, a little bewildered,"if I go to my lodgings, how can I watch the count?" |
| 7713 | But,said a grave and prudent Committee- man,"have we really the choice? |
| 7713 | Can so short a time alter one thus? 7713 Can you not induce my father to see her? |
| 7713 | Caucuses? |
| 7713 | Certainly; and if you can not get in your friend, who can? 7713 Did I hear your name aright? |
| 7713 | Did I? 7713 Did you not tell me,"answered Harley,"to strive against such remembrances,--to look on them as sickly dreams? |
| 7713 | Do I disturb you, sir? |
| 7713 | Do you ask such a question? 7713 Do you know the Marchesa di Negra?" |
| 7713 | Do you live so far? |
| 7713 | Do you note,said Audley, whispering,"how Harley sprang forward when the fair Italian came in sight? |
| 7713 | Do you see him familiarly, converse with him often? |
| 7713 | Does he request you to do so in his letter? 7713 Dread it? |
| 7713 | Eh? 7713 Father, must it be so? |
| 7713 | Fools-- how? |
| 7713 | From Mr Leslie, and-- and--"Go on; why falter? |
| 7713 | From no one else? |
| 7713 | From the squire? |
| 7713 | Glad to hear it; and if you do come into parliament, I hope you''ll not turn your back on the land? |
| 7713 | Has my client, Mr. Egerton, authorized you to request of me that disclosure? |
| 7713 | Has not Mr. Leslie received from the squire an answer to that letter of which you informed me? |
| 7713 | Has she not seen some one, and lately, whom she prefers to poor Frank? |
| 7713 | Have you discovered no trace, my Lord? 7713 Have you forgiven Helen?" |
| 7713 | Have you no feelings of compassion for my son that is to be? 7713 He knew she had left a son, too?" |
| 7713 | His affairs? 7713 His return would really grieve you so much?" |
| 7713 | How can you support all the painful remembrances which the very name of my antagonist must conjure up? |
| 7713 | How can you talk with such coolness of your friend? 7713 How is this?" |
| 7713 | How long is it since he bought this yacht? |
| 7713 | How? 7713 I understand then, Mr. Leslie, that you scornfully reject such a supposition?" |
| 7713 | Indeed? |
| 7713 | Is it because you can not love me? |
| 7713 | Is it that I am grown hateful to you; is it merely that you see my love and would discourage it? 7713 Is it you who thus speak of Lord L''Estrange? |
| 7713 | Is she not changed-- your friend? |
| 7713 | Is there no choice, no escape? |
| 7713 | Is this my son,--this my gentle Harley? |
| 7713 | Levy,said the statesman, abruptly, upon the entrance of the baron,"have you betrayed my secret-- my first marriage-- to Lord L''Estrange?" |
| 7713 | May I speak with you? |
| 7713 | Miss Sticktorights? |
| 7713 | Mr. Hazeldean-- what? 7713 My dear Hazeldean, you will take my advice, will you not?" |
| 7713 | My dear Mr. Dale,cried Leonard, transported,"you make me that promise?" |
| 7713 | Nay,said he,"is that ALL? |
| 7713 | Not by union with your brother? |
| 7713 | Now, Mr. Leslie, what do you advise next? |
| 7713 | Now,--and here, my Lord? |
| 7713 | Of Madame di Negra? 7713 Of whom do you speak thus?" |
| 7713 | On the terms I mentioned to your Lordship? |
| 7713 | Perhaps you inquired of my friend, Mr. Egerton? 7713 Poole,"said he,"have you nothing that warms a man better than this?" |
| 7713 | Prouder of him who may shame us all yet? |
| 7713 | Rather what could I do without parliament? 7713 Rickeybockey a duke? |
| 7713 | So then,said Harley,"Mr. Leslie assured you of Madame di Negra''s affection, when you yourself doubted of it?" |
| 7713 | The squire? |
| 7713 | To you? 7713 To- morrow? |
| 7713 | True, my Audley,--you and I together-- when did we ever lose? 7713 Until you have cherished revenge? |
| 7713 | Was any such compact made between your Lordship and myself, when you first gave me your interest and canvassed for me in person? |
| 7713 | Was not your youthful admiration for poor Nora evident to me? 7713 We may differ from his politics, but who can tell us those of Mr. Leslie? |
| 7713 | Well kept, eh? 7713 Well, Leslie, what report of the canvass?" |
| 7713 | Well, my Lord, do you comprehend this conduct on the part of Richard Avenel? 7713 What I was-- or what I am? |
| 7713 | What could we do in parliament without you? |
| 7713 | What do you mean? |
| 7713 | What have you to say to me? |
| 7713 | What infernal treachery is this? |
| 7713 | What is this? 7713 What is this?" |
| 7713 | What of her? 7713 What secret?" |
| 7713 | What shall not be? |
| 7713 | What so natural, Baron Levy,--his own brother- in- law? |
| 7713 | What the deuce have you got to do with the general election? |
| 7713 | What the deuce is Egerton to you? |
| 7713 | What the devil is that placard? |
| 7713 | What trick is this? |
| 7713 | What was the fate of her who seemed so fresh from heaven when these eyes beheld her last? 7713 Where?" |
| 7713 | Who can judge,thought Harley,"through what modes retribution comes home to the breast? |
| 7713 | Who can see you, and not do so? 7713 Who could ever count on popular caprice? |
| 7713 | Why are you so cruel? |
| 7713 | Why do you not speak? 7713 Why not?" |
| 7713 | Wife, wife, Nora had no son, had she? 7713 Would he have that audacity?" |
| 7713 | Would you have felt no desire for revenge? 7713 Would your Lordship condescend to see them?" |
| 7713 | You accept? 7713 You dread that so much then?" |
| 7713 | You have no brothers nor sisters,--no relation, perhaps, after your parents, nearer to you than your excellent friend Mr. Randal Leslie? |
| 7713 | You think with me, that the chance of my success-- is good? |
| 7713 | You wish for the presence of Frank Hazeldean? 7713 You wish your father to see her? |
| 7713 | You would know my history? |
| 7713 | You would save him from ruin? 7713 You!--and here-- Violante? |
| 7713 | Young Leslie has spoken to you? |
| 7713 | Young man, can you hesitate? |
| 7713 | ''Never loved you''? |
| 7713 | ''Your brother?'' |
| 7713 | --(I have well played my part, have I not?) |
| 7713 | A very good revenge still left to you; but revenge for what? |
| 7713 | Act thus-- and what, in the future, is left to me?" |
| 7713 | After each irregular and spasmodic effort, the pen drops from his hand, and he mutters,"But to what end? |
| 7713 | Ah, child, what mean you? |
| 7713 | Ah, is that young Hazeldean? |
| 7713 | Ah, perhaps his interest in Egerton''s election?" |
| 7713 | Ah, your countenance owns it; you have seen Peschiera? |
| 7713 | All this time were you aware that Audley Egerton had been the lover of Leonora Avenel?" |
| 7713 | Am I not right here? |
| 7713 | Am I not right?" |
| 7713 | And I had just arrived in England, was under his mother''s roof, had not then once more seen you; and-- and-- what could I answer? |
| 7713 | And Violante--""Will have nothing, I suppose?" |
| 7713 | And as for that/petit monsieur/, do you think I could quietly contemplate my own tool''s enjoyment of all I had lost myself? |
| 7713 | And for your sake--""You''ll not oppose Egerton?" |
| 7713 | And if you have written your best, let it be ever so bad, what can any man of candour and integrity require more from you? |
| 7713 | And my little jobs-- the private bills?" |
| 7713 | And the same kind friend?--who is related to you, did you say?" |
| 7713 | And what more terrible? |
| 7713 | And where lies the vessel?" |
| 7713 | And whom did fate select to discover the wrongs of the mother, whom appoint as her avenger? |
| 7713 | And you have left him still indignant and unhappy?" |
| 7713 | And your wish is to resign?" |
| 7713 | Are you sure of that?" |
| 7713 | Are you sure?" |
| 7713 | At each word of tenderness, my heart would say,''How long will this last; when will the deception come?'' |
| 7713 | At those words, what answer could I give,--I, who owe you so much more than a daughter''s duty? |
| 7713 | Be able to account for every hour of your time--""An alibi?" |
| 7713 | Besides, how else can I deliver Violante?" |
| 7713 | Besides, if they are paid beforehand, query, is it quite sure how they will vote afterwards?" |
| 7713 | Both the law and commonsense pre- suppose some motive for a criminal action; what could be my motive here? |
| 7713 | But I wish to see you provided for; and I could offer you something, only it seems, at first glance, so beneath--""Beneath what?" |
| 7713 | But are you sure that he still lives? |
| 7713 | But do you know what I should have been, had I not been born the natural son of a peer? |
| 7713 | But does he love her? |
| 7713 | But how and why can the count have left England after accepting a challenge? |
| 7713 | But how, as Egerton''s representative, escape from the continuous gripes of those horny hands? |
| 7713 | But if you would strike the rival, must you not wound the innocent son? |
| 7713 | But if your nephew retires?" |
| 7713 | But is not Harley, is not Lord L''Estrange one whose opinion you have cause to esteem? |
| 7713 | But it is well, Randal, that you are secure of Hazeldean''s money and the rich heiress''s hand; otherwise--""Otherwise, what?" |
| 7713 | But perhaps--"EGERTON.--"Perhaps what?" |
| 7713 | But what think you, meanwhile, of this proposal? |
| 7713 | But when the heart closes over its own more passionate sorrow, who can discover, who conjecture? |
| 7713 | But where are Avenel and Fairfield?" |
| 7713 | But whither, if not to Norwood,--oh, whither? |
| 7713 | But who could foresee the turn things would take? |
| 7713 | But why not write to the squire?" |
| 7713 | But will you rise? |
| 7713 | But, it has been asked,''Are poets fit for the business of senates? |
| 7713 | But, now I think of it, did not Squire Hazeldean promise you his assistance in this matter?" |
| 7713 | But-- but-- who can credit it? |
| 7713 | By all that you hold most sacred in your creed, did you speak the truth when you said that you never loved me?" |
| 7713 | CAXTON.--"What so clear? |
| 7713 | Can I hear of your distinction, and not remember it? |
| 7713 | Can she have gone to the marchesa''s house?" |
| 7713 | Can we say as much of the portraits of Lawrence? |
| 7713 | Can you be more sensitive than I?" |
| 7713 | Can you guess what I should have been if Nora Avenel had been my wife? |
| 7713 | Could I have foreseen this when we two orphans stood by the mournful bridge,--so friendless, so desolate, and so clinging each to each? |
| 7713 | DALE.---"How, how? |
| 7713 | DALE.---"May I assume at once that you have divined the parentage of the young man you call Fairfield? |
| 7713 | Dale?" |
| 7713 | Did he repent and reform?" |
| 7713 | Did you not detect a fearful irony under his praises, or is it but-- but- my conscience?" |
| 7713 | Did you speak to her of Madame di Negra?" |
| 7713 | Did you understand from Mr. Randal Leslie that he had opposed or favoured the said marriage,--that he had countenanced or blamed the said post- obit?" |
| 7713 | Do n''t you hear the newspaper vendors crying out''Great News, Dissolution of Parliament''?" |
| 7713 | Do you forget me?" |
| 7713 | Do you know of any motive of self- interest that could have actuated Mr. Leslie in assisting the count''s schemes?" |
| 7713 | Do you like my proposition?" |
| 7713 | Do you mean that they are seriously embarrassed? |
| 7713 | Do you think I should tell such a lie? |
| 7713 | Does he?" |
| 7713 | Does not that rest with the Yellows? |
| 7713 | Duke, Duke, I put it to your own knowledge of mankind whoever goes thus against his own interest-- and-- and his own heart?" |
| 7713 | EGERTON.--"DO you really feel that your intended marriage will bestow on you the happiness, which is my prayer, as it must be your mother''s?" |
| 7713 | Eh, my Lord?" |
| 7713 | For what interest, what object?" |
| 7713 | For what is real life? |
| 7713 | For what? |
| 7713 | Frank? |
| 7713 | From whom?" |
| 7713 | Gentlemen, are you ready? |
| 7713 | HARLEY.--"Ay, and what of?" |
| 7713 | HARLEY.--"But can you not dispel the dream?" |
| 7713 | HARLEY.--"Why?" |
| 7713 | HARLEY.--"Would his hostility to me lower him in your opinion? |
| 7713 | HELEN.--"Oh, Lord L''Estrange, how can you speak thus; how so wrong yourself? |
| 7713 | Had I said to you what I knew( but not till after her death), as to her relations with Audley Egerton--""Well? |
| 7713 | Had not Leonard spoken of Violante, and with such praise? |
| 7713 | Had not his boyhood been passed under her eyes? |
| 7713 | Harley had said that Madame di Negra had generous qualities; and who but Madame di Negra would write herself a kinswoman, and sign herself"Beatrice"? |
| 7713 | Harley inclined his head, and the parson passed him by, and left him alone,--startled indeed; but was he softened? |
| 7713 | Harley''s breast heaved, he waved his hand; the parson resumed,"Whom could I suspect but you? |
| 7713 | Harley''s face seemed so unusually cheerful as he rejoined the Italians, that the duke exclaimed,--"A despatch from Vienna? |
| 7713 | Harley, do you deceive us?" |
| 7713 | Has he left town, and without telling me?" |
| 7713 | Has he left town?" |
| 7713 | Has not freedom bred anarchy, and religion fanaticism? |
| 7713 | Have I not the keenest interest to do so?" |
| 7713 | Have you called?" |
| 7713 | Have you kept your promise?" |
| 7713 | Have you never felt the efficacy of prayer?" |
| 7713 | He advised you to borrow on a post- obit, and probably shared the loan with you?" |
| 7713 | He can not be this foe? |
| 7713 | He had once doubted if Harley were the object of her love; yet, after all, was it not probable? |
| 7713 | He is ambitious, worldly, has no surplus of affection at the command of his heart--"HARLEY.--"Is it Randal Leslie you describe?" |
| 7713 | He?" |
| 7713 | Hope he relieves your mind?" |
| 7713 | How are the numbers? |
| 7713 | How are you to serve my father, how restore him to his country? |
| 7713 | How can I be so, when my whole future career may depend on it?" |
| 7713 | How can I leave the place till then?" |
| 7713 | How can I stay? |
| 7713 | How can you know your own mind in such a matter? |
| 7713 | How could Levy betray you? |
| 7713 | How could he attack Dick Avenel,--he who counted upon Dick Avenel to win his election? |
| 7713 | How could he exasperate the Yellows, when Dick''s solemn injunction had been,"Say nothing to make the Yellows not vote for you"? |
| 7713 | How-- how could Leonard do anything that seems hostile to you?" |
| 7713 | How?" |
| 7713 | I ask you, then, respectfully, Baron Levy, Is not Mr. Egerton''s health much broken, and in need of rest?" |
| 7713 | I can not bear to contemplate even the possibility of-- of--""My death? |
| 7713 | I do but suspect yours; will you make it clear to me?" |
| 7713 | I have your promise, then, and you will send me your address?" |
| 7713 | I thought you had returned to Hazeldean with our friend the squire?" |
| 7713 | If I could forget what I have owed to him, should I not remember what he has done for you? |
| 7713 | If I say to my grandchildren,''Do n''t drink that sour stuff, which the sun itself fills with reptiles,''does that prove me a foe to sound sherry? |
| 7713 | If he be your son, and Helen Digby be your ward,--she herself an orphan, dependent on your bounty,--why should they be severed? |
| 7713 | If he know that I am his rival, does not rivalry include hate?" |
| 7713 | If she has indeed fled from me, need I say that my suit will be withdrawn at once? |
| 7713 | If you grant me nothing else, will you give me the obedience which the ward owes to the guardian, the child to the parent?" |
| 7713 | If your bride''s father be satisfied, what right have I to doubt? |
| 7713 | Is it I whom you seek? |
| 7713 | Is it not so?" |
| 7713 | Is it so long since she died? |
| 7713 | Is it so, then?" |
| 7713 | Is it so?" |
| 7713 | Is it so?" |
| 7713 | Is not even the convent open to me? |
| 7713 | Is not such silence pardonable in a mother? |
| 7713 | Is not the heart pure?" |
| 7713 | Is not this rather what you call-- humbug?" |
| 7713 | Is not your Lordship too sanguine?" |
| 7713 | Is she not coming back to us? |
| 7713 | Is she not in Curzon Street?" |
| 7713 | Is that it?" |
| 7713 | Is that so?" |
| 7713 | Is that the date? |
| 7713 | Is the election as safe as they say?" |
| 7713 | Is the marriage that was to be between her and Frank broken off?" |
| 7713 | Is there anything in our past acquaintance that warrants me to believe that, instead of serving me, you sought but to serve yourself? |
| 7713 | Is this anger merely to punish an offender and to right the living,--for who can pretend to right the dead? |
| 7713 | It was a sacrifice of inclination to begin the contest; it would be now a sacrifice of inclination to withdraw?" |
| 7713 | Just, too, when there is a reasonable probability that we can afford a son?" |
| 7713 | Leslie?" |
| 7713 | Leslie?" |
| 7713 | Leslie?" |
| 7713 | Leslie?" |
| 7713 | Lives there a man or a woman so dead to self- love as to say,''What contemptible stuff is-- MY Novel''? |
| 7713 | MR. DALE( indignantly).--"Oh, my Lord, how can you so disguise your better self? |
| 7713 | Meanwhile, can you tell me the number of one Baron Levy? |
| 7713 | Might there not have been strife between you, danger, bloodshed? |
| 7713 | Nay, more, if that young Harpagon were Alphonso''s son- inlaw, could the duke have a whisperer at his ear more fatal to my own interests? |
| 7713 | Not Dale?" |
| 7713 | Now, Baron Levy''s number?" |
| 7713 | Now, Baron Levy, will you go into your strong closet and hang yourself, or will you grant me my very moderate conditions? |
| 7713 | Now, my Lord, will you give me your arm? |
| 7713 | Now, what do I here longer? |
| 7713 | Oh, might not your consent to such a marriage( if known before your recall) jeopardize your cause? |
| 7713 | Oh, why will you turn from me; why will you not speak?" |
| 7713 | Oh, you believe me, do you not? |
| 7713 | Oh, you wish to bring in Mr. Leslie? |
| 7713 | On the other side, grant that there is no bar to your preference for Leonard Fairfield, what does your choice present to you? |
| 7713 | Or is there not some private hate that stirs and animates and confuses all?" |
| 7713 | Or of what do you speak? |
| 7713 | PISISTRATUS( amazed).--"How is that, sir?" |
| 7713 | PISISTRATUS.--"What remains to do?" |
| 7713 | Perhaps you met Lord L''Estrange by the way? |
| 7713 | Pray speak; what do you know?" |
| 7713 | RANDAL.--"Are you serious?" |
| 7713 | RANDAL.--"But surely your nephew''s sense of gratitude to you would induce him not to go against your wishes?" |
| 7713 | RANDAL.--"But why should Mr. Fairfield retire because Lord L''Estrange wounds his feelings? |
| 7713 | Riccabocca?" |
| 7713 | See, I lay my head upon your breast, I put my arms around you; and now, can you reason me into misery?" |
| 7713 | Shall I ring the bell for your servant?" |
| 7713 | Should we go at once to the house, and, by the help of the police, force an entrance, and rescue your daughter? |
| 7713 | Surely his honour is engaged to it?" |
| 7713 | Surely in Leonard Fairfield you have long since recognized the son of Nora Avenel?" |
| 7713 | Suspicious that, my clear sage?" |
| 7713 | Thank you, sir, humbly; but I''d rather lean on my old woman,--I''m more used to it; and-- wife, when shall we go to Nora?" |
| 7713 | That young man, too, who is he? |
| 7713 | That''s the way to do business,--eh, my Lord?" |
| 7713 | The count touched the arm of the musing usurer,"J''ai bien joue mon role, n''est ce pas?" |
| 7713 | The innocent saved, the honest righted, the perfidious stricken by a just retribution,--and then-- what then? |
| 7713 | Then a hoarse voice said,"Do n''t you know me, Oliver? |
| 7713 | They tell me he is one of the Avenels,--a born Blue; is it possible?" |
| 7713 | This is all you have to say to me?" |
| 7713 | To each question,"Whom do you vote for?" |
| 7713 | True, I here anticipate the observation I see Squills is about to make--"SQUILLS.--"I, Sir?" |
| 7713 | Until I myself sanction that suit, will you promise not to recall in any way the rejection which, if I understand you rightly, you have given to it?" |
| 7713 | VIOLANTE.--"Ought I to hear this of one whom-- whom--"HARLEY.---"One whom your father obstinately persists in obtruding on your repugnance? |
| 7713 | Very well, sir, taking these assumptions for granted, what is it you demand from me on behalf of this young man?" |
| 7713 | Was I ever so fair as this? |
| 7713 | Was he sure even of that consolation? |
| 7713 | Was it not the same who reared, sheltered your sister orphan? |
| 7713 | Was it so? |
| 7713 | Was the hearth to be solitary no more? |
| 7713 | We may differ from the politician, but who would not feel proud of the senator? |
| 7713 | We shall have the current against us; but you and I together-- when did we ever lose?" |
| 7713 | Well, but to come back to the point: Whom do you think I mean by the pretty girl?" |
| 7713 | Well, what then will you do?" |
| 7713 | Were I free, would it be to trust my fate again to falsehood? |
| 7713 | Were they to be rivals in the same arena of practical busy life? |
| 7713 | What ails you?" |
| 7713 | What brought him to you? |
| 7713 | What can she be saying to Mr. Egerton? |
| 7713 | What cause here for duels? |
| 7713 | What could he do? |
| 7713 | What could such courtesies in Lord L''Estrange portend? |
| 7713 | What did it signify if a speech failed, provided the election was secure? |
| 7713 | What do you say to marrying?" |
| 7713 | What do you take me for?" |
| 7713 | What does this mean? |
| 7713 | What had he to dread? |
| 7713 | What hitch is this, my dear Avenel?" |
| 7713 | What is a home without the smile of woman? |
| 7713 | What is all this about our fair Italian guest? |
| 7713 | What is your answer to my question?" |
| 7713 | What is your object?" |
| 7713 | What made him delay so long? |
| 7713 | What might not happen in the interval between Peschiera''s visit to the house and his appearance with his victim on the vessel? |
| 7713 | What of? |
| 7713 | What other friends has she, what relations?" |
| 7713 | What possible interest could I serve in that?" |
| 7713 | What so easy? |
| 7713 | What strange fascination can he possess, that he should thus bind to him the two men I value most,--Audley Egerton and Alphonso di Serrano? |
| 7713 | What then? |
| 7713 | What think you, by the way, of Audley Egerton?" |
| 7713 | What thoughts did the visit of Richard Avenel bequeath to Harley? |
| 7713 | What was her object, then, in deceiving not only you, but myself? |
| 7713 | What were the ruined hall and its bleak wastes, without that hope which had once dignified the wreck and the desert? |
| 7713 | What will your parish do without you?" |
| 7713 | What would that prove? |
| 7713 | What''s the man''s name? |
| 7713 | What, my Lord, you hesitate,--you feel ashamed to confide to your dearest friend a purpose which his mind would condemn? |
| 7713 | When may I tell her the truth?" |
| 7713 | Where shall I find Lord Spendquick?" |
| 7713 | Where''s my old woman? |
| 7713 | Wherefore?" |
| 7713 | Which, then, of the two candidates do you choose as your member,--a renowned statesman, or a beardless boy? |
| 7713 | Who but Violante could be the rival? |
| 7713 | Who knows but you may run together in the same harness? |
| 7713 | Whose spirits would not rise high, whose wits would not move quick to the warm pulse of his heart?" |
| 7713 | Why are you so pale; why tremble?" |
| 7713 | Why did you name him?" |
| 7713 | Why did you not confide to me frankly the state of his affairs?" |
| 7713 | Why do I resolve upon revenge? |
| 7713 | Why do you ask?" |
| 7713 | Why do you indulge in that melancholy doubt as to the time when I may see you again?" |
| 7713 | Why give reputation to-- John Smith?" |
| 7713 | Why not go abroad? |
| 7713 | Why not? |
| 7713 | Why should we deprive ourselves of that pleasure?" |
| 7713 | Why should you be indebted at all to that Baron Levy? |
| 7713 | Why shrink? |
| 7713 | Why so eager to leave it? |
| 7713 | Why the devil did not I know it before? |
| 7713 | Why then do I hate and curse my foe? |
| 7713 | Why this?" |
| 7713 | Why, people would say that Audley Egerton has been-- a solemn lie; eh, my father?" |
| 7713 | Why? |
| 7713 | Why? |
| 7713 | Will that satisfy you?" |
| 7713 | Will they not be writing sonnets to Peggy and Moggy, when you want them to concentrate their divine imagination on the details of a beer bill?'' |
| 7713 | Will you be a friend to me? |
| 7713 | Will you consent, at least, to take counsel of Mr. Audley Egerton? |
| 7713 | Will you meet me, an hour after noon, in the lane, just outside the private gate of your gardens? |
| 7713 | Will you still reject me for Leonard Fairfield? |
| 7713 | Would his hate or hostility to me affect your sentiments towards him?" |
| 7713 | Would that life not scare away the genius forever? |
| 7713 | Would that surprise you?" |
| 7713 | Would they vote Blue? |
| 7713 | Would they vote Yellow? |
| 7713 | Would you forgive me, if I failed to do so?" |
| 7713 | Would you not counsel him to do so?" |
| 7713 | You can not dream of revenge,--risk Audley''s life or your own?" |
| 7713 | You discovered the trace? |
| 7713 | You falter; go on; had you done so?" |
| 7713 | You have been with Lord L''Estrange?" |
| 7713 | You have left him comforted, happier?" |
| 7713 | You have not dared to pray since? |
| 7713 | You know Emanuel Trout, the captain of the Hundred and Fifty''Waiters on Providence,''as they are called?" |
| 7713 | You lent yourself to that, too? |
| 7713 | You put the house at my disposal, and allow me to invite Egerton, of course, and what other guests I may please; in short, you leave all to me?" |
| 7713 | You really are amazingly clever; but how comes it you do n''t speak better? |
| 7713 | You remember Leonard Fairfield, your antagonist in the Battle of the Stocks?" |
| 7713 | You spoke of revenge?" |
| 7713 | You understand? |
| 7713 | You understand?" |
| 7713 | Your reception- rooms above are, doubtless, a model to all decorators?" |
| 7713 | and I say, my dear, dear boy, I can not find out where Frank is, but it is really all off with that foreign woman, eh?" |
| 7713 | are you going already?" |
| 7713 | cried the squire, also gazing on Randal''s cowering eye and quivering lip,"what are you afraid of?" |
| 7713 | does he then so grieve that Helen prefers another?" |
| 7713 | false? |
| 7713 | how have they been spent? |
| 7713 | how is that? |
| 7713 | humbug, eh?" |
| 7713 | is it possible? |
