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

56675When you remember he''s a stranger; and then, your mother and I and----"Is that all?
56675When?
56675Where are those niggers anyhow?
56675Where are you going now?
56675Where are you off to, Helen?
56675Where are you taking those cushions to?
56675Where did you come from, father?
56675Where do you suppose he rowed them to?
56675Where does this man Simkins live?
56675Where shall we go, Gordon?
56675Where to take me?
56675Where will we go to live?

56675Who?
56675Who?
56675Whose happiness do you mean?
56675Why not row down?
56675Why should n''t he?
56675Why so long?
56675Why would you like to be religious?
56675Why, dearest, why? 56675 Why, what kind of life do you think I''m living?"
56675Why? 56675 Why?"
56675Why?
56675Why?
56675Why?
56675Why?
56675Why?
56675Why?
56675Why?
56675Will you go to him-- some day, I mean?
56675Would you have loved_ her_ always?
56675Would you like them, Jennie?
56675Wull ye say it, Gordon?
56675Ye have n''t got another of them, have ye, sir?
56675Yes, are you asleep?
56675Yes, of course-- why?
56675Yes, yes, baby,he kept saying as he searched;"yes, father''ll get him his''ittle bottle; he''s hungy, is he, the tootsy wootsy?
56675Yes,I answered;"why?"
56675Yes,said Gordon,"I came as soon as I got your message; and what can I do for you?"
56675You agreed, sir?
56675You all are going back by New York, you said?
56675You and Mr. Giddens will be in the parlour, wo n''t you?
56675You do n''t suspect anything wrong, do you?
56675You love him, do n''t you, dear?
56675You mean Seybold the brewer, do n''t you?
56675You mean in the way of investment, sir?
56675You seem so happy, Gordon,I said;"what makes it?"
56675You think I ca n''t write, do n''t you?
56675You were speaking about your father, were you not?
56675You wouldn''t?--why would n''t you?
56675You''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?"
56675You''ll wait here, will you, ma''am?
56675You''re an idolater, Helen, are n''t you?
56675You''re expecting a visitor to- morrow, are n''t you?
56675You''ve been very kind in giving me your confidence, have n''t you, Miss Helen?
56675Your elder did n''t turn up?
56675Your parents are very religious people, I suppose?
56675A private yacht?"
56675An''I want an answer straight-- no tackin''or manoeuvrin''--d''ye think I''m dyin'', Cap''n?"
56675And are we going there right away?"
56675And are your children-- is the little girl with him now?"
56675And do you know you''re taking up with a stranger, against your uncle?"
56675And so Charlie has quite made up his mind that----""What''s the_ Sea- Nymph_?"
56675And tell him the world is wide-- you can remember that, ca n''t you, Helen?"
56675And you will be, wo n''t you-- you are, are n''t you, my darling?
56675And you''ll often do it, wo n''t you?"
56675Andrew''s?"
56675Are thae folk a''Presbyterians, Gordon?"
56675Are you a doctor, sir?"
56675Are you sick?"
56675Besides, you ca n''t help admiring his pluck, can you, now?"
56675Bradwin?"
56675Bradwin?"
56675But God gave them to us, did n''t He, Helen?"
56675But he''ll mebbe be busy?
56675But that does n''t please you much, does it, dear?"
56675But what''s the use of going on with this?
56675Div ye hear me, Gordon?"
56675Do n''t you know what I mean, Helen?"
56675Do n''t you think so, my darling?"
56675Do n''t you want me to take him your card?"
56675Do n''t, Gordon-- won''t you do this for me, this, that I''m going to ask?"
56675Do what?"
56675Do you do it too, ma''am?"
56675Do you know, I believe it''s getting chilly-- shall we go home?"
56675Do 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?"
56675Do you mean that, mother?"
56675Do you think we''ll ever see her again?"
56675Do you, Gordon?"
56675Doubtless Simkins had beguiled them with the prospect of a cruise-- and what then?
56675For 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?"
56675For you''ll forgive me, wo n''t you, when I say you have n''t found it yet?
56675Giddens?"
56675Has he everything in order?--his will, I mean, and everything like that, you know?"
56675Has your husband had any great shock?--or has he been carrying any specially heavy burden, probably for months?"
56675Have you any idea where we could get a lantern?"
56675How could His love escape love''s inevitable pain, any more than ours?
56675How old is he?"
56675I asked seriously;"always alone together-- before you were married, I mean?"
56675I cried eagerly--"the way your father does?"
56675I echoed,"related to whom?"
56675I echoed;"how long do you think it is since Gettysburg was fought, Sir Austin?"
56675I gasped, and I felt the colour leave my cheek;"uncle''s what?--he''s where?"
56675I mean, do you have singing at family worship?
56675I urged,"that-- what I said?
56675III_ THE BRIDGE THAT LAY BETWEEN_"Do you think we''re a star chamber?"
56675If God be for us who can be against us?
56675Is he ben the hoose?"
56675Is n''t it all like a lovely fairy tale?
56675Is n''t it wonderful?"
56675Is n''t that true to life, eh?"
56675Is n''t that why, Helen-- isn''t it Dorothy and Harold?"
56675Is the bairn no''hame the nicht?"
56675Is there some o''his congregation wi''him?"
56675Is this bishop from the country?"
56675It seems he has thirteen children, and one got lost-- you''d think he had enough left, would n''t you?
56675It''ll mak''a cozy pickle o''siller for me, wull it no'', Gordon?"
56675Laird?"
56675Laird?"
56675Laird?"
56675Laird?"
56675Laird?"
56675Laird?"
56675Laird?"
56675Laird?"
56675Listen,"he suddenly cried, as we heard a footfall on the porch, succeeded by a gentle knock at the door,"what''s that?
56675Lundy?"
56675Moreover, was he not a minister-- and what are they for if not to be confided in?
56675Mr. Giddens ought to be here right soon now, should n''t he?
56675Now do n''t you think that''s a good sign?"
56675Oh, 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?
56675Or what else could she do?"
56675Our cup of happiness would be full, would n''t it, dear, if both were only here?"
56675Surely he does n''t think I''m one of those old vipers that carries things till death?"
56675That''s the next best thing to getting a proposal yourself, is n''t it, mother?"
56675They''re quite a study, are n''t they?"
56675Think who''s what?"
56675Well, he invested his hundred sovereigns, and that was the end of grandfather''s financial career-- but have I not told all about this already?
56675Wha ever heard tell o''freens leavin''the manse wi''oot a word o''prayer?
56675What do folks get engaged for?
56675What does any lover want, except to get married?
56675What happened to the elder?"
56675What makes this room so sacred to you?"
56675What''s that, if it is n''t one- sided, sir?"
56675What''s the matter anyway?"
56675What''s your opinion of your Gordon Laird-- and his nigger friends?"
56675Whaur''s the bairns?"
56675When I love him?"
56675When does his train arrive, sir?"
56675When is he going to speak to me about it, Helen?"
56675Where are ye, Yarrow?
56675Who were they?"
56675Why did I not realize that the sterner days were coming when those sweet features were to be buffeted by sorrow and assailed by sin?
56675Why do you say that?"
56675Why the worst of it?"
56675Will you?"
56675Wull ye no''bid me tell her that, my laddie?"
56675XVI_ A KNIGHTLY GUEST_"Do you suppose we could afford a carriage for the Ashtons''dinner?"
56675Ye ken wha the prophet''s referrin''to, my son?"
56675You certainly did get out of the way in a hurry-- you''ve been up to the attic yourself, have n''t you, now?"
56675You do, do n''t you, Gordon?"
56675You love him, do n''t you, Helen?"
56675You see, your life has been a very different one from mine, has n''t it?"
56675You understand, sir?"
56675You''ll leave the book, sir?"
56675You''ll promise me, wo n''t you, Helen?"
56675and 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?"
56675and my mother''s tone was louder--"anybody trying to break in?"
56675cried the stranger,"but ye''re late wi''yir dinner; ha''e ye no''had onythin''sin''breakfast?"
56675exclaimed my mother, scornful of merriment at such an hour;"why should n''t we put him there-- where would you have him put?"
56675he asked, in a strong Scottish voice;"micht ye be Gordon''s wife?"
56675he whispered to Gordon as the tension came near its height;"ever see anything like that before?
56675his voice swelling for a moment--"an''you''re sure ye marked the place?"
56675my aunt echoed in mock gravity;"is that all he has on?"
56675my uncle remarked;"but I suppose you hear a great deal, even in Scotland, of what''s called the''Nigger problem,''do n''t you?"
56675said I,"did you tell him who it was took them to his room?"
56675uncle began in a rather fiery tone;"it does n''t, does n''t it?
56675why did I not value more those days of the dear childish face, as I saw it then?
