18010 | Am I not your friend? 18010 Am I sure, Marie? |
18010 | And Marie Gourdon? |
18010 | And do you know, Marie, what her death means to me? |
18010 | And he told you about Lady Margaret, about his wife being dead? |
18010 | And is that all you have to say to me, my father? |
18010 | And what have you been doing, my dear one, since I have been away? |
18010 | Are you, indeed? |
18010 | Are you? |
18010 | But where is Mademoiselle Laurentia? |
18010 | Could you not understand what he wanted? |
18010 | Did it strike you in that way? |
18010 | Did you ever meet him there? |
18010 | Elsie, would you like me to sing for you now? |
18010 | Eugène, why should you put the Atlantic between us? |
18010 | Father, do you mean what you said just now? 18010 For me, Julie, at this hour? |
18010 | Going away? 18010 Have you, indeed? |
18010 | How are Lady Severn and Miss Elsie? |
18010 | How do I like this country? 18010 How do you feel, Mr. Lacroix, to- day, after all your triumphs yesterday? |
18010 | I knew him better than either of you, his weakness, his indecision; but it was not for me to warn you, how could I? 18010 I must marry my cousin?" |
18010 | Indeed, Marie, what can it be? 18010 Indeed, so soon? |
18010 | Indeed? 18010 Indeed? |
18010 | Is she not pretty? 18010 Mademoiselle Laurentia?" |
18010 | Marie Gourdon? 18010 Marie, can you ask me that? |
18010 | Marie, do you care? 18010 Marie, do you not know?" |
18010 | Marie, my dear one,he said,"what are you doing out so far alone, and at this hour too? |
18010 | May I? |
18010 | May we sit here? |
18010 | Noël McAllister called on you, Marie? |
18010 | Really? |
18010 | Reproach you? 18010 Seen her before? |
18010 | So, you did know the prima donna before? |
18010 | Surely the steamer is late this week? |
18010 | Then what shall it be? 18010 Then you are sorry for him?" |
18010 | Was that all he told you? |
18010 | Well, Mademoiselle Laurentia, how is your head now? 18010 Well, Noël, my son, what did you get this time? |
18010 | What are the conditions? |
18010 | What did you tell her? |
18010 | What else can I have to say to you? 18010 What has that to do with it, Noël? |
18010 | What is Eugène Lacroix like? |
18010 | What is he, then? |
18010 | What is she like? |
18010 | What is that, Noël? |
18010 | What is this tremendous secret? |
18010 | What of her? 18010 What, Noël you have not come into this fortune?" |
18010 | What, Noël, never? 18010 Where did you leave your boat?" |
18010 | Where is the painter of this masterpiece? |
18010 | Who is she? 18010 Why, McAllister, whatever is the matter with you? |
18010 | Why, what do you mean, Marie? |
18010 | Yellow hair-- yes, yes; but her disposition, her character? 18010 Yes, do n''t you remember her? |
18010 | You are not going away? |
18010 | You can not understand, Marie? 18010 You think them absurd?" |
18010 | And I, long exiled from all I cherished, how have I progressed? |
18010 | And are you pleased to see me?" |
18010 | And have you heard about Lady Margaret?" |
18010 | And how did your dinner- party go off?" |
18010 | And then----""Do you know, Ivan, that by your mad folly you seriously endanger the McAllister estates? |
18010 | And who may the un--"( he had nearly said unfortunate, but corrected himself in time)"fortunate damsel be?" |
18010 | And you, my dear one, do you long to see those countries beyond the sea? |
18010 | Are you going to Lady Severn''s to- night to dinner?" |
18010 | Are you going to see her? |
18010 | Are you ill?" |
18010 | Are you sure, Noël?" |
18010 | Better, I hope?" |
18010 | Blame him-- he was worthy of blame; but, pausing for a moment, may it not be said that nine men out of ten would have decided as did Noël McAllister? |
18010 | But how send her to Paris? |
18010 | But what was the reason for this sudden step? |
18010 | But why not go to Quebec or Montreal? |
18010 | Can ye not stay wi''us?" |
18010 | Can you give me Mademoiselle Laurentia''s address?" |
18010 | Can you pretend not to understand? |
18010 | Come back soon,"said the old lady, and, as she heard the door close on Noël, she smiled grimly to herself and muttered,"The news, eh? |
18010 | Did you by word or look recognize me? |
18010 | Do you know her? |
18010 | Do you mean for leaving me? |
18010 | Do you mean to say you will never forgive me if I go to my prince?" |
18010 | Do you think I am exactly the same person I was ten years ago? |
18010 | Do you think I am the same little country girl whose heart you won so easily and threw aside when better prospects offered?" |
18010 | Do you think Mademoiselle Laurentia would spend a week with us at the Glen?" |
18010 | Does he come from Father Point?" |
18010 | For what? |
18010 | Good idea, eh?" |
18010 | Have I distressed you? |
18010 | Have you any news, my mother?" |
18010 | Have you ever seen her before?" |
18010 | Have you seen a ghost? |
18010 | Have you?" |
18010 | How can I leave her?" |
18010 | How could I have seen her before?" |
18010 | How is Marie Gourdon?" |
18010 | How many of those illustrious souls, then so full of life and power, remain? |
18010 | I have it with me; shall I leave it here?" |
18010 | Is anything sure in this world, Marie?" |
18010 | Is not this a fine old garden? |
18010 | Is she amiable?" |
18010 | Is that all you have to say to me after these years?" |
18010 | Is the mighty Gulf sure of its ebb and flow? |
18010 | Is yonder great rock, on which countless tides have beaten, sure? |
18010 | Jack, how are you?" |
18010 | Lacroix?" |
18010 | Lady Margaret dead? |
18010 | Marie Gourdon has one of those pure white souls----""Perhaps I had better not go on?" |
18010 | McAllister, old boy, how are you? |
18010 | McAllister?" |
18010 | Noël, is that you? |
18010 | She rose hurriedly, as her son drew near, and cried out in her pretty French voice:"Oh, Noël, my son, is that you?--is it indeed you? |
18010 | The girl did not answer, and he went on:"Tell me, Marie, do you care for me or do you not?" |
18010 | The only house on the road with a red- tiled roof you said? |
18010 | Then, of course, there is the church, for in what village, however small, in Lower Canada is there not a church? |
18010 | What claim had I to remind her of the old days at Father Point, of my life- long devotion? |
18010 | What do you mean?" |
18010 | What else could I do? |
18010 | What has a faithful follower of the Cross to do with the vanities of this world? |
18010 | What is the matter with you? |
18010 | What name shall I say, please, sir?" |
18010 | What was the matter with M. le curé this afternoon? |
18010 | What''s his name?" |
18010 | When I was poor, struggling alone, friendless, did you even write to me? |
18010 | Where was she? |
18010 | Where was the money to come from? |
18010 | Who is he?" |
18010 | Why are you star- gazing here? |
18010 | Why did M. Bois- le- Duc teach me of an outer world beyond the bleak Gulf of St. Lawrence? |
18010 | Why did he leave in this way? |
18010 | Why did he teach me to read Virgil and Plato? |
18010 | Why had he not told his friends? |
18010 | Will ye no stay wi''us a while longer? |
18010 | Will you come with me?" |
18010 | Would you like another?" |
18010 | Would you like to read it?" |
18010 | Would you not like to go into Parliament to make a name for yourself? |
18010 | Wouldst thou be honored for thyself or that? |
18010 | Wouldst thou be honored for thyself or that? |
18010 | You persist in your selfish course of folly? |
18010 | You were fêted by the highest in the land, all London was at your feet-- what had I to do with the brilliant prima donna? |
18010 | You will go in spite of all I say?" |
18010 | You''ll come with me to- morrow, eh? |
18010 | _ Did_ you see her? |
18010 | and for what purpose?" |
18010 | have you no wish for more? |
18010 | is that half- past six striking? |
18010 | my dear one,"sobbed his mother, now fairly breaking down and weeping piteously,"must ye go, must ye go?" |
18010 | painted by a man called Eugène Lacroix? |
18010 | said Lacroix, with the persistency of a cross- examining lawyer,"And you Marie, what did you say?" |
18010 | wouldst thou set thy rank before thyself? |
18010 | wouldst thou set thy rank before thyself? |
18010 | you are determined? |
36945 | ''After that?'' 36945 ''How many were there?'' |
36945 | And now, Keller Bey, what do you mean to do with me? |
36945 | And the comrades who died fighting, what of them? |
36945 | And the others-- were they present? 36945 And who may your father be? |
36945 | And your duty to Linn and Alida? |
36945 | Anything to leave? |
36945 | Are you there, Jack Jaikes? |
36945 | Are you wounded? |
36945 | Because_ you_ do? |
36945 | But I mean-- she is very learned-- will she look down upon me who have to step carefully among abysses of ignorance? |
36945 | But Keller Bey? |
36945 | But Rhoda Polly, her mother, and the others-- are they in danger? |
36945 | But are they men to trust? |
36945 | But not in anger-- not to do him any hurt? |
36945 | But what are you going to do all day-- and I? 36945 But what is it that they want, sir?" |
36945 | But you scourged them too? |
36945 | But, Angus, have you thought of Jeanne? |
36945 | But, then, how about the people with whom you have talked, and who may be depending on your words? |
36945 | Can we not do something better for them than the kitchen floor? |
36945 | Can you trust him? |
36945 | Come in, Jack Jaikes-- what will you take? 36945 Could he be moved?" |
36945 | Dennis Deventer? 36945 Did you know that man?" |
36945 | Did-- anybody-- send-- word-- that-- you-- were-- wanted? |
36945 | Do all the foreigners in the world think that France has need of them to fight her battles? |
36945 | Do you not find yourself comfortable among us? |
36945 | Do you not understand that I am here to prevent all that? 36945 Do you think it is a proper thing,"said Linn,"that a maid should follow two young men?" |
36945 | Do you think she meant that? |
36945 | Does he mean such comfortable old soup- bags as Père Félix, or wine- skins like Pipe- en- Bois, or alcohol gutters like the Marshal Soult? 36945 Far?" |
36945 | Father,I said, as if my calling hours were the most ordinary in the world,"will you come across to the window for a moment?" |
36945 | Great God, what''s that? |
36945 | Had you not a little private war of your own a month ago? |
36945 | Have you anything to say? |
36945 | Have you ever kissed her? |
36945 | Have you made it all right with father? |
36945 | How did you come here? |
36945 | How did you know that? |
36945 | How long ago was that? |
36945 | How so? |
36945 | How that? 36945 I shall love it,"cried Rhoda Polly,"but what else am I to do?" |
36945 | Idiot,he cried,"who can carry a man of Keller''s size but you? |
36945 | If you get through all right----? |
36945 | Is it late? 36945 Is it permitted to read?" |
36945 | Is she very clever? |
36945 | Matteo of the left hand, how goes the other to- day? 36945 No, I never set eyes on him before,"said the Bey carelessly as before;"is there anything against him?" |
36945 | Now,said Alida,"you have heard the letter of the Emir, my father-- what am I to reply to him? |
36945 | Poor precious waif,she said,"if she is wayward and a little difficult-- who can wonder? |
36945 | Surely there is no danger here? |
36945 | Tell me,she said, with a pitiful little gesture of appeal,"must I obey my father? |
36945 | The house was a rich one? |
36945 | The letter? 36945 The old''reds''? |
36945 | Then I may take it that she does not mean to come herself? |
36945 | Then you are ready? |
36945 | They are fine lads, eh, Linn? |
36945 | This is mine,he muttered,"and what have I been caring for? |
36945 | This is not proper love- making, but we simply ca n''t do without one another, can we, Rhoda Polly? 36945 Though I agree that the thing itself is impossible-- that I can not marry Ali Mohammed the slave and slave''s son-- tell me what is to be done? |
36945 | Up, indeed-- I believe you,said Chanot;"but what are some fragments of gold plate? |
36945 | Was it a big gun? 36945 Wash your hands of the responsibility, will you, Keller? |
36945 | We have seen something like this when the English lads came to us in Sicily eleven years ago, eh, brother? 36945 Well, and suppose she finds it without crossing the bridge-- what then?" |
36945 | Well, but you see I ca n''t leave all these-- where''s your doctor? |
36945 | Well, what have you to tell me now that you are here? 36945 Well,"he said,"I see you are glad you went?" |
36945 | What Jeanne? |
36945 | What can I do for you? |
36945 | What could not a score of us be doing with plenty of ammunition and our Deventer rifles? |
36945 | What did I tell you? |
36945 | What do you here, bandit and traitor? |
36945 | What guns, sir? |
36945 | What is it, Keller Bey? |
36945 | What of Dennis? |
36945 | What of them? |
36945 | What shall I do when you are gone? |
36945 | What would Miss Balfour- Lansdowne say to that at Selborne College? |
36945 | What''s all this, boys? |
36945 | What, Angoos,_ mon ami_, have I all those friends already? 36945 What-- the-- devil-- are-- you-- doing-- there?" |
36945 | Where are Hannah and Liz? |
36945 | Where have you come from,he demanded,"that you do not know Keller Chief of the Secret Council of the Internationale?" |
36945 | Where should the three young ladies be at this time of night but in their beds? 36945 Who are you, and what do you mean by''No, no''?" |
36945 | Who is the speaker? |
36945 | Why are you not asleep? |
36945 | Why should we not take the best of life we can? 36945 Why will they not hear me?" |
36945 | Why, Angus, where do you come from? |
36945 | Why, why, why? |
36945 | Will our turn never come? |
36945 | Will you be quiet, Raoux, or shall I drop you over to the glory of your patron saint? |
36945 | You are Keller Bey? |
36945 | You ask me why in that case I am fighting men who are in the right? 36945 You ca n''t do anything I suppose?" |
36945 | You can not find enough to do here? |
36945 | You did pretty well in your examinations-- they tell me? |
36945 | You have done enough evil-- would you pursue me even to this quiet place? |
36945 | You mean, Saunders? |
36945 | You take me a little by surprise-- ah-- from Keller Bey? 36945 You think there will be a storm, Hugh?" |
36945 | You trust these men at the works? 36945 You understood what the disturbance was about over there?" |
36945 | A dead man?" |
36945 | Also the new twelve- pounders-- Menotti, brother, what shall we do for this man''s son?" |
36945 | And first, why did only the women come?--where was Monsieur Hugh, who dwelt with us at Autun?" |
36945 | And the light? |
36945 | And then there was the message flashed from behind the chimney- pots,"Did anyone send you word that you were to come?" |
36945 | And what for? |
36945 | And why should we when the chief strength of the enemy remains unassaulted and untaken within our walls?" |
36945 | André?" |
36945 | Angus me boy, and how did ye leave my good friend the commander of the forces?" |
36945 | Are all foreigners fools?" |
36945 | Are the works to be closed? |
36945 | Are we not old comrades? |
36945 | Are you a Communard, young man?" |
36945 | Are you on your way back to college?" |
36945 | Are you sure that she will take to the family at Château Schneider? |
36945 | Are you travelling for the firm?" |
36945 | Besides, who would trouble themselves about the fate of a couple of fleeing outlaws? |
36945 | But instead she stood on tiptoe till her lips were near my ear and whispered,"I have always known it would be so-- don''t they look silly?" |
36945 | But tell me, is not this Aramon of yours an unsafe town? |
36945 | But what do you do when the Frenchmen challenge you?" |
36945 | But where is Alida?" |
36945 | But where were the bags of coin, the wallets stuffed with bank- notes with which they were to flee across the wilderness of the Camargue? |
36945 | But why did Hugh never tell us? |
36945 | But why vent his humour upon me? |
36945 | By the way, Cawdor, what does your father say to all this?" |
36945 | CHAPTER IX A REUNION OF THE REDS"Did Rhoda Polly send you?" |
36945 | CHAPTER XXVII UNDER WHICH KING, BEZONIAN? |
36945 | Can I bow backs at my age and say grace for what I would rather have done without?" |
36945 | Can she play?" |
36945 | Can the man not be reasonable?" |
36945 | Can they have already set fire to the chapel?" |
36945 | Can you shoot?" |
36945 | Can you speak Italian?" |
36945 | Chief"( he turned suddenly to Dennis)"could I not just lob over half a dozen shrapnel among these cattle? |
36945 | Could he leave them and flee? |
36945 | Did he even understand? |
36945 | Did it force back the Germans? |
36945 | Did it stop this war? |
36945 | Did you see her waist and hips when she turned-- a full half circle? |
36945 | Did you see that flag of theirs to- night, just before sunset? |
36945 | Did you think that I had been left behind in the Château cellar?") |
36945 | Do n''t you see that we have got to go on living here, and the men we have to work the factory with are the fellows out in the brush yonder? |
36945 | Do you ken, Maister Aängus, he was just trying me on, by asking me to drink? |
36945 | Do you remember the day among the reeds after the boat went down and we had to tramp all the way home barefoot? |
36945 | Do you want to be there and go running helter- skelter over the fields with that rabble? |
36945 | Does Deventer go with you?" |
36945 | Even if there were, what had I, an old Garibaldian, to fear? |
36945 | For if the city should be occupied by troops-- if military tribunals were set up, where would their husbands be so safe as in the factory? |
36945 | Had I indeed lost Hugh Deventer? |
36945 | Had any man a wrong? |
36945 | Had he of set purpose hid himself away? |
36945 | Had she not come back from school to the warm love and unbounded spoiling which awaited her there? |
36945 | Had we gone together to the wars, slept under one blanket, only to bring about this separation? |
36945 | Had we not, Jack Jaikes, Rhoda Polly, and I, seen a greater thing-- the fight over Allerdyce''s gun before the main entrance? |
36945 | Has your father let them to us along with the house?" |
36945 | Have I not telled ye a score o''times that ye are no to make exhibitions o''yerselves? |
36945 | Have you been to St. Etienne or Creusot? |
36945 | Have you had dreams of the beautiful lady you saw-- or imagined you saw-- at the house on the hill?" |
36945 | How could I? |
36945 | How did he know? |
36945 | How do you know that he will not escape to Switzerland or Italy, carrying your new machinery with him in his breeches pocket?" |
36945 | How had we left school? |
36945 | How many guns had I seen? |
36945 | How trusted?" |
36945 | How will they divide those? |
36945 | How would you have liked that, Angus my lad?" |
36945 | I am sure every one means well, but how am I to do all that thanking? |
36945 | I do not know exactly where it is, but I have a guide ready-- Matteo le Gaucher, you know him? |
36945 | I knew somewhat more of the matter than most, for had not Jeanne Félix taught me? |
36945 | I only shrugged my shoulders and said mockingly:"Perhaps you would like me to lead your thousand men to Marseilles as well?" |
36945 | If he were not a spy, what was he doing there? |
36945 | If you like I will write to my father to- day? |
36945 | In the hospital or in the grave? |
36945 | Is it not tempting Providence to be cursing fools who are sprinting hot- foot to damnation by themselves?" |
36945 | It looked like the beam of an electric arc- lamp, but how could the Jesuit professors of St. André have come into possession of such a thing? |
36945 | It rises half- way--''_go slowly!_''It stands at right angles to the post--''_stop_--_the way is barred!_''But what do you see yonder? |
36945 | It was a point of view, though at that moment hardly mine, but who was I that I should grudge Hugh Deventer his one hour of triumph? |
36945 | It was not he who had made the outcry, but wore he not a black frock- coat and looked he not sleek and well fed? |
36945 | It was not till we landed on the little greensward above the backwater where I hid the boat that we asked one another,"Where is Hugh?" |
36945 | It will? |
36945 | Judge ye which I liked the best? |
36945 | Must I obey, and become the chief wife of this coffee- coloured fellah, no Arab of my father''s race, say the Egyptians what they will?" |
36945 | Now tell me what made you run away?" |
36945 | Now tell me, where would I have been if I had minded about honour and''paroles''and them things?" |
36945 | Now, you have only to run straight and do as you are bid----""Do you think I shall be able to go with Cawdor when this simmers down? |
36945 | Or they to her? |
36945 | Our poor dear father Garibaldi, what has he to offer? |
36945 | Practice at the Chassepot factories? |
36945 | Remained, therefore, only Rhoda Polly, but would Rhoda Polly come? |
36945 | Rhoda Polly had not been so blind as I had supposed-- or was it possible that Jeanne herself----? |
36945 | See how the Tanara regiment is standing-- would you have them put us to shame before our father?" |
36945 | She had a couple of oars upon one shoulder and called across at us,"Who is making such a noise with their Marianas? |
36945 | Should he take the whole gang into his confidence or only a few? |
36945 | Surely they do not come from the Works?" |
36945 | Syne, says he,''Saunders, will ye drink?'' |
36945 | Tell me if they are of this world?" |
36945 | The mob had possession of it for some days lately, attacking the works and the manager''s house-- can we safely take Alida to such a place?" |
36945 | Then she asked suddenly,"Does Rhoda Polly sing? |
36945 | Then turning to Deventer he continued unconcernedly,"About that feeding gear, you were saying----?" |
36945 | There are good workmen and capital fitters among them, but who is to do their calculations?" |
36945 | They came because Garibaldi did, touched by the glory of his name, but we English-- what had we to do with the affair? |
36945 | They came with us-- yes-- for safety, but they were not quite of our world, Chardon''s and mine-- eh, Chardon?" |
36945 | Three-- four- pounder?" |
36945 | Was Chanot turning traitor? |
36945 | Was he going to obey? |
36945 | Was their miserable fifteen pence a day insufficient? |
36945 | We had appropriated, and who had a better right to spend? |
36945 | Were they hungry? |
36945 | Were you two allowed to run about the woods all by yourselves?" |
36945 | What could it be? |
36945 | What could she, Rhoda Polly, do to remedy these ills? |
36945 | What did ever the Internationale do for us? |
36945 | What did they care for the Internationale? |
36945 | What do you say, girls?" |
36945 | What had I been doing? |
36945 | What had Leduc and Violet to do with these things? |
36945 | What in the devil''s name should we want with such feeble, broken, bellowing cattle? |
36945 | What is it?" |
36945 | What is the use of a tower of Saint Crispin if a shoemaker may not climb it and spy out the works of his enemy?" |
36945 | What is the use of shooting at sparrows''nests under the eaves when the men are down in a ditch?" |
36945 | What of that? |
36945 | What say you, Aügoos Cawdori? |
36945 | What sort of a fellow was he?" |
36945 | What was Keller doing here? |
36945 | What was he saying? |
36945 | What, they do not whip at St. André? |
36945 | When I spoke to her after this, she answered me only with the distant civility of a well- trained servitor:"What can I do for Monsieur? |
36945 | When will you come and see them?" |
36945 | Where had I been? |
36945 | Where is Hugh? |
36945 | Where is the week''s wage to come from?" |
36945 | Where will they be in a week? |
36945 | Who else could I have told?" |
36945 | Who goes there?" |
36945 | Who is to replace it? |
36945 | Whom will you entrust with the money? |
36945 | Why are they not walking about these streets and taking their turn at mounting guard? |
36945 | Why did n''t you stay put?" |
36945 | Why should I? |
36945 | Why should we not all go to Aramon and be happy? |
36945 | Why then did they collect together yonder, these brave citizens, these honest workers, these noble revolutionaries? |
36945 | Why was he no longer my faithful confidant and comrade as of old? |
36945 | Will you come? |
36945 | Will you keep back so much each week from your wages? |
36945 | Wo n''t you come in? |
36945 | Ye can gie me a bit help, then? |
36945 | Yes, but did you ever see such a semaphore on a railway? |
36945 | Yet, how could I leave Keller Bey to his fate, and, if I did, how could I face Linn and Alida? |
36945 | You did not?" |
36945 | You intend to rule justly and love mercy, but what of the men about you? |
36945 | You learned yours here in France-- will that be the same sort? |
36945 | You who can Morse out a message on the telegraph apparatus, why can not you read something infinitely more simple? |
36945 | cried Rhoda Polly the golden- hearted;"why did it ever get into your stupid old noddle that I would not? |
36945 | he demanded abruptly,"and why in the coat of a Garde Nationale?" |
36945 | he gasped, poking his head through the door--"who gave you the liberty? |
36945 | said Rhoda Polly, astonishment in her accent,"why should he allow it? |
36945 | what''s that?" |
21227 | All right, Dan, my boy,said Hamish heartily;"it''s always best to look ahead, as Mr Rugg would say.--What do you think, Shenac?" |
21227 | Allister,said his sister,"do you think Cousin Shenac is changed lately?" |
21227 | Allister? |
21227 | Am I growing foolish, Shenac? 21227 Am I, Hamish?" |
21227 | And afterwards? |
21227 | And leave my mother and you? |
21227 | And my mother? |
21227 | And what about Hughie? |
21227 | And what did she say? |
21227 | And what did you say to him? |
21227 | And what is there surprising in it? |
21227 | And what would become of us all? |
21227 | And what''s to be done? |
21227 | And will she not? |
21227 | And you do not grudge me to my rest, dear? |
21227 | And you think you could do higher work somewhere else? |
21227 | And, Shenac, what was it that the minister said afterwards about the new song? |
21227 | Anywhere, I suppose? |
21227 | Are not you and he good friends, Shenac? |
21227 | Are you hard, Shenac, and cross? 21227 Are you no better? |
21227 | Because of Evan? |
21227 | But could you not see his pretty things last night? 21227 But if I am content, and can make you content?" |
21227 | But if it is true, what is the difference whether it is said or not? |
21227 | But if you were to do the wool, and then something was to happen that I could not plough or sow the field, what then? |
21227 | But the two Shenacs were never unfriendly? |
21227 | But what are we to do in the meantime? |
21227 | But what would they care for a girl like Shenac, if I were to tell? |
21227 | But why ask John Firinn of all the folk in the world? |
21227 | But you did not anger him, Shenac, surely? |
21227 | But, Hamish, you really think it will be better for me to go? |
21227 | But, Shenac, what else could you do but trust God if I were to die? |
21227 | But, Shenac,said Hamish gravely,"does our mother know? |
21227 | Come, now, a''n''t there something I''ve got that you want? |
21227 | Could you come here and do it? |
21227 | Could you not make one, Hamish? |
21227 | Did Allister tell you? 21227 Did I not tell you, Shenac, that God would never drown them in the sea?" |
21227 | Did I tell you that I had a letter from Mr Stewart to- day, Shenac? |
21227 | Did you hear what we were saying? |
21227 | Did you tell them that when you asked them? |
21227 | Do n''t I? |
21227 | Do they? 21227 Do you know how ill the wife has been?" |
21227 | Do you like living in the city? |
21227 | Do you mean what is the good of algebra, or what would be the good of it to you? |
21227 | Do you never think so? |
21227 | Do you not know? 21227 Do you remember, Hamish,"she continued( and her voice grew low and awed as she said it)--"do you remember the night you were so ill? |
21227 | Do you think it is wrong for me to wish to go away from home-- for a while, I mean? |
21227 | Do you think so, Shenac Dhu?--You surely can not think so meanly of me, Hamish? |
21227 | Do you think so? |
21227 | Does Mr Stewart know? |
21227 | From home? 21227 Hamish, what should I do?" |
21227 | Hamish,she repeated,"what is it? |
21227 | Hamish,she said after a little,"what do you think of my asking John Firinn to plough the land for the wheat-- and to sow it too, for that matter?" |
21227 | Hamish,she said eagerly,"what ails you? |
21227 | Have you anything to say to him that I could tell him afterwards? 21227 Have you been hearkening to one of John Firinn''s stories? |
21227 | Have you been long here, Allister? |
21227 | How much would it cost? |
21227 | How? |
21227 | I can not do much good by staying here, can I? 21227 I could learn that too, but what would be the good of it?" |
21227 | I must not stay,she continued.--"Hamish, have you done with your book? |
21227 | Is he wandering? |
21227 | Is it Angus Dhu that is concerned, and the Camerons? |
21227 | Is it a bee? |
21227 | Is it about Evan, Shenac? |
21227 | Is our Allister one whose well- doing need astonish any one? 21227 Is she not a picture? |
21227 | Is she not a vain creature? |
21227 | Is that it? 21227 May I?" |
21227 | Mother,said Dan, as he came in to his dinner one day,"have you any message to The Sixteenth? |
21227 | No,said Shenac;"was he well?" |
21227 | No; what was it? |
21227 | Nobody but you and me to do anything; and what can_ we_ do? |
21227 | Not to John Firinn''s surely? 21227 Oh, what about Shenac?" |
21227 | Oh, what will be left? |
21227 | Open it, Shenac; what ails you? |
21227 | Shall I tell you when I thought so, Shenac? 21227 Shenac, good, dear child, is it well with you?" |
21227 | Shenac, what kept you? |
21227 | Shenac,said her cousin kindly,"have you not undertaken too much? |
21227 | Shenac,said her cousin one day,"why were you not at the kirk last Sabbath? |
21227 | Shenac,said her cousin, reading her thought,"you would not have Allister come and leave him? |
21227 | Shenac,she said,"why did you not go to bed, as I bade you? |
21227 | Should I ask it now, dear? |
21227 | Surely you do not think you can do more or better than my mother? |
21227 | The chief of the clan, and the boss of the shanty,said Hamish gravely;"and that was you, Dan, was it not?" |
21227 | There''s no hurry about it, is there? |
21227 | Was it wrong for him to take it, do you think, Hamish? |
21227 | Was this for Hamish only? |
21227 | Well, Shenac? |
21227 | Well, what do you think of it, girls? |
21227 | Well? |
21227 | What about Evan, Allister? |
21227 | What aileth thee, Shenac Bhan, bonny Shenac, Shenac the farmer, Shenac the fair? 21227 What ails me?" |
21227 | What book, Hamish? |
21227 | What can you do with it? |
21227 | What could happen, John, man? |
21227 | What did they say, Dan? |
21227 | What do you suppose the elder cares about a girl like you, or Angus Dhu either? |
21227 | What do you think it is, Shenac? |
21227 | What else could I do? |
21227 | What in the world kept you so long? |
21227 | What in the world should all me? 21227 What is it? |
21227 | What is the use of going? |
21227 | What next, I wonder? 21227 What right have I to tell my mother-- I, who can do nothing?" |
21227 | What was it, Hamish? 21227 What was it?" |
21227 | What will Sandy care for a girl like Shenac? |
21227 | What will you do with it, Shenac? |
21227 | What would be the good of it to me? 21227 What would be the good of that? |
21227 | What''s that about Shenac yonder? |
21227 | Whisht, Dan; let''s have no quarrelling,pleaded the mother.--"Why do you vex him?" |
21227 | Who told you, Hamish? 21227 Why did you not ask my father himself?" |
21227 | Why should I not do the same? |
21227 | Why should she be? |
21227 | Why, indeed? |
21227 | Will it? |
21227 | Will you give your hair to me, Shenac? |
21227 | Will you have it, Miss Shenac? |
21227 | Will you tell me in what respect you think you are not fit? |
21227 | Wo n''t there? 21227 You need not be, dear; why should you be afraid even of trouble?" |
21227 | --"he would be sure to come?" |
21227 | Am I to blame?" |
21227 | And Evan himself? |
21227 | And are you to get a dress of the blue and white?" |
21227 | And as for being a great deal older, how old are you, Shenac?" |
21227 | And do you mind how you made pancakes for supper, and never let one of them burn, though you were listening all the time to Hamish and me? |
21227 | And what words shall describe the joyful pride of Shenac? |
21227 | And where will you get your loom?" |
21227 | And why should you have nothing to look forward to? |
21227 | And why should you think of this now, more than before?" |
21227 | And yet, what did it matter, now that the end had come? |
21227 | And yet, why not? |
21227 | Are you glad, Hamish?" |
21227 | Are you not pleased, Shenac?" |
21227 | At last she made a grasp at the question they had been discussing, and said hurriedly,--"But there is nothing to vex Shenac in that, surely?" |
21227 | But for what am I saying all this to children like you? |
21227 | But if Allister did not come soon? |
21227 | But she did not tell him so; where would have been the good? |
21227 | But was he really better? |
21227 | But what can we do with it? |
21227 | Could it be anything Dan has said? |
21227 | Did Hamish see that light? |
21227 | Did he never tell you?" |
21227 | Did he see her? |
21227 | Did these people see it? |
21227 | Did they see something hidden from her? |
21227 | Did you not get my letter? |
21227 | Did you not then and there show him the door?" |
21227 | Did you see Angus Dhu?" |
21227 | Do n''t you care for that, Shenac? |
21227 | Do n''t you mind, Hamish, what she once said about our going with her to M---, you and me? |
21227 | Do n''t you mind?" |
21227 | Do n''t you think we can manage to keep together till Allister comes home? |
21227 | Do we want anything, mother? |
21227 | Do you know it, Hamish?" |
21227 | Do you know what my life''s work is to be? |
21227 | Do you know, Shenac, your eyes look twice as big as they used to do, and twice as black?" |
21227 | Do you mind how you comforted Flora, and put the little lads to shame for having left her? |
21227 | Do you mind the night that I brought little Flora home, crying with the cold? |
21227 | Do you think it''s to oblige you that Sandy McMillan is hanging about here and bothering folk with his bees and his bees? |
21227 | Hamish can do without me; but how shall I ever do without him?" |
21227 | Hamish, bhodach, what is a year out of a whole lifetime? |
21227 | Hamish, do n''t you mind?" |
21227 | Hamish,"she added, suddenly stooping down over him,"do you think any plan made to separate you and me will prosper? |
21227 | Has he ever disobeyed you once since-- since then?" |
21227 | Have I anything to do with it? |
21227 | Have you forgotten the verse that says,` Remove not the ancient land- mark''?" |
21227 | Have you forgotten, Shenac?" |
21227 | Have you spoken to Shenac since?" |
21227 | Have you spoken to your sister about it?" |
21227 | He endured it only while he walked up and down the room two or three times; then pausing beside her, he said softly,--"Is this my Shenac?" |
21227 | He had never been, in country phrase,"a good scholar?" |
21227 | He made a step forward into the room, and said,--"This is Hamish, I know; but can this be our little Shenac?" |
21227 | How can I tell? |
21227 | How were they to get through harvest- time without him? |
21227 | I wonder how it all happened to him? |
21227 | Is he coming to- morrow?" |
21227 | Is it about the house and all the things? |
21227 | Is it only to jealous hearts, ignoble minds, that such tidings come with a shock of pain? |
21227 | Is it ours, or Angus Dhu''s?" |
21227 | Is it that, Hamish? |
21227 | Is it, Shenac?" |
21227 | Is she at home to- day?" |
21227 | Is there any reason that you have not told me why you should wish to go?" |
21227 | Is there no one else?" |
21227 | It was the dwelling on the same theme, the going over and over the same thing--"nothing would happen to him?" |
21227 | Mother, we must do nothing till Allister comes home.--Hamish, why do n''t you tell my mother to wait till Allister comes home?" |
21227 | Must it be? |
21227 | Must it be?" |
21227 | My mother does not care, and why should you?" |
21227 | Now tell me, is the wide stripe in the new carpet to be red or green?" |
21227 | Now, a''n''t there?" |
21227 | Once, when Hamish slumbered, Mr Stewart, touching her bowed head with his hand, whispered,--"Is it well?" |
21227 | Ought I to stay? |
21227 | Our wool-- you are going back soon, and if the waggon goes, will you ask your father to let our wool go to the mill? |
21227 | She sat looking into the fire, trying to think how she should begin, and started a little when Hamish said,--"Well, Shenac, what is it? |
21227 | She strove to answer him-- to say it was well, that she was glad to see him, and why had he not come before? |
21227 | Shenac continued:--"And do you mind what''s said of them that add field to field? |
21227 | Shenac''s voice failed a little, then she went on again,"Why should Dan go away, or any of us? |
21227 | Should I be pleased, Hamish? |
21227 | Should we have it written down, Shenac?" |
21227 | The chance to do so was nearer than she thought; for there was a touch at the door- latch, and a voice said softly,--"Are you here, Cousin Shenac? |
21227 | Then the old familiar words were heard, and yet could they be the same? |
21227 | They were earnest words, surely, but wherein did they differ from the words of other men? |
21227 | Was it the minister''s voice that made the difference? |
21227 | Was our Allister a wild lad, as your father says? |
21227 | What ails you to- night, Hamish?" |
21227 | What can I do for you, Shenac?" |
21227 | What can_ we_ do with it?" |
21227 | What could Dan or any of us do without you to plan for us? |
21227 | What could Hamish see in that plain, dark man, so grave and quiet, so much older than he? |
21227 | What could I do at the plough? |
21227 | What could ail me? |
21227 | What could be the cause of the interest that she saw in the faces of those eager hundreds? |
21227 | What could it be? |
21227 | What did his father say? |
21227 | What do you mean, Shenac? |
21227 | What do you think I heard him saying the other day to Shenac yonder?" |
21227 | What do you think it can be, Allister?" |
21227 | What in all the world can you have to do with him? |
21227 | What is Dan, or what am I, in comparison to you? |
21227 | What is it, Dan?" |
21227 | What is to hinder you from going to- morrow?" |
21227 | What made you bide so long?" |
21227 | What was his secret power? |
21227 | What was the cause of the change? |
21227 | What was to be done? |
21227 | What will Allister think?" |
21227 | What will Shenac say? |
21227 | What written words could reveal his secret of peace spoken to such a one? |
21227 | What''s a short forenoon to them? |
21227 | What''s the use of speaking to her?" |
21227 | When? |
21227 | Where is he, Shenac?" |
21227 | Where? |
21227 | Wherefore rests the shadow on thy brow, and the look of sadness in thine azure eyes?" |
21227 | Who is to hinder his getting the rest?" |
21227 | Who is to work it?" |
21227 | Who would dare to speak of the mystery of suffering and blessing through which a soul passes when God first smites, then heals? |
21227 | Who would have thought that we had been here so long?" |
21227 | Whose fence is this that I am sitting on? |
21227 | Why ca n''t we bide all together, and do the best we can, till Allister comes home?" |
21227 | Why did you not speak to my mother and tell her what we ought to do? |
21227 | Why do n''t you go to bed?" |
21227 | Why should I seek to have the land?" |
21227 | Why should I think it? |
21227 | Why should it be more dangerous to me than to the rest? |
21227 | Why should she not do the same? |
21227 | Why should we be afraid? |
21227 | Why should we need help more than other folk?" |
21227 | Why should you be in haste? |
21227 | Why? |
21227 | Will you answer me simply and truly, as Hamish would have wished his sister to answer his friend?" |
21227 | Will you ask your father, Christie?" |
21227 | Will you let me care for you always, Shenac, good and dear child?" |
21227 | Will you tell him, Shenac?" |
21227 | Would it please you, Hamish? |
21227 | Yon poor old body-- do you call_ him_ a minister? |
21227 | You are not surely going to fail our mother now-- you, who have done more than all of us put together to comfort her since then?" |
21227 | You have heard from your brother again?" |
21227 | You must have seen it, Shenac?" |
21227 | did I not tell you?" |
21227 | did big Maggie Cairns, at whose simplicity and queerness all the young people used to laugh, see it? |
21227 | did old Donald and Elspat Smith see it? |
21227 | did they hear in those words something to which her ears were deaf? |
21227 | exclaimed Shenac Dhu scornfully;"do you call_ that_ going to the kirk? |
21227 | what is it, Dan?" |
21227 | what was the secret of her brother''s peace? |
6943 | ''Who makes the bridal bed, Birdie, say truly?'' 6943 About the siller?" |
6943 | Affront? |
6943 | An island? |
6943 | And Effie? |
6943 | And Effie?--and Effie, dear father? |
6943 | And I positively must not ask you how you have come by all this money? |
6943 | And a what? |
6943 | And did she say nae mair about me? |
6943 | And does the Duke live on that high rock, then? |
6943 | And does your Honour think,said Jeanie,"that will do as weel as if I were to take my tap in my lap, and slip my ways hame again on my ain errand?" |
6943 | And how came you to believe that she did not speak the fatal truth? |
6943 | And how_ did_ you escape? |
6943 | And so if we had mair siller, we might buy that bonny pasture- ground, where the grass comes so early? |
6943 | And that leddy was the Queen herself? |
6943 | And were you sure aye to_ say your_ Grace to him? |
6943 | And wha''s this o''t? |
6943 | And what for no, Reuben? |
6943 | And what is his name, pray? |
6943 | And what is it, my good girl? |
6943 | And what is that? |
6943 | And what sort of person is this companion of hers? |
6943 | And who cares if he does? |
6943 | And who was Gentle George? |
6943 | And wi''that man?--that fearfu''man? |
6943 | And would you go nae length for revenge? |
6943 | And your father-- and your friends? |
6943 | And-- Mr. Butler-- he wasna weel when I gaed awa? |
6943 | And-- and( fain would she have said Butler, but she modified the direct inquiry)--"and Mr. and Mrs. Saddletree-- and Dumbiedikes-- and a''friends?" |
6943 | Are ye sure ye ken the way ye are taking us? |
6943 | Are you sure you know the way? |
6943 | As he was thus speaking, a woman of the neighbourhood, coming into the room, demanded of him what her fortune should be? 6943 Ay? |
6943 | But I suppose,continued the Queen,"if you were possessed of such a secret, you would hold it a matter of conscience to keep it to yourself?" |
6943 | But are you really married to my sister, sir? |
6943 | But how can it be helped, man? |
6943 | But tell me,said Butler,"is it anything that distresses your own mind?" |
6943 | But what account did the wretched woman give of Effie and the bairn? |
6943 | But what are we to do then? |
6943 | But what is the matter with you? |
6943 | But what sort of a lad was he? |
6943 | But would that save my sister? |
6943 | But ye''ll be back belive? |
6943 | But your Christian name, by which you were baptized? |
6943 | But, if I were to slacken them, you would harm me? |
6943 | But, sir, your Grace,said Jeanie,"if it wasna ower muckle trouble, wad it no be better to tell me what I should say, and I could get it by heart?" |
6943 | But,continued Gager Tramp,"thinkest thou the daughter o''yon hangit body isna as rank a witch as ho?" |
6943 | But_ can_ the king gie her mercy? |
6943 | Can it be really true, that it is on Sir George''s account that you have been attempting to apprehend this fellow? |
6943 | Certainly, it shall be as you choose-- But who on earth ever pitched on such a hiding- place for temporal treasures? |
6943 | Could we not land on this side of the headland,asked Sir George,"and so gain some shelter?" |
6943 | D-- n her, why must she needs speak the truth, when she could have as well said anything else she had a mind? |
6943 | Dear Mrs. Balchristie,replied Jeanie, in a submissive tone,"d''ye no mind me?--d''ye no mind Jeanie Deans?" |
6943 | Did ye never read the Pilgrim''s Progress? 6943 Did you wish to speak with me, my bonny lass?" |
6943 | Do I ken the road?--Wasna I mony a day living here, and what for shouldna I ken the road? 6943 Do ye think, ye ungratefu''wretch, that I am gaun to let you sit doun upon my father''s grave? |
6943 | Do you say so before my face? |
6943 | Do you think the pardon will be in it, sir? |
6943 | Does he admire his lady as much as other people do? |
6943 | Does your Honour like cheese? |
6943 | Douce Davie Deans, the auld doited whig body''s daughter, in a gipsy''s barn, and the night setting in? 6943 Had she been a''that time at Argyle House? |
6943 | Hark ye,he exclaimed from the window,"ye auld limb of Satan-- wha the deil gies you commission to guide an honest man''s daughter that gate?" |
6943 | Has the Caroline been long arrived? |
6943 | Have you any message for her from his Grace the Duke of Argyle, Mr. Archibald? 6943 Have you no curiosity to see what is in the little pocket- book?" |
6943 | Her name must be Campbell, at least? |
6943 | His son or grandson, I''m thinking,said Ratcliffe,"but what o''that?" |
6943 | How comes that, Jeanie? |
6943 | How dare ye touch papa''s books when he is away? |
6943 | How dost do, Tummas? |
6943 | I hope there is nae bad company on the road, sir? |
6943 | In the open court- yard!--Na, na, that wad never do, lass; we mauna guide ye that gate neither-- And how''s that douce honest man, your father? |
6943 | In trouble!--that signifies in prison, I suppose? |
6943 | Is all over? |
6943 | Is it law business? |
6943 | Is my cousin going out, Mr. Archibald? 6943 Is she a pretty girl?" |
6943 | Is that the minister,said Jeanie,"who preached""The minister? |
6943 | Is the contraband trade permitted here so openly? |
6943 | Is yon high castle the Duke''s hoose? |
6943 | It was but a tenpenny tow lost,she said,"and what was that to a woman''s life?" |
6943 | Kenst thou this wee bit paper amang the rest, man? |
6943 | Like it? |
6943 | Look at me,he said,"Jeanie Deans; can you not recollect me?" |
6943 | May I inquire if you think of returning home soon? |
6943 | Myself? |
6943 | Nae mair but kind and Christian wishes-- what suld she hae said? |
6943 | Never in Bedlam? |
6943 | No understand me, man? 6943 O sir,"said Jeanie,"did the Scripture never come into your mind,''Vengeance is mine, and I will repay it?''" |
6943 | O ye unhappy boy,said Jeanie,"do ye ken what will come o''ye when ye die?" |
6943 | O, dear Tyburn Tam, man, what ill will the blades of the young wheat do to the puir nag? |
6943 | Obligations?--The Duke?--Obligations to Reuben Butler-- Reuben Butler a placed minister of the Kirk of Scotland? |
6943 | Outby his knowledge, Jeanie!--Is that right? 6943 Particularly to the young person?" |
6943 | Pay? 6943 Perhaps, sir, you intend to fill up the cup of disobedience and profligacy by forming a low and disgraceful marriage? |
6943 | Porteous? |
6943 | Shall we not walk upon the high- road? |
6943 | Thank God-- but O, dear father, Effie?--Effie? |
6943 | That is true, too,said Jeanie;"but I am so confused in my mind-- But does your honour think there is a certainty of Effie''s pardon then?" |
6943 | The what? |
6943 | Then he must be a well- wisher, I suspect? |
6943 | Then it is your real intention to leave this part of the country, and proceed to London? |
6943 | Then why do n''t you hang-- hang-- hang him? |
6943 | Then, though she has not much the air_ d''une grande dame,_ I suppose she is some thirtieth cousin in the terrible CHAPTER of Scottish genealogy? |
6943 | There would be more sense in that, than in wreaking yourself here upon two wenches that have done you and your daughter no ill."No ill? |
6943 | These are two fine young mountaineers-- Yours, madam, I presume? |
6943 | This is a strange business, to be sure, Mr. Archibald,said the lady;"but I suppose I must make the best on''t.--Are you sure the boat will not sink? |
6943 | Thomas was very right, Mr. Stubbs; and what has, become of the other most unfortunate being? |
6943 | Thou canst read this book, canst thou, young woman? |
6943 | Use every man according to his deserts, Mr. Butler, and who shall escape whipping? 6943 What have you to say, sir?" |
6943 | What is the affair, my Lord? |
6943 | What is your daughter''s name, madam? |
6943 | What is your first name? |
6943 | What may be the value of your preferment? |
6943 | What the devil is she after now, Frank? |
6943 | What the devil is the wench afraid of? |
6943 | What would ye do if you could escape from this place, and the death you are to die to- morrow morning? |
6943 | What''s brought thee back again, thou silly donnot, to plague this parish? 6943 What''s the fule thing shaking for?" |
6943 | Where am I to go then? |
6943 | Where did you get the book, ye little hempie? |
6943 | Where is the silly bairn gaun? |
6943 | Which way lies Inverary? |
6943 | Who are you, young woman? |
6943 | Who-- Sir George? 6943 Why will you say so?" |
6943 | Why, but poorly-- but poorly, Measter Stubbs.--Are you wanting to see his Reverence? |
6943 | Without taking any steps for her relief? |
6943 | Ye''ll no teach me law, I think, neighbour-- me that has four gaun pleas, and might hae had fourteen, an it hadna been the gudewife? 6943 Yes, Jeanie,"said Butler;"but their magnificence-- their retinue-- the difficulty of getting audience?" |
6943 | You are not for gaun intill Glasgow then? |
6943 | Your bairn? |
6943 | Your life, sir? |
6943 | _ How_ did I escape? |
6943 | ''How, boy,''quoth I;''what company have you there?'' |
6943 | And from whom could she hope for assistance if not from Mr. Staunton? |
6943 | And have you really come up from Edinburgh on foot, to attempt this hopeless solicitation for your sister''s life?" |
6943 | And now, will pardon, comfort, kindness, draw The youth from vice? |
6943 | And so, wishing you no evil, but even your best good, that you may be turned from your iniquity( for why suld ye die?) |
6943 | Are you aware of the law of this country-- that if you lodge this charge, you will be bound over to prosecute this gang?" |
6943 | At length she could not help asking her taciturn companion,"Whilk way they were going?" |
6943 | At this moment, looking at his companion, he asked him whether he felt himself ill? |
6943 | But fye upon the knave Death, that will seize upon those bodies of yours; and where will all your fiddling and flinging be then?'' |
6943 | But tell me, and lose no time in doing so, what you are doing in this country? |
6943 | But when was she to see Butler? |
6943 | But where was the youth who might eventually be called to the honours and estates of this ancient family? |
6943 | But who is this? |
6943 | But, Jeanie lass, what brings you out to Liberton sae air in the morning, and your father lying ill in the Luckenbooths?" |
6943 | D''ye ken naebody wad gie ye a letter to him?" |
6943 | D''ye think I do not know Gaelic from Latin?" |
6943 | Did Fortune guide, Or rather Destiny, our bark, to which We could appoint no port, to this best place? |
6943 | Did he gain his precarious bread by some petty trade, by menial toil, by violence, or by theft? |
6943 | Does your old blind eyes see no farther than that? |
6943 | Even this wench, for aught I can tell, may be a depositary of the secret.--Hark you, young woman, had you any friends engaged in the Porteous mob?" |
6943 | Give me some of the cordial which stands on that table.--Why do you tremble? |
6943 | Glass?--How are all our friends in the North?'' |
6943 | Hast no cousin or sister, lass, that such an offer would suit?" |
6943 | Hast no done mischief enow already, wi''thy murders and thy witcherings?" |
6943 | Hast thou brought ony more bastards wi''thee to lay to honest men''s doors? |
6943 | Havena I missed the chance to turn out as_ clarissimus_ an_ ictus,_ as auld Grunwiggin himself?--Whatfor dinna ye speak, Mr. Butler? |
6943 | He was the grandsire of one you are engaged to?" |
6943 | I aye answer to the name, though it''s no my ain, for what''s the use of making a fash?" |
6943 | I demanded of him, how they got under that hill? |
6943 | I guess by your dress, you are just come up from poor Scotland-- Did you come through the streets in your tartan plaid?" |
6943 | I then asked him, how I should know what he said to be true? |
6943 | If he is as you say, dye think he''ll ever marry a moon- calf like Madge? |
6943 | Jeanie courteously declined the tankard, and inquired what was her"lawing?" |
6943 | Leonard''s?" |
6943 | Meiklehose shook his head, and allowed it was"far frae beseeming-- But what will ye say? |
6943 | Must she then actually beg her way to London? |
6943 | On what heath was he wandering, and shrouded by what mean disguise? |
6943 | She was mistaken, however, for Madge coloured, and replied with some anger,"_ My_ bairn? |
6943 | So, tell me what all this is about, and what''s to be done for you that one can do decently?" |
6943 | The good woman abridged the period of hesitation by inquiring,"Was ye wanting the gudeman or me, lass?" |
6943 | The robber answered in a louder tone,"Fair enough that; and what the devil is your business with it?" |
6943 | Then, addressing his son, he said sternly,"Now, sir, what new proof of your infamy have you to impart to me?" |
6943 | There''s no a pleasanter cell in Bedlam, for as braw a place as it is on the outside.--Were ye ever in Bedlam?" |
6943 | They laid violent hands on Madge, and tore her from the carriage, exclaiming--"What, doest stop folk o''king''s high- way? |
6943 | Thomas Young said,''Sir, what do ye pursue us for?'' |
6943 | Wad I no hae been a_ clarissimus ictus?_--Eh, man?" |
6943 | Was the Duke with her the whole time? |
6943 | Wha wad hae thought but mysell of making a bolt of my ain back- bane? |
6943 | Wha wad mind what he said in the pu''pit, that had to wife the sister of a woman that was condemned for sic wickedness?" |
6943 | What could tempt you, young woman, to address yourself to me?" |
6943 | What harm can it possibly do to tell me in what situation your sister stands, and your own expectations of being able to assist her? |
6943 | What is your particular interest in this young woman? |
6943 | What right had she to make a barter between the lives of Staunton and of Effie, and to sacrifice the one for the safety of the other? |
6943 | What see you there, That hath so cowarded and chased your blood Out of appearance? |
6943 | What would my father or Reuben Butler think if I were to tell them there are sic folk in the world? |
6943 | What, a freeholder of Mid- Lothian, is he not?" |
6943 | What,"he said,"would Mr. Butler think of as an answer, if the offer should be made to him?" |
6943 | When shall I marry me?'' |
6943 | When the Laird came up with Jeanie, the first words he uttered were,--"Jeanie, they say ane shouldna aye take a woman at her first word?" |
6943 | Wilt thou go on with me? |
6943 | You refuse, however, to see me, and your conduct may be natural-- but is it wise? |
6943 | _ Ictus_ is Latin for a lawyer, is it not?" |
6943 | and had she seen the Duchess? |
6943 | and had she seen the young ladies-- and specially Lady Caroline Campbell?" |
6943 | and have you really no better knowledge where she is to be found?" |
6943 | asked Jeanie, with lips and cheeks as pale as ashes,--"and is there nae hope for her?" |
6943 | but she comes from Inverary or Argyleshire?" |
6943 | exclaimed David--"Reuben Butler, the usher at Liberton?" |
6943 | for such seemed the alternative; or must she turn back, and solicit her father for money? |
6943 | how came ye here alone, and at this hour, and on the wild seabeach?--Are you sure it''s your ain living sell?" |
6943 | is this Sunday?" |
6943 | or does thou think to burden us with this goose, that''s as hare- brained as thysell, as if rates were no up enow? |
6943 | or have ye been reading your prayers backward, to bring up my auld acquaintance the deil amang ye?" |
6943 | or it may be--''Have ye heard from the North lately?'' |
6943 | or were ye cutting the grunter''s weasand that Tam brought in this morning? |
6943 | said Dumbiedikes;"how is that possible? |
6943 | said Jeanie, recollecting herself suddenly,"what was he to that Argyle that suffered in my father''s time-- in the persecution?" |
6943 | said Jeanie--"Why do you weep so bitterly?" |
6943 | said Jeanie.--"Can the unhappy bairn hae left you for that villain?" |
6943 | said Mr. Staunton;"then you charge them with robbery, I suppose?" |
6943 | said Mrs. Glass,"what for needed he to have telled that of his ain country, and to the English folk abune a''? |
6943 | said Mrs. Glass;"is not that uncommon, Mr. Archibald? |
6943 | said the Duke, hastily--"he has not deserted you on that account, has he?" |
6943 | said the Duke;"I have thrice seen him fou, and only once heard the sound of his voice-- Is he a cousin of yours, Jeanie?" |
6943 | said the beadle--"and how''s young Measter Staunton?" |
6943 | said the fat dame to poor Jeanie, whom she did not immediately recognise,"scouping about a decent house at sic an hour in the morning?" |
6943 | said the infuriated damsel to Archibald,"how dare you use a person like me in this way?" |
6943 | said the shorter ruffian;"do ye think gentlemen are to hazard their lives on the road to be cheated in this way? |
6943 | that is always what you think of, Stubbs-- But, has she sense?--has she her wits?--has she the capacity of taking care of herself?" |
6943 | then, if the Laird starts, I suppose my friend Butler must be in some danger?" |
6943 | they''re but a snare-- I ance thought better o''them, and what came o''t?" |
6943 | was it e''en sae, Dame Hinchup?" |
6943 | what ca''st thou that?" |
6943 | what have ye done with the horse?" |
6943 | what is your business with----, or with heaven or hell either?" |
6943 | what poor ability''s in me To do him good? |
6943 | what regard have you ever paid to it? |
6943 | what thing of sea or land-- Female of sex it seems-- That so bedeck''d, ornate, and gay, Comes this way sailing? |
6943 | what wad ye be sorry for?" |
6943 | who would live turmoiled in a court, And may enjoy such quiet walks as these? |
6943 | will honour, duty, law? |
6943 | ye are joking, lad-- wha wad touch bairns? |
6942 | ''So I can not see Effie Deans, then,said Butler;"and you are determined not to let me out?" |
6942 | A matter of absolute needcessity,said Saddletree,"wha ever heard of witnesses no being enclosed?" |
6942 | A stranger he was in this country, and a companion of that lawless vagabond, Wilson, I think, Effie? |
6942 | An_ honest_ woman''s bairn, Maggie? |
6942 | And Dominie Butler-- Does he come to see our father, that''s sae taen wi''his Latin words? |
6942 | And I am thinking,pursued the turnkey,"that ye speered at me when we locked up, and if we locked up earlier on account of Porteous?" |
6942 | And I suppose Butler is to remain incarcerated? |
6942 | And are we to part in this way,said Jeanie,"and you in sic deadly peril? |
6942 | And for such narratives,I asked,"you suppose the History of the Prison of Edinburgh might afford appropriate materials?" |
6942 | And he wanted you to say something to yon folks, that wad save my young life? |
6942 | And how can we turn ye loose on the public again, Daddie Rat, unless ye do or say something to deserve it? |
6942 | And my sister''s child-- does it live? |
6942 | And she told you the cause of it, my dear, I suppose? |
6942 | And shouldna ye ken that without my telling you? |
6942 | And that''s all the good you have obtained from three perusals of the Commentaries on Scottish Criminal Jurisprudence? |
6942 | And this was his advice? |
6942 | And wha was that parted wi''you at the stile? |
6942 | And what became of it, then? |
6942 | And what d''ye ca''an untruth? |
6942 | And what d''ye think the end of your calling will be? |
6942 | And what else can do sae? |
6942 | And what gude wad that hae dune? |
6942 | And what is that I ain doing now? |
6942 | And what is the law you speak of? |
6942 | And what is''t-- what is''t, neighbour Plumdamas? |
6942 | And what sort o''house does Nichol Muschat and his wife keep now? |
6942 | And what would you have said would have been your end, had you been asked the question yesterday? |
6942 | And where are the two women? |
6942 | And where did he change his clothes again, hinnie? |
6942 | And who was that woman? |
6942 | And ye hae suffered a''this for him, and ye can think of loving him still? |
6942 | And you tauld him,said Effie,"that ye wadna hear o''coming between me and the death that I am to die, and me no aughten year auld yet?" |
6942 | And, I suppose, now you have dragged this poor devil ashore, you will leave him half naked on the beach to provide for himself? |
6942 | Are ye mad? |
6942 | Are you a clergyman? |
6942 | Are you prepared for this dreadful end? |
6942 | Are you so dull-- so very dull of apprehension? |
6942 | Are you sure o''that? |
6942 | Auld Whilliewhaw? |
6942 | Ay, wha kens that but herself? |
6942 | Being interrogated, what her reason was for secrecy on this point? 6942 But James Ratcliffe is your present name?--what is your trade?" |
6942 | But did he speak to no one? |
6942 | But maybe, Madge, ye wad mind something about it, if I was to gie ye this half- crown? |
6942 | But the fact, sir,argued Butler,"the fact that this poor girl has borne a child; surely the crown lawyers must prove that?" |
6942 | But to what purpose or end, gentlemen? |
6942 | But what, my friends,insisted Butler, with a generous disregard to his own safety--"what hath constituted you his judges?" |
6942 | But, neighbour,said Saddletree,"ye''ll retain advocates for the puir lassie? |
6942 | But,repeated the magistrate,"what are your means of living-- your occupation?" |
6942 | Can I be of no use? |
6942 | Can not the wretches be discovered, and given up to punishment? |
6942 | Can this be? |
6942 | Confessed the murder? |
6942 | Could they na? |
6942 | Dance!--dance, said ye? 6942 Davie-- winna siller do''t?" |
6942 | Did I? 6942 Did ye come here for naething but to tell me that ye canna help me at the pinch? |
6942 | Did you ever see that mad woman before? |
6942 | Do I deny it? |
6942 | Do you rest upon the testimony of that light- headed letter? |
6942 | Do you suppose,said the magistrate, pausing,"that the young woman will accept an invitation so mysterious?" |
6942 | Do you think you will persuade those who are hardened in guilt to die to save another?--Is that the reed you would lean to? |
6942 | Foolish, hardhearted girl,said the stranger,"are you afraid of what they may do to you? |
6942 | For what purpose, gentlemen? |
6942 | Forget, Reuben? |
6942 | Free to do, man? 6942 Granted,"said her lover;"but what compels you to this?--who is this person? |
6942 | Hadna ye better get up and tryt yet? |
6942 | Have you agreed on your chancellor, gentlemen? |
6942 | He? 6942 Heard ye ever the like o''that, Laird?" |
6942 | How can you ask me that, Mr. Butler? 6942 How could you dispute what''s plain law, man?" |
6942 | How was he dressed? |
6942 | How''s a''wi''ye, Effie?--How d''ye find yoursell, hinny? |
6942 | I am sorry to interrupt my brother,said the Crown Counsel, rising;"but I am in your Lordships''judgment, whether this be not a leading question?" |
6942 | I dare say, ye hae deil ane? |
6942 | I say, Mr. Butler,said he,"ken ye if Mr. Saddletree''s a great lawyer?" |
6942 | I think,said Butler, after a good deal of hesitation,"I have seen the girl in the shop-- a modest- looking, fair- haired girl?" |
6942 | I trust you will forgive my hoping that it is of a lawful kind? |
6942 | Indeed? 6942 Is it not ten long years since we spoke together in this way?" |
6942 | Is it only you, and be d-- d to you? |
6942 | Is that all you can say for your life?--Have you no promise to give?--Will you destroy your sister, and compel me to shed more blood? |
6942 | Is that all you have to say? |
6942 | Is that the preacher? |
6942 | Is the Cowgate Port a nearer way to Libberton from the Grassmarket than Bristo Port? |
6942 | Is the West Port your usual way of leaving town when you go to Libberton? |
6942 | Is this necessary? |
6942 | Isna that ower true a doctrine? |
6942 | It would kill me to do''t-- how can ye bid me pay back siller, when ye ken how I want it? 6942 It''s chappit eight on every clock o''the town, and the sun''s gaun down ahint the Corstorphine hills-- Whare can ye hae been sae late?" |
6942 | Just because I can not, and I dare not,answered Jeanie.--"But hark, what''s that? |
6942 | Madge, my bonny woman,said Sharpitlaw, in the same coaxing manner,"what did ye do wi''your ilka- day''s claise yesterday?" |
6942 | Madge,said Ratcliffe,"hae ye ony joes now?" |
6942 | Must that be sae? |
6942 | Not the full sister, however? |
6942 | O Effie, what could take ye to a dance? |
6942 | O Effie,said her elder sister,"how could you conceal your situation from me? |
6942 | O father, we are cruelly sted between God''s laws and man''s laws-- What shall we do?--What can we do? |
6942 | Pretty pranks he has played in his time, I suppose? |
6942 | So, Mr. Ratcliffe,said the officer, conceiving it suited his dignity to speak first,"you give up business, I find?" |
6942 | Surely by her means the truth might be discovered.--Who was she? 6942 Surely, it is needless to swear that I will do all that is lawful to a Christian to save the life of my sister?" |
6942 | Take courage, young woman,said Fairbrother.--"I asked what your sister said ailed her when you inquired?" |
6942 | Thae duds were a''o''the colour o''moonshine in the water, I''m thinking, Madge-- The gown wad be a sky- blue scarlet, I''se warrant ye? |
6942 | That is to say, you could find me another name if I did not like that one? |
6942 | That''s speaking to the purpose, indeed,said the office- bearer;"and now, Rat, where think ye we''ll find him?" |
6942 | The deil ye did? 6942 The devil she has!--Do you think me as mad as she, is, to trust to her guidance on such an occasion?" |
6942 | The devil take your crazy brain,said Sharpitlaw;"will you not allow the men to answer a question?" |
6942 | The queen tore her biggonets for perfect anger,--ye''ll hae heard o''that too? |
6942 | Their dress, then, is not alike? |
6942 | Then she is not the person whom you said the rioters last night described as Madge Wildfire? |
6942 | Then the Tolbooth of Edinburgh is called the Heart of Mid- Lothian? |
6942 | Then you are the wicked cause of my sister''s ruin? |
6942 | Then, in Heaven''s name, what_ did_ you expect? |
6942 | Then, what the_ deevil_ d''ye take the nominative and the dative cases to be? |
6942 | Then, why can not the guilty be brought to justice, and the innocent freed? |
6942 | To whom do you talk of a clear conscience, woman? |
6942 | True; and you are, I think, several years older than your sister? |
6942 | Use? |
6942 | Very likely I might make some such observation,said Butler;"but the question now is, can I see Effie Deans?" |
6942 | Very true, hinny,said he, succeeding forcibly in his attempt to get hold of her,"but suppose I should strip your cloak off first?" |
6942 | Very well-- take your own time-- and what was the answer she made? |
6942 | Vincovincentem?--Is he a lord of state, or a lord of seat? |
6942 | Was it him? |
6942 | Was not this girl,he said,"the daughter of David Deans, that had the parks at St. Leonard''s taken? |
6942 | Was that the nearest road to Libberton? |
6942 | Weel, Arniston? 6942 Weel, sir,"said Mr. Sharpitlaw to Butler,"what think ye now?" |
6942 | Weel, weel, but somebody ye maun hae-- What think ye o''Kittlepunt? |
6942 | What do you mean by that, sir? |
6942 | What do you mean? |
6942 | What do you want, gudewife?--Who are you? |
6942 | What does she want here? |
6942 | What needs I tell ye onything about it? |
6942 | What needs ye be aye speering then at folk? |
6942 | What say ye to the auld Laird of Cuffabout? |
6942 | What shall we do, Ratcliffe? |
6942 | What the devil is the matter with her now? |
6942 | What time did he give better folk for preparing their account? |
6942 | What was it that I was saying? |
6942 | What was''t ye were speering at us, sir? |
6942 | What''s the meaning o''this, Ratcliffe? |
6942 | Where was ye yesterday at e''en, Madge? |
6942 | Where was''t that Robertson and you were used to howff thegither? 6942 Which road did you take to St. Leonard''s Crags?" |
6942 | Who is she? |
6942 | Who is she? |
6942 | Who or what are you,replied Butler, exceedingly and most unpleasantly surprised,"who charge me with such an errand?" |
6942 | Who or what is he, Ratcliffe? 6942 Who?--Robertson?" |
6942 | Who_ are_ you?--who is your bairn? |
6942 | Whom did you see after you left the city? |
6942 | Why do you use the word_ fear_ it? |
6942 | Why, what meaneth this, Jeanie? |
6942 | Will ye say sae? |
6942 | Will you let_ me_ go with you? 6942 Will you not tell your father, or take him with you?" |
6942 | Woodsetter? |
6942 | Would they venture to defraud public justice? |
6942 | Ye dinna ken whether ye are to get the free scule o''Dumfries or no, after hinging on and teaching it a''the simmer? |
6942 | You are a daring rascal, sir,said the magistrate;"and how dare you hope times are mended with you to- day?" |
6942 | You are, I think, the sister of the prisoner? |
6942 | You asked her questions on the subject? |
6942 | You shut up earlier than usual, probably on account of Captain Porteous''s affair? |
6942 | Young Naemmo? |
6942 | Your bonnet, father? |
6942 | Your name is James Ratcliffe? |
6942 | _ Your_ conscience, Rat? |
6942 | ''Your conscience, Rat?'' |
6942 | --Look out, Jock; what kind o''night is''t?" |
6942 | --The damsel stinted in her song.--"Whare hae ye been sae late at e''en?" |
6942 | A deep pause of a minute ensued, when Wildfire added, in a more composed tone,"Make your peace with Heaven.--Where is the clergyman?" |
6942 | And being interrogated, why she forbore to take steps which her situation so peremptorily required? |
6942 | And being interrogated, why she supposes it is now dead? |
6942 | And if ye are deaf, what needs ye sit cockit up there, and keep folk scraughin''t''ye this gate?" |
6942 | And it is now nearly come to,"What need one?" |
6942 | And what could I say to her, but that she behoved to come and speak to Mr. Saddletree when he was at hame? |
6942 | Are not we, like them, Scotsmen and burghers of Edinburgh?" |
6942 | At my best, I was never half sae gude as ye were, and what for suld you begin to mak yoursell waur to save me, now that I am no worth saving? |
6942 | But the question is, what''s to be dune?" |
6942 | Butler?" |
6942 | Butler?" |
6942 | Butler?" |
6942 | Butler?" |
6942 | Can a man touch pitch and not be defiled? |
6942 | Can you not state a case of_ cessio_ without your memorial? |
6942 | Deans?" |
6942 | Deans?" |
6942 | Did na his eme[ Uncle] die and gang to his place wi''the name of the Bluidy Mackenyie? |
6942 | Did you reckon what your life was worth, before you took the commission upon you?" |
6942 | Do you see yonder crag to the right, over which appears the chimney of a lone house? |
6942 | From whom? |
6942 | His voice faltered as he asked,"whether nothing but a sense of her sister''s present distress occasioned her to talk in that manner?" |
6942 | How the deil suld I ken onything of your bairn, huzzy? |
6942 | I wonder how Queen Carline( if her name be Carline) wad hae liked to hae had ane o''her ain bairns in sic a venture?" |
6942 | If ye neglect your warldly duties in the day of affliction, what confidence have I that ye mind the greater matters that concern salvation? |
6942 | Interrogated if he did so? |
6942 | Interrogated, if it died a natural death after birth? |
6942 | Interrogated, if she confessed her situation to any one, or made any preparation for her confinement? |
6942 | Interrogated, if the child was alive when it was born? |
6942 | Interrogated, if the lodging was in the city or suburbs? |
6942 | Interrogated, if the woman, in whose lodging she was, seemed to be a fit person to be with her in that situation? |
6942 | Interrogated, if there was any other person in the lodging excepting themselves two? |
6942 | Interrogated, what else the woman said to her? |
6942 | Interrogated, what prevented him from keeping his promise? |
6942 | Interrogated, what was the name of that person? |
6942 | Interrogated, when the child was taken away from her? |
6942 | Interrogated, where it now is? |
6942 | Interrogated, where she lives? |
6942 | Interrogated, whether she had ever seen the woman before she was wished to her, as she termed it, by the person whose name she refuses to answer? |
6942 | Interrogated, whether she had herself, at any time, had any purpose of putting away the child by violence? |
6942 | Interrogated, whether this woman was introduced to her by the said person verbally, or by word of mouth? |
6942 | Interrogated, whether, when she left the house of Mr. Saddletree, she went up or down the street? |
6942 | Interrogated, why she did not tell her story to her sister and father, and get force to search the house for her child, dead or alive? |
6942 | Interrogated, why she now conceals the name of the woman, and the place of her abode? |
6942 | Is this to be borne?--would our fathers have borne it? |
6942 | Novit, suldna Jeanie Deans be enclosed?" |
6942 | Now, do tell me, madam, how ye cam to think sae?'' |
6942 | O sleep ye sound, Sir James, she said, When ye suld rise and ride? |
6942 | Or wha ever heard of a lawyer''s suffering either for ae religion or another? |
6942 | Or what can ony ane have to say to me?" |
6942 | Pray, Mr. Pattieson, have you been in Edinburgh?" |
6942 | Ratcliffe?" |
6942 | Saddletree?" |
6942 | Saddletree?" |
6942 | Saddletree?" |
6942 | Saddletree?" |
6942 | Saddletree?" |
6942 | Saddletree?" |
6942 | Sharpitlaw?" |
6942 | She said,''Mem, have ye na far mair reason to be happy than me, wi''a gude husband and a fine family o''bairns, and plenty o''everything? |
6942 | Surely my father is no weel?" |
6942 | The Court then asked Mr. Fairbrother whether he had anything to say, why judgment should not follow on the verdict? |
6942 | The usual questions were then put to her:--Whether any one had instructed her what evidence she had to deliver? |
6942 | True; you mean nothing at_ first_--but when you asked her again, did she not tell you what ailed her?" |
6942 | Was it not for many years the place in which the Scottish parliament met? |
6942 | Was it strange or was it criminal, that she should have repelled their inquisitive impertinence with petulant denials? |
6942 | Was this indeed the Roaring Lion, who goeth about seeking whom he may devour? |
6942 | Wha kens wha''s turn it might be next?--But you saw him plainly?" |
6942 | What I saw of him was not very favourable-- who, or what is he?" |
6942 | What deevil could he hae to say to Jeanie Deans, or to ony woman on earth, that he suld gang awa and get his neck raxed for her? |
6942 | What did ye wi''your wedding ring, ye little cutty quean, O? |
6942 | What is your name?" |
6942 | What other business is there before us?" |
6942 | What signified his bringing a woman here to snotter and snivel, and bather their Lordships? |
6942 | When they entered the Court- room, Deans asked the Laird, in a tremulous whisper,"Where will_ she_ sit?" |
6942 | When this daring and yet sly freebooter was out of hearing, the magistrate asked the city clerk,"what he thought of the fellow''s assurance?" |
6942 | Where will he ever get a Cameronian advocate? |
6942 | Whether any one had given or promised her any good deed, hire, or reward, for her testimony? |
6942 | Whether she had any malice or ill- will at his Majesty''s Advocate, being the party against whom she was cited as a witness? |
6942 | Who else had an interest in a deed so inhuman? |
6942 | Why should not the Tolbooth have its''Last Speech, Confession, and Dying Words?'' |
6942 | Why will you not let me be your assistant-- your protector, or at least your adviser?" |
6942 | Will it not stick to us, and to our bairns, and to their very bairns''bairns? |
6942 | Will this stain, d''ye think, ever be forgotten, as lang as our heads are abune the grund? |
6942 | You saw your sister during the period preceding the birth of her child-- what is so natural as that she should have mentioned her condition to you? |
6942 | again reiterated Butler impatiently.--"Who could that woman be?" |
6942 | and has she not a sister?" |
6942 | and winna he be kend by that name sae lang as there''s a Scots tongue to speak the word? |
6942 | answered the criminal,"since it maun be sae, I saw Geordie Robertson among the boys that brake the jail; I suppose that will do me some gude?" |
6942 | answered the fiscal, still more disappointed--"what made you leave the woman?" |
6942 | are only worth the black coat I wear; but I am young-- I owe much to the family-- Can I do nothing?" |
6942 | but we are a hopeful family, to be twa o''us in the Guard at ance-- But there were better days wi''us ance-- were there na, mither?" |
6942 | echoed Halkit--"I suppose you mean he is your one and only client?" |
6942 | echoed the beldam"and what business has a blackguard like you to ca''an honest woman''s bairn out o''her ain name?" |
6942 | exclaimed the magistrate;"a whipping- post, I suppose, you mean?" |
6942 | he repeated--"the assistant of the schoolmaster at Liberton?" |
6942 | he said,"or would ye execute an act of justice as if it were a crime and a cruelty? |
6942 | how is it in my power?" |
6942 | is na that braid Scots?" |
6942 | is she innocent or guilty?" |
6942 | lay that and that together? |
6942 | not remember moonlight, and Muschat''s Cairn, and Rob and Rat?" |
6942 | or dispone Beersheba, when it lies sae weel into my ain plaid- nuik? |
6942 | said Effie, with something like awakened interest-- for life is dear even to those who feel it is a burden--"Wha tauld ye that, Jeanie?" |
6942 | said Jeanie, eagerly;"and what did he say?" |
6942 | said Ratcliffe, surprised,"is this your honour?" |
6942 | said Saddletree, impatiently;"didna ye get baith liberty and conscience made fast, and settled by tailzie on you and your heirs for ever?" |
6942 | said Saddletree, looking grave,--"siller will certainly do it in the Parliament House, if ony thing_ can_ do it; but where''s the siller to come frae? |
6942 | said Sharpitlaw to Ratcliffe--"Can you not get her forward?" |
6942 | said the good woman;"ye are looking as white as a sheet; will ye tak a dram?" |
6942 | said the hopeful jurisconsult,"or wherefore should I, since it is well known these Delilahs seduce my wisers and my betters? |
6942 | said the impatient magistrate--"Can she not tell her business, or go away?" |
6942 | said the interrogator--"You were in a hurry to tell the sight you had witnessed, I suppose?" |
6942 | said the prisoner"Isna my crown, my honour, removed? |
6942 | tell me wha has taen''t away, or what they hae dune wi''t?" |
6942 | this idle and thoughtless waste of time, to what evils had it not finally led? |
6942 | what Robertson?" |
6942 | what the deil ails ye now?--I thought we had settled a''that?" |
6942 | you know, I suppose?" |
41031 | ''A lass wi''a lad''s name? |
41031 | ''Ah, then, I suppose you gave Mr. Angus the full confession of your roguery as you came along?'' |
41031 | ''Ah, then,''said the stranger,''perhaps you will give me your company for the short distance we have still to go?'' |
41031 | ''Ah, what did you say?'' |
41031 | ''All the members of my literary staff are engaged at present,''said Mr. Licquorish, in a pleasant voice;''which one do you want?'' |
41031 | ''An antimacassar?'' |
41031 | ''An egotist is a person who-- but why do you want to know?'' |
41031 | ''An''hoo did she tak that?'' |
41031 | ''And Miss Abinger?'' |
41031 | ''And did you discover if either of you was right?'' |
41031 | ''And did your friend"lick"him then?'' |
41031 | ''And he laughed when he became a London correspondent?'' |
41031 | ''And how was it?'' |
41031 | ''And since then you have been half round the world again? |
41031 | ''And you never break this principle-- when a capital idea for an article strikes you on Sunday evening, for instance?'' |
41031 | ''And you wo n''t think the worse of me for it?'' |
41031 | ''Are you angry with me?'' |
41031 | ''Are you feeling better now, old fellow?'' |
41031 | ''Are you glad?'' |
41031 | ''Are you the author of the book?'' |
41031 | ''Are you there, Abinger?'' |
41031 | ''As proud as her father?'' |
41031 | ''At all events, he did not?'' |
41031 | ''Ay, ay? |
41031 | ''Ay, man?'' |
41031 | ''Ay,''said Sam''l, pricking up his ears,''an''wha was the brither gettin''?'' |
41031 | ''But I suppose it would never do, Dick?'' |
41031 | ''But did she not give you a note?'' |
41031 | ''But does she?'' |
41031 | ''But hoo did ye speir Chirsty yersel, Dan''l?'' |
41031 | ''But how could he have known anything about me?'' |
41031 | ''But how did Mr. Rorrison hear of my report, then?'' |
41031 | ''But how did it come about,''inquired Rob, while Rorrison smoked on imperturbably,''that the volumes were on sale singly?'' |
41031 | ''But if they do n''t forget each other; if Dowton fails again, and Mary continues to eat her heart in silence, what then?'' |
41031 | ''But if you know the real Dowton,''Rob asked,''how were you deceived?'' |
41031 | ''But is there anything remarkable in that,''asked Mary,''if he has so few friends in London?'' |
41031 | ''But no one made an offer for it?'' |
41031 | ''But what aboot a cradle?'' |
41031 | ''But why did he break down in his story,''asked Rob,''when he saw you?'' |
41031 | ''But why,''asked Rob,''did he turn the cheese into an oil- painting?'' |
41031 | ''But would it be the thing?'' |
41031 | ''But you had an elegant time while your money held out?'' |
41031 | ''But you had to write papa''s speech?'' |
41031 | ''But, Dick,''she added anxiously,''surely the others did not think what you thought? |
41031 | ''By the bye, old chap,''he said,''could you lend me five bob?'' |
41031 | ''By the way,''said Dick,''what became of the card? |
41031 | ''Ca n''t be what?'' |
41031 | ''Can you show me a copy of the_ Mirror_,''the captain asked,''for October 3rd?'' |
41031 | ''Colonel Abinger well?'' |
41031 | ''Did Mary know anything of this?'' |
41031 | ''Did he speak to you?'' |
41031 | ''Did he tell you how he knew my name was Abinger?'' |
41031 | ''Did he?'' |
41031 | ''Did it come down to"Sixpence, worth ninepence"?'' |
41031 | ''Did ony o''ye see little Davy Dundas, the saw- miller''s bairny?'' |
41031 | ''Did she tell you so?'' |
41031 | ''Did ye no ken she was lost?'' |
41031 | ''Did ye say ye''d seen Davy?'' |
41031 | ''Did you ever discover who he was?'' |
41031 | ''Did you not?'' |
41031 | ''Dine with me at the Garrick on Wednesday week, will you?'' |
41031 | ''Do n''t you know, Miss Meredith?'' |
41031 | ''Do n''t you remember?'' |
41031 | ''Do you care for any other person, Mary?'' |
41031 | ''Do you keep rabbits?'' |
41031 | ''Do you mean that I should go at all?'' |
41031 | ''Do you remember a man from a Silchester paper who was at the castle last Christmas?'' |
41031 | ''Do you remember what the book was?'' |
41031 | ''Do you remember,''Rob went on,''saying in that book that men were not to be trusted until they reached their second childhood?'' |
41031 | ''Do you remember,''he said at last,''a man called Angus, who was here reporting on Christmas Eve?'' |
41031 | ''Do you remember,''she asked, in a low voice,''how the accident happened? |
41031 | ''Does he walk so late as this?'' |
41031 | ''Does n''t the master whip him for that?'' |
41031 | ''Does papa know you are going?'' |
41031 | ''Does she open?'' |
41031 | ''Does she talk much to him?'' |
41031 | ''Does that mean,''asked Dick,''that you object to being sent back again to the spring?'' |
41031 | ''Does the colonel fish?'' |
41031 | ''Eh, what is wrong?'' |
41031 | ''Go it, Mister, go it,''he cried;''anything else? |
41031 | ''Hae ye seen Davy Dundas?'' |
41031 | ''Has a doctor seen him?'' |
41031 | ''Have you noticed anything else?'' |
41031 | ''Have you?'' |
41031 | ''He thought it should have been longer?'' |
41031 | ''He told you this?'' |
41031 | ''He''s one of those compositors taken to literature, is he?'' |
41031 | ''Here? |
41031 | ''Hoo did ye find that oot?'' |
41031 | ''How did they treat him?'' |
41031 | ''How is Mary?'' |
41031 | ''I always wanted to see you again, Mr. Angus,''he said, with an effort,''to ask you-- what flies you were using that day?'' |
41031 | ''I didna ken o''ony cure for sair teeth?'' |
41031 | ''I do n''t suppose you know how Mr. George Frederick fell in with him?'' |
41031 | ''I know you told him something else?'' |
41031 | ''I presume that you are engaged to Dowton?'' |
41031 | ''I remember going into a hotel with Rorrison once, and on a table we saw a sailor- hat lying, something like the one Nell wears-- or is it you?'' |
41031 | ''I say, Dick,''said one of the scullers,''are they engaged?'' |
41031 | ''I say, Nell,''he said,''you-- you, when you come down, you wo n''t kiss Greybrooke?'' |
41031 | ''I suppose he reads a great deal?'' |
41031 | ''I suppose there is a great deal of rivalry between the staffs of the two papers?'' |
41031 | ''I suppose,''said Rob, with a light in his eye,''that the interviewer is as much taken in by this as-- well, say, as I have been by you?'' |
41031 | ''I was a madman,''he said,''to think that she could ever have cared for me, but this will not interfere with our friendship, Abinger?'' |
41031 | ''I wonder what it can be?'' |
41031 | ''I wonder, is it my fault that my passion burned itself out in one little crackle? |
41031 | ''I wonder,''Dick remarked curiously,''what sort of girl Angus would take to?'' |
41031 | ''I wonder,''Mrs. Meredith remarked,''if Mary saw him at Silchester after that time at the castle?'' |
41031 | ''I wonder,''he asked himself, as he returned to his own chambers,''how the colonel will take this? |
41031 | ''I wonder,''said Snecky, looking curiously at the others,''what Rob has in the wy o''wages?'' |
41031 | ''I''ll warrant, Tammas,''he said,''ye cudna tell''s what set''s on to speak aboot Rob Angus?'' |
41031 | ''I''m thinkin''ye''re braw an''sarcestic yersel, Tammas?'' |
41031 | ''If you please, Mr. Simms,''she said apologetically,''would you speak to me a moment in the passage?'' |
41031 | ''Is Miss Abinger like the colonel?'' |
41031 | ''Is Mr. Angus often as late as this?'' |
41031 | ''Is he asleep now?'' |
41031 | ''Is it weakness or strength that has kept me what the world would call true to Nell? |
41031 | ''Is the Carlylean reminiscence taken from the biography?'' |
41031 | ''Is there anything in the_ Mirror_, father?'' |
41031 | ''Is''t the litlin''at''s aye wi''Rob?'' |
41031 | ''It is ugly, is it not?'' |
41031 | ''It would be a little hurried, would it not?'' |
41031 | ''Lads, lads,''said Silva,''an''is Leeby gone? |
41031 | ''Lady Louisa?'' |
41031 | ''Mary,''he cried,''is there no hope for me?'' |
41031 | ''Mary?'' |
41031 | ''Miss Abinger says nothing-- sends no messages-- I mean, does she ever mention me when she writes?'' |
41031 | ''Miss Abinger writes?'' |
41031 | ''No, I am not miserable; how could a man be miserable who has two chairs to lie upon, and a tobacco jar at his elbow? |
41031 | ''No? |
41031 | ''No? |
41031 | ''Not Mr. Angus, is it?'' |
41031 | ''Not even from your relatives?'' |
41031 | ''Oh, does he?'' |
41031 | ''Oh, would you care to have it?'' |
41031 | ''Oh, you and he got on well together, then?'' |
41031 | ''Oh,''he said,''it is you, is it?'' |
41031 | ''Oh,''she cried,''do you not see that it is so much harder to me than to you?'' |
41031 | ''On those occasions,''asked Simms,''when you are waiting for twelve o''clock, does the evening not seem to pass very slowly?'' |
41031 | ''Perhaps you have other calls to make?'' |
41031 | ''Perhaps you write for them?'' |
41031 | ''Run away?'' |
41031 | ''She is a Silchester lady?'' |
41031 | ''She is to marry Dowton, is she not?'' |
41031 | ''She''s no very expliceet, do ye think?'' |
41031 | ''So you waited till you were penniless, and then stole away?'' |
41031 | ''Soon?'' |
41031 | ''Surely it found a purchaser now?'' |
41031 | ''Surely,''she said,''I heard when I was at the Lodge of your having a niece, and that you and the little child lived alone in the saw- mill?'' |
41031 | ''That''s Snecky''s bell,''said the mole- catcher;''what can he be cryin''at this time o''nicht?'' |
41031 | ''The Frying Pan?'' |
41031 | ''The admirer of whom you spoke?'' |
41031 | ''The colonel might press her?'' |
41031 | ''The housekeeper here must know?'' |
41031 | ''The mither wud be in a michty wy at that?'' |
41031 | ''Then I go to London with the Merediths,''she continued, adding thoughtfully,''I suppose you mean to go to London, Mr. Angus? |
41031 | ''Then he was sad,''asked Rob,''because he was out of work?'' |
41031 | ''Then it is ended?'' |
41031 | ''Then why did you do it?'' |
41031 | ''Then you mean to remain?'' |
41031 | ''Then you think I ought to stay?'' |
41031 | ''Was he not?'' |
41031 | ''Was it long ago?'' |
41031 | ''Was it not rather_ The Scorn of Scorns_ that made us know each other?'' |
41031 | ''Was it to tell me this you came upstairs?'' |
41031 | ''Was it?'' |
41031 | ''Was it?'' |
41031 | ''Was there ever so beautiful a night?'' |
41031 | ''We might see him off, Mary?'' |
41031 | ''We never mentioned her; how could I, when he supposes her engaged to Dowton? |
41031 | ''We should strike the golden mean, you think?'' |
41031 | ''Well, but what of that?'' |
41031 | ''Well, how were you brought here?'' |
41031 | ''Well, if that is too long to wait, suppose you come to Dome Castle with me at Christmas?'' |
41031 | ''Well, what have you to say to that?'' |
41031 | ''Well, what''s to be done?'' |
41031 | ''Well,''said Mary,''that is one of your letters to Dick, is it not?'' |
41031 | ''Well?'' |
41031 | ''Well?'' |
41031 | ''Well?'' |
41031 | ''Were we not? |
41031 | ''Wha''s deid, Sandersy?'' |
41031 | ''What am I?'' |
41031 | ''What are you talking about?'' |
41031 | ''What card?'' |
41031 | ''What did you say his name was?'' |
41031 | ''What do ye mean, Pete Todd?'' |
41031 | ''What do you speak about, then?'' |
41031 | ''What do you think of George Frederick?'' |
41031 | ''What do you think?'' |
41031 | ''What does Mary say about him?'' |
41031 | ''What does Richard say about it?'' |
41031 | ''What else did you tell him?'' |
41031 | ''What else would he do it for?'' |
41031 | ''What have I done to your friend?'' |
41031 | ''What is a dabchick?'' |
41031 | ''What is his name, Dick?'' |
41031 | ''What is it, Nelly?'' |
41031 | ''What is it?'' |
41031 | ''What is the use of you?'' |
41031 | ''What is your sister''s name?'' |
41031 | ''What made ye think o''speirin''her, Sam''l?'' |
41031 | ''What sort of copy?'' |
41031 | ''What was he doing taking down a sermon?'' |
41031 | ''What was your opeenion o''her then, Tammas?'' |
41031 | ''What would all come out?'' |
41031 | ''What would make her do that?'' |
41031 | ''What? |
41031 | ''Whaur''s Davy?'' |
41031 | ''When does the club close?'' |
41031 | ''When the colonel writes to you,''he said, as he walked into his room,''does he make any mention of Dowton?'' |
41031 | ''Where have you been?'' |
41031 | ''Who is he?'' |
41031 | ''Who is he?'' |
41031 | ''Who is it?'' |
41031 | ''Who is it?'' |
41031 | ''Who is that?'' |
41031 | ''Who is the man so like Dowton?'' |
41031 | ''Whom do you mean?'' |
41031 | ''Why did he say you were not his sister?'' |
41031 | ''Why do n''t you answer me?'' |
41031 | ''Why not?'' |
41031 | ''Why not?'' |
41031 | ''Why not?'' |
41031 | ''Why should not he have his?'' |
41031 | ''Why, Will,''exclaimed Nell,''you never gave me any message?'' |
41031 | ''Why, what else could any one think after that ridiculous affair of the water?'' |
41031 | ''Why, you surely do n''t work on Saturday nights?'' |
41031 | ''Why,''asked Dick, while his father also looked up,''have you some savage animal up there?'' |
41031 | ''Why?'' |
41031 | ''Why?'' |
41031 | ''Will Leeby hae seen the castle?'' |
41031 | ''Will,''she said,''have you seen the new ponies papa gave me on my birthday?'' |
41031 | ''Ye dinna like Rob?'' |
41031 | ''Ye saw the leddy, Tammas?'' |
41031 | ''Ye''ll no say ye wasna fond o''her?'' |
41031 | ''Ye''re a U.P., Jamie?'' |
41031 | ''Yes,''answered Rob, without a tremor;''at Dome Castle, was it not?'' |
41031 | ''Yes; but when?'' |
41031 | ''You are a barber, I presume?'' |
41031 | ''You are burst up for the present, Josephs, I presume?'' |
41031 | ''You are not going away, though?'' |
41031 | ''You did not buy the second volume, did you?'' |
41031 | ''You did not talk about Mary?'' |
41031 | ''You do n''t believe it,''repeated her father angrily;''and why not, pray?'' |
41031 | ''You do n''t think I wrote the book?'' |
41031 | ''You expected this, I dare say?'' |
41031 | ''You had something special to tell me, had you not?'' |
41031 | ''You have no lurking desire to write a book, have you?'' |
41031 | ''You have not seen Miss Abinger?'' |
41031 | ''You mean that time you caught him fishing in the Dome? |
41031 | ''You mean to say that you refused him?'' |
41031 | ''You never had that suspicion of me?'' |
41031 | ''You read the society journals, Josephs?'' |
41031 | ''You think I should go north?'' |
41031 | ''You were already married?'' |
41031 | ''You wo n''t hit him very hard?'' |
41031 | ''Your name?'' |
41031 | ( a philanthropist) dies at 1 A.M.: which of these, speaking technically, would you call a creditable death?'' |
41031 | )'';''My First Murder( magazine? |
41031 | A. Froude would say,''Is it because they think he would, And have they read a line of Froude? |
41031 | Am I an agnostic? |
41031 | Angus, what is an egotist?'' |
41031 | Angus?'' |
41031 | Angus?'' |
41031 | Angus?'' |
41031 | Angus?'' |
41031 | Angus?'' |
41031 | Angus?'' |
41031 | Angus?'' |
41031 | Angus?'' |
41031 | Any more specials coming in?'' |
41031 | Are there any more of them?'' |
41031 | Are you married?'' |
41031 | Are you prepared to join us?'' |
41031 | At last he blurted it out with a white face, and what do you think it was?'' |
41031 | But I do n''t suppose you know it?'' |
41031 | But mebbe ye mean Davy Dundas?'' |
41031 | But,''he added sharply,''how do you know that I lost it?'' |
41031 | By the way, he saw the first Sir Clement at Dome Castle, did he not?'' |
41031 | By the way, you are Scotch, I think?'' |
41031 | CHAPTER VII THE GRAND PASSION? |
41031 | Can you not guess it? |
41031 | Can you translate that into newspaper English?'' |
41031 | Could that scene have had any other meaning? |
41031 | Dick exclaimed;''what masquerade is this?'' |
41031 | Did n''t I tell you I heard him groaning it over to himself?'' |
41031 | Did not Will tell you? |
41031 | Did she send a copy of the work to us?'' |
41031 | Do n''t you remember writing out this clergyman''s sermon in shorthand, and a messenger''s coming to you for your report on horseback next day?'' |
41031 | Do you follow me?'' |
41031 | Do you know what it is to have such a passion as that raging in your heart and yet have to stifle it? |
41031 | Do you promise me so much?'' |
41031 | Do you think there''s onything in that?'' |
41031 | From that moment she resolved if he got better( is it not terrible this, that the best of us try to make terms with God?) |
41031 | Greybrooke does not have much interest in horses?'' |
41031 | Have you been there?'' |
41031 | Have you got over that yet?'' |
41031 | He had taken a sitting, however, in the Scotch church, to the bewilderment of the minister, who said,''But I thought you were a reporter?'' |
41031 | Her mouth was quivering, but how could he know? |
41031 | His voice was trembling a little, and he observed it with gratification as he answered--''Then, I suppose, I must bid you good- bye?'' |
41031 | How about the sudden termination to the visit you honoured the colonel with last Christmas?'' |
41031 | How could I think worse of you for that?'' |
41031 | How do you mean?'' |
41031 | How long is it since I gave a thought to religion? |
41031 | How many brothers have you now?'' |
41031 | How would the editor be likely to take it?'' |
41031 | I have been told that in winter the wild boars take refuge in the streets of Inverness, and that there are sometimes very exciting hunts after them?'' |
41031 | I suppose you have been besieging the newspaper offices since you arrived; any result?'' |
41031 | I suppose, now, you are never wrong when you"build up"so much on so little?'' |
41031 | I wonder if it was for Mary''s sake I lied, or merely because it would have been too troublesome to speak the truth? |
41031 | Is Gladstone a god? |
41031 | Is a man necessarily a villain because love dies out of his heart, or has his reason some right to think the affair over and show him where he stands? |
41031 | Is it not strange how this has come about?'' |
41031 | Is it not too bad?'' |
41031 | Is she engaged to Dowton?'' |
41031 | It is, of course, on that footing that you return now?'' |
41031 | Mary rose to leave the room, and as Sir Clement opened the door for her he said--''We shall say nothing of all this to Colonel Abinger?'' |
41031 | Must he be told? |
41031 | Oh, Mary,''she added woefully,''what do you think?'' |
41031 | Or is it only that they fear The comment they have made is queer, And that they either must erase it, Or say it''s Mr. Froude who says it? |
41031 | Question Two: A man hangs himself; what is the technical heading for this?'' |
41031 | Rob had no idea what the season was, but he saw that some time Mary would be going away, and his face said, what would he do then? |
41031 | Rob nodded, and was retiring, when the editor called after him--''You are not a married man, Angus?'' |
41031 | Rob stopped abruptly in the street with the sudden thought, Was it possible that she did not care for Simms? |
41031 | Rob thought for a moment of explaining what sea it is, and then he thought, why should he? |
41031 | Should we have a republic? |
41031 | The Solway Firth, is it?'' |
41031 | Then a lady''s voice said,''Who is that magnificent young man?'' |
41031 | Then he heard a voice saying--''Who are you? |
41031 | Then how do you pass your Sundays?'' |
41031 | There is surely an English church in Thrums, for I am sure papa would not think a sermon excellent that was preached in a chapel?'' |
41031 | To whom is London much more? |
41031 | Was Rob back from the woods yet? |
41031 | Was it like the chivalrous soul you make him to flout this matter before us?'' |
41031 | Was there no streak of cloud in those halcyon days?'' |
41031 | We shall see you at ten o''clock to- morrow?'' |
41031 | Were you ever snowed up in your saw- mill? |
41031 | What am I? |
41031 | What are politics when the pipes in the bath- room burst? |
41031 | What are these? |
41031 | What do you think?'' |
41031 | What do you want?'' |
41031 | What had Kitty been about? |
41031 | What made you say you did?'' |
41031 | What mair does it say?'' |
41031 | What was Sir Clement Dowton, after all, that he should be frightened at him? |
41031 | What were Mary''s feelings? |
41031 | Where did you pick it up?'' |
41031 | Where is your landing- net?'' |
41031 | Who speaks first? |
41031 | Who would dare to seek the thoughts of a girl at such a moment? |
41031 | Whom are you speaking about?'' |
41031 | Why had he always seemed an unhappy, disappointed man if the one thing in the world worth striving for was his? |
41031 | Ye''ll mind the burn rins through the saw- mill? |
41031 | Yet by his merely remaining silent these two lovers would probably never meet again, and was not that what would be best for Mary? |
41031 | You must have heard of Noble Simms?'' |
41031 | You see this pipe here? |
41031 | and then asked,''Is there not a train that would suit from Sunbury?'' |
41031 | cried the other, brandishing his cane,''are you aware that this water is preserved?'' |
41031 | exclaimed Rob;''why, you must have passed through Thrums?'' |
41031 | exclaimed the colonel;''what do you mean?'' |
41031 | he asked indignantly,''if you ca n''t do a simple thing like that?'' |
41031 | he asked, speaking low, so that the other occupants of the boat should not hear him,''Mary and Dowton?'' |
41031 | is Gladstone the devil? |
41031 | says Joey, wi''rale consairn,"nae better yet?" |
12669 | ''What can be my sister''s meaning here? |
12669 | ''Where are all my people? |
12669 | ''Where is Murdoch? |
12669 | ''Why, May, my dear, what have you been to- day? 12669 A rubber or a reel, my Leddie?" |
12669 | An''wha thought o''seein ye enow? |
12669 | An''wha''s faut was that? 12669 And do you think, then, for a father''s forgiveness it is not worth while to have a little perseverance?" |
12669 | And how, then, can you contrive to exist here? |
12669 | And if they should,answered her hostess in her most appalling tone,"what is that to you? |
12669 | And is this really all? 12669 And noo,"said the Bailie, as they emerged from his place of dole and durance,"will ye step up to the monument, and tak a rest and some refreshment?" |
12669 | And poor Lady Juliana,said Mrs. Downe Wright in a tone of affected sympathy,"I hope she is able to see her friends?" |
12669 | And pray, can this wonderful wise heart of yours inform you who it is you are going to obtain for a husband? |
12669 | And what''s become of her brooch? |
12669 | And why not? |
12669 | And will he really not be fed on bread and water, and wear chains, and sleep upon straw? |
12669 | And you, Mary, are your remarks to be equally judicious and polite? |
12669 | But I thought we were forbidden to judge one another? |
12669 | But are you_ quite_ sure,said she,"that I shall have my mother''s consent to go?" |
12669 | But for you, it appears that she would not have known-- certainly never would have acknowledged that her husband had an aunt? |
12669 | But in poor Mrs. Lennox''s case that would be to hope though hope were lost; for what can she hope for now? 12669 But is she not a lovely creature?" |
12669 | But whar''s the girlies? |
12669 | But why do you ask?'' 12669 But with these changes you must also have seen many improvements?" |
12669 | But you''ll allow there are some sorts of love that may be indulged without casting any shade upon the understanding? |
12669 | Can your Ladyship ask such a question, after having formally invited us? |
12669 | Canna ye sit still a wee, man, an''let me spear after my auld freens at Glenfern? 12669 Dear Harry, will you really dress me? |
12669 | Dear me, Donald, how could you be so senseless? |
12669 | Dearest Mary, who would not love you? 12669 Did you not meet her?" |
12669 | Do n''t you think it looks a_ leettle_ inflamed, Miss Mary? |
12669 | Do you imagine I will allow Lady Juliana to stand here all day, to answer all the absurd questions that come into the heads of three old women? 12669 Do you mean that the spilling of the custard was the work of an angel?" |
12669 | Do you really think so? |
12669 | Do you see what you have done, you old Donald, you? |
12669 | Do you suppose I should have allowed the General to wait for that too all this time, if he had not breakfasted many hours ago? |
12669 | Does anybody sing here? |
12669 | Does her merit lie only in her name then? |
12669 | Does your Ladyship choose any tea? |
12669 | Douglas,said the General,"have you made any step towards a reconciliation with your father- in- law? |
12669 | For trifles why should I displease The man I love? 12669 Hae, bairn-- tak a cookie; tak it up-- what are you fear''d for? |
12669 | Have I then no fears for thee, my_ mother?_ Can I forget thy cares, from helpless years-- Thy tenderness for me? 12669 Have I then no fears for thee, my_ mother?_ Can I forget thy cares, from helpless years-- Thy tenderness for me? |
12669 | Have you breakfasted? |
12669 | How could you be such a fool, my love, as to read it any such thing? 12669 How could you bring me to such a place? |
12669 | How did you contrive to arrive without being heard by me, Frederick? |
12669 | How do you do, pretty creature? |
12669 | How so? |
12669 | I HOPE your Lordship has no thoughts of waiting dinner for Lord Lindore? |
12669 | I am afraid she is rather a formidable person, then? |
12669 | I daresay you remember these, things done in a very different style? |
12669 | I declare I am quite sorry to see them take so much trouble,yawning as she leant back in her chair;"is it not quite shocking, Tommy? |
12669 | I hope you passed a pleasant day there yesterday? |
12669 | I was most particularly civil; I wonder what you would have me to do? 12669 If a person speaks sense and truth, what does it signify how it is spoken? |
12669 | If people_ will_ be irritable,said Mary, laughing,"why must others sacrifice their feelings to gratify them?" |
12669 | In the name of heaven, what does all this mean? |
12669 | In what? |
12669 | Is he a man of bad character? |
12669 | Is he not divine? |
12669 | Is it that virtuous woman Lady Maclaughlan you would shun, nephew? |
12669 | Is it the dancing dogs they are speaking about? |
12669 | Is she a_ real_ authoress that is coming? |
12669 | Is there anything dear Sir Sampson could take? |
12669 | Is there nothing within the bounds of possibility you would fancy, Julia? |
12669 | Mary, my child, where are you? |
12669 | May we inquire the reason of this sudden resolution? |
12669 | My Lady? |
12669 | My dear Julia, how can you be so absurd? 12669 My dearest Juliana, what is the meaning of all this?" |
12669 | My love? |
12669 | Need I remind you that to your mother I owe every benefit in life? 12669 None at all?" |
12669 | Now quhere''s the lady of this castle? |
12669 | Now, girls, I must go to my toilet; which of you am I to have for my handmaid? |
12669 | Now, what would you think of the Duke of L---? |
12669 | Of what_ fete_ do you speak? |
12669 | Oh, is it you? |
12669 | Oh, what shall I do? |
12669 | Oh, why should he do it now? 12669 Only us? |
12669 | Oo, what''s takin''ye awa, Archie, in sic a hurry? 12669 Or that it was the devil tempted you to throw away your ace there? |
12669 | Or too hot? |
12669 | Or too soft? |
12669 | Perhaps your bed was too hard? |
12669 | Pray, Mr. Downe Wright, can you suggest anything better for the purpose than an old song? |
12669 | Pray, do you play on the harp,asked the volatile lady, scarcely waiting till the first stanza was ended;"and,_ apropos,_ have you a good harp here?" |
12669 | Pray, is it only on Sundays you make a point of disobeying your mother? |
12669 | Pray, ma''am, has she come out, or is she simply_ bel esprit?_inquired the lady. |
12669 | Pray, my dear, did you ever read the''Vicar of Wakefield?'' |
12669 | Pray, tell me,said Mary, with a smile,"what are your ideas of a Methodist?" |
12669 | Pray, what is so alarming in the apprehension? 12669 Qui vous a pu plonger dans cette humeur chagrine, A- t- on par quelque edit rà © formà © la cuisine?" |
12669 | Rather dark, do n''t you think, my love? |
12669 | Shall I be your Abigail? |
12669 | Shall I say I''m very sorry for what I have done? |
12669 | Shall we have some music, then? 12669 So you have lost your neighbour, Mrs. Lennox, since I was here? |
12669 | So you really are going to torment yourself with that little screech- owl? |
12669 | That is a picture of your son, Colonel Lennox, is it not? |
12669 | That''s right, Doctor; who is it that says''And still believe the story false that_ ought_ not to be true? 12669 The christening, I presume, would be the next distinguished event in the family?" |
12669 | The old story, I suppose? |
12669 | The''Vicar of Wakefield?'' 12669 Then suppose I make one more attempt to soften papa, and be received into favour again?" |
12669 | Then what can I do with a girl who has been educated in Scotland? 12669 Then why not love her? |
12669 | Then you are of opinion wickedness lies all in the eye of the world, not in the depths of the heart? 12669 Then you think love and madness are one and the same thing, it seems?" |
12669 | WHAT_ can_ have come over Lady Maclaughlan? |
12669 | Was your head high enough, dear Lady Maclaughlan? |
12669 | Well, Mr. Shagg,cried Lady Juliana,"what''s to be done with that odious leopard''s skin? |
12669 | Well, but you can get it yet? |
12669 | Well, how do you like Mrs. Macshake, Mary? |
12669 | Well, never mind the pigs, my dear; only do n''t give us any of them for dinner-- ha, ha, ha I-- and, May, when will you let us have it? |
12669 | Well-- what do you think of Lindore? |
12669 | Well-- what more? 12669 What are you about, you confounded rascals?" |
12669 | What brought you to the toon? 12669 What could I do?" |
12669 | What could possibly instigate you to so absurd an act as that of asking Lady Juliana''s consent? 12669 What dangers ought''st thou not to dread, When Love, that''s blind, is by blind Fortune, led?" |
12669 | What day of the week does your Ladyship call this? |
12669 | What do you mean? |
12669 | What else could we do with it? |
12669 | What have I to do with them? 12669 What is the meaning of this?" |
12669 | What is the name of the physician at Bristol who is so celebrated for consumptive complaints? |
12669 | What strange thing is that you are making? |
12669 | What the devil did that signify if the man had a good character? |
12669 | What things? |
12669 | What was your idea of a desert? |
12669 | What will our sweet niece say to this, I wonder? |
12669 | What would you do in such desperate circumstances? |
12669 | What would your Ladyship choose to play at?'' 12669 What''s aw this wark aboo?" |
12669 | What''s the matter? 12669 What''s the pool to be?" |
12669 | What,said her husband,"is that the leopard''s skin you were raving about last week, and your are tired of it before it has been used?" |
12669 | What? 12669 Where is my Lady?" |
12669 | Where would you go? |
12669 | Where''s Tom? |
12669 | Where''s the coffee? |
12669 | Who did you live with in London? |
12669 | Who do you mean? 12669 Who is that gentleman?" |
12669 | Who is this favoured individual whose absence you are so pathetically lamenting, Julia? |
12669 | Who talks of going to church? |
12669 | Who taught the parrot to cry, hail? 12669 Why at this time more than at any other?" |
12669 | Why, what would you have, children? |
12669 | Will you take a little soup, love? |
12669 | Worse than a fool,said Mrs. Douglas indignantly,"for she hates and abjures this her poor unoffending babe""Does she so?" |
12669 | You appear to have had very stormy weather at Rose Hall? |
12669 | You speak from experience of its virtues in that respect, I suppose? |
12669 | You surely can not be serious in supposing I would barter a positive duty for a trifling amusement? |
12669 | Your proposals flatter and delight me, but how in the name of Postage are we to transport our brains to and fro? 12669 Zounds, what is the meaning of all this?" |
12669 | ''Can honour take away the grief of a wound?'' |
12669 | ''What''sa''the fraize aboot, ye gowks?" |
12669 | --_Ã propos,_ Henry, there will surely be a ball to welcome our arrival?" |
12669 | --or,"Are you sure, Mary, that''s not my thimble you have got? |
12669 | A salmon fishing at the very door!--I should just like to know what_ is_ the meaning of it?" |
12669 | Adelaide,"exclaimed her cousin, in an affected manner,"what are you made of? |
12669 | An''was nae that something like a waddin? |
12669 | And a fancy ball!--what is that?" |
12669 | And are we not going away?" |
12669 | And have you got no money? |
12669 | And pray, what has your heart to say to that?" |
12669 | And shall it be, that man alone Dies, never more to rise again? |
12669 | And the remembrance of earthly scenes, are they indeed to the enfranchised spirit as the morning dream, or the dew upon the early flower? |
12669 | And the spirit which animated the clay, where is it now? |
12669 | And whilk o''ye, I sude like to ken,''II ere leive to see ninety- sax, like me? |
12669 | And yet what could I do in my situation, what would you have done?" |
12669 | Another now advanced--"Wilt thou be gone? |
12669 | Archie Douglas, is this you?" |
12669 | Are they not, my darling?" |
12669 | Are ye come to spend our honest faither''s siller ere he''s weel cauld in his grave, puir man?" |
12669 | Are you a mouse, that you are afraid they will eat you? |
12669 | As to his liking to talk to me, pray who else can he talk to? |
12669 | At length, making an effort, she abruptly said--"Pray, Mary, tell me what you think of me?" |
12669 | Bless me, what will be done?" |
12669 | But there is Rose Hall, with its pretty shrubberies and nice parterres, what do you say to becoming its mistress?" |
12669 | But what can be the meaning of all this? |
12669 | But what shall I do? |
12669 | But what signifies that? |
12669 | But where, in the whole compass of the English language, will you find a word capable of conveying the same idea?" |
12669 | But why should I tease you by going through the different characters? |
12669 | But why so pale and frightened- looking?" |
12669 | CHAPTER XXVII"Shall we grieve their hovering shades, Which wait the revolution in our hearts? |
12669 | Can any soil protect from grief, Or any air breathe soft relief? |
12669 | Can it be that we now shrink with horror from the touch of that hand which but yesterday was fondly clasped in our own? |
12669 | Can not you make allowance for it: a young lady''s not being in love?" |
12669 | Can nothing touch you?--nothing fix your thoughts, and make you serious for a single moment? |
12669 | Can we get away to- day?" |
12669 | Can you bear to listen to our croakings after the warbling of your Italian nightingales?" |
12669 | Can you deny that Sir Sampson has been half- poisoned? |
12669 | Can you deny that my pocket was picked of half- a- crown for nothing? |
12669 | Come Mary-- are you ready--_cap- Ã -pie_?" |
12669 | Come, confess, is not that the climax of virtue in the creed of your school?" |
12669 | Come, what characters shall we choose?" |
12669 | Could a woman of Lady Audley''s discernment, it may be asked, place two young persons in such a situation, and doubt the consequences? |
12669 | Could anything equal her impertinence about my roebuck? |
12669 | Could she be the person to inflict on Lady Audley the severest disappointment she could experience? |
12669 | Could she therefore be so selfish as to add to his uneasiness by a display of her sufferings? |
12669 | Could there be such a humiliation-- such a degradation? |
12669 | Darest thou to walk, unappall''d and firm- hearted,''Mid the shadowy steps of the mighty departed? |
12669 | Did I inform your Ladyship that my brother had given my nephew a great quantity of money?" |
12669 | Did Mrs. Douglas only dress up a scarecrow to frighten you, or had she the candour to show you Love himself in all his majesty?" |
12669 | Did you make a good breakfast this morning? |
12669 | Did you, Adelaide?'' |
12669 | Div ye want him?" |
12669 | Do I know the person who is the original? |
12669 | Do I look like as if I was capable of hindering boys from sweein''gates, Miss Douglas?" |
12669 | Do n''t you know anything about this grand affair that everybody has been talking of for two days? |
12669 | Do n''t you know that you and Adelaide are both to bring out this winter, and how can I possibly do you justice with a dying girl upon my hands?" |
12669 | Do n''t you think this would make a good opening of the piece? |
12669 | Do you know yourselves? |
12669 | Do you know yourselves?" |
12669 | Does he know? |
12669 | Does it witness our grief, and share our sorrows? |
12669 | Doth yew and willow ever shade thy string And melancholy sable banners fling, Warring''midst hosts of elegant desire? |
12669 | Dull? |
12669 | Even a noble nature may fall into a great error; but what is that to the ever- enduring pride, envy, malice, and conceit of a little mind? |
12669 | Every meeting began with,"My dear Mary, how did you sleep last night? |
12669 | Give us your Scotch Exile, pray? |
12669 | Has her Ladyship taken any further steps since her arrival in town?" |
12669 | Have you ever turned your thoughts that way?" |
12669 | He is in a good enough business at present, but in these times who can tell what''s to happen? |
12669 | He therefore accosted his son with:"What was the meaning o''aw that skirling and squeeling I heard a while ago? |
12669 | He''s in the law, I think?" |
12669 | Henry sighed, as he thought,"''Why has not my poor babe such a mother of its own?" |
12669 | Hoo''s Grizzy, an''Jacky, and Nicky? |
12669 | How can a thing be distressing that does no harm? |
12669 | How could she? |
12669 | How could we? |
12669 | How could you conceal it from me? |
12669 | How could you do so foolish a thing?" |
12669 | How long will it take?--a week?" |
12669 | How will he bear to behold the mother he so loved and honoured, now blind, bereft, and helpless?" |
12669 | How_ could_ you behave in such a manner, my Lady Maclaughlan?" |
12669 | I choose to stand-- I do n''t like to sit-- I never sit at home-- do I, Sir Sampson?" |
12669 | I have promised him that when he comes to Beech Park you shall sing him my favourite Scotch song,''Should auld acquaintance be forgot?'' |
12669 | I wonder whar their tochers are to come frae?" |
12669 | I wonder what cam''o''the lasses i''my time, that bute to bide at hame? |
12669 | If Mary absented herself for a day, her salutation was,"My dear Mary, what became of you yesterday? |
12669 | If a woman can nurse her bairns, mak''their claes, and manage her hoose, what mair need she do? |
12669 | If people_ will_ be affected and ridiculous, why must I live in a state of warfare with myself on account of the feelings they rouse within me?" |
12669 | Is Johnnie gone?" |
12669 | Is his name Lennox? |
12669 | Is it at having made the discovery that your good old friend is a-- a-- I beg your pardon-- a bit of a goose? |
12669 | Is it because I said papa would n''t forgive me? |
12669 | Is it wrapt in bliss, or dissolved in woe? |
12669 | Is not remembrance ever there? |
12669 | Is not that strange?" |
12669 | Is she afraid that I am one of your country relations, and taken her flight from the breakfast- table in consequence?" |
12669 | Is that it? |
12669 | Is that tongue, whose accents even now dwell in our ear, forever chained in the silence of death? |
12669 | Is that what you call sympathy?" |
12669 | Is this the behaviour of women in their senses? |
12669 | It was not because I am open and candid that I resented your engagement with Colonel Lennox; it was because I was-- because-- cannot you guess?" |
12669 | Lady Juliana had nothing to say to children beyond a"How d''ye do, love?" |
12669 | Mary, my love, where are--? |
12669 | May I beg a nearer view of it?" |
12669 | Mouse, are you within?" |
12669 | Now, ca n''t you guess what renders even these very faults so attractive to me?" |
12669 | O''what can ye mak''o''a''that siller? |
12669 | Of all creation, highest one, Created but to live in vain? |
12669 | Oh, by- the- bye, have you a great many children?" |
12669 | On opening it, what should it prove but your book returned? |
12669 | Or is the mysterious tie that linked it with mortality forever broken? |
12669 | Or shall I begin? |
12669 | Pray, are you then positively prohibited from falling in love? |
12669 | Pray, my lad,"setting down one of the glasses, and addressing the post- boy,"what is the name of that house?" |
12669 | Pray, was it the sight or the smell of the beast[ 1] that shocked you so much, my dear Lady Juliana? |
12669 | Pray, which of you is it that wears shirts?" |
12669 | Pray,"addressing Grizzy, and bringing her into the full blaze of observation,"may I ask, was it of_ the_ Campbell these electric words were spoken? |
12669 | Redgill?" |
12669 | Shall I summon the inimitable Slash to preside?" |
12669 | Shall we disdain their silent, soft address; Their posthumous advice and pious prayer?" |
12669 | She gave him the best character, did she not?" |
12669 | She has left no family, I believe?" |
12669 | Show me, if you can, such an image in Scott?" |
12669 | Tell me, is it Sophia herself?" |
12669 | The first salutations over, the General demanded,"Am I not to be favoured with a sight of your lady? |
12669 | The man who has just gone out? |
12669 | Then observing the indignation that spread over Mr. Douglas''s face, she quickly resumed,"An''so ye think the kirsnin was the neist ploy? |
12669 | Then what vexes you so much? |
12669 | Then whispering to her,"What would you think of such a desert as this, with the man of your heart?" |
12669 | These black and heavy eyelids, are they for ever to seal up in darkness the eyes whose glance no earthly power could restrain? |
12669 | To the present generation they are as if they had never been, and to the question,"Did you ever read_ Marriage? |
12669 | Wha can tell what like ye are wi''that snule o''a thing on ye''re head?" |
12669 | Wha''s the better o''them but innkeepers and chise- drivers? |
12669 | What did you mean,"turning fiercely to the astonished piper,"by blowing that confounded bladder?" |
12669 | What do you mean by fatality?" |
12669 | What do you purpose doing yourself?" |
12669 | What do you think of my behaviour just now?" |
12669 | What gars ye luck sae blae, bairn? |
12669 | What is it she would have? |
12669 | What man in his senses would ever ask a woman who had been such an idiot as to refuse five and twenty thousand a year?" |
12669 | What taught the chattering pie his tale? |
12669 | What think ye of that?" |
12669 | What though on classic ground we tread, What though we breathe a genial air-- Can these restore the bliss that''s fled? |
12669 | What would we be without appetites? |
12669 | What would you take, Miss Douglas? |
12669 | What would you think of Charles Lennox?" |
12669 | What, then, is this mysterious dread that has taken possession of me? |
12669 | When did you know me invite anybody for a Tuesday?" |
12669 | When she betook herself to the window, it was one incessant cry of"Who''s coach is that, Mary, with the green and orange liveries? |
12669 | When will you write?" |
12669 | Where shall I find a hero upon five hundred a year for you? |
12669 | Where''s my Lady? |
12669 | Who wrote it?" |
12669 | Why can I not, as formerly, picture to myself the beauty and the brightness of a soul casting off mortality? |
12669 | Why did you not remain with her, or marry an Englishman? |
12669 | Why do I suffer my mind to suggest to me images of horror, instead of visions of bliss? |
12669 | Why do n''t you electrify him?'' |
12669 | Why ha''nt you black eyes? |
12669 | Why must the convulsed grasp, the stifled groan, the glaring eye, for ever come betwixt heaven and me?" |
12669 | Why should''st thou see that our fame is departed?" |
12669 | Why, can you deny that my petticoat''s ruined?" |
12669 | Why, then, should I hesitate to do what my conscience tells me ought to be done? |
12669 | Will you choose your own style, or shall I leave it to Madame Trieur to do us up exactly alike?" |
12669 | Will you come, love?" |
12669 | Will you do this, darling?" |
12669 | Wull ye let me draw my breath, man? |
12669 | Yet who can tell the brightness of those visions with which the parting soul may be visited? |
12669 | You are a wonderful people, you Scotch-- a very wonderful people-- but, pray, was she at any pains to examine the fellow''s tongue?" |
12669 | You could go to church in spite of her, and surely you ca n''t think her consent of much consequence to a ball?" |
12669 | _ Apropos,_ you will find it dull here by yourself, wo n''t you? |
12669 | _"Could_ take? |
12669 | a great, great deal; I do n''t know how much, though--""Did I?" |
12669 | and what''s a ball, that a whole family should be thrown into disorder for it?" |
12669 | are you almost starved to death? |
12669 | asked Lady Emily;"my ears have been wide open these two days and three nights watching your approach?" |
12669 | can tell where the mischief may end? |
12669 | cried Mrs. Douglas, her eyes beaming with delight,"do you then confirm Lady Juliana''s kind promise? |
12669 | do I indeed find you thus?" |
12669 | do n''t you like your flowers to be gathered?" |
12669 | exclaimed Lady Emily;"can I credit my ears? |
12669 | exclaimed Lord Courtland in a fury;"what the devil have you to do with a heart, I should like to know? |
12669 | exclaimed both spinsters at once, darting forward and seizing a hand;"bless me, do n''t you know us? |
12669 | exclaimed her Ladyship,"what is all this tirade about? |
12669 | exclaimed her companion,"is this the only effect''Matilda''s moan''has produced upon you? |
12669 | flying to her pug, who came barking into the room"where have you been, and where''s my darling Psyche, and sweet mackaw? |
12669 | for you left all your other delicacies for me, ha, ha, ha I-- what do you say to that, May? |
12669 | how can you ask so foolish a question? |
12669 | may I ask in what department she chiefly excels?" |
12669 | not frightened for our Hieland hills, my leddy? |
12669 | or what is it?" |
12669 | repeated Lady Emily indignantly,"for what?" |
12669 | repeated Lady Juliana, with a scream of horror and surprise;"surely, papa, you can not be serious? |
12669 | repeated Lady Juliana, with surprise"then, why do you make children''s stockings?" |
12669 | repeated her sister- in- law;"what can it suffer? |
12669 | repeated she, with a contemptuous laugh,"what caw ye mainers noo, for I dinna ken? |
12669 | repeated she;"why, what should I sit down for? |
12669 | repeated the driver;"ca''ye thon a hoose? |
12669 | thought Mary, as she tenderly embraced her,"such a blessing is worth a dozen balls?" |
12669 | turning sharply round upon her;"what ken ye about impruvements, bairn? |
12669 | what am I to do with this?" |
12669 | what can human power or earthly honours do to cheer the mother who has wept o''er her children''s graves? |
12669 | what has her edication been, to mak''her different frae other women? |
12669 | what''s a''this wastery for?" |
12669 | what''s the matter?" |
12669 | when may I go to Bath to dear Aunt Grizzy?" |
12669 | who can contemplate these with feelings that can be defined? |
12669 | who treads where Macgregor is lying? |
12669 | you have n''t forgot your old schoolfellow Bob Gawffaw?" |
12669 | you must be mistaken, my lad: why, what''s become of all the fine wood that used to surround it?" |
12669 | you really pretend to say you would not marry the Duke of Altamont?" |
12669 | you were afraid of the effects of evil example?" |
56675 | ''What''s the use, mother,''she said,''of teaching me all this-- when perhaps I wo n''t marry a Presbyterian at all?'' |
56675 | A what? |
56675 | A yacht? 56675 And Aunt Agnes?" |
56675 | And did you always want to be alone? |
56675 | And do n''t you believe them in your inmost heart, Gordon? |
56675 | And do you think,I said,"do you think any girl would be justified in changing-- if she found-- if she found she loved somebody else?" |
56675 | And if he''s good, and true, and noble-- and he is-- what difference does it make to me who his father is, or what he does? 56675 And leave me, Helen?" |
56675 | And what after? |
56675 | And what do you say? 56675 And what is your majesty going to decide about Savannah-- and the royal yacht-- and Europe?" |
56675 | And what might that be? |
56675 | And who''s that with him? |
56675 | And why did n''t you tell me---- Oh, Gordon, did you feel you could n''t trust me? |
56675 | And you gave her up? |
56675 | And you got the clergyman? |
56675 | And you will, wo n''t you, dearest-- you''ll love my work for its own sake, wo n''t you? |
56675 | And your father is still living in Scotland? |
56675 | And your father? |
56675 | And your mother-- and Aunt Agnes? |
56675 | And, Helen,resumed my mother, by this time one or two steps down- stairs,"do n''t you think you''d better dress? |
56675 | Are n''t you ashamed of yourself? |
56675 | Are they very solemn? |
56675 | Are ye no''gaein''to sing? |
56675 | As I am now? |
56675 | Be you the minister? |
56675 | But are n''t those the same truths your father believes? |
56675 | But really, speaking seriously, what do you think we''d better do about it? |
56675 | But what do you intend to do with-- with the money, Gordon? |
56675 | But what? |
56675 | But where are we going? |
56675 | But you believe that, do n''t you, Gordon? |
56675 | But you will, wo n''t you? |
56675 | But you''ll get another call, Gordon-- and another church, wo n''t you? |
56675 | But, what are you going to do, my boy?--what kind of work, I mean? |
56675 | Ca n''t I say good- bye to Dorothy? |
56675 | Ca n''t do what? |
56675 | Can you see that steeple there? |
56675 | Certainly,he said, and I thought what a magnificent man he was;"yes, what else could I do? |
56675 | Come, speak; what are you doing here? |
56675 | Did he recover? |
56675 | Did he recover? |
56675 | Did n''t I tell you? |
56675 | Did n''t you hate her? |
56675 | Did she give you up for him? |
56675 | Did you enjoy the play, Miss Helen? |
56675 | Did you ever lose a child? |
56675 | Did you ever read such a parcel of lies, sir? |
56675 | Did you get him in, sir-- did you get my father in? |
56675 | Did you get the cream? |
56675 | Did you notice how gracefully he handed me to my seat? |
56675 | Div ye teach them the Catechism, when ye''re visitin''? |
56675 | Do n''t that beat the-- the Dutch? |
56675 | Do n''t you want a pilot, mate? |
56675 | Do you always attend Bethany, Tim? |
56675 | Do you know who that child is, sir? |
56675 | Do you mean that that-- about his father being a shepherd-- should make any difference to me? 56675 Do you sing?" |
56675 | Do you want a pilot, my friend? |
56675 | Do you want to know? |
56675 | Engaged for what? |
56675 | Gordon,I pleaded, as my eyes filled with tears,"do you mean to say you''d whip him?" |
56675 | Has Dinah got me buttoned right? |
56675 | Have you any idea what his views really are? |
56675 | Have you been long in our country, sir? |
56675 | Have you never been to the old world, Miss Helen? |
56675 | He did n''t ask you to-- to call him Gordon? |
56675 | He''ll write to us onyway, will he no''? |
56675 | Hear that, Helen? |
56675 | Helen Randall,he said solemnly,"will you come to me?" |
56675 | Helen,he began again,"I''m going away-- and you''ll forget all about me, wo n''t you, Helen?" |
56675 | Helen,he began huskily,"do you know what room this is, Helen?" |
56675 | How can I? |
56675 | How could you be? |
56675 | How could you ever hope to be, when you''re not fitted for that kind of work? 56675 How could you know?" |
56675 | How does your mother like him-- has she looked him over? |
56675 | How long is this cleric going to stay? |
56675 | How much are they worth? |
56675 | How? |
56675 | I cam''frae Scotland-- where else? |
56675 | I haven''t?--where''s the man that dares to say I have n''t? |
56675 | I knew you''d come back, Harold,he cried as he held the youth to his bosom;"oh, my son, I knew you''d come-- but what made you stay away so long? |
56675 | I suppose you know he can never come back here any more? |
56675 | I thought you did n''t believe in giving them their own way? |
56675 | I wunner will he ken me? |
56675 | I''m a what? |
56675 | In the attic? |
56675 | Is he married? |
56675 | Is it on the way? |
56675 | Is my wife growing alarmed about me too? |
56675 | Is n''t that sweet? |
56675 | Is n''t that true to life? |
56675 | Is she dying? |
56675 | Is that all? |
56675 | Is that his name? |
56675 | Is that so? |
56675 | Is that you, child? |
56675 | Is this the guidwife o''the hoose? |
56675 | It does n''t? |
56675 | It is n''t every girl gets a chance of a honeymoon on a yacht, is it, Henry? |
56675 | It''s a wonder he did n''t bring his collie with him, is n''t it? |
56675 | Let me see its light again,said Charlie, taking my hand and looking at my engagement ring;"it makes the whole night radiant, does n''t it?" |
56675 | Let us try,he said;"suppose we sing''Forever with the Lord''?" |
56675 | Look, your son''s trying to sneeze: is n''t it wonderful how soon they pick things up? |
56675 | Mean what, Helen? |
56675 | Mercy, no-- why should he? |
56675 | Mr. Giddens, child,she exclaimed, rising a little on the bed;"how on earth could he frighten you? |
56675 | Nice? |
56675 | No, sir, was n''t there only once,answered the boy;"but I learned a lot-- an''wo n''t you come, sir? |
56675 | No, what is it, Gordon? |
56675 | Not put him in the attic? |
56675 | Of what? |
56675 | Oh, Gordon, quick, what''s that? |
56675 | Oh, Gordon,I cried in protest,"you do n''t mean stealing, Gordon, stealing money-- you do n''t mean that?" |
56675 | Oh, Gordon,and I laughed;"how can you say that?" |
56675 | Oh, do n''t you know? |
56675 | Oh,I exclaimed, beginning to remember;"you mean those papers grandfather gave us?" |
56675 | On the hills? |
56675 | Owns what? |
56675 | Ring the bell-- where''s that boy?--are the servants all asleep? 56675 Say what?" |
56675 | Shall we tell him? |
56675 | So that''s why you wanted me to be so careful of my wedding dress? 56675 Somebody else is coming, is n''t he?" |
56675 | Tell him what? |
56675 | That''s all right,began my uncle,"that''s all right in its way, but----""What''s all right in its way?" |
56675 | That''s what I asked you for-- what makes you so white? |
56675 | The Covenanters, did you say? 56675 The long wharf,"repeated Gordon, turning to me,"where is that wharf? |
56675 | The same as what? |
56675 | The what? |
56675 | There''s music in that screech, is n''t there? |
56675 | They do n''t believe it down here, do they?--the white folks, I mean? |
56675 | They do sound something alike, do n''t they? 56675 They''re breakin'',"he cried despairingly;"the sheep''s scatterin''--they''re gaein''to wanner-- where''s my crook? |
56675 | They''re darkies,I whispered;"what can they be doing there at this hour of the night?" |
56675 | Think you''re what? 56675 Up- stairs right now?" |
56675 | We were so happy then, were n''t we, dear? |
56675 | Well, dear, did you pump him dry? |
56675 | Well, of course, I don''t-- but why should n''t he be? |
56675 | Well, what are you going to do about it? |
56675 | Well? |
56675 | Were they a religious sect? |
56675 | Were you addressing Sir Austin? |
56675 | What are they? |
56675 | What are you doing here? |
56675 | What can I do, my child? |
56675 | What d''ye say, Gus? |
56675 | What denomination is he? |
56675 | What did you say about your father? |
56675 | What did you tell him, Helen? |
56675 | What difference would-- would that make? |
56675 | What do you mean, Henry? |
56675 | What do you mean? |
56675 | What do you mean? |
56675 | What do you mean? |
56675 | What does it mean, I say? |
56675 | What else can I do? |
56675 | What factory was your daughter in? |
56675 | What for? |
56675 | What frightened you? |
56675 | What gale, mate? |
56675 | What have you been up to now? 56675 What hotel, Frank?" |
56675 | What indeed? |
56675 | What is it, Helen? |
56675 | What kind of a cove is this parson? |
56675 | What makes you say that, Gordon? |
56675 | What makes you say that, my son? |
56675 | What makes you say that? |
56675 | What on earth''s that? |
56675 | What other? |
56675 | What say, sir? 56675 What screech?" |
56675 | What shall I sing, father? |
56675 | What things? |
56675 | What was, dear? |
56675 | What will you do with them? |
56675 | What you said a moment ago-- about a last look-- why the last? |
56675 | What''s that got to do with niggers? |
56675 | What''s that you say? |
56675 | What''s that, father? 56675 What''s that, uncle?" |
56675 | What''s that? |
56675 | What''s the matter with your daughter? |
56675 | What''s the matter? 56675 What''s this you accuse me of?" |
56675 | What''s yon black thing hangin''there? |
56675 | What''s your name, my boy? |
56675 | What''s your say on the subject, Uncle Henry? |
56675 | What, darling? |
56675 | What, dearest? |
56675 | What? |
56675 | What? |
56675 | What? |
56675 | What? |
56675 | When is Mr. Giddens going to call again? |
56675 | When you remember he''s a stranger; and then, your mother and I and----"Is that all? |
56675 | When? |
56675 | Where are those niggers anyhow? |
56675 | Where are you going now? |
56675 | Where are you off to, Helen? |
56675 | Where are you taking those cushions to? |
56675 | Where did you come from, father? |
56675 | Where do you suppose he rowed them to? |
56675 | Where does this man Simkins live? |
56675 | Where shall we go, Gordon? |
56675 | Where to take me? |
56675 | Where will we go to live? |
56675 | Where''s Moses? |
56675 | Where''s Moses? |
56675 | Where''s he going to stay? |
56675 | Where? |
56675 | Where? |
56675 | Where? |
56675 | Where? |
56675 | Who is that---- fool? |
56675 | Who? |
56675 | Who? |
56675 | Whose happiness do you mean? |
56675 | Why not row down? |
56675 | Why should n''t he? |
56675 | Why so long? |
56675 | Why would you like to be religious? |
56675 | Why, dearest, why? 56675 Why, what kind of life do you think I''m living?" |
56675 | Why? 56675 Why?" |
56675 | Why? |
56675 | Why? |
56675 | Why? |
56675 | Why? |
56675 | Why? |
56675 | Why? |
56675 | Why? |
56675 | Will you go to him-- some day, I mean? |
56675 | Would you have loved_ her_ always? |
56675 | Would you like them, Jennie? |
56675 | Wull ye say it, Gordon? |
56675 | Ye have n''t got another of them, have ye, sir? |
56675 | Yes, are you asleep? |
56675 | Yes, of course-- why? |
56675 | Yes, yes, baby,he kept saying as he searched;"yes, father''ll get him his''ittle bottle; he''s hungy, is he, the tootsy wootsy? |
56675 | Yes,I answered;"why?" |
56675 | Yes,said Gordon,"I came as soon as I got your message; and what can I do for you?" |
56675 | You agreed, sir? |
56675 | You all are going back by New York, you said? |
56675 | You and Mr. Giddens will be in the parlour, wo n''t you? |
56675 | You do n''t suspect anything wrong, do you? |
56675 | You love him, do n''t you, dear? |
56675 | You mean Seybold the brewer, do n''t you? |
56675 | You mean in the way of investment, sir? |
56675 | You seem so happy, Gordon,I said;"what makes it?" |
56675 | You think I ca n''t write, do n''t you? |
56675 | You were speaking about your father, were you not? |
56675 | You wouldn''t?--why would n''t you? |
56675 | You''ll comfort mother, and Martha, wo n''t you-- and the children-- when I''m gone? 56675 You''ll find the life here very different, wo n''t you, sir?" |
56675 | You''ll wait here, will you, ma''am? |
56675 | You''re an idolater, Helen, are n''t you? |
56675 | You''re expecting a visitor to- morrow, are n''t you? |
56675 | You''ve been very kind in giving me your confidence, have n''t you, Miss Helen? |
56675 | Your elder did n''t turn up? |
56675 | Your parents are very religious people, I suppose? |
56675 | A private yacht?" |
56675 | An''I want an answer straight-- no tackin''or manoeuvrin''--d''ye think I''m dyin'', Cap''n?" |
56675 | And are we going there right away?" |
56675 | And are your children-- is the little girl with him now?" |
56675 | And do you know you''re taking up with a stranger, against your uncle?" |
56675 | And so Charlie has quite made up his mind that----""What''s the_ Sea- Nymph_?" |
56675 | And tell him the world is wide-- you can remember that, ca n''t you, Helen?" |
56675 | And you will be, wo n''t you-- you are, are n''t you, my darling? |
56675 | And you''ll often do it, wo n''t you?" |
56675 | Andrew''s?" |
56675 | Are thae folk a''Presbyterians, Gordon?" |
56675 | Are you a doctor, sir?" |
56675 | Are you sick?" |
56675 | Besides, you ca n''t help admiring his pluck, can you, now?" |
56675 | Bradwin?" |
56675 | Bradwin?" |
56675 | But God gave them to us, did n''t He, Helen?" |
56675 | But he''ll mebbe be busy? |
56675 | But that does n''t please you much, does it, dear?" |
56675 | But what''s the use of going on with this? |
56675 | Div ye hear me, Gordon?" |
56675 | Do n''t you know what I mean, Helen?" |
56675 | Do n''t you think so, my darling?" |
56675 | Do n''t you want me to take him your card?" |
56675 | Do n''t, Gordon-- won''t you do this for me, this, that I''m going to ask?" |
56675 | Do what?" |
56675 | Do you do it too, ma''am?" |
56675 | Do you know, I believe it''s getting chilly-- shall we go home?" |
56675 | Do you know,"and the strong voice was choked with tears again,"do you know, Helen, what I wonder every night before I go to sleep?" |
56675 | Do you mean that, mother?" |
56675 | Do you think we''ll ever see her again?" |
56675 | Do you, Gordon?" |
56675 | Doubtless Simkins had beguiled them with the prospect of a cruise-- and what then? |
56675 | For you love me, my own,"and his voice had the tenderest strain that ever filled woman''s heart with rapture;"do n''t you, Helen?" |
56675 | For you''ll forgive me, wo n''t you, when I say you have n''t found it yet? |
56675 | Giddens?" |
56675 | Has he everything in order?--his will, I mean, and everything like that, you know?" |
56675 | Has your husband had any great shock?--or has he been carrying any specially heavy burden, probably for months?" |
56675 | Have you any idea where we could get a lantern?" |
56675 | How could His love escape love''s inevitable pain, any more than ours? |
56675 | How old is he?" |
56675 | I asked seriously;"always alone together-- before you were married, I mean?" |
56675 | I cried eagerly--"the way your father does?" |
56675 | I echoed,"related to whom?" |
56675 | I echoed;"how long do you think it is since Gettysburg was fought, Sir Austin?" |
56675 | I gasped, and I felt the colour leave my cheek;"uncle''s what?--he''s where?" |
56675 | I mean, do you have singing at family worship? |
56675 | I urged,"that-- what I said? |
56675 | III_ THE BRIDGE THAT LAY BETWEEN_"Do you think we''re a star chamber?" |
56675 | If God be for us who can be against us? |
56675 | Is he ben the hoose?" |
56675 | Is n''t it all like a lovely fairy tale? |
56675 | Is n''t it wonderful?" |
56675 | Is n''t that true to life, eh?" |
56675 | Is n''t that why, Helen-- isn''t it Dorothy and Harold?" |
56675 | Is the bairn no''hame the nicht?" |
56675 | Is there some o''his congregation wi''him?" |
56675 | Is this bishop from the country?" |
56675 | It seems he has thirteen children, and one got lost-- you''d think he had enough left, would n''t you? |
56675 | It''ll mak''a cozy pickle o''siller for me, wull it no'', Gordon?" |
56675 | Laird?" |
56675 | Laird?" |
56675 | Laird?" |
56675 | Laird?" |
56675 | Laird?" |
56675 | Laird?" |
56675 | Laird?" |
56675 | Laird?" |
56675 | Listen,"he suddenly cried, as we heard a footfall on the porch, succeeded by a gentle knock at the door,"what''s that? |
56675 | Lundy?" |
56675 | Moreover, was he not a minister-- and what are they for if not to be confided in? |
56675 | Mr. Giddens ought to be here right soon now, should n''t he? |
56675 | Now do n''t you think that''s a good sign?" |
56675 | Oh, my darling,"he suddenly broke out, like one owning at last to a long- hidden pain,"do you think I''ve been blind to it all? |
56675 | Or what else could she do?" |
56675 | Our cup of happiness would be full, would n''t it, dear, if both were only here?" |
56675 | Surely he does n''t think I''m one of those old vipers that carries things till death?" |
56675 | That''s the next best thing to getting a proposal yourself, is n''t it, mother?" |
56675 | They''re quite a study, are n''t they?" |
56675 | Think who''s what?" |
56675 | Well, he invested his hundred sovereigns, and that was the end of grandfather''s financial career-- but have I not told all about this already? |
56675 | Wha ever heard tell o''freens leavin''the manse wi''oot a word o''prayer? |
56675 | What do folks get engaged for? |
56675 | What does any lover want, except to get married? |
56675 | What happened to the elder?" |
56675 | What makes this room so sacred to you?" |
56675 | What''s that, if it is n''t one- sided, sir?" |
56675 | What''s the matter anyway?" |
56675 | What''s your opinion of your Gordon Laird-- and his nigger friends?" |
56675 | Whaur''s the bairns?" |
56675 | When I love him?" |
56675 | When does his train arrive, sir?" |
56675 | When is he going to speak to me about it, Helen?" |
56675 | Where are ye, Yarrow? |
56675 | Who were they?" |
56675 | Why did I not realize that the sterner days were coming when those sweet features were to be buffeted by sorrow and assailed by sin? |
56675 | Why do you say that?" |
56675 | Why the worst of it?" |
56675 | Will you?" |
56675 | Wull ye no''bid me tell her that, my laddie?" |
56675 | XVI_ A KNIGHTLY GUEST_"Do you suppose we could afford a carriage for the Ashtons''dinner?" |
56675 | Ye ken wha the prophet''s referrin''to, my son?" |
56675 | You certainly did get out of the way in a hurry-- you''ve been up to the attic yourself, have n''t you, now?" |
56675 | You do, do n''t you, Gordon?" |
56675 | You love him, do n''t you, Helen?" |
56675 | You see, your life has been a very different one from mine, has n''t it?" |
56675 | You understand, sir?" |
56675 | You''ll leave the book, sir?" |
56675 | You''ll promise me, wo n''t you, Helen?" |
56675 | and Gordon''s face was full of amazement;"in where?--where do you want me to get your father in?--you mean the hospital, do you, my boy?" |
56675 | and my mother''s tone was louder--"anybody trying to break in?" |
56675 | cried the stranger,"but ye''re late wi''yir dinner; ha''e ye no''had onythin''sin''breakfast?" |
56675 | exclaimed my mother, scornful of merriment at such an hour;"why should n''t we put him there-- where would you have him put?" |
56675 | he asked, in a strong Scottish voice;"micht ye be Gordon''s wife?" |
56675 | he whispered to Gordon as the tension came near its height;"ever see anything like that before? |
56675 | his voice swelling for a moment--"an''you''re sure ye marked the place?" |
56675 | my aunt echoed in mock gravity;"is that all he has on?" |
56675 | my uncle remarked;"but I suppose you hear a great deal, even in Scotland, of what''s called the''Nigger problem,''do n''t you?" |
56675 | said I,"did you tell him who it was took them to his room?" |
56675 | uncle began in a rather fiery tone;"it does n''t, does n''t it? |
56675 | why did I not value more those days of the dear childish face, as I saw it then? |
