20552''Who are you?''
20552After their work was done, they sat down to supper, and while they were eating the boy asked:"What is your name, father?"
20552An idea entered Stan''s head, and he said boldly,"What would you give me, if I released you from the greedy dragon?"
20552And you, wife?"
20552And, if they did not bloom, why was it?
20552Another voice asked:"What is six?"
20552Are not the fields fertile?"
20552Are not the fruit- trees and bee- hives full?
20552Are you at variance with any one?
20552Are you crazy?
20552Are you not my father?
20552But did my fearless hero restrain himself?
20552But how do you happen to come here, and what are you doing in this wilderness of a forest?"
20552But how was Wild- Rose to do such a thing?
20552But what could she do?
20552But what did the empress say when_ she_ saw it?
20552But what did the youth see?
20552But when she glanced into the nest what did she perceive?
20552Ca n''t you understand that?"
20552Can you make roses grow on burdocks?"
20552Cross?
20552Did you steal the water?"
20552Do n''t you know that the bear never dances willingly?"
20552Do n''t you see he is dumb?
20552Do you hear?
20552Do you suppose you have me as a son for nothing?"
20552Does the place no longer suit you, or have you been offered higher wages elsewhere, that you want to leave me?"
20552Early the next morning he began to play on his flute at the edge of the lake,--and what did he see?
20552Fifty years have passed since I was young, who knows where the bones of the horse I rode then are rotting?
20552Had nobody been at his post?
20552Had not Holy Friday said that she was a combination of hideous things?
20552Has my faith been put to any test, and have I ever deceived you?"
20552Has the angel of the Lord taken her?
20552Have the elves and wicked gnomes stolen her away?
20552Have you any parents, and how did you get here?"
20552Have you enough to support them?"
20552Have you often been tended by people like me?"
20552He pulled it out, and what did he see?
20552He went out of the palace, and what did he behold?
20552He went up to it, and when he grasped it by the tail, the animal turned its head, saying:"What do you command, my master?
20552How could he drive them home?
20552How could he help it?
20552How did he ride?
20552How do I know, Brother Siminok?"
20552How had any one been able to enter unperceived?
20552How should she manage to find out what he did and ate in the woods?
20552I am old; if you go too, who will help me in the cares of government; if I die, who is there to ascend the throne except you, my son?
20552Like longing?
20552Like the wind?
20552Like thought?
20552Men came running to the spot, what did they see?
20552On seeing him, he said:--"Tell me, my son, from what part of the country do you come?
20552Or did not Holy Thursday tell you that you must enter into conversation with no one?
20552Or do you no longer remember the tidings Holy Wednesday''s box brought you?
20552Or like a curse?"
20552Or was she the ugliest among the fair ones?
20552Or, have you, too, been asleep, been dreaming?"
20552Over or under the bridge?"
20552Petru, Petru, have you forgotten?
20552Such a thing, how can I describe it?
20552Swim over it?
20552The Welwa?
20552The giants, the dragons, the iron- shod lions, the fairies, the flowers, and the sun-- what had they all been doing?
20552The traveler, full of joy, asked:"But are there not immense crowds of people here, if none of you die?"
20552Then a terrible wailing arose, as if all the spirits of evil were abroad, and another voice said:"What is two?"
20552Then it waked the young birds and said:"Tell me quickly, my darlings, who has done me this great favor?"
20552Then the fisherman, looking at the royal maiden, said three times:"Will you say fisherman to me again?"
20552They fought with swords, who knows how long?
20552Was he counting the wrinkles in her face?
20552What did Holy Thursday say?
20552What did he see?
20552What did they do?
20552What do you seek here?"
20552What do you suppose he did?
20552What else could he do?
20552What had become of him?
20552What had happened?
20552What happened during the night?
20552What is wanted?"
20552What is wanted?"
20552What must the Fairy Aurora herself be?
20552What should happen?
20552What should he do, for he found no water?
20552What should he do?
20552What was Petru to do?
20552What was he to do?
20552What was the youth to do?
20552What was to be done then?
20552What''s that to you?"
20552When he awoke, what did his eyes behold?
20552When it was over, he raised his eyebrows and began:"My son, what do you seek from me in this dark, cheerless abode?
20552When she asks''Who is there?''
20552When she came to the pear tree it stood full of pears, but do you suppose the traveler could taste even one of them?
20552When she looked up, what did she behold?
20552When the emperor heard this he grew very sorrowful and answered:"Why, my son, how can I give you an impossible thing?
20552When the old man heard the rooster''s voice he ran out joyfully to meet the bird, but looking through the door what did he see?
20552When the rooster saw that its life was in such great danger, what was it to do?
20552When they met again the old woman asked:"Husband, what have you found?"
20552Whence came the countless multitude of all sorts of cattle?
20552Whence do you come, and what do you want?"
20552Where should he find time to gossip with old women?
20552Where was such a thing ever heard of, and how long have you been able to talk?"
20552Where were all the sharp- eyed guards?
20552While he was doing so, Siminok stopped and said:"What is the matter with your head, Brother Busujok?"
20552Who are these boys?"
20552Who could tell how far he still had to go to reach the Fairy Aurora?
20552Who gathered the flowers for it, who twined them into a coronal, and who brought the wreath here and laid it on my couch?"
20552Who is it?
20552Who knows?
20552Who seeks to enter my palace by force?
20552Who that has ever seen her can help talking about her?
20552Who told you to stop?
20552Why should it?
20552Why should she be?
20552Why should they?
20552Why should we delay in our words?
20552Why?"
20552Would it be a joke to have a person able to throw any thing into the moon?
20552Would n''t it be better for you to heed the bay''s counsel?
20552Would n''t it be better for you to remember what Holy Thursday said to you?
20552Yes, or no?"
20552Yet they ate the porridge with great relish until, when the old woman emptied the dish she found at the bottom-- what?
20552Yet when did the flowers bloom, if they had not yet had time to open?
20552a dragon came up to him and said:--"What will you give me, boy, if I put all these beasts back into the horn for you?"
20552how could he help it?
20552how could the Welwa now be a gold forest after having twice left it in disgrace?
20552said the bay angrily,"why could n''t you keep quiet?"
20552she asked, half awake, half- dreaming--"Who?"
43059And what might it be?
43059And why not, prithee?
43059And why?
43059And ye, my forelegs, what did you do when the hound was chasing me?
43059But what are you doing now? 43059 But what creatures are stronger and more powerful than we?"
43059But what do you give in addition?
43059Do you not know who he is? 43059 For what are you searching, Dawn of the morning?
43059Granted,replied the hawk,"what is it?"
43059Hallo, sister,he cried,"have you got a meal ready?"
43059Hand, hand, where art thou?
43059Hast thou come to fetch water of life and death?
43059He, he, seest thou now that what I had told thee has come to pass? 43059 How am I not to low?
43059How did you know it?
43059How does it look?
43059How far art thou going?
43059How is life going there with you?
43059Hush, you little thing,said the stork,"how do you come to speak of red snow, you have never seen such a thing?"
43059I should like to know,said St. Mary,"how it happened that the last piece to be given away was a cake?"
43059I, what was I to do? 43059 If that be so, why did not you provide more hay last summer?"
43059Is that the way you keep your promise?
43059Never mind you, what am I to do?
43059Now, where was I? 43059 What am I to do then to be safe?"
43059What are you talking of? 43059 What beast?"
43059What beetles are you speaking of?
43059What brings thee to me, my sister?
43059What can we do to save ourselves?
43059What did we do? 43059 What did we do?
43059What did you do when the hound was chasing me?
43059What didst thou say?
43059What do I want them for?
43059What dost thou want?
43059What good can you do me?
43059What has brought thee to me?
43059What has happened unto me? 43059 What is my life worth to me?"
43059What is the good of living in pleasure and in might, if all the years of my life are to be thirty only?
43059What is the good of talking?
43059What is the matter that you are running about like a madman, brother?
43059What is the matter with thee, friend; why dost thou weep so, what ails thee, why art thou so inconsolable?
43059What shall I give you? 43059 What,"said the lark,"you a man, and your wife, a woman, beating you, how can that be?"
43059Whence do you come?
43059Where are the insects, beetles and midges, which I gave you to carry? 43059 Where are you going, brother?"
43059Where is God?
43059Where is your cunning of which you bragged?
43059Where should I get them from?
43059Who art thou who stops me in my way?
43059Who was that daring old man?
43059Why should I soil my feet with mud,she replied,"when the rain- waters are not yet dried up?"
43059Why,replied the birds,"how can that be?"
43059Why? 43059 Will you marry me?"
43059Wilt thou put me to shame?
43059With pleasure,replied the hawk,"why not?"
43059Yes,replied God,"I see, but what is it?"
43059Yes,said Peter,"all very well, but what about the dog?
43059You,replied the man contemptuously,"what can a little midget like you do, when the buffalo does not care even for me?"
43059A fox meeting a hedgehog asked him,"How many wits have you?"
43059AND WHY DO FLEAS SUCK HUMAN BLOOD?
43059Adam said to the cat,"Why dost thou quarrel with him?
43059Adam, as a wise man, kept his peace, but he thought day and night what was he to do to get rid of the devil and to save his wife?
43059Alexander drew near, and he asked them how it came about that they were riding such beautiful horses, and where were the men?
43059Am I to work so hard and carry such heavy burdens and then live on for fifty years in such misery?
43059And God asked her:"Why dost thou not do anything?"
43059And God said to him,"Whither art thou going?"
43059And again the old woman cried,"Hand, hand, where art thou?"
43059And are we, then, to assume that this theory of migration should be applied to these animal tales, as it has been to the fairy tale?
43059And even if she had known it, what good would it be to her, seeing that she did not know what a dragon or a she- dragon was?
43059And he asked him:''Whither art thou going so fast?''
43059And if not, why not?
43059And is it not so in the world?
43059And said the following:"Dost thou know, O Lord, or dost thou not know, What has happened in Paradise?
43059And the Lord asked him,"Hast thou spoken to her?"
43059And the Lord asked him,"What didst thou tell her?"
43059And the cat went on to say to the dog,"Why hast thou broken( transgressed) thy oath?"
43059And what are you seeking, Stars of the evening?
43059And what is the form in which it is given?
43059And why should he be better than many people are?
43059Are the animals humanised-- using the word in the sense of impersonating a human being?

43059HOW DID THE BEE OUTWIT THE DEVIL?
43059HOW DID THE BEE OUTWIT THE MOLE?
43059He caught hold of St. Mary by the hair of her head, for was he not the emperor, and was there anyone of whom he should stand in awe?
43059He replied,"If I got the best of the angel of death, how much more likely am I to get it of you?"
43059He said to them,"How can I go into the sea and not be drowned?"
43059He said,"What is it?"

43059How am I not to moan?
43059How did the Bee outwit the Devil?
43059How did the Bee outwit the Mole?
43059How many nations give the same answer, and in so doing form, as it were, a group by themselves?
43059How old is this or that answer or the tale that contains it?
43059How then can we fight him on the earth?"
43059How was she to know it?
43059If not, how is this similarity to be explained?
43059If so, would she mind singing to her?
43059In an ancient Biblical legend Abraham discusses with Nimrod, Who might be God?
43059In order to put her to the test, St. Mary said to her,"Would you like to give this cake to the most beautiful child here in this school?"

43059No sooner did the hunters come up and find the owl than they said,"What is this ugly bird doing here?

43059Now, do you think the dog was grateful?

43059One day the Gipsy came to the queen, and said to her,"Why do you always sit in the palace?
43059One of the women, hearing the bird''s song, said to her neighbour,"Did you hear what that bird was singing?"
43059Only the mole stayed away, so God asked him why he had not come, when all the others had?
43059Or hast thou the thought To destroy me?
43059Or to old Christmas?"
43059Or, in other words, have we here another set of tales which have been carried chiefly by word of mouth from one country to another?
43059Running very fast he met the bear, who asked him:"What is the matter with you that you run so fast?
43059Shall I be able to live upon the earth, and shall I keep the kingdom?
43059She said to herself:"Why should I give my best bread to strangers whom I do not know?
43059She saluted her when she came in, and this sister also said:"How is one to believe your mother- in- law?
43059Since I am to leave them for ever, and my mother with them, O Lord, what have I done?
43059So he said to the gnat:"Who are you?
43059So it is, for who can alter the will of God?
43059So it is, indeed, but how now about our wager?
43059So they said to him,"What shall we do now?"
43059So what did he do?
43059Some one must have invented them, and why could they not have been invented by the Rumanian peasant independently of the Indian story teller?
43059Soon afterwards the owl met him again and she said,"How have your seven minds( wits) helped you when in time of danger?

43059St. Peter, who felt annoyed by the constant worry of the vermin, said at last to God:"What is the good of keeping all these vermin upon the earth?
43059The angel asked him,"Where is thy friend?"
43059The angel asked him,"Why art thou weeping?"
43059The bee, impudent and greedy, replied:"Why should man share in my gift and have my honey?
43059The cat replied,"My Lord, he is a thief, is it right to dwell in one place with a thief?"
43059The devil did as he was told, but whilst he was plunging in the depths he said to himself,"Why shall I bring up the seed in his name?
43059The flea once upon a time meeting a gnat, said to her:"I say, sister, why is your back so bent, and why is your head so low?
43059The fox, having nothing else to do, said,"I must now ask thee, tail,''What didst thou do, O my tail?''"
43059The goldfinch looked at him and said,"Hallo, cuckoo, where have you been?"
43059The good God said:"To whom, O man, doest thou liken thyself?
43059The man, surprised at hearing the lark speak to him, said,"What good can you do to me?"
43059The mole, who heard her buzzing, ran after her and said:"O sister, is that the way thou art dealing with me?
43059The mouse replied,"Lord of the Universe, what have I done?"
43059The owl asked him,"Brother mine, how many minds( wits) have you?"
43059The owl asked him,"How many minds( wits) have you now, old fellow?"
43059The owl followed him, and seeing him there, exhausted, asked him,"How many minds( wits) have you?"
43059The poor man, what was he to do?
43059The prince, when he heard her, His love burned in him fiercely And what did he say with his mouth?
43059The question arises, Whence came some of the incidents believed to be more ancient?
43059The question then remains, Where do these tales come from?
43059The rat went to the clouds and asked them,"Where is God?"
43059The raven replied,"Why not the eagle and dove"?
43059The raven said,"Why dost thou call me lewd( fornicator)?"
43059The snake came to Noah and said,"What wilt thou give me if I stop up the holes which the devil is making by which the water enters the ark?"
43059Then David prayed for God''s mercy and said,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
43059Then David said,"O Lord of the Universe, what benefit is there in these creatures?
43059Then he asked himself:"What can be in that sack?
43059Then he recovered himself and said,"Woe unto me, what have I done?
43059Then she met a band of Gipsies, and she asked them,"Have you seen my son?"
43059Then the dog said to the cat,"Why are we sitting here a hungered?
43059Then the hound said sympathetically,"What has happened unto thee?"
43059Then the raven replied,"Why hast thou cursed me?
43059There came a gnat buzzing by the man and saying to him:"What wilt thou say if I drive him out of the swamp?"
43059There she was met by a fox, who said to her,"What has brought thee hither into this the other world from the world outside?
43059They all worked hard to get the water out, but who can get the better of the devil?
43059They molest even us, and try to bite us, what then must the poor human beings be suffering through them?"
43059They said to him,"Hast thou not thy heart with thee?"
43059They were eating, Or not eating, For on a sudden They lifted their eyes, And whom should they see from afar?
43059Thou seest, Peter, what that brother of mine--""You mean the devil?"
43059To St. John?
43059To me?
43059To the saints?
43059Turning to the man, King Solomon said,"Do you not know that you must never trust a snake?"

38991And who can have murdered them?
38991And why?
38991And with what will you satisfy the greed of these heretics, whom your Highness has brought with you?
38991And you could not do that much without being told? 38991 And you worked only with one master?"
38991Are n''t you coming this way?
38991Are you ill?
38991At Haculeshti?
38991But can you read?
38991But do you know why he wanted me to?
38991But how are you, sir? 38991 But those cries, those shouts we heard?"
38991But what has happened here, Mosh Nichifor?
38991But what of it, have n''t we all done the same kind of thing? 38991 But what''s the matter, Ghitza, you are not eating?"
38991But who will tend to this wretched man?
38991But will they come?
38991Can you not see that I am ill? 38991 Can you see the pool?"
38991Churls, but many of them,replied Lapushneanu coldly:"would it not be a sin to murder many men for the sake of one?
38991Come now, what am I to do?
38991Come, do you think he really is dead? 38991 Could it be Gheorghe?"
38991Could she deny it? 38991 Did n''t you hear the song?
38991Dinu, you must give Sandu notice to- day, do you hear? 38991 Do n''t drink it?
38991Do n''t the people know us and our daughter, and do n''t they know what Costa''s words are worth? 38991 Do you hear that, old lady, from Warsaw?"
38991Do you know what Father has just told me? 38991 Do you know what I''ve been thinking as I sat by the fire?"
38991Do you think I shall pity you because you do n''t eat? 38991 Do you think Itzic knows the world?
38991Does n''t it make you laugh--Mistress Veta takes up the word--"when you see Costa''s wife as pink as a girl?
38991Eh,said Vasile, scratching his head,"how are you getting on?"
38991Eh? 38991 Engineer?
38991For what reason have you to- day, which is not a feast day, deserted your spinning- wheel? 38991 Gardana,"said the brigand,"is it you?"
38991Gardana?
38991Has that wretched Tomsha taught you?
38991Have you filled the boiler with water?
38991Have you found a situation?
38991Have you got a good road along there now?
38991Have you got business at Hunedoar fair?
38991Have you got nothing to do?
38991Have you had your dinner?
38991Have you heard?
38991Here,he said a little later, ceasing to plait,"could n''t we weave an awning?
38991How are you feeling now, Brother Paisie?
38991How can I dismiss the man in the middle of the night? 38991 How can you pour two more bucketfuls in when it does not hold more than one?"
38991How could I believe him, my dear, how could I believe him? 38991 How did it happen, Jew?"
38991How do you know all this?
38991How is it? 38991 How is the work getting on?"
38991How many hides?
38991How much have I to pay?
38991How much have you put? 38991 How should I know, master?"
38991How should I know, young lady? 38991 How should we know?
38991How was that?
38991How? 38991 I never asked you, Toli, how are the goats doing?
38991I? 38991 I?"
38991Insult?
38991Iorgu, do you know what Father said to me?
38991Iorgu, do you know why that old man has come?
38991Irinel, will you come and walk in the garden?
38991Is Master Dinu at home?
38991Is that horse supposed to be groomed?
38991Is there a chance of getting anything to eat?
38991Is this how you look after the garden? 38991 It does not hold more?
38991Itzic? 38991 Look, Mistress Malca, do you see that fine, large village?
38991May I ask, brother Gheorghe, where we are at this moment? 38991 Mosh Nichifor, what are we to do?"
38991Mosh Nichifor, wo n''t something happen to us this evening? 38991 No,"she said, turning her head away;"but are n''t you afraid?"
38991No? 38991 Not be like this?
38991Not lie? 38991 Not?
38991Nothing? 38991 Of the water lady?
38991Of what should I be afraid?
38991On our business?
38991Only these few are left?
38991Or are you waiting to be invited? 38991 Or do n''t we give you enough whisky in the evening?"
38991Perchance you think I do not know the Moldavian proverb:''The wolf may change his skin, but never his habits''? 38991 Sandu, can you stay with him?
38991Sandu, why did you want to leave your work? 38991 Sandu, why do you look at me like that?"
38991Sandu, you told Mother that I had been in the workshop?
38991Send him away? 38991 She is not a smart lady, is she, and you are not going to marry her to some grandee?
38991Should you say I shall find a place?
38991So to- night you will lie in wait for the duck?
38991So, so, you have come on our business-- how much? 38991 Speak, are you coming or not?"
38991Supposing I do not find work?
38991Supposing he has gone away?
38991Supposing your father- in- law heard you?
38991The pool----"Only the pool? 38991 Then how can you hope to get one?"
38991Then who can have told her?
38991Then why did n''t he tell me?
38991Toli, during all the months you have been with us I have never asked you whether you are married?
38991True? 38991 True?"
38991Trust myself to you?
38991Vasile,said the boyar,"what is to be done?"
38991Vegetable- beds?
38991Well, Sandu, what did Ana want in the workshop?
38991Well, do you agree? 38991 What are you doing, you boobies?
38991What are you looking for?
38991What are you to do? 38991 What do they ask for?"
38991What do you think of it?
38991What father- in- law? 38991 What has he?"
38991What has scared you, Jew?
38991What is he doing?
38991What is it, Mosh Nichifor?
38991What is it, Sandu? 38991 What is it, Sura?"
38991What is it? 38991 What is it?"
38991What is it?
38991What is it?
38991What is that yonder?
38991What is the matter with you?
38991What is the matter? 38991 What is the priest making?"
38991What is to be done, Vasile?
38991What is your name?
38991What say you, Father?
38991What think you, Bogdan,he said after a short pause,"shall we succeed?"
38991What tidings, my fair lady?
38991What will you give me if I tell you?
38991What will you?
38991What''s the matter, Iorgu? 38991 What''s the matter?"
38991What''s the matter?
38991What''s up, Sandu, have you left? 38991 What, Mosh Nichifor?"
38991What, my Ana damp the sandals?
38991What, you do not want to see us?
38991What? 38991 What?
38991What? 38991 What?"
38991What?
38991What?
38991What?
38991Whence do you come, Roman?
38991Where did you learn these spells, Mosh Nichifor?
38991Where do you want to go to?
38991Where else could we stop? 38991 Where is it?
38991Where is the eldest one?
38991Where''s your mistress?
38991Where, Mosh Nichifor?
38991Wherefore? 38991 Which Gheorghe?"
38991Who are you? 38991 Who are you?"
38991Who are you?
38991Who is there?
38991Who is there?
38991Who turned this vat?
38991Who writes to you then?
38991Who? 38991 Who?"
38991Why all this to- do even if she did take wine to the poor man? 38991 Why do you look at me like that, lady?
38991Why do you look at me like that, lady?
38991Why do you not stay in the convent and meditate during Passion Week?
38991Why do you stay?
38991Why does n''t Mother like my talking to you when Father says you are so good?
38991Why let yourself be unhappy, my dear?
38991Why not?
38991Why, when you had turned the skins, did n''t you come to dinner, or have you been talking to Ana?
38991Why? 38991 Why?"
38991Will you start back at this hour?
38991Would it trouble you to make me another cup of coffee, not quite so sweet as this?
38991Would n''t it be a good plan to sow maize along the fence and round the beds?
38991You are going?
38991You have come to see us, friend Cozma?
38991You have got some heavy skins, have n''t you?
38991You have kept your promise, Mosh Nichifor?
38991You sleep in the afternoon, eh? 38991 You thought to get rid of me?
38991You want to give me notice? 38991 You will give him notice, do you understand?
38991Your foulard gown? 38991 Your mother?
38991''Eh?
38991''If I taste, perhaps the contrary is true, who knows?''
38991''Since when?''
38991''To whom, mother-- to whom must you open?''
38991''Who could be knocking?''
38991''Why should I be afraid of Zidra?''
38991A few minutes later he said:"Listen, Veta, all right, I will find witnesses, but supposing it''s true?"
38991A minute later footsteps sounded in the garden, and then the voice of a neighbour:"Where are you, dear, where have you hidden yourself?"
38991A village called"poor"in a"dry"valley; could any place have a more unpleasant name?
38991A wild beast?
38991After Malca has mounted she asked:"Are we a little late, Mosh Nichifor?"
38991After a pause he said slowly:"You have heard of dead pools?"
38991Am I deceiving myself or not?
38991Ana is just herself, and there is no one like her, so why give yourself bad moments because of the tittle- tattle of a man like Costa?"
38991Ana, who saw he was about to open the door, asked him:"What do you want, Sandu?
38991And I, unhappy man that I am, was bold enough to say,''Little nun, is n''t it being a penny wise and a pound foolish?''
38991And after that, tell me, brother, could I sit patiently by, bite my nails and say nothing?
38991And do you know who killed Zidra?"
38991And for what reason?
38991And if I said to her:"Irinel, do you think it will rain to- day?"
38991And then he began to speak:"Do you realize how the downtrodden people begin to murmur and to agitate?
38991And those other two said nothing about it-- you do n''t think it rains whisky with us, do you?
38991And what of it?"
38991And what was it he wanted?
38991And when he is asked, he strokes his moustache, and looking proudly towards the place replies:"Up there on the Grofnitza?
38991And when two women sit gossiping, who escapes unscathed by their tongues?
38991And where is the dragon, Mosh Nichifor?"
38991And who would think of him, or who would give him any happiness at this holy festival?
38991And why did n''t you send him away?"
38991And yet you do not want me, do not love me?
38991And you will show me, too, the big cities and rivers and the sea, wo n''t you?"
38991And, then, where would you find another place?
38991Anything besides?
38991Are n''t you going to Pocovnicu Iordache to engage yourself to his eldest daughter?
38991Are they bits of coal?
38991Are you asleep, Mistress?"
38991Are you asleep, young lady?"
38991Are you cold?"
38991Are you not satisfied with our food?"
38991As he entered his wife asked him:"Well, has he not turned up yet?"
38991At every step almost he met an acquaintance with whom he exchanged words,"Where do you come from?"
38991Because I promised I would prepare you a remedy for fear?
38991Before whom did he cry?
38991Boyar Nicola thought to himself:"You are not ugly, you are not stupid-- what''s the reason of it?
38991But can anyone sleep through the mad row these nightingales are making?
38991But how do I know whom to believe?
38991But is Gardana still alive?"
38991But then again he slackened his pace, and other thoughts assailed him: supposing he did not get a situation, what would he do then?
38991But what did that"Where are you?"
38991But what were those cries, those sharp whistles through the night?
38991But where are you?
38991But why?"
38991But you, are you well?"
38991But you, brother, how has the world treated you?"
38991But, you silly man, why did n''t you tell me?
38991Can one have anything clearer than that?
38991Costa-- but who''s Costa?
38991Costache?"
38991Costache?"
38991Costache?"
38991Could I?"
38991Could n''t he plant maize at the back of the house too?
38991Did I like the house?
38991Did I love my uncle who had managed my affairs?
38991Did he believe that this prayer, expressed with all the energy of despair, could bring him help?
38991Did n''t he get angry, very angry?"
38991Did n''t your father once keep an inn in the village somewhere?"
38991Did the woman know I had returned, or had she got up very early?
38991Did they catch them as they rode?
38991Did you not choose me?
38991Did you not swear fealty to me when I was only Petre Stolnic?
38991Do I not know that when my army was outnumbered, when you saw that I was defeated, you abandoned me?
38991Do I understand that you do not want me?"
38991Do n''t listen, Lena; do you believe his lies?"
38991Do n''t they clean them every day?"
38991Do n''t you see what a beautiful day it is?
38991Do you hear the nightingales, how charming they are?
38991Do you hear the turtle- doves calling to each other?"
38991Do you know what you''re talking about, Master Shtrul?
38991Do you know what?"
38991Do you know who I am?"
38991Do you know, at that moment a thought crossed my mind that overwhelmed me?
38991Do you love me?
38991Do you love me?"
38991Do you not know each other?
38991Do you not know?
38991Do you remember?
38991Do you say what is the matter with you?
38991Do you see how shy I am?
38991Do you suppose he did not know where she was?
38991Do you think my man chose well this year?"
38991Do you understand?"
38991Do you want to find me dead from fright when you come back?"
38991Do you want to tell me something?"
38991Doda Sili said wonderingly:"Who knows what kind of man he is?"
38991During the great hunt, do you think it''s only a few wolves that are put to shame by having to leave their skins as hostages?
38991Each one was thinking:"Where have I seen him before?"
38991Every one wondered,''Who may he be, and whence does he come?''
38991Gheorghe began to grin, saying:"What frightened you, Master Leiba?
38991Go and kill him?
38991Grinding good flour?"
38991Had they cleaned my boots?
38991Has he gone?
38991Has he learnt engineering?"
38991Has he taught you to speak with such temerity?
38991Has it not been known for old men to lose their heads and marry girls of eighteen?
38991Have n''t I seen you?
38991Have you grasped it?
38991Have you heard of the Feciorul Romancei?
38991Have you much work?"
38991Have you no wife, no home?"
38991Have you nothing else to talk about?"
38991Have you seen how a hen sits on her eggs?
38991He asked him:"Where do you come from?"
38991He has got us talked about, no other than he, do you hear?
38991He most certainly wanted to marry, and to take her for his wife; why would she not hear of it?
38991He said those words?"
38991He will dine with us?
38991His Highness sends to inquire what it is you want and ask, and wherefore you are come with so much noise?"
38991His blood began to boil and half raising himself he cried:"What are these?
38991How can I open?
38991How can a woman of her age paint herself?"
38991How can stars speak?
38991How can the stars he talks about burn?
38991How could I have convinced my uncle?
38991How could I understand then?
38991How could anyone doubt but that the dumb man was shamming?
38991How could one trample them underfoot?
38991How goes it with the land?
38991How much did you get from your late master?"
38991How much will you charge to take her there?"
38991How sad and drear do the most beautiful natural surroundings become when they are reflected by a sad and lonely heart?
38991How was it that that memory remained so clear?
38991How would he, an old man of pious habits, regard in his old age a marriage within the prohibited degree among members of his own family?
38991I am not very afraid of the wolf, but if some one else had been in my place----""No more wolves will come, Mosh Nichifor, will they?"
38991I asked:"How did it end?"
38991I do not want to tell you?
38991I got nothing out of that old witch, and Ciocirlie was no good; can not you propose something?"
38991I have made up my mind to tell you something----""What?"
38991I noticed my boots, and I thought to myself:"Have they cleaned my boots to- day or not?
38991I questioned her:"That seems strange to you?"
38991I turn back?
38991I went off to sleep gradually, rehearsing this heroic scene:"Irinel, will you come for a walk?"
38991If he met a rider on the road, he would ask:"Left the Prince far behind, warrior?"
38991If there had been a barrel of wine or brandy about, do you think he would have left the carriage stuck in the middle of the road all that time?
38991In other words, was she perchance with me in my room?
38991Indifferent?
38991Is it for this I watched over her?"
38991Is it likely I shall tell you an untruth?
38991Is n''t it so, young lady?
38991Is n''t to- day a great festival?"
38991Is not that easy to understand after all he has been doing these last days, and especially after what he has done to- day?"
38991Is she, perhaps, in love with some one else?"
38991It seems to me you are not well, are you?"
38991It seems to you I am ill?
38991Just now when we are greatly in need of men?
38991Listen, have you turned the skins?"
38991Look yourself; ca n''t you see the sun is going down behind the hill, and we are still in the same place?
38991Manole spoke:"Do you remember, Gardana?
38991Mosh Nichifor, what are you saying?
38991Mosh Nichifor, what are you saying?"
38991Mosh Nichifor, where can I hide?"
38991My uncle asked me in his kind, calm voice:"Iorgu, are you not well that you got up so late to- day?"
38991Now I would like to know when we have to start?"
38991Now what does he want?
38991Now what happened at the trial?
38991Of course I mind, but what would you have me do?
38991One gives rise to another, or are they, perhaps, inseparable?
38991Only when, amid the loud rustle of the trees, I would mention Zidra she would turn quickly, her eyes wide open, and say with a shiver:''Zidra?''
38991Or what sort of accidents could happen on the road?"
38991Perchance I do not know you, you especially?
38991Priest?
38991Sandu felt as if the house were falling about his ears-- he could not keep him any longer?
38991Saraceni?
38991She drew him to her and comforted him, and said to him:"Do you see what will happen if you do not listen to me?
38991Since when have you taken to wearing stuff dresses?"
38991Some lights too?"
38991Supposing he did not give him work?
38991Supposing he found something bad?
38991Supposing he had been a young man?"
38991Supposing she had asked me what it was I wanted to say to her?
38991Tega''s wife wondered to herself, she could not understand him; really, what was the matter with him?
38991That you are a thief and robber?
38991That"Where are you?"
38991The anchorite fathers of St. Agura have ordained that I should drink milk from a cow only, so that I may not get old quickly; so what is to be done?
38991The country does not want me?
38991The highwayman felt the lady''s head resting against his breast, and a voice murmured softly:"Would you give me to another?"
38991The official shouted:"Who is there?"
38991The one I like so much?"
38991The town is talking about your daughter, and you do n''t mind?"
38991Their mother sat upon the edge and asked them:"Are you ready?"
38991Then he called quickly:"Are you ready, young lady?
38991Then old Nichifor said:"Do you see, Mistress Malca, how beautifully the wood burns?"
38991Then suddenly to me:"Do you know who Zidra was?
38991Then the servants murmured again:"How can we bind him?
38991Then why do you keep coming round?
38991There, no one has eaten you, have they?
38991They could hear the rustling of a dog moving through the stubble, and from time to time could be heard a man''s voice:"Where are you?
38991This was the old man''s usual question: was the country grinding good flour?
38991To whom did he say these words?"
38991To whom did these words refer?
38991Toli Gardana asked:"Where are you going now?"
38991Toli crossed his arms and shaking his head asked:"Was it me you meant to rob?
38991Toli listened a moment, took his gun, and said quickly to Tega:"Have you any weapon about you?"
38991Toli went up to him and said:"I have wounded you-- have I wounded you?"
38991Vasile, the boyar''s agent, came up to the stone seat, scratching his head, and whispered with a grin:"What do you say to this, master?
38991Was I a long time?"
38991Was I ashamed, directly I came of age, to demand an account as though I doubted his honesty?
38991Was he looking at me or elsewhere?
38991Was it I speaking?
38991Was it any use losing one''s temper with the people?
38991Was it any wonder that in consequence of this the people of Saraceni had become in time the most idle of men?
38991Was it me you meant to attack?
38991Was it not the same Irinel, with whom I once played childish games?
38991Was not Irinel like my sister?
38991Was she not the same wild tomboy with her frocks down to her knees only, and her white stockings that became green by the evening?
38991Was there any chance of escape?
38991Was there anything else that kept me in bondage?
38991Well, well, what do you think of this clearing?
38991Were his words more gentle than before?
38991Were the frontier guards on the watch?
38991What are you saying?"
38991What blood have I shed?
38991What brought you, what drew you within range of my gun?
38991What business brings you to us?"
38991What can you confess?
38991What can you say to the priest?
38991What could have happened?
38991What could it be?
38991What did I tell you?
38991What did that mean?
38991What did they want on that by- road-- a road only used by anyone wishing to find the inn?
38991What do they care for the timid or the philosopher?
38991What do you mean by that?"
38991What do you want?"
