60664Ah?
60664Do you know what that idiot is doing now?
60664Yes?
60664But perhaps I am being too technical?"
60664Now: what to do with this one?"

5310But you can not possibly do so scandalous a thing-- and for what reason, pray?

5310Wo n''t you sit down here, sir?
5310Would you like to rest here, Martha, you old dear?

5310You have not had a fair chance-- probably you have never been allowed to do a single thing of your own accord-- have you?
5310You mean you can control events and shape your life as you please, then?
5310You were taken to the Sistine Chapel, of course,he went on,"and to the loggia and Bramant''s staircase?
5310--is it not so?

5310Are they tearing about after me, or what?"
5310But I should like to know, in fairness, how far you are stating you have been able to persuade my fiancee to agree to your view?"
5310But do-- you know what has happened now?
5310Can not you realize that it is wise for himself as well as for her that this man release her, before a life of long misery begins for them both?"
5310Did you know that I thought you looked particularly sweet last night, but rather pale?"
5310Did you or I-- or even her parents, consciously?
5310Do they sound as if they would be too heavy, dearest?"
5310Do you feel any fear for yourself, Stella?"
5310Do you not feel all this, little star, tell me?"
5310Erasmus, have you observed him?"
5310Had he not been already heavily tipped by this intelligent Ivan, and instructed instantly to obey the orders of mademoiselle?
5310He read it in surprise-- who could be sending him a note at a quarter past twelve at night?
5310Here Canon Ebley joined in, hoping to bring peace:"You have told Eustace what is in store for him to- night, have you not, Caroline, my dear?"
5310How long are you going to stay in Rome?"

5310I do indeed love Count Roumovski, and why should not we all be happy together?
5310In your country, a man asks a woman to marry him: he says,''Will you marry me?''
5310Mr. Medlicott bowed; what more could he do?
5310Of course, she would not go for a drive with him-- and yet, what would be the harm?

5310Tell me-- what do you think of Rome-- it contains things and aspects which afford food for reflection, is it not so?"
5310That is why I spoke-- do you feel it, too?"
5310The line is blocked by a broken- down goods train which caused the disaster,"he paused a moment, and Stella said,"Well?"
5310Therefore, it is common sense to ask you to release her, and let her be happy with the person she prefers-- is it not so?"
5310Was she quite safe?
5310Was this indeed true?
5310Well, who gave her these attributes?
5310What have you to say against it?"
5310What lay in front of her?

5310You saw some statues, too, perhaps?"
5310You will feel with me, I am sure, that our engagement was always a mistake and now wo n''t you be friends?"

5310since I left?
5310when will your sister be here?"
41091A further misfortune?
41091A man?
41091A point concerning what?
41091A secret of what?
41091A sinister object?
41091About you?
41091Ah?
41091And General Markoff told Your Majesty of my friendliness with Madame and her daughter?
41091And all of them innocent?
41091And forsake Dick?
41091And has she been here lately?
41091And he has a friend-- a doctor-- hasn''t he?
41091And how about Prince Urusoff-- eh?
41091And how long will it take me to reach Yakutsk?
41091And how will the department proceed here?
41091And if I admit anything you will hand me over to the police-- eh?
41091And if you were in my place how would you, I wonder, treat those scoundrels who attempted to kill you-- eh?
41091And in England there was another conspiracy against them-- eh?
41091And pray, Trewinnard, why are you so extremely desirous of following this woman into exile and speaking with her?
41091And so it is he whom you''ve met several times of late-- eh?
41091And so progresses holy Russia of to- day-- eh, Tack?
41091And suppose I refuse to satisfy your curiosity-- eh?
41091And the letters?
41091And this Miss Gottorp-- is your master very attached to her?
41091And what are they?
41091And what benefit would that be? 41091 And what did he say?
41091And what did you discover?
41091And what did you do with them?
41091And what did you do with them?
41091And what did you find?
41091And what had the old man to say?
41091And what is this Mr Drury''s profession?
41091And what was that?
41091And what would you do in England if you went back?
41091And where have the ladies been sent?
41091And who, pray, is this Mr Richard Drury?
41091And why should n''t I?
41091And you are entitled to leave of absence-- eh? 41091 And you''ve met him here?
41091And your love- letters?
41091And your present intention is to effect in Brighton what you failed to do in Petersburg-- eh?
41091Another plot-- eh?
41091Anything of interest?
41091Are they exiled? 41091 Are they outside?"
41091Are you leaving at once? 41091 Are you quite certain that this Mr Drury is unaware who you really are?"
41091Are you quite certain you have never before seen the intruder?
41091Are you remaining long in London?
41091At Eastbourne?
41091Bailiffs?
41091But His Majesty-- how does he bear it?
41091But I am not forbidden to discover it for myself?
41091But I suppose his fellow- conspirators still entertain no suspicion that he is a police- spy?
41091But are they in love with each other?
41091But does not Hartwig know all this?
41091But how can you guarantee there is no danger?
41091But how long do you two intend causing anxiety to your friends?
41091But is not the whole political world everywhere in Europe a world of vain promise, intrigue and shame?
41091But tell me, Igor, since you''ve been in Brighton-- over a month now-- have you ever met, or seen, anybody you know? 41091 But tell me, Luba,"I asked very earnestly,"did your mother ever reveal to you the nature of those letters?
41091But what has occurred?
41091But what have you discovered?
41091But what shall I do, Uncle Colin?
41091But what?
41091But who could have spread such a report?
41091But why should the revolutionists wish to harm me-- a girl?
41091But why, my dear child, refer to them further? 41091 But why?"
41091But will she refuse, if she knows that her father''s tragic end was due to the wild desire of Markoff to close her lips?
41091But would that be so very terrible? 41091 But you are quite certain that you saw the man there?"
41091But you were not alone-- Oleg was out with you, I suppose?
41091But you yourself committed the outrage?
41091But, tell me, were you a very intimate friend of this woman? 41091 But, tell me, why did Your Highness write to me so urgently three days ago?
41091Can not you tell me your suspicion?
41091Can you prove this?
41091Decoyed away into one of the side streets, perhaps-- and then-- well, who knows what might have happened?
41091Did you formulate that plot?
41091Did you make any mention to Oleg of the man following you?
41091Disappearance?
41091Do n''t parsons practise preaching their sermons, and lawyers and statesmen practise their clever untruths? 41091 Do n''t you recollect that you spoke aloud when other people were in the winter garden, and that I queried the judiciousness of it?"
41091Do you anticipate, then, that the girl is dead?
41091Do you know that man?
41091Do you only suspect something, Tack,I demanded very seriously,"or do you actually know?"
41091Do you suspect that, if the story of the woman who recognised Danilovitch be true, it was actually he himself who threw the bomb?
41091Do you think so?
41091Eh-- what?
41091Eh? 41091 Except flirting-- eh?"
41091For how long do you anticipate?
41091For what reason?
41091From what is she suffering?
41091Had he any friends in Krasnoyarsk, do you know?
41091Has a lady been here?
41091Has he actually confessed to you?
41091Has your mother told you nothing?
41091Have there been any callers lately?
41091Have you actual proof of this?
41091Have you been up with the Emperor?
41091Have you discovered the real perpetrator of that bomb outrage?
41091Have you heard from him lately?
41091Have you neglected my instructions and allowed clandestine meetings-- eh?
41091Have you no remorse-- no pity?
41091Have you the list of names?
41091He knows nothing of Her Highness''s real identity?
41091He was a stranger?
41091He was alone, you say?
41091Help you, in what way?
41091Here, I suppose, they lose their identity, do they not?
41091How came you to know this young fellow at Eastbourne?
41091How can we tell?
41091How can you control it?
41091How did you know?
41091How does Her Highness concern you?
41091How far are they ahead of us?
41091How is she?
41091How long ago did they leave here?
41091How long have you been here?
41091How many?
41091How? 41091 I have promised you, have n''t I?"
41091I have the good taste to choose Dick as a friend, I suppose you mean?
41091I mean you have no suspicion of the actual nature of the contents of those letters which your mother gave into Natalia''s care?
41091I suppose I ought never to dance at all-- eh? 41091 I suppose I was struck on the head by some of the debris and knocked insensible-- eh?"
41091I suppose Miss West, that all the men turn to look at Her Highness?
41091I suppose they arrived with the last convoy?
41091I thought you told me that they were in a sealed envelope?
41091I thought you were here with a message from our Chief in Russia?
41091I understand that you have had no news of him since last Monday?
41091I wonder if you tease Mr Drury like that?
41091I wonder what tales you''ve been telling the Emperor about me, Uncle Colin?
41091If I go, will you, on your part, promise me solemnly not to go out on these night escapades? 41091 If I withdraw my cry of alarm will you promise secrecy?"
41091In other words, you will direct and I must act blindly-- eh?
41091In peril, why? 41091 Is it horrid of me to pay you a compliment?"
41091Is she better?
41091Is that Russian justice?
41091Is this the actual truth?
41091It seems that during your absence you have been guilty of some very grave indiscretions and more than one scandalous escapade-- eh?
41091Killed him?
41091Ladies-- eh?
41091M''sieur Colin Trewinnard?
41091Markoff has denounced them?
41091May I see them?
41091May I venture to make a request of Your Majesty?
41091Meanwhile, you are both perfectly happy-- eh?
41091My dear fellow, who can gauge the state of the Russian mind at this moment? 41091 My request has placed you in a rather awkward position-- eh?"
41091Nobody else?
41091Nothing has been discovered regarding Madame de Rosen''s letters, I suppose?
41091Now,asked the chief of police, assuming an air of great severity,"where do you come from?"
41091Shall I tell you?
41091She believed that the arrest and exile of you both was due to the knowledge of what those letters contained-- eh?
41091She has n''t called since Monday?
41091She has refused-- eh?
41091She is not under arrest?
41091Simply I want to know the truth-- whether there is still any love between Geoffrey and yourself?
41091So that is the source of all those rumours-- eh? 41091 So you are back again in Russia-- eh, Tattie?"
41091So you are looking after your young mistress-- eh?
41091Something grave-- eh? 41091 Tell me, Uncle Colin, what have you been doing while you''ve been away-- eh?"
41091Terrible, was n''t it?
41091That General Markoff shall be allowed to remain in ignorance of Her Highness''s disappearance?
41091That my journey to Siberia should be kept a secret from the police?
41091Then I can go about with him in the daytime-- eh?
41091Then he may have thrown the bomb?
41091Then he still intends that Her Highness shall die? 41091 Then he suggested her being sent to the Yakutsk settlement-- in fact, to her death-- eh?"
41091Then he was following this mysterious Englishman-- eh?
41091Then the Emperor is more friendly towards Her Imperial Highness than before-- eh?
41091Then this Danilovitch is a Revolutionist paid by Markoff to perform his dirty work-- eh?
41091Then to be marked as` dangerous''means that the prisoner is to be treated with brutality-- eh?
41091Then where is he?
41091Then who is the fortunate young man at present-- eh?
41091Then you advise us to return, Uncle Colin?
41091Then you are not certain whether, after all, it is an elopement?
41091Then you betray your fellow- conspirators for payment-- eh?
41091Then you have really decided to go?
41091Then you knew something of the subject to which those letters refer-- eh?
41091Then you know the fellow?
41091Then you often see Drury-- eh?
41091Then you think that he is anxious to regain possession of those letters?
41091Then you understand my wishes-- eh, Trewinnard?
41091They are friends of yours-- eh?
41091They arrived recently, you say?
41091To see the Emperor?
41091To tell him the truth-- eh?
41091To whom?
41091Was he a gentleman?
41091Well, I suppose Grand Duchesses are in no way different to other girls-- eh?
41091Well, Tack? 41091 Well, and is n''t an English commoner as good, and perhaps better, than one of these uniformed and decorated Russian aristocrats?
41091Well, how are you feeling now, Colin, old man?
41091Well, what happened?
41091Well, where are they?
41091Well, you surely know Danilovitch?
41091Well,I asked anxiously, as I entered the square hall of the club,"what news?"
41091Well,I asked with a laugh,"any particular news in London?"
41091Well,I said, leaning against the edge of the writing- table,"I suppose the Emperor returned from Odessa early this morning-- eh?"
41091Well,I went on,"has she been very terrified about all these reports of conspiracies?"
41091Well,he asked roughly in Russian,"what do you want with me?"
41091Well,he asked with a smile,"what is it?"
41091Well,she asked, when he had gone,"what is your verdict, Uncle Colin?"
41091Well-- another lecture?
41091Well-- what have you discovered?
41091Well?
41091Were they very ill?
41091What are they?
41091What can I reply?
41091What danger?
41091What did he say when you told him of your master''s absence?
41091What do you infer?
41091What do you insinuate?
41091What do you know of the individual you have just seen dead-- eh?
41091What do you make of that?
41091What do you mean by` frankly''?
41091What do you mean? 41091 What do you mean?"
41091What do you mean?
41091What do you mean?
41091What do you mean?
41091What does it mean? 41091 What enemies?"
41091What escapade?
41091What escapade?
41091What friend?
41091What happened to the others?
41091What happened?
41091What has happened, Danilo?
41091What has happened?
41091What is it?
41091What is it?
41091What is its true nature? 41091 What suspicion?
41091What transparency?
41091What was the motive of the attempt you made upon the Grand Duke Nicholas and his daughter, and the gentleman here, Mr Trewinnard?
41091What were they?
41091What were your exact orders?
41091What''s happened?
41091What''s the matter?
41091What-- more conspiracies?
41091What-- you yourself desire to make amends-- eh?
41091What?
41091Whatever is the matter? 41091 Whatever is the meaning of this latest escapade?"
41091Where are they staying?
41091Where are you going?
41091Where did she die?
41091Where has she been sent, and what is her number?
41091Where is Drury?
41091Where is she?
41091Where is that lad Geoffrey Hamborough now?
41091Where is that letter?
41091Whether, as you have no love for Russia, you might not like to go back to England?
41091Who are they? 41091 Who are they?"
41091Who are those strangers? 41091 Who is he?"
41091Who is it there who wants me?
41091Who is that young man?
41091Who is this person who has been watching us?
41091Who knows-- eh, Trewinnard? 41091 Who knows?"
41091Who knows?
41091Who knows?
41091Who knows?
41091Who told you?
41091Who was he? 41091 Whose orders?"
41091Why did you go? 41091 Why did you last night follow the Grand Duchess Natalia with such evil intent?
41091Why did you throw that bomb?
41091Why do n''t you think so?
41091Why do you suspect him?
41091Why do you think that?
41091Why does he not come forward?
41091Why not pass them on to me? 41091 Why not?
41091Why not?
41091Why not?
41091Why not?
41091Why should I, Drury, when the truth must only cause you pain?
41091Why should I, if I strictly preserve my_ incognito_? 41091 Why was she arrested?"
41091Why, shall I confess a truth?
41091Why? 41091 Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Will you not speak? 41091 With what motive did you launch that bomb at the Grand Duke''s carriage?"
41091With your assistance?
41091Wondering what?
41091You are comparing me with young Drury, I suppose?
41091You believe, then, he is a Russian?
41091You carried it out?
41091You do not know their names?
41091You fear that the trap into which Her Highness has fallen is a fatal one-- eh?
41091You have made inquiry, no doubt?
41091You have reported nothing yet to Petersburg-- eh?
41091You have searched Eastbourne, I suppose?
41091You knew Miss Gottorp, I believe?
41091You know this-- eh? 41091 You mean that Her Highness is still in grave danger-- even here-- eh?"
41091You only saw him on that one occasion?
41091You think her beautiful-- eh, Trewinnard?
41091You think there really is urgency?
41091You think they have fallen in love?
41091You think they know all about it-- eh?
41091You threw the bomb which killed my brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas?
41091You will not tell him-- you won''t-- will you? 41091 You''ll forgive me for speaking quite frankly-- won''t you?"
41091Young Isvolski is there, is n''t he?
41091Your thoughts are similar to mine-- eh? 41091 Again, was she already dead? 41091 Am I to understand that you are ready and willing to execute this secret commission for me? 41091 Am I too small to be recognised?
41091And Luba?"
41091And how is Her Imperial Highness-- eh?"
41091And how is poor Marya?
41091And how is your interesting young charge?"
41091And she settled herself and, turning to me, added:"Why do you wish to know about Geoffrey Hamborough?"
41091And while he was speaking, Captain Stoyanovitch advanced to my bedside, and leaning over, asked in a low voice:"How are you, Trewinnard?
41091And who would not be?"
41091Are you aware of that?"
41091Are you aware of what was contained in those letters which Madame de Rosen gave you for safe- keeping?"
41091As much a tomboy as ever, I suppose?"
41091Because--""Because what?"
41091Besides, was not Natalia herself aware of the contents of the letters?
41091But how can I control the loyal Cossacks sent to escort those who have made attempts upon my life?
41091But if I wanted assistance might I count on you?"
41091But this fellow Drury,"he added impatiently,"who is he?"
41091But what about Drury-- eh?"
41091But what was he doing here-- in Siberia?"
41091But who is he?"
41091But why?
41091But why?"
41091But you have told me no untruths to- night, not one--?"
41091But you''ll forgive me, wo n''t you?
41091But, is it really true that Geoffrey is no longer in your thoughts?"
41091But,"asked the spy suddenly,"who are you that you should question me thus?"
41091By the way, how is she?
41091Can a man wrongly arrested and sent to the mines remain a loyal subject?"
41091Can not you form any theory what it can be?
41091Can you give me any explanation?
41091Can you really be serious for once?"
41091Could I reach her in time?
41091Could I save her?
41091Describe this latest escapade of hers-- for I suppose it is some ridiculous freak or other?"
41091Did she return with you this morning?"
41091Do let us go there?"
41091Do n''t you think so?"
41091Do you believe she is still in Eastbourne?"
41091Do you follow?"
41091Do you know anyone of that name?"
41091Do you know that, Mr Trewinnard?
41091Do you remember how we laughed?
41091Eh?"
41091Had she, after all, fallen a victim of his craft and cunning, and were her lips sealed for ever?
41091Had the blow fallen?
41091Has anything reached you at the Embassy?"
41091Have a cigarette?"
41091He--""How can you prove that?"
41091His warning the other day was no idle attempt to terrorise me?"
41091How are you, my friend-- eh?
41091How are you?
41091How can I?"
41091How could they possibly know?"
41091How did it happen?"
41091How is she?
41091How long ago?"
41091How will that do-- eh?"
41091I ca n''t help it if I meet an old friend accidentally, can I?"
41091I could n''t cut him, could I?"
41091I denied it, and--""Then you did not read them?
41091I have merely forewarned you of what you must expect-- the fate of the informer, unless--""Unless what?"
41091I mean anyone you have seen before in Petersburg?"
41091I strongly suspect that you are in love with her-- eh?"
41091I suppose Her Highness is perfectly comfortable and happy in her_ incognito_ at Brighton-- eh?
41091I suppose it is that melancholy man I''ve just seen sitting in the hall?"
41091I took her soft little hand, and looking straight into her eyes asked:"Does he know the truth?"
41091I took them with thanks, but after a moment''s hesitation I ventured to add:"I wonder if I might request of Your Majesty a further favour?"
41091I wonder if you''ll kiss me-- eh?"
41091I wonder what old Ivanoff, in the restaurant- car, will have for dinner to- night?
41091I wonder who he is?
41091I wondered if it had reached the Emperor''s ears?
41091I''ve been bored to death on the tour round the Empire, but could n''t you try and induce the Emperor to let me go back to England?
41091If not, why had her enemies made the firm determination that she should meet with a sudden and mysterious end?
41091If so, what then?
41091In what way can I be of service to you?"
41091Is it any wonder that there were in Russia real revolutionists, revolting not against their Tzar, but against the inhuman system of the camarilla?
41091Is it not natural, therefore, that he should take steps to seal her lips?"
41091Is it not your plain duty?"
41091Is it some password?"
41091Is n''t it absurdly funny?"
41091Is n''t it fun?"
41091Is n''t it horrid?
41091Is n''t that nice of me to say so?"
41091Is that so?"
41091Is that some new friend-- eh?"
41091Is the British Lion sick-- or what?"
41091It''s wicked in your eyes, is n''t it?
41091Let me see?
41091Like a novel, is n''t it?"
41091M''sieur knows the place-- eh?"
41091Now, is n''t that a pretty speech?
41091Now,"he added,"what more can you tell me regarding this maladministration of the police?"
41091Now,"he asked, looking straight at the man,"are you prepared to speak with me openly and frankly, as I am prepared to speak to you?"
41091Of course they incline to the theory of a secret lover-- but--""You suspect young Drury-- eh?"
41091Only pray be brief, wo n''t you?"
41091Or will you remain here, in the castle, until to- morrow?"
41091Rather a blow to the revolutionary organisation-- eh?"
41091Shall I tell you why?
41091Shall I work you a pair of slippers-- eh?"
41091Should I follow, overtake them and hear the truth from Marya de Rosen''s lips?
41091Should I telegraph the alarming news to the Emperor?
41091So you are here with your report-- eh?"
41091So you denounce me as blase-- eh, Uncle Colin?"
41091Sounds like an extract from a novel, does n''t it?"
41091Suddenly he asked of the spy:"You were at Brighton last night?
41091Tattie''s disappearance may have no connection with any revolutionary plot-- eh?"
41091That is the story-- does it suit?"
41091The English and French newspapers will get hold of it, and we shall have detailed accounts of the elopement-- eh?"
41091Then after a slight pause he grew calm and, looking me straight in the face, asked:"May I not know it?
41091Then he added:"I have been thinking whether we might not again approach Danilovitch?"
41091Then turning to me he asked:"What do you know of this young Drury?
41091Then you are beginning to realise the hollow unreality of the world about you-- eh?"
41091Then, next moment, she burst out into a merry, mischievous laugh, adding:"It''s really too bad of me to tease you, poor old Uncle Colin, is n''t it?
41091Then, straightening himself, he asked:"Does his passport give his name as Ivan Muller-- or Gabrillo Passhin?"
41091Then, turning to the prison governor, he asked:"How did they go?"
41091There is to be no attempted escape, surely?"
41091Try what you can do with Uncle Alexander, wo n''t you?
41091Was he at all anxious?"
41091Was he preparing the Emperor for the receipt of bad news?
41091Was he quite alone?"
41091Was he revealing to his Imperial Master a fact that he knew?
41091Well, Tattie, what is it?"
41091What are you saying?"
41091What can I say?
41091What can you know?"
41091What could have happened?
41091What do you actually know of her?"
41091What do you mean?"
41091What is it?
41091What is the matter with you?"
41091What motive can the revolutionary party have in making an attempt upon her-- a mere giddy girl?"
41091What motive could Markoff have in killing the Grand Duke Nicholas?"
41091What then?"
41091What was his destination?"
41091What was that?"
41091What was the accusation?
41091What would become of his young wife-- what would she think of him?
41091What would he think if I spoke the truth?
41091What, I wondered, had occurred?
41091What, I wondered, was the actual price placed upon my head?
41091What, I wondered, would Dick Drury think when he received her reassuring message?
41091What, I wondered, would have happened to him if I, a guest of His Imperial Majesty, had lost my life beneath his roof?
41091When shall I bring you up- to- date?"
41091When will you see the Emperor?"
41091Where am I?"
41091Where is he?"
41091Where is he?"
41091Where is one four nine five seven?"
41091Where is she?"
41091Where is your mother?
41091Who has done this?"
41091Who is he, pray?"
41091Who is the lady you are in love with at the present moment?"
41091Who knows?"
41091Who knows?"
41091Who was my accuser?
41091Who was the thief?"
41091Why did you follow Her Imperial Highness and Mr Trewinnard?"
41091Why do you allege this, Trewinnard?
41091Why do you ask again?"
41091Why is her life-- and even mine-- threatened as it is?"
41091Why not go away and forget?
41091Why not take my assistant, Petrakoff?
41091Why should I be so bitterly condemned?"
41091Why should I study my family?"
41091Why was I deprived of my liberty?
41091Why?
41091Why?
41091Why?"
41091Will you never reveal it?
41091Will you not tell me the truth?"
41091Wire in my name, and tell her that the affair is greatly exaggerated, and that I''m all right, will you?"
41091With what motive?
41091With whom?"
41091Yet how can it be altered?"
41091Yet how is it that she seems eternally watched by certain suspicious- looking foreigners?
41091You are certain of it-- you have evidence, I mean?"
41091You ca n''t expect a woman''s mouth to be full of sugar- plums of speech, can you?"
41091You can return to England without arousing suspicion?"
41091You do n''t anticipate that he is here with any evil purpose, I suppose?"
41091You do n''t know him?"
41091You do not know what they contained, or who they were from?"
41091You still have them in your possession?"
41091You understand?"
41091You would scarcely care to do any love- making before him, would you?"
41091You''re not afraid, Mr Trewinnard?"
41091he exclaimed,"then you have come here to denounce poor Markoff as an assassin-- eh?
41091she asked, with sarcasm,"or a winter waistcoat?"
41091she cried,"wherever have you been?
55244''A veritable Baron Munchausen, in fact?''
55244''Ah, so?''
55244''Ah, yes,''said Mrs Quaid enthusiastically;''so sweet, is n''t he?''
55244''Am I a gentleman?
55244''Am I sure to have that honour?''
55244''And he is?''
55244''And his daughter?''
55244''And how is Roland?''
55244''And so you were not hurt, after all?''
55244''And that action was?''
55244''And that is?''
55244''And that is?''
55244''And were you under the seat, Mr Peter Hitch?''
55244''And what do you think will happen when they do meet?''
55244''And what steps did the authorities take?''
55244''And what will Roland do?''
55244''And where is home?''
55244''And where_ is_ Litvinoff?''
55244''And who shall I say called if you should miss her, and she comes back first?''
55244''And yet you seemed glad to see me, too?''
55244''Any dinner?''
55244''Are we ready?
55244''Are we to have no music, Miss Stanley?''
55244''Are you at home, ma''am?''
55244''Are you living with friends?''
55244''Are you not well, Miss Stanley?''
55244''Are you quite sure the toad sees it?
55244''Are your parents living?''
55244''Art thee better to- night, Richard?''
55244''Ay, but,''said Richard,''so far as you know; but do you know all?
55244''Ay?
55244''Because what?''
55244''Better than most of whom?''
55244''Both of them?''
55244''But are you quite sure that you were not mistaken?
55244''But do n''t they get theirselves into trouble?''
55244''But how are we to go?
55244''But how came he to go?
55244''But how can you write?
55244''But how did you get away?''
55244''But how is it now?''
55244''But seeing as he''s such a friend o''Mr Roland''s, why do n''t he do something to stop this set- out?''
55244''But what made you come to London?''
55244''But where did the other carriage take you?''
55244''But where have you come from?''
55244''But where is Roland?
55244''But why should I expect anything better from him, after his conduct to that poor child?''
55244''But why,''asked Alice, half turning round to look at him,''why are you so kind?
55244''But your wife,''he said;''can she not come?
55244''But, madam-- forgive me-- how about last night?
55244''But, my good friend Hirsch, how do you propose to give money to this distressed lady, whose name you do not even know?''
55244''Ca n''t I do something for you, dad?''
55244''Ca n''t you guess?''
55244''Can I get a trap here?''
55244''Can I see Mr Richard Ferrier?''
55244''Can you tell me who this Litvinoff is, then?
55244''Could n''t tha ha''stopped it?''
55244''Could n''t we walk back, papa?''
55244''Count Litvinoff?''
55244''D''ye think, now, Sigley, he''ll be like to get that where Mr Richard is?''
55244''Desperately tired of waiting, I suppose, papa?''
55244''Did he?
55244''Did you go by chance?''
55244''Did you want either of them?''
55244''Did''st thee ever gie him owt, lad?''
55244''Do n''t they?''
55244''Do n''t you sing?''
55244''Do n''t you think we''d better go and have some dinner?''
55244''Do not go yet,''said the other, hospitably;''wo n''t you stay and have some lunch?''
55244''Do you expect a large audience?''
55244''Do you feel very bad, my pet?
55244''Do you happen to know Mr Ferrier?''
55244''Do you know where she''s gone?''
55244''Do you mean to say you did n''t_ know_?''
55244''Do you mean to say,''said Richard,''that it''s through me he thinks that Roland took her away?''
55244''Do you remember giving £ 10 to a man named Hirsch in the autumn?''
55244''Do you think, then, that Roland Ferrier has done anything unpardonable?''
55244''Does Mrs Stanley know?''
55244''Does anyone in the house know?''
55244''Does no one else know of it at all?''
55244''Does that matter?''
55244''Does that mean that you care?''
55244''Doubtless; but may I not know the name of the benefactor from whose assistance this lady''s pride does not shrink?''
55244''Excuse me,''said the other,''does your brother drink?''
55244''For-- for helping me?''
55244''Go back?
55244''Going back to Russia next week?''
55244''Going out again, John?''
55244''Good heavens!--you did n''t stay there till that time?''
55244''Good morning, Count Litvinoff,''he said;''can I be of any service to you?''
55244''Good- bye,''said Richard, rather at a loss in this unexpected and bewilderingly brief meeting;''could n''t you write to me?
55244''H''m-- wonder what_ this_ means?''
55244''Have n''t you anyone belonging to you?
55244''Have n''t you heard?''
55244''Have you any idea what the time is?''
55244''Have you gone mad, boy?
55244''Have_ you_ made the running?
55244''Heard?
55244''Here''s a shilling, ma''am: can you send for some brandy?''
55244''Hope?
55244''How about money?''
55244''How could I have been so absurd?''
55244''How could you help her if you knew where she was?''
55244''How dare you interfere?
55244''How did tha find it out?''
55244''How did you know her address?''
55244''How do you know?''
55244''How do you mean?''
55244''How do you mean?''
55244''How do you propose to find her?''
55244''How does this poor thing get her living?''
55244''How in the world do you come to be lecturing at a place like this?
55244''How long will men bear it?
55244''How long?''
55244''How soon can the doctor be here?''
55244''How was it,''Litvinoff asked presently, turning from the other subject with evident effort,''that you did not let me know directly you came over?''
55244''How''s mother and father?''
55244''Hurt?
55244''I beg your pardon, but do you know a place about here called Thornsett Edge?''
55244''I beg your pardon?''
55244''I daresay he wo n''t be long,''said the other, frowning a little, while the lines about his mouth grew hard and set;''but what did the doctor say?
55244''I do n''t think we hate sincere feeling of any kind; but forgive me for asking-- are you really an exile?''
55244''I do?''
55244''I go to Mr Ferrier?''
55244''I have asked myself, was it chance made you take this name of Litvinoff?
55244''I hope he''s not unkind to you?''
55244''I hope the pole did not touch you?
55244''I hope you''re proud of your precious_ protégés_?''
55244''I mean what had you said to make him say that?''
55244''I only wish to ask you of a Mrs Litvinoff?''
55244''I say,''said Richard, after a minute''s pause,''were you in a place called Spray''s Buildings, a turning out of Porson Street, about an hour ago?
55244''I suppose they are great favourites hereabouts?''
55244''I think I told you about her,''she continued;''Mrs Quaid, who belongs to the Cleon, you know, where I heard all about Socialism, you remember?''
55244''If that is so,''she said, reflectively, with her eyes downcast,''everyone who loves Liberty_ best_ should be in front of the battle too?''
55244''Is John Hatfield there?''
55244''Is Mr Ferrier in?''
55244''Is Mr Roland at home yet?''
55244''Is he going to live?''
55244''Is it any one''s fault?''
55244''Is it by chance a tinker''s bill?''
55244''Is it not possible that you may have thought of him less as your brother than as your rival?''
55244''Is it so very serious?''
55244''Is she alone?''
55244''Is that any relation of Count Litvinoff?
55244''Is this exciting enough for you?''
55244''Is your brother in love with Miss Stanley?''
55244''Is''t thee, man?''
55244''It was not my brother?''
55244''Just order up something cold, will you?
55244''Know what, father?''
55244''Know?
55244''Last night?
55244''Litvinoff, it_ is_ you, then?''
55244''Litvinoff, what is it?
55244''Martyrs, yes; but how can it have too many workers?''
55244''May I ask who gave you that piece of false information?''
55244''May I ask,''he said, when he had risen and taken a turn or two up and down the room,''how you propose to get your living?''
55244''Miss Stanley''s mother seems to have her wits about her?''
55244''My darling,''he whispered,''do you think I could leave you now I have found you?
55244''My dear child, do n''t you know why?''
55244''My_ dear_ Mr Petrovitch, how can I apologise enough for our intrusion?
55244''Need she go further?
55244''No foreigners here?
55244''Nonsense?
55244''Not know much more about your brother, Mr Richard?''
55244''Now then, young man, what''s all this to- do about?
55244''Of mine?
55244''Oh, Mr Richard, what does it matter now?
55244''Oh, Mrs Litvinoff?''
55244''Oh, are you?
55244''Oh, but Hatfield-- surely he''d not punish him?''
55244''Oh, dear, what is it?''
55244''Oh, what is to be the end of all this?''
55244''Once for all, then, will you tell me why you are here, Roland?''
55244''Perhaps the Herr Count speaks German?''
55244''Perhaps?
55244''Plainly, then-- you also are a suitor for the hand of Miss Stanley?''
55244''Regardless of principles?''
55244''Rowley, why did n''t you come before?''
55244''Shall we go round this way?''
55244''So he called her Mrs Litvinoff, did he?''
55244''So you''re out again, sir?
55244''So your brother, at anyrate, honours me with his interest, does he?''
55244''Some reason besides the two pounds a week, do you mean?''
55244''Stay, though,''he said;''have you any Frenchmen lodging here?''
55244''Still cold?''
55244''Suppose you are asleep?''
55244''Tha was i''the right, Potters, not to name names, but when it comes to namin''o''names I asks tha where''s tha proof?''
55244''Tha was na here when.... D''ye mind, Bolt, the night after t''owd master''s burying, tha made the lads drink t''young masters''health?
55244''That''s all very well,''said Mrs Toomey;''but what''s to become of example if the good and the bad gets treated alike?''
55244''That''s honest, is n''t it?''
55244''That''s one of your leading principles, is n''t it?
55244''That''s paid very badly, is n''t it?''
55244''That, then, was your brother''s accusation?''
55244''The gentleman who went for the doctor, I presume, was"one of you"?''
55244''The great reforms,''said Hirsch--''have they been carried by the tongue, or by the pike and the musket?''
55244''The question is,''he went on,''where did you come from, and what did you come for?''
55244''Then do n''t you think it''s a little too bad of you to encourage him as you do-- reading his books and all that?''
55244''Then he has left you?''
55244''Then what made you decide to tell me now?''
55244''Then you do n''t know how they are at home?''
55244''Then you read the papers?''
55244''There are no other children?''
55244''They were ever given to quarrelling, then?''
55244''This is glory to know,''he said,''but do you think it makes the sacrifice more easy?
55244''Was that the girl you said had-- well, not acted very wisely?''
55244''We have been to see some friends at Regent''s Park, and we are going on to dine with the Pagets--(you know the Pagets, Mr Petrovitch?
55244''We?
55244''We?
55244''Well, at anyrate, you''ll have a glass of wine, wo n''t you?''
55244''Well, dad, how goes it?''
55244''Well, dear, would it be best to grill him or to serve him on toast with caviare?
55244''Well,''said Bolt deprecatingly,''who could ha''foreseen things turning out i''this way?
55244''Were they unkind to you?''
55244''What are you going to do?''
55244''What can he do?''
55244''What can you mean?
55244''What circumstances?''
55244''What did Ah tell ye?
55244''What do you mean?''
55244''What do you want to go drinking of that poison for?
55244''What do you want to know?''
55244''What does he do for the Revolution now?''
55244''What else can we do?''
55244''What is her name?''
55244''What is it to be?
55244''What is it, Richard?
55244''What is it, father?
55244''What shall I sing, papa?''
55244''What sort of work?
55244''What the devil do you mean?''
55244''What time did you get home?''
55244''What will you do with yourself all the time?''
55244''What''s made old Stanley take up with him?
55244''What''s that?''
55244''What''s the matter with the men?''
55244''What''s the odds to them if we clem or if we dunna''t?''
55244''What''s the trouble?''
55244''What''s the use?
55244''What''s up?
55244''When can I see you to- morrow?
55244''Where are the boys?''
55244''Where did I come from?
55244''Where have you come from?''
55244''Where''s your proof o''that, Bill?''
55244''Wherever did you get to last night?''
55244''Who did you think it was?''
55244''Who is interested in him?''
55244''Why did you bring me here?
55244''Why did you let me go on wearing your name, and spending your money?
55244''Why do you ask, then?''
55244''Why not to me, if you can to anyone?''
55244''Why should n''t some of you do as he says, and go and see him and speak him reasonable?''
55244''Why the devil did n''t he tell every one then?''
55244''Why, surely, Mr Roland''s done nothing wrong?''
55244''Why, what can I do in the matter?''
55244''Why?''
55244''Why?''
55244''Will that be safe?
55244''Will you have tea or coffee?''
55244''Wilt have a light?''
55244''Wo n''t you make music for us?''
55244''Wo n''t you sit down?''
55244''Would you like to come with me?''
55244''Would you not go back to him-- now that you have another life than your own to think of?''
55244''Yes?''
55244''You are going back to Russia?''
55244''You are interested in these questions, Miss Stanley?''
55244''You are not married to him?''
55244''You are, then, very much interested in my friend?''
55244''You asked Count Litvinoff this?
55244''You called that-- a-- lady Mrs Litvinoff?''
55244''You can not love me, then?''
55244''You can trust her to me, friend Toomey, can you not?''
55244''You did n''t care about making it up, Rowley; but it''s all right between us now, is n''t it?''
55244''You do n''t mean to say you''ve been quarrelling already?''
55244''You''ll go, wo n''t you, Roland?''
55244''You''re better now, are n''t you?''
55244''You''ve had long enough notice of this,''Roland went on, casting a goaded glance at Litvinoff;''why did n''t you get work elsewhere?''
55244''Your new beliefs make you very happy, then?''
55244*****''And how have you liked it, my dearest Clare?
55244After a short pause a light could be seen within, and a voice asked,--''Who''s there?''
55244After all, was it proved?
55244Aloud he said,--''What was it-- the old story?''
55244Am I to have a Countess Litvinoff for a friend?''
55244And this room-- you do not like it?
55244And was this really_ all_ the ground you had for doing what you did?''
55244And why?
55244And yet I do n''t like to lose sight of her just yet, and what am I to do?''
55244And yet had he not written"The Prophetic Vision"?
55244And yet why should she look down on him?
55244And, my good Mrs Toomey, do n''t you see that the very fact of her being in your house would stop questions?''
55244Anything wrong?''
55244Are they after you?
55244Are we to walk, and fall into a succession of pools?
55244Are you a City missionary?''
55244As he took it he asked,--''Is it too late to send for Gates?''
55244As he took up a pen and sat down he asked,--''What is our friend''s name?''
55244As much?
55244As to these"hands,"as you call them,_ qu''importe_?
55244Besides, he sings, do n''t you know?
55244Besides, what is there to revenge?
55244Besides, where is the motive, unless he fears you?
55244Besides,"The millions suffer still and grieve, And what can helpers heal, With old world cures they half believe For woes they wholly feel?"''
55244But I can not go on talking like this; it is torture to me-- and to what end?''
55244But before he answered any of the questions, he said,--''Excuse me; but may I ask what interest you have in this poor girl?
55244But could she help looking down on him, for was he not at her feet?
55244But how about the mill hands, now scattered far and wide beyond recall-- beyond the reach of his help-- through this same mad folly of his?
55244But how came_ he_ to know it?''
55244But the Hatfields?
55244But what about your wife?''
55244But what of the men?
55244But who could have foreseen this?''
55244But why had she not returned to her mother?
55244But wo n''t you sing something else?''
55244But, oh, tell me all you know; tell me where he''s hurt; did you see?
55244But, on the other hand, how much did he himself know of her story?
55244But, you see, too, do n''t you, what a ghastly mockery it is to send religious teaching to people who never had a good dinner in their lives?
55244But-- how long ago?
55244Ca n''t tha say what tha does mean?''
55244Ca n''t we get some horses from the stable?''
55244Ca n''t we have some tea?''
55244Ca n''t you guess why I have seemed not sympathetic with your new religion?
55244Ca n''t your brother come, either?''
55244Can I do nothing for you?''
55244Can I get you anything?''
55244Can you tell me the way?''
55244Can you tell me whether he did or not?
55244Chilly night, ai n''t it?
55244Could he have gone to the churchyard?
55244Could this mangled, twisted, bloody mass be his brother?
55244Could what Dick had said be true?
55244Countryman o''yours too, eh, Mr Peter Hitch?
55244Did Mr Toomey call you right?''
55244Did Mr Vernon ever hear how you escaped from Tieff?''
55244Did he exaggerate?
55244Did n''t I tell you?
55244Did n''t none o''ye ever hear tell o''the elephant that lets himself be led and mastered by one he could smash with a shake o''his poll?
55244Do I look ill?''
55244Do many of your friends go there?''
55244Do n''t you know I lose as much as any of you?
55244Do you know if my brother has had any communication at all with her since she left her home?--did he know where she was?''
55244Do you know mamma says it''s not natural for girls of our age to take such dismal views of things?
55244Do you know where she is?''
55244Do you know whether he is all right?''
55244Do you know with whom she did go when she left her home?''
55244Do you know, I am very rich?
55244Do you suppose I should throw away this money if I could help it?
55244Do you take me for a born fool?
55244Do you think I care for this cursed mill?
55244Do you think I puts all my lodgers through their cataclysm before I takes''em in?''
55244Do you think, what you said just now, that knowing the_ truth_ could make me unhappy?
55244Does it frighten you?''
55244Does it?
55244Does that mean anything or nothing?''
55244Felt sure?
55244Had Litvinoff really married her?
55244Had any tea?''
55244Had it been fancy, born of the utter desolation and loneliness of the place where he was?
55244Has any of you spoke to him?
55244Has any one of you put it straight to him-- this is the way of it, and this and this?
55244Has he never tried to find you out?''
55244Hatfield, ca n''t you manage to get a dozen of your friends to put out that fire?
55244Have you been terribly bored-- or puzzled perhaps-- since you are not used to these discussions?''
55244Have you ever seen a man do that when hat there was none?
55244Have you had any dinner?''
55244Have you won her?''
55244Have you?
55244He came a step forward, and addressing nothing, said,--''Is Mrs Litvinoff in?''
55244He has deserted you?''
55244He threw a rough pea- jacket round her as she said, looking down,--''How did you catch me?
55244He took a chair, and said,''Then it was n''t only for the lecture you went to Soho?''
55244He turned and went on with a half laugh:''Have you came down here to find that out, and is Mr Roland going to help you?''
55244Her crime?
55244Here there was a general''movement of adhesion,''and an assenting murmur ran round, while the mild man repeated like an echo,''Where''s your proof?''
55244His face gave the answer; his lips only stammered,''How should I know?
55244Ho- la-- you''ve heard that name before?
55244How about Alice Hatfield?''
55244How are you going to serve him?''
55244How are you to- night?''
55244How are you?
55244How can people ever hope to act rightly, if they will persist in delegating other people to think for them?''
55244How can we think it of any value, the opinion of such as these?
55244How could he feel sure of anything, when here, where he had been so absolutely certain, he was proved to have been wrong?
55244How could he have been such a fool as ever to speak the words which made it impossible for him to see her again?
55244How could he have been such a fool as to forget the position of that tank?
55244How could he?
55244How did he know her?''
55244How did he know so much?
55244How did it fare with you this morning?''
55244How did it happen?
55244How did you come in?''
55244How did you like the book I sent you?''
55244How do you do?
55244How do you know anything about it?''
55244How do you like this Claude?''
55244How far are you going?
55244How had Alice met such a man?
55244How late was it?
55244How should they meet?
55244How was that?''
55244How will she bear it?
55244How would it be, he wondered, when he was not there any more to smooth things over?
55244How would it look on the menu?
55244How''s father?''
55244I am not mistaken in supposing that you always led the woman in question to believe that you looked upon her as your wife?''
55244I am not mistaken-- you were there, were n''t you?''
55244I am right, am I not?''
55244I asked him, did you take an interest in my movements?
55244I believe in England it is considered"bad form"to show feeling of any sort-- and you English hate sentiment, do n''t you?''
55244I ca n''t explain myself well, but you see what I mean-- don''t you?''
55244I dare say your father is right, and this present state is very strong, and perhaps none of us''( with whom was she classing herself?)
55244I did n''t mean to worry you; but you will tell me all about it by- and- by, wo n''t you?
55244I owe him that; I wonder if I owe him anything else?
55244I suppose nothing has been heard or seen of her?''
55244I suppose we must give the men some notice?''
55244I suppose you know him?''
55244I trust all is well with her?''
55244I wonder how it is?
55244I wonder if this is one of my good- looking days?''
55244I wonder when I shall attend a marriage?
55244If Richard''s eyes had not been so blinded by-- what?
55244If so, did he marry, and when did he marry her?
55244In spite of that, would she not be noble enough to trust her life entirely to him, and be his wife?
55244Is Mr Roland well?''
55244Is Russia so dear that it pushes all other claims out of sight?''
55244Is he the Count Michael Litvinoff that I know, or knew?
55244Is he to be trusted?''
55244Is it not so?''
55244Is there anything I can do to effect a reconciliation between you and your brother, and prevent this breach from growing wider?''
55244Is there nothing for you to do here?
55244Is there nothing we can do?''
55244Is there perhaps some other lady in the case?''
55244Is this Petrovitch a gentleman?''
55244It is n''t far, is it?''
55244It must be the same Litvinoff-- for had not Alice been present at his lecture in Soho?
55244May I ask, then, what you want here?''
55244May I be the first to hear of what help you stand in need?''
55244May I hope that you are not any the worse for the shock?''
55244May I in turn ask how he answered?''
55244May I trouble you to give it to him?''
55244May not your feelings on another matter have predisposed you to believe without evidence enough in this?''
55244My dear child, why not go home to them?
55244Need we say that his first idea had been to earn his living by literature?
55244No?
55244Not community of political sentiments, I guess?''
55244Now, what have you got to say?''
55244Oh, why have I left you since you have been ill?''
55244Or was it Dick?
55244Peculiar, is n''t it?''
55244Petrovitch repeated the question,''Ca n''t we have some tea?''
55244Really and truly, Clare; do you mean to be a countess?
55244Seriously, Clare-- how many of his books do you get through in a day?''
55244Shall I bring him to see you?''
55244Shall I get you dry ones, or will you go?''
55244Shall we go this way?
55244Shall we see Mr Richard again, do you think?''
55244Shall you refuse him?''
55244Sleep there?
55244So where''s the use?''
55244Splendid fellow, is n''t he?''
55244Surely you have n''t quarrelled?''
55244Tell me all about it?''
55244Tell me-- what does it all mean?
55244That also is to be for the cause?
55244That also is to be permitted, sanctioned, what you call approved?''
55244That''s what you were going to say, was n''t it?
55244The chased?
55244The girl was certainly very lovely, and if the exile thought so, as he glanced somewhat deprecatingly at the old gentleman, who shall blame him?
55244The mother asked him innumerable questions about Alice-- how had she looked, how had she spoken?
55244The question is, how can I best use it?''
55244Then where is your brother?''
55244Then, driven by an irresistible desire to know how the quarrel struck him, she asked him directly,--''Which do you think is in the wrong?''
55244Then, what is your motive for these questions?''
55244They''re very good people, but they have n''t a nice way with them, somehow, have they?
55244To let it fall on her with more force?
55244To that question no answer could ever be found; and in the meantime, what was to become of the rising generation?
55244Unaccountably?
55244Was he alive?
55244Was his evident interest in her only the interest of an apostle in a convert?
55244Was it Rowley as stole our Alice?''
55244Was it not the path he had himself chosen as being the noblest that any man''s feet could tread-- the path of utter self- renunciation?
55244Was it perhaps--''What did you say to him?''
55244Was it simply because Litvinoff had been the first name that had come into her head, or for some deeper or more important reason?
55244Was not this the fitting end for such as she?''
55244Was that Roland just came in?
55244Was there owt i''what folks set down i''Thornsett?
55244What Clare said to her?
55244What are they going to do?''
55244What are you doing now?''
55244What are you doing?''
55244What are you going to do with him?
55244What business have_ you_ here?
55244What but her note and Dick''s comments thereon could have ruffled Roland''s ordinarily even nature in this way?
55244What do they care about music or art or poetry or travelling?
55244What do you make of it?''
55244What had he heard?
55244What had she in common with this perfectly- dressed, orchid- button- holed young man?
55244What has tha heard?
55244What have you been doing with yourself?''
55244What have you done with that poor thing?''
55244What is yours?
55244What made you think so?''
55244What on earth should you close the mill for?''
55244What principles were they that the look in a girl''s eyes could destroy?
55244What right had a man who had taken up arms in_ that_ cause to lay them down, even at her feet?
55244What right had these two, on whose forbearance and good fellowship hung the fate of all these families, to go quarrelling with each other?
55244What shall I do with myself till my mysterious friend turns up?''
55244What shall I do?''
55244What sort of patriotism was it that the touch of a girl''s hand could wither?
55244What the deuce do you mean?''
55244What''ill it mean?
55244What''s the exact state of things?''
55244What''s wrong?''
55244What?
55244When shall I see you?''
55244Where are you off to?
55244Where did you come from?''
55244Where have they taken that fellow I knocked over?
55244Where is Roland?''
55244Where''s he gone to?''
55244Which way do you go?''
55244Who is he?''
55244Why did n''t you write?
55244Why did you leave us like that?
55244Why did you let me see you again after New Year''s Day?
55244Why did you take a false name to mislead me?''
55244Why do girls ever leave good homes, and come to such a home as mine is now?''
55244Why do n''t you go after my master an''teach him the ten commanders if you_ wants_ to Bible read?''
55244Why do you help me so?''
55244Why does one never learn at school the things one needs when one leaves it?
55244Why is it?''
55244Why just now?''
55244Why need you go?
55244Why not have let me know at once, when every day made things worse?
55244Why not sleep there?
55244Why should he not sleep here?
55244Why should she expect him to understand her?
55244Why should you have given those hounds two lives instead of one?''
55244Why, God bless my soul, you are n''t Chinese, are you?''
55244Will it be dangerous?
55244Will they be punished?
55244Will you and your brother dine with us( papa says) to- morrow evening at seven?
55244Will you go there and see it, and if you like it move there?
55244Will you go to Servia for me?''
55244Will you kindly tell me if anyone lives here named Hatfield?''
55244With that also you are satisfied?
55244Wo n''t that be charming?''
55244Wonder whether he''ll turn up to- night?''
55244Would Roland come this evening?
55244Would she have been gratified if she could have seen the effect of her note?
55244Would she not make his hard life a little easier to him?
55244Would she open it?
55244Yes, he must lie quiet, and yet, how could he?
55244You are not looking well; perhaps this situation depresses you?''
55244You did n''t take Miss Stanley for a walk on the Embankment, I presume?''
55244You have read his books, of course?''
55244You know Count Litvinoff?
55244You know that I thought you were dead?''
55244You love me still?''
55244You take a deep interest in his welfare-- is it not so?''
55244You wo n''t think me an awful bear?''
55244You''ll write and you''ll see me again?''
55244Your Count Litvinoff-- would he so have acted?''
55244cried Dick, losing control of his tongue at the sudden implication of himself in these charges;''what could I do?
55244doctor, how should I know?
55244he said at length;''how long am I to go on bearing your name?''
55244he said,''Now, what on earth can_ he_ want here?
55244said Richard, rising and taking a stride across the little room; but how did he go?''
55244she repeated slowly,''and I had so much to say-- to ask--''''Do you still need advice?''
55244this is good fortune,''he said;''your father is with you?''
55244what''s that?''
55244why, what''s cheaper nor our flesh and blood?''
55244you are leaving London?''
29617''Is it?'' 29617 ''The Gila Desert ai n''t_ all_ yours, is it, pardner?
29617A handle----?
29617A man''s got a right to protect himself, has n''t he? 29617 A message?"
29617About----?
29617Ah, I see what you''re getting at----"You will admit that what I say is true?
29617Am I? 29617 And Mrs. Bergen and Sarah?"
29617And a red automobile?
29617And does Mr. Jonathan McGuire have difficulty in getting men to work for him?
29617And have him barricadin''the house and shootin''promiscuous at me from the windows? 29617 And have him set loose after a trivial examination?
29617And have n''t you got friends here too? 29617 And he-- Hawk----?"
29617And how do you know all that?
29617And if I refuse----?
29617And is he dead too?
29617And it wo n''t make any difference----?
29617And keep me clear of the rest of your passengers?
29617And now, will you talk to me?
29617And then-- what happened?
29617And then----?
29617And they would have taken your money too?
29617And what did you say?
29617And what happened to the man who was appealing to them?
29617And what if I am----?
29617And what''s your name?
29617And whatever I am-- you''ll marry me?
29617And when you come back from the West, what will you do?
29617And where does Hawk Kennedy come in on this?
29617And where''s yours?
29617And who is in charge now?
29617And will I ripen too?
29617And would n''t they listen?
29617And ye wo n''t tell McGuire?
29617And you forgive me-- for what I did----? 29617 And you keep no watch for smoke?"
29617And you think Aunt Tillie----?
29617And you wish me to take charge at once?
29617And you''ll let me know if I can help-- Aunt Tillie or you?
29617And you''ll see this-- this niece of the housekeeper''s?
29617And you''ll stay on here and help me?
29617And you, Beth-- where do_ you_ come in?
29617And-- and you----? 29617 Anything else?"
29617Are you Mr. Shad Wells?
29617Are you apologizin''for not makin''love to me?
29617Are you really? 29617 Are you scared?"
29617Are you sure?
29617Are you, Mr. Nichols? 29617 B- Ben Cameron?
29617Because he-- he says I ought n''t to come here----"Oh, I see,he muttered, and then, with a grin,"and what do_ you_ think about it, Beth?"
29617Beth Cameron,said Peter gently,"the lady who has done me the honor of promising to become my wife----""But how do you know?"
29617Beth----?
29617Beth----?
29617Beth?
29617Breathing?
29617But Russia''s where you get your music from, is n''t it? 29617 But are n''t we nearly there?"
29617But are n''t you afraid-- when he comes?
29617But are n''t you curious to know_ why_ they did?
29617But do n''t you like dance music?
29617But his voice----?
29617But how can you make him do that?
29617But how can you make him do that?
29617But how can you?
29617But how----? 29617 But if you''re afraid of something----""Who said I was afraid?"
29617But of course it''s possible that McGuire and this John Bray could have met in New York----"What would Mr. McGuire be doin''with him?
29617But suppose he-- suppose----"What----?
29617But there is----"No, dearie----"Are you sick?
29617But they have n''t_ seen_ anything?
29617But what are you going to do?
29617But what did_ his_ job have to do with_ you_?
29617But what does the doctor say?
29617But what has Aunt Tillie got to do with-- with Hawk? 29617 But who else could it''a''been-- sayin''that name-- givin''that message?"
29617But why did n''t you go back to America and fight your claim with McGuire?
29617But why speak of him now?
29617But you would n''t swear it was Ben Cameron?
29617But you''re going to be, are n''t you? 29617 By proving which is the better man-- you or me----""Oh, it''s a fight ye mean?"
29617Ca n''t you forget it more easily by remembering me as I am now, Beth? 29617 Ca n''t you get this man to go down,"she said indicating Peter,"and tell them it''s all right?"
29617Can I do anything?
29617Can I get it?
29617Can you prove it?
29617City folks are n''t much on doin''for themselves, are they? 29617 Common name in some parts-- Cameron-- not so common in others-- not in Jersey anyway----""I did n''t know----""Is yer father livin''?"
29617Could you show me the way?
29617Could you tell me,asked Peter very politely as he found his voice,"if this road leads to Black Rock?"
29617D''ye know Beth?
29617D''ye think the old man will stand for that?
29617D''ye think there''s any danger, sir?
29617D- did he speak of me?
29617D- did he?
29617Dead?
29617Deny it? 29617 Did Ben Cameron have any distinguishing mark-- anything you could remember him by?"
29617Did I? 29617 Did n''t I play it?"
29617Did n''t I tell you that in future I would hire all the men myself?
29617Did n''t you tell me that you''d once had something to do with forestry in Russia?
29617Did they kill him?
29617Did you ever see such a nose and brows in your life? 29617 Did you know that to- night McGuire saw the stranger-- the man that_ you_ saw-- and that he''s even more frightened than you?"
29617Did you see McGuire?
29617Did you, Beth?
29617Do n''t you suppose I know that? 29617 Do n''t you think I''ll do?"
29617Do n''t you want to know what I''ve been-- who I am----?
29617Do n''t you? 29617 Do you admit this?"
29617Do you deny that you''re Ben Cameron?
29617Do you feel that way when you sing?
29617Do you help in the factory?
29617Do you mean it? 29617 Do you mean that you do n''t know the kind of a job you''ve got?"
29617Do you mean to say you''ve never thought of studying singing?
29617Do you reckon you can find your way back alone, Nichols?
29617Do you still think he''ll-- er-- swallow me at one gobble?
29617Do you think I have n''t been trying to keep my hands off you all these weeks?
29617Do you think I have n''t wanted you-- to teach you what women were meant for? 29617 Do you think I ought to be?"
29617Do you think he''d be likely to take Beth there?
29617Do you think you can make good?
29617Do you think you could stand hearing something very terrible about me, Beth?
29617Enough to-- enough to...?
29617Er-- would you mind telling me your name?
29617Exactly what----?
29617Fake money----?
29617Farmer----?
29617For my sake, for Beth''s----"What has Beth to do with it?
29617Forgive----? 29617 Funny, is n''t it?"
29617H- m,chuckled the Captain,"Found ye out, did they?
29617H- m,said Peter to himself as he hung up,"going to ignore that trifling incident altogether, is he?
29617Had enough?
29617Had the murdered man, for instance, lost the little finger of his left hand?
29617Has Shad been here?
29617Have n''t I told you? 29617 Have you any reason to believe that he might?"
29617Have you been up to the house lately?
29617Hawk Kennedy took her?
29617He may be sick, but it seems to me----she paused, and then,"Did you see his eyes as he looked out of the window?"
29617He told ye I done it, did he? 29617 He wore a short beard?"
29617He''s better?
29617He''s doin''as well as possible----"Will he get well?
29617He-- Mr. Nichols has told you everything----?
29617He-- he''ll get well, Doctor?
29617Hell of a thing to tackle single- handed, though, eh, boh?
29617How are you, Wells?
29617How did I get here?
29617How did it all happen?
29617How did you come here, Beth? 29617 How did you find your way?"
29617How do I know? 29617 How do the fires start?"
29617How do you know that?
29617How do you know?
29617How long have you been here?
29617How many men are on guard here at the house?
29617How much do I owe you?
29617How much is that?
29617How should I know? 29617 How-- different?"
29617How-- how much will the-- the money amount to?
29617I could n''t stand that----"And is_ this_ the way you punish me? 29617 I do n''t know----""Was his name-- was his name-- Ben Cameron?"
29617I do-- but Beth----"He''s taken her away-- don''t you understand?
29617I guess I ought to be glad I''m alive after----And then with an uncontrollable shudder, she asked,"And-- and--_him_?"
29617I mean, can you draw your gun and shoot quickly-- surely? 29617 I mean-- er-- there ai n''t anythin''else ye''d like?"
29617I must get there, nevertheless,he said;"is it far from here?"
29617I nearly killed a guy in the driveway,she went on,"who was he, Pop?"
29617I reckon_ they_ want to get you, do n''t they?
29617I take it that you do n''t want anybody ashore to know who ye are?
29617I''m not sure, but maybe----"Where----?
29617I''m sorry to disturb you, Mr. McGuire, but something has happened that I thought----"What''s happened?
29617I-- I guessed it----"Who told ye about Hawk Kennedy? 29617 In his business papers for''zecutors to look over?"
29617In the woods when you''re coming home----?
29617Incognito, is it? 29617 Is anything wrong at the camp?"
29617Is n''t it reasonable to think so? 29617 Is n''t it wonderful?"
29617Is there any organized system for fighting these fires?
29617Is your bag heavy?
29617It stays put and does n''t complain,and then turning to Peter--"Ye''re not expectin''any r''yal suite aboard the_ Phrygia_, are ye?"
29617It''s not''phoney''----?
29617Italian? 29617 Just that you did n''t seem quite yourself----""But not that I seemed-- er----""Alarmed?
29617Just you and Aunt Tillie? 29617 Let me go?"
29617Me?
29617Meanin''what?
29617Meaning what?
29617Meaning-- precisely what?
29617Mr. McGuire has told you?
29617Mr. Nichols has gone out?
29617Murder is a little out of my line----"You''re not going to fail me----?
29617No paper-- no receipt----?
29617No publicity?
29617No, I----?
29617No----"At McGuire''s----?
29617Not apt to come now, are they, Pete? 29617 Not until to- morrow?"
29617Nothing else?
29617Nothing to Sheldon?
29617Now, Wells,said Peter alertly,"you wanted to see me?"
29617Of what?
29617Oh, I do n''t know----It just comes out-- things I''ve heard-- things I make up----"What have you heard? 29617 Oh, a fighting man?"
29617Oh, did he? 29617 Oh, did n''t he?
29617Oh, do n''t they?
29617Oh, do you? 29617 Oh, you do n''t believe?
29617Oh, you work in a glass factory?
29617Oh,said Peter,"something crooked, eh?"
29617Oh,_ are_ you?
29617Oh-- how long ago?
29617Oh-- the war, you mean?
29617Particular, are you? 29617 Pay me?
29617People are n''t really equal-- are they? 29617 Phoney?"
29617Queer, is n''t it? 29617 Right smart, are n''t ye?"
29617Russia?
29617Say to him----?
29617See anything?
29617So this is where you live? 29617 Sounds like a fish, does n''t it?
29617Sure?
29617Tell me, what is it?
29617That you, Nichols?
29617That''s true, is n''t it?
29617The Trinity?
29617The chauffeur?
29617The little devils? 29617 The''Lizzie''?"
29617Then it is n''t a joke?
29617Then what_ did_ you mean?
29617Then you have n''t moved?
29617Then you knew him in-- in London?
29617Then you must be Beth Cameron''s aunt?
29617Then you will not join us? 29617 Then you''re afraid to fight?"
29617Then you''re not disappointed in the way it sounds, close up?
29617Then,said Peter,"you built a railroad in and sold out for half a million dollars----?"
29617Then? 29617 They''ve seen something----""You mean----?"
29617This chap seems to be rather in earnest, does n''t he? 29617 To- day?"
29617To- morrow-- sometime?
29617To- night?
29617Tryin''to set the woods afire?
29617Under cover?
29617W- Why?
29617W- where?
29617Was it----?
29617Was the Ben Cameron you knew, your brother- in- law-- was he tall?
29617Was this what you meant when you wanted to pay my way in New York? 29617 Was this what your teachin''meant?"
29617We''re safe, Peter-- the wind is changing----"And you, Beth----?
29617Well, Pete, what''s yer answer to be?
29617Well, Pete,he growled,"goin''to be starin''at me all night?"
29617Well, did you_ ever?_"No, I never did,replied Peter, smiling.
29617Well, it''s getting dark, what have you done about to- night?
29617Well, what are you going to do?
29617Well, what''s the answer? 29617 Well,"began the old man, with a glance at the door,"what did he say?"
29617Well,_ mon vieux_, it''s a little world, ai n''t it? 29617 Well-- er-- I''ve told my daughter and so-- would you mind putting on a dress suit----?
29617Were you in the war?
29617Wh- what are you goin''to do?
29617What am I sayin''----? 29617 What are you doing here?"
29617What are you going to do?
29617What did you say? 29617 What did you want to know for?"
29617What do you know of Hawk Kennedy?
29617What do you mean?
29617What do you mean?
29617What do you mean?
29617What do you mean?
29617What do you mean?
29617What do you sing?
29617What do you want for it?
29617What do you want me to do?
29617What does anarchy mean, then?
29617What does she think it is?
29617What else did Kennedy say?
29617What else did he tell you?
29617What else?
29617What happened then?
29617What have you heard?
29617What is McGuire frightened about? 29617 What is it, Pop?
29617What is it, sir?
29617What is it----? 29617 What it is?
29617What makes you think that I''m in a different mood now from when you left here?
29617What makes you think there will be shooting?
29617What of it? 29617 What on earth are you doing here?"
29617What on earth can she be doing in here?
29617What proof have you got?
29617What screws?
29617What then?
29617What vision do you see in that, Beth?
29617What''s a forester?
29617What''s a-- er-- Hellion?
29617What''s become of him now?
29617What''s happened?
29617What''s temperamental?
29617What''s that?
29617What''s that?
29617What''s the matter with Black Rock?
29617What''s the matter with Pop?
29617What''s the matter?
29617What''s the other half?
29617What''s the shootin''?
29617What''s yours?
29617What-- what are you going to do?
29617What-- what did-- you say?
29617What-- what do you mean?
29617What----?
29617What----?
29617What----?
29617What?
29617What?
29617What?
29617What?
29617When do I begin?
29617When?
29617When?
29617Where are they?
29617Where are you going?
29617Where did you see him?
29617Where have you hidden this streak of impudence all these weeks?
29617Where is he now?
29617Where then do you propose to go?
29617Where would he keep it?
29617Where would we watch from?
29617Where you goin''to wait, Pete? 29617 Where''s Jesse?"
29617Where''s the cabin?
29617Where''s the money comin''from?
29617Where-- where is the tree on which you found it?
29617Where? 29617 Where?"
29617Whether it would n''t have been better if I had n''t let you just remain-- er,he grinned,"a peach, let''s say?
29617Who are you to say where I come or go?
29617Who are you?
29617Who goes there?
29617Who is Shad Wells----?
29617Who is it?
29617Who put this man on?
29617Who told you that?
29617Who-- who shot him?
29617Who----? 29617 Who----?"
29617Who?
29617Why could n''t you have let things be?
29617Why did n''t he come himself?
29617Why did you deny what I said, Beth?
29617Why do n''t you go to him direct?
29617Why not? 29617 Why not?
29617Why not?
29617Why not?
29617Why should he attack me?
29617Why the H---- could n''t you come sooner?
29617Why, what is it, Aunt Tillie?
29617Why-- do you think anything is goin''to happen?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Why?
29617Will I?
29617Will I?
29617Will you answer me?
29617Will you help me to perform this act of justice?
29617Will you? 29617 Without money?"
29617Without the books?
29617Wo n''t I? 29617 Wo n''t you come in?
29617Wo n''t you sing again, Beth?
29617Wo n''t you tell me just what happened?
29617Wo n''t you tell me what he said? 29617 Wo n''t you tell us?
29617Wondering why I dropped in on you so unexpected- like? 29617 Worried, eh?"
29617Would he? 29617 Would n''t you-- if it cost you nothing and was the truth?
29617Would you mind singing for me, Beth?
29617Would you mind telling me your name?
29617Y- you''re all right?
29617Ye do n''t happen to be Miss Peggy McGuire, do ye?
29617Ye''ll keep yer word, Mister?
29617Ye''re not to make a noise, d''ye hear? 29617 Yes,"he replied generously,"you''ll sing that very well in time----""When I''ve suffered?"
29617You and Pete seem kind of thick, do n''t ye?
29617You city folk do n''t think much of yourselves, do you?
29617You did n''t recognize him, then?
29617You do get tired of Black Rock then?
29617You do n''t believe in wastin''your time, do you?
29617You do n''t mean that you have temptations too, Beth?
29617You do n''t mind my calling you Beth, do you?
29617You do say nice things, do n''t you?
29617You do want a lot of things, do n''t you?
29617You fool,he whispered quickly as he pinioned McGuire in his chair,"do you want to add another murder to what''s on your conscience?"
29617You fought?
29617You knew?
29617You know how to look after yourself-- to look after other men, to take charge of a considerable number of people in my employ?
29617You know----?
29617You mean that it makes you less miserable to discover that I share your fate?
29617You mean that you won''t-- that you do n''t care enough----?
29617You mean that you-- that I-- that Shad forced me on you?
29617You saw no one talking with Mrs. Bergen by the kitchen door?
29617You saw?
29617You say Hawk Kennedy was killed----?
29617You see? 29617 You seem to think you know a lot, Mister?"
29617You swear it?
29617You think-- he-- he''ll live?
29617You thought you saw something?
29617You wanted a forester----?
29617You''d dare----?
29617You''ll do this for me, wo n''t you, Nichols? 29617 You''ll just take that money out-- then come away----""And get nothing in return?"
29617You''ll see after him, wo n''t you? 29617 You''ll swear, Nichols, to say nothing of this to any one?"
29617You''re a good all- round man?
29617You''re armed, Nichols?
29617You''re from McGuire?
29617You''re one of the new detectives?
29617You''re sure?
29617You''re sure?
29617You''re to lie quite still until the doctor sees you----"The doctor----? 29617 You''re_ sure_ you want to go there?"
29617You''ve been working to- day?
29617You''ve known him a long time then?
29617You''ve thought of the movies?
29617You-- you''ve read this?
29617_ Garde toi bien, entendez vous? 29617 __ Boris Rylov was peering out past an iron door into the forest.__"There is no one there?"
29617__ The young man sprang to his feet.__You are sure of this?
29617__Ah,"eagerly,"they returned?
29617__You will not go to Zukovo to- night?
29617''You ai n''t got no objection to our stakin''alongside of you, have you?
29617''You''re the cook, ai n''t you?''
29617A grandson of McGuire''s?
29617A man----?"
29617A storm?
29617Ai n''t he the slick one, though?
29617Ai n''t that the truth?"
29617An''how he was----""Do you know where he took Beth Cameron?"
29617And Beth----?
29617And I''m going to get you some music----""Singin''music?"
29617And as she glanced at him inquiringly,"Did you notice that your Aunt Tillie seemed-- er-- frightened last night?"
29617And can I----?"
29617And did you find anybody?"
29617And even if she heard the sound of guns or even heard footsteps in the leaves, what chance had she of making known her whereabouts?
29617And had he and Shad only entrapped themselves to no good end?
29617And he''d better quit pesterin''me or I''ll----""What?"
29617And how long must----?
29617And if he had carried it all these years, where was it now?
29617And if one bandage could come loose by God''s help, why not another?
29617And if so, how and where had she known him without Beth''s being aware of it?
29617And if so, why?
29617And if they feared him, why did n''t they strike?
29617And the Princess?
29617And then almost sullenly again--"You understand?"
29617And then more quietly,"A joke?
29617And then quickly, with her characteristic frankness that always probed straight to her point,"You mean that_ you_ will pay my way?"
29617And then quietly,"Mrs. Bergen, was this man who came to the kitchen door, Ben Cameron, Beth''s father?"
29617And then timidly----"What did he say?"
29617And then we said we were short of water-- which we were not-- and had he any to spare?
29617And then with a grin,"Do you know?"
29617And then with a shrug,"Well?
29617And then, after a pause,"Was it a pretty house, Peter?"
29617And then, as an afterthought,"Are you?"
29617And then, as he made no reply,"What were you doing prowling around my cabin up by the creek?"
29617And then, briefly,"What are the facts on which you base this extraordinary statement?"
29617And then, haltingly,"What did he say to you?
29617And then, pleadingly,"You''re not going to talk-- to use it against me, Nichols?"
29617And then,"But why did you want to marry a prince?"
29617And then,"Did any one else see this-- this paper?"
29617And then,"Let_ her_ think I was_ engaged_ to you when I was n''t?"
29617And then,"McGuire asked you to say that?"
29617And then,"Of course you did n''t take that message to McGuire?"
29617And then,"Oh-- how-- how_ could_ you?"
29617And then,"See here, Pete, do you know anything of what''s between me and McGuire?"
29617And then,"What''s the matter with Wells?"
29617And then,"Where''s Shad?"
29617And then,"You did n''t see any one come away from the kitchen door?"
29617And then,"You have n''t said anything of this to any one?"
29617And then,"You say a woman read it?"
29617And then,"You''re not spoofing, are you?"
29617And then,"You''ve never taken the trouble to make any inquiries as to the whereabouts of the family of Ben Cameron?"
29617And upon what topic was she writing to him?
29617And was it Peter that he was going to...?
29617And was the daughter of McGuire like her father, unlovely, soiled and terror- stricken?
29617And what other object than a political one?
29617And what right had Peter given her to address him in terms of such affection?
29617And what then----?"
29617And what then?
29617And what was now to be the result of this visit?
29617And what was this danger to him from hidden enemies, which could make necessary this discretion and watchfulness in Black Rock?
29617And what was this reckoning to be?
29617And what was this----?
29617And what were the facts that Jim Coast_ did n''t_ tell?
29617And what will I be callin''your Highness?"
29617And what would he be doing there?
29617And when?"
29617And where could that look of recognition have sprung from unless he had identified Peter Nichols as the Grand Duke Peter Nicholaevitch?
29617And where was the man with the black mustache?
29617And who-- who the devil are you?"
29617And why should Beth be involved in the danger?
29617And will you give the necessary orders to him?"
29617And with a glance at Peter''s bag--"Are you the man for McGuire''s on the six- thirty?"
29617And ye do n''t know who she is?
29617And yet what the meaning of Jim Coast''s strange actions at the mention of his name?
29617And yet why had Coast been so perturbed at the mere mention of Ben Cameron''s name?
29617And yet, was it a failure after all?
29617And you were more frightened than ever?"
29617And you were n''t shot at?"
29617And you''ll come to- morrow?"
29617And you-- what did you do?"
29617And you?"
29617And, as she refused to reply,"Do you want me to tell Mr. McGuire that you were talking to a stranger at the kitchen door?"
29617And-- and Shad----?
29617Any one else?"
29617Anythin''I can do for ye?"
29617Are n''t they pretty?"
29617Are we not all dedicated to the same misfortunes?
29617Are y''on?"
29617Are ye dumb?"
29617Are ye?
29617Are you goin'', Beth?"
29617Are you pretty quick on the draw?"
29617Are you sick?"
29617Are you sure?"
29617Are you with me or against me?"
29617Are you with me sure enough-- hope I may die-- cross my heart?"
29617Are you?
29617Are you?
29617At the Cabin?"
29617At the Ritz or the Commodore?
29617Ben Cameron?
29617Besides, Hawk had had the whole of the morning and most of the afternoon in which to carry out his purpose.... What was that purpose?
29617Beth''s father?
29617Beth''s song?
29617Blackmail?
29617But I''ve suffered for it, Miss----"And then eagerly----"You do n''t mind my calling you Beth, do you?"
29617But can I count on_ you_, Pete?"
29617But how could he guess all that?
29617But how?
29617But we only laughed at him-- for did n''t we both see the kind of an egg Ben Cameron was settin''on?
29617But what did he mean by changin''the guards?"
29617But what difference does that make?
29617But what does it all mean?
29617But what then?
29617But what was Hawk Kennedy''s mission now?
29617But what was Mrs. Bergen''s reason for wishing to get rid of her?
29617But where had she gone-- where?
29617But where was the letter itself?
29617But why do you bring this question up now?"
29617But why?
29617But you_ will_ forgive me, wo n''t you?"
29617But----""But what----?"
29617CHAPTER VI THE HOUSE OF TERROR Who-- what was this stranger who seemed so interested in his whereabouts?
29617Ca n''t yer speak, girl?
29617Ca n''t you see that?"
29617Can you arrange it?"
29617Could she reach it with her wrists?
29617Could the same Thing that had frightened McGuire have frightened the housekeeper too?
29617Curious, ai n''t you, Pete?"
29617D''ye hear?
29617Did he have another spell last night?
29617Did n''t he see that she might be worth making love to... just a little, a very little... once in a while?
29617Did n''t he see what she looked like?
29617Did n''t the''Lizzie''meet the six- thirty?"
29617Did ye think I was goin''to let ye be burned to death?"
29617Did you bring your books?"
29617Did you know him, ma''am?"
29617Did you learn music in Russia?"
29617Do n''t I know who I am?"
29617Do n''t I look sick?"
29617Do n''t ye see I ai n''t fit to talk to anybody?"
29617Do n''t ye see I ca n''t?"
29617Do n''t you think I might take two-- er-- gobbles?"
29617Do n''t you think it''s about time you did?
29617Do n''t you want it?"
29617Do you feel stronger?"
29617Do you know Hawk Kennedy?"
29617Do you know anything----?"
29617Do you know her?"
29617Do you know where he could have taken her?"
29617Do you know where he is?
29617Do you know where he''s gone with her?
29617Do you like it?"
29617Do you still deny all this?"
29617Do you think I have n''t seen how lovely you are?
29617Do you think I''m a saint-- an anchorite?
29617Do you think Peggy noticed?"
29617Do you think it would be possible for a spoiled creature like me to find a boudoir with a bath-- that is, in the provinces, outside of New York?
29617Er-- and courageous?
29617Feeling better now?"
29617For instance, whether he was smoothly shaven or whether he had a beard-- or-- or a mustache?"
29617French?
29617Funny, is n''t it?"
29617Got loose, hey?
29617Had he?
29617Had he?
29617Had her liberty come too late?
29617Had n''t I seen the bones bleaching all along the trail?
29617Had she known him somewhere in the past-- in England-- in Russia?
29617Had this sophistication come as an afterthought, born of something that had passed between them?
29617Has Sacha been fighting with you again?
29617Has he any right to speak to you like this?"
29617Has he?
29617Has she got a''beau''with her?
29617Have I not done everything I could to help them?
29617Have a cigarette?
29617Have n''t you ever lived in a fairy tale and loved a princess?"
29617Have you anything to say?"
29617He do n''t know either----""Who?
29617He told you what I wanted?"
29617He wanted one of those guys to kill me, did n''t he?
29617He was out here when you went to the Cabin for them plans----""Out here?"
29617He was quite calm now, and the tones of his voice were almost boyish in their confidence and gayety.__"Well, what is it, Vasili?"
29617He, the Grand Duke Peter Nicholaevitch, in love with this little rustic?
29617Heart coming on nicely----""Will h- he live?"
29617Her laugh was much like her singing-- if angels in Paradise laugh( and why should n''t they?).
29617Here?
29617Honor, righteousness, pride, straight living, the ambition to do, to achieve something real by his own efforts-- to what end?
29617How could Hawk have found out about Beth Cameron?
29617How did you happen to come to Black Rock?"
29617How had he learned of Beth''s existence and how, knowing of it, had he managed to beguile her away from the village?
29617How long d''ye think it will last, sir?"
29617How otherwise could Mrs. Bergen''s terror be accounted for?
29617How would_ you_ like to be treated the way_ I_ was treated by Mike McGuire?"
29617How''s that?"
29617I assume that you want me to take command of the men policing your grounds-- and immediate property?"
29617I did n''t say you were to shoot him, did I?"
29617I helped them----""Then why did they burn down your castle?"
29617I know too much of your affairs-- more than you think I do----""He talked----?"
29617I mean, d''ye think----,"she stammered,"did Mr. McGuire say-- just what it is he''s afraid of?"
29617I saw----""What, sir?"
29617I suppose I humor her a bit-- who would n''t?
29617I''m so-- you''re so----""What?"
29617If anything should turn up to make you unhappy or to make your aunt unhappy and I can help you, wo n''t you let me know?"
29617If he_ were_ Ben Cameron, why should n''t he have acknowledged the fact?
29617If it has been destroyed----""I''ll have to have proof of that----""Wo n''t you leave that in my hands?"
29617If marriage was what he meant, why did n''t he say so?
29617If robbery, why had n''t the man chosen the time while Peter was away in the woods?
29617If she had n''t been so sure of him.... Idealism?
29617If the dishonest purpose were murder or injury, why had n''t he attacked Peter while he was bathing, naked and quite defenseless, in the creek?
29617Is he badly hurt?"
29617Is he coming back?"
29617Is it?
29617Is n''t it enough for me to admit that?"
29617Is n''t that what you wanted, Beth?
29617Is she going to be here long?
29617Is that a bargain?"
29617Is that clear?"
29617Is that satisfactory?"
29617Is that so?...
29617Is this the man you''ll take your orders from?
29617Is your father dead?"
29617It seemed obvious that he was here for some dishonest purpose, but what dishonest purpose could have any interest in Peter?
29617It''s hidden in the woods down this path at the right----""That''s where you live, is it?"
29617Let him go, you say?
29617Looks like the hand o''Fate, does n''t it?
29617Love?
29617Maybe he did n''t give God a chance?"
29617Maybe-- the heat----""But your eyes look queer----""Do they----?"
29617Maybe----""Where?"
29617McGuire frowned and then growled,"How can I help admitting it, since you know the facts?
29617McGuire?"
29617McGuire?"
29617McGuire?"
29617McGuire?"
29617McGuire?"
29617Me?
29617Mike killed him----""You do n''t mean----?"
29617Must ye sit there just starin''at me with yer big eyes?
29617New life-- happiness-- with a mate... his woman-- soon to be his wife-- whether Beth Nichols or the Grand Duchess Elizabeth...?
29617Nichols''s?"
29617Nichols?"
29617Nichols?"
29617Nichols?"
29617Nichols?"
29617Nichols?"
29617Nichols?"
29617Oily, fat little beef- eater with the gold teeth?
29617On the way?
29617Or had he...?
29617Or must I----?"
29617Or too horrible?
29617Or was it merely a feminine instinct seeking expression?
29617Or was this a little private conspiracy arranged for Peter alone?
29617Or who Pete is?
29617Or why would I find a voice like yours out here?"
29617Perhaps I should n''t have asked?"
29617Pete said it was your money McGuire took-- your money McGuire''s got to make good to ye?
29617Peter had lived that scene again and again, but how could Beth know unless he had made her see it?
29617Peter took a chance and called out,"Is that you, Hawk Kennedy?"
29617Peter was aware that the man was watching him as he picked up the bills and heard him ask haltingly,"What are you-- going to do-- with that money?"
29617Put my foot in it, did n''t I?
29617Queer, is n''t it?
29617Quiet as death, ai n''t he?
29617Say we are, wo n''t you?"
29617Say, Pete, whatever put_ that_ into your head?"
29617Send the men on in relays when they come-- with shovels and sacks.... What did you say?...
29617Shad asked me to come and get you, did n''t you, Shad?"
29617She must n''t know----"And then eagerly,"She does n''t suspect anything yet, does she, Nichols?"
29617Sheldon?
29617Slam the door, will ye?"
29617Slovak?"
29617So he ventured,"Did you hear from your father before he died?"
29617Some village,--what?"
29617Spanish?
29617Superintendent, eh?
29617Suppose I refuse?"
29617That I love you?
29617That meant he was comin''up in the world-- see?
29617That this man belonged to another life that Peter had lived?
29617That was an Elfentanz----""What''s that?"
29617That''s his name, ai n''t it?
29617That''s true, is n''t it?"
29617The Grand Duke made out the words:__"They''re burning the Hunting Lodge-- where is the Master----?
29617The_ savate_--wasn''t it?
29617Then turning to the old servitor,"But, Vasili-- why is it that I have heard nothing of this?
29617Then which way were you thinkin''of goin''home?"
29617Then you an''Beth come in----""And_ was_ it Ben Cameron that you saw?"
29617They dock you for that----""And that''s why you sing when you ca n''t break anythin''?"
29617To- morrow?"
29617Tried to make us''divy''on the tips?
29617Understand?
29617Understand?"
29617Understand?"
29617Understand?"
29617Understand?"
29617Was he John Bray?
29617Was he a part of the same conspiracy which threatened McGuire?
29617Was he also the man who had frightened Mrs. Bergen?
29617Was it a fool''s errand?
29617Was it possible that she could have slept so long?
29617Was it that?
29617Was not the present all- sufficient?
29617Was revenge his motive now, stronger since her revelation of her parentage?
29617Was she beautiful?
29617Was she young?
29617Was the vision too intimate?
29617Was there any other place that he knew about?"
29617Was there-- had there ever been-- anything between Anastasie Galitzin and this-- this Peter Nichols?
29617We came by Lakewood and Brown''s Mills and-- Why who----?"
29617What are ye lookin''at?
29617What cabin?"
29617What could he fear?
29617What d''ye say?
29617What did he do?
29617What did he mean?
29617What did he mean?
29617What did he say?"
29617What did he want of Peter and why should he skulk around the cabin and risk the danger of Peter''s bullets?
29617What did it all mean?
29617What did it all mean?
29617What did ye come here to see Pete about?
29617What did you say to her?"
29617What did you want me to say to you?
29617What do you dream of, Beth?"
29617What do you think Mike McGuire cares about_ you_?"
29617What do you think of that?"
29617What do you want me to do?"
29617What does it matter how good their hearts are if their brains are bad?
29617What does it matter who my fathers were?
29617What else could she think but that?
29617What else?"
29617What enemy of McGuire''s could frighten Aunt Tillie into prostration and seal her lips to speech?
29617What had Peter to do with the cause of Holy Russia?
29617What had become of him now?
29617What had happened at the mine that was too terrible even to speak about?
29617What had he said to her?
29617What had it said?
29617What had this stranger to do with Ben Cameron?
29617What he expected to find there he did not know, but it seemed clear that Beth had come this way in the morning and if not to the Cabin, where else?
29617What if Hawk Kennedy failed to appear?
29617What match was she for a clever desperate rogue who balked at nothing?
29617What must he do-- which way turn?
29617What right had the heliotrope lady''s heart to beat fondly in memory of dear dead days with Peter Nichols at Galitzin or Zukovo or anywhere else?
29617What shall I do with him----?
29617What specter out of the past could conjure up the visions he had seen dancing between McGuire''s eyes and his own?
29617What was he to her?
29617What was her relationship to Peter?
29617What was it you saw?
29617What was the answer?
29617What was the bond between these two men, which held the successful one in terror, and the other in silence?
29617What was the use of it all?
29617What was there about this shadow that suggested to Peter the thought that this whole incident had happened before?
29617What was this Thing that created terror at sight?
29617What was this secret and how could she share it with McGuire when twenty- four hours ago she had been in complete ignorance of the mystery?
29617What were Peter''s relations with this creature who behaved so strangely at the mention of her name?
29617What''s a breach of promise case?
29617What''s a lawyer''s fee from a corporation but money paid by men to keep them out of the jail?
29617What''s a million more or less to him?
29617What''s a waiter''s tip but blackmail for good service?
29617What''s that letter ye came to give him?
29617What''s this mean, girl?
29617What----?"
29617What?...
29617When did this happen?
29617When----?"
29617When?"
29617Where did ye get this letter?"
29617Where had he gone unless to Black Rock again?
29617Where had he left her when he had returned to Black Rock House to rob McGuire?
29617Where had he taken Beth?
29617Where is it?"
29617Where was he hiding?"
29617Where would I have been?"
29617Where''s Brierly?
29617Where''s Stryker?"
29617Where''s this tool house?"
29617Where''s yer St. Paul''s and Kremlin now?
29617Where?"
29617Who else could it''a''been?
29617Who is this stranger?"
29617Who said I was afraid?
29617Who shall I say called?"
29617Who told ye about him?"
29617Who told you?"
29617Who was he?
29617Who was she?
29617Who was the lady of the delicate script and the strange perfume?
29617Who was the man you talked to outside the door?"
29617Who was to tell her?
29617Who were you goin''to''phone to?"
29617Who''s going to give it to me?"
29617Who----?
29617Who?
29617Who?"
29617Who_ is_ Peter Nichols?
29617Whom had these things belonged to?
29617Whom shall I see?
29617Whom?
29617Whose voice was that?
29617Why did he speak of Ben Cameron?
29617Why did n''t he come?"
29617Why did n''t he finish her question for her?
29617Why did n''t they shoot him?"
29617Why did n''t you tell me so?"
29617Why do you ask?"
29617Why do you think so?"
29617Why had he tied himself to such a duty from a motive of silly sentimentalism?
29617Why had n''t McGuire taken flight?
29617Why is it that good people have nothin''but trouble?
29617Why otherwise did his restless feet lead him out into the pasture back of the little post office toward the rear of Mrs. Bergen''s house?
29617Why should I be?
29617Why should he be?
29617Why should he have?
29617Why should it matter so much to him what this girl thought of him?
29617Why should you think that?"
29617Why the devil did she want to come nosing about in America, reminding him of all the things that he wanted to forget?
29617Why was Anastasie Galitzin so perturbed at learning of the wounds of Peter Nichols?
29617Why would n''t she have dared to tell Peter what she had seen?
29617Why would n''t she talk?
29617Why?
29617Why?"
29617Will you answer me truthfully?
29617Will you have a drink of your own?
29617Will you help me to a ship sailing for America?"
29617Will you let me come again?"
29617Will you take it?"
29617Will you, Beth?
29617Wo n''t you come in?
29617Would he grow straight and true in this foreign soil or gnarled and misshapen like the cedars and the maples that he saw?
29617Would n''t like to of done you hurt----""And then----?"
29617Would n''t you, Shad?"
29617Would the fabric of which the American Ideal was made be strong enough to hold together against the World''s new madness?
29617Would you mind telling me?
29617Ye''ll get me out o''this scrape?"
29617Yes,_ Beth_--can''t you understand?...
29617You ai n''t really the Grand Duke Peter, are you?"
29617You believe me, do n''t you?"
29617You did n''t like him?"
29617You do n''t mean----?"
29617You do n''t think any the less of me, do you, Beth?"
29617You forgive me, Beth?"
29617You hear me?
29617You see?"
29617You understand?"
29617You want to inflame-- pillage-- destroy-- And what then?"
29617You want to sell it?"
29617You wanted to see Miss Peggy''s new frock through the keyhole?"
29617You were brought up in a different kind of life in a different way of thinkin''from mine----""What has that got to do with it?"
29617You were coming to supper?"
29617You were n''t born here, were you?
29617You wo n''t tell, Pete?"
29617You would n''t think Mike McGuire was a murderer-- would you?"
29617You''ll be up soon?"
29617You''ll come soon?"
29617You''ll forgive me,''Ighness?"
29617You''re English, are n''t you?"
29617You''re afraid to negotiate the sale ashore?"
29617You''re an agent of the Union of Russian Workers, are n''t you?"
29617You''re not addicted to''nerves''?
29617You''re not goin''to-- to take the risk of-- of havin''me''vamp''you, are you?"
29617You''re not going to back out now?"
29617You''re not lyin'', are you?"
29617You''re pretty tired of this night work?"
29617You''re strong, Mr. Nichols?
29617You''re sure my daughter Peggy knows nothing?"
29617You''re----?"
29617You''ve had experience?"
29617You''ve studied?
29617You''ve thought of something, Nichols?"
29617You_ have_ had troubles, have n''t you?"
29617Your name''s Cameron?"
29617_ Nom de Dieu!_ Remember that( sanguine) steward on the_ Bermudian_?
29617_ Now_, as a matter of fact----""How?"
29617_ Then_ how would the trees get along?"
29617cried Garshin eagerly.__"Where are the others?"
29617he breathed, the air whistling between his teeth,"Out West, ye say-- out West?"
29617muttered Beth,"who on earth----?"
