17126What do you think of that plan?"
17126What shall we do?"
17126Who told you to shut up your book?"
43918And is it you that is afraid of that? 43918 Are you really sorry for your sin, Alfred?
43918Did you, Rose, indeed? 43918 Do lend me your new knife, which mamma gave you,"asked Samuel;"I want to cut notches in my stick, and play Robinson Crusoe: do, will you, Alfred?"
43918Have you got it, Alfred?
43918Is it I do not know what you are, Master Alfred? 43918 Now do not you think, aunt, Alfred ought to lend me his knife, just for a minute, to cut a Robinson Crusoe stick?"
43918O, then, is it you it is, Master Alfred? 43918 This is very kind of you, Rose: and may I do what I like with the knife, Rose?"
43918Well, but you lent it to cousin James, on Monday, and he did not spoil it, did he?
43918Well, my son, then in the fifteenth Psalm, when the question is asked, Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 43918 Where is your knife, my boy?"
43918Where is your pretty new knife, then, my dear? 43918 Yes, mamma, I do; but do you think the Saviour will forgive me, and make me happy again?"
43918Yes, yes, Rose, I know all that very well; but do you remember hearing about Ananias and Sapphira in the Bible?
43918You only_ believe_, mamma: are you not sure I never told a lie before?
43918Alfred looked at Rose very thoughtfully, and asked,"Do you not know what I have done, Rose?"
43918But what has that to do with the loss, Master Alfred?
43918Did you ever read the fifth chapter of the Acts, and the twenty- first chapter of the Revelation, Rose?"
43918Not know what ye are?
43918Sure this story has nothing to do with you, has it?"
43918What can be the matter?
43918What shall I do?"
43918What would become of me, if I were to die to- night?"
43918What''s the matter?
43918Where is he?"
43918asked his aunt;"is it in your pocket?"
43918this is the question; or are you only mortified that your guilt is discovered?"
43918what then is come to ye, my dear?"
10888How do you like your present, my boy?
10888Is there no hope, Doctor?
10888Oh, had it been but told you then, To mark whose lamp was dim; From out the ranks of these young men Would ye have singled_ him_? 10888 We will make a famous Greek scholar of you yet,"said Harry,"who knows, darling Em, but you may be a great poetess before you die?
10888Whose heart in generous thought and deed, No rivalry could brook? 10888 Whose was the sinewy arm that flung Defiance to the ring?
10888And did the children at home regret making this sacrifice for their little brother''s sake?
10888And if they were, would Mr. Martin give his consent?
10888And where was Rover, faithful, affectionate Rover, in these mournful days?
10888As Mrs. Hamilton was undressing Emma that night, the latter said,"Mother, do you think Arthur has got Rover yet?"
10888At Mrs. Hamilton''s when the question was asked,"Where is Rover?"
10888But may he stay here with me?"
10888But were they blighted?
10888But would the children be willing to part with their pet and playfellow?
10888CHAPTER X. ROVER, WHERE IS HE?
10888Could she hope any thing better for her darling boy?
10888Do n''t you want Rover to go?"
10888Had he been accidentally destroyed?
10888Had he been stolen and carried off?
10888Had he wandered off into the woods on that mournful day, and laid down and died of grief?
10888Her little, tender- hearted Arthur was a precious child, and must he be taken too?
10888How old is he?"
10888I found her in the piazza; she was calm, but oh, who could fathom the depths of her anguish?
10888I wonder if Mr. Martin has a dog?"
10888Rather, was not all that was good and lovely in him, still existing and perfecting?
10888The hymn"Why should we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death''s alarms?"
10888These changes had already taken place, and now, could she part with Arthur,--her sweet- tempered, gentle Arthur?
10888Was God about to strip her of all she loved?
10888Was he not still loving, sympathizing, rejoicing?
10888We must be careful not to break her heart, musn''t we, Arthur?"
10888What do you think it is?"
10888What wonder?
10888What word of consolation could a mortal speak at such an hour?
10888When shall we learn that death does not destroy, only remove them and us?
10888When, oh when, shall we learn that we and those we love, are immortal beings?
10888Who but He who formed the soul with all its mysterious capacities for suffering?
10888Who shall blame her?
10888Who that looked now on Arthur''s beaming eye, and glowing cheek, could dream that they had been clouded by sorrow, or dimmed by tears?
10888Whose shout of victory loudest rung?
10888Wo n''t you, Rover, good fellow?"
10888Would he ever be a man, with courage to face the storms of life, if she, with a woman''s weakness, allowed her feelings to prevail over her judgment?
10888did a sad presentiment of coming evil pass over his soul?
10888said Arthur,"would you have the poor squirrel starve?"
13539And how many did you kill?
13539Friends, is not my case amazing? 13539 How many of these,"he then inquired,"are daughters?"
13539Why should you teach the heathen?
13539''Well,''I rejoined,''if it be so, what creates this agony of mind?''
13539Addressing the first, I said to her,''Friend, how many children have you destroyed?''
13539Again she exclaimed,"Can I not live two weeks?"
13539And are none of you willing to follow their example?
13539And are you Christ''s, or are you yet gay and thoughtless-- as gay and as thoughtless as this young lady was, until laid upon her dying bed?
13539And are you, my dear children, yet out of Christ?
13539And for what purpose?
13539And have you nothing to do in this great work, my dear children?
13539And is it possible that such persons can go to heaven?
13539And now, my dear children, why do I tell you about these gods?
13539And was this heathen so struck with the beauty of the precepts of the Bible-- so struck, that he had no peace until he gave himself to his Saviour?
13539And what are these idols?
13539And what did these chickens do?
13539And what do you think that father did?
13539And what have Christians ever done to honor their Saviour, which will bear a comparison with what the heathen do for their idols?
13539And what have you ever done to prevent it?
13539And where shall I then see you?
13539And why should not you also come here, or go to other heathen lands?
13539Are none of you willing to say, Here am I, Lord, send me?
13539Are they the world and its vanities?
13539Are you ready to exclaim, Is it possible that a people can be guilty of such utter folly?
13539But can not you earn some?
13539But where are these processions going?
13539By this expression, she meant to say,"What kind of a god are you, not to look upon me, and help me in my distress?"
13539Can little girls and boys do without sugar- candy?
13539Can you think of any thing, my dear children more dishonoring to a holy God, than such worship?
13539Did they not come around you and eat it?
13539Did you ever give any money to send it to them?
13539Did you ever take any corn or Indian meal and throw it to the chickens?
13539Did you ever think whether it may not be your duty, by and by, to come to them, to tell them of this Gospel?
13539Do you say that you have no money to give?
13539Do you think that he took her up in his arms, and kissed her?
13539Have you ever learned it, my dear children?
13539Have you ever spoken bad words?
13539Have you this Pearl of great price, my dear children?
13539Have you, every morning and evening, prayed that the Gospel might be sent to this people?
13539Have you, my dear children, attended to these requirements?
13539He met a woman soon after this dreadful crime had been abolished to whom he said,"How many children have you?"
13539How could such ever relish its pure joys?
13539If you can be excused from coming or going, why may not all who are now little boys also be excused?
13539If you have not, what have you?
13539Looking up at me, on one occasion, she exclaimed,"Doctor, can not you save me?"
13539My dear children, have you done this?
13539My dear young friends, are there any of you who have never given your hearts to Christ?
13539Now, my dear children, do you not think that you ought to pray for the poor heathen-- to pray that God will send the Gospel to them?
13539O, what will such say, when they must meet the heathen at the bar of God?
13539O, why is it that Christians have not long since sent this Bible to them?
13539Of how much more value then, is it, in reference to the removal of their spiritual miseries?
13539Shall I see any of you on the left hand of Christ, and hear him say,"Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels?"
13539She then exclaimed,"Doctor, can I not live a month?"
13539Tell me, have you this Pearl of great price?
13539The salutation begins by the question,"Has the milk boiled?"
13539They supposed that they heard a voice in answer pronouncing_ Enna?_ that is,_ What_?
13539They supposed that they heard a voice in answer pronouncing_ Enna?_ that is,_ What_?
13539Was not that a noble little girl?
13539What is that?
13539What would they do, could they be admitted there?
13539What, my dear children, will you do for this purpose?
13539When you grow up, can not you go and tell them of the Saviour?
13539Who can dwell for ever with devouring flames?
13539Who of you expect, by and by, to become missionaries to this land, to tell this people of the Pearl of great price?
13539Who, O who can lie down in everlasting burnings?
13539Why is it that they do not send it to them_ now_?
13539Will you ever direct your little feet to the ballroom, or other places of sinful amusement?
13539Will you ever take another sip from the cup of unhallowed pleasure?
13539Will you hereafter prefer your worldly joys to Christ?
13539Will you not resolve now, that you will, so long as God prospers you in worldly goods, give_ at least_ one- tenth of all you earn to the Lord?
13539Will you think of it?
13539Will you, then, be so mad as to turn a deaf ear to this call?
9402Ah, how does thee do?
9402And does the Bible teach you to flatter people with your tongue, while you are laughing at them in your sleeves?
9402And if your little baby dies, Mrs. Graffam,said Eddy,"he will be a flower in God''s garden; wo n''t he, Mary?"
9402And pray, how is your dear little babe, sir?
9402And who is to be the judge of our thoughts,asked Fanny,"whether they be right or wrong?"
9402Are any more of my friends here?
9402Are you?
9402But how can I have you go away alone to read your Bible, and think sadly of-- being so weak?
9402Can it be,thought the fallen man,"that I am still_ Mr._, or are they mocking me?"
9402Can thee respect a drunkard, Emma?
9402Emma,said he,"what would thee do for Peter and his family?
9402Has thee been long out of health?
9402How do you do, Willie?
9402How is your babe this morning?
9402How she could be extremely glad to see people who, she said, were''bores, and not to be endured?''
9402How would charity act toward a person whose manners are extremely rude?
9402I guess so,was the reply;"but----""But what, Willie?"
9402I know it,replied Emma;"but need he be lost, sir?
9402Is it very heavy?
9402O,thought Emma, as she looked after him,"is there none to help?
9402Of what are you thinking, Dora?
9402Perhaps not,was the reply;"I suppose your profits are enough to hire it done; but here is a shawl,--what is the price of it?"
9402Shall we call at''Appledale?''
9402Thee looks delicate,said the old man;"what shall I give thee to eat, Emma?"
9402Thee looks tired, Sarah; where are the girls?
9402Thee means Peter, who lives upon the plains?
9402Was it?
9402We shall, Eddy, if we are like----"Like Jesus?
9402What can she think?
9402What do you suppose,continued Emma,"is meant by the sincere milk of the word?"
9402What does thee think of that child, Sarah?
9402What else have you?
9402What is the use of this dreadful struggle?
9402What shall I call thy name?
9402When did she die?
9402Where are you going, Mary Palmer?
9402Why it was more impolite to tell people what was foolish in their appearance, than to laugh about this appearance in their absence?
9402Why, who is Emma flying to see?
9402You know Mr. Graffam, sir?
9402You will come and see me again, wo n''t you?
9402And why so sad?
9402But now, whence came the wonderful beauty of the widespread landscape?
9402Can I aid thee in any way?"
9402Come, Susan, thee ought to be helping thy mother these hot days; but who is this friend?"
9402Do you hear the drum?"
9402Dora felt, as many under similar circumstances have felt, the earnest question pressing upon her heart:"Who is sufficient for these things?"
9402Feel sober after your last night''s high, eh?"
9402Friend Sliver laid down his hoe, and coming up to the wall, asked,"What is it, child?"
9402Graffam?"
9402Graffam?"
9402Graffam?"
9402He has a wife and four pretty children; ca n''t he be saved?"
9402Is it not so?"
9402O, would n''t it be delightful?"
9402Was it just to be polite?"
9402What have they been doing for her?
9402What say you, Fanny Brighton?"
9402What spirit possesses the human heart, when it shows a disposition to make others uncomfortable?
9402Who has not entertained this uninvited guest?
9402Why does he want to hurt folks''feelings?
9402You read the Bible, Ma--,--I mean Miss Palmer?"
9402You will not have me deceived, mamma?"
9402You would not have had me say so; but these were my feelings; so what am I to do?"
9402and yet what is gained?
9402are they not, Mary Palmer?"
10901Ai n''t you the young chap that beat in the bicycle slow race?
10901And go to church?
10901But she might think somebody''d come along in the night and stole it, do n''t you see?
10901But what in the world did they go and lock up for, when we got in just as easy as pie last night?
10901Ca n''t you hear?
10901Catch who? 10901 Did n''t I tickle the soles of your feet?
10901Do n''t you feel a good deal better?
10901Errands? 10901 Havin''a holiday, be you?
10901Here''s three boys come to stop over night with us-- three, pa. You''re glad there''s three of''em, ai n''t you? 10901 How did you get your invitation?
10901I guess you''re hungry, ai n''t you? 10901 I hope you''ve all be''n to meetin''?"
10901I said I wanted one, did n''t I? 10901 I said I was n''t sick, did n''t I?
10901I say, was n''t Kent foolish to go scooting off like that? 10901 I say, where''d you get that machine, Kentie?
10901Is the young gent took ill?
10901Just leavin''?
10901Kent Eddy, what are you trying to get at? 10901 Look at those clouds, will you?
10901Look for yourself and see-- ain''t it?
10901Look, will you? 10901 Me?"
10901Oh, it was you, was it? 10901 Say, Jot, you asleep?"
10901Say, Jot,he said that night, when they had gone upstairs to their own beds once more,"do n''t you feel a little better?"
10901Starving?
10901Stop over night? 10901 Sure-- but how?"
10901The very first one?
10901Well, what did they do then, Jotham Eddy?
10901Well, what if I am? 10901 Well,"he said,"what next?
10901What is it, Jim? 10901 What is it, anyway?"
10901What is it? 10901 What made you think of entering?"
10901What will Nancy say?
10901What''s up, lad?
10901What?
10901Where in the world did he go to?
10901Where? 10901 Which of you fellows made that tourniquet with the fork?"
