12986You are n''t in bed?
12986You did say the Countess, did n''t you?
12986You do n''t mean to insinuate,said Mrs Clutterbuck, with a nervous laugh,"that Captain Deverax has-- er-- gone after the Countess?"

12986After a pause Nellie asked suddenly:"Who''ll be mayor-- now?"
12986After all, what were men for, if not to pay?
12986And a voice replied from the belly of the pantechnicon:"Who is there?"
12986And added;"And I''ll go....?
12986And could they be blamed for not employing at three shillings a day the mother of a young man who wallowed in thousands sterling?
12986And how''s yourself, Mrs Cotterill?"
12986And it was just as if she had said,"But what has my rent got to do with you, little boy?"
12986And now something in truth had happened to her carriage-- but who would believe it at the Police Institute?
12986And the"Another?"
12986And then the Countess, leaning from the carriage, said, with archness in her efficient smile:"You do pick things up easily, do n''t you?"
12986And was Cregeen making a hundred pounds a week out of it?
12986And, the cigarette between his lips, as with his left hand he waved the match into extinction, he demanded:"You smoke?"
12986And, truly, was she not a remarkable woman, as remarkable as he was a man?
12986Any gentleman willing to put down £ 800 to buy Callear for Bursley?"
12986Anybody want to lend a thousand or so on second debentures?"
12986But did the Preston public desert it?
12986But how?
12986But then why should the state suite be so suddenly locked up, since the Countess had just come in from a drive?
12986But what could she do?
12986But what could she do?
12986But, he walked forth in the town, smiled, joked, spoke vaguely, and said,"Do_ you_?"
12986By the way, where was it, Captain?"
12986CHAPTER III THE PANTECHNICON I"How do you do, Miss Earp?"
12986Ca n''t you hear?"
12986Can you call to- morrow afternoon?
12986Come and have a drink with me, will you?
12986Could it be held responsible for the excesses of its disinterested sympathisers?...
12986Could it be meant to fulfil the same function as muslin in a confectioner''s shop?
12986Could it be true that she, his superior in experience and in splendour of person, had kissed him?
12986Denry said to himself:"And why_ should n''t_ I get her name as patroness?
12986Denry?"
12986Do you come and encourage us next time?
12986Do you expect us to win every match?
12986Has he ever done a day''s work in his life?
12986Have n''t you got a match?"
12986Have you got any more pennies?"
12986He had recently formed the habit of retorting swiftly upon people who put queries to him:"Yes, are_ you_?"
12986He remembered that he had made a marked effect( though not one of laughter) on the tailor by quickly returning the question,"Are you?"
12986He thought he ought to depart; yet would it not be ungallant to desert her under the circumstances?
12986He traversed the streets in his grand, new manner, and his thoughts ran:"What on earth can I do to live up to my reputation?"
12986He was decidedly pleased with the worldly way in which he had said:"Sure you do n''t mind?"
12986Hear that now?"
12986His mother never said"Sugar?"
12986His mother said:"Why do n''t you grow a beard?
12986How d''do?"
12986How do you do, Mr Machin?"
12986How many people over ninety are there in those gimcrack houses up by the Park, I should like to know?"
12986How on earth_ could_ people have the face to go to a landlord and say to him that they meant to desert him in favour of his rival?
12986I suppose you would n''t care for a stroll?"
12986If I could stop him from winding it up, I might....""What?"
12986Is it?"
12986Is not this exciting?
12986It would be:"Have ye heard about young Machin, Duncalf''s clerk?"
12986It would not be:"Have ye heard Jos''s latest?"
12986It''s like as if what must be, is n''t it?
12986Let her have it rent- free because she''s seventy?
12986Nice refined society, eh?"
12986Nobody before had ever said"Sugar?"
12986Nothing I can do?"
12986Or had the pluck?..."
12986Or pitch her into the street?"
12986Or was Bursley ashamed of its football team?
12986Or,"he added,"do you want something for nothing-- as usual?"
12986Ought professional footballers to be considered as social pariahs?
12986Should I be the youngest mayoress?"
12986That''s what_ we''re_ doing,"said Denry in blithe greeting; and added,"I suppose he''s invited you too?"
12986The Earl was dancing( need it be said with Mrs Jos Curtenty, second wife of the Deputy Mayor?
12986The astonishment in her tone as she exclaimed:"Have you got a_ motor_?"
12986The most precious thing in the world to Ruth was her dignity-- and who can blame her?
12986The thought in every mind was:"What''s he going to do?
12986Then she said:"Do you ever have business at Southport?"
12986Then she turned to the enslinged Denry and with concern added:"But will_ you_ have something?"
12986Then something compelled him to say:"Do you know, it''s the first time I''ve ever waltzed in my life, except in a lesson, you know?"
12986They''ll work the machine just as well, wo n''t they?"
12986Too late for what?"
12986Was the famous club, then, to disappear for ever, and the football ground to be sold in plots, and the grand stand for firewood?
12986Was the practice of football incompatible with good citizenship?
12986Was there another girl in Bursley so smart, so effective, so truly ornate?
12986Was there any class of beings to whom the churches ought to be closed?
12986Was there anything dishonourable in playing football?
12986What did Mr Bloor die off?"
12986What great cause is he identified with?"
12986What have I got for my pains?
12986What price that?"
12986What sort of a man is he?"
12986What time?"
12986What will he think of us being here like?"
12986What''ll you take?"
12986What''s he got up his sleeve-- this time?"
12986What''s that?"
12986What_ ever_ will Ruth say at us leaving her all alone the first night she comes?
12986When we lose a match, what do you do?
12986Where have ye had your tea?"
12986Where shall you be?"
12986Where''s the money to come from?
12986Who is?"
12986Who settles it?"
12986Why could he not as easily have said four as two to his mother?
12986Why do n''t you put up for the Sports Club?
12986Why does n''t he let her cool down?"
12986Why, in the sacred name of common- sense, should he have been imprisoned in the state suite?
12986Will the Directors of the club accept him?"
12986You simply said,"Good- afternoon, how are you?"
12986You surely must remember that, mother?"
12986_ Do_ you?"
12986exclaimed the Clutterbuck cousin,"who''s the other?"
12986it''s you, is it?"
12986or"No, do_ you_?"
12986said Denry, judiciously,"would n''t you like to know?"
12779A month? 12779 About how much do the rents average?
12779All alone?
12779An ye got a match?
12779And are you sitting together in the dark?
12779And bought th''steamer- ticket without meaning to go?
12779And ca n''t a single woman live on thirty shillings a_ wik_? 12779 And did n''t you say your servant was out?"
12779And in Turnhill?
12779And supposing there_ was_ something between us, uncle, should you mind?
12779And us''ll never see Susan again?
12779And what about a cap or something?
12779And what about my dinner?
12779And what did your mother take to Longshaw cattle- market?
12779And what have you got for uncle''s tea to- day? 12779 And what is up with you?"
12779And what next?
12779And what next?
12779And what''s your name, lass?
12779And why ca n''t ye?
12779And why?
12779And-- and Mr. Ollerenshaw is really pleased?
12779Are you going to hang it? 12779 Art sure it is n''t a sheep''s kidney, lass?"
12779As a man?
12779Ay?
12779Before when?
12779Both? 12779 But how did she take it?
12779But how_ do_ you carry the money about?
12779But surely you shake hands with Andrew when you meet him, do n''t you?
12779But what about her frocks?
12779But what does that matter? 12779 But why should you be glad?
12779But your school, where ye teach everything, lass?
12779Buy that barracks?
12779By the way, lass, what''s that as swishes?
12779By the way,Helen asked,"when are Andrew and Lilian going to get married?"
12779By the way,said James,"where''s them childer?"
12779Ca n''t I just take a peep into the scullery?
12779Ca n''t you see I want to talk to you? 12779 Ca n''t you see he must n''t marry Lilian?"
12779Can I see her?
12779Can you play for dancing? 12779 Could n''t you play us something?"
12779Did she ever tell ye she was forty?
12779Did she tell ye she was forty, four years ago?
12779Did ye call out?
12779Did you cry, miss?
12779Did you try to make me jealous?
12779Didst thou seriously think as I should buy that there barracks to please thee?
12779Do n''t I tell ye as we want a couple o''bedrooms, miss?
12779Do n''t be late for dinner, will you, uncle?
12779Do n''t you like his eyes?
12779Do n''t you think it''s better than Longshaw?
12779Do tell me what servants you''re going to have?
12779Do ye mean to tell me,Jimmy thundered,"as ye''ve been playing a game wi''me all this time?"
12779Do you know why he came?
12779Do you like it?
12779Do you mean to say you''ve been in Bursley a week and more, and have n''t heard? 12779 Do you see him often up here?"
12779Do you suppose I gave up my position at school in order to live in a poky little hole at eighteen pounds a year? 12779 Dost mean to say as it is n''t clean, lass?"
12779Dost mean to say,he exclaimed,"as ye havena''booked your berth?
12779Eight thousand?
12779Ever seen one of these before?
12779For me? 12779 Forty- four?"
12779Fuss?
12779Great- stepniece,James corrected; and added:"Is he now?
12779Had n''t you better run home as quick as may be?
12779Hang it, uncle?
12779Happen you''ll come along with me, like?
12779Has Mrs. Prockter spoken to you about me and-- and Emanuel?
12779Hast forgotten th''sugar this time, lass?
12779Have n''t you? 12779 Have ye got all as ye want?"
12779Have ye gotten a couple of bedrooms like?
12779Have ye written to refuse?
12779Have you been reading that too?
12779Have you got twenty- five pounds in that box?
12779Have you?
12779Heads I win, eh?
12779Heard what?
12779Helen what?
12779Helen, what''ud thy mother say?
12779Helen?
12779How can you say such a thing? 12779 How can you say such a thing?"
12779How could I know you were in love with me all the time? 12779 How did you know that?"
12779How didst manage that?
12779How do you know, uncle?
12779How do, Prockter?
12779How dost know it''s at Crewe?
12779How dost know that?
12779How else are you to know?
12779How much do you want to leave?
12779How much hast spent?
12779How much?
12779How old art?
12779How shall you find out?
12779How?
12779How?
12779How?
12779I gather you are not passionately fond of kidneys, great- stepuncle?
12779I make no doubt ye can play the piano?
12779I mean my dinner on Friday?
12779I really ca n''t allow--"Allow what?
12779I suppose Georgiana is in the kitchen?
12779I suppose the luggage will be all right?
12779I suppose you do n''t have much time for reading, uncle?
12779I suppose you do n''t know a farmer named Bratt that used to have a farm near Sneyd?
12779I suppose you have a good servant?
12779I suppose you know you''ve done it this time?
12779I wonder what you will think of me, calling like this?
12779I''m asking ye why ye did n''t tell me afore?
12779If ye did n''t do that, what should ye do?
12779If ye didna''mean to go, why did ye give young Prockter to understand as ye would go? 12779 If you could begin in the dark, why ca n''t you finish in the dark?
12779If you wanted money, why did n''t you ask me for it?
12779If you were n''t in love with me, why did you try to make me jealous?
12779Is Lilian the youngest, or the next to the youngest?
12779Is Miss Rathbone at home?
12779Is Miss Rathbone here?
12779Is her up there with him?
12779Is that you?
12779Is there anybody as does understand him?
12779It''s all small, is n''t it?
12779It''s thy birthday, lass?
12779Look here,he said,"it''s nobbut a step from here to the Green Man, is it?"
12779May I ask if your niece is in?
12779May I ask what you mean, uncle?
12779My dearest uncle,she said, in a firm, even voice,"what_ are_ you talking about?
12779None of whom?
12779Not Helen?
12779Not exactly-- but--"He''s been kissing you in mistake for his other young woman?
12779Not hurt?
12779Now, what is it?
12779Oh,_ were_ they?
12779Shall we have tea?
12779Shall you go?
12779She did n''t hear me call out, then?
12779She was too much for ye?
12779So it seems you ca n''t tell a tarradiddle for me?
12779So they are saying that there is something between Emanuel Prockter and me, are they?
12779So you have all your meals here?
12779Sure?
12779Surely Emanuel has n''t been falling in love with Lilian, has he?
12779The idea does n''t appeal to you?
12779The quarrel between those two?
12779Then am I to be inquiring every morning whether you want money?
12779Then how was it that Emanuel had a cold and had to stay in bed?
12779Then something_ is_ the matter?
12779Then what shall you do, my poor dear uncle?
12779Then you''ve decided?
12779Then,Sarah stammered,"you and Emanuel-- you do n''t mean----""My dear Sally, do n''t you think Emanuel is a perfectly delightful boy?"
12779To whom do you mean to leave it, then?
12779Toss me?
12779We?
12779Well, is n''t he?
12779Well, lass?
12779Well, what about her frocks?
12779Well,he had asked her,"what can I do?"
12779Well,she said,"you surely wo n''t let me travel to Glasgow all alone, will you?"
12779Well?
12779Well?
12779What about that house as ye''ve so kindly chosen for me?
12779What about them?
12779What are you and Mrs. Prockter talking about?
12779What are you doing i''Bosley?
12779What can us do?
12779What difference does it make?
12779What do they pay you for teaching everything?
12779What do you mean?
12779What do you think of him?
12779What do you want?
12779What do you want?
12779What do you want?
12779What dost teach?
12779What for should I buy Wilbraham Hall? 12779 What for, lass?"
12779What for?
12779What is it?
12779What is it?
12779What is?
12779What should you do, uncle?
12779What things?
12779What time do you have tea?
12779What trick?
12779What woman?
12779What''s amiss, lad?
12779What''s become of that seven hundred and seventy pound odd as ye had?
12779What''s in the wind?
12779What''s she doing in the back entry?
12779What''s that as swishes?
12779What''s that got to do with you, if you and Emanuel has got nothing to do with him? 12779 What''s that light there?"
12779What''s that ye''re saying?
12779What''s the rent?
12779What''s to be done to- night? 12779 What''s twenty- five pun''?"
12779What''s what?
12779What''s what?
12779What? 12779 What?"
12779What?
12779Whatever made you think of coming to Bursley?
12779When did you last see him?
12779When han I seen it?
12779When was all this?
12779Where didst find this tea, lass?
12779Where didst pick this up, lass?
12779Where is dear Helen?
12779Where is your luggage, sir?
12779Where shouldst hang it, Master Prockter?
12779Where''s Lilian?
12779Where''s the steps, Helen?
12779Where?
12779Which chair do you recommend?
12779Who knows?
12779Who told you that?
12779Who told you_ she_ broke?
12779Who''s he?
12779Who''s there?
12779Who''s there?
12779Who? 12779 Why did n''t ye say that afore, missis?"
12779Why did n''t you tell me?
12779Why did you bring Helen?
12779Why do you ask such questions?
12779Why dun you choose that?
12779Why have you been so long?
12779Why not?
12779Why not?
12779Why not?
12779Why should n''t you, after all?
12779Why, Nell,said Sarah, aghast,"what''s the matter?"
12779Why, how many houses are there?
12779Why,she cried,"do n''t you enjoy them?"
12779Why?
12779Why?
12779Will you ask me to come back and cook the dinner?
12779Will you kindly give me your arm?
12779Will you marry me?
12779Will you mind hanging it on that nail?
12779With the tassel?
12779Worth? 12779 Would n''t it be a good thing for you to go out for a walk?
12779Would you come to the wedding?
12779Would you give me a wedding- present?
12779Would you like to live in a little museum?
12779Yes, and what about Monday?
12779Yes, and what about my steamer?
12779Yes, and what about to- morrow?
12779You do n''t mean to infer,said Helen, with cold dignity,"that my_ mother_ would tell me a lie?"
12779You do n''t mean to say you''ve not heard?
12779You do n''t own the house, do you?
12779You know my stepson, Emanuel?
12779You know that Emanuel is here?
12779You say Emanuel has been here to- day?
12779You think we can do nothing?
12779You wo n''t need a muffler?
12779You wo n''t?
12779Your Turkish cap?
12779And aloud she said:"Have you had supper, uncle?"
12779And as to his own daily manner of living, could he not live precisely as he chose at Wilbraham Hall?
12779And do you suppose that I want the leavings of Lilian Swetnam?
12779And have n''t you heard?"
12779And he proceeded, reflectively:"In th''corner cupboard, sayst tha?"
12779And how could they all sit at the tiny table in the kitchen?
12779And how does she mean to do it?"
12779And she added, seriously:"You ca n''t be expected to cook for yourself, can you?
12779And then, as there was a little pause:"Are people talking about us much?"
12779And what lady?
12779And why should she make herself permanently miserable,_ and_ Mr. Bratt,_ and_ me, merely out of a quite mistaken sense of duty?
12779And, what''s more, supposing I_ am_ saving a bit o''money, who am I saving it for, if it is n''t for you and your mother?
12779Are n''t you afraid of sleeping there while your uncle is away?"
12779Are n''t you glad, uncle?"
12779Are n''t you going to keep it on the table in your own room?"
12779Are we both going to drink out of the same cup?"
12779As for the upkeep of existence in Wilbraham Hall, had not Helen proved to him that its cost was insignificant when compared to his income?
12779Because he was rich?
12779Besides, what''s fifteen pounds?"
12779But are you going to make that an excuse for spoiling the whole show?
12779But have they?
12779But if I''m to urge her on, why didna''ye ask her to your house like, and chuck''em at each other?"
12779But what authority has a stepuncle?
12779But what can you expect?
12779But what had that got to do with Andrew, seeing that he was engaged to Lilian?
12779But you must have heard?"
12779Butt a week for expenses?"
12779Butt had dropped on the floor?
12779CHAPTER IX A GREAT CHANGE"Helen Rathbone,"said Uncle James one Tuesday afternoon,"have ye been meddling in my cashbox?"
12779CHAPTER XXII CONFESSIONAL"What''s the matter with Emanuel Prockter?"
12779Ca n''t you see I''ve got something on my mind?"
12779Can I go up and talk sense to him?
12779Can you imagine such a reason?"
12779Can you lend me a hat and coat?"
12779Can you lend me sixpence?"
12779Can you sew?"
12779Care to try it?"
12779Dean?"
12779Did Helen expect her uncle to make his tea off a slice of bread and butter that weighed about two drachms?
12779Did n''t I tell you when I came in that I had settled to go to Canada?
12779Do n''t you like it?"
12779Do n''t you think I''ve done right in being quite open with you?
12779Do n''t you think it was funny?"
12779Do n''t you think it''s awfully funny?"
12779Do n''t you?"
12779Do you always have fish for tea?"
12779Do you like it?"
12779Do you?"
12779Emanuel?"
12779Emanuel?"
12779For railway tickets?"
12779He did n''t tell you?
12779He wondered whose the fault could be?
12779Here he gazed at her, and his gaze said:"If I popped off here and now, would n''t you feel ashamed o''yerself for being so hard on your old uncle?"
12779How can she understand him?
12779How could I guess?
12779How didst know, lass?"
12779How had she got it?
12779How in the name of Confucius did she know that he thought himself a great authority on China tea?
12779How was he familiar with the word-- the word which conveyed nothing to his mind?
12779I meant to occupy that bench, and why should I not?
12779I reckon she made a great fuss?"
12779I suppose you''ll not deny that_ she_ wears a cap?"
12779I''m not given to curiosity as a rule, but what is Emanuel Prockter doing on my bed?"
12779I''ve-- he''s--""Thou''st not kissed him?"
12779If you care for Emanuel Prockter, why did you play that trick on him this afternoon?"
12779In th''way o''supper, as ye might say?"
12779It was that afternoon when Sarah called; do you remember, uncle?"
12779James turned his back on the captain, moved off, and then-- how can one explain it?
12779Jarndyce?"
12779Miser, eh?
12779Now will you drop in one day and see me?"
12779Now, what can we do?"
12779Now, what do you think?"
12779Now, would you care to see the rest of the house?"
12779Ollerenshaw?"
12779Ollerenshaw?"
12779Ollerenshaw?"
12779Ollerenshaw?"
12779Ollerenshaw?"
12779Ollerenshaw?"
12779Ollerenshaw?"
12779Ollerenshaw?"
12779Perceiving delicious danger in the virgin''s face, James continued before she could retort,"I hope Susan was n''t gored?"
12779Prockter?"
12779Prockter?"
12779Prockter?"
12779Prockter?"
12779Prockter?"
12779Sensible?
12779Shall we go there?
12779Should he yield to her?
12779So you decided to come to my concert, eh?"
12779So you''re teaching up yonder?"
12779Something tasty?"
12779Surely you know Andrew Dean?"
12779Th''farmer saved her from a mad bull, and she fell in love with him?
12779Then Helen said, with a faint, cold smile, in a voice very low and very clear:"What''s the matter with you, Mr. Prockter?
12779This way, is n''t it?
12779Three- and- six a week?"
12779Was Helen laughing at him?
12779Was Helen treating him as an individual of no importance?
12779Was he not as capable as any man of sitting with a lady in the dark?
12779Was it, after all, possible, conceivable, that she was in love with Emanuel?
12779Well, would it?
12779What about my reputation?
12779What about my tea?"
12779What about?"
12779What are you going to do with it?
12779What art going to do, lass?"
12779What could she be chopping?
12779What do you think I can do with myself all day in Trafalgar- road?
12779What do you think of that?"
12779What had the direction of Mrs. Prockter''s cap to do with him?
12779What have I to be ashamed of?"
12779What he said was:"Well, lass, how goes it, like?"
12779What should I do in it?"
12779What sort of an idea?"
12779What''s to be done?"
12779When does th''steamer sail?"
12779Where hast hidden it?
12779Where is your hand?"
12779Where''s he gone to?"
12779Who else is there?"
12779Whom shall you leave your money to?
12779Why ca n''t you use it now, instead of wasting it in old stockings?"
12779Why do n''t you ask me to sail without my head?"
12779Why do n''t you let him hold it here?
12779Why should I want to do anything?
12779Why should he blush because Helen expressed a vague, hostile curiosity as to the direction of Mrs. Prockter''s cap?
12779Why should not he sit with a lady in the dark?
12779Why?
12779Why?"
12779Would not Helen be entirely capable of looking after it, of superintending it in every way?
12779Ye''re not serious, lass?"
12779Yet did she cease firing?
12779You mean that?"
12779You will lend it me, wo n''t you?"
12779You''ll guess what about?"
12779_ What are you going to do with it_?
12779he snarled coming back to her"What''s the matter with you?
12779the captain called out; and his tone implied, gently:"Do n''t you think you''ve kept me waiting long enough?
4734''A couple of miles?''
4734''A lady in the case?''
4734''A perfectly lawful burglary?''
4734''A thousand?''
4734''AND MEANTIME I''M SUPPOSED TO BE DYING, AM I?''
4734''And ca''st drive it, lad?''
4734''And do you mean to tell me that a will like that is good in law?''
4734''And he took you out in a boat?''
4734''And how am I going to dispose of it when I''ve got it?''
4734''And if I DO see those roses,''he went on,''I shall take upon myself to drop in for tea, may I?''
4734''And is n''t it extraordinary?''
4734''And may I ask just how old you are?''
4734''And she accepted you at once?''
4734''And she never married?''
4734''And supposing you are n''t there?''
4734''And the other sister-- Mrs Colclough?''
4734''And the other sister?''
4734''And what be the news?''
4734''And what''s YOUR game?''
4734''And where are you going to now?''
4734''And who is Annie Brett?''
4734''And you are cured?''
4734''Annie BRETT?''
4734''Annie?
4734''Anti- social, is it?
4734''Are you going to town early?''
4734''Are you there?
4734''Are you, my pet?
4734''At Ilam?''
4734''Better not say anything about this to Miss-- to Annie, eh?''
4734''Better take your dust- coat off, had n''t you?''
4734''But how shall you manage to get away, darling?''
4734''But what--?''
4734''But where, you cuckoo, sitting there like that?''
4734''But why didst- na''give in and kiss him, and smack his face for him?''
4734''But why--?''
4734''But you do n''t mean to tell me she''s never--''I was just going to exclaim, but I did not, I said:''And it''s her sister who is Mrs Colclough?''
4734''But you''ll stop with us, of course?''
4734''But, my dear,''Stephen protested,''you know--''''Will you lend me half- a- sovereign?''
4734''But, really, uncle, it was so absurd of Harold, was n''t it?''
4734''By the way,''said Mr Brindley,''you used to know Simon Fuge, did n''t you?''
4734''Ca n''t she turn him over neater than that?''
4734''Ca n''t we do anything?''
4734''Cafe?''
4734''Can you stop me from having a headache tomorrow?''
4734''Cheerful, is n''t it?''
4734''Come along in, will you?''
4734''Curious, ai n''t it?''
4734''Did n''t I say as I should get it, Bob?''
4734''Did n''t he take you out in a boat?''
4734''Did n''t you know he was a painter?''
4734''Did the water run over his mouf?
4734''Did they not deserve it?
4734''Did you get the Sinfonia Domestica, Ol?''
4734''Did you have a comfortable journey down?''
4734''Did you know him?''
4734''Did you think I collected postage- stamps?''
4734''Do n''t you know?
4734''Do n''t you remember old Fuge that kept the Blue Bell at Cauldon?''
4734''Do you ever see the Manchester Guardian?''
4734''Do you know the limerick--"There was a young woman of Bosley"?''
4734''Do you often see the Gazette?''
4734''Do you suppose,''he said,''as I have n''t had plans o''your castle ever since it was built?
4734''Do you think so, uncle?''
4734''Do you think so?''
4734''Do you?''
4734''Ever been caught before?''
4734''Feel better now, do n''t you?''
4734''Figure?''
4734''From the British Museum?''
4734''GIVE you for doing the job?''
4734''GIVE you?
4734''Germany?''
4734''Had n''t you better go?''
4734''Harold''s grandfather, not mine?''
4734''Have you got that newspaper in your pocket, Mr Loring?''
4734''He ran with you all the way to the station, did n''t he?''
4734''How big is the lake?''
4734''How came he to go with you?''
4734''How came the will to be in the post?''
4734''How did it end?''
4734''How did it get here?''
4734''How do we know?
4734''How do we know?''
4734''How do you do, Mr Loring?''
4734''How do, Bob?
4734''How do, Bob?''
4734''How do, Bob?''
4734''How do, Pow?''
4734''How do, missis?''
4734''How do?''
4734''How do?''
4734''How do?''
4734''How exasperating?''
4734''How long is it, Ol?''
4734''How many children have you?''
4734''How much didst say this traction- engine had cost thee?''
4734''How much shall I give to the boy for the horse and trap, uncle?''
4734''How much?''
4734''How often have I told you the top part is never easiest?
4734''How old art?''
4734''How would you like to commit a burglary that was not a crime?''
4734''I expect you''ve heard Strauss''s Sinfonia Domestica, Mr Loring, up in the village?''
4734''I say, Vera,''he demanded, in a low, slightly inimical tone,''have you taken a sovereign out of the empty drawer in your toilet- table?''
4734''I suppose burgling does n''t pay very well, does it?''
4734''I suppose it will be in the papers?''
4734''I suppose you could n''t put it off for a couple of hours one night, May?''
4734''I suppose you knew him?''
4734''I suppose you know Simon Fuge is dead?''
4734''I suppose you''ll admit she WAS wearing white roses in her hat?''
4734''I suppose you''ll have to go back to the Works at once?''
4734''I suppose your sister knew him pretty well?''
4734''In London?''
4734''In Manchester?''
4734''Is Ned Walklate still at th''Rose and Crown?''
4734''Is he?''
4734''Is it in the paper?''
4734''Is it, indeed?''
4734''Is this Mrs Hall''s?''
4734''It must be somewhere about,''I said; and to Mrs Colclough:''I suppose you knew him pretty well?''
4734''It will avoid the necessity for another-- so much-- you understand?...''
4734''Life''s very complex, ai n''t it, Bob?''
4734''Louisa,''she demanded of the parlourmaid,''where is your master?''
4734''Machine going all right?''
4734''Maud, what are you doing?''
4734''Me and Annie?
4734''My hall?''
4734''News?''
4734''No steam?''
4734''No?''
4734''Nor-- anything?''
4734''Not in the Five Towns, I trust?''
4734''Now, Bob,''an amicable voice shrieked femininely up from the ground- floor,''am I to send the soup to the bathroom or are you coming down?''
4734''Now, then, what about these two sisters?''
4734''Oh, I''m too late, am I?''
4734''Oh, did he?''
4734''Oh, is it?''
4734''Please, Mrs Dawson wants to know if Mrs Durance can kindly lend her half- a- dozen knives and forks?''
4734''Ready?''
4734''Seems queer him dying at San Remo in September, does n''t it?''
4734''Shall we go down to the drawing- room and have tea, eh?''
4734''Shall you be at chapel next Sunday morning?''
4734''She is n''t absolutely dying, I find,''said Charlie, turning to Vera:''You are going to the dance after all-- aren''t you?''
4734''She is n''t the same sort of person, is she?''
4734''So he''s been quarrelling with ye, Maud?''
4734''So ye''n been married a year?''
4734''So ye''ve come back?''
4734''So you have special trains in these parts?''
4734''So you''re paying a visit to Bursley, uncle?''
4734''Stephen, what on earth are you thinking of?
4734''Steve,''she said,''are we friends?''
4734''Stolen?''
4734''Stuck, eh?''
4734''Talking of Simon Fuge,''I said determined to satisfy my curiosity,''who WERE the two sisters?''
4734''That''s not you, Tobias?''
4734''That''s our little affected cry that we start for our milk, is n''t it?''
4734''The Birmingham Gazette?''
4734''The St Luke''s lot?''
4734''The one about the hayrick?''
4734''Then I must stay here alone?''
4734''Then why are you in such a stew to be rid of it?''
4734''Then why did you tell me just now you had n''t taken it?''
4734''Then you want to defend, Harrisford?
4734''There''s an illuminated manuscript of that name in the Imperial Library of Vienna, is n''t there?''
4734''Tonight?''
4734''Trifle, then?''
4734''Was Miss Brett ever Simon Fuge''s mistress?''
4734''Was that in the Gazette?
4734''We do n''t like clothes, do we?''
4734''We do n''t like it, do we?
4734''We do n''t like our face wiped, do we?''
4734''Well, then, why dunna''ye stand out o''th''wee and let them get in as wants to?''
4734''Well, tomorrow night?''
4734''Well, why do n''t you stop up one night and steal it yourself, and then burn it?''
4734''Well,''said Mr Bittenger to Vera, at length,''what age should you give me?''
4734''Well?''
4734''What ARE you getting at?''
4734''What IS Mr Colclough?''
4734''What about the mumps, wife?''
4734''What are they for?''
4734''What are we to do?''
4734''What are you doing?''
4734''What are you going to give me for the job?''
4734''What be that?''
4734''What do they say about him?''
4734''What do they think of Fuge down here?''
4734''What do you THINK of Gladstone down here?''
4734''What do you expect?''
4734''What do you mean, uncle?''
4734''What do you think of my new hat, Felix?''
4734''What dost think of it, Bob?''
4734''What if it is Christmas Eve?''
4734''What is it?''
4734''What on earth made you think so?''
4734''What price this for a dog?''
4734''What shall I do?''
4734''What should you have done in my place?''
4734''What sort of a man was he?''
4734''What time did you get up this morning?''
4734''What two sisters?''
4734''What''s th''maning o''this eclipse as you''m treating us to?''
4734''What''s that got to do with it?
4734''What''s that place?''
4734''What''s the figure?''
4734''What''s the meaning of this?''
4734''What''s this?''
4734''What''s up these days?''
4734''What''s up wi''Maud?''
4734''What, down at the Tiger?''
4734''What, the Signal?''
4734''What-- the women, you mean?''
4734''What?
4734''What?
4734''What?''
4734''What?''
4734''What?''
4734''What?''
4734''When can you do it?''
4734''When did YOU last see him?''
4734''When did you propose to her?''
4734''When was that?''
4734''When''s next train Derby way?''
4734''When?''
4734''Where are you going, Ol?''
4734''Where be going?''
4734''Where did he die?''
4734''Where is it?''
4734''Where''s he gone to?''
4734''Where''s the mater?''
4734''Where?''
4734''Which?''
4734''Whisky?''
4734''Who is it?''
4734''Who the dagger is Simon Fuge?''
4734''Who''d have thought of that?
4734''Who''s Simon Fuge?''
4734''Who?''
4734''Why do I owe you sixpence?''
4734''Why not?''
4734''Why would n''t you let me into the dining- room?''
4734''Why, it''s ages since--''''And what d''ye reckon ye''n gotten here?''
4734''Why?''
4734''Why?''
4734''Why?''
4734''Wife,''said Mr Brindley, without giving her time to greet me,''what do you think he''s just asked me?''
4734''Will you lend me half- a- sovereign?''
4734''Will you?''
4734''Wilt come down- stairs?''
4734''Wo n''t it do tomorrow, my pet?''
4734''Would n''t you, Mr Loring?''
4734''Would you like to see her?''
4734''Would you prefer Christmas Day?
4734''Yes, dearest?''
4734''Yes, it''s dreadful having our face washed, is n''t it?''
4734''Yes?''
4734''You are n''t by any chance buying it?''
4734''You are n''t going to buy another hat, are you?''
4734''You carry me down- stairs, unky?''
4734''You do n''t expect us to listen, do you?''
4734''You do n''t mean to say he''s dead?''
4734''You do n''t mean to say-- you and mother--?''
4734''You have n''t had supper yet, I expect?''
4734''You''ve not ORDERED it?''
4734''Young?''
4734''Younger than Miss Brett?''
4734A coincidence, of course, nothing else?
4734And Sidney said he was awfully sorry, and had no notion how matters stood, and could he do anything for Horace?
4734And how soon would Robert have the right to come along and say HIS say?
4734And then to Horace, in a curt tone:''What is it?''
4734And they responded laconically--''How do, Bob?''
4734And was he not the father of his native borough?
4734And what did he know he was''right''about?
4734And what did she get in return?
4734And''How do, little''un?''
4734Are you coming up?''
4734As Mr Brindley passed into the interior of the car, he said laconically to two men who were smoking on the platform--''How do, Jim?
4734But could she be expected to go about a murder deliberately like that?
4734But did Stephen show the slightest concern?
4734But do you suppose I could continue with Wordsworth in the train?
4734But how could she warn him?
4734But how?''
4734But it''s a presentation portrait, and so I can''t-- you see, Mr Smith?''
4734But let me have one of the beds in your spare room, will you?
4734But supposing that Vera had not interfered, what would have happened?
4734But what could Horace do?
4734But what could he do?
4734But what then?
4734But what then?
4734But would either of them be the first to express that curiosity?
4734But you do n''t expect us to show it, do you?
4734But, look here, bright star, this gadding about is all very well, but what about those precious kids of yours?
4734Can you come now?''
4734Can you roll one?''
4734Can''st spare a minute?''
4734Could it be expected of her that she should yield?
4734Could one dine alone in Jermyn Street or Panton Street without this fine piquant evening commentary on the gross newspapers of the morning?
4734Did it?''
4734Did she not dress solely and wholly to please him?
4734Didst think I was going to trust mysen i''that thing o''yours again?
4734Do n''t I?''
4734Do n''t you find it very close?
4734Do n''t you know what I mean?''
4734Do n''t you understand that uncle has only this minute told me that he MUST have brandy?''
4734Do you hear what he says, Stephen?''
4734Do you imagine anyone cared a twopenny damn for Perkins''s Wedgwood ware?''
4734Do you know what it is?
4734Do you know, my man, that people come all the way from Manchester, and even London, to see that portrait?''
4734Do you mind?
4734Dost understand?''
4734Eh, Maria?''
4734Eh?
4734Eh?
4734Further, was not Sidney''s sad condition slowly killing his mother?
4734Had he not been three times mayor of his native borough?
4734Have a drop o''green, Ol?''
4734He ran away from home once, did n''t he, and his mother had a port- wine stain on her left cheek?
4734How are you?''
4734How are you?''
4734How do, Jo?''
4734How many firsts has he won, doctor?''
4734How old were you?''
4734How on earth had he learnt that she had bought it?
4734How was he going to explain the tepidity, the desertion, the long sin against love of ten years?
4734I''ve never explained to you why I''m chairman of the Management Committee, have I?
4734IV''But whatever made you do it, dearest?''
4734If Colclough makes money and chooses to go to Paris and get the best motor- car he can, why in Hades should n''t his wife ride in it?
4734If he is fond of music and can play like the devil, that is n''t his sister- in- law''s fault, is it?
4734If she suits him, what''s the matter?''
4734If the difference in the situations of the two sisters did n''t strike you as very extraordinary, what did you mean?''
4734If this was not love- making on a sofa, what could be?
4734In short, how was he going to explain the inexplicable?
4734Is he?''
4734Is it sleepy?
4734Is she going to keep them?
4734Is that you, Buchanan?
4734Is that you, Buchanan?
4734Is the sandman throwing sand in your eyes?
4734It would have been rather difficult, would n''t it?
4734It''s not one o''them Fuge brothers saggar- makers at Longshaw, is it?''
4734John demanded, furious; and, simultaneously, Robert demanded:''What in Hades are YOU doing here?''
4734Like to come in and see the museum for a minute?
4734Mr Brindley greeted her, and to his wife,''How do, missis?
4734Mrs Penkethman, is that you?''
4734Now, what are you getting at, governor?
4734Of course, I can talk to you now with perfect freedom, ca n''t I?
4734Old Sandman at it?
4734Robert took the slate and wrote on it:''What is Liversage coming about?''
4734Sarah-- my housekeeper, thou know''st--''''Not dead?''
4734See that?''
4734See?''
4734She could n''t have written like that, could she?''
4734Simple Simon?''
4734Simply an encouragement to lie on the seats and spit on the ceiling, is n''t it?
4734So Liversage was obliged at length to say--''I reckon I''d better read you the will, eh?''
4734So Vera approached her husband, and said, with an enchanting, innocent smile--''Lend me half- a- sovereign, will you, doggie?''
4734So that''s the Wedgwood Institution, is it?''
4734So this is it, is it?
4734Supper ready?''
4734Suppose he forgot those belongings on the rack?
4734Suppose we have it opened now, eh?
4734Suppose, sublimely careless, he descended from the train and left them there?
4734Surely Stephen would come upstairs to inquire about her health, her indisposition?
4734Surely he might have borrowed money from Sidney?
4734THE MURDER OF THE MANDARIN I''What''s that you''re saying about murder?''
4734That''s surely something of Fuge''s, is n''t it?''
4734The next morning, at breakfast, Cheswardine demanded--''Getting pretty hard up, are n''t you, Maria?''
4734Then what does she expect them to do?''
4734They seem to have thought quite a lot of him in London, then?''
4734Uncle Dan?''
4734Was he not about to see Roger''s tub?
4734Was not the mere suspicion of this enough to kill any mother?
4734Was not the whole northern half of the county dotted and spangled by his benefactions, his institutions, his endowments?
4734We will come tomorrow, wo n''t we, auntie?''
4734We''ll play the first movement of the G minor?
4734We''se a little Hottentot, are n''t we?''
4734Well, what do you THINK of it?
4734Well, you will say, credit, in other words, tick?
4734Well, you will say, what is a guinea to a dainty creature with a hundred a year?
4734Well, you will say, why could n''t she blandish and cajole Stephen for a sovereign or so?
4734What are they going to do?''
4734What are you going to do, Oliver?''
4734What could Stephen say in depreciation of this gift from their oldest and best friend?
4734What could the Five Towns know about art?
4734What did he die of?''
4734What did you think of those cigars?
4734What do you take me for?
4734What do you think of me as a stepfather?''
4734What dreadful weather we''re having, are n''t we?''
4734What in thunder do you mean by having nothing in tonight about Simon Fuge''s death?
4734What is it?''
4734What will Bittenger think?''
4734What would they say of his death?
4734What''s his lady friend like?''
4734When she''s robbed them of their living, what does she expect them to do?
4734Who can tell what was passing in the breast of Mr Brindley?
4734Who do you suppose is going to keep this symphony together-- you or me?''
4734Who is it?''
4734Who knows?
4734Who the devil was Simon Fuge?''
4734Who told you?''
4734Why could n''t you tell me before?''
4734Why should I not have had what I did not object to having?
4734Why should the Countess of Chell want to rob a lot of respectable young ladies of their living?
4734Why the devil could n''t you stop in Scotland and edit papers there?''
4734Will you come, Mr Loring?
4734Yet would it be better?
4734You do n''t suppose this is our usual tipple, do you?''
4734You do n''t want me to box, really?''
4734You may ask, Why did he not explain the situation to Sidney?
4734You may go into a theatre when it is empty and dark; but did you ever go into a private bar that was empty and dark?
4734You think he might keep the other sister?
4734You understand?''
4734You''ve got a couple of his etchings, have n''t you?''
4734You''ve got the will, then?''
4734did you?''
4734exclaimed Mr Blackshaw, and then turning to his visitors,''Did you hear that?''
4734what do you think of that?''
4734whispered his mother,''getting seepy?
7326A''nt I pouched you all cleverly, stap me, seeing the ink on my commission''s hardly dry? 7326 Among them a letter addressed simply,''To His Royal Highness''?"
7326And Italian?
7326And how does that excuse your neglect?
7326And how long does it take to shoe a horse?
7326And how, sir?
7326And if I could so far forget my nature as to come where love of your sort, the love of a mere brute beast, awaits me, you would forget everything?
7326And no doubt you know by heart the merry gests of Robin Hood and the admirable exploits of Claude Duval?
7326And now, O Nimrod of the watery plains, how far is it to the village smithy?
7326And play the harpsichord?
7326And then?
7326And what about Jack Dobson?
7326And what for does anybody want a thing tat goes dead to tell ta time wi''? 7326 And what sort of dragoons are you cornet of?"
7326And what the devil do I want with them?
7326And when did you offend me, think you?
7326And when was it,said he, rapping the words out like hammer- strokes on an anvil,"that the Macdonalds got feart?"
7326And where is Joe?
7326And where were you taking me?
7326And who may be the Duke of Devonshire?
7326And why do you stand aside from us both?
7326And why, sir?
7326And you, Sir James?
7326Any luck?
7326Any more coincidences?
7326Anything I have?
7326Anything the matter with him?
7326Anything the matter?
7326Are n''t you afraid to trust baby with such an inexperienced nurse?
7326Are we still in Staffordshire, Master Wheatman?
7326Are you a Jacobite?
7326Are you alone?
7326Are you as one fighting a Goliath?
7326Are you better, Oliver?
7326Are you ready, lad?
7326Are you really Swift Nicks, sir?
7326Are you the doctor?
7326At the''Ring o''Bells,''began Master Freake, addressing me,"you took from my lord Brocton''s sergeant, now dead, a bundle of papers?"
7326Bammed and beaten by a damned yokel?
7326Be there owt I can do for y''r, sir? 7326 Be there owt I can do for y''r, sir?"
7326Be there such things as rale quanes, Jin?
7326Be y''r honour going far?
7326Be yow another stinking robber, like this''n?
7326Because of what? 7326 Big- headed man, with a mouth slit up to his left ear?"
7326Bloggs? 7326 But what for?
7326But why laugh?
7326Can I see Master Freake?
7326Can he talk sense yet?
7326Can you stand?
7326Chester? 7326 Colonel Waynflete and his daughter will be left at liberty to go their way, if I surrender?"
7326Commander of the party?
7326Could you learn of no reason?
7326Curse you, will you never get out of your yokel''s ways?
7326D''ye ken wha the chiel is?
7326D''ye know where y''re going?
7326D''ye know why, a month ago, I badgered Newcastle into getting me a company in the Blues?
7326Did he recognize you as''Moll''of the Hanyards?
7326Did they leave him in the lurch?
7326Did y''ask''er?
7326Did you get some right Strasburg for the Colonel?
7326Did you make him out, Nance?
7326Do I look like an assistant aide- de- camp to a prince?
7326Do you agree, Colonel?
7326Do you know where you are going?
7326Do you really think the Captain intended you to escape?
7326Do your terms hold good?
7326Does he say that I''m sprawling about in somebody''s belly?
7326Does that mean harm to Master Freake?
7326Duty?
7326Enough?
7326For what particular service to the cause, madam?
7326For what, madam?
7326For what?
7326Forgive you? 7326 Forgive you?"
7326Frightened,she said scornfully,"you frightened, you who leaped unarmed on the best swordsman in London?
7326Game?
7326Go on where?
7326Ha''ye made a''right at the bridge yonder, Maclachlan?
7326Hanyards? 7326 Have I not told you, Master Oliver, that between man''s logic and woman''s logic there''s a great gulf fixed?"
7326Have the ladies started already?
7326Have you been neglecting me, sir?
7326Have you had enough?
7326Have you heard it read?
7326Have you heard the news?
7326Have you taken out your commission, sir?
7326He was your friend?
7326Hello, there,broke in the Colonel, addressing himself to me,"who was right about the dog''s life?"
7326Here?
7326How d''ye do?
7326How do you know that?
7326How does it feel now?
7326How does that assure me?
7326How does the maxim run now, sir?
7326How far is it to Ellerton Grange?
7326How is Mistress Waynflete, sir?
7326How long will it take you to get there?
7326How many are there?
7326How many shoes, madam?
7326How old was she?
7326How the deuce do you know?
7326How would you stop it, sir?
7326I say, Mr. Wheatman,broke in the pleasant voice of the Marquess,"you do n''t happen to have any venison- pasty on you, I suppose?
7326I suppose he half drowned you?
7326I trust you are comfortable, madam?
7326I? 7326 I?
7326In a red beard?
7326In what respect, Mistress Margaret?
7326Is Jane so very fond of money, Joe?
7326Is he a rebel?
7326Is he at home?
7326Is he boasting this morning?
7326Is he dead?
7326Is he really a hell- hound, Joe, when he''s got a sup of beer in him? 7326 Is it a straight road to Uttoxeter?"
7326Is it into the fire or into the fender?
7326Is it that you''re telling me?
7326Is n''t that rather mean?
7326Is there any doubt that I am the insulted person?
7326John Freake joking in money matters?
7326Jorkins, you great ass,cried he to the first servant,"what do you mean by keeping his honour waiting?"
7326Make of what?
7326May I finish my sentence, madam?
7326May I not do as much as your pet ghostie did for you without being a miracle? 7326 May I pull his ears, Your Highness?"
7326Mr. Freake,he piped, laying an imploring hand on the merchant''s arm,"you will not be too hard on my foolish son?"
7326My Lord Brocton?
7326My Lord Tiverton, what does this intrusion mean?
7326My head ever trouble me?
7326Nance, my sweet lass,said I, pulling Sultan up,"do you know that dirty little ale- house near your home?"
7326No loan, lad, but my first contribution to the expenses of-- what shall we say for safety? 7326 No?"
7326Not your father, apparently?
7326Oh, Oliver, what have you got your best clothes on for?
7326Oh, then? 7326 Oliver, do you remember waking me in the barn?"
7326Oliver, you''ll do me a favour, wo n''t you?
7326Oliver,he said to me one day,"what is the difference between the Hebrew Bible and a woman?"
7326Or her creamy dress with the gold flowers all over it?
7326Pe she hurtit?
7326Pimples all over his face?
7326Pish, man, the trade in salted herrings is no more a nursery of seamen than I''m-- Damme, what''s this, Oliver? 7326 Precisely what have you to say?"
7326Rabbit- stew? 7326 Really, Master Wheatman, not curious?
7326Reflected on you?
7326Several attempts have been made to recover the letter from you?
7326Sir James Blount?
7326So anxious to be rid of me? 7326 Sommat like a jail delivery, eh, y''r''onour?
7326Take the wall?
7326Then I may take it that you are comfortable?
7326Then if I choose to say,''On the banks of the Susquehanna, ten years hence, with tomahawks,''so it must be?
7326Then if Kate had not hidden your beloved Virgil, you would not have gone fishing?
7326Then what are you?
7326Then what the blazes are you doing here?
7326Then who are you?
7326Then why did n''t you know?
7326There''s nothing wrong with the skull, is there?
7326They do not catch many thirty- pound jack, I suppose?
7326Think I care? 7326 This is his house, I think?"
7326Was it the ghost of a lady?
7326Was it you?
7326Was she a pretty ghost?
7326Was she wearing her brown riding- coat with the pretty wee shoulder capes?
7326Was that the chap?
7326We''re all friends here?
7326Weir knows who you are, sir, I take it?
7326Well, Oliver?
7326Well?
7326What a God''s name, d''ye think I bought him for, Mr. Wicks? 7326 What are these devils?"
7326What can I do for you? 7326 What d''ye mean?"
7326What d''ye say to that, Tom Sheridan?
7326What d''ye want to come back''ere for, upsettin''Jin like this''n?
7326What do you call it?
7326What do you make of Master Freake?
7326What do you number all told?
7326What do you say, Master Wheatman? 7326 What do you think of that, Geordie Murray?
7326What for? 7326 What have you to say for yourself?"
7326What is it, Oliver?
7326What is it, madam?
7326What is it?
7326What lands?
7326What news?
7326What of it?
7326What sort of guts was it brought yow tumblin''down so quick?
7326What sort of men have you got? 7326 What tale?"
7326What the blazes have I done to upset Jin?
7326What the hell does he mean?
7326What then?
7326What then?
7326What''s he done to upset you?
7326What''s it all about, Donald?
7326What''s it matter to us here who''s got a crown on his head in London?
7326What''s the blemish?
7326What, madam?
7326What, you?
7326Whatever for?
7326Whatever for?
7326Where d''ye think y''re going?
7326Where the hell''s your coat?
7326Where the painted woman lives, sir?
7326Where to?
7326Which of the soldiers provided our breakfast, madam? 7326 Who is it?"
7326Who''re you grandadding? 7326 Who''s Copper Nob?"
7326Who''s her, you jolt- head?
7326Who''s there?
7326Why ca n''t you speak, Oliver? 7326 Why didna y''bring''er back wi''ye, then?"
7326Why didna y''marry''er y''rsel'', Master Noll, and bring''er back''ere, then Jin wud''a''bin all rate?
7326Why make flesh of one and fish of another?
7326Why not? 7326 Why should we not go on?"
7326Why the Trent?
7326Why the deuce ca n''t he smile at me?
7326Why wo n''t she?
7326Why, my lady?
7326Will he?
7326Will ye write your names to it, or will ye not?
7326Wo n''t you listen to me, Margaret? 7326 Worry about you or worry you?"
7326Would you prefer any other designation or description, my lords?
7326Wrought a miracle? 7326 You do not understand?"
7326You gave that letter to me, unopened, in the presence of Mistress Waynflete?
7326You have led a quiet life, Master Wheatman?
7326You have read much?
7326You knew I''d come, sir, did n''t you?
7326You know exactly what to do?
7326You know him, sir?
7326You know my father?
7326You shot him?
7326You understand, Madge?
7326You want me to throw in the cattle- drover?
7326You want to frighten me again, do you?
7326You would, I suppose, feel surer of me if you sat inside the door?
7326You''re not expecting me to say you did n''t, are you?
7326You''re sure you do n''t understand Italian?
7326Your duty to your King included?
7326''Smiting and praying''?
7326A minute later he banged them on the floor and said,"And how do you find yourself, sir?"
7326After a long silence, so long that I tried to find an explanation of it, she said,"You refer to my father?"
7326All my men are abed, so we must do it ourselves, but, by Heaven, it will be a pleasure, Master-- what may I call you, sir?"
7326Am I right, my lord?"
7326And pray, madam, what have I done to make you uneasy?"
7326And the therefore, my beef- eating friend, is....?"
7326And what else makes you uneasy?"
7326And what for?"
7326And you got that out of Virgil?"
7326And, besides, what possible motive could there be in letting me escape?
7326Anything else?"
7326Are you a swordsman, Master Wheatman?"
7326Are you an Irishman?"
7326Are you playing on?
7326Are you quite well?"
7326Are you sure it does n''t trouble you, Oliver?
7326Are you sure?"
7326As the spy crept near, Master Freake stood up, wheeled round on him smartly, and said,"How d''ye do, Turnditch?"
7326At last, in a lull in the gale, the Colonel, addressing the Prince, curtly demanded,"Who is the chief military commander of your army, sir?"
7326But what''s a marquess to do, Noll?
7326But why that suspicion of asperity on her face?
7326But will you be good enough to tell me why you come?"
7326Can I be loyal to my father''s creed and also to my child''s interests?
7326Charles took his rappee thoughtfully and then said,"What is the best way of dealing with a solid body of the enemy with inferior forces?"
7326Could any enterprise be more hopeless than the one my heart, against all the strivings of sense and reason, was beginning to set me?
7326D''ye ca''that sense, Kit Waynflete?"
7326D''you happen to be of my Lord Brocton''s regiment?"
7326Dear me, but this is n''t a council meeting, and what''s the beadle''s coat got to do with horse- stealing?"
7326Did ever man enjoy such fat luck as mine?
7326Did he not think I could take care of myself?
7326Did n''t our Kate sing all morning when Jack was coming in the afternoon?
7326Did you chance to see him?"
7326Do n''t you see what I''ve made you do, Master Wheatman?"
7326Do they suit me, Oliver?"
7326Do you know it?"
7326Do you know this country, Oliver?"
7326Does your head ever trouble you?"
7326Dot Gibson''s respects to his honour, and would his honour like the refreshment of a shave and a bath as both were at his service?
7326Egad, Master Wheatman, is not that a touch of the real artist?"
7326Eh, man, is n''t she a monkey?
7326Eh, thrifty William?"
7326Flush with the window it would have made an admirable means of attack, but why the space between?
7326God bless you, old Noll, how are you?"
7326Have you both got that?"
7326Have you your money still?"
7326He met the taunt as if it had been a flip with a straw, and only said,"Is it a bargain?"
7326He waved my hospitality aside, and said,"You are Oliver Wheatman?"
7326He''ll make an ideal father, do n''t you think?"
7326How are they?"
7326How are you, my precious?"
7326How are you?
7326How big was the chub?"
7326How did Jack look in his uniform?"
7326How did it happen?"
7326How did it happen?"
7326How do you fancy me as a knight of the road?
7326How long had they been there?
7326How so?"
7326How was that?"
7326How will that do?"
7326How''s the head?"
7326I cried, half angry and yet wholly delighted;"what of marvel or devilment is there in picking up a hat and coat one has found lying under a tree?"
7326I had, however, for once mistaken my billet, for while thus engaged who should come in with his mother but Margaret?
7326I laughed lightly and was glad, for was not this calm, brave, splendid woman thinking of how we two had met?
7326I offered her my arm, saying,"Allow me to escort you to your home?"
7326I rendered service for service, like for like, did I not, sir?"
7326I stopped her sternly, and in a brief whisper asked,"Who''s Sultan?"
7326I stopped to gather the spray of brilliant vermilion berries she fancied, saying meanwhile,"I wonder what he is?
7326I suppose dear old Bloggs was a bachelor?"
7326I was to smile, was I?
7326If I ca n''t be both, which is to have the go- by?
7326Is he crow''s meat yet?"
7326Is he running short?"
7326Is my Lord Brocton still there?"
7326Is n''t she a sparkler?
7326Is that what you mean, sir?"
7326Is this Chartley Towers?"
7326Job?
7326Master Freake looked at him with a sedate half- smile, and said,"How d''ye do, my lord?"
7326May I have the pleasure of learning yours?"
7326May we be married?"
7326Mean to tell me this is a Jacobite?"
7326More of dear Kate''s cordial?"
7326Murderers?"
7326No doubt yokel blood ought not to run like wine under the mighty pulse of Virgil, and I sourly asked,"What''s curious, madam?
7326Once or twice we met a man who cried,"What''s up?"
7326Plainly as if she spoke the words, her great blue eyes were saying,"Am I leaning on a broken reed?"
7326Point two: are you satisfied with the inside?"
7326Shall we make the most of it while we have it and sleep here, dad?"
7326Shall we once more breathe the upper air, as Virgil would put it?
7326She even said,"Master Noll, do n''t''e think as''ow th''ale be gettin''flat downstairs?
7326She pouted and frowned, both at once, and the Colonel bawled through the noise of the fusillade,"Being what?"
7326She rose and took short turns up and down the cell and went on:"But why slip into jail, Master Wheatman?
7326She smiled radiantly--"Whom?
7326Smoke the Venus in the lid?
7326Suddenly she lifted her eyes up to mine and said, almost sharply,"Then what did happen to you between the Hanyards and Leek to change you?"
7326The nabobess?"
7326The question is, how are you to get there first and without being taken?"
7326Then she cried triumphantly,"What is the use, Noll, of telling our story and not saying a single word about the most important people in it?"
7326Then she said wistfully,"Why did you think I was cross?"
7326Then, as an afterthought, he added,"Here, I say, you Wheatman, do you agree?"
7326Then, curtly to me,"Your name, sir?"
7326Then, very abruptly, fixing his eyes on me, all of a swither, with my milk- stained cap in my hand,"And whom have we here?"
7326Then, when I had come to the end of my tale, she sobered all of a sudden, and said,"Oliver, what''s going to happen to us?"
7326There was no sign of anyone about, and Brocton, still with his sword ready for me, bawled out,"Where are you, you old hag?"
7326Think I picked ye out of the stews and stink- holes of London to stand this?
7326Think you that I can not pluck yon chough without being pinched?
7326Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, or what?"
7326To be short, I could not help asking myself,"Were the dragoons from the south intended as a reinforcement to the horse from the north?"
7326To be the most beautiful woman in England, with the world at your feet-- he calls that a misfortune?"
7326To hide a note of wistfulness in her voice, she added mischievously,"Must I, Joe?"
7326To look at?"
7326Understand?"
7326Was it not a curious dream, Oliver?"
7326Was this explanation correct?
7326Were the dragoons in the town or not?
7326What about money?"
7326What about your engagement with me?"
7326What am I for, pray you, madam?"
7326What art doing here, Jack Grattidge?"
7326What can I get for your worship?"
7326What could be done with such a silly fellow?
7326What d''ye say to that, John?"
7326What did all this matter?
7326What did any untoward event or result matter?
7326What did he say?
7326What do you do?
7326What do you mean?
7326What do you mean?"
7326What do you think of the Prince?"
7326What does he know about us?"
7326What for?"
7326What fresh fact, if any, had determined it?
7326What had I but the Hanyards to solace him with?
7326What had happened to the Colonel?
7326What has happened?"
7326What have you done with him?
7326What is it?
7326What is it?"
7326What makes a maid as merry as a grig?
7326What may be the price of fat beeves in Stafford market to- day?"
7326What more d''ye want?"
7326What news of the troops, sir?
7326What of it?"
7326What of it?"
7326What of truth and substance was there in the rumours that filled all mouths?
7326What on earth was the letter about?
7326What the devil do you mean by putting me into these old rags?
7326What was going to happen?
7326What would Margaret say?
7326What would Margaret think of me?
7326What would the Prince say to my failure?
7326What''s happened?"
7326What''s his name?"
7326What''s that?
7326What''s to do here wi''lions?"
7326Wheatman?"
7326When returning, however, I could not help hearing Kate say to Mistress Waynflete,"Without a''by your leave''?"
7326Where are you?
7326Where was now the Margaret of the short, disdainful laugh?
7326Where were my eyes yesterday?"
7326Where were my fifty years of soldiering that I could n''t think of it?"
7326Where''s your share of the sacks?"
7326Whether on level terms or not, who shall decide?
7326Which way?"
7326Who could forget a face like that?"
7326Who is Davie?"
7326Who was I that I should be allowed to steal on good security?
7326Who was this stranger and why had he incurred Brocton''s enmity?
7326Who''s Bloggs?"
7326Who''s to help her there, Master Wheatman?"
7326Why Chester?"
7326Why bother about my lord Brocton?
7326Why curious?"
7326Why did you not send for me and let me nurse it better?
7326Why did you not tell father who you were and what you had done for me?"
7326Why had the pursuit been allowed to flag all the afternoon and evening, to be taken up again far on in the night?
7326Why so?"
7326Why then you?"
7326Why, I asked myself a thousand times, was I so poor a cur compared with Donald?
7326Will you call in, as if by chance, and coax him out?
7326Would it be long before the blue eyes lanced me through and through again, as when I kissed her hand among the trees by the roadside?
7326Yet he checked his horse when near me, and cried curtly,"What news from Stafford?"
7326You saw so much?"
7326You see that?"
7326You speak French?"
7326You wo n''t mind if I keep you while I reload my barkers?
7326You''ll kiss me for a pinnerfull of guineas, wo n''t you?"
7326You''re sure you''re all right, Oliver?"
7326You''ve heard of Mr. Pope, the poet?"
7326_ Pass the word:''God__ Is our strength?
7326_ See him?
7326he muttered, and I looked amusedly at him and whispered,"Who?
7326she said,"and pray where do you propose to sleep?"
13723Where am I, Meshach?
13723''Am I not equally a victim?''
13723''And can you imagine father making me go to the works?
13723''And has Aunt Hannah altered her will, too?''
13723''And have you been to bed, Bessie?''
13723''And is he coming?''
13723''And leave here?''
13723''And my shopping?''
13723''And so you still think Milly ought to be allowed to go on the stage?''
13723''And so you think you''re going to teach the old country a thing or two?''
13723''And suppose you have the horse down?''
13723''And what did he say?''
13723''And what else matters after all?''
13723''And what''s going on nowadays in old Bosley, Miss Myatt?''
13723''And what''s this?''
13723''And where are you girls to sleep?
13723''And where is the park to be?''
13723''And who''s to go to Church Street?''
13723''And you''ve kept it all this time?''
13723''And,''said the secret feminine in her,''why not?''
13723''Any letters for me?''
13723''Are n''t you surprised?''
13723''Are they?''
13723''Are they?''
13723''Are we to wait patiently, you and I, until Rose and Milly choose to get married?''
13723''Are you going down to Burgesses to see Harry?''
13723''Are you ready now, dear?''
13723''Are you really ready?''
13723''Awfully good, is n''t it?''
13723''Besides, I may n''t, may I, mamma?''
13723''Bright''s disease?''
13723''But Christmas, what about Christmas?
13723''But about the title-- the flaw?''
13723''But can you be ready, my dear?''
13723''But do you think so?''
13723''But has the doctor come home, Jack?''
13723''But how can I get married?
13723''But is n''t that rather----''''Will you promise?''
13723''But is n''t there anything I can do, uncle?''
13723''But look here, Nora, why would n''t you care to sell the house?''
13723''But what about the house, Jack?''
13723''But what can one do?''
13723''But what ought I to do?''
13723''But why should he do it?
13723''But why?''
13723''But wo n''t that make difficulties with Uncle Meshach?
13723''But wo n''t you come into the house?''
13723''But you''re coming, are n''t you?''
13723''But, my dear fellow, surely there''s no American business done through London in English goods?''
13723''But----''''Look here, Mrs. Stanway,''he leaned forward;''will you tell me just why it upsets you to think of your daughter going on the stage?''
13723''But----''''You''re not afraid, are you?''
13723''Buying much this trip?''
13723''By the by, how''s your foot?''
13723''By the way, I guess I can see you at your office one day soon?''
13723''By the way, Twemlow,''he added as Arthur was leaving the room,''didst ever thrash that business out wi''our John?
13723''By the way,''he said,''when are you coming in to look through those old accounts?''
13723''Ca n''t I just handle him?''
13723''Can ye undress yeself?''
13723''Can you manage?''
13723''Can you see any moisture on it?''
13723''Can you send it round to me at the artists''entrance in half an hour?''
13723''Can you send some one round with me for the medicine?''
13723''Can you?''
13723''Did I know what would happen?''
13723''Did I, though?''
13723''Did I?''
13723''Did n''t I see you on the canal- side with young Ryley?''
13723''Did n''t I tell you so this morning?''
13723''Did n''t I tell you the other night that I knew exactly how you felt?
13723''Did n''t you understand?''
13723''Did you find that private ledger for me out of the old safe?''
13723''Did you give Fred my note all right?''
13723''Did you inquire about that?''
13723''Do n''t you?''
13723''Do you absolutely need the money, John?''
13723''Do you ever play poker?''
13723''Do you know how many invitations?''
13723''Do you mean you wish me to go down there?''
13723''Do you mean,''he demanded,''that you wo n''t marry me and come to New York?''
13723''Do you notice that ammoniacal smell?
13723''Do you really mean----?''
13723''Do you suppose we''re going to wait for you all night?
13723''Do you think so?''
13723''Do you want anything, brother?''
13723''Do you, Jack, really?''
13723''Done it?''
13723''Eh?
13723''For how long?''
13723''For the summer, you mean?''
13723''Had n''t ye better go to bed?
13723''Happen you''ll come yourself, John?''
13723''Harry?
13723''Has Mr. Twemlow been to see you yet?''
13723''Has dad finished his breakfast already?''
13723''Has he gone?''
13723''Has n''t your father come in?''
13723''Has she ever been taught?''
13723''Has that ginger wine come?''
13723''Have you got an appointment to keep?''
13723''Have you had a good rest, my dear?''
13723''Have you heard about Arthur Twemlow coming over?''
13723''Have you heard?''
13723''Have you seen the girls?''
13723''Have you?''
13723''Have you?''
13723''How came Mr. Twemlow to be here, mother?''
13723''How often have you been seeing Fred Ryley lately?''
13723''How should you get to the works in the morning?''
13723''How?''
13723''I hope you did n''t take cold last night?''
13723''I mean,''said John,''are you going to distribute them?''
13723''I suppose he''s coming up to- night?''
13723''I suppose you do n''t remember old Mr. Twemlow, my dear?''
13723''I suppose you''ve just got to be on time at the next place?''
13723''I tell you what I''ll do-- I''ll send you copies of them, eh?''
13723''I went out for a walk, pa.''''Who with?''
13723''If you please, ma''am, shall I set supper for five?''
13723''Is John all that he seems?
13723''Is Mr. Twemlow still in the district?''
13723''Is any one coming?''
13723''Is dinner ready?''
13723''Is it all right?''
13723''Is it, by Jove?''
13723''Is it?''
13723''Is n''t he just, mother?''
13723''Is n''t it all strange?
13723''Is that a 5 or a 7?''
13723''Is that enough mustard?''
13723''Is that our rôle?
13723''Is that you?''
13723''Is that your master just come in?''
13723''It''s awfully gambly, is n''t it?
13723''It''s your affair?''
13723''Just take Mr. Myatt to the cab, will you?''
13723''Leave whom?''
13723''Let me see, this house belongs to you, does n''t it?''
13723''May I call her Mrs. Fred, ma''am?''
13723''May I choose this place?''
13723''May I have the honour, gracious lady?''
13723''May I show you how that bit goes, Miss Gardner?''
13723''Me?
13723''Milly?''
13723''Mother will be able to come with us to- morrow morning,''said Ethel, and approaching Leonora she asked:''Are you all right, mother?''
13723''Mother, shall you go with me to see Mr. Louis Lewis to- morrow?''
13723''Mother,''Ethel inquired eagerly, coming into the drawing- room,''why are father and Mr. Dain measuring the dining- room?''
13723''My foot?''
13723''No,''he answered,''are you?''
13723''No,''said Meshach;''why dost ask?''
13723''Not dressed, Rose?''
13723''Not half hard enough?''
13723''Not in such a hurry this morning?''
13723''Not satisfied with what?''
13723''Nothing to be done?''
13723''Nothing to be done?''
13723''Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Stanway?
13723''Old- fashioned?
13723''On what?''
13723''Ought n''t he?
13723''People say to me,"Why do n''t you get married?"''
13723''Really?''
13723''Say, conductor,''said Twemlow sharply, catching the luncheon- car attendant by the sleeve,''you''ve got two seats reserved for me-- Twemlow?''
13723''See Milly on the stage?''
13723''Sha n''t I?
13723''Shall I light the gas?''
13723''Shall I look?''
13723''Shall we, mother?''
13723''Shall we?''
13723''Shall you be in?''
13723''Shall you give me a whisky if I come in?''
13723''Sister,''said Meshach,''what dost think?
13723''So it is arranged?''
13723''Something very important?''
13723''Suppose my father-- made some mistake-- forgot?''
13723''That you?''
13723''That''s it,''she said,''there''s nothing to be done?''
13723''Then if your Aunt Hannah lives longest, you''ll still come in for everything, just as if your Uncle Meshach had n''t altered his will?''
13723''Then it is the heart?''
13723''Then we may n''t see him again?''
13723''Then where did you dine to- day?''
13723''Then why say anything now?''
13723''Then you are alone?''
13723''This morning?''
13723''This one yours?''
13723''Thou knowst what I mean?''
13723''To- day?''
13723''Twemlow?
13723''Was n''t that fair?''
13723''We are friends, are we not, you and I?''
13723''Well, Burgess,''Arthur said, in the portico,''I guess we''ll see these ladies home, eh?''
13723''Well, Burgess,''the Mayor whispered benevolently,''what sort of a show are we to have?''
13723''Well, just bring me in that letter from Paris that came on Saturday, will you?''
13723''Well, mother?''
13723''Well, uncle,''she said,''I have n''t seen you since you came back from the Isle of Man, have I?''
13723''Well, what do you want me to sing?''
13723''Well, why ca n''t I go?''
13723''Well,''Twemlow said,''you never know----''''You honestly think her voice is worth cultivating?''
13723''Well,''he exclaimed,''how''s everybody?
13723''Well,''she laughed,''would n''t you like me to?''
13723''Well?
13723''Well?''
13723''Well?''
13723''Well?''
13723''Were you surprised to see me?''
13723''What about American women?''
13723''What about aunt?''
13723''What about?
13723''What accent?''
13723''What am I to do?''
13723''What am I to do?''
13723''What am I to say, uncle?''
13723''What are you doing here?''
13723''What are you going to do now, Rose?''
13723''What are you laughing at, my dear?''
13723''What do you mean, dear?''
13723''What do you mean?''
13723''What do you mean?''
13723''What do you mean?''
13723''What do you want to know?''
13723''What dost mean, nephew?''
13723''What for?''
13723''What has made you think of going to live in the country?''
13723''What have you come in, Nora?''
13723''What is father''s fault, really?''
13723''What is her part?''
13723''What is it, doctor?''
13723''What is it-- this thing?''
13723''What is it?''
13723''What is it?''
13723''What is there to be done?''
13723''What name, madam?
13723''What of it?''
13723''What of?''
13723''What relations between Milly and young Burgess?''
13723''What time is it, Bessie?''
13723''What time is it?''
13723''What were you doing this afternoon, Milly?''
13723''What''s the matter with Fred, mother?''
13723''What''s the matter with Fred?''
13723''What''s this about you selling this place?''
13723''What''s this about your going to London, Rosie?''
13723''What, alone?''
13723''What?''
13723''When did you get my letter?''
13723''Where are Miss Ethel and Miss Milly?''
13723''Where are father and Mr. Twemlow?
13723''Where is he?''
13723''Where the elm- trees spread over the road?''
13723''Where''s Milly?''
13723''Where''s Rose?''
13723''Where''s mother?''
13723''Which is your bedroom?
13723''Who is it that''s coming, brother?''
13723''Who''s Arthur Twemlow?''
13723''Who''s been drinking whisky?''
13723''Who''s that just gone?''
13723''Whom from?''
13723''Whose fault is it if I am?
13723''Why did n''t some one tell me he was here?''
13723''Why do n''t you go yourself, father?''
13723''Why do you shake your head?''
13723''Why do you take all this trouble for Milly?''
13723''Why do you thus torture me?''
13723''Why does Uncle Meshach do anything?''
13723''Why dostna''speak, lass?''
13723''Why has he altered it?''
13723''Why not?''
13723''Why should n''t I be anxious?''
13723''Why will you talk like that?
13723''Why, brother?''
13723''Why, cruel one, did you play this trick on me?
13723''Why, my dear lady?
13723''Why,''she meditated,''can not this last for ever?''
13723''Why?''
13723''Why?''
13723''Why?''
13723''Why?''
13723''Why?''
13723''Will you come down into the refreshment- room?''
13723''Without saying good- bye?
13723''Wo n''t Milly sing?''
13723''Wo n''t you sit here?
13723''Would n''t it be better to take Ethel away from the works?''
13723''Would you like to go and live in the country, Nora?''
13723''Would you like to look at the garden?''
13723''Wouldst like me to make a new will, and halve it between John and Fred?
13723''Yes?''
13723''You are Mrs. Stanway?
13723''You are n''t going back to America just yet, are you?''
13723''You did?
13723''You give me your word to do nothing at all until you hear from me?''
13723''You knew nothing of this Ryley business, did you?''
13723''You know as I altered my will?''
13723''You see,''she said entreatingly, when she had hurried through her recital,''I could n''t leave them, could I?''
13723''You surely ca n''t mean that she would_ do_ for the stage?''
13723''You thought he was dead?''
13723''You would n''t?''
13723''You''ll see us again before you leave, Twemlow?''
13723''You''re doing some business together, are n''t you, Jack?''
13723''You''re for stopping a bit, eh?''
13723''You''re going out?''
13723''You''re not_ short_, my dear?''
13723''You''re sure there''s no danger now?''
13723''You''ve plenty of them over there, have n''t you-- girl- clerks?''
13723*****''Mother, whatever do you think?''
13723*****''So you know what has happened to us?''
13723*****''Well, how''s business, Twemlow?
13723And I''ve thought:"Suppose I do get her to New York, and she is n''t happy?"
13723And after a pause,''John''s i''smooth water again, is n''t he?
13723And all the time she was asking herself:''Why did Uncle Meshach alter his will?
13723And do n''t you think we can keep an eye on Rose and Millicent, between us?''
13723And how are you all?
13723And in exchange for the toil, the fatigue, and the distressing reaction, what had she won?
13723And leave uncle?''
13723And of what use to tell John?
13723And once again her husband might justifiably have demanded:''What have I done this time?''
13723And then:''Would you mind shutting the door after Jack?''
13723And was it possible that the girls had observed the qualities of Arthur''s dancing and had observed nothing else?
13723And when you write to your sister, will you give her my kindest regards?''
13723And where are the girls?''
13723And where shall I be if she dies first?''
13723And would n''t your life be spoilt?
13723Are n''t you coming in?''
13723Are n''t you going to smoke?''
13723Are you dead?"''
13723Are you making a long stay in London, Mrs. Stanway?
13723Are you sure there''s anything in it?
13723At Knype?''
13723Baggage labelled?''
13723Before, when they needed your protection perhaps, when your husband was alive, you would have left Rose and Milly then, would n''t you?...
13723But the fear asked:''Why is he so worn?
13723But who''s to take you?
13723But why did you let him leave?''
13723But wouldst like it, lass?''
13723By the way, had n''t I better go out and offer a reward for the recovery of Twemlow?''
13723CHAPTER IV AN INTIMACY''Does father really mean it about me going to the works to- morrow?''
13723Ca n''t I have my own daughter in my own office because Fred Ryley is on the place?
13723Ca n''t I see clear?''
13723Ca n''t you see what I mean?''
13723Can one be blamed for that?''
13723Can you imagine the sense of it?''
13723Can you understand that, my girl?''
13723Coming over, did you say?
13723Did anything go wrong?''
13723Did n''t Miss Smithson tell you?
13723Did n''t you hear me call out to them?''
13723Did you think on to write about them new dog- biscuits, ma''am?''
13723Do n''t you think it''s strange?''
13723Do n''t you wish me to?''
13723Do you remember your great- uncle Ebenezer?
13723Do you suppose that two sensible persons like you and me are going to be beaten by a mere set of circumstances?
13723Do you take any exercise?''
13723Does he expect me not to be?''
13723Does n''t every one know that he''ll have gone smash before the night of the show?''
13723Does n''t she enjoy it?
13723Dost think as John''ll be stuck fast for six or seven hundred, or eight hundred?
13723Eh, Dain?''
13723Eh?''
13723Eh?''
13723Ethel cried hysterically,''why are you always so calm?
13723Had he not heard that?
13723Had n''t given me up, had you?
13723Had not John heard what Rose said to the doctor:''Mother must stay here''?
13723Had not the doctor said as much?
13723Have I turned o''er two pages at once?''
13723Have a choc?''
13723Have n''t I always told you as John would find himself in a rare fix one of these days?''
13723Have you seen Mr. Twemlow yet?''
13723Her makes a good corpse, eh?''
13723How d''ye do?
13723How d''ye do?''
13723How do you explain that?''
13723How is Mr. Myatt going on?''
13723How was Aunt Hannah?''
13723I felt as if Milly would go on asking and asking:"Is father dead?
13723I know that what you say is-- You will wait that long, wo n''t you?
13723I need n''t wait, need I?
13723I suppose you''re staying at the Five Towns Hotel?''
13723I''m not much of an intellect, outside crocks, you know, but there''s one thing I can do, I_ can_ see clear?...
13723I''ve just been told that a messenger came for Uncle Meshach a the interval to say that Aunt Hannah was ill. Do you know anything about it?''
13723If she persisted in going, might not he want to come with her?
13723If she remained, what conclusion could not be drawn?
13723In a fortnight I shall be in London with Milly.... Will you wait a fortnight?
13723In another moment the office was full of chatter and scent, and Milly had run impulsively to Ethel:''What_ has_ father given you to do?''
13723Is Bessie dead?
13723Is Bran dead?
13723Is Uncle Meshach dead?"
13723Is n''t it splendid?''
13723Is n''t she at home there?
13723Is n''t she built for it?
13723Is the beggar asleep?''
13723Is there anything different to that in New York?
13723It was her as first said that Fred was getting a nice young chap, and very respectable, and why should he be left out in the cold?
13723John''s affairs were perhaps running more smoothly, but who could tell?
13723Later on in the afternoon, before Mr. Twemlow comes.... Did you write and ask him to call at four thirty?''
13723London... perhaps....''Am I forty-- or fourteen?''
13723Mr. Myatt told me what he said to you----''''So Uncle Meshach has been talking about it too?''
13723Mr. Myatt,''he exclaimed with sudden gruffness,''do you suggest that John Stanway did n''t do my father right?''
13723Must he?''
13723Not cut it fine enough?''
13723Now is there anything I can do for you, ma''am?''
13723On the surface of her profound relief and joy there played like a flying fish the thought:''Was he meaning to call in any case?
13723Or can they do without cemeteries?''
13723Or was that pallor merely the effect on his face of raising the coloured candle- shade as he extinguished the candle?
13723Perhaps----''''Wo n''t you come and see us this afternoon, if you are n''t engaged?''
13723Shall I tell cook to get it now?''
13723She has n''t got much to learn, has she?''
13723She said:''Can one help falling in love?
13723She thought of other phrases, such as''Please go away,''and''Do you mind leaving me for a while?''
13723She was frightened by her own words, and added hastily, with the most seductive smile that her lips had ever- framed:''Do you mind?''
13723So how do you explain that?
13723So what do you think of that?''
13723So you reckon Mr. Twemlow''s a good dancer, eh?''
13723Some business?''
13723Stanway not come in yet, eh?''
13723Stanway?''
13723Suddenly he demanded of Leonora in a whisper:''Is he unconscious?''
13723Tell Mr. Myatt, will you?''
13723That you?''
13723That''s a bargain, eh?''
13723The girl added apprehensively:''Why?''
13723The season is now in full swing, is it not?''
13723The works is down at Shawport?''
13723This row that we''re having now has occurred thousands of times before, but this time it''s going to be settled with common sense, is n''t it?''
13723Twemlow,''said the girl, smiling her satisfaction,''excuse me asking, but are you married?''
13723Twemlow?''
13723Twemlow?''
13723Was he on his way here?''
13723Was it conceivable that he expected her to be willing to sell her house?...
13723Was it possible that Arthur Twemlow had suggested this change of plan to the girls?
13723Was n''t it dreadful, ma''am?
13723Was n''t that fair?''
13723Was this a coincidence, or had he been unable to control his desire to learn what she had done?
13723What about that?
13723What by that?
13723What could Leonora answer?
13723What could she do, what could any person do, when challenged by an individuality at once so harsh and so impassioned?
13723What do I care for New York, anyway?
13723What do you think?''
13723What have you been doing all the afternoon?''
13723What have you been doing to him all these months, Leonora?''
13723What on earth are you doing?
13723What romance have I had in my life?''
13723What should I go to bed for?
13723What then had she to do?
13723What then?''
13723What would all Hillport think secretly, and say openly behind the backs of the Stanways?
13723What would the other mothers think?
13723What''s Milly?
13723What''s become of Milly?''
13723What''s he doing loose?
13723What''s the matter with the stage anyhow?''
13723When shall you be free?''
13723Where is he?''
13723Where is the youth?''
13723Where''s Milly?''
13723Where''s Rose?''
13723Where''s father?''
13723Who could be profoundly moved by that unimportant, that trivial, demise?
13723Who could deny Fred the right to visit his great- aunt and his great- uncle, both rapidly ageing?
13723Who did he marry?''
13723Who told you?''
13723Why did he do that?
13723Why did n''t you write before?''
13723Why did not mankind rise up and put an end to this endless crucifixion of instinct which saddened the whole earth, and say gloriously,''Let us live''?
13723Why does Harry come here so often?''
13723Why had she not been able to keep femininely aloof from those puzzling and repellent matters, ignorant of them, innocent of them?
13723Why not make up your mind to it, and help her, and straighten things out for her?''
13723Why should circumstances fall out so that she could meet her unacknowledged lover openly at all seasons?
13723Why should fate treat Milly like a godchild?
13723Why should she have prettiness, and adorableness, and the lyric gift, and such abounding confident youth?
13723Why should they not return on the very day when Leonora and Milly were to go to London and keep house at Hillport during Leonora''s absence?
13723Why was it so?
13723Why?''
13723Why?''
13723Will you wait that long?
13723Would Arthur Twemlow, but for the accidental encounter on the Marsh, have passed by her home without calling?
13723Would n''t it?
13723Would n''t you?''
13723Would she return?
13723Yes,''he resumed,''maybe you do n''t remember old Knight''s sister as had that far house up at Hillport?
13723Yet what could she say?
13723Yet what would she not have given even to have felt herself able to disguise it?
13723You hurt it last night, did n''t you, after I''d gone?''
13723You would n''t mind, would you?''
13723You''ll be in London then to meet us?''
13723You''ve sent down to Miss Myatt, you say?
13723Your foot all right again, Nora?''
13723and she proceeded with her irrelevant inquiries:''who''s_ your_ father?
13723asked Stanway,''the trap?''
13723he broke forth,''how d''ye do?
13723he flamed out passionately to the impatient cob,''where''re your manners, you idiot?
13723he said,''how do you know?''
13723her says,"what''s amiss?"
13723she exclaimed,''what''s the matter?''
13723she said brightly, when the gas flared,''that''s better, is n''t it?
13723what do you mean?''
13723what do you think of that as a specimen of the worries which I keep to myself?''
35505''About me going with Suttons to the Isle of Man?''
35505''About what?''
35505''Afraid?''
35505''Agnes will be the little housekeeper, eh?''
35505''Agnes,''said Anna,''when will you learn to behave in the street?''
35505''All of it?''
35505''Am I tidy, Anna?''
35505''Am I, Anna?''
35505''Am''na I telling thee I think it''s all right?''
35505''And are you willing to be my partner?''
35505''And how does Bursley compare with Hanbridge?''
35505''And pays i''bills at three months, eh?''
35505''And so you were being pressed by creditors?''
35505''And suppose he says he ca n''t?''
35505''And what didst say?''
35505''And you are n''t afraid of catching it?''
35505''Anna, if I meet him down the road shall I tell him you''re ready waiting for him?''
35505''Anna, what art doing here?''
35505''Anyone else in the house?''
35505''Are n''t they very expensive?
35505''Are n''t you coming in, Bee?''
35505''Are you near the light, dear Anna?''
35505''Art going out?''
35505''Art''na going to pay th''cabby?''
35505''Asked ye to marry him, did he?''
35505''Believe what?''
35505''Business, I suppose?''
35505''But do n''t you make any really good pots-- are they all cheap?''
35505''But if it is Miss Anna''s money, why should not she be the partner?''
35505''But is n''t it dangerous for the workmen?''
35505''But really?''
35505''But what are you going to the prayer- meeting for?''
35505''But what has he come about, father?''
35505''But what''s the matter?
35505''But why wo n''t he preach here?
35505''But why?''
35505''But wo n''t you come into the parlour?''
35505''But you are n''t, I suppose?''
35505''But you will be in?''
35505''But----''( Would Christ have driven Titus Price into the bankruptcy court?)
35505''Ca n''t I give it to you?''
35505''Ca n''t we do something?''
35505''Ca n''t you sleep?''
35505''Can I return thanks, father?''
35505''Can you sell this?''
35505''Caught anything?''
35505''Cheque, I reckon?''
35505''Come into the office, will ye?''
35505''Come now, Mr. Tellwright,''she said again,''to the point: what will you give?''
35505''Could n''t they?''
35505''Could you be ready by that time?''
35505''Did I tell you that Henry Mynors will most likely come with us to the Isle of Man?''
35505''Did he kiss you, Anna?''
35505''Did n''t I tell you?''
35505''Did n''t you hear what I said to mother?''
35505''Did n''t you know?''
35505''Did she?''
35505''Did ye give him my message?''
35505''Did ye see him?''
35505''Did you know they were engaged once?''
35505''Did you think I should break it?''
35505''Did your father say anything about the Price affair?''
35505''Didst get anything out o''Price?''
35505''Do I?''
35505''Do n''t you adore chocolates?''
35505''Do n''t you believe in that sort of thing, then?''
35505''Do n''t you know?''
35505''Do wi''it?''
35505''Do you go to football matches, Agnes?''
35505''Do you know what Mr. Price is giving?''
35505''Do you know what they are saying, Anna?''
35505''Do you like it?''
35505''Do you make your own frocks?''
35505''Do you mean it''s mine, father?''
35505''Do you mean the revivalist, father?''
35505''Do you remember that day we went up to the park?''
35505''Do you sketch?''
35505''Do you swim?
35505''Do you want to see him?''
35505''Do you wish to draw anything out now?
35505''Does father know?''
35505''Does it matter?
35505''Does it not seem strange----?''
35505''Does it?''
35505''Does it?''
35505''Does your father know?''
35505''Eh, what''s that ye say?''
35505''For Price''s death?
35505''Forgotten something?''
35505''Going out, Sis?''
35505''Going out?
35505''Got one, father?''
35505''Had a good class this afternoon, Henry?''
35505''Had n''t you better see Mr. William, father?''
35505''Has Agnes got as far as practice?''
35505''Has Mr. Price paid?''
35505''Has Titus Price sent up?''
35505''Hast forgotten as that there coachman''s waiting?''
35505''Have I?''
35505''Have ye gotten''em?''
35505''Have you actually done all these?''
35505''Have you been here long?''
35505''Have you decided absolutely to paint?''
35505''Have you?''
35505''Have_ you_ heard?''
35505''Henry,''he said, without greeting anyone,''hast noticed those half- finished houses down the road yonder by the"Falcon"?
35505''How are you, my dear?
35505''How are you?''
35505''How can I tell?''
35505''How d''ye do, Mr. Mynors?
35505''How did you know, Agnes?''
35505''How did you like the sewing meeting?''
35505''How do you know?''
35505''How far are we off now?''
35505''How is it with you, dear Anna?''
35505''How is she?''
35505''How many did ye catch, Miss Tellwright?''
35505''How much does he owe?''
35505''How much will content ye?''
35505''How much will it cost to buy everything, do you think?''
35505''How much?''
35505''How much?''
35505''How should I know?
35505''How soon?''
35505''How''s that, pray?
35505''How?''
35505''I say, was n''t last night perfectly awful?
35505''I say,''Mynors began earnestly, after a pause,''why should n''t we get married soon, since the old gentleman seems rather to expect it?
35505''I suppose he wo n''t call before two?
35505''I suppose that''s business?''
35505''Is Hancock the commercial traveller?''
35505''Is he vexed?''
35505''Is it about the rent?''
35505''Is it well?''
35505''Is it?''
35505''Is n''t it disgraceful?''
35505''Is n''t that picturesque?''
35505''Is that your luggage?''
35505''Is the inquest going on in there?''
35505''Is this a sort of special meeting, then?''
35505''Is your father in?
35505''It''s a very big one, is n''t it?''
35505''It''s awfully queer, is n''t it?''
35505''It''s for Miss Tellwright-- that''s Anna, is n''t it?
35505''It''s thine, under thy grandfeyther''s will-- haven''t I told thee?
35505''It''s very funny how things get abroad, is n''t it?''
35505''Killed himself?''
35505''Let me see, now, what can we give her?''
35505''Let me see, this place belongs to you i''your own right, does n''t it, Miss?''
35505''Make him bankrupt, father?''
35505''May I trouble you for a little more beef?''
35505''May I try?''
35505''Must I go to Edward Street?''
35505''Must I go, father?''
35505''Must n''t I say good- night to him?''
35505''My love,''he replied with the stern fixity of a histrionic martyr,''did you ever know me have a free evening?''
35505''Never know?''
35505''No; why?''
35505''No?
35505''Not come out yet?''
35505''Not guess it?
35505''Now as to these business troubles-- what were they?''
35505''Now how much is a crate worth?''
35505''Now, do you deserve it?
35505''Now, how long are you two chatterboxes going to stay here?''
35505''Of course,''said Mynors,''you''ll stay on here, now?''
35505''Oh, Mr. Price,''she said foolishly,''whatever shall you do?''
35505''Oh, Mrs. Sutton,''Agnes protested, laughing,''how can you?
35505''Out, wast?''
35505''Perhaps,''he said at length,''perhaps-- excuse me saying this-- but you may be expecting too much----''''Well?''
35505''Rather a novelty, is n''t it?''
35505''See here,''said Mynors,''is n''t that pretty?''
35505''See that, Anna?
35505''Sent up?''
35505''Sha n''t you be all right with Agnes?''
35505''Shall I enter, my little dear?''
35505''Shall I keep''em for ye?''
35505''Shall I run and tell him you''ll go?''
35505''Shall we get quite out of sight of land?''
35505''Shall we go on to the top?''
35505''Shall you be married soon, Anna?''
35505''Shall you not be home early, Rex?''
35505''Shall you tell father yourself, now Henry has n''t come?''
35505''She will miss you, wo n''t she?''
35505''Sister Tellwright?''
35505''So Mr. Sutton has dealings with ye, eh?''
35505''So soon?''
35505''Suppose we go down to the jetty, and then along as far as the breakwater?''
35505''Suppose we go round and inspect things a bit?''
35505''Supposing ye sold owd Titus up?
35505''Surely you can stay over Sunday, Henry?''
35505''That?''
35505''The house?
35505''The landlord is a lady?''
35505''Then I am for be consulted, eh?''
35505''Then this bit o''paper''s worth nowt for welly[1] three months?''
35505''Then why could n''t you have gone to Port St. Mary, instead of breaking your fond father''s heart by a refusal?''
35505''Then why hast thou gotten secrets?
35505''Then you were watching?''
35505''Then, as regards the landlord, the pressure was less than it had been?''
35505''Thou''lt sign blind then, eh?
35505''Warm?''
35505''Was n''t it terrible about Titus Price?''
35505''Was the landlord pressing you, too?''
35505''Was_ he_ at the sewing meeting?''
35505''Wash?''
35505''Well, suppose you go with him, Anna, just to keep him from being bored?''
35505''Well, thou''s gotten thy own money, hast na''?''
35505''Well, why should n''t we fix February, then?''
35505''Well, young lady?''
35505''Well,''she laughed,''what will you give?''
35505''Well?''
35505''Well?''
35505''Well?''
35505''Were you a partner with your late father?''
35505''What am I to do with it?''
35505''What am I to say?
35505''What an we gotten here?''
35505''What an''you bin tiring yourself with this afternoon?''
35505''What are others giving?''
35505''What are you doing here, mademoiselle?''
35505''What are you doing i''this Revival, Anna?''
35505''What art doing here?''
35505''What business an''ye for go blabbing thy affairs all over Bosley?
35505''What day are we supposed to start?''
35505''What did Mr. Mynors say?''
35505''What did he say, Henry?''
35505''What do these young folks want holidays for?''
35505''What do you mean, father?''
35505''What do you mean?''
35505''What do you say, father?
35505''What do you want me to say?''
35505''What do you want to know?''
35505''What dost ask me for?
35505''What dost want wi''four bedrooms?
35505''What else could there be?''
35505''What for?
35505''What have I been doing?
35505''What is it all about, Anna?''
35505''What is it called, dear?''
35505''What is the message for Mr. Mynors, father?''
35505''What isna''there?''
35505''What must I do?''
35505''What will Willie Price do if the business is sold?''
35505''What will they ask for it?''
35505''What would you like?''
35505''What''s afoot now?''
35505''What''s it meant for?''
35505''What''s that light?''
35505''What''s the matter, Anna?''
35505''What-- Price''s do you mean?''
35505''What-- the bill?''
35505''What?
35505''What?''
35505''What?''
35505''Whatever do you mean?''
35505''When did you hear of that failure?''
35505''When dost think o''getting we d?
35505''When shall I call at the Bank, father?''
35505''When you are-- shall I keep house alone?
35505''Where do you feel your difficulty to be?''
35505''Where is it?''
35505''Where is this sum that wo n''t come right?''
35505''Where to?''
35505''Where''s Agnes?''
35505''Where''s Agnes?''
35505''Who can that be?''
35505''Who is it?''
35505''Who says?''
35505''Who''s that?''
35505''Who''s there?''
35505''Who-- father?''
35505''Who?''
35505''Whose property is it, mine or thine?''
35505''Whose property is it?''
35505''Why am I so?''
35505''Why did he call here like that?''
35505''Why did he do it?''
35505''Why have I never found it?''
35505''Why have n''t you got one?
35505''Why not February?''
35505''Why not to- morrow, as father wants me out of the house?''
35505''Why not?''
35505''Why not?''
35505''Why should Anna want to do it with care?''
35505''Why should not Agnes ride with us to the station?''
35505''Why wo n''t father give up the bill?''
35505''Why"queer"?''
35505''Why, does she have to see to the repairs of the minister''s house?''
35505''Why, my dear?''
35505''Why, what''s the matter, Agnes?''
35505''Will Willie Price manage it?''
35505''Will it be rough to- day?''
35505''Will that do?''
35505''Will that do?''
35505''Will you come and help with the bags and cups?''
35505''Will you come into the school- yard?''
35505''Will you give me my cheque- book out of the bureau?
35505''Will you ladies do that?''
35505''Will you put your things on the bed?''
35505''Will you wait one minute?''
35505''Will you, Miss Dickinson?
35505''Wo n''t a short walk do you good?''
35505''Wo n''t it come better from you, father?''
35505''Wo n''t it seem like turning them out if we happen to take it?''
35505''Wo n''t you take my muffler-- again?''
35505''Would you care for that arrangement, Miss Tellwright?''
35505''Yes, do n''t you put anything on it?''
35505''Yes, it was all settled rather late, was n''t it, dad?
35505''Yes?''
35505''You are sure there was nothing else?''
35505''You did?
35505''You do n''t feel queer, do you?''
35505''You do n''t know?
35505''You do n''t mean to say that you did n''t know that father is going to be mayor this year?''
35505''You enjoyed the meeting?''
35505''You have n''t a clinical thermometer?''
35505''You insist on another twenty pounds on Monday?''
35505''You know all about this business then, Miss Tellwright?''
35505''You know it is, Anna,''she frowned, and then breaking into a joyous anile:''But is n''t he nice?
35505''You like Henry, do n''t you, father?''
35505''You say it was probably business troubles that caused your late father to commit the rash act?''
35505''You see a good deal of him at your house, do n''t you?''
35505''You used to be a pillar of the Hanbridge circuit-- was it not so?''
35505''You wo n''t forget Friday?''
35505''You"think"?
35505''You''re busy?''
35505''You''re engaged, then?
35505''You''re making good money at any rate?''
35505''You''ve come about the works, I suppose?''
35505''You''ve gotten a tongue in that noddle of yours, have n''t ye?''
35505''Your big sister is n''t out of school yet?''
35505''Your father keeps the bill, does n''t he?
35505''Your father, your sister, in?''
35505''Your late father was a widower?''
35505A coat, a serge skirt, straw hats( how many?)
35505After a time he said:''Suppose Anna and I have a try?''
35505After he had carefully hung his best hat on the hat- rack, he turned towards her, and said, with a queer smile:''Ye''ve been day- dreaming, eh, Sis?''
35505And did you go into Beatrice Sutton''s bedroom?''
35505And me be left all afternoon by myself?''
35505And shall you leave the house all empty?
35505And the mayor- elect pretends not to care much, but actually he is filled with pride, is n''t he, dad?
35505And was the fact that father and son between them had committed a direct and flagrant crime to serve as an excuse for sympathising with the survivor?
35505And would Anna come out to the carriage and personally assure Mrs. Sutton that old Sarah should be attended to?
35505Anna noticed the amusement in his eyes when Agnes, reddening, said to him:''Will you have some more bread- and- butter, Henry?''
35505Anna read:--''My dear Miss Tellwright,--Now that our partnership is an accomplished fact, will you not come and look over the works?
35505Anna repeated idly; and then she remembered Mynors''phrase, on the hill,''Can you be ready by that time?''
35505Anna repeated; and added, with hesitation:''I suppose one will want some new clothes?''
35505Anna thought to herself:''Is this love- making?''
35505Anna, shall I have to call him Henry now?''
35505Any letters?''
35505Are you not deceiving yourself?
35505Are you seeing after the bags and things?
35505Are you sure?
35505Art fond, lass?
35505Art naked?''
35505As for the mayoress----?''
35505As she passed under the archway she heard a familiar voice:''I reckon I shall find young Mester Price in th''office?''
35505At last she stammered:''We''ve only known each other----''''Oh, dear,''he exclaimed masterfully,''what does that matter?
35505Aware that her father and sister had left her alone, did he mean to call?
35505Beatrice continued to chat about the holiday, and then of a sudden she asked:''What are you going to wear?''
35505But had they?
35505But he''s awfully nice; is n''t he, Anna?
35505But her father had to be reckoned with.......''How much do you think you can pay on Monday?''
35505But how was he to know that in misprizing Willie Price before her, he was misprizing a child to its mother?
35505But on whom could she rely?
35505But you were n''t at the window?''
35505By what trick had they crept into the very centre of that mass of femineity?
35505Can you see anything?''
35505Come into the kitchen-- do you mind?''
35505Could he feel the agitation of that hand?
35505Could she?
35505D''ye reckon ye''d get a tenant for them ramshackle works?
35505Did Beatrice, then, have blouses by the dozen?
35505Did n''t Mrs. Sutton tell you?
35505Did they have cakes or was it a plain tea?
35505Did you happen to go, Miss Tellwright?''
35505Did you know before?''
35505Did you see him go down this morning?''
35505Do come, will you?
35505Do n''t you think it''s better to please a thousand folks than to please ten?
35505Do n''t you?''
35505Do you believe it?''
35505Do you love him really-- truly?
35505Do you want to see him?''
35505Does father know you''re engaged?''
35505Does n''t it say-- Where_ two or three_ are gathered together...?
35505Dost think as he canna''make a fine guess what thou''rt worth?
35505Dost think he isna''marrying thee for thy brass?
35505Eh, Miss Terrick, what''s amiss?''
35505Eh?''
35505Father in?''
35505Had she closed the lid of the bureau?
35505Half an hour afterwards, he ejaculated:''What i''th''name o''fortune dost thee want wi''school- treats?''
35505Happily inspired for once, Willie made no answer, but put the question:''Will you take it?''
35505Has anything happened?''
35505Has he been nice?''
35505He''s been rather awkward lately, has n''t he?''
35505He''s not sent?''
35505Henry, of course-- I mean when he''d asked you?''
35505How came she to forget the bacon?
35505How can I tell whether Price sent up or not?
35505How could Titus help being himself any more than Henry Mynors could help being himself?
35505How do you do, brother Tellwright, and you, Miss Tellwright?
35505How do you like it?''
35505How have you managed with father?
35505How long art going to be away?''
35505How should she dispose of the ball?
35505How was he to know how she was?
35505How?''
35505I always find that best, do n''t you?
35505I do hope it will be fine weather again by then, do n''t you?''
35505I reckon it was for thatten as thou must go gadding off to seaside, eh?''
35505I-- did you happen to see Mr. Tellwright''s postscript to your letter?''
35505I----''''May I trouble you to step into the manager''s room?''
35505If Titus Price had killed himself, what of that?
35505If Willie Price was threatened with ruin, what of that?
35505If such was the condition of the master''s quarters, she thought, what must the workshops be like?
35505In what did conversion consist?
35505It was he that wrote that letter this morning, was n''t it?''
35505It''s something in your face, Anna---- Anna, will you be my wife?''
35505Mrs. Sutton bent down and whispered in Anna''s ear:''Her voice has been very well trained, has it not?''
35505Must n''t she, Agnes?''
35505Mynors,''said Agnes, still holding his hand, when they had been silent a moment,''when do those furnaces go out?''
35505Mynors?''
35505Mynors?''
35505Mynors?''
35505No one could be ill with this?''
35505No?
35505Not you?''
35505Now, what is it?
35505Now, will you come and have just a peep at my studio-- where I paint, you know?
35505Now?''
35505Oh, Anna, does it feel nice?
35505Or should she----?
35505Or was it an idle rumour, manufactured by one who spent her life in such creations?
35505Our little cornet- player quite lived up to his reputation, do n''t you think?''
35505Peace at the prayer- meeting?
35505Perhaps you will give Mrs. Sutton or myself the cheque to- day?''
35505Presently he asked:''Why did n''t you tell me about my father?
35505Price, what is it?''
35505Price?''
35505Price?''
35505Shall we send for a doctor?
35505She dried her eyes, and in quite a different tone of voice asked:''Has Mr. Mynors proposed to you?''
35505Should she arrive early, in which case she would have to talk more, or late, in which case there would be the ordeal of entering a crowded room?
35505Should she return to the parlour?
35505Suppose we said early in February?''
35505Surely that is rather singular?''
35505Tell him that, see?
35505Tellwright owns most of that, does n''t he?''
35505Tellwright?''
35505That wo n''t do at all, will it, Mr. Banks?
35505The jury seemed surprised, and the coroner wrote again:''What was your share in the business?''
35505Then the minister said in a tone of oily politeness:''Will a sister pray?''
35505Thou----''He paused, and then added, with furious scorn:''Shalt speak o''this to Henry Mynors?''
35505To whom could she turn?
35505Vernon?''
35505Was he, Ephraim Tellwright, and she, his daughter, to connive at a felony?
35505Was it more likely that Mynors or she, Anna, should be mistaken in Beatrice?
35505Was it to say the words,''I believe''?
35505Was there to be no prayer- meeting?
35505We saw the corpse just after.... Beatrice, will you hush?''
35505Were they to render themselves liable, even in theory, to a criminal prosecution?
35505What about Mr. Sutton-- in a sense the victim of this fraud?
35505What about him?
35505What are you going to do?''
35505What claim had he?
35505What clothes dost want?
35505What did he know?
35505What do you say?''
35505What do you think, Miss Big Sister?''
35505What does Anna say?''
35505What had those old eyes seen?
35505What next?''
35505What then?
35505What use is it to him?
35505What was belief?
35505What was faith?
35505What was she to do now?
35505What wash do you use?''
35505What were his inmost thoughts, his ideals, the histories of his heart?
35505What will father say?
35505What will you give?''
35505What would_ they_ ha''done without me?
35505What''s this carrying- on between thee and Will Price?
35505What, then, was lacking?
35505What?''
35505What?''
35505Whatever are you dreaming of?''
35505When shall you be married, Anna?''
35505When ye''ve gotten a roof of your own, where''s the sense o''going elsewhere and pigging?''
35505Where are you going to?''
35505Where is she?''
35505Where, indeed, was her religion?
35505Why did n''t she tell him she was going to the prayer- meeting?
35505Why did she go to the prayer- meeting, disarranging the whole household?
35505Why did she teach?
35505Why dost go sneaking about to see him-- sneaking, creeping, like any brazen moll?''
35505Why has Mr. Mynors come, Anna?''
35505Why not confess?
35505Why not?
35505Why should n''t we take it just as well as anybody else, if it suits us?''
35505Why was Anna so anxious to shield the forger?
35505Why was she allowed to have charge of a class of immortal souls?
35505Why was she to be included in the colloquy?
35505Will he build himself, or will he sell it?''
35505Will ye come in, Miss Tellwright?''
35505Will you give us the pleasure of your company?
35505Will you take that?
35505Will you, Miss Machin?
35505Will you, Miss Sutton?
35505Will you, Mrs. Salt?
35505Will you----''Until at last it came:''Will you, Miss Tellwright?''
35505William went on:''Can I see your father, Miss Tellwright?''
35505Would Agnes marry?
35505Would Anna mind going up to Toft End?
35505Would he have eaten it all, Agnes, do you think?''
35505Would her father allow it?
35505Would your father let you come with us?''
35505Ye are n''t ill, are ye?''
35505You buy the house- linen, do you?''
35505You can-- can''t you?''
35505You did n''t suppose I meant anything else, did you?''
35505You do n''t know where he is?''
35505You remember that bill of exchange as we gave you some weeks back towards rent?''
35505You will, wo n''t you?''
35505he exclaimed,''it''s Miss Tellwright, is it?
35505he murmured fondly;''that Sunday?
35505he repeated, and stood up and faced her, putting his lips together:''Do wi''it, did ye say?''
35505he said,''why not?
35505on five thousand pun?''
12995A blanket?
12995A first- class artiste, no doubt? 12995 A month?"
12995Accident?
12995Ada did n''t stay with you all the time?
12995Ada?
12995All right, this coffee, eh?
12995Am I all right for time?
12995Am I now?
12995And Myatt''s the captain, I suppose?
12995And are you really never without your revolver?
12995And before that, Uncle Peake?
12995And came back?
12995And can not a man quote in a sermon? 12995 And do they say Mr Loggerheads has accepted?"
12995And do you think there''s anything_ in_ that?
12995And dost mean to say as they thought as I''ud give''em a hundred pound towards th''new organ?
12995And have you handed it over?
12995And if it is n''t asking too much, where''s that china pig as used to be on the chimney- piece in th''kitchen there? 12995 And it''s always loaded?"
12995And th''babbies-- hast seen_ them_?
12995And then?
12995And thou''st been living here ever since-- alone, wi''Jane Sarah?
12995And what about the rent?
12995And what about the servants?
12995And what about you?
12995And what am I to do with ye?
12995And what are you going to say?
12995And what didst tell him, lad?
12995And what would you do to save her, brother?
12995And where are the others?
12995And who woke you up, eh?
12995And you want to come here and live?
12995Annoying?
12995Are n''t they in the Tiger?
12995Are n''t you going to put the pennies on his eyes, mum?
12995Are ye travelling by her?
12995Are you Mr Balsamo?
12995Are you a widow just now?
12995Are you ordering clothes for him to wear on his arrival?
12995Are you sure that nothing is the matter?
12995Are you sure? 12995 Ball cartridge?"
12995But do you mean to say you could n''t walk out of that door and go home?
12995But have n''t they seen each other since?
12995But how did you do it?
12995But how have you managed to attend the rehearsals of the new play?
12995But if he came back and caught us?
12995But may I ask if you have just picked up that coin?
12995But my work here?
12995But that business o''yours at Bursley?
12995But what are you to do?
12995But what guarantee have I?
12995But what have you been doing with him?
12995But what on earth are you doing here?
12995But what will uncle say? 12995 But when was this?"
12995But which shall I marry?
12995But why, uncle?
12995But why?
12995But why?
12995But-- but,asked Samuel,"what are you doing here?"
12995By the way, Loring, pass me my bag, will you? 12995 By the way,"she asked,"where''s the sun?"
12995Ca n''t I take it for a bit?
12995Ca n''t you see why?
12995Ca n''t you see?
12995Can you picture Henry in a Sackville Street suit?
12995Canst gi''us a lift?
12995Come and see the pigeons, eh?
12995Did Jean see her, or anyone?
12995Did n''t I say she was a lady?
12995Did n''t I say that Mr Copinger''s example would do it? 12995 Did n''t you hear anything?
12995Did n''t you know? 12995 Did you expect them to fall in love with each other on the spot and be engaged?
12995Did you wind it up last time?
12995Do I? 12995 Do come into the breakfast- room, will you?
12995Do n''t you know the Hanover Tea- rooms in Regent Street?
12995Do n''t_ you_?
12995Do they?
12995Do you know how much you''ve let me in for, with your wicked, disobedient temper?
12995Do you mean to say we shall see the sun rise?
12995Do you mean to say,George asked scornfully,"that your uncle reads a rag like that?
12995Do you really believe what that woman said?
12995Do you suppose you''re indispensable here? 12995 Do you think she suspects anything?"
12995Do you want to know everything?
12995Do you?
12995Do? 12995 Doctor gone?"
12995Ed,she asked, fixing her dark eyes upon him,"is anything the matter?"
12995Evens?
12995Everything?
12995Everything?
12995Exactly like a little woman, is n''t she?
12995Got what?
12995Had n''t he been blooming well begging and praying for it, aw afternoon? 12995 Hast got that half quid in thy pocket?"
12995Hast seen her?
12995Have I been content with_ that_?
12995Have n''t you any news for me?
12995Have you got it with you?
12995Have you got it?
12995Have you got your revolver, Alderman Keats?
12995Have you had any experience in taking teeth out?
12995How did I meet her? 12995 How did you meet her, uncle?"
12995How did you put it?
12995How do you know I was talking to anybody?
12995How do you know it is n''t true?
12995How do you know they will come? 12995 How do, Gale?"
12995How do, Jos?
12995How do, Tommy?
12995How do, uncle?
12995How is her?
12995How lately?
12995How many teeth have you extracted?
12995How much she gave me for taking her that there purse?
12995How much will it cost?
12995How''s this?
12995How?
12995I say, Mimi,he screeched in his insistent treble,"who_ was_ it you were talking to?"
12995I say,he said,"what''s up with that wheel?"
12995I say,said Richard,"what made you call?"
12995I suppose that Knype match is over by now?
12995I suppose these are your pots?
12995I suppose_ you_ did n''t put your finger against the pendulum of that clock?
12995I thought you said Mimi would be waiting for us?
12995If you are n''t too warm, wo n''t you come a little nearer the fire?
12995If you''ll lend it to the professor a minute or so?
12995In a bonnet- box, eh?
12995In the vane?
12995In this house?
12995Ingenious, is n''t it?
12995Is Goldie your cat?
12995Is Mr Herbert meaning to come to our house to- night? 12995 Is cook in her attic?"
12995Is he fair? 12995 Is her bad?"
12995Is it about the purse?
12995Is it loaded?
12995Is it thou, Jock?
12995Is my heart good?
12995Is n''t that encouraging her, as it were?
12995Is that the reason we see you so seldom at chapel?
12995Is that you, Alderman Keats?
12995Is that you, Cloud?
12995Is that you, mamma?
12995Is there anything interesting in the_ Signal_ to- night?
12995Is this the London train?
12995Is this the train for London?
12995Is your heart good?
12995It would n''t really matter if she_ did_ split on us, would it?
12995It''s decided then?
12995It''s really a pity--"That''s my affair, is n''t it?
12995Jane,she inquired,"are those potatoes ready?"
12995Just hang on to this pram a sec., will you?
12995Just help us in with this trunk, wilt?
12995Like to go?
12995Look here,said Mr Sandbach, taking no notice of this remark,"you see that man there?"
12995Maria,said she,"what are you doing?"
12995May I?
12995Mimi,he said, in a confidential tone,"can you keep a secret?"
12995Missis?
12995Mr Buchanan upstairs?
12995Mrs Clayton Vernon in?
12995Mrs Hopkins,Simeon asked,"you did n''t forget to call at the station last night?"
12995Nan,he said at length, rather deliberately,"have they been trying to come round you?
12995No?
12995Noise, sir?
12995Not Herbert Roden?
12995Not Jean?
12995Nothing?
12995Now what''ll ye have, mester?
12995Now?
12995Oh, has she?
12995On the roof in the vane?
12995Ought I?
12995Particularly in Brighton.... You never do, do you?
12995Perhaps the fair one has not yet come into your life? 12995 Perhaps you''d like to look over the place?"
12995Pigeons?
12995Potatoes, mum?
12995Potatoes? 12995 Potatoes?"
12995Put me out opposite Mrs Clayton Vernon''s, will you?
12995Put my hat straight, will you?
12995Ralph?
12995See whom?
12995Shall I go?
12995Shall I jump on the step? 12995 Shall I stay till he comes back?"
12995Shall you be in a carriage?
12995She takes the leading part in this play, does n''t she, according to the posters?
12995So that''s it?
12995So you did find it?
12995Some eau de Cologne?
12995Suppose I do? 12995 Suppose we spend our honeymoon here?"
12995Suspected what?
12995Tell her what?
12995That clock right?
12995That?
12995The Tiger?
12995The other morning?
12995Then do you think there''s anything wrong?
12995Then what_ are_ you doing here?
12995Then where shall you go?
12995Then why did you cut it off?
12995Then why does n''t he pick up his half- sovereign and hook it?
12995Then why the theatre, seeing that the theatre does n''t interest you?
12995They''re all right, I suppose?
12995Those yours?
12995Two on''em? 12995 Vexed with me?"
12995Was that the time when you were supposed to be at the Ratepayers''Association every night?
12995Well, if it is? 12995 Well, then, how do you explain it?"
12995Well, then,said she,"suppose I turn out the gas and we talk in the dark?"
12995Well, then?
12995Well, what about him?
12995Well, why did n''t you tell me?
12995Well, will you please tell her that Mr Chadwick-- Thomas Chadwick-- wants to speak to her?
12995Well,I said, feeling adventurous,"it''s a notion, is n''t it?"
12995Well,said Joe,"you do n''t mean to say you''re going about with that thing in your pocket, you?"
12995Well,said Mimi,"I do n''t think I''d better go any further, had I?"
12995Well,she said,"if you do n''t call this insisting, what do you call insisting?
12995Well?
12995Were them yer own words-- about cloud- capped towers and baseless fabrics and the like? 12995 What a lark, eh?"
12995What about Nellie Smith?
12995What about getting the confounded thing downstairs?
12995What about this organ?
12995What about?
12995What affair?
12995What are his wages?
12995What are those discs?
12995What are we to do?

12995What are you doing here?
12995What are you going to do?
12995What are you up to?
12995What are_ you_ doing here?
12995What did she tell you?
12995What did you say in the letter?
12995What do you mean, sister?
12995What do you mean? 12995 What do you mean?"
12995What do you say about this, Enoch?

12995What''s he gone out for? 12995 What''s that appalling noise that''s going on all the time?"
12995What''s that?
12995What''s that?
12995What''s the game?
12995What''s the meaning--?

12995Yes?
12995Yes?
12995You ca n''t make up your mind between them? 12995 You did?"
12995You have n''t told him, Enoch-- nor you, Nan?
12995You see these three teeth?
12995You wish to see him?
12995You wo n''t hurt me?
12995You''re a teetotaller too?
12995You?
12995You_ are_ Mr Cowlishaw?
12995Young man, what business is that of yours? 12995 Your name was mentioned at the trustees''meeting, was n''t it, Enoch?"
12995Your past?
12995_ Mais que veux- tu?_ One must live.
12995_ What_?
12995... Why not?
12995All I wish to know is, will you take it out or will you not?"
12995An accident, I suppose?"
12995And Nellie said,"Knock the balls about a bit?"
12995And a phrase constantly in their mouths was,"I''ll try that on Gale;"or,"I wonder whether Sandbach knows that?"
12995And as I told him the idea occurred to me for positively the first time:"By the way, I suppose you are n''t any relation of Octave Boissy?"
12995And could he hope not to fail with the first pull?
12995And had not the renowned Beaconsfield espoused a lady appreciably older than himself, and did not those espousals achieve the ideal of bliss?
12995And it seems like a week ago that he and his uncle-- you know all about that affair, of course?"
12995And now--""Now what?"
12995And on the fifth evening of this heaven he asked her:"What''n ye got left?"
12995And one of the little boys, glancing up, said, with roguish, imitative innocence, in his high, shrill voice:"Where the del you been?"
12995And secret discounts; can they go higher?
12995And she said aloud curtly:"Will you please tell Mr Gilbert Swann that someone wants to speak to him a minute at the door?"
12995And suppose there''s a colliers''strike-- as there''s bound to be sooner or later-- where shall we be then?"
12995And were n''t ye seen peeping through th''canvas last night?
12995And what was us betting about, Jos lad?
12995And when he spoke about going away I suddenly thought:''Why not try to make a new start with him?''
12995And while he was drying her eyes for her, she asked:"How far are ye going?
12995And yer soul, as is mine to save?"
12995Anything special?"
12995Are you deaf_?"
12995Art struck?"
12995As Thomas Chadwick made no reply, Paul Ford continued:"How much did she give you-- the perfect lady, I mean?"
12995Asleep, is he?"
12995Axe?"
12995Besides, he never has forgot, has he?
12995Besides, why keep anything whatever from Olive, even for a day?
12995Buchanan went to the telephone and replied into it:"Yes?
12995But as it is, there''s a sort of hope of a sort of happiness, is n''t there?"
12995But do you suppose that the frequency of pretty women in Hanbridge, Bursley, Knype, Longshaw and Turnhill makes them any the less remarked?
12995But in that case, where had they slept the previous night?
12995But what about me?
12995But where didst find th''money?"
12995But where''s the sense of a lone woman wandering about dark roads of a night wi''a pack of childer?...
12995Ca n''t you do something for my head?
12995Ca n''t you hear it?"
12995Can I act, I ask ye?
12995Can I be of service to you?"
12995Can I fight, I ask ye?
12995Can ye do without me, I ask ye, you a lone woman?
12995Consequently my ever- youthful schoolmaster said to me:"Good- looking woman that, eh, boy?
12995Could they not understand, would they never understand, that they were grotesquely deceived?
12995Did n''t you know?"
12995Did you know you have a rival?"
12995Do I know my pocket?"
12995Do n''t you remember last year at the Town Hall?"
12995Do n''t you remember that it was engineering, above all else, that attracted me?
12995Do n''t you think he''s handsome?
12995Do n''t you think it''s the best plan, John?"
12995Do you hear the ting of my bell?
12995Do you know what I did?
12995Do you realize, my girl, that we shall be absolutely up a gum- tree?"
12995Do you suppose I should have imagined for a moment that it would interest you if there had n''t been a girl in it?
12995Do you suppose the Five Towns ca n''t manage without you?
12995Do you want to know anything?"
12995Do_ you_ see Dick a married man?
12995Does he mean it?"
12995Dost remember when th''Carl Rosa Opera Company was at Theatre Royal last year?
12995Dost think her''s a fool?
12995Dost want for skin me alive?
12995Everybody talked of it for weeks.... And no one ever told you that we were in it?
12995Had anything to eat?"
12995Had he acted wisely?
12995Had he?
12995Had n''t he now?"
12995Hadst gotten four hundred pounds i''thy pocket, then?"
12995Have they told you about the new organ?
12995Have you been on it, Mr Coe?"
12995Have you ever been in a fire?...
12995He found it entirely delicious that she should say, when called upon to admire Nature:"Who''s going to make that trunk lock?"
12995He has such nice curly hair, and his eyes-- haven''t you noticed his eyes?
12995He made a miss and then he said:"Will someone kindly take me out and bury me?"
12995He nodded as if to say disdainfully in response to such a needless question:"Do I know the house?
12995He said:"Well, auntie, did you have a pretty good night?"
12995He said:"What is the reason?"
12995Her''s smashed it, eh?"
12995How could they suggest that he should pay?
12995How could you expect him to be romantic?)
12995How did this come about?
12995How do I know how I stand?
12995How do you do, Mrs Swann?"
12995How else should they have behaved?
12995How goes it?"
12995However, after this morning''s scene--"Scene?
12995I instinctively thought:"If such are the symptoms of pleasure, what must be the symptoms of pain or disappointment?"
12995I say"sadness,"which is the inevitable and sole effect of these eternal and banal questions,"Whence?
12995I suggested we should all stay at Hawthornden''s... Hawthornden''s?
12995I''d gathered from Harry that they were quite my sort.... What_ is_ my sort?
12995II A girl, you say?
12995II"Then you think that after starting she thought better of it?"
12995III Do you actually mean to sit there and tell me you never heard about the fire at Hawthornden''s Hotel last July?
12995If he is bedridden, what then?
12995If there''s plays agen drink, why shouldna''there be plays agen the devil, and_ for_ Jesus Christ, our Blessed Redeemer?"
12995Is all this true?"
12995Is it not so?"
12995Is n''t he a grand fellow?"
12995Is n''t he?"
12995Is n''t it amusing?
12995Is n''t that a warning?
12995Is that she?"
12995Is there no hope for salvation in it?"
12995Is there no virtue in it?
12995Is there one of them that knows whether he''s making money or losing it?
12995It was as if they were both saying:"Who cares?"
12995It was precisely as if he had said:"Do you think that anybody but a born ass would_ not_ be a teetotaller, in my position?"
12995It''s so much_ nicer_, is n''t it?"
12995Look at prices; can they go lower?
12995Mr Cowlishaw sympathized, and he said again, pointing more firmly to the chair of chairs,"Will you sit down?"
12995Mr Ullman, will you be so very good as to come upstairs and investigate?"
12995Must he or must he not abandon Simeon and the trunk?
12995Myatt?
12995Need it be said that Douglas was their destination?
12995Never heard that afore, sir?
12995Not more than-- how many years?
12995Nothing, is it, Mr Sneyd?
12995Now, who do you think has given another fifty?
12995On the second night she counted the money in her bag, and said to William Henry:"How much money do you think we''ve spent already?
12995Once Mrs Garlick, before what she called her dinner, asked Maria,"Will there be enough mutton for to- morrow?"
12995Or have you had the beautiful idea of taking him over to Axe to pass a pleasant Saturday afternoon with your esteemed grandmother?"
12995Or was it unfortunately?
12995Outside yourself, and Lovatt, and one or two more, is there a single manufacturer in Bursley that knows how he stands?
12995People do n''t say these things, not even hysterical wives to impeccable husbands, eh?
12995Perceiving this, he continued intimately:"Surely you know of my admiration for Blanche Lemonnier?"
12995See?"
12995See?"
12995Shall I take your overcoat?"
12995She employed it now on Mrs Swann, as who should say,"Who is this insignificant and scarcely visible creature that has got into my noble hall?"
12995She whispered:"Is that you, Mary?"
12995Simon Loggerheads strolled vaguely and self- consciously up to the fireplace, murmuring:"So he''s gone out?"
12995So curious, is n''t it?
12995So that''s it, is it?"
12995So the young man commenced the conversation in the usual way:"How do, Tommy?"
12995So thou''st taken possession o''my house?"
12995Some folks say that your brother-- er-- began--""And do you believe that?"
12995Suddenly and savagely the old man turned on the boy:"What the hades are you waiting there for?"
12995Suppose I try?
12995THE HEROISM OF THOMAS CHADWICK I"Have you heard about Tommy Chadwick?"
12995That man has actually tried to bribe me to influence you in his favour?"
12995The palmistry man?"
12995Then Ellis said, in his patronizing way:"Suppose we go and knock the balls about a bit?"
12995Then he said in a lower tone:"How''s missis, like?"
12995Then he said:"Would you mind letting me look at the right- hand breast- pocket of that jacket?"
12995Then she glanced effulgently at Carl and said,"When I think that you risked your precious life, in that awful storm, to save my poor Goldie?...
12995They gazed fixedly for a long time, and then one said, only his lips moving:"Has Tommy stood thee that there quart o''beer as he promised thee?"
12995Three and fourpences might be picked up in the street, eh?
12995Was it likely that she should sleep, with the tragedy and woe of the entire universe crushing her?
12995We could n''t stay, seeing the state we were in.... Now, do n''t you think it''s a very curious story?
12995Weep-- because nature had ejected me from that petty little world, with its ridiculous and conceited wrongness?
12995Well, auntie, who''s the ninth subscriber?"
12995Well, will you come?
12995Were n''t ye seen talking by the hour to one o''them trulls, Friday night--?
12995Were ye at the match?"
12995What Mr Gale said was:"Do n''t you think that in fairness that half- sovereign belongs to me?"
12995What could be worse than to be caught red- handed in a surreptitious honeymoon?
12995What do you suppose people will say?"
12995What do you think of that?
12995What else could I do?
12995What good would it have done?"
12995What had romance to do with age?
12995What if you did act a lie to her this afternoon?
12995What manner of bonds?
12995What mean''st tha'', lad?"
12995What on earth was George Peel doing in Bursley with that baby?
12995What on earth will he do?"
12995What right had they to go offering their hundred pound apiece to your organ fund?"
12995What scene?
12995What the dev--?
12995What would Mrs Clayton Vernon think of hot potatoes in a muff?
12995What''s a dentist for?
12995What''s a hundred pound to you?
12995What''s he driving at?"
12995What''s the good of a revolver if it is n''t loaded?"
12995What?
12995What?...
12995When I tell you I could n''t go with Mr Clowes to the match--""Will you take this seat?"
12995When Mr Gale read in a facetious paper an article on the lack of accurate observation in the average man, entitled,"Do''bus horses wear blinkers?"
12995Whence?
12995Where did you pick up that affair, Miss Smith?"
12995Where do you come in?"
12995Where the devil have you been?"
12995Where was the baby''s mother?
12995Where was their luggage?
12995Where, I ask you, where--?"
12995Where?"
12995Which on''em come first, th''lad or th''wench?"
12995Which one do you prefer?"
12995While Jos was dispensing the gin, Charlie said, in a low tone:"Well, what luck, Jos?"
12995Whither?"
12995Whither?...
12995Who that has ever been on a real honeymoon can look back upon the adventure and faithfully say that it was an unmixed ecstasy of joy?
12995Who''d ha''thought it?
12995Why had he not announced his arrival?
12995Why had he not looked at the clock before?
12995Why not you?"
12995Why should I give all that sum?"
12995Why should they ask me?
12995Why should they come to me?
12995Why?
12995Would they not deduce family quarrels, feuds, scandals?
12995Ye see?
12995Yet what could he do with those hard pincers pinching his soft, yielding heart, and that terrible anvil pressing on his stomach?
12995Yet why?
12995You do n''t expect me to leave him, do you?
12995You must have guessed how dear he was to me?...
12995Your eldest daughter has two little boys, has n''t she?"
12995_ Mais que veux- tu?...
12995_ Mais que veux- tu?_ I have a suite in the hotel and my own servants.
12995his opening remark to Mr Sandbach at their next meeting was:"I say, Sandbach, do''bus horses wear blinkers?
12995she said to the conductor, and added,"you know the house?"
12912''By the way, I was forgetting''--couldn''t I have told her better than that? 12912 A fire?"
12912A lawyer?
12912A telegram, ma''am, I suppose it was?
12912All of it?
12912Am I to stand here all day?
12912And I suppose you explained to her that I had the idea all out of my own little head?
12912And could_ you_ see on to the top of the cupboard from a chair?
12912And did he take it?
12912And do you?... 12912 And does your cooking?"
12912And how are_ you_?
12912And if it''s so safe why is he ready to give you so much interest?
12912And of course that was the cause of her attack?
12912And so there''s soda in the water?
12912And what about you? 12912 And what am I to do?
12912And what is it to be to- night, Miss Fleckring? 12912 And what next?"
12912And what''s Julian got to say for himself?
12912And when you found it open, miss,pursued Thomas Batchgrew,"what did ye do?"
12912And why did n''t he let anybody know of his return?
12912And why did you come up here?
12912And why not? 12912 And why were you at the''Three Tuns''?"
12912Any law against sitting down?
12912Anybody here?
12912Are n''t you going to sit down?
12912Are we married?
12912Are you a friend of Mester Maldon''s?
12912Are you dangerous?
12912Are you in pain?
12912Are you stark, staring mad?
12912Are you there?
12912Are you up?
12912Auntie ill?
12912Auntie still on the up- grade?
12912Began as a thief?
12912But I_ should_ like to know whether the scullery door was open or not, when you came downstairs that night?
12912But are n''t you going to try one of the new ones?
12912But are n''t you sorry for him?
12912But are you sure, doctor?
12912But did n''t they take you to a chemist''s? 12912 But do n''t you understand I''ve got to go out?"
12912But do n''t you_ see_, dearest?
12912But does n''t it_ hurt_?
12912But how far were they off you?
12912But how long--?
12912But if her''s asleep?
12912But suppose a policeman comes?
12912But was it the tram- car you ran into?
12912But was n''t it understood that we were to go to the Old Church?
12912But what can he mean?
12912But what does he mean?
12912But what is it? 12912 But what''s the matter?"
12912But when shall you go?
12912But when?
12912But why do you say a thing like that? 12912 But why?"
12912But will anybody really come?
12912But will they let you come in again without paying?
12912But you do n''t mean to tell us you meant-- to appropriate them, Julian? 12912 By the way, Mrs. Tams,"she began again,"did you happen to tell Mr. Fores where I''d gone this afternoon?...
12912By the way, has Mr. Gibbs come yet?
12912Ca n''t ye understand plain English? 12912 Ca n''t you do anything?"
12912Ca n''t you see,Rachel charged again,"that Mr. Batchgrew has only been flattering you all this time so as to get hold of your money?
12912Calls you Louise, does he?
12912Can I give yer his new address? 12912 Can I see on to the top of the cupboard or ca n''t I?"
12912Can ye hear, begging yer pardon?
12912Can you afford to neglect such advice in future?
12912Can you give me his new address?
12912D''you feel pretty well?
12912D''you know I''m her trustee, miss? 12912 Did he ask you?"
12912Did he or did he not come upstairs after ye''d been upstairs yourself?
12912Did n''t I mention it?
12912Did n''t I tell you I did n''t mind? 12912 Did n''t I?
12912Did n''t he ask how Mrs. Maldon is?
12912Did n''t you sleep well?
12912Did n''t you think Mr. Batchgrew looked very_ queer_ when you mentioned Julian to- night?
12912Did she say that to you?
12912Did they waken you?
12912Did ye tell her ye had n''t found her money?
12912Did you want your boxes, sir?
12912Did_ you_ hear anything of''em?
12912Do n''t ye?
12912Do n''t you think it''s a shame?
12912Do you feel better?
12912Do you know what I''m going to do this very day as ever is?
12912Do you know what a debenture is, my child?
12912Do you mean to say you did n''t know that water, especially warm water with soda in it, loosens the handles?
12912Do you think so?
12912Do you think so?... 12912 Do?
12912Doctor''s coming in again to- night, is n''t he?
12912Eh, mester, what ever''s amiss?
12912Enid? 12912 Found it?"
12912Funny, is n''t it?
12912Has Louis Fores been here?
12912Has Louis decided about them debentures?
12912Has Louis sent ye?
12912Has Mr. Batchgrew been here yet?
12912Has he really gone?
12912Has she been out? 12912 Hast told her anything of this?"
12912Have I?
12912Have they caught them, then? 12912 Have ye left her by herself?"
12912Have you been confirmed?
12912Have you forgotten it, then?
12912Have you managed it so soon?
12912He''s not marked for life, is he?
12912Heard about my accident, I suppose?
12912How can you be involved? 12912 How can you imagine such things?"
12912How is she now?
12912How should I know what he was doing there? 12912 How-- all there?"
12912Hurt?
12912I believe he is, but you could n''t get up to Hillport in less than half an hour, could you?
12912I feel I''m responsible for Rachel, and-- What ought I to do about it?
12912I suppose everything''s all right, doctor?
12912I suppose he''ll be back to- night, ma''am?
12912If you had n''t said anything--"Oh, but do you know what she said to me upstairs?
12912In her room?
12912Insulted you? 12912 Is Julian back?"
12912Is auntie well enough for me to see her?
12912Is it about that money?
12912Is it all right?
12912Is it business?
12912Is it?
12912Is it?
12912Is it?
12912Is n''t it awful?
12912Is n''t it dangerous?
12912Is n''t she good enough for a nephew o''yours?
12912Is she asleep?
12912Is she better?
12912Is that Louis going?
12912Is there any change?
12912Is this the first house of call?
12912It is rather a lot, is n''t it?
12912It''s not Julian, is it?
12912Julian back? 12912 Just go in to Mrs. Fores, will you?
12912Lock in order?
12912Louise''s?
12912May I come in?
12912May I come?
12912Mr. Gibbs, sir?
12912Must you?
12912No?
12912Not so serious as all that, is it?
12912Nothing else for it, is there? 12912 Nothing serious up with the old lady, is there?"
12912Now,he said grimly,"what''s your secret?
12912Oh yes, she''s better,said Rachel, not moving from the sofa;"but have you heard what''s happened?"
12912Old Batch been again?
12912Propitious moment for getting a monopoly of door- knobs at the Cape, I suppose?
12912Rachel? 12912 Rachel?
12912Ready?
12912Really?
12912Sha n''t you be late at the works?
12912Sha n''t you take cold without anything on your head in this wind?
12912Shall I fetch missis, sir?
12912Shall I have to be?
12912Shall I, miss?
12912Shall I?
12912Shall you?
12912Slipped over something?
12912So that''s it, is it?
12912Straight?
12912Sunday, sir?
12912Suppose we go to Llandudno on Saturday for the week- end?
12912Supposing I catch you one?
12912Supposing I was to take them over to him myself-- and insist?
12912Sure there''s nothing else?
12912That do?
12912The secret? 12912 Then there''s no danger?"
12912Then what about church?
12912Then what about that burglary last night down the Lane?
12912Then what--?
12912Then who was it came in before?
12912Then why did n''t he come straight here? 12912 Then you''ll call in the morning?"
12912They? 12912 This morning, do you mean, dear?"
12912To South Africa?
12912Was it far, ma''am, as he had for to go?
12912Was it you we saw going down Moorthorne Road to- night?
12912Was there a burglary down the Lane last night? 12912 Was this just after I left?"
12912We agreed I should, last week-- you yourself said so-- don''t you remember?
12912Well, then, how could it have been opened from the outside? 12912 Well, what d''ye suppose he left the bank for?"
12912Well, when they''d once opened the door from the outside, could n''t they have put the key on the inside again?
12912Well, why did n''t you come in then?
12912Well,she suggested,"will you lie down on the bed for a bit?"
12912Well?
12912What about the scullery door?
12912What am I to do?
12912What brought ye up here?
12912What d''ye mean?
12912What d''ye suppose we were talking about?
12912What did Mrs. Maldon say?
12912What did he say?
12912What did he tell you?
12912What did she say?
12912What does it matter whether he is or not? 12912 What for?"
12912What for?
12912What friend? 12912 What have you done with that money?"
12912What in thunder should I go to bed for, I should like to know? 12912 What is it?"
12912What is it?
12912What is it?
12912What is the matter, dear?
12912What makes you say that?
12912What money?
12912What money?
12912What then? 12912 What things did he say?"
12912What time?
12912What were you talking about downstairs to those two?
12912What window?
12912What''s come over the kid?
12912What''s he done with the money?
12912What''s on one of the sliding trays?
12912What''s the matter?
12912What''s the use of income being doubled if you lose the capital?
12912What''s this?
12912What''s up?
12912What''s up?
12912What? 12912 What?
12912What?
12912What?
12912What?
12912What?
12912What?
12912When I woke up the first time in the night, it struck me like a flash: Had I taken the serviette and ring up with the notes? 12912 When?"
12912When?... 12912 Where are ye going?"
12912Where did your brother practise?
12912Where do you sail from?
12912Where else should it be?
12912Where was the key?
12912Where''s missis?
12912Where?
12912Which doctor?
12912Who is there, dear?
12912Who says I''m off to America?
12912Who was it looked after you?
12912Who''d have thought of seeing you?
12912Who''s below?
12912Who''s that?
12912Who''s there?
12912Why can not I jump up and fall on his neck?
12912Why did n''t you ask me to do that?
12912Why did you keep supper for me?
12912Why did you take it to Julian?
12912Why do n''t ye have the police told?
12912Why do n''t you wash the handles of the knives?
12912Why ever did you tell me? 12912 Why not?"
12912Why ought I to have been listening out for them?
12912Why should I go to America?
12912Why should you bother about that now?
12912Why was she so keen about having one of us to sleep here to- night?
12912Why? 12912 Why?"
12912Why?
12912Why?
12912Will mester be down for tea, ma''am?
12912Will you ask Dr. Yardley to come at once?
12912Will you have some of your Revalenta? 12912 Will you please come and speak to Mrs. Maldon?
12912Wo n''t you take off your overcoat?
12912Would n''t care to look in here, I suppose, would you?
12912Would you mind very much if I just slip over and get it, before he shuts? 12912 Yes, dear?"
12912Yes?
12912Yes?
12912You are n''t ill, are you, auntie?
12912You know Park Road, I suppose?
12912You mean about the revolver-- in the sitting- room?
12912You mean that''Garden of the Hesperides''affair for up here, do you?
12912You think so?
12912You''ll come at once?
12912You''re better?
12912Your bedtime, I suppose?
12912Your brother, eh?
12912A likely thing burglars coming at twelve o''clock at night, is n''t it?
12912After all, was it not natural?
12912All of it?
12912Also--''""But surely, Julian,"Louis interrupted him, in a constrained voice,"you could have reached the picture without standing on the chair?"
12912Am I to tell him as I''ve lost it?...
12912An attack of what?
12912And Rachel asked herself, almost shaking--"Is it possible that he is such a simpleton?"
12912And Rachel immediately said, with her back to him--"Have you really got a revolver, or were you teasing-- just now in the parlour?"
12912And as he poked among the coals he said, in the way of amiable conversation--"How''s South Africa?"
12912And did those other men really admire her?
12912And further, could it be the actual fact, as he had been wildly guessing only a few minutes earlier, that his aunt had at last missed the notes?
12912And how could the admiration of three men other than her husband( so enheartening a few minutes earlier) serve her in the crisis?
12912And how soon was that after ye''d been upstairs with the notes?"
12912And if one part of her evidence was true, why should not the other part be true?
12912And in fact was it not his duty to come?
12912And she repeated,"South Africa?"
12912And suppose I wo n''t let ye pay up?
12912And supposing I was to begin to talk about illicit commissions?"
12912And was n''t it just like him to begin again harping on the electricity?>""Flattering me?"
12912And was n''t it just like him to begin again harping on the electricity?>""Flattering me?"
12912And was not this, too, highly proper?
12912And was she not an independent woman, earning her own living?
12912And what shalt say?"
12912And what was seventy odd pounds, after all?
12912And yet what had in fact occurred?
12912Anything else?"
12912Apparently charging Mrs. Tarns with responsibility for the illness, Mr. Batchgrew demanded severely--"What was it?"
12912Are they as high as the top of the cupboard, or are n''t they?"
12912Are you ready?"
12912As for his commonsense, was not her burning of the circular addressed to Mrs. Maldon a sufficient commentary on it?
12912As for the cinema, who could object to the cinema?
12912At length Mr. Batchgrew asked, staring through the window--"Did ye notice the dust on top o''that cupboard?
12912At the next,"And supposing it was Julian-- what of it?"
12912Batchgrew?"
12912Batchgrew?"
12912Batchgrew?"
12912Be rather a lark, would n''t it?"
12912Besides, was he not wholly to blame?
12912Besides, what affair was it of hers, anyway?
12912Besides--""Besides what?
12912Between Rachel and me?"
12912But had she shown any gratitude?
12912But seeing as it is n''t, and_ as_ we''re talking about it, what time was the rumpus last night?"
12912But shall I have strength to open the door to him?"
12912But she thought with defiance:"Why should I take my pinafore off for him?
12912But supposing her passion for him was destroyed?
12912But this time she put herself right by adding,"Shall we, Louis?"
12912But was it a trifle?
12912But was it not even more glorious to be a girl and the object of his princely care?...
12912But was it only a swoon?
12912But was it possible that she heard also the creak of the gate?
12912But we were quite counting on having a man in the house to- night-- with all these burglars about-- weren''t we, Rachel?"
12912But what more natural?
12912But what was I to do?
12912But when the brief fury of longing was exhausted she would ask:"How can I get hold of him?
12912But why should I?
12912But with her self- conscious eyes Mrs. Tams said to the self- conscious eyes of Rachel,"What a staggering world we live in, do n''t we?"
12912But with what kind of fact could Julian be acquainted?...
12912But, after all, what was a pound a week, viewed in a proper perspective?...
12912By the way, take a seat, will you?"
12912Ca n''t you hear anything?"
12912Could Louis be as foolishly fond of her as he seemed?
12912Could he aim it at a human being?...
12912Could he tell her now as she lay in her bed?
12912Could it be that it was this discovery which had upset her and brought on an attack?...
12912Could it be true that her courtship had lasted only two days-- or at most, three?
12912Could it be true that she had resided with Mrs. Maldon only for a month?
12912Could so much, indeed, happen in two days?
12912Did he expect me to smile and kiss him after he''d told me he was a thief?"
12912Did n''t I tell you this morning?
12912Did n''t you hear me call and call to you?"
12912Did you fasten the window on the upstairs landing?"
12912Did you give him half or all of it?"
12912Did you hear her, then?"
12912Did you know him?"
12912Do n''t you remember?
12912Do n''t you think he''ll keep them?"
12912Do n''t you think it''s a shame?"
12912Do n''t you think it''s a shame?"
12912Do n''t you think so?"
12912Do you suppose I''m doing this for fun?"
12912Do you take me for a bally mountebank?
12912Do you think I do n''t know you?
12912Do you want me to leave the house altogether?"
12912Extradition-- was there such a word, and such a thing?
12912Fores?"
12912Fores?"
12912Had Julian been dishonest?
12912Had Rachael perchance forgotten them?
12912Had he not the right to buy linen when and how he chose?
12912Had his aunt wakened up, and felt a misgiving about the notes, and found that they were not where they ought to be?
12912Had it been planned in the kitchen between those two?
12912Had she herself all the time suspected Louis?
12912Had she not long since reconciled herself to the prospect of an everlasting vigil?
12912Had she the courage to begin the interminable weary process afresh?
12912Had the serviette and ring ever been on the table at all?
12912Happen ye know him?"
12912Has any one carried it upstairs?
12912Has he forgotten it''s Saturday morning?"
12912Have n''t I told ye and told ye?
12912He answered weakly, charmingly--"Did I?"
12912He did not even ask,"Do you wish a room, sir?"
12912He said severely--"What''s a burglary down the Lane got to with us and this here money?"
12912He thought--"What is she saying?
12912He''s not coming for supper, I hope?"
12912He_ might_ have died, and where would Rachel have been then?...
12912Heath''s voice grew more and more confidential and at length, after a brief pause, he whispered--"Ye''re not married, are ye, sir?
12912Horrocleave growled:"Oh, so ye''ll pay up, will ye?
12912Horrocleave?"
12912How are things to- night?"
12912How can they expect even to be clean?
12912How can they expect to be well?
12912How can you imagine such things?"
12912How could she be truly old when she could see, hear, walk a mile without stopping, eat anything whatever, and dress herself unaided?
12912How could she dare to be happy in that house where Mrs. Maldon had died, in that house which was so intimately Mrs. Maldon''s?
12912How could she refuse the offer?
12912How could there be burglars in the house?
12912How did Mr. Horrocleave know that Louis was sufficiently recovered to be able to go to the works at all?
12912How did you explain things?"
12912How is dear Enid?"
12912How, for instance, could Thomas Batchgrew admire her, seeing that he had suspected her of lies and concealment about the robbery?
12912How, then, could he personally be threatened?
12912How?
12912I am an independent woman, earning my own living, and why should I be ashamed of my pinafore?
12912I ca n''t help being in the house, can I?
12912I could n''t hardly say no, could I?
12912I say-- get me some water, will you?
12912I was for going out, sir, but I''ll stop in, sir, and willing--""What time are you supposed to go out?"
12912III"I suppose the old lady was getting anxious?"
12912IV Rachel went on--"You are n''t really going to throw your money away on those debenture things of Mr. Batchgrew''s, are you?"
12912If I''d had it, what do you suppose I''ve done with it?...
12912If he comes in while I am over at Faulkner''s just tell him, will you?
12912If he fancied he was dying, can I help it?"
12912If it became reality, what use, then, his obedience to the new ideal?
12912If she was not to co- operate with the old lady''s sole relative in Bursley, with whom was she to co- operate?
12912If you did n''t know the whole story a week ago, is it my fault?
12912In a peculiar tone Louis replied--"Looks like him, does n''t it?"
12912In mistake for what?
12912In the light of these facts did not Mrs. Maldon''s gift indeed shine as a great and noble act of surrender?
12912Is he coming?"
12912Is he late too?"
12912Is it anything special?"
12912Is it being in this draught?"
12912Is it something fresh about the money?"
12912Is n''t it a very low public- house?
12912Is n''t one enough?"
12912Is n''t there a chemist''s handy?"
12912Is there a bathroom?"
12912Is this the first time she''s got excited about it?"
12912Just clear up that washstand, will you?"
12912Look out for ructions, eh?
12912Louis asked brusquely, as one who had no time to waste,"Will Faulkner''s be open?"
12912Louis asked, sharply--"Why, if you do n''t care for it?
12912Louis asked--"Well, what should_ you_ say he means?"
12912Louis inquired--"How do you know he''ll be here early?"
12912Louis naturally inquired,"Who was that?"
12912Maldon?"
12912Maldon?"
12912Maldon?"
12912Maldon?"
12912Maldon?"
12912Missis is in, I reckon?"
12912Mr. Batchgrew threw a curt and suspicious question--"What man?"
12912Mr. Fores was asleep, and I had to do something, so I thought--""Has he had a good night, ma''am?"
12912Mrs. Heath called out in severe accents which were a reproof and a warning:"Got a sweetbread, Robert?
12912Mrs. Maldon answered placidly--"When did you bring it in?
12912Mrs. Maldon muttered--"The key?
12912Mrs. Maldon was aghast, but she feigned sprightliness as she exclaimed--"You''re not leaving all this money here to- night?"
12912Mrs. Tams came in--"Shall I lay mester''s supper, ma''am?"
12912Mrs. Tams"--the woman was just bustling out of the bedroom, duster in hand--"will you toddle down to the works and tell them I''m not coming?"
12912Mrs. Tams, forgetting she was a parlour- maid, vociferated in amazement and protest--"Not be in for tea, ma''am?
12912Must I go on my bended knees to ye?"
12912Oh, I do n''t mind telling ye now-- what harm is there in it?
12912Or were the footsteps merely in his imagination?
12912Rachel exclaimed impulsively--"What about me?"
12912Rachel said, pleasantly,"But you were smoking last week, surely?"
12912Rachel said--"Shall I stand on a chair and hold the nail for you?"
12912Rachel turned to her, protesting--"Now, Mrs. Tams, what_ are_ you talking about?
12912Rachel, when in the deepening darkness she had peered into the frame, exclaimed, pouting--"Oh, darling, you are n''t going to hang that here, are you?
12912Rachel?
12912Shall I get you some water?"
12912Shall I send for another doctor?"
12912Shall you mind if I leave you for a minute?
12912She began--"I say, what do you think?
12912She breathed relief, and asked--"Are you going to give me my bicycle lesson?"
12912She exclaimed, kindly protesting--"Why not, I should like to know?"
12912She might have postponed it, but into what future?
12912She might have sat straight and remarked:"Mr. Fores, what do you mean by talking to me like that?"
12912She said--"Shall you lock up, or shall I?"
12912She was nervous, but she thought with strong superiority:"What are those old folks planning together?
12912She was thinking:"What''s the poor old thing got into her head now?
12912She would ask herself, could it be true that she was a married woman?
12912Should he run up and knock at her door?
12912So that''s what I look like, is it?
12912Suppose Louis were to die in the night?
12912Suppose the morning found her a widow?
12912The pipes were A1, but could a man carry about a huge contraption like that?
12912Theft?
12912Then more forcibly:"What am I to do first?
12912Then what...?
12912Then ye confess?"
12912There was no crime in what he had done... was there?
12912There''s a Cunard boat from Liverpool on Monday, is n''t there?"
12912These are n''t quite your hours, are they?
12912To herself she said:"Do I?...
12912To herself she was saying:"Why am I behaving like this?
12912V"And now what''s amiss?"
12912V"Anything the matter?"
12912VII"Well, Lizzie Maldon,"said Councillor Batchgrew as he crossed the sitting- room,"how d''ye find yourself?...
12912Was he dreaming?
12912Was he under some delusion?
12912Was it a theft?
12912Was it conceivable that he could so lightly cause so much distress of spirit to a woman so aged, defenceless, and kind?
12912Was it conceivable that only twelve hours earlier she had been ecstatically happy?
12912Was it disturbed?"
12912Was it his fault that he was thus tragically defective?
12912Was it not a sublime proof that the earth revolves and the world moves?
12912Was it not monstrous that a woman should be so careless as to light a fire without noticing that a bundle of notes lay on the top of the coal?
12912Was it not more than a gift, and entitled to stagger beholders?
12912Was it not notorious that the night was full of noises?
12912Was it not so?
12912Was it?"
12912Was she truly to be married?
12912We know, and that''s enough, is n''t it?"
12912We must be strictly conventional now"?
12912Well, what have ye got to say for yeself, seeing ye are on yer way to America?"
12912Were n''t you frightened?"
12912What a blessing that is, is n''t it?"
12912What about that?"
12912What am I to say to th''mortgagor?
12912What can a body do when a respectable young woman wi''red hair takes a fancy to a youth?
12912What could be the enigma between Mrs. Maldon and Rachel?
12912What could he do to ease her?
12912What could he say?
12912What did I do wrong?
12912What did it matter whether his face was marked for life or not?...
12912What do I care?"
12912What does he want you to go on Sunday for?"
12912What does he want?"
12912What had happened?
12912What happened to you?"
12912What have you been doing?
12912What is it?"
12912What is wisest?
12912What key?"
12912What motor?"
12912What ought he to do?
12912What point was there in rushing off to Llandudno, and scattering in three days more money than they could save in three weeks?
12912What reason could there be for refusing it?
12912What reason did you give?
12912What right had he?...
12912What shall I do?
12912What shall ye do then?"
12912What then?
12912What then?"
12912What was I to do?
12912What was happening?
12912What was he doing there?"
12912What will it be like to- morrow-- and Monday?
12912What''ll happen to it, think ye, seeing as it has n''t got legs?"
12912What''s he doing at the''Three Tuns''?
12912What''s he driving at?"
12912What''s she leaving for?"
12912What''s that?"
12912What''s this?"
12912What?
12912When?"
12912Where is he?"
12912Where the devil are ye?"
12912Where was it?
12912Who but Mr. Batchgrew would have had the notion of saddling poor old Mrs. Maldon with the custody of a vast sum of money?
12912Who could have doubted that he was sincere in this passionate, wistful protestation of innocence?
12912Who could have foreseen this arrant snobbishness in the excellent child of nature, Mrs. Tams?
12912Who on earth had the right to dictate to her?
12912Who?"
12912Why am I such a silly baby?"
12912Why ca n''t you stick this in the spare room?...
12912Why could n''t you have paid back the money and have done with it, instead of all this fuss?"
12912Why did n''t I foresee?...
12912Why did n''t I listen to him?
12912Why did n''t you ask me for the money?"
12912Why did n''t you tell me?
12912Why did n''t you wait?...
12912Why did you leave the money in the house at all?
12912Why do they ring for me?"
12912Why do you want to confess?
12912Why does he write from the''Three Tuns''?
12912Why go to Llandudno?
12912Why had she lost her temper and her head?
12912Why not?"
12912Why should I beg and pray?
12912Why should Julian have chosen Birches Street for residence, seeing that his business was in Knype?
12912Why should he bubble over with gratitude for having been at last treated fairly?
12912Why should he write a letter to her and leave it there on the table?
12912Why tell any one?"
12912Why, indeed, should he be afraid of a parcel of linen?
12912Why, then, should she have"pulled a face"( as the saying down there is) at the Old Parish Church?
12912Why, what on earth did I say last night, after all, I should like to know?"
12912With her voice Mrs. Tams said,"Shall I begin to clear all these things away,_ mam_?"
12912Wo n''t you take that great, thick overcoat off?"
12912Would it ever be occupied again?
12912Would n''t do any harm, would it?
12912Yardley?"
12912Yes, what ought I to do?
12912You do n''t know what the inside of my brain''s like.... Why did you say to them you found the scullery door open that night?
12912You would n''t listen before, so why should you be told now?
12912where''s Julian?
10658All the others gone?
10658Am I happy or unhappy?
10658And I suppose the son''s in the business?
10658And do you think I can?
10658And does he know?
10658And how did he take it?
10658And how did this tale get about?
10658And how''s the_ Chronicle_ getting on?
10658And is it too late now?
10658And shall I call in again?
10658And so you said they could go?
10658And the toast? 10658 And what about father''s love?"
10658And what about his other wife?
10658And what do you know about it, you inquisitive little puss?
10658And what have you got to buy?
10658And what is to be done?
10658And what''s got to be done with this?
10658And who''d told her that?
10658And why not?
10658And you?
10658Are you ill, Hilda?
10658As to giving it up? 10658 Astonishing I have to do this myself, is n''t it?"
10658At once?
10658Brighton?
10658Broke the last award?
10658But Mr. Cannon is n''t a foreigner?
10658But are you thinking of coming back to Turnhill?
10658But can you make it pay?
10658But do n''t you think we_ ought_ to write?
10658But does it lead to anything?
10658But had you any notion-- before--"Me? 10658 But how did you do in winter?"
10658But how old was she? 10658 But it''s nothing serious?"
10658But supposing she does give it up?
10658But what about Master Edwin?
10658But what can you do?
10658But what does this''_ f_''mean?
10658But what''s the matter?
10658But what''s the matter?
10658But what''s to be done?
10658But what''s up?
10658But what?
10658But where?
10658But who?
10658But why do I like her? 10658 But why me?"
10658But why not? 10658 But why?
10658But why?
10658But why?
10658But, mother, do n''t you think you''d better wait?
10658But-- what will people say?
10658But_ why_ should n''t I collect the rents myself? 10658 Can I do anything for you?"
10658Can I empty this chair? 10658 Can he talk French?"
10658Can you tell me what time it is?
10658Come from?
10658Come home, will you?
10658Did he ever inquire after me?
10658Did he now? 10658 Did he say anything to you about Brighton?"
10658Did n''t I always know,she asked herself with weak resignation,"that it was unreal?
10658Did you know I was here?
10658Did you notice this''_ f_''?
10658Did you want me? 10658 Do I know how he is?"
10658Do I?
10658Do n''t I?
10658Do n''t what?
10658Do n''t you know any Tennyson? 10658 Do n''t you, Florrie?"
10658Do n''t_ you_ think that some of it''s dullish, Teddy?
10658Do you know that the men broke the last award, not so very long since?
10658Do you know who wrote it?
10658Do you mean to say that none of the Orgreaves have said anything this last day or two?
10658Do you remember Hanbridge Theatre being built, Sarah?
10658Do you think I do n''t know George Cannon? 10658 Do you think I do n''t know all about that too?"
10658Do you think she''ll settle down?
10658Do-- do-- you know him?
10658Does n''t she know you?
10658Does she guess?
10658Everything all right?
10658Father, will you lend me a shilling?
10658Florrie gone to bed? 10658 For instance?"
10658For you?
10658Funny business, this newspaper business is, is n''t it?
10658Going to see him now?
10658Good morning, dear, how are you?
10658Got my way?
10658Got that letter ready, Miss Lessways?
10658Had I?
10658Has Mr. Cannon mentioned it?
10658Has n''t Sarah told you?
10658Has she swept the hearth? 10658 Have n''t you got enough sense to leave me alone?"
10658Have you decided what you''re going to do?
10658Have you told her?
10658He''s gone?
10658Hilda,said Mrs. Orgreave,"will_ you_ mind going and telling him?"
10658His sister?
10658Hotels?
10658How are you, you poor dear? 10658 How can you tell?"
10658How did he come to be a solicitor?
10658How do I know?
10658How do you know? 10658 How do you know?"
10658How does it strike you?
10658How is he Miss Gailey''s half- brother?
10658How is it your fault?
10658How soon shall you be down our way again?
10658How- d''ye- do, Miss Lessways?
10658How- d''ye- do, miss?
10658I ca n''t,said Janet dreamily,"because of that Musical Society meeting-- you know-- I told you, did n''t I?"
10658I mean--"What does your mother want to do?
10658I ought to be here then, ought n''t I?
10658I say, Jan,she exclaimed,"why should n''t Hilda come with us?"
10658I say, Janet,Tom sang out from the piano,"you are n''t really exhausted, are you?"
10658I suppose I must n''t stay here?
10658I suppose it''s about the rent- collecting?
10658I suppose you''re like all the rest-- against the men?
10658I suppose you''re very fond of reading?
10658I suppose you''ve bought it?
10658I suppose_ you_ could n''t give him a hint?
10658I think we''ll put''enlightened''there, before''public''Ring it, will you?
10658I thought,said Hilda, with all possible prim worldliness,--"I thought I heard him saying something about buying the property?"
10658I wonder whether I can get on to Brighton to- night if I take the six train?
10658I''ve got to talk business with you, so I suppose we may as well begin, eh?
10658If you please, miss, could you come into the hall a minute?... 10658 Interesting?"
10658Is anything the matter? 10658 Is it business?"
10658Is it possible that I can be so silly?
10658Is it possible,she asked herself,--"is it possible that Mrs. Orgreave does n''t guess what has happened to me?
10658Is n''t it horrid, going to school on a day like this? 10658 Is she all right?"
10658Is she in trouble?
10658Is that all there is about it?
10658Is that it?
10658Is that property going down, too?
10658Is that you?
10658Is your mother about?
10658It does seem a shame, does n''t it?
10658It is strange, is n''t it?
10658It''s a bit crowded, is n''t it?
10658It''s splendid, is n''t it?
10658Just let me wipe my shoulders, will you?
10658Just take this down, will you?
10658Keep what from you?
10658Know this?
10658Known what?
10658Let''s go out, eh?
10658Letter?
10658May I look?
10658May I?
10658Moreover, do n''t I get ten columns of news every three days? 10658 Mother,"Hilda asked, when they had gone upstairs,"did you wind the clock?"
10658Mr. Clayhanger? 10658 Never heard any gossip about me-- never?"
10658Never heard that I''m not really a solicitor?
10658No; where is she?
10658Not Miss Gailey?
10658Not really?
10658Of course, without upsetting your mother?
10658Oh, but, my dear,cried Mrs. Orgreave,"why ever did n''t you tell them downstairs, or let me know earlier?"
10658One will help the other, do n''t you see?
10658Ours?
10658Paper delivered, governor?
10658Perhaps Miss Hilda has n''t finished?
10658Phonography?
10658Please what?
10658Ready, miss?
10658Really?
10658Really?
10658Really?
10658Ring it? 10658 Scandal?"
10658School?
10658Serious? 10658 Set on what?
10658Shall I come in?
10658Shall I go and tell Jane? 10658 Shall I send some one down?"
10658Shall I take the tray away,''m?
10658Shall I tell her, or sha n''t I?
10658Shall we go back to our barrels?
10658Shall you be able to come?
10658Shall you be at Brighton long?
10658Shall you go?
10658Shall you keep Preston Street?
10658She''s not vexed with me?
10658So she thinks the engagement ought to be short?
10658So you''re nearly twenty- one?
10658So you''ve heard from Sarah, have you?
10658Some Tennyson?
10658Supposing I tell her that she can go, and that I''ll make her an allowance? 10658 Supposing I''d told you I wanted you, and then that I''d got a wife living-- what would you have said?"
10658Supposing I_ do_ meet him,she thought,"what shall I say to him?"
10658Supposing you could, about how much should I have-- I mean income?
10658Talked about? 10658 Telegram?"
10658Tennyson? 10658 That tea ready?"
10658That you?
10658That''s all, then?
10658That?
10658The police?
10658Then what do you want?
10658Then what''s the good of talking about it?
10658Then why?
10658To the Marrions''? 10658 To- morrow?
10658Turnhill-- what''s- its- name?... 10658 Wants to give it up?"
10658Was that the postman who rang just now?
10658Well, dear, shall you be all right now?
10658Well, how should he take it?
10658Well, my dear?
10658Well,he said,"I suppose I can count on you not to give me up to the police?"
10658Well--"She has n''t been trying to drown herself, has she?
10658Well?
10658Well?
10658Well?
10658Well?
10658Well?
10658What I say is, what about his other wife? 10658 What about?"
10658What address, miss?
10658What are you going to do to her?
10658What are you thinking about?
10658What can I say to him? 10658 What can be the matter?"
10658What can you do with such people?
10658What did he say?
10658What did she say?... 10658 What do I care about your Majuba?"
10658What do you mean-- starving?
10658What do you say?
10658What does she say?
10658What does that mean?
10658What end will it serve? 10658 What ever''s the matter?"
10658What have I said? 10658 What is it?
10658What is it? 10658 What is it?"
10658What is it?
10658What is n''t?
10658What is?
10658What name?
10658What piece?
10658What price the husband coming home to his tea? 10658 What shall you say to him?"
10658What the devil does it matter what they say? 10658 What time?"
10658What time?
10658What will she do?
10658What''s that about Teddy Clayhanger?
10658What''s the matter?
10658What''s the matter?
10658What''s the matter?
10658What''s the use of me saying I''m sorry?
10658What''s this place?
10658What''s to be done?
10658What? 10658 What?"
10658What?
10658What?
10658What?
10658What?
10658What?
10658What?
10658What?
10658When will George be back so that he can put her out of the house?
10658When will you come to look over our works?
10658When? 10658 Where are you going, dear?"
10658Where did you get it?
10658Where do you mean to begin?
10658Where is that infant?
10658Where is that old book of Mr. Skellorn''s, Hilda?
10658Where should you go to? 10658 Where''s George?"
10658Where''s George?
10658Where''s Tom?
10658Where?
10658Wherever have you been so late? 10658 Which one?
10658Who told you?
10658Who''s Edie?
10658Who''s that?
10658Who''s there?
10658Who? 10658 Who?
10658Who? 10658 Who?"
10658Who?
10658Whose fault is it if they do starve?
10658Why are people like that in the Five Towns?
10658Why are you sitting here? 10658 Why did I keep it from you?"
10658Why did I leave her? 10658 Why did he not call?
10658Why did you keep it from me?
10658Why did you leave her?
10658Why did you tell him that?... 10658 Why do n''t you ask Mrs. Lessways to go up with you and stay a week or two?
10658Why not take your daughter with you, too?
10658Why should I tell?
10658Why, Florrie,Hilda exclaimed,"what have you put that old skirt on for, when I''ve given you mine?
10658Why, what''s the matter?
10658Why? 10658 Why?"
10658Why?
10658Will Florrie have heard it?
10658Will they notice anything?
10658Will you come this way? 10658 Will you come this way?"
10658Will you please come into the drawing- room?
10658Would you have time to see to it? 10658 Yes, is n''t it?"
10658Yes-- what?
10658Yes?
10658Yes?
10658Yes?
10658You are n''t wet?
10658You did?
10658You do n''t know, dear?
10658You do n''t mean to say she was wanting to commit suicide?
10658You do n''t mean to say you do n''t know what I mean?
10658You do?
10658You have n''t been too cold without the eiderdown? 10658 You overtook her?
10658You see that?
10658You think so?
10658You''ll tell him to- night?
10658You''re going?
10658You''re not supposed to have seen me, are you?
10658You''ve come about the property?
10658You''ve heard about my little affair?
10658You?
10658''What is your present condition?''
10658A moment later he was saying:"Has she told you she wants to go over a printing- works?"
10658A resonant, very amiable voice came from beyond the door:"Is she there?"
10658After all, what is it?
10658After all, why should n''t Florrie...?"
10658After all--"And then Hilda''s conscience interrupted:"But can you leave her altogether?
10658All that he had said was true; and this being so, who could blame his conduct?
10658Am I astonished that it has come so soon, or did I know it was coming?"
10658And Hilda protested with equal banality, and added:"I suppose you''re going out a lot just now?"
10658And as Mrs. Lessways offered no reply, but simply stood at the foot of the stairs, she asked again:"What is it?"
10658And at length she thought:"Why did I make Janet promise that I should n''t be talked about?
10658And her mother, ingenuously startled and pleased, would exclaim:"Where, child?"
10658And if she would n''t have it back,--well, what was he to do?
10658And once more she reflected:"Is it possible that I can behave so odiously?"
10658And she thought, inexplicably:"Why am I here?
10658And she thought:"Why are these people so fond of me?
10658And she thought:"Why did I let this stranger love me?"
10658And she, Hilda-- what real anxieties had she?
10658And suppose I''d told you I''d got a wife living and then told you I wanted you-- what then?
10658And the burden of her meditations was:"What can he have thought of me?"
10658And the mother of that household?
10658And the thought ran through her mind like a squirrel through a tree:"How_ could_ he refuse her four thousand pounds?
10658And then Boutwood and his wife have decided to come-- did I tell you?"
10658And then, with the most naïve ingenuousness:"Mrs. Orgreave better?"
10658And to- morrow?"
10658And what shall you do if you''re not feeling well, and if it rains on Monday mornings?"
10658And what was she?
10658And when you had kissed me, how could I tell you then-- at once?
10658And who, gazing from the Square at the lighted window, would guess that she and he were there alone?
10658And whose fault will it be?...
10658And why not-- with a sufficient income, a comfortable home, and fair health?
10658And yet was not his tone peculiar?
10658And yet what can stop it from coming out, sooner or later?
10658And yet-- how could Louisa or Florrie have invented the story?...
10658Anyone been?"
10658Apparently perplexed by the obvious effect on her of his remark, he said:"But you belong to the Five Towns, do n''t you?"
10658Are you in a hurry?
10658As George Cannon offered no answer to her question, she said:"I suppose it will have to be invested, all this?"
10658Assuming even that Sarah Gailey turned round and caught her-- what then?
10658At best she could only assert that she did not disbelieve-- and was she so sure even of that?
10658Books failing, might she not have escaped into some vocation?
10658Boutwood?"
10658Brighton?
10658Brooks?"
10658Bursley?
10658But do you suppose I could trust either of my ingenious sons to get the curves of the mouldings right?"
10658But how are you, Hilda?"
10658But of what use, now, to do that?
10658But perhaps you know?"
10658But was it?
10658But why?"
10658But would she ever go back?
10658But would they?
10658But, the next moment, she was saying to herself proudly:"What does it matter?
10658By a short engagement, did he mean six months, three months, a month?
10658By what error of destiny had this heart- rending phenomenon of discord been caused?
10658Can anyone find any trace of shabbiness in_ me_?"
10658Can you come?"
10658Can you imagine it?"
10658Cannon?"
10658Cannon?"
10658Catkin?..."
10658Clayhanger?"
10658Could he guess that in truth she was reading Cranswick solely because Edwin Clayhanger happened to be a printer?
10658Could he, then, penetrate her thoughts?
10658Could she bring herself to relate her misfortune?
10658Could she say it to him?
10658Curious, is n''t it?"
10658Dared she hope that he meant... a month?
10658Did anyone want me?"
10658Did n''t you know the old woman''d been inquiring for her beautiful''usband down your way?"
10658Did not every member of his family, save those detained by illness, attend the historic spectacle of the Centenary?
10658Did not everything happen?...
10658Do n''t you remember I pointed it out to you?
10658Do you know what the great thing of the future is, I mean the really great thing-- the smashing big thing?"
10658Do you mean to say you can say a thing like that and then forget about it?
10658Do you still recite, like you used to?"
10658Even could she by a miracle break prison, where should she look for the unknown object of her desire, and for what should she look?
10658Ever heard the word''bigamy''?"
10658George Cannon, who always kept an eye on her, had said teasingly:"I suppose it''s your journalistic past that makes you interested in that?"
10658Grant?"
10658Had he a letter for her?
10658Had he not?
10658Had not Mr. Orgreave said that old Mr. Clayhanger could buy up all the Orgreaves if he chose?
10658Had she no pride?...
10658Had she not abandoned the pursuit of religious truth in favour of light enjoyments?...
10658Had she not always doubted him?
10658Had she not always said to herself that she was doing wrong in her marriage and that she would thereby suffer?
10658Had the incredible occurred, then?
10658Had this disaster befallen just her, of all the young women in the world?
10658Has n''t she said anything to you?"
10658Has she been saying anything to you?"
10658He does n''t look it, does he?"
10658He might have said,"Were you?
10658He replied bluntly:"What earthly right have you to suppose that I''m like all the rest?"
10658He stammered:"Did I say there was no virtue in believing?"
10658He''s--""What?"
10658Hilda asked, and to herself:"Can it have anything to do with George?"
10658Hilda desired to ask him:"How short?"
10658Hilda replied:"You surely are n''t serious about collecting those rents yourself, are you, mother?"
10658Hilda thought, bewildered:''Shaping so well?''
10658Hilda thought:"Is she determined not to speak of it unless I do?"
10658Hilda thought:"Suppose this fat old man is one day my father- in- law?
10658Hilda thought:"Why did I say that?"
10658Hilda thought:"Will this contain another reproach at my irregularity?
10658Hilda, her heart beating, thought, with affrighted swiftness:"Why should I tell her?
10658His voice was thick and obscure when he asked:"You wo n''t come with me?"
10658How could he help doing all he had done?
10658How could he judge-- how could any man judge?
10658How could they have got it fixed into their heads that she was a reciter?
10658How did he look at her?
10658How much d''ye think the rent is?"
10658How?...
10658However, I shall--""You will what?"
10658I could n''t offer her anything, could I?
10658I did so want to tell you, but how could I?
10658I suppose there''s no way of seeing a copy of it, somewhere?...
10658I think you can sit up now, ca n''t you?"
10658I told you how full he was of it, did n''t I, Caroline?
10658I''ll unchain the door for you, shall I?"
10658I''ve told you all about the Watchett sisters, have n''t I?
10658II"What''s up?"
10658II"Why should n''t I collect the rents myself?"
10658III"And so you''re thinking of going to London, Miss Gailey?"
10658III"Anybody here?"
10658III"Of course, your mother''s told you?"
10658IV"Are you thinking of getting up, dear?"
10658IV"Florrie gone to bed?"
10658If he is not ruined, what is the meaning of these puzzling changes here?"
10658Is Sowter here?"
10658Is he hurt?
10658Is he proud?"
10658Is it possible she ca n''t see that I''m different from what I used to be?
10658Is it possible to imagine him as a father- in- law?"
10658Is n''t it dreadful?"
10658Is n''t it terrible?"
10658Is n''t it?"
10658It was as if he had said:"You think yourself very clever, but do you suppose that I ca n''t read the notes in a time- table?"
10658It was as if she were in momentary expectation of being challenged by these hardy debaters:"Are not_ you_ a free- thinker?"
10658Janet dropped her voice accordingly:"She''s Mr. Cannon''s sister, of course?"
10658Jimmie and Johnnie played the rôle of the absolutely imperturbable with a skill equal to Charlie''s own; and only a series of calm"How- do''s?"
10658Just give me some money, will you?"
10658Lessways?"
10658Love?
10658Merely to temporize, she said, as they drew opposite the wooden theatre:"Could n''t we just go and look in?
10658Miss Gailey and Mr. Cannon?
10658Mr. Cannon?
10658Mrs. Lessways cried out thickly from the folds of her flannel petticoat:"Hilda, just see who that is, will you?...
10658Nevertheless, without frailty, without defection, what could chance have done?
10658No mother?"
10658Now I suppose it''s Sarah who''s been worrying you?"
10658Now?"
10658Of course I was obliged to call.... And yet would it not be more satisfactory if I had seen him?...
10658On your going to London?"
10658Or did he look at her''like that''behind her back?
10658Or had she always guessed it?
10658Or was it only in her fancy that his tone was peculiar?
10658Orgreave?"
10658See?
10658Seen afresh, through the eyes of this charming, sympathetic acquaintance, was not Mr. Cannon''s originality in engaging her positively astounding?
10658Shall I pay you now?"
10658She asked herself:"Why do I talk like this?
10658She asked:"What attracts me in him?
10658She could not ask her again:"What''s the matter?"
10658She could not have spoken, not even to murmur:"Where are you taking me to?"
10658She cried within herself:"Why have I never heard of Richard Crashaw?
10658She descended the stairs, asking herself aghast:"Why am I doing this?"
10658She had been thinking:"Is he ruined?
10658She murmured kindly:"Shall I?"
10658She said to herself:"Yet what do I care whether he is keeping silence or not?"
10658She seemed to be saying to him in a doomed rapture:"Do you think I do n''t know what I am doing?
10658She stood silent by the dressing- table, calmly looking at him, and she asked herself, eagerly curious:"When were the other times?"
10658She thought, half in alarm:"What is the matter now?"
10658She thought:"Am I lost?
10658She thought:"Am I really fainting this time?
10658She thought:"How shall I dress to- morrow afternoon?"
10658She thought:"Should_ I_, out of simple kindliness and charity, have deliberately come to tell a man I did n''t know... that his sister was starving?
10658She went on still more persuasively:"I suppose you''ve got a new secretary?"
10658She''s bound to be frightfully home- sick--""What about you?"
10658Should she go forward, or should she go back?
10658Should she issue forth and interfere, or should she remain discreetly where she was?
10658So it was this that you wanted to see me about?"
10658So you know him?"
10658Supposing that she re- entered the shop with him, would she have the courage to tell him that she was in his society under false pretences?
10658Surprised by the unusual gesture, she moved uneasily and blushed; and as she did so, she asked herself resentfully:"Why do I behave like this?
10658That do?"
10658The Ineffable?"
10658The Orgreaves?"
10658The father, you mean?"
10658The thought continually arising in Hilda''s mind was:"Why do they care for me?
10658Then she thought:"Why should I be angry?
10658They are n''t likely to be more than an hour, I expect?"
10658They''ve quarrelled, have n''t they?"
10658Throughout her long stay in Preston Street she had continually said:"After this-- what?
10658To complete the sacrifice, she raised her veil, and smiled up at him, as it were, asking:"What next?"
10658To the letter there was a postscript:"Has George been to see you yet about me?
10658Two women, newly acquainted, and feeling a mutual attraction, would say to each other:"Shall we go up to the little room?"
10658Unless I marry, I''m tied to Sarah Gailey as long as she lives.... And why?...
10658Useless to ask:"_ Why_ should I feel responsible?"
10658Was Sarah to go on living with them?
10658Was he not half- French, and were not these books precisely a corroboration of what her mother had told her?
10658Was he wandering in the other garden, or had he entered the house?
10658Was it conceivable that Charlie could be interested in religion?
10658Was it conceivable that this experienced and worldly man had been captivated by such a mere girl as herself?
10658Was it due to weary carelessness, or to actual, horrible financial straits?
10658Was it possible that he had another wife alive?
10658Was it possible that people noticed it?...
10658We''ve stuffed ourselves, have n''t we, Hilda?
10658Were not all the shops and offices of the Five Towns closed?
10658Were they, then, afraid of being serious?...
10658What about the old woman he married in Devonshire?
10658What about this rain?
10658What am I going to be and to do?
10658What am I thinking of?
10658What am I to do now?"
10658What am_ I_ doing?"
10658What can they see in me?
10658What could be the meaning of that hysteric appeal and glance?
10658What could be the mystery beneath this most singular behaviour?
10658What could she do, then?
10658What did Janet mean by saying that he had read simply everything?
10658What did he mean?
10658What did it matter to them?
10658What do I know of him?"
10658What do you do with yourself?"
10658What does he want?"
10658What does my hair matter?"
10658What is coming over me?"
10658What is it?
10658What is your present condition?..."
10658What next?
10658What she meant was:"Who on earth can this be?"
10658What should I have said?"
10658What will have happened?"
10658When it comes to an end what am I to do to satisfy my conscience?"
10658When it comes, shall I have told him my misfortune?
10658When she was near the top, her mother''s voice, at once querulous and amiable, came from the sitting- room:"Where are you going to?"
10658Where am_ I_?
10658Where are you all?
10658Where is he?"
10658Where now was the soft virgin?...
10658Where was Edwin Clayhanger?
10658Whither was George Cannon leading her?
10658Who but he could have said a thing at once so illuminating and so simple?
10658Who d''ye come from, miss?"
10658Who was she?
10658Who would take it now?
10658Why am I not at home in Turnhill?
10658Why am I so different from what mother was?
10658Why am I such a baby?"
10658Why are they so good to me?
10658Why be ashamed when things go wrong?
10658Why ca n''t I talk naturally and gently and cheerfully?
10658Why did Tom never tell me?"
10658Why did n''t you answer my letter?"
10658Why did she like him and like being with him?
10658Why disturb oneself?
10658Why do n''t I take the trouble to look nice?"
10658Why had she not said it?...
10658Why had she not used her force of character to obtain more books?
10658Why should I be afraid to recite again?
10658Why should I be like Janet?"
10658Why should he succeed where another was failing?
10658Why should it move me now?"
10658Why should she not be happy?
10658Why?"
10658Why?"
10658Why?"
10658With an unexpected and almost childlike gesture he suddenly threw the hat up on to the rack above his head,"How''s that?"
10658Without you, what will happen to her?
10658Would he call in at the dining- room, or would he come to the bedroom in search of her?
10658Would he let the train go, in his feverish preoccupation?
10658Would he meet them?
10658Would it be she?
10658Would she ever go back to it?
10658Would you like me to tell you?"
10658You could n''t do without me-- isn''t that enough?"
10658You do n''t suppose her aunt will come down here, do you?
10658You remember I told your mother last year but one I could get a customer for it?
10658You''d better sit down, do n''t you think?"
10658You''ll hear about it some day, I dare say.... Shall I tell you?
10658You''ve not seen her since you came in?"
10658Young?"
10658are you going to Hornsey, too?"
10658she heard him call out,"what about tea?
10658when was that?"
7508Mr. Baillie, do you like brown eyes and cherry lips?
7508''"Who speaks ill of Serpolette?"''
7508''A real actor coming here to lodge?''
7508''Abuse you?
7508''All these years, am I forgotten?
7508''An apple?''
7508''An orange?''
7508''And all mixed up; how is that?
7508''And are you certain that a lady might have called about ten or half- past without your having seen her?''
7508''And did n''t ums know the sea was salt, and did ums think it very nasty, and not half as nice as a brandy- and- soda?''
7508''And did she care for you?''
7508''And do I get nothing for guessing right?''
7508''And do you think that you wo n''t get tired of me?
7508''And how did he manage to do that, marm?''
7508''And how did the fit come on?''
7508''And how did you think I looked?
7508''And how long have you been doing that?''
7508''And how will you save me from meeting him if he''s there before us?''
7508''And how''s the baby?''
7508''And is mother dead?''
7508''And is n''t she here?
7508''And meet all those girls?''
7508''And so you found your way, dear?''
7508''And what did you say to that?
7508''And what part does he play in_ Madame Angot_?''
7508''And what time is it now?''
7508''And what was Mr. Lennox like?''
7508''And what would your mistress do in the case of not being able to supply a lady with rooms?''
7508''And where''s the difference?''
7508''And who are the heroes that you''ve written about?''
7508''And who are your heroes, may I ask?''
7508''And who were you with?''
7508''And why not, pray?''
7508''And why not?
7508''And why should n''t she?
7508''And why-- why not?''
7508''And why?''
7508''And will that be nice?''
7508''And will you give me Mrs. Hurley''s address?''
7508''And will you take me with you?''
7508''And you will want a hood and cloak?
7508''And you, Annie?''
7508''And, Mr. Lennox, you will see that I''m not shoved into the back row by Miss Dacre, wo n''t you?''
7508''Are n''t you coming in?''
7508''Are n''t you happy with him?
7508''Are those men going to stop there all night?''
7508''Ask you what?''
7508''Bear what?''
7508''Besides, he said,''how can I put you into a leading business all at once?
7508''Brandy balls?''
7508''But I like walking fast,''she said;''perhaps I walk too fast for you?''
7508''But are n''t you going to act, Di--?
7508''But are n''t you going to act, sir?''
7508''But are you going?''
7508''But do you really love me?
7508''But do you think, doctor, it will be an expensive illness?
7508''But how could God forgive her her sins if she persevered in them?''
7508''But how did you get here?''
7508''But how do you think she''ll play the Countess?''
7508''But if he does n''t answer?''
7508''But if it is n''t a policeman, who would you like it to be, Lizzie?''
7508''But if you believe that we live hereafter, why should you deny pre- existence?''
7508''But is this paid for?''
7508''But law, mum, why are n''t you on the stage now?''
7508''But may I ask, ma''am, if you be Mrs. Lennox?
7508''But surely if they''re doing the same play you do n''t want to see it again?''
7508''But tell me, was n''t it you who sent me the verses?
7508''But the cigarettes,''she said,''used to relieve you; do you still smoke them?''
7508''But those two gentlemen-- the actors-- what will happen?
7508''But what are you so cross about?''
7508''But what can have brought him down?''
7508''But what did he say I must do to get well?''
7508''But what do you want me to do?''
7508''But what have you been doing?
7508''But when will you have your opera ready?''
7508''But where have you been?
7508''But where''s Bret?''
7508''But who will play Clairette?''
7508''But why have n''t you been to see me lately?
7508''But why in London?''
7508''But wo n''t you kiss me-- just a kiss, so that I may have something to think of?''
7508''But you''ll come and see me?
7508''But your side-- is it sore when you touch it?
7508''But, Dick, dear, why not at once?
7508''Ca n''t you guess?''
7508''Can he?
7508''Can we?
7508''Could you never love me again if I were very kind to you?''
7508''Could you tell me where Mr. Lennox would be likely to be found?''
7508''Dick, do you think you''ll always love me as you do now?''
7508''Did he really?''
7508''Did n''t Mr. Lennox tell you that you had to sing my song, the market- woman''s song, in the first act?''
7508''Did n''t he order anything else?''
7508''Did the doctor say so?''
7508''Did yer ever''ear of anyone spraining an ankle on purpose?''
7508''Did you ever see so many graves?''
7508''Did you say you would n''t marry her?''
7508''Did you see nobody else?''
7508''Do for me?''
7508''Do n''t you care to drink anything?
7508''Do n''t you remember, Dick was married with a scratched face?''
7508''Do n''t you see,''tis he who does the policeman?
7508''Do n''t you think we might open something?''
7508''Do they?''
7508''Do you belong to the company?''
7508''Do you ever find it necessary to take any stimulant?''
7508''Do you know that the fellow who owns that building has made a fortune?''
7508''Do you know the address?''
7508''Do you know who''s going to be at the wedding breakfast?
7508''Do you really think so?
7508''Do you think I can leave her?''
7508''Do you think that paper- cutter would do?''
7508''Do you think you could manage?''
7508''Do you think, Mr. Montgomery, that to take an encore for my song will interfere with the piece?''
7508''Drunk, Kate?
7508''Eat with you?
7508''Especially at night- time?''
7508''For hours, Ralph?''
7508''Go up to your room?''
7508''Hansom, or four- wheeler?''
7508''Hardly anything; and yet if I may venture a criticism-- would you mind passing your manuscript on to me for a moment?
7508''Has nothing happened?
7508''Has your heart from its allegiance Turned to greet a fairer face?
7508''Have you been to America?''
7508''Have you bought your present?''
7508''Have you got the eggs?''
7508''Have you heard that the chorus have clubbed together to buy Dick a chain?''
7508''Have you known Dick,''she asked suddenly,''a long time?''
7508''Have you seen mine?''
7508''Have you seen my wife?''
7508''He''s an invalid, is n''t he?''
7508''Hey, old pal, what is it?
7508''How am I to go?
7508''How are you, o- o- old man?
7508''How can he make such a beast of himself?''
7508''How can he take us to the play?
7508''How can you be so unkind, or is it that you''ve no thought for that poor sick child?''
7508''How could I fix a day?''
7508''How could she leave Dick and return to Hanley?
7508''How dare you accuse me of being drunk?
7508''How did you get out, dear?
7508''How did you like the piece, dear?''
7508''How do you do, old man?
7508''How do you like that?''
7508''How do you mean a disgrace?''
7508''How do you mean, dressing?''
7508''How do you mean?
7508''How does she manage the dressmaking?
7508''How much did you get?''
7508''How thirty- five?
7508''How very sharp you are, Mr. Mortimer,''answered Dolly in her pertest manner;''and what are you going to give?
7508''How will you manage that?''
7508''How''s that?
7508''How''s that?''
7508''I broke it?''
7508''I ca n''t think how you treat me as you do; what have I done to you to deserve it?
7508''I do n''t know and I do n''t care; what''s that to me?
7508''I do n''t know; do you think it dangerous?''
7508''I hope you did n''t wait supper for me?''
7508''I know what it means,''cried Lizzie;''you see that old chap on the right?
7508''I must be off now,''he said,''there''s no help for it; but you wo n''t disappoint me, will you?
7508''I shall be so glad if you will; but Market Street-- I think you said Market Street?
7508''I should like it so much; but what excuse can I give for being out till half- past ten at night?''
7508''I suppose he will come back for me,''Kate said;''or perhaps I''d better go on?
7508''I suppose you know London well?''
7508''I suspected Beaumont was not quite right, perhaps; but you do n''t mean to say there is n''t one?
7508''I think the idea very fine, but----''''But?''
7508''I wonder what it''s for,''said another;''it went all right, I thought-- didn''t you?
7508''If I did n''t love you, why should I ask you to go away with me?
7508''If you will permit me?''
7508''Indeed you do n''t, and what do you get for it?
7508''Is Mrs. Forest in?''
7508''Is Mrs. Lennox here?''
7508''Is Mrs. Lennox staying here?''
7508''Is it for a new- born infant?''
7508''Is it really?''
7508''Is it there that it pains you?''
7508''Is it?''
7508''Is mother in a great rage because I wo n''t let her in?''
7508''Is n''t it extraordinary that Bret can never be up to time?
7508''Is she suffering much?''
7508''Is that you, Kate?
7508''Is that you, dear?''
7508''Is the railway company going to stand us treat this journey?''
7508''Is there any lady missing?''
7508''Is this woman coming to meet him?''
7508''Is your appetite good?
7508''It is pretty, is n''t it?
7508''Late for what?''
7508''Led me into what?
7508''Long, long years I have been waiting, Bearing up against my pain; All my thoughts and vows have vanished, Will they ever come again?
7508''Look out for an engagement?''
7508''Lor, marm, why did yo''buy those things?''
7508''Love me?''
7508''Making a change?
7508''May I ask you, Montgomery, for a slice of bacon?
7508''Meanwhile,''Dick answered,''will you leave my room?''
7508''Might I ask,''she said,''if you''re one of the directors of the theatre?''
7508''My opera?''
7508''No, no; why should you love me?''
7508''Not a nice picture at all, and all mixed up?''
7508''Not bad,''said another;''I got one like it last year at Sheffield,''''But what shall I do with it?''
7508''Not stop here-- eh, eh?
7508''Now I wonder if your husband would consent to your going on the stage?''
7508''Now then, ladies, are you ready?''
7508''Now, who,''she asked,''can have been sending him these_ Classical Cartoons_, number four?''
7508''Oh yes, that''s where he''s gone to, is it?''
7508''Oh, Dick, dear, what shall we do if we find him waiting on the platform?
7508''Oh, Kate, what are you doing?''
7508''Oh, do you think so?
7508''Oh, is that you, Kate?''
7508''Oh, is that you, Mrs. Ede?
7508''Oh, now really, Kate,''he cried, shocked by the unfairness of the accusation,''how could I know that you were going to hit me there?''
7508''Oh, what is it?''
7508''Old people are very pious, generally, are n''t they?
7508''On what floor?''
7508''Putting aside the question of what you owe and what you do n''t owe, I''d like to ask you where you could find a nicer wife?
7508''Reasons I do n''t know of?
7508''Reduce expenses?
7508''Satisfied with you?''
7508''Scotch or Irish?''
7508''Shall I put that down in the bill, or will you give me the money now, ma''am?''
7508''Shall I write to him to- day, then, and say that we can let him have the rooms from next Monday?''
7508''Sleep with you?''
7508''So you think I ought to marry her?''
7508''So you''re going,''she said;''and when shall I see you again?''
7508''Sorry, Kate?
7508''Speak so?
7508''Supposing she said something like this, eh?
7508''Take the first turn to the right, and you''re in Church Street; but there may be bits of the delf in the wound?''
7508''The organ is there, and there''s no fluffing the notes; they come out clear, do n''t they?''
7508''Then I''m really downright mad?''
7508''Then shall I get you breakfast, sir?''
7508''Then what shall I do?''
7508''Then why derange these ladies and gentlemen by asking them to attend at this meeting?''
7508''Then you wo n''t let me?''
7508''Then you''ll come?''
7508''There''s Market Street; do n''t you remember, Dick, where you met me the day you took me to the potteries?''
7508''There,''she said,''have n''t I proof of your baseness?
7508''Think you ought to marry her?''
7508''This way, sir; what will you take, sir?
7508''To what?''
7508''Was Dick in love with Miss Leslie before he knew me?''
7508''Was it for such a success as this that he took me away from my home?
7508''Was she really spoons on the actor?''
7508''Was this life,''he asked himself,''or death?
7508''Was this life?''
7508''We can not talk here,''Dick said;''is n''t there a quiet street near by?''
7508''We shall be off in a minute, dear,''whispered Dick softly in her ear,''and then----''''Whose carriage are you going in, Dick?''
7508''Wear it first on one hand and then on the other, dear; that will puzzle him,''''But supposing he comes to meet me at the stage- door?''
7508''Well, Dick, what is it?''
7508''Well, do n''t you agree with me?''
7508''Well, have you brought the drink I sent you for?
7508''Well, my dear-- mad?
7508''Well, never mind,''said Kate;''did you ever see such beautiful clear water?
7508''Well, tell me the truth: do you think he can be constant to a woman?
7508''Well, was it all right?''
7508''Well, what did you say?''
7508''Well, what do you want me to do?''
7508''Well, what do you want me to do?''
7508''Well, what does it matter if I do?
7508''Well, what will that matter?
7508''Well, what''s the matter?
7508''Well, what?''
7508''Well, will you go?''
7508''Were you ever in love with anybody?''
7508''What are we to do?''
7508''What are you crying about?''
7508''What are you crying for?''
7508''What are you going to give, Annie?''
7508''What are you going to give?''
7508''What are you laughing at, Kate?''
7508''What are you thinking about?
7508''What are your words, dear?''
7508''What can he be saying?
7508''What did I say?
7508''What did he say, then?''
7508''What did you hit me like that for?''
7508''What did you intend giving for it?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you think, dear?''
7508''What do you want?
7508''What does it matter what the time is?
7508''What does it matter?
7508''What does it matter?
7508''What does that matter?
7508''What does this mean?''
7508''What does this mean?''
7508''What happened when I got my decree of divorce?''
7508''What harm can they do me?''
7508''What has happened?''
7508''What have I done now?''
7508''What have you got for us?''
7508''What is it, Dick?
7508''What is it, dear?''
7508''What is it?''
7508''What is that?''
7508''What matter if she does?
7508''What matter?
7508''What reasons?''
7508''What shall I get, then?''
7508''What shall we do now?''
7508''What time?''
7508''What were you speaking about when it began?''
7508''What will the Lennoxes do?''
7508''What will the husband do?''
7508''What will work out all right?
7508''What will you have, dear?''
7508''What''s that?''
7508''What''s the cue?''
7508''What''s the matter, dear?''
7508''What''s the matter, my dear?
7508''What''s the matter, sir?
7508''What''s the use of grumbling?
7508''What, Hender your wife?''
7508''What, over those hills?
7508''What, you, Dick, in Manchester?
7508''What-- do you look so fri- frightened at?
7508''When you were a little girl you used to come here to play, I suppose?''
7508''Where are you going... shall you be coming back again?''
7508''Where are you living, dear?''
7508''Where had he gone?''
7508''Where on earth are you going at that rate?''
7508''Where were you last night?''
7508''Where''s Mr. Simpson''s lunch?''
7508''Where''s Mr. Simpson''s lunch?''
7508''Where''s he off to?''
7508''Where''s the stage entrance of the Opà © ra Comique?''
7508''Which, then, is the most important in your eyes-- Mr. Peppencott''s sermon or my breath?''
7508''Who attended the rehearsal to- day, then?''
7508''Who is she?''
7508''Who left this here?''
7508''Who would do the dressmaking for him?''
7508''Who would look after poor baby if I were taken away?''
7508''Who''s Mr. Simpson?
7508''Why a new work?''
7508''Why did n''t she ask me to come to her at five to- day?''
7508''Why did n''t she take a little more trouble with her make- up?''
7508''Why did n''t you come to the theatre?
7508''Why did you want her to stay?''
7508''Why do n''t you go away and leave me?
7508''Why do n''t you go yourself?''
7508''Why do you ask?''
7508''Why do you want to kiss me?
7508''Why should n''t I let my rooms to Mr. Lennox if I like?''
7508''Why should n''t there be two understudies?''
7508''Why should you do that, when she is in love with Bret?''
7508''Why,''she said,''do you think it''s the best thing that could happen to me?''
7508''Why?
7508''Will he never speak and let me go?''
7508''Will that be enough,''said Dick,''to place her in an asylum?''
7508''Will you require any dinner?''
7508''Will you?
7508''Wo n''t you come in?''
7508''Would n''t you really?''
7508''Yes, a romp; but what is a romp?''
7508''Yes, sir, certainly; but if I may make so bold, you''re looking very tired-- may I offer you a glass of beer?
7508''Yes, that''s easily arranged,''said Dick,''but what about the tour?
7508''You are n''t joking?''
7508''You do n''t mean to tell me that you turned her out?
7508''You have n''t heard Dolly''s story of the undergraduate?''
7508''You little silly, ca n''t you guess who they''re for?
7508''You mean, Kate, that you would play the mad woman?
7508''You promise?''
7508''You remember her, Leslie, do n''t you?
7508''You surely do n''t want to concert that, do you?''
7508''You were a friend of hers, then?''
7508''You were in bed, then?''
7508''You were n''t at the theatre last night?''
7508''You will excuse me, I hope, madam, addressing you, and if I do so it is because I am in an official capacity here, but may I offer you a parasol?''
7508''You will find these of the very best quality; will you feel the warmth of this, ma''am?''
7508''You wo n''t be angry if I tell you?''
7508''You wo n''t do that, will you, dear?
7508''You would strike me, would you?
7508''You''ll come a- nd and see me again to- to- morrow, wo n''t you?''
7508''You''ll have the same, Dolly?''
7508''You''ll take me out to tea, Dick?''
7508''You''re going out?
7508''Your husband is an actor, I believe?''
7508''Your wife?
7508A drunken chorus lady; trying to get her home?
7508A good makeup, is n''t it?
7508After a long silence Kate said:''I''ve been very ill, have n''t I?
7508After the usual salutations--''How do you do, old boy?
7508All he could say was,''Oh, my darling, I''m so sorry; you will forgive me, wo n''t you?''
7508And I suppose you walk up Piccadilly with him after the play?''
7508And Ralph?
7508And by whose order was a human creature tortured thus cruelly?''
7508And how have you been?''
7508And what can you do?
7508And will he take us to see the play?''
7508And will you come back and lodge here?''
7508And, remembering their little dispute, Kate said:''Well, dears, is it a robber or a sweetheart?''
7508Anyhow, it does n''t matter now, does it, doctor?
7508Are n''t you thirsty?''
7508Are n''t you well?
7508Are n''t you well?''
7508Are they going to go away?''
7508Are you all right?''
7508Are you coming my way?''
7508Are you game, Mortimer?
7508Are you going to buy the paper- cutter?''
7508As she entered the shop Mrs. Ede, who was in the front kitchen, cried,''Well, is that you, Kate?
7508As they walked home up the dark street when all was over, she laid her hand affectionately on his arm:''Tell me, Dick, are you satisfied with me?
7508At last he said:''But what did you mean just now when you said that it was more necessary than ever that you should go on the stage?''
7508At last he said:''But where have you been all the day?
7508At last he said:''I like these apartments very well; and you say that I can have breakfast here?''
7508At last he said:''Where are you going?''
7508At last she said:''Will you take me to church to- day?''
7508At last, as they stopped before the door of a small family hotel, he said:''It''s now something like four years since we parted, ai n''t it?''
7508Besides, had he not told her that he was going to be out all day?
7508Besides, what could he do?
7508Besides, what harm?
7508Brown?''
7508But I do n''t know how I can talk to you like this, for how can you respect me?
7508But by walking very slowly she contrived to reach the stage- door of the Opà © ra Comique, feeling very weak and ill.''Is Mr. Lennox in?''
7508But do tell me, Kate, what is the matter?
7508But do tell me, Mrs. Ede-- is he the one in the cocked hat?''
7508But do you love me?
7508But how do you get on with Miss Hender?''
7508But how long shall we have to wait?
7508But if she is a nun, why is n''t she in a habit?
7508But is this altogether sure?''
7508But tell me, is there anyone listening?''
7508But tell me, what were they doing downstairs?
7508But tell me-- you will, wo n''t you?
7508But the idea of God did not arrest his attention, and his thoughts fixing themselves on the child, he asked himself, what was this new life to him?
7508But the only answer they received was,''Now what does it matter who Mr. Simpson is?
7508But the question: what has become of Dick?
7508But this patchwork quilt is yours, I suppose?''
7508But what are we to do?
7508But what compartment shall we take?
7508But what could be said against him for requesting the removal of a drunken man?
7508But what matter the food?
7508But what shall she say after?''
7508But what''s the matter, Kate?
7508But which of the three illustrious composers, Hervà ©, Offenbach and Lecocq, should he choose to write the music?
7508But which way are you going?''
7508But wo n''t you kiss me before I go?''
7508But wo n''t you sing something, Mrs. Ede?
7508But would Dick produce a new piece?
7508But you''ll be able to manage the song, wo n''t you?
7508But, interrupting herself suddenly, she cried:''Dick, who has been scratching you?
7508By Witt or by MacColl, excellent writers both?
7508Ca n''t you see that I''m only very hot?''
7508Can I get you anything?''
7508Can you think of anything, dear?
7508Can you-- will you-- my own darling Dick, give me another trial?''
7508Chappel, will you be good enough to play the"Just put this in your pocket"chorus over again?''
7508Clarke, has my husband come in?''
7508Cold beef, chicken and ham, or a little soup?''
7508Could n''t you ask someone to go for you?''
7508Could they do nothing without him?
7508Could you fetch him?
7508Cox?''
7508Dick is very good to me; but if I tell you something you promise not to mention it?''
7508Dick, Dick, are you going to leave me?''
7508Did I speak crossly?
7508Did he count for nobody?
7508Did he intend to insult her-- was that it?
7508Did he only keep her to work for him?
7508Did he say that?''
7508Did n''t I, Miss Hender?''
7508Did n''t you see Bret passing?
7508Did she tell you of it?''
7508Did their thoughts never wander from their work?
7508Did they fancy that it was nothing to him if his wife and child were dead or alive?
7508Did they see you?''
7508Did this man never wish to go to bed?
7508Did you ever hear of such a thing?
7508Did you fix a day?''
7508Do n''t you know that?''
7508Do n''t you remember, Dick, the first night I played Florette in_ The Brigands_?
7508Do n''t you think so, sir?''
7508Do n''t you think so?''
7508Do n''t you think you''ll be able to hold out till then?''
7508Do n''t you wish he''d get ill again?
7508Do tell me the real truth; do you think I shall ever be able to sing?''
7508Do they abuse me very much?''
7508Do you approve of my manner of writing the hexameters?''
7508Do you deal with them?''
7508Do you happen to have any in the house?''
7508Do you love him so much?''
7508Do you see anything you like here?''
7508Do you see?''
7508Do you suppose I want to hear about that woman?''
7508Do you suppose it is to talk to you that I came here?
7508Do you take me for a fool?
7508Do you think you could manage with that?''
7508Do you think you would have liked me to have kissed you?''
7508Do you want another?
7508Does he get tired easily?
7508Does he like change?''
7508Does n''t he treat you well?''
7508Drawing the letter from her pocket, she said to the hall- keeper:''Will you kindly give Mr. Lennox this letter?
7508For you are my friend, are n''t you?''
7508For you know what a position I am in: if Dick were to desert me to- morrow what should I do?''
7508Had I better send her to the hospital?''
7508Had n''t we better put it off until morning?''
7508Had not the doctor told her she required a little stimulant?
7508Had she not earned it, and was he going to rob her of it?
7508Had the place taken fire?
7508Has anything fresh happened?
7508Has he arrived yet?''
7508Have n''t I told you twenty times that there''s nothing between me and Miss Vane?
7508Have things gone pretty well with you?''
7508Have you ever heard how he fancied the waiter was calling him in the morning when the policeman was hauling him off to the station?''
7508Have you ever heard the waltz?''
7508Have you got any cigarettes?''
7508Have you got the ether?''
7508Have you had any bad news?''
7508Have you seen the piece?
7508Have you welcomed in another Charms you missed in me, and grace?
7508Have you, Vincent?''
7508He asked if she suffered from a sense of uncomfortable tension, fullness, weight, especially after meals; if she felt any pain in her right shoulder?
7508He said:''You did n''t know Dick before he came to lodge in your house at Hanley, did you?''
7508How are we to live if you come between me and my business?''
7508How are we to reduce expenses except by cutting down the salaries?''
7508How are you to meet me at the station?''
7508How can you talk like that?
7508How can you think that I would have my husband ill so that I might go to the theatre with Mr. Lennox?
7508How can-- you-- talk to me like that?
7508How could he define what were and what were not proper conversations for the dressing- rooms?
7508How could she expect him to think of her when he was thinking of his breath?
7508How could this be?
7508How did all this come about?''
7508How did your face get torn like that-- who''s been scratching you?''
7508How do you think she''ll do in the part?''
7508How far are the nearest?''
7508How long would she remain on the doorstep?
7508How''s business?''
7508How''s that?
7508I beg of--''''Oh, you wo n''t, wo n''t you?
7508I believe you''re going to nurse Mrs. Lennox through this illness?''
7508I ca n''t put it plainer than that, can I?''
7508I dare say it''s very amusing; but if you''d try to combine business with pleasure--- Now, who did I put in section one?''
7508I do n''t know Mrs. Wood, but it''s very kind of Mrs. West to recommend us; and how has Hender been getting on with the skirt?''
7508I do n''t think you''d tell me a lie; it would be too cruel, would n''t it?
7508I helped you famously, did n''t I, Miss Hender?''
7508I hope my poem touched a chord in your heart?
7508I knew her when she was so high, and it was I who gave her her first part, was n''t it, Lucy?''
7508I must get well; but tell me, doctor, how long will that take?''
7508I suppose the two little girls are here?''
7508I think the ring a very nice one; let''s see how it looks on your hand,''''You do n''t mean that I''m to wear it?''
7508I told you so, did n''t I?''
7508I want you to tell me how the pain in your side is?''
7508I was only going to take a little milk, I suppose there''s no harm in that?''
7508I wrote for them,''she replied, hesitating;''but do n''t you think--?''
7508I''ll go with you now, Mrs. Rawson, and you''ll perhaps come to- morrow, Dick, to see her?''
7508I''ll take off these things and we''ll go for a walk through the town-- will that do?
7508I''m afraid you wo n''t be able to eat it?''
7508If I did n''t love you, could I kiss you as I do?''
7508If it were wrong do you think I''d bring you in here?
7508If she had n''t why did she think of Villiers Street?
7508If you wanted to desert me, why did you ever take me away from Hanley?
7508In the newspapers that quoted from the original document?
7508Is he here?''
7508Is it contagious?
7508Is it the ten shillings a week he pays for his room and the few pence you make out of his breakfast you''re hankering after?''
7508Is n''t Annie going to marry the man who''s lost his wig?''
7508Is n''t he going to act it himself?
7508Is n''t it odd?
7508Is n''t it so, Mrs. Ede?
7508Is n''t what I say true?
7508Is the--?''
7508Is there no one here to save me?''
7508It was n''t a nice part, was it?''
7508It was n''t an undergra--?''
7508It was on her tongue to ask him why he had chosen to play the policeman, but all that was over; why should she trouble him with questions?
7508It would be dreadful to act so soon after my poor baby''s death, would n''t it?''
7508It''s sad to lose her, is n''t it?
7508Kate was asking herself the same question-- what was to become of her?
7508Kate, dear, what is the matter?
7508Lennox?''
7508Let him take you away from me?
7508Let me finish it for you--''that outweighs all other qualities''But does it?
7508Let me go, will you?''
7508Let me see, whom could we get to play in it?''
7508Lodgers often make love to their landladies; what would she do if Mr. Lennox made love to her?
7508May I suggest an emendation that will render the recitation more easy and more effective?''
7508Montgomery, will you oblige me by playing over that sailor- chorus?''
7508Montgomery?''
7508Mr. Lennox said he''d meet us here, did n''t he?''
7508New member of the com- company, eh?''
7508Not that little thing with fair hair who sings in the chorus?''
7508Now then, girls, are you ready?''
7508Now, Miss Leslie, ca n''t you wait until this rehearsal is over?''
7508Of course, I ca n''t judge at present what your complexion is; but have you noticed any yellowness about the skin lately?''
7508Of what could she be thinking?
7508Oh, Dick, what shall I do?''
7508Oh, what will become of me?
7508On the first landing he stopped her, and laying his hand on her arm, said,''And would you really be very glad if I were to stay with you?''
7508Or in absence are you true?
7508Perhaps he''s the man in white who is being dragged away from his bride?
7508Poor man, why should n''t he have a few friends up in the evening?
7508Ralph did not answer, but after a long silence he said:''It''s a pity, ai n''t it, that we did n''t pull it off better together?''
7508Saturday?
7508Shall I do you a book entitled_ Lovers in Lent_, or_ A Lover''s Lent_?
7508Shall I get you a glass of water?''
7508She asked herself passionately if she was always going to remain a slave and a drudge?
7508She had been drunk, she knew that, but where was Dick?
7508She passed away from him and entered her husband''s room, and Ralph said:''Well, who was it?''
7508She said:''Do you think it''s anything very dangerous?
7508Should he, or should he not, knock at the door?
7508Simpson?
7508So many poor girls are in trouble; how many in the crowd passing before her door?
7508Stopping long here?''
7508Suddenly a voice cried in a high key:''Who do you take me for, Dick?
7508Supposing my husband was to come in now and find us here?''
7508The giant snoring, and her baby stirring in her cradle with the limelight upon her, or was she dreaming?
7508The servant brought up two glasses of grog, and when Kate had taken off her bonnet, she said:''Do you think I''m much altered?''
7508Then, what time is it?''
7508They would all be friends yet; that is to say, if Mrs. Ede would permit of it; and why should she stand between people and make enemies of them?
7508They would work for their child; a boy or girl, which?
7508This was difficult to do, but, after a slight hesitation, she said:''Then you really do believe that Miss Leslie and Mr. Bret are lovers?''
7508Tuck into this plate of chicken; will you have a bit of tongue with it?''
7508Was Dick going to desert her?
7508Was I very violent?
7508Was it Ralph coming down the staircase?
7508Was it a distant country?
7508Was it a scene of revelry?
7508Was it not he who drove her to it?
7508Was it not her own money?
7508Was it possible that he was culpable?
7508Was it possible, he asked himself, that she would never love him again?
7508Was n''t I in a fright?
7508Was n''t I your husband once?''
7508Was she never going to do anything else but work?
7508Was that the way he cut his legs?
7508Was there a chance of their doing a bit of business in the town?
7508We have some very nice ones at two pounds ten; but perhaps you would not like to give so much?''
7508We''re just like strangers, so many things have occurred; I''ve married since-- but perhaps you did n''t hear of it?''
7508Well, then, we ca n''t have anyone better-- and what shall we take out?''
7508Were it not for you, do you think I should be drinking?
7508Were there any ladies there?
7508Were there bills up in all the public- houses?
7508Were they likely to do good business?
7508Were they or were they not going to accept half salaries?
7508Were you down at the bank cashing a cheque?''
7508What are you doing in London?''
7508What broader road could a woman hope to walk in than the one that lay before her in all its clear and bland serenity?
7508What can I do for you, dear?''
7508What can he be arranging?''
7508What could he do?
7508What could it mean?
7508What did he think?
7508What did it matter to her?
7508What did it matter whether Dick saw it or not?
7508What did she care for these actresses?
7508What did they want with him?
7508What do they say about me?
7508What do you fancy there is between us that makes you say such a thing as that?''
7508What do you mean?
7508What do you mean?''
7508What do you say to that?''
7508What do you say to two- ten?''
7508What do you say to_ The Happy Pair_?''
7508What do you think, Leslie?''
7508What do you think, Montgomery?
7508What do you think?''
7508What does he know?
7508What does it matter to you if I excite myself or not?''
7508What explanation would be given to them?
7508What had he been doing all this while?
7508What had she said to him?
7508What has happened?''
7508What have I done to offend you?
7508What have you got to say, my hero, to me about my rendering of these lines?
7508What lunch?
7508What more could she desire?
7508What pleasure could it be to her to see her lover, looking hideous, drag a bride away from her intended?
7508What right have I?
7508What shall I do?
7508What shall I say to him?''
7508What shall it be?''
7508What such as I in glory Compared with such as thee?
7508What then?''
7508What time is it now?''
7508What was it to her what they said or what they thought of her?
7508What was to be done?
7508What was to be done?
7508What would n''t you give to be straying about in those fresh woods far away?''
7508What''s the matter, dear?''
7508What''s the name of the hotel you were speaking of, Williams?''
7508What''s the screw?''
7508When he had mastered the contents a good- natured smile illumined his chub- cheeked face, and he said:''Well, what do you want to say?
7508Where are you staying?''
7508Where could she get them?
7508Where had he been?
7508Where had he gone?
7508Where have you been hiding yourself?''
7508Where have you been?
7508Where is it?''
7508Where shall I get in?''
7508Where was he now, she''d like to know?
7508Where were they now?
7508Where''s Montgomery?
7508Where''s that damned property- master?''
7508Where, then?
7508Which is the way?''
7508Which was she to believe?
7508White,''she said,''might I ask you to get me a jug of hot water?''
7508Who can say he has not lived before, and is it not as important to believe we lived herebefore as it is to believe we are going to live hereafter?
7508Who did you marry?''
7508Who has any liquor?
7508Who''s in love with the Countess?''
7508Why after all should n''t she marry Dick?
7508Why did he want to be always running after a lot of other women?
7508Why did n''t she take the rooms?''
7508Why did n''t she tell me that before?
7508Why did n''t you come down to the theatre?''
7508Why did you ever have anything to do with me?
7508Why do n''t you bring home the printed score?''
7508Why do you hesitate?''
7508Why had he done this thing?
7508Why had n''t she asked for this reparation before?
7508Why not go for a walk with Montgomery?''
7508Why should Dick desert you?
7508Why should I be angry?''
7508Why should I?
7508Why should n''t I spend the Sunday in Leamington and go to church?
7508Why should n''t I?
7508Why should n''t you stay if it pleases you, dear?
7508Why should she not go and fetch it, and insult him with the confession of her sin?
7508Why was n''t he faithful to her who had given up everything for him?
7508Why was she not rehearsing there with them?
7508Will you come near the fire?''
7508Will you do this thing for me?''
7508Will you let me feel your pulse?''
7508Will you let me feel?''
7508Will you let me have your room?''
7508Will you let me see them?''
7508Will you never care again for any of these fine ladies?''
7508Will you promise to come?''
7508Will you take my card?''
7508Wo n''t you come with me?''
7508Wood?''
7508Would he appear as a king, a monk, a shepherd, or would he wear a cocked hat?
7508Would her cold get worse or better?
7508Would it be possible for her to find work to do that would keep her mind away from the drink?
7508Would it not give them courage to work?
7508Would it not give them strength to live?
7508Would she never find happiness, then, in this world?
7508Would she never grow tired and sit down?
7508Would they learn to hate her?
7508Would you like an omelette?''
7508Would you like to be in my arms?''
7508Would you like to come to- night?''
7508Would you like to go in front?''
7508Written out by whom?
7508X''Is this the stage entrance?''
7508XIX''Well, what are you going to give her?
7508XXVII''Oh, Dick, dear, what did I do yesterday?
7508Yes, yes-- do you hear me?''
7508You did- didn''t expect to see me, did you?''
7508You do n''t want me to catch my death at the front door?''
7508You heard about the breaking up of Morton and Cox''s company?
7508You wo n''t tell him, will you, doctor?''
7508You would n''t put me in a madhouse, Dick?''
7508You''ll give"May the stars"first to the sopranos, and then repeat with the tenors and basses?''
7508You''ll protect me, wo n''t you?
7508You''re my friend as much as he, are n''t you?''
7508You''re not on bad terms with Dick, are you?
7508You''ve not finished with that yet?
7508Your husband deserted you; are n''t you free to live with whom you please?''
7508cried Montgomery, twisting his legs over the arm of the chair,''how is it I never heard of this before?
7508do n''t you, indeed?''
7508have n''t you told him yet?''
7508he said, drawing her aside;''shall I go and make my change now?
7508how can you speak so?''
7508how can you?''
7508how dare you talk to me like that?
7508is it you?''
7508said Dick,''do n''t you like being alone with me?''
7508said Ralph,''so he married you, did he?
7508what shall we do?
7508who is--?
7508you a father, Dick?''
7508you on the stage, Kate?''
21249A lie?
21249About Albert wanting to borrow a thousand pounds?
21249About father? 21249 About you wanting to be an architect?"
21249After your work?
21249Am I?
21249And I always understood that the eldest daughter''s-- what''s her name?
21249And Miss Lessways?
21249And Mr Orgreave?
21249And Mr Tom?
21249And do you read French in French, the Sunday?
21249And do you think it would be better for the Orgreaves to keep you, or for me?
21249And how long must he be kept off business?
21249And is it to be printed in silver?
21249And it does n''t worry you? 21249 And my other hat?"
21249And put all the prices down, as I told ye?
21249And shall you?
21249And the boy? 21249 And then what?"
21249And what about getting orders?
21249And what about th''floor?
21249And what about those specifications, young man?
21249And what are you going to do with yourself to- day, James?
21249And what dost mean by doing that and saying nowt? 21249 And what if I am?
21249And what next?
21249And what''s made ye settle on architecting, I''d like to be knowing?
21249And what''s_ your_ colour, James?
21249And where''s the proof?
21249And where''s yer rosette?
21249And which particular nephew is this? 21249 And why not?"
21249Any more coffee? 21249 Any servant in the house?"
21249Anybody in?
21249Anything wrong?
21249Are n''t they wonderful things?
21249Are there any books in this style to be got on that bookstall in Hanbridge Market?
21249Are they cooking it?
21249Are you going back the way you came? 21249 Are you going to look after the printing shop, or are n''t you?"
21249Are you going to sing to- night at the Dragon, Mr Yarlett?
21249Are you going to the Dragon?
21249Are you going to your office now?
21249Are you quite better, Mrs Orgreave?
21249Are you ready for tea, or are n''t you?
21249Are you sure he''s all right?
21249Are you sure?
21249Are you?
21249Are_ you_?
21249At this time of night? 21249 Bart''s, is it?
21249Beethoven, is it?
21249Better have your overcoat off, had n''t you?
21249Bit of all right, is she?
21249But I keep asking you-- what then?
21249But Mr Smallrice is very old, is n''t he?
21249But did n''t she understand I was coming early?
21249But did n''t the men ask for the time of year to be changed?
21249But has she been writing to you lately?
21249But have n''t you got any money?
21249But how can I get orders?
21249But how did you do in winter?
21249But if you do n''t supply new books any more?
21249But if you think it''s damp, it is damp, is n''t it? 21249 But is there any real danger?"
21249But now and then He comes into your head, does n''t He? 21249 But perhaps you do believe?"
21249But sha n''t you tell Janet?
21249But surely he is n''t fit to travel?
21249But what about his crying? 21249 But what are you going to do?"
21249But what do you do it for?
21249But what good''s a pound a week?
21249But what is there to do?
21249But what sort of influenza is it? 21249 But what''s that got to do with it?"
21249But what?
21249But who''ll take you to Knype Station?
21249But why did n''t you call me?
21249But why? 21249 But you belong to the Five Towns, do n''t you?"
21249But you do n''t suppose the masters were going to agree to that, do you?
21249But--Edwin''s rapid, breaking voice interrupted eagerly the deep majestic tones--"aren''t you tired the next day?
21249But, Edwin, how''s that?
21249But--"But what?
21249But--"Has n''t Maggie told you? 21249 By the way, what''s his temperature to- night?"
21249By the way,Edwin added,"I suppose you have n''t got a map of Brighton?"
21249By the way,he murmured,"what''s_ Mr_ Cannon?"
21249Ca n''t I go into this garden? 21249 Ca n''t I grow mushrooms in my own cellar?"
21249Ca n''t ye sit still a bit?
21249Ca n''t you help Maggie to push that sewing- machine into the corner?
21249Ca n''t you see it painted all over the boat?
21249Ca n''t_ we_?
21249Can I go?
21249Can I have a cab?
21249Can I speak to you?
21249Can we go and see the saggers now?
21249Can we see Mr Lovatt?
21249Can you give me those measurements, Maggie?
21249Can you imagine it? 21249 Cannon?
21249Charles Orgreave is n''t married, is he?
21249Charlie''s gone back?
21249Charlie,said his mother,"do you hear your father?"
21249Come in, will you?
21249Come into the drawing- room, will you? 21249 Come up where?"
21249Could anyone tell_ your_ real preferences from the way_ you_ talked and looked?
21249Could you come to- night? 21249 D''ye think architecting''ll be any better than this?"
21249D''ye want all th''street to hear ye?
21249Did Albert say anything to you?
21249Did I leave the side door open?
21249Did I say six, or five, in my note?
21249Did I say there was no virtue in believing?
21249Did I say` broker''s man''?
21249Did I tell you I''d made my will?
21249Did he send you up for me?
21249Did he?
21249Did n''t I offer you two and a half per cent on all new customers you got yourself? 21249 Did n''t you know?
21249Did n''t you see me cleaning the door- plate last night? 21249 Did n''t you?"
21249Did she?
21249Did ye ever speak there?
21249Did you ever see such a child?
21249Did you know I was in here?
21249Did you know I''ve had the influenza? 21249 Did you know him?"
21249Did you want me? 21249 Did you, dear?"
21249Did you?
21249Do I?
21249Do n''t feel like getting up, eh?
21249Do n''t you agree with me?
21249Do n''t you ever think about it?
21249Do n''t you know her? 21249 Do n''t you see what I mean?"
21249Do n''t you think he''s grown?
21249Do n''t you think it''s a bit tart?
21249Do n''t you?
21249Do n''t you?
21249Do n''t_ you_ think that some of it''s dullish, Teddy?
21249Do you hear?
21249Do you know what Clara and auntie are saying?
21249Do you know who wrote it?
21249Do you know why the dad''s gone to Heve?
21249Do you mean to say you can say a thing like that and then forget about it? 21249 Do you often sing at the Dragon, Mr Yarlett?"
21249Do you play?
21249Do you reckon,asked Darius, with mild cold scorn,"as you getting married will make your services worth one penny more to my business?"
21249Do you talk to your poor patients in that tone?
21249Do you think I could scramble through here?
21249Do you think I do n''t know all about that?
21249Do you think he''d drive you anywhere to- morrow?
21249Do you think--Darius glowered upon him with heavy, desolating scorn--"do you think as I''m going to let you sign my cheques for me?
21249Do you?
21249Do you?
21249Does it hurt?
21249Does she live in London?
21249Dr Heve? 21249 Edwin, are you asleep?"
21249Eh? 21249 Eh?"
21249Ever seen another pot- works like that?
21249Everything all right?
21249Father going to bed?
21249Father in?
21249Father,Edwin asked him suddenly,"would n''t you like to go to bed?"
21249Father? 21249 Funeral go off all right?"
21249Funny, is n''t it?
21249George? 21249 George?
21249Go off? 21249 Going to bed?"
21249Gone to Heve, has he? 21249 Got a halfpenny?
21249Got pins and needles?
21249Got''em in your pocket?
21249Had your tea?
21249Half and half?
21249Has father said anything to you about me wanting to be an architect?
21249Has he gone?
21249Has he made it?
21249Has he told you?
21249Has he? 21249 Has he?"
21249Has her?
21249Has n''t he come in yet?
21249Has she told you she wants to go over a printing works?
21249Have a drop?
21249Have n''t I been telling you for years you''re one of us?
21249Have n''t us had forty pound from Ameriky?
21249Have one?
21249Have you got a Bradshaw?
21249Have you read it?
21249Have you really?
21249Have you remembered about those blue bricks?
21249Have you seen the kid?
21249Have you?
21249Have you?
21249He''s been talking, then? 21249 Heard lately from Miss Lessways?"
21249Hello, doctor, is that you?
21249Her as came in the shop the other day?
21249Here-- where''s that glass of yours? 21249 Horse or boat?"
21249How are things-- across?
21249How came it that Mrs Cannon came and rummaged_ you_ out?
21249How can I tell?
21249How d''ye do, Clayhanger?
21249How d''ye think he''ll take it?
21249How d''you do, Mr Clayhanger?
21249How did I get''em? 21249 How do I know what your name is?
21249How do I know? 21249 How do they know he has n''t made it?"
21249How do you know I want the empty attic?
21249How do you know that?
21249How do you know? 21249 How do you know?"
21249How do you mean?
21249How do, Teddy?
21249How is Georgie?
21249How is he this evening?
21249How is he this morning?
21249How is it addressed?
21249How like all the rest?
21249How long have you been like that, George?
21249How long''s this been going on?
21249How long?
21249How many hands do you employ, Mr Clayhanger?
21249How much did they stick you for this lot?
21249How much do you owe?
21249How much sugar did you put in?
21249How old are you?
21249How old is he?
21249How old was he, about?
21249How soon shall you be down our way again?
21249How''s that? 21249 How''s the nurse?"
21249How?
21249Hurt yourself?
21249I suppose he''ll be all right, downstairs?
21249I suppose he''s in his right_ mind?_said Edwin.
21249I suppose it''s a free- and- easy at the Dragon, to- night, Mr Yarlett?
21249I suppose the floor''s as firm as rocks now?
21249I suppose they used up all the yellow clay there was here, long ago?
21249I suppose you have n''t got` The Light of Asia''in stock?
21249I suppose you know you''re behaving like a perfect fool?
21249I suppose you printers did something special among yourselves to celebrate the four- hundredth anniversary of the invention of printing?
21249I suppose you''re going to stay here all morning?
21249I suppose you''re like all the rest?
21249I think you said` The Light of Asia''?
21249I was asking ye, did ye ever speak there-- make a speech?
21249I wish you''d tell Miss Lessways I want to speak to her a moment, will you?
21249I wonder if you''d mind giving Janet a little parcel from me-- some things of George''s? 21249 I wonder,"said Edwin to himself,"what the devil''s going to happen now?
21249I''m sure you''re very grateful to your father, are n''t you, Edwin?
21249If that was cleared off, you could carry on, could n''t you? 21249 Is Amy''s cough better?"
21249Is Mr Clayhanger in?
21249Is he deaf?
21249Is he worse?
21249Is he?
21249Is her?
21249Is it Edwin?
21249Is it ready?
21249Is it the Male Glee Party?
21249Is it worth buying?
21249Is it?
21249Is my breakfast ready?
21249Is n''t it a beautiful sight?
21249Is she likely to be coming downstairs? 21249 Is she?"
21249Is that the ophicleide as thy father used to play at th''owd church?
21249Is that your cab outside?
21249Is this thy son, Darius?
21249It does n''t really matter what time it is, does it? 21249 It is annoying, is n''t it?"
21249It wo n''t be too soon if I pop in at the shop a little before eleven?
21249Janet and Maggie? 21249 Janet,"asked Mrs Orgreave,"will supper be ready?"
21249Just rest he wants?
21249Knocked up, has she?
21249Last night,Edwin began, without sitting down,"when you mentioned the broker''s man, were you joking, or did you mean it?"
21249Let me see, does he call himself a Liberal?
21249Let me see, it''s your birthday next month, is n''t it?
21249Let me see-- she used to be at-- what was it?--Preston Street?
21249Let''s get that overcoat off, eh?
21249Like to come up with your young lady friend?
21249Look at who?
21249Look here,he questioned amicably, meeting her eyes,"what do you think?
21249Made a will, have you?
21249Married?
21249Might I ask, sir, if Master''s in a bad way?
21249Might one ask who is the fortunate young gentleman?
21249Miss Lessways?
21249Mr Charles in?
21249Much?
21249Must n''t he, father?
21249Must you go to Brighton?
21249No message or anything?
21249No, what is it?
21249No?
21249Not Georgie?
21249Not gone to chapel?
21249Not in bed, is he?
21249Not really?
21249Nothing particular, but you did n''t hear him ringing in the night?
21249Now father, let''s have a bottle of wine, eh?
21249Now what do you say, Edwin?
21249Now, father,she said brusquely, entering the dining- room,"what''s amiss?"
21249Of course what they say is-- you''re the--"What do I care for that?
21249Of course,said Auntie Hamps,"you''re so difficult to talk to--""Difficult to talk to!--Me?"
21249Of the distraint?
21249Oh, how d''you do, Miss Orgreave?
21249Quid?
21249Rather delicate, was n''t it, you coming down and taking Stirling''s case off him?
21249Rather sudden, is n''t it?
21249Really? 21249 Really?"
21249Recites, does she?
21249Remains to be_ seen_?
21249Right? 21249 Ringing?
21249See this, my boy?
21249Seen Gladstone''s speech, I suppose?
21249Seen my latest, Charlie?
21249Sha n''t you go?
21249Shall I cut it up for you, father?
21249Shall I go into the bedroom?
21249Shall I go?
21249Shall I make you some nice hot tea?
21249Shall I put the gas out, or will you?
21249Shall I send the barber up, or shall you let it grow?
21249Shall I?
21249Shall you be at Brighton long?
21249Shall you be going back to Bursley soon?
21249Shall you be in to- morrow morning, auntie?
21249She does n''t mean any other train?
21249She wo n''t let you be out after half- past ten, eh, Benbow?
21249Shelves?
21249Should ye?
21249Sit down, will you?
21249Sit down, will you?
21249So that''s it, is it?
21249So ye''d leave the printing?
21249So you know?
21249So you''re installed?
21249So you''ve seen my boy?
21249Supper? 21249 Supposing I do n''t help you?
21249Supposing I wanted to get married?
21249Sure?
21249Surely his temperature''s gone up?
21249That''s all very well, miss,said the policeman,"but who''s going to get him to the platform?
21249The Blood Tub?
21249The bailiffs still here?
21249The lion''s den, eh?
21249The others? 21249 Them prize books-- have ye done all that?"
21249Then Mr Smallrice will be there?
21249Then do they make it white?
21249Then nobody of any importance has yet gone into the assembly room?
21249Then the old crocks were yellow?
21249Then what about` trusting to the people''?
21249Then who is to do it?
21249Then why did n''t you come?
21249Then why did you do it for her?
21249Then why do they make the things here?
21249There wo n''t be time to get something at the refreshment room?
21249They''re losing, are n''t they?
21249Those your cigarettes?
21249To- night?
21249Unconscious, is he?
21249Up yonder?
21249Upstairs?
21249Want a swing,he suggested,"before I have to go off to business?"
21249Was it long since?
21249Was it open?
21249Was it?
21249Was there?
21249We''re having very rough weather, are n''t we?
21249Well then,he asked,"who_ is_ going to sign cheques?"
21249Well, and what did you say?
21249Well, do n''t you think we''d better find them somehow?
21249Well, do you owe anything else?
21249Well, had n''t he better see a doctor?
21249Well, he is n''t my nephew at all really, but we pretend he is, do n''t we, George? 21249 Well, want any more?"
21249Well, what?
21249Well, why do n''t you?
21249Well, will you eat something?
21249Well, you did n''t suppose degrees and things had anything to do with it, did you?
21249Well,Maggie continued, with her mild persistence,"Aunt Spenser told me--""Who''s Aunt Spenser, in God''s name?"
21249Well,Mr Clayhanger warningly inquired,"what do you say to your aunt?"
21249Well,said Clara,"you do n''t see me walking up and down the streets all morning, do you?
21249Well,said Edwin, laughing,"if you could remember the swing why could n''t you remember the windows?"
21249Well,said Janet, earnestly looking at him,"how do you like the effect of that window, now it''s done?"
21249Well,said she tranquilly,"how is he?"
21249Well,she said,"is n''t it?"
21249Well?
21249Well?
21249Well?
21249What about it?
21249What about money?
21249What about that Home Rule?
21249What about that fifty pounds?
21249What about that matter of Enoch Peake''s?
21249What about the Bible class?
21249What about the railway station?
21249What about this tea, Janet?
21249What about?
21249What am I doing here?
21249What am I doing here?
21249What am I thinking of?
21249What are you going to do?
21249What are you standing there for?
21249What are you up to?
21249What are you worrying at?
21249What art doing at this time o''night, lad?
21249What art doing?
21249What art up to?
21249What be these?
21249What can that be?
21249What d''ye think?
21249What did I tell ye?
21249What did I tell ye?
21249What did the doctor say?
21249What did ye leave th''front door open for?
21249What did you do?
21249What did you say?
21249What did you want to get on the wall for?
21249What do I want?
21249What do we do it for? 21249 What do you mean--`if he takes after his mother''?"
21249What do you say?
21249What do you think of him as a doctor?
21249What do you think?
21249What do you think?
21249What do you want, mother?
21249What does Stirling say about telegraphing?
21249What does your father say to that?
21249What does_ she_ know?
21249What for?
21249What for?
21249What have you been doing?
21249What have_ you_ been doing?
21249What if I have?
21249What in the name of God''s the use o''me telling ye things? 21249 What is a sagger?"
21249What is it? 21249 What is it?"
21249What is it?
21249What is it?
21249What is it?
21249What is it?
21249What is n''t?
21249What majority?
21249What on earth are you trying to get at?
21249What on earth''s up?
21249What particular street did you want, sir?
21249What shall you do? 21249 What sort of influenza is it?
21249What the deuce is she after?
21249What time was that?
21249What time''s that?
21249What time?
21249What was that?
21249What was the good?
21249What what is?
21249What''ll the old people say?
21249What''s Charlie gone for?
21249What''s all this? 21249 What''s all this?"
21249What''s amiss wi''ye all?
21249What''s amiss with th''old gentleman?
21249What''s he been up to?
21249What''s he like now?
21249What''s my object? 21249 What''s she like?"
21249What''s that noise?
21249What''s the matter?
21249What''s the matter?
21249What''s this as I hear?
21249What''s this business o''mine for, if it isna''for you?
21249What''s this parcel on the sideboard?
21249What''s this?
21249What''s up now, James?
21249What''s up?
21249What''s up?
21249What''s up?
21249What''s up?

21249What?
21249What?
21249What?
21249When are we going to rearrange all this?
21249When are you going home?
21249When did you hear?
21249When shall you come back?
21249When was it?
21249When will you come to look over our works? 21249 When?"
21249When?
21249When?
21249Where are they?
21249Where are you going, father?
21249Where are you going?
21249Where are you off to?
21249Where can I write to?
21249Where do you suppose I''m going? 21249 Where does that there clay come from?"
21249Where is he?
21249Where is he?
21249Where is the bailiff- johnny?
21249Where you been, old gentleman?
21249Where''s Maggie?
21249Where''s Nurse?
21249Where''s father?
21249Where''s father?
21249Where''s father?
21249Where''s that old pram?
21249Where''s the telegram sent from?
21249Where''ve you been?
21249Where?
21249Whether he wants to or not?
21249White, like that?
21249Who brought this?
21249Who do_ you_ think, mister?
21249Who is it?
21249Who is to keep you if I do n''t? 21249 Who told you that?"
21249Who told you?
21249Who''s Huskisson?
21249Who''s Mrs Chris Hamson?
21249Who''s everybody?
21249Who''s going to help me down?
21249Who''s in?
21249Who''s master here? 21249 Who''s there?"
21249Who''s there?
21249Who''s throwing?
21249Who''st been running after?
21249Who''st been running after?
21249Who?
21249Why am I doing this?
21249Why am I doing this?
21249Why are n''t you doing those prizes he told you to do?
21249Why are people like that in the Five Towns?
21249Why are they boarding it up, Mr Orgreave?
21249Why are you thinking so much about your will?
21249Why can Mr Smallrice sing such high notes?
21249Why could n''t I keep away? 21249 Why could n''t we have let him grow his mushrooms if he wanted to?
21249Why did I go near her?
21249Why did n''t you ask Auntie Janet to bring you?
21249Why do n''t I go home? 21249 Why do they bring clay all the way from Runcorn?"
21249Why is she so bound to stay in Brighton?
21249Why must she deliberately go and draw attention to that?
21249Why not?
21249Why not?
21249Why not?
21249Why not?
21249Why the deuce do I want to cry?
21249Why was her husband a convict? 21249 Why''s he wearing his best clothes?"
21249Why, whatever''s the matter with you, my dear?
21249Why? 21249 Why?
21249Why?
21249Why?
21249Why?
21249Why?
21249Why?
21249Why?
21249Will Big James be working?
21249Will you come this way?
21249Will you eat something now?
21249Will you show me the yellow clay?
21249Will you to- morrow?
21249Wo n''t upset him?
21249Work? 21249 Working off Sunday dinner, eh?"
21249Would you come in some evening and see us? 21249 Would you like to try it now?"
21249Would you mind telling me the time?
21249Ye know him as I mean?
21249Yes, but do you know you''re practising breaking my windows too? 21249 Yes, love?"
21249Yes,said Edwin cheerfully;"you''re a bit better now, are n''t you?"
21249Yes?
21249You and he were great chums, were n''t you? 21249 You are n''t ashamed of your own opinions, are you?"
21249You are n''t going to work, are you, Osmond?
21249You did?
21249You do n''t think much of it?
21249You do n''t want me to thank you a lot, do you?
21249You do n''t?
21249You do?
21249You know all about that, do n''t you?
21249You must have some plans?
21249You remember the influenza of''89, Edwin?
21249You think so?
21249You used to grow a full beard once, did n''t you?
21249You were n''t like that when you started, surely?
21249You wo n''t forget?
21249You would n''t do it, would ye?
21249You''ll come in again soon?
21249You''re a Felon, are n''t you, dad?
21249You''re in that hospital, are n''t you?
21249You''re very fond of poetry, are n''t you?
21249You''ve finished seeing him then, doctor?
21249You''ve read it, of course, Clayhanger?
21249You-- you said six or seven years, did n''t you? 21249 _ Do n''t_ you?"
21249_ Is n''t_ it a good thing I brought him?
21249_ Is_ there?
21249_ You_ are n''t leaving us?
21249( The thought crossed his mind:"I suppose he has n''t been having a drop too much, for once in a way?
21249... Cheered the old man up at all?"
21249... Could he not get Hilda out of his bones?
21249... How had he done it?
21249... Or to- morrow night?"
21249... Why does she ask you to go and play at tennis?
21249A moment later, Maggie came from the kitchen and asked--"Going to bed, father?"
21249A new year, and a new start, and we shall see how neat and spruce you''ll keep yourself in future, eh?"
21249After a pause he said:"They''ve left you all alone, then?"
21249After all, what was its importance?
21249Albert coming?"
21249All father''s houses are so nice, are n''t they?"
21249All his sprawling limbs were saying:"What does it matter, so long as we get there?"
21249All night?"
21249Alone?
21249And Charlie''s twinkling glance said condescendingly:"What''s the old cock got hold of now?
21249And Edwin thought:"Why does n''t she tell him straight out he''s done for?"
21249And added in her kindest, most encouraging, elder- sisterly tone:"Why?"
21249And could he himself have been deceived in his estimate of her character?
21249And had she not the right to be?
21249And he thought:"Supposing after all the kid does n''t come through?"
21249And how could he discuss such a humiliating question with Hilda?
21249And how many have you got?
21249And she was thirty- four-- was it?
21249And still further-- should Darius be taken away for a period to the sea, or Buxton, or somewhere?
21249And then his business?
21249And then, after a pause, he asked:"Will it last long?"
21249And then, under the stimulus of Osmond''s energetic and adventurous temperament, he had said to himself,"Why not?
21249And to himself,"What on earth does he want here, making his noises?"
21249And was she aware that he knew?
21249And what was her demeanour, up there in the bedroom?
21249And what would Clara have said, had she been at home?
21249And what''s going to happen to her in that hole?
21249And what''s it got to do with you?"
21249And who could judge better than he?
21249And why not?
21249And why not?"
21249And withal he could uneasily ask himself,"Am I happy?"
21249And would he be able to read to- morrow night?
21249And yet was there not the wisdom of centuries in,"I do n''t generally ask for things that I really want?"
21249And yet what could he have done that he had not done?
21249And yet why should she desire to interfere with the course of the friendship?
21249And yet, before they reached the top of the stairs, he heard himself saying in a concerned whisper--"You know about the Vicar of Saint Peter''s?"
21249And yet, on reflection, had he not always found in his father a peculiar ingenuousness, which he could not but look down upon?
21249And:"How much did they ask ye for these?"
21249Any charge?"
21249Anything else they told you at the Bank?"
21249Are n''t they in front?
21249Are n''t they, Edwin?"
21249Are n''t you?"
21249Are we nearly there?"
21249As Johnnie is n''t in, would you mind--""Stirling, I suppose?"
21249As she made no response, he continued:"Anybody else besides the Orgreaves?"
21249As soon as Charlie caught sight of Edwin he exclaimed to Janet--"Where''s my bob?"
21249As soon as the kiss was accomplished-- no other greeting of any kind occurred-- Clara turned sharply to Edwin--"What''s this about father?"
21249Astounded and frightened by those shimmering tears, Edwin exclaimed,"You do n''t mean to say there''s actual danger?"
21249At last she said:` Look here, Charlie, will you come, or wo n''t you?''"
21249At the shop,"Stifford,"he had said,"I suppose you do n''t happen to know a good hotel in Brighton?
21249At your place?"
21249Besides, did not everybody know what softening of the brain was?
21249Besides, she allured... And, after her scene with him in the porch of the new house, had he not the right?
21249Big James nodded, and said quietly,"And how''s the old gentleman, sir?"
21249But a hand was slapped on his shoulder, and a jolly voice said--"Now, Edwin, where''s this road leading you to on a Sunday night?"
21249But after all, what was the matter with the dining- room?
21249But as the day passed, Edwin began to ask himself:"Has he had the letter?"
21249But at frequent intervals recurred the query:"What the devil am I up to?"
21249But did her parents know?
21249But did she?
21249But even if it were an original epigrammatic pearl-- was that an adequate reason for her following him to an empty house at dead of night?
21249But have n''t you driven it late?
21249But is it true?
21249But the other day I happened to be reading the new history of printing, you know-- Cranswick''s, is n''t it?"
21249But was it not simplicity?
21249But was she?
21249But what could I do?
21249But what should he say when they asked him why he had not asked the doctor for a name?
21249But what then?
21249But what then?
21249But what would_ he_ say next?
21249But what?
21249By what?
21249Ca n''t I talk?
21249Ca n''t they see that selling prices ought to depend on wages?"
21249Ca n''t you see I''ve got my other clothes on?"
21249Ca n''t you tell that from my handwriting?
21249Can you imagine such a thing happening to Maggie, for instance?
21249Can you tell me that?
21249Clara asked, as if saying ironically,"Has n''t it occurred to you even yet that a doctor ought to be fetched?"
21249Clara''s?
21249Could he bring himself to desolate her by a refusal?
21249Could he call on the Orgreaves in garments like those?
21249Could he meet her without giving her the impression that he was a conceited ass?
21249Could he meet her without revealing by his mere guilty glance that his aunt had half convinced him that he had only to ask nicely in order to receive?
21249Could his father have expired in one of those frantic bouts with his enemy?
21249Could it be the Sunday''s voice?
21249Could the reason be any other than her interest in himself?
21249Could you get a servant in, in time for these three sisters?"
21249D''ye think as I ca n''t turn ye all out of it neck and crop, if I''ve a mind?
21249D''you think I do n''t know the town as well as you?
21249Darius muttered, leaning on the spade, as though demanding in stupefaction,"What on earth can you want the keys for?"
21249Did Janet know?
21249Did any of them ever surmise that they had never come within ten miles of life itself, that they were attaching importance to the most futile trifles?
21249Did any one want me?"
21249Did anyone?
21249Did his father know, in that sick brain of his, that he was condemned; or did he hope to recover?
21249Did n''t Miss Clayhanger tell you?"
21249Did n''t they tell you in your house?
21249Did n''t you know he''s one of the principal stewards in Saint Luke''s Square?
21249Did n''t you know?"
21249Did not the Orgreaves worship her?
21249Did she discuss him and his affairs with everybody?
21249Did she know anything?
21249Did she sleep in his bones like a malady that awakes whenever it is disrespectfully treated?
21249Did the old devil suppose that he would be capable of asking his wife to find the resources which he himself could not bring?
21249Did they tell you?"
21249Did you mean it when you said-- you know, at supper-- that there''s no virtue in believing?"
21249Do n''t you think so?
21249Do they, really?"
21249Do you know how long she''s been a widow?"
21249Do you want her?"
21249During a general election the question put by a customer to a printer is not,"How much will it be?"
21249Each seemed to be inquiring:"What does_ he_ know?"
21249Edwin asked himself,"Can any one be so excited as that about a book?"
21249Edwin concurred, with pathetic eagerness, and added a piece of information for his father:"I''m only sixteen, are n''t I?"
21249Edwin had possibly caught the infection at Knype Railway Station: yet who could tell?
21249Edwin had replied:"Not the Metropole, then?"
21249Edwin protested with a movement of impatience--"What on earth for?
21249Edwin reluctantly left George for an instant and hurried to the window,"I say, Maggie, bring a chair or something out, will you?
21249Edwin said to himself:"Is it possible that he has come down specially to see this Hilda?"
21249Edwin trembled as he put the question--"Is she here too-- Mrs Cannon?"
21249Eh?"
21249Father?"
21249For what crime?
21249George, yes-- but George what?
21249George?"
21249Had he the initiative and the energy to carry out such an enterprise?
21249Had his adventurousness, his foolhardiness, indeed carried him so far?
21249Had she not said that she had never met anybody like him?
21249Had she the right to play fast and loose with him like that?
21249Had the entire household taken laudanum?
21249Had they no shame?
21249Had_ she_, in the meantime, come into the hall of the house and extinguished the gas?
21249Has he left any instructions about those specifications for the Shawport Board School?"
21249Has it happened?"
21249Hast told Edwin?"
21249Have I told ye not to take any more orders for books, or have n''t I?
21249Have a drink?"
21249Have n''t I said over and over again that I want this shop to be known for wholesale?"
21249Have n''t you seen her about?"
21249Have they said naught to you?"
21249Have you got any other friends who''ll stand by you?"
21249He asked himself:"Why should I get myself into this state simply because she is here?
21249He asked me afterwards,` Was that your right?''
21249He could not bring himself to demand bluntly of Heve:"Well, what''s the matter with him?"
21249He had even said to his father:"I suppose the big Columbia will be running off those overseer notices this afternoon?"
21249He had said:"What does it matter whether I am an architect or a printer, so long as I improve myself to the best of my powers?"
21249He looked at Edwin:"Will you take me to see it?
21249He might have gasped, foolish and tottering:"Why-- what''s the meaning of this?
21249He said to himself--"Why should n''t I be happy?
21249He tried to be nonchalant"When are you going?"
21249He walked on a little, and broke forth again, all to himself:"Of course he''s doing it solely in your interest, is n''t he?
21249He wanted to ask her,"Why did you call him Edwin for his second name?
21249He was in Preston Street, but what could he do?
21249He was under the obligation to say` No''to her innocent and delightful request; and yet could he say` No''?
21249He wondered how the affair would end?
21249He worked, saved, improved his mind, voted right, practised philosophy, and was generally benevolent; but to what end?
21249Heve?
21249Hilda Lessways?
21249His eye wandered among his family, and it said, terrorised, and yet feebly defiant,"What are they plotting against me?
21249Honestly?
21249How can I show you if you do n''t leave go?"
21249How could any man in his senses expect the old floor to withstand such a terrific strain as that to which Darius had at last dared to subject it?
21249How could even Hilda communicate her sympathy to that spirit, withdrawn and inaccessible?
21249How could he hold her back from Brighton?
21249How could it react unpleasantly on her?
21249How could the doctor tell?
21249How do I get''em?
21249How had his father''s clumsy, slow intellect been able to cope with the dangerous intricacies of the Stock Exchange?
21249How had she managed it?
21249How in heaven''s name could the woman talk in that strain?
21249How indeed would it end?
21249How long''s he been on this mushroom tack?"
21249How much does father take off in the shilling to auntie when she buys anything?"
21249How much does she know about me and Hilda?
21249How ought he to talk to the child concerning God?
21249How shall you get money?
21249How should I know?"
21249How to justify it?
21249How?
21249I always open all telegrams that come here, do n''t I, mother?"
21249I could-- No, I suppose you want it at once?"
21249I didn''t-- Suppose I come after supper for a bit?"
21249I do n''t know why?"
21249I expect you are n''t thinking of settling down here?"
21249I named him after you... Do you think that if dreams could make him your child-- he would n''t be yours?"
21249I said to her,` But suppose you had n''t caught me at home?
21249I said, What about my patients here?
21249I say-- shall you be coming to Brighton soon?"
21249I suppose people rather like that Scotch accent of his, down here?"
21249I suppose you''ve seen,"he looked particularly at his auntie,"that your friend Parnell''s dead?"
21249I was sitting there, by the fire, and I thought I noticed something--""What did you notice?"
21249If Hilda were joking, what answer could be made to such a pleasantry in such a situation?
21249If scorn could have annihilated, there would have been no proletariat left in the division... Men?
21249If she''s told her about her husband why should n''t she have told her about me?
21249In such an abode, and so close to the Orgreaves, what could he not do?
21249In the Five Towns how many printing offices were there that might at some time or another be in need of a manager?
21249In the garden porch?
21249In what terms should he telegraph to her to- morrow?
21249Instead of saying,"Why not?"
21249Is he going to starve?"
21249Is he in pain?"
21249Is it me, or is it the cat?
21249Is n''t he bound to listen?
21249It comes round by sea-- see?"
21249It is rather sudden, is n''t it?"
21249Leave him?"
21249Left old Who- is- it?"
21249Master Charlie''s, are they?
21249Moreover, if she came alone would he be equal to the situation?
21249Mrs Hamps''s eyes, swimming in the satisfaction of several simultaneous woes, said plainly,"What about poor Maggie?"
21249Never writes to you, I suppose?"
21249Now are you sure you see?"
21249Now suppose I start on it as soon as Mrs Nixon has brought the pudding and pie in?"
21249Now, Edwin, you''re coming, are n''t you?"
21249Now, d''ye understand?"
21249On Saturday Darius said to his son, good- humouredly--"Canst be trusted to pay wages?"
21249Or Janet?"
21249Or did he alone possess the true insight?
21249Or did she lie in bed?
21249Or was it that she saw in him an oracle, and caused him to see with her?
21249Or was she a prodigy among young women, who read histories of everything in addition to being passionate about verse?
21249Or was she commonplace?
21249Or was that fancy?
21249Or would Mr Orgreave walk right over him and talk exclusively to his father?
21249Ought he to go to the Dragon?
21249Ought he to have continued to run after a married woman?
21249Pride?
21249See what I mean?"
21249See?
21249Shall I ask?"
21249Shall you be long?"
21249She said in a trembling voice--"I should never have come to the Five Towns again, if you hadn''t--""Why not?"
21249She''s past being upset-- she''s been through so much-- haven''t you, you poor dear?"
21249She''s still at Brighton?"
21249Should he fetch Maggie and then go for the doctor?
21249Should he knock, discreetly, and ask if he could be of help?
21249Since when?"
21249Sneaking--""What do you mean by calling me a thief?"
21249Sometimes he would ask,"Am I dressing or undressing?"
21249Supposing he died?
21249Supposing it_ had_ been a nuisance, supposing he_ had_ tried to kiss Jane, supposing he_ had_ hurt himself, what then?
21249Supposing there_ is_ danger?
21249Supposing you hurt yourself?"
21249Surely they do n''t give that long for bigamy?"
21249That do?"
21249The day after to- morrow, is n''t it?
21249The first question I put was-- has he been in a stupor?
21249The idea flashed through Edwin''s head:"Did she leave her handkerchief on purpose, so that we should have to come back here?"
21249The whole of his body went hot and then cold as his mind presented the simple question:"Why had she been reading the history of printing?"
21249Then Albert''s said naught to ye?"
21249Then turning again to Edwin:"Are you a Bradlaugh man?"
21249Third?"
21249This takes you to the shop, does it?
21249Threadbare in places?
21249Threadbare?
21249To- morrow?
21249Towards the close of the meal, Mr Orgreave said--"Well, Edwin, what does your father say about Bradlaugh?"
21249Under what circumstances?
21249Understand?
21249Unless she also had marked their deviation into the Cock Yard, why had she glanced behind her in asking where they were?
21249Unruly?
21249Very, very late, was n''t it?"
21249Was he not also to be sympathised with?
21249Was he, with his scorn of his father, his brains, his orderliness, doing better or worse than his father in the business?
21249Was it a sob?
21249Was it his father''s name, or your father''s, or did_ you_ insist on it yourself, because--?"
21249Was it not injurious to have snapped at him, when he refused her invitation to stand by her against the wall in the porch,"You need n''t be afraid"?
21249Was not his existence miserable and his career a respectable fiasco?
21249Was she deceiving him?
21249Was she the most wondrous?
21249Was that she?
21249Was the boy worse?
21249Was the tale of his father''s indisposition spread all over the Five Towns?
21249Was there a long and secret understanding between these two?
21249Was there another creature, male or female, to whom he would have dared to say what he had said to her?
21249Was this a Brighton boarding- house?
21249We''ve just been down to the post- office to send off a telegram, have n''t we, George?"
21249Well, and what then?
21249Well, of course, when she talked seriously like that, what could I do?"
21249Well, you''ll come to- morrow afternoon?"
21249Well?"
21249What a night, is n''t it?
21249What about father?"
21249What about my collars?"
21249What about_ her_ needing a change?''
21249What are we to do?"
21249What caused it?
21249What controlled its frequency?
21249What could I say?
21249What could anybody have said?
21249What could he do if he stayed at home?
21249What could he do?
21249What could he do?
21249What could he immediately and effectively do?
21249What could he say?
21249What could it matter to his father whether he was a printer or not?
21249What could it matter?
21249What could she have said?
21249What could you reply to such speeches?
21249What did he say?"
21249What did she guess?
21249What did she mean?
21249What did the curtains know of history?
21249What did they know about life?
21249What difference could it possibly make whether you were a widow or not?"
21249What do you do?
21249What do you mean?"
21249What do you mean?"
21249What do you say to a turn round the town-- playground way?
21249What do you think of that, Edwin?"
21249What do you think yourself?"
21249What does Mrs Nixon do?
21249What does it matter?''
21249What else was there for me to do except be silent?
21249What had he done for himself?
21249What had she said to the Orgreaves?
21249What harm would it have done us?
21249What have I said?"
21249What importance had a private oath?
21249What in the name of God Almighty do you think will turn up?"
21249What in the name of God was she driving at?
21249What in the name of God was there to attract in bricks and mortar?
21249What is it?"
21249What made me offer to come with her?
21249What might his life not be with a woman like Janet, brilliant, beautiful, elegant, and faithful?
21249What more could he do, except expire with the minimum of fuss?
21249What next?"
21249What next?"
21249What now?
21249What on earth could the Sunday have found to tell them every day about_ him_?
21249What other girl could or would have written such a phrase?
21249What should you have said, eh, my boy?
21249What sort is he?"
21249What sort of a duffer would he have appeared had he been obliged to reply` No''?
21249What sort of work?"
21249What then, I keep asking you?
21249What time did he come home?
21249What time?"
21249What use?
21249What was at the back of it all?
21249What was it?
21249What was the object or the use of his being alive?
21249What was the process of softening?
21249What was there in that face judged impartially?
21249What were they?
21249What were those two doing upstairs with the boy?
21249What would the second be?
21249What would you?
21249What''s a pandemic, now?"
21249What''s five minutes?"
21249What''s happened?"
21249What''s my tongue for?
21249What''s that got to do with you?"
21249What''s that?
21249What''s that?"
21249What''s the result?"
21249What''s this?
21249What,--his sister?
21249What?
21249When did you come?"
21249When did you have your last meal?"
21249When he asked her` What about_ her_ health?
21249When he had come to an agreement with Big James as to the execution of the order, the latter said--"Would you step below a minute, Mr Edwin?"
21249When the great clumsy figure, with its wet cheeks, stood in trousers, shirt, and socks, Edwin said,"You''re all right now, are n''t you?"
21249When they came again to the Blood Tub, she said--"Could n''t we just go and look in?
21249When they reached the corner of the street leading to Lane End House, Osmond Orgreave said, stopping--"Now you''ll come with us?"
21249When would somebody come?
21249Whence had it suddenly sprung, that flame?
21249Whence had she obtained that eighty pounds?
21249Whence the change in himself?
21249Where did ye get it from?
21249Where did ye have yer last drink?"
21249Where had flown his seriousness, his elaborate plans, his high purposes?
21249Where was hers hidden away, her pathetic little boarding- house?
21249Where was she?
21249Where''s the sense of it?
21249Where''s your bit of chamois?"
21249Where?
21249Where?"
21249Where_ did_ ye get it from?
21249Which one is it?"
21249Who could credit that, less than a fortnight earlier, it had stood equally majestic, solid, and immovable in Manchester?
21249Who could deny that Auntie Clara was not an extraordinary, an original, and a generous woman?
21249Who is she?"
21249Who was he to ask so much from destiny?
21249Why an architect, specially?
21249Why are they all here like this?"
21249Why ca n''t I be glib?
21249Why ca n''t I be natural?
21249Why could n''t we let him do what he wanted?"
21249Why could not Heve tell him at once fully and candidly what was in his mind?
21249Why did he come round into the garden?")
21249Why did n''t you tell me when I was at Brighton?"
21249Why did she challenge him by her singular attitude?
21249Why did she gaze at him with such particularity, as though he possessed a special interest in Hilda?
21249Why do n''t you come in?"
21249Why do n''t you look facts in the face?
21249Why does n''t he pick some of these paintresses out of the mud and give them a drive?"
21249Why go to London?
21249Why go to gaze on it again?
21249Why had Albert and Clara and Auntie Hamps all of them come up just at supper- time?
21249Why had he not prepared the ground in advance?
21249Why had he not spoken out clearly?
21249Why had he refused Janet''s invitation?
21249Why have n''t I mentioned it before?
21249Why have n''t I talked about it all the time?
21249Why in the name of God did n''t I begin by writing to her?
21249Why not at her house?
21249Why not begin a New Year then, in that minute?
21249Why not for him as well as for another?
21249Why not?
21249Why read?
21249Why should I?"
21249Why should he be to so absurd a degree curious about her?
21249Why should he make such a confidence to Big James?
21249Why should he not be happy?
21249Why should he not enjoy himself?
21249Why should he not go?
21249Why should he not he happy?
21249Why should he not wake up out of his nightmare and begin to live?
21249Why should his sisters have been spared and he doomed?
21249Why should his tone have been self- conscious, forced?
21249Why should n''t I?"
21249Why should their demeanour be so false an index to their real feelings?
21249Why should they choose just this place to make crocks in?
21249Why should they gather like this at the first hint that his father was not well?
21249Why should this be so?
21249Why then commit follies of prudence, when the existing arrangement of things` would do''?
21249Why this excess of devotion?
21249Why was he always like a baby in presence of his father?
21249Why was it?
21249Why was she always saying such queer things to him?
21249Why were not pots made in the South, where the clay came from?
21249Why will you not ask for a white elephant so that I may prove my devotion?"
21249Why wo n''t it be a good thing?
21249Why?
21249Why?"
21249Will they win?"
21249Will you come and see mother?
21249Will you come in?"
21249Will you have some?"
21249With influenza?"
21249With what could he reproach himself?
21249Would Mr Orgreave, of whom he had seen scarcely anything in seven years, remember that he was intelligently interested in architecture?
21249Would he and Maggie be able to do the thing naturally?
21249Would he be able to carry the thing off in a manner adequate?
21249Would not the change be good for him?
21249Would she be that night in Brighton?
21249You are n''t surprised, are you?"
21249You do n''t know what a sagger is, I reckon?"
21249You do n''t mean--""You remember Mrs Cannon, do n''t you?
21249You do n''t suppose he ever talks to me about his affairs, do you?
21249You see?
21249You were still second to- day, were n''t you, my boy?"
21249You''d better go now, had n''t you?"
21249You''re very fond of books, are n''t you?"
21249You_ see_?"
21249_ You_ do n''t think there''s anything in it, do you, Maggie?"
21249` Happen you''ve gone to bed, Clara?''
21249` Who''s there?''
21249but"How soon can I have it?"
21249in response to her"How d''you do, Mr Clayhanger?"
21249murmured Maggie, in surprise; and to Edwin,"Do you know?"
21249she demanded, as if wishful to help him in the formulation of his idea, and she added:"Or Mr Edwin?"
