Questions

This is a list of all the questions and their associated study carrel identifiers. One can learn a lot of the "aboutness" of a text simply by reading the questions.

51743Was Colchester, who was detected and exposed, white?
51743Was Florence Cook, the pupil of Herne( the transporter of Mrs. Guppy at sixty miles an hour) and bewitcher of Sir W. Crookes, white?
51743Was Foster white?
51743Was her friend and contemporary ghost- producer, Miss Showers, never exposed?
51743Was she ruined?
51743Well, who are they?
51743Were Bastian and Taylor white?
51743What can be said for Sir W. Crookes?
51743What chance has the ordinary inquirer, much less the eager Spiritualist, against guile of this description?
51743What chance have you in a poor light?
51743What chance have you, then, against a man or woman who has been conjuring for twenty years?
51743What earthly chance have you in the dark?

51743Why not simply_ imagine_ that the dead still live, and save the guinea?
51743Will he ask why?
44349''Look; what is the matter with him?'' 44349 ''What is the meaning of this?''
44349Are you confident that the knots are securely tied?
44349But if we are to reject this idea, which is the first which ordinary analogies would suggest, what are we to put in its place? 44349 Can he have forgotten me?"
44349Can you perform such a miracle?
44349Do you feel the table raising?
44349Do you know the medium Slade?
44349Have you prepared any slips with the names of friends, relatives, or others, who have passed into spirit life, with questions for them to answer?
44349How did you do it?
44349If a man die, shall he live again?
44349My fate?
44349What do you think of Dr. Slade''s slate tests?
44349What is his name?
44349What is the matter?
44349''You recognize that name, do you not?''
44349( You may call him a_ wizard_, what does it matter to him?)

44349B.-- When and where did you die?
44349Blavatsky, where was Mrs. Tingley?
44349But how is the writing done on the slate in the second test?
44349But how?
44349But in this test the slate was not in his possession; how then could the writing be accomplished?
44349But is this so?
44349But suppose the medium relates facts that were never in the possession of the sitter, what are we to say then?
44349But why go to science for such a demonstration?
44349Can telepathy account for C''s knowledge?
44349Can words describe it?
44349He and his wife thought a great deal of my mother, and frequently stopped me on the street to inquire,"How is Mary?"
44349He asked himself the question:"''Why was the sound of the silver bell not heard at once, but only after she had left the room and come back again?''"
44349He looks at you and calls"Mary,--how is Mary?"
44349He says:"Is this telepathic action an ordinary case of action from a center of disturbance?
44349How did you get hold of it?''
44349How is it done?
44349I replied,"but how are they done?"
44349I sat down, whereupon he seated himself opposite me, remarking as he did so,"Have you brought slates with you?"
44349If I should move my feet ever so little, you would know it, would you not?"
44349If telepathy does not enter into these cases, what does?
44349If this be so, why the attempts at_ disguise_, and bungling attempts at that?
44349Is it equally diffused in all directions?
44349Is it like the light of a candle or the light of the sun which radiates equally into space in every direction at the same time?
44349Is there any such material guide in the case of telepathy?
44349J.-- Where did you die, and from what disease?
44349Now, tell me, is it an easy task for an amateur to tie a man up off- hand with a rope three yards long, in a very secure way?
44349Sealed letters?
44349The surprising feature about the above case was the alleged spirit communication,"Mary-- how is Mary?"
44349Then how is it done?
44349To B. G.-- Can you recall any of the conversations we had together on the B. and P. R. R. cars?
44349To Len-- Tell me the cause of your death, and the circumstances surrounding it?
44349To Mamie:-- Tell me the name of your dead brother?
44349What is Theosophy?_ 237_ III.
44349When I finished it I went to her and said:''Where in the world did you get that quotation?''
44349Will you help me?
44349said C--,"is there a spirit present?"
439Raymondand"Do Thoughts Perish?"
439And what is the punishment of the undeveloped soul?
439And why?
439Are these fruits from the Devil''s tree, you timid orthodox critic?
439Are these the habiliments of heaven?"
439CHAPTER V IS IT THE SECOND DAWN?
439CONTENTS CHAPTER I THE TWO NEEDFUL READJUSTMENTS II THE DAWNING OF THE LIGHT III THE GREAT ARGUMENT IV THE COMING WORLD V IS IT THE SECOND DAWN?
439Can any reasonable system of telepathy explain how Miss Cameron discovered the intimate points characteristic of young Gaylord?
439Can any theologian give a reason for such an action?
439Can we not see, then, what was the inner reason for the war?
439Could our modern speculation, forced upon us by the facts, be more tersely stated?
439Have you passed long?
439How can this be explained?
439How can you control the statement of this medium who is consciously or unconsciously pretending to inspiration?"
439How did the Florida doctor see his friend?
439How did the hashish victim see his own unconscious body?
439How is any critic to get beyond these facts save by ignoring or misrepresenting them?
439How, we may well ask, can it see without the natural organs?
439Is it an unreasonable vision?
439Is it in any way opposed to just principles?
439Is it rather some coagulation of ether which introduces an absolutely new substance into our world?
439Is not this the very strangest and most inexplicable thing that has ever yet been observed by human eyes?
439Mr. O.: Anything more?
439Mr. O.: How did you pass?
439Mr. O.: What is it?
439Mr. O.: What were you?
439Now, what can the fair- minded inquirer say to such a story as that-- one of many, but for the moment we are concentrating upon it?
439Now, what is this second body, and how does it fit into modern religious revelation?
439The question then arises if Home concentrated all his force upon transferring such a power how long would that power last?
439Was Mr. Crookes a blasphemous liar?
439Was he honestly mistaken?
439We may well ask why should such great results arise from such petty sources?
439What are we to make of such phenomena?
439What did He do?
439What do the messages from beyond say about these?
439What has any critic to say to that?
439What weight has science of that sort?
439Which has come out of it worst, the Lutheran Prussian, the Catholic Bavarian, or the peoples who have been nurtured by the Greek Church?
439Who are you?
439Why should some have this power and some not?
439Why these particular ones?
439Why was He groaning?
439Why was this tremendous experience forced upon mankind?
36730One can only answer:''How do you define a ghost?'' 36730 One morning, about ten days after, Mr E---- called and asked me:''Do you believe that at the moment of death you may appear to one whom you love?''
36730The Duchess said:''What Earl?'' 36730 A negative reply was given and then aWhy do you ask?"
36730After I had finished seeing him we went into the drawing- room where the Duchess was, and the Duke said to me:''Oh, Cooper, how is the Earl?''
36730After we had waited a little while in vain, Mr Smith said to him:"Do you see something like a straw hat?"
36730And if this is true of man in his present state, how much more does it apply to man in another and more advanced state?
36730And supposing they, and such as they, continue incredulous-- is not incredulity a fixed quantity in any society?
36730Are not his laws wonderful?''"
36730But is this faculty restricted in its operation to a hypnotised subject?
36730But she told us in her sleep that she had been very ill in the night, and repeatedly exclaimed:''Pourquoi M. Gibert m''a- t- il fait souffrir?
36730But what other have we?
36730By what means does it obtain its special knowledge?
36730CHAPTER VII ON"HAUNTINGS"AND KINDRED PHENOMENA"Do I believe in ghosts?"
36730DO THE DEAD DEPART?
36730Do you see papa?''
36730Feeling a strange sense of fear I called out:''Who are these people coming?''
36730Has it been propounded?
36730He said:''Will you promise to quit?''
36730He then said:''Why do n''t you quit it?''
36730He was planning a congratulatory letter to a friend, when the words"What, write to a dead man?
36730I answered, looking and seeing nothing,''Who are you?''
36730I pointed to him and called out:''Who is that, please?''
36730Is it a spirit showing itself partially dissociated from the living organism; evincing independence, a certain intelligence and a certain permanence?
36730Is it two children on a raft at sea?"
36730Is not hypnotism a miracle?
36730Is not telepathy a miracle?
36730Is not the divining rod a miracle?
36730May there not be an unknown, or at least an unrecognised, extension of human muscular faculty?
36730Mr Smith asked:"What are they doing?
36730My niece, who did not see the figure, in the course of a minute or two exclaimed:''Uncle A., what is the matter with you?
36730Now, how do you account for it?"
36730On one occasion when the key was not given up the doctor called out:"Wo n''t you send us down the key before we go?"
36730Or is there yet an alternative explanation?
36730Or is this a mere image of the agent, conceived in his own brain and projected telepathically to the brain of the percipient?
36730Or, on the other hand, may not such faculty be regarded not as vestigial, but as rudimentary?
36730Such candour disarms us: can there be any ground for the theory that here was a case of self- deception on a large scale?
36730Suppose Faraday and Huxley, Spencer and Tyndall, were alive to- day, would they see reason to alter their opinions?
36730The question arises, Does it explain all so- called Spiritualistic phenomena?
36730To hypnotism must the miracle of telepathy now be added?
36730What can that be up in the air?
36730What did she die of?''
36730What is the net result of the evidence for all classes of supernormal phenomena?
36730What new evidence exists which would make the mid- Victorian scientific men reconsider their position?
36730What then is the explanation?
36730What then is the secret of the dowser''s often remarkable success?
36730What, then, is that operating intelligence?
36730Where are my own experiences?
36730Where the relation of my own personal contact with hypnotists, telepathists, mediums, mysteries?
36730Why may not the impulse pass between men and the lower animals, or between the lower animals themselves?
36730Would Sir William Ramsay or Sir James Crichton- Browne throw these manifestations into the limbo of humbug and charlatanism?
36730Would not that have been of interest?
36730Yet, is it not possible that we have laid hands upon a credible explanation of the eternal mystery of"ghosts"?
36730write to a dead man?"
36908'', I can only answer by asking,''Where is this"public opinion"and what does it look like?''
36908''And, David,( is not that your Christian name?)
36908''Well, of course, if you deceive the spirits like that how can you expect the truth in return?''
36908''What dug- out, sir?''
36908( Feda(_ sotto voce_): Did he hop, Raymond?)
36908( N. M. L. asks):''Play what?''
36908( No bite)--Georgina?
36908A delightful example of Sir Oliver''s anxiety to help the medium occurs on page 256:-- O. J. L.:''Do you remember a bird in our garden?''
36908And any voice?
36908At a London séance on December 20th, 1915, with the same medium there occurs the following:--( Question):''What used he to sing?''
36908At this she asked,''Which one?''
36908At this stage he was told,''You felt like that in France, what was it?''
36908But when I showed this spirit photograph to a friend, with a query as to sex, she answered,''But it_ is_ a woman, is n''t it?
36908Can we voluntarily forget?
36908Did you even know you were shifting it?
36908Did you think,''My leg is beginning to feel tired, I''ll shift it?''
36908Do you see Papa?"
36908Friends had told me of his gifts and had met my incredulity with''How do you explain this?''
36908He is which had reached England?
36908Here are the important ones:-- O. J. L.:''Do you recollect the photograph at all?''
36908How did the word come to be selected?
36908How did this joint error of observation arise?
36908I can not answer either except by putting a new one, which is,''Do we ever forget?''
36908I mean was he standing up?''
36908I wonder how Mr. Carrington explains the failure of previous observers to detect the trickery?
36908If by that is meant,''Can we voluntarily lose the power of voluntary recall?''
36908If one asks,''Where is this unconscious and what does it look like?
36908If we specify the factors concerned in memory and say that it depends upon impression, retention, and recall, then what do we mean by''forgetting''?
36908In the early stage of the disease some one examines the arm, pricks it, and asks,''Do you feel that?''
36908In the one place the old countryman said,"How can he get water there?
36908Instead of this the procedure was:''I hear a name, is it George?
36908Later on his chief asks him,''How did you spot this case?''
36908Next a yacht appears out of the spirit world, and O. J. L. asks:''What about the yacht with sails, did it run on the water?''
36908Not yet?
36908O. J. L.''Did it go along?''
36908O. J. L.:''Did he have a stick?''
36908O. J. L.:''Does he remember how he looked in the photograph?''
36908O. J. L.:''Was it out of doors?''
36908She was a stranger to the photographer, so how could he produce the likeness even if he substituted his own plates?
36908Surely an out- of- door family like this includes at least one fisherman; why not think out who he is and score another bull''s- eye to the medium?
36908The first question was,''Who is Brown?''
36908The question is taken by the patient to mean that the doctor expects that the prick will not be felt-- or why should he ask?
36908The second question may be compared with''Did you feel that?''
36908Then begins his conflict; like the patient who successfully feigns symptoms, he finds withdrawal difficult:--''You''d prove firmer in his place?
36908Then, the medium having discovered that O. J. L.''s family had a tent by the water, O. J. L. asks:''Is it all one chamber in the tent?''
36908What are two failures against three and a half years''manifestations that''had grown more and more numerous and bewildering as time went on''?
36908What can be more authoritative and confident than the manner of a man who believes what he says and knows that his hearers are willing to believe?
36908What could be more convincing?
36908What does it effect?
36908What has been happening all this time in the mind of the patient?
36908When Sir Oliver asks concerning a yacht,''Did it run on the water?''
36908Whence does he obtain his evidence that the medium had heard nothing of the incident?
36908While a light whisked"..."Shaped somewhat like a star?
36908Who can say that, in the days when Home- Rulers and anti- Home- Rulers abounded, the average voter was swayed by a reasoned knowledge of the subject?
36908You mean yes, do n''t you?''
36908[ Illustration] How can we explain this belief on the one hand and the trickery on the other?
61807Are there any spirits present?
61807When will it?
61807Will the spirit please to explain why it will not rap upon the table?
61807Will the spirit please to rap now?
61807Will the spirit please to rap now?
61807Will the spirit please to rap?
61807Will the spirit rap here?
61807Will the spirit_ please_ to rap upon the table?
61807Will the spirits please to tip the table?
61807A new fluid, forsooth?
61807Are these the fruits of legitimate and holy deeds?
61807Are these your consolations while at your spiritual shrines?
61807Are you not ministering encouragement to her hagship, and pursuing her very vocation, though under another name?
61807Are you, Christian man or woman, one whit better for these doings than that woman with the familiar spirits, the Witch of Endor?
61807DO SPIRITS WEAR PETTICOATS_ and long dresses_?
61807Do you think that rappings and table- tippings give respectability to witchcraft?
61807Does any one suppose that Arago ever entertained for a moment the idea of electrical action in this connection?
61807Has a spirit_ bones, muscles, fingers, heels, toes, and sticks_?
61807Has a"spirit flesh and blood?"
61807His testimony was confirmed by several others, all witnesses of the highest respectability, and what was it all worth?
61807If these pests of society are beyond the reach of earthly tribunals, will you countenance and encourage their career?
61807Is it this?
61807Is not this the inference, the inevitable conclusion?
61807Mr. F.,& c.""We think it hard to impugn such testimony, and why should not their word in this matter go as far as yours?"
61807Mr.*** propounded as follows: Will the spirit inform us of the spirit the gentleman is thinking of?
61807One of my scientific friends then asked if they would not rap if they were suspended in a swing, or stood upon a pillow?
61807Or were they far away on some errand of duty, or busy and monopolized for some_ special tippings_ elsewhere?
61807Ought we not to infer that the paper and the ruler were pushed by the hand, since the hands followed them in their motion?
61807Perhaps her mother saw this, for she rose from her seat and said,"You are not tricking, now?"
61807Pointing to a name with a pencil, he asked, Is it this?
61807Shall eternity be made subordinate to time; the immortal to the mortal?
61807Shall it be said then that the Almighty is capable of trifling?
61807Shall we be met here with the assertion that there are religious maniacs, that religious excitement makes madmen, and leads to deeds of violence?
61807Spirits, do you say?
61807Spirits, rapping upon doors, floors, and tables, upsetting tables and swinging them about the room?
61807The rappers were then sitting some distance from the table, and we asked if the"Spirits would rap upon the table?"
61807Were the spirits present, and not disposed to gratify a certain class of_ dilettanti_ who were present?
61807Were they jesting and teazing, or in bad humor with our persons, our fixtures, or our espionage?
61807What could have been the cause of this abortive conjuration?
61807Will it inform us correctly?
61807Without claiming any depth in biblical lore, we ask them where is the authority for any such conclusion in the Bible?
61807[ 1] Are you not rather her disciple?
61807_ A new power?_ It is a lawful subject of pursuit, to the very exhaustion of mental resources.
61807_ A new power?_ It would frustrate his schemes in their very inception.
61807a nervous force that acts exterior to, and independent of, its own tenement and rightful fulcrum?
61807and is she not held up to you for an example and a warning?
61807and what is all other testimony worth upon this_ aerial vaulting_ of tables?
61807or that it should be the great reservoir of electricity, magnetism,"_ new fluid_,""_ od_,"or what not?
61807that propels masses heavier than the_ body corporate_, without rending the latter in twain?
36512_ Mrs. Veal had been, subject to fits, and she asks if Mrs. Bargrave does not think she ismightily impaired by her fits?"
36512And I would also take the liberty to suggest that he should ask the ghost these questions:--"Who''s your tailor?"
36512And also, if a_ goose_ would be frightened if it saw a ghost?
36512And further-- If the Government were applied to, would they"lend the loan"of a proper and fitting building to exhibit the various works in?
36512And out of whose"atmosphere,"or"life sphere"had the spirit made this hand?
36512And then if the ghost of a chimney- sweep were to appear-- and why not the spirit of a sweep as well as anybody else?
36512And then was this spirit_ dressed_ in his best?
36512Are, or can these things be_ spiritual_?
36512Can the believers in ghosts tell us that?
36512Can this be a law or regulation amongst the ghosts?
36512For instance, when Marcellus says to Horatio,"Is it not like the king?"
36512Had they to return to purgatory by themselves-- had the heavy white walking- stick to walk off without its owner?
36512If not, where did they go to?
36512If the cloth is made out of stuff"_ permeated by our wills_"-- And further, if these ghosts are honest, and pay their tailors''bills?
36512Mr. Owen here asks if the mastiff was cataleptic also?
36512Now it will be as well here to inquire what good has ever resulted from this belief in what is commonly understood to be a ghost?
36512Now one naturally asks here, why did not this old ghost go and point the place out to his son himself?
36512One day at dinner he stood up, and said to those present,"Do n''t you see I''m going?"
36512Query, If a horse is not frightened at a ghost, why should dogs be frightened at the sight of them?
36512Query, What did the ghost come for, and was the second husband at all jealous of his coming?
36512Query: How did Mr. H. know that this hand_ was so cold_?
36512Suppose it was a_ spirit hand_, the hand of a soul that once did live on earth, could it be the_ spirit_ of a_ glove_?
36512Then comes my_ clothes test_ again, where did the_ hand_ get the_ glove_?
36512There now, there''s a secret for you-- what do you think of that?
36512Well, some people will say that some little_ comfort_ was needed after so much_ dis_comfort and suffering-- but_ why_, all this suffering?
36512Yes, why should a_ dog_, especially if he is a_ spirited_ dog, do so?
36512[ 6] I should like to ask a question here-- Is Home by spirits lifted, or by"atmosphere?"
36512and had it put the glove on because it felt itself so cold?
36512and how is it that the same spirit can appear in_ several places_ at_ the same instant_?
36512and if CLOTHED, of what those CLOTHES WERE MADE?
36512and what A PAIR OF TOP- BOOTS are made of?
36512and whether these materials are_ spiritualized_ by any process, or whether THE CLOTHES WE WEAR ON OUR BODIES BECOME A PART AND PARCEL OF OUR SOULS?
36512and"Who''s your hatter?"
36512and, further, whether the mutilation of the_ body_ can in any way affect the_ spirit_--the_ soul_?
36512in turning their lights in the direction from which the sounds came, and advancing carefully, they discovered-- what do you think?
36512oh dear!-- Are made in any kind of mould, Or how they trick''em out of our"life sphere?"
36009In this connection did you ever think why it is that the devil is continually seeking the moral overthrow and eternal ruin of the human family? 36009 It is often asked in your intercourse with the world of spirits: What are the employments of spirits?
36009What is the true theory of good and evil? 36009 ''Does the description fit her?'' 36009 ''Indianapolis?'' 36009 ''Is it Jeffersonville?'' 36009 ''New Albany?'' 36009 ''What was the cause of his death?'' 36009 ''Where does your mother live?'' 36009 ''Why, did you know Mary when she was living?'' 36009 Among them these: Do the people on Mars sleep? 36009 An early writer said:''If you can not love him whom you have seen, how can you love them whom you have not seen and be beloved in return?'' 36009 And do morals count for naught in the scale of being? 36009 And now others are earnestly talked of and advocated; and does this not teach you the plain lesson that your system is still imperfect? 36009 And the fathers and mothers who educated us, that directed and comforted us, where are they but just beyond the line of the invisible? 36009 And why? 36009 By whom settled, how and when? 36009 Can he gather and control the winds and the seasons as they come and go with all their powerful influences on the globe? 36009 Can it be rationally maintained that truth and justice require a discrimination to be made adverse to the female? 36009 Do you not know that the ox and the horse, for precisely the same reason, can largely discount you? 36009 Do you not perceive the sublimity of this condition? 36009 Does God do any thing without an allwise and beneficent purpose? 36009 Does it belong to and is it a reflex of your boasted Christian civilization? 36009 Does not this plain statement present a dangerous contingency and indicate a palpable weakness? 36009 Does this terrible history, so replete with evil, offer us evidences of Godlike excellence? 36009 From whence do you get this doctrine? 36009 If not, are these of no moment compared with mere physical brute force? 36009 If redface mighty and paleface weak, how then you like it? 36009 If so, how often and how much? 36009 If so, there must be ample reasons for it, and what are they? 36009 If so, when did this divinely appointed consummation take place? 36009 In what pertains to the finer sensibilities and spiritual pureties is woman inferior? 36009 Is hope gone? 36009 Is it not grand to be able to understand, and even more, to appreciate, this knowledge? 36009 Is it possible for Him to do a silly, foolish thing? 36009 Is it true that no adequate protection can be afforded except by judicial murder? 36009 Is man superior to woman morally? 36009 Is the claim true? 36009 Is there any thing to alarm us in this thought? 36009 Is this true? 36009 It is pertinent to inquire, What are the employments of the people of Mars still embodied? 36009 July 27, 1882:Why seriously discuss questions that are fast fading out of sight?
36009My husband inquired,''Where is the fire at?''
36009Oh, why does man mourn over a law that was ordained for the benefit of all mankind?
36009The Mosaic law demanded an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but is this the doctrine of Jesus, the assumed founder of Christianity?
36009The question necessarily arises, why is this so?
36009The questions were then asked:''Is it Louisville?''
36009They have passed from us, but where are they?
36009Was it made before or after man was made?
36009Was it made for man or man for it?
36009What are the duties of the citizen to the government, or what the government has the right to exact of and from the citizen?
36009What are the duties of the government to the people, or what the people have the right to exact of and from their government?
36009What can finite man do to control the Infinite?
36009What does this mean?''
36009What generation can gather it and hold it in their embrace?
36009What grand purpose, good and wise, can be accomplished by ending the existence of a planet that has as yet scarcely begun to live?
36009What is the argument in its favor?
36009When in the act of taking his departure, he suddenly turned around, and plaintively inquired:''Has Jim got any thing against me?
36009Whence did they come?
36009Where is it situate; who go there and why do they go there, and for what purpose?
36009Whither had it gone?
36009Why can not your statesmen be as patriotic and as true to the public?
36009Why destroy this fair earth, daily and hourly becoming still fairer?
36009Why is it that you require repose in sleep?
36009Why tears fall when he stands where the form of some loved one is laid?
36009Will it be maintained that the Lord would create any thing without a use and wise purpose?
36009Yes, man still asks, with prayerful heart, what are his wants to be in the future?
36009You need not grieve for earthly friendship; those ties have soon to be broken, but have your thoughts on spirit life and friends?
36009_ First._ What is needed to be done?
36009_ Second._ How shall it be done?
36009and if so, pray tell wherein?
36009and whence were their germinating and generating powers obtained?
36009and why does he die?
36009and why was he born?
36009what are they about?
36009what do they do?
33506And about the manifestations at Hydesville in 1848 and the finding of bones in the cellar and so on?
33506It is all a trick?
33506Mrs. Jencken, are you willing to join with your sister in exposing the true modus operandi of Spiritualism?
33506Then you will not deny that what she has said of Spiritualism is true?
33506What can I add to the revelations of those letters? 33506 Why do n''t you come squarely out, then, with the truth, and make the public your friends?
33506Will you greatly oblige me with an answer? 33506 You want to know what are the points of my coming exposà ©?
33506''Is the person living that injured you?''
33506*** Oh, Maggie, are you never tired of_ this weary, weary sameness of continual deceit_?
33506And if it could not, does not this pretended"evidence"fall at once to the ground?
33506Are the sounds produced in your room when you have no shoes on?
33506Are there seven members of the Committee present?
33506Are they all seated around one table?
33506Are they seated at two tables?
33506Are those the shoes which you usually wear?
33506Are we likely to have any demonstration?''
33506Are you able to communicate with him now?
33506Are you ever conscious of any vibration in your bones?
33506As if the''Spirits''might or might not communicate?
33506But can he not do it by trickery?
33506But do you feel now, to- night, any untoward influence operating against you?
33506By-- what?
33506Could anything be more blasphemous, more disgusting, more thinly deceptive than that?
33506Could one man''s hand cover them all?
33506Do these raps always have that vibratory sound-- tr- rut-- tr- rut-- tr- rut?
33506Do you know a man named Kellar, who is exhibiting in this city?
33506Do you know that there is something behind the shadowy mask of Spiritualism that the public can hardly guess at?
33506Do you not think so?
33506Do you suppose that the present conditions are such that you can throw the raps to a part of the room other than that in which you are?
33506He says further:"The inquiry was then addressed to Mr. Slade: Do you know a man named Guernilla, who, with his wife, gave sà © ances?
33506How did Mr. Kellar do that?
33506How does your hand feel when affected in that way?
33506How in the world shall we test that?
33506How many feet, pray you?
33506I asked:''Is it a spirit?
33506I asked:''Were you injured in this house?''
33506I have told my sister Leah over and again:''Now that you are rich, why do n''t you save your soul?''
33506I presume then, that it is Henry Seybert?
33506I said,''Flat Foot, can you dance the Highland fling?''
33506I then asked:''Is this a human being that answers my questions so correctly?''
33506Is Mr. Seybert present?
33506Is Mr. Seybert still present?
33506Is any spirit present now?
33506Is any spirit present whom I know, or who knows me?
33506Is it Henry Seybert?
33506Is the spirit the same that was present last night?
33506Isolating you from the table?
33506It was but natural:"Since you now despise Spiritualism, how was it that you were engaged in it so long?"
33506Margaret Fox, the mother, used to say to her husband:"Now, John, do n''t you see that it''s a wonderful thing?"
33506Not now?
33506Now Mr. Seybert, can not you produce some raps?
33506Now, Mr. Seybert, if your''spirit''is here, will you have the kindness-- I knew Mr. Seybert well in life-- to rap?
33506Now, Spirits, will you rap on the floor?
33506She says she will lecture, does she?
33506She used to say when we were sitting in a dark circle at home:''Is this a disembodied spirit that has taken possession of my dear children?''
33506Spirits, is he not easily fooled?"
33506The freer the raps come, the better for you?
33506The glasses are not placed over the marble, are they?
33506The"spirits"answered:"What do you think we require you to sit close to the table for?"
33506Then it was not the regular triple rap?
33506This shocked mother and she said:''O, Leah, how can you encourage that fiend by singing for him to dance?''
33506Thus the doctor wrote to Maggie in New York:"Is the old house dreary to you?
33506Under what conditions can you influence them?
33506Was there an answer to that?
33506Well, how does he perform his wonderful exploits in''rappings,''etc.?
33506Wells?"
33506Were any of you gentlemen acquainted with Mr. Seybert in his lifetime?
33506What are the rules?
33506What are they to my wishes?
33506What can they indicate in a spiritual way, except that the soul of man is descending to a lower point that it has ever reached while incarnate?
33506What did we know?
33506What will become of you?
33506What would you do?
33506Who am I?
33506Who can doubt this who knows human nature?
33506Will the Spirit rap here?
33506Will the''Spirit''rap again?
33506Will you communicate with him before Mr. Pepper leaves to- night?
33506Will you give me a piece of paper?
33506Will you rap on the floor?
33506Will you repeat the raps we heard just now, assuming that there were some?
33506Will you repeat your taps to indicate that you are present yet?
33506You asked that question, I think?
33506You say that in the generality of cases they are beyond your control?
43346''How?'' 43346 But how,"said I,"when morning comes, shall I know that your appearance to me has been real, and not the mere representation of my own imagination?"
43346For Heaven''s sake,I exclaimed,"Lord Tyrone, by what means or for what reason came you hither at this time of night?"
43346Have you then forgotten our promise?
43346I may, then, infer that you are happy?
43346May I not ask,said I,"if you are happy?"
43346This gentleman then adjured the spirit in a variety of forms, and asked if it was not a bad spirit? 43346 What is the matter?"
43346Will not the news of my death be sufficient to convince you?
43346''Do you believe,''said I,''that Christ died to save us from sin?''
43346''Do you expect letters?''
43346''In God''s Name, what do you want, or what can I do for you?''
43346''In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,''said I,''are you the spirit of my child?''
43346''In what shape shall it be?''
43346''Well,''said a clergyman, one of the three,''I wonder, after all, if there is any future state or not?''
43346--"What of the Dead?
4334633?''
4334635.--''While your body was lying in the coffin, was anything put in the hand?
4334636.--''What was it?''
4334637.--''By whom was it put there?''
4334638.--''Who else were present at the time?''
43346:--''Where was your body buried?''
43346:--''Will you spell the name of the place where we lived when you left this state?''
43346And tell me, most potent seigniors, what is the origin of these forces?
43346And with whom resides the impulse of their action and the guidance of their control?
43346Are you a bad spirit?
43346Are you happy?
43346But still, a thoughtful mind will venture to demand whence did these atoms derive their existence?
43346By fire?
43346Can we do you any good?
43346Days?
43346Did they make them feel them?
43346Did they see them?
43346Did you know any at this table?
43346Did you live in this neighbourhood?
43346Do you mean five days?
43346Dr. Edmunds:"How were the names spelled out?"
43346Has the spirit of my child_ ever_ been put in communication with myself or her mother through this or any other table?''
43346Have you been dead years?
43346He inquired further, whether there was any of their old acquaintance in that place where he was?
43346He then asked her if she had hurt her wrist:''Have you sprained it?''
43346How could any one be afraid of me?
43346How did they know they were there?
43346How long have you been dead?
43346How many?
43346I asked,''Are you my child?''
43346I exclaimed,"and can not I prevent this?"
43346I had offered a glass of wine and water to my wife, when, on putting it to her lips, she paused and exclaimed,''Good God, what is that?''
43346I then said,''Are you from God?''
43346I then said,''In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I command you to answer-- are you from God?''
43346In how many years?
43346In the reign of her successor?
43346Is he alive or dead?
43346Is it displeasing to God?
43346Is it the woman''s spirit, or the man''s, who haunts the house?
43346Is it what the Bible calls"divination"to consult you in this way?
43346Is it wrong?
43346Is there a middle state of souls?
43346It was followed by another:--''What was the name of the person whose spirit is here?''
43346Months?
43346Shall any of us see the Last Day?
43346Similar strange phenomena occurred on this occasion likewise:--"Are you a Spirit who inhabited this earth?
43346The end of wickedness?
43346Then how did the spirits make themselves known-- by what means?
43346Was the Baptist religion true?
43346Was the man hung?
43346Was the murder found out while he lived?
43346Weeks?
43346Were you ever there?
43346What frightened them?
43346What killed the two people in the haunted room?
43346What kind of spirits?
43346What was the name of the woman?
43346Who could it have been?''
43346Who murdered her?
43346Who was murdered, a man or a woman?
43346Why do those spirits haunt that house?
43346Will Enoch and Elijah come again?
43346Will Russia conquer England?
43346Will it be in the reign of Queen Victoria?
43346Will it be partly destroyed by fire?
43346Will it be the end of the World or the end of wickedness?
43346Will that be the Millennium?
43346Will the Jews be restored?
43346Will the Last Judgment be then?
43346Will the World be destroyed by water?
43346Will the end of the World be soon?
43346Will you point them out?
43346Will you spell the true religion?
43346Will you spell your name?
43346and from what, and from whom, do they inherit the propensities wherewithal they are imbued?
43346he exclaimed at length,''am I awake or asleep, in my senses or gone mad?''
43346my dear uncle, how could the spirit of a living man appear?''
43346or''Where were_ you_ buried?''
43346repeated Sherbroke,''what can you mean?
43346said Miss Wright,''did he come after I went to bed?''
43346said Sir Martin,''that you are so anxious for the arrival of the post?''
43237Did not you say that there was somebody down stairs that would be glad to see me?
43237Did you build the pyramids?
43237Do you know how long the first was built before Christ?
43237Do you mean that it was built before the flood?
43237How long have you been there?
43237How will he do for provisions?
43237I demand of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, our once crucified God, whether you are mortal or immortal?
43237Is it not remarkable,says he,"that no record of them appears till_ quite recently_?"
43237Mother,said the child,"will the devil forgive me if I neglect my prayers?"
43237The leech,they say,"can cure those disorders; but who is capable of curing the evil eye?"
43237Well,she replied, with great pertness,"is not Mrs. Mather always glad to see you?"
43237Were there kings of Egypt so soon after the creation?
43237Were you drowned in the Red Sea?
43237Were you king of Egypt when Moses was there?
43237What latitude does he lie in chiefly?
43237What shall we say,says the late Professor Stuart,"of the excessive use that has been made of the passages that speak of his influence and dominion?
43237What was the principal object of them?
43237Where did you dwell till then?
43237Where do you dwell now?
43237Why?
43237Will he be home next summer?
43237Will he find the passage?
43237_ Some._"Were any built before your time?
43237''Can I do you any good?''
43237''Does John Thompson live in Vermont?''
43237''Does he live in Massachusetts?''
43237''How?''
43237''Is John Thompson dead?''
43237''The sick man is bewitched: who has bewitched him?
43237''_ Put it to my mouth._''I asked,''Where is your mouth?''
43237And I have seen a copy or two of a certain''Journal,''ostensibly advocating the great truths(?)
43237And how are we to account for the Millerites and others being so raised, as they believed?
43237And how can we free ourselves from this thraldom?
43237And how shall the other 30 years be found?
43237And how shall this great object be accomplished?
43237And what now shall be done?
43237And why so?
43237And yet, who were ever more influenced by a belief in signs, omens, spectres, and witches?
43237Are not these cases to be relied upon as much as those related by Mr. Sunderland?
43237Are they not as much to be credited as those who profess a belief in the miracles of the"harmonial philosophers"?
43237But how does the dog obtain this foreknowledge?
43237But what are the facts?
43237But what are the facts?
43237But, pray, what is the"medium,"in these manifestations, but_ a visible human operator_?
43237Can a man be without the law, and yet, touching the law, be blameless?
43237Could not_ four_ respectable ladies tell whether they were_ actually_ carried through the air on a pole or_ not_?
43237Do facts go to show that more disasters occur on this day than on any other?
43237Does God part with the reins of his government, and employ wicked spirits to torment his creatures on this day?
43237Does he make this day more unpropitious to human affairs than others?
43237For a long time, answers could be obtained by any_ two_( why_ two_?)
43237For who were ever better educated than the ancient Greeks and Romans?
43237Have spirits any navels?
43237His death( if he chance to die) has been brought about by evil spirits: who has sent the spirits upon him?''
43237How can that be?
43237How shall the 75 years be made up to bring the end of the world to 1843?
43237I asked it,''Are you unhappy?''
43237I have honored my father and mother; I never stole; what need he to steal who has so good an estate?
43237If you say the animal is sent by God, how will you explain the fact that the sign so often fails?
43237Is the Virgin Mary the mother of God?
43237It must be gotten somehow, for who will believe it as it now stands?
43237Now, does this look as though the answer came from spirits?
43237Now, who could prove that the thing alleged was not_ actually_ done?
43237Now, who has ever been up in the moon to ascertain whether it is so or not?
43237Or, in other words, how shall we best lend a helping hand to hasten the downfall of ignorance, error, and sin?
43237Seeing the evils of popular superstitions, what course shall we adopt for their banishment?
43237Shall we not gather from this, that in the spirit world they have their bands of music and companies of artillery, the same as in this world?
43237She then said,"Will you tell the age of Cathy?"
43237Some one in the company asked,''Is John Thompson alive?''
43237Some will ask the question,"If these things be true, why have we not heard of them before?"
43237The following dialogue then ensued between Mrs. Cooper, her adopted sister, and the young lady:--"''Will you sit close to the table, miss?''
43237The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to- day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play?
43237Then why should we account Friday to be an unlucky day?
43237These sounds were so unusual, that Miss Margaretta Fox, who was present, became alarmed, and said,"What does all this mean?"
43237Treatise after treatise was composed on such subjects as the following: How many angels can stand on the point of a needle?
43237Well, what of that?
43237Were such miracles ever wrought in favor of Millerism?
43237What are his enemy''s fires and incantations to him?
43237What gave that delusion so much success?
43237Whence came such an opinion?
43237Who can say it is not so?
43237Who can wonder that they rise in the morning with wearied limbs, languid and listless, with a furred tongue, parched mouth, and headache?
43237Who sends him on this solemn errand?
43237Why did he not begin the reckoning from the date of the vision itself?
43237Why not as well apply your plaster to a tree as to a pitchfork?
43237Why not as well drink the heart of a lamb as a woman?
43237Why not as well have the touch of a slave as a king?
43237Why should not all mediums be alike?
43237Why was it not then witnessed simultaneously in all parts of the earth?
43237Why?
43237_ Could_ they be deceived?
43237_ Ques._"By whom were you murdered?"
43237_ Ques._"What, then, are you?"
43237_ Ques._"Where does your body lie?"
43237and yet who will_ believe_ that it was?
39718A shark?
39718Ah, yes, how did they know?
39718At the time?
39718But how could they know New Zealand was there?
39718Can you tell me anything of the action?
39718Do you believe it is true?
39718Had they compasses?
39718Have you noticed a tree covered in spider webs during a fog? 39718 Have you seen the devil?"
39718Supernatural?
39718Tell us, friend, did you find it on the other side as you had preached?
39718The Maoris had a fair wind then?
39718Well, did you perceive resemblance?
39718Well, did you, for example, see Christ?
39718What bird is it?
39718What do you mean?
39718What have we to do,they say,"with these old historical quarrels which are hardly intelligible to us?
39718What is this ribald nonsense?
39718What''s psychic? 39718 Where did it come from?"
39718Who are you, friend?
39718Why not?
39718You mean fairies and things?
39718You''re sure it was Sir Oliver?
39718''Who''s that?''
39718Above all, how did the birds get into the carefully- guarded seance room, especially as Bailey was put in a bag during the proceedings?
39718After all, how much education had the apostles?
39718After all, if enemies are given full play, why should not friends redress the balance?
39718Among other remarkable advertisements was one"What has become of''Pelorus Jack''?
39718And the others?
39718Are they not the pools left behind by that terrible tide?
39718But after all, what''s the odds?
39718But how can anyone win through?
39718But what has a materialist to say to the whole story?
39718But what have Spiritualists had in the main save misrepresentation and persecution?
39718But what of Silesia and of Poland now?
39718But why should I abandon one faith in order to embrace another one?
39718Can a man with a moderate capital get a share of these good things?
39718Can any prophecy be more accurate or better authenticated than that?
39718Can such phrases really mean anything to any thoughtful man?
39718Can they not see that if they grant us one- tenth, they grant us our whole contention?
39718Do they think what they are saying, or does Faith atrophy some part of the brain?
39718Does anyone import Indian nests?
39718Does anyone import queer little tortoises with long, thin necks?
39718Granting that they are Jewish forgeries, how do they get into the country?
39718Had Germany obeyed the moral law would she not now be great and flourishing, instead of the ruin which we see?
39718Has France ever had the credit she deserves for the splendid faith with which she followed that great beneficent genius Lesseps in his wonderful work?
39718Have you ever seen Olver Lodge, sir?"
39718He answered,"Was it not in''_ Light_''office in London?"
39718His words to the sick woman,"Who has touched me?
39718How can a man fail to be earnest then?
39718How can the bulk of the people ever get into touch with a good medium if they are debarred from doing so in the ordinary way of business?
39718How can they hope with their feeble hands to clear the ground?
39718How could the motor- car or the aeroplane have been developed if hundreds had not been ready to give their lives to pay the price?
39718How long has the Aryan race to run?
39718How many cases are on record of the strange changes and wild deeds of individuals?
39718How many of us have, for example, seen the rings of Saturn?
39718How then can any church progress when all its leaders are over that age?
39718I ask again: What is this ribald nonsense?"
39718I have seen three pictures of his,"The Goths,""Who Comes?"
39718I suppose that on such a voyage one should rest and do nothing, but how difficult it is to do nothing, and can it be restful to do what is difficult?
39718I wonder from what heights that old fellow had fallen before he brought up against the public house wall?
39718If He be with us, who is against us?
39718If here and there one had a new idea, how could it survive the pressure of the others?
39718If not, why continue them?
39718If so, what is your charges?
39718If the whole transaction is normal, then where does he get them?
39718If these articles can be got in any normal way, then what is the way?
39718If they are not genuine, where do they come from?
39718Is it possible that under some conditions a mineral may change into a metal?
39718Is not valour the basis of all character, and where shall we find greater valour than theirs?
39718Is there a depot for Turkish copper coins in Australia?
39718Is there at the present moment one single bishop, or one head of a Free Church, who has the first idea of psychic truth?
39718Is there such evidence?
39718The man dies, and then where are these experiments?
39718Then what about 100 Babylonian tablets, with legible inscriptions in Assyrian, some of them cylindrical, with long histories upon them?
39718Then why were they playing tricks upon themselves?
39718Was colonisation to be abandoned, or were these brave savages to be overcome?
39718Was ever such an object lesson in sin and its consequence placed before the world?
39718Was he a lost soul?"
39718Was it fraud?
39718Was it not spirituality?
39718Well, who knows?
39718What are these among so many?
39718What are we to make of such a mixture?
39718What are we to say to that?
39718What did Hippocrates mean when he said,"The affections suffered by the body the soul sees with shut eyes?"
39718What direct proof have we of most of the great facts of Science?
39718What is he up to now?"
39718What is it?"
39718What right had such a man to die, he who had more vim and passion, and knowledge of varied life than the very best of us?
39718What view will the coming Labour governments of Britain take of our Imperial commitments?
39718What was wanting in you to bring you to such a pass?
39718What would not Galileo and all the old untravelled astronomers have given to have one glimpse of this wondrous Southern display?
39718When they speared the cattle of the settlers what were the settlers to do?
39718Where''s that little boy?"
39718Which is better-- that a race be free, immoral and incompetent, or that it be forced into morality and prosperity?
39718Who else could have drawn such fine detail and yet so broad and philosophic a picture?
39718Who loses except themselves?
39718Why do I not see it all the time?
39718Why should anyone invent such a thing, putting an actual name to the person?
39718Why should quartz always be the matrix?
39718Would a hundred million pounds cover the cost of that one?
21041''A witness of what?'' 21041 ''All that you have told me is very sad and strange,''I said,''but now, will you allow me to ask you why you have appeared to me?
21041''And that of the lady opposite, my cousin, Lucretia Carbury?'' 21041 ''Have you anything more to ask?''
21041''Who was the man?'' 21041 ''Why do you come to me?''
21041And curly and long?
21041And what can I do about any young man?
21041As soon as I was sure of this, I said:''You are Captain Richard Carbury?'' 21041 But ca n''t you account for it at all?"
21041But what can_ I_ do in the matter, even if it be as you say?
21041But what happened_ afterwards_--after I left Warwickshire, I mean?
21041But you will join us on Wednesday at the meeting, I trust? 21041 Could you describe the man at all?"
21041Did Frank never write?
21041Did you want to know about anyone who lived here long ago?
21041Did your brother Frank ever tell you of a letter he received from me in Oxford?
21041Do n''t you remember my asking you if you had noticed anything curious, or heard or seen anything, during your visit? 21041 Do n''t you see that girl over there?"
21041Do you know any William? 21041 Finish the text?
21041Has anyone died here lately?
21041How do you do, Jem?
21041How long ago?
21041I replied that I should gladly hear what he had to tell, but would he allow me to ask him one question? 21041 In what city?"
21041Is any writing really coming?
21041Is it that you are not happy?
21041Is she mad?
21041Miss Bates, I see? 21041 Oh yes; was n''t he just exasperating?"
21041Really, dear? 21041 Shall I be able to hear?
21041Shall I be able to write automatically?
21041Still, I could put it with the others, and let it go to Warwick, and then tell the man not to do anything with it-- but what would Edward say? 21041 Then you have not had bad news?"
21041What young man?
21041Which room he slept in? 21041 Who could foretell when he might have another chance?"
21041Why not say''_ I_''and have done with it?
21041Will she give a name?
21041Will that lady kindly sit down? 21041 Yes, of course, we know all that, you and I, but what is the use of making this fuss about it?
21041_ Bien, Madame, qu''est- ce- que je vous ai dit?_demanded the Abbà ©, turning to me in triumph.
21041_ Boston._"Was it in a private house, a hospital, a hotel, or_ where_ did you die?
21041_ What business is it of yours?_was the constant reply to my questions.
21041''Can I be of use to you?
21041''Can not you speak?''
21041''Is anything the matter?''
21041''You are not frightened of me?''
21041-- Trumpington Street?"
21041After wishing very fervently one night, Sister Margaret appeared dressed in mob cap and gown, saying:"Do n''t you see my dress?
21041Again I ask: How about the"_ Cui Bono_"argument?
21041Again I ask: How about the"_ Cui Bono_"argument?
21041Are you at the same point of view?
21041Are you not thinking of Mr Loseby?"
21041Are you quite sure you mean Henry Halifax?
21041Are you willing?''
21041As I remained silent she whispered:"Do n''t you know me?"
21041At last, about three months ago, he turned round suddenly, and said:"''When are you going to send those pictures to be cleaned?''
21041B.--"Who do you mean by''_ them_''?"
21041B.--Is there any help here for my constant problem: Why should one''s individual life be only_ now_ evolving in Eternity?
21041B.--Why is Imperator so slow in throwing off his own spiritual limitations?
21041But nothing more could be got out of him, so I dismissed him impatiently, saying:"What is the good of telling me such nonsense?
21041But then again, how could I_ see_ her, since the room was quite dark?
21041But what of it?
21041Can you_ imagine_ his allowing the picture to be taken down upon this evidence?"
21041Charlie Bates?
21041Could Mr Kitchener or any other person present have had to do with the matter?
21041Could it have creaked itself farther open?
21041Could she find out what was the cause?
21041Did this moment of intense desire for her, project itself into the appearance she saw in her room?
21041Disappointed by this, I asked;"Can you not speak to us?"
21041Do n''t you understand what I am saying?
21041Do you see Truth in this idea, and can you tell me if it extends also to Space?
21041Do you see what I mean?
21041Do you suppose the master would have done such a thing?"
21041H. D.--You want me to tell you just my position about the Imperator group before and since I passed to this side?
21041Have you had any curious experiences since I saw you last?"
21041He says:"Why do people in the earth life quote our words as if we were Delphic Oracles?"
21041He thought for a moment, then said:''Chomley?
21041His next remark was:"_ What does it matter what_ YOU_ think or what you mean to do or not to do?
21041His reply was as follows:-- Time is really a form of perception,_ not a thing in itself_--do you understand?
21041How could the hinges have creaked then, and whose cautious footsteps had I heard?
21041How could we gain the real education of life were it otherwise?
21041I can not talk, but I can listen; or do you think possibly you could get a little writing for me?
21041I have been frequently asked:"Should you have recognised her as your friend had no name been given?"
21041I whispered to my friend:"Shall I ask him?"
21041If they do come they wo n''t stay-- why should they?
21041In addition to this, the Hindoostanees consider( and who shall say without ample cause?)
21041Is it not apparent, therefore, that there has been wisdom and goodness in our very theological mistakes and illusions?
21041Is it strange that the same rule should apply to the universe that applies to the tiny portion of it that we know?
21041Is it then permitted to mortals to have personal intercourse with spirits?''
21041Is that correct?"
21041Is there any restitution to be made, or justice to be administered?
21041Is there anything you want done on earth that I can do?
21041Life is just the same on the outer; but on the_ inner?_ Well, I can not describe it!"
21041Miss Boyle told me you wrote automatically sometimes?"
21041My last question was:"What was your age when you passed over?"
21041My next question naturally was:"Then shall I be able to_ see_ very soon?"
21041On arrival there Miss Rowan Vincent said to me very kindly:"Can I do anything for_ you_ now, Miss Bates?
21041Shall I become clair- audient?"
21041Shall I try if I can see anything for you?"
21041Shall you be afraid?''
21041She is still alive, however, and is to be taken to the hospital at one P.M.""But what has happened, Küntze?"
21041She looked incredulous, and then said cheerfully:"Well, if it is as bad as that, do n''t you think you ought to go and see how she is?"
21041Someone_ did_ come to my bedside last night, and said:''I am Gifford-- will you listen to me?''
21041Something induced me, quite against my will, to say:"Do you ever get messages by writing, Miss Vincent?"
21041Suddenly she looked up, and said:"_ Ã � propos des bottes._""How about that young man, ma''am?
21041Surely we are one large family, whether here or there?
21041Surely you must feel how much you have gained since you faced your own facts?
21041The father guessed the letter from the child''s description, and asked me if the first one were correct?
21041The impression was so vivid that I called out instinctively:"What is it, Mabel?
21041The matter did not specially interest me; but on arrival at Rangoon, the only decent(?)
21041The old lady(?)
21041Then I asked:"In what country did you pass away-- Europe or America, or elsewhere?"
21041Then swiftly came the second idea:"And how in the world does it happen that I do n''t feel a bit frightened?"
21041Then turning round carelessly, she remarked:"I suppose_ you_ have not seen or heard anything, Miss Bates, since you came?
21041Thinking I would verify Miss Whiting''s story if possible, my first question was:"Can Stead''s Julia give me her surname?"
21041This message gave me a hard problem to solve:"What should I do with it?"
21041Was it a seducing spirit or a friendly intelligence who reminded me that my opponent had only quoted half the text--_the half that suited him_?
21041Was it another case of mental affinity which had induced him unconsciously to choose a gold brooch with two swallows in gold and pearls?
21041What are you going to do about him?"
21041What can I do for you?"
21041What could he be doing or_ waiting for_?
21041What do you mean?"
21041What horrors, to justify such awful shrieks, could be taking place at this quiet hour and in this quiet, respectable hotel?
21041What more can any of us say?
21041What_ should_ I do?"
21041When I suggested that the judgment was at least very flattering to the Burmese, this Burmese gentleman laughed, and said:"Flattering?
21041When people say to me:"How can a sensible woman like yourself be so foolish as to think such things?"
21041When the doctor arrived, his first question was:"Have you had any special shock lately?
21041Where did it go to?
21041Where did_ you_ know him?''
21041Which of us has not groaned under these self- conscious euphemisms?
21041Who can say?
21041Why did he appear with flesh like a living man?
21041Why not ask the UNSEEN themselves for a decision in the matter?
21041Why, indeed?
21041You have noticed my portrait in the gallery?''
21041You never saw it again?
21041_ Where was the man?_ The door had not closed again, so far as I could hear.
21041so interested in everything-- a_ clergyman_, my dear Miss Bates, and so_ good!_ How could there be anything painful connected with his death?"
21041you remember my telling you about her the other day, and how her manager had run away with all that money?
42318And what,we inquired,"is this something that you have attained?"
42318Do you know who will be the next U.   S. Senator from this State?
42318In the hall of thieves,said the lady;"what on earth can be the meaning of that?
42318Of what must I take care?
42318What were they eating and drinking?
42318When did I hurt thee?
42318Where did she_ formerly_ live?
42318Where?
42318Will you try that over again?
42318''But how does friction produce heat in this case?''
42318''But it flows from the Gulf of Mexico?''
42318''But the Gulf Stream flows north; how, then, can the icebergs accumulate at its source?''
42318''Is she happy?''
42318''Is she in fault, or others?''
42318''That,''said I,''is false;''but not having heard from the family for several years, I asked again,''How many_ did_ she have?''
42318''Then why do n''t you go on?''
42318''What are you going to do with me?''
42318''What for?''
42318''What is the name of the living one?''
42318''What is your occupation?''
42318''What makes her unhappy?''
42318''When?''
42318''Why?''
42318''Will he ever pay me anything?''
42318''_ Three._''''Where are the other two?''
42318And again, what of that spicy colloquy in which Planchette writes the words"devil,""devil''s brother,""stir fires,""broil you,"etc.?
42318And how?
42318Are not many of the usages and familiar forms of speech of modern Christendom a return to old heathenism?
42318Are these the fruits of the misunderstood doctrine of total depravity?]
42318Are they not what St. Augustine calls a repudiation of the Christian faith?
42318At last I asked,''How many brothers has she?''
42318At this point she inquired:"Who is this that is giving this caution?"
42318But Satan can work only through human agents; and who were his instruments for the affliction of these children?
42318But is it a fact, then, that the great enemy whom Christ so constantly spoke of is dead?
42318But what is this doctrine?
42318But why should the devil connect himself with Planchette?...
42318Can you cite me some familiar fact to prove that man is actually surrounded and pervaded by a sphere such as you describe?
42318Curious, is it not?
42318DR. DODDRIDGE''S DREAM[ In concluding these Psychological discussions, what is there more appropriate than the following?
42318Do they believe they are united by intimate bonds with all Christ''s followers?
42318For example, she on one occasion said to it:"Planchette, where did you get your education?"
42318For illustration, suppose a man asserts at noonday that there is no sun, does he teach you there is no sun?
42318Green?''
42318Has it not looked with a jealous eye upon the progress of science generally?
42318He has been appointed to serve the world, and the world does not regard him; the negroes, and( who could believe it?)
42318He says:"How, then, shall we account for the writing which is performed without any direct volition?
42318How does that consideration stand?
42318How does that sound to you, my ingenious friend?
42318How so?
42318I then said:''Who are you?''
42318If I am not an intelligence, in the name of common sense what am I?
42318If a table may be made to spin around the room, why may not a wheel be made to turn as well?"
42318If it be called only a dream, or, even a delusion, what harm can come of it?
42318If thou believest the things which thou sayest to be true, why dost thou weep and lament and make a pageantry and a mock of thy singing?
42318If thou believest them_ not_ to be true, why dost thou play the hypocrite so much as to sing?"
42318In Planchette, public journalists and pamphleteers seem to have caught the"What is it?"
42318In justice to my little friend, however, I must not omit to state that in respect to questions as to the kind of weather we shall have on the morrow?
42318Is it anything more than the sheerest assumption?
42318Is it not in keeping with Scripture teachings, as now interpreted?
42318May I not, then, expect from_ you_ a solution of the mysteries which have thus far enveloped you?
42318May it not be spiritual food, of which their mother, the Church, has abundance, which she has neglected to set before them?
42318My friend C. here asked:"Ought she to go to Kentucky and attend to the matter?"
42318My question was,_ Can you tell me anything about my nephew?_''_ Mr.
42318Nevertheless, I am curious to know how you justify yourself in this disparaging remark on the theology and religion of the day?
42318Pray, how do you account for that fact?
42318She said to him:"For a further test, will you be kind enough to tell me where I last saw you?"
42318St. Chrysostom, speaking of funeral services, quotes passages from the psalms and hymns that were in common use, thus:"What mean our psalms and hymns?
42318Such were the answers to the questions:"How many brothers_ did_ she[ Mary C----] have?"
42318Such, for instance, is the answer"Nobody knows,"to the question"Where is Mary C----?"
42318Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels?"
42318Well, by what description of intelligence?
42318Well, then, what is the way to deal with spiritualism?
42318What is this communion which death can not prevent, and which with prayer can impart consolation?
42318When this theory is offered in seriousness as a final solution of the mystery in question, we are tempted to ask, Who is electricity?
42318Where is the shadow of proof?
42318Why should we not hasten and run after them that we too may see our fatherland?
42318Why?
42318Will you have the kindness to gratify me in this particular?
42318Would not a sermon conceived in the terms of this standard treatise excite an instant sensation as tending toward the errors of Spiritualism?
42318[ 2] Query: Have we here the_ spiritus mundi_ of the old philosophers?
42318_ I._ And what of the changed aspects of science that is to grow out of this alleged peculiar Divine manifestation?
42318_ I._ I see the point, and acknowledge it is ingeniously made; but do you not see that the argument fails to meet the whole difficulty?
42318_ I._ Of course they do; how otherwise?
42318_ I._ On what ground do you assert that the religion of the day stands in a position"negative"to other influences?
42318_ I._ Pray tell us what you mean by the dream- region that lies between the two worlds?
42318_ I._ Well, I should say he would teach the latter; but what use would the knowledge that he is such a fool be to us?
42318_ P._ Can you, then, bear an announcement still more startling than any I have yet made?
42318_ P._ Did not the heathens consult familiar spirits as petty divinities, or gods, and as such, follow their sayings and commands implicitly?
42318_ P._ May you not, then, from all this learn a rule which will always be a safe guide to you in respect to the matters under discussion?
42318and how and where did he get his education?
42318and is this the road our ancestors had to travel in their pilgrimage in quest of freedom and Christianity?
42318and was not that the reason, and the only reason, why the practice was forbidden?
42318and would not the Israelites to whom the Old Testament was addressed have violated the first command in the decalogue by adopting this practice?
42318is my money in jeopardy?"
42318or does he teach you that he is blind?
42318or shall I see, or do this, that, or the other thing?
42318so great an event heralded by so questionable an instrumentality as the rapping and table tipping spirits?
42318that is to say, between mere verbal utterances and phenomenal demonstrations?
42318what is his mental and moral_ status_?
42318will such person go, or such a one come?
11950Behold this ruin,''tis a skull Once of etherial spirit full--"Par quel ordre du Ciel, que je ne puis compendre Vous dis- je plus que je ne dois?
11950Does he know who is now speaking?
11950Is he satisfied with the Commission?
11950Will it answer to the alphabet?
11950''And do you remember the sweet years of old?''
11950''And do you remember, Olive dear, whose names were carved on it?''
11950''And do you, oh, do you remember that you fell asleep under the oak, and that a little acorn fell into your bosom and you tossed it out in a pet?
11950''But Rosamund, Fair Rosamund, what made you drink that bowl?
11950''But, my dear sir,''I cried,''what_ can_ I ask about?
11950''Certainly I will, dear Uncle, and wo n''t you bring me a necklace, too?''
11950''Did n''t you see what Eleanor had in her other hand?''
11950''Do you remember,''I continued,''the old oak near Sumner- place?''
11950''How did she find you out?''
11950''Oh, Effie dear,''I said,''is that you?''
11950''Pray, tell me,''I said,''is that motion of your forefinger voluntary or involuntary?''
11950''Stop,''he cried,''is it Maria?''
11950''Stop,''he cried,''is there a"Saint"about it?''
11950''Well, how does he perform his wonderful exploits in rappings, etc.?''
11950( Resuming): I presume then it is Henry Seybert?
11950( Resuming): Is the Spirit the same one that was present last night?
11950( Resuming): Will you communicate with him before Mr. Pepper leaves to- night?
11950( Resuming, from notes): The inquiry was then addressed to Dr. Slade,''Do you know a man named Guernella who, with his wife, gave séances?''
11950( To Mr. Furness): Do you not think so?
11950And do you know that it has grown into a fine young oak?''
11950Answer:''Soon,''''Will you write for the gentlemen?''
11950Are there more Spirits than one present?
11950Are they visible before you?
11950Are we likely to have any demonstration?
11950Are you able to communicate with him now?
11950Are you happy now?
11950But did it not behoove the Acting Chairman of the Seybert Commission to yield himself a willing victim to the cause of Psychical Research?
11950But had not the envelope been opened?
11950But what other possible way have I of finding out who the Spirits are, when they do not tell me in advance, but by asking them?
11950But why should I anticipate deceit at Spiritual hands?
11950But why should we talk of''loss?''
11950Can it be that the faculty of observation and comparison is rare, and that our features are really vague and misty to our best friends?
11950Can you indicate on the table your presence, Mr. Seybert?
11950Can you tell me anything about the owner, when alive, of the skull here in the Library?
11950Could this have been a lure to tempt me to knock again at the Spiritual door of which Dr. Mansfield is the porter?
11950Did I ever evince the slightest mistrust of Indian''braves?''
11950Did I give her a ring?
11950Did I not very much disappoint a young lady over there?
11950Did you really want to come back?''
11950Do I not go often into a building where many persons work at chemistry?
11950Do you move this pencil?
11950Do you remember it, dear one?''
11950Do you remember it, dear?''
11950Do you remember who gave you that bowl just before you died?''
11950Does it gratify her, as a Spirit, that it is mounted on black marble?
11950Does not a hen sit for three weeks?
11950Does she ever hover over it?''
11950Dr. Koenig: What would that mean-- that he only sees some of us, or that he sees none of us entirely, but only partially?
11950Dr. Leidy asked the question:"Is any Spirit present?"
11950Dr. Leidy asked:''When and where did you die?''
11950Dr. Leidy: Is Mr. Seybert present?
11950Dr. Leidy: Is any Spirit present whom I know, or who knows me?
11950Dr. Leidy: Is any Spirit present?
11950Dr. Leidy: Who am I?
11950Dr. Leidy: Will you repeat your taps to indicate that you are present yet?
11950Dr. Leidy:"To the right?"
11950Dr. Leidy:"Will you confer with the man to left of the Medium?"
11950Had you no suspicions?''
11950Have I been smitten with color- blindness?
11950Have I ever failed in respectful homage to General Washington?
11950Have I never seen the Medium before?
11950Have I not been across the water where people had the cholera and turned black and died?
11950Have you any message to send to your wife, M---- F----?
11950He asked, with somewhat of a sneer,''How did you expect to investigate it?''
11950I arose as it approached and asked:''Is this Rosamund?''
11950I sat down and wrote,"Has Marie St. Clair met Sister Belle in the other world?"
11950I sat down at my table and wrote:''Is it really true that Sister Belle''s body was sold to three doctors?''
11950I thought,''are not the four Cardinal virtues, Temperance, Justice,_ Prudence_ and Fortitude?''
11950I wrote upon a slip of paper my question,"Will Dr. H. advise me what to do for Juliet( an old colored patient)?"
11950If William Shakespeare can appear to me, why not Fair Rosamund?
11950If it be not the Spirit that I name, will it not, if it has a shred of honesty, set me right?
11950In answer to the question,''Are you ready to lift the gentleman?''
11950In answer to the question,''Will you try to lift the chair?''
11950Is it Henry Seybert?
11950Is it that the Medium exercises some mesmeric influence on her visitors, who are thus made to accept the faces which she wills them to see?
11950Is not a Medium worth more than a chicken?
11950Is the gentleman opposite a Medium?
11950Isolating you from the table?
11950It was asked whether Mr. Seybert would meet us on the next evening?
11950It was asked: Will the Spirits answer questions?
11950Le Conte-- are you engaged now in the study of Coleoptera?''
11950Medium requests that the piano be moved against the door( to keep off illicit Spirits?).
11950Moreover, I thought, are there not to be found in Anatomical Museums skeletons of infants with one body and two heads?
11950Mr. Fullerton( to the Medium): How does your hand feel when affected in that way?
11950Mr. Fullerton: Then it was not the regular triple rap?
11950Mr. Furness( applying his right hand, by her permission, to the Medium''s head): Are you ever conscious of any vibration in your bones?
11950Mr. Furness: Do these raps always have that vibratory sound-- tr- rut-- tr- rut-- tr- rut?
11950Mr. Furness: Do you suppose that the present conditions are such that you can throw the raps to a part of the room other than that in which you are?
11950Mr. Furness: How in the world shall we test that?
11950Mr. Furness: The freer the raps come, the better for you?
11950Mr. Furness: Under what conditions can you influence them?
11950Mr. Furness: You say that, in the generality of cases, they are beyond your control?
11950Mr. Pepper: Harry, would you like to know something about this investigation of Spiritual manifestations, which you had so much at heart while living?
11950My fourth, and last, question therefore ran:''Do you think that by any chance Dina Melish would know?''
11950My third question immediately followed:"Can you give me any information as to where even a portion of the body is?"
11950Need I say that this document, in Marie''s own handwriting, invests the skull with even added interest?
11950Need it be added that I gratefully remitted to Medium Number Three a double fee, and do yet consider myself many times her debtor?
11950Now, Mr. Seybert, can not you produce some raps?
11950On two occasions, when I suggested that I recognized the form by asking,"Is it----?"
11950Or is it, after all, only the dim light and a fresh illustration of_ la nuit tous les chats sont gris_?
11950Pepper:"Do you remember the year in which you made the promise?"
11950Professor Thompson( interposing): Do you remember the Medium''s remarks about the resistance of the Spirits?
11950Professor Thompson( who was the person indicated):"Is the Spirit male?"
11950Professor Thompson: But did not the Medium make that statement at the very first séance?
11950Sellers asked the Medium,"Dr. Slade, will you allow me to see that slate?"
11950Sellers here described at length Mr. Kellar''s trick with the fastened slates, and in concluding, asked:] How did Mr. Kellar do that?
11950Sellers( addressing the Spirit): Will you repeat the raps we heard just now, assuming that there were some?
11950Sellers( after a notification from the Medium to proceed): Is Mr. Seybert still present?
11950Sellers( to the Medium): As if the Spirits might or might not communicate?
11950Sellers): Was not that slate the one that I held at the time referred to?
11950Sellers): Was there an answer to that?
11950Sellers): You asked that question, I think?
11950Sellers, being requested to write a question on the back of the slate near him, wrote the following,''What is the time?''
11950Sellers, complying with the Medium''s request to write a question on the back of the slate, wrote"Do you know the persons present?"
11950Sellers: Are there only three?
11950Sellers: Are there seven members of the Committee present?
11950Sellers: Are they all seated around one table?
11950Sellers: Are they seated at two tables?
11950Sellers: Are those the shoes which you usually wear?
11950Sellers: But can he not do it by trickery?
11950Sellers: But do you feel now, to- night, any untoward influence operating against you?
11950Sellers: Do you know a man named Kellar, who is exhibiting in this city?
11950Sellers: Do you, Mr. Seybert, at the present time, see the persons present?
11950Sellers: Is any Spirit present now?
11950Sellers: Then the sounds will be just beneath your feet, will they?
11950Sellers: What are the rules?
11950Sellers: Will the Spirit rap again?
11950Sellers: Will the raps be produced under such circumstances?
11950Sellers: Will you communicate with Mr. Pepper by raps or by writing?
11950Sellers: Will you please rap the number of the members of the Committee who are present at this time?
11950Sellers:"Does Mr. Seybert know the names of the Commission?"
11950Sellers:"Will Henry Seybert make the raps at this end of the table?"
11950Stifling atmosphere breathed for 1- 1/2 hours, for what?
11950Tell me, you little witch, who were you thinking of all that time?''
11950Tell us if you will play the accordion, or try to to- day?
11950The Medium( repeating): Will you rap on the floor?
11950The Medium( to Dr. Leidy): Ask if that is Mr. Seybert?
11950The Medium( to Mr. Furness): The glasses are not placed over marble, are they?
11950The Medium: Now, Mr. Seybert, if your Spirit is here, will you have the kindness-- I knew Mr. Seybert well in life-- to rap?
11950The Medium: Now, Spirits, will you rap on the floor?
11950The Medium: Well, by-- Mr. Furness: By-- what?
11950The Medium: Were any of you gentlemen acquainted with Mr. Seybert in his lifetime?
11950The Medium: Will the Spirit rap here?
11950To regain my lost position, therefore, I said hastily,''But can it be Effie?''
11950Upon one slate the following interrogatories and responses were recorded:''Spirits, are you ready to work?''
11950Was to be, or not to be, a Medium so evenly balanced that the turning of a hair, or of a whole head of hair was to repel me?
11950What hinders it from telling me just who it is?
11950When a Spirit called for her husband, Mrs. Thayer, the interpreter, asked,"Has anyone here a wife on the other side?"
11950When a Spirit comes out of the Cabinet especially to me, how am I to know, or to find out, who it is but by asking?
11950When we resumed our seats, I could not help asking her:''Are you_ sure_ you recognized him?''
11950Where a hen gives a week, shall not I give a month?
11950Whereupon she instantly retorted, with much indignation,''Do you mean to imply that I do n''t_ know_ my_ husband_?''
11950Who can truthfully describe a juggler''s trick?
11950Why had no one ever told me of that row of books?
11950Why may not this have been an instance of one head and two bodies?
11950Will you communicate by raps?
11950Would not it be advisable, when you say it was thrown up, to add that it was thrown from the side at which the Medium was sitting?
11950You''ll surely come and see me again the next time I come here, wo n''t you?''
11950you never believed in them, did you?''
12353Can you read them, or tell me the name of the author?
12353What is he doing?
12353Where is he?
12353Whom is he writing to?
12353''About ten minutes past[ to?]
12353''And what is the evidence for the truth of Coleridge''s legend?''
12353''And wherefore should a breach be made in the laws of nature, yet its purpose remain unknown?''
12353''Both heard, at the same time, an[ objective?]
12353''Cagn made all things, and we pray to him,''thus:''O Cagn, O Cagn, are we not thy children?
12353''How came he into the world?''
12353''How,''it has been asked,''could all mankind forget a pure religion?
12353''IV.--On Thursday, March--?
12353''In default of any experimental evidence''( how about Mr. William Crookes''s?)
12353''My heathen brother, you have a sister who is a demoniac?''
12353''Under the physical[ psychical?]
12353''[ 11] How can we pretend to understand a religion if we do not know its secret?
12353''[ 13] Did early man, then, find_ in experience_ that apparitions of his friends were''connected in fact''with their deaths?
12353''[ 2] But why does he think the Israelites did all this?
12353''[ 3] The dead man becomes a ghost- god, receives prayer and sacrifice, is called a Mulungu(= great ancestor or= sky?
12353''[ 40] Whence came the idea of Taa- roa?
12353''[ 9] But whence came that higher worship which seems to have intervened immediately after the cessation of nomadic habits?
12353( 2)''What are those human shapes which appear in dreams and visions?
12353), 1855, 1830(?!
12353), 1864(?
12353--"Of what colour,"I asked,"is the stuff which he pours out?"
12353After Miss Angus had described the large building and crowds of men, some one asked,''Is it an exchange?''
12353Ah, say what Spirit, or Body, is this Body, That fills the world around, Speak, man, ah say What Spirit, or Body, is this Body?''
12353And what have we to oppose to such a cloud of witnesses, but the absolute_ impossibility, or miraculous nature_ of the events which they relate?
12353And what is the''mind''?
12353And who was El?
12353And why was that manifested to the eye, which could not unfold its tale to the ear?''
12353Are the things bound to be''connected in fact''?
12353As Frank and the native were cross- cutting a tree, the native stopped suddenly, and said,"What are you come for?"
12353Asked,''what substance?''
12353But how did it come to be thought that a spirit dwelt in a lifeless and motionless piece of stone or stick?
12353But how does it apply when, as by the Kurnai, the Supreme Being is reckoned an ancestor?
12353But the word in the latter case would react on the thought, till the Roman inhaled( as his life?)
12353But this is arguing in a circle; What is''a properly receptive state''?
12353But we can both say''the ultimate form of the religious consciousness is''( will be?)
12353But what do we mean by''hysterical''?
12353But wherefore do they crystallise round Zeus?
12353But, had they a God( on the Australian pattern) whom they have forgotten, or have they not yet evolved a God out of Animism?
12353By what other considerations?
12353Can you tell me what book it is?"
12353Do his experience and their belief coincide by pure chance?]
12353Do these produce, or probably produce, many empty hallucinations_ not_ coincident with death or any great crisis?
12353Do you not see us hunger?
12353Does Mr. Payne mean that a great creative spirit is_ not_ a god, while a spirit kept on board wages in a tangible object is a god?
12353Does Mulungu, as Creative God, receive sacrifice, or not?
12353First, what was the process of development?
12353Frank replied,"What do you mean?"
12353Frank said,"Where is he?"
12353Given Animism, then, or the belief in spiritual beings, as the earliest form and minimum of religious faith, what is the origin of Animism?
12353Granting a primal religion relatively pure in its beginnings, why did it degenerate?
12353Granting the belief in souls and ghosts and spirits, however attained, how was the idea of a Supreme Being to be evolved out of that belief?
12353Has fetishism one of its origins in the actual field of supernormal experience in the X region?
12353Have critics and manual- makers no knowledge of the science of comparative religion?
12353He does not ask''Are the phenomena real?''
12353He is called"Dendid"( great rain, that is, universal benediction?).''
12353How are these to be explained?
12353How can we know that he was envisaged, originally, as_ Spirit_?
12353How did it work?
12353How do we explain his lack of adoration?
12353How else, thinkers would say, can the seer visit the distant place or person, and correctly describe men and scenes which, in the body, he never saw?
12353How in the world can you deify a person whom you do n''t remember?
12353How were these contradictions to be reconciled?
12353How were they evolved out of the notion of a confessed artificial bogle?
12353How, then, did men come to believe in_ him_ as a terrible, all- seeing, all- knowing, creative, and potent moral being?
12353I say''creative''because''he made all things,''and( as the bowler said about a''Yorker'')''what else can you call him?''
12353If so, where, precisely, ends its power of carrying facts?
12353If we are not to call it''degeneration,''what are we to call it?
12353If you can not have''an established ancestor- worship''till you abandon nomadic habits, how, while still nomadic, do you evolve a Supreme Being?
12353In any case we ask for evidence how, in the''impenetrable forests''did a new Supreme Deity become universally known?
12353In heaven''s name, why not?
12353Is Mtanga evolved out of an ancestral ghost?
12353Is it because, in a sufficient ratio of cases to provoke remark, early man has found the appearance and the death to be''things connected in fact''?
12353Is it not certain that such a being could be conceived of by men who had never dreamed of ghosts?
12353Is the idea that, by loosing the bonds, the seer demonstrates the agency of spirits, after the manner of the Davenport Brothers?
12353It is a logical creed, but how was the Supreme Being evolved out of the ghost of a''people- devouring king''like Powhattan?
12353Langlois?"
12353Lastly, when were medicine- men such notable moralists?
12353Miss Angus now asked,''Where is my little lady?''
12353Mr. Bissett asked,''What is the man''s expression?''
12353Mr. Oxford know?
12353Now, how does this theory of false memory bear on coincidental hallucinations?
12353On any such theories as these the belief in a moral Supreme Being is a very late( or a very early?)
12353On what does he suppose that the belief of the savage is based?
12353One of John Nicholson''s native adorers killed himself on news of that warrior''s death, saying,''What is left worth living for?''
12353Otherwise we might ask: Does Mr. Clodd prefer to be considered not''competent''or not''veracious''?
12353Supposing that the arguments in this essay met with some acceptance, what effect would they have, if any, on our thoughts about religion?
12353Surely you quite understand my reasoning?''
12353The South Guinea Creator, Anyambia(= good spirit?
12353The question thus arises, Is there any truth whatever in these world- wide and world- old stories of inanimate objects acting like animated things?
12353The real question is, Do such events occur among lower and higher races, beyond explanation by fraud and fortuitous coincidence?
12353The remoteness of the occurrences is more remarkable, for, if these things happen, why were so few recent cases discovered?
12353The watcher of conduct, the friendly, creative being of low savage faith, whence was he evolved?
12353Then, of course, Nyankupon would receive the best sacrifices of all, as the most powerful deity?
12353Therefore a corpse is not a thing( within the meaning of my General Law)''?
12353This is very plausible, is it not?
12353This_ must_ be so, because the Danites asked the young Levite whether it was not better to be priest to a clan than to an individual?
12353To Mr. Tylor''s arguments, when I read them, I replied in the''Nineteenth Century,''January 1899:''Are Savage Gods Borrowed from Missionaries?''
12353To the psychologist who objects that our modern instances are mere anecdotes, we reply by asking,''Dear sir, what are_ your_ modern instances?
12353Tom said to me,"Will you go with us to Joe''s, and you will see something you have never seen before?"
12353Was He?
12353Was there a coincidence at all in the Society''s cases printed in the Census?
12353Was this simply a coincidence?''
12353We meet our old problem: How has this God, in the conception of whom there is so much philosophy, developed out of these hungry ghosts?
12353What do you know of"Mrs. A.,"whom you still persistently cite as an example of morbid recurrent hallucinations?
12353What do you want?"
12353What is their practical tendency?
12353What kind of creature was man when he first conceived the germs, or received the light, of Religion?
12353What led Herr Parish, an honourable and clearheaded critic, into this maze of incorrect and contradictory assertions?
12353What were the processes of the conversion of Twanyirika?
12353What, not even if all hallucinations, or ninety- nine per cent., coincided with the death of the person seen?
12353What, then, is the origin of Animism?
12353Whence came the moral element in the idea of Jehovah?
12353Where did she live?
12353Where shall we find such a number of circumstances, agreeing to the corroboration of one fact?
12353Who vouches for her, who heard her, who understood her?
12353Why did Association choose that day, of all days in my life, for her solitary freak?
12353Why do you not name a few out of the distinguished crowd?
12353Why does he not take care when he pours it out?"
12353Why on earth is association so fond of dying people-- granting the statistics, which are''another story''?
12353Why only that once?
12353Why was Nyankupon, the supposed new god of a new powerful set of strangers, left wholly unpropitiated?
12353Why, or how, did a silly buffoon, or a confessed''bogle''arrive at being regarded as a patron of such morality as had been evolved?
12353Why, then, is the phantasm supposed by savages to announce death?
12353Why, then, when the wraith is seen, is the owner believed to be dying?
12353Yet again, whence comes the moral element in Jehovah?
12353Yet is this true, or are such experiences only ignored and put aside without serious consideration?''
12353[ 14] What, then, is the cause of the belief that a phantom of a man is a token of his death?
12353[ 22] Who is right?
12353[ 9] Here is the scientific explanation of Herr Parish:''The shimmer of a reflecting surface[ the sideboard?]
12353_ C''est là le miracle!_''How much for this little veskit?''
12353_ Why_ do they perform these rites?
19376Are you going? 19376 But do they give satisfaction?"
19376But then,it will be said,"if she lives for the time being in the other world, why does she not relate her impressions when she wakes?"
19376Can you bring Stainton Moses here?
19376Do n''t you remember D.?
19376Do n''t you remember, James, that we often talked of your brother and the trouble he gave us? 19376 Do you recognise this book?"
19376Do you recognise this?
19376Do you remember old Dyruputia( Dupuytren)?
19376George, where did you know my son?
19376George, where did you stay with us?
19376Hear the whistle?
19376I wanted to know if you remembered anything about the dogs killing sheep?
19376Is that a blessing? 19376 No, James, I know you very well, but this one"( speaking again to Dr Hodgson),"Did you know the boys?
19376Was this after you went west?
19376Well, why do you not come out and say, Give me my step- mother''s name, and not confuse him about anything except what you really want? 19376 What, in their corrections?"
19376When?
19376Where''s Thompson? 19376 Why do you say that?"
19376Yes, was there anything else the matter?
19376A little later on, the following dialogue takes place between Miss Vance and George Pelham:"Now, whom do you have to correct your writings?"
19376After all, are there not famous men of science who declare that genius itself is only a neurosis?
19376An interesting question arises at the point we have reached--"What is Phinuit?
19376And now, can there be a conclusion to this work?
19376And what do they think of our life upon earth?
19376And why does it make just the mistakes that an imperfect, finite spirit would make?
19376Another time Robert Hyslop asks,"Do you remember the penknife I cut my nails with?"
19376Another time she says, quite at the end,"Is that my body?
19376Are these only analogies?
19376Are these traits thrown in intentionally by the communicator, the better to prove his identity?
19376At one of the first sittings he says, for example,"Do you remember what my feeling was about this life?
19376At one sitting he asks,"Where is Tom?"
19376At the 44th sitting,[28] Professor Lodge asked his Uncle Jerry, who is supposed to be communicating,"Do you remember anything when you were young?"
19376At the end, Mrs Piper often asks this odd question,"Did you hear my head snap?"
19376At this moment Dr Hodgson said,"Do you remember Mrs Warner?"
19376But if this is so, why does not Phinuit own it?
19376But presently George Pelham recognises him, and says,"How is your son?
19376But then why should the communicators grow clear with time?
19376But then, from whence did she take the other characters?
19376But, when the communication is not direct, when an intermediary is speaking through the organism, what should we think?
19376C. F. W.--"Have you any relatives living in Marseilles?"
19376C. F. W.--"Was Dupuytren alive when you passed out?"
19376C. F. W.--"What influence has my mind on what you tell me?"
19376CONTENTS PAGE Preface by Sir Oliver Lodge xi Objects of the Society xix Chapter I 1 Mrs Piper''s mediumship-- Is mediumship a neurosis?
19376Ca n''t you see me?
19376Can it be said that there were no inexact statements made by the communicator during all these sittings?
19376Can we say that the communicator George Pelham has never made a partially or wholly erroneous assertion?
19376Did you know me?"
19376Did you see the light?
19376Did you think I was no longer friend of his?
19376Do n''t you hear me?
19376Do n''t you know his name is Henry?
19376Do n''t you remember what a trouble I had to breathe?
19376Do you know Dr Clinton Perry?
19376Do you see the man with the cross shut out everybody?"
19376Do you see the man with the cross[87] shut out everybody?
19376Do you suppose that the swarms on the ground of the cave will run?
19376Do you?"
19376Does Phinuit better justify the title of doctor which he assumes?
19376Does not their silence on this point indicate that they are only secondary personalities of the medium?
19376Dr F. asked,[37]"Have you ever prescribed_ chiendent_ or_ Triticum repens_?"
19376Dr H.--"He wants to see me?"
19376Dr Hodgson asks,"What man?"
19376Dr Hodgson.--"Well, do you see that there is a conflict, because the brain substance is, so to speak, saturated with her tendencies of thought?"
19376Dr Hodgson.--"What about it?"
19376Each spirit is not so dim(?)
19376Finally, in order to attain to any result in these studies, money is needed-- why not say so?
19376For pity''s sake, are you her little daughter?"
19376G. P.--"Well, have you forgotten all I told you before?"
19376George Pelham is asked,"Could you not tell us something which your mother has done?"
19376H. W.--"How is Alice?"
19376H. W.--"How''s the Society, Lucy Stone and all of them?"
19376H. W.--"Where is my big silk handkerchief?"
19376H. W.--"Where is my thimble?"
19376H. W.--"Where''s William and doctor?"
19376H. W.--"Who''s Sarah?"
19376Have they any reason to be ashamed?
19376He asked,"Do you know what the trouble was when you passed out?"
19376He asks Dr Hodgson,"Do you know where the Hospital of God is( Hospital de Dieu)?"
19376He asks him,"Why do n''t you write on this subject?"
19376He asks,"What is Rogers writing now?"
19376He has very curious ideas about things and people; he receives a great deal about people from themselves(?
19376He said to her at a sitting,"Katharine, how is the violin?
19376He sends them expressions of affection,"Have I forgotten anybody, James, my son?
19376He welcomes Mr and Mrs Howard in a characteristic way:"Jim, is that you?
19376He will say,"Do you remember our being together in such a place?"
19376Here''s a little child called Stevenson-- two of them-- one named Mannie( Minnie?)
19376How can an infinite power seem at times so limited, so finite, when the conditions remain unchanged?
19376How could Phinuit guess this by simply touching a lock of hair?
19376How is it that telepathy, which can do so much, owns itself incapable, or nearly so, of determining the moment when an action has been performed?
19376How should such puny creatures as ourselves hope to solve the problems of the universe by_ a priori_ reasoning?
19376How then should the shape we men have in this world persist in the next?
19376How''s Mary?
19376How''s father and all the folks?
19376Howard.--"Our conversation, then, is something like telephoning?"
19376I do not remember any trouble-- tell me what it was about?
19376I feel so weak.... Is that my handkerchief?"
19376I made theories all my life, and what good did it do me?
19376If they are, as they say, disincarnated spirits, who formerly lived in bodies, why do they not say who they were?
19376Is it a woman or a man?"
19376Is it justified by the facts of experimental or spontaneous observation among psychologists?
19376Is n''t he writing something about me?"
19376It will come to that, without doubt, but will it be soon?
19376John Hart, at the first sitting at which George Pelham appeared, gave some sleeve- links he was wearing, and asked,"Who gave them to me?"
19376Mr Carruthers suddenly perceives the presence of Dr Hodgson and says,"You are not Robert Hyslop''s son, are you?
19376Mr E.[17]--"Lodge, how are you?
19376Mr Howard.--"Vernon?"
19376Mr T.--"What does your father do?"
19376Mrs B.--"Can you tell me where that letter is now that you wrote?"
19376Mrs B.--"Can you tell me, sister, how many brothers you have in spirit life?"
19376Mrs B.--"Can''t you tell me more about it?"
19376Mrs B.--"How long has he been?"
19376Mrs B.--"Sarah Grover?"
19376Mrs B.--"What Alice?"
19376Mrs B.--"What lot?"
19376Mrs Blodgett says,"Hannah, tell me whose and what is that?"
19376Mrs H.--"Well, what does he want to say to me?
19376Mrs H.--"Yes; which Aunt Ellen?"
19376Mrs Piper and the Society for Psychical Research CHAPTER I Mrs Piper''s mediumship-- Is mediumship a neurosis?
19376Must we believe in it?
19376Must we suppose that Dame Telepathy is a mere incarnation of the demon of fraud and deceit?
19376Nevertheless, George Pelham asks her at once,"How is the society getting on?"
19376O. L.--"Is it bad for the medium?"
19376O. L.--"What sort of person is this Dr Phinuit?"
19376O. L.--"You have seen my Uncle Jerry, have n''t you?
19376Of what use, then, are the small objects given to the medium?
19376Phinuit jokingly felt the mouth with his hands and asked,"What is this thing with a tube?"
19376Phinuit likes to say,"Bonjour, comment vous portez vous?
19376Phinuit seemed much surprised, and said,"What is the English of that?"
19376Phinuit.--"Do you know Mr Clark-- a tall, dark man, in the body?
19376Phinuit.--"How are you, Alfred?
19376Phinuit.--"It is a gentleman; and do you remember your Aunt Ellen?"
19376Phinuit.--"Oh, you did?
19376Professor Hyslop asks,"Do you know why she grieves?"
19376Professor Lodge.--"Can she send her name any better?"
19376Professor N.--"Can you tell me what he said?"
19376Professor N.--"Did you tell Hodgson this?"
19376Professor N.--"Is he asleep?"
19376Professor N.--"Is he far advanced?"
19376Professor N.--"Stainton Moses has been nearly three years in the spirit.... Do you mean to say that he is not yet free from confusion?"
19376Professor N.--"Was he a true medium?"
19376Professor N.--"Was not he good?"
19376Professor N.--"What do you mean?"
19376Professor N.--"You mean about progression by repentance?"
19376Professor Newbold.--"Did you ever know of him or know what he did?"
19376Professor Newbold.--"You taught that evil spirits tempt sinners to their own destruction?"
19376Professor Newbold[75] then asked,--"Do you know of Stainton Moses?"
19376Shall we say that while he was holding hands he had laid in a provision of knowledge for the whole half- hour?
19376Should we each admit conditionally the spiritualist hypothesis?
19376Should we follow them?
19376Something cold, is n''t it?"
19376Ted''s mother and.... And how''s Susie?
19376The final phrases are always Mrs Piper''s own questions and remarks: When she says,"Did you see the light?"
19376The one that lost the purse?"
19376The question was,"Do you remember Samuel Cooper, and can you say anything about him?"
19376Then how shall we understand the errors and confusions of the communicators?
19376Then why does it make mistakes?
19376Then, what interest could they have in deceiving us?
19376These speeches bring into the foreground the question:"What becomes of the medium''s spirit during the trance, if there is a spirit?"
19376To begin with, what is the origin of this telepathic hypothesis?
19376What can this"influence"be?
19376What does he mean by this?
19376What is it?
19376What made the man''s hair all fall off?"
19376What man living has not made a hundred such mistakes?
19376What should such mediums fear?
19376What''s his name?"
19376What, on the telepathic hypothesis, has had the power to create them?
19376Whence did the medium take them?
19376Whence does he come?
19376Whence his name?
19376Where are my glasses"( the medium passes her hands over her eyes)?
19376Where is the little outhouse?"
19376Where''s brother?"
19376Where''s doctor?
19376Where''s my comb?
19376Who was it went to Finland, or Norway?"
19376Whom shall we believe?
19376Why does he do that?"
19376Why is that?"
19376Why should they become lucid at the time when they ought to be still more confused, if the telepathic hypothesis is the correct one?
19376Why were the results so poor?
19376Why?
19376Why?"
19376Will it be said that these small dramas resemble the creations of the same kind which occur in delirium or dreams?
19376Will you comfort her?
19376Would it not have been wiser of Phinuit to hold his tongue than to tell us a mass of improbabilities?
19376You are not a great one for mathematics, are you?"
19376You certainly must remember it?"
19376You do not mean with me, do you?"
19376You have just learned, have n''t you?
19376You know me, do n''t you?"
19376You remember about my dress?
19376You remember all about my money?
19376You remember his big chair where he used to sit and think?"
19376You''ll know best and correct(?).
19376Your Uncle Jerry tells me to ask.... By the way, do you know Mr E.''s been here; did you hear him?"
19376[ 34] C. F. W.--"What medical men were prominent in Paris in your time?"
19376[ 67] Professor Newbold.--"Does the soul carry with it into its new life all its passions and animal appetites?"
19376and as James Hyslop did not understand what Tom he was speaking of, the communicator added,"Tom, the horse, what has become of him?"
19376have lost a child, have n''t they?
19376little Minnie Stevenson?
19376they will say,"is that all that spirits who return from the other world have to say to us?
19376why do n''t you speak?
30540And I, then, as the most unworthy part of it?
30540And that?
30540And the child?
30540Are you a stranger in the country-- but newly come to us?
30540But have you no sick here?
30540Canst thou administer holiness to a sinful soul?
30540Canst thou heal a sick spirit?
30540Did Charley live?
30540Did something really ail him that night when his mother-- that miserable night?
30540Did the child_ die_?
30540Do n''t you_ feel_ me? 30540 Do n''t you_ want_ to see Him?"
30540Do you not hear? 30540 Do you wonder now?"
30540Do you?
30540Does he ever stay late at the office?
30540Esmerald--"Oh, what?
30540Have I ever fretted you about coming, Esmerald? 30540 Have you seen the Lord?"
30540Helen? 30540 How does it happen that Mrs. Thorne-- You say this message was dated at midnight?"
30540How is it she did n''t_ know_ by that time? 30540 Is it a kind of game?"
30540Is it, Doctor? 30540 Is the boy yours?"
30540Jason,he said, after an instant''s pause,"pick up the''Herald,''will you?
30540Mrs. Decker dead? 30540 Oh,"I said indifferently,"is that all?"
30540Oh,she said joyously,"have you seen Him_ yet_?"
30540Papa, who is worship?
30540Tell me,I said, turning toward him who had brought me thither,"how shall I make compensation for my entertainment?
30540Was n''t he a quick- tempered man?
30540Was she conscious to the end?
30540Was there by chance nothing more?
30540What did you say? 30540 What do you desire for him?"
30540What had you?
30540What is Christ, papa? 30540 What is that dog about?"
30540What were your possessions in the life yonder?
30540What_ did_ you bring with you?
30540When did this dispatch come, Jason?
30540Where are you hurt?
30540Where''s the baby, Helen?
30540Who is? 30540 Why do n''t you tell him it was I?"
30540Why do you not answer the child, Esmerald Thorne?
30540Wo n''t you speak to me?
30540Yes, sir?
3054025 What Can She Do?
3054051 Odd or Even?
30540A chance to endow him with every social opportunity, every educational privilege, such as it is a father''s pride to enrich his child wherewith?
30540A father''s personal position?
30540Alas, what art had I, in that high science so far above me, that my earth- bound gaze had never reached unto it?
30540All those forms of personality which go with intellectual position and the use of it?
30540Alone in all that blessedness, was I bereft?
30540And how should I be understood if I told the story?
30540And wherefore?
30540Are you gone deaf and blind?
30540Art Thou verily that ancient Myth which we were wo nt to call Almighty God?"
30540As the young do?
30540Brake?
30540But they are terribly cut up about it.... Chowder?
30540Ca n''t you have it attended to?
30540Ca n''t you help me?
30540Can you not see?
30540Can you step?
30540Chivalry for the helpless?
30540Command of science?
30540Developed skill?
30540Devotion to a therapeutic creed?
30540Did I love her the less, because the distance of the worshipper had dwindled to the lover''s clasp?
30540Did I this or that?
30540Did she ask for me?"
30540Did these, and only these, sources of conduct_ explain_ the great hospital?
30540Did you think I would remember_ that_?"
30540Do n''t you hear a word I say?
30540Do n''t you hear me?"
30540Do n''t you see?
30540Do n''t you suppose I know how to drive?
30540Do you mean to say you do n''t know who the child_ is_?"
30540Drayton?"
30540Emotion?
30540Enthusiasm for an important professional cause?
30540Even the love of science?
30540Extended fame?
30540Faith,"did I startle you?
30540Friendship to the friendless?
30540Frost, last night, was n''t there?
30540Gazell?"
30540Generosity to the poor?
30540Habit?
30540Had I been so much less that was noble, so much more that was low?
30540Had my goddess departed from her divinity, my queen from her throne, my star from her heaven?
30540Had the miracle gone out of it?
30540Have you seen this abominable canard?
30540Have you seen_ that_?"
30540Helen?"
30540How are sick folks going to get along without their doctor?
30540How came it?
30540How did the sensitiveness to self, the passion for fame, the joy of power, amalgamate with all that noble feeling?
30540How does it strike you?"
30540How know we what law of selection our memories will obey in that system of mental relations which we call"forever"?
30540How shall I express the sickening aspect of the scene to a man but newly dead?
30540How shall I obey, who am the most unworthy of any soul upon whom has been laid the burden of the higher utterance?
30540How shall I tell the story unless I be understood?
30540How was I to foster him?
30540How was I, being at discord from it, to bring my child into harmony with it?
30540How would she hold me to account for him?
30540How, now, was I to compass this national kind of happiness for my son?
30540I answered,"how can I teach you that which I myself know not?"
30540I caught myself thinking this preposterous thing: Suppose it were all over?
30540I cried, as she made a signal of farewell,"are you not going to help me-- is nobody going to help me take care of this child?"
30540I cried,"_ you_ know me, do n''t you?
30540I cried,"what is the meaning of this?
30540I have been thinking that possibly you may be able-- and willing-- to approach her for me?"
30540I might be a spiritual outcast, but what was to become of Boy?
30540I must say to her-- I must tell her-- Why, who in all the world but me could do_ anything_ for Helen now?
30540I pleaded,"no hospitals or places of need?
30540I was silenced by being gently asked: What could I do?
30540I wonder if we have any scale of measurement for what women suffer?"
30540If I cherished her as my own soul, what could I give her back, who had given herself to me?
30540If in the body, where was the common element between that attenuated invalid and my robust organization?
30540If in the soul, between the suffering saint and the joyous man of the world, where again was our common moral protoplasm?
30540If she tripped upstairs?
30540If the child''s crib took fire and she put it out, and herself received one of those deadly shocks from burns not in themselves mortal?
30540If the last, what species of vigour?
30540In a world of souls, what was mine-- miserable, ignorant, half- developed, wholly unfit-- what was mine to do with his?
30540In that spot, in that way, of all others, why was I withheld?
30540Is it people''s Mother?
30540Is n''t that dinner ready?
30540Is there no use for it all, in this state of being which I have come to?"
30540Is there_ no one_ in this place who hears?
30540It said:"_ Have you seen my husband, to- night?_"and it was signed,"_ Helen Thorne._"Oh, poor Helen!...
30540It seems to me impossible in any set of conditions that memory could blot that experience from my being; but of that what know I?
30540Loving influence?
30540Might not a woman_ love_ herself into continued existence who felt for any creature what she did for that child?
30540Oh, how can they?"
30540Or am I struck dumb?
30540Or sees me,_ either_?"
30540Or selection?
30540Or shall I get a waggon, and a farm- hand?
30540Or the surgeon who had created and sustained it?
30540Passed beyond the old system of suffering, why should he?
30540Power to push the little fellow to the front?
30540Public power?
30540Quail?
30540Rather, I might say, when does the blue become the violet, within the prism?
30540Sacrifice for a surgical doctrine?
30540So much of self and gain?
30540So wholly did she rule my soul-- how could I stoop to care the more for hers, because she was beyond my reach?
30540So?--Will you try it?
30540Suppose Helen thought that my unaccountable absence had something to do with that scene between us?
30540Suppose my wife were to die?
30540Suppose some accident befell her?
30540Suppose somebody had got the news to her that the horse had been seen dashing free of the buggy, or had returned alone to the stable, panting and cut?
30540Suppose we never saw each other again?
30540Sympathy with the wretched?
30540Tell me, Doctor, what do you think of this place?
30540The love of healing?
30540The relief of suffering?
30540The sum of the false so large?
30540The''Herald''says-- Where is that paper?"
30540Thought?
30540To what had all those old attainments come?
30540To- night?
30540Vigour?
30540Was it possible that I could stand by and see Charley_ die_?
30540Was it thus, I said, or so?
30540Was the balance of motives so disproportionate after all?
30540Was the item of the true so small?
30540Was there so little love of wife and child?
30540Were it for me to expect to be successful in that solemn effort which is as old as time, and as hopeless as the eyes of mourners?
30540Were these the motives, all the motives, the_ whole_ motives, of him who had in my name ministered in that place so long?
30540What does this mean?"
30540What fine, unclassified senses had the highly- organized animal by which he should become aware of me?
30540What has become of your wisdom and your power?
30540What is it for?"
30540What is the custom of the country?
30540What is the sum of wealth represented within these walls to- day?
30540What is to be said?
30540What knew I of the system of things on which a blow upon the head had ushered me all unready, reluctant, and uninstructed as I was?
30540What shall I call that difference with which the man''s love differs when he has won the woman?
30540What shall I say?
30540What she, for instance, by that time was suffering, oh, who in the wide world else could guess or dream?
30540What then?
30540What was death?
30540What was that in the individual which gave it strength to stay?
30540What was the life- force in this new condition of things?
30540What went I out, with the heavenly, happy people, for to see?
30540What word is there to say?
30540What worse punishment were there, verily, than the consciousness of having done the sort of deed that I had?
30540What would Helen say?
30540What would Helen think by this time?
30540What wouldst Thou with me?
30540What young creature ever loved like that?
30540What_ made_ us go on living?
30540When does the dawn become the day upon the summer sky?
30540When does the high tide begin to turn beneath the August moon?
30540Whence came that awful order?
30540Whence came the reproductive power which was able to carry on the species under such terrible antagonism as the fact of death?
30540Where did the alloy come in?
30540Where did the motive deteriorate?
30540Where gainest Thou Thy force upon me?
30540Where has it all gone to, Doctor?
30540Where is that advertisement of Grope County Iowa Mortgage?
30540Where was the central cell?
30540Where was the highly organized one of all my patients, who had baffled death for love of me?
30540Who and what are you, that make of death a bitterer thing than life can guess?
30540Who but me could understand?
30540Who could be?
30540Who ever thought anything could happen to the_ Doctor_?
30540Who had the clairvoyance or clairaudience, or the wonderful tip in the scale of health and disease, which causes such phenomena?
30540Who knew better than he what would be the professional significance of the circumstance that Dr. Thorne was seen intoxicated down town at midnight?
30540Who notices when the useful thing gets too full?
30540Who of us has not felt at the Play, the strong allegorical power in the coming of the first actress before the house?
30540Whom, for very rapture, did they melt to welcome?
30540Why, Doctor, are_ you_?"
30540Why, then, should he not the better love?
30540You''re in my way-- don''t you see?
30540do n''t you_ see_ me, Brake?"
30540exclaimed the broker sharply,"what is this?
30540said a low, sweet voice,"Doctor?"
39212And are you glad to see me, Gertie?
39212And do you care for me still?
39212And if you touched and handled them?
39212And see you?
39212And the same silk?
39212And what can I do, May?
39212And what is your name?
39212And will it?
39212And your famous knots?
39212Anything wrong?
39212Are there any letters from China?
39212Are those your daughters, sir?
39212Are you Kate''s friend?
39212Are you any relation to Major M----?
39212Are you coming to see us to- morrow?
39212Are you my little Gertie, darling?
39212Are you_ quite sure_,I asked,"that it is the same paper in which you wrapt it?"
39212But how about the arterial silk?
39212But how can I marry again unless he dies?
39212But if you heard them speak?
39212But where are your sisters?
39212But where is''Yonnie''?
39212But why should it make her ill?
39212But why? 39212 But your crest and seal?"
39212But_ when_ do you see me?
39212But_ when_?
39212Ca n''t you tell us who you are?
39212Can not you see?
39212Can you tell me why that gentleman left so suddenly?
39212Did I weep?
39212Did n''t I say it was in the church at----?
39212Did you know the spirit?
39212Do n''t you remember I cut it off just before I left this world?
39212Do you expect to see any friends to- night?
39212Do you know who_ I_ am?
39212Do you mean to tell me you are frightened of your medium? 39212 Florence, my darling,"I said,"is this_ really_ you?"
39212Good gracious,they said,"do n''t you know that that hotel was built on the site of the old barracks?
39212Had she any peculiarity about her feet?
39212Has not the coffin left my house?
39212Has not the death you spoke of taken place_ now_?
39212Have you come for me, my friend?
39212Have you ever seen anybody whom you recognized?
39212Have you ever seen your grave?
39212Have you never lost a relation of her age?
39212How can I tell this is_ your_ hand?
39212How could she come to me then?
39212How did you meet him?
39212How do you account for it?
39212How long will it take you to do so?
39212How was it your body was never found?
39212Is it my husband''s?
39212Is it you, Emily?
39212Is there anyone here who recognizes the name of''Bluebell''?
39212Is_ this_ the death you prophesied?
39212It is, indeed,said the man;"and it is in the church at----?"
39212It seems too marvellous to be true; but how_ can_ I disbelieve it, when_ here she is_?
39212Jones,she falters,"are you happy?"
39212Katieenjoyed my surprise, and asked me,"Ai n''t I prettier than Florrie now?"
39212May I take you in my arms?
39212My darling child,I said, as I embraced her,"why did you ask for''Bluebell''?"
39212Nor your seal been tampered with?
39212Of what was my chasuble made?
39212Pourquoi, Valerie?
39212QUI BONO?
39212Sha n''t I come soon, darling?
39212Stop a minute,I said,"this person whom you have alluded to so often-- have I ever met him?"
39212Surely you are not suffering still?
39212Then by what means,I argued,"do you know that I am Florence Marryat?
39212Then will you open the packet?
39212To which medium shall I go?
39212Was there foul play?
39212What a mother?
39212What are_ graves_ to us? 39212 What did you do to me last night?"
39212What do you make of it?
39212What do you wish me to do for you?
39212What is the matter with me, Sir John?
39212What is the matter, dear?
39212What is the matter?
39212What is your own name?
39212What is your real name?
39212What necktie?
39212What shall I call you, then?
39212What was his name?
39212What was his object in doing so?
39212What where you doing there?
39212What''s a dog?
39212What''s the matter, Peter?
39212When did he murder you?
39212Where am I to send?
39212Where did you meet him?
39212Where is my chasuble?
39212Where is your dress, Katie?
39212Whereabouts?
39212Who are you?
39212Who are you?
39212Who has told you of it?
39212Who is he, Dewdrop?
39212Who is it for?
39212Who_ can_ it be?
39212Whom have you seen?
39212Whom will you bring?
39212Why do you wish to know?
39212Will you come to me, darling?
39212Will you explain your meaning to me?
39212Will you fetch some one for us, Charlie?
39212Yes, I do recognize you, my dear child,I replied;"but what makes you come to me?"
39212You do n''t want to come back then, Ted?
39212You know her name, do n''t you?
39212Your knots have not been untied?
39212_ Forgive!_I repeated,"What have I to forgive?"
39212_ Not alive!_she echoed;"did n''t God make it?"
39212_ You do n''t recognize him?_she repeated in an incredulous tone,"then you must be very dull.
39212( At this juncture I asked,"How can I prevent it?")
39212("Did the trouble I had before your birth affect your spirit, Florence?")
39212("Do you ever see your father?")
39212("Do you know your sisters, Eva and Ethel?")
39212("What can I do to bring you nearer to me?")
39212Abrow?"
39212And did it ever strike you that there is something else recorded in the Bible?
39212And if Mr. Haxby has played a trick on me, as you suppose, why did you not discover the slit when you examined the box, before opening?"
39212And what_ good_ does it do?
39212And which, amongst the philosophers I have alluded to, could suggest a simpler mode of communication?
39212Are you quite happy?"
39212At this remark I laughed; and Mr. Abrow said,"Is she come for you, madam?
39212But do we not often ask the same question with respect to those still existent here below?
39212But how did I know of the occurrence the_ night before_ it took place?
39212But shall I gain it?"
39212But what has Religion given us instead?
39212But why afraid of an impossibility?
39212Ca n''t you stop them?"
39212Did you ever pay Johnson the seventeen pounds twelve you received for my saddlery?"
39212Did you suppose I was going to let you waste all your power with them, when I knew I was going home with you and Mrs. Ross- Church?
39212Do n''t you wish you had my garden?
39212Do you answer to the description?"
39212Do you know who I am?"
39212Do you see that it is Florrie lying there?"
39212Do you suppose that we poor mortals have been thus abandoned?
39212Do you think I have never seen you since that time, nor heard anything about you?
39212Do you think it is possible he may not have sailed after all?"
39212Does the cap fit?"
39212Fitzgerald?"
39212For whom do you come?"
39212Have they been ordered back?
39212Have they perished?
39212Have you been playing any of your tricks upon me?"
39212Have you quite forgotten?"
39212He kept on reiterating,"Who brought me here?
39212He replied,"Forgotten little Flo?
39212He says,''Is Mrs. Ross- Church at home?''
39212He seemed quite delighted to be able to manifest so indisputably like himself, and remarked more than once,"I''m not much like a girl now, am I, Ma?"
39212Her incessant questions of"What''s a father?"
39212How was that?"
39212How_ dared_ you send for me?"
39212I am sure when she let it fall again there must have been thirty or forty holes, and"Katie"said,"Is n''t that a nice cullender?"
39212I asked her,"Are you cold?"
39212I asked her,"When will my husband die?"
39212I asked the influence,"Who are you?"
39212I asked,"Are you_ quite_ sure that the packet could not be undone without your detecting it?"
39212I asked,"By what name shall we pray for him?"
39212I asked,"Is it my own coffin?"
39212I asked,"Who are you?"
39212I asked,"and for whom do you come?"
39212I exclaimed,"have you come back to see me at last?"
39212I exclaimed,"is anything wrong with her?"
39212I exclaimed,"where is your beard?"
39212I had never set eyes on him till that moment; but I said at once to Mr. Grossmith,"Do you see that officer in the undress uniform?
39212I said,"What''s the good of my coming here?
39212I said,"_ Who is this?_"and she whispered,"_ Florence_,"and laid her head down on my shoulder, and kissed my neck.
39212I said,"after all these years?"
39212I said,"why did you come to me last night in a green riding habit?"
39212I said;"ca n''t you speak to me to- night?"
39212I suppose you are a Catholic?"
39212I whispered,"Who is this?"
39212If I had not been convinced before, how could I have helped being convinced then?
39212If her story was untrue,_ who_ had so minutely informed her of a circumstance which it was to the interest of all concerned to keep to themselves?
39212In"Young Mr. Ainslie''s Courtship"he has written a story which is charming, witty?
39212Is it to be wondered at?
39212Is that the case?"
39212Is that the certificate you want?"
39212Is this logical?
39212Is this_ your_ room?
39212Is_ this_ belief in the existence of a tender Father and a blessed home waiting to receive them on the other side?
39212Johnny Cope, is it you?"
39212Lean,"she said, hurriedly, noting my surprise,"do n''t you know me?
39212May I take it away with me?"
39212Mr. Stacke said to me,"Who is this?"
39212Mrs. Holmes said to me,"Can not you remember_ anyone_ of that age connected with you in the spirit world?
39212Necromancy is a terrible word, is it not?
39212No cousin, nor niece, nor sister, nor the child of a friend?"
39212Presently a soft voice said,"Aunt Flo, do n''t you know me?"
39212Presently he turned to me and said, rather sheepishly,"Do you believe in this sort of thing?"
39212Presently she asked me,"Who are you?"
39212Prince Albert whispered to me,"Have you got anything?"
39212Several times he exclaimed with knitted brows,"What is the matter with that door?
39212Shall I ever hear from you again?"
39212She and I were quite alone in the drawing- room, and after a little while I whispered softly,"Bessie, are you asleep?"
39212She said to me,"Is that_ you_, Miss Marryat?"
39212The only question appears to be,"_ What_ is it, and_ whence_ does the power proceed?"
39212The priest started, but continued--"Who put it there?"
39212Then Mr. Eglinton said to Mr. Lee,"Have you any friend in the spirit- world from whom you would like to hear?
39212They were negroes without doubt; but how about the negro bouquet?
39212Towns prognosticated on that occasion) Page 201,"conducter"changed to"conductor"("Did you know the spirit?"
39212What are you doing?"
39212What becomes, in the face of this story, of the impassable gulf between the earthly and spiritual spheres?
39212What good do they do?
39212What good is it to have one''s faith in Immortality and another life confirmed in an age of freethought, scepticism and utter callousness?
39212What has become of them?
39212What is more wonderful than the hatching of an egg?
39212What is there to prevent your senses misleading you at the present moment?"
39212What were they born for?
39212When it came to my turn to question him, I said,"Do you see where I shall be to- morrow morning?"
39212When we asked him what he was doing, he turned to us and said,"Are you ladies Spiritualists?"
39212Wherein, then, lies the terror of the idea that these liberated spirits will have the privilege of roaming the universe as they will?
39212Who brought me here?"
39212Who can account for such things?
39212Who can say where it dwells, or that it is not permitted to return to this world, perhaps to live in it altogether?
39212Who does not remember the picture of the afflicted widow, for whom the medium has just called up the departed Jones?
39212Who has fixed the abode of the spirit after death?
39212Why ca n''t I speak at other places?
39212Why do you never write to me?"
39212Why has n''t Johnson received that money?"
39212Why should I be disbelieved?
39212Why should I be so?
39212Why should I?
39212Why should I?
39212Why should he expect to be more kindly welcomed by a spiritual one?
39212Why should it be?
39212Why should what was_ then_ not be_ now_, and what more harm is there to apply for their aid now than a few thousand years ago?
39212Why should you deceive him by saying so?
39212Why should you suppose that they were permitted on the earth then and not permitted now?
39212Why should you trust your senses in one case more than in the other?
39212Why were they ever permitted to come?
39212Why?
39212Will he die?"
39212Will you be my wife?''
39212Will you forgive too?"
39212Will you not come to me?"
39212Women would be told they should look after their own interests in the one case-- so why not in the other?
39212You are not afraid of me, are you?"
39212You''ll come here again, wo n''t you?"
39212_ What is it?_"There, my friends, I confess you stagger me!
39212_ What_ was it that had made this old lady foresee what no one else had seen?
39212_ whom_ have you there?
39212and I replied,"Yes; did n''t you send for me?"
39212and she said,"Would n''t you be cold if you had nothing but this white thing on?"
39212and the answer came back,"Do n''t you know me?
39212do n''t you know me?"
39212does it seem strange to you to hear your''baby''say things as if she knew them?
39212is it really you?
39212is n''t it lovely?
39212is this really you?"
39212mamma, why did you go away?--why did you go away?"
39212may I try if your hair is a wig?"
39212she exclaimed,"I said I would come with you and look after you-- didn''t I?"
39212to where?--to heaven?
39212what did Captain Gordon die of?"
39212what did you do that for?
39212what do you see?"
39279And how did you write your name on this piece of paper?
39279And you?
39279Are you happy?
39279Art thou there, spirit?
39279Bound?
39279But we shall perhaps have raps, at any rate?
39279But where is he?
39279Can we not then keep the golden mean between negation, which denies all, and credulity, which accepts all? 39279 Can you get a reply to a question I am going to ask you?"
39279Can you see to read this newspaper?
39279Did you hear?
39279Does it wish to communicate?
39279Faith? 39279 For what purpose?"
39279From what point did your balloon start?
39279Have you something to say to us?
39279How many numbers are there on the page that I have been looking at?
39279How shall we find it?
39279How should I dare,said she,"to enter your chamber during the night?"
39279I? 39279 If there is a hand there,"says M. Flammarion,"could it perhaps grasp an object?"
39279If you could take me in the evening--"But, madame, it is impossible--"Why? 39279 In a spontaneous somnambulistic state?"
39279In her normal state?
39279In what book?
39279In what country?
39279In what epoch did you live?
39279In what month did the event take place?
39279In what year did you die?
39279Is he willing to give his name?
39279Is it really you, Krishna?
39279Is there a single known example of movement produced without a force acting from the outside? 39279 Is there a spirit there?"
39279Is there a spirit there?
39279Of what color?
39279Oh,cries the king, in great surprise,"why do you alone confront me without bending the knee?"
39279On what shelf?
39279Sire,said the unknown,"must I be frank?
39279Stitched?
39279The aeronaut?
39279Then it is a materialization?
39279Then the volume is bound in boards?
39279Was it the chambermaid?
39279Was it the medium herself?
39279Was she in the trance state?
39279What do you mean by that?
39279What month?
39279What were you hunting for in our sleeping- room?
39279Where did you fall?
39279Where did you know me?
39279Where?
39279Who are you?
39279Why do you take my hand?
39279Will you please tell me why?
39279[ 46]Oh, what is he going to say to us?"
39279_ Astronomia._"Of what date?
39279''Can you tell me,''I asked him,''why the satellites of Uranus make their revolution from east to west and not from west to east?''
39279--"Did you see?"
39279--"To never make use of any remedies except those of the learned faculty of medicine, even should the patient burst and die of his disease?"
39279A moment after, returning in thought to our last séance, she says,"Were you completely satisfied?"
39279And how about last wills and testaments stolen away, and the last will of the dead ignored and their intentions purposely misinterpreted?
39279And how?
39279And if it did, might it not amuse itself thus?
39279And in a hundred thousand years?
39279And might this mirror also not receive and reproduce impressions, or influence, from a soul at a distance?
39279And those inverted dictations?
39279And was not the little centre- table, in its climbings acting under the physical and pyschical influences of the medium?
39279And( to take a simple instance), without departing from our common and normal condition of life, how is it that we raise our arm?
39279And, in that case, shall I get what I have been promised?"
39279And, in truth, why should not his mind as well as his fluidic force be haled out of his body and be exhausted in external work?
39279And, likewise, in the experience which Wallace has just cited, were not the dictated names latent in the brain of the questioner?
39279And, when the sombre curtains of night are let fall from the sky, can you tell whether you will see the dawn of another morn?"
39279Another person asked,"What is faith?"
39279Are they actual apparitions of the dead?
39279As to beings different from ourselves,--what may their nature be?
39279At the foot of the staircase she says,"What did M. Richet say to you?
39279At this moment the nurse entered and innocently asked,"Did you ring, sir?"
39279But do we understand any better how a spirit can have hands?
39279But how can she do this when she is all the while seated tranquilly in her chair?
39279But how could a being without acoustic nerve and without a tympanum hear?
39279But how could the will, conscious or unconscious, lift a piece of furniture of that weight?
39279But how?
39279But if the mind of the medium may liberate itself and appear in an extra- normal state, why might it not be this mind which acts?
39279But is it sufficient to explain all the observed phenomena?
39279But the others, the unconscious souls, are they more advanced the day after death than the day before?
39279But what is it that takes place within them?
39279But what is matter?
39279But what is the essential nature of gravitation?
39279But why so many oddities and incoherences?
39279But why so many puzzling incoherences and solecisms?
39279But why?
39279But, as it stands, it is necessary to stretch it considerably to make it explain the rappings( for who raps?
39279Can the observations be confirmed and justified by assuming the mind of the living merely as the active agents?
39279Can we explain the observed phenomena, or at least any portion of it?
39279Can we not possess at once the humility which becomes the weak and the dignity which becomes the strong?
39279Collective hallucination?
39279Could not Eusapia''s departure be put off?
39279Could you give us a proof of identity to show us that you are really the daughter of Victor Hugo, the wife of Charles Vacquerie?
39279D----?"
39279Did the beard really exist, or was it only a case of tactual and visual sensations?
39279Did this boy( he says)_ will_ what took place, as the theory of M. de Gasparin would require us to admit?
39279Do latent faculties of the human organism suffice to explain these intentional actions?
39279Do they belong to beings like ourselves?
39279Do we not find in the different ancient literatures, demons, angels, gnomes, goblins, sprites, spectres, elementals, etc?
39279Do we not have several distinct personalities in our dreams?
39279Do you not agree that the same executive power can give to the fluid the directions it gives to the muscles?
39279Do you remember the place where you died?"
39279Do you remember the year of your death?"
39279Does a poet always write verses of equal worth?
39279Does the will act directly upon the nerves?
39279Does this characteristic defect prove that hysteria does not exist?
39279Does this fact prove that the soul of the father of the experimenter actually performed the act with his hand?
39279Does this preparation consist in a modification that takes place in the operator, or in the inert body on which he acts, or in both?
39279Does this remarkable fact prove with certainty the action of a spirit other than that of the medium?
39279E----?"
39279Eusapia cries,"What is this that is passing over me?"
39279For in what does the attraction of the earth consist?
39279Has my memory played me false?"
39279Has space only three dimensions?
39279Have the writing mediums given any more convincing proofs of it than these?
39279Have you nothing more refined than this to say to us?"
39279How can this double, this fluidic body have the consistency of flesh and of muscles?
39279How can this thing be?
39279How can we help admitting, after the reading of this new official report, the following things?
39279How could it make a good man out of a bad one?
39279How could it make a shining light out of an intellectual nobody?
39279How does it act?
39279How explain this tangle of contradictions?
39279How is it that a particle of iron grips so firmly to the loadstone when brought near it?
39279How is it that a stick of sealing- wax or a lamp- chimney, when rubbed, attracts bits of paper or elder pith?
39279How is it that the thunderbolt strips the clothes from a man or a woman with its characteristic nonchalance?
39279How many legs and arms has she?
39279How many times do apparitions, or manifestations occur?
39279How old were you when you died?"
39279How shall we name the mystery?
39279How then can it enter into relation with our senses?
39279How?
39279I repeat it again, the muscles have not changed; then why this sudden incapacity?
39279I said aloud:"Am I to show how the alarm is operated?"
39279I said to the table, which had been put in movement by the little manoeuvre ordinarily used,"Does a spirit desire to communicate?"
39279I then ask the following questions:"Is it you, John, who came into our sleeping chamber last night?"
39279I therefore said to this intelligence,"Can you see the contents of this room?"
39279If they could dynamically appear, would they not act somewhat in this way?
39279If this were so, why did not muscular action lift the free leg as well as those fastened tight to the table?
39279If we admit the survival of individual souls, what becomes of these souls?
39279In fine what are we all seeking?
39279In five hundred years, in a thousand years, in two thousand years, what will these sciences of ours be?
39279In making my request, had I overstepped the limits of its powers?
39279In other words, will the_ animistic_ hypothesis suffice to solve the problem and to do away with the_ Spiritualistic_ hypothesis?
39279Is a man of genius always a man of genius?
39279Is it a doubling of her personality?
39279Is it a melange or combination of fluids?
39279Is it an auto- suggestion of hers or of the dynamic ensemble of the experimenters that creates a special force?
39279Is it an unheard- of thing that we transmit movement to matter that is outside of ourselves?
39279Is it another kind of invisible beings?
39279Is it not due to an intuitive perception of the presence of these invisible personages, or forces, against which they are helpless?
39279Is it not the same, moreover, in assemblies, large or small, in conferences, in salons, etc.?
39279Is it sufficient to entirely satisfy us?
39279Is it the condensation of a psychic_ milieu_ in the midst of which we live?
39279Is it the intelligence of the medium, of any of the other persons in the room, or is it an exterior intelligence?
39279Is it the medium who herself acts, in an unconscious manner, by means of an invisible force emanating from her?
39279Is it within us or outside of us?
39279Is it worth while at the present time to combat such a theory?
39279Is the composer of music master of his inspiration?
39279Is there not enough of the unknown in these mysterious phenomena?
39279Is this a mental transmission?
39279Is this thought simply that of the medium, of the chief experimenter, or the resultant of the thoughts of all the sitters united?
39279It is a hand, it is fingers, which have just pressed upon me so; but whose?
39279Let us call it, if you please,"telekinetsis"; but does that get us any farther along?
39279M----?"
39279May I hope that the reader will have got a clear idea in his mind of the experiments and observations set forth in the previous pages of this work?
39279May it not be possible that, in exerting ourselves, we give rise to a detachment of forces which acts exteriorly to our body?
39279Might it not be a_ double_ of the medium, a product of her psychic force?
39279Might it not be that the influence of the experimenters seated around the table puts in special movement the molecules of the wood?
39279Might not a molecular movement counterbalance the effect of gravity?
39279Movement of what?
39279Movements without contact._--Question:"Would the table now be moved without contact?"
39279Must he then admit an unknown disturbing force?
39279Must one have faith?
39279Nevertheless--?
39279Now are these forces spirits?
39279Now in what way is it possible for the contact of a light dress- stuff with the lower extremity of the foot of a table to assist in the levitation?
39279Of course, I allowed my arm to remain passive, and here is what I read:"You wish to know what our occupations are?
39279Or does there exist, around and about us, an intelligent medium or atmosphere, a kind of spiritual cosmos?
39279Or, finally, is it possible that the spirits of the dead may survive, and wander to and fro, and hold communication with us?
39279Perhaps our conscious or sub- conscious thoughts spoke in them?
39279Persons condemned to death, in consequence of judicial errors, and executed, should they not return to protest their innocence?
39279Question--"Can you see the book which I have just been looking at?"
39279S----?"
39279Some one asked,"Why have you dictated thus?"
39279Souls of the dead?
39279Still, after all, who can trace the limits of science?
39279Still, does that constitute proof of an independent spirit?
39279That is the fact: what is the best hypothesis to explain it?
39279The cause remaining identically the same, whence comes it that the effect varies to such a degree?
39279The question arises, Whence come these noises?
39279The question at present resolves itself into this: Does this dynamism belong wholly to the experimenters?
39279The question is, Do these facts exist, and do they enter into the category of known physical forces?
39279The table dictated as follows:[12]"When the shining sun scatters the stars, know ye, O mortal men, whether ye will see the evening of that day?
39279The victims of''93, should they not have returned to disturb the sleep of the conquerors?
39279Then why might not other radiations emanate from our hands and from our whole being?
39279This hand opens and closes three times, sufficiently long to permit me to say:"Whose hand is this?--yours, Monsieur Mangin?"
39279This last request of hers was as follows:"What has become of the soul of my father?"
39279W----?"
39279Was I going to be the cause of all the well- proved phenomena of which we have had testimony losing the half of their value?
39279Was it not an expression of the collective thought of the company?
39279Was it not imperative to prove to our opponents that they have not even the pretext of"a scientific impossibility"?
39279Was this apparition what it claimed to be?
39279We think: what is thought?
39279We walk: what is that organic act?
39279Were we going to have the inevitable indisposition of the rare tenor, on the day when he was to be heard on the stage?
39279What do you think of that?
39279What has become of it?
39279What have we seen?
39279What is it in the bullet that kills?
39279What is the absolute action of the soul or mind?
39279What is the brain?
39279What is the human body?
39279What is the intelligent force that directs this fluidic body and makes it act in such or such a way?
39279What is the mediator between mind and muscle?
39279What is this being?
39279What is this environment?
39279What is this intelligence?
39279What light will the study of these still unexplained forces shed upon the origin of the soul and upon the conditions of its survival?
39279What shall be done to remove their noble and pharisaical indolence?
39279What sustains the earth in space?
39279What was science a hundred years ago, two hundred years, three hundred?
39279What were you speaking of?"
39279What, then, sustains the knife, annihilates its weight?
39279When illusions, auto- suggestions, hallucinations, are eliminated, what remains?
39279Where are they?
39279Where did the puff of wind come from?
39279Whether I have reached absolute conviction as to the existence of one or of several_ spirits_?
39279Who is there so bold as to predict whither the scientific study of the new psychology will lead, and what the results will be?
39279Who knows whether my friends and I, who laugh at Spiritualism, are not in error, just as hypnotized persons are?
39279Who makes them?
39279Who of us is always master of his impressions and of his faculties?
39279Who or what adjusted this elastic spring?
39279Who or what wound up this watch once for all?
39279Who will say then, that there are not around us invisible beings?
39279Why amplify?
39279Why choose a table?
39279Why could it not sound the alarm of this watch?
39279Why do not children whose death is lamented by their parents ever come to console them?
39279Why do our dearest attachments seem to disappear forever?
39279Why do we wish to explain these phenomena at all hazards?
39279Why does not our involuntary impulse always make the table turn?
39279Why does the medium so often try to release her hand?
39279Why seek to press on so eagerly and prematurely into regions to which our poor powers can not yet attain?
39279Why should death bestow upon them any perfection?
39279Why should it make a genius out of an imbecile?
39279Why should it turn an ignoramus into a wise man?
39279Why should not our"fraud"always procure such a triumph?
39279Why should the souls of the dead amuse themselves in this way?
39279Why this dark cabinet?
39279Why, as a general thing, do we only succeed in effecting that which is mechanically impossible?
39279Will you allow one of us to put a hand_ upon_ yours, without touching the table?"
39279Would it not be reasonable to suppose that persons put to death in such a way that violence was not suspected would return to accuse the assassins?
39279Would there be anything impossible in this?
39279X., the medium?
39279Yes, in a hundred thousand years, what will human intelligence be?
39279Z?
39279[ 29] To what cause may we attribute the levitation of the table?
39279[ 39] Why was an astronomer chosen to give an account of the experiments at Genoa?
39279[ 43] Who of us can at will put himself into such and such a physical condition and such and such a moral state?
39279[ 4] Now how are these levitations and movements produced?
39279[ 89] What is it that is active in us in telepathic phenomena?
39279[ 94] But why are there manifestations the result of the grouping of five or six persons around the table?
39279_ Reflection, reflex action?_ That is perhaps the true expression.
39279and those in which we are obliged to skip every other letter?
39279is not_ doubt_ the most_ certain_ result of mediumistic experiments?)
39279or the ability to know, two days in advance, of the death of a person about whom one was not thinking at all?
39279why are you not present with us?
22593''Did you recognize the spirit?'' 22593 ''Does any one recognize this"party"?''
22593''How many bars are in it?'' 22593 ''Who are you?''
22593''Who are you?'' 22593 A male psychic?
22593Absorbing business, is n''t it?
22593After she passed, my friend opened her eyes as before, clearly, smilingly, and said,''Have you had enough?'' 22593 After that superb test, why did n''t he frankly say the discarnate had been proved?"
22593Am I right?
22593And how about your own subconscious self? 22593 And not in me?
22593And this was done?
22593Are n''t there any fixed rules to the game?
22593Are n''t we sitting right?
22593Are there other spirits present?
22593Are there other''spirits''here?
22593Are you present,''Wilbur''?
22593Are you satisfied with the conditions?
22593Are you sure the writing was there as she drew the slate out?
22593Are_ you_ the only one competent to study these facts?
22593As a test?
22593Because he is a sceptic?
22593But how will he account for the difference in size between Eusapia''s hands and the_ large black hand_ that she saw and felt?
22593But were they? 22593 But what about the voices?"
22593But where does all this lead to if not to spiritualism?
22593But who are you?
22593But your mind is perfectly normal?
22593Ca n''t you speak?
22593Ca n''t you tell us about it more particularly?
22593Ca n''t you write?
22593Can it be that the good old theory of the permanence of matter is a gross and childish thing? 22593 Can you deceive''them''?"
22593Candidly, Garland, what is your own belief?
22593Could you see this hand?
22593Did he get the records?
22593Did he manufacture a double out of you?
22593Did it succeed?
22593Did n''t Crookes afterward repudiate that early report?
22593Did she look like the medium?
22593Did some one blow on my hands? 22593 Did the medium look at the music?"
22593Did the writing appear to be supernormal?
22593Did you accept his invitation?
22593Did you mean you did n''t want Mrs. Fowler unaccounted for?
22593Do n''t you believe in them?
22593Do they speak to you directly?
22593Do you always have that sensation?
22593Do you believe in the guides?
22593Do you ever have any perception of a physical connection between yourself and the sitters?
22593Do you feel any motion in your thread, Fowler?
22593Do you feel faint?
22593Do you intend to convey that they considered the medium dishonest?
22593Do you mean that the man and the ghost were united in some way?
22593Do you mean that they did this to punish you for your peeping?
22593Do you mean that you will believe in spirits?
22593Do you mean they sound like actual people?
22593Do you mean to say spirits speak through that horn?
22593Do you mean to say that this''Katie King''phantom actually_ talked_ with the people in the room? 22593 Does he find this sandwiching of the sexes helpful?"
22593Does he not say that, in spite of all his proof, he will not even hazard an affirmation of the phenomena?
22593Does this theory cover the whispering personalities we heard? 22593 Essentials such as what?"
22593Even in the''Katie King''episode?
22593Fowler,I said,"are you controlling your wife''s hands?"
22593Garland, will you purvey another psychic and conduct the pursuit?
22593Has she been in the business long?
22593Has that ever been done?
22593Have you ever had any convincing evidence of this psychic force-- such as movement of objects without contact?
22593Have you ever seen it done?
22593Have you ever seen these forces at work?
22593Have you ever witnessed any materializations?
22593Have you tried to secure more of the music?
22593How could Dolly have known that he held his pen in just that way? 22593 How do we go at it?"
22593How do you account for a thing of that sort?
22593How do you account for it, Miller?
22593How do you account for it? 22593 How do you feel?"
22593How does she do it?
22593How does the scientific gentleman explain it?
22593How was she dressed?
22593How? 22593 I gently asked:''Who are you?
22593I thought from what you had said that these''dark shows''were of no value?
22593If you do not believe in tacks, will you believe in the touch of your fingers?
22593Is anybody present?
22593Is it the bishop?
22593Is n''t it incredible? 22593 Is n''t the latest word of science to the effect that matter like the human body is only a temporary condition of force?"
22593Is she a psychic?
22593Is she married?
22593Is the house ready for the question?
22593Is the psychic speaking to us,he asked,"or are these voices independent of her?"
22593Is there anything sacred in error? 22593 It is the clay,"I said, quickly;"will you make the impression of a face?"
22593Just who is Bottazzi?
22593May I come forward?
22593Mrs. Smiley was about that age, was n''t she?
22593Must we keep still?
22593Now will some one sing''Annie Laurie,''or any other sweet, low song? 22593 Now, just to show you that the psychic is not doing this, ca n''t you hold up a book between me and the light?
22593Now, which of us did that?
22593Oh, come now, you do n''t expect us to believe a miracle like that, even on your serious statement?
22593Ross laughed, and the''influence,''thrusting her face close to his, blurted out, menacingly:''Do n''t know me, hey? 22593 Sands?"
22593Shall I change with Miller?
22593Shall I go now?
22593Suppose it''s all the work of an''astral''who ca n''t abide the light?
22593Suppose you had been able to find that musical fragment, would it have converted you?
22593Tell us more about yourself,''Wilbur''?
22593That is good talk,said Miller in reply,"but the question is, Does he really experiment in that condition of mind?
22593That would seem to prove a sort of universal mind reservoir, would n''t it?
22593The first requisite is a small table--"Why a table?
22593The question with me is not, Do these forms exist? 22593 The word means feeling at a distance, does it not, professor?"
22593Then why go on? 22593 Was this the climax of his series?
22593We have heard of Lombroso, but who is Paladino?
22593Well, Garland, what do you intend to do with the facts obtained this afternoon? 22593 Well, how will you explain this performance?
22593Well, now,said Cameron,"the practical question is this: are we to go on with our investigation?"
22593Well, what do you suggest as the proper method for the society?
22593Well, what luck?
22593Were not the notions of Galileo and Darwin also subverting?
22593Were there three doctors present?
22593Were you conscious of groaning and gasping?
22593What I would like to know at this point,Harris quickly interposed,"is this: were the fingermarks lined like Bottazzi''s or like the medium''s?"
22593What about it? 22593 What about that, Miller?"
22593What about the other messages? 22593 What about the process?"
22593What are you reading from?
22593What are you saying? 22593 What did Alexander''s family think of the music?"
22593What did it look like?
22593What do you do with that?
22593What do you know about this learned doctor?
22593What do you mean by speaking?
22593What do you mean by that?
22593What do you mean by''physiological determinism''?
22593What do you mean by''the playing of a closed piano''?
22593What do you wish to imply?
22593What does he mean? 22593 What does she do?"
22593What happened to you?
22593What happened? 22593 What happened?"
22593What have you been doing to me?
22593What is her''phase,''as you call it?
22593What is she about now?
22593What is she talking about?
22593What is telepathy, then?
22593What is the matter?
22593What is your reason for that?
22593What was Blake''s conclusion? 22593 What was that work?"
22593What was the psychic doing all this time?
22593What was the''Katie King''experience?
22593What were the conditions? 22593 What''s the matter, Dolly?"
22593What_ is_ a real hand?
22593Where is the medium?
22593Where is the pad? 22593 Where was Paladino meanwhile?"
22593Who are you? 22593 Who are you?"
22593Who is Maxwell?
22593Who is it?
22593Who is she?
22593Who''s doing that? 22593 Why are you doing this?"
22593Why attempt to reduce her manifestations to natural magic? 22593 Why did n''t these wonders take place in our presence?"
22593Why did n''t you bring her to dinner?
22593Why disturb her belief in the spirit world?
22593Why illusory?
22593Why not accuse the arch- conspirator of us all, our director?
22593Why not? 22593 Why should you and Brierly be so favored?"
22593Why?
22593Why?
22593Why?
22593Why?
22593Will you be able to do something more for us?
22593Will you tell me how that final movement was made? 22593 Wo n''t you tell me who you were on the earth- plane?"
22593Wo n''t you tell us all about it?
22593Would you have us accept the word of any one man when that word contradicts the experience of all mankind?
22593Would''they''bat me if I were to peek?
22593You admit being a prestidigitator?
22593You are sure the piano was closed?
22593You believe''they''are spirits?
22593You did n''t see anything like that, did you?
22593You had that experience, did you not?
22593You mean, of course, that some of these highly cultured ladies would develop hysteria?
22593You must be very tired, poor thing?
22593You sometimes seem to go far away, do you not?
22593You were pretty well convinced that night in your study, were n''t you?
22593_ All right._"What are you going to do for us to- night? 22593 _ I was a soldier._""In the Civil War?"
22593_ I was invalided home to Jefferson City, and passed out there._"How do you happen to be''guide''to this little woman?
22593_ I''m doing it._"How can you see?
22593_ Wilbur Thompson._"Oh, it is you, is it? 22593 _ Yes._""On which side?"
22593_ Yes; many._"Ca n''t''they''write their names on the pad?
22593''"[ 2]"I wonder why the spirits are always clothed in that luminous gauze?"
22593''Are you controlling the psychic''s hand?''
22593''As many as sixty?''
22593''But the message concerning your mother can be tested, can it not?''
22593''Ca n''t you keep time while I whistle?''
22593''Can a man lift himself by his boot- straps?''
22593''Can the subconscious self act in several places at once?''
22593''Can you tell me the places?''
22593''Do you know what you''ve said?''
22593''Forty?''
22593''How many persons were there?''
22593''How, then, can we consider it to be a spirit hand-- an immaterial hand-- when a wire- netting can stop it?''
22593''Oh, where am I?''
22593''Presently she asked:"What is that round object?
22593''Shall I publish it?''
22593''To whom does this hand belong?''
22593''What are you all doing here?
22593''What do you want done with this fragment,"Isinghere"?''
22593''What do you want of me?''
22593''Why do you wilfully blind your eyes?
22593''Wilbur,''can you put the cone back on the table?"
22593A light, fumbling noise followed, and I called out:"Is every hand in the circle accounted for?"
22593A moment later she opened her eyes, and, smiling rather wanly, asked of me:"Did anything happen?"
22593A.''?"
22593Accepting this law as proved by our illustrious fellow- experimenters abroad, are you ready to try again along the lines they have marked out?"
22593Aksakof told him all he needed to do was to go round the corner, did n''t he?"
22593Almost immediately faint raps came upon the table, and I asked:"Are you there,''Mitchell''?"
22593Am I right, Miller?"
22593And Mrs. Quigg, much shaken, called out:"Frank Howard, are you doing this?"
22593Another little colloquy: Editor:"Shall I draw the bar where it belongs?"
22593Are we not forced to conclude that the table was moved by some supernormal expenditure of force?
22593Are we sitting right?"
22593Are we sitting right?"
22593Are you addressing me?"
22593Are you conscious of being in the upper part of the room, for instance, and do you see your body below you?''
22593Are you not holding one hand and Miss Brush the other?
22593Are you still with us,''Wilbur''?"
22593Are you still with us,''Wilbur''?"
22593Are you sure of Blake?"
22593As I paused, Harris said:"Was all that in his report to the Royal Society?"
22593At last I asked,"Has any one here lost a little child?"
22593At length she recovered her voice and asked,''Are you speaking to me?''
22593At the end of the song I asked, matter- of- factly:"Are the conditions right?
22593But is n''t that a staggering hypothesis?
22593Ca n''t you do something decisive at this moment?"
22593Ca n''t you pluck the bass strings?''
22593Ca n''t you prove that she is independent of your voice?
22593Ca n''t you see how necessary it is that we should proceed with her full consent?
22593Ca n''t you tell us your name?''
22593Can you bring that to me,''Wilbur''?"
22593Can you do that for me?"
22593Can you imagine any reasonable person believing such things?"
22593Can you raise the table?"
22593Can you tell me who they were?''
22593Can you tell us,''Wilbur''?"
22593Composer:"_ No._"Editor:"There?"
22593Composer:"_ Yes, if you please._"Editor:"Here?"
22593Composer:"_ Yes._"Editor:"Is the G- sharp, then, to be regarded as a suspension?"
22593Could any trickster perform in the dark with such precision and gentleness?
22593Did Bottazzi get these things done?"
22593Did anything happen?"
22593Did he put the same value upon it all that you did?"
22593Did she get the books with her feet?
22593Do the dead tell tales, after all?
22593Do you object?"
22593Does Sir William Crookes say that?"
22593Does he mean that Eusapia performed all these movements with her''astral hands''?"
22593Does it not seem to you a case of the''psychic force,''such as Crookes and Richet describe?"
22593Does she perform for a living?
22593Dolly, what have you been doing?"
22593Finally I asked:"Are you still with us,''Wilbur''?"
22593Fowler struck in:"But what will you do with materializations such as Dr. Richet studied at the Villa Carmen in Algiers?
22593Garland?"
22593Garland?"
22593Have I been asleep?"
22593Have they all been on the physical plane?"
22593Have you had other messages written in that wonderful way?"
22593Here I interposed:"The only question that concerns me at this stage is: Does the table tip and the brush really fly?
22593How about it, Garland?"
22593How about it, Miller?"
22593How about the books?
22593How about the broad hand which I saw?
22593How about the candy- box which was moved from a point seven feet away?
22593How can a thought in the brain of man contract a set of muscles and lift a cannon- ball?
22593How can letters within closed slates be formed so beautifully and so precisely without some form of seeing?"
22593How can she possibly reach and handle that cone?"
22593How could it be correct otherwise?_"Another example.
22593How could she slip from her bonds?
22593How did you happen to get into this shadow world?"
22593How do you account for that, Miller?"
22593How do you account for the writing?
22593How do you feel?"
22593How do you feel?"
22593How does she handle the cone?
22593How does she write on the pads on the table, and how does she whisk them away?
22593How else could the cone be handled with such precision as was shown at your house, Miller?
22593I am inclined to think they are produced by some force within ourselves--''""Just what does he mean by that?"
22593I asked:"Who are you?
22593I glanced about the table at my silent listeners, and added:"Could anything be more dramatic than this sad farewell?
22593I meant to take it away, but did I?
22593I met him twice._''""''Can you tell me where?''
22593I say facts, for I am opposed to the theory._''""Did Lombroso say that?"
22593I then asked:"''Wilbur,''do you want me to change with Fowler and control Mrs. Fowler''s hands?"
22593I was a brigadier- general._""Where were you killed?"
22593I was so badly off mentally that I do n''t know whether I did or not._''Whereupon Blake said:''Do you mean Schumann the publisher?''
22593I''m like the old man''s chickens( you''ve heard the story?
22593If it were a mere matter of deception, would there not be thousands at the trade?
22593In pursuit of this idea, I then asked:''Are you conscious of your body which you have left behind?
22593Is every hand accounted for?"
22593Is it Mrs. R., of Vermont?"
22593Is it not rather suggestive that the number of practising mediums does not materially increase?
22593Is it something analogous to the pteropod of an amoeba, which projects itself from the body, then retreats into it only to reappear in another place?
22593Is it the hand of a monstrous long arm which liberates itself from the medium''s body, then dissolves, to afterward"materialize"afresh?
22593Is she nice?
22593Is that what you mean?"
22593Is this just?
22593Is this_ all_ he is willing to affirm?"
22593Is''Wilbur''your surname?"
22593May I do so?"
22593Miller was silent for a moment, then asked:"You''re sure it was done after you took the slates in hand?"
22593Miller, will you watch me?"
22593Miller?"
22593Mitchell would like to have you tie the threads to the legs of the table._""Are you''Maud?''"
22593Mrs. Quigg caught me up on this:"What do you mean by''traditions of mediumship''?"
22593Mrs. Quigg sharply queried,"Whom are you talking to?"
22593Nevertheless, how many"_ knowing_ people and_ savans_"have formed a judgment on phenomena after séances such as this one?''"
22593Remember Geny?
22593Remember the night on the door- step?
22593Shall I try?"
22593She brought books, shook the table, touched us-- How?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Suppose Flammarion is right?
22593Suppose that the psychic can extend her arms beyond their normal proportions?
22593Suppose the whisper were only a bit of clever ventriloquism, how did the psychic secure the information conveyed in this dialogue?
22593Tap, tap, tap--"_Yes._""Are we sitting right?"
22593The answer was but a sibilant sigh:"_ Yes._""Who are you?"
22593The following colloquy ensued: Editor:"Does the piece begin with the tonic chord of A?"
22593Then all turned to Miller as though to ask:"What do you think of that?"
22593There was a loud outcry:"What do you mean?
22593Thereupon I said:''Ca n''t you play a tune?''
22593Thus far to- night we have_ proved_ that Mrs. Smiley is not concerned with the drumming on the cone, have n''t we?"
22593To sustain this contention, let me ask if you have ever read the account of Sir William Crookes''s experiments with psychic force?"
22593Two or three times the whispering voice called,''_ Is Garland here?_''and once it asked:''_ What is Garland doing?
22593Two or three times the whispering voice called,''_ Is Garland here?_''and once it asked:''_ What is Garland doing?
22593Was it light?"
22593Was the woman crushed?"
22593We sat in silence for a few moments, and at last I asked:"Is any spirit present?"
22593Were they all disappointing?"
22593What about the tacks, the threads, the tapes that bound her?
22593What about''Wilbur''and''Maudie''?"
22593What are your sensations now?"
22593What can you do for us to- night?"
22593What did you do on the earth?"
22593What do you want us to do-- announce ourselves converted?"
22593What does he mean to infer?"
22593What have you been about?"
22593What is it?"
22593What is your verdict, Mr. Cocksure Scientist?"
22593What kind of a person are we to expect?"
22593What then?
22593What time is it?"
22593What time is it?"
22593What will you do with the photographs of the spectre of the helmeted soldier which he obtained under what he declares were test conditions?"
22593What you going to do about it?''
22593When and where shall we meet?"
22593When this had finished, I said,"Did you succeed?"
22593Where does she live?"
22593Where''s Jim?''
22593Which of us is doing this?"
22593Who is she?
22593Who is she?
22593Who knows but the conclusions of Venzano and Morselli, of Bottazzi and Foà, have opened new vistas in human nature?
22593Whose is the eye that directs this instrument?
22593Why did n''t he handcuff her, or nail her down?
22593Why doubt that which would comfort you?''
22593Why not admit the truth?
22593Why not perform in the light?"
22593Why not stop now and save ourselves the trouble of investigation?"
22593Will I like her?"
22593Will she be able to discharge a gold- leaf electroscope without touching it?"
22593Will she be able to illuminate a screen treated with platino- cyanide of barium?
22593Will the medium be able to impress a photographic plate?
22593Will you be able to permit conditions more convincing?"
22593Will you be one of them?"
22593Will you do that,''Wilbur''?"
22593Will you permit that?"
22593Will you permit this test?"
22593Wo n''t somebody help me?
22593Would n''t our deserters be chagrined if we should now proceed to enjoy a really startling session?"
22593Would that necessarily make the spiritist theory untenable?
22593You are not doing this, Miller?"
22593You believe in her?"
22593You do not stand out against wireless telegraphy or the Röntgen ray?"
22593You have had other sittings with her, have n''t you?
22593_ Tap, tap, tap._"Are you moving the table?"
22593_ Tap, tap, tap._"To get it out of reach of the psychic?"
22593at times represented an opposing will?"
22593but, What produces them?
22593had_ spoken_ these things to you face to face-- what then?"
22593he asked--''this hand, a half a yard away from the medium''s head, seen while her visible hands are rigorously controlled by her two neighbors?
22593queried the painter;"who is Sands?"
22593questioned Fowler--"that he disputed certain passages with Blake, and that he finally carried his point in opposition to every mind in the circle?"
22593replied; and I said:''And you want the manuscript recalled from Schumann and given to Smart?''
22593she cried out, and Mrs. Cameron stared at her in blank dismay as she asked,"Are you talking to me?"
22593turned toward me and asked, with anxious haste:''_ Where''s Garland?_''''I am here,''I answered.
36312''Hath she brought the book to you( the accusing girls)?'' 36312 ''How can you say you know nothing, when you see these tormented and accuse you?''
36312''Is this folly to see these so hurt?'' 36312 ''Of what sin?''
36312''Sarah Good, do you not see now what you have done? 36312 ''Sarah Good, what evil spirit have you familiarity with?''
36312''Well, sir, would you have me confess what I never knew?'' 36312 ''What did you think of the actions of others before your sisters came out?
36312''What do you say to this?'' 36312 ''What do you say; are you guilty?''
36312''What do you think ails them?'' 36312 ''What have you done to these children?''
36312''What_ creature_ do you employ, then?'' 36312 ''Why did you go away muttering from Mr. Parris''s house?''
36312''Why, do you not think it is witchcraft?'' 36312 Can you not,"we asked,"find him through her?"
36312How did you afflict folks? 36312 I do not hurt poor children?
36312O, star- eyedFancy,"hast thou wandered there, To waft us back the message of"--_credulity_?
36312Sarah Good being then asked, if that_ she_ did not hurt them, who did it? 36312 She_ pretended_ that the evil[?]
36312TheWhy have you done it?"
36312Were you to serve the devil ten years? 36312 What does she eat or drink?"
36312Who is it then?
36312Who made you a witch? 36312 Why did you say the magistrates''and ministers''eyes were blinded,"and"you would open them?
36312Why did you say you would show us? 36312 Why make an alternative?
36312_ Q._ At first beginning with them, what then appeared to you? 36312 _ Q._ But what did they say unto you?
36312_ Q._ Did he ask you no more but the first time to serve him? 36312 _ Q._ Did you ever go with these women?
36312_ Q._ Did you go with the company? 36312 _ Q._ Did you never practice witchcraft in your own country?
36312_ Q._ Did you see them do it now while you are examining( being examined)? 36312 _ Q._ Do you never see something appear in some shape?
36312_ Q._ Elizabeth Hubbard, who hurts you? 36312 _ Q._ How long since you began to pinch Mr. Parris''s children?
36312_ Q._ Is that the same man that appeared before to you, that appeared last night and told you this? 36312 _ Q._ Susan Sheldon, who hurts you?
36312_ Q._ Tell us true; how many women do you use to come when you ride abroad? 36312 _ Q._ What appearance, or how doth he appear when he hurts them?"
36312_ Q._ What clothes doth the man appear unto you in? 36312 _ Q._ What did he say you must do more?
36312_ Q._ What do you say to this you are charged with? 36312 _ Q._ What familiarity have you with the devil, or what is it that you converse withal?
36312_ Q._ What hath Osburn got to go with her? 36312 _ Q._ What made you hold your arm when you were searched?
36312_ Q._ What other creatures have you seen? 36312 _ Q._ What other likenesses besides a man hath appeared unto you?
36312_ Q._ What? 36312 _ Q._ When did he say you must meet together?
36312_ Q._ Who was that appeared to Hubbard as she was going from Proctor''s? 36312 _ Q._ With what shape, or what is_ he_ like that hurts them?
36312_ Q._ Would they have had you hurt the children last night? 36312 _ Q._''What did it propound to you?''
36312_ Q._''What lying spirit is this? 36312 _ Q._''What lying spirit was it, then?''
36312_ Tituba, the Indian woman, examined March 1, 1692.__ Q._ Why do you hurt these poor children?
36312''Are you certain this is the woman?''
36312''Are you not willing to tell the truth?''
36312''Do you think they are bewitched?''
36312''Doth this woman hurt you?''
36312''Have you made no contract with the devil?''
36312''Have you made no contract with the devil?''
36312''How came they thus tormented?''
36312''How comes your appearance just now to hurt these?''
36312''How do I know?''
36312''Then,''said I,''how can all these things be done by him?''
36312''What God do you serve?''
36312''What commandment is it?''
36312''What do you laugh at?''
36312''What is it you say when you go muttering away from persons''houses?''
36312''What psalm?''
36312''Who do you employ, then, to do it?''
36312''Who do you employ, then?''
36312''Who do you serve?''
36312''Who do you think is their master?''
36312''Who was it, then, that tormented the children?''
36312''Why do you hurt these children?''
36312''Why, who was it?''

36312:"What does she eat or drink?
36312A trifle, was that?
36312And especially who"improved her tongue to express what was never in her mind"?
36312And how was it with the others?
36312And what is involved in that?
36312And when was he first seen?
36312And which boy did he see?
36312And who was_ the black man_?
36312And whose emotions mantled her face with smiles in the stern and frowning presence of"authority"?
36312And why"_ greater_ cruelty"?
36312And why?
36312And why?
36312Are expert tricksters accustomed to disown their own powers to astonish?
36312Are the results of your course to be lamented?
36312But is there probability either that he dictated any part of her testimony, or that she fabricated anything?
36312But seemingly the court could not wait for an answer, because, in the same breath, it asked, What did your visitant tell you?
36312But the magistrate seemingly doubted its truth or its sufficiency, for he next asked,--"_ Q._ Why have you done it?
36312But the_ cui bono_, the what good?
36312But what did her master require her to"stand to"?
36312But what did she say by way of confessing or accusing?
36312But which, among the human faculties, did that delusion spell- bind, stultify, and make sanguinary?
36312But who was genuine author of playful proceedings at a time when the business was so grave and solemn?
36312But why she?
36312But why to Thomas Putnam''s?
36312But with what eyes?
36312By whom was it seen?
36312Can any one doubt that she conceived herself to be speaking to the same being, though in dog form, that she had yielded to before in form like a man?
36312Can reflection find her competent to all that was ascribed to her?
36312Community called such matters witchcrafts, and why should not these children do the same?
36312Confessed to what?
36312Could Ann Foster''s gray- haired man have been Tituba''s white- haired visitant-- the originator and enactor of Salem witchcraft?
36312Could firm, true men, holding then prevalent beliefs, have done less?
36312Dadie thought I spoke, and said,''What''m?''
36312Did he believe that_ demons_ acted within her, held her back, and made her something like three times heavier than she normally was?
36312Did he offer you any paper?
36312Did he say you must write anything?
36312Did he see, hear, and feel all that he testifies to?
36312Did he tell you who they were?
36312Did such observable effects occur as Mather described?
36312Did supernal prescience select and post agents peculiarly fitted to perform the witchcraft tragedy?
36312Did the historian himself who quoted those words and let them appear to be accurately descriptive of facts, believe that they were such?
36312Did they, or did other agencies, produce the mysterious disorders which seemed to devil- dreading beholders like diabolical obsessions?
36312Did you think it was witchcraft?''
36312Do such feats bespeak their origin in_ delirium tremens_?
36312Do you get those cats, or other things, to do it for you?
36312Does he believe that such things were actually performed either by or through her?
36312Does he believe that such were the literal facts even in appearance?
36312Does the hugeness which debars them from entering contracted domiciles to- day prove their existence to be but fabulous?

36312Doth the devil tell you that he hurts them?"
36312Elizabeth Knap''s visitant-- the one to whom she said,"What cheer, old man?"
36312Especially do they ever spontaneously avow that the devil or any_ evil spirit_ is helping them?
36312For who, in any community, would ever count one_ a saint_ who manifested such offensive qualities to any great extent as he ascribed to her?
36312For,--"_ Q._ What did you say to him, then, after that?
36312From whom came the things put forth through her which"she knew nothing of"?
36312From whom came the tones, if not the words, of languages which this possessed girl had never learned?
36312Had he met Tituba?
36312Had it less sagacity than his own?
36312Had she divulged her knowledge, what heed would have been given to the word of the ignorant slave?
36312Had she made a_ covenant_ with the devil, or any devotee of his?
36312Has he left record of a series of facts, or only of fictions which he set forth as facts?
36312Has the Great Permitter of the many sufferings which war has engendered been"shockingly wicked"?
36312Hath the devil ever deceived you and been false to you?''
36312He said,''Miss Perkins, can I go out and see who''s there?''
36312He was stating facts, which, in his apprehension, were harmless, and why should he not let them out?
36312Her patients promiscuously?
36312His only question was, did the thing occur?
36312How can the occurrence of such facts be explained, or rather_ who_ produced them?
36312How could he?
36312How did the historian account for such-- for those seeming"more than natural"?
36312How did you set your hand to it?
36312How else can thought inhere?"
36312How far have you complied with Satan whereby he takes this advantage of you?''
36312How far up, down, around, do natural forces and agents extend and operate?
36312How much beneficence did one then need to perform before public sentiment, would reprobate its author?
36312How much did this import?
36312How old are you now?
36312How_ know_ that she or her case was the then all- engrossing topic?
36312How_ know_ that their manner was expressive of any particular topic of conversation?
36312Hutchinson says,"The most remarkable occurrence in the colony in the year 1655[ 1656?]
36312Hutchinson states that Mr. Dane himself"is_ tenderly_ touched in several of the examinations, which"( the tenderness?)
36312I presently asked her, what letter?
36312I said to him,''Can you say your lesson?''
36312If he resembled an Indian, is not the inference very fair that he was an Indian?
36312If there be a fixed limit to nature''s domain, where is it?
36312If we presume( and why may we not?)
36312If_ entranced_, was the girl, then, a voluntary seer and speaker?
36312Indeed, how can any other than perverted vision see harm in the girl''s filial compact?
36312Indeed, who among men could possibly have taught or helped her to prophesy correctly, to hear the far distant, or to embody a spirit child?
36312Is crabbed temper there?
36312Is ignorance of, or is knowledge of, nature''s forces and inhabitants the greater blessing?
36312Is it possible that the mind of man should be capable of such strong prejudices as that a suspicion of fraud should not immediately arise?
36312Is she a witch or a cunning woman?
36312Is slander there?
36312Is that idea conveyed in calling her a successful practitioner?
36312Is there only one kind of mental power throughout the whole animal kingdom, differing only in intensity and range of manifestation?
36312Is this the woman?''
36312Little Sarah was asked,--"How long have you been a witch?
36312May not natural endowments sometimes be ample qualification for admitting the evolvement through one''s form of very great marvels?
36312Modern wisdom(?)
36312Most seriously we ask whether forces which can be and have been measured by palpable scales, are"beyond the legitimate boundaries of human knowledge?"
36312Mrs. Morse''s possession of their secret was so unaccountable that the husband in astonishment asked,"Is she a witch or a cunning woman?"
36312My husband presently said, What?
36312Now, then, there are some persons_ so constituted_ that they perceive these shadows(?)
36312On that Wednesday night"Abigail first became ill.""_ Q._ Where was your master then?
36312Or the second time?
36312Perhaps he did; and yet on what rational grounds could he?
36312She cried out to him,"What cheer, old man?"
36312She had penetration enough to_ conjecture_"( why say_ conjecture_?)
36312Should they be called outgrowths from"fraud and imposture,"as they were by another?
36312Should they be left unadduced and unalluded to, as they were by one elaborate historian?
36312The external or the internal one-- the boy material or the boy spiritual?
36312The girl''s confession?
36312The outer or the inner-- his material or his spiritual ones?
36312The question was repeated thus:"_ Why_ did you never visit these afflicted persons?"
36312The same question, partially, is up to- day-- viz., Can any but willing devotees to Satan be used in the processes of spirit manifestations?
36312The_ confessions_(?)
36312The_ only_ charge_ proved_?
36312Then what did you answer him?
36312Then why write?
36312Therefore our fathers would with conscious propriety ask any one whom they supposed to be under"an evil hand,""Who hurts you?"
36312This begs the primal question, viz.,_ Did_ he undertake to torment them?
36312This weakness(?)
36312To whom can they refer, if not to spirits of some grade?
36312Was clear statement of what its senses had witnessed evidence of its credulity?
36312Was he a faithful and true witness, or not?
36312Was it causing iron to swim?
36312Was it foolish in him to state the truth?
36312Was it only her_ pretense_?
36312Was it so?
36312Was its belief in the testimony of its own senses a proof of its_ credulity_?
36312Was she so generous as to give credit to another, and that other an"evil spirit,"for help which she did not receive?
36312Was that a condition of things in which the younger two would join the elder in sly additions to the distress around them?
36312Was that a_ deluded_ court, representative of a_ deluded_ people, which condemned Margaret Jones to"hang high on the gallows- tree"?
36312Was that a_ playful_ moment?
36312Was the former generation less truthful than his own?
36312Was their perception of him nothing more than the product of the imagination of the witnesses?
36312Was there any_ fraud_?
36312Was there anywhere a prior institution of that kind?
36312Were Braybrook''s statements true as to the main fact?
36312Were all the declarations false?
36312Were all those youthful females shockingly wicked?
36312Were horses, vehicles, and drivers, or were even saddle- horses, regularly at the command of such girls for conveyance to and from such meetings?
36312Were its senses less reliable?
36312Were the external senses of a whole community so disordered that the character and dimensions of sensible acts were grossly misapprehended?
36312Were these doings by Mather foolish and useless?
36312What amount of success in alleviating the sufferings that flesh is heir to would invoke public vengeance?
36312What beatings might she not well fear if she confessed to any dealings with invisible beings?
36312What did he say you must do?
36312What did he tell you?"
36312What do you ride upon?
36312What had you there?
36312What harm have they done unto you?
36312What if it was?
36312What is fit treatment of such facts and testimony from such a source?
36312What is_ he_ like?
36312What miracle did he concede that the devil can work?
36312What more common than for attendants to offer and urge upon a suffering and agonized person any stimulant or cordial at hand?
36312What next?
36312What persons would be summoned into court to testify concerning her when such was the charge?
36312What qualities give better_ a priori_ promise of correct testimony than do sincerity and a sound understanding?
36312What started, and extended, and intensified that tongue if it did wag?
36312What then?
36312What then?
36312What then?
36312What though all spectators failed to see the Indian?
36312What though the agitation of Christendom brings its latent iniquities and impurities to the surface?
36312What though the counterparts of publicans, sinners, and harlots float numerously into view?
36312What unseen power?
36312What was it like that got you to do it?
36312What was the character of the Goodwin children themselves?
36312What was their duty?
36312What were the accusations against him?
36312What were those feats?
36312What would you have me do?''
36312What, therefore, must be done?
36312What, therefore, was the historian''s necessity?
36312What_ lies_ were or could be fabricated against such a woman, the nature of which the common sagacity of society there and then would not detect?
36312What_ lies_ which the truthfulness of society there and then would not decline to repeat against her?
36312When I ceased working upon my patient, her husband said,''Do you suppose you can affect_ me_ in the same way?''
36312When her master hath asked her( Tituba?)
36312When she perceived and called out to some personage invisible to her companions, saying,"What cheer, old man?"
36312Whence the excitement itself-- such excitement as could regard an accurate guess as necessarily the offspring of diabolical insight?
36312Whence the impulse?
36312Where are they?
36312Where did they find him?
36312Wherein lurks anything which indicates that the witnesses in this case stated anything that was not substantially true?
36312Which is most dutiful to God and friendly to man?
36312Which is most scientific?
36312Which shall we do?
36312Which?
36312Which?
36312Which?
36312Which?
36312Which?
36312Who and what was he?
36312Who but visible or audible spirits, proving themselves to be such, can give decisive response to that momentous question?
36312Who first appeared to her?
36312Who helped the little clergyman lift and hold the heavy gun?
36312Who knows?
36312Who knows?
36312Who sees either mind, or the force by which an aching toe reports to the brain and excites the sympathy of the whole organism?
36312Who sees electricity, magnetism, gravitation, attraction, cohesion, repulsion?
36312Who was the prime mover?
36312Who was"my Indian man"?
36312Who, next to Powell, among those present at the manifestations, was most likely to have made a covenant with the Evil One?
36312Why afraid of such result?
36312Why call that a_ pretense_, and make her a liar?
36312Why did any intelligent being, whether mortal or spirit, thus woefully invade and disturb the homes of able, honored, worthy Christian men?
36312Why did n''t you take the words of your own witnesses as corroborative of the man''s statement?
36312Why did the people of his time take his life?
36312Why do you not tell us the truth?
36312Why do you thus torment these poor children?''
36312Why not put some confidence in the words of this religiously educated girl?
36312Why say_ pretended_?
36312Why should they lead to, or rather why fix upon, the beloved and venerated Mrs. Nurse?
36312Why was such a one an enterer of complaints against neighbors, whether high or low, good or bad?
36312Why, said she, hadst not thee such a letter from such a man at such a time?
36312Why?
36312Why?
36312With''eagerness of mind''she asked them,''Does she tell you what clothes I have on?''
36312Yes,_ what_ unseen power?
36312Yes; who that baker whose cake raised the devil, and caused apparitions to become exceeding plenty?
36312_ Ans._''What do I know?

36312_ These shadows_(?)
36312and especially why perpetrate such agonizing cruelties upon bright, lovely, and promising children?
36312have they done unto you?"
36312her course of fraud and imposture?
36312her frolic?
36312or of acts called witchcraft of old?
36312or was it such lifting of Margaret Rule as had been sworn to?
36312see the devil?"
37917A test? 37917 A tip?"
37917Ah, that is it?
37917Ah, you force me to say it, do you? 37917 Am I going to die?"
37917Am I ill, Blessington?
37917And Abracadabra, now?
37917And are we to take your corpse back to England to- morrow?
37917And did n''t you know that to take what is n''t yours is stealing?
37917And does he do other things as well as he dances?
37917And have n''t I?
37917And if he asks?
37917And is Archie there too? 37917 And is this Archie?"
37917And it''s jolly for you, is n''t it, Blessington, having Archie here so long?
37917And may I ask you one thing? 37917 And shall I be forgiven now I''ve told you?"
37917And shall I enter all the invitation you accept in your engagement- book, Cousin Marion?
37917And shall we have a talk this evening again before dinner?
37917And she wo n''t hurt Blessington either?
37917And those scribbles of Archie''s?
37917And what does she do when she blows her nose?
37917And what other news?
37917And what''s the news?
37917And who is that?
37917And who was you visitor?
37917And why have n''t I got a bone in my leg? 37917 And why is he so particularly here?"
37917And you do n''t want me to take your ridiculous mother away?
37917And you''ll be joining up too before long, wo n''t you? 37917 And you, Archie?"
37917And you, Jessie?
37917Any tea left?
37917Archie, are n''t you going to wish me happiness?
37917Archie, do you really believe that it is the spirit of Martin that makes you write?
37917Archie, who has been telling you about Martin?
37917Archie, why do you smoke before breakfast?
37917Archie,she cried,"are_ you_ there?
37917Are n''t I?
37917Are n''t you being horribly unkind to me?
37917Are n''t you going to work this morning?
37917Are you in love with him?
37917Are you quite certain?
37917Are you tired, dear?
37917Bradshaw?
37917But did n''t you know it was n''t yours?
37917But does Martin never write to you?
37917But does n''t Sapum enter into girls, too?
37917But he wo n''t keep you in London?
37917But is n''t there any other Martin?
37917But marriage? 37917 But may n''t I skate?"
37917But may n''t I wear a flower from Tom, Dick, or Harry for that reason? 37917 But what are you going to do?"
37917But what does it matter to him what we are like?
37917But what play could we act?
37917But you keep your opinion?
37917But you wo n''t have a fit or anything, will you?
37917But, my dear, how will Archie begin to know unless you tell him?
37917But, wherever that is, may n''t we be together? 37917 But-- but sha n''t Archie come too?"
37917Ca n''t you hear what I say?
37917Certainly, but why beg my pardon?
37917Crying? 37917 Did I say anything?"
37917Did she love me or did n''t she?
37917Did you put those coals on your mother''s hearthrug?
37917Did you see him?
37917Do n''t give me up, will you?
37917Do n''t they have lots of funerals?
37917Do n''t you know, when the two couples wander about? 37917 Do n''t you remember how you and Jeannie made up a story about them?"
37917Do they not make it more difficult for you to tell him about Martin now? 37917 Do you like her better than Miss Helena?"
37917Do you mean you''ve accepted him?
37917Do you mean...?
37917Do you mean...?
37917Do you really want to know what I think, Archie?
37917Do you remember what I told you about the messages I used to have from Martin when I was a child?
37917Do you want a clock- work train?
37917Do you want very much?
37917Do you? 37917 Does that affect you?"
37917Does that mean that you do n''t?
37917Dual personality?
37917Eh? 37917 From Helena or mother?"
37917Get the balls out, will you?
37917Hammering?
37917Harry, will you open the door and see what it is?
37917Has he been quite quiet?
37917Have women got bones in their legs and not boys? 37917 Have you saved me again, Jessie?"
37917Helena is married on the 10th of August, is n''t she?
37917Helena, have I offended you?
37917How are you madame Seiler?
37917How are you, Archie?
37917How do you think Jessie is?
37917How many half- crowns is that?
37917How''s the headache?
37917I answer to my name, do n''t I?
37917I did n''t dress,he said,"for where''s the use of dressing if you are going to undress again almost immediately?"
37917I say, father,he said,"shall I tell her, or would she think it not quite...?"
37917I''m nothing at all just now; I''m dead, but will you watch by the corpse? 37917 If I make an effort, will you make one, too?"
37917If you tell me you are in love with him..."Do you think I should marry him if I was not?
37917In this house?
37917Including the Bradshaw?
37917Is Miss Schwarz very ill?
37917Is it Martin?
37917Is it a joke?
37917Is it another train?
37917Is n''t it fun? 37917 Is that you, Archie?"
37917Is the fish there still?
37917Is there an answer, my lord?
37917It is bed- time, is n''t it?
37917It''ll get all right, wo n''t it?
37917It''s ridiculous, is n''t it? 37917 Martin, are you here?
37917Martin, are you here?
37917May I come to the meeting, Miss Bampton?
37917May I get down?
37917May I help myself on the way?
37917May I pick one?
37917May I say''we''also?
37917May n''t I come? 37917 My dear, have n''t you got further than that?"
37917No? 37917 Not gone to bed yet?"
37917Now shall I show you the test? 37917 Oh Archie, how do you know it was he?"
37917Oh, Archie, are you going to talk to Martin?
37917Oh, Blessington, is n''t it fun?
37917Oh, Blessington,he said,"look at me, and they''re just as easy to manage as the old ones, and may I go to see Harry after breakfast and show him?"
37917Oh, Helena, were we doing that all by ourselves?
37917Oh, William, what''s happened?
37917Oh, and may it have a cris-- a crisantepum?
37917Oh, are n''t we behaving like idiots?
37917Oh, er-- what?
37917Oh, is it Abracadabra?
37917Oh, mummy, may I go to the meeting?
37917Oh, mummy, what_ is_ happening?
37917Oh, ought girls to fall down and not boys?
37917Oh, was Helena frightened?
37917Oh, who is it?
37917Or do you think that I ought to behave like William, and serve my country?
37917Ought we to say a prayer, Jeannie?
37917Send that at once, will you?
37917Shall I laugh?
37917Shall I say''ninety- nine''?
37917Shall I tell you why I do n''t?
37917Shall you tell Lord Davidstow?
37917She''s rather silent and preoccupied, is n''t she?
37917Slum?
37917That was a bad business, was n''t it, Blessington? 37917 That''s something left, is n''t it?
37917The dream?
37917The white statue of Helena and the worms?
37917Then did you behave improperly?
37917Then how did you know they were there?
37917Then what is there to be ashamed of?
37917There''s time before we need dress, is n''t there? 37917 Think of what?"
37917Twelve and six?
37917Was I good as a rule?
37917Was it the cupboard underneath the stairs in the hall here?
37917Was she always like that?
37917Was there any thunder?
37917We''ll make some rule, shall we, father? 37917 We?"
37917Well, mother darling?
37917Well?
37917What are you going to do now?
37917What are you going to do?
37917What are you going to do?
37917What can have put that into your head?
37917What did you do when you were six?
37917What did you do with it?
37917What do you want?
37917What does that mean?
37917What else?
37917What evenings those birthdays evenings were, were n''t they? 37917 What for?"
37917What had we better do? 37917 What have you and your father been talking about?"
37917What is it, Archie?
37917What is it?
37917What is it?
37917What is there to cry about? 37917 What made you do it?
37917What right has a mangy brute like that to stop us?
37917What would you feel if you found your father had been setting William to spy and report on you?
37917What''ll that do?
37917What''s happened?
37917What''s quicksilver?
37917What''s the matter with her then?
37917What_ do_ you mean, Blessington?
37917When did you bet me twelve- and- six?
37917Where''s your darling face then?
37917Which of us shall go and see what it is?
37917Which room?
37917Who ever heard such a thing?
37917Who from?
37917Who sent you them, Helena? 37917 Who''s going to shoot us?
37917Who?
37917Why are you crying?
37917Why did Cyrus kill it, Jeannie?
37917Why did Helena treat me like that?
37917Why did n''t you slow down, Archie?
37917Why did n''t you speak to her, mummy?
37917Why do you speak like that?
37917Why does he never come to see me now, Miss Jessie? 37917 Why not?
37917Why not?
37917Why should I forgive you?
37917Why should n''t I take you away in my basket and put you in the Tower of Toads?
37917Why''poor''? 37917 Why, dear?"
37917Why, what do you mean?
37917Will Miss Schwarz be better in the morning?
37917Will he come again?
37917Will you and Jessie be very kind and let me have two minutes with him?
37917Will you come for a stroll, Jessie?
37917Wish you happiness?
37917Yes, but what''s mischief?
37917Yes, darling, why not?
37917Yes, my dear, will you? 37917 Yes; and they have ceased altogether for years, have n''t they?"
37917Yes; is n''t it usual between friends?
37917Yes?
37917You did n''t sleep very long, Archie, did you?
37917You do n''t want to go there, do you?
37917You down already? 37917 You love her, do n''t you?
37917You mother''s come, has n''t she?
37917All that Martin said sounded divinely comforting and uplifting, but did there not lurk in it the whole gospel of Satanism?
37917And are n''t you sorry for having burned my hearthrug?
37917And are we to say anything to him about it?"
37917And could that have been sunshine down there?
37917And did you really hear conversation going on?
37917And has everybody slept as serenely as I?"
37917And how is my dear Madame Blessington?"
37917And how long shall I have to wait before it begins again?"
37917And if he could speak like that to a young and innocent child, why should he not continue to speak to his brother when he grew up?
37917And what do you think of it all?"
37917And where will you be?
37917And where''s Jessie?
37917And you''ll wait with me, dear, wo n''t you?
37917And, if you''re right about her not loving anybody, do you mean that she does n''t love the Bradshaw?"
37917Archie does n''t tell me everything, why should he?
37917Are missionaries born or made, by the way?
37917Are you going to bed?"
37917Are you sure he has never heard of him?
37917Besides, did you ever hear of such an unwarranted assumption?
37917Besides, who knew that he did not give that as a test, as a proof of his identity, for surely nothing could have been devised so convincing?
37917Blessington''s love, Helena''s love... which was real?
37917Blue?
37917But a voice from inside had said:"Is that you, darling?
37917But about Helena: how is she bearing it?"
37917But are n''t you an idiot, too?
37917But he was rather rude, was n''t he?
37917But if he kills another, may we have another funeral?"
37917But may I be your Bradshaw?"
37917But mummy, why did Cyrus kill the thrush?
37917But there had been other factors as well, and who knew whether below this engaging exterior there were not planted the seeds of tragic outcome?
37917But was n''t it divine?
37917But was n''t it lovely?
37917But we''ll help each other-- eh, Archie?
37917But what had inspired those strivings and despairs and exultations?
37917But what is thought- reading?
37917But what proof is there that there is such a thing as the subconscious self?
37917But who was this dear person called"Martin,"and where was Martin?
37917But why had he not kissed her, when they sat on that last evening in the dark garden at Silorno?
37917But you were n''t really anxious, were you?"
37917But, later, may I borrow my Bradshaw again?"
37917Ca n''t you tell me at all what caused it?
37917Can there be a more obvious duty than that?
37917Can you forgive me?"
37917Can you imagine not looking forward to the delicious things you want?"
37917Can you?"
37917Certainly she aroused the ardour of his senses, but how long would that last?
37917Certainly she looks well: do you think she has anything on her mind?"
37917Chuck me over the evening paper, will you?"
37917Contradiction go?"
37917Did any one ever go there?
37917Did he mind much?"
37917Did n''t she know?
37917Did n''t you think that Archie was very fond of her?"
37917Did she have a brain- wave, do you think, and know that you were coming?"
37917Did they come just ordinarily, like other clothes?
37917Did you invent something about that too?"
37917Did you know that you are the most outrageous flirt, Helena?"
37917Do forgive me for questioning you, but-- but are you intending to marry Lord Harlow if he asks you?
37917Do n''t you like him?
37917Do n''t you want to see it?
37917Do you believe in the possibility of Martin''s having made a communication to Archie?"
37917Do you forgive me?"
37917Do you mean that?"
37917Do you really think that when I was a poor little consumptive chap at Grives I was really possessed by an evil spirit?
37917Do you remember how sordid and horrible the discovery was?"
37917Do you remember one night our finding that my father was breaking the contract he made with me about drinking?
37917Do you think I have a very delightful life down here, all alone with him?
37917Do you understand now?"
37917Do you want to go?"
37917Do you-- do you think your father will keep to it?"
37917Does it sound likely?"
37917English papers?
37917For, if things had been the other way about, and Helena had been engaged to him, would she have allowed the Bradshaw to kiss her?
37917Had n''t I given you leave to sit in my room, and look at my treasures?
37917Has n''t Martin been here too?"
37917Have n''t I told you?"
37917Have n''t you ever seen a house like that?
37917Have n''t you seen the immense change in me?"
37917He could not have solidified them himself, but if any one capable of presenting them to him in actual words had asked him,"Is it this you mean?"
37917He''s dining with us to- night, is n''t he?
37917How are you, Archie?"
37917How dare you?"
37917How was it possible that Archie, who so few weeks ago was in such depths of misery and bitterness, could honourably suggest so dangerous a plan?
37917How would that be?"
37917I could n''t put on yours now, could I?
37917I daresay you''ve got arms and legs as well as me, have n''t you?"
37917I do n''t grant the reason for a moment; but, even if I did, what then?
37917I may count on it always, may n''t I?"
37917I must always think of that, must n''t I?"
37917I say, did you ever have any lovers once upon a time?"
37917I say, shall I drive with you to the station just as I am?
37917I say, she is a devil, is n''t she?"
37917I say, that is funny, is n''t it?
37917If Martin can come to you, why should not other spirits?
37917If he could say that, what credence could possibly be placed in the picture he had drawn of himself as his father''s last hope?
37917If you want a test("Test?"
37917In any case, was there another girl in London who had so attractive a second string to her bow?
37917In the interval there was another surprise: how would Blessington wake him?
37917Is Archie quite black yet from bathing?
37917Is he not ministering to it?
37917Is it shocking for a young lady to see a young gentleman''s bare feet and his pyjamas?
37917Is it the sap?
37917Is it you?"
37917Is n''t it clearly for me to save my father?
37917Is n''t it lovely, and that''s Martin''s photograph, is n''t it?"
37917Is n''t it lucky that one does n''t feel like that?"
37917Is n''t it sweeter to kiss Helena than to curse her?"
37917Is n''t it, Miss Bampton?"
37917Is n''t that rather too horrible an imagining?
37917Is n''t there some nice young lady, Master Archie?"
37917Is that it?"
37917Is that why they ca n''t run properly?
37917It is no use pressing for confidence, is it?
37917It was sweet of her to want me, but how could I remain when Daddy was here?
37917It would be rude not to, do n''t you think?"
37917Just now I know you''re unhappy, and a bottle of wine makes things more tolerable, does n''t it?"
37917Martin, Martin?"
37917May I ask why I revolt you?"
37917May I do that, Cousin Marion?"
37917May I get some flowers for Archie''s room and Jessie''s?
37917May we do it again soon?
37917Mummy, when I grow up, may I be a clergyman?"
37917Now I ask you, as a reasonable female, does that look like a message from a devil?
37917Oh, Harry, do you remember how you used to come to tea in the nursery and Blessington made us behave properly till tea was over?"
37917Oh, Miss Bampton, what does it mean, and who is Martin?"
37917Oh, and what is a test?
37917Oh, there''s tea; shall we have tea?"
37917Or are they a birthday present?"
37917Or are you and Jessie engrossed in something I sha n''t understand?"
37917Or shall I go to bed?
37917Or what in the image of himself as one who must silently bear cruel misconception?
37917Or will Helena put him off?
37917Or will they have nothing but crawlings?"
37917Pass me that bottle, will you?"
37917Shall I run upstairs and get a box to bury it in?"
37917Shall we go into the hall?
37917She wants to be loved, is n''t that it?
37917She was at his wound again, taking off the bandages, seeing how it was getting on..."And how are you, darling?"
37917She-- what''s the phrase?--she pulls the strings in this piece, does n''t she?
37917So it was best to leave them, was n''t it?"
37917So what on earth prevented a little dinner at a restaurant and an hour at a music- hall and a little supper somewhere and anything that turned up?
37917So why should I be frightened at the thought that he could communicate with Archie?
37917Sometimes a little delicate adjustment was necessary, but she seldom got caught out..."Darling daddy,"she said,"may I pay you a little visit?
37917Supposing I had felt wicked and had burned you stylograph pen, should n''t I be sorry for having injured you?
37917Tea?"
37917That is part of Helena, is n''t it?"
37917That made the thought of telling him not unpleasant to her; there was an excitement in the thought of seeing his blank face-- would it be blank?
37917That will convey my good wishes in the usual manner, wo n''t it?
37917The game in question was"Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral?"
37917The hot weather did not really suit Cousin Marion, so why should not Cousin Marion go back to England with herself, Helena, as travelling companion?
37917Then his father''s voice said:"Are you there, Archie?"
37917There was a lot about the sea, but why on earth had he taken the trouble to write it?
37917They''re still playing cards, are n''t they?
37917Usually it did n''t want to do anything, and there was the sun and the snow, and would n''t it be jolly to go there?
37917Was it my fault that I fell in love with him?
37917Was it so?
37917Was n''t it cruel of him?
37917Was she being unreasonable, full of fear where no fear was, twittering with groundless and superstitious fancies?
37917What dance is it, by the way?"
37917What did he say?"
37917What did that mean?
37917What did you do with your bottles?
37917What do you mean?
37917What do you think put it into my head to empty the fire on to it?"
37917What do you think she''ll bring you?"
37917What had I done to deserve that?
37917What have you done all day?"
37917What if England did go to war with Germany?
37917What made you come and tell me so long after?"
37917What other explanation is there, unless indeed you imagine that I have merely perpetrated a silly hoax?
37917What shall we sing?"
37917What was his warning, after all?
37917What was it?
37917What will she do, do you think?
37917What will you do with yourself?"
37917What would you choose, Blessington?"
37917What''s happening in that foolish England, if you''ve read the papers?"
37917What''s that?"
37917What?"
37917Where are they?"
37917Where have you been?"
37917Where, then, do you think my duty lies, Jessie?
37917Which is you, the surprise or the Archie that I know?"
37917Who cares for what happens in England?
37917Why did he want to hurt it and kill it?
37917Why did she encourage me?
37917Why did you hurt me?"
37917Why should I be cross and unpleasant to people, as if it was wicked to like them?"
37917Why should I suppose that there is anything of the sort?
37917Why should n''t I?
37917Why should n''t I?
37917Why, then, should he bother about it, since he was not a sailor?
37917Will that do?"
37917Will you try to feel a little more kindly towards me?
37917Without swagger, it was rather a good piece of work, do n''t you think?"
37917Wo n''t you give me a kiss?"
37917Wo n''t you really come, father?"
37917Would n''t it be vastly easier for me to join my friends and go out alongside of them?
37917Would she perhaps like to come down here?
37917Yes; what is it?"
37917Yet where, if she examined it more closely, was the unnaturalness?
37917Yet who could they be for, if not for him?
37917You like him, do n''t you?
37917You wo n''t be vexed, will you?"
37917You wo n''t go out to the war, will you?
37917You wo n''t mind a gurgling cistern next door, will you?
37917You wo n''t play me false with your friendship, will you?"
37917You''re getting to be part of me, are n''t you?
37917Your man, William, too, he''s gone and enlisted, has n''t he?
37917he said,"when you saw her in the High Street?"
37917thought Archie,"what''s that?")
13319Are the Dead Alive?
13319What shall the wedding breakfast be? 13319 _] Who has been at the desk?
13319--the rest of them?
13319... And with that child?
13319... Ca n''t I make my presence known to_ you_?
13319... No word?...
13319... What did you mean, Andrew?
13319... What made you think of it just then?
13319... You believe that?
13319A busy girl about the house, eh, Fritz?
13319A circus?
13319A compact?
13319A cup of coffee, sir?
13319A scene took place, eh?
13319A what?
13319Ah, but who lays out my linen?
13319Am I going to be a bone setter in the next life and he a tulip man?...
13319An M--?
13319An offer?
13319And could I hear you?
13319And he died believing you?
13319And how many times do you think_ you''ve_ been a spook yourself?
13319And some day, should your children wander far away and my gardens blossom for a stranger who may take my name from off the gates,--what_ is_ my name?
13319And then?
13319And why were n''t we_ all_ told?...
13319And you want to stay here?
13319Anybody in this house come to their senses yet?
13319Anything distressing you this morning, Mrs. Batholommey?
13319Are you feeling better?
13319Are you going... after all?
13319Are you in your senses?
13319Are you really going to sacrifice yourself because of-- Am I really losing you?...
13319Are you sure he''s dead?
13319Are you sure you remember that?
13319Are you sure you''ll want to come back to live here?
13319Are your feet wet?
13319As for the Colonel, who spent half his time with Mr. Grimm, what is his reward?
13319As_ PETER''S_ eyes rest on_ MARTA,_ he nods and smiles in recognition, waiting for a response._] Well, Marta?...
13319B.--er?
13319But better than all that-- who brings youth into my old house?
13319But did you want her to be happy simply because_ you_ are happy, sir?
13319But you hear me?
13319Ca n''t my love for you outlive_ me_?
13319Ca n''t you even hope?
13319Ca n''t you say it politely?
13319Ca n''t you wait a little while?
13319Ca n''t you_ think_ I''m trying to help you?
13319Ca n''t_ you_ understand one word?
13319Can you hypnotize a thermometer?
13319Can you see me, William?
13319Can you, James?
13319Catherine, have you asked James to be present at the ceremony to- morrow?
13319Circus music?
13319Come, Katie, tell me, on this fine spring morning, what sort of husband would you prefer?
13319Could you talk to me?
13319Dear old gentleman-- and er-- yes?
13319Did I disturb you, James?
13319Did he seem inclined to stay?
13319Did it cross over?...
13319Did n''t you?
13319Did you never hear the story of the lady who flattened her nose-- sticking it into other people''s business?
13319Did you see him, too?
13319Did you, William?
13319Did you-- er-- tell him that we intend to leave to- morrow?
13319Do n''t you call that sweating?
13319Do n''t you consider William much better?
13319Do n''t you hear it, sir?
13319Do n''t you know your old master?...
13319Do n''t you want her to be happy because_ she_ is happy?
13319Do you believe that you could come back here into this room and I could see you?
13319Do you expect nothing to change in your house?
13319Do you feel it?
13319Do you know how I was cured?
13319Do you know what I should like to say to your uncle?
13319Do you know where Annamarie is?
13319Do you know why I was sent away?
13319Do you know why-- of all this household-- you are the only one to help me?...
13319Do you like your new work?
13319Do you mean it?
13319Do you mean it?
13319Do you mean to tell me that any young girl should be freer?
13319Do you really believe such stuff?
13319Do you remember the clown that sang:"Uncle Rat has gone to town?"
13319Do you think he could have seen Uncle Peter?
13319Do you think it did n''t get on my nerves?
13319Doctor, you''ve seen a good many cross to the other world; tell me-- did you ever see one of them come back-- one?
13319Does the whole damned town know it?
13319Done for you?
13319Eh?
13319Eh?...
13319F--?
13319Free?
13319Free?
13319Give Katie more freedom, eh?
13319Grow up to fail?
13319H''m.... You both ask the same question, eh?
13319Had it anything to do with my little girl?
13319Happy, eh?
13319Happy?
13319Has it ever occurred to you that Katie is not happy?
13319Has my journey been in vain?...
13319Have you noticed how she''s coming out lately, James?
13319Have you seen our orchids?
13319He gabbed, eh?
13319He tosses his cap, coat and book on the sofa._] What''s the matter?
13319His eye is suddenly riveted on the telegram resting against the candlestick on the desk._] Is that telegram for me?
13319His watch fob?
13319How are you, Frederik?
13319How are you, Mr. Hicks?
13319How are your plum trees?
13319How can it turn out otherwise?
13319How do you do, Hartman?
13319How do you feel, laddie?
13319How do you know?
13319How do you think I got the money?
13319How ever did it find its way here?
13319How is he, Doctor?
13319How would you mount it?''"
13319How''s William?
13319How?
13319However, I think I''ve done away with them, for the whole town understands that Katie has n''t a penny-- doesn''t it, James?
13319Hy''re you, Mrs. Batholommey?
13319Hy''re, Henry?
13319I know you''ve set your heart upon her marrying Frederik, and all that sort of nonsense, but will it work?
13319I mean-- what would Katie''s position be in this house?
13319I must know more of this--[_Pauses abruptly._] Think, William, who came to the house?
13319I must n''t cry... others have troubles, too, have n''t they?
13319I''ll be back in the morning.... Wo n''t you... see me to the door?
13319I''m finished?
13319I''ve virtually given up my business for him, and what have I got out of it?
13319I-- suppose it_ is_ a little too late, is n''t it?...
13319I?
13319If my voice can be heard from San Francisco over the telephone, why can not a soul with a God- given force behind it dart over the entire universe?
13319If not, who had the picture?...
13319If she''s happy, why should I care?
13319If the rest of them only knew what they''re missing, eh?
13319If you can not make your presence known to me-- I know there are great difficulties-- will you try and send your message by William?
13319Is Hicks willing to make it worth while?
13319Is Thomas Edison greater than God?
13319Is it for this you hauled us out in the rain, Frederik?
13319Is it healthy-- that''s the idea-- is it healthy?
13319Is it... Peter?
13319Is n''t it curious... to hear your name and turn and...[_ Unconsciously, she looks in_ PETER''S_ face._] no one there?
13319Is n''t it here in the home?...
13319Is n''t my message any clearer to you?
13319Is n''t the news splendid?
13319Is that all?
13319Is that clear?
13319Is that so?
13319Is there anything you need to- day, Katie?
13319Is there no one in this house to hear me?
13319Is there no second chance in this world?
13319Is_ that_ what he left to_ Henry_?
13319It did?...
13319It popped out; did n''t it, William?
13319It sounds so respectable and sane, does n''t it?
13319It would be-- er-- unusual to do it now, would n''t it?
13319It''s all guess work, eh, Fritz?
13319James Hartman?
13319James, do you know how I happened to meet Katie?
13319James, it has just occurred to me-- that--[_James pauses._] What was your reason for wanting to give up your position?
13319James?
13319James?
13319Letter?...
13319May I go with you?
13319May I have a drink of his plum brandy, Frederik?
13319Mine?
13319Mr. Frederik, where''s_ old_ Mr. Grimm?
13319My hat?
13319My home?
13319Need you go right away-- Mr. Grimm?
13319Never have, eh?
13319Never since?
13319No letter?
13319No one?
13319No?
13319No?
13319No?...
13319No?...
13319Nothing remarkable in_ that_, is there?
13319Now?
13319Of course I do, and why not?
13319Of course, she does; and why not, why not, dear friend?
13319Or why did n''t he_ continue_ his work?
13319Or, still worse-- to succeed-- to be famous?
13319Pastor?
13319Pastor?
13319Perhaps you think the camera was hypnotized?
13319Peter Grimm''s gardens?
13319Peter, have you provided for everybody in this house?
13319Really?
13319Said to you, eh?
13319Said to you?
13319See it?
13319Sell out?
13319Sell out?
13319Settle your worldly affairs?
13319So this is the end of Peter''s great work?
13319So you want to go downstairs, eh?
13319Something new, eh?
13319Supposing you do find her and learn that it''s all true: what do you prove?
13319Swallowed up?
13319Tell me, William-- you heard the Doctor say that?
13319Than I_ was_?
13319That little tattler?
13319That you do n''t love him?
13319The junk, you mean?
13319The lovers are in the shadow, but_ PETER''S_ figure is marked and clear._] Why did you go away?
13319The old man''s aging; do you notice it?
13319The persistent personal energy must continue, or what_ is_ God?
13319The question_ every man wants the answer to_: what''s to become of me--_me_--_my work_?
13319Then how''d that picture get into the house?
13319Then it all comes to this: are you going to live up to your promise?
13319Then why tell me?
13319There are kisses tangled in her hair where it curls... hundreds of them.... Are you going to let her go?
13319There... you caught that.... Why ca n''t you take my message to Catherine?
13319They laugh at my hat?
13319Think before you speak, my boy; what did Mr. Grimm say to you?
13319This is better than"Puss in Boots,"is n''t it, Katie?
13319To wear a heavy laurel wreath?
13319To whom does this picture belong?"
13319To- morrow?
13319Was Frederik the man that came to see Annamarie?
13319Was William present?
13319Was he?
13319Was it Frederik Grimm?
13319Was n''t it nice where you were?
13319Was there ever a girl who did n''t cry?...
13319We must show her to everybody in the house, so that everybody will say:"How in the world did she ever get here?
13319We''ll print it, eh, Fritz?
13319We''re all about you.... Look at the gardens: they''ve died, have n''t they?
13319Well?
13319Were n''t you too small?
13319Were you speaking of-- of ghosts, Doctor?
13319What I really wish to consult you about is this: should n''t the card we''re going to send out have a narrow black border?
13319What I wish to ask is this: would you have any objection to the name of Mrs. Batholommey being used as a witness?
13319What are you doing here?
13319What are you doing?
13319What are you talking about, William?
13319What chance has the beginner compared with a fellow who knew his business before he was born?
13319What chance have I had to answer?
13319What claim has he on you-- on any of us?
13319What could he say?
13319What do you intend to do?
13319What do you know?
13319What do you mean, Doctor?
13319What do you mean, Uncle Peter?
13319What do you mean?
13319What has he been saying to you?
13319What is it, after all?
13319What is it?
13319What is it?
13319What made you think someone called you?
13319What makes you say that?
13319What makes you think he was delirious?
13319What man made Annamarie cry?
13319What man?
13319What more can a fellow do to earn his money?
13319What occurred the last time you saw her?
13319What of to- morrow?
13319What question?
13319What should I know of her?
13319What''s that?
13319What''s the matter?
13319What, William?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?
13319What?...
13319What?...
13319What_ will_ become of William?
13319When I''m a little old leaf ready to curl up, eh, Fritz?
13319When a bachelor wants to order a three- rib roast, who''s to eat it?
13319When did you last see Annamarie?
13319When, William?
13319Where are you going?
13319Where are you?
13319Where do you get these extraordinary ideas?
13319Where''s Uncle?
13319Where''s the bosom of Abraham, Mr. Grimm?
13319Where''s your mother, William?
13319Where?
13319Where?
13319Who can tell?
13319Who could resist her smiles?
13319Who gets up at dawn to eat breakfast with me?
13319Who is arranging the marriage, you or I?
13319Who knocked?
13319Who opened the door?
13319Who puts flowers on my desk every day?
13319Who sees that I have my second cup of coffee?
13319Who tore it up?
13319Who was he?
13319Who''s got to die?
13319Who''s in this room?
13319Who?
13319Who_ was_ the other one?
13319Whose business is it?
13319Why I quarrelled with your uncle?
13319Why are you unhappy, Mr. Grimm?
13319Why ca n''t a telegram travel on a fence instead of on a wire?
13319Why did you ask it?
13319Why did you come back, Mr. Grimm?
13319Why did you do it?
13319Why did you lie to me?
13319Why did you tell Marta that you''d had no message-- no news?
13319Why did you tell me that you''d never seen her since she went away?
13319Why do n''t you have more light?
13319Why do n''t you tell the name, William?
13319Why do you ask me?
13319Why do you dislike him, Frederik?
13319Why do you dislike him?
13319Why do you hate that child?
13319Why do you want to stay in this old cottage-- with its candles and lamps and shadows?
13319Why do you wish to ship me off to Florida?
13319Why does he always look towards that door?
13319Why have n''t you told Frederik the truth?
13319Why is he unhappy?...
13319Why not?
13319Why not?
13319Why not?
13319Why not?
13319Why not?
13319Why not_ now_?
13319Why sell?
13319Why should you carry out your uncle''s plans?
13319Why should you worry over William?
13319Why?
13319Will nobody hear me?
13319Will you have a glass of my plum brandy?
13319Will you?...
13319William, I want you to try to understand that you''re to help me, will you?
13319William, do you think you could deliver a message for me... a very important message?...
13319William, what makes you think that Mr. Grimm is in this room?
13319William?
13319With that sick child?
13319Wo n''t you try and take it for me, eh?
13319Would n''t you like a cup, Doctor?
13319Would you mind handing me that telegram?
13319Would you sell your great, great grandfather?
13319Yes, Andrew?...
13319Yes, yes....[_ Listens at the''phone._] The dear old man told you his plans never failed, eh?
13319Yes, you_ did_ promise Uncle Peter you''d marry me, did n''t you?
13319Yes?
13319Yes?
13319Yes?
13319Yes?
13319Yes?
13319You ask me why?
13319You ca n''t call Sir Charles Crookes, the inventor of Crookes Tubes,--a waster?
13319You do n''t feel well, you say?
13319You feel what I am saying.... You could n''t live without her, could you?
13319You heard the Doctor say that?
13319You mean that I-- You mean that I might... die?
13319You mean that-- you-- you love her?
13319You really do believe, Doctor, that the dead can come back, do n''t you?
13319You remember many things, William... things that happened when you lived with Annamarie, do n''t you?
13319You simply must live where things grow, must n''t you, James?
13319You think so, my boy?
13319You''ll be glad to see me, dear, wo n''t you?
13319You''re a terrible man for planning, Peter; but what have you done?
13319You''re looking me in the face, Andrew; can you see me?
13319You''re not afraid now, William?
13319You''re thinking of it, are n''t you?
13319You''re very contented here with me, are you not?
13319You''ve noticed it, too?
13319You, too?
13319Your uncle?
13319[ FREDERIK,_ amused, listens in silence._] What should I be now-- a rough old fellow-- a bachelor-- without youth in my house, eh?
13319[ FREDERIK_ gives_ PETER_ a glance as though to say,"Now, do you believe it?
13319[ FREDERIK_ is silent._] What are you going to do for William?
13319[ JAMES_ politely thanks him, but does n''t take one._] It''s a pleasure to talk to some one who''s interested; and you_ are_ interested, James?
13319[ MARTA_ re- enters from_ WILLIAM''S_ room and closing the door comes down the stairs and passes off._] What_ are_ we to do with that child?
13319[ PETER_ eyes him-- a faint smile on his lips._] If I got my price?
13319[ WILLIAM_ has taken another piece of cake which he nibbles at-- now holding a piece in each hand._] Pretty substantial dream, eh?
13319[ WILLIAM_ lays down the cake and, clasping his hands, thinks._ PETER_ answers his thoughts._] What?
13319[ WILLIAM_ nods assent._]_ Old_ Mr. Grimm?
13319[ WILLIAM_ nods._] Sure of that, William?
13319[_ A rap sounds._] Who will that be at this hour?...
13319[_ After a long pause._] Is it settled, sir?
13319[_ After a shorter pause._] Is n''t she very young to marry, sir?
13319[_ Alone._]"What shall the wedding breakfast be?
13319[_ Aloud._] James, will you have dinner with us to- day?
13319[_ Amazed._] Selling out?
13319[_ Amused._] Why, James, what do you know about girls?
13319[_ As though he recognizes the unseen guests._] I''ve been gone so long that you came for me, eh?
13319[_ Astonished._] Sell?
13319[_ At the''phone._] How are you, my old friend?...
13319[_ Changing suddenly._] James: why do n''t you try to please Uncle Peter Grimm?
13319[_ Covering the letter with his hand._] From whom?...
13319[_ Echoing the_ DOCTOR''S_ words._] A sensitive?
13319[_ Echoing._] Do I propose to live that long?
13319[_ Echoing_ HICKS''_ words._] What would he say if he knew?
13319[_ Enraged, raising his voice._] What?
13319[_ Entering with a lamp._] Did someone call me?
13319[_ Entering._] Did you wish to see me?
13319[_ Enters-- evidently highly wrought up by the events of the evening._] Who was that?
13319[_ For the first time fully realizing the situation._] Oh, must we stand or fall by the mistakes we made here and the deed we did?
13319[_ Gives_ WILLIAM_ some pennies as he goes._] How he shoots up, eh, Marta?
13319[_ Good- naturedly._] James?
13319[_ Gruffly._] Why are n''t you in bed?
13319[_ Her curiosity aroused._] What is it, Uncle?...
13319[_ Hesitates._] What do you mean?
13319[_ Hesitating._] Are you certain?
13319[_ Ignoring her._] What did you tell Mr. Grimm when he asked you?
13319[_ In a low voice._] Where''s Catherine?
13319[_ Interested._] Yes?
13319[_ Jots down a couple of notes._] Did you ever have this impulse before-- to give up Catherine-- to let her have the cottage?
13319[_ Laughing._] Ah, Uncle Peter, have I made you take a liking to all the rest of the ladies?
13319[_ Lightly._] Yes, yes, yes, let others take my work.... Why should_ we_ care?
13319[_ Listens._] Bad, eh?
13319[_ Listens._] To- night?
13319[_ Listens._] You''ll come to- night?...
13319[_ Looking towards the door of the office._] Did Hartman come?
13319[_ Looks about uneasily, then glances towards the door leading into the hall._] Who is at the door?
13319[_ Losing his temper._] What do you mean?
13319[_ Nobody enters._] Where''s a light?
13319[_ Not understanding the last word-- puzzled._] Eh?
13319[_ Not understanding._] But what could Peter have to say to_ me_ concerning Annamarie?
13319[_ Noticing an old gold- headed walking- stick in the hall._] Oh, er-- what are you going to do with all the old man''s family relics, Frederik?
13319[_ Opening the door._] Yes?
13319[_ Picks up the receiver._] Hello?...
13319[_ Pointing to a glass of water on a tray._] Can I have a drink of water, please?
13319[_ Pooh- poohing._] Crying?
13319[_ Prints a kiss on her cheek._] Ca n''t you think I''m with you, dear child?
13319[_ Puts his hand on_ PETER''S_ hand, which is still on his head._] But where''s your hand?
13319[_ Putting his hand on_ WILLIAM''S_ head._] Now?...
13319[_ Puzzled-- awed-- his voice almost dropping to a whisper._] How do you account for it, Doctor?
13319[_ Questioningly-- dazed._] Dead?
13319[_ Raises his hand for silence._] How did he look, William?
13319[_ Recovering._] What''d he leave me?
13319[_ Rising quickly._] Yes, Mr. Grimm?
13319[_ Rising to get his shawl-- gruffly._] Thought over what I told you concerning this marriage?
13319[_ Seeing_ FREDERIK_ lay down the paper and rise._] Is that all?
13319[_ She notices the lamp._] The night lamp for William?
13319[_ Signing the letter._] Happy?
13319[_ Slaps_ FREDERIK_ on the back._] You''re satisfied now, I hope?
13319[_ Snapping his fingers._] What was the last offer the old man refused from Hicks, of Rochester, Jim?
13319[_ Sticking her head in the door._] Ready for coffee?
13319[_ Still dazed._] A prayer- book.... Me?
13319[_ Suddenly changing-- dazed._] His prayer- book... me?
13319[_ Suddenly noticing that_ CATHERINE_ seems more cheerful._] What''s happened?
13319[_ Surprised._] Eh?
13319[_ Surprised._] What?
13319[_ Suspiciously._] Has Hartman been talking to you?
13319[_ Taking her hand, drawing her towards the table with a change of manner._] Have you seen all the wedding presents, Kitty?
13319[_ Taking the boy on his knee._] What makes you think Peter Grimm is in this room?
13319[_ Taking the letter._] Prescribed?
13319[_ The_ DOCTOR_ turns, facing_ PETER,_ looking directly at him as he puts his hand in his coat pocket._] You heard that, eh?...
13319[_ Then changing._] Is it-- er-- a good offer?
13319[_ To himself._] What in the world is the matter with me to- night?
13319[_ Very low, as though afraid to interrupt_ WILLIAM''S_ train of thought._] What other?
13319[_ Who has been looking down at the letter-- suddenly feeling_ PETER''S_ presence._] Who''s that?
13319[_ Who has entered, saying carelessly to_ JAMES_ as he passes him._] Hy''re you, Jim?
13319[_ With suppressed excitement-- half to herself._] Why are you afraid of him?
13319[_ Without looking up, his hands folded in his lap._] Take me back with you, Mr. Grimm?
13319_ Can_ it be true?
13319_ Our_ gardens?
13319_ in a satisfied way, brushes the crumbs off his lap, and sits back in his chair._] Have you had enough?
13319whatever put this notion into your head?
34988''How did these wretches escape? 34988 ''Shall we permit these things to be so?
34988Ah, the Saints preserve us, what''ll we do now, with Mr. Tabor away in the city an''that black villain of mine runnin''around the country after us? 34988 All right?"
34988An''who''s to be takin''care av me poor lamb up- stairs all the while?
34988And not a soul knows where you are? 34988 And that is why-- do you understand now?"
34988Are we both going to be disguised?
34988Are we making up time?
34988Are you all right?
34988Are you all right?
34988Are you expecting any one to meet you?
34988Are you in the secret too?
34988Are you sure this is the place?
34988Are you sure?
34988Are you sure?
34988Are you-- sure you know me, mother?
34988Bob, what on earth will the neighbors think of you? 34988 But her heart, man, her heart,"objected Reid,"what about her heart, and the shock?"
34988But how are we-- how am I-- going to get home? 34988 But what are you doing here in the world in July?
34988But what can they do?
34988But who is he?
34988But who is''her''--his wife?
34988But, after all, is n''t it just as empty as the rest? 34988 Ca n''t you make it go?"
34988Can I--? 34988 Can you find a mirror?"
34988Carucci?
34988Carucci?
34988Chauffeur? 34988 Crimped?
34988Did Reid have some affair abroad before his marriage, or not?
34988Did you see anything wrong at my sittings? 34988 Do n''t I?"
34988Do n''t things enough happen to people without their seeking them out?
34988Do n''t you love me?
34988Do you feel that way about it, too?
34988Do you know anything about a car?
34988Do you know your way out of this?
34988Do you mean to say,I demanded,"that now that my reputation is cleared that makes no difference?"
34988Do you prefer to have my opinion in private?
34988Do you think she is dead?
34988Do you think that she-- that she is dead?
34988Do you understand now?
34988Do you want some one in particular, or will you leave a message?
34988Do you wish me to refuse to sit for her?
34988Fake?
34988George, dear,she asked piteously,"what is the matter?
34988George,she asked sharply,"what is Mr. Crosby doing here?"
34988Giovanni Scalpiccio been in to- night?
34988Had n''t I better go and leave you all free?
34988Happened?
34988Has Lady told you--?
34988Has anything happened?
34988Has he been back? 34988 Has that nothing to do with the trouble in the family?
34988Have you heard anything further from your friend?
34988Have you known them long?
34988Have you no loyalty?
34988Hello, Mr. Crosby? 34988 Here I am-- mother-- why did-- you-- bring me here?"
34988How about the police?
34988How about you?
34988How do I know what he says?
34988How do you know?
34988How would you like it, Mr. Crosby,she added,"if you could never go out for even a walk all alone?
34988Hurt?
34988I thought we were going up to town?
34988I understand, then, that Mr. Tabor did n''t suggest this to you?
34988I wonder what Carucci will do?
34988If I had, or could have, the faintest belief in anything really bad about you, do n''t you see that I should n''t be here? 34988 Is Miss Tabor at home?"
34988Is anything the matter?
34988Is anything the matter?
34988Is he all right?
34988Is it a fake, then?
34988Is it burglary, or is somebody taken suddenly ill?
34988Is it for me?
34988Is n''t there a chance of a permanent cure for her by removing her from this spiritualism business? 34988 Is n''t this a coincidence?"
34988Is not that the motor- car now at the door?
34988Is some one else following?
34988Is that a message from Miss Tabor or an objection on the part of the family? 34988 Is that all, or do you really want me to watch the Caruccis?"
34988Is that all?
34988Is that the secret, then?
34988Is that you, Walter?
34988Is the man still around here?
34988Is the trouble no more than their fear that Mrs. Tabor is insane?
34988It could n''t have been either of your Italian detectives, for instance?
34988It is true,he said,"she is like the description; but then, how did she come here?"
34988It sounds pretty wild and theatrical,said I,"but could n''t we reach the root of the trouble by making the cure come from the same source?
34988It''s a gang of social lights that''s runnin''these stunts as a fad, you see? 34988 It''s like this, Laurie, you see?
34988Just what does Doctor Paulus say?
34988Know?
34988Lady, Lady dearest,I cried,"ca n''t you see what it all means?
34988Lady, dear,she cried,"what on earth has made you so late?"
34988Lady,I cried,"why ca n''t I know?
34988Look after things?
34988Look here, why do n''t you smoke if you want to? 34988 Lost?"
34988Mac,I asked,"who and what is Doctor Immanuel Paulus?"
34988Mean? 34988 Miriam, did I understand what-- what I saw the other day?"
34988Miriam, what are you saying?
34988Mr. Crosby-- are you awake?
34988My mother?
34988No,said I,"what about them?"
34988Not the chauffeur? 34988 Of course, you know the exact nature of the fellow''s blackmailing story?"
34988Oh, anything I please-- it''s quite easy-- Do n''t you begin to understand?
34988Oh, what do you mean? 34988 Oh-- might I speak with Mrs. Tabor, please?"
34988Or is it only the festive motorman?
34988Out with it, ye dhrunken beast,she said,"where is she?"
34988Pardon; have you a match?
34988Pretty comfortable place, eh?
34988Really, Mr. Crosby, are n''t you rather overstating the case? 34988 Really?
34988Reid? 34988 Reid?
34988Safe? 34988 Say, Mac,"I asked him,"what did you make of that dago story?"
34988Say,he asked hoarsely,"is yous all right?
34988Say,he began,"do you remember that guinea that was here the other day and started the argument with the old gent out in front?
34988Say,said the bartender, sliding my change down to me,"you''re the guy that asked about the guinea, ai n''t yer?"
34988Secret? 34988 See here, Laurie,"he stammered,"I''m a newspaper man, you see?
34988See here,I said,"did you people drug that fellow, Reid?"
34988She is in town, is she not?
34988Sheila,I said, as I rose to go,"is all you have told me true?"
34988Sheila?
34988So much as that? 34988 Talks all chokey, do n''t he?
34988That was several years ago?
34988That''s more like yourself than anything I''ve heard you say-- George, did you hear? 34988 The other day--?
34988Then it''s just a question of getting rid of this fixed idea?
34988Then who is Miriam?
34988Then why are three of your cylinders all right and one all wrong?
34988Then you are after Antonio Carucci?
34988Then you''d_ lie_ about me?
34988This guinea did n''t put the cops on, because he wanted to get you himself, you see? 34988 Thrue?"
34988True?
34988Was he by any chance also a sailor?
34988Was it Miriam? 34988 Was n''t it a jolly week?"
34988Was n''t there a bed in that room?
34988Was that Doctor Paulus who just came in?
34988Well, but that''s begging the whole question, Crosby, do n''t you see? 34988 Well, do you know where I can find our friend?
34988Well, sir, what''s happened him?
34988Well?
34988What about my things?
34988What am I to be frank about? 34988 What are we to do now?"
34988What are you doing here?
34988What are you going to do?
34988What are you going to make out of it?
34988What do you know of my mother?
34988What do you mean?
34988What do you mean?
34988What do you mean?
34988What do you think I am-- delegate from the organ- grinders''union? 34988 What do you think they are?"
34988What do you think we had better do? 34988 What for?"
34988What happened?
34988What has happened? 34988 What have you told me?"
34988What in the world are you ragging Miss Tabor about?
34988What is it-- valves?
34988What is it?
34988What is it?
34988What is it?
34988What is that-- Mrs. Tabor? 34988 What is the matter with you all?"
34988What is this idea, then?
34988What makes you think so?
34988What marriage notice? 34988 What of that?"
34988What on earth are we to do now?
34988What on earth do you want of him?
34988What shall we do now?
34988What sort of a crowd is this?
34988What was it all about? 34988 What way?
34988What will he think of us?
34988What''s that?
34988What''s the best chance? 34988 What''s the matter, sir?
34988What, sir?
34988What? 34988 What?"
34988Whata you want?
34988Where does your shady story come in?
34988Where is Miss Tabor?
34988Where is Walter?
34988Where is the doctor?
34988Where, O where are the Hebrew children?
34988Who else could it possibly be?
34988Who is this?
34988Who was it that died?
34988Who was it wanted to see him, sir?
34988Who? 34988 Who?"
34988Whom do you mean?
34988Why did you search the side of the house, then?
34988Why do n''t you let me go and rest?
34988Why do you conclude that she has for some time been attending spiritualisms unknown to her family?
34988Why have you taken her from me?
34988Why on earth did n''t you''phone before?
34988Why, Walter,Lady cried;"when did you come?"
34988Why, what do you mean? 34988 Why?"
34988Why?
34988Would n''t it be wiser to make friends of us?
34988Would you have me lie to her even for her good?
34988Yes, I know; but who''s there? 34988 Yes; are you?"
34988You do n''t think there''s any chance that Carucci--?
34988You look hot,she said, glancing up,"what is the matter?
34988You mean I''m to leave this minute-- in the middle of the night?
34988You must tell me one thing more than that,said I;"is there-- is there any one else?"
34988You''re a strange man,she muttered; then with her sudden smile,"Are n''t you coming in to breakfast?
34988Yu''re a fly cop, ai n''t yu?
34988_ If yu do nt giv her back she wil be taken._"What on earth does that mean?
34988A circle that seems as well to begin at one point as at another, is it not so?
34988A couple of other men came forward threateningly, and a bejeweled woman, who seemed to be the hostess, cried acidly:"Mercy on us, who is the fellow?
34988A marlinespike, is n''t it?
34988A young gentleman in the library-- who on earth could he be, and what did the fellow want?
34988After all, I thought, as I reached my room, what business was it of mine?
34988After another long silence I ventured:"Has n''t she always been worse after she has been away?"
34988After some meditating she said,"Are you as irresponsible as that about everything?"
34988All clear in there?
34988Am I making this explicit enough?"
34988And goodness gracious, what are you good people standing there so stiff and solemn for?
34988And how, after the ordinary announcement in the press, could the marriage have become a secret at all?
34988And if this house were in some way divided against itself, on what side was I?
34988And in any case, why should the marriage be concealed and the husband retained as a member of the family, masquerading as a brother?
34988And why did it matter so much?
34988And yet-- was the explanation so perfect, after all?
34988And you now bring me eagerly this information, so that you are with the Tabors much interested, which may prove-- you are no relation, is it not so?"
34988Another man somewhere in the circle stammered uncomfortably:"I-- well-- er-- I beg your pardon, but-- could you move something quite beyond our reach?
34988Are n''t you happy?"
34988Are we all right now?"
34988Are you free this morning, so that you can give us a few hours of your time?
34988Are you quite sure?"
34988Are you ready?"
34988Are you sure it is n''t ignition?"
34988Are you the judge of my right to close my own door?"
34988As if the first plunge of the year were a sort of sacred rite?"
34988But if I was the bearer of a plague, why had Lady been allowed to talk with me in the hall?
34988But inside of that, you get''em all kinds, you see?
34988But it is better to have the truth now, is it not so?
34988But the detectives, I knew, were off the case; and besides them and Sheila, who could have the slightest interest in Carucci?
34988But then, whose could it be?
34988But what was the situation?
34988But why not effect rather than cause?
34988By the way, whom do you know there?"
34988By what conceivable design or accident had I been made a prisoner?
34988Ca n''t we take her as she is?"
34988Can you come with me?"
34988Can you doubt now after that?"
34988Can you find some water?
34988Can you hear?
34988Can you see your way down?"
34988Can you-- what?
34988Could he have broken into the house, locking the bedrooms against interruption, and fled upon being discovered?
34988Could there be any reason why my card had not been taken to her?
34988Could there be possibly any connection between it and that chain with its hidden pendant?
34988Crosby?"
34988Crosby?"
34988Crosby?"
34988Crosby?"
34988D''you remember?"
34988Did Reid lie to me when he said so, or did Carucci lie when he said that Reid was married to Lady?"
34988Did n''t you used to feel the same way about Lady when she was little and getting over the measles?"
34988Did you hear the name, or recognize the voice?"
34988Did you see those two ginks that we ran into in the door back there?"
34988Did you see us stop your fat friend?"
34988Do n''t come, do you hear?
34988Do n''t you know how dangerous it is to turn on light that way?"
34988Do n''t you see now?
34988Do n''t you sometimes call yourself Lady?"
34988Do n''t you want to come along?
34988Do they know you''re coming?"
34988Do ye think I look like a dead woman?"
34988Do you doubt it?
34988Do you mean that the some one else, the person who stands between you and me, is your mother?"
34988Do you remember Humpty Dumpty''s objection to Alice''s face, that it was just like other faces-- two eyes above, nose in the middle, mouth under?
34988Do you suppose any one that was actually held up and robbed of his fortune would think of the robber as merely a pleasant thrill?"
34988Do you suppose they interviewed him?"
34988Do you think it is nearly ready?
34988Do you think that she could climb that bank, even if you could?"
34988Do you think that you have been fair?
34988Do you think the truth can ever be wrong?"
34988Do you think there will actually be any extra search because of that?"
34988Do you think you should have risked following me?
34988Do you think you would enjoy the memory of a railroad accident-- even if you were n''t hurt yourself?"
34988Do you understand what I mean?
34988Do you understand?"
34988Do you want any more?"
34988Doc Reid, you know whom I mean?
34988Does she love him?"
34988Does this place trouble you?"
34988Excuse me, but you have really nothing to sell, have you?"
34988Fainted before the lights went on, you see?
34988Five dollars apiece would about cover my fine, would n''t it?"
34988For the love of God, what''s that?"
34988For why shud he harm my man?"
34988Had I touched upon some personal sorrow of her own?
34988Had some general order gone out against me?
34988Has Lady got back yet?"
34988Have a cigarette?
34988Have we been such very great friends?
34988Have you any notion who did it?"
34988Have you anything against me, that you''d swear to, yourself?"
34988Have you been running?"
34988Have you got the car outside?"
34988Have you lost anything in your fall?"
34988He frowned suddenly:"How much do you know?"
34988He is a reporter--""A_ what_?"
34988Honestly, do n''t you think we''re wastin''time?"
34988How about Miss Tabor''s warning me off for all time, and then meeting me here as if she had n''t seen me since Christmas?"
34988How about my door being locked?
34988How about the dago sailor at the inn?
34988How could she rest quiet after that, an''half her life callin''to her, an''the mother that would n''t let her go, an''had the power to see?
34988How long ago may we possibly date the commencement of this practice?"
34988How much truth is there in what your husband says?"
34988I ca n''t see faces yet, can you?"
34988I could not answer for a moment; then, as she drew her hand from mine,"What have I done?"
34988I cried,"how in the world did you get here?"
34988I have to know this now: Do you mean that it is true you have a sister, that her name is Miriam, and that she is-- that she was Doctor Reid''s wife?"
34988I intend to be certain that he has left the country; do you understand?"
34988I mean, whether Mrs. Mahl is a fake or not, ca n''t she be made to undo the work she has done, and discredit the dangerous belief she has taught?"
34988I said savagely,"what is it?"
34988I said,"and Mrs. Carucci-- is she badly hurt?"
34988I want to know who they''re after, you see?"
34988I want to talk to him?"
34988I''m trying to get a little truth about people we both care for; and if you say things like that, how can you expect me to believe anything?"
34988I''ve been having luncheon with Mr. Crosby,''You would n''t take the edge off of that disclosure?"
34988If the mother''s madness of bereavement were at the root of all, what had the family to conceal?
34988If we could reach that-- but how to make her not thus believe?"
34988Is he coming now?"
34988Is it Europe this summer, or the great libraries of America?"
34988Is it not because of your mother that you say these things?"
34988Is it not so?"
34988Is it so far clear?"
34988Is n''t it reckless of me?"
34988Is n''t it terrible?
34988Is that all?"
34988Is that clear?"
34988Is the car still at the door?"
34988Is there any water in there?"
34988It ca n''t be that you think her insane just because she believes in spiritualism?
34988It certainly could not be her own and yet-- whose was it, anyway?
34988Kin you look after things till Joe an''me git back?"
34988Laurie, where is that bag?
34988Look there-- the lady had fainted, you see?
34988Mahl?"
34988Mr. Crosby?
34988Mrs. Mahl, what is happening?"
34988Mrs. Tabor repeated, raising her brows,"lost?
34988No, what chauffeur?
34988Now are you satisfied?
34988Now tell me how you can reconcile it with your conscience, to bring me up here to listen to such a proposal as this?"
34988Now tell me,"he took me confidentially by the elbow,"w''at is it you want with Antonio Carucci?"
34988Now, what do you know about that?"
34988Now, will you meet all trains until further notice, and keep your eyes open?
34988Oh, ca n''t you understand?
34988On your word, is Miriam Tabor alive, or not?"
34988One of those reporters?"
34988One of those things on the bookcase, for instance?"
34988Or if one of themselves had been stricken, why had she denied me for all time, or indeed made any mystery of the matter?
34988Or meeting any one?"
34988Or was it only by accident that her hand went to it in her moments of brooding?
34988Or why should not the remaining daughter marry whom she chose?
34988Say, you ai n''t sore, are you?"
34988Shall I go first?"
34988Shall I go in?"
34988Shall I knock somebody up?
34988Shall we allow the wealthy to avoid those punishments which we impose upon the poor?
34988She turned to Mr. Tabor appealingly:"How can I deny my own faith?
34988So he marries the Tabor girl, you see?
34988Tabor?"
34988Tabor?"
34988Tabor?"
34988Tabor?"
34988Tell Mr. Tabor of this conversation, will you?
34988That clears the atmosphere pretty thoroughly, does n''t it?"
34988That crowd''s more afraid of the leadin''dailies than they are of the devil, you see?"
34988That''s all, you understand?
34988That''s what they let him out for, to watch him, you see?
34988The gum- shoes think he croaked his old woman, an''they''re waitin''for him to give himself or somebody else away, you see?
34988The incongruously matter- of- fact voice of the professor asked:"Are the hands all here?"
34988The trolley--""Well?"
34988Then Lady''s voice:"Mr. Crosby?
34988Then all at once, her coolness gave way, and she flung herself around upon us in a flood of tears:"You''re a nice crowd of men, are n''t you?"
34988Then as he helped me to raise Mrs. Tabor from her chair, he muttered:"Darn you, Laurie, what in blazes was bitin''you anyhow?"
34988Then with an astonished look about the room,"Why, where is she?"
34988There''s some nigger in this wood- pile that we do n''t know anythin''about, you see?"
34988There''s this gang of Psychics or Spiritualists or whatever they are, up the line here, you see?
34988They looked as if-- Does she love him, Miriam?
34988They send me out on these things because I generally make good, you see?"
34988They''re after the same dago, or else they''re after us, you see?
34988This Mr. Crosby?
34988Turn the lights on, Sheila-- and-- Lady, what have you done with my ring?"
34988Was I to cut you there?
34988Was I to explain to mutual friends that I did n''t want to meet you?
34988Was n''t there an ancestor of yours who went to sea in a bowl?"
34988Was that true?"
34988Was that true?"
34988Was that you?"
34988Was there not surely some connection here?
34988Was this her way of verifying her father''s opinion of me?
34988Well, are you comin''?"
34988Well, what about him?"
34988Well, what did you make of that feller, anyway?"
34988Were you the cheese that lugged the murdered scrubess down three flights of stairs?"
34988What am I to report?
34988What are you going to do next?"
34988What are you going to do with him?"
34988What business had he to behave as if he resented my being with her-- or for that matter, to resent anything she did?
34988What can we do?"
34988What difference does it make?
34988What difference does it make?"
34988What for?"
34988What has come to you all?"
34988What has happened?"
34988What have ye done with her, you an''your silly revenges?
34988What have you with her to do?"
34988What is there in darkness and the sense of night to make even the plainest woman so lovely?
34988What kind of a lookin''feller is he?"
34988What possible claim had I upon even the least of her thoughts?
34988What secret?
34988What should I be but safe?
34988What should make you think I was lost?"
34988What''s the matter?"
34988Where are the crew, and was n''t there another passenger?"
34988Where do you live?"
34988Where shall I put her?"
34988Where was Miriam?
34988Where''s mother?"
34988Where''s your gallantry?
34988Who did it?
34988Who in Heaven''s name was the man?
34988Who is he, anyway, and what the devil right has he to come and drag her away like this in the middle of her visit?"
34988Who is there?"
34988Who is this speaking?"
34988Who was I that I should question her?
34988Why are you all so nervous about me?"
34988Why ca n''t God let us live like other people?"
34988Why has it anything to do with us?"
34988Why is a train less romantic than a stage- coach?
34988Why on earth should he be rude to me?
34988Why should I?
34988Why should such a patent terror fill her at the thought of its loss?
34988Why should you ask these things again?"
34988Why was it again so finally and so quickly hidden away?
34988Why were they not apprehended?
34988Why, of course; but why doesn''t-- why do n''t you take some one else?"
34988Will she be out around the garden anywhere, I wonder?
34988Will some one turn down the light?"
34988Will you come down- stairs as soon as you can, very quietly?"
34988Will you do it, or not?
34988Will you go to New York, too, and keep an eye on them until Carucci has gone?
34988Will you please signal to the conductor?"
34988Will you shake hands?"
34988Will you tell her that I am here?"
34988Wo n''t they be shocked and surprised when they miss you?"
34988Wot''s de game, havin''yu''re pal chase along so far behind?"
34988Would it trouble you too much to walk along with me?
34988Would you mind looking, sir, while I''ll be seeing if she''s in the house?"
34988Ye''re only in the city for the day?"
34988You ca n''t tell whether it''s muck- rakin''or mud- slingin'', but it''s bound to be partly both, you see?
34988You can''ta fool Antonio,_ non cio- è_?"
34988You just want to cut out the comedy- chorus- man, you see?
34988You know that Doctor Reid that''s in with the Tabors?"
34988You know where to find him, Sheila, I suppose?"
34988You understand that?''
34988You''ll hang out at the Club, wo n''t you?"
34988You''re not going away, are you?
34988[ Illustration:"Do ye think I look like a dead woman?"]
34988_ But_, he''s just out of the jug, you see?
34988he chanted,"Safe now in the promised land-- where''s your bag?"
34988whined the voice,"you would n''t believe it anyway-- I do n''t want to talk to you-- Is mother there?"
34988you have lost something?"
34250All that sounds very romantic; and yet young men do win wealth and fame right here-- and why not you?
34250Always?
34250Am I dreaming?
34250Am I to be a son of my mother? 34250 And leave Lucy unguarded?"
34250And she would n''t do it?
34250And the letter-- have you forgotten that?
34250And yet how can I defend her?
34250And you accept that?
34250And you had a message from_ Altair_?
34250And you took all that in?
34250Are we starting back? 34250 Are we starting now?"
34250Are you prepared now-- to- night?
34250Are you related to this woman?
34250Are you still out of the body, Lucy?
34250Are you sure?
34250Are you there, Lucy?
34250Are you there, Margaret?
34250Boy, am I?
34250But did you? 34250 But have I prospered from these advices?"
34250But how can they?
34250But suppose you find my powers real?
34250But what becomes of the infallible Voices?
34250But what exactly do you intend to do with my mother?
34250But you heard the whisper, did you not?
34250By the way, who is Miss Wood?
34250Ca n''t we go now?
34250Ca n''t we sell something?
34250Ca n''t you go on with your studies here and pass your examination?
34250Ca n''t you see it?
34250Can any one accuse me of getting rich out of my''work''? 34250 Can it be that yesterday I was behind the bat?"
34250Can you ride a horse?
34250Can you, my own son, accuse me of trickery?
34250Can you? 34250 Could n''t you_ learn_ to love me?"
34250Could you see her?
34250Dark blue or light blue?
34250Did The Voices tell you that I was turned down everywhere on account of my mother''s reputation as a medium?
34250Did he know you had The Voices when he married you?
34250Did n''t you visit her during vacations?
34250Did n''t you?
34250Did she give her name?
34250Did some one drive up?
34250Did that man Pettus call just now?
34250Did you do that?
34250Did you fold her hands and put her in the position she occupies?
34250Did you formerly?
34250Did you see how that man produced that message?
34250Do many go to her for help of this kind?
34250Do n''t you see how intolerable all that is going to be for me?
34250Do n''t you? 34250 Do you call yourself an unprejudiced person?"
34250Do you expect me to call this place home? 34250 Do you mean that you quarreled?"
34250Do you mean the maid led you from the room?
34250Do you mean to say that the dead speak in voices audible to others than yourself?
34250Do you mean to tell me that_ you_ advise her how to invest her money?
34250Do you read Italian?
34250Do you realize that this failure means almost as much of a loss to you as it does to Louise?
34250Do you really believe that the dead speak to us?
34250Do you really hold stock in my mother''s Voices?
34250Do you think it possible?
34250Do you want to go to your room?
34250Do you wish to be tried here and now on this charge?
34250Does that shake your faith in the medium?
34250Father, are you here? 34250 From whom?"
34250Ghost- room?
34250Have the controls consented?
34250Have you any idea what the tests are to be?
34250Have you been here all day?
34250Have you called a doctor?
34250Have you read this thing, Frens?
34250Have you seen her?
34250Have you? 34250 He did n''t warn you of the coming of the reporter, did he?"
34250He said so much-- Where is mother?
34250He''s a ripping good fellow and a wonder at the bat, but what can we do? 34250 Heavenly is the word; but who did it?
34250Home? 34250 How about it, Vic?"
34250How are you?
34250How came the rose here? 34250 How can I go about this town seeking work to- morrow?
34250How can we do that? 34250 How can you believe that?
34250How can you help it?
34250How can you tell?
34250How could he help knowing it? 34250 How could we do that?"
34250How could you? 34250 How did you learn that?"
34250How do I get there?
34250How do they punish you?
34250How do you know?
34250How is she, Doctor?
34250How is she?
34250How is that? 34250 How is your mother?"
34250How much do you suppose you can borrow on it?
34250How still it all is?
34250How_ do_ you work that?
34250Husky chap, ai n''t he?
34250I am hoping she''s right, but I''m afraid that the doctors--"Is there anything I can do?
34250I do n''t see why? 34250 I hope you are not going to be angry with me?"
34250I hope you have n''t put your money into anything Pettus has control of?
34250I suppose people_ do_ go to St. Joe for other purposes than marriage?
34250I thought you were n''t going to discuss these subjects?
34250I wonder if that_ is_ a fly?
34250I wonder what is coming next?
34250I''m crazy to know what he did last night, and what he really thinks of us?
34250If I had ten dollars I''d ask you''why not?''
34250If mother still lives,he said to the nurse,"where is she?
34250In what way?
34250Is any one with your mother?
34250Is it Altair?
34250Is it Walter Bartol?
34250Is it Watts?
34250Is it as physical as that?
34250Is it smoke? 34250 Is n''t it horrible that I should be here without a dollar and without a single relative?
34250Is n''t that little man magnificent? 34250 Is n''t that smooth?"
34250Is she more cunning than I thought? 34250 Is that his picture up there on the wall?
34250Is that true?
34250Is the electric out, Ferguson?
34250Is this true?
34250Is this your son?
34250Is your curiosity satisfied?
34250Just what does he want to do, Victor?
34250Lucy, are you present? 34250 May I flashlight now?"
34250May I not sit for Louise?
34250May I sit?
34250May I take your name?
34250May I touch her?
34250Mother, are you going to sit for Pettus to- night?
34250Mother, are you sick?
34250Mother, did you speak?
34250Mother, how could you let me in for all of this? 34250 Mother, tell me this-- haven''t you noticed that your controls generally advise the things you believe in?"
34250Mother, what do you suppose he wants of me?
34250Mother, what is the matter? 34250 Mother,"he said, earnestly,"if Mr. Bartol gets us out of this scrape will you go away with me into some new country and give up this business?"
34250Mrs. Joyce, you are a believer in Mrs. Ollnee''s powers?
34250My niece, Leo, will be there-- surely you will respond to that lure?
34250No relation to Mrs. Ollnee, the medium?
34250No; who is_ Altair_ supposed to be?
34250Now who is doing that?
34250Now, what does that mean?
34250Now?
34250Of course not-- but--"What?
34250Oh, I am a brute now, am I? 34250 Oh, my boy, do you doubt me?
34250Oh, the suggestion came from The Voices, did it?
34250Oh, why ca n''t she quit this business? 34250 One of the servants may have dropped it there,"he now admitted;"and yet how could that be?
34250Really now, what can I do? 34250 Red ones, blue ones, brown ones-- which shall we begin on?"
34250See here, Gil,called Macey, holding up an illustrated page,"do you suppose this woman is any relation to Vic?"
34250Shall I fire?
34250Shall I flashlight that?
34250Shall we clasp hands, Lucy?
34250Shall we go home?
34250Shall we try another set?
34250She said danger threatened-- did she tell you what the danger was?
34250She was subject to trances, then?
34250She_ was_ beautiful, was n''t she? 34250 Since I have been grown up?"
34250So you are the son they spoke of?
34250Suppose mother should be recognized as we enter? 34250 Suppose you should advise buying the wrong thing?"
34250Taken? 34250 The bailiff?"
34250Then did you take to making a living out of the ghost- room?
34250Then you went to the library and read for a long time?
34250There''s a paper at the foot of the stairs; is that yours?
34250To be some man''s household drudge or pet?
34250To me?
34250Vic, what do you know of this business?
34250Was I calm and efficient? 34250 Was n''t it beautiful?
34250Well then-- will you remain here with me?
34250Well, just how did your separation come about?
34250Well, now, suppose these voices should turn out to be real? 34250 Well, why did n''t you sense the cause?"
34250Well, why do n''t you experiment with her? 34250 What about Pettus?"
34250What about the figure of your grandsire?
34250What am I fitted for? 34250 What are you going to do?"
34250What can I do?
34250What can we do?
34250What can we do?
34250What did he say to you? 34250 What did he say?"
34250What did she do?
34250What did you think your mother would do?
34250What do you expect me to do?
34250What do you expect to do?
34250What do you intend to do to- day?
34250What do you know of your mother''s power as a medium? 34250 What do you mean by courage?"
34250What do you mean by that?
34250What do you mean by''controls''?
34250What do you mean?
34250What do you mean?
34250What do you mean?
34250What do you suppose came to him?
34250What do you think ailed her?
34250What do you want with her?
34250What does he say?
34250What does it explain?
34250What does it say?
34250What does she want of me?
34250What has happened?
34250What have you been doing this morning?
34250What is his explanation?
34250What is it all about?
34250What is my strong point?
34250What is your reason for asking?
34250What is your will with me?
34250What kind of a den was this ghost- room?
34250What luck?
34250What makes you think that?
34250What powers?
34250What right have you to pass judgment on your mother without examining her? 34250 What sort of fiction do you read?"
34250What was the use? 34250 What will she say to me when we meet?"
34250What will you do with her Voices?
34250What''s that for?
34250What''s that?
34250What''s the excitement?
34250What''s the matter between you and Victor?
34250What''s the use of going to books? 34250 What''s the use?"
34250What? 34250 When did Altair first come?"
34250When did she die?
34250When did you discover your mother''s present condition?
34250When do we try?
34250When will you try this again?
34250Where are you now?
34250Where did that come from?
34250Where did they take her?
34250Where do you expect to find so much money?
34250Where does the form seem to be?
34250Where is the nearest''phone?
34250Where_ shall_ we go?
34250Who are here?
34250Who are you? 34250 Who are you?"
34250Who are you?
34250Who are you?
34250Who are you?
34250Who came for you? 34250 Who gets breakfast, you or I?"
34250Who is it?
34250Who told you anything was the matter?
34250Who touched me?
34250Whose fault is it?
34250Why are n''t you youngsters out on the lawn?
34250Why did n''t he tell us the truth before we voted him in here?
34250Why did n''t you make me a medium?
34250Why did you send me away from it all?
34250Why did you stay? 34250 Why do n''t we go back to La Crescent?
34250Why do n''t we have a sitting now?
34250Why do n''t you go to bed?
34250Why do you keep this rickety old thing?
34250Why does this vivid and cultured woman seek my mother''s society? 34250 Why not drive an automobile?
34250Why not join the league?
34250Why not?
34250Why not?
34250Why should I be disciplined? 34250 Why should they?
34250Why should you hate it? 34250 Why should you offer to do all that for us?"
34250Why should''they''know anything about business?
34250Why so, Victor?
34250Why?
34250Why?
34250Will you let me see her?
34250Will you wait till to- morrow before reporting?
34250Would you experiment with your own mother?
34250Would you mind taking my car and going to my home to tell Leonora where I am? 34250 Yes, do n''t you?"
34250You accept money for your services, do you not?
34250You believe in this woman''s Voices?
34250You distinguish between the Voices of your friend and her own personality, do you?
34250You do n''t intend to go out and nurse among strangers?
34250You do n''t mean to read books,protested Mrs. Joyce, energetically,"when you''ve the very source of all knowledge right here in your own house?
34250You do n''t seem to mind my loss of a degree?
34250You have a conviction? 34250 You mean Mr. Bartol has asked you?"
34250You mean a dead financier?
34250You mean everybody that went to my mother for advice?
34250You mean she has done this as-- as a medium?
34250You must have noticed how much like my mother she was? 34250 You will lose heavily in this traction swindle, if it is a swindle, will you not?"
34250You will not deny that you advised these investments?
34250You would not? 34250 You''ll surely come after dinner, Victor?"
34250You''re sure he wanted me? 34250 You''ve had no reason to doubt the genuineness of these messages?"
34250You? 34250 You_ think_ you''re honest, mother-- but do n''t you see you''ve become an_ unconscious hypnotist_?
34250Young people,he called, in a voice that somehow voiced a deep emotion,"do you realize that it is midnight?"
34250_ Do n''t you know me? 34250 _ Does this not prove the medium innocent of ventriloquism?_""Stinchfield-- what about this?"
34250_ Does this not prove the medium innocent of ventriloquism?_"Stinchfield-- what about this?
34250_ Father._"Who is speaking?
34250_ Grandfather?_"_ No._He hesitated before asking the next question.
34250_ Is this sufficient?_asked the unseen.
34250_ Mamma is here-- and Walter._"Can they speak?
34250_ Margaret._"Margaret? 34250 _ Matter, the strongest steel, is but a form of motion._""What is all that to me?"
34250_ Mysterious Psychic Forces._ Know this tome?
34250_ Victor_; what are you doing?
34250_ Wait._"Is there anything you want to say to Victor?
34250_ Will you swear the psychic did not do it?_asked the Voice.
34250_ Yes, I have come to speak to my grandson._"Do n''t you see him now?
34250_ Yes, yes, yes!_"Do you wish to speak to me?
34250_ Yes._"About your father?
34250_ Yes._"Through my mother?
34250_ Yes._"What shall we do?
34250_ Your father._"What have you to say to me?
34250A boy''s voice answered,"What ye want, maw?"
34250A policeman?"
34250A sibilant whisper replied,"_ Yes, soon._"A moment later, another and distinctly different voice called softly,"_ My son._""Who is it?"
34250After looking down into the silent face for a long time he asked, in stately fashion,"May I make momentary examination of the body?"
34250Aiken?"
34250Aiken?"
34250Altair._""I wonder who Altair is,"he mused, staring at the bit of paper,"and what is the danger that threatens?"
34250Am I not an inmate here?"
34250Am I right?"
34250Am I to hear voices and see visions?"
34250And finally, why should he employ"foreigners"?
34250And now may I see her?"
34250And yet all this seemed so difficult to believe-- and besides, if the girl came in her sleep, did it not prove her love quite as conclusively?
34250And, most important of all, why do''they''permit you to be hounded this way?
34250Are we to see Altair?"
34250Are you comfortable, mother?"
34250At last she said,"I''m hungry, are n''t you?"
34250At last she said:"Where is the morning_ Star_?
34250At length he asked,"Who is it-- Father?"
34250At seven o''clock she was forced to interrupt:"What_ are_ you children up to?"
34250Bartol said to Mrs. Ollnee:"Would you mind dressing for the performance?
34250Bartol?"
34250Bartol?"
34250Blodgett?"
34250But never mind-- where will I find your mother?"
34250Ca n''t I head him off somehow?"
34250Ca n''t you come over at once?
34250Ca n''t you persuade him to go back?
34250Can it be possible that I took it from her room?"
34250Can you prove your identity?"
34250Can you see me?"
34250Come, Victor, why do you shrink?
34250Come, what do you say?"
34250Could it be his mother''s breath?
34250Could it be that Leo had been his visitor?
34250Could it interpenetrate matter?
34250Could it project an etheric double of itself?
34250Could n''t you think of a newer one?"
34250Did Paul, or any one, advise you last night?"
34250Did he advise your uncle to go into this same transportation company?"
34250Did he believe in this thing?"
34250Did he ever study a wonderful psychic like your mother?
34250Did n''t he mean my mother?"
34250Did she long for human companionship?
34250Did she really exist, or was it merely some sort of hallucination?"
34250Did you catch it?"
34250Did you ever plague an ant or a bug by putting something in its way, checking its advance, no matter in which direction it went?"
34250Did you know that?"
34250Did you notice it?"
34250Did you, the night after our walk on the drive in the moonlight-- did you dream of me?"
34250Do n''t the belief in these things wipe out everything you have been taught at school?
34250Do n''t you feel it?"
34250Do n''t you hear me?"
34250Do n''t you hear them?
34250Do n''t you see I ca n''t take another cent of my mother''s money now that I know how it''s earned?"
34250Do n''t you see it?"
34250Do n''t you see that makes it impossible for either of us to remain here another day?"
34250Do n''t you think we''d better go in?
34250Do not touch her._""Mother, do n''t you know me?
34250Do you believe that story?"
34250Do you believe what they say against me?"
34250Do you believe what you saw and heard last night?"
34250Do you doubt?"
34250Do you expect me to hang about this scrubby hole to be disciplined by your Voices?"
34250Do you hear me?
34250Do you know that these Voices will not permit her to retain more than a scanty living out of all the wealth she makes for others?
34250Do you know what I think she was?"
34250Do you realize that?"
34250Do you share her faith?"
34250Do you suppose I''m going back there where all the fellows are laughing at me?
34250Do you think my mother unconsciously cheats?"
34250Does it explain Altair to you?"
34250Does n''t it show that there is no peace or security for either of us so long as we remain here?
34250Does she believe in your-- your Voices?"
34250For what reason does she lavish money upon her?
34250Has he candidly examined these phenomena?
34250Has she done so?"
34250Have n''t we had a heavenly day?"
34250Have you called a doctor?"
34250Have you had breakfast?"
34250Have you seen her slate- writing''stunt''?"
34250Have you seen it?"
34250Have you seen your mother this morning?"
34250Have you talked with your mother about our sitting?"
34250Have you thought of that, Doctor?"
34250He did not reply for a moment, and Mrs. Joyce eagerly called,"Did you hear that whisper, Victor?"
34250He hesitated a moment, then answered:"I''ve been mending that old table-- I suppose you heard about my smashing it?"
34250He laid his own vital, magnetic palm upon her arm, and finding it still cold and pulseless, called out:"Mother, do you hear me?
34250He sat in silence for a few moments, then burst out wildly:"Are we all going crazy together?
34250He went to her then, still in a daze, and to her question,"Did your father come?"
34250He will raise you high!_''""What do you mean by that?"
34250Her sudden return proved this-- and his hair rose at the thought of her clairvoyancy, and in answer to Mrs. Joyce''s question,"Why did you do it?"
34250Her voice was deep and full of dramatic fervor as she said:"You are Victor Ollnee?"
34250His mother was waiting for him on the porch, and as he came up, asked with shining face:"Is n''t this heavenly, Victor?"
34250How am I to pay my way?
34250How came she there?
34250How can I?"
34250How can they be anything but a delusion?"
34250How can they direct me in what I am to do?"
34250How could I convince them that I was not sharing in the profits of my mother''s business?
34250How could he continue to brood over his future with a lovely girl by his side and a sweet and tender spring landscape unrolling before him?
34250How could he refuse it?
34250How did he find you?"
34250How did that come about?"
34250How did you sleep?"
34250How do I know who is speaking to me?
34250How do they do that?"
34250How does Lucy take the promise of a test?"
34250How else can you explain these Voices?"
34250How was it possible for such service to go on during the master''s absence with apparently the same unerring precision of detail?
34250How was that bit of pencil moved?
34250How''s that?"
34250I have a reason for asking-- did you?"
34250I live._""Who are you?"
34250I suppose he gave me a bad name?
34250I suppose it is too much to expect that they will come up to- day?"
34250I think all that should be counted in on her side, do n''t you?
34250I wonder how many more such visitors we are to have?
34250I wonder if it emits heat?"
34250If I bring back a belief in immortality do I not make fullest recompense to my host?
34250If he knows so much about the future why did n''t he warn my mother against that reporter that came in the other day to do her up?
34250Is it Margaret?"
34250Is it because of her personal charm?
34250Is n''t it heavenly out here?"
34250Is n''t that true?"
34250Is she an aunt or a sister?"
34250Is she playing a more complex game than appears?"
34250Is she rich also?"
34250Is that right, Paul?"
34250Is that true?"
34250Is this the usual method of your communications?"
34250It humbled him, made him wonder if he were worth the risk she had run?
34250It''s too disturbing for them-- don''t you think so?"
34250Joe?"
34250Joyce?"
34250Leo, breathing a sigh of sad ecstasy, exclaimed:"Is she not beautiful?
34250Leo, will you stretch out, too?"
34250Let me take it?"
34250Let me tell you?
34250May I see them?"
34250Mrs. Joyce exclaimed,"You do not intend to cage her in that?"
34250Mrs. Ollnee and Mrs. Joyce came in as he was speaking, and Mrs. Joyce, after disposing herself comfortably, said,"Well, what is your report?"
34250Mrs. Ollnee, how will you have us sit?"
34250Of what avail to call it"material"?
34250Oh, Victor, you must promise me that should I pass out suddenly you will try to keep the spirit- way open between us-- will you promise this?"
34250Ollnee?"
34250Ollnee?"
34250Ollnee?"
34250Oppressed by the silence, Victor called out,"Mother, are you here?"
34250Or do I imagine it?"
34250Ought I to step in and stop it?"
34250Science?"
34250Shall I bring him in and give her over to all?"
34250Shall I flash my camera?"
34250She has sacrificed herself to keep me at school-- why should she deceive me?"
34250She knew enough of baseball slang to catch his meaning and she smiled as she asked,"Why do n''t you go back?"
34250She read an unmitigable opposition in his eyes and sadly said,"You''ll come here to sleep, wo n''t you?"
34250She turned her face upward, and, listening intently, asked,"What is the reason, father?"
34250Stinchfield?"
34250Suppose these messages have been from the dead?"
34250The man at the door wore an expression of well- governed concern, which led Leo to sharply ask:"What is it, Ferguson?
34250The question was simple: Could the human organism put forth from itself a supernumerary hand or arm?
34250The renowned lawyer gazed at the medium with eyes that burned deep, and presently he asked,"What have you to say to me?"
34250The tick counted one, two, three--"_Yes._""Some one to speak to me?"
34250Their minds are just the same as they were, are n''t they?"
34250Then his filial self answered:"But what has she to gain?
34250There was a little silence before Victor was able to ask,"Where did he go?"
34250They were both a little dashed by Victor''s appearance as he queried, with scowling brow,"What do you want?"
34250They''ve made Louise and Leo rich-- I suppose you know that?"
34250To test it, he asked,"Are you a spirit?"
34250Victor called out to his mother:"Can you hear The Voices, mother?
34250Victor sat down beside his mother, whispering,"What is it all about?"
34250Wait._""Who spoke?"
34250Was Altair but a transitory flower of the dark-- aloof, intangible, and sad?
34250Was ever such a week of trial and perplexity thrust upon a youth?
34250Was it possible that thought could be precipitated like dew upon a sheet of paper?
34250Was it you, Lucy?"
34250Was she unhappy in the icy realms from which she came?
34250We are agreed that she is not_ consciously_ deceptive?"
34250We ca n''t exhibit her in a trance?"
34250Well, and you believe''the great commodore''comes to our little hole of a home to advise us?
34250What I can not understand is this-- Why did your father and his band permit these treacherous personalities to intervene?
34250What Margaret?"
34250What about Miss Wood?
34250What can you know of me in so short a time?"
34250What caused it?"
34250What claim have we on this big, busy man?
34250What did The Voices give you?"
34250What did he do for a living?"
34250What did he think?"
34250What did they advise you to do?"
34250What do I care?
34250What do they know of this great city?
34250What do you want here?"
34250What does he know about it?
34250What does it all mean?
34250What form has she taken?"
34250What has happened to you?"
34250What has happened?"
34250What has she done to make you bitter?"
34250What have I done?"
34250What have we who are young and vigorous to do with the dead, anyway?
34250What have you been doing?"
34250What have you to say to that?"
34250What is it all about?"
34250What is it?"
34250What kind of a session did you have?
34250What meant the wistful sweetness of her smile?
34250What right have we to sit here?"
34250What shall I do?"
34250What the youth was really saying to the maid was this:"What did you get out of it all?
34250What time do you suppose it is?"
34250What time is it?"
34250What was he?
34250What were ghosts, inventions, theories, compared to the satin- smooth curve of the maiden''s cheek or the delicate flutter of her lashes?
34250What were these invisible, intangible barriers which confined him?
34250What will he find?"
34250What will you do, boy?"
34250What would you do in my place?
34250What?
34250When will my mother''s case come up?"
34250Where are Aunt Louise and your mother?
34250Where are you going to have this performance?"
34250Where is Leo?"
34250Who brought it?"
34250Who had planned and organized this wide- walled, low- toned room, this marvelously effective cuisine?
34250Who have taken her?"
34250Who is this great financier who is so willing to help you decide what to do with other people''s money?"
34250Who organized it?"
34250Who was my father?
34250Who was she?
34250Who?
34250Why did his mother''s left hand quiver-- and how could that writing shape itself?
34250Why did n''t he permit me to stay on at Winona and get my degree?"
34250Why did n''t you go before?"
34250Why did n''t you go in for civil engineering or chemistry?"
34250Why did n''t you tell me?"
34250Why did n''t''they''warn you?
34250Why did they not defend her from these demons?"
34250Why did you send me to college, knowing that sooner or later exposure must come?"
34250Why do n''t you go for a ride in the park?
34250Why do n''t you go in for that?"
34250Why do n''t''they''help me?"
34250Why do you look so sad?"
34250Why does fire burn and water run?
34250Why had he bought the place?
34250Why is her work less honorable than singing, for example?
34250Why not find out something about it?
34250Why not?"
34250Why should a poor farmer like my grandfather by just merely dying become a great financier?"
34250Why should a woman''s career mean only marriage?"
34250Why should father or grandfather know any more about stocks now than he did before he died?"
34250Why should his life be thrown into the midst of such cheap and ill- odored drama?
34250Why should it?
34250Why should she attract and hold a lady like Mrs. Joyce?
34250Why should you?"
34250Why slam into Vic?"
34250Why, after it was bought, should he spend so much money on it?
34250Why?"
34250Will you help me?"
34250Will you listen to me?
34250Will you make this synopsis to- day?"
34250Will you permit this?"
34250Will you promise that?"
34250Will you wear it for me?"
34250Would anything so beautiful ever come again?
34250Would her interest be the same if The Voices had not enriched her?
34250Would she come again?
34250Would the_ Star_ forego its malignant assault upon her character now that she was gone beyond its reach?
34250Would those who threatened her with arrest be remorseful?
34250Would we not all go back again to this sweet land of love and longing-- if we could?
34250Would you have your mother seek him out to convince him?
34250Would you marry a man like Stainton Moses or David Home?"
34250You mended it, did n''t you?"
34250You''re her son, eh?"
34250You''ve seen him?
34250_ Will_ you come again?"
34250_ mother!_ Are you ill?"
34250called Mrs. Joyce; and then with true motor spirit, addressed the driver:"What''s the time, Denis?"
4251-he queried, glancing at me--Does she''express''herself in radiance?"
4251Afraid?
4251Am I rude?
4251Am I? 4251 And afterwards?"
4251And can you?
4251And humility?
4251And one of these two was--?
4251And that is-- what?
4251And then?
4251And to what did your severe ordeal lead?
4251And to- night--?
4251And what did he say?
4251And you think he has won?
4251And--here Mr. Harland hesitated, then went on--"Are you married?"
4251Are you in dreamland?
4251Are you quite sure of that?
4251Are you ready to start now?
4251Are you speaking Gaelic?
4251Are you sure of that?
4251Are you sure you do not?
4251Are you sure?
4251Are you?
4251As a gift?
4251But do you not see that you are shutting yourself out from love?
4251But suppose they are beautiful and happy memories?
4251But surely,--I said, with some hesitation--"Phoenician is no longer known or spoken?"
4251But what''s the use of telling me this?
4251But you asked me,I went on--"did you not, to tell you why it is that I am contented and happy?
4251But, after all, is this not a truth?
4251But-- if others stand in the way?
4251By what?
4251Can you deny it?
4251Can you read people''s thoughts?
4251Can you say it wrongly?
4251Captain, will you get the boat lowered, please?
4251Catherine,I went on, abruptly--"Will you let me leave you in a day or two?
4251Could you not explain?
4251Curable by outward applications of electricity?
4251Did I not tell you and others long ago that for me there is no such thing as time, but only eternity? 4251 Did the''wild Highland fellow''name me?"
4251Do I laugh at serious things?
4251Do I look like a man that has failed?
4251Do you consider his influence harmful?
4251Do you endorse that verdict, Miss Harland?
4251Do you hear me?
4251Do you know I am rather disappointed in you?
4251Do you like his theories?
4251Do you mean to tell me,--do you DARE to tell me--he said--"that you see any''aura,''as you call it, round my personality?"
4251Do you not know?
4251Do you not? 4251 Do you think God ever gets tired?"
4251Do you think it is a REAL yacht?
4251Does he consider himself immune from the common lot of mortals?
4251Does it still beat?
4251Dr. Brayle tells you that?
4251Everlastingness?
4251Excuse me, sir,--he said, suddenly--"but may I ask how it is you sail without wind?"
4251Father is vexed you are going,--she went on--"He says it is all my silly nonsense and hysterical fancies-- do you think it is?"
4251Has he any special treatment for you?
4251Has it not, even in your pursuit and attainment of wealth, brought you more pain than pleasure? 4251 Have you come to fetch me?"
4251Have you no curiosity?
4251Have you not left yourselves out?
4251How can I help you when you leave me?
4251How can it be Santoris?
4251How can you say so?
4251How did you know?
4251How do you know you have not lost him already?
4251How has life wronged me?
4251I am-- but how can you tell?
4251I ca n''t see what you mean,--she said--"How can I love?
4251I do n''t know,she answered--"I scarcely heard--"""Your father does n''t believe in love,"he said--"Do you?"
4251I have two patients on board,--he answered, smiling--"Which one?"
4251I hope you''re quite comfortable on board,--she resumed, presently--"Have you all you want in your rooms?"
4251I look it, do n''t I?
4251I mean, do you like the idea of there being no death and that we only change from one life to another and so on for ever?
4251I never heard of him till your father spoke of him,--and never saw him till--"Till when?
4251I see Mr. Harland''s yacht has returned to her moorings,--he said, after a while, addressing his men,"When did she come back?"
4251I suppose he is paid a good deal for his services?
4251I suppose if Aselzion told her the truth she would go at once?
4251I think I do,--I answered--"But is it possible always to make this effort of the Will?"
4251I think I do,--I said--"You mean that I must stand alone?"
4251I think YOU knew him,he went on, addressing me directly, with a straight glance--"You met him some years back, did you not?"
4251I understand,he said--"that you are interested in the lighting of my yacht?"
4251I wonder if I shall ever meet you again?
4251I''m sure you are convinced that Santoris is honest,he said--"Are you not?"
4251I? 4251 If I give you a straight answer, such as I feel to be the truth in myself, will you be offended?"
4251If I have any psychic force at all,I responded,--"where do you suppose it should come from but that which gives vitality to all animate Nature?
4251If we made mistakes, could we altogether help it?
4251If you should not return to this room,--he said, slowly--"is there any message-- any communication you would like me to convey to your friends?"
4251In what way should I doubt him?
4251Is admiration of the beautiful a special privilege of men only?
4251Is he such a very terrible gentleman, then?
4251Is it a time for compliments?
4251Is it not something more than beautiful?
4251Is n''t it too late to talk about such things to- night?
4251Is n''t that so?
4251Is that a sign of grace and consolation?
4251Is that your experience?
4251Is your curious conception or ideal of love the reason, why you have never married?
4251It amuses you, does n''t it?
4251It has not occurred to you-- I suppose you have not thought-- that-- that it may be an illusion?
4251It is frequently very selfish,--she said--"I want to tell you my love- story-- may I?"
4251It''s curious you should meet him again like this,--said Catherine--"But surely, father, he''s not as old as you are?"
4251It''s rather strange, is n''t it?
4251Master--he said,"would it not be better to die than to grow old?
4251May I go on smoking?
4251Miss Harland, pray go back to your cabin-- you are not strong enough--"What''s the matter, Catherine?
4251Must the glory fade?
4251My enemy?
4251Mystery?
4251No, I do not,--she said, with quick, almost querulous?
4251No? 4251 Not in you, surely?"
4251Oh, do you call it resignation?
4251Oh, do you not? 4251 On me?"
4251One may feel a pardonable curiosity,he said,"And a desire to know--""To know what?"
4251Or too little?
4251Ought we?
4251Quite regular, is n''t it?
4251Really not? 4251 Really?"
4251Results? 4251 Say, Donald,"he began, invitingly--"did you see the big yacht that came in last night about ten o''clock?"
4251Shall I not see you again?
4251Shall we put it off?
4251Should I?
4251So am I,I answered--"But, after all-- you would hardly want him to stay, would you?
4251Something of the country we are in,--said Mr. Harland--"Don''t you know any of those old wild Gaelic airs?"
4251Strong?
4251Suppose we say noon?
4251Surely she''s very large for a sailing vessel?
4251Surely that is not what you think at the bottom of your heart?
4251Surely you do not maintain that a man is responsible for his own ailments?
4251Surely you know how difficult it is for me?
4251Tell me,--I half whispered--"Have I failed?"
4251Tell me,he persisted, softly--"Is there very much that we do not, if we are true to each other, know already?"
4251Tell me,he said,--"and be perfectly frank about it-- what is it you see in Brayle that rouses such a spirit of antagonism in you?"
4251That is so, is n''t it?
4251That is your desire?--to help him and to be all in all to him?
4251The gentleman? 4251 The largest I''ve ever seen,"--he replied--"But how did she sail?
4251The woman here is the latest victim of his hypnotic suggestions, is n''t she?
4251The yacht?
4251Then how did she get here?
4251Then why do you trouble about me?
4251Then why not end it?
4251Then-- is Creation a lie?
4251Then? 4251 There''s nothing remarkable in that, is there?"
4251To business men they are--"And business itself? 4251 Transformed?"
4251Vexed? 4251 Was he?"
4251Was it a compliment?
4251Was it?
4251Well, Catherine, then,--I said, smiling a little--"Surely you know why I am contented and happy?"
4251Well, Harland, how are you?
4251Well, are you willing?
4251Well, what is it?
4251Well, why do you not give me the obvious answer?
4251Were you? 4251 What about our little friend''s''aura''?
4251What accusation do you bring against life?
4251What are these?
4251What are those opinions?
4251What can I do?
4251What did I tell you the other day?
4251What do you mean by that?
4251What do you mean by that?
4251What do you mean?
4251What do you say to leaving me on board while you and my little friend go and see your sunset effect on Loch Coruisk by yourselves?
4251What do you say? 4251 What do you think about it?"
4251What does all this mean?
4251What does the world seek most ardently?
4251What is it? 4251 What is your opinion of Santoris?"
4251What sort of an interview did you have with that gentleman when you got on board his yacht?
4251What then? 4251 What whole thing?"
4251What will happen if I fail?
4251What would you call proper care?
4251What wouldst thou do for Love?
4251What''s his name?
4251What''s the use of gaining anything if it is to be lost at a moment''s bidding?
4251When you married,I said, at last--"did you not marry for love?"
4251Who arranged these rooms?
4251Who denies your right to go far if you have the strength and courage?
4251Who is responsible,--I said to myself--"for the sense of fear?
4251Who speaks of losing the way?
4251Why a princess?
4251Why did you wish me to explain, then?
4251Why do you laugh?
4251Why do you look at me like that?
4251Why do you not let him try?
4251Why do you say that Catherine will be better when you are gone?
4251Why do you say that?
4251Why do you want to go by the steamer?
4251Why does n''t he write a novel? 4251 Why for me in particular?"
4251Why not apply it yourself?
4251Why not exchange courtesies?
4251Why not? 4251 Why should it seem to you so wonderful?"
4251Why, what''s the matter with you?
4251Why,--I murmured to myself, for I did not suppose anyone could or would hear me--"why should we and our world perish?
4251Why,I pursued--"should you come to me with warnings against those whom God or Destiny has brought into my life?
4251Why? 4251 Will you go in and rest for a while till luncheon?"
4251Will you meet Santoris again, do you think?
4251Without wind, eh?
4251Would it not rather depend on the particular choice each one of us might make? 4251 Would you LIKE to meet him again?"
4251Would you be sorry if I could?
4251Yes? 4251 You are really going away?"
4251You are resolved, then?
4251You are satisfied with your researches, then?
4251You are seeking the Master?
4251You are something of a spiritualist, I believe?
4251You believe in that?
4251You can ask that?
4251You do n''t care for sunsets?
4251You do not-- you will not misjudge me?
4251You enjoyed yourself at Loch Coruisk, did n''t you?
4251You have never met your ideal, I suppose?
4251You know he is very ill,--she went on--"and that he can not live long?"
4251You mean occult mysteries and things of that sort?
4251You prefer to believe Brayle, of course?
4251You really and truly think Brayle an impostor?
4251You surely did n''t think she was in any danger?
4251You think so? 4251 You went abroad from Oxford?"
4251You were not afraid of him, then?
4251You will not say,he interrupted me--"that you have no dislike of me?"
4251You will take these, I hope?
4251You wish to speak to me alone,said Santoris, then--"Do you not?
4251You wo n''t come, then?
4251You''re not vexed with me for speaking as I have done?
4251You''re sure you do not mind?
4251Your men are not Highlanders?
4251Your task is not finished, then?
4251''I do n''t see it,''I blurted out, angrily--''What of the other fellows?
4251''What''s the matter with you, Harland?''
4251--I answered--"Why should I be offended?"
4251--I echoed, smiling--"In what way?"
4251--I said, almost pleadingly--"Why should it not remain with us?"
4251--She paused.--"Shall I tell it to you?"
4251--and his eyes were full of kindness as he looked at me--"and I want to know if you thoroughly realise the importance of the lesson we have taught?"
4251--he cried--"Of what use then is life?
4251--he stammered--"And-- er-- if there should be no one--""What do you mean?"
4251A curious resentment awoke in me at her words-- had I indeed no lover?
4251A shadow of something like sternness clouded his brows, and I began to be afraid-- yet afraid of what?
4251After a little the tension of suspense became unbearable and I spoke again--"How did I escape?"
4251After all, what was the use of my anger or excitement?
4251Ah!--but they spoke of the death of him whom I loved!--must I not listen?
4251All these questions should have answer,--for nothing is without a meaning,--and nothing ever HAS BEEN, or ever WILL BE, without a purpose?
4251Am I touching on some old memory?
4251Among your many accomplishments do you count the art of medicine?"
4251And I smiled a little--"Why?"
4251And I''m not a Christian Scientist either?"
4251And Santoris gave him a quick, straight glance--"But what do you mean by''imaginary''and''transcendental''?
4251And can she not serve you as an object lesson?"
4251And her voice had no tremor--"With you?"
4251And his brows knitted perplexedly--"If we knew, would we take the necessary trouble?
4251And if those two souls were destined lovers, COULD they be divided, even by their own rashness?
4251And in my foolish pride I had voluntarily severed myself from him!--was this my punishment?
4251And now-- had the answer come?
4251And of Aselzion''s splendid prime when he should be old and feeble?
4251And of Love?
4251And she turned to the old man beside her with an appealing gesture--"Is it not so?"
4251And that love of woman?--was she your true mate?--or only a thing of eyes and hair and vanity?
4251And the captain''s look expressed volumes--"Where is she?"
4251And the deep answering tones were full of music,--the music of a grave and infinitely tender compassion--"Why did you doubt it?
4251And to what purpose?"
4251And what did they signify?
4251And why call upon God?
4251And why should you attempt it?
4251And why?
4251And yet-- who were those persons, if persons they were, who talked of him with such easy callousness?
4251And yet-- why should we listen to them?
4251And you-- you will meet Mr. Santoris again, do you think?"
4251And-- had I yielded to the temptation?
4251Are you bent on the very highest and most unselfish ideals of life and conduct?
4251As I sat by the window thinking and dreaming, I began to wonder what would be the nature of that''last fear''of which Aselzion had spoken?
4251At any rate, you have no distrust of him?
4251At last I spoke--"I would rather die, if death were possible, than lose his love"--I said--"And where there is no love, surely there must be death?"
4251But ARE you?
4251But I wish you would tell me--""All about myself?"
4251But if this were so, what could be his object?
4251But if you would consider the point logically-- you might enquire what motive could he possibly have for playing the humbug with me?"
4251But is n''t this Miss Harland''s cabin?"
4251But that secret which you are reported to possess-- the secret of wonderful abounding exhaustless vitality-- how does it happen that you have it?
4251But then the question presented itself-- What had I gained?
4251But was ever love so expressed?--and had it ever before such a far- off beginning?
4251But what does it matter after all?
4251But where?
4251But why should I or you or anyone else think about it?
4251But with me it is different-- perhaps when I am away I shall be able to think more calmly--""You are going away?"
4251But, had I not the testimony of my own eyes?
4251But-- had it come to this?
4251But-- was it wise?
4251Can it be the influence of Santoris?
4251Can you put up with my company for an hour or two and allow me to be your guide to Loch Coruisk?
4251Can you wonder that I refuse to be''drawn''?"
4251Canst thou listen to falsehood bearing witness against truth, and yet love on?
4251Captain Derrick waited for someone to hazard a remark, then, as we remained silent, he addressed Mr. Harland--"Well, sir, what do you make of it?"
4251Come, are we all ready?"
4251Could I explain it, even to myself?
4251Could it be possible that what they said was true?
4251Could it kill me with sheer terror?
4251DOST THOU BELIEVE IT?"
4251DOST THOU BELIEVE IT?"
4251Dared I trust to these suggestions which the worldly- wise would call mere imagination?
4251Days or weeks?
4251Dear Miss Harland, do you really believe in that way of administering electricity?"
4251Did I believe in my lover''s love, or did I doubt it?
4251Did the whole responsibility rest with me, I wondered?
4251Did you see the yacht?"
4251Did you seek to know whether that Soul had ever wakened within her, or were you too well satisfied with her surface beauty to care?
4251Did your passion touch her body only, or did it reach her Soul?
4251Directly I entered her cabin she said:"Where did you get that bright bit of heather?"
4251Do you believe in the actual immortality of your soul, and do you realise what it means?
4251Do you know how long we have been separated already?"
4251Do you really want to know?"
4251Do you seek to be one of them?"
4251Do you truly think that when death shall come to you it is really NOT death, but the simple transition into another and better life?
4251Does this teach no lesson on the resurrection of the dead?
4251For a moment I could not realise what had been said and tried to repeat both question and answer--''Where did the yacht go down?''
4251For here she suddenly leaned forward and took my hand, looking earnestly in my face--"How can you imagine such a thing possible?"
4251For instance, you are in pain now?"
4251For what avails the power of man if he may not bend a woman to his will?
4251For what was Rafel Santoris to me?
4251Gone down?
4251Had I been long absent from this room, I wondered?
4251Had I failed?
4251Had I failed?
4251Harland, will you all come over to the yacht to- morrow?
4251Have you not watched us long enough to make discovery easy?
4251Have you seen her?"
4251Having read thus far, I paused-- the little room in which I sat appeared darker-- or was it my fancy?
4251He does enjoy it, and why?
4251He rubbed his hand wearily over his brows-- then asked--"Did you sleep well?"
4251Here he turned to me--"Will you come on deck for a little while before bedtime, or would you rather rest?"
4251How can I choose-- yet?
4251How can I do otherwise, seeing that it is the Key to the Soul of Nature?"
4251How could I say otherwise?
4251How dare I say that I scarcely knew one who had been known to me for ages?
4251How dared these people restrain my liberty?
4251How did he know, how could he know, the intimate details of a life like Catherine''s which could scarcely be of interest to a man such as he was?
4251How do you know that you have not been deceiving yourself ever since your gradual evolvement from subconscious into conscious life?
4251How do you know?"
4251How does he manage that business?"
4251How has life wronged me?
4251How shall we find each other?
4251How was that?"
4251How will you endure these trials?--what will be your method of action?"
4251How?"
4251I answered him--"Did you see nothing of it?"
4251I answered--"Don''t you see people moving about on board?"
4251I answered;--"If you feel like that, why not give it up at once?"
4251I asked him, quickly--"Why do you want to find out that something in me which baffles both Dr. Brayle and yourself?"
4251I asked, and looking up in the moonlight to my companion''s face I saw that it wore a puzzled expression--"Hardly conventional, I suppose?"
4251I asked, and my voice trembled in spite of myself--"To you as well as to me?"
4251I asked, laughingly,"Was she a real yacht or a ghost?"
4251I asked, with some warmth--"How can you obtain what you are secretly craving for, if you persist in denying what is true?
4251I asked--"Does it not seem that we tried for the best?"
4251I asked--"Who saved me when I fell?"
4251I began to wonder how long I had been a''probationer''in the House of Aselzion?
4251I demanded-"What right has HE to judge me?"
4251I echoed--"And why?"
4251I exclaimed--"Surely you will not go--""I must,"he answered, quietly,--"Are not YOU going?
4251I exclaimed--"To make a misery of what should have been a gladness?
4251I had sought long and unwearyingly for the clue to the secret of life imperishable and love eternal,--was the mystery about to be unveiled?
4251I had struggled against the terror of its first spectral appearance, and had conquered my fears,--why was I now shaken from my self- control?
4251I half whispered-"What is it I must know?
4251I murmured--"Will you come to me?--or shall I go to you?
4251I pressed my hands to my eyes to try and cool their burning ache-- was it possible that what these voices said could be true?
4251I queried--"To consider yourself?"
4251I queried--"When the mischief is in the mind?
4251I repeated--"Surely where life exists there is no end?"
4251I said, hotly--''So you consider me and my friends crooked pigstyes in your landscape?''
4251I said, suddenly,--"Here we are-- two yachts anchored near each other in a lonely lake,--why should we not know each other?
4251I said--"May I come on the bridge?"
4251I said--"Or why not let me go away?
4251I said--"You are quite certain of that?"
4251I say again-- Will you THINK with me?
4251I spoke the words aloud-- then went on reading--"What is Heaven?
4251I was full of doubts and imagined evils-- and why?
4251I wonder how you manage it?
4251If I am in danger how shall I escape from it?"
4251If I were indeed an utter stranger to him, why should he take this trouble?
4251If so, why such waste of brain and heart and love and patience?
4251If that was true how came he here?
4251If the happiness of the one I loved was obtained through other means than mine, ought I to grudge it?
4251If, as you teach us, there is no real death, should there be any real decay?
4251In every great lesson of life or scientific discovery people ask first of all''How can_ I_ benefit by it?''
4251In fact, my dear Harland, as you have schooled yourself to believe NOTHING, why urge me to point out a truth you decline to accept?
4251In what way?"
4251Instinctively I pressed my hand against my heart and felt the letter my''lover''had given me-- surely that was no dream?
4251Into the rosy grace Of the sun''s deep setting- place?
4251Is it for such a monotonous, commonplace way of life and purpose as this, that humanity has been endowed with''infinite faculty''?
4251Is it for the many or only for the few?
4251Is it not I alone who am the instigator of my own dread?--and can this dark, dumb Spectre do more to me than is ordained for my blessing in the end?"
4251Is it not also from some points of view a''nothing''?"
4251Is it not best to yield to the insistence of the music of life while it sounds in our ears?
4251Is it not possible to avoid the errors of the past?"
4251Is it not so?"
4251Is it not so?"
4251Is it not strange that even the eager spirit, craving for its preordained mate, is subject to error?
4251Is it not too often a mere blasphemy and affront to the majesty of the Divine?
4251Is it pride, defiance, or ambition with you?--or is it all love?"
4251Is it the sea air, the sunshine, or-- Santoris?"
4251Is not the Deity Himself the Supreme Lover?--and wouldst thou have me a castaway from His holiest ordinance?
4251Is that agreed?"
4251Is that quite candid?"
4251Is that settled?"
4251Is the Soul to be moved from its centre by casual opinion?
4251Is the boat ready?"
4251It may be asked how I dare to make such an assertion?
4251It''s most kind of you to offer to stay with me and to give up an evening''s pleasure-- for I suppose it IS a pleasure?
4251It''s not much of a climb; will you feel equal to it?"
4251It''s such a lonely place,"--and a slight tremor ran through me as I played a few soft chords--"What shall I sing to you?"
4251Just to think that I am not merely wilful or rebellious in parting from you for a little while-- for if it is true--""If what is true?"
4251Let the savage lusts and treacheries and cruelties of merely brutish and unspiritualised humanity bear witness?
4251May I ask you to follow me?"
4251May I go on?"
4251May I say good- night?"
4251My heart beat quickly as he spoke; something rose up in me like a response to a call, and I wondered-- Did he assume to master ME?
4251Now they have come back into his possession--""Father, who told you all this?"
4251Now we have talked enough about all these theories, which are not interesting to anyone who is not prepared to accept them-- shall we go up on deck?"
4251Now, do you begin to understand?"
4251O Soul that seekest the way to wisdom and to power, what dost thou make of Love?"
4251O crown of my best manhood!--when wilt thou come to me?"
4251O my genius!--my angel!--am I so hard to read?--so difficult to win?"
4251Of Death?
4251Of the''new form of matter''and the''radio- activity as a concomitant of the CHANGE OF FORM''?
4251Of what avail then is the struggle of human life?
4251Of what use, then, is the struggle we are for ever making in our narrow and limited daily lives to resist the wise and holy teaching of Nature?
4251Oh, can you not see this in me?"
4251Oh, what can I do to help you?"
4251One of the reasons that made me so anxious to have you come on this trip with us is that you always seem contented and happy,--and I want to know why?
4251Or foolish?
4251Or would you, too, rather not see the sunset?
4251Ought that to make any difference in my love for him?
4251People often try to meet again and never do-- haven''t you noticed that?
4251Perhaps you have met each other before?"
4251Pity him?
4251Presently she said:"Are you going on deck now?"
4251Santoris?"
4251Shall I go on with my own story, or have you heard enough?"
4251Shall we go on deck now?"
4251Shall we walk a little?"
4251She is hysterical, of course,--but what has caused it?
4251Should I never see him again, I wondered?
4251Should I not hear?
4251Should it be obeyed?
4251Some think they are finding it--""You, for example?"
4251Something cold seemed to send a shiver through my blood-- was it some stray fragment of memory from the past that stirred me to a sense of pain?
4251Stay!--how foolish of me!--''a great part of my life''?--then what part of it?
4251Such as--?"
4251Suddenly Santoris spoke:"Now shall I tell you where we last met?"
4251Surely in that case the terror would be my own fault, for why should I be afraid?
4251Surely these are not barbarous beliefs?"
4251Surely this was a sufficient proof that I was not forgotten by him who had professed to love me?--and that his aid might still be depended upon?
4251Surely you see the connection?"
4251Tell me where?
4251Tell me, what are my''wicked theories''?"
4251The moon and the sea?--or any other mystery as deep and incomprehensible?"
4251The owner of the yacht, you mean?"
4251The so- called''practical''person would have said to me:--''Why are you happy?''
4251The thing called Death being no more than a Living Change did it matter so much when or how the change was effected?
4251Then the voice put this question--"Dost thou truly believe in God, thy Creator, the Maker of heaven and earth?"
4251Then the voice spoke once more--"Dost thou believe in Love, the generator of Life and the moving Cause and Mind of all created things?"
4251Then was it a real love that I felt, or merely a blind obedience to some hypnotic influence?
4251Then where had I known luxury?
4251Then you can return to your own home and forget--""Forget what?"
4251Then, do you live as one convinced of it?
4251There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body"?
4251There was some actual danger in store for me, then?
4251They spoke of rescue,--rescue from what?
4251This was the end, then?
4251To help you?"
4251To that one I address myself and say: Will you, to begin with, drop your burden of preconceived opinions and prejudices, whatever they are?
4251To the glittering rainbow strand Of Love''s enchanted land?
4251True, I was locked up in my own room like a naughty child, but did it matter so very much?
4251Unsuitable, to say the least of it?''
4251Was I not myselt the witness of his altered mind?
4251Was this fearful suggestion a temptation or a test?
4251Was_ I_''a faithful student''?
4251We feared-- did we not?"
4251We knew so little at the beginning, and we know so little now,--is it altogether our fault if we have lost our way?"
4251What can I tell you?"
4251What did it mean?--The yacht?
4251What did they mean?
4251What difference could a few years more or less bring, if we were bound, by the eternal laws governing us, to become united in the end?
4251What do YOU think of him?"
4251What do you say, Harland?"
4251What do you say?"
4251What do you say?"
4251What do you think of the mystery now?"
4251What does Life matter if Love be untrue?
4251What have they really to do with us?
4251What is Happiness?
4251What is it to me that this person or that person approves or disapproves my actions?
4251What is it you would have me do?"
4251What is it?
4251What is it?
4251What is the primary object of Living?
4251What is the problem solved by Dying?
4251What mad idea has she got into her head about a murder?"
4251What more could Faust desire than love?"
4251What now?"
4251What of him?"
4251What path of the flashing sea Seems best for you and me?
4251What time is it?"
4251What view of the divine passion do they take as a rule?
4251What was the cause?
4251What yacht?
4251What''s the use of our trying to encourage''health- working microbes''?
4251What, after all, can I offer you?
4251What, after all, could this Phantom-- if Phantom it were-- do to work me harm?
4251When shall we attune our lives together in that harmonious chord which shall sound its music sweetly through eternity?
4251When will you realise that there is no such thing as''coincidence''but only a very exact system of mathematics?"
4251Where did the yacht go down?"
4251Where had I heard those words?
4251Where is Love?"
4251Where is it satisfied?
4251Where is she?"
4251Where would it be?
4251Which of us was to blame?
4251Whither?
4251Whither?
4251Whither?
4251Whither?
4251Who asked you to count them or to consider them?
4251Who can slay a hope but him in whose soul it was born?
4251Who could, who WOULD live for ever quite alone in an eternity without love?
4251Who frustrated any great ambition of yours but yourself?
4251Who is it that darkens life with sorrow?--who is it that creates the delusion of death?"
4251Who is it that so mistrusts the Divine order of the Universe as to doubt the ultimate intention of goodness in things which appear evil?
4251Who is it that speaks of losing the way, when the way is, and has been and ever shall be, clear and plain?"
4251Why art thou lost in a Silence without Song?"
4251Why can not nations resolve on peace and amity, and if differences arise agree to settle them by arbitration?
4251Why could I not let myself go?
4251Why could I not speak frankly and tell him that I knew as well as he did that now there was no life anywhere for me where he was not?
4251Why did I not give the fluttering spirit within me room to expand its wings?
4251Why do you look so amazed?
4251Why have the monstrous forces of Evolution thundered their way through cycles of creation to produce so infinitesimal a prodigy?
4251Why is his existence judged to be necessary?
4251Why not rather teach us how to die soon?"
4251Why not?
4251Why should I be disturbed by rumours, or frightened by ill report?
4251Why should I doubt him?
4251Why should I need rescue?"
4251Why should he not cease to be?
4251Why should she remain?
4251Why should the word''fear''be mentioned, when there was no cause for fear of any kind?
4251Why should you have conquered difficulties which we have still to overcome?
4251Why should you, O Aselzion, teach us how to live long?
4251Why, even with the underlying flattery of his words, should he call me a dreamer?
4251Why, then, do I add an undesired note to the chorus of rejected appeal?
4251Why?
4251Will my leddy wear it for luck?"
4251Will that be any comfort to you?"
4251Will they solace you wholly, the days that were?
4251Will you come to luncheon?"
4251Will you detach yourself from your own private and particular surroundings for a space and agree to THINK with me?
4251Will you ever get tired, I wonder?"
4251Will you lift up your eyes between sadness and bliss, Meet mine and see where the great love is?
4251Will you present me to the ladies?"
4251Will you set aside the small cares and trifles that affect your own material personality?
4251Will you try to forgive me?"
4251Will you, for instance, think of Life?
4251Would n''t Mr. Harland perhaps like to see her?"
4251Would you tell Dr. Brayle that I shall be ready for him in ten minutes?"
4251Wouldst thou also be a Christian?
4251Wouldst thou have Eternal Life?
4251YOU can ask that?"
4251You are not afraid?"
4251You are quite sure?
4251You brought it with you this evening to show to me and ask my opinion of its value, did you not?"
4251You do?
4251You have not heard from Santoris?"
4251You like him?"
4251You may perhaps say that you yourselves have been sent by God-- but does Deity contradict Itself?
4251You may probably say and you probably WILL say--"What does that matter to us?
4251You say my ordeal is not over?"
4251You understand?"
4251You would not call it''strange''if the discovery made by Mr. Santoris were generally adopted?"
4251You''re not anxious?"
4251You''re sorry, I suppose?"
4251Your apparent youth--""Oh, is it only''apparent''?"
4251and Mr. Harland shook him warmly by the hand--"What time shall we start the race?"
4251and can there be any real unhappiness so long as our Souls are in tune with the complete harmony of Creation?
4251and the unhappy man threw up his hands with a gesture of desperation--"You, who profess to read thought and gauge the soul, can you ask?
4251asked Santoris, with sudden sternness--"Harland, would you have me tell you ALL?"
4251asked Santoris--"How is the pain?"
4251exclaimed Catherine--"You mean unlucky?"
4251he asked, very gently--"And may I show you the reasons why we meet again?"
4251he asked--"How has life wronged you?"
4251he asked--"Is there anything that so completely dominates the life of a man as the love of a woman?
4251he asked--"Why not go with us back to Rothesay, for example?"
4251he called to me--"Was it a good sunset?"
4251he demanded--"Don''t you want to know his opinion?"
4251he echoed--"What need I care for it?
4251he queried--"Why do you not say that if women are half souls, men are the same,--and that the two halves must conjoin to make one?
4251he said, softly--"What have you been thinking of?
4251he said--"Are you beginning to remember the happiness we have so often thrown away for a trifle?"
4251he said--"Are you not a prisoner in the House of Aselzion?"
4251he said--"Could YOU cure her?"
4251he said--"Did I not call you the princess of a fairy tale?
4251he said--"Life is agreeable as long as it lasts--""Have you found it so?"
4251he said--"Why did you not realise this ages ago?
4251interpolated Catherine, feebly--"How could you, father?"
4251interposed Captain Derrick--"Like your friend the''shentleman''?
4251it asked--"when the way is, and has ever been, clear and plain?
4251it demanded--"The Love of God?--or the Love of Self?
4251it said--"To what end wilt thou adventure for the sake of Love?"
4251its voice again enquired--"Wouldst thou bear all things and believe all things?
4251murmured Miss Catherine, pleadingly--"What''s the good of making any enquiries to- night?"
4251or''How will it affect ME?''
4251queried Mr. Harland--"Or simply life lastingness?"
4251said Mr. Harland, breaking his silence at last--"But is n''t it rather late to pay a call?
4251said the Voice,--"What is all thy searching and labour worth without Love?
4251she exclaimed, hotly--"What right have you--""How can he call ME an atheist?"
4251she repeated--"Have you not seen?--do you not know?
4251she said, faintly--"I hope we have not offended you?"
4251was it POSSIBLE to so sever them?
56713''A gentlemen''s or a ladies''school?'' 56713 ''Are you sure of this?''
56713''I have a letter in my pocket from Mr. Beecher''s successor, if that is what you mean?'' 56713 ''What part of Brooklyn?''
56713A man, did you say? 56713 A penny for your thoughts?"
56713A sprat to catch a mackerel, eh?
56713A thousand pardons, but has not monsieur forgotten his pocket- book a few moments ago?
56713Agency of Spirits, did you say? 56713 Ah, and what had he to say?"
56713Ah, where would Paris be without its restaurants, and where would the restaurants be without their chefs?
56713Am I to understand then that you are innocent of both these deeds?
56713And Renée?
56713And did he say anything to you, Marcel?
56713And his name?
56713And how am I to know when that is?
56713And how does monsieur know it?
56713And is not that a very delightful frame of mind to be in?
56713And my wife? 56713 And pray, what was I doing there?"
56713And the others?
56713And then what will happen?
56713And then?
56713And what am I then? 56713 And what are you keeping for yourself, professor?"
56713And what is your opinion about it all?
56713And what town, may I ask, has been so fortunate as to claim mademoiselle as a citizen?
56713And what will happen then?
56713And where did you live, mademoiselle, if I may be so bold as to ask?
56713And where do you hail from, Monsieur, I suppose you come from Paris judging from your accent?
56713And you intend to get it almost immediately?
56713Are all the people playing, and do they all play the same way?
56713Are there any spirits present?
56713Are these what you found in the envelope?
56713Are you acquainted with the deceased?
56713Are you fishing for compliments?
56713Are you hurt?
56713Are you ill?
56713Are you not sarcastic, professor, or do you mean it?
56713Are you perfectly sure of that?
56713Are you prepared to swear this to me on oath? 56713 Are you quite sure he will not remember what has occurred?"
56713Are you quite sure?
56713Are you really so gone on her as all that?
56713Are you serious, professor?
56713Are you sure of this?
56713Are you sure that he will go to heaven?
56713Are you sure that it is necessary to do that?
56713Are you sure you do n''t feel cold?
56713Are you weary of the fight? 56713 At a future sitting Mr. Funk said to George,''Why could you not tell me his name right away?''
56713Beast,she hissed,"why did n''t you hold your silly tongue?
56713Bien-- but is that all you intend to tell us?
56713But are there no poisons which are beyond your powers to detect?
56713But ca n''t you tell me of something which will defy detection even by means of your animals?
56713But did n''t you try to find the fellow?
56713But does it mean that we shall be separated again?
56713But how are we to be sure that the mediums do not cheat?
56713But how are we to obtain the convincing proof which you seek?
56713But how could that have possibly been brought about?
56713But how did you contrive to come here so early? 56713 But how did you possibly know of our engagement?
56713But how do you account for the lock of hair?
56713But how on earth is he able to know when he is not there to see?
56713But how? 56713 But if they are so enormously valuable, why do you sell them at all?"
56713But is Delapine really going to play at the Casino?
56713But is the poor pig never allowed to have any of them?
56713But suppose that she loves Delapine?
56713But supposing, for the moment, that these phenomena were true,said Riche,"of what use are they?
56713But surely you believe in a Divine Being?
56713But surely, professor, you are not going to waste your time in playing at the Casino?
56713But tell me, doctor, what proofs have they that he is not dead?
56713But tell me, how are you, mother? 56713 But the motive-- the motive?"
56713But what can have upset Renée so much as to make her cry like that?
56713But what evidence is there,said Riche,"that these apparitions and marvellous phenomena really occur?
56713But where is this prodigy to be found?
56713But why did you call it the New Jerusalem?
56713But why do you do it at all, Violette? 56713 But why suggest such things?"
56713But will you love me very much?
56713But you will give us the promised séance at our next party?
56713But, Doctor, if he is not really dead, you wo n''t surely allow him to be buried, will you?
56713But, before I begin, perhaps monsieur will settle my little account?
56713But, father, do you really mean it?
56713But, monsieur, how is one to know what a word means if it may imply anything and everything?
56713By the way, have you no friends at all who can help you, mon ami?
56713By the way, have you noticed a General in full uniform in the hotel?
56713By the way, ladies and gentlemen,said the professor,"what do you say to a little music?
56713By the way, mademoiselle, did Delapine ever give you any packets or letters to take care of for him?
56713By the way, monsieur, where did you live in Buenos Aires?
56713By the way, what has become of Delapine? 56713 By the way, wo n''t you take a glass of port?"
56713By the way,said the General,"I do n''t suppose you''ll have any objection to joining me in a glass of wine?
56713Can I depend on you?
56713Can I do anything more for madame?
56713Can you describe the man?
56713Can you explain how you managed to play?
56713Can you give us the recipe?
56713Can you keep a secret?
56713Can you perceive anyone besides us, professor?
56713Can you recommend me a good text book to commence my studies with?
56713Certainly, my dear fellow, but why the word''serious''?
56713Certainly, why not?
56713Cheating at the tables, what do you mean?
56713Comment ça va, monsieur le docteur? 56713 Confound that fellow,"said Payot, shaking his fist at the retreating carriage of the General,"what did he mean by running away with that concession?
56713Could you find out nothing more?
56713Delapine? 56713 Did he fall down the steps then?"
56713Did he pick the lock, or had you forgotten to shut the door when you went the time before?
56713Did he refer in any way to his fight with you?
56713Did the lady look like this?
56713Did you hear what he said, doctor?
56713Did you notice anything peculiar about Pierre Duval''s manner?
56713Did you notice my fingers jerking?
56713Did you really play the piano?
56713Did you recognise him, professor?
56713Did you say vulgar?
56713Dis donc, mon cher Marcel, what is that you are saying about a flock of parrots?
56713Do n''t you believe in a hell and eternal damnation?
56713Do n''t you feel well?
56713Do n''t you know anyone else-- come now think?
56713Do n''t you remember Delapine''s words when he hypnotised him?
56713Do n''t you remember he told Renée that when he recovered he intended to dictate his memoirs?
56713Do you always succeed in detecting the poison?
56713Do you believe in God?
56713Do you have to shake him, or what do you do?
56713Do you hear me? 56713 Do you imagine for a moment that the jury will believe that story?
56713Do you know if anyone called to see her before that hour?
56713Do you know the number of the watch?
56713Do you mean to say he is not dead then?
56713Do you mean to say that you employ all these things?
56713Do you mean to say that you knew that father had been storming at me and hit me?
56713Do you mean to tell me that Delapine has been here during the whole of the last hour?
56713Do you mean to tell me that you require me to muzzle your mouth with gold in order to secure your silence?
56713Do you mean to tell me that you were ordered by the Parquet to make a post- mortem examination, and you do n''t know whether he is dead or not? 56713 Do you notice Delapine''s fingers?"
56713Do you notice that rather handsome young man with fair curly hair, and a pointed glossy beard just standing behind her?
56713Do you really love me, George?
56713Do you really mean it, professor? 56713 Do you really mean it?
56713Do you really mean to say that Henri is back again, and that he will be the same old darling he was before?
56713Do you really mean to say that this blessed mine is going to cost us £ 120,000 a year to keep going? 56713 Do you really think he will ever forgive me?"
56713Do you really think she will let me put it on her finger?
56713Do you see that steep stony path near the funicular railway leading down the hill from La Turbie?
56713Do you see that?
56713Do you suffer pain like you used to so often, mother?
56713Do you think Pierre has had anything to do with this?
56713Does he suppose that I, a General of the French army, am to be kept waiting by a mere servant?
56713Does monsieur wish to insult me then?
56713Does n''t he remind you of a Bengal tiger lying in ambush and turning his head slowly round to watch the movements of his prey? 56713 Does your heart ache, Renée dear?
56713Dr. Villebois, are you there? 56713 Eh, what was that I heard about a letter that the professor managed to read without seeing it?"
56713Entonces usted es Porteno?
56713Excuse me,said Pierre,"but where were you half an hour ago?"
56713For example?
56713For good, mother? 56713 François,"he added in a hoarse whisper,"not a word, not a word of what I do, do you hear me?"
56713Good God,he said to himself,"however could the police have found it out?
56713Good,replied Payot,"and then?"
56713Half an hour ago,said Monsieur Biron, astonished;"but what could have killed him?"
56713Has anyone seen him?
56713Has he ordered any arrest to be made?
56713Has monsieur endured this calamity for long?
56713Has monsieur got many?
56713Have I not been by your side off and on ever since I left you, my child? 56713 Have I not put it clearly then?"
56713Have I not said enough?
56713Have any thieves got into the house?
56713Have n''t you finished with that place yet? 56713 Have n''t you made enough already?"
56713Have you a letter for me?
56713Have you any further orders, sir?
56713Have you anything left?
56713Have you been to see''Les Fiançailles Forcées''which has just been put on at the Vaudeville?
56713Have you been to the comédie lately?
56713Have you ever heard the story of the Widow''s Mite?
56713Have you ever lent the key to anybody?
56713Have you examined his arms, monsieur?
56713Have you lived a long time in Paris, mademoiselle?
56713Have you lost your senses? 56713 Have you never seen her since?"
56713Have you nothing else to tell me? 56713 Have you then so soon forgotten what I told you?"
56713He told Renée and me so, did n''t he, Renée?
56713How can I prove that you are correct?
56713How can you be so cruel as to laugh at me, Jean,she said to her husband,"when you see me insulted like this?
56713How could Pierre have done it? 56713 How could he, when we could not inform him who the culprit was?
56713How dare you disobey your father''s wishes?
56713How dare you take a mean advantage of me like that? 56713 How dare you trifle with me in this manner?
56713How dare you? 56713 How did he get in?"
56713How did you manage it, professor?
56713How do you do, Payot?
56713How do you know that?
56713How do you know that?
56713How do you mean, discuss?
56713How do you shy at the tables?
56713How long has he been in that state?
56713How was the fellow dressed?
56713Hullo, Pierre my boy, where have you been?
56713Hullo, what on earth are you doing with that Venus''s fly- trap?
56713Hullo,he cried,"what''s this?"
56713I am sure these gentlemen will not mind, and I know she wants to know the worst, do n''t you, Renée?
56713I have already told you so,said Villebois,"Do you doubt my word?"
56713I have the honour to address Monsieur le Docteur Villebois, I presume?
56713I hope it is not too chilly for you out here? 56713 I hope it is nothing serious, my dear Marcel?
56713I hope the business proved satisfactory?
56713I hope,continued Delapine,"you have sold your property and shares to the best advantage, and realized enough money to pay off your liabilities?"
56713I must have it-- I mean, may I bring it to you?
56713I presume I have the distinguished honour and good fortune to address M. Felix Payot, am I correct?
56713I say, Marcel,said Riche,"who is that charming young lady I saw you chatting with just now?"
56713I say, professor, where have you sprung from?
56713I suppose that Renée will consent to marry Pierre?
56713I suppose you are going into the Casino?
56713I suppose you have come in obedience to my request?
56713I suppose you think that is the proper way to call on gentlemen of my rank in the evening, is it?
56713I suppose you wish to have time to warn Pierre?
56713I suppose,he said,"you are living by yourself just now?"
56713I think it would be more accurate to say that the music kept time with my fingers, eh?
56713I think we will sit up to- night and watch him, what do you say to that, Riche?
56713I trust you have fully recovered from your indisposition of the last evening?
56713I wonder whether Delapine will be able to do it? 56713 I wonder who he can have in his mind?
56713I wonder,he said, as a sudden thought occurred to him,"what made the two doctors stop you in such a hurry?
56713I wonder,said Marcel,"why the conservatory blinds are drawn?"
56713I? 56713 If it will please monsieur to pay me----""Pay you for what?"
56713In fact why should we have a body at all?
56713In what way?
56713In your father''s wine- cellar? 56713 Is Monsieur Pierre at home?"
56713Is Villebois on the telephone?
56713Is he ill, or in a trance, or what?
56713Is it likely that I, your own son, would dream of doing mad acts like that? 56713 Is it not exactly like yours?"
56713Is it really true... what can it mean?
56713Is it so serious then?
56713Is it very serious?
56713Is that really your opinion?
56713Is that you, Henri?
56713Is that you, darling mother?
56713Is there any purpose in our being born in a frail body like this?
56713Is this the room where the tragedy took place?
56713Is this the way you repay me for all my love and affection? 56713 Is this your watch?"
56713Listen, this is what he says:Is it raining little sister?
56713Look here, Roux, do you see this little bottle?
56713Look here, father,he said after a pause,"ca n''t we get old Villebois to tell the professor he has to leave the house at once?"
56713Mademoiselle requires that I dress her?
56713Mademoiselle will permit that I may regard it, n''est ce pas? 56713 Marie, what do you mean?
56713May I be permitted to look at him?
56713May I not be allowed to receive it from your fair hands?
56713May I take a photograph with a flashlight?
56713May n''t I come with you?
56713May we accompany you?
56713May we come and see you at once?
56713Me? 56713 Mon Dieu, but why did n''t you tell me all this before?"
56713Mon Dieu, what is this?
56713Mon Dieu,cried out Riche,"Try again, mademoiselle, can you see anything else?"
56713Monsieur le Commissaire de Police with two sergeants have arrived, and demand admittance in the name of the law; what am I to do?
56713Mother dear, wo n''t you give me some keepsake?
56713My God,said Payot,"how did you learn all these things?"
56713My dear Delapine,said Riche,"you surely do not believe in clairvoyance, thought- reading, telepathy, apparitions, and all that sort of thing?"
56713My dear General, how can you ask such a question? 56713 My dear Marcel, what is the matter with your eye?"
56713My dear Villebois, would you mind touching the bell?
56713My dear child, what does that matter? 56713 My dear child, whatever is the matter with you?
56713My dear father, what on earth are you talking about? 56713 My dear little girl, why do you worry your pretty head over such things?
56713My dear,she whispered to her husband,"how could you invite an infidel to our house who does not believe in anything?"
56713My fight with Marcel? 56713 My name?
56713My poor little Pinson, what would you do without your Renée?
56713My vot, sir? 56713 Nonsense,"cried Renée,"you surely do n''t mean to say he wants to injure Delapine?"
56713Not even in the dependent parts?
56713Not of much consequence, you idiot? 56713 Nothing to wear?
56713Now, sir, once for all, did you or did you not kill Delapine, and set fire to Villebois''s house?
56713Now,said the professor to his friend Payot,"do you still doubt my powers?
56713O go on, Tennyson did n''t really write that, did he?
56713Of course I do; what else could it be?
56713Of course, I like pretty frocks, what girl does n''t? 56713 Oh fie, so you''ve been over there to see the pretty bird in its cage, have you?
56713Oh, Renée, ma chérie,she called out,"whatever is the matter with you?
56713Oh, but you surely do not mean to go there to play at the tables?
56713Oh, doctor, how could I? 56713 Oh, doctor, tell me quickly, what is the matter?"
56713Oh, father, why ca n''t you leave me alone to be happy in my own way? 56713 Oh, father, why do you ask me such ridiculous questions?"
56713Oh, madame, how can you be so cruel? 56713 Oh, papa,"she cried,"whatever shall we do, is n''t it dreadful?
56713Oh, this cruel, cruel world,she said to herself,"why can not they leave people alone to enjoy themselves?"
56713Oh, this wretched ring how am I to get it off?
56713Oh, you are referring to her not coming down to dinner?
56713One of the firemen who assisted in extinguishing the flames-- am I right in my suspicions?
56713Only a trifle?
56713Out of date? 56713 Pardon, monsieur, who told you that?"
56713Pierre, I ask you for the last time, do you still persist in your statement that it is all a lie?
56713Please leave me,she said in a scarcely audible voice,"and do n''t allow anyone to see me on any pretence whatever, do you understand?
56713Professor, you are a wonder, but how in the name of all that is marvellous did you manage to read it? 56713 Pulling ze vot?"
56713Really, is that a fact?
56713Regardez- la, monsieur,he said to Villebois whom he knew by sight, holding up some of the half- burnt shavings,"do n''t you smell the naphtha?"
56713Remember what I have said, for I shall not be able to help you, although I shall be with you always-- what could Henri mean?
56713Renée dear, may I be your protector? 56713 Renée, ma chérie,"she said,"why are you lying on the bed?
56713Renée, ma mie, it is terrible to see you like this, what can the mystery be? 56713 Riche, come here,"said Villebois, looking at Delapine,"do you notice anything unusual about him?"
56713Riche,he called out as a sudden idea struck him,"my nerves are so unstrung I feel I need a drop of cognac; will you share a liqueur with me?"
56713Riche?
56713Robert,he thundered,"what the devil does this mean?
56713Sacr-- r-- re bleu?
56713Shall I join you soon, mother?
56713Shall we go?
56713Since I am unable to play and sing to Mademoiselle, may I perhaps have the great pleasure of hearing her play and sing to me?
56713So you have the money ready?
56713Surely you know what''shy''means?
56713Tell me quickly, have you found out who could have stolen the liquid? 56713 Tell me, what is it?"
56713Tell me,he said,"what was the fluid which the fellow injected into the professor''s arm?"
56713Thank you so much, Céleste, and look here, dear, when we are married you must come and stay weeks and weeks with us, wo n''t you?
56713That reminds me, do you remember our discussions in the little room on the third floor at the corner of the Rue Saint André des Arts?
56713That reminds me,said Paul,"wo n''t you take something?
56713That''s the very reason we have come, mon ami,said Roux;"but first let me ask you what the Commissaire de Police has done?"
56713The finest thing that could have happened? 56713 The next day Mr. Funk called in the cashier and said''Do you remember an old coin called"The Widow''s Mite"which we used for the Dictionary?''
56713The red ribbon of a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, eh? 56713 Then he asked George again,''Can you tell me to whom I have to return it?''
56713Then how will you find the money?
56713Then you mean to say that he really has been murdered?
56713Then you will trust me, wo n''t you?
56713There you are,he replied,"what did I tell you?
56713There, Dr. Roux, what do you make of that?
56713Villebois, mon ami,said Delapine,"will you oblige me by ringing the bell once more?"
56713Was he finishing his coffee, or what?
56713Was it not enough to frighten me to death?
56713We must find an answer to the questions put by the immortal Heine:Sagt mir was bedeutet der Mensch?
56713Well then, ca n''t we send Renée away somewhere? 56713 Well then, might not the light interfere with the success of the phenomena of a séance in the same way?
56713Well, Delapine, mon brave, how is it that you are here so early?
56713Well, and pray who are you, and what do you want to see me about at this time in the evening?
56713Well, do you notice where it leads to?
56713Well, gentlemen, what do you say to our all going to bed?
56713Well, gentlemen, what is the crime you charge us with?
56713Well, how in the name of heaven could he know all this? 56713 Well, is n''t it possible to get Payot to forbid her speaking to the professor?"
56713Well, mon ami, how has the world been treating you since I saw you last?
56713Well, monsieur le docteur, you have not forgotten me then?
56713Well, my child, have you made up your mind yet?
56713Well, well, surely there are some decent ones left?
56713Well, well, we shall see n''est- ce pas?
56713Well, what brings you here?
56713Well, what do you make of it?
56713Well, you remember Delapine?
56713Well,said Delapine,"and did our friend wake up?"
56713Well,said Delapine,"are you satisfied now?"
56713Well,said Delapine,"what brings you here in such a state of excitement?"
56713What a splendid evening to be sure, how I do enjoy these moonlight nights, do n''t you?
56713What are ten million worlds compared with thee? 56713 What are you doing here?"
56713What are you doing with those two gentlemen?
56713What are you gentlemen doing here, you, Villebois, and you, Riche? 56713 What are you staring at, you idiot?"
56713What are you thinking of, my dear professor?
56713What are you thinking of, my son? 56713 What are you two people talking about?"
56713What can have caused the fire?
56713What did you say that gentleman''s name was who is arguing with our friend the poet?
56713What did you say? 56713 What do you like best among the arts?"
56713What do you mean by occasions like this? 56713 What do you mean, mother?"
56713What do you mean, professor?
56713What do you mean?
56713What do you mean?
56713What do you think about him?
56713What do you think of that, mon cher, for a gold mine? 56713 What do you want it for?"
56713What do you want?
56713What does that mean?
56713What has kept you so long, Céleste?
56713What has made you change your mind so quickly?
56713What have I done with it? 56713 What have those Allemands done?"
56713What have you been doing to your head?
56713What have you been doing with yourself for the last hour?
56713What is amusing you?
56713What is his little game now?
56713What is it, what is it?
56713What is that?
56713What is the matter with Delapine?
56713What is the matter with him?
56713What is the matter with you, are you mad?
56713What is the matter?
56713What is the matter?
56713What is the matter?
56713What is the matter?
56713What is the matter?
56713What is the meaning of this?
56713What is the nature of this impulse?
56713What is the town still further away on our right?
56713What is your name and address?
56713What is your name?
56713What is your recipe for happiness, doctor?
56713What makes you think that he has been killed? 56713 What makes you think that?"
56713What name could be more appropriate? 56713 What number would you like the ball to fall into?"
56713What on earth are you talking about?
56713What on earth can Henri have done,she asked herself,"to have effected such a wonderful change in my father?
56713What on earth do you mean, my child?
56713What on earth do you want this menagerie for?
56713What on earth is he up to?
56713What on earth is the matter with him?
56713What on earth is the matter?
56713What on earth is this huge crowd here for?
56713What service may I have the pleasure to render you?
56713What shall I play, Monsieur Delapine?
56713What the devil do you mean, sir? 56713 What time was it when you found her crying?"
56713What was it again? 56713 What were you doing in Delapine''s house to overhear this conversation?
56713What were you doing there, if it is not a rude question?
56713What will you accept now to reveal your system to me?
56713What!--what did you say, doctor? 56713 What''s the matter, doctor?"
56713What''s the matter?
56713What''s the matter?
56713What''s up? 56713 What, something happened to Renée?"
56713What, that youthful professor who gave such a wonderful course of lectures on physics in the laboratory at the Sorbonne?
56713What, when we nearly came to blows over our differences of opinion about what you were pleased to call mysterious psychic forces? 56713 What,"cried Riche, bounding up from his seat as if he had been shot,"did you say it was sealed?"
56713What? 56713 What?
56713What? 56713 What?"
56713Whatever are you laughing at?
56713When did he find this envelope?
56713When was it built, Henri?
56713Where am I?
56713Where are we going when the rest of the party returns?
56713Where are we now?
56713Where did you get that from, Marcel?
56713Where did you meet her?
56713Where do the plungers come in, professor?
56713Where is the professor?
56713Where shall I drive to now?
56713Where shall I drive to?
56713Where shall I drive to?
56713Where, where?
56713Where?
56713Which class does she belong to?
56713Which of the two is the greater man?
56713Who are you, sir, that you speak to me in this way, and forbid me to obey my orders?
56713Who? 56713 Whoever said such nonsense?"
56713Whoever would have thought of it, but tell us, how did you manage to know where we were?
56713Whoever would have thought that the coffee would have had such an effect?
56713Whom did you say?
56713Whom do you refer to?
56713Whom have we the honour of addressing?
56713Why did you not bring me this before?
56713Why did you put a red screen round the lamp, and turn the light down low like that?
56713Why did you take her photograph?
56713Why do you always take Monsieur Marcel''s part?
56713Why do you ask?
56713Why do you develop your photographic plate in the dark and not in broad daylight?
56713Why do you sigh?
56713Why do you surround yourself with such thick white stuff?
56713Why do you think so?
56713Why is he going to Beaulieu of all places in the world?
56713Why not? 56713 Why not?
56713Why not? 56713 Why not?"
56713Why not?
56713Why not?
56713Why not?
56713Why, you surely do n''t mean Mademoiselle Beaupaire?
56713Why? 56713 Why?"
56713Will he ever get the use of it again?
56713Will you always love me, Henri? 56713 Will you take some more whisky, professor?"
56713Wo n''t you accompany her?
56713Would mademoiselle like the blue trimmed with black velvet? 56713 Would you like me to look into it for you?
56713Yes, what of it?
56713Yes, who are you?
56713Yes, who can tell?
56713Yes, why do you ask?
56713You can trust me, ca n''t you?
56713You did n''t mean to do it, then why did you do so? 56713 You do n''t suppose I am going to give away the source of all my jokes to you?"
56713You do n''t surely mean-- that he is dead?
56713You insulted me at Maxim''s Café only a short time ago-- do you remember the scene? 56713 You know him well, do you not?"
56713You love your father, do n''t you?
56713You silly boy, how can you? 56713 You will be sure and come, wo n''t you?"
56713You?
56713[ 5]Do we not find Marian Capella at the beginning of the Christian era mentioning Mind as being the fifth or fundamental element?
56713''"[ 8]"Are these wonderful phenomena described in books?"
56713''Go''may mean''to die,''as in the phrase( he is going)--to succeed( the scheme did not go)--to fare( how goes it?)
56713''How could light penetrate opaque screens?''
56713''Stop, in Heaven''s name, stop,''he cried,''do you want to commit murder?''
56713A chance, mon ami, to have a husband like my son can only come to her once in a lifetime, n''est- ce pas?"
56713A few minutes afterwards his quarry appeared, and Emile, walking up to him, hat in hand:"Excuse me sir, are you Monsieur Marcel?"
56713Again, how could the medium know from Mr. Funk''s mind that he had not returned it, when he was certain that he had done so?
56713Ah,"he said as he rose to leave,"you are admiring my watch- chain?
56713And after that what shall we suggest?
56713And again, why should the leaves reopen the very moment that the plant has had a sufficient meal?
56713And how could he have pointed out the exact spot where the coin was to be found, a spot where no one ever dreamt of looking for it?
56713And of course you felt it your duty to suspend operations?"
56713And pray, where is madame?"
56713And what am I then?
56713And what are you here for?"
56713And what, pray, is the nature of this urgent business that calls him away at this time of day I should like to know?"
56713Are the honourable members agreed?
56713Are we to doubt a thing merely because it is contrary to our experience?
56713Are you aware of the seriousness of this charge?"
56713Are you aware that they happen to be particular friends of mine, and belong to the Embassy?
56713Are you aware, professor, that Pierre attempted to murder you by injecting a subtle poison into your arm?"
56713Are you blind to your own interests?
56713Are you mad or what?"
56713Are you not satisfied?"
56713Are you very happy?"
56713Are you without a spark of gratitude?
56713Armand?"
56713Besides, did n''t he point out to us the fallacies of their systems?"
56713But it looks favourable, does n''t it?
56713But tell me, are these psychic forces part of the same system?"
56713But tell us what the parrots had to do in the matter?"
56713But the imposture sans motif?
56713But what could he be doing in the territory of the Prince of Monte Carlo, which does not belong to Italy, and how could he possibly know us?"
56713But what did they mean?
56713But what does it mean?"
56713But what the deuce did that fellow want in my cellar?
56713But where has he gone to?"
56713But why have you changed your mind at the last moment?"
56713But wo n''t you have a bed made up here?"
56713But, not a word, not a word, eh, professor?"
56713But, tell me, what did you do to her to put her in such a rage?"
56713By the way, I think you said you had taken to writing poetry?"
56713By the way, Riche, did you find out the whereabouts of that gentleman I sent you to follow out of the Casino?"
56713By the way, Villebois, how is the General getting on?"
56713By the way, did you shut the door when you left?"
56713By the way, professor, now that we are all here quietly, will you give us an exhibition of your thought- reading powers?"
56713C''est entendue?"
56713CHAPTER XI A REMARKABLE CONVERSATION"Who will absolve you bad Christians?
56713Ca n''t you give me any hope?"
56713Ca n''t you recognise me?"
56713Ca n''t you see that I am arranging a marriage for you which will at once introduce you into all the best circles in Paris?
56713Can it not be a simple case of heart failure?"
56713Can that struggle be in vain?
56713Can you account for it, doctor?"
56713Can you explain it to me, doctor?"
56713Could anything tell a tale better?
56713Delapine?"
56713Delapine?"
56713Developed into an exponent of psychic forces has he?
56713Did any of them bid adieu to life in the superb manner of Vatel?
56713Did he leave any message?"
56713Did n''t you get my letter, Renée, in which I pointed it all out to you, and entreated you not to allow me to be touched or buried?"
56713Did n''t you hear him tell us he would?"
56713Did n''t you hear of it?
56713Did not England become a Protestant country simply because the Pope refused to allow Henry the Eighth to divorce his wife Katherine?"
56713Did they think he was not dead?"
56713Did you not see me send your daughter into the library to work the bellows?"
56713Did you not see when she sat down that she gave a little sigh?
56713Do n''t you agree with me?"
56713Do n''t you agree with me?"
56713Do n''t you see that this contained the liquid which the fellow injected into Delapine''s arm?
56713Do n''t you smell something?"
56713Do n''t you think so, mon docteur?"
56713Do n''t you think, papa, that the professor must have some wonderful power of seeing into the future?
56713Do you consider it a really safe speculation?"
56713Do you expect me to pay over four louis for those worthless flowers?
56713Do you hear me?
56713Do you hear me?"
56713Do you hear what I say?"
56713Do you insinuate that I murdered the professor?
56713Do you mean Professor Henri Delapine of the Sorbonne?"
56713Do you mean that Henri is alive?"
56713Do you mean to say that you actually have it here, in your portfolio?"
56713Do you mean to say that you have pacified her?"
56713Do you not approve?"
56713Do you really mean it?"
56713Do you remember pinning the orchid in my button- hole to- day?"
56713Do you remember the passage I have just quoted?"
56713Do you remember what the envelope looked like?"
56713Do you see that great isolated rock towards Nice, standing out all by itself surmounted by a great ivy- coloured castle?
56713Do you see this ear?"
56713Do you see with Röntgen Rays?"
56713Do you suppose a mother can ever forget her daughter?"
56713Do you take me for a damned fool or what?"
56713Do you think you can get me the concession for flotation?"
56713Do you think, Marie, that he will tell you all this for a small pourboire?"
56713Does he take me for a robber?
56713Does not Almanni say''Le cose victate fan crescere la voglia?''
56713Eh, doctor?"
56713Even when I am old and wrinkled?"

56713Garçon,"he said, after table d''hote was over,"bring me the evening paper-- are there any good plays at the theatre to- night?"
56713Get out, I say, do you hear me?"
56713Get up this instant, do you hear me, sir?"
56713Good God,"he suddenly exclaimed,"can it be possible?"
56713Grey Mullets Meunière, or do you prefer Escalopes de Mostele écossaise just brought in fresh this morning, with a little dry hock?
56713Had Payot seen her smile?
56713Had n''t we better rouse him up?"
56713Has anyone told you?"
56713Has he become a Medium I wonder?
56713Has she no natural affection left I wonder?
56713Have I not toiled all these years to give you, my only child, a fortune and a position?
56713Have n''t you seen it?
56713Have you carried out my instructions and obtained information from Dr. Villebois''s servants?"
56713Have you ever read Dumas Fils''''La Dame aux Camelias''?
56713Have you no feelings left?"
56713How can you ask me to marry such a brute?"
56713How can you provide a dot out of your slender income?"
56713How can you say such dreadful things?
56713How could Delapine marry her when she was without a sou?
56713How could any girl be insensible to his charms with his wealth and his talents?
56713How could he face poverty with its lean fleshless hands and sunken eyes, the single, cold, comfortless room, and the pangs of hunger?
56713How could it be possible?
56713How could she earn her living except as a despised and pitied governess?
56713How dare you sit down in the presence of a General of the French army, and without leave too?
56713How dare you take liberties with men?
56713How does one body attract another at a distance, with nothing but the invisible and intangible Ether between them?
56713How else could he possibly guess what was going to happen to him?"
56713How long has he been dead?"
56713How much?"
56713How on earth is the ordinary person to learn it?"
56713How then are we to account for this revelation except by some intelligence on the other side of the Veil?"
56713How?
56713How?
56713How?
56713I am here as his friend if----""If what?"
56713I am sure that you had something horrid on your mind, because as soon as I had gone you rose and locked the door; you can not deny it, can you?"
56713I can not remember anything; have I been ill, or what has happened?"
56713I have it in my portfolio?"
56713I know there was some other reason, now was n''t there?"
56713I see it is nearly dinner time; will you have dinner with me?
56713I suppose it was a common thief coming to steal my wines, eh?
56713I suppose you have come here for the pigeon match?"
56713I suppose you have still kept the house?"
56713I want to know if you have any clue as to the man who injected the fluid into Professor Delapine''s arm?"
56713I wish to hear from your own lips; is it true or not?"
56713I wonder what his serious play will be like?"
56713I wonder whether Renée''s strange conduct had anything to do with his coming?
56713I would not have been the cause of this accident for worlds, is that not so, my good friend Marcel?
56713If I might trespass on your kindness, and ask you to drive me?"
56713If the one can be formed in twenty years, why not the other in twenty seconds?
56713If the performers were not tricksters could they not show these things in full daylight?"
56713In God''s name what more can you want?
56713Is his soul destroyed outright or does it escape unaltered and manifest itself in other surroundings?
56713Is it because I refuse to marry a man I detest?"
56713Is it dissipated into illimitable space and lost for ever?
56713Is it just to assert that a man must be bereft of his senses who believes in it, and has the courage to announce it publicly?
56713Is it not superb?"
56713Is it possible that her father or young Pierre could have said anything to her?"
56713Is n''t it the truth, Villebois?"
56713Is n''t that so, Monsieur Duval?"
56713Is n''t that your opinion, Mademoiselle Renée?"
56713Is n''t that your opinion?"
56713Is not that a proof of mind, eh?
56713Is not that your opinion?"
56713Is that a lie also?"
56713Is that not so, baron?"
56713Is that well understood?"
56713Is the soul too subtle for the senses to perceive, or is it only seen when it acts through our bodies?"
56713Is there not some poet who says,''Beauty lends enchantment to the view''?"
56713It is a dream-- a dream, n''est- ce pas?
56713It is really very touching, n''est- ce pas?"
56713Just suppose that they came and killed me in my bed, what would become of me then?
56713Just think of it?
56713Just to see if it will tell us something of your past, or what has happened to you, or some of your friends perhaps?"
56713Let go, do you hear me?"
56713Let me see, now what about Marcel?
56713May I ask if you are going to Monte Carlo to play?"
56713May I substitute for the word''legs,''''inferior extremities,''or lower limbs?"
56713Mon Dieu, what are we to do?"
56713My dear doctor, seeing that both he and his father have been guests at our house what could we do?
56713My dear madame, surely you must be dreaming?
56713N''est ce pas, p''tit papa?"
56713New Jerusalem-- descending from Heaven-- gates of pearls-- streets of shining gold-- my mine to a T. What could be finer as an illustration?
56713No?
56713Novels?"
56713Now what do you consider a fair return for doing me this service?"
56713Of course she may have had a real headache, but people do n''t go into violent fits of weeping on that account, do they?"
56713Oh dear, oh dear, why can not he leave me in peace?
56713Oh, dear, what shall I do?
56713Oh, what is the matter?
56713Oh, why did my poor mother die so soon?
56713Only think of it, my dear friend, and ask yourself what will all this wealth have cost you?
56713Or perhaps the lovely pink gown that Madame Louise said fitted you à merveille?"
56713Payot asked himself,"I wonder whether it has anything to do with his promise to restore my fortune?
56713Read it carefully and to- morrow, my dear friend, I shall come again, if you will be good enough to fix a time?"
56713Renée?"
56713Rushing into the vestibule he enquired breathlessly:"Is the doctor at home?
56713So what do you think I did?
56713Still, who knows?"
56713Surely you do n''t mean to say that you have enemies who come to my house?"
56713Sydney Smith even asked the inventor whether he would not like to store his gas in the dome of St. Paul''s Cathedral?
56713Tell me what does it all mean, and what am I doing here?
56713That is if mademoiselle will pardon a stranger?"
56713There are''--what was it she said?
56713There is one God and one Joseph, and the latter is the king of chefs, n''est- ce pas?"
56713There you are,"cried Riche as they approached the conservatory,"did I not tell you where we would find him?"
56713Villebois?"
56713Was he mistaken?
56713Was it for joy?"
56713Was it not then natural that such a beautiful prize should be competed for by the ladies to grace their receptions?
56713We know the laws of gravity, but what is the cause of it?
56713We were unable to prove that Pierre was concerned in it, and supposing he turned out to be innocent?
56713Well, we must outmanoeuvre him, n''est- ce pas?
56713Well, who knows?
56713Wer wohnt dort oben auf goldenen Sternen?
56713Were you invited there?"
56713What are they pulling you about for?"
56713What are we to do?"
56713What are you doing standing still like a born fool that you are?
56713What brings you in here, mon ami, on a filthy day like this of all others?"
56713What could be finer?
56713What could she do?
56713What did he die of?"
56713What do you mean, Céleste?
56713What do you mean?
56713What do you mean?
56713What do you mean?"
56713What do you say to crême d''orge à l''allemande?
56713What do you say to that?"
56713What else could he want me for?
56713What have you three been doing since dinner?"
56713What instrument do you play?"
56713What is life?
56713What is the force which enables me to do it?
56713What is the plot?"
56713What on earth can Renée find to admire in a mad fossil like Delapine?
56713What on earth does this mean?"
56713What on earth gave you that idea?"
56713What originates force or energy?
56713What reason could anyone have to seek his death?
56713What shall I do?"
56713What shall we call them-- globes of crystal light?
56713What then becomes of the remaining stupendous energy?
56713What then have I to fear, if after death I shall either not be miserable, or shall certainly be happy?"
56713What was I saying?
56713What was it she told him when she steadily gazed on it?
56713What was the cause of the Franco- German war?
56713What was the rascal like, do you know his name?"
56713What would he be doing now?
56713What would my adored mother have said to all this?
56713What would old Duval have given to have a third share in it?
56713What would she think of him now?
56713What would the Duvals think of us?
56713Whatever do you mean?"
56713When I learnt that thou wast dead, Say wast thou conscious of the tears I shed?
56713When a man dies, will he live again?
56713When a man flatters himself that he understands a woman, he----""Merely flatters himself?"
56713When are you going to keep that promise?"
56713Where are you going to?"
56713Where can I find out all about it?
56713Where did you manage to learn these things?"
56713Where may you be staying?"
56713Where was it I heard it?"
56713Where was the dot he promised his daughter for her marriage portion?
56713Where?"
56713Which do you prefer,"he continued,"some coffee or a liqueur?
56713Who could have taken it?
56713Who would ever have thought it possible?
56713Why are séances held in the dark, or in merely a dull red light?
56713Why ca n''t you go to your own room?"
56713Why do you address me?"
56713Why do you ask?"
56713Why do you speak evil of my darling mother who is in the grave?
56713Why do you treat me in this way?
56713Why have you not given it up as I have so often implored you?
56713Why hesitate any longer?
56713Why is it that you have never shown yourself to me before, except for a moment when Henri was in a trance?"
56713Why then should the things you have just mentioned be less credible?
56713Why then should you take the one for granted, and absolutely refuse even to examine the other?
56713Why, what more do you want?
56713Will not monsieur le docteur be seated while my daughter allows him to regard the ring?"
56713Will you do me a special favour?"
56713Will you help me, Mademoiselle Céleste?
56713Will you listen to me or not?
56713Will you share your lot with me, darling?
56713Wo geht er her?
56713Wo n''t you like to come and hear it?
56713Wo n''t you, let me?"
56713Wohin ist er gekommen?
56713Would the morning never break?
56713Would you oblige me, Monsieur Payot, with the loan of your watch?"
56713Would you screen an incarnate fiend from justice?"
56713Yes, I remember, but surely you have outgrown all that?"
56713You are assistant medical analyst to the Government, are you not?"
56713You dare to simper and smile after this?"
56713You dare to tell me that you wo n''t marry the son of my old comrade- in- arms?"
56713You do n''t mean to say that I shall not see you any more?"
56713You do n''t mean to say that you know her?"
56713You do n''t mean to say that you were the General?"
56713You do want to help your old father, do n''t you?
56713You have not been fighting with anyone surely?"
56713You have not seen me crying to- day, have you?"
56713You have some trouble,"she continued,"and I want to help you to bear it, may I?
56713You idiot, why did n''t you attack him, or at least run back and lock the door after you, and then come and call me?
56713You know I have always maintained there is a great deal of truth in it, have n''t I, Marcel?"
56713You know I never told you a lie, and why should I tell you one now?"
56713You must have had a little too much wine, which no doubt made you drowsy, eh?"
56713You will forgive me, wo n''t you?
56713You will promise me to come and sing, wo n''t you?"
56713You, professor?
56713are you in love with her then?"
56713asked Renée,"why is he so eager to get the packet?
56713cried Villebois,"Is it really a fact that you have succeeded in twisting her round your little finger as well?"
56713dear,"she exclaimed,"whatever shall I do?
56713do n''t you know her?
56713doctor, do tell me, is there anything the matter?"
56713enquired Payot,"have you not bought any?
56713exclaimed Duval,"Do you mean to tell me that she actually hit you?"
56713he exclaimed,"Professor Delapine, the renowned professor at the Sorbonne?"
56713mother, darling mother, why did you leave me?
56713said one of the great men,"what can we do?
56713she cried,"Is that really you?"
56713she cried,"where are you?
56713she whispered to Céleste who was sitting between her and Riche,"whatever will become of me?"
56713surely you are not sorry that you accepted him?"
56713they all exclaimed with looks of horror on their faces,"do you really mean that Pierre did the dastardly act?"
56713they all exclaimed,"What adventures?
56713they all exclaimed,"to Monte Carlo?"
56713too well; would it not be a thousand times more interesting if you were to test its wonderful powers by letting me see a little way into the future?"
56713what are we coming to?
56713what have you done?"
56713what is that fellow Charles doing?
56713what is the matter-- what have they been doing to you?"
56713what shall I do?
56713what were you so interested about when I came in?"
56713what will become of me?"
56713what will my confessor say when I tell him?"
56713you dare to tell me that you refuse?"
