12882 | What became of your bloodhounds, Lord Randal, my son? 12882 What became of your bloodhounds, my handsome young man?" |
12882 | What doth this mean,George Wharton said,"To strike in such unmanly sort? |
12882 | What gars ye break the tree? 12882 What gat ye to your dinner, Lord Randal, my son?. |
12882 | What gat ye to your dinner, my handsome young man? |
12882 | What news, what news, ye gray- headed carle,What news bring ye to me?" |
12882 | What''s fairer than the lilye flowerOn this wee know[B] that grows?" |
12882 | What''s paler than the prymrose wan? 12882 What''s redder than the rose? |
12882 | What''s that thou says, thou limmer loun? 12882 Where gat ye your dinner, Lord Randal, my son? |
12882 | Where gat ye your dinner, my handsome young man? |
12882 | Where hae ye been, now, ladye fair,Where hae ye been sae late?" |
12882 | Why pu''ye the rose, Janet,Within this garden grene,"And a''to kill the bonny babe,"That we got us between?" |
12882 | Ye lied, ye lied, my very bonny may,Sae loud as I hear you lie;"For dinna ye mind that misty night"I was i''the bought wi''thee? |
12882 | You are both stark and stoor;Would you defile the king''s own bed,"And make his queen a whore? |
12882 | --"But, nevertheless, now, Erl Richard,"Ye will bide in ray bower a''night?" |
12882 | And ay she sat in her mother''s bower door, And ay she made her mane,"Oh whether should I gang to the Broomfield hill,"Or should I stay at hame? |
12882 | And out then spake her White Lilly;"My sister, we''ll be gane:"Why suld we stay in Barnisdale,"To mourn our hour within?" |
12882 | And, as he sate at meat, he askyd a monke of the house, how moche a lofe was worth, that was before hym sete at the table? |
12882 | Art born of gentle blood and pure descent? |
12882 | As I was walking all alane, I heard twa corbies making a mane; The tane unto the t''other say,"Where sall we gang and dine to- day?" |
12882 | Bastard or bastinadoed? |
12882 | But think na ye my heart was sair, When I laid the moul on his yellow hair? |
12882 | Claverhouse said to his wife,"What thinkest thou of thy husband now, woman?" |
12882 | General Dalyell held to the hill, Asking at them what was their will; And who gave them this protestation, To rise in arms against the nation? |
12882 | George Wharton cry''d,"Art thou a living man, tell me? |
12882 | Hast thou clothed the naked? |
12882 | Hast thou consoled the orphan? |
12882 | He came in, and said,"And has this gentleman( designed by his name) given poor Sandie, and thir poor things, such a fright? |
12882 | He said twice over,"What do I mean? |
12882 | Henry the Great casually asked him, how he lost his eye? |
12882 | In anger he went to the queen, Who fell upon her knee; He said,"You false, unchaste woman,"What''s this you''ve done to me?" |
12882 | Is thy pedigree As long, as wide as mine? |
12882 | Isabel Alison, executed at Edinburgh, 26th January, 1681, was interrogated, before the privy council, if she conversed with David Hackston? |
12882 | O think na ye my heart was wae, When I turn''d about, away to gae? |
12882 | Or wha wad, wish a lealer love Than Brown Adam the smith? |
12882 | Out then spak her eldest brother,"O how shall we her ken?" |
12882 | Out up then spake a bonny bird, Sat high upon a tree,-- How could you kill that noble lord? |
12882 | Says--"Why pu''ye the rose, Janet? |
12882 | She said,"If ye were permitted, I doubt not but your cruelty would go that length; but how will ye make answer for this morning''s work?" |
12882 | She saw the flames ascending high, The tears blinded her e''e:"Where is the worthy knight,"she said,"Who is to fight for me?" |
12882 | She set the cog[A] upon her head, An''she''s gane singing hame--"O where hae ye been, my ae daughter? |
12882 | The king said unto Rodingham,"What news have you to me?" |
12882 | The king, supposing the accident the consequence of a duel, immediately enquired,"Does the man yet live?" |
12882 | Then out bespake the king again,--"My boy, now tell to me,"Who dwells into yon bigly bour,"Beneath yon green aik tree?" |
12882 | Then saft she smiled, and said to him,"O what ill hae I done?" |
12882 | Then they''ve ta''en up the comely corpse, And laid it on the ground--"O wha has killed our ae sister,"And how can he be found? |
12882 | Then up and spak the popinjay, That sat upon the tree--"What hae ye done wi''Erl Richard? |
12882 | Then up and spake him, Brown Robin,"And what needs this?" |
12882 | Then up and spake the king himsell, When he saw the deadly wound--"O wha has slain my right- hand man,"That held my hawk and hound?" |
12882 | Then up and spake the popinjay, Says--"What needs a''this din? |
12882 | Then up bespak her eldest brother,"O see na ye what I see?" |
12882 | They asked me, when saw ye John Balfour( Burly), that pious youth? |
12882 | They asked, if the killing of the bishop of St Andrews was a pious act? |
12882 | They asked, when? |
12882 | Thinks thou still fit thus for to treat Thy captive cruelly? |
12882 | Were none of all thy lineage hang''d, or cuckold? |
12882 | When ended, John Muirhead enquired what he meant by Brown''s blood? |
12882 | When she came before the king, She knelit lowly on her knee--"O what''s the matter, may Margaret? |
12882 | Which the prince overhearing,''Why, Richard,''says he,''do you think you may practise here your old tricks upon the borders?'' |
12882 | Who fought with all these arms at once? |
12882 | Why the devil do ye na march? |
12882 | do you not see them?" |
12882 | he says,"Or are ye waking presentlie? |
12882 | quo''he;"Or what can woman do for you,"That canna be done by me?" |
12882 | said Christie Graeme,"But where sae lang frae hame were ye?" |
12882 | sir knight, sestow this? |
14421 | And art thou true, and still unmarried? 14421 Come, now tell me, Clarabella, How that wondrous thing befell, Why you took that sorry fellow, Leaving me who loved you well? |
14421 | Did I wail to the mune, and tear my hair, And weep o''er his bodie? 14421 He is their prisoner,"saidst thou?" |
14421 | I was acquitted; but what more had I with life to do? 14421 Knowest thou him?" |
14421 | Than Olive who more beautiful In all that nature could bestow? 14421 Well, why did I, who knew of Cupid, Display so much stupid- ity As not to know-- the thing was lucid-- From Cupid comes Cupid- ity?" |
14421 | What makes ye laugh? |
14421 | What meaneth the wench? |
14421 | Who''s he, who''s he? |
14421 | Why mounts not Kate the dais seat? |
14421 | A woman''s eye is aye quick to see The love of a lover decay: And why from the trusty trysting tree Does Robin now stay away? |
14421 | And as she went on to Monifieth, She met an auld man with the wind in his teeth--"Are you the witch o''Bonnie Dundee?" |
14421 | And is it true my ears have carried, Or is it a''a lying dream?" |
14421 | And is not youth, thought I, a vulgar thing, When lording over WISDOM''S ancient reign? |
14421 | And is thy bodie not a seim? |
14421 | And now within the ballion court There sits Sir Ravensbeard:"Who shall me say what popinjay Hath earned this proud reward?" |
14421 | And there is a boat comes from the pier, And it comes and comes still nigher and nigher--"What is the ship that is burning there?" |
14421 | And who is she, this fair ladye, To whom our land is strange? |
14421 | And why did these three sisters all Hate their kind sister so sair? |
14421 | And why was it that Ballogie''s dame Was so fond of her Lillyfair? |
14421 | Burde Annie waved her lily hand, And threw a kiss a- down-- For Hudibras or Gallachan Was meant the priceless boon? |
14421 | But do I, To hide my sin, place''t on the mother''s heart? |
14421 | But is not this an old, old dream-- Some nightmare of the brain? |
14421 | But wad ye no suffer this, and ten times mair for liberty, and for the glory and honour of auld Scotland? |
14421 | But what is a king but his word mair than a man? |
14421 | But what of his wife? |
14421 | But where fair ladies are to view, Who may declare what knight may do, By noble emprise fired? |
14421 | By whom our host is slain?" |
14421 | Can any of you tell us what is_ honour? |
14421 | Can it extinguish nature-- soothe its feelings-- Or make the small still voice of conscience dumb? |
14421 | Demons wildly sporting, God''s beautiful distorting, Or His own hand extorting Sin- born penalties? |
14421 | Do they still talk of death as of a bridal, While we protract the ceremony? |
14421 | Do ye mind o''that, sir? |
14421 | Do ye mind o''that? |
14421 | Do you think This looks as Edward meant to keep his faith? |
14421 | Do you think there''s naebody finds the grund o''their stamachs but yersels? |
14421 | Faith, how shall I bind thee? |
14421 | For what is hunger, pain, or piercing wind, To the eternal midnight of the mind? |
14421 | For what is youth''s first love to wedded joy? |
14421 | Give him up too-- yield him into your power? |
14421 | He pointed to yon castle ha'', And all its holts so green and fair; And would not she, poor Ailie Faa, Move some day as a mistress there? |
14421 | I daresay, townsmen, ye''ve no forgot it? |
14421 | I say, old greybeard, hast thou found an answer? |
14421 | I started forth and grasped her hand--''Are we pursued?'' |
14421 | I will be their hostage, For Scotland''s sake, and for my father''s honour--_ Sir Alex_.--My boy, my boy, and shall I lose you thus? |
14421 | If Clementine is yet forgot, Is the relief to her a gain? |
14421 | If Superstition has her dreams, Proud reason has her mystic day; And who shall harmonize the themes In this world''s dark and dreary way? |
14421 | Is he a lover? |
14421 | Knowest thou the measure of a mother''s love? |
14421 | Love, where shall I find thee? |
14421 | Nay, would it wake and bring before him One only of her envied charms? |
14421 | Now, what say ye to that, sir? |
14421 | Onward she moved: her dreamy, listless eye Had leant upon a fragrant wild- rose bed, And, glancing farther, what does she descry? |
14421 | Or read, upon the fair moon''s smiling brow The words we''ve uttered-- those we utter now? |
14421 | Or shall I call thee traitor? |
14421 | Or what the transports of the ardent boy To the fond husband''s bliss, which, day by day, Lights up his spirit with affection''s ray? |
14421 | Or, would you have them live, that no man''s daughter Would stoop so low as call your sons her husband? |
14421 | Round and round, in eddying whirl, Who shall save the perishing girl? |
14421 | Sent they no other answer? |
14421 | Sir Hubert cried out, in an envious vein,"Who is he that will vouch for the lurdan loon? |
14421 | So now, old Governor, my master''s answer? |
14421 | Such cheeks so pale, and lips like clay; What ails maid Lilian?" |
14421 | Tell me, Percy; Gives he his honour as a man or king? |
14421 | Than Olive who more dutiful When first she pledged that holy vow? |
14421 | The words struck on a sceptic''s ear: Would woman''s curse his pleasure stay? |
14421 | The world''s laugh it jeers me, Their looks they seem to fear me, I hear them whisper near me,"Old man, why linger here?" |
14421 | Think ye she yearns not for her own heart''s blood? |
14421 | This mocking, cruel invention-- What the deep intention? |
14421 | Thou art a father-- am not I a mother? |
14421 | Thou wouldst not draw thy sword upon a friend? |
14421 | Though golden nobles might not him wile, Was there not something more benign? |
14421 | Truth, who has defined thee? |
14421 | V. And who is he this letter reads With tears the words atween? |
14421 | Was he of flesh and blood and bone? |
14421 | Was not for him a maiden''s smile? |
14421 | Was not that maiden Tomasine? |
14421 | What didst thou, On finishing thy_ funeral service_, whisper In my Lord Percy''s ear? |
14421 | What do you think o''your orator now, friends? |
14421 | What is she now, by sin entoiled? |
14421 | What may avail the brilliancy of spring If autumn yields no hoards of garnered grain? |
14421 | What now to him those golden pieces That he so fastly now could earn? |
14421 | What of them? |
14421 | What said their governor? |
14421 | What say these haughty burghers to our clemency? |
14421 | What say ye to that? |
14421 | What sayest thou, Henry? |
14421 | What surety does cruel Edward give, That, keeping faith, he will restore my sons Back to my arms in safety? |
14421 | What then? |
14421 | What though Sir Walter seeks her bower, And pleads his suit on bended knee With all a lover''s magic power, That she his lady- love shall be? |
14421 | What though ten years away had stolen? |
14421 | Where is his body? |
14421 | Where is your comrade?--speak-- where is my son? |
14421 | Where was the caution ye but preached this morn, That ye should madly break our little band, And rush on certain ruin? |
14421 | While madly we the false pursue, Who shall decide that he is sane? |
14421 | Who shall give replies? |
14421 | Who shall know If she with reason,_ they_ without, Which have the greater load of woe? |
14421 | Why all alone, to all unknown, Within this city''s range? |
14421 | Why this wild contention? |
14421 | Would ye your sons-- your_ noble_ sons-- met this, Eather than die for Scotland? |
14421 | Would you behold them hooted, hissed at, Oft, as they crossed the street, by every urchin? |
14421 | _ Edward_.--And was this all? |
14421 | _ Edward_.--How fares it with the son, our silent prisoner? |
14421 | _ Edward_.--How fares it with these stubborn rebels now? |
14421 | _ Elliot_.--I whisper, lady? |
14421 | _ Friar_.--Refuse ye, then, your prisoners their confessor? |
14421 | _ Friar_.--Would ye stretch forth your hand''gainst Heaven''s anointed? |
14421 | _ Guard_.--Who would pass here? |
14421 | _ Henry_.--Why stand ye musing there? |
14421 | _ Percy_.--''Tis monstrous generous of our friendly Scot; And what return expects he for his service? |
14421 | _ Percy_.--Yes,''tis of your sons I''d speak!-- They live-- they''re well!--can you be calm to hear me? |
14421 | _ Provost Ramsay_.--Wad ye no tak me as a substitute, Lord Percy? |
14421 | _ Richard_.--Where is my brother? |
14421 | _ Sir Alex_.--And wilt thou pledge thine? |
14421 | _ Sir Alex_.--Is this thy counsel in the hour of peril, Milk- hearted man? |
14421 | _ Sir Alex_.--Not say he died? |
14421 | _ Sir Alex_.--Oh, what is honour to a father''s heart? |
14421 | _ Sir Alex_.--What would you have? |
14421 | _ Sir Alex_.--Where is my poor boy''s body? |
14421 | are we thus betrayed? |
14421 | but where am I to get it? |
14421 | is he dead, my good, my gallant boy? |
14421 | list, what do I hear? |
14421 | oh, where? |
14421 | show me-- where? |
14421 | tell me how a power divine, That tames the creatures wild, Whose touch benign makes all men kin, Could slay sweet Emergilde? |
14421 | tell me how he fell? |
14421 | the father cried, With a fire- flaught in his eye,"What other knight would''st thou invite Sir Bullstrode to defy? |
14421 | what do I hear? |
14421 | what is it that you wish? |
14421 | what now? |
14421 | what of them, Lord Percy? |
14421 | what-- what of my sons? |
14421 | will fathers fight against their sons?-- Sons''gainst their fathers?--brethren with each other? |
14421 | would wealth restore him His long- lost Marjory to his arms? |
14421 | would ye have them live, that every slave, In banquet or in battle, might exclaim,"For you, ye hinds, your father sold his country?" |
14416 | ''Where are ye gaun, ye mason lads, Wi''a''your ladders, lang and hie?'' 14416 ''Why, what do you know about him?'' |
14416 | A widow? |
14416 | An''ye did that, an''ye hae nae thocht o''repentance? |
14416 | And was that in Nithsdale? |
14416 | And what might your name be? |
14416 | Ay? 14416 Ay?" |
14416 | Bitten by a dog? |
14416 | Bogles,quoth he,"what''s a bogle? |
14416 | Dared? |
14416 | Did the officer think it necessary to disturb Stokoe, who was really a very honest, douce lad? 14416 Do you not remember? |
14416 | Do? |
14416 | Donald M''Donald? 14416 Donald? |
14416 | Have ye not such a thing as a drop of spirits in the house? |
14416 | Have you no pity-- no pity? 14416 His lordship i''the inn? |
14416 | How dared you,she imperiously demanded,"undertake an enterprise so desperate and presumptuous?" |
14416 | How do you live in this outlandish spot all the year round, then, mistress? |
14416 | Is it so? |
14416 | It was my dog that bit him? 14416 None o''ye got anything to say? |
14416 | Now, what''s broucht ye to this, Gilnockie? |
14416 | Preesoner?--_Preesoner_? 14416 Touching the prisoners,"said he,"what have you done with them?" |
14416 | Veesitors? |
14416 | Wad ye sell? |
14416 | Wad ye sell? |
14416 | Wh- a- at? |
14416 | What d''ye think o''that? |
14416 | What is''t, my bairn? 14416 What micht they be like?" |
14416 | What say ye, Jamie? |
14416 | What the de''il''s that? 14416 What the deuce ails you? |
14416 | What think ye o''that for a lock? |
14416 | What was yon cry oot on the hill? 14416 When did he die?" |
14416 | Where be''st gangin''wi''the nowt? |
14416 | Where do you ride to- day? |
14416 | Why are you so severe on the character of John Knox? |
14416 | Will he come? |
14416 | Ye hae gotten back, my lord? 14416 Ye''re loaded, are ye, Parcy?" |
14416 | A gentleman to see_ her_? |
14416 | After all, is there not generally a something lovable in the man who poaches purely for_ sport''s_ sake? |
14416 | Am I to get that there money you owes me, or am I not? |
14416 | And I''m not so young as I was, thinks Missie, eh? |
14416 | And he died mad in consequence of that bite? |
14416 | And is a''weel wi''your lordship? |
14416 | And presently:"Why did you say last night that you knew I was coming?" |
14416 | And the horse in the stall? |
14416 | And whan was that, lad? |
14416 | And what did ye do?" |
14416 | And what sort of a Purgatory has her poor soul had to pass through to atone for the cruel murder of the child she bore? |
14416 | And you know... my husband... is dead?" |
14416 | Aye, and what more than Donald?" |
14416 | But at such an hour, in such a night, what could be done? |
14416 | But he never came within sight of the farm- house, and how did he know to wait at the gate? |
14416 | But was it not, in reality, a sort of incipient Strike? |
14416 | Can he not feel the clammy chill of the little hand he takes in his? |
14416 | Come I what''s against our making a bargain? |
14416 | Could it be that he was now actually in the power of such beings? |
14416 | Could ye told me if there wud pe ony o''them tat wad pe seem''yer honour comin''in here?" |
14416 | Did not wounds sometimes refuse to heal, and did not the patient sometimes gradually sink and die without anybody being to blame? |
14416 | Did some one, greatly daring,"adventure that treasure to win,"and succeed in his attempt? |
14416 | Does she, a dismal sentry, keep guard there still? |
14416 | Eh? |
14416 | Eh?" |
14416 | Fwhat will this creatur pe tat will pe approaching in such ways and manners pefore a Hieland shentleman?" |
14416 | Had he not cause to distrust that baron, and to believe that means neither fair nor honourable might be employed by his enemy to wipe out the feud? |
14416 | Hoo are ye? |
14416 | How many of us really wish to be corsairs? |
14416 | How_ could_ he have fancied that he was out amongst the snow? |
14416 | If it comes to that, what the de''il are_ ye_ doin''ridin''my mare? |
14416 | If its old walls could speak, what, for instance, might they not have told of Jacobite plottings? |
14416 | If the secrets of his soul could be laid bare, what, above all, would be found to be his predominant wish? |
14416 | If these had come out of the jaws of death, why not the others? |
14416 | In silence he heard it again, and then:"Do you not know me?" |
14416 | Is it the story of the villain who is successfully tracked to his doom that attracts us most? |
14416 | It''s naething short o''a meericle?" |
14416 | KINMONT WILLIE A venerable and highly respected Scottish professor of literature was once asked what was his ruling passion-- his heart''s desire? |
14416 | Man, where were ye? |
14416 | Maudge,"followed always by the mewing of a cat-- what could that be but some old hag, given over to evil deeds, talking to her familiar? |
14416 | Muckle? |
14416 | O, is my basnet a widow''s curch? |
14416 | Of what do men think when they are lost in the snow? |
14416 | Only-- who was that on the road ahead of him? |
14416 | Or my arm a ladye''s lilye hand, That an English lord should lightly me?''" |
14416 | Or my lance a wand o''the willow- tree? |
14416 | SALMON AND SALMON- POACHERS IN THE BORDER What is it that causes a salmon to be so irresistible a temptation to the average Borderer? |
14416 | She_ might_ perhaps die before we came back, might n''t she?" |
14416 | Some o''you dragoon lads maybe saw as muckle as ye cared for o''auld Scotland that day o''Prestonpans?" |
14416 | The porter came to him and said:"''Hae ye ony mind, Colonel, o''yon big fush ye slippit in the Tod Holes yon nicht?'' |
14416 | Then loud the Warden''s trumpet blew--_''O wha daur meddle wi''me? |
14416 | Then, what so easy to make as a mistake in her treatment of the wound-- to dress it with an irritating salve instead of with a healing one? |
14416 | To him came a man on foot; and, said he:"Have ye seen onny stray cattle i''your travels? |
14416 | Was he in truth the frail old man he had pretended to be, or had he overacted his part, and was he no minstrel, but an enemy in disguise? |
14416 | Was it in the dungeon of some sorcerer, of some disciple of the Devil, that he now lay? |
14416 | Was it not more than likely that the dog was mad when, unprovoked, it bit a man? |
14416 | Was_ this_ the end of all his dreams? |
14416 | Weel, didna they see you coming doun the water taigled wi''a fish? |
14416 | What can I do for you?" |
14416 | What do you say to that, now?" |
14416 | What if he were to die now? |
14416 | What was that voice that he now heard, thin and hollow, on the evening air? |
14416 | What was the meaning of it? |
14416 | What wonder that every decent person in the town spoke of him with horror? |
14416 | What''s the sense o''waiting till a man''s too old? |
14416 | What''s there to repent? |
14416 | What''s this?" |
14416 | What, he pondered unquietly, caused this amazing change in the appearance of one who so lately had seemed to be almost on the verge of the grave? |
14416 | Where are then the laughing waters and the smiling sunlit sands? |

45778 | And aye he turned him round about, And smil''d amang his men: Says--"Like ye best the old ladye,"Or her that''s new come hame?" |
45778 | And is the deadly combat o''er?" |
45778 | And must he seek the martial plain? |
45778 | And must sad Eva lose her lord? |
45778 | As cygnet down, proud swelled her breast; Her eye confest the pearly tear; His hand she to her bosom prest--"Is there no heart for rapture here? |

45778 | He calls the boy, and asks, what was become of these gentlemen, and what was to pay? |
45778 | His ancient wounds their scars expand, With agony his heart is wrung: O where is Isolde''s lilye hand, And where her soothing tongue? |

45778 | It is said, that Sir Richard Steele, while riding near this place, saw a shepherd boy reading his Bible, and asked him, what he learned from it? |
45778 | King Henrie said,"How lang will this last wi''me?" |
45778 | Like music from the greenwood tree, Again she raised the melting lay;--"Fair warrior, wilt thou dwell with me,"And leave the maid of Colonsay? |

45778 | Then up and raise him, King Honour, Says--"What means a''this din? |

31761 | All quiet, Roderick? |
31761 | And canst thou bless me, too,said Augustus,"after all that I have done?" |
31761 | And hae ye forgot the lounderings that I used to gie ye, for ca''in ane anither such names? |
31761 | And now, my dear young friend,said he,"what can I say to_ you_? |
31761 | And, oh doctor, what then? |
31761 | But wouldna ye_ wish_ me, my dear Peggy, to stretch a point to get yer faither''s tears dried up, and yer ain stopped? 31761 Dear me, Margaret, what''s the matter wi''ye?" |
31761 | Dear me,said she,"what can be the matter wi''ye?" |
31761 | Do I look as one who would betray your friends-- if they be your friends? |
31761 | Do ye ken Fairly the tailor? |
31761 | Do ye ken such a man as Fairly the tailor? |
31761 | Do ye mean, Peggy, that I should get him to sign the bill? |
31761 | Do ye remember the names that ye used to gie ane anither? |
31761 | Do you remember Richard Musgrave? |
31761 | How are ye the day, Lizzie? |
31761 | How are you, Mr Deacon Waldie? |
31761 | I dinna ken either,said the boy;"but it''s turned terrible blue- like, is n''t it? |
31761 | I have, sir-- and what of that? |
31761 | I ken o''naething that can be the matter,was her reply--"but what''s the matter wi''t, say ye?" |
31761 | If,said he,"Mrs Jean Todd had been hostile to this measure, would she not have declared it_ manfully_, as is her uniform practice in similar cases?" |
31761 | Is it possible? 31761 Is it the cat you mane?" |
31761 | Is that your signature, sir? |
31761 | Is there no one in those parts,said I,"that can attend your father, and assist you? |
31761 | Make it convenient? |
31761 | Margaret,said the deacon,"_ you_, I am sure, dinna ask me to overturn, at ae blow, a''the principles o''my life, conversation, and conduct?" |
31761 | Might I try William, think ye, Margaret? |
31761 | No that ill, Jock,was the reply;"how are ye yersel? |
31761 | No,said Harry, sternly;"wouldst tamper with my child''s heart, when her trusting in thee would place my life in thy power? |
31761 | Now, my good fellow,replied Jacob, in a satirically calm tone,"_ do_ tell me what you mean?" |
31761 | Och, is n''t he a broth of a boy, now, that captain of ours? |
31761 | See you that ring? |
31761 | Sir,exclaimed Colonel Maberly, furiously,"do you mean to mutiny?--do you mean to disobey orders?" |
31761 | So far well,said Harry;"but I hope you have no fear of any king''s lobsters being upon the coast, or rats ashore?" |
31761 | That can not be the daughter of a rude and ignorant smuggler,thought Augustus;"and how should such a creature be connected with them?" |
31761 | The decreet''s oot the morn, Mr Fairly, against that man Simmins,said his visiter, Mr John Howison;"what do ye mean to do? |
31761 | The laddie has done it in a fit o''passion,said I,"and what will become o''poor Katie?" |
31761 | Then I suppose you will not refuse my request? |
31761 | Then, I fancy,continued Mrs Jean Todd,"ye would like yer name back again?" |
31761 | Well, Master Teasdale,said the skipper, who was becoming impatient,"what would you have us to do with him?" |
31761 | Well, Soundings,said Captain Fleetwood,"what do you want with me?" |
31761 | Well, how art thou now, lad? |
31761 | Well, mates,said he, as he approached them,"have you seen a shark cruising off the coast this morning?" |
31761 | What do you mean, sir? |
31761 | What is it, my love? |
31761 | What is that? |
31761 | What is that? |
31761 | What mean you? |
31761 | What need I promise,rejoined Nelly,"when, for onything I ken, ye may be gaun to see Lizzie Gimmerton_ the morn''s nicht_?" |

31761 | When I am sittin at the window o''a prison, thinkin o''my dead Agnes, and lookin at the red settin o''my sixty- fifth sun? |
31761 | Where is the captain? |
31761 | Where''s the key? |
31761 | Will we pin him in this house, then? |
31761 | Will you absolve me from this duty? |
31761 | Wilt thou amuse the poor gentleman with a song, love,said Harry,"for I fear he has but a dull time on''t?" |
31761 | Wull we gie chase? |
31761 | Ye''ll blab, will ye? |
31761 | You have not had the benefit of a sea education, so what can we expect from you? 31761 _ When?_"groaned the miserable man, satirically, as if roused by the sound of the distasteful word"happy." |
31761 | After the usage he got here last nicht, wha could hae thocht he wad hae taen ony interest in my affairs?" |
31761 | Age, wisdom, youth, wit, humour, friendship, love, and beauty-- what could a raw shepherd lad oppose to all these? |
31761 | And how hae ye been, and where hae ye been?" |
31761 | And noo, Sandy,"she continued, in a jesting tone, and turning from the mother to the son as she spoke,"what think ye o''her for a wife? |
31761 | And the stranger replies--"You do n''t know me, I suppose? |
31761 | And what was he doing there? |
31761 | Are we disgusted and terrified at what we love? |
31761 | Are we to incarcerate?" |
31761 | Are ye quite sure that ye haena allowed the days o''grace in Templeton''s bill to expire? |
31761 | At the same time, she could not allow her husband to be ruined; and the question was, how she should act in these trying circumstances? |
31761 | But I say, Tom, has n''t this been an out- and- out passage? |
31761 | But are you sure she has the swag?" |
31761 | But surely I hae some excuse: is she no a noble cratur? |
31761 | But what could she do to prevent things from taking their course? |
31761 | But what need can there be for makin lees aboot it? |
31761 | But why need you care now about the scurvy tricks of fortune abroad, since you have returned to enjoy her favours at home?" |
31761 | But, after a'', woman, if the twa were to gang thegither, could ye no come owre here? |
31761 | Can you save him, sir?--can you save the faither o''her wha has scarcely anither freend on earth?" |
31761 | Captain Hartley started to his feet, his cheeks became pale; he inquired, in an eager tone,"Have you seen me before?" |
31761 | Come, dearest, do you doubt me still? |
31761 | Come, now, has Deacon Waldie the key?" |
31761 | Concurrent respondent:"But are ye sure it was him after a''?" |
31761 | Dick Muzzy? |
31761 | Did she ever presume to sway or alter, in the slightest degree, the decrees o''my judgment? |
31761 | Dinna ye see them standing at the end o''their house there, and their three bairns beside them, and baith lookin as happy as the day''s lang? |
31761 | Do ye think I wad be such an ass as to send out spies in the face o''the enemy? |
31761 | Do you know anything of them?" |
31761 | Do you still think me capable of the part of an informer?" |
31761 | Do you threaten me?" |
31761 | Hae I had a run o''gud luck for twenty years, and yet ye think me nae better general than that comes to? |
31761 | He is now in possession of a rental of three thousand per annum, to which, of course, you will be heir?" |
31761 | How could I live in close and constant communion with one so fascinating, and escape the fascination? |
31761 | How could it be otherwise? |
31761 | How shall we go on? |
31761 | I heard her cry distinctly,"My father!--my father!--will nobody save my father?" |
31761 | I trusted to your honour that ye wad ask no questions while here-- and how have you kept your honour? |
31761 | If Nature has formed his head out o''a whinstane, can I transform it into marble? |
31761 | Is not your name Lorrimer?" |
31761 | Is the key on the hook?" |
31761 | Is there no help for him?--shall my father perish?" |
31761 | It is a medicine; but"--pausing, and eyeing me sorrowfully--"do you mean it to_ kill_ or_ cure_?" |
31761 | Jock, man, it''s me-- it''s your auld acquaintance, Nelly, but tell me, Jock, hae ye gane clean out o''yer judgment?" |
31761 | Look at Mrs Margaret Waldie-- a cleverer cratur doesna exist-- that is, in her ain way; but did she ever dare to counsel me? |
31761 | Need we say that these were James M''Intyre and Roderick M''Leod? |
31761 | Nor were they otherwise; but the value of the sincerity of the intemperate and the immoral, what is it? |
31761 | Oh, I''ll never forget its words!--and if ye winna tak pity on me, what am I to do?" |
31761 | Oh, what will my puir faither do? |
31761 | Revolution and death, do we say? |
31761 | Seriously, will ye comply wi''my request?" |
31761 | So, thou wilt not cry now-- thou wilt not distress thy father, wilt thou? |
31761 | Such things happen, doctor-- and wha would hae thocht it o''Jack the dunse? |
31761 | The first is--"Who will I take?" |
31761 | The second question, which is scarcely less important, is--"Who will I get?" |
31761 | Then what the devil do you want?" |
31761 | Therefore, the next time I saw him--"Sandy,"says I,"wha was''t laid Troy in ashes?" |
31761 | Was it not telling them to look out for the lugger?" |
31761 | What do you mean, Frank?" |
31761 | What fair maiden, in the eyes of Jacob Merrilees, could compete with Miss Julia Willoughby? |
31761 | What is your remedy?" |
31761 | What man wi''a spark o''independence in his breast would think o''resignin his judgment into the hands o''a woman? |
31761 | What news of my old schoolmate?" |
31761 | What was I now to do? |
31761 | What was to be done then? |
31761 | Who is the James H---- you just now mentioned?" |
31761 | Why cam you here to revive a struggle that was past? |
31761 | Why had I forgotten this matter of history, and allowed myself to be led astray by vain theories and partial experiments? |
31761 | Why is my comrade, James M''Intyre, amongst the firing- party?" |
31761 | Why should I detail the circumstances of William''s seduction from sobriety? |
31761 | Why, then, did she in this instance depart from her ordinary course? |
31761 | Why, then, should I accept o''honour I never wrocht for, and couldna hae merited by a''the power and skill o''my puir abilities? |
31761 | Will ye join me in security for my father- in- law to the extent o''twa hunder pounds?" |
31761 | Will ye think o''t, my dear Murdoch?" |
31761 | You Richard Musgrave? |
31761 | and flinging her arms around his neck;"oh, what is it?--what is it?" |
31761 | and how''s Nelly?" |
31761 | cried he, sternly,"what hast thou done, girl?--shown thy face and betrayed me?--and told thy name, and mine, too, I suppose?" |
31761 | cried the skipper;"there is nothing for it but fighting now-- I suppose that is what you mean, Master Teasdale?" |
31761 | exclaimed the captain, convulsively, and suddenly striking his hand upon his breast--"is it so?" |
31761 | exclaimed the old dominie, starting from his seat,"what do I hear?" |
31761 | it''s a bonny thing, indeed-- do ye suppose that I had the makin o''your son? |
31761 | replied Harry;"for what, neighbours?" |
31761 | replied the captain, who was an Englishman;"and what shall we do?" |
31761 | said I,"what business had he to fa''in love, when he had the bairns and his books to mind?" |
31761 | said the carpenter, rushing up the quarter- hatch with a face like a ghost--"where is the captain?" |
31761 | said the smuggler, approaching the bed;"dost think ye could take breakfast yet?" |
31761 | says I;"and wha was the cause o''Sandy Rutherford losing his situation as tutor, and being sent back to Annan?" |
31761 | she continued, breathless, and her voice choked with sobbing--"what do they say that you have done?" |
31761 | she continued, in a tone of sympathy, which appeared somewhat to comfort him;"how did that happen? |
31761 | she whispered, eagerly,"is it you?--where is my father?--what has detained him?" |
31761 | will it? |
31593 | ''Why, thou needna cry,''said I,''I winna eat thee; but how came thou here?--and where be thy faither and mother?'' 31593 ''Why, what be that thou hast brought, Sandy lad?'' |
31593 | A grey- haired, wild- looking woman? |
31593 | All ready, Vanderhoek? |
31593 | An''what for no? |
31593 | And dost thou understand this instrument, my own love? |
31593 | And what did she say then? |
31593 | And what did she say? |
31593 | And ye tell''t her? |
31593 | But hoo can we help them, mither? |
31593 | But where is my pa? 31593 Certainly,_ gut thrie_,"said Andrew;"I brought the stranger in-- and what is a haddie, or what are they worth?" |
31593 | Chance for what, Andrew dear? |
31593 | Cockburn, Cockburn,ejaculated the disconsolate wife,"what power may now save ye from thy fate? |
31593 | Dear Anne,whispered the youth, taking her hand,"what ails thee?" |
31593 | Didna I tell ye that already? 31593 Do ye ken Mr. Barton''s, Jock?" |
31593 | Fellow,he cried,"who are you?" |
31593 | Guid folks,said I, as calmly as I could, in reply to this strange rhapsody,"will ye be sae kind as tell me what a''this means?" |
31593 | Hard- hearted, cruel old man,exclaimed the maiden,"what can be taking him here? |
31593 | I did hear she was gaun to flit,said the old man, composedly;"but whatfor canna she get a house?" |
31593 | I wad like first to ken, sir,I replied,"what was the meanin o''yer writin us sic a letter as we had frae ye the ither day?" |
31593 | Is there not an under current here, Karl? |
31593 | Is there not another,cried the herald,"to stand forth, and maintain with his sword the honour and courage of the Borders?" |
31593 | Isna''t? |
31593 | It is really very singular, Andrew,interrupted the old woman;"what_ hae_ ye done?--what_ is really the meaning o''t_?" |
31593 | It''s been a bonny business,replied her husband;"but what on earth was''t a''aboot?" |
31593 | James, have you seen our agent from Glasgow?--how goes it there? |
31593 | My two boys,said he, addressing the widow,"are at the far Frith; an''how can an open boat live in a night like this?" |
31593 | Noo, Mr. Smith,said Mrs. Craig, triumphantly,"what were we to think o''a''this, but that ye were really an''truly buried? |
31593 | O Phebe,said her ladyship,"are you guilty of this?" |
31593 | She has escaped,said the old man;"it''s a feeble hand that canna do good when the heart is willing-- but what has mine been doing a''life long?" |
31593 | The farmer of the next farm may perhaps treat me like the farmer of this-- and what then? |
31593 | The girl Henry-- and what then? |
31593 | There, my lad, are you satisfied now? 31593 They ca''me Smith, my man-- what is it?" |
31593 | Think ill, comrade,said the other,"why should I do so?" |
31593 | Was that fair form mutilated? |
31593 | Was the like o''t ever heard? 31593 What brings ye frae Peebles, man?" |
31593 | What circumstances do ye allude to, sir? |
31593 | What circumstances, sir, do I allude to? |
31593 | What do you mean? 31593 What have you heard, my love?" |
31593 | What invitation? 31593 What is''t?" |
31593 | What means this? |
31593 | What s''a''this o''t? |
31593 | What want ye wi''my Leddie at this time, man? |
31593 | What''s he been doin? |
31593 | What''s this? |
31593 | Where is thy master, sirrah? |
31593 | Where, woman?--where? |
31593 | Wherefore, Jonathan,she cried,"wherefore will ye sacrifice yourself, and why will ye gie up my winsome sons to the jaws of death? |
31593 | Who is he? |
31593 | Why are you here, mother, in the lightning? |
31593 | Why stare with your white dead eyes on me? 31593 Why trouble me?" |
31593 | Why, what in the globe, daughter Anne,said her father,"can make thee sigh? |
31593 | Ye have heard, kinsmen,continued the monarch,"his confession of his guiltiness from his own lips-- what punishment do ye award him?" |
31593 | Yon the king? |
31593 | _ Will_ ye stap in a bit? |
31593 | ''Laddie,''says I, where dost thou come frae? |
31593 | ''Will ony o''ye lend me a stick, gentlemen?'' |
31593 | A_ traitor!_ say ye, the king ca''ed him? |
31593 | An'', oh, how it lightens?" |
31593 | An'', pray, wha was this gentleman? |
31593 | And was it not well for him? |
31593 | Andrew could endure it no longer; and he was saying--"Will ony person tak charge o''my Gallow- way?" |
31593 | Are ye in the body, or are ye but a wanderin spirit? |
31593 | Are you not again to turn the fearless eye of the eagle on the cliff where Tushielaw hangs like a beetling crag? |
31593 | Art thou sad because Patrick is to leave thee to go to a fair for a day or two? |
31593 | At last--"Jock,"said I, wi''a great effort,"did ye see her?" |
31593 | At length, our knockings were answered by a female voice--"What want ye here at this time o''nicht, disturbing a lone woman?" |
31593 | Be they alive?--or who brought thee here? |
31593 | But it was noo,"_ Will_ ye step in?" |
31593 | But what can I do? |
31593 | But what do ye ken, dear?" |
31593 | But what said ye of Merlin''s Elm, man? |
31593 | But what will not woman''s wit accomplish? |
31593 | But where in all the world did you pick up this sweet little darling?" |
31593 | But whether could she fly? |
31593 | But who could be the mother of this pretty, sweet, dear, darling, lovely child? |
31593 | But why dwell on a scene which I feel myself unfitted to describe? |
31593 | But why record the quarrels of this unfortunate evening? |
31593 | But why should I have added an artificial misery to wretchedness like his? |
31593 | Can it be possible? |
31593 | Come, now, Parys, was not that sweet dream dearer to ye than the fever of the strife of Border foray?" |
31593 | Come, now, confess that it is not for nothing that the old sword points have been risped on the sharping- stone on the ballium?" |
31593 | Could it be Lady M----? |
31593 | Creditors to meet,"& c.& c."Now, sir,"said Mr. Drysdale, with a triumphant sneer,"are you satisfied?" |
31593 | Dear, dear minny"--a term by which she still addressed me--"can you not tell me anything about my own ma?" |
31593 | Did I do wrang, Jamie?" |
31593 | Do ye hear that?" |
31593 | Hast thou been at Morpeth?'' |
31593 | He sat still, and, lookin sternly at me as I approached him--"Well, Mr. Smith,"he said,"are ye come to settle that account? |
31593 | Hear ye that foot in the stair?" |
31593 | How shall I behave? |
31593 | How the devil came they here, if they have not some knowledge of our proceedings? |
31593 | Is Helen''s song to be changed for the raven war- cry; and the blessings of our peaceful household, for the curses of revengeful war?" |
31593 | Is it my mailed body, or panoplied steed?--or fear ye that my blood is base enough to rust your swords? |
31593 | Is it no Eachen Macinla o''Tarbet?" |
31593 | Is it no bearing in for the boat haven below?" |
31593 | Is it not skaithed? |
31593 | Is it not so? |
31593 | Is it not so? |
31593 | Is it not true that you are to cut through my silken bands with the restless sword? |
31593 | Is that no your opinion, sirs?" |
31593 | Is there not enough provided for the eagles''and the ravens''banquet, without their bonny blue een to peck at? |
31593 | It was a mistak, was it?--a mistak? |
31593 | Life was extinct; but who would convince the frantic wife that her beloved Parys was gone for ever? |
31593 | My dear mamma, do you think I should have gone? |
31593 | Now, I hope, sir, although ye are a stranger, ye no think ill o''my familiarity?" |
31593 | O Jamie, will ye no leave thae night adventures, and be content wi what ye can earn through the day?" |
31593 | One messenger hath failed already-- shall a wife fail in the cause of her husband''s life?" |
31593 | She gave me such an anxious, imploring look, as her trembling lips murmured--"Oh, what shall I do?" |
31593 | Smith?" |
31593 | Smith?--what''s this has happened ye, man?" |
31593 | Sometimes the thought found its way through her anxiety-- why did they not call for or visit her? |
31593 | Speak, no secrets now; are the trees beside it blasted, and does it stand?" |
31593 | That''s something very bad, is n''t it? |
31593 | The king rose to meet her, saying--"What would my fair queen?" |
31593 | The voice of the king was now heard, crying,"Is everything prepared?" |
31593 | Then I thought I found something upon my breast, that was like my little Anne''s head, and I put my hand out, and I said,''Is that thee, Anne love?'' |
31593 | Was it I who raised the wind on the sea?--was it I?--was it I? |
31593 | Was it possible, it may fairly be asked, that fate had it in store to add to these agonies? |
31593 | Wasna that a pretty morsel for me to swallow? |
31593 | Weel, guid reader, what do ye think o''that? |
31593 | Wha is the king, think ye?--now, just think wha?" |
31593 | What be thy faither, eh?--or thy mother? |
31593 | What could she do? |
31593 | What did ye say or do to him?--or what can be the meaning o''t?" |
31593 | What else could we think?" |
31593 | What has become of Ralph? |
31593 | What more want you? |
31593 | What was to be done? |
31593 | What''s that on your upper lip, an''your chin?" |
31593 | What, in heaven''s name, am I to do wi''this unfortunate patronymic o''mine? |
31593 | Who is guilty? |
31593 | Who is he, then? |
31593 | Will ye promise, Jenny?" |
31593 | Will you keep it for my sake?" |
31593 | Yet, stay-- shall I not go myself? |
31593 | cried Hector.--"And where is my father?" |
31593 | cried the agonised old man--"who is my son?--how shall I know him?" |
31593 | exclaimed Andrew,"am I in existence!--do I dream, or what?--O Jenny, woman!--O your Majesty!--what shall I say?" |
31593 | exclaimed Sandy,"what is it that ye twasome are saying between ye? |
31593 | for what can man do in a night like this?" |
31593 | have I no pa? |
31593 | he said,"what business had you there?" |
31593 | inquired Catherine, with a look of surprise--"what can we do?" |
31593 | is that you? |
31593 | or what will he say to me? |
31593 | quoth she--''I hope thou be na the faither o''t, Sandy?'' |
31593 | replied I, as angrily-- for I thocht the fellow put the question in a very impertinent sort o''way--"what business hae ye wi''my name?" |
31593 | said Andrew, pulling up his pony,"is this ye? |
31593 | said Nancy, with a look, and in a tone of astonishment--"I dinna comprehend ye, Andrew-- what do ye mean? |
31593 | said my dear wife, as I entered;"bless me, my dear, what''s that you are bringing us?" |
31593 | said the fellow wha first took hand o''me;"not you-- you''re amazed, an''t you? |
31593 | said the king, sternly;"do ye deny that ye raised your hand against our royal person?" |
31593 | she repeated--"Guilty of what? |
31593 | what ails ye? |
31593 | what do you mean?" |
31593 | what is the meaning of all this, Jenkins?" |
31593 | what shall I say to him? |
31593 | what, in the name o''wonder, is the meaning o''the king''s being in a passion at ye? |
31593 | where can succour come frae in sae terrible a night? |
31593 | wherefore should I live to mourn with the winter winds, or make a companion of the fearsome echoes that howl in the dark glens? |
34148 | ''But how was this, and when?'' 34148 ''Mr Pattison? |
34148 | ''My dear master,''said I,''am I to accompany you?'' 34148 ''Well, well; but ghosts, Rodney-- did you ever see a ghost?'' |
34148 | ''What do you mean?'' 34148 ''Who told you so, Chips?'' |
34148 | ''Ye''ve never been in Chainey, yer honour? 34148 And what is the name of this rich citizen?" |
34148 | And what''s that, Janet? |
34148 | And when is the wedding to be? |
34148 | And wilt thou give it him, father? |
34148 | And, pray, Mr Crabbin,replied she, holding away her head,"is it your intention ever to give yours to another woman?" |
34148 | Are all these your children, madam? |
34148 | Are these your children, Mr Crabbin? |
34148 | Are you my father? |
34148 | Art ready? |
34148 | Art thou mad? 34148 But how is this? |
34148 | Can a Scotsman ask that question of a Scotsman? |
34148 | Can it be possible,thought he,"that the storm has insensibly driven me in the right direction? |
34148 | Can it be? |
34148 | Did ever ye hear the like o''the woman? |
34148 | Do you remember that strange old fellow, Rodney, the quartermaster,said Grant,"who used to be such a favourite of yours? |
34148 | Dost thou not hear, Anne, that I am, as I suspected, doomed to lay my head on the block? |
34148 | Edinburgh, did you say, young man? |
34148 | Have I been at all these pains,muttered he,"to conceal what yields her pleasure rather than chagrin?" |
34148 | Hear ye that, then, Jamie? |
34148 | His name, then? |
34148 | How could it be any other than Peter of Ghent? |
34148 | I dinna doubt,says I, for I was perfectly aware that I often had;"but what do ye mean to be at?" |
34148 | Is he alive? 34148 Is it a genius for making machines-- or playing the fiddle-- or what?" |
34148 | Is it not true, sir, that thou didst sell the maiden to the traitor Oliphant? |
34148 | Is it possible,said the king,"that you have not long before detected the feelings I ventured to entertain for your daughter? |
34148 | Is there a man whose blood is warm within himwho does not recollect it? |
34148 | Is this the reward, my liege,she said, in a clear, tuneful voice,"that is due to me for my humble efforts in behalf of the success of thine arms? |
34148 | Is''t true, Janet, that they''re to be coupled i''the kirk? |
34148 | Isabella,said I,"are ye no perfectly aware that this is our wedding- day, and that we were to be at the manse at twelve o''clock precisely?" |
34148 | It''ll be the guidman that ye''re gaun to meet at H----? |
34148 | Losh- a- day,thought I,"I wonder what folk would hae me to be at, or how they can gie themsels sae meikle trouble, and be sae particular?" |
34148 | Man,returned the guidwife,"did you no hear yon awfu rattle at the windock? |
34148 | Pray, sir, is the Atlas a strong company? |
34148 | Sandford!--in the name of all that''s strange, is that you? |
34148 | So you are a_ great genius_, young man, my friend informs mo,said the broker;"what have you a genius for?" |
34148 | Then I hope it''s not a genius for making ballads, is it? |
34148 | Then what does the man merit who sells his daughter for the liberties of the country by whose industry and means he liveth? |
34148 | This touches your feelings, Henry,said May;"but can we not, love, do something to alleviate the sufferings of this, no doubt, unfortunate female? |
34148 | To Cupar, sir? |
34148 | Well, sirrah, are these rebels still determined to hold out? |
34148 | Wha''s there? |
34148 | What are we to do noo, Jamie? |
34148 | What are you thinking of, Mr Crabbin? |
34148 | What became of old Rodney, did you ever hear? |
34148 | What do ye want? |
34148 | What is all this? |
34148 | What is his remissness to thee, if I adhere to my condition, and demand my bond? 34148 What is it?" |
34148 | What is your name? |
34148 | What meaneth the damsel''s strange words? |
34148 | What meaneth this!--where is the complaint? 34148 What was that Jamie?" |
34148 | What was_ what_, lassie? |
34148 | What''s that I hear ye say? |
34148 | What''s that, Jamie? |
34148 | When saw ye the others,said Mrs Reddie--"George, Amelia, and Augustus? |
34148 | Who art thou, in Heaven''s name? |
34148 | Who was my father, since you are not? |
34148 | Why, good priest,said the lady,"canst thou thus talk of worldly possessions to one in such agony? |
34148 | Will she not yet throw off her veil? |
34148 | Ye dinna mean to say the like o''that? |
34148 | Ye dinna surely intend to gang to Cupar this nicht? |
34148 | Ye''ll hae travelled a gey bit the day, na, I sudna wonder? |
34148 | ''What though each spark of earth- born rapture fly?-- The quivering lip, pale cheek, and closing eye? |
34148 | Am not I to pay for it? |
34148 | And ye hae a letter frae my brother, the captain, sir,"added he, anxiously;"how is he?--where is he?--when did ye see him?" |
34148 | And"now the crack gaes round, and who so wilful as to put it by?" |
34148 | Are they weel aneugh?" |
34148 | Are ye aye there yet, freen?" |
34148 | Are ye better noo?" |
34148 | But I hope ye didna forget to gie in the marriage lines to the minister?" |
34148 | But might I have the great boldness, madam, to ask you why you put that question to me?" |
34148 | But see, Nelly, whatna puir, waebegone- lookin cratur''s that comin alang the road, scarcely able to trail ae leg after anither? |
34148 | But we have more to say; and that is, that, where a man does not love the woman( as why should he?) |
34148 | But what didst thou mean, Anne, by thy statement to the soldier, that I was safe by the word of the Bruce? |
34148 | But what would literature_ alone_ have done for May Darling? |
34148 | But why more? |
34148 | But, pray, what is the name of that old, grey- roofed house upon the bank, at the western extremity of the loch?" |
34148 | Can it be possible that these canting Whigamores have the spirit of prophecy? |
34148 | Could I be otherwise than happy? |
34148 | Did my father really stand before me? |
34148 | Did n''t I sail with a man once as had been in a ship where one of the lads had seen the Flying Dutchman the voyage before, and swore to it, too? |
34148 | Do I now stand among the rocks that look down upon the breaker- beaten bay of St Andrews? |
34148 | Do ye imagine that onybody is gaun to gie ye out a licht the first thing on a New- year''s morning? |
34148 | Do ye think ye could be fashed to read the''Cottagers o''Glenburnie?'' |
34148 | Do you remember him distinctly, Sandford? |
34148 | Dost thou think as well of her now as formerly?" |
34148 | For a dozen long years everybody had told him he was a genius; and now, when the question was put to him--"what had he a genius for?" |
34148 | Had I not better awake her, and conduct her to my father''s, where refreshment and rest can be procured?" |
34148 | He is there!--he-- he!----Who?" |
34148 | He requested to know where his daughter derived so much knowledge? |
34148 | He soon began to show some symptoms of returning animation, and James earnestly inquired--"How are ye yet? |
34148 | Hearest thou not the groans of the dying citizens amidst the loud clang of arms? |
34148 | How shall we describe her virtues? |
34148 | How, it will be asked, was all this looked upon by her father? |
34148 | I daursay the captain''s made his will in''t-- what does he say?" |
34148 | I feel ill. What can ail Comyn on the night of his day of triumph? |
34148 | If you set him off with a bare allowance of ballast, and without a single letter of credit-- do you expect him to bring home a cargo? |
34148 | Is that like Englishmen?" |
34148 | Is this the faith of the Brace, whose name has filled the nations as the trumpet resounds within the palisades when honour is to be sought and won?" |
34148 | Knowest thou this silken band, lady, by which my left orb is occluded, and my affections bound to the giver?" |
34148 | Must we, then, secure the good, and run the risk of the attendant evil? |
34148 | Now, sir, after that yarn, will you tell me that there are no such things as ghosts? |
34148 | Oh, Richard, what will we do? |
34148 | Or can this be the little loch which I passed in the afternoon, and which then lay stretched out in frozen tranquillity beneath me?" |
34148 | Or have I returned again to the banks of the Tay? |
34148 | Or what could philosophy have done for her? |
34148 | Shall he part with one? |
34148 | Siller maks sair changes; and yet, wha wad exchange the Will Scott of Auchincleuch, your rich bridegroom, Nancy, for the Will Mather, your auld lover? |
34148 | The boy ran to the door, and inquired--"Who''s there?" |
34148 | Then up I would have got, shrugging my shoulders, and wriggling them frae side to side, and cried peevishly to one,"Where''s my stockings?" |
34148 | Told she not the secret of your birth before she died?" |
34148 | Was it that, under the handsome exterior of her soldier- cousin, Philip de Candela, the elder sister recognised a spirit similar to her own? |
34148 | What availeth now the wiles, the subtlety, the courage of Scotland''s proudest earl? |
34148 | What can I minister to thee?" |
34148 | What is her name?" |
34148 | What means the rebellious wench?" |
34148 | What say you, Mr Caleb Crabbin?" |
34148 | What sayest thou?" |
34148 | What sayest, my love?" |
34148 | What shall he do? |
34148 | What was ye thinking about, that ye didna mind the siller?" |
34148 | What were May Darling''s feelings during this heartrending scene? |
34148 | What, then, is so attractive about Grassyvale? |
34148 | Where couldst thou have seen the Bruce?" |
34148 | Whither shall I fly, or where shall I conceal myself?" |
34148 | Who now-- who will protect you when I am an outlaw?'' |
34148 | Why, now I''ll make bould to say yer honour does n''t know how to make a sea- pie or a dish of lobskous?'' |
34148 | Will the image of that procession ever pass from my mind? |
34148 | Wilt thou not let me free, good Master Mohr?" |
34148 | Wilt_ thou_, madam, give up a half of thy liferent, to aid in the redemption of the soul thou lovest so ardently?" |
34148 | Would I not have been better as a hosier?" |
34148 | You oodn''t believe, now, I suppose, Mr Douglas, that I keeps watch and watch with my peepers, and always goes to sleep with one eye open? |
34148 | added the gentleman;"and your father''s name?" |
34148 | and if so, which of the two? |
34148 | and to another,"Where''s my jacket?" |
34148 | and what sort of ghost was it?'' |
34148 | can ye no? |
34148 | cried I;"Isabella, do ye want to drive me mad?" |
34148 | cried Nancy, bursting out into a loud laugh;"see, he''s awa round by the Craw Plantin, and winna see us-- and whar''s the harm if he did? |
34148 | cried Nelly, wringing her hands;"what tempted her to be my first- foot?--or what tempted me to gie her a licht? |
34148 | did ever youthful love calculate consequences aright, until the calculation is useless? |
34148 | had not you the idea from me? |
34148 | hem!--is it your intention, Mrs Bowsie, ever again to change your name?" |
34148 | is the man beside himsel? |
34148 | returned my acquaintance--"wherefore would n''t you believe me yesterday?" |
34148 | returned she--"what for?--what do ye mean?--what women?" |
34148 | said I,"the man''s daft!--do ye think I dinna ken him better than that? |
34148 | said her mother, who was sorry for me,"what do ye mean?" |
34148 | said his lordship,"you the author of_ the Defence_? |
34148 | said the gentleman, eagerly;"who is he?--what is his name?" |
34148 | said the man, with a smile;"for is he not the richest citizen of Perth?" |
34148 | said the officer;''what foolish notion have you taken into yer head?'' |
34148 | says I,"are ye no ready?--where''s the women?" |
34148 | shall my innocent be left terceless-- a beggar-- the dependant of my brothers? |
34148 | thought I,"what ill have I done?" |
34148 | what can be done for thee?" |
34148 | what have you been after?" |
34148 | why didna ye trap him?" |
34148 | why do ye stand there? |
34148 | you''re no in earnest?" |
34146 | ''And how,''asked my mother, whose curiosity was excited,''could you have thought of it so early?'' 34146 ''Are you aware that a reward is offered for your apprehension?'' |
34146 | ''But where is the corp?'' 34146 ''Even your father?'' |
34146 | ''I know it; but what care I? 34146 ''Is not yon a light, sir?'' |
34146 | ''Square,''he cried, in a voice bordering on anger,''is this what I expected from you? 34146 ''Why, then, should you trust yourself alone with two armed men?'' |
34146 | A bargain be''t,quoth Willie;"will the morn do?" |
34146 | An''ye hae been travellin too, I daresay? |
34146 | An''your mother? |
34146 | And do you really say, doctor,inquired the farmer,"that ye have suffered a''this in a Christian land, even in this city? |
34146 | And if he were,replied Carey, as he twinkled his grey eye, unmoved, in the face of the youth,"what would ye do, young Master o''Riddlestain? |
34146 | And so, my dear lads, you wish me to relate my passage with the Caterans of Lochloy? |
34146 | And wha, Papist or heretic, could stand yon sight wi''dry een? |
34146 | And what am I to do when I come back? |
34146 | And what''s more? |
34146 | And you anticipate no very formidable ones on the part of your daughter? |
34146 | Are ye ready for anither dance? |
34146 | Before it was written, man? |
34146 | Bertha? |
34146 | But what has brought you again frae Riddlestain, at this late hour? |
34146 | But where is Wat Scott? |
34146 | But who or what is the water- wraith? |
34146 | But will your faither, think ye, hae nae objections to my comin? |
34146 | But ye''ll hae mair than that ane, nae doot? |
34146 | Can it be possible? 34146 Can ye be sae cruel as doubt me, Judith?" |
34146 | Cumberland-- and where is the county like it? 34146 Did Jessie tell you this herself, Will?" |
34146 | Did you never see him again, father? |
34146 | Do n''t you? |
34146 | Do ye fin''_ that_? |
34146 | How do you do, Mr Harrison? |
34146 | How do you fend wi''your fiddle? 34146 I will be with you presently, Thomas,"replied who? |
34146 | Is she a bit red- cheeked, dark ee''d, and dark- haired lassie, about nineteen or twenty? |
34146 | Is the creature not down in that dreadful basin of pitchy waters? |
34146 | Is there naebody''ll tak me out for a reel? |
34146 | Judith,said Gemmel, breaking the silence, and raising her hand from her bosom, with which she concealed the watch,"where got ye thae braw ornaments? |
34146 | Judith,said her father,"speak to me, bairn-- wha has done this? |
34146 | Know you aught of this extraordinary being, Carey? |
34146 | Know you what has been done, Carey? |
34146 | Man or woman? |
34146 | My friend, what mean you?--what means my father? |
34146 | Now, laird, what wull ye drink? |
34146 | Ony law- pleas in the win''''enow, laird-- eh? |
34146 | Pray, what is that objection? |
34146 | Saw you no one by the way? |
34146 | Then you were moved by the fate of poor Hamilton, Carey? |
34146 | They''ll be here belyve,replied Willie, and added,"Ye''ll no be blin, frien?" |
34146 | Thus far only on your way, Carey? |
34146 | Was it the beadsman? 34146 Was ye wantin ane?" |
34146 | Weel, ye wad revise the condescendence after that, I fancy? |
34146 | Wha in a''the world''s this? |
34146 | What do you mean, Gemmel? |
34146 | What ken ye? |
34146 | What mean you, Henry? |
34146 | What more, man? 34146 What think ye o''my law, noo, ye puir empty pretender?" |
34146 | What''s a''this o''t, sirs? |
34146 | What''s brought ye here, man, when the king needs thee? |
34146 | What''s that? |
34146 | What''s the matter wi''ye, Tam, that ye''re derned that gate into the throat o''a moss- hole? 34146 What, father?" |
34146 | When wilt thou return? |
34146 | Wherefore should I fly? |
34146 | Whither drive you, man, as if the mistress of Darnick waited for ye to take your dinner off the best heifer in our enemy Home''s parks? |
34146 | Whither has he gone? |
34146 | Who said that I was at Falconcleugh this night? |
34146 | Why are you here, man,he said,"and your master collecting his clan yonder for treason against his lawful sovereign?" |
34146 | Will you, then, my dear sir,added Sir John,"be kind enough to go to Miss Harrison and break this matter to her, and I will wait your return?" |
34146 | Wull ye tak a drap o''cauld straik, or wad ye hae ony objection to a warm browst? |
34146 | Wull_ that_ stan, then? |
34146 | You have got a good awmous, Carey, will sleep sound, and think nothing of it on the morrow? |
34146 | After a few minutes, he turned to me--''Am I not the most guilty of men,''he said,''and deservedly the most wretched? |
34146 | And was ye really not an atheist or a deist, doctor, as the people gied ye out to be?" |
34146 | And without waiting for an answer, about which he seemed very indifferent, he added,"and how do you like it, Jeanie?" |
34146 | Andrew''s?" |
34146 | Are you prepared?" |
34146 | Art thou not satisfied? |
34146 | At last, old Janet found utterance in these words, pronounced in a quavering and almost inarticulate voice,"In the name of God, who or what art thou?" |
34146 | Aweel, what did Mr Quirkum say or do, think ye, on my expressin mysel this way? |
34146 | But by what process of thought can we bring experience to bear on the world of the dead? |
34146 | But how did ye get through the night?" |
34146 | But isna your weddin folks lang o''comin?" |
34146 | But what was to be done? |
34146 | But what,"he added,"if Sir John should come in upon us? |
34146 | But where, mother, am I to find that woman? |
34146 | But who can recall the past, or the dead from their appointment? |
34146 | Captain,''he continued,''you have dealt with me kindly and considerately; would you make me your debtor still farther? |
34146 | Carey; heard ye not a noise?" |
34146 | Dear Hugh, I did n''t mean to grieve you; but who can look on yon suffering innocent creature, and speak but as the feelings dictate?'' |
34146 | Did not your first perceptions of the full compass of your nature come upon you at once? |
34146 | Did ye really no turn back again?--or what did ye do wi''your last penny? |
34146 | Didna ye think the drum o''yer ear would crack wi''the sound?" |
34146 | Do ye mak onything o''a guid leevin o''t?" |
34146 | Do you agree to accompany me?'' |
34146 | From St Andrews, if I can judge from your allusion to the sad doings of to- day in that part?" |
34146 | Hae ye ever heard the story o''the kelpie that wons in the Conan?" |
34146 | Has yer faither found a heart to lay his fingers on the treasures in the silver jug?" |
34146 | Have you any recollection of carrying away out of my house, on the last night you were here, a pocketful of cheese and cold beef?" |
34146 | He wadna like maybe a''thegither to see a stranger wi''ye?" |
34146 | Her affections, I hope, are not pre- engaged?" |
34146 | How, in a''the world, did ye manage to lay it out?'' |
34146 | I am myself in danger; and would know if you met any one on the road to- night, ere you came up to me?" |
34146 | I answered,''can it be-- do I see Ranald More?'' |
34146 | I ask any one of my readers, male and female, Was it not thus with you? |
34146 | I blush for the weakness you have witnessed in me; but what man in his folly ever threw from him such a treasure as I have lost, and lost for ever?'' |
34146 | I cried,''are you Ranald More?'' |
34146 | I''ll dance wi''baith o''them-- an''what for no?" |
34146 | Is it really true, Sir John, or are ye jesting?" |
34146 | Is it the manners o''you gentry to break in where ye are uninvited? |
34146 | Is the custom of watching beside the dead of remote antiquity in this part of the country?" |
34146 | Judith, will ye speak wi''me?" |
34146 | Lady, that ring?'' |
34146 | May I take the liberty to ask why thou''rt not with the followers of the prince?" |
34146 | My acquaintance is with your nephew, Captain H----, of the Eliza: can you inform me when you expect him in town?'' |
34146 | O Judith, woman!--wha is the flatterer noo? |
34146 | Od, thocht he, what can be taking the laird frae hame sae late as this? |
34146 | Saw ye my messenger?" |
34146 | See you these limbs, and this countenance? |
34146 | So, say the word-- will ye go wi''me, or will ye not?" |
34146 | Tell me Henry, am I betrayed by one of whom neither you nor I can deserve better? |
34146 | The Church is a kind mother to her children; yet, has not this gift been as yet useless to me? |
34146 | The elder was a wee fear- stricken at first, as wha wadna? |
34146 | The sun abune''s no what he seems, Nor is the night''s fair queen; Then wha kens wha the minstrel is That''s wooin bonny Jean?" |
34146 | Then drawing her hand over her eyes--"When is this wo and watching to cease?--when may I own my kindred, my love, and my faith?" |
34146 | These, however, at length helped him to a knowledge of the fact; and, when they had done so--"Ho, ho, laird, are_ ye_ here?" |
34146 | Wha are ye after wi''the loose rein and the bloody spur?" |
34146 | What am I to do? |
34146 | What are ye fechtin aboot, ye auld fules?" |
34146 | What could this mean? |
34146 | What is it you mean, Sir John?" |
34146 | What ken ye mair o''him? |
34146 | What may come of this, when our enemies are ranging the land with the fiery faggot?" |
34146 | What say ye-- flight or flaught, an exile or an eizel?" |
34146 | What''s the creature doing amang the trees o''the howe at this time o''nicht?" |
34146 | When he had concluded,"Well, good folks all,"he said,"what think ye of my song?" |
34146 | Where is the martyr''s treatise on the saving efficacy of faith? |
34146 | Where then were the cares of the great world, which has absorbed this one? |
34146 | Why? |
34146 | Will you now introduce me in my new character to your daughter? |
34146 | Will you promise?" |
34146 | Will you, if I am forced to fly my country, accompany me as my wife?" |
34146 | Yet why did the beadsman avoid the subject, and not offer satisfaction on a matter of importance to any one possessed of a spark of humanity? |
34146 | You have endangered your life to save mine-- what stronger claim could you have on my everlasting gratitude? |
34146 | Your pardon will restore me to myself; and can you refuse to grant it?'' |
34146 | are you man or monster?" |
34146 | cried Peter;"what the mischief do ye mean? |
34146 | cried the farmer;"for what, I would like to ken? |
34146 | do ye mind o''thae things, and where are they noo?" |
34146 | do ye really say so?" |
34146 | exclaimed the latter, stretching out his hand to the person he addressed;"and how do you do, Miss Harrison?" |
34146 | exclaimed the stranger;"what have I done? |
34146 | he exclaimed, hastily glancing to each as he spoke,"what means this?" |
34146 | is not that enough?" |
34146 | is that the affair?" |
34146 | replied he, sarcastically;"did ye expect company? |
34146 | responded Peter;"thirty pounds a- year!--and was that a''? |
34146 | returned the youth;"think ye, Judith, I am not able to defend myself and you against any man? |
34146 | said Jeanie;"wha ever heard o''a fiddler preferring a kiss to half- a- crown?" |
34146 | said he;"for if there''s a fight at Darnick, will the Laird of Darnick not be expected to be in the thickest of it?" |
34146 | she said;''it''s no there-- where is the corp?'' |
34146 | she sighed,"but a wandering life is a pleasant life; and, if I were to gang wi''ye, would ye aye be kind to me, and love me as you do now?" |
34146 | shouted Lussha Fleckie,"is that the welcome ye gie to strangers? |
34146 | what did ye do?" |
34146 | what would Wat Scott do with a king? |
34146 | what''s this o''t?--what''s this o''t? |
34146 | who have we got here?'' |
34146 | ye hae dune what has made my heart miserable, and what will mak yer ain as miserable?" |
29030 | ''And who is that?'' 29030 ''For Amelia?'' |
29030 | ''Francis,''she said, as she shut the door,''what is this? 29030 ''Well,''said he,''if that is the case, why not throw it away like a man, among men? |
29030 | ''What is wrong, master?'' 29030 ''What means this?'' |
29030 | ''Whither going?'' 29030 An''wha''s to bring up the bairn?" |
29030 | An''what got ye frae him? |
29030 | An''wherefore no tell me the noo, Florence? |
29030 | And Agitha? |
29030 | And can you forget the past, Charles? |
29030 | And think ye that ye could assemble the hundred men ye speak o''there, on this night fortnight? |
29030 | And to whom, sir, is it let, may I ask? 29030 And where were the mighty offence, though a Cameron should aspire so high as to love the sister of Macpherson?" |
29030 | Are you von of de cadies? |
29030 | But whar got ye the bairn, man? |
29030 | But who can tell how my master got Lillah-- that''s her there with these dark eyes-- his first wife? 29030 Do not my ears deceive me? |
29030 | Do you live in de neighbourhood? |
29030 | Do you see ony thing aboot me to produce ony doubt o''my ability or my secrecy? |
29030 | Doots winna do,said she;"will ye try it?" |
29030 | Douglas,said I, wondering at his long silence,"are you hurt?" |
29030 | For what reason, Geordie? |
29030 | Has Lady Maitland not been in the habit of employing you, then, Geordie? |
29030 | Hast thou finished, Louise? |
29030 | Have you yet recovered from the effects of your misfortunes? |
29030 | Have you,he continued,"forgotten my injunctions?" |
29030 | Hoots, Florence,said Janet, in a tone partaking of reproach and alarm,"are ye gaun to be as daft as my mother? |
29030 | How did I do it? 29030 How did you do it?" |
29030 | How do you feel now? |
29030 | How much is that? |
29030 | How much money dost thou require? |
29030 | How was that, sir? |
29030 | I know you now,she said, gaining courage;"your name is Jones, is it not?" |
29030 | I want my Leddy Maitland,answered Geordie--"are ye her leddyship?" |
29030 | Is Lady Maitland no awa wi''Sir Marmaduke, Geordie? |
29030 | Madam,he replied,"where else could I be happy, with such a stigma on my character? |
29030 | No,replied I;"pray, Francis, I need not ask which of these two pictured beauties is Amelia, my patient? |
29030 | Of what is it he speaks? |
29030 | Oh, oh,said our gallant captain,"is that your play, old boy? |
29030 | Shall the blood of my brother,he cried"stain the floor of his father? |
29030 | Tell me, Florence,said Madge,"what mean ye by''bide a wee?'' |
29030 | That name, dear heart, which is the tenderest man can bestow on woman? |
29030 | To- morrow night, then,said Brodie,"at eight o''clock, at the resting- stone at the top of the Leith Lone; knowest thou the place?" |
29030 | Vat, in the name of God, is de meaning of dis fellow''s demand? 29030 Vell, can you tell me if a young woman, carrying the name of Jessie Varriston, lives up dat stair?" |
29030 | Was I, did you say? 29030 Weel, Madge,"inquired they,"and, since ye are come, for what hae ye brought us here?" |
29030 | Well, Florence,said one,"what are ye waiting for? |
29030 | Wha did?--wha promised to be here? |
29030 | Wha may ye be waitin''for? |
29030 | Whar hae ye been, man, and what is this ye hae in your airms? |
29030 | What did Mr. Bernard do,asked I,"to bring upon him this judgment which appears to you to have been so fearful?" |
29030 | What do you want here, sir? |
29030 | What have they done? |
29030 | What is it? |
29030 | What is the matter, Douglas? |
29030 | What name? |
29030 | What poison did you say? |
29030 | Where are Miss Julia and my brother? |
29030 | Where, where is she? |
29030 | Wherefore,she inquired,"does my hero sigh, and why sits heaviness on the brightness of his face? |
29030 | Who am I? |
29030 | Who are you? |
29030 | Who called me? 29030 Who is that? |
29030 | ''Lady, what are you afraid of, that you have left the cabin?'' |
29030 | ''Ou, I thank ye,''said I, and I blushed in a way--''why should ye gie me it?'' |
29030 | ''Wha is off?'' |
29030 | ''What good can be expected from such company as we were in last night?'' |
29030 | ''Why has her stay been so short this trip?'' |
29030 | ''Why should I bear this weary load of life?'' |
29030 | And can sadness dwell upon thy soul? |
29030 | And now, what am I? |
29030 | And, although baith my faither and mother said to me, as I was gaun out--''Where are ye gaun, lassie?'' |
29030 | Are such youthful enchantments realities in the condition of man? |
29030 | Are we fallen so low that a Cameron shall despise us? |
29030 | Are you all asleep?'' |
29030 | Art not thou renowned in song as the warrior of the dauntless heart and the resistless sword? |
29030 | Art not thou the envy of princes-- the beloved of the people-- the admired by the daughters of kings? |
29030 | At length she inquired--"When go ye back to sell provisions to them again?" |
29030 | At length they broke silence--''Willie, Willie, what''s come owre us now?'' |
29030 | But what shall become of Caleb and Mira?'' |
29030 | But why dwell longer upon these moments of agony? |
29030 | But would they allow me this indulgence, think you? |
29030 | But, offending no one, and interfering with no one, how have I been treated in my turn? |
29030 | But, to drop all metaphor-- where will you find a flower more interesting than a spinster of threescore and ten, of sixty, of fifty, or of forty? |
29030 | But, what of all this? |
29030 | Can I say I hae yer leddyship''s pardon?" |
29030 | Can Louise Grecourt not satisfy a fellow like you?" |
29030 | Can there be a doubt she was the cause of all? |
29030 | Can you not, father?" |
29030 | Canst thou execute his desire? |
29030 | Captain Rose,"said I,"what noise is that?" |
29030 | Daur ye no trust me? |
29030 | Did n''t you see the ticket at the entrance, forbidding all strangers to come here?" |
29030 | Do n''t you see the daughter in the mother and the mother in the daughter? |
29030 | Do ye agree to it?" |
29030 | Do you know vere he lives?" |
29030 | Do you really forgive me?" |
29030 | Do you understand Latin thoroughly?--that is, can you translate it readily?" |
29030 | Has my husband told you anything?'' |
29030 | Hast thou dared to mention love-- even to think of love for the sister of Macpherson?" |
29030 | Hast_ thou_ so dared?" |
29030 | Have you as many lives as a cat that you can afford to throw away_ one_ in such a foolish manner?'' |
29030 | Have you forgot your vows?" |
29030 | He pointed to the new- made grave? |
29030 | Him, a wanderer and an outcast, what maid could ever love? |
29030 | His bonnet alone was like that of other men; for what could a true highlander substitute for the blue bonnet? |
29030 | How are you to redeem the debts you have incurred, and others you must yet incur, but by new engagements? |
29030 | How can I ever repay you?" |
29030 | How did ye let sic a bargain slip through your fingers?'' |
29030 | How say you? |
29030 | I do not weary you?" |
29030 | I mean, sir, what is his business?" |
29030 | I see your leddyship''s inclined to laugh too-- eh?" |
29030 | I shall cry; and wha dare follow my example?" |
29030 | I wish to carry off the girl, Jessie Warriston, to- morrow night-- canst thou assist me in that enterprise?" |
29030 | I''m thinking she''ll be a granddochter o''Widow Willison''s-- dinna ye think sae yersel''?" |
29030 | Is it necessary to say more? |
29030 | Is not the Lord of the Sabbath the Creator of the sea as well as of the dry land? |
29030 | Is the old woman, your mother, living yet?'' |
29030 | Is there a concerted project amongst ony o''ye, an''are ye waiting for an opportunity to carry it into effect?" |
29030 | Janet blushed, and again added--"But there is something mair between ye than that, Florence, and why should ye hide it frae me?" |
29030 | John Crawford, some of your blood have embraced the stake for the sake of the truth, and will ye profane the Sabbath which they sanctified? |
29030 | Know ye not that ye are now braving the wrath of him before whom the mighty ocean is a drop, and all space but a span? |
29030 | May I hope? |
29030 | Mr. Stewart, is that you? |
29030 | Nay, I do hope; but, may I call you by that name?" |
29030 | Or must Ewan Macpherson flatter himself that his sister''s charms have also had some slight influence in producing these rapturous emotions?" |
29030 | See,"added she,"do ye see wha yon is, skulking as far as he can get frae our door wi''the weel- filled sack upon his shouthers? |
29030 | She for whose love I broke a father''s heart and betrayed a brother''s confidence, has been torn from me; and what more have I to live for here?'' |
29030 | She must have cherished it, or why identify it as her own? |
29030 | So we said nae mair for some time; but he keepit walking by my side, and at last he said--''What do ye think o''this posie?'' |
29030 | Take an example:--"Whar hae ye been the day, Geordie?" |
29030 | Then turning to her mother, he added--"An''what may be yer plan, that I may communicate it to them that I ken to be zealous in oor country''s cause?" |
29030 | Then,"Would you like to be a rich man, Bobby?" |
29030 | This ye swear?" |
29030 | Vat you vant vit her ladyship? |
29030 | Walter, then,''says I,''why didna ye do it? |
29030 | Was it not all between me and master? |
29030 | Was it remarkable that they should do so on that evening? |
29030 | Was it wonderful that I loved her? |
29030 | Was there ever a meeting under such circumstances? |
29030 | Was you still kind to her while you watched the effect of your draught?" |
29030 | Well, gentlemen, how was I rewarded for this charitable conduct, think you? |
29030 | Well, gentlemen, what do you think was the result? |
29030 | Wha has strength o''head, even for a moment, to look doun frae the dark and dizzy height o''the Wolf''s Crag?--and wha could think o''scaling it? |
29030 | What can detain the lubbers, think you?'' |
29030 | What is''t that ye fear? |
29030 | What on earth have I now to care for? |
29030 | When ye see lords and gentry in the pay o''England, and takin its part, what can the like o''you or my mother do?" |
29030 | Where am I? |
29030 | Where is the grand project that ye was to lay before us?" |
29030 | Which of these fair creatures on the wall was the proprietor of this brochure? |
29030 | Who can he be? |
29030 | Who other could know of it? |
29030 | Will ye draw down everlasting darkness on the Sabbath of your soul? |
29030 | Will ye gang, or will ye hang?" |
29030 | Will ye, then, glory in insulting his ordinances, and delight in profaning the day of holiness? |
29030 | Will you walk on?" |
29030 | Would it pierce the breast that suckled thee?--the breast of her that bore thee?" |
29030 | Would you believe it? |
29030 | You do not know den de girl''s history, do you not?" |
29030 | Your name, sir?" |
29030 | added the maiden, in a low and agitated voice--"what could poor Florence do? |
29030 | ask ye an oath from a king, the descendant of Woden? |
29030 | by the beasts?'' |
29030 | cried he,"can I enter heaven with my hand bloody? |
29030 | dost thou disdain to answer the chief of the Macphersons? |
29030 | exclaimed Jones;"why do you persecute me so?" |
29030 | hae ye been sic an idiot?'' |
29030 | he cried, gazing wistfully in her face--"but, where-- where am I?--and my bairnies, where are they?" |
29030 | he said--''for the murderer of my Lillah, my first love, my angel?'' |
29030 | hoo lang will ye boo before the hand that strikes ye, or kiss the foot that tramples on ye? |
29030 | said I, as I madly paced the shore,''when one bold plunge would bury it for ever?'' |
29030 | said I, with a look of mingled amazement and disappointment--"because I understand Latin? |
29030 | said I,''do you remember the words ye wrote in the Bible, and the vows that ye made me by the side of the Blackadder?'' |
29030 | said he, and he laughed,''you are there, are you? |
29030 | said he,''my old girl, are you still alive? |
29030 | said he;"where may I be before to- morrow? |
29030 | said the young stranger;''we want hands-- will you ship?'' |
29030 | said they,''has the old villain limed his birds already? |
29030 | she rejoined;"what are ye, then? |
29030 | tell me the truth,''said he:''am I not dying?'' |
29030 | what are ye sayin?" |
29030 | what seekest thou with Moran of the Wild?" |
29030 | what shall we do?" |
29030 | when wilt thou end? |
29030 | would you forsake me? |
26962 | ''And wha was that bonny lassie,''asked I,''that gaed in just the now?'' 26962 ''Certainly,''says I;''do ye think I would pay onybody money without one?'' |
26962 | ''Has that man spoken about paying ye?'' 26962 ''If it isna my business, Nicholas,''said she,''I would like to ken whase business it is? |
26962 | ''Sir,''said they to me, as haughtily as if I had been a criminal before them;''wherefore do ye refuse to pay the ninety pounds?'' 26962 ''Very true, dearie,''said I;''but ye wouldna have me to speak abruptly to the gentleman, or to affront him?'' |
26962 | ''Wha lives there, dearies?'' 26962 ''What the mischief are ye muttering at?'' |
26962 | ''Yes, I''ve got my money,''says I,''but, dear me, Nancy, what business is it o''yours whether I have got my money or no?'' 26962 And hae ye gien your consent, Robin?" |
26962 | And what art thou, that''s creeping into an old body''s dark den, and leaving ahint thee the guid sunshine? |
26962 | And what mean they by that? |
26962 | And what say you to yourself, to whom I owe the safety of my Eugene? |
26962 | Are ye sure it''s him, dame? |
26962 | Are you distracted, George? |
26962 | Art there at last, love? |
26962 | But isna your freen himsel lang o''makin his appearance? |
26962 | But oh, sir,said Agnes,"where are they now-- baith o my bairns-- as you say I have twa? |
26962 | But wha, in the Devil''s name, are ye? |
26962 | But whar''s your freen, himsel? |
26962 | But what means that dreadful noise in Eugene''s cell? |
26962 | Dear father,said William,"have you forgot your old friend and associate in arms-- my best of friends?" |
26962 | Did I not tell thee, Mr Mayor,he cried,"that I killed Patrick Hume? |
26962 | Do you know whose wedding it is? |
26962 | Hae I no tasted his_ red whisky_; and has it no burned my throat till I maun ask Marion there to quench the fire wi''a spark o''human- liquor? |
26962 | Has Graham come back so soon? |
26962 | Has he no been wi''ye? |
26962 | Hast lost thine ancient spirit, Rob Paterson? |
26962 | Have you any objection to try? |
26962 | How high tower they? |
26962 | If this is not my old master whom I see,said the man,"who can he be? |
26962 | Indeed!--what is it, William? |
26962 | Is it far? |
26962 | Is not his doom inevitable? 26962 Is not that Ballochgray Castle?" |
26962 | Know you aught of Henry Seaton? |
26962 | Macdonald, what is this? |
26962 | Oh, how can you say so? |
26962 | Pray, sir, when saw you him last? 26962 Robie, my captain,"said I,"wherefore are ye looking sae dour? |
26962 | Roger,she cried,"hae ye seen onything o''Robie?" |
26962 | Then the bits o''dear creatures would hae come runnin''ben to me, and asked--''Faither, when will the web be ready?'' 26962 Tuts, woman; what''s the use o''that?" |
26962 | Wallace? 26962 Well, Hughie,"said I to him, holding out my hand for the papers,"ye look dull like to- day; I hope ye have no bad news?" |
26962 | What are you doing? |
26962 | What can this mean? |
26962 | What could he be doing to Widow Lindsay? |
26962 | What do ye think? 26962 What grieves thee, man? |
26962 | What hae ye, a puir hind, to do wi''the Baron o''Ballochgray? 26962 What has occurred?" |
26962 | What has she got? |
26962 | What have ye made of Robie? |
26962 | What is the matter, George? |
26962 | What is the meaning o''a''this, Geordie, man? |
26962 | What is this crowd collecting for, so early this morning? |
26962 | What, in God''s name, is this, Christy? 26962 Where do you mean to stay,"resumed William,"until the vessel sails?" |
26962 | Where is she? |
26962 | Where shall I find my father? |
26962 | Who was your master? |
26962 | Why wo n''t drink, Will Pearson, mine good old crony? |
26962 | Wilt thou, Christy Lowry, pledge thine old friend? |
26962 | Wilt thou, Meg Johnston, empty this flask to the health of thy old friend? |
26962 | Young man,said he,"that ring was once the property of my friend: how came you by it? |
26962 | ''Shall I kill her?'' |
26962 | Agnes uttered a piercing scream, and cried,"O my bairn-- what has happened my bairn? |
26962 | Amongst other mysteries, was that involved in the query-- where did he get his money? |
26962 | And as well do I remember her impatient and piteous inquiry--"Where is my Robie?--Oh, where is my son?--hae ye no seen him?" |
26962 | And was it so? |
26962 | And wilt thou not pledge thy old friend in a half flask-- the maiden''s bumper?" |
26962 | And, simple man as I was--''Sir,''said I,''what is it that ye mean? |
26962 | Are ye not aware that I detest and abhor them? |
26962 | Before the Virgin, Rob? |
26962 | Broken on her wheel? |
26962 | But after looking at it for a moment, he held it up between his finger and thumb, and wi''a kind o''sarcastic laugh, inquired--''Where is the stamp?'' |
26962 | But have you thought of the expense? |
26962 | But whar are we journeying to? |
26962 | But whar''ll ye put the lad?" |
26962 | But what comes thou here for to torment an auld body like me, wi''greeting and groaning at my time o''life? |
26962 | But what in a wife are birth or fortune to me? |
26962 | But what noise is that, Kitty? |
26962 | But, dear me, Mr Lawson, are ye dead or living, that ye tak nae tent o''what''s going on?" |
26962 | Colonel Henry Seaton was an intimate acquaintance of mine-- have I the pleasure of seeing his son?" |
26962 | Come, dame-- what ails?" |
26962 | Cuffed by fortune? |
26962 | Did ye tell him, that if ye took his bill ye would carry the discount to his next account?'' |
26962 | Didna ye hear the sound o''carriage wheels?" |
26962 | Do ye wish to drive me mad?'' |
26962 | Do you intend to affront me? |
26962 | Do you suppose I have nothing to attend to but your account?'' |
26962 | Does Mr M. fix his fine expressive eyes on you as often and as intensely as he used to do? |
26962 | Dost forget, good widow, that, when I was last here, thou and Meg Johnston would have fought for a can of it, if I had not made the can two? |
26962 | For what am I responsible?'' |
26962 | Has all intercourse ceased between him and Miss Cunningham? |
26962 | Has ony o''the French, concealed aboot the moors, shot ye already?'' |
26962 | Have I not said that to ye again and again?--and yet ye will repeat them in my hearing? |
26962 | Have ye got a receipt from him?'' |
26962 | He is said to have answered,"Gentlemen, I am here; but what are you going to do with me?" |
26962 | His father and mother, what were they then doing, thinking, suffering? |
26962 | Ho, man, had not we a jolly time of it last time we met? |
26962 | How shall I appear before Him, covered with the blood of his creatures? |
26962 | I am the wife o''your bosom-- the mother o''your family-- am I not? |
26962 | I can do baith; and what mair me than another?" |
26962 | I could not get a word out of him, save that in answer to a question--"Are ye Mr Barlowman''s substitute?" |
26962 | I wonder where they are going to after breakfast? |
26962 | If not, where is he now, and he the Lord Ross of Foulden, and he of Paxton, and all the rest of the Border heroes? |
26962 | Is Mr Swanston sic a villain? |
26962 | Is he come?" |
26962 | Is it an auctioneer''s, for a roup o''furniture or a sale o''stock?'' |
26962 | Is n''t that enough?" |
26962 | Is that document, in the handwriting o''the man himsel'', not proof positive that I have paid the money?'' |
26962 | It is a hard maiter that a body canna stir out owre the door but ye maun ask--''where hae ye been?'' |
26962 | Knowest that a day is fixed for Captain Wallace being my_ legal_ governor?" |
26962 | Oh, curse upon the hand that fired the shot? |
26962 | Oh, my bairn, my bairn!--what brocht ye here the day?" |
26962 | On his entering--"Well, Mr Adair,"said the latter,"what does your good lady say to my becoming a boarder with her?" |
26962 | On his second disappearance, the point was no longer a moot one,"Who the devil he could be?" |
26962 | On the party having got out of their chaises--"Is this your freen''s house, Mr Mowbray?" |
26962 | Remorse again roused him; and, turning his head, he inquired who William was? |
26962 | She is in heaven; and will you say that that is worse than death?" |
26962 | Tell me, is my Robie dead?" |
26962 | That Henry Seaton was his father, William earnestly prayed; but how was he to ascertain this fact? |
26962 | The time-- the time-- when is the day?" |
26962 | Wallace?" |
26962 | Was he in good health?" |
26962 | Was it Patrick Hume, saidst thou? |
26962 | Whar drives the man, Geordie? |
26962 | What day is fixed? |
26962 | What did Marion Webster ever do in this warld to bring upon her this warst and last o''the evils o''mortals?" |
26962 | What do ye ken aboot him? |
26962 | What do ye mean to be after?" |
26962 | What does Mr Thompson and his sons want?'' |
26962 | What hath that spare figure, made of dry wood, to do with the mellow fuddling of our noses? |
26962 | What if a rebel vapour cometh over the queen of heaven that night thou art to make me free? |
26962 | What in the name of fortune, has a peaceable man like you to do wi''war or wi''Bonaparte either? |
26962 | What is it that ye wish to be after?--what would ye have me to do?'' |
26962 | What say you to this, Mr Adair?" |
26962 | What was now to be done? |
26962 | What would your friend say to such a cavalcade of visiters?" |
26962 | When art thou to free me from the Governor''s love and surveillance, good Patrick? |
26962 | When the party had seated themselves--"Shall I serve up some refreshment, sir?" |
26962 | When, in God''s name, will he tak flight? |
26962 | Where could he be from? |
26962 | Where could he be going to? |
26962 | Where did it come from? |
26962 | Where shall I find them?" |
26962 | Where, or how am I simple?'' |
26962 | Who imposes upon me?--who dare?--tell me that!--I say tell me that?'' |
26962 | Who in all the world will tell Nancy?'' |
26962 | Who would have said this two years ago? |
26962 | Why do ye bring it to me?'' |
26962 | Why should I deny it? |
26962 | Will I admit it? |
26962 | Will the men no interfere?" |
26962 | Will ye marry a taupie that has nae recommendation but a doll''s face, and bring shame and sorrow to your door?'' |
26962 | Will you still venture on it?" |
26962 | Wilt thou consent to be the lady of the Baron of Ballochgray?" |
26962 | Would you believe any or all of these things, if I were to assert them to be true? |
26962 | Ye dinna tak a''the world to be rogues?'' |
26962 | Yet who shall say, that the hearts or spirits of the inhabitants of this extraordinary town lost either blood or buoyancy from their misfortunes? |
26962 | You can get it cashed, you know, and it is only minus the discount, and that is not much upon your profits, eh?'' |
26962 | Young man, you just now called me father-- where, for mercy''s sake tell me, did you get that ring?" |
26962 | and Betty too?--what loss hast thou sustained? |
26962 | and the haly book? |
26962 | and what means the carriage?" |
26962 | answered the stranger,"does Rob Paterson ask a man who is introduced by this friend of noble red- blood, who he is? |
26962 | cried Agnes, grasping my arm,"what do ye fear?" |
26962 | cried I, striking my hand upon the table, as though I had been an emperor,''what in the name o''wonder do ye mean? |
26962 | cried I,''have ye really the cruelty and injustice to say that I am to pay that money owre again?'' |
26962 | cried I,''is that possible? |
26962 | cried I;''what in the earthly globe have I to do wi''that? |
26962 | help Christy Lowry in this her trial and temptation?" |
26962 | here they come, only fancy, it''s Christina Cunningham, and-- Who? |
26962 | man, art going to die? |
26962 | or what he would be at? |
26962 | or"Why do ye this?" |
26962 | said I,''what sort o''a bill, sir? |
26962 | said I;"he''s not been with me: have none of you an idea where he can have gone?" |
26962 | said he,"is this no dismal?" |
26962 | said his mother;"who does that mean?" |
26962 | said, I,''what need ye mind? |
26962 | says I,''what''s the matter wi''ye?--has onything happened?'' |
26962 | shall I ever see you again?" |
26962 | what does the woman mean? |
26962 | what is that?" |
26962 | what means?" |
26962 | what would be my triumph? |
26962 | where have ye been?--how could ye leave your mother?'' |
26962 | why did ye die? |
30711 | An''hae ye come frae there the day? |
30711 | An''maype he''ll pe teukit twa; I''ll no say is no pe tree; And what although it should pe four? 30711 An''my fifty pounds?" |
30711 | And hae ye,said the maiden, addressing the laird,"preferred the gallows to poor Meg without even seeing her?" |
30711 | And pray, Harry, what sort of a consort will you sail with yourself? |
30711 | And wha are ye, young woman? |
30711 | And what, in your wisdom,said he sharply,"do ye think it would hae been-- the wife or the wuddy?" |
30711 | And wherefore has Lady Murray sent you here? |
30711 | And who is the''auld lurdon?'' |
30711 | And, pray, who or what was Donald Gorm? |
30711 | Are they murdered? |
30711 | Ay, man, an''ye come frae B----, do ye? |
30711 | But I fancy ane o''the lurdons will satisfy yer Lordship,said Will,"or do ye want them a''lodged in Grà ¦ me''s Tower? |
30711 | But how apply the remark? |
30711 | But how,I inquired,"have the better clergy rendered themselves obnoxious to Burns? |
30711 | But would not some of your companions above,I asked,"deem the scene as much an error of nature as Burnet himself? |
30711 | Can he be other,he said,"than a good and benevolent God, who gives us moments like these to enjoy? |
30711 | Can you furnish me with a copy of Burns''Poems,I said,"either for love or money?" |
30711 | Can you tell me aught of the Burnses of Lochlea? |
30711 | Can you tell me aught,said the north country gentleman, addressing my companion,"of Mr. R----, the chapel minister in K----? |
30711 | Can you''ll spoke Gaelic, then? |
30711 | Come to me, lassie-- come and tell me a'',cried the old lady;"what message does Willie Scott send to his heart- broken mother?" |
30711 | Countryman,said one who appeared to be their leader,"can you inform us where the army of Montrose is encamped?" |
30711 | Did he come originally from Dunse? |
30711 | Do I rightly understand you? |
30711 | Do they dream of sinking you into a common man? |
30711 | Do you seriously think so? |
30711 | Has Philip not come back? |
30711 | Have I not been for three months tortured with these sounds, which I attributed to evil spirits? 30711 Have I not heard you remark, father,"said Gilbert"that the change you describe has been very marked among the ministers of our church?" |
30711 | How can I discontinue a medicine offered to me by the hands of a husband, without being able to give any reason for rejecting his kindness? 30711 I care naething about the cruelty,"cried he;"what mercy did ever a Scott among them show to me or to mine? |
30711 | If I''m designed yon lordling''s slave-- By nature''s law designed-- Why was an independent wish E''er planted in my mind? 30711 In his circumstances?" |
30711 | In troth am I,she replied,"an''do ye prefer the wuddy still?" |
30711 | Is it because there is ground glass in it? 30711 Is it thus that ye disgrace the name of soldiers by washing your hands in the blood of the innocent?" |
30711 | Is my Lord Steward at hame? |
30711 | Is the house yours, my Lord, or this man''s? |
30711 | It''s seldom we see strangers hereawa,said the old woman,"at this early hour-- will ye come in, sir, and rest ye?" |
30711 | Mary Campbell, did you not call her? |
30711 | Shill? 30711 Speak not o''that, sweet maiden,"said the laird;"but tell me, what says my mother? |
30711 | Tell me,cried Mowbray, eagerly;"are not you the husband of Mary Brydone?" |
30711 | The vera same,rejoined the miller;"are ye acquainted wi''him, sir?" |
30711 | To what, father,inquired my friend, who sat listening with the deepest and most respectful attention,"do you attribute the change?" |
30711 | Weel, callant,inquired the miller,"hae ye gotten the siller?" |
30711 | Well what of this cottage? |
30711 | What could all this mean? |
30711 | What do you mean? |
30711 | What do you mean?--or wha''do you mean? |
30711 | What is it that ye whisper, Simon, in the maiden''s ear? |
30711 | What is it that you want? |
30711 | What is that, my friend? |
30711 | What is this o''t? |
30711 | What mean you, good woman? |
30711 | What means this? 30711 What more do we need?" |
30711 | What news, now? |
30711 | What of it? |
30711 | What want ye, or whom seek ye, maiden? |
30711 | What would you, sir? |
30711 | What''s tat? |
30711 | When did I offend you, Philip,she added,"that I may not call you brother?" |
30711 | Where do you come fra, na-- if it be a fair question? |
30711 | Where is she, my Lord? |
30711 | Where is she?--what does she say?--or what does my Willie say? |
30711 | Where will we go, lads? 30711 Who are ye?" |
30711 | Who sent ye, maiden?--or who are ye? |
30711 | Who talks of Frank Elliot and love in the same breath? |
30711 | Who would call you brother, Philip, if I did not? |
30711 | Whom will ye send? |
30711 | Why are you so sad, brother Philip? |
30711 | Why have ye again cast yourself into the hands of the men who seek your blood? 30711 Why, was it not the birthplace of Donald Gorm?" |
30711 | Why? |
30711 | Willie,said he, with the tone of a speaking sepulchre,"hae ye heard the news?" |
30711 | Ye tak an ill season to ask it, Meg,said the knight, angrily;"but what may it be?" |
30711 | Yes,answered the man;"who is it that wishes to see him?" |
30711 | ''Oh, why should I torment my life?'' |
30711 | ''Wha can she be?'' |
30711 | ----?" |
30711 | An''hoo fares it with my puir mother?--what answer does she send?" |
30711 | An''how, think you, did He comfort me maist? |
30711 | An''what did she say to my injunction that she was never to marry again?" |
30711 | And by what means do we often find them roused to accomplish their appointed work? |
30711 | And can I do other than resist and expose him? |
30711 | And thus it begets a religion for itself;--for what else is the professional superstition of the sailor? |
30711 | And what mean ye, dame, by saying I act foolishly?" |
30711 | And who but the patriot is equal to these things? |
30711 | And, turning to the bearer of the letter, she inquired--"And what like may the leddy be, the marrying o''whom would save my Willie''s life?" |
30711 | Answer me-- hae ye taught her to forget that she is your sister?" |
30711 | Are you acquainted with Barbour?" |
30711 | At length, I looked imploringly in her face:--"Mary, is it possible that you are a slave?" |
30711 | But I say, lanlort, maype you''ll have got some prandies in the house? |
30711 | But are there none of those fine analogies, which run through the whole of nature and the whole of art, to sublime it into truth? |
30711 | But do you not think that it is possible that I could accompany ye to Elibank? |
30711 | But think ye that I look as though I bore the mark of the beast upon my forehead?" |
30711 | But who is she, my Lord?" |
30711 | But why so solitary? |
30711 | But, tell me, mother, hoo are ye here? |
30711 | Can none of you speak Gaelic?" |
30711 | Can ye deny it, sir? |
30711 | Corn and cattle had mightily improved; but what had man, the lord of the soil, become? |
30711 | Did ye ken him in Cromarty, say ye?" |
30711 | Did you''ll know any decen''public- house, where we''ll can depend on a goot tram?" |
30711 | Do ye really mean to tell me that I stand a chance o''being saved, an''that I shall see my wife an''bairns again?" |
30711 | Do you hold your life so cheap, that, in one week, ye would risk to sell it twice? |
30711 | Do you remember how he describes King Robert''s rencounter with the English knight?" |
30711 | Do you understand me, Mary?" |
30711 | Had the occurrences of that fearful night, I thought, been only a delusion-- some horrid dream or nightmare? |
30711 | Has she not left her country, her relations, her friends, her gods, for me, whom she has raised to opulence? |
30711 | Hoo did she bear the news o''being made a widow? |
30711 | How are they getting on now?" |
30711 | How could I have so much as dreamed you were within a hundred miles of me?" |
30711 | How does she bear the fate o''her son; an''hoo does she promise to avenge my death?" |
30711 | How lang do you want her lodged in Grà ¦ me''s Tower?" |
30711 | How shall I ever appear again before her and her friends? |
30711 | How shall I, myself unsupported, ever keep her from despondency? |
30711 | How?" |
30711 | I shook with fear, but he soon relieved me by asking--"Why I intended to leave so good a country for so bad a one?" |
30711 | If not, why am I subject to His cruelty and scorn? |
30711 | In him''s cheek one Heelan shill? |
30711 | Is it love?" |
30711 | Is it the doing o''t, or the dool for the doing o''t, that has the desperation in''t?" |
30711 | Is not the body better than food, and life than raiment? |
30711 | Is sic a man a meet burden for a fir wuddy, my Lord?" |
30711 | Is this the hospitality of Britain?" |
30711 | It tells me, too, it was formed not to receive-- why else does the proffered assistance of even a friend fill my whole soul with indignation? |
30711 | It''s--"''Haut awa, bite awa, Haut awa frae me, Tonal; What care I for a''your wealth, An''a''that ye can gie, Tonal?''" |
30711 | Ken ye not that if he found ye in his power, upon your life also he wad fix a ransom?" |
30711 | Lanlort, I say, what cursed stuffs is this you kive us?" |
30711 | Lindsay?" |
30711 | Looking at me wistfully, he held out his hands, and sobbed out, in a tone of despair--"Are you my friend, or are you my enemy?" |
30711 | Making ballads, you say?--with what success?" |
30711 | May I hope to gain your regard by any length of service? |
30711 | May I not calculate, as of old, on my supper and a bed?" |
30711 | Might not Durie be the spirit in another form? |
30711 | My heart tells me it was formed to bestow-- why else does every misery that I can not relieve render me wretched? |
30711 | Need we say that Mary bestowed her hand upon Edward Mowbray? |
30711 | Now, what wad ye think o''the young laird o''Harden?" |
30711 | Or why has man the will and power To make his fellow mourn?" |
30711 | She is, besides, a foreigner in our land; and who would treat the poor unprotected stranger with the dainty that has concealed in it a lurking death? |
30711 | Substitute, my friend, for this--(shall I call it unavoidable superstition?) |
30711 | Take this-- fear not-- why should love have suspicions? |
30711 | The moon is rising, Mr. Lindsay-- shall we not have a stroll together through the coppice?" |
30711 | Thou knowest the place?" |
30711 | Wha could hae told them that they were but frushing their straw an''rotten wood against the iron scales o''Leviathan? |
30711 | Wha did ye see, or what did they say?" |
30711 | Wha that has a character to lose, or a property to keep against the claims o''auld parchment, doesna ken thae fifteen auld runts? |
30711 | What do you advise?" |
30711 | What is yer choice-- a wife or the wuddy?" |
30711 | What shall I do, whither run to avoid them, since twenty miles have been to them as a flight in the air?" |
30711 | What will my beloved Eliza say? |
30711 | What wonder I should love him as my own child? |
30711 | What''s the lurdon''s name, my Lord?" |
30711 | When she is gone, I shall have a wife of whom I may not be ashamed-- yet, is she not a stranger in a foreign land? |
30711 | Where did you find them?" |
30711 | Wherefore did ye venture, or hoo got ye permission to see me? |
30711 | Who, in looking at the_ Venus de Medicis_, asks whether she be tall or short? |
30711 | Why did not this lead to an investigation, which must have exposed the whole horrid mystery of the death of the individual up stairs? |
30711 | Why more? |
30711 | Why was I, a murderer, suspected of being myself murdered? |
30711 | Why was the affair mentioned in so partial and unsatisfactory a manner? |
30711 | Will ye noo prefer to die rather than marry the lassie that ran wi''the letter to yer mother, an''without my consent brought her to see ye?" |
30711 | Will''t no, my bonnie doo?" |
30711 | You knew my father: need I say he was one of the excellent of the earth-- a man who held directly from God Almighty the patent of his honours? |
30711 | You mean, do you not, the higher and lower parties in our church? |
30711 | are you afraid to die?" |
30711 | began Claverhouse,"ye have been singing, praying, preaching, and holding conventicles.--Do ye know how Grahame of Claverhouse rewards such rebels?" |
30711 | can you''ll not spoke English, either?" |
30711 | continued Will;"in what fortress?--wha is her keeper?--whar will I tak her, and how long retain her a prisoner?" |
30711 | cried Simon,"hoo fares it wi''my dear wife an''bairns? |
30711 | cried Simon,"what is that which I hear ye say? |
30711 | cried he, starting back in astonishment--"my mother!--hoo is this?" |
30711 | do n''t you''ll know what a shill is?" |
30711 | do ye forgi''e me?" |
30711 | do you mean to insult me?" |
30711 | doesna a''the Forest,[C] and Teviotdale and Tweeddale to boot, ken that Christie''s Will is in Jedburgh jail?" |
30711 | exclaimed my cousin, hastily,"hae ye no gotten the siller? |
30711 | how shall I forgive myself? |
30711 | inquired the lady,"that speaks sae kindly to a mother, an''takes an interest in the fate o''my Willie?" |
30711 | inquired the laird;"it isna possible that ye can hae been playing me false?" |
30711 | interrupted the Covenanter--"wad ye apply siccan epithets to a bairn o''mine? |
30711 | is she also gone?" |
30711 | queys?) |
30711 | repeated the Spaniard--"and pray, my friend, what is a shill?" |
30711 | replied the young lady;"but my mother-- how will I be able to support her when you are gone, dearest Henry? |
30711 | responded Simon;"oh, are those no awful words!--and can ye still be foolhardy enough to say ye winna marry?" |
30711 | responded her mother, as in pleasant raillery--"what is the lassie heighoing at? |
30711 | said Agnes,"wherefore do ye mock me? |
30711 | said Elliot, in a tone of calm contempt;"bear it meekly, I presume? |
30711 | said Mary;"would you hide anything from your own sister?" |
30711 | said Peggy; and''Wha can she be?'' |
30711 | shill?" |
30711 | what are you dodging about?--quizzing the rig of your convoy, because they have too much light duck set to walk steadily through the water?" |
30711 | what have I done to provoke such bitter insult? |
30711 | what sort of a country is this? |
30711 | where is the pride o''the Murrays now?" |
30711 | why, is n''t he asleep all this time? |
30711 | ye dinna say sae!--is he really your faither? |
37217 | ''All''s well,''cried I;''who is at the helm?'' 37217 ''And my brother?'' |
37217 | ''Beat him, did you?'' 37217 ''Indeed,''said I, addressing her,''his two first questions were both about you; and the second of them was, whether you were still unmarried?''" |
37217 | ''My dear Carolina, why that question?'' 37217 ''Poor James Stray,''said I,''what has become of him?'' |
37217 | ''What can be the villain''s motive?'' 37217 ''Where are you going just now?'' |
37217 | All ready,''bout ship there? |
37217 | An''do ye ca''that meat and drink? |
37217 | An''what''s that to me, laddie, whar the King, God bless him, is? |
37217 | And do ye think, sir, I wasna gaun to mak ye an offer o''a tastin o''them? 37217 And has the Frenchman really run off?" |
37217 | And the thing you mean to tell us of-- does it concern him? |
37217 | And what guid wad it hae dune to hae said she was ill? |
37217 | And what,he exclaimed--"_what was his name_?" |
37217 | And your name,said the listener,"is Mr Melvin?" |
37217 | Are n''t your passengers coming yet, Mr Jones? 37217 Are we your only passengers?" |
37217 | Are you able to find caution, sir? |
37217 | As unlikely ships as that have come to land before now,replied Bill;"and wherefore should Miss Keveley not marry you? |
37217 | Assuredly,replied the auctioneer, smiling--"where is it?" |
37217 | Besides, Mr Willison, whar''s the shoon Jamie Goodawl said he couldna mend, and sent ye to me wi''? 37217 Bless me, are they back already!--can anything hae happened the minister?" |
37217 | But are you sure it is a French vessel? |
37217 | But what? |
37217 | But ye''ll no gang to Gilbert Sleuthie, the fiscal? |
37217 | But,asked Bill Mossman,"do you know anything of their history?" |
37217 | Could I see him, sir, do you think? |
37217 | Did I no aye say,exclaimed she,"that I would live to see my Peter a gentleman?" |
37217 | Did any of you,said he,"know the late William Elphinstone, Esq.?" |
37217 | Did the lassie complain? 37217 Did ye ever see her, or speak to her?" |
37217 | Did you ever hear o''a young woman bearing the name o''May Walker? |
37217 | Feart, ye little cowardly thing; what are ye feart for? |
37217 | Had n''t we better, sir,said Bill Mossman, coming aft,"cut away the boat from the davits? |
37217 | Had we not better make the signal for the other smacks to join as fast as possible? |
37217 | Hae ye been gettin ony meat except this crowdy an Adam''s wine? |
37217 | Hae ye heard ony news o''late? |
37217 | Hae ye ony auld, weathered bread,said he,"that has seen the sun for a week, and fules winna buy frae ye?" |
37217 | Has she muckle siller? |
37217 | Have you ever been in a merchant''s office? |
37217 | He spoke with great earnestness of manner; and my observation was,''Could we not try?'' 37217 Hoo''s Jeanie, yer dochter?" |
37217 | How do you do, Mr Willison? |
37217 | How should I forget the barley bannocks of the''Torwood?'' 37217 I hope there is no danger of being attacked?" |
37217 | I say, neighbours,said he to the group around him,"is this_ our_ ship or_ yours_?" |
37217 | I''m aye blithe to hear o''his weelfare, for auld lang syne; but what mair is there aboot it? |
37217 | Is a farthin no the fourth part o''yer ain price o''a''that bread, sufficient to keep a moderate man for a week? |
37217 | Is his dochter Jeanie, wham ye intend for my mither''s servant, like her father? |
37217 | Is she bonny?--has she a sweet voice?--is she like-- like me? |
37217 | Is the King here, sir, just now? |
37217 | Is there ony other livin creature supposed to be i''the house, but Cubby an''his dochter? |
37217 | Is_ that_, dear May, like love in the dead- thraw? 37217 It does indeed surprise me,"I replied;"but how come you to know these things?" |
37217 | Ken ye the law against hamesucken, sir? |
37217 | Ken ye wha, or what, or whence he is,inquired Adam,"atour the mere title an''form o''his knighthood?" |
37217 | Not America,said Peter:"and back again!--then, where-- where shall I find her?" |
37217 | Peter, what would your mother say? |
37217 | Pho, pho, my kind hostess, and what is in that? |
37217 | Then hae the twa stocks at last joined? 37217 Think ye she''s no in her grave?" |
37217 | True, dear,added he,"thy exertions keep us from charity; but those exertions, my child, will not long be able to make-- I see it-- I feel it? |
37217 | Was he ever married, ken ye? |
37217 | Weel, sir,replied Margaret, calmly,"if ye winna let mysel in, will ye tak in this to the King?" |
37217 | Wha''s there? |
37217 | Wha''s there? |
37217 | Wha''s weddin is it? |
37217 | Whar is my husband? |
37217 | Whar should she lie? |
37217 | What direction did he steer? |
37217 | What do I hear? 37217 What do ye mean, ye graceless?" |
37217 | What do you see there? |
37217 | What hae I to do wi''that, sir? |
37217 | What is it? |
37217 | What is the meaning o''this, sirs? |
37217 | What is this ye''re aboot? 37217 What is this?" |
37217 | What is''t ye want, then? |
37217 | What kind? |
37217 | What maks him keep a''body oot, then, Mr Carey, man? |
37217 | What mean ye, sir? |
37217 | What mean ye? |
37217 | What should ail her? |
37217 | What wad you ca''it? |
37217 | What want ye? |
37217 | What will please ye then? |
37217 | What would you think of Miss Keveley for a wife? |
37217 | What''s that to ye, callant? |
37217 | What''s the price o''that? |
37217 | What''s this, Balcanquhail? |
37217 | Whatna notion is that? 37217 Where are your certificates o''residence?" |
37217 | Which o''them mean ye, woman? |
37217 | Why did ye say to my wife, Cubby, that that lassie was weel, when it''s scarcely possible to observe in her a spark o''life? |
37217 | Why did you bid for the land, then? |
37217 | Why this early visit, young maiden? |
37217 | Why, woman, didna ye mak''some legal use o''the bit paper ye got frae your braw lover, Sir Willoughby Somerset? 37217 Will you alloo her to tak onything else, then, Cubby, if my wife sends it to ye?" |
37217 | William,said my mother, addressing him,"why do ye sit there? |
37217 | Ye mean ane o''yer three guid farthins, I suppose? |
37217 | Ye''ve got nae intelligence yet, I fancy, Mrs Monilaws, aboot my mither''s servant? |
37217 | You can do_ anything_, can you? |
37217 | ''If,''continued he,''we shall be able to save that father and daughter, will that pass away?'' |
37217 | ''Noble sir,''said I,''you understand English, listen;--Bill Bowline, at what distance may these ships be, on which you are now steering?'' |
37217 | ''Your son,''said I,''would he befriend me?'' |
37217 | A funeral costs siller-- what wad ye hae dune wi''the body?" |
37217 | Although she is at a great distance, yet I can make her out not to be a merchantman; and, besides, what does she mean by steering direct for us? |
37217 | And think you that I know not that you are to succeed him in business?" |
37217 | And what could your single arm, strong as it is, do against sae mony? |
37217 | And, oh, Ann, shall I see thee and thy mother inmates of a workhouse-- shall I hear men call thy father, Bill Graham, the old pauper?" |
37217 | Are ye weel enough, William-- or what is it?" |
37217 | As you''re a little interested i''the affair, and fond o''sichts, maybe ye may condescend to accompany them?" |
37217 | Besides, what mair can ony sick body get than meat and drink?" |
37217 | But how was this to be effected? |
37217 | But if ye''ll no be a minister, what will ye be? |
37217 | But is it no possible to hide?" |
37217 | But wha, save a Turk, could justify the taste o''a bonny maiden, wha married anither woman''s man? |
37217 | But what significates talking? |
37217 | But whom have we here? |
37217 | But ye hae nae pigs, Cuthbert?" |
37217 | But, sir, there maun here be a_ solatium_; and I ask you if you are willing to sign that paper whilk Lionel Apsley is ready to shaw ye?" |
37217 | But, were this even_ vero verius, certo certius_, how could my parent be blamed for being industrious? |
37217 | Can the remembrance of such atrocities ever be obliterated? |
37217 | Can ye no stop a wee? |
37217 | D''ye think we dinna ken Gibby Watson o''the Goosedub? |
37217 | D''ye think we dinna see that all this foolery is put on, man? |
37217 | Did n''t you see his pretty little daughter?" |
37217 | Do you think,"continued he,"that Miss Keveley would ever marry a sailor?" |
37217 | Does he wha, by thae holy bands, is bound to cherish and protect me, his wedded wife, deny a''knowledge o''me? |
37217 | Every one whispered to his neighbour--"Is he mad? |
37217 | Have I been your wife for twenty years, and ye say I torment ye now, by my anxiety for your weelfare? |
37217 | Have n''t you seventy pounds a- year left you by your grandmother? |
37217 | His last words were--"''Whither is he gone?--what accident Hath rapt him from us?'' |
37217 | I exclaimed--"of whom do you speak? |
37217 | If_ that''s_ no a sign"( still pressing her, as she struggled and cried)"o''the warm life o''a lively passion, as ye ca''d it, I kenna what it is?" |
37217 | Is my bairn to be corrupted, an''her father lookin on? |
37217 | Is there nae way o''getting her out o''his hands? |
37217 | Is_ that_ like languidness?" |
37217 | Ken ye the session- clerk o''this parish?" |
37217 | Ken ye this Scotch lassie, Sir Willoughby Somerset?" |
37217 | Let me see-- buy Cubbertscroft, the property o''the freens o''my mither, whase name I bear? |
37217 | Look at that, man; do ye ken that?" |
37217 | Men of Scotland, was there ever anything like this? |
37217 | Now, sir, what is your opinion as to that?" |
37217 | Or do you speak only to mock me?" |
37217 | Or who that has plighted his heart and his troth to one that is dearer than life, would not risk life for her sake? |
37217 | Peter, man, hae ye nae spirit ava?--What is yer objection?" |
37217 | Pray, are you acquainted with keeping books?" |
37217 | Quick, quick, bring her hither, Balcanquhail?" |
37217 | Shall I swear that the Bishop''s death is murder, and that the resistance of an oppressed and persecuted people is rebellion? |
37217 | Shall I take their infamous oaths, or subscribe their no less infamous bonds? |
37217 | Shall I''bind, oblige, and enact myself,''that I shall not hereafter take up arms in so good a cause? |
37217 | Surely, though your heart was harder than a nether mill- stane, ye couldna be sae cruel as to hurt my bairn for comin to see his ain mother?" |
37217 | The starvation of his daughter, and the affection( for what else could have produced his anxiety?) |
37217 | The story now fabricated by the prisoner is, indeed, improbable-- as what father would deny his child? |
37217 | Tom immediately bore down upon her; and the watch on board the frigate hailed--"What ship, ahoy?" |
37217 | Wad ye just break yer mother an''faither''s heart? |
37217 | Wad ye leave yer mother again? |
37217 | Wad ye no like to be a writer or an advocate?" |
37217 | We read with horror of the scaffold and the guillotine; but what immediate death could equal in atrocity their protracted sufferings? |
37217 | Wha are ye? |
37217 | Whar does her mither lie?" |
37217 | What are ye alarmed about? |
37217 | What can be expected o''ane wha has swallowed three hail pennies at ae gulp? |
37217 | What can this mean?" |
37217 | What cared I for things that were to come, when a''my joys were centred in the single moment when I was in his arms? |
37217 | What did she complain o''? |
37217 | What has happened? |
37217 | What is it that is troubling ye?" |
37217 | What is it, William? |
37217 | What may your compliant be?" |
37217 | What more natural than that such a woman should engage the affections of such a man? |
37217 | What mortal could live on that meat he has taen hame wi''him this nicht? |
37217 | What said he to you? |
37217 | What signifies a bit minute or twa?'' |
37217 | What was to be done? |
37217 | What''s to be done? |
37217 | Where is the person who brought it?" |
37217 | Where, on earth, hast thou been?" |
37217 | Who amongst you, that has a heart to feel, would not, under the same circumstances, have acted as I did? |
37217 | Who brought this bannock, Balcanquhail? |
37217 | Who says that George Webster is a married man?" |
37217 | Why does the auctioneer take his bode?" |
37217 | Will ye hae my bode?" |
37217 | Will ye no be a doctor?" |
37217 | Ye may confide in your wife now?" |
37217 | Ye understand, Mr Kennedy?" |
37217 | You are an Englishman-- are you from Cumberland?--Were you not at the school of old Dominie Lindores?" |
37217 | You look astonished,"added he--"does my narrative surprise you?" |
37217 | You may flog, torture, and degrade me-- I do not supplicate for mercy-- but will degradation prompt me to serve my king more faithfully? |
37217 | and an''t you my only son? |
37217 | brother brush- the- heather, what have we here? |
37217 | can this be really you?--eh, it''s lang since I hae seen ye!--hoo hae ye been a''this time?" |
37217 | cried Betty,"what is''t ye mean? |
37217 | cried Plainworth,"and is Wonderlove so ready to give up such a likely and well- authenticated tale of diablerie? |
37217 | cried an officer, who had observed him, and overheard his exclamation;"are you mad? |
37217 | cried my mother,"there is something wrong, and why will ye hide it from me? |
37217 | cried the old tar,"do you say that the fellow has tried to make a marine of me?--that a lubber has got the weathergage of Bill Graham? |
37217 | ejaculated Cubby again--"do ye gie yer pigs whey? |
37217 | exclaimed Betty, grasping the arm of the lieutenant--"O, sir, what do ye mean by punishment? |
37217 | exclaimed the grazier, in amazement--"on dry land?" |
37217 | he inquired,"or had any practice as an accountant?" |
37217 | hem!--a bairn, is, to a''intents and purposes, as gude a marriage as if it were celebrated wi''a''the solemnities o''haly kirk? |
37217 | how daur ye speak in sic a strain-- or wad ye be guilty o''sic unministerial conduct?--wad ye disgrace_ the coat_ by sic ungodly behaviour?" |
37217 | how did you stand it? |
37217 | how long? |
37217 | how long?" |
37217 | quoth the sheriff,''who could have expected this from you, Mr Macquil? |
37217 | said Carey,"or did ye ever hear o''ony ither body that lived wi''him?" |
37217 | said Cubby to himself, when Carey went out,"what am I to do? |
37217 | said Peter, laughing, and assuming a theatrical attitude--"an apothecary!--make an apothecary of_ me_, and cramp_ my_ genius over a pestle and mortar? |
37217 | said he,"know you not that the old merchant, her father, intends that you shall be we d on your arrival in England? |
37217 | said one of them, by name Jack Fid,''could you bring your noble heart to taste with us?'' |
37217 | said she to the serving maid, who stood beside her,"saw ye e''er the like o''yon? |
37217 | she cried, as she bustled into the house,"there''s a coach comin''here-- what can folk in a coach want wi''the like o''us? |
37217 | she exclaimed,"was it for this that you left the swamps of the Ganges? |
37217 | she exclaimed,"wherefore?--tell me wherefore?" |
37217 | the enraged dominie would cry--"Why?" |
37217 | wad ye fling awa yer learnin''at a dyke- side, an''yer talents at a pleugh- tail? |
37217 | when will their ire be stayed?--when will thy face return and shine again upon thy heritage? |
37217 | where hae ye been a''this time?'' |
37217 | wherefore is it thus with thy Zion? |
34153 | ''Od, sir,said I,"did ye no treat us? |
34153 | Ah, how do you do, my clear Miss M''Falzen? |
34153 | Am I, then, or am I not, to have a fowl_ à la Condà ©_, sir-- eh? |
34153 | And doth your highness approve or condemn our conduct, in hanging these favourites over Lauder Bridge? |
34153 | And maybe he wo n''t be curing the bit bone without the money? |
34153 | And what have you been doing? |
34153 | And what think you,added Miss Angelina,"of John Bunyan''s book, which I lent you, and which I now see lying here? |
34153 | And when, Sir John, will you return? |
34153 | And who is Geordie Gordon? |
34153 | And would you really pay it, cruel, cruel man? |
34153 | Are you mad, Mr Thriven? |
34153 | Are you ready in the maintop? |
34153 | Are you ready? |
34153 | Are you serious? |
34153 | Are you sure the dagger was that carried by the old priest who stabbed the king? |
34153 | Bless me, Mr Thriven, do you forget?--Is it possible that you can have forgotten so_ interesting_ an occasion? |
34153 | But how-- how, serjeant, will you manage it? |
34153 | But what can be stopping him? 34153 Can it be possible that your sentiments towards me have undergone a change, Mr Thriven?" |
34153 | Can you hand, reef, steer, and heave the lead, my man? |
34153 | Can you make her out? |
34153 | Did you really write on a blank leaf of that book the details of the profit you were to make of the burning? |
34153 | Do n''t be after spakeing,said Larry;"did you think we warn''t Christians?" |
34153 | Do you paint for amusement only,said I,"or do you dispose of them?" |
34153 | Does it concern Mr Thriven? |
34153 | Faither, d''ye no mind Tam?--Tam Wilson? |
34153 | Fiend or angel,cried the prince,"which art thou? |
34153 | For what has he been taken up? 34153 Generous being,"I said,"is it to you that I owe my deliverance?" |
34153 | Has she said where her renegade brother is to be found? |
34153 | Have n''t I done them, after all, Malcolm? |
34153 | Have you any more of this Bordeaux water in the house? |
34153 | Have you got plenty of money, lads? |
34153 | Have you heard the news? |
34153 | How much do you expect for it? |
34153 | However,she continued,"will it be any dereliction of your duty, serjeant, to permit me to speak for a moment with the unfortunate lad?" |
34153 | In great force, you say, serjeant? |
34153 | In the name of God,said Mrs Gibson,"who and what art thou?" |
34153 | In what direction are these rascals? |
34153 | Is Mr Thriven within? |
34153 | Is it possible, Mr Thriven, that you can thus make light of an affair that involves banishment? |
34153 | Is that poor boy a prisoner, sir? |
34153 | Is your present work bespoke? |
34153 | It is all very well to look thus concernedly,said Mr Horner, a large creditor;"but will this pay the two hundred pounds you owe me?" |
34153 | Marion,said her lover, now greatly agitated and perplexed,"what in all the earth is wrong? |
34153 | My father-- my mother, Catherine? |
34153 | Not a penny; but,_ if_ ye sent me the money, as ye say, John,he added,"how comes it that ye never answered ane o''my letters?" |
34153 | Ready abaft? |
34153 | Said what? |
34153 | Shall we not accord to these sentiments of our brother creditor? |
34153 | The lassie''s silly,said her father;"wherefore should he no gang? |
34153 | Then there is no alternative? |
34153 | Thou answerest not,continued the speaker--"and why? |
34153 | We will all now get full payment of our debts; what think ye of that, sirs? |
34153 | Well,said I,"will you meet me in this house to- morrow? |
34153 | Were you ever at sea, my spirited lad? |
34153 | What ails the lass? |
34153 | What can this mean? |
34153 | What consent, ma''am? |
34153 | What do you mean, sirrah? |
34153 | What do you resolve on? 34153 What does all this mean, sir?" |
34153 | What doth he deserve,proceeded the figure,"who disobeyeth his parent, deposeth his king, and rebelleth against the laws of God?" |
34153 | What has Miss Angelina M''Falzen been doing at the house of Mrs Bairnsfather? |
34153 | What have you done for me that I should rejoice in the sight of you? |
34153 | What in a''the yirth is the doctor gaun to do till us? 34153 What is a''this for?" |
34153 | What is the case? |
34153 | What is the exact amount of your claim, Miss M''Falzen? |
34153 | What is the meaning of this? |
34153 | What is this? |
34153 | What news?--what news? |
34153 | What then is to be done? |
34153 | What was it? |
34153 | What_ can_ it mean? |
34153 | Whatna Tam Wilson can that be, I wonder? |
34153 | When did you lend this copy to Mr Thriven? |
34153 | When do you think you will return? |
34153 | Where away? |
34153 | Where did you fall in with him? |
34153 | Where do you propose going to, Grace? |
34153 | Where is George? |
34153 | Where is his majesty? |
34153 | Who are you? |
34153 | Why did Grizel M''Whirter die, sir, until I got my discharge? |
34153 | Why for no, bairn? |
34153 | Why should I be happy to see you, John? |
34153 | Yes,replied the widow,"I have, as who has n''t? |
34153 | You also have seen the book? |
34153 | You got a good sight of the old man, then, I presume? |
34153 | You have spoken a melancholy truth, Mr Thriven,replied the father;"but will that truth feed my children?" |
34153 | ''Sure,''I used to say,''what would my own mother have said, had her ould eyes been witness to the happiness of her son, Larry M''Carthy?'' |
34153 | ''od, sir, are there ony lions hereawa?" |
34153 | ("And what, in the name of wonder, is a crimp?" |
34153 | A book of morals? |
34153 | A piece of plate? |
34153 | About three weeks after the birth of the child, his mother began to inquire--"What shall we ca''him, James? |
34153 | And all this, for what? |
34153 | And what has been the reward of all my cares? |
34153 | And what then? |
34153 | And who was he? |
34153 | Any one you wish to see?" |
34153 | Are the counsels of heaven couched in irony, or am I advised by a messenger of hell? |
34153 | Are they rebels, think you, serjeant?" |
34153 | But how comes this? |
34153 | But how was this to be effected? |
34153 | But how, how on earth, Grace, did you accomplish it?" |
34153 | But is there no way of averting this evil? |
34153 | But this paper? |
34153 | But what misfortune was this that threatened William Waterstone? |
34153 | But what said"man to man?" |
34153 | But what then? |
34153 | But what was to be done? |
34153 | But what''s the use o''my fashing yer honour wi''a''thae idle clavers? |
34153 | But when we do find him, shall we not say to him, let him have his reward-- and what shall that reward be? |
34153 | But where_ is_ the_ boat_?" |
34153 | But, some reader may ask, what became of poor Catherine and her flute- player? |
34153 | Can you not assist me, Sharp? |
34153 | Can you sing, my sweet maiden,''Now wat ye wha I met yestreen?'' |
34153 | Did n''t I tell you, now, I would give the drunken rogues the slip somewhere? |
34153 | Do ye think we should ca''him Alexander, after your faither and mine?" |
34153 | Do you no think I am suffering aneugh, and mair than aneugh, without you aggravating my misery? |
34153 | Do you use chopped veal or not? |
34153 | Dost thou hesitate? |
34153 | Eh, ma''am? |
34153 | Empty praise? |
34153 | Hast thou forgot our meeting in the Castle of Stirling? |
34153 | Hath the smith forged my penance- belt? |
34153 | Have I done anything to offend you-- anything to change your opinion of me?" |
34153 | Have the vocalists of these times degenerated, and the fields become aged? |
34153 | He''s no gaun to put a mark upon us, is he, Geordie?" |
34153 | How could I hope? |
34153 | How could ye, woman, add to my distress, by naming the base fallow before me?" |
34153 | How long have_ you_ been at sea?" |
34153 | How shall I meet your puir wretched mother without ye?" |
34153 | How were your letters to me sent father?" |
34153 | I entered at once, and inquired if I was not too late to go on board of a man- of- war? |
34153 | I exclaimed, starting from my seat;"what Taylor?--what Mortimer? |
34153 | Immediately after making the announcement above recorded, Captain Stubbs added,"And now, Mr-- A-- a----Pray, what the devil''s your name, sir?" |
34153 | In any other situation, would I have been alarmed at the sight of a bird? |
34153 | Is it not a devout performance-- an extraordinary allegory? |
34153 | Is not he my saviour, ye messengers of evil?--and have none of ye gratitude for deeds of mercy done? |
34153 | Is not she my sister, ye men of blood?--and have none of ye a sister? |
34153 | Is not that a good enough reason for refusing the pardon?" |
34153 | Is there anything you wish yet done before you go? |
34153 | It makes not a_ nail_ of difference that I lost three- fourths of the amount thereof by fire; because, what had you to do with the fire? |
34153 | Not Jessy-- my Jessy? |
34153 | Now, pray, madam, how do you compound your sauce for a fowl,_ à la Condà ©_? |
34153 | Now, serjeant, will you do what you can to prevent this search taking place, or to render it unavailing if it does?" |
34153 | Oh, blackness on the day that the rheumatiz came on him----""Shure now, and is that all?" |
34153 | Shall I prepare the commission?" |
34153 | Shall I write out the power of attorney, or will you wait till the officers are on you?" |
34153 | Speak!--what art thou?" |
34153 | Tears had gathered in the eyes of his son, and he inquired--"Do you know me?" |
34153 | The Allies will be there in three weeks at farthest; what can stay them? |
34153 | The debts due to you I incurred, why then should I not pay them? |
34153 | The fellow must be shot; and, if he is n''t shot, he must be hanged-- that''s all; so there''s but two ways of it-- eh? |
34153 | The minister inquired, in a low voice,"What is the child''s name?" |
34153 | The oar- dip gradually died away-- and where was I? |
34153 | The old man knelt down, and asked him tenderly what ailed him, and whether he thought that, by the aid of medical remedies, he might recover? |
34153 | Then, too, it could not be denied that"riches cover a multitude of sins;"why, then, should not Mr Thriven strive to get rich? |
34153 | They might have kindled a fire with Will''s musket; but where were the combustibles? |
34153 | Tight work that, madam, is n''t it-- eh?" |
34153 | What am I to do now for my puir Katie and my bits o''bairns? |
34153 | What are the orders?" |
34153 | What can wither the strong and deep- rooted affections of her bosom for the child of her love? |
34153 | What has he done?" |
34153 | What need of more? |
34153 | What say ye to that, friends? |
34153 | What say ye?" |
34153 | What say you to try? |
34153 | What say you?" |
34153 | What then are we to do? |
34153 | What think you?" |
34153 | What was to be done? |
34153 | What was to be done? |
34153 | What will ye?" |
34153 | What!--did he not save the life of my poor brother, and shall I scruple to lay down my life for him? |
34153 | What_ could_ it mean? |
34153 | When do you think you will get a discharge? |
34153 | When the first burst of joy had subsided--"And wha is this sweet leddy?" |
34153 | Where shall I find the elements of consistency, the true parent of happiness? |
34153 | Where was he to raise £150 some odds, which was the amount of William Waterstone''s debt to his landlord? |
34153 | Why more? |
34153 | Why not in pity end his woes and life together? |
34153 | Why, then, this warlike array?" |
34153 | Will you come and join my mess?" |
34153 | Will you not tell_ me_, Marion?" |
34153 | Wo n''t it now, serjeant?" |
34153 | Ye''ll hae been in Lunnon, I''se warran, sir? |
34153 | Yet am I not also ruined, and all by a misfortune whose origin is beyond the ken of mortals?" |
34153 | You are a native of this part of the country, I suppose?" |
34153 | You may smile at my folly, for who was there to serve me? |
34153 | You will certainly give us a stanza or two by the way? |
34153 | You will do this for me?" |
34153 | added Stubbs;"in overwhelming force-- madness to attack them-- you can depone on oath before a court- martial?" |
34153 | and is it_ friends_ you say?" |
34153 | and what may be ailing ye, countryman?" |
34153 | can my ain son insult me, and in a moment like this? |
34153 | cried James, half choked with passion;"ye rascal!--ye disgrace!--ye profligate!--how can ye ask what is it for?" |
34153 | cried James;"and how is it owre late? |
34153 | exclaimed Johnstone,"do you dare to disobey my orders? |
34153 | exclaimed Stubbs, passionately;"and am I to lose my dinner if your Hottentots should n''t happen to know how to cook it? |
34153 | have you strength to tell me all you know of James before my heart bursts?" |
34153 | inquired he, as he entered the house;"wherefore has he no been ben at his wark?" |
34153 | is he off?" |
34153 | my dear fellow,"said I to him,"when did you come to town?" |
34153 | not of the money I have been remitting you?" |
34153 | said I, accosting him,"is it possible that sorrow can have laid its heavy hand upon the light heart of Larry M''Carthy?" |
34153 | said Richard, his face now overspread with a deadly paleness, and his lips quivering with emotion,"in God''s name, what does this mean? |
34153 | said Tom;"d''ye no ken what''s a crimp? |
34153 | said he;"sure and ye would n''t be after dying among friends would ye?" |
34153 | she exclaimed, in great agitation, and scarcely knowing what she said,"will you-- will you do me a favour-- a great favour, serjeant? |
34153 | was killed in open day: who killed him? |
34153 | what can weaken a mother''s love? |
34153 | what could he do? |
34153 | what is the meaning of this?--what are you doing?--what have you done?" |
34153 | what is this that ye''ve done? |
34153 | what shall I say to yer puir mother? |
34153 | where''s the use in everlastingly yatter- yattering about what I will ca''him? |
34152 | A''that may be true,rejoined Mary;"but what, if I may speir, has gi''en sic a kirkyard turn to your conversation the day? |
34152 | Ah, Tom, sentimentalising? 34152 Am I not,"said the youth, stepping up to the perplexed sentinel--"am I not Lord Maxwell''s brother?" |
34152 | And hoo are_ ye_, guidwife? |
34152 | And is this all? |
34152 | And no prospect of advancement yet? |
34152 | And now,said Douglas,"for the last time, wilt thou conform, and preserve thy life, or die?" |
34152 | And whar the deil are_ ye_ to get them? |
34152 | And what business hae ye to interfere, freend? |
34152 | And what saw ye strange there, Mr Craig? |
34152 | And why not?--why may they not now? 34152 And, pray, where are you from, friend?" |
34152 | But do you know the woman? |
34152 | But what is the event ye allude to, freend, and what is''t ye propose to do in this matter that''ll produce the effect ye speak o''? |
34152 | But what is''t, woman, if I may speer? |
34152 | But what will your father say to it? |
34152 | But why may not I remain a bachelor, and be as happy as you? |
34152 | But you will be? |
34152 | But, my dear friend,said the marquis, interrupting him,"why do you speak of departure? |
34152 | By what name,eagerly inquired Sir John,"shall I thank my deliverer?" |
34152 | Cookson,says our commander to me,"what''s to be done, my lad?" |
34152 | Could it be possible that Mary was making a dupe of him, while she really preferred another? 34152 Dear me, Margate,"rejoined Nelly,"what''s wrang? |
34152 | Do you know that they mean to rob Charles of his birthright? |
34152 | Excuse my freedom, sir,rejoined the stranger;"but pray how long have you been curate of this parish?'' |
34152 | Hae ye nae guess wha he is? |
34152 | Has onybody been using you ill? |
34152 | Has your honour seen an old woman in a red cloak, apoot te precincts o''te king''s residence? |
34152 | Have I not borne myself like my equals and my race? 34152 How are ye this morning?" |
34152 | How are ye yoursel? |
34152 | How are ye, Clayslaps? |
34152 | How are ye, curate? |
34152 | How got you here? |
34152 | I have no reason to doubt it,replied Sir John;"but what does he here with you?" |
34152 | I say, Harry, let''s see what this is? |
34152 | Is it to be a mute vision, Allan? |
34152 | Is it to be tolerated that legitimacy is to be longer trampled under foot by bastardy? 34152 Is it your only one? |
34152 | Is the vision complete? |
34152 | Is there naebody in the hoose but yersel, Davy? |
34152 | Is there no hope left? 34152 Is this the cause of that most lachrymose countenance of yours, Harry? |
34152 | Is your hour come yet, Allan? |
34152 | It is but too true,said the marquis;"yet is there nought you would wish me to do? |
34152 | Lookit at_ me_,rejoined the other, affecting to be greatly surprised;"and pray what may the price of a_ look_ be? |
34152 | Meenie, my dear,he now said, addressing her,"are ye here for the purpose o''being united to Goupinsfou, o''yer ain free will and accord?" |
34152 | Mitigate them, did you say? 34152 My brother Charlie?" |
34152 | My good woman,said Middleton, stooping down close to her-- for even he was affected by the piteous sight--"where are you from?" |
34152 | Nae far''er? |
34152 | No, sir,says I;"what sort of wood be they?" |
34152 | Sir? |
34152 | So, Clayslaps,said the curate, here interfering,"is''t to be a match after a''--is''t?" |
34152 | Supposing, but not admitting, that that was my meaning,said the chamberlain, cautiously,"what would you say to the proposition?" |
34152 | Tell me, lady,I exclaimed,"before my soul can receive the words of repentance which you come to preach-- tell me-- do you_ love_ him?" |
34152 | Then what the devil''s the matter with you all? |
34152 | Then, what the deuce do you want me to do with him? |
34152 | There pe nae fear o''a mistake; put, if I should kill ae auld wife for anithor, whar''s te harm? 34152 Think ye I wanted to let your Edinburghers see how neatly we Gaels can strike pelow te fifth rib? |
34152 | Tuts, Mr Gibson, will I never hear the end o''that? |
34152 | Unhappy man,she returned,"what know you of me, that you torment me with questions that torture me?" |
34152 | Well, Harry,he said, on entering the apartment,"this is a devilish queer affair, an''t it? |
34152 | Well, then, since that is the case, you will have no objection to do him a service, I daresay? |
34152 | Were ye? |
34152 | Wha can he be? |
34152 | Wha else should he be? |
34152 | Wha''s this, Charlie, think ye? |
34152 | What aboot the brandy parritch, curate? |
34152 | What are your plans? 34152 What do you want, fellow?" |
34152 | What good spirit has brought you here, my dear Lady Margaret? |
34152 | What have you seen or heard? |
34152 | What reason has your majesty,he said,"for entertaining these fears, apparently so unfounded?" |
34152 | What task? 34152 What the mischief, Davy, man, are ye sittin gloomin and glunchin at there?" |
34152 | What would my child? |
34152 | What would ye do with her? |
34152 | What''s the lassie doin dreamin there, as if she were bewildered? |
34152 | What''s the matter, Ben? |
34152 | What''s the matter, Helen? |
34152 | What''s the matter? 34152 What''s the use o''talking this nonsense?" |
34152 | What''s this you hae gien me? |
34152 | What''s wrang now? |
34152 | What_ is_ the meaning of all this? |
34152 | Where is she? |
34152 | Whether is Ritchie or Jamie gaun to get ye noo, Mary? |
34152 | Who can doubt these things? |
34152 | Who does not know that Robert III., your brother, was born out of lawful wedlock? 34152 Who may that be?" |
34152 | Why did you faint when she mentioned the loss of her jewels? |
34152 | Why do you speak so hardly of me? |
34152 | Why, what''s the matter here? |
34152 | Will her heart''s pluid satisfy ye? |
34152 | Will you condescend to honour us with your presence, and with as much good- humour as you can conveniently spare? |
34152 | Will you, or will you not? |
34152 | Yet it can only be for_ your_ sake,said I;"but tell me, lady, are you the_ wife_ of the man who has pursued me to death?" |
34152 | You are a most expeditious workman,replied the chamberlain;"but where is the evidence of our being freed from this plague?" |
34152 | A little after mid- day, the captain came on deck, and said to the officer of the watch,"Mr Freeman, what do you think of the weather?" |
34152 | Ah, my boy( said Ben), you are there with your soundings, are you? |
34152 | And could it be that_ other_ who was now making a noise for the purpose of awakening her?" |
34152 | And did you listen to him?" |
34152 | And do you understand logarithms?" |
34152 | And is not an eye dearer than a hand, and must not the dearest member be sacrificed, if it stand in the way of the soul''s salvation? |
34152 | And now, sir, you have heard the narrative of Squire Ben-- what do you think of it? |
34152 | And, guidman,"he added, turning to Clayslaps,"will ye allow me to give away the bride?" |
34152 | Anne Ball put a question to me-- Why did I not wear my aunt''s diamond necklace? |
34152 | Are you certain he is not hatching against me some bloody conspiracy in these fastnesses of the north?" |
34152 | Are you not afraid of the Heading- hill of Stirling, which still shows the marks of the blood of the murdered Stuarts?" |
34152 | Are you now ready to act upon your own independent judgment, to forego your desire for revenge, and to enter into alliance with Johnstone? |
34152 | Boy, will you break my heart outright? |
34152 | But hoo''s this?" |
34152 | But how? |
34152 | But what has this to do with my persecution, or with my being king of Scotland? |
34152 | But what then? |
34152 | But what, think ye, was the breakfast ordered for his lordship? |
34152 | But wherein was this difference to consist? |
34152 | But who''s this you have with you?" |
34152 | But will your friend here not favour us with a verse or two? |
34152 | But, as the guidman has said, what''s the use o''speaking o''thae things, now, at ony rate? |
34152 | But, in the name of all that''s perplexing, what do you propose doing now?" |
34152 | Come ye to ask me to forgive my murderer? |
34152 | Could n''t you help me to a touch of it? |
34152 | Could_ she_ not make you change your mind?" |
34152 | Did ye think, because her brave brother was with the dead, that there was none left to revenge the ruin of her innocence? |
34152 | Do any of our east or south country readers know anything of the little village of Govan, within about two miles or so of Glasgow? |
34152 | Do you desire, Clayslaps, that the ceremony should be immediately performed?" |
34152 | Do you know me? |
34152 | Does yer honour ken te difference? |
34152 | Had not the king himself, the most dauntless of men, said the figure was supernatural? |
34152 | Hae ye lost yer leman? |
34152 | Has Davy no been sae kind''s he should hae been?" |
34152 | Have you heard anything of late of my bitter foe, Graham, who has denounced me? |
34152 | Have you no other fault to lay to the young man''s charge?" |
34152 | Have you, sir?" |
34152 | He hesitated about examining the evidence of the murder; but how otherwise could he have any faith in the statement of the Highlander? |
34152 | His text was,"Why should we mourn as those who have no hope?" |
34152 | Hoo did I manage te duke? |
34152 | Hoo muckle did your honour promise to gie me for my remuneration? |
34152 | How I bore that-- where I have lived since my release-- under what name, what privations, what agency, what madness-- is it necessary for me to say? |
34152 | How is this vision to be realised? |
34152 | I exclaimed,"what fiend hath sent thee? |
34152 | I exclaimed--"did I not save her?--save her from the coward who would have murdered her?" |
34152 | I hae offended my God; but, I''m sure, I hae never offended them in thocht, word, or deed; and why, then, will they drive me to distraction this way? |
34152 | If ony body had pleaded poverty to him, he would have asked them--"What right they had to be poor?" |
34152 | If the reason be one that can be told, why should you conceal it from your warmest friend?" |
34152 | In a few minutes after Sir John appeared, and, accosting Archy, said,"Well, my friend, what commands have you brought along with this?" |
34152 | In the meantime, will you go to Helen, and tell her that an old acquaintance desires to see her; and conduct her hither?" |
34152 | Is it not so?" |
34152 | Is n''t the rectorship of Govan vacant just now?" |
34152 | Is not my grandfather the friend of Father Petre, the confessor and the master of the king? |
34152 | Is that a''your honour kens o''a Gael''s prudence?" |
34152 | Is there nae compassion in them, nae pity, nae charity, that they will thus continue to persecute me wi''their merciless tongues? |
34152 | Is your ear deaf to my prayer? |
34152 | Is your heart closed against me? |
34152 | It is tardy justice, but it is justice accompanied by retribution; and when is the blood too thin and cold to feed the fire of revenge? |
34152 | It would have been more difficult for him to answer--"What right he had to be rich?" |
34152 | Kate, Kate Fotheringham-- is it not a sweet name, Harry?" |
34152 | Man, curate, can ye no contrive to warsle up the brae a bit? |
34152 | Maybe your honour can pay me te seven merks shusht now?" |
34152 | Might not this group form an appropriate subject for an Allan, a Wilkie, or a Harvey? |
34152 | Need it be said that cruelty became the characteristic of his mind? |
34152 | Need you wonder I am worn to what I am-- a mere skeleton- a wretched, decrepid thing-- more like a being returned from the grave, than a living man?" |
34152 | No objection, I fancy?" |
34152 | No sooner had Jenny Jackson-- now Mrs Angus-- seen it, than she exclaimed,"Whaur is Mary? |
34152 | Now, Sir John, will you become my security to Clayslaps for the fulfilment of this promise?" |
34152 | Now, what do ye think the miser did? |
34152 | O Jamie, what says the Bible? |
34152 | On the following morning, when he and Middleton met--"Well, Harry,"said the latter,"what''s to be done now? |
34152 | Shall I ever forget the looks of these women? |
34152 | She saluted him by inquiring"how he had rested?" |
34152 | The long panegyric that followed-- what had I to do with it then? |
34152 | The question rose incessantly upon me, Why does my presence prevent him from disclosing so startling and important a circumstance? |
34152 | The seer pointed to James''s death-- who is to kill the tyrant?" |
34152 | Was it ten merks your honour said?" |
34152 | What a thought is that!--what heart could resist its impulse? |
34152 | What availed my story against such evidence? |
34152 | What danger? |
34152 | What do you now propose doing with her?" |
34152 | What does not man-- what do not we owe thee?''" |
34152 | What does the good curate''s hints and allegorical allusions mean? |
34152 | What has been the result of your night''s reflections regarding Helen? |
34152 | What is the matter with you?" |
34152 | What jury could hesitate on a point so clear? |
34152 | What say ye to that?" |
34152 | What say you, Sir John?" |
34152 | What''s wrang, lassie? |
34152 | When did the groaning victims of royal cruelty get a chamberlain to turn for them the key of the tyrant''s sleeping room? |
34152 | When do the pulses of the old heart cease to quicken at the thought of a just retribution? |
34152 | When is the head too bald to bear a crown lined with purple velvet? |
34152 | When shall their words fade from my ear? |
34152 | Who, then, was this second old woman in the red cloak, that had made such a fearful impression upon the king? |
34152 | Whose can this handsome monument be?" |
34152 | Why did it shake you so? |
34152 | Why then do you stand mute and wavering?" |
34152 | Why, how the deuce could you help the silly wench drowning herself? |
34152 | Why, speaking seriously, did you write such an epistle to the king? |
34152 | Will you assist me in going through with this romantic business, Middleton?" |
34152 | Will you doom me to disgrace, as the mother of a coward?--make me curse the day in which I was wedded, and the hour in which you were born? |
34152 | Will you not hasten from these horrid walls? |
34152 | Will you permit those barons who are now asleep beneath the roof- tree of your house to make you do what you know and feel to be wrong?" |
34152 | Will you sign no bond?" |
34152 | Will your grace hear_ your_ fate from the lips of a seer?" |
34152 | Wretches, tell me where are those jewels which I have guarded for twenty years?" |
34152 | You asked me if I remembered Miss----what''s her name?" |
34152 | You have spoken of my hereditary foes-- shall I be the first of my race to cast away my heritage? |
34152 | You understand me?" |
34152 | a lady kneeling, eh-- eh? |
34152 | again said Graham;"or see you any signs of a_ taisch_?" |
34152 | and hoo,"he added, with an intelligent smirk,"is Davy Linn o''Partick? |
34152 | cried Graham, in great agitation--"has she gone away without your knowledge, and without telling you whither she was going?" |
34152 | cried I, hastily;"and you love him-- tell me, do you not love him?" |
34152 | how long could they remain in that state of mind, when, as it had appeared, Mrs Ball''s son was appointed the attorney of the heir- at- law? |
34152 | if I were to lose that, what would become of me?" |
34152 | interrupted the stranger, who had hitherto listened to the records of the Patriarch in silence--"who was he?" |
34152 | is it true?" |
34152 | is n''t that it, your honour?" |
34152 | it is not for myself that I pray-- it is for you; for, when the day of wrath arrives, where will ye flee to? |
34152 | pointing to the parritch;"what infernal stuff is that?" |
34152 | said Mary, with a smile, which showed that her heart was greatly, if not wholly relieved--"is that a''?" |
34152 | said Tom--"what do you mean?" |
34152 | said she, wringing her hands, as she entered the domicile,"sic a night as I''ve passed? |
34152 | said the lady, looking keenly at her son;"did you let him repeat the word? |
34152 | that his temper became harsh, his disposition imperious, and his spirit as untameable as it was fiery? |
34152 | what brain its fire?" |
34152 | what faith? |
34152 | what oath?" |
34152 | what''s the matter, Harry?" |
34152 | what''s the matter?" |
34152 | whaur is Mary?" |
34152 | when shall I be relieved? |
34152 | where is my husband?" |
34152 | who would talk of peace to one who has just suffered bereavement? |
34152 | will they no hae mercy on me, and leave me to the punishment o''my ain thochts and feelings? |
34144 | A guid advice,added Peggy;"but wha are our friends, Janet? |
34144 | A haberdasher, is he? 34144 Alas? |
34144 | An''where does your father live-- what is he? |
34144 | And what place was ye at last? |
34144 | And who''s his friend, Sally? |
34144 | And, pray, who the devil are you then? |
34144 | Are ye for hiring the day, hinny? |
34144 | Are ye serious, brother? |
34144 | Art satisfied, my Lord of Ross? |
34144 | Bless my heart, are you done? |
34144 | But why this mystery, James? |
34144 | Can she already have heard that I am unfortunate, and that we must part? |
34144 | Cheer up, cheer up my bonny, bonny May Oh, why that look of sorrow? 34144 D''ye see that?" |
34144 | Davy Wemyss o''the Coal Hill? 34144 Dost thou still stand to thy objection to the match?" |
34144 | Doth he-- doth Brother Christie accuse me of vinous indulgences? 34144 Fear?" |
34144 | For Heaven''s sake, have done; and tell me, if you can, who those two fops of fellows are at the foot of the room? 34144 Has Mrs. Shirley really got a legacy o''the five thousand?" |
34144 | Has he refused them? |
34144 | Hast thou anything to say in palliation of thy crime? |
34144 | Here''s a discovery for some folks, is n''t it? 34144 How dinna ye dance, hinny?" |
34144 | How dinna ye dance, man? |
34144 | Is he sair hurt? |
34144 | Is it not strange that we should be so very like each other? |
34144 | Is not this the thief? |
34144 | Is our wager won? 34144 Is she a weel- faured woman, wi''a bairn at her foot?" |
34144 | Is that true, William Hume? |
34144 | Is that your daughter? |
34144 | Ken ye the dame Shirley, wha lives at the east end o''Linton? |
34144 | Knowest thou the punishment of deforcing the king''s messengers? |
34144 | Miss Fanny, will you be kind enough to sound your A? |
34144 | My good sir,said I,"since you seem to be engaged in a noble act, may I request to be allowed to lend my aid?" |
34144 | Oh, father, is that you? |
34144 | Oh, ye''re Frenchmen; ye belang to the Queen''s Guard? |
34144 | Queerish a little, is n''t it? |
34144 | So your faither, Lilly, will not allow you to marry Will Carr,resumed James,"because he is puir?" |
34144 | That was the time, was n''t it, that you brought me over that choice lot of cigaws? |
34144 | The opiate-- the opiate, Miss Emily? 34144 Then will you convey this to him?" |
34144 | Think ye yer sittin there''s a compliment to me, wha am blawing awa my lungs here, for the very purpose o''makin ye dance? |
34144 | Wad ye use force to a holy brither o''the preceptory? 34144 Was she not buried by her father in the burial- ground of the Lorimers of Closeburn?" |
34144 | Was there naebody beside him? |
34144 | Wasna that a lucky affair-- that siller left us by the cotton spinner? |
34144 | Weel, hae ye made the inquiry? |
34144 | Weel, hinny,said she,"hae ye got back again? |
34144 | Wha wants a priest? |
34144 | Wha''s this? |
34144 | What am I to do? 34144 What are ye screaming at, ye young rascal?" |
34144 | What depends on''t? |
34144 | What did he say? |
34144 | What did he_ no_ do, your Highness? |
34144 | What do you think of this business, eh? |
34144 | What is she to me? |
34144 | What is that? |
34144 | What like is she? |
34144 | What mean I? |
34144 | What mean ye, honest woman? |
34144 | What the deuce could the woman mean? |
34144 | What the devil''s that? |
34144 | What''ll they think''s become o''me in Leith? 34144 What''s the matter wi''ye, bairn?" |
34144 | What''s to be done? |
34144 | What''s your will, sir? |
34144 | What_ did_ he do,continued the King,"to entitle him to that character? |
34144 | Where is the beggar? |
34144 | Where is the beggar? |
34144 | Where is the gaberlunzie? |
34144 | Where, where is he, man? |
34144 | Who is he, my dear? |
34144 | Who is the captain, Mary? |
34144 | Who will provide for me now, when my Willie is gane? |
34144 | Why dare you not? 34144 Why more to her than to her sister Fanny? |
34144 | Why should you entertain such a wish? |
34144 | Will they laugh at the loss o''their horse, I wonder? |
34144 | Will ye gie me up to the beadles, freends,cried the beggar,"or will ye stand by him wha has sought yer protection, and partaken o''yer hospitality?" |
34144 | Ye''ll no guess what''s gaun to happen? 34144 You_ will_ convey it to him, then?" |
34144 | ''Catherine,''added I,''can I see you another''s? |
34144 | ''Drink it?'' |
34144 | ''Sir Peter Blakely,''said Catherine, rising with a look expressive of indignation and confusion,''what mean ye?'' |
34144 | ''Still employed wi''works o''love an''charity? |
34144 | ''The half?'' |
34144 | ''Think of you?'' |
34144 | ''What is all over, love?'' |
34144 | ''What mean ye, Catherine?'' |
34144 | A pair of parvenus, no doubt; but what is your motive for asking so particularly about them?" |
34144 | A rival, Master Frank? |
34144 | And he would not give thee the garments?" |
34144 | And is my judgment or reason in fault? |
34144 | And was she not good as beautiful? |
34144 | And what''ll Drinkhooly do for his goun? |
34144 | And what''ll I say for mysel whan I gae back? |
34144 | And why not? |
34144 | And yet, why should we turn with affected disgust from a tale of the heart''s first, best, purest, and dearest affections? |
34144 | Are n''t you proud of having had such a rival?" |
34144 | Besides, how could I endure to see her subjected to the privations of a destiny so humble as mine? |
34144 | But do ye like Will Carr, hinny?" |
34144 | But how was he to get out of the scrape? |
34144 | But prudence at length prevailed, and she added:"But why should she be buried for me? |
34144 | But what availed our care and attention, where sickness and death reigned triumphant? |
34144 | But when, in a young and inexperienced mind, did love submit to be controlled by reason? |
34144 | But, whar am I?--Wha''s house is this, and hoo got I till''t? |
34144 | But-- can ye-- can ye hoe?" |
34144 | Can this be the captain? |
34144 | Can ye milk a cow?" |
34144 | Can ye no intercede for me, sir, or at least gie me some advice how I am to act in this fearfu business?" |
34144 | Can ye tell me whar I am, and hoo I cam here?" |
34144 | Canna ye speak, woman? |
34144 | Catherine will be a wife!--Edward a----''Speak not impiously,''she cried, imploringly--''what-- what can we do?'' |
34144 | Come, come, tell me what it is annoys you?" |
34144 | Come, love, wherefore will you be unhappy? |
34144 | Could a beggar o''ordinar flesh and blude hae dune a''that, yer Highness?" |
34144 | Death!--what must you think of me?'' |
34144 | Do n''t you think, now, they''d make a nice pair? |
34144 | Do not I mean this?--and is it not true? |
34144 | Does not its song frae the cloud mind you of the hymn heard by the shepherds? |
34144 | Does your reverence no mind whar ye laid them?" |
34144 | Eh?" |
34144 | Geddes?" |
34144 | Geddes?" |
34144 | Had ye ony mair after I left ye? |
34144 | Have we, as we essayed, succeeded in our undertaking? |
34144 | Have you got upon''Shakspeare, taste, and the musical glasses?''" |
34144 | He would, doubtless, explain all, and help me to mine outer covering and head- gear?" |
34144 | Heard ye if there hae been mony killed the day?" |
34144 | Her face, her form, her auburn ringlets, falling over a neck of alabaster!--where might man find their equal? |
34144 | How can I face the king after abusing his officers, and harbouring the thief wha stole the royal mace, as weel as the horse o''his officer? |
34144 | How have ye been, dear?'' |
34144 | How many doses has she administered to- day? |
34144 | How soon may I follow it?" |
34144 | I exclaimed, striking my forehead, and the purse dropped upon the floor;''am I reduced to this? |
34144 | I exclaimed,''whose funeral is this?'' |
34144 | I likewise lack my hat, good Mrs. Weymss; know ye what has become of it?" |
34144 | I say, Bob, and you Archy,"he continued, turning round, and selecting two persons from the mob,"will ye no join us in giein a lift to the carrion? |
34144 | I''m sure ye ken me weel aneuch-- dinna ye?" |
34144 | If a man does not speak well of his own wares, whom does he expect to do it for him, when every person is busy selling wares of his own? |
34144 | In fact, what was I without my knife? |
34144 | Is he far distant?" |
34144 | Is it really your honest opinion that our honour would stand the shock o''the connection wi''the Widow Shirley?" |
34144 | Is my good friend David not in the way? |
34144 | Is not James Macpherson a prisoner within these walls, and are not you his keeper?" |
34144 | Is that you, Betty?" |
34144 | Is''t onything tasty?" |
34144 | It is there the shoe pinches, is it?" |
34144 | Ken ye the antiquity o''the Bertrams?" |
34144 | Ken ye wha ye seek? |
34144 | Many recent winters have made me cry, What has become of winter? |
34144 | Mr. Moir,"said the boy, while I was dismounting, in answer to my question,"What news in the village?" |
34144 | My gown, know ye where it has been deposited? |
34144 | Oh, if I had him here, I would n''t give it him, I would n''t? |
34144 | Oh, when, when, when?" |
34144 | On her entering--"Good woman, good Mrs. Wemyss, I would say, know ye anything of mine outer garment? |
34144 | Pray, Miss Emily, what new novel or poem was it that kept you awake so late last night that you have lost half this glorious morning? |
34144 | Shall I tell it you, my friend, that the agony I perceived on her countenance kindled a glow of joy upon mine? |
34144 | Tell me the author''s name, that I may punish the delinquent, by cutting up his book, in the next number of our review?" |
34144 | Tell me, Catherine, am I indeed_ dear_ to you?'' |
34144 | The man of fashion, eh, Frank?" |
34144 | The suicide''s grave-- where is it? |
34144 | The suicide''s grave-- where is it? |
34144 | The warrior looks fierce in his regimentals and armour; but what cares she for guns, bayonets, swords, and pistols? |
34144 | Was the aristocratic Grizelda to sit and see tea filled out for the wives and weans of a dresser of yarns, and an artificer of garments? |
34144 | Was the honour of the Geddeses of Cauldshouthers to be scuttled by a needle and a hackle- tooth? |
34144 | What avails it to say that prudence should have forbidden this? |
34144 | What could this mean? |
34144 | What crime has he committed, hinny? |
34144 | What do they ken aboot us or oor country? |
34144 | What feck, noo, if it''s a fair question, did the twa Frenchmen leave ye?" |
34144 | What is to be done?" |
34144 | What ither did they get tails for?" |
34144 | What means this?'' |
34144 | What more would an age of acquaintance have discovered? |
34144 | What next could this mean? |
34144 | What or whom have you to fear?" |
34144 | What say ye, guid hearts?" |
34144 | What should I care whether the puppies are attentive to Emily Cheesham or not?" |
34144 | What size is the cask?" |
34144 | What sort o''a fair has there been? |
34144 | When will these atrocities cease? |
34144 | Where is Willie?" |
34144 | Who ever heard of a female Burns or Bloomfield? |
34144 | Who now so venturous as to dash headlong through the hottest flame, and to recover from beneath the choking night his former position? |
34144 | Who was its compounder? |
34144 | Why should I not? |
34144 | Why should not we even pity the guilty and abandoned? |
34144 | Why sould I bother my head wi''_ improvidments_, as they ca''them? |
34144 | Why think of degradation or of suffering? |
34144 | Will ye forgie this to the boot?" |
34144 | Will ye pledge the honour o''a knight, that, if I draw the bolts, ye''ll let alane for let alane?" |
34144 | Will you break the dullness, and favour us?" |
34144 | Will you convey it to him?" |
34144 | Will you have the goodness to accompany me?" |
34144 | Will you learn if I teach you, Billy, while we lie here? |
34144 | Willie paused for a few moments, and added--"And your mother?" |
34144 | Wilt thou give him up, or must we take him at the expense of our blood and thine?" |
34144 | With a situation presenting such allurements for the devotees of the picturesque, is it wonderful that Potterwell became a favourite resort? |
34144 | Would ye bring Heaven''s wrath upon your heads by so foul a deed?" |
34144 | Would you have me behold it?--shall my eyes be withered by the sight? |
34144 | Would you have me to break the last cord that binds to existence the only being to whom I am related on earth-- for whom have I but my father? |
34144 | Ye''ll be Janet''s husband, I fancy? |
34144 | Yet what was to be done? |
34144 | Your Highness''troops cam to seize him-- and wha before ever saw the guidman o''Cairnkibbie harbour a thief? |
34144 | and when did the young heart exhibit the faculty of resisting impressions at will? |
34144 | answered William, as he took the paper out of the messenger''s hands--"what hae I dune to offend the king?" |
34144 | are you satisfied?--why not continue the sport? |
34144 | continued the old woman;"is Willie no wi''ye; where is he?" |
34144 | cried the old woman;"is''t onything aboot Willie?--My bairn''s no dead?" |
34144 | exclaimed the King, when he had again arranged his jaws into something like gravity--"Dost thou believe he was the Devil?" |
34144 | have they dogged me? |
34144 | he cried,''is it you? |
34144 | he exclaimed in agony;''is that the way you shake hands in your country? |
34144 | interrupted Menie and the old woman at once,"what-- what was his name?" |
34144 | is my bairn dead?" |
34144 | or what do they ca''ye?'' |
34144 | returned I--''are ye not to be another''s? |
34144 | said Lady Wisherton, bursting out into a sudden paroxysm of pious excitation,"what is to become of our poor persecuted church? |
34144 | sets the wind in that quarter? |
34144 | shame on ye; would ye murder a defenceless man? |
34144 | she answered laughingly--''have you not the whole? |
34144 | she cried,''whither-- whither would you go?--you would not leave me thus? |
34144 | she exclaimed--"does it not seem rather a thing of heaven than of earth? |
34144 | the other chap? |
34144 | thought I, can_ our_ Mary be_ my_ Mary? |
34144 | we opine we have-- what say our judges?" |
34144 | what is''t, Menie?" |
34144 | what would you have me to do? |
11032 | ''And Aditi, who will return to my father''s palace, is she to be kept from me to the end?'' 11032 ''And wha will pay for the wet- nurse?'' |
11032 | ''And will Fletcher not see me before I die, to receive my last kiss?'' 11032 ''What''s ado, woman?'' |
11032 | And I am so delighted, Miss Craig, that I could almost take you into my arms,said the lady;"but what ails ye, dear? |
11032 | And can ye say nae mair, sir? |
11032 | And do you fear me? |
11032 | And do you stand by this? |
11032 | And is Janet there now? |
11032 | And is it possible ye can hae forgotten the only woman who was present at your first marriage? |
11032 | And so Mr. Napier of Eastleys is dead? |
11032 | And that is your answer? |
11032 | And wha is his heir, think ye? |
11032 | And what did you do when you found Will had proved false? |
11032 | And what in the world put it in your head to go there? |
11032 | And what more? |
11032 | And where is he now? |
11032 | And where is that grave? |
11032 | And who can it be that can recollect that? |
11032 | And who had to do with it then, Effie, dear? |
11032 | And who is sister Mary? |
11032 | And who shall witness this strange marriage? |
11032 | And whose daughter, by the mother''s side, is she, then? |
11032 | And will no one watch? |
11032 | And ye come to rouse me to revenge? |
11032 | Are you Effie Carr? |
11032 | Are you the Mysie Craig,she cried, as she looked at the girl,"who used to chat to me about the dresses you brought, and the flowers on them? |
11032 | Are you the pelican? |
11032 | Ay, ay,replied Tammas, as he began to come to a proper condition of perceiving and thinking;"and it was you, then, wha was here this morning?" |
11032 | But hadna ye better come in, good sir? |
11032 | But have you had anything to eat, dear, in this long journey? |
11032 | But what of her? |
11032 | But where is the pelican? |
11032 | But who told you? |
11032 | But why do you keep the secret? 11032 But why would not the powers interfere?" |
11032 | Come again so soon, Aminadab? |
11032 | Do you know anything more, Aminadab? |
11032 | Do you not recollect of Brahma? |
11032 | Do you wish to smell gunpowder? |
11032 | Does Mr. Fletcher know this? |
11032 | Does a Frenchman talk of his rights upon the lands of Home? |
11032 | Ha''n''t I told thee, lad? |
11032 | Hae ye ony guess what brought her here? |
11032 | How comes it? 11032 I am glad,"continued the woman,"to find you with a turned heart; but whaur is the Jezebel ye took in her place?" |
11032 | I wish peace,replied the Chevalier,"and come to enforce the establishment of my rights; why do you interfere between me and my ward?" |
11032 | Is it Robert Stormonth who asks me to do this thing? |
11032 | Is my name a bogle to terrify human beings? |
11032 | Is she ony great body? |
11032 | Is your message so urgent that ye must deliver it to- night? |
11032 | It''s no surely she who is in the horrid hole? |
11032 | Mother,he again exclaimed,"will ye no speak ae word? |
11032 | Nor wrote you? |
11032 | Robert Stormonth,at length she said, calmly,"and have you suffered too? |
11032 | Runs cold, lad, at what? 11032 The black man the boys used to run after?" |
11032 | The pelican, dear? |
11032 | Then I_ had_ a brother? |
11032 | Then what is it? |
11032 | Then who was the strange being? |
11032 | They have all two or three wives in the East, have n''t they? 11032 To where?" |
11032 | Was it tragedy or comedy? |
11032 | Well, my little lady,said he,"what may be your pleasure?" |
11032 | Wha ever said I was the mother of Henney Hislop? |
11032 | What gentleman is this with thee, Charles? |
11032 | What mean you, Janet? |
11032 | What mean you, woman? |
11032 | What more? |
11032 | What think ye, minny? |
11032 | What would ye? |
11032 | What, in the name o''a''that''s gude on earth and holy in heaven, do ye mean? |
11032 | What-- eh? |
11032 | Where, where? 11032 Who be there?" |
11032 | Who is dead? |
11032 | Who may live here? |
11032 | Whoy, ha''n''t I told thee? |
11032 | Whoy, which be which? |
11032 | Why should I go to Cumberland? |
11032 | Why should that have been your ruin? |
11032 | Why, to be sure, have n''t I told him? 11032 Would you hae me, Margaret,"he said,"to disgrace mysel''in the face o''my townsmen? |
11032 | Ye are agitated, husband,said the gentle lady, laying her hand upon his;"hath the man brought evil tidings?" |
11032 | Ye read yer ain paper, and why no mine? |
11032 | Ye''ll no ken me, Tammas Dodds? |
11032 | Yes, who was to know that her own protector, even the great spirit of her land, was to come here to help her? 11032 You had,"replied his father;"but wherefore do you say you_ had_ a brother? |
11032 | Your errand, stranger? |
11032 | ''The steps of a good woman are ordered by the Lord;''but does He order you to step to the Cradle?" |
11032 | --and he must get quit of the mouthful before he could finish--"Eh, Janet?" |
11032 | Ah, jealous and envious, is that it? |
11032 | And Maule, now getting terrified through the haze of his drunkenness, cried out,"Who are you?" |
11032 | And is it not at best only a counter, yea, a counterfeit? |
11032 | And is this your work, ye sons of the wicked and the accursed one? |
11032 | And so he might; for who does n''t see that the charm of mystery can be enhanced by the hope of turning it to account of money? |
11032 | And tell me-- for this strange resemblance between us almost overpowers me-- do yours live?" |
11032 | And who sent you?" |
11032 | Are ye, too, one of his myrmidons, and seek ye to strike the lion in his den?" |
11032 | Are you quite sure you will do it?" |
11032 | But did n''t that same moon shine on the children of Brahma as well as on the children of Christ? |
11032 | But had she not overheard her father say that he had insured poor dear Mary''s life with the Pelican? |
11032 | But how was he to act? |
11032 | But know you nothing of my other son? |
11032 | But of what avail was this work- termination to her now? |
11032 | But oh, hinny, hae ye it weel aff? |
11032 | But was it for the honour of the law that people should be hanged on a likelihood? |
11032 | But was there no remedy? |
11032 | But what cared Annie? |
11032 | But who knows the pain of the conventional concealment of pain except those who have experienced the agony of the trial? |
11032 | Come ye in peace, or what may be your errand?" |
11032 | Did Fletcher Read, on that after day, when Panmure blew the white iron trump, not expect to see Kalee rise up and seek judgment on the house of Logie? |
11032 | Did I not recollect what Kalee told me about the blood- bond? |
11032 | Did we not all witness the growing gloom gathering day by day over his face? |
11032 | Do the folks down in the town say anything, or shake their heads, or point their fingers?" |
11032 | Do you really think that, because you bore a child to Mr. John Napier, therefore Henney Hislop is the heiress of her reputed father?" |
11032 | Does he live? |
11032 | Doesna our guid king intend to leave his fair Margaret, and risk the royal bluid o''the Bruce for the interests o''auld Scotland? |
11032 | Even this incident had its use; for Mr. White, who had known Mr. Napier, and had faith( as who has not?) |
11032 | Fixing her eyes, now every moment waxing less clear, on the face of her mother--"Oh mother, dear,"she whispered,"why do you not send for the pelican?" |
11032 | Fletcher Read might have recollected this, but what though? |
11032 | Had she not heard of the fate of Kalee? |
11032 | Had she not seen the Cradle( still standing in the hollow of the hill)? |
11032 | Has any one ever been kind to you?" |
11032 | Have I not told you to let me go on? |
11032 | He perceived that the skipper frequently cast suspicious glances towards him, as though he were about to ask,"Where is your money, sir?" |
11032 | He was to preach his trial sermon; and where? |
11032 | He would knock, and he would not; the mystery of an undefined fear was over him; and yet, what had he to fear? |
11032 | Heard ye ever the like of a tocher, man?" |
11032 | How did he come hither to the Ultima Thule, as it were, of the known world? |
11032 | I coom from three miles down the river there; and what may they call thee?" |
11032 | Is it not thus that we are all humbugged in this world of ours? |
11032 | Is it possible that you do not know him? |
11032 | It was now clear to her that her dear Mary was to be taken from her; had not the doctor said as much? |
11032 | It was open; but where was Templeton? |
11032 | Janet had described it, and the table and the chair: what more than the bare walls was there to describe? |
11032 | Lord, why stayeth the hand of vengeance?" |
11032 | M''Pherson?" |
11032 | Many questions were asked, many answered; and amongst others, the father inquired--"Where is your brother-- my little George? |
11032 | Mr. Sim, who was now a grey- haired man, reeled back a few paces-- he raised his hands-- he exclaimed,"Can I be forgiven?" |
11032 | Napier?" |
11032 | Need we wonder at an issue which may already be looming on the vision of those who know anything of human nature? |
11032 | Next night at ten he was in the parlour; but how did he get there, and Brahma in these very woods? |
11032 | No doubt she would be wanting payment of her account; yet why apply to him, and not to Mrs. Dallas? |
11032 | Now, had you a tocher like that, it would be a gey business, I think,--fourteen potato- stones at the very least, I would say, eh?" |
11032 | Shall we add more? |
11032 | She asked for the children--"''Will you not let me see my boys?'' |
11032 | Sometimes, when angry, I say to Ady, Ca n''t you go down to the_ Scouring Burn_?" |
11032 | Tammas Dodds; whaur frae and whaur tae, man?" |
11032 | Temple?" |
11032 | The answer, in a broken, cracked voice, was not slow--"Mary Brown; and what may you want of her?" |
11032 | Their natural protector gone, what would be left to her but grief, what would remain for her child but destitution? |
11032 | Then man measures woman''s love by his own; but when was man''s heart stirred by nature''s strongest passion like that of devoted woman? |
11032 | Then was there not the prospect of the proscription being taken off, and the two would be made happy? |
11032 | Then what could a puir woman do? |
11032 | There at the bottom, covered over by a piece of brown paper, she found-- what? |
11032 | This noble conduct was not unappreciated by Hume; for where is bravery found segregated from gratitude and generosity? |
11032 | Was all over? |
11032 | Was he not to be tried? |
11032 | Was it not certain that she had not seen Balgarnie for two moons? |
11032 | Was not the pun a good one-- worthy of Hood? |
11032 | Was prudence, the chief of the four cardinal virtues, ever yet consistent with vice? |
11032 | Was that to be Janet''s last act of her darling hussyskep? |
11032 | Was the dying sister Mary able to take any breakfast? |
11032 | What could the issue be? |
11032 | What is your name? |
11032 | What mean ye, stranger?" |
11032 | What of this gracious Regent? |
11032 | What say ye, Sir Warden? |
11032 | Wherefore might not_ his_ dumb spirit be cast out as well by that grace which aboundeth in the bosom of the Saviour? |
11032 | Who could know the murderer or the forger better than the murderer or the forger himself? |
11032 | Who could read_ him_? |
11032 | Who could_ he_ be? |
11032 | Who knows? |
11032 | Who was to open it? |
11032 | Why did he come just at a juncture when the daughter of a king of his own favoured people was immured in a dungeon, and calling for his help? |
11032 | Why did she marry this man? |
11032 | Will that satisfy you? |
11032 | Will that satisfy you?" |
11032 | Will that satisfy you?" |
11032 | Will ye no, mother?--will ye no?" |
11032 | Will you not look up yet, dear Effie? |
11032 | You bear it from your grandfather You come from Cumberland?" |
11032 | You know Morris House?" |
11032 | and if they''re no alike, mustna the ither be the forgery?" |
11032 | and were there no powers in heaven but what we confessed? |
11032 | and why should Annie eat when Mary, who did all she did-- and she always did everything that sister Mary did-- could not? |
11032 | and would any one throw away his life on a false plea? |
11032 | and,"Is yon bonny creature her ain bairn?" |
11032 | are ye dumb? |
11032 | are ye seeking charity? |
11032 | at length he stuttered;"ken ye? |
11032 | can ye no speak, mother?" |
11032 | canna ye look at first the ae paper and then the ither? |
11032 | could not_ one_ content ye? |
11032 | cried George, striking more passionately on the window,"what do you mean?" |
11032 | cried the mother;"what do you mean?" |
11032 | do ye depart in peace, or wish ye that we should try the temper of our Border steel upon your French bucklers?" |
11032 | exclaimed Charles,"have I then found a father?" |
11032 | exclaimed the henchman Trotter, dashing forward, and raising his sword,"said ye that my master proved false at Flodden?" |
11032 | for the sake of your master''s head would ye lift your hand against that face which ladies die to look upon? |
11032 | from whence do you come?" |
11032 | he exclaimed,"is that you? |
11032 | he exclaimed,"pardon a miserable man-- what was the name of your mother?--who the family of your father? |
11032 | my Elizabeth, who will protect you now, my poor, poor orphan?" |
11032 | or rather, who could_ she_ be? |
11032 | returned Sir David;"or by whose authority is my nephew your ward?" |
11032 | said Mr. White,"did it die too?" |
11032 | wha in God''s name are ye? |
11032 | when, when?" |
11032 | whence this mimic shape? |
11032 | will ye torment me mair? |
34145 | ''But what,''replied Stanley,''if the old commodore, her father, wo n''t allow me to take her in tow?'' 34145 ''Captain Sherbourne,''inquired the boatswain, in an offended tone,''do you question my honour?'' |
34145 | ''Do n''t be cruel, husband,''said his wife;''how can you distress our daughter? 34145 ''Do you suppose,''inquired the Captain,''he had a design upon his life?'' |
34145 | ''Hide nothing from me, Mary,''said he earnestly;''but tell me, have my forebodings, regarding the monster Wates, been but too true? 34145 ''Save him!--how? |
34145 | ''Well, my hearties,''said the boatswain,''will either of you volunteer to serve his Majesty?'' 34145 ''Well,''inquired the Captain, addressing the other sea man,''what evidence have you to offer?'' |
34145 | ''What are you drifting at, Bill?'' 34145 ''What d''ye say? |
34145 | ''Why, sir''----Jack Jenkins was replying, when his wife placed her hand upon his mouth, saying--''Are you a fool, Jack?'' 34145 ''Why, then,''said Jack,''do n''t you take an example by me, and run your frigate to church at once? |
34145 | ''Why,''he exclaimed, stamping his foot as he spoke,''why am I a slave? 34145 ''William,''said she affectionately,''do you then fear to trust me? |
34145 | An''your faither-- your mother,continued the old man, hesitating as he spoke--"do they-- does she live?" |
34145 | And wha the deil cares whether ye like me or no? 34145 And what motive, miserable man,"said James,"had you for attacking the king? |
34145 | And what though I be, sir? |
34145 | And what, you knave,he said,"put it into your head to practise this imposition? |
34145 | And, I say,exclaimed Willie, looking hard at the querist, and by no means making any secret of his inquiry--"Wha the deevil are ye?" |
34145 | Anither, sir? |
34145 | Are you afraid of Kate? 34145 Are you mad, or do you glory in your wickedness?" |
34145 | Are you mad, woman? |
34145 | But are ye sure it''s him, John, after a''? |
34145 | But tell me, how did you know the king in his disguise? 34145 But, mother,"said the affectionate boy,"what will you do without me? |
34145 | But,inquired the company,"what became of Jack Jenkins?" |
34145 | By my feth, sirrah? |
34145 | Confound ye, sir!--wad ye make me a leear to my face? |
34145 | Did ye never before see a repentant sinner? 34145 Did your partner make no mention of carrying off one of the townsmen in the coach?" |
34145 | Do ye surrender in peace, ye boastin''rebel? |
34145 | Do you know anything of my boy? |
34145 | Do you really think they were devils, deacon? 34145 Dost know the king personally, Whinny? |
34145 | Doth the creature malign our staple commodity,said Satan,"and say it should be melted? |
34145 | Has any accident happened him? |
34145 | He is surely mad, after all,muttered Mrs. Gavin, to herself--"who ever heard of glass- blowers converting sinners? |
34145 | How comes it, then,said the writer,"that thou hast returned here this morning?" |
34145 | I said I would brave Heaven,he exclaimed in wild accents,"by curing a heaven- sent disease; but is Heaven to be braved by man? |
34145 | Is Mr. Gavin within? |
34145 | Is Watty Telfer to bed? |
34145 | Is he dead? 34145 Is that you, Nanny?" |
34145 | It is--he continued--"my cousin, Walter T----, who died for me? |
34145 | Mary shuddered as Rigby approached them; and boisterously said--''Who have you got there, fellow, and you upon duty? 34145 Recollect thyself, varlet,"said Satan--"didst never cheat a writer?" |
34145 | Stap up this way, will ye? |
34145 | Surely you are jesting, laird? |
34145 | Tammy, my bairn,she replied,"what have I to pardon? |
34145 | The old villain, himself, hearing the uproar, came blustering out of a room, crying--''Who are you, fellow? 34145 The very same; but who are you that know my voice?" |
34145 | They will reach us, faither,cried Archy;"do ye no see they hae muffled men before them?" |
34145 | Tuts, man,replied Sir William,"wad he hae us to disgrace our royal commission by hangin''an auld wife an a bairn? |
34145 | Wad ye be the better if ye kent? |
34145 | Wha the deil could hae tellt you that I was on the tramp, and that I was coming this way? 34145 What are ye starin at?" |
34145 | What are you going to be about? 34145 What can he mean by it, deacon?" |
34145 | What is thy name, sinner? |
34145 | What makes you think so, my man? |
34145 | What mean ye, laird?--of whom do ye speak? |
34145 | What service didst thou ever do to me? |
34145 | What want ye, friends? |
34145 | What''s that to you? 34145 What''s the matter wi''Jenny?" |
34145 | Where can I gang? |
34145 | Wherefore spier ye, auld man? |
34145 | Whom do ye bring me here? |
34145 | Why, Whinnyhill, how should I get, if I did n''t ask? |
34145 | Will you lend me a hand? |
34145 | Ye''re an example o''an honest, ay, a generous writer,said Duncan Schulebred--"wha could hae thocht ye wad hae offered to pay the stirrup- cup? |
34145 | who hired you? 34145 ''And belike you do n''t know Polly Danvers, either? 34145 ''Are they loaded, Bill?'' 34145 ''How can these fellows know how to choose their ammunition without some one to direct them?'' 34145 ''How goes it now?'' 34145 ''How goes it? 34145 ''Is not that Jack Whyte?'' 34145 ''What force and what arms has he with him, captain?'' 34145 ''What is the use of an empty pistol?'' 34145 ''Why lads,''said Tom Curlit to Bill and me,''had n''t you better stay with us altogether? 34145 (Did ye, faith?" |
34145 | ("Him!--wha?" |
34145 | And who could contemplate that position without horror? |
34145 | And who, my beloved Mary-- who now shall protect you? |
34145 | Are ye sure it was him, after all?" |
34145 | Are you then resolved and prepared to prosecute your charge?'' |
34145 | Art thou the knave?" |
34145 | At length, to the fifty- times put questions of--"Deacon, what has vexed you so sorely? |
34145 | But hoo do you expect such a service as that frae the like o''me?") |
34145 | But is it really whisky? |
34145 | But what avail such recollections? |
34145 | But what captain, think you? |
34145 | But what did he say, Bill--_upon_ what was she going to throw herself away?'' |
34145 | But what kind of linen was that ye sold him?" |
34145 | But what''s strange in the notion o''me gaun aboot the country? |
34145 | But what''s the occasion, laird?" |
34145 | But when did I dee? |
34145 | But why do they no come to me? |
34145 | But why should I trouble you with the various turns my fortunes have taken for the last thirty- seven years? |
34145 | But, no; why should he? |
34145 | By my troth, I have made a good adventure of it? |
34145 | Come, think not of it-- look not so; would a vessel of the line throw a broadside into a paltry cock- boat? |
34145 | Daughter, why dost thou stand there and say nothing? |
34145 | Dickson?" |
34145 | Did I immediately take things in great dudgeon, and depart with my pack in great wrath? |
34145 | Did I not always say thou wast born to be a lady?'' |
34145 | Did I not say that Mr. Wates meant marriage, and nothing else but marriage-- and was not I right? |
34145 | Did ye ever ken me mistaen in my life, when I said I was sure o''a''thing? |
34145 | Didst ever see him in the guise thou allud''st to?" |
34145 | Do tell us what has come of you since?" |
34145 | Do ye think I want to mak a spectacle o''mysel?" |
34145 | Do ye think the king wad think himsel demeaned by takin a nicht''s quarters frae me?" |
34145 | Do you plead guilty or not guilty?'' |
34145 | Do you remember a lad of the name of Bill Stanley-- eh?'' |
34145 | Dost know, laird, that there''s another king in your kitchen at this moment?" |
34145 | Flesh and blood, Stanley, how did ye endure it?'' |
34145 | Have we not been well employed?" |
34145 | Have we not had a happy evening? |
34145 | He took her hand in his--"Are ye sleepin'', mother?" |
34145 | Heaven knows it, and what avails it that it is concealed from earth? |
34145 | Horner!--what has happened? |
34145 | How came that figure there?" |
34145 | How could they convert you, man?" |
34145 | How dinna ye spread the intelligence? |
34145 | How else could I mak a leevin o''t?") |
34145 | How much money did you cheat our friend Andrew Gavin of?" |
34145 | I looked at him with surprise, and requested an explanation; but he answered me by the question--"Are we not sometimes bound to bear pain?" |
34145 | I will what?" |
34145 | In the morning when Archy rose to depart,"Whither gang ye, young man?" |
34145 | Is James not with you?--and, if he is not, where is he?" |
34145 | Is he not heaven- sent also? |
34145 | Is it so or not, my friend?" |
34145 | Is not all my pleasure in life to see you happy? |
34145 | Is that true?" |
34145 | Is this a time of night for a member of council to make a riot, and expose himself in the High Street? |
34145 | Need ye a commodity o''that description?" |
34145 | None the worse for thy potations last night? |
34145 | O Jenkins, speak!--tell me what is the meaning of this?'' |
34145 | Of what use was complaint? |
34145 | Oh, did you know my father?'' |
34145 | On his approach--"Well, laird,"said the King,"dost know me? |
34145 | On the conclusion of the repast--"Weel, sir,"said Willie''s host,"what direction do ye propose takin noo? |
34145 | Pray, Whinny, what like a fellow was this king you speak of?" |
34145 | Pray, can you tell me which way he has gone?" |
34145 | Pray, what does your Majesty mean?" |
34145 | Shall I confess it? |
34145 | Speak, speak, man-- who hired you?" |
34145 | Stick to the linen-- what is it worth?" |
34145 | Sure you can not be Thomas Kerr, whose shop is in Saint Mary''s Wynd?" |
34145 | There is the eighth chime of St. Giles'': what hour will strike?" |
34145 | Think ye I could again desert you? |
34145 | Think ye that anything could compensate that to your mother, James? |
34145 | To whom can a mother look for comfort or pity, when her own son has turned her out upon a cold world? |
34145 | Tom, are ye asleep? |
34145 | Wad ye believe it, noo, that that ellwand o''mine, in spite o''the wear and tear o''walkin wi''t, is a haiil inch different frae yer Edinburgh yards?" |
34145 | Was I to sit quietly down, not only under the loss, but under the suspicion that I was capable of charging twice for the same purchase? |
34145 | Was it really their own heads they threw about?" |
34145 | Was this to be endured? |
34145 | Well, what, good reader, did I do on this occasion? |
34145 | Wha wad hae thocht it? |
34145 | Whan did I disguise mysel, unless it war wi''liquor? |
34145 | Whar the deevil are ye noo, laird? |
34145 | What can Kate say to you? |
34145 | What do you know of this affair?'' |
34145 | What does the body mean by that? |
34145 | What hae I, a wicked cratur, now to expect frae thae fiends for a''the sins dune i''the body? |
34145 | What hand dealt thee that cruel blow, man?" |
34145 | What has come over my boy?" |
34145 | What has come over my boy?" |
34145 | What have we to do with to- morrow? |
34145 | What have you done with him? |
34145 | What high new wall is this? |
34145 | What is your business with me?'' |
34145 | What shall I say to the wife? |
34145 | What signifies what becomes of me, the few years I have to be on earth? |
34145 | What the deil need you care? |
34145 | What then do you fear? |
34145 | What think you of that there now, for instance?'' |
34145 | What was to be done? |
34145 | What was to be done? |
34145 | What''s a''this aboot?") |
34145 | What''s his reason? |
34145 | What''s odd about it? |
34145 | When I was in the body, how aften did I think and dream o''the bottomless pit?--can it be that I''m now in it? |
34145 | Where are your eyes? |
34145 | Where did you leave him?" |
34145 | Where is my dear boy, Fergus?" |
34145 | Where is the fearfu wa''ye spak o'', that he neither could get through nor owre? |
34145 | Where is the scarlet rogue, that we may burn out the red of his sins by the red fire of this glowing furnace?" |
34145 | Whither shall I fly for refuge? |
34145 | Who her husband had been? |
34145 | Who is he?--or what is his name? |
34145 | Why are you here at this untimeous hour?--or what is the cause of your grief?" |
34145 | Why need I proceed? |
34145 | Why will you force me thus to brave heaven, between, whose dread powers and me there is a secret compact recorded here-- here?" |
34145 | Why, man, dost think people will run after one offering one what one wants without solicitation? |
34145 | Will you arrange this for me?" |
34145 | Will you, sir, use your operating knife against the wrath of Heaven? |
34145 | Would you have me become an object for the virtuous to shun, for your enemies to triumph over and despise, and for the abandoned to insult? |
34145 | Would you raise your hand against a worm, or draw a sword against a venomous fly? |
34145 | Yet did I no fa''doon the stair o''The Barleycorn? |
34145 | You can not be him; your hair is grey?" |
34145 | You knew them, then? |
34145 | and how dare you, in such a manner, break into my house? |
34145 | can you pardon your undutiful son? |
34145 | cried Archy;"what-- what can I do for ye?" |
34145 | cried he;"what the deuce is the matter?" |
34145 | cried the old man wrathfully,''hast thou taken leave of thy senses altogether?'' |
34145 | did you ever see two men liker one another than the colonel and our new sergeant?'' |
34145 | exclaimed Andrew,"marry a woman I never saw?" |
34145 | exclaimed Captain Sherbourne in a tone of agitation,''was that the name of your mother?'' |
34145 | exclaimed Duncan Schulebred, but so as not to let any eavesdropping devil hear him--"am I_ here_ at last? |
34145 | exclaimed James, suddenly stopping on perceiving them,"what''s this? |
34145 | exclaimed Mr. Danvers, in ecstasy,''what dost thou and our daughter think of that? |
34145 | exclaimed he,''have I then a rival for your affections, one that I know not of, and whose addresses are backed by your father''s influence? |
34145 | exclaimed his wife, in an agony of horror-- she in turn having marked the serious manner of her husband--"what is this come over us? |
34145 | exclaimed the dark- eyed young woman starting,"a letter for me?" |
34145 | have I been brought to tell what I have for fifteen years shuddered to think of? |
34145 | have you entirely forgot Watty Brown, the runaway apprentice of your husband?" |
34145 | he broke forth--"What vexes me? |
34145 | how dost? |
34145 | how goes it?'' |
34145 | how?'' |
34145 | inquired the old beggar, earnestly--"are ye for the north or for the south?" |
34145 | leave your company in the moment of the expected charge? |
34145 | of good address? |
34145 | of pleasing manner? |
34145 | persecuted as the name is-- answer me truly if your name be Armstrong?" |
34145 | repeated James, now falling into a profound reverie;"ay, is he at these pranks? |
34145 | repeated the Captain, with increased agitation;''what knew you of him?'' |
34145 | replied the herald,"or shall we burn your den about your ears?" |
34145 | said James, in astonishment--"what mean ye?" |
34145 | said Mary,''what would you have me do? |
34145 | shouted the outlaw--"think ye that a poor man like Sandy Armstrong can gi''e upputtin''and provender for five hundred horse?" |
34145 | what am I to suffer for ye? |
34145 | what has happened to keep you so late?" |
34145 | what has kept me so late? |
34145 | what have we got here?" |
34145 | what is''t, Tiger?" |
34145 | what was her situation in life? |
34145 | what wilt thou do now?'' |
34145 | where is my child? |
34145 | whether she had money? |
34145 | would ye kill your King?" |
34145 | would you deceive me with the snare of the devil?'' |
32956 | ''A blessing is it?'' 32956 ''Have you ever heard,''continued he, after we were seated,''anything of your daughter Nelly?'' |
32956 | ''What light is that?'' 32956 ''Whereabouts?'' |
32956 | ''Would you know her,''continued he,''if you were again to see her?'' 32956 A brither,"ejaculated the mother and daughter in astonishment;"was he no killed by the monster, Christiecleek, in the Highland cavern?" |
32956 | Ah, then, is man''s love different from woman''s? 32956 An''what for micht he no be comin hame?" |
32956 | An''what o''the-- what d''ye ca''them-- rats? |
32956 | And is the gentleman the son of my father''s good master? 32956 And it was granted?" |
32956 | And now, laird,said Jones, addressing the latter,"what share of the honours have you got?" |
32956 | And pray who was that one, my good friend? |
32956 | And she is not easy of access, you say-- no chance of one being able to throw himself in her way? |
32956 | And what will I get for a superplus o''a pound a- head on them? |
32956 | And what,said she,"would Helen Bell not dare for the love she bears to her Adam, if that sacred feeling of a daughter''s duty were overcome? |
32956 | And who''s she? |
32956 | And ye''ve brought them back again, ye sorry simpleton? |
32956 | Any more-- any more? |
32956 | Are ye mad, man? 32956 But am I to get nae supper, Matty?" |
32956 | But hearna ye the sounds of a horse''s feet? |
32956 | But what of that? |
32956 | But what say you, madam, to his request to be attached to your court? |
32956 | But what''s become o''bonny Jean Cameron, father? 32956 But why need I dwell longer upon these horrors? |
32956 | But why should you remain here? |
32956 | But you will not have his life taken, brother? |
32956 | Can it be possible,said she,"that my aunt approves of this proceeding? |
32956 | Concealing what, sir? |
32956 | Did he give his name? |
32956 | Did she? |
32956 | Dinna ask, Maister Allan,replied Jamie;"but, for Heaven''s sake, tell me, is Sir Patrick at hame? |
32956 | Does not-- does not Mr Lawson live here? |
32956 | Doubtless, madam, you will report the matter instantly to the earl? |
32956 | Good woman,said Charles, as he approached her,"your sorrows demand my sympathy-- could I assist you?" |
32956 | Grandfather,hereupon said a fine rosy girl about fourteen,"dinner''s ready: will ye come in, or will I bring it out to you?" |
32956 | Ha, Choisseul art there? |
32956 | How are you? 32956 How can his life be spared consistently with your honour? |
32956 | How could it be otherwise, madam,replied Chatelard, bowing low,"with such a subject?" |
32956 | How much? |
32956 | I am satisfied; and Giles, I fancy, you are no ill- pleased wi''my nicht''s wark? |
32956 | If I choose to kiss this young lady, or this young lady chooses to kiss me, that''s no business of yours, I suppose? 32956 Is he adding impertinence to his folly?" |
32956 | Is it his_ Christian_ name ye ask? |
32956 | Is that you, my love? |
32956 | Is there naething in Kelpiehaugh for its master to eat or drink? |
32956 | Know ye, Tromp, or does Juliana know, who this one- eyed gallant is? |
32956 | Know ye,he went on,"if that favour is to be soon again conferred on him? |
32956 | Mary, Mary, are you awake? |
32956 | Miss Gingerly, may I ask you to give the young folks a set of quadrilles? |
32956 | Mr Hamilton, I believe? |
32956 | Mr Silky, you dance? |
32956 | Now, Choisseul,said Murray, just before dismissing the miscreant,"I may depend on you?" |
32956 | Oh, Mr Jones, hoo are ye? |
32956 | Oh, what hae I been born to suffer? |
32956 | Portrait, really-- which of them-- there''s so many? |
32956 | Saw ye the king on that day? |
32956 | She walks not much abroad, you say, my friend? |
32956 | So you were at the battle of Worcester, laird? |
32956 | Tell me, where is fancy bre_a_d? |
32956 | Tell me,he continued,"what mean ye-- what mean ye? |
32956 | Then he''ll confess nothing, Choisseul? |
32956 | Then this affair is at last arranged? |
32956 | Then, will you forgive me? |
32956 | Think you so, Adam? |
32956 | Was I known, think ye? |
32956 | Was that at the time o''his coronation? |
32956 | Was ye, feth? |
32956 | Weel, but what was the upshot o''the business? |
32956 | Well, but, faither, suppose he war to tell ye that he had seen oor Tam twa or three days syne, an''that ye micht expeck to see him hame sune? |
32956 | Well, what is your opinion about the portrait? |
32956 | Wha on earth wad hae thocht that yon blin- ee''d, broken- doon- lookin soul o''a fiddler wad hae turned oot a braw young swanky like that? 32956 Whar lives he, and what''s his Christian name?" |
32956 | What does all this mean, Robert? |
32956 | What has_ deaded_ them? |
32956 | What in all the earth can have brought him here? |
32956 | What is it then? |
32956 | What is it? 32956 What is this, Robert?" |
32956 | What is''t? |
32956 | What kept ye, sweet Helen, love? |
32956 | What know ye about the king''s gallantries at Scone? |
32956 | What mean ye by this language, sir? 32956 What means this, sir? |
32956 | What must I do with it? |
32956 | What think ye of our fair Netherlanders, laird? |
32956 | What''s brocht ye oot, woman,said Willie,"in sic a clash o''rain as this?" |
32956 | What''s improper, ma''am? |
32956 | When and whar saw ye them, if ye please, sir? 32956 Where have you been, Grizel?" |
32956 | Who was that one, my good friend,he said,"if I may ask, without subjecting myself to a charge of impertinence?" |
32956 | Whom call ye monster, young man? |
32956 | Whom have we here? |
32956 | Why, Mr Silky, what_ has_ come over you to- night? 32956 Will they not match your Scotch lasses, think you?" |
32956 | Will your honour not go up- stairs to your own favourite apartment, de leetle blue parlour? |
32956 | Wilson,said I,"do you think I could be converted into a packman? |
32956 | Wouldst know him again? |
32956 | Ye''ll be a stranger hereaboots, I mak nae doubt? |
32956 | You know who I mean, then; but how know ye that which you have just now said? 32956 ''Have not saints lips, and holy palmers, too?'' 32956 ''Have you?'' 32956 ''Who would have thought it, to look at him? 32956 An'', what think ye, faither? 32956 And, afterwards, when the teacher, in trying him promiscuously through the alphabet, would inquire,What letter is this?" |
32956 | And, without waiting for an answer,"Who occupies this apartment?" |
32956 | Answer me-- who are you?" |
32956 | Any objection, laird, to take me for your lawful, but unfortunate king? |
32956 | Are we not representatives of the people of Scotland-- the representatives of their wants and their wishes, and the defenders of their rights? |
32956 | Art thou my_ mother_? |
32956 | But how have I been so cruelly deceived? |
32956 | But what is your opinion of the portrait? |
32956 | But what the waur can the king be o''it''s bein kent that he likes the lasses? |
32956 | But where was he whom her young heart held in its core? |
32956 | But whom shall I blame? |
32956 | Can the grave give up its dead?" |
32956 | Could it be love? |
32956 | Could naething-- naething serve ye but breaking your puir auld faither''s heart? |
32956 | Could this be my old patron and captain? |
32956 | Dear, devoted, cherished object of my first passion, what has the simple heir of Kirkpatrick to give in exchange for the devotion of such a being?" |
32956 | Did hope never bring courage to your tongue, Helen? |
32956 | Didst think, most dastardly knave, that my soul was as mean as thine own? |
32956 | Do these old eyes deceive me, or art thou indeed my own darling, lost child?'' |
32956 | Do ye want the ghaists o''the auld Humes aboot yer lugs?" |
32956 | Do you entirely understand me, Choisseul?" |
32956 | Do you know anything of this Chatelard, who has lately come to court?" |
32956 | Dost know how the fellow came here, and when?" |
32956 | Folly, did I say?" |
32956 | Have I a_ mother_? |
32956 | Have I given them the slip? |
32956 | How could he have seen us?'' |
32956 | How hae you and your brither different surnames?" |
32956 | How have you dared to intrude yourself again into my apartment?" |
32956 | How shall I give utterance to the rest? |
32956 | I heard you were dead-- how did you escape?" |
32956 | I sought you everywhere in vain, and made every inquiry; but who cared aught about a homeless beggar- boy? |
32956 | If you will tell me what are the proper kinds, we will go together, by sea, to London, where you are going, and make our purchases: are you agreed?" |
32956 | Is it not so, Choisseul?" |
32956 | Is it not so?" |
32956 | Is there ony disgrace in that?" |
32956 | Is this your comfort to a deein man? |
32956 | It is-- I feel it is; and who will chide a fault of earth that hangs by a virtue of heaven? |
32956 | It was not my choice; but what have the poor to do with choice? |
32956 | It was vain to look for it in such a situation, in such a storm; but what is wealth under such circumstances, when life is scarcely to be hoped for? |
32956 | Jealousy entered the soul of the deformed; and shall we say that the same feeling was entertained by the gay and the haughty Dorrington? |
32956 | Jemima, my dear, do you hear what Mr Silky says? |
32956 | Just listen; did you ever hear the like of that?" |
32956 | Know ye not, sir,"she went on,"that your head is forfeited by this offence, and that I have but to give the word, and the forfeit will be exacted?" |
32956 | Losh, Charles, man, and how hae ye been? |
32956 | Maria, has it found one?" |
32956 | My lord, my lord,"she continued, in great agitation,"can you not, will you not save the unhappy young man? |
32956 | My_ brother_--do ye say my_ brother_? |
32956 | Nane the waur o''the bit stramash we had last nicht, I hope?" |
32956 | Need we describe the laird''s amazement at this astounding disclosure? |
32956 | Now, how often maun I warn ye no to be seen wi''Charles Lawson? |
32956 | Now, my good fellow, will you undertake to ascertain this for me? |
32956 | Pray, who or what is he, this person who has taken up his quarters in the northern gallery, and by whose authority has he been installed there?" |
32956 | Pretty doings, Mr Simon; and who, may I ask, is the happy lady that so engrosses your thoughts?" |
32956 | Say, was I right, or was I misled by the fond delusions of my own passion?" |
32956 | Sha n''t I, Jemima, dear?" |
32956 | Shall I be still bolder in asking a pardon?" |
32956 | Shall we describe the scene that followed? |
32956 | So I calls the midshipman of the watch, and says to him--"''D''ye see that large bird a- flying about there, sir? |
32956 | Speak, Agnes-- say if ye think Christiecleek would tak care o''their bodies and their gowd as weel as he tended the victims o''the Highland cave?" |
32956 | THE LAIRD OF LUCKY''S HOW Have any of our readers ever been at the Hague? |
32956 | The secresy of our meeting? |
32956 | Then, after a pause--"Know ye this favoured person''s name, Mr Chamberlain?" |
32956 | Then, calming down a moment--"You vill have no objection, Mynheer Jones, to my frow have share in the daunce?" |
32956 | Then, suddenly recovering himself, and assuming his usual cheerfulness of manner--"And what are the king''s friends about in Scotland?" |
32956 | There''s a wheen o''them taen to the hills wi''Glencairn and Balcarras; but what can they do? |
32956 | Think ye not so, my lords?" |
32956 | Wha can dispute his title, although his back be at the wa''?" |
32956 | Wha can that be chappin at the door on sic a nicht as this? |
32956 | What Scotchman has not heard the dreaded words? |
32956 | What are ye doing there? |
32956 | What could be the true meaning of this dark- minded man''s conduct? |
32956 | What gars ye gang swaggerin up an''doon that gait, lookin as ye were demented? |
32956 | What interest can he possibly hae in a kitchen collyshangy like this?" |
32956 | What is that dark body to the northward? |
32956 | What meant this? |
32956 | What pairt o''Scotland was ye in?" |
32956 | What say you, my lads? |
32956 | What then was he to do? |
32956 | What this was, he told not; but his muttering of"Who can have brought him and his servants to this part of the country at this time?" |
32956 | What uncos heard ye there?" |
32956 | What was to be done? |
32956 | What would the world say else? |
32956 | What, Adam, shall I do? |
32956 | What, in the name o''a''that''s guid or ill, possessed ye? |
32956 | When she had done,"Maria,"she said, raising her eyes from the paper, and addressing one of her French ladies,"who, think you, is this letter from?" |
32956 | When we came up to him, Bill said--"Simon, I am happy to have met you; how come you on?" |
32956 | When will he again be admitted to the presence?" |
32956 | Who are my parents?" |
32956 | Who shall gainsay it?" |
32956 | Who''s tipsy? |
32956 | Why do I find you here, sir, and wherefore have I found you in the position from which you have just now risen? |
32956 | Will that gown pay our rent?" |
32956 | Will ye gang wi''me, or come yersel?" |
32956 | Will you die like dogs, or fighting like brave men?'' |
32956 | Will you, will you, love?" |
32956 | Would Christiecleek be a suitable guardian for my dochters? |
32956 | Would ye cut yourself off from all hope of pardon, by adding offence upon offence? |
32956 | Yet is that trembling fear not a greater proof of my Helen''s love than an outspoken rejection of twenty rival suitors? |
32956 | You understand me?" |
32956 | a madman, Johnstone?" |
32956 | almost screamed the old woman;"where is he? |
32956 | and how did you leave my worthy friend the widow?" |
32956 | as the divine Shakspere says; and what are lips for, I should like to know, if not to kiss? |
32956 | can you forgive me for thinking so hardly of you?'' |
32956 | continued Jones, and now turning to that gallant--"didst think I could n''t have known thee? |
32956 | cried the mother;"to another man''s wife-- an aged matron? |
32956 | ejaculated a voice from a bedroom window, at that moment drawn up--"why have you placed a woman in my bedroom, and locked her in?" |
32956 | ejaculated the youth;"what has brought you from Craigton at this hour?" |
32956 | exclaimed Mary, in evident alarm at this ambiguous, but ominous hint--"you will not surely proceed to extremities against the unfortunate young man?" |
32956 | exclaimed he,"are we mere instruments in the hands of the king-- creatures appointed to minister to his pleasure? |
32956 | he added,"wherefore dreamed I there was one that would look with love on deformed Ebenezer? |
32956 | he cried( the name of the mastiff was Friend),"hast thou, too, left me? |
32956 | how are you?" |
32956 | is that a fact?" |
32956 | mother-- mother!--who am I? |
32956 | poor Friend!--where shall I find a companion now?" |
32956 | rejoined the astonished farmer,"are ye Maister Charles? |
32956 | said Janet, in great alarm,"what''s that? |
32956 | said Mr Hamilton, laughing--"some old sweetheart that has been waiting for you?" |
32956 | said Sir Patrick, pressing her to his breast;"and where''s the place, dearest?" |
32956 | said Tom, shaking his father heartily by the hand;"all alive and hearty-- eh?" |
32956 | said he, with emotion;"tell me, could not I assist you?" |
32956 | said the old man;"what for did ye no bring him wi''ye? |
32956 | say only that you will be mine?" |
32956 | shouted he;''who has dared to disobey the orders? |
32956 | the same, the same,"said the earl;"but how obtained he access to the queen, know ye?" |
32956 | were they brothers by blood or by marriage-- brothers in profession-- or, like Simeon and Levi, in iniquity? |
32956 | what do you mean?" |
32956 | what hae ye brocht us to?" |
32956 | what''s the matter wi''ye, wi''yer maybes an''yer supposes? |
32956 | what_ are_ you about?" |
32956 | wo n''t you lend our friend here your fiddle?" |
34151 | A villain, did you say, Cressingham? |
34151 | Alice,replied he,"can ye doubt me? |
34151 | Am I lying on a bed of roses? |
34151 | Am not I a Plantagenet? |
34151 | And after it had passed, would it leave as little impression upon your heart, Flora, as the shadow o''a cloud does upon a river? |
34151 | And what wad ye say if ye had your will, ye braggart knave? |
34151 | And what would Mary''s Marion,answered she,"care for a spark, whilk only noo throws oot a glimmer to show her her shame?" |
34151 | And wherefore should I speak at evens,answered Hume,"with the like o''you, who are at best but the king o''gaberlunzie men?" |
34151 | And why,said I, laughingly,"did you not share the fortunes of the man in whom you thus took so deep an interest?" |
34151 | And_ then_, dear Phil, will you come back again? |
34151 | Are you quite sure? |
34151 | Are you ready? |
34151 | Art thou Elizabeth of Dunbar, the gentle daughter of the Earl of March? |
34151 | But how will it be known? |
34151 | Can it be possible? |
34151 | Can it be----? |
34151 | Dear Marion,said he,"wherefore remind me of this? |
34151 | Did you ever hear your unfortunate friend speak of one Miss Eliza Stewart? |
34151 | Did you ever imagine you were anything else? 34151 Did you not know that before, John?" |
34151 | Do you know me, villain? 34151 Do you know the brother of Fanny Rutherford, murderer? |
34151 | Does she live?--does she live? |
34151 | Doth Madeline Aubrey reside here? |
34151 | Escape!--how?--by what means? |
34151 | For what funeral? |
34151 | Had Giulio, the Italian, need to be here too? |
34151 | Had my dear friend plenty, and was she well cared for in her last moments? |
34151 | Harry,he said,"are you in earnest?" |
34151 | How, in all the world, came you to appear to me in the dress and character of a servant girl-- you, who are a lady both by birth and education? |
34151 | I am,replied Alexander;"but what signifies that, my lord? |
34151 | I do,answered John;"what aboot her, my dear Mary?" |
34151 | I have not seen my cousin Edward since we were children together; but how know ye that he is in Yorkshire? 34151 I hope at least, sir, that the recollections I recalled were not unpleasing ones?" |
34151 | I take not my answer from a woman''s tongue,replied the herald;"what say ye, Sir Governor? |
34151 | In the name of God, who are you? |
34151 | Is it thy heart that so speaketh, or thy judgment? 34151 Is it well that we should look like imprisoned doves upon yon rebel host? |
34151 | Is that you, Mary Glenday? |
34151 | Is this the far- famed chivalry of Sir William Montague? 34151 It is then to her that ye allude?" |
34151 | Joy ye not that I have returned sound in life and limb? |
34151 | Ken ye Mary Gray, John? |
34151 | Maiden,said the stranger, accosting her,"can you inform me where Mrs Mordington resides?" |
34151 | My cup o''wretchedness is full,cried the bereaved mother;"have I none left-- not one-- not even my Alexander, my youngest, the comfort o''my age? |
34151 | Of whom does your heart tell you that I speak? |
34151 | Of whom speak ye? |
34151 | Oh, speak not thus to me, dear sir; I but did my duty, and am I not already more than repaid? 34151 Philip, my son,"said he to him, one day,"why have you not confided in me, your oldest and dearest friend? |
34151 | Pray, Mr Douglas,said General Fortescue, addressing himself to Philip,"is your father a Scotchman? |
34151 | Sayest thou so, Ramorgny? |
34151 | Speak, silly one,said the countess, who had overheard them--"where lies your hope? |
34151 | That she is, Tom,replied Raeburn;"would n''t you fancy such a girl as that, now, for a wife, Tom?" |
34151 | Then whose son is he? |
34151 | Then, I suppose,said the prince,"I owe my life to thy ladyship''s mercy, extended by way of tender exception to my individual case?" |
34151 | We know that,some dweller on the Borders may exclaim;"but what has Wark Castle to do with the Order of the Garter?" |
34151 | Weel, maidens,said he, sternly,"how like ye your abode at Herdmanstone? |
34151 | Well, Ramorgny,cried the prince, as he met the knight in the audience- chamber of the palace,"what progress hast thou made in the south? |
34151 | Well, good folk,inquired the general,"what would ye wi''me?" |
34151 | What are complexions and dispositions, to golden acres? 34151 What are ye doing here at this time o''nicht?" |
34151 | What are you afraid of? 34151 What can this mean?" |
34151 | What do you mean, woman? |
34151 | What does it signify to you who I am? 34151 What dreadful language is this, Edward? |
34151 | What is that? |
34151 | What think_ ye_ of_ your_ fair ladye''s plan for our deliverance, good brother? |
34151 | What want ye? |
34151 | When is he to return, grandfather? |
34151 | Wherefore are ye sad, my sweet Madeline? |
34151 | Wherefore would my William fly? |
34151 | Who,rejoined the gipsy, slyly,"is nearest to your heart?--who nearest to your door? |
34151 | Why are ye here, then, Mary? |
34151 | Why do n''t you come down? |
34151 | Ye admit that my dochter winna hae ye; and wharfore should I endeavour to force her luve? 34151 Yes, I joy that my William is safe,"answered Madeline;"but will our safety last? |
34151 | Your brother? |
34151 | ( this I knew from M''Intyre)"and how, above all, did you effect the escape of our unfortunate friend?" |
34151 | A philosopher would laugh-- what shall the merry- making Rothsay do?" |
34151 | A thocht has come into my head-- why has it been sae lang o''comin? |
34151 | Again he approached, and, leaning upon the gate where she still stood, said, in a voice almost choked--"Helen, do you love that person?" |
34151 | And art thou really the son of my dearest and earliest friend? |
34151 | And how has enthusiasm wrought in me? |
34151 | And how think ye that Sir Patrick or his brother George( if ye will speak of him) are to hear of our confinement? |
34151 | And, in a low voice, she sung--"O, saw ye my laddie comin, Johnny? |
34151 | Are you all ready with that gun, Mr Wad?" |
34151 | Are you content?" |
34151 | Art thou quite sure thy advice is purer, sounder, truer, and wiser, than that of my council?" |
34151 | Ask her if she threw ony bluid on my faither''s coat on that awfu nicht when yer faither was murdered?" |
34151 | But come, love, wherefore are ye so sad-- what troubles thee?" |
34151 | But how is Miss Douglas?" |
34151 | But is it to Joan Plantagenet that ye talk of impossibilities? |
34151 | But let forty years, with Juggernaut wheels, crash and creak over us, and where are the happy hearts and merry voices? |
34151 | But what is the love-- the passion of poetry-- but enthusiasm-- enthusiasm which converts everything it looks upon into beauty and sublimity? |
34151 | But what modest flower is this that ye deck with your hard- won diamond?" |
34151 | But what papers are these?" |
34151 | But whence come ye, Aubrey, and when?" |
34151 | But where was the master ruffian all this time? |
34151 | But whither would you flee to escape it? |
34151 | But who can or does resist? |
34151 | But who, in Heaven''s name, are you?" |
34151 | But why do n''t you bring out the girl, and marry her at once yourself, Harry?" |
34151 | But, as we have excited the general''s curiosity, have you any objection to my gratifying it, by reciting the history of your life?" |
34151 | But, as ye seem acquainted with her, will not ye tarry till she come?" |
34151 | Can ye inform us, good man, where we shall find her?" |
34151 | Colin, you rascal, what have you there? |
34151 | Could it be that he was now, in his turn, the unsuccessful rival of the Italian? |
34151 | Could true knight die in nobler cause? |
34151 | Did you come with the ship that arrived from England to- day, sir?" |
34151 | Did you never know of a gentleman wearing a dirk before? |
34151 | Did you think, ruffian, that you were safe from my vengeance, because the half of the globe lay between us? |
34151 | Do n''t you like Cressingham? |
34151 | Do ye no remember the purposes for which the weak things o''this earth were chosen?" |
34151 | Do ye surrender in peace, or choose ye that we raze Wark Castle with the ground?" |
34151 | Do you know me?" |
34151 | Do you mark that form sitting amongst the sands of Syracuse? |
34151 | Dost thou observe the difference there? |
34151 | Flora rushed forward, she placed her hand on Alexander''s arm--"Forbear!--what would you do?" |
34151 | Have ye faith to venture sae far?" |
34151 | Have ye forgot the command,''Be not unequally yoked?'' |
34151 | Have you never experienced any such nervous enthusiasm as this? |
34151 | Have you not earned a right to call her yours?" |
34151 | Have you seen her within these four days?" |
34151 | Having tapped gently at the door, which was slowly opened to him by the lodging- house- keeper herself--"How is your patient to- night, lady?" |
34151 | How strangely was I attracted towards you both, but more especially towards your friend, whom I presume to be your younger brother?" |
34151 | How was he employed, and how did he feel, while this dreadful and affecting scene was enacting? |
34151 | How would Black Agnes have answered to the speech thou didst now address to her descendant, thinkest thou?" |
34151 | I acknowledge and am ashamed of my folly; what can I do more? |
34151 | If I had not been a cause of shame to my parents, would they have deserted me?" |
34151 | If thou wert not, didst thou not deserve the harmless deception? |
34151 | If ye flee from the pestilence, would ye flee also from the eye of Him who sends it?" |
34151 | Is it meet that time should go backwards, and that, by force and through blood, the order of nature should be changed? |
34151 | Is that like a Queen o''Scotland and the wife o''Darnley? |
34151 | Is there naebody ye can see to like but her? |
34151 | Is your heart changed, Flora-- hae ye forgot me-- or do ye wish to forget me?" |
34151 | Margaret blushed, and playfully replied,"Well, sister, is there no valorous knight at Wedderburn but Sir Patrick? |
34151 | Mind ye since he sang it beneath our window at Kimmerghame?" |
34151 | My dear schoolfellows, where are you? |
34151 | No writing, or other notice of his birth?" |
34151 | O, saw ye my laddie comin? |
34151 | Oh, what will my poor Flora say?" |
34151 | Or shall ye, Sir Governor, discharge your duty to your sovereign, if ye strike not one blow for England and revenge?" |
34151 | Pale as ashes, with the tears streaming down his cheeks, he exclaimed--"Not your grandson, sir? |
34151 | Reader, have you always been made of pot- mettle? |
34151 | Shall I allow a poor woman to be murdered in the solitude of nature, without making an effort, even at the risk of my own life, to save her? |
34151 | Shall the Prince of Scotland sue in vain to the subjects of his father for the boon of a dagger? |
34151 | She questioned herself why did she secrete the sword-- run home with it-- wash it and scour it? |
34151 | Sister, will you not upbraid me?" |
34151 | Struck by thy own sword of lath, wilt thou amputate the offending hand? |
34151 | That benignant smile!--can there be treachery there? |
34151 | That frank and open manner!--is that assumed? |
34151 | That kind and gentle look!--can that deceive? |
34151 | The letter commenced thus--"MY DEAREST, DEAREST FANNY,--What is the meaning of this? |
34151 | The man is born desert and lonely: and is there no beauty in solitude-- no grandeur in expansion? |
34151 | The mountains are highland, wild, heathy, and tempest- beaten: and is there no sublimity in their cliffs, their scarred fronts, and scarred sides? |
34151 | Then who am I? |
34151 | Thy tarrying indicates enjoyment; for when did Ramorgny wait, when there was not something to afford him pleasure and amusement?" |
34151 | To a decent hotel, then?--or, probably, he consigned her to the care of some respectable female friend or acquaintance? |
34151 | To his own splendid mansion? |
34151 | To you, under Heaven, I owe both: how can I express my gratitude?" |
34151 | Was ever a man sae confounded? |
34151 | Was she afraid of her father being charged as the murderer? |
34151 | Was there nothing in the scenery of his birthplace that he should admire it? |
34151 | What are the earlier pages of Livy''s"History"but popular ballads, connected and narratived? |
34151 | What careth the housewife, who wanteth strong broth, for the colour of the capon''s tail?" |
34151 | What does this mean? |
34151 | What dost thou think she recommended to me, to increase the powers of my manhood? |
34151 | What grounds on earth have you for anticipating so dreadful a catastrophe? |
34151 | What is thy course?" |
34151 | What need ye always harp on that string? |
34151 | What sayest thou now to the other Bess?" |
34151 | What the history of our own Scotland-- of her Bruces, and Wallaces, and all her many and valorous achievements-- but ballads? |
34151 | What think ye of George Hume?" |
34151 | What was to be done? |
34151 | What will the partiality of a father''s love not accomplish? |
34151 | What would Elizabeth Douglas think, if she were informed that she was likened to the wife of Socrates, and the slipper- castigator of Hercules?" |
34151 | What would you give, you rogues, you, for such a creature as that for a wife?" |
34151 | When the lot fell upon me to be the first to cross the Tweed at Hirselhaugh into England, are ye not the stripling that was the first to follow me?" |
34151 | When ye see the green turf lying on the grave ye hae helped to dig, will that be ony cause o''pride, or exultation, or thanksgiving? |
34151 | Where am I to be carried to? |
34151 | Where am I? |
34151 | Where, laddie-- where are a''the precepts I endeavoured to inculcate into you now? |
34151 | Who may they be? |
34151 | Who would condescend to fight such a dastardly and disgraceful villain as you are? |
34151 | Why do n''t you answer? |
34151 | Why not Catherine?--your Catherine? |
34151 | Why take guilt to thyself?" |
34151 | Will you do this, and save the life of your unfortunate friend?" |
34151 | Wilt thou aid me in my suit, and endeavour to persuade thy daughter that she ought to yield to the influence of my love?" |
34151 | Wot ye not that they know not where we are; or, if they should know, they will not apprehend that evil could befall us in the house of our relative?" |
34151 | Ye may do a''this, sir; and when ye hae dune it, what will ye hae accomplished? |
34151 | Yet shall age supplant youth? |
34151 | Yet, was she not in fact alarmed? |
34151 | Your mother''s name is Marion?" |
34151 | added he, glancing towards Madeline; and, without waiting a reply, he turned to the countess, saying,"Is she of thy suite, dear coz? |
34151 | am I refused this request? |
34151 | and am not I a lucky fellow to have secured the affections of so charming a woman? |
34151 | asked Marion;"for who knows that we are here?" |
34151 | do you not know me? |
34151 | do you wear a weapon of that kind about you? |
34151 | exclaimed Cressingham--"is it possible? |
34151 | exclaimed Dr Henderson-- the name of Fanny''s medical attendant--"what right have you to satisfaction? |
34151 | exclaimed Sir Patrick,"speak ye of my Margaret?" |
34151 | exclaimed her brother,"have I hastened to my native land, but to behold thee die?" |
34151 | exclaimed she; then, looking timidly and inquiringly around, she added,"But where is Mr Fortescue?" |
34151 | exclaimed the fisherman;"pray, sir, how could ye deny it? |
34151 | exclaimed the late captive,"will you make me appear more contemptible than a worm in my own eyes? |
34151 | exclaimed the monarch,"the paragon of our tournament the sister of bold Aubrey? |
34151 | have I been living from my earliest years a poor dependant upon your bounty? |
34151 | he ejaculated, in a broken voice--"what of her?" |
34151 | he exclaimed--"Mr Stuart?" |
34151 | how can I ever prove my gratitude to you for your unvaried affection and kindness?" |
34151 | in what have I offended him? |
34151 | inquired his auditors;"why, what law is that?" |
34151 | it is all nonsense; who cares anything about these things_ now_?" |
34151 | my dear fellow, how are you?" |
34151 | my little Madeline a woman?" |
34151 | replied Fanny, bursting into tears,"what is the meaning of this solemn objurgation? |
34151 | said Alice,"hae ye forgot yoursel athegither, or rather hae ye forgot your Bible? |
34151 | said Edward, in surprise;"was he a Douglas of Eskhall?" |
34151 | said little Gavin, leaving his stronghold between Douglas''s knees,"was not that an awful storm?" |
34151 | said the cold- blooded Italian;"wilt thou become my wife?" |
34151 | she cried, with a wild scream--"ken ye that woman that is ca''ed Mary''s Marion?" |
34151 | she cried,"am I to be disgraced-- is the truth to be deserted by my youngest and dearest-- the Benjamin o''my age? |
34151 | she cried,"who will take my part when you are gone? |
34151 | she exclaimed--"flows not the blood of England in my veins?--and shall I tamely behold our enemies parade the spoils of my country before mine eyes? |
34151 | she''s not dead?" |
34151 | shouted he;"what say you, my lads?" |
34151 | what is the matter with Catherine?" |
34151 | who could have thought that you would have been guilty of this?" |
34151 | who dares to take a peep into the charnel- house of fifty years? |
34151 | who will tell, who will comfort her? |
32862 | A good stickler for the rights of your sex,answered she, keeping up the humour;"but what guerdon demandest thou?" |
32862 | Am I dreamin'', or am I betrayed? 32862 And I shall see her-- I shall embrace my child again?" |
32862 | And have you not something else to infer? |
32862 | And punishment still awaits you? |
32862 | And so your visit,I said,"was a very brief one?" |
32862 | And what has come of Ferguson now? |
32862 | And whence come ye? |
32862 | And whence go ye? |
32862 | And where may she be found? |
32862 | And who has purchased it? |
32862 | And who is this lovely creature? |
32862 | And why has he left so fair a retreat to the desolation that has overtaken it? |
32862 | And why of the_ stranger_, dame? |
32862 | Andrew Smith,cried he, sternly, and stamping his foot fiercely on the floor,"what scene is this I see? |
32862 | Anything new to- day, Thomas? |
32862 | Are ye gaun to be a minister tae? |
32862 | Are-- are-- are-- we-- near-- Mon-- trose, captain? |
32862 | At whar? |
32862 | Bairns,said he,"did nane o''ye ask the sailor to come up and tak a bit o''dinner wi''us?" |
32862 | But how, in all the world,said our friend, communing with himself during this interval,"has he got into a vessel from Rotterdam? |
32862 | But tell me all, woman,cried Clennel,"as you hope for either pardon or protection-- where is my son, my little Harry? |
32862 | But whar''s the ferly? 32862 But what''s this?" |
32862 | But who will answer for_ her_? |
32862 | But why has he left a retreat fairer than any I have yet seen throughout a long pilgrimage over many lands? |
32862 | But,added Thomas,"in what way could we get the money to him? |
32862 | Can ye tell me, freen, how far I may be frae Brechin? |
32862 | Could you tell me anything of the writer? |
32862 | Did I no read distinctly on the ticket that was fastened to yer shroods, that ye were bound for Leith? |
32862 | Did ever I disobey you, mother? |
32862 | Do I look like a dead man? |
32862 | Do you not see it?--do you not see it all? |
32862 | Do you see that little chest, sir? |
32862 | Father,returned the youth,"would ye have me to kill a man in cold blood?" |
32862 | Five barrels, said ye, Monsieur? |
32862 | Hae ye a gig in wi''ye? |
32862 | Hae ye a stock o''the treasure? |
32862 | Has feud ran awa wi''yer senses, Otterstone? |
32862 | Have ye no feeling-- no heart? 32862 Have you not accomplished all you so fondly purposed-- realized even your warmest wishes? |
32862 | Have you yet formed,inquired my companion,"any plan for the future?" |
32862 | He has been my tenant for more than twenty years, say ye? |
32862 | How long,I inquired of his sister, in a low whisper,"has Mr. Ferguson been so unwell, and what has injured his head?" |
32862 | How was it,I at length said,"that you were the gayest in the party of last night?" |
32862 | I cam last frae Alloa,said Johnny,"and I want to ken, sir, if I''m onything near to Brechin?" |
32862 | I could walk on my bare feet to Berwick to see it and taste it,said the baron;"but what clatter o''a horse''s feet is that in the court, Kate?" |
32862 | I would rather be lauched at,added she,"than despised for breaking my word; and, if oor laird break his noo, wha wadna despise him?" |
32862 | If you can not effect it, who may try? 32862 Is it really so? |
32862 | Is it so? |
32862 | Is she no fit to mak heirs to Otterstone? 32862 Is that all you know?" |
32862 | Janet, where is Thomas? |
32862 | Maister Hardie,said the widow,"what have I, a stranger widow woman, done to deserve this kindness at your hands? |
32862 | Margaret, dear,said he,"I canna comprehend ye-- wherefore should I thrust my head into the lion''s den? |
32862 | Mine Got, did you not know you vas in Hollands? 32862 Mr. Ferguson,"I said--"Mr. Ferguson,"for he was withdrawing his head,"do you not remember me?" |
32862 | Not dead, do ye say? |
32862 | Now, Willie,cried she, addressing him,"wha rues it now? |
32862 | O Robert, why do you speak so? |
32862 | Pray, what has the Scotch plaid to do here? 32862 See''st thou that grave?--does mortal know Aught of the dust that lies below? |
32862 | This is, indeed, strange,said I;"but let me hear how it is that I have the honour of a visit from you at this time and in this place?" |
32862 | To what tends this mummery? 32862 Troth, my doo, and I believe ye''re richt,"replied Thomas;"but wha could hae thocht o''sic an expedient? |
32862 | Vell, mine freend, vat you vant? |
32862 | Vy,_ mon cher_ Innerkepple,replied the merchant,"did I not know that you were one grand biberon-- I mean drinker of vin? |
32862 | Well, what want ye, my bonny lass? |
32862 | Wha, in God''s name, are ye, man? |
32862 | Whar is my leddy, yer Honour? |
32862 | What Brown? |
32862 | What can be the meanin''o''this? |
32862 | What can the folk be wantin''? |
32862 | What can there be in my simple, natural, and reasonable question, to astonish folk sae muckle? |
32862 | What did you expect on coming here? 32862 What if I am or am not?" |
32862 | What in a''the earth can be the meanin''o''this? |
32862 | What is a man but his word? |
32862 | What is it? |
32862 | What mean ye, husband? |
32862 | What mean ye, woman? 32862 What mean ye, woman?" |
32862 | What means this? |
32862 | What species o''sma''potation does he deal in? 32862 What, in the name o''heaven, means a''this, Kate?" |
32862 | What? |
32862 | When-- oh, when? |
32862 | Where hae ye been, Peter? |
32862 | Where''s the guidman, Kate? |
32862 | Who''s there? |
32862 | Who, in the name of wonder, is that? |
32862 | Whom have we here? |
32862 | Whose work is this? |
32862 | Why sorrow for me, sirs? |
32862 | Will she consent to the drawbridge bein''raised at a time when the castle''s nearly empty? |
32862 | Wilt thou still refuse the hand? |
32862 | You may tell me, then, if one Dame Scott lives in these parts? |
32862 | You will go with me? |
32862 | Your foes have no fair damsel to inspire them; and who shall resist those whose arms are nerved in defence of an old chief and a young mistress? 32862 _ Your_ coach?" |
32862 | ''But why are ye no puttin''up your silk goun, Jessy?'' |
32862 | ''Well, Jacob, any letters for me to- day?'' |
32862 | ''Where is my son?'' |
32862 | ''Why grieve yourself in that way, mother?'' |
32862 | ''Why, what the devil''s the matter now?'' |
32862 | --"As that which I bear to Robert?" |
32862 | Accordingly one of them addressed him:--"Your name vas John Jones, mynheer?" |
32862 | Alice Scott was changed; yet, who shall tell what that change was? |
32862 | Alice to come and fly to you with open arms?" |
32862 | Am I a prisoner in my ain castle, and my ain men and dochter laughing at my misfortune? |
32862 | Am I never to get safe to either ae place or anither?--either to hame or to Brechin? |
32862 | An''isna it clear heterodox besides? |
32862 | An''what can I do to comfort ye? |
32862 | And now, who sits there?" |
32862 | And on such a day, too? |
32862 | And shall I see my bairn again? |
32862 | And whence this change? |
32862 | And who may be your benefactor?" |
32862 | Are ye the Devil? |
32862 | Are you acquainted with''The Guidwife of Auchtermuchty?''" |
32862 | Arena ye his daughter?" |
32862 | Armstrong?" |
32862 | Art thou married, sirrah?" |
32862 | Born nobles and neighbours, educated civilized men, and baptized Christians, why should ye be foes? |
32862 | But how-- how were ye torn away from us, my love? |
32862 | But whar was the use o''secresy, woman? |
32862 | But what could I do? |
32862 | But what hand shall bear Alice Scott from Whitecraigs?" |
32862 | But what have we gained? |
32862 | But what was to be done? |
32862 | But what, after all, could poor Sarah do, but marry Will M''Guffock, and thus amply provide, not only for herself, but for her mother and sister? |
32862 | But who cares for the unhappy?" |
32862 | But who in all the world is Johnny Armstrong?" |
32862 | But ye''re surely no in earnest, freen,"he added, in a desperate hope that it might, after all, be but a joke,"when ye say that I''m in Holland?" |
32862 | By- the- by, saw ye the callant in France? |
32862 | Can so much beauty conceal a deadly purpose? |
32862 | Can these, I exclaimed, be the sounds of misery when at the deepest? |
32862 | Do ye no rue it?" |
32862 | Do you ever go to buffets with yourself, Mr. Lindsay? |
32862 | Do you ever mock, in your sadder moods, the hopes which render you happiest when you are gay? |
32862 | Do you hear me, man? |
32862 | Do you think a coward could have run away with half the coolness? |
32862 | Does he live?--where shall I find him?" |
32862 | Does my bonny Margaret really consent to make me the happiest man on earth? |
32862 | Father, mother, do n''t you know me? |
32862 | Had we burned his house, the punishment would have been death; and shall we do less to him than he would do to us?" |
32862 | Hae ye brocht it frae my ain cellars? |
32862 | Harry Clennel!--would you murder your father? |
32862 | Has all my labour been fruitless?" |
32862 | Have you really forgot your own son? |
32862 | He could not have been there, surely? |
32862 | He is in the egg still in America, and must sleep there till the next age.--But when last heard you of your brother?" |
32862 | He was rudely dragged before them, and Willie Faa cried--"Ken ye the culprit?" |
32862 | Her appearance interested the guard; and as she stood singing before the gate--"What want ye, pretty face?" |
32862 | Her heart fell heavily within her; all the mother gushed into her bosom; and, rising from the table,"What in the world can be the meaning o''this?" |
32862 | Hoo cam ye here, Otterstone? |
32862 | How do you sell this?" |
32862 | How happens it that we find a Countess of Wistonbury arrayed in the costume of Caledonia?" |
32862 | How is this? |
32862 | How long is it since your husband died?" |
32862 | How, in Heaven''s name, am I ever to fin''my way hame again? |
32862 | I forgot,"replied she laughing;"but turn up thy face-- art thou the man?" |
32862 | I see the_ living_ part of your lot, and it seems instinct with happiness; but in what does the_ dead_, the stony part, consist?" |
32862 | If the slow and even progress of the spirit may defy the eye of the metaphysician, who may describe its moods of disturbance? |
32862 | If we keep free o''_ that_, what hae we to fear? |
32862 | Is it not grand and magnifique?" |
32862 | Is it possible, Otterstone, ye hae repented o''yer ill will, and come to mak amends for past grievances?" |
32862 | Is not this a sin?--and can I, with an intention of doing what I know to be wrong, safely communicate?" |
32862 | Is this fair youth your son, old man?" |
32862 | Ken ye not that the humble adder which ye tread upon can destroy ye-- that the very wasp can sting ye, and there is poison in its sting? |
32862 | Lauderdale again wondered, and, with a look of mingled curiosity and confusion, inquired--"Wherefore do ye come-- and why do ye seek me?" |
32862 | Mind ye not when ye was stolen frae your mother''s side, as ye gathered wild flowers in the wood?" |
32862 | Need I say, good reader, that I at once and gladly accepted an invitation that so happily combined the intellectual and the sensual? |
32862 | Now, tell me, Clennel, am I no revenged? |
32862 | Now, will you answer me a question?" |
32862 | O gentle death, when wilt thou come, An''tak a life that wearies me?" |
32862 | Of what family?" |
32862 | Or how is it in the power o''words for me to thank ye? |
32862 | Shall I hae a gem at Tollishill that I wadna exchange for a monarch''s diadem?" |
32862 | She might go-- but whither? |
32862 | Sir,"he added,"were you ever yourself in the situation of him whose feelings you have thus, from good motives, quickened so painfully?" |
32862 | Speak ye to torment me, or tell me truly, have I seen my son?" |
32862 | The auld Jews were, doubtless, gran''Christians, an''wherefore no guid philosophers too? |
32862 | The first salutations over--"But where on all the earth, Mr. Armstrong,"said our friend,"have you been for these three months back?" |
32862 | The stranger started, and immediately exclaimed--"Dead!--dead!--who said I was dead?" |
32862 | The wonder of Lauderdale increased, and he replied--"Monk will keep his word-- but what mean ye of him?" |
32862 | Then, how, in the name o''wonder, is it that I canna mak''it out like ither folk, let me do as I like?" |
32862 | To whom does Whitecraigs now belong?" |
32862 | Vat is de meaning of all dis, mine goot freend?" |
32862 | Vere dat?" |
32862 | Vere you come from, in all de vorlds, you not know dat?" |
32862 | Well, what bring ye?--the rents o''Tollishill, or their equivalent?" |
32862 | Were ye not aware of that, sir? |
32862 | Whar got ye''t, man? |
32862 | Whar is the wine merchant? |
32862 | What can have been your motive, my lord, for using the highly improper and most unguarded language which I have just now heard you utter?'' |
32862 | What could hae possessed ye to gie up the puir chield''s name i''the prayer, an''him sittin''at yer lug?" |
32862 | What could have induced a man of genius to associate with a thing so thoroughly despicable?" |
32862 | What do you mean by asking me that question? |
32862 | What do you stare at, fool?'' |
32862 | What is the price?" |
32862 | What other coach could it be?" |
32862 | What''s the meaning o''this?" |
32862 | When the sod is cauld upon my breast, who will look after my puir orphan-- my bonny faitherless and motherless Margaret? |
32862 | Where can you have been bottled up from literature of late? |
32862 | Where is Professor Lockerby?'' |
32862 | Where is the shepherd stocking- weaver, with his wires and his fingers moving invisibly? |
32862 | Where the"wee and the muckle wheel,"with the aged dames, in pletted toys, singing"Tarry woo?" |
32862 | Where will she find a hame?" |
32862 | Whom, think ye, ye treat wi''contempt? |
32862 | Why do n''t you take a pattern by me, who fear nothing, and believe only the agreeable? |
32862 | Will you risk a meeting?" |
32862 | Would you receive him kindly, or turn him from the door of the house of his fathers?" |
32862 | Ye comprehend me, Andrew?" |
32862 | Ye surely dinna mean to say that I''m in Holland the noo?" |
32862 | You remember, mother, the poor starling that was killed in the room beside us? |
32862 | [ 5] Under this name we choose, for obvious reasons, to conceal the real one.--_Ed._"How far distant is it?" |
32862 | a suffocating man?" |
32862 | and, without waiting an answer, he continued--"How is it possible he can be absent at a time like this? |
32862 | are my misfortunes never to hae an end, till they hae finished me outricht? |
32862 | are you shipwrack agen?" |
32862 | but, above all, why should the one strike with the sword of war the hand that has held out to him the wine- cup? |
32862 | continued the other-- and he tore his hair in agony--"hae ye nae mercy?" |
32862 | cried Elspeth, following him,"would ye fling away revenge for half a minute''s satisfaction?" |
32862 | did ye kill ony o''Otterstone''s men?" |
32862 | did_ ma chere_ leddy combattre Otterstone?" |
32862 | exclaimed Jessy''s mother, here interrupting her, and now smiling as she spoke--''how can ye think o''singing at such a time? |
32862 | exclaimed Johnny, with dreadful energy,"are ye no gaun to Leith?--is this no a Leith boat?" |
32862 | exclaimed one of the lads,"hae ye been fechtin wi''the cats? |
32862 | exclaimed the guidman,"and the gimmers!--where did ye leave them, Jamie?" |
32862 | ha!--Clennel, am I revenged?" |
32862 | he cried,"do n''t you know your own Tom? |
32862 | he exclaimed, as he entered, and threw his arms around her neck,"what''s this come upon us at last?" |
32862 | he inquired;"hae nane o''ye seen him?" |
32862 | he said;"why grieve for me? |
32862 | hoo in the world do ye ken?" |
32862 | my treacherous Adonis, art on that tack, with a foul wind in thy fair face?" |
32862 | replied Thomas, pausing in his operations;''where''s the old girl a- going to?'' |
32862 | replied he;"is he no cast up yet?" |
32862 | replied she,"and what spirit nerved the dead lumber, thinkest thou?" |
32862 | resumed the laird;"what means your carousin''wi''sic a gang? |
32862 | said I,"was she not of some distinguished house?" |
32862 | said he,"is this possible? |
32862 | said she, eagerly;"hae ye seen naething o''him?" |
32862 | said the earl, as she was admitted into his prison;"and you have not forgotten the snowball in June?" |
32862 | said the old baron, joining in the laugh,"will ever mortal be able to seize what are sae weel guarded? |
32862 | said this person, who spoke broken English--"vere you come from?" |
32862 | screamed the prisoner--"monster, what is it that ye say? |
32862 | she exclaimed, as she made her way into the interior of the house:''where is the Earl of Wistonbury?'' |
32862 | she exclaimed,"can you take me to her now?" |
32862 | tell me how!--how!--Did ye say, living?--Is my ain Thomas living?" |
32862 | vat you here again for, man? |
32862 | was Willie Wilson? |
32862 | wha are ye squiring at?" |
32862 | where was ye when I was christened Squire? |
32862 | where-- where hae you been?" |
34149 | A porter, sir? |
34149 | And could his forgiveness afford you relief? |
34149 | And do ye believe the words o''the ruffian wha thus hounds me? |
34149 | And do you intend, madam, to leave it past him? |
34149 | And is this true? 34149 And wha''s that?" |
34149 | And what wad ye be asking to carry the bit box there? |
34149 | And why no, my love, if ane is innocent? |
34149 | And you will not tell her? |
34149 | Are ye resolved, Alice? |
34149 | But can it be, Mike, that you are so hardened in vice that you can laugh in a jail? |
34149 | But whar is the coach, wi''its contents, I was to send on to Newcastle? 34149 But where is the portmanteau and the papers?" |
34149 | But ye''ll keep them at least to yersel, Alice? |
34149 | But, doctor,said he,"why were you so hard of belief? |
34149 | But, how, Innes, man,inquired Sandy,"could ye hae found heart to leave Scotland, without seein the puir lassie, your sweetheart? |
34149 | Campbell, sir? 34149 Could I speak wi''you a moment?" |
34149 | Could you not stimulate their noses with a red herring drag? 34149 D''ye see ought?" |
34149 | David Hoggins,said he,"are you in?" |
34149 | Dear Jamie, tell us about Walter-- what o''him? |
34149 | Deeply-- deeply, my son; but what avails it? |
34149 | Did I no tell ye afore, that the leddy was safe and sound at her journey''s end? 34149 Did he make any resistance?" |
34149 | Did she no send ony word back by ye? |
34149 | Didna you love Mike? |
34149 | Do n''t you know me, doctor? |
34149 | Do ye no recollect,said Lewis,"o''giein a man on a black mare twenty guineas to mak a red- herrin drag across the nose o''Mr Anson?" |
34149 | Do you not remember poor old Moome? |
34149 | Do_ you_ think, sir,replied she,"that I ought not to delay that act?" |
34149 | Eh, John!--whar was''t?--what was''t like? |
34149 | Has not the glass fallen very fast, captain? |
34149 | Hasking? |
34149 | He was implicated in the rebellion of 1745? |
34149 | Here, then,said the other, handing him some--"will that satisfy you?" |
34149 | Hoo do ye mak oot that? |
34149 | How came you to hear her music? |
34149 | How many men shall I take, my lord? |
34149 | How? |
34149 | I am that Innes Cameron,said the fur- gatherer;"and so my poor old uncle is dead?" |
34149 | If ye please, sir,said Adam,"will ye be so good as inform me where the gentleman lives that wants the book- keeper?" |
34149 | If ye wanted to save Mike, why did ye tell a lee, and say that he was ane o''the robbers, yoursel bein the ither? |
34149 | Is it not horrible, sir,he vociferated,"that a woman should attempt to take the life of her husband? |
34149 | Is it possible? 34149 Is not that a dreadful sight, sir?" |
34149 | Is she dead? |
34149 | Is there onybody wi''ye forbye yersel? |
34149 | Is this the arm that Mike Maxwell broke at the wrestlin match last year? |
34149 | Is this the last and strongest proof o''your affection? 34149 Is your name Mike Maxwell?" |
34149 | Is your name William Wotherspoon? |
34149 | Is''t no aneugh to hear the minister on the Sabbath, but I maun be plagued wi''a wife playin hum in my lug a''the day lang? |
34149 | It is,said Mike;"and wha in thae parts doesna ken me, either by grip or sicht?" |
34149 | May I be bold enough, sir, to ask whom I have the honour of pledging? |
34149 | Merciful powers, what is to become of one of my profession, if he can not sit without a crash? 34149 Mercy on us, Archy,"said the wife,"what ails ye? |
34149 | Mr Daniells-- Mr Daniells? |
34149 | Mr Threshum,cried Baldwin, as the writer was going out,"what do you want?" |
34149 | My son, what has come over you? |
34149 | Now, darlint,said she, observing Adam fatigued,"here is a room fit for a prince; and sure you wo n''t be thinking half- a- crown too much for it?" |
34149 | Oh, nonsense, Wildman!--how can you talk so foolishly? 34149 P.S.--Is cousin Jeanie still unmarried? |
34149 | Poor fellow,said Roderick, patting him on the head,"what has brought you here? |
34149 | Pray, what was the cause of your making such an extraordinary exertion on that particular occasion? |
34149 | Ready abaft? |
34149 | Saw ye ever sic a stubborn fule? |
34149 | Served him right,mutually exclaimed the serjeant and the private;"but what can you expect from a Mac?" |
34149 | Sir,said Adam,"are ye no Mr Robertson o''54 Thames Street?" |
34149 | So Mike committed nothing to your charge? |
34149 | Then,said the captain,"all the evidence against Maxwell is the ring?" |
34149 | Wad the man wha took the portmanteau frae Captain Beachum hae admitted to Alice Parker that he was the robber? 34149 Was not Roderick your father''s name?" |
34149 | Weel, Reuben,asked Priscilla, in her own calm and gentle way,"is the damage great?" |
34149 | Well, well!--what say ye? |
34149 | Wha can that be, in Gude''s name? |
34149 | Wha dares say that? |
34149 | Wha''s that? |
34149 | What about the mill? |
34149 | What can that mean? 34149 What did he say just now, before he left you? |
34149 | What friend? |
34149 | What is it, sir, that you wish with me? |
34149 | What is it, sir? |
34149 | What is it? |
34149 | What is the young lady''s name? |
34149 | What is your name? |
34149 | What like is she? |
34149 | What mean you? |
34149 | What mean you? |
34149 | What say ye to Giles Baldwin''s? |
34149 | What scent? |
34149 | What wind? |
34149 | What''s the matter? |
34149 | What''s your business, woman? |
34149 | What, then, am I to think about? |
34149 | What,said his companion,"could have induced a steady, sensible fellow like you, Sandy, to indenture with the company? |
34149 | Where are your smashed glass organs now? |
34149 | Whereabouts are we now, captain? 34149 Who''s there?" |
34149 | Who, on all the earth, can they be? 34149 Why do n''t you ask her?" |
34149 | Why in this position? |
34149 | Why not try to sit and compose yourself? |
34149 | Why will not you, my dearest Louisa? |
34149 | Why, how many men has Bourne with him? |
34149 | Why? |
34149 | Will money drag a direct answer from you, sir? |
34149 | Will ye say that, Alice? |
34149 | Will you hide yourself then? |
34149 | Will you not allow me a glass of wine, doctor? |
34149 | Yes,answered the individual addressed;"what''s wanted?" |
34149 | You have been weeping, Miss Milford,I said;"is it for your aunt?" |
34149 | You must have heard that this tower once belonged to another? |
34149 | _ Victoria._DEAREST AND BELOVED, BUT MUCH- INJURED JEAN,--Dare I hope you ever think of me? |
34149 | ''Wha''s there?'' |
34149 | A hoarse, but evidently female, voice exclaimed--"Wha''s that, to disturb an honest woman at this time o''nicht?" |
34149 | A saft and gentle voice answered--"Can you give me a guide over the hills as far as Langholm? |
34149 | Am I richt?" |
34149 | Am I right, Emily?" |
34149 | And now, may I no expect your story in turn?" |
34149 | And whar was''t, do ye think, he had been sittin the lee- lang nicht? |
34149 | Any interlopers across the March?" |
34149 | Are my fears realised, and in this dreadful form? |
34149 | Are we not very near the English coast?" |
34149 | Are ye vexed that ye hae come back to yer auld mither and Jeanie?" |
34149 | Are you in the army, Mr. Campbell? |
34149 | Are you satisfied?" |
34149 | Asked, if he meant that he never was employed by him, or merely that such a circumstance did not consist with his knowledge? |
34149 | At last recollecting herself, she exclaimed,"Edward has told me all-- where is_ he_--where is the gallant man who saved your life?" |
34149 | Bless her ould heart, she''s a famous doctor? |
34149 | But gudesake, Innes, what''s that?" |
34149 | But how think you, good reader, was Geordie employed when he expressed this laudable resolution of abandoning his evil ways? |
34149 | But men to gang and offer to sell their sauls to the evil one? |
34149 | But what cam o''your puir simple lassie, Innes, when her father broke?" |
34149 | But what is this?" |
34149 | But why the plague should I sigh about it? |
34149 | Can you not indulge me with a change of dress?" |
34149 | Could it come frae a mair likely hand than that on whase finger the owner''s diamond ring was, or micht hae been? |
34149 | Couldna ye hae come to me, and gien me six and eightpence for an advice? |
34149 | Devil takes care of his own, eh?" |
34149 | Did I no ken ye were born to be a gentleman? |
34149 | Did he say anything?" |
34149 | Did the voice o''the man no strike ye as a kent ane?" |
34149 | Do I not make my bread sitting? |
34149 | Do n''t understand me? |
34149 | Do ye ken aught o''her now?" |
34149 | Do ye not think so, dear?" |
34149 | Do ye think folk get their guids for naething? |
34149 | Do you know he is in my power? |
34149 | Do you no see ony signs o''him yet? |
34149 | Do you see no appearance o''him yet? |
34149 | Do you think there can be any chance of our yet reaching the log- house?" |
34149 | Does she reside still near you? |
34149 | From the outline between me and the sky, so appalling was the vision, that I clapped my musket to my shoulder, and called,"Who goes there?" |
34149 | Give me your hand, my boy-- who''d have thought it? |
34149 | Had they nae bowels ava?" |
34149 | Hae I no kent folk that werena canny mysel? |
34149 | Hae we no a commandment against witchcraft, and a pattern o''what they were in the Witch o''Endor? |
34149 | Has he ever made any remark to you regarding that trial?" |
34149 | Have I your consent?" |
34149 | Have you repented of this cruel act?" |
34149 | He can come no speed; and see you how his apprentices are biting their lips, and holding down their heads to conceal their merriment?" |
34149 | He seemed struggling to speak; and at length, in a tone of earnest fondness-- and he shook as he spoke-- he said,"Will you not forget me, Mary?" |
34149 | He started up:--"Avaunt, base mockery; am I to be daunted with a mere figment of the brain? |
34149 | How cam ye by that?" |
34149 | How did ye leave the leddy, puir thing?" |
34149 | How did you escape? |
34149 | How is it possible I could have stood the shock? |
34149 | How much, Mike Maxwell, does a prisoner within these walls either require or get? |
34149 | How muckle o''yer national dish did ye eat durin that time?" |
34149 | I am but a rude man amang rude men like mysel; but you, Innes, what could hae brought you here? |
34149 | I can scarcely ask a tailor if he remembers the little bit in''Thalaba,''where the cave of the Lapland sorceress is described? |
34149 | I heard him mutter,"is it so? |
34149 | I hope the gale is not going to last much longer?" |
34149 | I wonder if she likes_ me_?" |
34149 | If she said naething, wha wad be presumed to be the depositor o''the portmanteau in the hands o''Alice Parker, the weel- kenned lover o''Mike Maxwell? |
34149 | Is it no hard that tailors should lose the reputation o''manhood through a stupid misconception o''the sense o''an auld- warld author? |
34149 | It is easy enough to circulate such a report; but what does Solomon Slow say to all this, and his worthy partner, Simon Sure?" |
34149 | It is not you, Mike?" |
34149 | It''s certainly possible I may have given him the ring by mistake; but how do you account for the portmanteau being in his lover''s house?" |
34149 | Know you him? |
34149 | Mair, man: wha sent the officers to Alice''s house? |
34149 | Mercy on me, whar wad be a''my glory at_ proofs_ if folk were to speak the truth? |
34149 | Not a wrecker, I hope? |
34149 | O Jeanie, how could I forget it? |
34149 | Oh, if the recollection of it be so appalling, what must have been the reality? |
34149 | Oh, man, did ye steal frae the poor folk in that gate?" |
34149 | Pray, young man, what did you give this Mr Daniells to recommend you to the situation?" |
34149 | Sell your hair, dears, and buy lang lawn?" |
34149 | She could not discover it; but could she conceal it without danger to herself as well as to him? |
34149 | She grasped his hand, and, pressing it to her bosom,"Jamie,"said she,"my bairn, why do ye sigh on this blessed day? |
34149 | She was better than twelve years older than me-- but what of that? |
34149 | Sir Robert raised his head, and, looking at the intruder,"Well, Watt,"he said,"what''s stirring now? |
34149 | So look up, dear, and tell me at once, am I not right-- would ye not prefer Thomas to any man ye have seen for your husband?" |
34149 | Starting up in great agitation, he cried--"Mike''s life is in your hands, Alice: will you hang or save him?" |
34149 | The young doctor now turned round to me, and said, hesitatingly--"And this gentleman, Emily? |
34149 | There''s conies i''this hole; I see the marks o''their feet; and whar will ye find a better terrier than Lewie Threshum? |
34149 | Wad ye ken him if ye saw him?" |
34149 | Was he angry with her? |
34149 | Was the ane I got frae you, wi''a plait o''that raven hair in''t, a sign o''robbery?" |
34149 | Was this no kind, Innes? |
34149 | Was your remorse so great? |
34149 | Wha but Mike Maxwell himsel? |
34149 | What ails ye?" |
34149 | What avails your Scottish cunning now, and how much does it transcend English honesty? |
34149 | What crime have I committed? |
34149 | What do you charge me with?" |
34149 | What is a ghost? |
34149 | What is your love to me, if I am denied your confidence? |
34149 | What like a fellow is he, this Bourne, Watt? |
34149 | What made ye do that, man? |
34149 | What say ye, lassie? |
34149 | What say ye?" |
34149 | What therefore was she to do? |
34149 | What title can this man set up to my grandfather''s estate? |
34149 | What would you have me to do?" |
34149 | What would you take to put the gentlemen in the other carriage_ off the scent_?" |
34149 | What''s the man''s name?" |
34149 | What, oh, what shall be done, Alfred?" |
34149 | What?" |
34149 | When a body sees a ghost, is it no a warnin that his ain time''s no far aff?" |
34149 | Where got ye that?" |
34149 | Where is your scepticism now, your laughs, and your jeers, and your vain efforts to shake my belief? |
34149 | Wherefore, then, should ye grieve? |
34149 | Which is the dangerous part?" |
34149 | Why was the portmanteau no taen to yer mother''s? |
34149 | Will nothing less serve you than to see a poor harmless being, who never injured one of you, reduced to atoms? |
34149 | Will ye swear to his voice and his hand?" |
34149 | Will you join us in a glass, sir?" |
34149 | Yet may I not be asking poison? |
34149 | You long- tongued fool, what assurance have ye that the lord- warden himself does not hear every word you are saying? |
34149 | You wish Mike Maxwell well-- you visited him yesterday; would you aid in his escape?" |
34149 | and what can they be wanting?" |
34149 | and yet, sir, I put it to you-- I put it to you who know the strength of a window pane-- how can I sit? |
34149 | cried I, as I saw the letter shake in his hand,"is my bairn dead?" |
34149 | cries a person from the window;"met you a carriage on your way, driving quickly, and with closed blinds, towards Berwick?" |
34149 | exclaimed Sandy--"what came o''a''the grand freends that used to gie ye the teas and suppers? |
34149 | exclaimed she, as she placed his breakfast before him,"is this the last meal that my bairn''s to eat in my house?" |
34149 | have me there-- eh, Wentworth? |
34149 | he cried,"will you dash me to pieces? |
34149 | he exclaimed, convulsively,"can_ you_ forgive me--_you_--_you_? |
34149 | he exclaimed,"why are ye no dancin?--why are ye no dancin? |
34149 | how can I ever adequately prove my gratitude to you?" |
34149 | how can I ever earn a livelihood for that weeping wife? |
34149 | how d''ye do?" |
34149 | or does it agree wi''my promise, made on the condition that you wad renounce Giles Baldwin, wha, I fear, is at the bottom o''a''this affair? |
34149 | said I, almost crying with laughter;"do n''t you know Wentworth?" |
34149 | said Mr Wotherspoon, becoming as pale as death, and trembling violently as he spoke,"What for? |
34149 | said Nelly, looking wonderingly and anxiously in his face,"what ails the callant? |
34149 | said he,"or what is your object in thus disturbing peaceable travellers by legal turnpikes?" |
34149 | said he;"eh!--what''s yon?" |
34149 | said she;"and with what object does he call here?" |
34149 | said the officer of the deck to me one night,"what is the matter with you? |
34149 | what is the matter, love?" |
34149 | why did you not remain where you were? |
34149 | why were you fated to make me adore you for acting against those wishes I now breathe in your ear? |
34149 | ye''re as bad as him,"was the reply of his father;"wherefore would ye encourage the callant in his havers? |
39759 | ''And what way micht that be, sir?'' 39759 ''Forgie me, Kirsty,''said I,''what in a''the world do ye mean? |
39759 | ''Lassie,''said I, when I got hame;''do ye ken hoo to mak tea?'' 39759 ''What do ye mean about destroying the machine, faither?'' |
39759 | ''Where is yer mother?'' 39759 Ah, Mr Lumsden,"he exclaimed,"how do you do? |
39759 | An''could ye do any guid, think ye, if that debt wur paid, or in some way arranged? |
39759 | An''what hae I to do wi''a''that? |
39759 | An''what''s Hamilton sayin to that? |
39759 | And at what hour, Sir Minstrel,asked the knight,"does the combat come on?" |
39759 | And did_ ye_,he inquired, fumbling with, a pocket book;"did_ ye_ watch owre her? |
39759 | And hoo was it? |
39759 | And how, good minstrel,said Bertha, in a voice tremulous from anxiety,"how is it thought the combat will go?" |
39759 | And is it sooth that his prophecies never fail, and that he now lives in Elf- land? |
39759 | And may I not crave your name? |
39759 | And so your place of residence is quite at hand? |
39759 | And whase grave-- whase grave did ye bring me to look at? |
39759 | And what are your duties as parish- clerk? |
39759 | And what,asked the Governor,"could have brought a false pirate there?" |
39759 | And who is Thomas of Chartres? |
39759 | Are they so, Mr Reid? |
39759 | Are ye no pleased wi''my assistance? |
39759 | Are you on that tack, my messmate? 39759 Ay, ay, are you in that plight too, Saunders?" |
39759 | Ay,said the man, crustily,"what''s the meanin''o''that? |
39759 | But could ye no get a settlement wi''them, an''go on? |
39759 | But could you no help him a wee on the score o''lenity? |
39759 | But how comes it that you are as democratic as any one in the neighbourhood when politics is the subject of discourse? 39759 But is''t true?" |
39759 | But whar''s the young man to be fand? |
39759 | But who art thou, terrible warrior, that o''ermasterest De Longoville of France as if he were a stripling of twelve summers? 39759 But why is she lodging with you, Jonathan? |
39759 | But, sir,inquired the old man, tremulously,"do you know where to find him?" |
39759 | Did I ask ye onything aboot my age? 39759 Did she not tell you?" |
39759 | Did she really,added he;"did she mention me?--and often spoke about me-- often? |
39759 | Did the rascal harry ye oot an''oot? |
39759 | Did you ever know him do a thing of this kind before? |
39759 | Did you not notice anything peculiar about my daughter? |
39759 | Does not the truce extend over the channel, think you? |
39759 | Fond o''fishing? |
39759 | Has my unfortunate cloak escaped stain? |
39759 | Has ony o''ye heard,here interposed another of the party,"o''that cruel case o''Hamilton''s o''Bothwellhaugh? |
39759 | Has your lot been ill cast, young man, that ye envy the bits o''burds o''the air the freedom and the liberty that God has gien them? |
39759 | Have you a good store of fire- arms, friend? |
39759 | Hoo auld is she noo? |
39759 | I daresay not; but will you not take it amiss my offering this small addition to them? |
39759 | I didna say that I meant to assist him-- I only asked ye, what if I took a fancy to do''t? |
39759 | I have seen no reason for the apprehension; but her scream, was it not bodily pain? |
39759 | I hope, however, I have not offended you by the offer? 39759 I''ll maybe explain that afterwards; but, in the meantime, will ye tell me what sort o''a lad this Mr Reid is? |
39759 | Is it indeed sae, Lewie? |
39759 | It was for this purpose, then, that you have been called to see me? |
39759 | Jonathan? |
39759 | Let me see-- oh, ay-- you will mean, I dare say, a young man of the name of John Reid, poor fellow? |
39759 | Loithaire is known far and wide, as a striker in the lists; but who has not also heard of De Longoville, and his wars with the fierce Saracen? 39759 Look there, guidman,"said Esther,"isna that proof positive of the way in which your braw hirsel is disposed of? |
39759 | Maybe I am wrang, Lewie,said Effie;"but what was I to think but that the twa ither sweethearts ye mentioned were acknowledged by ye? |
39759 | Naething, then,''ll do but payin''the siller, I suppose? |
39759 | Nor seen ony o''the Blackett family? |
39759 | Not jealous of the Governor, Clelland, I hope? |
39759 | Pretty fair, sir; pretty fair,replied the armourer"What description may you want?" |
39759 | See you, sir,replied the other;"see you yonder projecting corner, beyond the palace entrance?" |
39759 | She pulled away my hand from her waist, and looking me in the face, said--''Weel, Willie, man, what is''t?'' 39759 Sir?" |
39759 | That interesting and very beautiful young lady whom I saw at your house is your daughter, sir, I presume? |
39759 | The dominie?--the dominie? |
39759 | The hostel swarms with company,said Clelland, addressing him--"pray, good minstrel, canst tell me the occasion? |
39759 | The name? |
39759 | Then hoo cam he into his present difficulties? |
39759 | Then hoo come ye to be sportin yer siller sae freely? 39759 Then, after sic lang service, ye''ll just be like ane o''the family?" |
39759 | To be sure I mean her,said Willie--"wha else could I mean?" |
39759 | Was the object she thus supposes present to her, ever exposed in reality to the true waking sense? |
39759 | Was ye doited, auld man, that ye didna tell me that before? |
39759 | Wha dead, ye stupid auld body!--did I no say_ his wife_, as plain as I could speak? |
39759 | Wha put te auld tominie? |
39759 | Wha was yon stranger? |
39759 | Wha''s the man o''business in Edinburgh that thae Sheffield folk hae employed to prosecute ye? 39759 What else have I come here for?" |
39759 | What hae I to do wi''a''that, I wad like to ken? 39759 What if I hae taen a fancy to help him mysel?" |
39759 | What is such a trifle between you and me, Mr Lumsden-- you to whom I owe everything? |
39759 | What is that, yer Honour? |
39759 | What is to befall us now, cousin Clelland? |
39759 | What makes you think so? |
39759 | What means the idiot? |
39759 | What meant ye, then, Lewie, by sayin ye had twa sweethearts besides Effie Mearns? |
39759 | What motive on earth can you have for assisting him? |
39759 | What news stirring, friend? |
39759 | What say ye to yer ain Effie, then? |
39759 | What''s their arrears, again? |
39759 | Where is this man Wilson''s shop? |
39759 | Who dead? |
39759 | Who? |
39759 | Whom else could I mean? |
39759 | Why all this ado, Brichan? |
39759 | Why defenceless, lady? 39759 Why is it, Jonathan,"continued Henry,"that there is no stone to mark my mother''s grave? |
39759 | Why no fighting, Monsieur? |
39759 | Will he, indeed, Mr Bletherwell? 39759 Will we proceed with the prisoner?" |
39759 | Will you have the goodness to step into the house, sir, for a few moments, and I will then be at your service? |
39759 | Ye dumfounder me, auld man,exclaimed Willie;"but where, in the name o''guidness, where''s the wife?--where''s Mrs Blackett?" |
39759 | Ye''ll be to found an hospital? |
39759 | Ye''r aye harpin on that string,replied the stone- breaker, surlily;"but what signifies their honesty to me, if they''ll no pay me my rent?" |
39759 | Yet your earnings must be scanty? |
39759 | _ Whose_ wife? |
39759 | ''Get Murdoch to knock together the boards-- we will bury him to- morrow; but the wife, man, what is to be done with her?'' |
39759 | A little time will do''t: will ye no wait?" |
39759 | After a short time, he again spoke--"What may the nature an''cause o''yer defeeculties be, young man, an''I may speer?" |
39759 | After a'', I believe yer richt, Saunders-- an hospital has nae gratitude; and what have we to do wi''a cauld and heartless warld?" |
39759 | All the passengers? |
39759 | Am I to be ca''ed on to relieve a''the distress in the world? |
39759 | Am I to be robbed o''my richts that others may be at ease? |
39759 | An will he no gie ye ony indulgence?" |
39759 | And hae I really a''this time mistaen sweetness for love, and familiarity for affection? |
39759 | And what ca''ye that but oppressing and robbing the poor? |
39759 | And what think ye she said to me? |
39759 | And why not now accept of Clelland''s? |
39759 | And will ye tell me, sir, hoo it is possible to worship yer Creator by scraping catgut, or blawing wind through a hollow stick?" |
39759 | And, besides, have you not heard that the combat comes on to- morrow?" |
39759 | And, besides, how could two unprotected females travel through such a country as this? |
39759 | And, knowing this, is it possible that the best of men will heap sorrow upon sorrow on the head of a friendless and afflicted woman?" |
39759 | Are ye mad?'' |
39759 | At length--"Mr Langridge,"he said,"what is the meaning of this? |
39759 | Besides, wha thanks the founder o''an hospital for his charity? |
39759 | But I hope that young Mr Henry had nae hand in it?" |
39759 | But can we no get haud o''the lad ony way?" |
39759 | But how is it that I meet, in the infamous Thomas of Chartres, that true soldier of the Cross, De Longoville? |
39759 | But perhaps your honour would wish to see her grave?" |
39759 | But what are ye to do wi''fc, Saivjders?" |
39759 | But what have we beyond it? |
39759 | But where was he to find a refuge, after the cave had been vacated? |
39759 | But will you be so good as inform me, if you can, how the good man has come to do me so friendly a service? |
39759 | But, if I''m no detaining ye, ma''am, may I just ask her name?" |
39759 | Can you tell me aught regarding him?" |
39759 | Could we be freed from the ruffians that tyrannize over us in any way but this? |
39759 | Did ye ever hear the like o''t?" |
39759 | Did you know Mr Henry, your honour?" |
39759 | Did you really say_ criminal_? |
39759 | Do ye mind since ye used to call me_ Thomas_?" |
39759 | Do ye really say that it was only familiarity, Helen?" |
39759 | Do ye think I could be o''ony service to ye? |
39759 | Do you think your Helen is the same that I hae come to seek?" |
39759 | Does her hair fa''in gowden ringlets, like the clouds that curl round the brows o''the setting sun? |
39759 | Does your father still live?" |
39759 | Effie, woman, my bonny bairn, hae ye nae love in yer heart, but for Lewie Campbell? |
39759 | Had you some conversation, at an early hour this morning, with an old stone- breaker, on the highway side, about three or four miles from town?" |
39759 | Hae thae folk Thamsons, paid yet?" |
39759 | Has Helen forgot me a''thegither?" |
39759 | Has he risen yet?" |
39759 | Has she no monument but the tears of her only surviving child?" |
39759 | Has there been onybody buried here lately?" |
39759 | Hoo is it possible that ye can talk aboot me as likely to be either an oppressor or a robber o''the poor? |
39759 | Hoo mony articles o''_ tea_ and_ cream_ hae ye there? |
39759 | Hoo mony starving families are there, that threepence a- day would mak happy? |
39759 | How are we to live withoot meat, now that Burnbank, guid man, has deserted us?" |
39759 | How came you, Mr Lumsden,"he added, smilingly,"to be so well informed of them?" |
39759 | How do I come to be liberated?" |
39759 | How do the men feel disposed, Kreutz-- all braced and steady?'' |
39759 | I exclaimed,''what are ye after? |
39759 | I gasped,''or what is it that ye are saying, hinny? |
39759 | I have learned that my father is abroad, and is it that he is soon expected home?" |
39759 | I wad hae thocht ye wad hae as muckle need o''a half- croon as I hae?" |
39759 | I wanted merely your advice, what I should do in certain circumstances, an''ye gie me a comparison for an answer.--Do ye think I should marry?" |
39759 | If it is sae sair to lose a friend, what, Lewie-- what wad it be to lose a lover?" |
39759 | If the Enemy o''mankind hadna it in his power to do for us what we tak to be for oor guid, hoo in the warld do ye think he could tempt us to our hurt? |
39759 | Is he a decent, weel- doin''young man?" |
39759 | Is her countenance beautiful as the light o''laughing day, when it chases sickness and darkness together from the chamber o''the invalid? |
39759 | Is her form delicate as the willow, but stately as the young pine? |
39759 | Is her neck whiter than the drifted snaw? |
39759 | Is it not so, master? |
39759 | Is it one of the mermaidens you were telling me of yesterday?" |
39759 | Is there a fair holds to- morrow?" |
39759 | Is there no man that will undertake to sink the body? |
39759 | Losh me, man, have ye nae mair sense?--have ye nae discretion whatever? |
39759 | May I ask how it comes about?" |
39759 | Might one find in Scotland, Sir Knight, some such quiet tower as this, where two defenceless women may bide the issue of the contest?" |
39759 | Mr Langridge,"he added, and now rising from his seat,"wad ye speak wi''me for a minnit, in another room?" |
39759 | Need we add it was the gallant Clelland who stood in this relation to him? |
39759 | O why will you leave your aged mother to go mourning to her grave?'' |
39759 | Oh, my puir heart, wha or what will support ye when grief for my parents turns me against ye? |
39759 | On recovering himself, he exclaimed----"Whar is she, Betty? |
39759 | Poor soul, she looked as if her heart was breaking, but spoke not; at length, the husband said--"''O woman, have you no feeling for your daughter?'' |
39759 | That''ll mak-- hoo much?" |
39759 | The latter, on seeing the captain, bowed politely, and said--"Captain Clydesdale, I presume, sir?" |
39759 | The parritch kettle will do as weel as a tea- kettle-- where can be the difference? |
39759 | The world''s wide, an''haulds black an''fair, weak an''strong, heigh and laigh; an''wharfore no also hearts an''minds as different as their bodies? |
39759 | Then, after a pause--"An''think ye the lad wad get on if this stane were taen frae aboot his neck?" |
39759 | There are fifty- twa weeks in the year-- that is fifty- twa shillings; and fifty- twa sixpences is-- how much?'' |
39759 | Was I deceived by a fancy? |
39759 | Well, what would you think if_ he_ should have been the friend in question? |
39759 | Whan is''t to be, Betty? |
39759 | What are the circumstances, if I may inquire?" |
39759 | What are we to do? |
39759 | What ca''ye him?" |
39759 | What combat?" |
39759 | What could be done with sixteen ships when fifty were upon them?" |
39759 | What could we do? |
39759 | What is this to end in? |
39759 | What right or what authority had ye to be there?'' |
39759 | What was to be done? |
39759 | When all men make the law, who is to obey? |
39759 | When their controversy had ended, Willie inquired--"Do ye ken a family o''the name o''Blackett, that lives aboot this neeborhood?" |
39759 | Who on earth, or what is he?" |
39759 | Why do n''t you speak, old fire and brimstone? |
39759 | Why dwell longer on the story of Thomas de Longoville? |
39759 | Why hae ye brought the like o''this upon us? |
39759 | Why is there nothing to her memory?" |
39759 | Will no one save me from the glare of the grim avenger? |
39759 | Will not you and the lady your mother also accompany us?" |
39759 | Will ye really rush upon ruin at a horse- race? |
39759 | Will ye see to that, then, Mr Langridge? |
39759 | Will you listen to my story?" |
39759 | Without noticing the inquiry of his landlord--"Be there any armourers in this town of yours, friend?" |
39759 | Would you expect from his manner, that he_ would_ do such a thing? |
39759 | You do not say that he is?" |
39759 | and-- where is James Patrick?'' |
39759 | cried Willie;"was it a fair strae death-- or just grief, puir thing-- just grief?" |
39759 | did I expect this? |
39759 | do you mean to say that they would not stand by their guns while there was a chance? |
39759 | exclaimed Helen, springing towards the door--"where-- oh, where?". |
39759 | exclaimed Willie, vehemently,"what do you mean by, if you durst say all you think? |
39759 | exclaimed Willie,"what sort o''a dream is this? |
39759 | exclaimed he,"and she''s no been at the Priory, then?" |
39759 | have I come frae Dumfries- shire to see a sicht like this?" |
39759 | he added;"cold, cruel grave; and is memory all that is left me of such a parent? |
39759 | he cried, rushing towards the door--"wherefore did ye leave me?--why hae ye forsaken me? |
39759 | he exclaimed,''what is this? |
39759 | if I may again hope!--and why for no? |
39759 | if young folk like us were to begin wi''sic extravagance, where would be the upshot? |
39759 | inquired Janet and David, almost at the same instant--''who do ye say destroyed it?'' |
39759 | interrupted Henry,"am I to understand that you believed this to be the grave of my beloved Helen?--or, how could you suppose it? |
39759 | interrupted he, earnestly,"know ye if there be a young leddy frae Scotland stopping there at present-- for I have heard that there is? |
39759 | lassie,''cried I,''do ye intend to ruin me? |
39759 | or, from his appearance and occupation, that he could?" |
39759 | returned Willie--"do you mean Mr Blackett''s mother?" |
39759 | said I,''hoo is it possible that a woman o''your excellent sense can talk such nonsense? |
39759 | said Norton, eagerly, and checking himself, continued--"that is-- in the church you mean, you raise the tunes?" |
39759 | said Willie, in surprise--"what''s that? |
39759 | said my new- made wife, wi''a look o''astonishment;''is the lassie talking aboot_ tea_? |
39759 | said she;"I have not, I will not, I can not forget you; and wherefore would you forget that I can only remember you as a friend?" |
39759 | shall Hans Kreutz die like one muzzled dog? |
39759 | she cried,''what do ye talk aboot?'' |
39759 | that I can now call mother? |
39759 | what like is_ your_ Helen? |
39759 | what means this tumult--''sdeath?'' |
39759 | what use have I for you now? |
11334 | ''Man,''says I to the flesher the next time I saw him,''wha was yon Miss Murray?'' 11334 And can it be that I am deceived, and that secret powers are working my ruin?" |
11334 | And how could that be? 11334 And how did you come to know of the compact between the brothers?" |
11334 | And how was the colonel to be applied to, after his conscience was wrought up to pay? |
11334 | And shall we not? |
11334 | And the bonnet? |
11334 | And what he''ll say, my letty? |
11334 | And what is to become of Walter Grierson? |
11334 | And what more? |
11334 | And what was the name of the card? |
11334 | And whaur fae, laddie? |
11334 | And who is Ruggieri? |
11334 | And who ordered that beautiful thing? |
11334 | And why this suppression and secrecy, Walter? |
11334 | And yet have shot himself as a ruined gambler? |
11334 | And you gave it on demand? 11334 And you will be willing to go to the Moated Grange, and, if necessary, swear to those things?" |
11334 | Answer me this,said I:"Did no one know the duplicate card you used in the cheat?" |
11334 | Anything new in the town to- day? |
11334 | Are you ever? |
11334 | Are you from Glasgow, young un? |
11334 | Are you mad, Dewhurst? 11334 Are you mad?" |
11334 | Are you mad? |
11334 | Ay, ay, I dare say; but have_ you_ anything new to tell us? |
11334 | Be calm,said I, taking him by the shoulders;"what new discovery is this? |
11334 | But anent yoursel, my man,continued Lawson,"what can I do for ye? |
11334 | But how did Ruggieri come to know about the ten of diamonds? |
11334 | But if all these things are so,said Rachel,"what do you say of happiness? |
11334 | But what are you to do with it? |
11334 | But what is this mingling of threads to the great web of the universe, which is eternally being woven and unwoven, unaffected by the will of man? 11334 But what_ is_ it that you mean, Jeannie?" |
11334 | But would it not bring me down,said she,"were he to think that he was forced by a promise?" |
11334 | But you have taken that name on an occasion? |
11334 | But, stay-- what like was she? |
11334 | Can all this be true? |
11334 | Can you tell me nothing more of what she was like?--not she who was here this evening? |
11334 | Can you tell me nothing more? |
11334 | Did the villain Ruggieri tell you? |
11334 | Did you ever see me there? |
11334 | Did you not know I was dead? |
11334 | Do n''t you know me? |
11334 | For what? |
11334 | Have I not often preached to you, Rachel,said he, as he lay back on his chair,"that all these things were fixed ere Sirius was born? |
11334 | Have you ever seen them before? |
11334 | Have you got mad, Graeme? |
11334 | He had a gun? |
11334 | He is there,said she;"but what want ye him for?" |
11334 | How are you to- day, James? |
11334 | How can you live here, Graeme? |
11334 | How could I be deceived? |
11334 | How did Rogers or Ruggieri find you out? |
11334 | How did you find me out? |
11334 | How do you like your quarters, my man? 11334 How to be decided?" |
11334 | How was she dressed? |
11334 | I am resolved,said Graeme at length----"On what?" |
11334 | I can swear; and if I could n''t, do you think I would have bet so high, as in the event of losing I should be ruined? |
11334 | If,concluded Cromwell,"fidelity to a master is to be punished as a crime, where shall we look for honest servants?" |
11334 | In the first place, then, you are married; in the next, how on earth, if I may ask, should she know anything of Digby? |
11334 | Is it possible? |
11334 | It will not swim five minutes,"What do you bet? |
11334 | May I see her? |
11334 | No? 11334 Of what?" |
11334 | Oh dear, dear bairn, where learnt ye a''that witchery? |
11334 | Ruggieri,said I,"do you know that scar?" |
11334 | So the events crop out from the long chain of causes,thought Paul;"but who shall tell the final issue? |
11334 | Still at work, Paul,said Rachel, as she entered;"how long do you intend to work to- night?" |
11334 | Surely you do not mean to doubt whether_ he_ would consent? |
11334 | Surely you do not mean to say that? |
11334 | The child is--"Is what?" |
11334 | The mother of the boy, or not? |
11334 | The others? |
11334 | The very words; and were they not enough for proof and belief? |
11334 | Then do you know that Ruggieri is dead in Italy? 11334 Then where is it, girl?" |
11334 | Then why did n''t they produce it to you? |
11334 | Then, what would ye with me, fair lady? 11334 Think you you can manage them, John?" |
11334 | Though she knows not, and may never know, anything of this affair which has taken such a hold of you? |
11334 | Unwilling? |
11334 | Was Mr. Henderson sober, Miss S----th? |
11334 | Was he drunk? |
11334 | Was it trimmed with fur? |
11334 | Was there any but one man engaged in the affair? |
11334 | Were they like diamonds? |
11334 | What did Trott, the crazy girl who spaes fortunes, give you, Edith? |
11334 | What does the girl mean? 11334 What has brought you here, Margaret, at this hour?" |
11334 | What has the figure of a diamond, or of ten diamonds----"_ Ten_, you would say? |
11334 | What have all these strange thoughts to do with this situation in which I am placed? 11334 What is it?" |
11334 | What is to be done? |
11334 | What luck? |
11334 | What mean you, father? |
11334 | What mean you, sir? |
11334 | What others? |
11334 | What say you to Cartouche? |
11334 | What the devil do you mean? |
11334 | What was I afraid of? |
11334 | What would she say,he thought,"if she heard me declare I had robbed my uncle?" |
11334 | What would''st thou with me? |
11334 | What''but''can be here? |
11334 | What''s this for? |
11334 | Whaur''s the lions, and the teegers, and the elephants, and the boy instructor, and the black man? |
11334 | When did he die? |
11334 | Where do you carry your money? |
11334 | Where had you the five pounds? |
11334 | Where is Charles? |
11334 | Where is the man? |
11334 | Where is the money, sir? |
11334 | Where is your box, you naughty uncle? 11334 Where the devil has he got all this?" |
11334 | Where? |
11334 | Which of them? |
11334 | Who ever heard of a bodily feeling except as something coming through the body? 11334 Why then did n''t they return the money?" |
11334 | Why, no; do n''t you think I know her kind? 11334 Will you accept the £15?" |
11334 | Will you be staunch and firm in detailing all you know of the scheme? |
11334 | Will you keep in your remembrance,he continued,"the words uttered by Edith, and how she came by them? |
11334 | Will you leave me in this condition? |
11334 | Will you see that with your eyes shut? |
11334 | Would you know it? |
11334 | Would you know the man? |
11334 | Yes, what is to be done? 11334 You do see it, then?" |
11334 | You hear that? |
11334 | You see that lady there? |
11334 | You was n''t in liquor? |
11334 | You were present and Ruggieri, no others; did you know it? |
11334 | Your name, sir, is Lancaster, I think? |
11334 | ''Oh, what shall I do?'' |
11334 | ''Tis all selfishness, pure unadulterated selfishness; and will you tell me that a man without a particle of honesty or generosity can have courage?" |
11334 | ''What business?'' |
11334 | ''What is''t, bairns?'' |
11334 | Aboon a'', are ye sure that ye esteem and respect ane anither? |
11334 | After we had drunk a second glass each--"Well, my lad,"said my new acquaintance,"what do you propose doing? |
11334 | And how do they die if they are Christians, as all men ought to be? |
11334 | And then do n''t we know that it is by extraneous things we are mostly led? |
11334 | And why not? |
11334 | And would he do it? |
11334 | Are not children joyful when the house rings with their mirth? |
11334 | Are not the birds happy, when in the morning the woods resound with their song, and so, too, every animal after its kind? |
11334 | Are ye sure that ye are perfectly acquainted wi''each other''s characters and tempers? |
11334 | As a faither, what could I do? |
11334 | Ay, although at the risk of his life?" |
11334 | But how on earth are we to get him out? |
11334 | But how or in what way was I to reward the friendly person to whom I was wholly indebted for the recovery of my pocket- book? |
11334 | But then, was she not an eccentric thing, driven hither and thither by vagrant impulses, and with thoughts in her head which nobody could understand? |
11334 | But what ails ye, dear Charlie?" |
11334 | But who came to visit? |
11334 | But, even admitting there was cruelty in the act, where is the link that binds it with the consequences which have brought me here? |
11334 | Could I have a moment''s private speech of the captain?" |
11334 | Could she, Rachel herself, so rule her feelings as to cease loving the man she still suspected of falsehood and treachery? |
11334 | D''ye catch me, my small Stagyrite, my petit Peripatetic, my comical Academician, eh? |
11334 | Dewhurst?" |
11334 | Did n''t he run off, after stabbing the governor''s son? |
11334 | Did she want to see me?" |
11334 | Did you ever hear one single example of Rob attacking when in good daylight, and fighting for them in the sun?" |
11334 | Did you ever think of that, eh? |
11334 | Do I not know God''s signs when I see them fresh from his very finger? |
11334 | Do n''t we break the necks of innocent, yea, gentle fowls, not depredators like gulls, every day for our dinners? |
11334 | Do you intend returning to the plough- tail, eh? |
11334 | Does n''t my mother like her eyes opened in the morning? |
11334 | Does the reader imagine that that gentleman was in any way discomposed at this recognition on my part, or at the way in which it was signified? |
11334 | Has your last triumph blinded you? |
11334 | Have you any reason for your strange statement?" |
11334 | Having repeated the description of convict life which he had just given me--"Now, Knuckler, is n''t that the truth?" |
11334 | Henderson?" |
11334 | Here, Betha,"he cried to the woman, who at the instant again called Rogers,"what did you see on the back of the boy?" |
11334 | How came the constables to be so opportunely in the way when I left the house? |
11334 | How do you like this sort of life, eh?" |
11334 | How will ye like that, eh?" |
11334 | How would he receive her first look of sympathy? |
11334 | I might have said,"What mystery?" |
11334 | I mind something about the ring, and, when the minister was done, I whispered to the best man,''It''s a''ower now?'' |
11334 | If she could not resist the resolution to love Walter, how could he resist the love he bore to another? |
11334 | Is there anything in physiology to account for this? |
11334 | Is there no joy in the world? |
11334 | It was not rifled from you?" |
11334 | Lancaster?" |
11334 | Love is not a cheat; and did ever bairn love a mither as he loved me? |
11334 | Nothing wrong with Mrs. Graeme, I hope?" |
11334 | On reading the letter, Lawson, who was a kind- hearted man, exclaimed--"Puir Jamie, puir fallow; and hoo is he standin''t oot?" |
11334 | One with whom he had formed a connection of not an honourable kind, only now interrupted by the walls of the prison? |
11334 | S----th, you know Wallace was a coward, do n''t you?" |
11334 | Shall I tell you the precise words he used?" |
11334 | So I have some interest also as well as, I suspect, some right to put the question to you, whether you ever thought of Rachel Grierson for your wife?" |
11334 | So I sat down; and at length I ventured to ask,''Is your daughter, Miss Jean, at hame, ma''am?'' |
11334 | Stay, was there any handkerchief found on him?" |
11334 | Stuart, will you assist the leddies?'' |
11334 | The chance, said I? |
11334 | The lover is fated to adjure, to praise, and to petition always in the same set form of words; yet is not the confession enough?" |
11334 | Their spirits seemed to have become elated as hers became depressed; yet why should that have been, if Walter Grierson was to be"true to his troth?" |
11334 | Then stopping before me--"How long will you torment me with your scepticism? |
11334 | Then there came the question, Could Walter Grierson so regulate his heart as to force it to love her in preference to Agnes Ainslie? |
11334 | Then what say you to Rob Roy?" |
11334 | Then, did n''t he flee at the battle of Falkirk; and was he not a robber when Scotland belonged to Longshanks? |
11334 | This she now did; and the"Who''s there?" |
11334 | Was it the loss of the money, think ye, that made the wretched coward, your husband, shoot himself? |
11334 | Was not she a woman, and was not that enough? |
11334 | Was that smile then a lee, put there by the devil, wha has gi''en him the money to deceive me again?" |
11334 | Well, what is it produced by? |
11334 | What are these signs that haunt me but instigators to redemption? |
11334 | What can the strange creature mean? |
11334 | What could he mean? |
11334 | What crazy power mocked me into the belief that all this that has befallen me was connected with the flaying of a bird? |
11334 | What has happened you? |
11334 | What have you got?" |
11334 | What is it?" |
11334 | What is there in death, think you, to subvert the known laws of physiology? |
11334 | What makes the difference?" |
11334 | What say you?" |
11334 | What war''ye bred to?" |
11334 | What would ye with one so feeble and humble as I am, who am but as a tool, a mean instrument in the hand of the artificer?" |
11334 | Whaur was you, bairn?" |
11334 | Where are you from? |
11334 | Where, in that squalid place, would he seat her, whose peculiar province was the drawing- room? |
11334 | Who is to fill the old arm- chair when I can not occupy it?" |
11334 | Who was she? |
11334 | Why might not Gourlay have been aware of the fact you think only known to yourself?" |
11334 | Why was he not dumbfoundered? |
11334 | Why, you''aven''t got mad, like some of the chicken- hearted birds in our cage?" |
11334 | Why? |
11334 | Will you go with me and see the fair maiden to whom this is addressed? |
11334 | Will you?" |
11334 | Yet again comes the thought, Was he pledged to her? |
11334 | You comprehend? |
11334 | and can I hesitate when Heaven asks obedience?" |
11334 | and have not men and women their pleasures of a thousand kinds? |
11334 | and where on earth have you been all this weary time, since you left us?" |
11334 | and, more extraordinary still, how came the silver spoon into my possession? |
11334 | continued he;"and what may that be?" |
11334 | cried the man, as his fury rose,"do you know, that while I could have got you this money, I can cut you out of it? |
11334 | eh?" |
11334 | exclaimed I,''what de ye mean? |
11334 | how came you here? |
11334 | how repay it? |
11334 | or brush shoes, or anything of that kind?" |
11334 | or did ever mither love her bairn as I hae loved him? |
11334 | said I,''if I wadna_ walk_ to be married, what in the three kingdoms wad tempt me to walk?'' |
11334 | said Jeannie, laughing;"would n''t I have been there at any rate?" |
11334 | said Lady Rae in kindly tones;"and how is my lord?" |
11334 | said S----k;"was he a coward?" |
11334 | said the doctor, fixing his big eyes on the face of Graeme;"and so near a birth?" |
11334 | said the other,''do ye no ken me?'' |
11334 | says I,''ye''re no hurt, are ye?'' |
11334 | that he felt ashamed or abashed? |
11334 | what could one make of such a_ tintamarre_? |
11334 | what defence could I make against an accusation so strongly put, and so amply supported by circumstances? |
11334 | what''ll sicknify their guns, my lort, when I''ll have cot a hold o''the craturs themsels in my hants?" |
11334 | what''s the matter?'' |
11334 | with what ecstasy look into those eyes refulgent with love? |
11334 | with what fervour kiss those lips redolent of forgiveness? |
11334 | with what words express his emotions? |
34147 | ''Ah, who indeed?'' 34147 ''And is the motto your own?'' |
34147 | ''And what am I obliged to her for that?'' 34147 ''And wherefore did ye escape, knave?'' |
34147 | ''And why not, my dear?'' 34147 ''Be composed, my dear sir,''I rejoined;''do you not know Edward Vavasour, your attached nephew?'' |
34147 | ''But where did you get the grog? 34147 ''By what right do you come here?'' |
34147 | ''Can you reef or steer, or heave the lead?'' 34147 ''Did you know the old boy? |
34147 | ''Do ye no ken him, sir?'' 34147 ''Do ye no mean to refund the money, then?'' |
34147 | ''Do you mean by gi''ein him a fair bargain, Willie?'' 34147 ''How now, fair maiden,''he began;''hast thou considered well my words?--wilt thou be my willing bride, and let young Branxholm live? |
34147 | ''In coorse; did n''t I tell you so afore?'' 34147 ''Is that all? |
34147 | ''It was; and you will keep it?'' 34147 ''It''s a''that''s for him, sir?'' |
34147 | ''Nor to gie him ither horses in exchange?'' 34147 ''Sandy,''said Mr Darsy, turning to the farmer,''what do you say to these prices? |
34147 | ''Then what the devil_ can_ you do?'' 34147 ''Then, how do you propose to fix him, Willie, as ye ca''t?'' |
34147 | ''Tibby,''said I, and I looked very desperate and determined,''what do ye mean by this conduct? 34147 ''Wadna he, feth? |
34147 | ''Wha maks a fule o''me now?'' 34147 ''What ails my Betsy?" |
34147 | ''What are ye doing, Patie?'' 34147 ''What ca''they him, sir?'' |
34147 | ''What do you ca''the secret o''him, Willie? 34147 ''What do you mean, Sandy?'' |
34147 | ''What have you been dreaming about?'' 34147 ''What horse is that, Sandy?'' |
34147 | ''What want ye, Soulis?'' 34147 ''What want ye, boy,''inquired the wizard chief,''that, ere the sun be risen, ye come to seek the lion in his den?'' |
34147 | ''What want you, William?'' 34147 ''Who is the writer of this specimen?'' |
34147 | ''Why, Telford, what makes you so distant?'' 34147 ''Why, what''s the matter?'' |
34147 | ''Why, who else should it be?'' 34147 ''Will he?'' |
34147 | ''Wine or brandy, my dear sir?'' 34147 ''You understand?'' |
34147 | A swab!--what''s a swab? |
34147 | Ah, Duncan, are you there? |
34147 | Ah, Telford, my fine fellow, how are you? |
34147 | And hoo are ye armed noo, then? |
34147 | And must I die, then? 34147 And what is more dishonourable in it, than any other calling a man may choose to live by?" |
34147 | And why not for our_ two_ youngest? |
34147 | And why should I not? |
34147 | Answer me, Flora,said her father,"have you any objection to receive your deliverer as your husband?" |
34147 | Any family? |
34147 | Are there more kinds of beggars than one? |
34147 | Are you at school? |
34147 | Ay; and what did he say, my little fellow? |
34147 | Betsy, my love, what shall we have? |
34147 | But how does he know the place? |
34147 | But will staying behind prove your innocence? 34147 But, bless your heart, sir, how am I to begin? |
34147 | Can you write pretty well? |
34147 | Count? |
34147 | Dear Agnes,he began,"can one with so kind a heart look with indifference on the wants and the sufferings of a father and a mother? |
34147 | Dear me, sir,said M''Arthur,"has the destruction of your property been so great?" |
34147 | Did you speak to your father on the subject, Duncan? |
34147 | Do n''t you know Miss M''Donald-- Flora M''Donald-- Mr M''Arthur? |
34147 | Do n''t you know me, Mr M''Arthur? |
34147 | Do ye think that wad do it? |
34147 | Do you think sae? |
34147 | Does not Betsy speak like a parson? |
34147 | Does she not do it in style? |
34147 | Has she got any food? |
34147 | He was a benevolent man, was he? |
34147 | How can she afford to maintain him? |
34147 | How, Mr M''Arthur? |
34147 | How? |
34147 | Is Mr Darsy dead? |
34147 | Is he, sir, a friend of yours? |
34147 | Is it thus that Harden comes, with bright steel and unsullied clothes, from the house of the murderer of his fairest son? |
34147 | Is my Henry dead? |
34147 | Is not He the Almighty of all time and of all eternity? |
34147 | Is not the whole bent of every one''s mind to get as much from every one of his fellow- men as he can? 34147 Is the house in good repair?" |
34147 | May not Gilmanscleugh serve both of our unprovided sons? 34147 Mortlake-- is he a relation of yours?" |
34147 | My feth, in guid hauns it''ll be that,responded one of Jamie''s friends; and added,"Are ye drillin hard?" |
34147 | Now, Mr M''Arthur,he continued, smiling as he spoke,"will you have the goodness to state your objections to accepting the hand of my daughter?" |
34147 | Oh, hearty, hearty,cries the other;"but how''s a''wi''ye?--how is yer family?" |
34147 | Oh, say,said I, smiling--''Oh, say, what sums that generous hand supply-- What mines to swell that boundless charity?''" |
34147 | Pray, sir, will you condescend to inform me by what title you presume to set your foot on my grounds? 34147 Pray, what circumstance is it, may I ask, which so solemnly binds your recollections to that particular locality?" |
34147 | Recollect ye not your words, Mary? |
34147 | Said ye not that Gilmanscleugh would serve for both our sons? 34147 Shall you lack a whole fin, or part of one, or be lame of a leg? |
34147 | Should you like to live in such a house as that? |
34147 | Sir Edward Vavasour? |
34147 | Stabbed, do you say? 34147 The house does not seem to have been tenanted for a long time, Mr Pentland?" |
34147 | Then the two Kelso men were foremost, eh? |
34147 | Then, landlord, a duck; and have you any green peas yet? |
34147 | Tom, have you firmness? 34147 Tom, sir, do you mean? |
34147 | Turning to me with one of her sweet smiles--''I am not deceived, then, in my Bill?'' |
34147 | Waiter,said he,"why this disturbance? |
34147 | Well, Kay, you always do the thing genteelly; but who is this friend of yours? |
34147 | Well, but how did you lose your arm, Tom? |
34147 | Well, my little fellow,he said,"what''s this you''re about?" |
34147 | Were you ever in the East Indies? |
34147 | What are you learning there? |
34147 | What became of that poor fellow? 34147 What can the woman mean?" |
34147 | What game shall these Rippon rowels prick us to, Mary? |
34147 | What is the matter? |
34147 | What is the upset price, sir? |
34147 | What mean ye, Wat? |
34147 | What means this? |
34147 | What murder? |
34147 | What sayest thou to the royal authority? 34147 What shall I have the pleasure of handing to Mr Kay?" |
34147 | What sort o''a job may that be? |
34147 | Where did you lose your arm, my good lad? |
34147 | Where does your father live, my boy? |
34147 | Where is the accused? |
34147 | Where learned ye the use o''that weapon, sir, if I may take the liberty of asking? |
34147 | Whither is our father gone? |
34147 | Who hath done this deed? |
34147 | Who is he? |
34147 | Who is there? |
34147 | Who succeeds the late baronet? |
34147 | Why do you lock up our five sons, when vengeance calls them to Gilmanscleugh? 34147 Why this hurry? |
34147 | Winna that be a botherer? |
34147 | You would not have me kill my kinsman, Mary, to get his lands for our son? 34147 _ Stop the supplies!_"returned Patie--"what do you mean, Robin? |
34147 | ''Are we friends again?'' |
34147 | ''He is not afraid of Long Ned?'' |
34147 | ''Is that the next o''t? |
34147 | ''So you are conversant with Pope, are you?'' |
34147 | ''What do you mean? |
34147 | ''What squad will ye list into?--what regiment will tak ye? |
34147 | ''What''s your name?'' |
34147 | ''Wherefore, boy, didst thou presume to contend with me?'' |
34147 | ''Who but God can tell the pure from the impure of heart? |
34147 | ''Why not, my dear? |
34147 | ''You do n''t mean to say that that''s my horse, my black horse?'' |
34147 | --or,''Peter, should I do that thing?'' |
34147 | And can I sit quiet with such a glass as this before me?" |
34147 | And so you ca n''t do nothin''but read and write?'' |
34147 | And what was this Tom Vallance, as I think you call him?" |
34147 | And why? |
34147 | At last, I ventured to say again--"''What ails ye, Tibby, dear?--are ye no weel?'' |
34147 | Both animals having been subjected to this display--"''Now, my good friend,''said Mr Darsy,''what''s your price?'' |
34147 | But how meikle has it cost ye? |
34147 | But how to get through the window?" |
34147 | But may I ask your honour how your honour happens to know so well about that affair?" |
34147 | But wha could hae thocht this wad hae come o''t? |
34147 | But what part of the play did Mr Dalzell and you act?" |
34147 | But what''s come o''yer frien?" |
34147 | But who are_ your_ people? |
34147 | But will the reader believe that it should have been the means of getting him into another of his lying predicaments? |
34147 | But, somehow or ither, I gathered courage to say--''Hoots, woman, what''s the use o''behavin that way? |
34147 | Can it be possible?" |
34147 | Can not your farmers dine here without kicking up a riot?" |
34147 | Can you handle a marlinspike?'' |
34147 | Can you walk, do you think? |
34147 | Did n''t you save my life in that''ere action with the Flower- de- louce? |
34147 | Do horse- jockeys quote Pope?'' |
34147 | Do n''t we keep alive the kindly feelings of man? |
34147 | Do not the lairds get all they can for their lands, the merchant get all he can for his goods, and the poor man get all he can for his labour? |
34147 | Do not the ministers of the church get all they can from their flocks? |
34147 | Do ye intend to list for a fifer laddie?'' |
34147 | Do you know him, sir?" |
34147 | Do you no think shame o''yoursel?'' |
34147 | Do you recollect of this, James?" |
34147 | Do you remember me now?" |
34147 | Do you tak me to be a robber or a murderer?" |
34147 | Does not the king and his ministers get all they can from the people by taxation? |
34147 | Has she lost the spirit of our house, and brought down her ambition to a mailing? |
34147 | Have n''t you been the best friend to me I ever had? |
34147 | Have n''t you often saved me from the gangway when I''ve dipped my whiskers too deep into the grog- kid? |
34147 | Have you any objection to take Mr M''Arthur for your husband? |
34147 | Have you forgotten that there has been a man with two horses waiting on you for this half- hour past? |
34147 | He found him standing in the horse market, and--"How''s a''wi''ye, my freend?" |
34147 | He had commenced practice in Edinburgh; fair prospects opened before him; his marriage- day was fixed; and need I say that the bride was Agnes? |
34147 | Henry inquired--"Is it not time for worship?" |
34147 | His sister, too-- what would she say to it? |
34147 | How should you like to go where you have just now sent these ships?" |
34147 | How should you like, now, to go abroad, and see the world? |
34147 | How''s your mother?'' |
34147 | I could be no worse than I was in London-- and where was the odds? |
34147 | I drew in a chair, and, though I was half- feared to speak--"''What''s the matter, my pet?'' |
34147 | I fear the hand of death is already upon me; and when I am gone, who will provide for your poor mother-- who will protect thee, my child? |
34147 | I forsake him for a week-- where should I be if He left me but for a moment?" |
34147 | I guess you will be a tar?" |
34147 | I had nae great abundance then mair than I''ve now; and--"''Is that a''ye hae?'' |
34147 | I say, Mr Dalzell, what was that you said about losing life, and all that gammon? |
34147 | I suppose that''s part o''the secret you were going to tell me?'' |
34147 | I suppose you have been in action together?" |
34147 | I''ll live to see you an_ admiral_ yet-- who knows? |
34147 | If Walter came in crying for supper--"Haste ye, my dame-- what cheer the night? |
34147 | Is there no satisfaction, my sons?" |
34147 | Is there no vengeance, Walter? |
34147 | Is this the way ye mean to carry on? |
34147 | Jack Square, you will not be ashamed to walk home with us?" |
34147 | Mr Tresham, have you been raised to the peerage?" |
34147 | Must I, before my time, go down to my grave dishonoured and disgraced? |
34147 | Now, tell me truly, were I in thy power as thou art in mine, what fate would ye award to Soulis?'' |
34147 | Now, tell me where I shall get a property for our remaining son?" |
34147 | O Robin, man!--Robin, man!--is it no awfu''? |
34147 | On the following morning--"''What keeps your reverend friend, brother?'' |
34147 | Onything doin amang the_ Friends_ in your pairt o''the country?" |
34147 | Rudeness has its evils; but is civilisation without them? |
34147 | Shall we to the kenn to- night? |
34147 | Sir Edward Vavasour Lord Mortlake? |
34147 | Square, what do you wish?" |
34147 | Surely you do not dare to deceive me? |
34147 | That will be a treat, eh?'' |
34147 | The bairns became as obedient as lambs, and she soon came to say--''Peter, should I do this thing?'' |
34147 | The question was often put by one who slept--"Are the three days past yet?" |
34147 | Tom''s countenance fell"And must I leave_ you_--the only being in the world, save my mother, whom I love? |
34147 | Was not thy wish granted? |
34147 | Well, but what on earth has an advertisement of this sort to do with the Border Tales? |
34147 | Well, you''re right for once in your life, my boy; but how the devil did you find me out?'' |
34147 | Wha wad ever hae thocht or dreamt o''such a thing?" |
34147 | What a time o''nicht is this to keep a body to, waiting and fretting on o''ye, their lane? |
34147 | What better cause of quarrel need ye now than you ever did-- a good hanger?" |
34147 | What do you mean by that?'' |
34147 | What do you think o''that now, sir, for a clever move?" |
34147 | What do you think of that?" |
34147 | What great deal could it cost me?'' |
34147 | What inducement could he have to commit so dreadful a crime?" |
34147 | What is honour but a fluctuating opinion? |
34147 | What kind o''horses were they ye selt us? |
34147 | What mean you?" |
34147 | What of it?--where are thy fellows?'' |
34147 | What right have the sons of the Flower of Yarrow to more than the half of what hath served one Scott of Gilmanscleugh? |
34147 | What say you, Flora? |
34147 | What says my Bill?'' |
34147 | What the deevil tempted me to speak such nonsense? |
34147 | What would you think, then, Mr M''Arthur, of my daughter here as a make- weight on this occasion?" |
34147 | What''s the meaning of that?'' |
34147 | What''s your name, my little fellow?" |
34147 | What''s your name?" |
34147 | Where be thy wits, Wat? |
34147 | Where d''ye hail from, eh?--where d''ye come from?'' |
34147 | Where was his resolution? |
34147 | Who but he separate the tares from the wheat, the corn from the chaff? |
34147 | Who has belied me to your honour? |
34147 | Why may not a horse- jockey understand and appreciate Pope as well as any other man? |
34147 | Will you be a soldier, a sailor, or a ruined, burned- out tradesman? |
34147 | Will your suffering the last penalty of the law convince the world that you did not commit the murder?" |
34147 | Ye wad be treating them, nae doubt-- and how meikle hae ye spent, if it be a fair question?'' |
34147 | You know it, I fancy?" |
34147 | You took to bad courses, I suppose, and so your friends sent you to sea, to reclaim you: was that it?'' |
34147 | You turned me off the grounds when you had the power, and you will not think it unreasonable, now that I have it, if I turn you off-- eh?" |
34147 | You were sober enough, and sad enough, goodness knows, when we parted; and how did you escape?'' |
34147 | _ You_ knew nothing before you were taught-- how can you expect_ me_ to do so?'' |
34147 | and do you pretend, sir, to be ignorant of my meaning?'' |
34147 | and why ask ye for the bloody vest, which should be the pennon to fly over the smoking ruins of the destroyer''s tower? |
34147 | and why come alone?'' |
34147 | asked his conscience;"and have I not served Him as though He were Lord of the Sabbath only? |
34147 | cried Tibby--''whar hae ye been? |
34147 | cried she, wi''a scream;''and when was there a speerit bottle within this door? |
34147 | cried she--''wha can be weel? |
34147 | cried she;''is the_ body_ drunk?'' |
34147 | cried the fierce sorcerer;''why did ye live to remind me of the shame of the house of Soulis?'' |
34147 | do you mean to deny your spontaneous acknowledgment of the fact, made last night in the presence of two credible witnesses?" |
34147 | exclaimed Miss Sarah,''are you at that odious Pope again? |
34147 | exclaimed his sister, in alarm;''does_ he_ quote Pope, too? |
34147 | he exclaimed,"what am I to do with myself? |
34147 | how came you to be here then? |
34147 | if we carry our thoughts farther, how little may we have to felicitate ourselves on in the pictured contrast? |
34147 | is it possible?" |
34147 | muttered Soulis to himself;''what means the fiend?'' |
34147 | or refuse, and look thy fill on his smooth face as his head adorns the point of my good spear?'' |
34147 | quo''she,''what bottle?--what does the man mean?--has he pairted wi''the little sense that he ever had?'' |
34147 | rejoined the sorcerer;''who dare speak of vengeance on the house of Soulis?--or whom call ye king? |
34147 | replied he;''eh, old boy, who else should it be?'' |
34147 | said I, hurrying towards her;"what is the matter with the girl?" |
34147 | said I,"Pope again?" |
34147 | said I,''do you not know me?'' |
34147 | said I,''is that you?'' |
34147 | said I,''whar''s the cause for a''this? |
34147 | said Patie--"what do ye mean, Robin?" |
34147 | said she;''do ye say_ list_?'' |
34147 | said she;''if ye gie me ony mair o''yer provocation, I''ll pu''yer lugs for ye-- wull ye put up wi''that?'' |
34147 | says I--''what''s happened ye?'' |
34147 | says she,''and neebor too!--an''how meikle will that cost ye?'' |
34147 | says she;''whar are ye gaun?'' |
34147 | says she;''what in the name o''fortune''s gaun to tak ye there?'' |
34147 | she exclaimed, and screamed aloud,''would ye harm my Walter?'' |
34147 | she exclaimed--"is he dead?" |
34147 | the son of the old housekeeper?" |
34147 | what is that?" |
34147 | where is this to end? |
34147 | wherefore hast thou summoned me before the time I commanded thee? |
34150 | And did ye no come and seek anither? 34150 And do n''t you know where they went to, or when they will be home?" |
34150 | And how much do ye think it would cost to obtain the seat? |
34150 | And wha is he,inquired Bertha,"wha thus shoves his head into leddies''bowers, and sae timously saves them frae the hands o''kidnappers?" |
34150 | And wha tell''t ye sic a lee? |
34150 | And wha was he? |
34150 | And what do you seek for your marriage- service? |
34150 | And what for can it no be? |
34150 | And what kind of flowers have they to feed on? |
34150 | And what may the schulemaister o''Selkirk be wanting wi''me? |
34150 | And what name more decent or respectable could we gie him than our own? |
34150 | And what story''s that, Watty? |
34150 | And what,inquired I,"became of Mrs Donaldson, and her sons Paul and Peter?" |
34150 | Are they no a''weel at hame? |
34150 | Are ye in much pain? |
34150 | Are you,she said, addressing the person without--"are you really in the situation you represent yourself to be?" |
34150 | Ay, where got ye that? 34150 But Richie, my man, hae ye no heard-- d''ye no ken?" |
34150 | But how am I to let ye ken I''m here? |
34150 | But what could hae garred him leave our Ellen? |
34150 | But why were you abroad in such a night as this, and at such an hour? |
34150 | Can ye gie''s anither bottle, Jenny? |
34150 | Can ye show me your handwriting? 34150 Can you figure?" |
34150 | Christie, ye rascal ye,said Peter, stamping his foot,"what news are these your master tells o''ye? |
34150 | Dear me, man, can ye no hae patience a bit? 34150 Dear me, man,"said Jenny,"what was a''yer hurry? |
34150 | Did he go last night also? |
34150 | Did ye no see him this day, bairn, laid by the side o''his faither amang the saft mould o''Death''s Croft? |
34150 | Do ye not know,says I,"that I''m about to leave this quarter, for guid and a'', for America?" |
34150 | Do you not know me? |
34150 | Do you think so? |
34150 | George, George!--Oh man, how can ye mak light o''the sorrows o''yer ain Menie? |
34150 | Get up, woman,said he;"why do you lie there? |
34150 | Good people,said the perplexed and terrified cratur,"what do you mean? |
34150 | Good women,he at length said,"what is the meaning of this? |
34150 | Hae ye nae suspicion o''the treacherous caitifs? |
34150 | Has she been_ seized_? |
34150 | Has she nae doctor, puir thing? |
34150 | Has yer enemy been at her auld wark again? 34150 Heard ye, my young leddy, the sounds last night in the beechwood?" |
34150 | Hoot, hoot, guidwife,he replied,"what does that signify? |
34150 | Hoot, what serves a''this cangling? |
34150 | How came you by your knowledge? 34150 How does my scraper sit?" |
34150 | How long is it since you left it? |
34150 | How many, think ye? |
34150 | How much do your generosity and kindness show me I have lost, and lost for ever? 34150 How should I know, brother?" |
34150 | I again found that I was free: but my wife-- my child-- where were they? 34150 I do,"added Peter;"and now, Paul, what do you think I intend to do with the money which this will bring?" |
34150 | If the throstle hen kens nae the mottled lover that sings to her, what other bird o''the wood can come to the knowledge? |
34150 | Is he with your father? |
34150 | Is it he with whom you attempted to elope that night when Bertha fell on the bridge? |
34150 | Is it possible,asked I, again and again, o''mysel,"that I am married? |
34150 | Is that a''? |
34150 | Is that him? |
34150 | Is that the name of my preserver, Bertha? |
34150 | Is that you, David? |
34150 | Is your daughter at home, good woman? |
34150 | It certainly was as well for you that I was here,replied the soldier, modestly;"but have you any idea of who the villains could be?" |
34150 | Jenny,replied David, now somewhat mair sincerely,"will ye tell me at ance what ye mean? |
34150 | Look ye, Paul-- observe this bridal party at the alter-- see the blush on the bride''s cheek, the joy in the bride- groom''s eye-- is it not natural? 34150 Might I ask, if ye like_ me_?" |
34150 | Mither, oh, mither-- she''s butt the house; but what do you want wi''her? |
34150 | Oh help us!--help us?--what''s to be dune wi''him? |
34150 | Oh, is that what he''s driving at? |
34150 | Oh, where is the Captain?--where is Edwards? 34150 Reason!--what reason can you have but your own idle and absurd fears?" |
34150 | See ye the little thatched house at the foot o''Lincleugh Hill yonder? |
34150 | Shall we admit him? |
34150 | Suppose we just call him Thornton-- Peter Thornton? |
34150 | The foul fiend? |
34150 | Well, what has that to do with it? |
34150 | Were you seen, Menie? |
34150 | Wha shall I buckle, then? |
34150 | Whar am I? 34150 What aboot Tam and the kirn, James?" |
34150 | What are ye gaun to do at the Linthaughs? |
34150 | What do you mean, girl? |
34150 | What do you mean? |
34150 | What for did he tell us ye were dead, Richie? |
34150 | What hae I done? |
34150 | What have ye got, faither? |
34150 | What have you got, Andrew? |
34150 | What in the world can hae put him sae? |
34150 | What is it, my good woman? |
34150 | What is it? |
34150 | What is the latitude? |
34150 | What is the meaning of all this? |
34150 | What is this, Menie? |
34150 | What is this? |
34150 | What is your pleasure wi''her or wi''me? |
34150 | What is''t ye''re speakin o'', Ellen? 34150 What kind of bees have they?" |
34150 | What may be their value, Peter? |
34150 | What mean you, Bertha? |
34150 | What services in a''the world can ye render, auld carle? |
34150 | What ship is that? |
34150 | What think you o''Margery, my housemaid? |
34150 | What wad ye think o''our tryin him again? |
34150 | What was it ye were gaun to tell me? |
34150 | What was it, Mary? |
34150 | What was''t? |
34150 | What were they about? |
34150 | What''s happened? |
34150 | What''s that, mine host? |
34150 | What''s the matter wi''ye and her now, James? |
34150 | What''s your name, sir? |
34150 | What, sir!--what mean you, sir, to ask a colonel in His Majesty''s service_ to turn a cow_? |
34150 | What, what, what is the matter with you? |
34150 | What_ is_ this reason of yours for so unreasonable a fear? |
34150 | Where are you going, William? |
34150 | Where can the laddie have gone to? |
34150 | Where do ye come from? |
34150 | Where is she? |
34150 | Where was I to hear it? |
34150 | Where were you going to, and whence came you? |
34150 | Where''s my nose? |
34150 | Where''s my_''at_? |
34150 | Who has not heard of my father, the colonel? |
34150 | Who is dead? |
34150 | Why do n''t you say''sir''to me when you address me? 34150 Why do ye conceal her illness, Euphan, woman? |
34150 | Why, sir, do you use no more ceremony with me, knowing who I am, sir? 34150 Why, wha else did ye tak me for, Ellen?" |
34150 | Will ye consent to be George Wallace''s wife on Fastern''s E''en, and leave the city guardsman to your rival? |
34150 | Will ye cross the Atlantic with me, Margery? |
34150 | Will ye speak sae that we can understand ye, faither? |
34150 | Would ye like to hear it? |
34150 | Ye dinna mean to say sae? |
34150 | You have n''t heard, then,says the other,"of Miss Cochrane''s affair?" |
34150 | ''Can I forget her partin kiss, Her last fond look, and true love token? |
34150 | --to be true, can I avoid placing you amongst the_ fishing pedants_? |
34150 | 210 in the exhibition?" |
34150 | A little girl, about ten years of age, makes her appearance, and is accosted with--"Lassie, where is your mother?" |
34150 | After a'', wha cares? |
34150 | Am I sae changed, that ye dinna ken yer auld freend, Richie Goldie?" |
34150 | Am I to be a bride on Fastern''s E''en, or a disowned and heart- broken maiden? |
34150 | And do ye think that I could e''er To others passion vow, Were death to break the link that binds Our hearts so closely now?" |
34150 | And how do these bees get into the skeps?" |
34150 | And is it all past you-- all in the house?" |
34150 | And wha was sae vindictive against the rascally rebels, as he ca''ed them, as our wee bagman? |
34150 | And what kind of skeps have they?" |
34150 | And what was it, think ye? |
34150 | And who art thou who thus speakest of others? |
34150 | And who does not see, at once, that this is a"PROSING IDIOT?" |
34150 | And who gave you, or your father''s son, a man of business, pray? |
34150 | And, without waitin for ony answer, she proceeded--"But whar hae ye left the basket, Davie? |
34150 | Andrew!--what is''t?" |
34150 | Andrew, jewel-- what is''t?" |
34150 | Andrew, will I tell it?" |
34150 | Are thae your sentiments, Menie? |
34150 | As soon as he made his appearance, Neptune exclaimed--"Who have we got here? |
34150 | At length he said--"Could you, sir, procure me a visit from a clergyman? |
34150 | But are they numerous?" |
34150 | But are we not told to change not a freend for the gold of Ophir?" |
34150 | But are you able to wander to Mosscairn, child?" |
34150 | But he certainly hadna to tarry lang; for, in twa or three minutes after, a soft, low voice was heard sayin--"Whar are ye, David?" |
34150 | But how did you get_ into_ the cable- tier?" |
34150 | But how is your mother? |
34150 | But how was his revenge to be gratified? |
34150 | But tell me, man, whar ye put the basket; for it may be missed? |
34150 | But what said you of his health? |
34150 | But who waits there? |
34150 | But you say that you never knew your parents-- what know you of your history?" |
34150 | Can I forget my father''s hearth-- My mother by the ingle spinnin-- Their weel- pleased look to see the mirth O''a''their bairnies round them rinnin? |
34150 | Can ye no speak to me? |
34150 | Can you forgive me?--can you forgive a dying and a penitent man?" |
34150 | Can you make out what she is?" |
34150 | Can you write any?" |
34150 | Can your heart receive him, Menie?" |
34150 | Come, gie''s yer han, and we''ll think nae mair o''t?" |
34150 | Cruel and revengeful as I have been, can you still forgive me?" |
34150 | Did you not promise to assist me to inquire for his health? |
34150 | Did you not see your own Matilda carried off by men? |
34150 | Do ye gie me leave?" |
34150 | Do ye mind that story? |
34150 | Do ye not tak into consideration that the bairn is learning in a foreign language? |
34150 | Does he always announce his approach in such style?" |
34150 | Fear not, child; tell me, were ye seen by the eyes o''mortal?" |
34150 | Goldie was one of the first up, and, rushing aft on the poop, he exclaimed,"Where is he?" |
34150 | Good reader( for all readers of those Tales are good, like the Tales themselves), dost thou know anything about Johnnie Hastie or his shears? |
34150 | Hae ye such a thing as an auld broad bonnet aboot ye, that ye could lend me?" |
34150 | Has adverse fate another evil in store for a daughter of affliction?" |
34150 | Has there been a murder at my door through the night? |
34150 | Have ye any specimens upon you?" |
34150 | Have you read the''Laus Stultitiæ''of Erasmus, sir; or, as it is more frequently expressed in Greek terms, the Encomium Moriæ? |
34150 | He can do-- what can he not do? |
34150 | He has done-- what has he not done? |
34150 | He now, also, began to put questions that greatly alarmed them-- such as, Was there nobody in the house but themselves? |
34150 | He snatched up the towel, spread it over the mouth o''t, lifted the huge stone with which all had been secured, dashed it down-- on what? |
34150 | Hoo fares Matilda Rollo? |
34150 | How can you be so silly, girl, as even to speak seriously, let alone putting any faith in such nonsense as this?" |
34150 | How does that happen?" |
34150 | How far distant was the nearest house? |
34150 | I houp ye haena forgotten that tae?" |
34150 | I will to him yet, and explain a'', and the men will speak for me; but wha were they? |
34150 | I''ve ne''er through life loved ane but you; And must the hopes o''years Be rooted from my heart at once, And quench''d in bitter tears?" |
34150 | Into the house I went, however, and meeting auld_ mooter- the- melder_ in the entry--"How''s a''wi''ye, freend?" |
34150 | Is a''that ruin o''health and beauty the doin o''him wha loved her as nae man ever loved woman? |
34150 | Is the laddie out o''his head?" |
34150 | Is there anything in my appearance so dreadful as to excite this extraordinary alarm? |
34150 | Is''t in the barn?" |
34150 | It may not be that it was their choice( as whose choice is it?) |
34150 | It was certainly a girl''s love, and elderly people will laugh at it; but why should they laugh? |
34150 | It''s wrong for you to breathe; For oh, is wretchedness the gift To_ me_ ye would bequeath? |
34150 | Kenned ye ony o''them? |
34150 | Menie, will ye now consent to be the wife o''him wha wrought, maybe unwittingly, to your ruin?" |
34150 | Now, tell me candidly, as a brother, is it not a gem?" |
34150 | On enterin the kitchen whar the weans war, to the number o''three or four--"What keeps ye a''in the hoose sic a nice bonny day as this?" |
34150 | On entering the house--"Well, my good women,"said the soldier,"are you now satisfied of the sincerity of my intentions towards you? |
34150 | On the usual salutation, expressed, as Euphan thought, in a strange voice, and accompanied by stranger looks--"Is Menie ill the day?" |
34150 | Tell me, tell me-- have you heard how he is?" |
34150 | The girl started from his touch, with a cold shudder, and muttered--"Is it no gane yet?" |
34150 | Then, after a pause,"What does the woman mean? |
34150 | Then, becomin querist in turn--"Do ye ken what sort o''a man he is, my lord?" |
34150 | There''s nought here but yersel and me? |
34150 | They asked each other"if they had seen the Member of Parliament with the spade in his hand again?" |
34150 | This scheme being formed, I says to her--"Margery, did you ever hear the waesome ballad about Jeanie Sanderson and her sweetheart?" |
34150 | This was the miller''s youngest daughter.--"What feck o''siller has Betty?" |
34150 | Was it my cap and red coat that frightened you so? |
34150 | Was it possible that Bertha was in the interest of the man who had attempted to force her affections, by retaining possession of her person? |
34150 | Was there ever such a queer world, ma''am? |
34150 | Were we not to visit him when my strength permitted? |
34150 | Wha are they, and how cam ye by the knowledge?" |
34150 | Whar can he hae been stravagin on the Lord''s- day afternoon? |
34150 | Whar were you carried, and wha were the ruffians? |
34150 | What are our moderns to them? |
34150 | What are you afraid of? |
34150 | What are you afraid of?" |
34150 | What bottles o''ale and baskets are ye speakin aboot?" |
34150 | What business may you have to manage, which a servant lass may not conduct to a favourable conclusion with a three- pronged grape?" |
34150 | What could this mean? |
34150 | What do ye mean? |
34150 | What do you mean?" |
34150 | What gars ye turn awa yer head, as though ye''d seen a bogle? |
34150 | What had they dune?" |
34150 | What is Southey to Virgil, or Scott to Homer, Tom Moore to Anacreon, or the lyrics of Burns to those of Horace? |
34150 | What means it, Bertha? |
34150 | What of George Templeton? |
34150 | What on earth could it mean? |
34150 | What ridiculous fears are these?"'' |
34150 | What say ye, now, as it is probable that his faither''s name began wi''a C, if we were to call him Christopher? |
34150 | What says that blessed book on the merits o''forgiveness and the crime o''revenge?" |
34150 | What the devil do you mean?" |
34150 | What will not jealousy, goaded on by officious and injudicious friendship, do? |
34150 | What_ can_ she mean?" |
34150 | When do you rise, ma''am? |
34150 | When, Bertha, shall we visit him?" |
34150 | Where did you spring from?" |
34150 | Where do you find them in the orations of the immortal orators of Greece or Rome? |
34150 | Who would murder you? |
34150 | Who would not fret if placed naked, all face over, in a whin bush? |
34150 | Whom have we next in this our show- box of rarities? |
34150 | Why did he no speak to me-- or why did I no speak to him? |
34150 | Why is he not here?" |
34150 | Why look thus upon me, nurse? |
34150 | Will ye bring her to justice, the gallows-- and me to a still deeper ruin and desolation than that which hang over this house o''innocent suffering? |
34150 | Yet, why do I put that question? |
34150 | added she, kissing the wee lassie,"and say if ye could grudge her bit of brade, poor sowl, or the brade of the moder that bore her?" |
34150 | after a'', wha cares?" |
34150 | and am I, and is my miserable wife, safe in the keepin o''your forgiveness?" |
34150 | and did ye no come three or four times to the window?" |
34150 | and have a''yer mother''s injunctions failed to get ye to rest on the sure foundation o''conscious innocence? |
34150 | and, as we found him in the month o''May, we should gie him a surname after the month, and call him Christopher May? |
34150 | are ye there again already?" |
34150 | can this be my Menie? |
34150 | continued he, starting back, with surprise,"who the deuce have we got here? |
34150 | cried he,"can you inform me where I shall find the right worshipful the mayor?" |
34150 | ejaculated the nurse,"why did ye leave me to seek my way back owre the brig, without the helpin hand o''your love and assistance? |
34150 | ejeculated the student, in surprise;"do you say so?" |
34150 | exclaimed Peter, with a look of half fear and bewilderment;"what in a''the world is the matter wi''ye, Christopher? |
34150 | exclaimed Rebecca, breathlessly, who possessed no small portion of her father''s pride;"how muckle is''t?--will we can keep a coach?" |
34150 | exclaimed Richie;"sure it canna be Ned Cummin?" |
34150 | exclaimed he--"hae ye forgotten me? |
34150 | hae ye finished a hail bottle already? |
34150 | how much will it require?" |
34150 | on the lid? |
34150 | or by whom am I brought here?'' |
34150 | or,"Weel, Andrew, hoo''s a''wi''ye the day?" |
34150 | said Mr. Donaldson,"have I not paid for the borough, and is it not mine? |
34150 | said he, again, stamping his foot,"did I not_ order_ you to_ order_ John Bell to_ send_ the bottles?" |
34150 | said he, somewhat alarmed,"what can have come owre the woman? |
34150 | wha was''t that got them, and whar are they?" |
34150 | what for, Jane? |
34150 | what spell is on me? |
34150 | what''s the news?" |
34150 | where got ye that?" |
34150 | your coming now I watch In sickness and in pain; But will ye seek my mother''s door When once that I am gane?" |
37336 | Abram, will you be so good as take a walk up the High Street? 37336 All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord"---- So says the divine monitor; but what says modern fashion and refinement? |
37336 | And all this happened twenty years ago? |
37336 | And can not even suspect any one? |
37336 | And canna be fashioned to man''s purposes, and made a picklock o''? 37336 And could ye do naething to save this puir woman, the wife o''a gude buirdly man, wi''an open hand to your kin, and the mither o''a family?" |
37336 | And dare not speak? |
37336 | And did I no see you look at him as ye never looked at man before? |
37336 | And did ye no steal from me my secret about my puir laddie, that ye may string him to a wuddy? 37336 And has mints o''siller?" |
37336 | And now, Jones, you and your neighbour take charge of that door-- keep seeing it without it seeing; you understand? 37336 And shall I not? |
37336 | And shall I not? |
37336 | And that are there? |
37336 | And that? |
37336 | And was it you that knocked me down, doctor? |
37336 | And wha may they be noo, if I may speer? |
37336 | And what could be the motive? |
37336 | And what did you do with it? |
37336 | And what did you pay for it? |
37336 | And what for no? |
37336 | And what for should I no ken whase finger it is? |
37336 | And what money- bribe was it ye spak o''sae secretly and darkly? |
37336 | And what took ye out so soon after he was awa''? |
37336 | And what, in the name o''Heaven, and a''the ither powers up and down and round and round, was the aith that ye swore to him? |
37336 | And where ish the milk- woman? |
37336 | And where was that, pray? |
37336 | And who cares who they may be? |
37336 | And who occupies it now? |
37336 | And yet she_ is_ your bride, and will be your wife to- morrow? |
37336 | And you can give me no trace of her? |
37336 | And you never gave the woman a dose? |
37336 | And you''ve been remembering a''ye are to say? |
37336 | And you''ve forgotten the pirn scrape? |
37336 | Anywhere near the time of the girl''s death? |
37336 | But hae I no laid my very hand on the fleshless head o''the bonny misguided creature? 37336 But suppose I should,"replied James,"how is the thing to be managed? |
37336 | But they say ye ken mair than ither folk? |
37336 | But wha, in God''s name, is the witness against me? |
37336 | But you want me to help you to be able to prove the bribe out of her own mouth, do n''t you? |
37336 | By these ruffians? |
37336 | Can you give my fellow- traveller here shelter till the morning? 37336 Can you mend that?" |
37336 | Christian, woman, will ye no speak, when I can get nae rest? 37336 Dear me, doctor,"said Mr. Thomson, advancing towards the former, whom he at once recognised,"what''s the matter? |
37336 | Did I not swear by Dian and the stars I would love her? |
37336 | Did you ever get anything mended by him? |
37336 | Didna I tell ye before that she''s no at hame? |
37336 | Do a''the best houses hereawa belang to the clergy? |
37336 | Do any of you know Mr. Thomas Dallas, the Clerk to the Signet, who lived once in Lady Stair''s Close? |
37336 | Do n''t you in your heart-- or hope, at any rate-- think the Lord Advocate a liar? 37336 Do ye mean to say that she''s no in the hoose?" |
37336 | Do you know any of them? |
37336 | Do you recollect the names of any of these gay gallants? |
37336 | Do you remember anything happening when Lord Spynie was in the house in Bell''s Wynd? |
37336 | Do you want to be hanged? |
37336 | Does yon belang to the clergy too? |
37336 | Fat, tiel, would you tak the man stark naked through the street? |
37336 | For what? |
37336 | Good head, that, of Joseph,he said with a laugh;"hollow, eh?" |
37336 | Gude sake, woman,said Willie, rising in great alarm from his seat, and edging towards the outer gate--"What''s a''this for? |
37336 | Hae we nae lugs and een, ay, and stamachs, like ither folk? |
37336 | Hae ye heard? |
37336 | Has not that woman the appearance of Four- toes? |
37336 | Have I no seen what I have seen? 37336 Have n''t you half a notion, now, of what you have been about the same blessed night?" |
37336 | Heard ye ever, Mr. Morton, of a certain fair and wealthy young lady of the name of Jessie Craig? |
37336 | How d''ye do? 37336 How did''st learn of our coming?" |
37336 | How do you explain this, doctor? |
37336 | How long have you been here in Bell''s Wynd? |
37336 | How long is it since you made this purchase? |
37336 | I say, man,seizing and holding him in the usual way,"have you catched the woman yet?" |
37336 | Is it true your wife did it, then, you d----d idiot? |
37336 | Is it whiteness-- paleness-- ye mean by colour? 37336 Is n''t Geordie, my good woman, called Squint?" |
37336 | Is she not a liar, who falsified my words? |
37336 | Is she not a thief, who appropriated the diamond gift of my mother, intended for you? 37336 Is that all you know of her? |
37336 | Is there more honour in adhering to a breach of honour than in returning to the honour that was broken? |
37336 | John Craig''s daughter? |
37336 | Ken ye, Sir Robert, what has brought his Grace here at present? |
37336 | Mean I? 37336 Mrs. Gourlay,"said Mr. B----,"you are the wife of George Gourlay, blacksmith?" |
37336 | No trace of P---- or any of the English gang? |
37336 | Now what, in the name of decoration, are these prints hung up on that wall for? |
37336 | Now, what is the meaning o''a''this, my lads? 37336 One twenty years unopened?" |
37336 | Patience, patience, Christian,replied the woman,"what are you to do?" |
37336 | Saw you ever so lovely a piece of workmanship? 37336 Shall I put up your horse, sir?" |
37336 | She''s my lady noo; but what will become o''the mice? |
37336 | Sir,replied Edward,"pity me; and, oh, tell me is Mrs Fen- wick here-- or her daughter- in- law?" |
37336 | Then what am I here for? |
37336 | Then you knew that they came without the knowledge and against the wishes of your master? |
37336 | Then you must have been in? |
37336 | Then, who gave her the poison? |
37336 | Then, why ask me to help you to find her? |
37336 | Then,continued the old man,"you can not tell who occupied the flat below at that long period back?" |
37336 | There is haste here,he thought;"what is up?" |
37336 | True, goodwife,said David;"but was not his doing so but a means of fulfilling the prognostication? |
37336 | Vat ish it, gentlemen? |
37336 | Wad ye like to ken? |
37336 | Wadna I? 37336 Was Mr. Guthrie a married man?" |
37336 | Was yer mither lang ill? |
37336 | Weel, the milk- woman-- ye ken wha I mean? |
37336 | Weel, what is''t-- that I''m to feed them weel, and keep them clean? |
37336 | Well, Edward,said the old man, as he took a seat,"what is this that thou hast done now?" |
37336 | Well, Sir Robert, and what then? |
37336 | Well; what if the king should have been smitten with her beauty, having seen her accidentally in Edinburgh, where she was lately? 37336 Wha hasna heard? |
37336 | Whar''s the laird? 37336 What ails ye, George?" |
37336 | What ails ye, George? |
37336 | What ails ye, George? |
37336 | What ails ye? |
37336 | What although ye hae seen him? 37336 What are you to make of that riddle? |
37336 | What can you want, Mr. M----, with that old, never- mend vagabond? |
37336 | What do ye mean, James? |
37336 | What do you mean? |
37336 | What is it? |
37336 | What is that? |
37336 | What is the business? |
37336 | What is''t that troubles thee, my bird? |
37336 | What kind of woman was she? |
37336 | What mean you, Christian? |
37336 | What means this letter? |
37336 | What more? |
37336 | What terrible words are these? |
37336 | What though my face be pale, and my eyes heavy, and my pulse a little quicker than usual, am I to dee for a''that? 37336 What woman?" |
37336 | Whaur may she be noo? |
37336 | When was she here last? |
37336 | When will Jones be there? |
37336 | Where are you going? |
37336 | Where did you find her? |
37336 | Where do you live, Christian? |
37336 | Where do you live? |
37336 | Where is Meg Davidson? |
37336 | Who can this be? |
37336 | Who is it? |
37336 | Who that has once seen him will ever forget him? |
37336 | Who''s it from? |
37336 | Why did n''t one of you track Four- toes? 37336 Why do you add these words?" |
37336 | Why should I conceal from you, Christian? |
37336 | Why should I live? |
37336 | Why so? |
37336 | Why? 37336 Will you let me see it?" |
37336 | Willie, man,at length said James, when his mirth had somewhat subsided,"what''s this has happened thee? |
37336 | With that singular foxhound organ of yours? |
37336 | You can, of course, open a padlock? |
37336 | You do n''t know her name? |
37336 | You have no other place you can go to now? |
37336 | You must have been in, and-- and-- know the secret? |
37336 | Your Grace has doubtless come hither,said the former gravely,"to enjoy the delightful view which this eminence commands?" |
37336 | --starting as if surprised--"have ye been lyin'', man-- confined-- sick?--what, in God''s name, has been the matter wi''ye? |
37336 | A stranger came from one of the outhouses and inquired,"What dost thou want, man?" |
37336 | Again urged by curiosity, he put the question,"Whom do you speak of, good folks?" |
37336 | An undoing of the clothes would have shown him-- how much more? |
37336 | And does Marjory Bower counsel it? |
37336 | And hae I no been a guid wife to Geordie Gourlay? |
37336 | And how can ye get them but through the fire of the law, and the waters of the gospel? |
37336 | And how come the king''s servants to be sae ill lodged at this time o''night? |
37336 | And is not fishing or angling with the rod a most fascinating amusement? |
37336 | And was I no guilty mysel'', wha played into her hands, and was fause to him wha fed me?" |
37336 | And who that has enjoyed this one little hour of success would consider the purchase as dearly made? |
37336 | And,"after a pause,"you have kept your sworn promise?" |
37336 | Ann Hall, my auldest friend, will ye do this thing for me?" |
37336 | Are any tramps in the habit of coming about you?" |
37336 | Are you well enough?" |
37336 | As he sat in the fore- part of the vessel, silent and gloomy, they repeated the dreadful question--"What ails ye, George?" |
37336 | Ay, the very goose I plucked, and drew, and singed, and put on the spit-- what for is it there, think ye, cummer, but to testify? |
37336 | Ay, what though it were cut off altogether, if you get your wife''s back without being coloured blue by the hangman? |
37336 | But Geordie became wild;--was she dead outright? |
37336 | But are you not the labouring mountain yourself, and do you not wish me to become the midwife?" |
37336 | But then it was not easy to act this solitary part; for what more natural than that those passing to his own celebration should salute him? |
37336 | But what interest had you in being so very kind to the woman who was to bring shame on your family by bearing a child to your son?" |
37336 | But whaurfor no Geordie?" |
37336 | But whither all this hot haste-- whither was he flying? |
37336 | But why should not the sluttish girl''s bed have been made at a time of the day when a goose was roasting for dinner? |
37336 | Come, Abram-- unless you would like to walk at a safe distance?" |
37336 | Could ye no get me a glisk o''her ony way, just for ae minute?" |
37336 | Didna ye say to me ye were an honest man, ay, even as cauld iron or steel, and what ought ye to hae to fear? |
37336 | Do n''t you hear the voice of some one shouting without?" |
37336 | Do you comprehend?" |
37336 | Do you know anything of this woman with the white mice, who takes upon herself the burden of a self- accusation? |
37336 | Do you understand that-- eh?" |
37336 | Dost thou promise, Edward-- oh, dost thou promise thy poor mother this?" |
37336 | For can matter think? |
37336 | For what are a''thae things keepit, as man keeps the apple o''his e''e? |
37336 | Force open the door? |
37336 | Gourlay?" |
37336 | Guthrie?" |
37336 | Guthrie?" |
37336 | Has she no mark, man? |
37336 | He shuddered: yet he looked ben into the old dark lobby, where he had groped and so nearly lost himself; and what did he see? |
37336 | Heard you ever the story?" |
37336 | Her answer was ready----"How could they hang an innocent woman?" |
37336 | How are ye? |
37336 | How could it have been brought about else?" |
37336 | How did Betty permit it? |
37336 | How would_ you_ have liked it, Sweet Marjory? |
37336 | How would_ you_ have liked that honour, Marjory? |
37336 | I have given you her name; and when had a culprit so peculiar and striking a designation as being the proprietor of a peripatetic menagerie?" |
37336 | If the white figure was the spirit of that thing which he had seen so partially in the bed, would it not return to flit about its own old tenement? |
37336 | If ye canna, or winna tell me whaur Mistress Craig is, could ye no gie''s a bit inklin''o''whan ye expect her hame?" |
37336 | In half an hour after, wha comes rushing in but my master? |
37336 | Is Sweet Marjory destined to bless the nuptial bed of another?" |
37336 | Is her nose long or short? |
37336 | Is it not the thing that doubts which distrusts its own being? |
37336 | Is it possible ye have felt or feel nae change?" |
37336 | Is my brain no het aneugh, but ye maun set lowe to it, and burn it? |
37336 | Is my heart no like aneugh to brak its strings, but ye maun tug at them? |
37336 | Is n''t the world a great leavened lump of lies from the Cape of Good Hope to the Cape of Wrath? |
37336 | Is she not an undutiful daughter, who first deceived her mother by a falsehood, and then denounced her as herself false? |
37336 | Is that woman, with the form of an angel and the heart of a devil, to be my wife? |
37336 | Ken ye nae woman- tramp- will tak them, and show them about as you do?" |
37336 | Know you not that in a forsaken woman the heart has an irony even when it is breaking? |
37336 | M----?" |
37336 | Men are sometimes forgetfu''; but what man, or woman either, ever forgets their property or heirlooms? |
37336 | Need I tell you that this was a finishing blow to the old man? |
37336 | Now, are ye firm?" |
37336 | Now, can you share beggary with me?" |
37336 | Now, is it so? |
37336 | Or is it the fly with which you are plying the river''s fuller and more seaward flow? |
37336 | Paid martyrdom!--paid by whom?" |
37336 | S----?" |
37336 | S----?" |
37336 | She has none but you, and can you speak thus? |
37336 | She whispered to Mess John-- most unseemly; but was she not the Devil Isobel? |
37336 | Speak man: Have those sights and things taught you aught of a purpose? |
37336 | The question,"What ails ye, George?" |
37336 | Then, musing a little,"Do you know that the bride has been seen to- night on the bastle tower?" |
37336 | There are more foxes in the cover than one; and shall it be said I, David M----, can not beat out another as stimulating to the nose?" |
37336 | Thomson''s_ house?" |
37336 | Vash not the cup put in Benjamin''s sack?" |
37336 | Vat ish your name?" |
37336 | Was not the fleshless corpse of his dead wife still there? |
37336 | Were the brethren fools enough to put the representation of a cup on Benjamin''s sack?" |
37336 | Wha wad guarantee your no lyin''doun an''deein''by the road- side? |
37336 | Wha was that goose for?" |
37336 | Wha was that man wha called here yestreen?" |
37336 | Wha''s is that?" |
37336 | Whar are they?" |
37336 | What ails ye, man?" |
37336 | What am I assailed in my own house in this manner for? |
37336 | What can I do for thee?" |
37336 | What could it mean? |
37336 | What do you premeditate?" |
37336 | What do you want?" |
37336 | What does all this mean?" |
37336 | What is the meaning of all this?" |
37336 | What is the £ 10 to me when the life o''a fellow- creature is at jeopardy?" |
37336 | What kind would ye wish mine to be?" |
37336 | What reason have you?" |
37336 | What symptoms do ye feel?" |
37336 | What terrible affair is this?" |
37336 | What think ye?" |
37336 | What thoughts have you-- what wishes? |
37336 | What was to be done? |
37336 | What would you say if a_ white_ mouse, or two of them, should save the life of your wife?" |
37336 | Whaur is the difference between stealing frae me the siller o''my speech, and robbing a man o''the siller o''his jugs and teaspoons?" |
37336 | When we see unnatural motives swaying men, and all working to an event, are we not to suppose that that event shall also be out of Nature''s scheme? |
37336 | When were ye seized?" |
37336 | Where are you living?" |
37336 | Where gottest thou that enormous nose, man?" |
37336 | Where next, if he could take his eye off that beautiful countenance? |
37336 | Whither now, versatile and remorseful youth? |
37336 | Who can tell who they may be?" |
37336 | Who dared? |
37336 | Why are you here?" |
37336 | Why look ye at me as if you saw into my heart, and grin as if you were gifted with the right of revenge? |
37336 | Will no one here protect me? |
37336 | Will you give me hope if I break off this marriage?" |
37336 | Will you no help me, woman?" |
37336 | Will your Grace take me up for a thousand merks?" |
37336 | Ye wadna set that brute on a Christian cratur, wad ye?" |
37336 | Yet ever the words came from his quivering lips--"Am I fated to be the husband of Devil Isobel? |
37336 | You comprehend?" |
37336 | You do not envy me, though you look so sad? |
37336 | [ A]"Can you read me_ my_ fortune?" |
37336 | and has his lordship a better right to lie than I or Meg Davidson? |
37336 | and how d''ye do? |
37336 | and the pewter jug I drank out o''that forenoon, and my ain bed I hadna time to mak-- what for but to testify?" |
37336 | and what, if his visit to Glasgow just now should be for the express purpose of seeing this fair maiden? |
37336 | and who is to decide?" |
37336 | can it reason, can it doubt? |
37336 | can you forgive me? |
37336 | ejaculated Archie,"is that possible? |
37336 | ejaculated the writer in unfeigned amazement:"murder of whom?" |
37336 | he continued, starting and looking amazed,"what''s the matter wi''ye, man?" |
37336 | he repeated;"and did Isobel say this?" |
37336 | if thou wilt murder thy parents, hast thou no mercy for thine own flesh and blood?--wilt thou destroy thine own offspring? |
37336 | no squint, lame leg, or pock- pits?" |
37336 | replied she;"but, without asking thy father, where could I get thee a hundred pounds?" |
37336 | replied the man,"is it possible? |
37336 | roared the writer;"must I tell you again that I have given you her name and occupation? |
37336 | said Devil Isobel;"and is she not called Sweet Marjory?" |
37336 | said he,"ye look very fatigued; dow ye think ye cud eat a bit bread, if I were gi''en it to thee?" |
37336 | said he;"did you ever see me lose?--do you suppose that Ned Fen- wick is not''wide awake?'' |
37336 | said she, imploringly,"was it thus when your Eleanor spurned every offer for your sake, when you pledged to her everlasting love? |
37336 | she replied,"that puts me in mind o''a man wha met me on the road, and asked me if I was the woman wi''the twa white mice? |
37336 | stammered out the carrier confusedly;"do you think I''m ill, John?" |
37336 | tell me your name?" |
