| 17050 | But she delayed to come, and so he gently called,''Are you coming?'' |

| 12261 | But how, we must still ask, can burning an animal alive break the spell that has been cast upon its fellows by a witch or a warlock? |
| 12261 | But it did him little good; for one ox said to another ox,"What shall we do to- morrow?" |
| 12261 | But we have still to ask, What was the Golden Bough? |
| 12261 | But we naturally ask, How did it come about that benefits so great and manifold were supposed to be attained by means so simple? |

| 21471 | Is n''t she a very wicked old woman then? |
| 21471 | Oh, did I? 21471 Papa, may I take her up the medicine and food?" |

| 42921 | How forfeited? |
| 42921 | How is it acquired? |
| 42921 | How were simple mortals to suppose themselves in error when following such examples as Cato, Varro, and Julius Cæsar? |
| 42921 | In humbler life, abusive language often ends with blows; and what must be the effect of such scenes on the tender mind of infancy? |
| 42921 | Is a supernatural intelligence vouchsafed to the last efforts of expiring nature? |
| 42921 | Is it just, therefore, to speak of the brutal barbarity of the negroes, when all we see of it is partly our own work? |
| 42921 | Is it likely then that they should have leisure or inclination for revisiting their dreary mansion of clay? |

| 34744 | Can he understand if he hears? |
| 34744 | Did the_ Hornet''s_ men send down for water to Kalaua''s well? |
| 34744 | Did they? |
| 34744 | Do you wish to stop here in your own island? |
| 34744 | Frank,I cried,"how on earth can you tease her so? |
| 34744 | Going to stop with Kalaua, eh? |
| 34744 | How did it all happen? |
| 34744 | How did you get here so soon? |
| 34744 | How goes the fire? |
| 34744 | How should I know? |
| 34744 | How so? |
| 34744 | How so? |
| 34744 | How will he ever get over? |
| 34744 | I wonder what sort of a match you expect to make, that you''re getting yourself up so smart for the occasion? |
| 34744 | Is he asleep? |
| 34744 | Is the volcano still at work, Frank? |
| 34744 | Kea, do you take this god, Maloka, for your wedded lord? |
| 34744 | Lava, I suppose, and sulphur, and so forth? |
| 34744 | Maloka, do you take this girl, Kea, for your wedded wife? |
| 34744 | No? |
| 34744 | Not total? |
| 34744 | Observations on Mauna Loa? |
| 34744 | Oh, Mr. Hesselgrave, if that''s so, what on earth made you ever leave England to come to such a country as Hawaii? |
| 34744 | Oh, you need n''t be afraid,Frank answered laughing;"need they, Tom? |
| 34744 | On our great volcano? 34744 Steam issuing from them?" |
| 34744 | Tom,said he impressively,"does it ever strike you there''s something very mysterious indeed about this marriage of Kea''s?" |
| 34744 | Well, what do you think you''ll do now? |
| 34744 | What are the flowers for? |
| 34744 | What are we to do? |
| 34744 | What do you want the rope for? |
| 34744 | What does that matter,I answered,"if science is satisfied? |
| 34744 | What will you do now, Kea? |
| 34744 | What''s to become of me? 34744 What, the Floor of the Hawaiians?" |
| 34744 | Where to? |
| 34744 | Where''s Kalaua now? |
| 34744 | Where''s Kea, old lady? |
| 34744 | Which way have they gone, you hag? |
| 34744 | Who are all these people here? |
| 34744 | Who''s Maloka? |
| 34744 | Why not? |
| 34744 | Why, you see,he answered,"they''re getting ready for a wedding: but where''s the bridegroom? |
| 34744 | Would you like to taste some? 34744 You think it''s he who''s set it on fire then?" |
| 34744 | You think so? |
| 34744 | You think that will bring an eruption in its train? |
| 34744 | You would allow me to pay for our board and lodging, of course? |
| 34744 | After all, when one looks the thing squarely in the face, what did you really see and feel sure of? |
| 34744 | And you? |
| 34744 | Are n''t you afraid, too, of the stones and ashes?" |
| 34744 | But with that weak and patched- up line of rotten old cords? |
| 34744 | But you do n''t think, then, I run any risk by remaining under this roof till my leg gets well again?" |
| 34744 | Could I hold on till the end? |
| 34744 | Could I make myself heard, I wondered to myself, above the constant hiss and roar and din of that volcanic outburst? |
| 34744 | Could Maloka live in some cave of the platform? |
| 34744 | Could it be that they meant deliberately to leave me there unaided to die? |
| 34744 | Could this be Kalaua and his friend again? |
| 34744 | Did Kalaua mean to put me there and then through some hideous and inhuman wedding ceremony? |
| 34744 | Do n''t you see poor Kea''s dreadfully distressed? |
| 34744 | Had he gone to call other natives to his assistance, and to bring ropes and ladders to haul me up from that unearthly crater? |
| 34744 | Had he gone to seek aid on my behalf, I wondered? |
| 34744 | How can I thank you enough? |
| 34744 | How dare they interfere with the bridals of Maloka?" |
| 34744 | I wonder what they call this precious stuff of theirs?" |
| 34744 | I wonder who on earth this Maloka is? |
| 34744 | Is it agreed? |
| 34744 | Is the mountain so very dangerous then?" |
| 34744 | Is this a time to make plans for the future? |
| 34744 | May I venture to offer you the hospitality of a humble Hawaiian roof? |
| 34744 | May we expect you to stop with us then? |
| 34744 | Pulling the cord that moved my looking- glass, I flashed back"Well?" |
| 34744 | Scientific observations? |
| 34744 | Shall you go and see it?" |
| 34744 | Sounds awfully grand that, does n''t it? |
| 34744 | This midnight meeting? |
| 34744 | Was I bound to atone for the saving of my life by accepting in wedlock the last daughter and heiress of the priests of Pélé? |
| 34744 | Was I the bridegroom for whom the stranger was to answer? |
| 34744 | Was this Maloka? |
| 34744 | Was this the secret of their sudden kindness to me? |
| 34744 | Was this-- could it be, some wonderful heathen plot or contrivance to carry me off and marry me perforce against my will to Kea? |
| 34744 | Were they afraid to meddle with the prisoners of the goddess? |
| 34744 | Were they going to marry me against my will to Kea? |
| 34744 | Were they really come to murder me or to carry me off by force? |
| 34744 | What could all this mean? |
| 34744 | What does an ugly fellow such as that want with a young and beautiful wife like Kea? |
| 34744 | What on earth could it be? |
| 34744 | What on earth, I thought, made me ever take to such a trade as vulcanology? |
| 34744 | What right had they, he asked in a threatening voice, to come trespassing there on private property? |
| 34744 | What say you?" |
| 34744 | What was to be done? |
| 34744 | What''s the use of throwing away beauty like hers upon Maloka? |
| 34744 | What? |
| 34744 | When? |
| 34744 | Where was Kea? |
| 34744 | Where? |
| 34744 | Who is he, or what is it?" |
| 34744 | Whose festival?" |
| 34744 | Why all this mystery? |
| 34744 | Why could n''t Kea be quietly married like any one else? |
| 34744 | Why could n''t Kea''s lover come to the house at a reasonable hour, like all the rest of humanity? |
| 34744 | Why, did n''t they take in Captain Cook, and roast him and eat him, they were so very fond of him? |
| 34744 | Would anybody come to help me? |
| 34744 | Would it crack? |
| 34744 | Would it yield? |
| 34744 | Would n''t they at least sleep down at his house? |
| 34744 | Would she come back in time, or would the fiery flood burst up once more to the level where I lay before she had time to arrive with assistance? |
| 34744 | You do n''t mean to say your people go on believing still in such childish nonsense as gods and goddesses?" |
| 34744 | and why was she out at this time of night, with all her friends, and in her wedding garments? |
| 3623 | ''So you went to Ka- thlu- el- lon, did you?'' 3623 And do tell me,"she said,"are you quite immortal? |
| 3623 | Can anything be plainer,he might say,"than that I light my twopenny candle on earth and that the sun then kindles his great fire in heaven? |
| 3623 | For why, say they, should they commit an act of aggression, when he and his kindred can so easily repay them? 3623 Of what was he guilty? |
