5306Ye know we counted ez that thar pit would n''t be opened ag''in fur a right smart time?"
5306accusin''o''Birt wrongful, an''sech?"
5306did she realize the loss of the mine?
5306he called out, as soon as the small boy was inside the tanyard,"be you- uns SURE ez Nate said he''d come over by sun- up?"
5306the Gov''nor o''the State?"
5306vociferated the testy old man;"ai n''t I a- goin''ter?
19776An''when will ye be sure o''that?
19776An''ye say that ye too will stand by me? 19776 And how do you suppose that fact makes_ me_ feel?"
19776And how do you suppose that_ I_ should think you could feel at all?
19776And why not?
19776At Crystal?... 19776 Bears_ growl_--didn''t you know that?"
19776Did he ever have a thought that I did not know?
19776Did you really hear something?
19776Did you really intend to say it, to come back to me?
19776Did you think I could n''t make it?
19776Do n''t you think it is odd that Ned is so late?
19776Do they head them advertisements''_ Suckers, Attention_''?
19776Does it pain you?
19776Does you- uns know that leetle foot?
19776Got them on the run, did you? 19776 Has he fainted?"
19776Have you any information about him? 19776 How are_ you_, old man?"
19776How can you say that of me-- of_ me_?
19776How can_ you_ believe that?
19776How could I? 19776 How have I arrogated magnanimity, or anything else?
19776Is it_ you_, Archie? 19776 Look- a- hyar, you two an''this woman will stan''up fur me when I gin myself up fur State''s evidence, ef I put ye on the track fur findin''Bubby?
19776May I have the honor and pleasure of your company, madam?
19776Snow?
19776Then, Archibald Royston, Esquire, may I hope that_ you_ will favor me?
19776This stone is the efflorescence of a limestone cavern, given to him, no doubt, but when and where? 19776 Throw him over the bluff, eh?"
19776Well, that''s agreed, is it? 19776 Wh-- wh-- wh-- whut?
19776What ails yer hearin''?
19776What are you going to do, Lillian?
19776What are you laughing about?
19776What fur? 19776 What is all this?"
19776What is it?
19776What is the matter, then?
19776What was it?
19776What woman?
19776What''s yer name, Squair? 19776 What_ is_ that?"
19776What_ is_ that?
19776Where did you last see him?
19776Where is he now-- where is this child?
19776Why do n''t ye tell yer name, Bubby?
19776Why do n''t you say''currish''and be done with it?
19776Why not?
19776Why should you defer to their views, Lillian? 19776 Why, say, old Noah, did you ever see that kid?"
19776Why, what are we thinking of?
19776Wo n''t they be fur trackin''of_ him_?
19776Would he not have shared his joy with every creature in the household?
19776You both think I was wrong, do n''t you?
19776You remember, Gladys, do n''t you, how he delighted in these pockets? 19776 You think it queer that they use''you- uns''in the singular number?
19776( at last a poignant cadence of pain) there was no train?
19776Ai n''t her pretty?
19776Ai n''t it our''n?
19776Ai n''t the corn an''apples an''peaches our''n?
19776And how is it that you did not know it, knowing his every thought?"
19776And now, Mrs. Royston, shall we move on?"
19776And what action was incumbent on her hostess, left to face this problem in this lonely country house in the dead hours of night?
19776And why should he fear the law more than another?
19776Are you ready to go now?
19776But stop-- what is that?"
19776But was n''t it too far?
19776But were n''t the roads dreadful?
19776But whither had blown the incense of that happy time?
19776Cat got it?"
19776Clenk exclaimed angrily, from his seat in the boat,"ai n''t ye got_ no_ human feelin''s, Jack Drann?
19776Could he come to her at once, at her utmost need, and by the first train?
19776Could he really drive across country?
19776Crystal was not on a railroad at all?
19776Did n''t we grow''em?--an''what right hev the gover''ment ter say we kin eat''em, but ca n''t bile''em-- eh?
19776Do n''t you perceive that my duties as chaperon to those lovers should lie nearest my heart?"
19776Do n''t you suppose it possible that you saw only your own moving reflection?"
19776Do n''t you understand?
19776Do you remember how he looked when I lifted the flap-- isn''t the embroidery lovely?--and put his dear little hand into his first pocket?
19776Fifty miles?
19776Had he not said only to- day that neither of them had aught to regret?
19776Had she thought indeed that she could hold Julian Bayne''s heart through all vicissitudes of weal and woe, of time and change?
19776Had you none, really?"
19776Have n''t you yet had enough of ordering your life by the standards of others?
19776Hello, Tucker, is that you?...
19776How could I, Gladys?"
19776How could five years work such change?
19776How could they be so dull, so dense, as to harbor such a folly?
19776How did it happen?"
19776How was reparation possible?
19776Is there anything wonderful in that?
19776Lost two of my dogs-- yes, my fine, full- blooded hounds-- you remember Damon and Pythias?
19776Meeting the gaze of the big, unafraid blue eyes, he asked at a venture in English,"And what is your name, young man?"
19776Now tell me,_ where_ did you last see that child?"
19776Oh, a fast horse?
19776Oh, could he?
19776Oh, how can I make them hear me?
19776She was going to the mountains, to the mountains-- to meet what?
19776Telephone exchange there?...
19776Then to Lillian specially, as he took her hand,"Am I late?"
19776Then why do you use''_ you_''in the singular number?
19776Then-- for the scope of his cultivation did not include the civility of lifting his hat-- he said,"Which of ye two wimin hev los''a child?"
19776Thirty miles from Shaftesville?...
19776Was it all fictitious?--and was there something terrible to ensue when it should collapse?
19776Was it not calculated to allure marauders and nighthawks to this lonely house?
19776Was it she who had forfeited him, rather than he who had lost her?
19776Was this what he had really felt through the long years of their separation?
19776Whar''s yer tongue?
19776What else indeed could he think?
19776What had befallen his strong young hopes, his faith, his inspiration, that they had exhaled and left the air vapid and listless?
19776What right had he ter bust our still an''break up our wu''m and pour our mash an''singlings out on the ground?
19776What was it to him?
19776What''s yer name?"
19776Why do n''t you call the sheriff of the county?"
19776Why must he needs bring tribute to her powers, flatter her ascendency in his life, by faltering before her casual presence?
19776Why should he forgive?
19776Why should you call up that-- man?
19776Will you do me the favor to hire a responsible party there to bring the mare back?...
19776You the widder?"
19776You''ll look out for Fairy- foot?...
31801A fawn? 31801 A fawn?"
31801A food riot? 31801 And how did you know that I speak French?"
31801And how do_ you_ know that I am French?
31801And to- morrow-- and yet next day?
31801And what does the great Earl of Loudon? 31801 And what of the torture, the knife, the fagot?"
31801And where is he now?
31801But do we really expect it? 31801 But how can we help it?"
31801But if a wolf licks your hand, sir, would you pat him on the head?
31801Child,said Mrs. Halsing, solemnly,"why did you ever come to the frontier?"
31801Dispatches?
31801Do you consider yourself so free, then? 31801 Have the French armed no Indian allies?
31801Him?
31801How can I sleep,--with this sense of responsibility?
31801If we do not keep our word, how can we expect Oconostota to keep his word?
31801In what capacity?
31801John Stuart,he said,"have I not called you my friend?
31801Known what better?
31801May I tell my husband?
31801Must they have twenty thrys to hit a big black buffalo? 31801 Now, Hamish,"he said, smiling behind the candle as he held the wax in it for the seal,"can you do as much again?"
31801O''Flynn,he said,"do you deem this a fitting time to set the example of broils between the settlers and soldiers?
31801Parlez vous? 31801 The tinder- box-- the flint-- where are they?
31801The white captain calls on his friends-- and where are they? 31801 Was there a demonstration of the Indians last night, Captain?"
31801What do you think of them?
31801What do-- Choté-- old town?
31801What message did he send?
31801What prisoners?
31801What was I to do, Odalie?
31801What''s your name, my lad?
31801What?
31801Where go?
31801Where is Sandy? 31801 Where, Fifine, where?"
31801Where, Fifine? 31801 Where, Josephine?
31801Where? 31801 Where?"
31801Why could n''t they have brought some conveniences, such as knives and forks and cups and platters, instead of fool trifles?
31801Why do n''t you say that in French, Odalie?
31801Why preëmpt ill- fortune for them, John?
31801Why should you care?
31801Without seeing Sandy and Odalie?
31801Would he allow you to risk yourself?
31801You call on your friend-- where?
31801You will go back to Colonel Montgomery at Fort Prince George with dispatches?
31801You wo n''t wait for Governor Bull? 31801 A waving blotch of red leaves in the autumnal dusk,--what more natural? 31801 Alexander looked anxiously at his wife-- had she found the journey, then, so vexatious? 31801 And alas, what was their fate? 31801 And for what? 31801 And how had she selected so ill among her belongings as to what she should bring and what leave? 31801 And what did the Baron Des Johnnes? 31801 And what said Colonel Sumter? 31801 And what was there now at MacLeod Station? 31801 And what was this? 31801 And whence did they come? 31801 And whither did this unknown people go? 31801 And who so glad as Willinawaugh to lose naught of his satisfaction-- neither his material nor immaterial reward? 31801 And who were they? 31801 Are we here to wage war or to maintain peace?
31801At the stockade?
31801Besides, would they let you risk it again, even for them?"
31801But even at the best could such an expedition reach them in time?
31801Can not you strike a spark?"
31801Did he fear treachery?
31801Did they not do it first?"
31801Did we not make our peace and smoke our pipe and give our belts of white wampum and sign names to the treaty we made with the white English?
31801Do you call it freedom-- in the holy_ bonds_ of matrimony?
31801Does this fidelity so clothe your body that it will not burn and crisp and crinkle in the anguish as of your hell?
31801Flanzy?"
31801For was not Montgomery instructed to offer them terms on_ his_ account only?
31801Had he grounds to suspect any renewal of the English occupancy?
31801Had he knowledge of forces now on the march in the expectation of raising the siege of Fort Loudon?
31801Had his friend, his brother, deserved this?
31801Have I not given all I possess of wealth to save your life?
31801Have they broken into the smoke- house?"
31801Have we any guarantee?"
31801He gobbled a brisk and agitated imitation of the cry of the fowl, and then broke off to exclaim,"_ Quelle barbarie!_--eh, Odalie?"
31801How could the bough stir?
31801How should he have dreamed that Odalie''s little_ Vocabulaire Français_ would be more efficacious to save his life than his rifle and his deadly aim?
31801MacLeod?"
31801MacLeod?"
31801Now do n''t ye know such wiles as he hev got for them must be deceit?"
31801Odalie, trying to seem interested, demanded, lifting her eyes,"And what do women follow?"
31801Some hole?"
31801The men who had sung in the Christmas carols remembered old English ditties,--"How now, shepherd, what means that, Why that willow in thy hat?"
31801Then exclaimed--"_Oh_, is n''t it droll, Fifine?"
31801To make our fate certain?
31801To see the fellows salaaming to the very ground as I came across the parade!--what are you doing to my frock, Captain Demeré?"
31801Was he some slight thing,--_seequa, cheefto_, an opossum, a rabbit?
31801Was_ Sekakee_ hungry?
31801Were the Rush people poor and oppressed in Carolina?
31801What more fearful?
31801What more fearful?"
31801What more fearful?"]
31801What more wonderful?
31801What need had the Tennessee Warrior for diplomacy?
31801When?"
31801Where did you see Willinawaugh?"
31801Where is Odalie?"
31801Will you volunteer?"
31801Will your oath restore sight to your eyes when a red- hot iron has seared them?"
31801Would the great chief, whose words in whatever language were of paramount importance, accept a money price?
31801Ye must have seen it,"--lowering her voice,--"a love token?"
31801[ Footnote F: Is it not so?]
31801[ Illustration:"What more wonderful?
31801_ Wahkane, wahkane!_ Was it not so when the treaty of Lyttleton was broken and Montgomery, the Terrible, came in his stead?
31801_ Wahkane?_[F] Did we not join his cause and fight his battles and shed our blood in his wars against the French?
31801_ Wahkane_, John Stuart,_ wahkane_?
31801said the Cherokee,"and him?"
31801who now so glad to protest that he would waive any personal gratification that stood in the way of utility to the Cherokee nation?
20365''Twarn''t a- beckonin'', war it? 20365 Air it your''n?"
20365An''ef this brief wind war ter whurl the old church- house off''n the bluff an''down inter the valley whar- r-- would-- I-- be?

20365Coggin, hey?
20365D''ye know whose coat this kem off''n?
20365Did Nick wear_ my_ coat down on the ledge, I wonder, an''git it tored? 20365 Did ye find the tur- r- key''s nest in the Conscripts''Hollow?"
20365Did ye git it?
20365Do you know where you lost this scrap?
20365Do you want to come to school?
20365Ef I go on this yerrand fur ye,he said, looking very sharp indeed,"will ye gimme one o''the whings of that thar wild tur- r- key?"
20365Git what?
20365Gobbler or hen?
20365Hain''t I done promised ye not ter tech a drap o''liquor this Chris''mus day?
20365Hain''t ye been doin''nothin''mean lately?
20365He hev been thar all this time,--''kase he air tied thar, do n''t ye see? 20365 Hev Ethan fell off, sure enough?"
20365Hev that thar boy gone ter bed?
20365Hev ye been a- huntin''?
20365How did ye git away, Barney?--how did ye git away?
20365How did ye happen ter be hyar this time o''the night, ye limb o''Satan?
20365How kem my coat ter be tored down thar on the ledge, close ter the Conscripts''Hollow, whar I hain''t been sence the cloth war wove?
20365How kin we find that thar leetle hammer in sech a dark place?
20365How long did it take''em to get all those heavy things down into the Conscripts''Hollow,--hey, bub?
20365How''d it happen ter be stickin''ter them blackberry- bushes on the ledge?
20365How''d she make out ter fotch the little tur- r- keys up hyar, when they war hatched? 20365 Is that so?"
20365It''s airish up hyar, ai n''t it?
20365Just ter enjye sottin''''em up agin? 20365 Little Jeff Carew,--you''ve seen that puny little man a- many a time-- haven''t you, Jim?
20365M''ria,said the blacksmith meekly to his wife,"hev ye tuk notice how the gyarden truck air a- thrivin''?

20365Then what made ye run, yander on the slope, when ye seen thar war somebody on the ledge?
20365Waal, sonny?

20365Waal, waal,in a pensive voice,"so ye ai n''t him?
20365Waal-- air ye disabled anywhar so ez ye ca n''t shet it, eh?
20365Whar be ye a- takin''of us now?
20365Whar did ye happen ter see Ethan?
20365Whar''bouts?
20365What ails dad''s hand?
20365What ails ye, Nick? 20365 What ails ye, Steve?"
20365What ails ye, boy? 20365 What air ye a- doin''of up thar on the Old Man''s Chimney?"
20365What air ye doin''down thar? 20365 What air ye doin''on this side o''the mounting, ef ye air a- goin''ter the mill?
20365What air ye layin''off fur me ter do?
20365What am I tuk up fur?
20365What d''ye want, granny?
20365What did ye git?
20365What fur?
20365What fur?
20365What''s a- brewin'', Amos?
20365What''s curious about it?
20365What''s that?
20365What''s the reason ye air always tryin''ter toll off our old red muley from our house?
20365What''s this hyar thing at the e- end o''the rope?
20365When?
20365Who got him a rope ter pull up by?
20365Who hev done turned State''s evidence?
20365Why d''ye come a- bustin''in hyar that thar way, Sol?
20365Why did ye stand a- gapin''at the Conscripts''Hollow, ef ye did n''t know thar was suthin special thar?
20365Why, what ails the boy?
20365Whyn''t you- uns go?
20365Ye ai n''t a- thinkin'',cried the woman tremulously,"ez the night air one app''inted fur evil?"
20365Ye air the biggest man in Tennessee, ai n''t ye?
20365You''re Barney Pratt, are you? 20365 _ That_ ai n''t the fellow, is it, Jim?"
20365''Twarn''t a- beckonin''?
20365An''whar_ is_ Melissy?"
20365An''when will I see G''liath Mounting agin, an''be whar Melissy air?"
20365And Jube-- had he not known how Jube could lie?
20365And what were these words he was beginning to faintly remember?
20365Asleep?
20365Barney''s tired brain began to fumble at this problem,--how did it happen?
20365But had John Grow forgotten all the good words he had heard to- day from the circuit- rider?
20365But how was it to concern Barney?
20365But what was that upon it?
20365But when it gained more strength, might it not drive Nick, helpless with his broken arm, from that high ledge?
20365Could Barney have slipped quietly away, leaving him to his fate?
20365Could explanations-- words, mere words-- clear him in the teeth of this fact?
20365Could he look to any human being for deliverance?
20365Could he support it?
20365Could it be that bitter revenge he had promised himself?
20365Did Nick see the plunder in the Conscripts''Hollow, an''git skeered, an''then sot out ter lyin''ter git shet o''the blame?"
20365Did he dream it, or was it true, that when Nick came back he seemed at first strangely agitated?
20365Did ye go thar fur the tur- r- key?"
20365Divide that thar traveler''s money-- hey?"
20365Had not the circuit- rider said in his last sermon that not even a sparrow falls to the ground unmarked of God?
20365Had they melted into thin air during his long ride from the church?
20365He had begun to lie,--where would it end?
20365He shrank as the old man spoke,--"And is this the boy who was slipped through the window to steal from Blenkins?"
20365He would keep up as long and as bravely as he could, and if the worst should come,--was he indeed so solitary?
20365He would not speak the word,--he had determined on that,--for might they not think that_ he_ was the boy who had robbed the store?
20365His next respite was thus entertained:--"What makes him work so of a night?"
20365How could Jube have repeated it if he had not seen it?
20365How could he avoid it?
20365Now that this misfortune had befallen them, who could say what was before them unless Ike would remain and take his stepfather''s place at the forge?
20365On this, the most benign day that ever dawns upon the world, was he led into these endless wastes of forest to be terrified by the"harnts"?
20365Only when the storekeeper eagerly insisted,"What hev Jonas seen?
20365State''s evidence,--what was that?
20365The step paused at a safe distance, and the shrill pipe of a little boy demanded,"Whar is ye, Ethan Tynes?"
20365Then at last it came out, quick and sharp, and in a convulsive gasp,--"Who air all that gang o''folks a- comin''yander down the road?"
20365Then came a thought that filled him with dismay,--how long was this to last?--who would rescue him?
20365Then he sullenly demanded,--"What''s yer name?"
20365There was the thicket; but whose were the voices that had rung out faintly from beneath it?
20365This was the way the distant ranges looked from the crags of his own home; he knew that they were the mountains, but which was Goliath?
20365Was he to have his wish, and see his brother never again?
20365Was he, indeed, so useless?
20365Was it a shadow?
20365Was it possible that George had forgotten to tell of his danger?
20365Was it possible that he could have exchanged coats by mistake with Nick the last afternoon that they were on the crag together?
20365Was there nothing beneath his feet but the vague depths of air to the base of the mountain?
20365Whar''s the other burglars?
20365Whar''s yer grist?"
20365What air ter hender?"
20365What was it?
20365What was this limp thing hanging to his shoulder?
20365What was to be his fate?
20365What would they say at home and at Birk''s Mill?
20365Where have you been hid out, all this time?"
20365Where is it?"
20365Where was he?
20365Who air ye ennyhow?"
20365Who done yer this hyar trick?"
20365Why could he not let himself down to the ledge by those long, strong vines that hung over the edge of the cliff?
20365Why did he not refuse it?
20365Why did not Pete come?
20365Why should he not take the revenge he had promised himself?
20365Will they keep me hyar all the same?
20365Will ye gin Tom that message?
20365Would he be put among the guilty creatures?
20365Would he not fear that the truth might somehow involve him with the horse- thief?
20365Would they believe his story?
20365Ye hev hearn tell o''me, hain''t ye, Jedge?
20365Ye never he d the grit ter sarch thar, I''ll be bound; did ye, now?"
20365[ Illustration: HOW LONG WAS IT TO LAST] Taken at its best, how long was it to last?
20365a distant step?
20365a dropping leaf?
20365air it ye, Barney?"
20365and what was this thrill of pain darting through it?
20365and what would that do to him?

28328And he said, Hagar, Sarai''s maid, whence camest thou? 28328 And there was of the house of Saul a_ servant_, whose name was Ziba; and when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba?
28328Then Pilate entered into the judgment- hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?... 28328 What do these facts prove?
2832821, says:"Art thou converted to Christ while thou art a slave-- the property of another person, and bought with his money?
28328After thus persecuting the saviour of his country,_ how can the Democratic party dare to call themselves his disciples_?''"
28328And how could it have been otherwise?
28328And is there no cause for alarm?
28328And what does that resolution endorse?
28328And why do we believe all this?
28328And why?
28328And why?
28328And why?
28328And why?
28328Are not these signs alarming?
28328Art thou called, being_ a servant_?
28328But did this justify_ Southern_ Democrats in_ dodging_ the question, and thereby electing a Black Republican Speaker?
28328But who is it that testifies that I have lied?
28328But, Doctor, why were you at Baltimore?
28328Can Rome change?
28328Can either civil or religious liberties rest secure on any other grounds?
28328Can men taking their stand on this Platform be the enemies of civil and religious liberties?
28328Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
28328Did he lie out of the scrape?
28328Did not Mr. JEFFERSON propose to carry his opposition to foreigners much farther than the American party now do?
28328Did they carry with them"dark- lanterns?"
28328Do they believe that Gen. Washington, or Jackson, would have united with any association or order not purely American?
28328Do they not in vision behold its scattered fragments and contemplate new confederacies, with hosts of new offices and millions of spoil?
28328Do you suppose they are men of no reading or information?
28328Examine the Platform, and answer to your conscience the question: What true American head can disapprove-- what pure American heart can revolt?

28328How does he stand upon the French Spoliation bill, which President Polk and President Pierce vetoed?
28328How does he stand upon the Pacific Railroad?
28328How will the_ Free Trade Democracy_ of the South relish these"protecting duties"of an old Federal politician?
28328In fact, is there a single Federal measure except that of the United States Bank, upon which he is not recorded against Democratic principles?
28328In fine, is there no fear that in hoping for free- soil aid, we may not lose the few real friends the South has in the North?
28328In our own country, not a single Catholic is to be found associated with the order of Free Masons; and why?
28328Is he not one of the last men living to talk about a want of respectability on the part of any one?
28328Is not this_ favoritism_ to the foreigner, and_ discrimination_ against the native?
28328Is such the case with Mr. Buchanan?
28328Is the preservation of the Union a matter of any consequence to them?
28328Is the race any better off for having accepted her faith?
28328Is there any denial of the right of Congress to interfere upon the subject of slavery in the sixth resolution of the Philadelphia platform?
28328Is there any denial of the right of Congress to interfere with the subject of slavery in the sixth resolution of the( new) Philadelphia platform?"
28328Is there any non- intervention in the sixth resolution of the Philadelphia platform?
28328Is there no danger that in admitting the abolitionist Trumbull, we may not dishearten the gallant Douglass?
28328Is there no fear that in reinstating the free- soil Hickman, who is in favor of Reeder, we may not palsy the arm of Richardson?
28328It was time that the American people should have a character of their own, and where would they find it?
28328JAMES WILLIAMS, show how he held up JAMES BUCHANAN and others as an_ old Federalist of the first water_?
28328James M. Davis, a respectable mechanic, asked him if he would say that to Major Donelson''s face?
28328Johnson say so?
28328Johnson''s iniquitous Homestead Bill, but a bid for foreigners?
28328May not our government be more homogeneous, more peaceable, more durable?"
28328May we not exclaim,"Lord, what is man?"
28328Now, the inquiry is, how has slavery risen and thus spread over our whole earth?
28328Polk_, side by side, while he was consuming half his time in abuse of the Federal party?
28328Rather, can he say he has any other kind?
28328Shall Americans govern themselves, or shall Foreigners, unacquainted with our laws, and brought up under monarchical governments, rule?
28328Sir, do you suppose that the"Bishops, Elders, and other Ministers,"whom you have the impudence to address, are all fools?
28328Speaking of Mr. Wesley, you say:"If Wesley were alive, what would he think of your midnight plots, and open tirades against Papists?
28328The Lancaster_ Register_, published in the immediate vicinity of Mr. Buchanan''s residence, asks_ by whom_ was he elected?
28328They are beginning to ask''What has Protestantism done for the world?

28328What are some of the reasons why you opposed it?
28328What care they for the Protestant religion, if the Catholics can only give them the numerical strength at the ballot- box?
28328What do you promise the country and yourselves, if Romanism proves successful in this contest?

28328Will Southern Democrats overlook this record?
28328Will it be said that the right of trial by jury was a_ spiritual_ matter?
28328Will it be said that the tyranny of King John, and his oppressions, of which the barons justly complained, were_ spiritual_ matters?

31122Well, that''s the jury of view; and what do you think of them?

31122Why?
31122Why?
31122Whyn''t ye take a shot at him, Wat?
31122Ye are sure ye never viewed that man afore yestiddy?
31122Ye do n''t see none o''my cattle, do ye?
31122Ye rode in comp''ny a hour or mo''an''never asked his name?
31122Ye see that cabin on the spur over yander around the bend?
31122Ye would n''t believe it now, would ye?
31122Ye''lows it be wrong,he said, his bold bright eyes all softened as he looked at her,"bein''agin the law?"
31122Yer frien''s rid, too, I s''pose?
31122You did n''t know you were so good looking, hey?
31122A sudden query from Silas Boyd rendered their respite short:"What''s that man Selwyn want so much land fur, ennyhows?
31122Ai n''t I good- lookin''enough?"
31122Ai n''t it the very moral of a witch?"
31122Ai n''t that a sort''n spell fur the dark an''the lonesomeness ter tarrify a few quaking dwellers round about?
31122An''who ever viewed a jury a- horseback afore?
31122And now could he turn against"Fambly"?
31122And what significance might attend these strange machinations?
31122Do it make''em seem enny taller ter say they air six thousand or seben thousand feet?
31122Fairly smelt that thar cave over t''other side the ridge jes''now, I reckon; else how''d he know''t war thar?"
31122Had he chanced on their unhallowed pastimes in the solitudes of these untrodden mountain wildernesses?
31122Had not some one protested this, with a good round rural oath as attestation?
31122He come up hyar las''summer-- war it las''summer, now?
31122Her hair on the back of her head, and its shape to the nape of her neck, were so beautiful-- she had never seen it: how could she say it was n''t?
31122His craft was cautious of its kind, and his manner was quite incidental as he said,"And the others of the family?"
31122How?"
31122I hearn loud talkin'', or hollerin'', a cornsiderable piece off, an''then gallopin''hoofs"--"More horses than one, do you think?"
31122Is it better to know so surely that winter is a- coming?
31122Jerry,"turning aside to his colleague, who had done naught but stare,"whar''s yer manners?
31122Just keep that pose, will you?
31122Now what good is that goin''ter do the Nunited States?"
31122Of what worth now were all his buoyant anticipations, while she was listening to the sugared flatteries of the"town cuss"?
31122Should he pull down the temple on Walter''s success-- the pride of them all?
31122Shows speed, I s''pose?
31122Sneed?"
31122So ye ca n''t tell what makes it,--the sile, or what?"
31122Thar-- what''s that?"
31122The coroner interposed quickly:"Where were you goin'', an''what did you see?"
31122The coroner, intentionally taking him at a disadvantage, asked abruptly,"What do you work at mostly?"
31122Then she spoke in a low voice:--"Whyn''t ye find out, Ben?
31122Then, with an awkward attempt at raillery,"Ai n''t ye never a- thinkin''''bout a- gittin''married?"
31122Waal,"raising an impressive forefinger,"ai n''t_ I_ the public?"
31122Was this miraculous fire, blazing from the depths of the clear water, necromancy, the work of the devil?
31122Was this the sylvan deity of the young hunter''s adoration?
31122We''lowed ye did n''t see nothin''of it through the tellingscope, did ye?
31122Whar would Wat be ef''t warn''t fur Justus?"
31122Whar''s Mr. Sneed''s horse?"
31122Whar''s the nex''place we air bound fur?"
31122What ails the gal?"
31122What ails ye ter be so good- fur- nuthin''?
31122What diff''unce do it make whether Con''s rifle- ball hit whar he aimed ter do or no, so he fetched him down somewhar?"
31122What evil might it portend?
31122What prospect of profit worth a long, lonely journey and a risk that ended in death?
31122What was there to"investigate"in the mountains?
31122Who married?"
31122Why must he needs die here, in this horrible unexplained way, and leave other men, chance associates, to risk stretching hemp for murder?
31122Why n''t ye gin the comp''ny a drink?"
31122Whyn''t ye water that sufferin''beast, ez air fairly honing ter drink?
31122Would he cut down all the trees on the mountain?
31122ter the west, an''a handshake ter the north, an''''Take a drink?''
31122thar, an''a clap on the shoulder ter the east, an''a''How''s yer health?''
31122whar_ is_ the gal?"
20941What shall I answer on the question, What is the confession of faith of the Lutheran Church? 20941 Yet we see that the washing and cleansing from sin is effected alone[?]
20941( 36 f.) The question,"How does the Spirit give testimony?"
20941--And how did they now seek to provide help?
2094127, 4:''What is that to us?
20941:''Baptized or not baptized, faith saves us?''
20941; this is the_ true blood_, etc., and in the formula of baptism: Peter, Paul, or Maria, dost thou renounce, etc.?"
20941A fourth put the question:''Can I not be a[ Presbyterian] predestinarian and also a Lutheran?''
20941Amos 3, 3:"How can two walk together except they be agreed?"
20941And for that reason some have no mind or inclination to come hither, and who shall maintaine this your cause or plaid for it?
20941And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
20941And the reason?
20941And those who steal or robb men, and those who buy or purchase them, are they not all alike?
20941And what of the pietism of the Halle emissaries in Pennsylvania?
20941And what will then become of the increased number of Germans dwelling in your midst?
20941And who would instruct them, in case they should desire to study theology?
20941And why?
20941Another thing, dearest brethren, how shall we in the future supply our congregations with pastors?
20941Are not both, Reason and Revelation, from heaven, always in agreement and the one supporting the other?"
20941Are the families of ministers a nobler race than other people, so that extraordinary provisions must be made for them in preference to others?
20941Are they sensible that they can not rationally defend their doctrines if they were scrutinized?
20941At the baptism of children it was our intention to ask the sponsors, or godparents: Do you renounce in the name of this child, etc.?
20941But if he erred, why do such as believe this call themselves Lutherans?
20941But if this is done well, what shall we say is done evill?
20941But what Christian can imagine that no error should be exposed, lest the persons who are guilty might be offended?"
20941By means of human laws and traditions popery was established.--Why are preparations made now again to introduce that horrid beast?
20941Can the beggar enrich the poor?
20941Can the blind lead the blind?
20941Can the sects give to Christendom what they themselves are in need of?
20941Can they form a better one?
20941Can we do this with a good conscience?"
20941David Henkel remarked:"Is the General Synod a plant which has been planted by the heavenly Father?
20941Do they not feel for their flocks?
20941Do they refuse because they consider the persons who interrogate them too far beneath their notice?
20941Do ye believe that the true body and blood of Christ are present, administered, and received under the external signs of bread and wine?
20941Do ye believe that the unbelieving communicants also eat and drink the body and blood of Christ?
20941Do ye intend to relinquish the General Synod, if in case ye can not prove the same to be founded in the Holy Scriptures?"
20941Do you desire some day to celebrate the eternal Sabbath with the saints and the perfected just before the throne of God?
20941Do you desire to escape hell?
20941Do you love civic rest?
20941Do you love your children?
20941Do you love your neighbors?
20941Do you love your parents?
20941Do you love your preachers, your Savior, and your souls?
20941Does not this( if it be the case) indicate that they are possessed with the pride of the devil?
20941For what do the unlearned know of the Augsburg Confession, or the Form of Concord, or the Synod of Dort?"
20941From Germany?
20941Had Christ established a general treasury, out of which He had hired His apostles by the month or year?
20941Had he refused to appear, especially before the Diet at Worms, what would have been the result?
20941Have I not heretofore offered them a reciprocal trial, even as it respects personal conduct?
20941Have we any nobility in America whom the people must bear upon their hands?
20941He was the only Lutheran minister who ever received, and perhaps desired[?]
20941How could I otherwise acquit them of such a charge, unless I would suppose that they in reality do not consider me as a false teacher?
20941How did the majority act against the Savior?
20941How does a man become partaker of another''s guilt but by being in connection with him, and not reproving it?
20941How is such a dangerous man to be treated by Christian pastors?
20941How should it be possible?
20941How was it in the days of Luther?
20941How was it in the time of Christ?
20941If Luther and the Lutheran Confessions erred,"why do such as believe this call themselves Lutherans?
20941If there are errors in this confession, why should any man who has discovered them yet pretend to preach under its covert?
20941If they answer in the negative, why, then, have they not positively specified in the constitution that such should remain the standard of the Church?
20941In an appeal to the Lutheran congregations they say:"Where will you at last find pastors and teachers if you do not send your children to college?
20941Indeed, how could a genuine unity- union movement originate with the sects?
20941Is he to be at liberty without reproof?
20941Is he to be opposed behind his back, and defeated by arguments, or rather invectives, to which he has no opportunity of replying?
20941Is it not degrading for Christians to depart so far from the paths of Christ and His apostles?
20941Is it not enough that we have His promise?
20941Is it rational to condemn either party without a trial?
20941Is there anything of this kind to be found in the Church?
20941It is the same as if it had said: the Church of Christ is but one united body, consisting of innumerable members; but what unites them?
20941Know ye not that ye shall judge angels?
20941Now consider well this thing, if it is good or bad?
20941Now what is this better done as Turcks doe?
20941Now, as Christ debated with wicked men, yea, with the devil himself, with what face can any man say, It is wrong to dispute on doctrinal topics?"
20941Now, what is the duty of the people under their care?
20941One of the chief questions to engage the attention of the first convention of Synod in 1748 was,"What is the condition of the schools?"
20941Or are they ashamed to let their sentiments be known?
20941Or have these Negers not as much right to fight for their freedom, as you have to keep them slaves?
20941Or upon mature deliberation, have ye concluded publicly to revoke the same as erroneous?
20941Or, indeed, have they the truth on their side, and yet fear to let it be known that they believe it, lest they should become unpopular?
20941Or, is it proper for Lutherans to commune with such?"
20941Others asked with tears,''Can I still be saved?''"
20941Ought Jesus Christ to be worshiped as true God and man in one person?
20941Ought they not to urge them to come to a reciprocal trial?
20941Possibly a secret Arian, Socinian, or Deist?
20941Some cried out,''My God, what shall I do that I may be saved?''
20941St. Paul, in writing to the Corinthians, said:''Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?
20941Still, where could a second man have been found at that time who would have proven equal to the task in the same measure as Henry Melchior Muhlenberg?
20941Suppose false teachers were to make a spurious translation of the Scriptures, how could such an illiterate body of ministers detect the forgery?
20941That the Bible is the proper rule of doctrine must be confessed; yet the question is, Does the Augustan Confession contradict it?
20941The appeal concludes:"Do you love your country?
20941The first was:''Whether he intended to separate from the North Carolina Synod?''
20941The great council of Jerusalem and thousands of their adherents, or Jesus of Nazareth, and the few of His disciples who were despised by the world?
20941The second:''Whether he was willing to be governed by a majority of preachers and delegates in the matters disputed?''
20941These are the reasons why we are against the traffick of men Body, as followeth: Is there any that would be done or handled at this manner?
20941Think you that your churches and schools can exist without them?
20941This did not betoken indifference[?]
20941Thus empowered, could they not also borrow money upon the credit of their whole community for the establishment of any institution?
20941Thus, as the years rolled on, the question became increasingly pressing:"Where shall we find pastors for our children?"
20941Was the mission of the primitive apostles conducted in this manner?
20941What is better calculated to induce hirelings to enter into the holy orders than their sure wages, by a general fund?"
20941What is that except to declare Baptism unnecessary?
20941What shall I say?
20941What was he against millions of the Papist Church?
20941What would be the result throughout Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland in forty or fifty years?
20941When a doctrine is in dispute between two parties, how shall the public decide when they never heard the opposite arguments?
20941Who supports the people''s widows and orphans?
20941Who was right?
20941Who, therefore, does not see that their teaching is most absurd and questionable?
20941Why are so many petitions sent to legislative bodies for incorporation?
20941Why are there so many attempts made to identify the Church with the State?
20941Why can not the Church of Christ be one flock under one Shepherd?
20941Why did they not accede to it?
20941Why do they flee?
20941Why does not every one lead a pious life?
20941Why does the constitution not once name them?"
20941Why have they given an opportunity to introduce a new confession?
20941Why is it adopted by this body?
20941Why these distances, controversies, disputes, mutual condemnations, why these splittings of formulas?
20941Will any of the votaries of the General Synod presume to say that this confession is erroneous, heretical, and wicked?
20941Will ye also maintain that the Christian Church may consist of twenty different opinions?
20941Would it not be better if every congregation had a fund of its own to support their needy at home?
20941Would it offend real Christians?
20941], because they belong to our organization and bear the name Lutheran?
20941and if it is done according to Christianity?
20941and that also the unbelieving communicants do eat and drink His body and blood?
20941and that they do not cherish the most aspiring views?
20941doe consider well this things, you who doe it; if you would be done at this manner?
20941he says:"Why are we not all united in love and union?
20941how much more things that pertain to this life?''
20941is that the way to bring up your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?
20941poor sinful mortals, do they exalt themselves above their fellowmen?
20941to be sold or made a slave for all the time of his life?
33970A lion?
33970An''_ what_ did you do with it, Ethelindy?
33970And did the man die?
33970And how do you account for that phase?
33970And so he went plumb through the cave?
33970And they came out all safe in Greenbrier?
33970And which do you say?
33970And which do_ you_ say?
33970And you think this untrained girl could take her place?
33970Bob,he addressed the toddler,"will you uns let daddy kerry ye like a baby?"
33970But what makes ye look so durned peaked?
33970But what will yer gran''dad say ter me?
33970But_ why_ hain''t ye got more, Basil? 33970 Could you- uns_ sure_ be back hyar by day- break, Watt?"
33970Daniel''s Lions? 33970 Did he collapse at last and verify the surgeon''s prophecy?"
33970Did he pay you in gold?
33970Did he see-- really----?
33970Did you get my check?
33970Do you know that you trouble yourself to talk very little, Captain Girard?
33970Do you know this Royston McGurny?
33970Does he state any reasons for making it public?
33970Done what?
33970Dr. Rigdon is not staying in the house, then?
33970Girard?
33970Got pretty good horse?
33970Have we got to cross this?
33970Have you any idea of where you are going, or how far?
33970Heavenly? 33970 Hey?
33970How could ye hev strengthened yer heart fur sech a deed onless the grace o''God prevailed mightily within ye? 33970 How did yer corn crap turn out?"
33970How do you uns know that?
33970How so? 33970 I dun''no''how fur smallpox kin travel-- an''it jes''mulls and mulls in ye afore it breaks out-- don''t it, S''briny?"
33970I may consider myself dismissed from the presence?
33970If I may ask, who is this lady who seems to give the law to the community?
33970If that is true, why should he stay in this quiet place?
33970In the show?
33970In what school did you acquire your trenchant style?
33970Is n''t the moon heavenly?
33970Is this bona- fide?
33970Is this what you had to tell me?
33970Kerry the baby? 33970 Me?"
33970Mighty long tramp fur Bobbie, thar,--whyn''t ye kerry him?
33970Mr. Gordon, is it not? 33970 No?
33970Not intentionally, Major, but----"And who are you to judge of my motives? 33970 Or in greenbacks?
33970Remember, Mr. Whitmel, at that fight we had in the hills not far from the Ocoee, how you rebuked two artillerymen for swearing? 33970 See the fire?
33970Sergeant,he hailed the guidon,"where is Captain Dovinger?"
33970Shot somebody?
33970So they came into Tanglefoot down the road, and went out of the Cove by this tunnel?
33970That thar bar?
33970That tree? 33970 The boy wo n''t die, then?"
33970The murder, ye mean? 33970 Then why n''t ye leave it ter men?"
33970Think? 33970 Used to see that sort of thing in the army?
33970Ventriloquist?
33970Waal, war Clem Tweed funnin''whenst he done sech ez that, in levyin''an execution?
33970Warn''t it prime?
33970Whar did he die at?
33970Whar is this fool goin''?
33970What ailed you- uns ter name_ me_ as the corpus,''Gene Barker?
33970What did he level, Medory-- a gun?
33970What did you do it fur?
33970What fur should I tell it--''t ai n''t mine?
33970What has become of the troopers?
33970What is the reward offered to hale him forth and force him to enjoy that privilege-- five hundred dollars?
33970What makes him limp?
33970What sorter fool talk is that?
33970What''s all this?
33970What''s her name-- Meggy?
33970What''s yer cargo?
33970What''s yer name?
33970What-- what-- is-- that Thing-- over there on the bank of the bogue?
33970Where are the other officers of the squadron-- the junior captain, the lieutenants?
33970Where''s this girl-- you?
33970Who are Captain Girard''s people, Papa?
33970Who sits so late at the forge?
33970Who was the man?
33970Whut''s in the box?
33970Whut-- w- whut ails him ter take arter Tanglefoot? 33970 Why n''t ye keep the top on yer coffee- can?
33970Why not? 33970 Why, do n''t you know that''s against the law?"
33970Why, what does all this mean?
33970Whyn''t they bury him in Eskaqua, whar he died?
33970Whyn''t ye wait for me, Sher''ff? 33970 Will ye deny ez ye hev he d a sign from the heavens, Jubal Kennedy?"
33970Will you tell it, Mr. Gordon, or shall I?
33970Wo n''t them candidates fur office be mighty mad if they find out what it war sure enough?
33970Would you be afraid of the lion, child?
33970Ye ai n''t no snake, now-- nary toad-- nary green rabbit-- no sort''n jim- jam?
33970Ye air in no danger of fire, then?
33970Ye know that gal named Loralindy Byars?
33970You contemplate giving it to the public,he said to Gordon;"why not try its effect on a disinterested listener first, and judge from that?"
33970You did n''t see no guide whenst they slipped past you- uns''house, did ye?
33970You learned that argument from Geraldine-- he is nothing but an echo of Geraldine, Mr. Gordon-- now, is n''t he, Mamma?
33970You showed him the way to this pass yourself? 33970 An''what d''ye s''pose I seen? 33970 And at what time had this dread fate befallen his friend? 33970 And what do you think about, pray?
33970And who would believe that?
33970Basil, the wife, the children,--where were they?
33970But he was at once doubtful and relieved when the haggard wretch at the door, mustering his courage, replied:"Know Royston McGurny?
33970But how?
33970But was it not told already in those tracks in the dusty road?
33970But, meantime, how does the fellow contrive to live?"
33970Daniel''s Lions?"
33970Do n''t ye know the coffee will lose heart, settin''open?"
33970George?"
33970Gordon?"
33970Had he found justice so alert to redress his wrongs, even in a little matter, that he must needs risk his neck upon it?
33970Had he overheard their unguarded, significant words?
33970Had he, indeed, no foundation for his suspicion?
33970Hev you- uns got any aigs?"
33970Honest?"
33970How had she the heart to deprive them of his willing aid?
33970How_ could_ you- uns let sech ez that happen?"
33970If your command is annihilated, why do you keep up this commotion?"
33970Is the man deaf?"
33970It''s a heavenly body, ai n''t it?"
33970Keene?"
33970Kinnicutt''s brow contracted angrily, and Crann broke into open wrath:"An''I ai n''t carin'', ye fool-- what d''ye interrupt fur like that?"
33970More than once his superior muscle sufficed to throw off both the officers for a moment, but to what avail?
33970Mrs. Keene acceded as the two young men shook hands; then, evidently perturbed by her lack of ceremony, she exclaimed pettishly,"Where is Geraldine?
33970Never had a golden opportunity like this been lost-- by what uncovenanted chance had Tolhurst escaped?
33970Oh, why had he not gone with the rest of the camp?
33970Or mebbe in Cornfed money?"
33970Or, Seymour again doubted, had he merely constructed a figment of a scheme from his own imaginings and these attenuations of suggestion?
33970Self- defense-- was it?
33970She watched him flinch, and asked wonderingly,"Is game skeerce?"
33970Tell me, you men, is this a testamentary paper, and you think it against the law to destroy it?"
33970Then Dr. Trent broke forth:"Are you a fool, boy?
33970Then as the schemer remained silent he demanded, frowning darkly,"What''s Loralindy Byars got ter do with it?"
33970Then, aloud,"Why do n''t you uns kerry the baby, Basil Bedell, an''give yer wife a rest?"
33970Therefore, with a sedulous effort, Hoxer maintained his composure when the Major thundered again,"You tax me with making a false impression?"
33970Told a lie by accident, did I?
33970WHO CROSSES STORM MOUNTAIN?
33970War it the sheriff himself ez levied?"
33970Warn''t that you- uns runnin''arter the wagon a piece back yonder jes a while ago?"
33970Was not the whole neighborhood swarming with canine dependents?
33970Was this the only cur- dog in the Bend?
33970Whar else?"
33970What had befallen her voice?
33970What strange influence had betided the landscape?
33970What was their game?
33970What ye want?"
33970Where''s the man?"
33970Who be dead?"
33970Who could divine, so silent were the windless mountains, so deep a- dream the darksome woods, so spell- bound the mute and mystic moonlight?
33970Who was she, indeed, that she should seek to command the march of events and deploy sequences?
33970Why should the laggard inspiration come so late if it had come at all?
33970Whyn''t ye work more and quit wastin''yer time on that old fool fiddle?"
33970Will_ you_ be waiting fur me here in Tanglefoot Cove-- if I promise not to hang you fur your misdeeds right off now?"
33970Would she dig up that box he treasured from whar he told her he he d buried it, arter he escaped from the attack o''the miners?
33970how did he get so footsore?"
33970ye jes''now f''und that out, dad?"
35619What kin you- uns view on the mounting?
35619''''Crost the line in the old North State?''
35619''Ai n''t you- uns''most tired out, Euraliny?''
35619''Air it the Good Book?''
35619''Air old Mis''Cayce''s gyarden- truck suff''rin''fur rain?''
35619''Air the orchard mine, or the raiders''?
35619''Air you- uns thinkin ez I''ll''low ez I would hev married a man four months ago ez never axed me ter marry, nohow?''
35619''An''I wo n''t be''lected, hey?''

35619''Be them men a- wraistlin''?''
35619''Be you- uns a- goin''ter hold fo''th,''demanded the old woman,''or Brother Jake Tobin?''
35619''Be you- uns satisfied?''
35619''Brother Reuben Bates, will ye lead us in prayer?''
35619''But who wants ter go ter heftin''rocks?''
35619''Ca n''t ye''light an''sot a while''an talk, Rick?''
35619''D''rindy,''he said suddenly,''ye set a heap o''store on Rick Tyler?''
35619''D''ye reckon that he wanted ter go ter jail in Shaftesville?''
35619''D- d- did what?''
35619''Damn ye, what is it?''
35619''Did he hurt yer feelin''s?''
35619''Did they git enny shower up in the mounting, Amos?''
35619''Did they live in thar lifetime up hyar in the Big Smoky, or in the valley kentry?''
35619''Did ye ketch him?''
35619''Enny news''round the mill, Amos?''
35619''Grind some fur we- uns ter- morrer?''
35619''He hain''t been so delivered over by the Lord ez ter kem agin, arter informin''the raiders, inter the Big Smoky?''
35619''He hain''t nosed you- uns out yit, hev he, Rick?''
35619''Hev they tuk him ter jail-- the pa''son-- Pa''son Kelsey?''
35619''Hev ye jes''fund that out?''
35619''Hev you- uns hearn the news?''
35619''How air the moral vineyard a- thrivin''?''
35619''How''d Rick Tyler say he got away from the sher''ff, ennyhow?''
35619''How''d ye git away, Rick?''
35619''How''s granny?''
35619''I hedn''t let on a word, he d I, D''rindy?''
35619''I s''pose ez you- uns hev hearn the news?''
35619''I s''pose not, bein''ez ye never drinks nuthin''but buttermilk, do ye?''
35619''In the name o''Gawd, D''rindy, what air you- uns a- wantin''me ter do?''
35619''In the name o''reason,''exclaimed the young fellow petulantly,''why ca n''t he pray somewhar else?
35619''Is it a weddin'', D''rindy?''
35619''Jacob,''she softly drawled,''whyn''t ye go ter bed?''
35619''Kin ye read yer book, pa''son, an''ride yer beastis all ter wunst?''
35619''Lord A''mighty, air the corn mine, or no?''

35619''Which way did he go?''
35619''Who be ye a- goin''ter cut?''
35619''Who does this?''
35619''Who said ye warn''t goin''ter be''lected?''
35619''Who''s that?''

35619''Why air Mirandy Jane called ter l''arn how ter cook vittles?''
35619''Why did he''low ez that warn''t comin''ter pass?''

35619''Whyn''t ye tell me that man warn''t thar?''
35619''Whyn''t you- uns git him ter bed?''
35619''Whyn''t you- uns go on his bond?''
35619''Will ye come?''
35619''Wo n''t the Court let the pa''son go free now, sence they know ye done no crime?''
35619''Would ye be afeared, D''rindy, ter marry a man ez would hev ter keep his life, and yourn, mebbe, with this pistol?
35619''Would ye be afeared?''
35619''Ye ai n''t goin''ter be''lected, air ye,''Cajah Green?''
35619''Ye ai n''t kem up the Big Smoky a- huntin''fur Rick Tyler?''
35619''Ye hain''t seen nor hearn of him, I s''pose, hev ye?''
35619''Ye war a- prayin''fur''em on the bald?''
35619''Ye wo n''t gin the reason?''
35619Air that a true word?''
35619Air''Cajah Green a- goin''ter be''lected?''
35619Airish out o''doors, ai n''t it?
35619An''ye fund it out?''
35619And although the parson preached no more, who shall say his sermons were ended?
35619And what was that sound on the air?
35619And where did he say he went with the apples?
35619Ca n''t ye set an''drink yer liquor sociable,''thout clinchin''that- a- way?
35619Could he look at them and doubt that one day he should see God?
35619Had he not confessed himself an evil- doer, forsaken of God and bereft of grace?
35619He was on his knees: was he praying?
35619How kem you- uns ter git the nightmare''bout''n the raiders?
35619I s''pose ye hain''t seen him hyar- abouts?''
35619In the plenitude of their ignorant faith, were they listening for the invoked voice of God?
35619Law, Rick, ef the murderer would say the word ter set ye free, ca n''t ye do ez much fur the pa''son, ez hev seen so much trouble a''ready?''
35619Mirandy Jane''s mythical raider, and mam''s dream, and D''rindy''s folly-- were these to baffle that stout- hearted old soldier?
35619She stopped him with some difficulty, and then,''Convicted of sin?''
35619Should she speak the thought nearest to her heart?
35619Should she suggest a rescue?
35619Should she urge them to go?
35619Since there was nothing to gain, why humble himself in vain?
35619Ter kill sech chillen ez happen ter make game o''ye?
35619That quick glance was incongruous with his dullard aspect; it held a spark of fire, inspiration, frenzy-- who can say?
35619Then, with a moral hardihood that matched his physical prowess, he asked,''An''what ef I be?''
35619Then,''What ails ye, Rick?
35619Then:''Hain''t you- uns hearn how the Cayces turned out agin ye at the''lection?
35619This anxious, browbeaten, humiliated creature-- was this Micajah Green?
35619Those fine immaterial issues of faith and unfaith-- where were they?
35619Waal, now, who made that law?
35619Was it the rising of the wind?
35619Was this lukewarm inattention the guerdon of the sacrifice of the cross?
35619Were not the words of his prophecy still on the air?
35619Were these the sincerities of faith?
35619Whar did ye go, ennyhow, when ye war on the mounting?''
35619What ails the gal?''
35619What did Pete do ter ye, Amos?''
35619What did the doctor say ye gin her?
35619What sort o''weather is this?''
35619When war she buried?--las''week or year afore las''?
35619Where had he been?
35619Which fork o''the road is it ye take fur the still-- I furgit-- the lef''or the right?''
35619Which way did he go?''
35619Who air under conviction hyar?''
35619Who had heard of them, and when did they come, and where did they go?
35619Who is the happy man, D''rindy?''
35619Who sold Rick Tyler that powder, Mister Hoodendin?''
35619Why ai n''t I goin''ter be''lected?''
35619Why did he deny?
35619Why should he linger, and wring his heart, and garner bitterness to feed upon in his lonely days?
35619Whyn''t ye speak the truth ter her, pa''son?
35619Would ye be afeared?''
35619Would ye-- would ye hev married me then?''
35619Ye would n''t let him do that ef ye could holp it, would ye, Rick?''
35619he asked familiarly,''and D''rindy?''
35619he would say; or,''Do n''t ye feel wore in yer backbone, hevin''ter wait so long?''
35619or,''Hedn''t ye better lay down on the blanket in the waggin an''rest yer bones, bein''ez we- uns started''fore daybreak?''
35619said the sheriff, smiling fixedly,''or had ye ruther be fetched?''
13202Ai n''t your name Sam?
13202Are they spies?
13202Can anybody tell me whar them Yanks are? 13202 Did you ever look?"
13202Did you have horns, Uncle Zack?
13202Hello, Lee, what does Cleburne say the Yankees are doing at Jonesboro?
13202Hello,says Hood,"Whar in the Dickens and Tom Walker are them Yanks, hey?
13202How do you know then?
13202How do you sell it?
13202How much is your fish worth?
13202Lee, ask Cleburne if he feels feinty? 13202 Now, where are you, Johnny Reb?
13202WHAT IS THIS REBEL DOING HERE?
13202Well, Uncle Zack, what sort of a looking lamb were you?
13202Well, after you got to heaven, what did you do then?
13202Well, how often did they shear the lambs, Uncle Zack?
13202Well, sir, that''s too thin; why did you not get a pass?
13202Well, what color were the lambs, Uncle Zack?
13202Were there no old rams or ewes among them?
13202What command do you belong to, sir?
13202What is it, boss?
13202What is that you say?
13202What is the matter? 13202 What regiment are you from?"
13202What regiment do you belong to?
13202What regiment is your detail from?
13202What''s the matter now?
13202What?
13202You are whipped, are n''t you?
13202200, are you?"
13202200?"
13202AM PROMOTED"Why, hello, corporal, where did you get those two yellow stripes from on your arm?"
13202After the fighting was over, where, O where, was all the fine rigging heretofore on our officers?
13202Ah, ha, have you stacked your arms for a surrender?"
13202Am I mistaken?
13202And then to hear some fellow ask,"Why ai n''t you with them, then, you cowardly puppy?
13202And what wonder that General Bragg''s name became a terror to deserters and evil doers?
13202Any news or letters that you wish carried home?
13202Approaching Sergeant A. S. Horsley, he said,"Vy ish you got nodings mit your knapsack?
13202Are we going to be captured?
13202Are we worthy to be called the sons of old Maury county?
13202As soon as he saw me, he said,"Who have you there-- a prisoner, or a deserter?"
13202Ask him how a fellow feels when he feints?"
13202BATTLE OF RESACCA Well, you want to hear about shooting and banging, now, gentle reader, do n''t you?
13202Did I see my comrades buried and see the violet and wild flowers bloom over their graves?
13202Did I see our country laid waste and in ruins?
13202Did I see soldiers marching, the earth trembling and jarring beneath their measured tread?
13202Did I see the flag of my country, that I had followed so long, furled to be no more unfurled forever?
13202Did I see the ruins of smouldering cities and deserted homes?
13202Did I see those brave and noble countrymen of mine laid low in death and weltering in their blood?
13202Did my eyes deceive me?
13202Do you recollect in that year, for the first time in your life, of hearing Dixie and the Bonnie Blue Flag?
13202Do you think we can take them?
13202Does He who noteth the sparrow''s fall, and numbers the hairs of our heads, have any interest in one like ourselves?
13202EATING MUSSELS Reader, did you ever eat a mussel?
13202EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY- ONE Reader mine, did you live in that stormy period?
13202Every man I met had a furlough; in fact, it seemed to have the very double- extract of romance about it--"fur too, eh?"
13202Every one who passed would be hailed with,"Well, what news from the front?"
13202Finally, he closed the book with a slam and started off, and said I,"Did you want to find out my name?"
13202From what command?
13202Hans, vat fer ish dot shooting mit mein left wing?
13202Happening to catch sight of me, he asked,"What is this Rebel doing here?"
13202He had no nerves, or rather, has a rock or tree any nerves?
13202He rode on down the road toward me, and when he had approached,"Who goes there?"
13202He took Alf''s knapsack and on opening it, what do you suppose was in it?
13202Here is a sample of the colloquy that followed:"Mister, have some butter?"
13202Here was the field, and here were the roastingears; but where was the raft or canoe?
13202How many of those 120 original members are with the company today?
13202How much more valuable are we than many sparrows?
13202I asked several other fellows what in the dickens did all this mean?
13202I asked the litter corps,"Who have you there?"
13202I could not help thinking all the time,"Ai n''t that old woman dead yet?"
13202I opened my eyes, and asked,"Who are you?"
13202I ran to the road and asked them what was the matter?
13202I said,"When?
13202I thought that I recognized the voice in the darkness-- and said I,"Who are you?"
13202I turned away and thought how long, how long will I have to witness these things?
13202I walked on as if I was just relieved, and had passed their lines, when I turned back, and says I,"Captain, what guard is this?"
13202I went back, and says I,"Who fired those two shots?"
13202In looking back over these pages, I ask, Where now are many whose names have appeared in these sketches?
13202In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and sixty- one, do you remember those stirring times?
13202Is it a bargain?"
13202Is it true that I have seen all these things?
13202Is that some high office?
13202Is your army going to advance on us?"
13202Ish dot der Repels, Hans?
13202JOHN WHITTAKER THEN COMES THE FARCE PALMETTO JEFF DAVIS MAKES A SPEECH ARMISTICE ONLY IN NAME A SCOUT WHAT IS THIS REBEL DOING HERE?
13202John says,"Madam, do you want that dog killed, sure enough?"
13202Johnny answered,"What do you want?"
13202Meynheer Dutchman comes out; and says,"Ish dot so?
13202Not who was the best general, or colonel, or captain-- but"who ranked?"
13202Now, reader, what do you suppose that negro was doing?
13202Now, we tagged first, why do n''t you tag back?
13202Now, what became of the original 3,200?
13202Or have we fought in vain?
13202Preacher, ai n''t that old woman dead yet?"
13202Reader, I ask you who you think was to blame?
13202Reader, were you ever held in reserve of an attacking army?
13202Say, captain, say, if yet my task be done?
13202Says I,"Are you speaking to me?"
13202Says I,"Colonel Field, what''s the matter?
13202Says I,"Galbreath, what are you making a fool of yourself that way for?
13202Says I,"What is the long roll for?"
13202Says I:"Madam, how do you sell your eggs?"
13202Says he,"What''s this?
13202Stewart, do you think you will be able to get through with your job of blowing up by day after tomorrow, or by Saturday at twelve o''clock?
13202Take off that coat and those chicken guts; coo, sheep; baa, baa, black sheep; flicker, flicker; ai n''t you ashamed of yourself?
13202That''s your plan, is it?
13202The whole army is routed and running; had n''t you better be getting away from here?
13202Then I said,"Wright, why do n''t you jump out of that wagon and run?"
13202Then you take it up to the general; the guard stops you in a very formal way, and asks,"What do you want?"
13202Then, said he,"What is your name?"
13202They answered,"Matter enough; yonder are the Yankees, are you infantry fellows going to make a stand here?"
13202To hear some of our boys ask,"What regiment is that?
13202We are not supported; what is the matter?
13202We halted but a moment, and said I,"Colonel, where are you wounded?"
13202We will get millions of dollars by robbery alone, do n''t you see?"
13202Well, Yank, why do n''t you come on and take us?
13202Well, what news?
13202Well, what was to be done?
13202Well, what''s the matter now?
13202Well, you have come here to fight us; why do n''t you come on?
13202Were they true men?
13202What are you going to do about it?
13202What could I do?
13202What could we do?
13202What do you suppose he was doing?
13202What does that mean?
13202What does this yell mean?
13202What is the matter?
13202What next?
13202What regiment is that?"
13202What was I to do?
13202What was it worth?"
13202What''s the matter?
13202What?
13202When I could hold in no longer, I laughed out, and said,"Well, Walter, what luck last night?"
13202Where are many of my old friends and comrades, whose names were so familiar at every roll call, and whose familiar"Here"is no more?
13202Where are they tonight?
13202Where were our generals?
13202Who are they?
13202Why do n''t you let us hear the cannon''s opening roar?
13202Why do n''t you rattle a few old muskets over there at us?
13202Why do n''t you unbottle your thunderbolts and dash us to pieces?
13202Why?
13202Will this pay you for your hog?"
13202Y''S YOU GOT MY HOG?
13202Yank says,"What you doing, Johnny?"
13202Yank would halloo over and say,"Well, Johnny, have you got everything across?"
13202You are going to starve us out, eh?
13202You say,"Well, General, what is the matter with it?"
13202You''ve got the dry grins, arn''t you?
13202[ Author''s note: In the Southern army the question was, who ranked?

13202what is that?
13202who goes there?"
13202who goes there?"
14863All the hundred dollars all by herself, Jane?
14863All women do, Evelina, why not you-- live with James?
14863And then you will be here by yourself, so you can watch over Cousin James, as much as your work will allow you, ca n''t you, Evelina?
14863And you will be glad to have me-- come and live for a time in your home life, dear?
14863And-- and all of his-- his guests are really dependent on him?
14863Are we free women, and have we, or have we not, command of our own storerooms and our own servants and our own time and strength?
14863Are you coming-- are you coming to live with us, Evelina? 14863 Are you going to let us make another dress for the kiddies, Sallie, dear?"
14863Are you ready, Evelina? 14863 Big scheme this-- got him in a corner if the C.& G. comes along this side of Old Harpeth-- make him squeal-- hey?"
14863But what shall we do if they do n''t want to have it?
14863But what_ are_ you going to do, Evelina?
14863But-- but would n''t it be a little crowded for him to have another-- another vine-- that is, exactly what would he do with me? 14863 Did it ever occur to you, Evelina, that your Cousin James is really a radiantly beautiful man?
14863Did they consult you before deciding to refuse your suggestion?
14863Do I have to answer?
14863Do n''t you all''spose God made the sun some to heat up Kit''s stomach?
14863Do n''t you know when youse left?
14863Do n''t you think he looks scraggy in that long- tailed coat, shocks of taggy hair and a collar big enough to fit Old Harpeth?
14863Do n''t you want to come with us?
14863Do you know, Polk, there is one woman in the world who could-- could handle you?
14863Do you suppose we will ever get all of the clothes done for the twins?
14863Do you think that there-- there are any signs of-- of such a thing yet?
14863Do you use the same methods with grown beasts that you do with cubs?
14863Do you want me single- handed to get the bluff line chosen?
14863Does-- does Cousin James have to support Sallie and the children, Uncle Peter?
14863Done what?
14863Evelina, are you real or a-- farce?
14863Everything but what he carries around under that old gray hat of his-- not so bad a fortune, at that!--hey?
14863Have we or have we not?
14863Have you made up your mind fully to go in for public life, Nell?
14863Have you said anything about this to Sallie?
14863Hey? 14863 How many families has he with him now?"
14863I have asked, when did the men of Glendale begin to dictate to the women as to whom they should offer their hospitality?
14863I wonder if I ought to make up my mind to stay with him? 14863 I''d be mighty particular as to who handles me,"he answered impudently,"Want to try?"
14863If I were to take my hat and go back to the gate and come in again properly and let you do it, would that make you feel any better?
14863If women eat out loud before everybody why ca n''t they pray their thank- you out loud like any man?
14863If you could define a real woman, Polk, in what terms would you express her?
14863If you wanted me any time, would you tell me, Evelina?
14863If you was on a train, what did you git offen it_ here_ for?
14863If you were ever lonely and needed me, Evelina, you would tell me, would n''t you?
14863Is n''t that old mossback a treat for the sight of gods and men?
14863Is n''t there anything to feed the monsters this side of the river?
14863It would be a good thing to get about a half dozen cakes, would n''t it?
14863Jamie, is all you''ve got tied up in the venture?
14863Lonely-- hey?
14863Must we tell them about it or not?
14863Must you, Eve?
14863Not yet, but do n''t you feel sure that she will consent?
14863Now, what shall we put in the portmanteau first? 14863 Now?"
14863Of course, I should be desolate without mine, but what could I do with them, if I did n''t have all of you dear people to help me with them?
14863Oh, Henrietta, how could you nearly kill your little sister like this?
14863Oh, Polk, how could you have misunderstood me like this?
14863Oh, has Cousin James really lost all of his fortune?
14863Polk, do you see any logical, honest or dishonest way to get that Road to take the Glendale bluff line?
14863That would be lovely, Aunt Augusta, and how are you?
14863The men of this town will show the uprising hussies what we think of''em, and put''em back to the heels of men, where they belong-- belong-- hey?
14863Then, why should you wonder and suffer and restrain and be humiliated at your love for Polk?
14863Uncle Peter,I said, as I stepped out in front of him suddenly,"please, Uncle Peter, wo n''t you come in and talk to me?"
14863Want any good, smelly soap?
14863We''ve no time for questions, Evelina, now-- go back to your tatting-- hey?
14863Well, Sallie Carruthers will get him, and then there''ll be a dozen more to run the measure over-- children-- hey? 14863 Well, they brought on this nice companionable hunt for them, did n''t they?"
14863Well, what_ are_ you going to do, Evelina?
14863What did Dodson have to say-- is he coming across?
14863What did he say?
14863What do you mean?
14863What do you suppose is the why of such useless things as slugs?
14863What for did you all unpack outen the surrey, if you sawed the train go by?
14863What is it?
14863What makes it of advantage for a railroad to run through any given point in a rural community like this, Cousin James?
14863What''s a lovely lady doing sitting all by herself in the gloaming?
14863What''s the matter?
14863Where are you and her going at,--fishing?
14863Who''s Dodson?
14863Why did n''t you go over and live in James''s hennery-- live with James-- hey?
14863Why not tell him about it and ask him if he loves you?
14863Why, Evelina Shelby, you darling thing, when did you come?
14863Why, Henrietta, my own, can it be you who utter such cruel sentiments in my absence?
14863Why, Henrietta, what is the matter?
14863Why, Uncle Jasper, how did you know I was here?
14863Will you come again, Uncle Peter?
14863Will you go over and sit in that chair while I tell you something calmly, quietly, and seriously? 14863 Will you try?"
14863Wire especially impassioned?
14863Would any other arms do for the rocking?
14863Yes, Henrietta, but you--"Ai n''t she whole all over and clean?
14863You mean, do n''t you, Jamie, that you want to get Glendale past this place that is-- humiliating-- swimming with her head up?
14863A lot of useless old live stock-- all but Sallie, and she''s worse-- worse, hey?"
14863A woman like Sallie would not be content with producing less than a dozen of her kind-- hey?"
14863Ai n''t that the understanding, Tuny?"
14863Also, could the time ever come when a woman would n''t risk hanging over the ragged edge of Heaven to hold on to the hand of some man?
14863And I--""Oh, Mrs. Shelby, is it-- is it smallpox?"
14863And truly if the world is in the dusk of the dawn of a new day, what can men and women do but cling tight and feel their way-- together?
14863And whom did she have sitting at her blue, embroidered linen elbow but Richard Hall himself?
14863Are you coming?
14863Are you sure that he is not a fit subject for your consideration in the matter of a choice for a mate?
14863Be frank with Polk as to how much he asphyxiates me?
14863Besides, why should a man want to take an independent, explosive, impudent firebrand with all sorts of dreadful plots in her mind to his heart?
14863But I wonder what I would do if Sallie attired him in any of the late Henry''s wearing apparel?
14863But suppose I do get Polk calmed down to a nice friendship after old Plato''s recipe, what if I want to marry him?
14863But that is_ all_--and it does n''t sound revolutionary, does it, Jane?
14863But why should n''t I?
14863But, suppose I should lose all love for everybody in this queer quest for enlightenment I have undertaken?
14863CHAPTER IV SWEETER WHEN TAMED?
14863CHAPTER X TOGETHER?
14863Can we turn and make good the fight-- or wo n''t we be torn to death?
14863Can you come and git her loose for me?"
14863Can you marry me in the morning so we can take the noon express from Bolivar?
14863Could he be trifling with Jane?
14863Could human nature have done better than that?
14863Could such achievement be for me?
14863Did you choose me wisely for these experiments, Jane?
14863Do I want to marry a friend?
14863Do all women feel about the Crag as I do?
14863Do you not see it in that light?"
14863Do you think we can make it?"
14863Evelina?"
14863Glad to have you home, child, good young blood to stir me up-- hey?"
14863Go on and read it and do not disturb the workings of my brain while I wait for James-- workings of a great brain-- hey?"
14863Great idea of mine and that Yankee girl''s-- great idea-- hey?"
14863Has honeysuckle- garbed Old Harpeth been seeing things like this go on for centuries and not interrupted?
14863Has n''t it been a lovely day?"
14863Have I your permission to withdraw?
14863Her helplessness is very beautiful and tender, but in a way tragic, do n''t you think?"
14863How are you, Evelina, and are you crazy, Sallie Carruthers?"
14863How can he help loving Sallie with her so emphatically there?
14863How could you be so mistaken, as to both him and his personal appearance, as to apply such a name as Crag to him?"
14863How could you have ever thought such a man as he is lacking in seriousness of purpose, dear?"
14863How do I know that he has n''t had all sorts of cold, creepy feeling''s keeping him from proposing to Caroline?
14863How does a man even know if a woman is--?
14863How long is the torture to go on?"
14863How old is this Mr. Hayes, on whom you have chosen to note the reactions of sisterly affection?
14863How was I to know what was going on on the other side of the fan?
14863I did n''t want Mr. Haley, but what if I had?
14863I know Widegables is wide, but that is a houseful, is n''t it?"
14863I see that, and I want to help-- but if I''m stupid about life, will you hold my hand in the dark?"
14863I sometimes feel ashamed of the catastrophes I have to pray quick about, but what would I do if I could n''t?
14863I wonder if men have as good times planning the culmination of their suits as I am having with mine?
14863Is n''t it a glorious thing to realize that neither she nor I will have to sit and be tortured by waiting to see what those men are going to do?
14863It would then be nip and tuck between you and Sallie which got James-- nip and tuck-- hey?"
14863Jasper?"
14863Joshua?"
14863May I?"
14863Might as well marry her-- hey?"
14863Now will you promise to be happy?"
14863Now, how did he know I called him the Crag in my heart?
14863Now, what do you think of that, Jane?
14863Now, will she?"
14863Oh, may I go, Sallie?
14863Piled rotten old business and big family on to James''s shoulders, and then died-- good time-- hey?
14863Polk?"
14863Poor James-- hey?"
14863Poor tot, she does have a hard and hardening time-- and how can I lecture her for swearing?
14863SWEETER WHEN TAMED?
14863Shall I double and take refuge in a labyrinth of subterfuge or turn and fight?
14863Shall I give you some sort of written agreement?"
14863Surely he would n''t refuse me, but how do I know for sure?
14863TOGETHER?
14863Ten babies, twenty babies if necessary-- hey?"
14863The commanding, black old man, and the happy- faced, plump, little yellow woman, had saved one situation-- and forced another, perhaps?
14863Uncle Peter?"
14863What about that?
14863What could any woman want more than her work and a man like that?
14863What do you think?"
14863What do you want to fool with Evelina this time of day for anyway?"
14863What is it?"
14863Where''d you get that Yankee school- marm-- hey?
14863While you are in the drug store, if you have time, wo n''t you please select me a new tooth- brush and some nice kind of paste that you think is good?
14863Why do n''t she get a husband and a baby and settle down?
14863Why should n''t I tell Jane what I really thought of Cousin James and discuss him broadly and frankly?
14863Why should n''t I want to eat by myself?
14863Will you believe me?"
14863Will you give me a hearing?"
14863Women are all fools,--hey?"
14863Women with no brains-- but all heart-- all heart-- hey?"
14863Yes, why ca n''t I love Polk as I love you, Jane, and have him enjoy it?
14863Yes, why?
14863You are not being tempted to shirk any of your duties of womanhood because of your interest in your art, are you?
14863You had heard of my loss?"
14863You see, Evelina?
14863[ Illustration:"Is this right?"

36771An''how did I know?
36771An''what air ye wantin''a pore ole''oman like me ter talk about?"
36771As he looked down the slope below he thought the snow seemed broken-- by footprints, was it?
36771As the two dripping horses struggled up the steep incline he asked,"Did the man with her see the manifestation also?"
36771Could n''t ye gin it house- room?
36771Dawn?
36771Did a fitful blast stir the door?

36771For a gruff voice within growled out a remonstrance:"What ye doin''that fur, Steve?
36771Grinnell slouched up and sat down among them, responding with a nod to the unceremonious"Hy''re, Job?"
36771Hev that thar candle got enny call ter bide in that thar winder?"
36771How be I ever a- goin''''bout''mongst the folks at the settlement agin with my darter married ter a Kittredge?

36771Now he only knew it the more surely; and what did this avail him, and how aid in the capture of the recusant clerk and assistant postmaster?
36771Now, the p''int o''law ez I wanted ter ax the lawyers''bout air this-- kin the ranger be the ranger an''the taker- up too?"
36771Seems toler''ble long range fur a pistol, do n''t it?
36771Sometimes in a seeming pause he could catch their lisping sibilant tones repeating, repeating-- what?
36771Suddenly--"Ever weigh him?"
36771THE PHANTOM OF THE FOOT- BRIDGE OLD JOEL QUIMBEY"''WHY''N''T YE GIN DAD THEM MESSAGES?''"
36771The Quimbey and Kittredge factions poured into the hall; what cared they for the disputed claims of Jenkins_ versus_ Jones?
36771The mystic letters, the inspired words, where were they?
36771Then aloud,"Whar''s mam?"
36771Then, lifting his gloomy, long- lashed eyes to the bridge far up the stream, he asked,"Whose''harnts''?"
36771Then, taking thought and courage together,"Ye ca n''t say the Bible ai n''t down on''strong drink''?"
36771Was ever chorus so sweet as this?
36771Was not the stranger furnished with the fullest credentials-- a letter to Roxby from the Colonel?
36771Was this the seer of ghosts-- Dundas marvelled-- this the Millicent whose pallid and troubled phantom already paced the foot- bridge?

36771What made her like him?"
36771What ought I ter hev done?"
36771What will folks do''bout thar deeds, an''mortgages, an''sech?
36771Where was its potency, her enthusiasm?
36771Who dared so much as say a word to his face?
36771Who knows what memories were a- stalk there-- what semblance of former times?
36771Who knows-- who knows?
36771Who made''em his''n?"
36771Why air ye a- waitin''thar?"
36771Why could he not have discovered Leander''s whereabouts earlier, and by now be jogging along the road home with the boy by his side?

3745Ai n''t Tom always a- contriving with you to sneak one of his shirts into your wash, so as not to hurt me and Cindy''s feelings? 3745 Ai n''t he good to look at?"
3745Ai n''t nobody going to sing for Mis''Bostick?
3745Ai n''t they all the Lord''s blessings?
3745Anybody sick?
3745Are n''t they lovely and plumy?
3745Are she rich or poor? 3745 Are you sure, sure you''re not disappointed about-- about that peony- girl?"
3745Are you- going to take everybody on the trip?
3745Are you?
3745But can you give me five of''em? 3745 But how are we a- going to just give''em things offen a cold collar?
3745But the little baby chicken-- what DID become of it?
3745But what can the matter be?
3745But you want his wife to-- to love him, do n''t you?
3745But, Mother,remonstrated the Doctor with a very real distress in his voice,"ought you to let her-- Miss Wingate-- do such things-- so many things?
3745Ca n''t I have a breakfast now, Doctor-- and the other one two hours later? 3745 Ca n''t you persuade her some, Tom?"
3745Can I trust you?
3745Did Doctor Mayberry know you were coming?
3745Did Doctor Mayberry stay in the City-- after his graduation?
3745Did he say all that to you,''Liza honey, are you sure?
3745Did n''t everybody look nice and act nice? 3745 Did you cut it?"
3745Do n''t you know, Mother, that I would lay down my life to do the least thing for her?
3745Do n''t you need my help?
3745Do n''t you think he oughter see them nelephants and things?
3745Do n''t you want a cake and some milk?
3745Do you know the story the drop of blood I took from this prick this morning told?
3745Do you know what leaving Mother is like?
3745Do you know, Mrs. Mayberry, you really-- really flirt with the Doctor?
3745Do you pass on the word to Elinory here that Providence husbands wear good, both warp and woof?
3745Do you reckon He tooken the strength away from David the next morning, Deacon, or let him keep it to use all the time?
3745Do you suppose there is anything I can do to help anybody anywhere? 3745 Do you think he-- will let me?"
3745Do you think-- er, beaux are-- are desirable, Eliza?
3745Does it matter that only you will ever hear the song, dear?
3745For all your life you will have to go where pain and grief call you, wo n''t you? 3745 Give him up?"
3745Had he always such black hair?
3745Has the Doctor come back from the City this soon?
3745Have a cake, wo n''t you, Deacon?
3745Have anything happened,''Liza?
3745Have you picked out the song you are going to sing first when it comes back?
3745Have you thought of anybody in particular?
3745How at home you are in all this-- this?
3745How can you be hungry when you ate your breakfast not two hours ago?
3745How does he manage such-- such awful ones?
3745How old was he when he went to college?
3745How''s Mis''Bostick, Tom? 3745 How''s that pain in your side?"
3745I wonder if your Maw remembered the lime water faithful?
3745If I choose one for to- day, when will you wear the other? 3745 If just blue jeans britches could be made to do we might make out to get the top of them rigged out in a white shirt apiece; could n''t we, Bettie?"
3745Is it true?
3745Is n''t it too bad for Mrs. Tutt to feel that way and miss the wedding?
3745Just wait and look at these chickens; ai n''t they pretty? 3745 Let''s hurry and get that bucket of water; do n''t you hear them singing the doxology?"
3745Let''s see-- say them over again-- white dress, pink parasol, rose hat, how did they go?
3745Martin, do you want me to wash your face and hands and come go visiting with me?
3745Met your fate?
3745Miss Elinory, did you gargle your throat with that slippery- ellum tea I thought about to make for you last week?
3745Now begin at the beginning and tell me just what is the matter with your Aunt Prissy?
3745Now that we''ve both refused each other do you suppose we can go on and be happy?
3745Now what''s all these conniptions about?
3745Now, ai n''t that the truth?
3745Now, what''s your trouble, Tom Mayberry?
3745Oh, did he?
3745Oh, will you really?
3745Run fetch the tea- cake bucket from the kitchen safe,''Liza, and wo n''t you come sit down, Deacon?
3745She is n''t so old she can''t-- can''t recuperate when the lovely warm days come to stay this summer, is she?
3745She loves me and I love her, so that, do you think, I might-- I might learn? 3745 The frock coat let it be-- and shall we say the rose gown?
3745The little girls ought to have white dresses and the boys-- well, what could the little boys wear?
3745Wait a minute, Mis''Pike,said Mother hurriedly,"are you sure they have et cherry seeds?
3745Want her to have a beau?
3745Was there ever, ever anybody just like her?
3745Was you able to fix him up, Tom?
3745Well, Susie,said Mother Mayberry,"do n''t you feel kind to her yet?"
3745Well, how did you get along with him, honeybird?
3745Well, you do n''t expect no such thing of Tom Mayberry as that, do you?
3745What are you going to do with them, Mother?
3745What are you going to wear?
3745What did he do when he saw you?
3745What did he say, child?
3745What did they do and just what did she say?
3745What did you do?
3745What earthly use can the United States Government have for night drawers and chimeses?
3745What happened to it?
3745What have you been doing all morning?
3745What?
3745What?
3745What?
3745When are you going to have the pie, Mother?
3745When can we begin? 3745 Where did you send him to school first?"
3745Where have you been?
3745Who did it to you?
3745Why ca n''t you?
3745Why, Squire,she questioned anxiously,"have anything happened?
3745Why, what did he do, Squire?
3745Why, what did them scamps do?
3745Why, what have my child been a- doing to be spoke of this way?
3745Why, what is it?
3745Why, what is the matter?
3745Why, what''s the matter?
3745Why, who is this?
3745Why, who, son? 3745 Will you let me know if I can do anything for anybody or the Deacon later?"
3745Will you take command? 3745 Would you want L''ELEONORE more than you do just plain Elinor Wingate, care Mother Mayberry, Providence, Tennessee?"
3745Would you wear a white embroidery and lace or a rose batiste? 3745 Would you-- like me any better if I had it back?"
3745You are n''t busy, are you?
3745You realize, do you not, dear lady, that your friendliness to-- to us all, commands my intensest loyalty? 3745 You say, do you, that I''ll never sing again?"
3745''Liza, honey, how''s the baby?"
3745About how many bad stumped toes is they in Providence now?"
3745Ai n''t it stylish?"
3745Ai n''t it wonderful?"
3745Ai n''t my baby a- growing?"
3745Ai n''t she the prettiest and most stylishest girl you have ever saw?
3745Ai n''t you got none of the suffering- women new notions at all?"
3745And ai n''t she cute about it?
3745And ai n''t you a- going to pass a compliment on Elinory and me, both with new frocks wored to please you?"
3745And what did I find?
3745Any news along the Road?"
3745Are you a- going to follow her peaceable all over Europe, Asia and Africa?"
3745Are you ready to start to Italy on short notice and then on to India?"
3745Are you sure she enjoys it and is not just doing it to help or because she thinks she ought?
3745But can she stand it?"
3745But have you been in to the Deacon''s this morning?"
3745But have you heard the news?"
3745But he ai n''t neither here or there and--""Where is he?"
3745But he could n''t make you take oil, could he?"
3745But what about the collation, Bettie?
3745But what''s the news, Sister Mayberry?"
3745CHAPTER VI THE PROVIDENCE TAG- GANG"Miss Elinory, do you think getting married and such is ketching, like the mumps and chickenpox?"
3745Ca n''t loving people do nothing for''em, Miss Elinory?"
3745Ca n''t we take some of the church carpet money and get Mr. Hoover to buy him a pair when he hauls corn to town Monday?"
3745Ca n''t you hatch out a idea, Elinory?"
3745Ca n''t you stay a little while, till we can stand to let you go?
3745Ca n''t you take my voice with you and use it-- as one of your-- remedies?
3745Ca n''t you try to help me out about that coat and the silk hat?"
3745Could I stay just a few minutes?"
3745Dearie me, could that shadow be a chicken- hawk?
3745Did n''t Bud Pike tell you last night how he cut his little brother''s mouth and did n''t hurt him a bit, neither?
3745Did you all know that Bettie Pratt were a- going to get married in about two hours and a half?"
3745Did you ever notice how''most any down- heart will get up and go a- marching to a laugh tune?
3745Did you have on some new clothes?
3745Did you know that spangled Wyandotte hen have deserted all them little chickens and is a- laying again out in the weeds behind the barn?
3745Did you succeed in getting Mrs. Tutt to change her mind about honoring the festivities?"
3745Do either of you all need it?"
3745Do n''t you even hope you will be; able to think up no kind of tantrums to keep Tom Mayberry from being happy?"
3745Do n''t you hear Miss Prissy playing the organ for you?"
3745Do n''t you know I''m the daughter of a doctor, and the wife of a doctor and the mother of one as good as either of the other two?
3745Do n''t you want to beat up some with Cindy''s help?
3745Do they ever ask you where you bring''em from?"
3745Do you know that much?"
3745Do you know what this soft moonlight aspect of Providence reminds me of, with those tall poplars down the Road and the wide- roofed houses and barns?
3745Do you reckon she''ll be satisfied to take Sam Mosbey when she comes again?
3745Do you suppose for all the wide world I would throw away what I have found here in Providence under Harpeth Hills-- my Mother and you?
3745Do you suppose, do you, that we can put the chickens to bed for Mrs. Mayberry?
3745Do you think so?"
3745Does it make you want a beau too, Miss Elinory?"
3745Elinory, child, did you ever hear one of them young men''s life- commencement speeches made?"
3745Fill up Martin Luther sometime soon, will you?"
3745For one instant the singer woman went white to the eyes and swayed back against the vine, then she asked huskily,"Did HE say so?"
3745Had n''t that always been his mother''s unconscious policy out on Harpeth Hills?
3745Have you been by to see him?"
3745Have you noticed that both the Deacon and Mis''Bostick look mighty peaky?
3745How are Miss Elinory to- day?
3745How are your side this morning?"
3745How''s the throat, child?"
3745I seem to feel that the hot theaters and the crowds that have looked at me and-- am I what she has a right to demand in your wife?"
3745I wonder if she would lend me that long- tailed waist she wears to get the pattern off to make me and Clara May and Pattie one?"
3745Is Mis''Tutt tooken with lumbago again?"
3745Is that a bargain and is everybody ready to step into line?"
3745Is there nothing that can be done about it?"
3745It was kinder smart of you to cure her and then claim her sweet self as a fee, was n''t it?"
3745It would be a good thing to double one failing mistake up into two successes, would n''t it?
3745Just look, Elinory, did you ever see a worser hole than this?"
3745May I go out to the kitchen and get Cindy to make a little chicken soup for Mis''Bostick now?
3745Mayberry?"
3745Mis''Mayberry, could we get Jem into shoes, do you reckon?
3745Now ai n''t they pretty?"
3745Now are you well over your tantrum, sir?"
3745Now wo n''t we have a good time?"
3745Now, what did you do, Bud?"
3745Oh, ca n''t you, ca n''t you see what she''s doing for me?"
3745Or do you--?"
3745Ought n''t you to be fair about taking folk''s beaux just like taking they piece of cake or skipping rope?"
3745Play actor, ai n''t you, girl?"
3745Reckon we can persuade him to try a couple of slices of old ham onct in a while so as to give a few broilers time to get legs long enough to fry?"
3745Shall I or you tell her?
3745She have waded through much pain and sorrow, but do it matter along how hard a Road folks travels if at last they come to they Providence?"
3745Soon?"
3745Then suddenly she stretched out her hand to him and, as he took it into his, she asked very quietly with just the one word,"When?"
3745They ai n''t no worldly feeling as good as having your clothes admired, is they?"
3745What color do you prefer?"
3745What did I do with that other sock?"
3745What did she eat last night for supper?
3745What matter if I never sing again?"
3745What was he like?"
3745What will he do if I can really sing it?
3745When did Doctor Mayberry go?"
3745Where did you eat the preserves, children?"
3745Who told you about it?"
3745Who''s down now and what did you do for''em?"
3745Why not?
3745Will you go too, Mother, as retained physician?"
3745Wo n''t it be lovely?
3745Wo n''t that be fine?"
3745Would you think they could be any worser?"
3745Yes, Mis''Nath, did you ever see such a show of decorations?
3745You are not going, are you?"
3745You do n''t feel in no ways peculiar, do you?"
3745You wo n''t never go now, will you?"
3745You''ll do for Doctor Tom nice, now you''ve got him, wo n''t you?"
3745You''ll just promise to remember always that I do understand and go on being happy with us, wo n''t you-- us country folks of Providence Road?"
3745Your father brought her and her herb basket to Providence, wo n''t you take me and my songs out into the world with you?
3745gasped Miss Wingate in dismay;"have I ruined them?"
10621''At so?
10621''S matter?
10621A brooch?
10621A little under the weather, Aunt Ca''line?
10621Ai n''t you de man whut''s gwine to ma''y Miss Cissie Dildine?
10621Ai n''t you see whut it''s all in?
10621And what are you doing here in Cairo?
10621And you do n''t want me to go with you, Peter?
10621And you made good?
10621And you want me to help you?
10621Anything else?
10621Are n''t you going to school?
10621Are those curtains velour, Peter?
10621Are you offering me a permanent place, Captain Renfrew?
10621Are you sick, Mother?
10621Are-- are you about to-- to leave me, Peter?
10621Arrested him on an old crap charge?
10621Aunt Rose,said the young man, wistfully,"why are you always angry?"
10621Aw, is that you, Siner?
10621Boil it?
10621But whuffo, whuffo, nigger, is it dat you ai n''t come to de kitchen an''eat off''n de shelf? 10621 But whut''s de use doin''hit ef we kin manage to shy roun''some o''dat wuck an''keep on libin''anyhow, specially wid wages so high?"
10621But, my God, Doctor,gasped the son,"I''ll pay you--""Have you got the money there in your pocket?"
10621But-- but how can a stroke of the pen, a mere gesture, estop a whole class of American citizens forever?
10621Ca n''t go?
10621Ca n''t you see how much there is for us black folks to do, and what little we have done?
10621Can you trace the circulation of the blood? 10621 Captain, who in the world-- who could have told--""Are you?"
10621Captain,he said with a certain stiffness,"I apologize for my mistake; but may I ask how you desire me to act?"
10621Cissie?
10621Come, Jim Pink, what do you know?
10621D''recken it''s so? 10621 Desertion?"
10621Did n''t you know where I was staying?
10621Did n''t you know you''d get into trouble?
10621Did old Becky Davis send you to me with any such proposition as that, Peter?
10621Did you ever hear Bob Taylor''s yarn about Uncle''Rastus''s funeral? 10621 Do you know how I''ve built up my business here, Peter?
10621Do you mean my school- teaching?
10621Do you mean the study, Captain?
10621Don''reckon nobody could git a deed off on you wid stoppers in it, does you?
10621Don''you know''bout Tump Pack already, Mister Siner?
10621For whom?
10621Has he gone to jail?
10621Has it been out of fix for three days?
10621Have a good time in jail, Bob?
10621Have you heard what Henry Hooker done to Siner in the land deal?
10621Have you-- been looking for me?
10621He-- was trying to get Cissie out?
10621Heah in Niggertown?
10621Hey, Peter,he drawled, winking at old Mr. Tomwit,"been investin''in real estate?"
10621How came you to turn down my proposition, Mr. Tomwit,he asked,"after we had agreed and drawn up the papers?"
10621How do you feel?
10621How do you know you want to go at all?
10621How do you like this place, anyway, Peter?
10621How long''s he up for?
10621How the hell can he arrest him when he hit town this minute?
10621How''d you get here?
10621How''s that? 10621 I believe you were wanting me, Captain?"
10621I mean what is our aim, our goal, whom are we trying to be like?
10621I sho is picked up, ai n''t I?
10621If you did n''t know anything about my code, how do you know what I feel now?

10621Is that a highboy?
10621Is that you, Peter?
10621Know it now, do n''t you?
10621Leaving Hooker''s Bend?
10621Like something tearing in the next room?
10621Look here, Mother, you''re not using old canned goods that have been left over?
10621Look here, are you puffed up because Cissie Dildine struck you for a ten?
10621Me?
10621Mother,asked Peter, thickly, through his swelling mouth,"do you want to know what did happen?"
10621News?
10621No? 10621 No?"
10621Oh, Peter Siner; Caroline Siner''s sick? 10621 Oh, is that it?"
10621On what grounds?
10621Peeping where?
10621Persimmon,he said uneasily,"what in the world are you talking about?"
10621Peter, do you really mean that?
10621Peter,she asked in a low tone,"did you ever think what we colored people are trying to reach?"
10621Racially?
10621Serious?
10621She''s not ill?
10621Sick o''yo''deal, Peter?
10621So soon after your mother''s death, Peter?
10621So you are n''t going to marry me, Peter?
10621Stoppers-- what do you mean by stoppers?
10621Surely, you''re not too ill to be kissed?
10621That going on now?
10621That your deed in your pocket?
10621The Dillihay place?
10621The husban''--leadin''a irreg''lar life?
10621The wrong thing first, Cissie?
10621Then is you''spectin''somp''n''bout him?
10621Then what can I do with it?
10621Then you are going to stay here and marry-- Tump?
10621Then you had thought of it?
10621Then you mean that you want me to stay here with you until-- until the end, Captain?
10621Then you-- you wo n''t?
10621There, there, dear, dear Cissie, what is the matter? 10621 Tired?"

10621What did you say?
10621What do you mean by Katie- lock- the- door with you?
10621What do you mean-- visiting around?
10621What do you think about it, Tump?
10621What do you think you are? 10621 What do you want me to do?"
10621What do you want, Cissie?
10621What for?
10621What girl would you be willing for me to go with?
10621What have you been doing to yourself, Tump?
10621What have you done?
10621What is in my mind, Captain?
10621What is it in?
10621What is it? 10621 What it''s in?"
10621What made her write?
10621What you doing out here?
10621What''s doing over there? 10621 What''s happened to Cissie?"
10621What''s the matter, Mother?
10621What''s the matter, Tump?
10621What_ is_ the matter, Cissie?
10621When a fellow goes to college he do n''t git marched to preachin'', does he, Siner?
10621Where are you going?
10621Where do you want to go, Cissie?
10621Which end?
10621Who is it?
10621Who is it?

10621Whut- chu want, nigger?
10621Why ca n''t you?
10621Why could n''t you?
10621Why did that boy go running across like that?
10621Why do colored girls straighten their hair, bleach their skins, pinch their feet? 10621 Why do n''t you want to marry us, Parson?"
10621Why do you suppose he bought in the Tomwit tract and sold me the Dillihay place?
10621Why should n''t I be here?
10621Why you sent for me?
10621Why, what makes you think I''m going to do anything with Cissie?
10621Why-- er-- considering this work, Cissie--"Are n''t you going to marry anybody, Peter?
10621Why?
10621Whyn''t you git a white preacher?
10621Will he-- get out soon?
10621Will it be any better away from here?
10621With Cissie?--Cissie Dildine?
10621Wo n''t you have a seat?
10621Would n''t he let you shoot any more?
10621Would n''t it be better to have honest, self- respecting help than dishonest help?
10621Wrote?
10621Yeah; yo''en''or Peter''s en''?
10621Yeah?
10621You ai n''t never been in jail, is you, black man?
10621You are n''t?
10621You did n''t expect a little thing like a hundred dollars to stop me, did you?
10621You do n''t care for Tump?
10621You do n''t know where you want to go?
10621You do n''t mean the cashier of the bank?
10621You do n''t mean you put up your medal on a crap game, Tump?
10621You do n''t mean, Cissie-- you do n''t mean you do n''t want to marry me?
10621You mean-- morals?
10621You mean-- you want us to live here?
10621You''ll go, wo n''t you?
10621You''s gwine to git ma''ied?
10621You-- you mean you want m- me-- to go with you, Cissie?
10621Your name on the marriage- certificate will-- can you write?
10621After a while it fizzled out to nothing at all, and the Persimmon asked in a queer manner:"Did you give Tump some women''s clo''es, Peter?"
10621And have n''t we met before somewhere?
10621Apparently, he discovered nothing, for he said shortly:"How do I know before he''s tried?
10621Are n''t they trying to look like white girls?"
10621As he entered the rickety gate, old Caroline called out:"Whut is you after, anyway, white man?"
10621At any rate, after these reflections, Peter now felt sure that marriage would cure him of his mission; but how had Cissie known it?
10621Before the negro could reply, he added:"Was you on the Harvard football team, Siner?
10621Bobbs?"
10621Bobbs?"
10621But, Mr. Killibrew, would n''t you like better and more trustworthy servants as cooks, as farm- hands, chauffeurs, stable- boys?
10621By the way, Peter,"he broke off cheerily,"you ai n''t happen to see Tump Pack, is you?"
10621Could Henry Hooker force them to pay the remaining seven hundred?
10621Could n''t you spare five dollars, Bobbs, to go along with this?"
10621D''reckon I could git in the navy, Siner?"
10621D''reckon I could make the football team?
10621Dear Peter, do n''t you_ know?_ You ca n''t go out and talk like that to white folks and-- and not have some terrible thing happen to you!
10621Did dat fool Cap''n set up a nigger in dis bedroom winder jes to ketch ole Rose packin''off a few ole lef''-overs?"
10621Did she enjoy her vituperation, her continual malice?
10621Dildine?"
10621Does n''t your cook carry away cold food?"
10621Ef Peter ai n''t to be foun''at eider en'', wha is he?"
10621Guess the white fellers have a pretty gay time in Harvard, do n''t they, Siner?
10621Had he read them in a book?
10621Have you seen Tump Pack anywhere?"
10621He called Peter''s name in the strained voice of a man struggling not to cough:"Peter-- is Mr. Bobbs done--''rested Cissie?"
10621He explained this to the Persimmon, and tacked on a curious,"Why?"
10621He paused a moment, then asked:"Peter, have you ever thought that we men of the leisure class owe a debt to the world?"
10621Hoccum dis?"
10621How could he present so grave a message?
10621How did that globe get bent?"
10621How had she struck out so involved a theory, one might say, in the toss of a head?
10621If he were innocent, why should not such a big, strong youth have stayed and helped an old gentleman off with his overcoat?
10621If you''d go North--""What about you, Cissie?
10621Indeed, what could he say?
10621Is I bringin''dish- here breakfus''to a nigger?"
10621Is you sick?"
10621Let me see, where do I keep my manuscript?"
10621Mars''Renfrew, whut diff''ence do it make whut Peter say?
10621Musing by the window, Peter succeeded in stating his problem more broadly: Why was Captain Renfrew an intellectual reactionist?
10621Next moment he heard himself saying in fairly normal tones:"Fellows, do you think we ought to be idling on the street corners like this?
10621No reason why we should n''t get it over with-- Why, what''s the matter?"
10621No?
10621Now and then he caught a sentence:"What difference will it make?"
10621Now, why such extraordinary occlusions?
10621Peter waited patiently for Jim Pink to impart his information,"Well, what''s the idea?"
10621Peter''s conscience smote him again for worrying his mother with his courtship of Cissie, yet what could he do?
10621Peter?"
10621Presently he asked:"Ai n''t you Mr. Peter Siner?"
10621Presently he surprised himself by calling over his shoulder, as a sort of complaint:"How came you with the pistol, Tump?
10621Right now?"
10621Say, if Henry was n''t kind of held back by his religion, he''d use a gun, would n''t he?"
10621Say, is Cissie Dildine at home?"
10621Say, nigger, wha- chu doin''in heah, anyway?
10621She was talking again, very earnestly, almost tremulously:"Why do n''t you go North, Peter?
10621Should he accede to Tump Pack''s possession of Cissie Dildine and give up seeing the girl?
10621The old negress considered this solemn speech, and then grunted out:"Which en''?"
10621The women shivered and asked of the darkness,"_ What_ makes the negroes howl so?"
10621Then whut fur dey go roun''peepin''at each other lak a couple o''niggers roun''a haystack?"
10621They moved along for some distance in silence, when the girl asked:"What are you going to do now, Peter?"
10621They-- they are n''t married, are they?"
10621Tomwit?"
10621Tomwit?"
10621Tump stared after him a moment and presently called out:"Heah, nigger, whut you gwine do?"
10621We ought to be at work, do n''t you think?"
10621Well, what of it?"
10621Wha you fum, nigger?"
10621What about it?"
10621What can I do?"
10621What publisher shall we have publish these reminiscences?
10621What signified their endless pages about dualism and monism, about phenomenon and noumenon?
10621What were the boys raising such a hullabaloo about?"
10621What you mean, ridin''my tribulations?"
10621What''s so funny?
10621What''s the matter with old Caroline?"
10621Who told you I was?
10621Whom should I marry?"
10621Whut''s matter wid you, Peter?
10621Why index a lot of nonsense?
10621Why not?"
10621Why should this Cissie Dildine trig herself out in sumac?
10621Why?
10621Why?"
10621Will you do what I want?"
10621With unpremeditation?
10621Would n''t you prefer to give your cook a certain cash payment instead of having her taking uncertain amounts of your foodstuffs and wearing apparel?"
10621Would you expect an educated stud horse to pay no attention to a mare, sir?
10621[ Illustration:"You- you mean you want m- me-- to go with you, Cissie?"
10621black man, whut''s Cissie doin''?"
10621is you los''yo''way?"
10621oh, Ahnt Carolin'', may I enter?"
10621she ejaculated,"didn''you bow yo''haid while yo''mammy ast de grace?"
48937About what?
48937Ai n''t I told you that we''re all officers of the law, and I''m sheriff of this here county, and I aim to do my duty as sworn to perform it? 48937 Ai n''t he the sweetest thing?"
48937Ai n''t nobody never goin''to dance?

48937Ai n''t that so, Callista?
48937Ai n''t ye gwine to stay to preachin''?

48937And does the Bushareses and Adam Venable and his wife know hit? 48937 And where was you and Buck a- goin''?"
48937And you will sit alongside of me?
48937And you wo n''t go with me?
48937Anything the matter with you- all?
48937Are you aimin''to get''em to stop the marriage?
48937Are you going to trade, or are you not?
48937Brother Lance? 48937 Callista Gentry has n''t took you, has she?"
48937Callista, air you asleep?
48937Callista-- sweetheart,he whispered with his lips against her hair,"we do n''t want nothin''of them folks back there, do we?
48937Can you make out what it''s meant for?
48937Did Ellen and Jane cry much? 48937 Did n''t I tell you I was mighty busy?"
48937Did n''t you know about it? 48937 Did you build the chimney, Lance?"
48937Did you he''p Lance to choose Callisty''s slippers?
48937Did you send me word that you was a- goin''to have me call off the dances?
48937Did you sure enough[ 382]_ send_ that word by your father to the sheriff?--Did you_ say_ you''d give up and go in-- did you?
48937Did you- all have any idee as to what it would suit best for?
48937Do I think what''s wise?
48937Do n''t I tell you that it''s the ruination of the best of''em? 48937 Do n''t you want to come and go''long?
48937Do n''t you want to come in and see the new things Pappy brung up from the Settlement? 48937 Do you mean--?"
48937Do you reckon blue angels would be more better?
48937Do you think I''d lead the law to Buddy? 48937 Do you think I''d tell on my own brother?
48937Fixed it like that, do you mean?

48937Where''d I better take Sate?
48937Who said anything about wives and husbands?
48937Who you goin''to ride with, Callista?
48937Who''s with you-- who packed all this?
48937Whose chickens were they-- them you and Ola Derf caught?
48937Whose chickens?
48937Whose field are you going to?
48937Whose outfit did Pappy hire?
48937Why do n''t you put it up on his back?
48937Why do n''t you say it?
48937Why hain''t you bidden out all them folks in thar? 48937 Why, Lance, honey,"said the widow in a coaxing tone,"you ai n''t rightly ready for a wife, air ye?
48937Will you lead us to whar Lance is at, or will you not?
48937Wo n''t you come into the house? 48937 Wo n''t you go hunt up Callista and tell her I want her?
48937Women? 48937 Would you name it to her?"
48937Would you rather have your victuals raw?
48937Would you say so?
48937You ai n''t got another frock to yo''name'', an''what am I a- goin''to do with you?
48937You come up and tell me jest how Granny looked before you- all go, wo n''t you?
48937You goin''to ride with me to the buryin''tomorrow?
48937You hear now? 48937 You here, Callisty?"
48937You might speak for yourself-- but who''s to speak for me? 48937 You will?"
48937You''ll go over to Squire Ashe''s soon in the morning, wo n''t you Lance and see about the land?
48937You''ll trust me? 48937 You''re a- comin'', ai n''t you, Lance?"
48937You''re not going to leave us, air you?
48937You, Mary Ann Marthy, I do know in my soul you''the worst child the Lord ever made: Where do you expect to go to when you die? 48937 You-- you''re a- comin'', Lance?"
48937You-- you''ve done a sight of work on that, have n''t you, Sis''Roxy?
48937Your man?
48937''Nen Adams, he''s mad''caze he do n''t git none; an''--Mammy,"with a burst of tears,"is I thest like my uncle Lance?"
48937--and[ 61] again, out of colorless drumming,"How many years?
48937?"
48937A man that will do you this- a- way on yo''wedding day, what sort o''husband is he goin''to make?
48937Ai n''t got a word to say about how many rooms in the house, nor whar the shelves is to be, nor nothin''--eh?"
48937Ai n''t that about right?"
48937Ai n''t you never scared about what he might do?
48937Aimin''to put up a cabin-- fixin''to we d?"
48937Air ye hurt?"
48937And Faithful Yearwood, that married Preacher Crowley-- ain''t they livin''down in the Tatum neighborhood?"
48937And listen to the banjo; it was no wistful, questing melody of"How many miles, how many years?"
48937And though the little whistle went questing on with its"How many miles-- how many years?"
48937Are you a true friend, that does n''t want me to get snake bit?"
48937Are you all right till the folks get back?"
48937As Cleaverage walked away, the mother prompted, almost indignantly,[ 78]"Why did n''t ye go down to the draw- bars with him, Callista?
48937At the door his sister Roxy met him, clutching his arm, staring over his shoulder with fear- dilated eyes, and whispering huskily,"Whar is he?
48937Buck, cain''t you?"
48937But go now, honey, wo n''t you-- please?
48937But what of the bride?
48937But what''s a- goin''to be here?"
48937But-- I''ll ax you fa''r and open-- do you think hit''s wise?"
48937Cain''t we leave here?
48937Can Mammy''s gal say all that and say it right?"
48937Can she cut out a hickory shirt and make it?
48937Can she mix a decent pone o''corn bread, and bake it without burnin''half her fingers off?
48937Cleaverage?"
48937Could a man have asked more?
48937Could he not command the events and individuals of his own household by simply being himself?
48937Could he take them with him to that remote place where his spirit abode so often in loneliness?
48937Could n''t you lead to it?"
48937Could she kill a chicken and pick and clean it and cook it-- could she do it ef she was a starvin''?
48937Derf said the filly was named Cindy; but I call her Sin-- how do you like that?--Satan and Sin?"
48937Did memory come to either of the chill, inhospitable hearth she had once refused to tend?
48937Did n''t you know it, Callisty?"
48937Did not Adam, when Eve called him to help her with fresh roses for the bower she was decking, know the same?
48937Did old Fletch Daggett''s slovenly, overworked young wife cook any worse than she, Callista, had been able to?
48937Did she, Callista, compare in any way unfavorably with the Derf girl?
48937Did you want to see him special, Lance?"
48937Divide our hearts by pain and fears?"
48937Do n''t I know?"
48937Do n''t he look feisty?"
48937Do n''t you reckon that''d be the best way?"
48937Do n''t you- all want to have a little dance after the meeting''s out-- on the Threshin''-floor Rock up the branch?"
48937Do they fit ye, Callisty?"
48937Do you just despise all them that''s kin to-- would you ruther we did n''t have the boy?"
48937Do you reckon the meat fryings will make your fish taste all right?
48937Do you want me to buy her back for you?
48937Do you want to go now?"
48937Does that arm feel better now?"
48937Ef he comes to you with any sech, I want you to send for me to deal with him-- you hear?
48937For no reason which he could have given, the sound of a banjo whispered in his memory,"How many miles, how many years?"
48937Gentry?
48937Good, ai n''t they?"
48937Griever?"
48937Had he found Ola an entirely satisfactory companion?
48937Has Callista?
48937Have I asked yo''ruthers?
48937Have n''t you had about enough of this?"
48937Have ye told him adzackly the kind of house ye want?
48937Have you- all fixed for pumpkin[ 181] cutting?
48937He was taking a long breath, having barely got under way, when Lance stopped him with a curt,"Well,--are you goin''to do it-- or are you not?"
48937He went out then, only to come hurriedly back, reporting,[ 205]"I cain''t find any wood-- whar does Lance keep it?"
48937He''s liable to drop off any time; and who''d take Lance Cleaverage then, I''d like to know?
48937Here was the singer of"How many miles, how many years?"
48937How about you?"
48937How could he have done otherwise than he had done?
48937How dared he look like that-- as though he knew all her straits-- the shifts to which she was now reduced?
48937How did she look, honey?
48937How on earth did you get here-- all alone-- at night this- a- way?"
48937How"--and now the tones faltered a little--"how is she?"
48937I ai n''t fit to have Callista, is that it?
48937I''m goin''to make you take it back, and beg pardon for it on your knees, Flenton Hands-- on your knees, do you hear me?"
48937If a wedding without Lance was like that, what would the infare be in Lance''s own house?
48937In outward form these two were already his; could he make and hold them truly his own?
48937Is Mary a- comin''?"
48937Is that a- goin''to trouble you?
48937Is this yo''business?
48937It made no question now of"How many miles, how many years?"
48937It must be sun- up outside, ai n''t it?"
48937Just above his breath Lance voiced the words:"How many years, how many miles, Far from the door where my darling smiles?
48937Lance lay tensely quiescent a moment, then he questioned softly,"Is that a sign?"
48937Lance, did you hear me?"
48937Lance-- Won''t you go now, please, honey?
48937Lance-- aw, say, Lance-- do you?
48937Lance?
48937Lance?
48937Lance?
48937Lance?"
48937Must his child be born under the roof of another?
48937Now sons, now daughter, air ye ready?
48937Now, havin''a livin''wife and a infant child, he cain''t make no good deed without you sign; and what I want to know is, has he axed you to sign sech?
48937Oh, Callisty, air you goin''with me now?"
48937Oh, ai n''t it awful, Callista?
48937Reckon if you folks are givin''a dance you wo n''t heed a invite?
48937Shall I go-- or stay?"
48937She could a''done better-- that''s what you want to tell me, ai n''t it?"
48937She had no audience now-- how should she act, how demean herself so as to seem indifferent?
48937She resented the dismay in his face when he came back asking:"Do you know what''s come of that deer?
48937She''s just a little old gal, and you''re a good- sized crowd of able- bodied folks-- what harm can she do you?"
48937She''s quit her man; and do you think hit''s wise to visit so much at the house where she''s stayin''?
48937Sheriff!--hey, you, Beason!--Why do n''t you arrest that feller?"
48937Thar, ai n''t that fixed all right now?
48937That was right, was n''t it?
48937The only question is, how soon and how best can I get at Flenton Hands and stop it?"
48937The tune he whistled had in it reminiscences of Lance''s"How many years, how many miles?"
48937Then, as a second jerk shook and rattled the dangling bit of wood,"Ai n''t you got[ 107] no sense?"
48937There was no whisper now of"How many miles-- how many years?"
48937WHAT SHALL HE HAVE WHO KILLED THE DEER?
48937Was Vander Blackshears here?
48937Was he not man enough to rule his domestic affairs?
48937Was he so willing to send her where she would meet Flenton Hands?
48937Was not something due from Callista because she had him?
48937Was that a countenance asking sympathy, begging for quarter?
48937Was this Lance, the indifferent, taunting, insouciant, here under her window alone, looking up so at her-- playing, singing, to her?
48937Well, what then?
48937Whar''s Lance?"
48937What I want to know is whar he''s at and how bad hurt is he?
48937What are you offering?"
48937What did he say-- you ai n''t never told me that yit-- what did Lance say''bout the dancin''anyhow?"
48937What did you want to do that for?"
48937What do you aim to take for the debt as it stands, me to pay you today?
48937What had he come here for?
48937What makes you do so much of it, Sis''Callie?"
48937What now?"
48937What should she do?
48937What was he to do?
48937What was it he had thought to compass by coming here with her?
48937What was it she wanted to know of Lance?
48937What would I be doin''down thar amongst all tham men?
48937What you got it all dark here for, Lance?
48937What you needin''all this here money for, anyway?"
48937What''ll I do when they take you from me?
48937What''ll you take, Lance?"
48937What''s a''keepin''you?
48937What, at such a juncture, would be her attitude?
48937Where were the lightnings of Heaven, set apart for the destruction of the impious?
48937Where''s Mother?"
48937Who could the"somebody"waiting for her out there be-- somebody who arranged all these precautions with such care and exactness?
48937Who is it?"
48937Who of them all was the least bit like Lance, her man of men, with his quizzical smile, his blithe, easy mastery of any situation?
48937Who wants to kill you, you fool boy?"
48937Why ai n''t you been home, honey?
48937Why did n''t you tell me, and put my mind at rest?"
48937Why should I be mad at it?"
48937Why was the realization not enough?
48937Why wo n''t you come to my party?"
48937Why''n''t you git me that branch o''leaves, Sylvane?"
48937Will that suit?"
48937Would you call a whale a beast or a fish?"
48937Would you go fetch''em for me, Brother?"
48937Ye ai n''t goin''to be mad with us becaze Callista and her folks never was friendly with us, air ye?"
48937Yet of what use would such a piece of timber be to a woman?
48937Yet-- to be forgiven, to be accepted-- when had Lance Cleaverage ever desired such boons?
48937You can find work for Lance on the farm, cain''t ye, Pappy?"
48937You had n''t promised somebody else to ride with''em, had ye, Callisty?"
48937You will come, wo n''t you, Lance?"
48937You''ll be the first one to ride in it-- ain''t that fine?
48937Young Shalliday, he-- What preachers did Callisty say was a- comin''?"
48937[ 10]"Ye hear that, Callisty?"
48937[ 264]"You do?"
48937[ 308]"What is it to me where you come or where you stay?"
48937[ 76]"Well,"Grandfather Gentry began after a time,"ai n''t this ruther sudden?"
48937ai n''t that pretty?
48937how many miles?"
48937jeered the grandfather,"and who might you be, young feller?"
48937she cried,"what you studyin''about, Liza?
31406''And do you think,''said he,''that I am to be bound by the last words of a man too far gone to know his own mind in the matter?'' 31406 ''But what is the use of roast meat, if we are to be roasted too?''
31406''Follow-- where?'' 31406 ''For yourself, you black rascal?''
31406''Member de lickins? 31406 ''Sert you?
31406''Then why did n''t he give it to you before, instead of requiring me to make such a sacrifice? 31406 ''Who is your master?''
31406A gentleman? 31406 A shave?"
31406Able, child? 31406 About the schoolmaster?
31406Ai n''t to home, none of''em, hey?
31406Ai n''t wanted, Cudjo? 31406 All ready?"
31406All right so far, Pepperill?
31406All safe?
31406All?
31406Amuse me? 31406 And Pomp?"
31406And are you so very weary of the cave?
31406And did he not promise to do so?
31406And did you give it me?
31406And do you know there''s a secret passage from this cellar into the cellar under Jim''s shop? 31406 And do you maintain that you did not go willingly?"
31406And do you remember a conversation you had with Lysander under a bridge?
31406And how you that day took a journey to be away from us in our trouble?
31406And if I comply?
31406And if I had n''t took ye in season, you''d have returned to your base- born mire, would n''t you?
31406And my daughter?
31406And my dead child up yonder?
31406And my faithful servant?
31406And now, what is to be done? 31406 And our friends!--Carl!--have you heard from them?"
31406And that is petter as being hung?
31406And the property?
31406And they have no suspicions?
31406And vat shall you do?
31406And we must conceal him?
31406And what can we do?
31406And what did he reply?
31406And what is to become of me?
31406And what?
31406And where but here?
31406And where is Aunt Deb?
31406And ye knows whar she ar?
31406And you will use it if necessary?
31406And you would have us submit to them?
31406And you?
31406And you?
31406Any one hurt?
31406Anything?
31406Are they well? 31406 Are ye sartin ob dat, massa?
31406Are you asleep?
31406Are you going again?
31406Are you lost? 31406 Are you ready?"
31406Are you sure the man is dead?
31406Are you sure?
31406Are you well, my child?
31406Bold?
31406But all this happened before I came to Tennessee, did it not? 31406 But how came you here?
31406But how came_ she_ here?
31406But how can I resolve to send a guest from my house in this way? 31406 But how do you know, my son,----""How do I know he''s there?
31406But how?
31406But is Mr. Villars safe?
31406But is n''t she a Grace? 31406 But suppose I can show you that you are wrong, and that even by your own laws we are not, and can not be, property?"
31406But whar''s the schoolmaster?
31406But what comes o''de rock?
31406But what had they done to him?
31406But what had you done to merit such cruelty?
31406But what''s he so dead set agin''the master fur?
31406But why do you prefer to be away when the fun is going on?
31406Ca n''t eat, sar? 31406 Ca n''t you see for yourself?"
31406Can you change these rocks under our feet with empty words?
31406Can you show me that spot, Toby?
31406Captain,they replied,"if you not know, how should we know?
31406Carl what?
31406Carl, what''s this?
31406Carl, why do n''t you come too?
31406Condition?
31406Could n''t you find nowhere else to go to? 31406 Could n''t you move the horse?"
31406Danger?
31406Dat ar? 31406 Dat so, Pomp?"
31406Dat? 31406 Daughter, are you here?"
31406De gemman?
31406Dead?
31406Dead?
31406Deslow,laughed Stackridge, himself not ill pleased with Pomp''s arguments,"what do you say to that?"
31406Did I tremble, did I shrink when you carried me through the fire? 31406 Did n''t somebody knock me on the head?"
31406Did n''t we trust you? 31406 Did n''t you hear me tell ye to stop?"
31406Did somepody say somepody is a willain?
31406Did you meet any person on the road, travelling north?
31406Did you not bring my daughter with you?
31406Did you say_ shtop_?
31406Do you believe Deslow will be delivered up?
31406Do you hear anything?
31406Do you know how to use it?
31406Do you know that name? 31406 Do you know this ravine?"
31406Do you remember the night my father was arrested?
31406Do you see any landmarks yet?
31406Do you think it was not a bitter cup for me? 31406 Do you?"
31406Does old Pete visit you since?
31406Does that suit you?
31406Don''ye see? 31406 Dreadful?
31406Fear so? 31406 Find him?"
31406For me, Miss Villars?
31406Gentlemen, will you fight? 31406 Go in?"
31406Gone out, to- night? 31406 Good idee?"
31406Got him?
31406Has he killed him?
31406Has the colonel orders to make the arrests?
31406Have n''t I just got avay from Stackridge? 31406 Have n''t I told you not to_ wake him_?"
31406Have some?
31406Have you anything to confess?
31406Have you had any more trouble since Pomp left you?
31406Have you let Toby go?
31406Have you plenty of arms?
31406Have you two been together long?
31406He wishes to speak with me? 31406 Her?
31406Hey? 31406 Hey?
31406Hey?
31406Him?
31406His name?
31406How are you getting on, boys?
31406How came we property, sir?
31406How came you here, sir?
31406How came you here?
31406How corrupted, my friend?
31406How dare you come back without her?
31406How did I leave them?
31406How do I know you are shmart? 31406 How do you know I am?"
31406How far is it now to your ravine?
31406How is he?--much injured?
31406How large was this spot, this island?
31406How long,she added immediately,"do you imagine we shall have to stay here?"
31406How many friends have you with you?
31406How many slaves do you own?
31406How old is he?
31406How old is she?
31406How shall we get news to you? 31406 How so?"
31406How''s it my fault, I''d like to know?
31406How?
31406I a deserter? 31406 I believe you partly promised it to me, did n''t you?
31406I can read for one; and as for the rest, what good would it do''em to be edecated? 31406 I fancy you do n''t know very well where you are, sir,"said the negro, with a smile;"and you do n''t know me either, do you?"
31406I suppose Toby has told you the news? 31406 I think-- you are my preserver-- are you not?"
31406If you are so independent in your movements, why have you never escaped to the north?
31406If you will disgrace yourself, how can I help it?
31406Is he in the willage?
31406Is it for me?''
31406Is it true what that man is saying?
31406Is it you, Daniel, who are to bear witness against me?
31406Is it you, Hapgood?
31406Is it you, Mr. Stackridge? 31406 Is it you, Penn?
31406Is it you, massa?
31406Is justice done?
31406Is justice done?
31406Is no guns here?
31406Is not that what you would have said to me if you had found me in your power after making me such a promise? 31406 Is that so?"
31406Is the passage behind the spot where Mr. Villars is sitting?
31406Is this so? 31406 Keep your liquor up there, do ye?"
31406Killed?
31406Kin uh do any ting fur ye, sar?
31406Leafe a little trop for me, vill you?
31406Lysander, how are ye? 31406 Many there?"
31406Mine? 31406 Minny- fish?
31406Must I die?
31406My poor boy, you seem to be in trouble; can I help you?
31406My wife-- my two daughters: what will become of them?
31406None missing?
31406Nor for me?
31406Not Mass''Penn? 31406 Not even to save your life?"
31406Not much skin dar, hey? 31406 Not unless Toby lied to me!--Did he?"
31406Nothing for my father?
31406Notwithstanding your oath that you would not tell?
31406Now what''s the use, Sal? 31406 Now what?"
31406Now will you behave, my girl? 31406 Now you vill tell?"
31406Now, Pepperill,said Sprowl,"can you move ahead and make no mistake?"
31406Now, where''s yer tar- and- feathering party?
31406O, must we pass on?
31406O, what shall we do, father?
31406On our''count? 31406 One of your tantrums?"
31406Penn, is it you?
31406Penn-- has anything happened to Penn?
31406Pepperill-- Dan Pepperill; ye know me, do n''t ye, Stackridge?
31406Ropes?
31406Sal, is it you? 31406 Sal,"--in a low voice, looking up at her, and showing his manacled hands,--"are you pleased to see me in this condition?"
31406See the bodies anywhere?
31406Shall I go, too?
31406Shall we go through these woods?
31406Shore? 31406 Sile,"interrupted Dan, earnestly,"what''ge mean I''m to do?
31406Sir, who are you?

31406Then why do you stop here?
31406Then you wo n''t enlist?

31406Thought you''d come and meet us half way, did ye?

31406Was it you?
31406Was n''t it the schoolmaster?
31406Was the secret known to many?
31406Water?
31406Well, Dutchy,--for the first time deigning to consult Carl,--"this route is taking us to the cave, too, ai n''t it?"
31406Well, and if I reject your generous offer?
31406Well, how are you getting on, sir?
31406Well, how many negroes has your friend?
31406Well, of the eleven, how many own slaves?
31406Well, what do you want of me?

31406What has happened?

31406What have you hung over the window, Toby?
31406What is it about your boarder? 31406 What is it, Carl?"
31406What is it?
31406What is it?

31406What is this on it? 31406 What luck?"
31406What make de cave, anyhow?

31406What more? 31406 What news from my dear girl?--from my two dear girls?"
31406What news?

31406What''s that to me?
31406What''s that, you Dutchman?
31406What''s that?
31406What''s the Dutchman done?
31406What''s the matter, Toby?
31406What''s the matter?

31406What, then, is the worst?
31406What, then, must they think?
31406What?
31406What?
31406When did he go?
31406Where am I, then?
31406Where am I?
31406Where are you bound?
31406Where bound?
31406Where did you come from? 31406 Where did you get it?"
31406Where is Aunt Deb?
31406Where is Carl to- night, Toby?
31406Where is Carl? 31406 Where is Salina?
31406Where is Virginia?
31406Where is he?
31406Where is he?
31406Where is the fellow?
31406Where is the master?

31406Where you from?
31406Where your husband?
31406Where''s Hapgood? 31406 Where''s Sile?
31406Where? 31406 Where?"

31406Which?
31406Who dar?
31406Who eber knowed you''s sech a powerful smart chil''?
31406Who is it?
31406Who is with you?
31406Who told you to speak?
31406Who warned you?

31406Who''s the fish this time?
31406Who''s there?
31406Who''s_ me_?
31406Who-- what is it?
31406Who? 31406 Who?
31406Why did they take you prisoner?
31406Why do n''t you hurry up this business?
31406Why do n''t you kill and eat him?
31406Why do n''t you speak?
31406Why forbid him?
31406Why go down there at all?
31406Why not send for him?
31406Why should n''t a cullud pusson hab de right to be honest, well as white folks? 31406 Why should we blacks have anything to do with this quarrel?"
31406Why, what is the matter? 31406 Why, what''s the matter, Toby?"
31406Will Salina come too?
31406Will no one save me? 31406 Will you give me a safe conduct?"
31406Will you stay here, or go with us?
31406Would I be any better off there? 31406 Would n''t take the pistol?
31406Would you like some cheese?
31406Would you like to hear something of my story?
31406Would you see her die?
31406Ye pooty sick, sar?
31406You are the fellow that enlisted to save the schoolmaster''s neck, ai n''t you?
31406You de lady of de house?
31406You have heard from them, then?
31406You know they druv me to it, do n''t ye? 31406 You let Cudjo do what him pleases?"
31406You mean to say, if you are licked, then you wo n''t tell?
31406You offer yourself as a substitute, eh, if I will spare his life?
31406You promise to take me to the cave?
31406You put on the tar?
31406You saw her!--where?
31406You see them little saplings?
31406You see vair the rock comes down? 31406 You take it?"
31406You tell now? 31406 You try your chance wid Cudjo agin, miss?"
31406You understand?
31406You vill take me prisoner?
31406You''re partic''larly interested in the young man, hey?
31406You, Miss Jinny? 31406 You?
31406You? 31406 Your heart is a- burnin'', ai n''t it?"
31406''Fraid your friends will get scorched?"
31406''How so?''
31406''Josh,''says he,''what ye doin''thar?
31406''Member my gal ye got away?
31406( she gazed at him affectionately),"you ai n''t in no great danger, be you?"
31406Ai n''t dar nuffin ol''Toby can be a doin''fur ye, jes''to pass away de time?"
31406All ready?"
31406And Pomp-- where all this time was Pomp?
31406And Virginia?
31406And Virginia?
31406And do you remember I vas putting some supper in my pocket ven you took me to show you the cave?
31406And how was his escape from the state to be effected?
31406And if I am unloved, whose fault is it but my own?
31406And if there should be a little fighting to do, will you help do it?"
31406And some pushes just under it?
31406And was not that a human form moving dimly between him and the sky?
31406And whar''s old Aunt Deb?"
31406And what should we leave it for?"
31406And what was this he saw on awaking?
31406And what''s the use of getting away from it, even if we could?
31406And you know, do n''t you, how Pete came by his licking?"
31406Any thing else I can do for ye?"
31406Any whiskey in the house, widder?"
31406Anybody in the house?"
31406Are we going to make a stand here, and see if the loyal part of old Tennessee will rise up and sustain us?
31406Are you hurt?"
31406As he gazed, he became extremely alarmed for the safety of Stackridge and his friends: and where all this time was Carl?
31406Assuredly, they must have fled from it before this time; but whither had they gone?
31406At length Captain Grudd came to him, and taking him aside, said,--"Well, professor, what do you think of the situation?"
31406Betray his good old master to these ruffians?
31406Blood?"
31406Break his promise to Virginia, his oath to Cudjo and Pomp?
31406But I suppose you know so little how you came here that you would find some difficulty in tracing your way to us again?"
31406But Sprowl is to watch, and be ready to shoot me down?"
31406But am I equal to it?
31406But could he abandon his friends?
31406But had he not the morning before given way to a natural impulse, when he seized a club, firmly resolved to oppose force with force?
31406But he rallied quickly, and said,--"He cure Massa Hapgood?
31406But how was he to avoid participating in scenes of violence if he remained in Tennessee?
31406But how was it possible to comply with his demand?
31406But how?
31406But if he could not, why had he remained absent all day?
31406But if you starve and beat them?
31406But just then Ropes shouted at him,--"What ye at thar, Pepperill?
31406But now she began to question within herself,"What would Penn think?"
31406But tell me-- will you not?--how you came to inhabit this dreadful place?"
31406But the corporal?
31406But until I attain to these, may I not use such weapons as I have?"
31406But what next could she do?
31406But what''s the matter with his hands, sergeant?"
31406But where were the giants?
31406But where were they?
31406Ca n''t you loose the rope a little?
31406Can I do anything for you?"
31406Can I, under all circumstances, live up to it?
31406Can you deny it?"
31406Can you find the way?"
31406Can you, Virginia?"
31406Carl was in despair at this mode of treatment, for it rendered escape impossible,--and what would become of Virginia?
31406Carl''s heart gave a great bound; but he answered with an air of indifference,--"To- night?"
31406Dare you?"
31406Dat ar wan''t you, hey?"
31406Did he look like a Union- shrieker?"
31406Did n''t I say,''Is it you?''
31406Did n''t he corrupt you?"
31406Did n''t he, Dan?"
31406Did ye see him, missis?"
31406Did you ever, in whispering some secret trifle, some all- important, heavenly nothing, just brush the dearest little ear in the world with your lips?
31406Did you not promise your dying brother in your presence to give me my freedom?
31406Do n''t ye know nuffin''?"
31406Do n''t you know me, Wirginie?"
31406Do n''t you know?"
31406Do n''t you see?
31406Do n''t you, Dan?"
31406Do they know where I am?"
31406Do you ask what made me?
31406Do you know whose property this is?"
31406Do you remember how I vas kept quiet ven I vas_ your_ prisoner?
31406Do you think it was taking too much from one who would have robbed me of my soul?"
31406Do you understand?"
31406Do you understand?"
31406Do you, Minny- fish?"
31406Does not the color of a negro''s skin, even in your free states, render him an object of suspicion and hatred?
31406Does the word sound pleasant to your ears?
31406Each gun with its echoes, in those cavernous solitudes, thundered like a whole park of artillery: what, then, was the effect of the volley?
31406For dem''ar white trash, what ye s''pose day knows''bout takin''keer ob a sick gemman like him?
31406For do you know what will happen?
31406For was he not the husband of Salina?
31406Good joke, ai n''t it?"
31406Got his hands tied?
31406Got the schoolmaster fast?"
31406Had Pomp been able to find them?
31406Had Toby forgotten the strain on_ his_ wrists, and the anguish of the thumbs, when this same cruel Lysander had him strung up?
31406Had he really died, and was this unearthly place a vestibule of the infernal regions?
31406Had she been a slave, with a different complexion, although perhaps quite as white, would it have been any the less shameful?
31406Had she recognized her son''s voice?
31406Hapgood?"
31406Has he gone on some errand of yours?"
31406Has n''t Carl come yet?"
31406Has the rule of a hard master seemed grievous to you?
31406Have n''t we come through fire, following you?
31406Have you anything?
31406Have you got your bearings yet, Carl?"
31406Have you lived in this cave ever since?"
31406Have you prayers to make?
31406Have you sighted your man?"
31406He let me down when I was hung up on the rail, and helped me home; and so I says to myself, says I,''Why should n''t I do as much by him?''
31406He resolved to try it: indeed, all unarmed as he was, what else could he do?
31406Holding the branch with one hand, and gesticulating violently with the other, he exclaimed,--"Who is boss here?
31406How came you here?"
31406How can I depend even upon your oath?
31406How could he confront, with his sensitive spirit, those merciless, coarse men?
31406How could he warn her?
31406How does it happen?"
31406How long have you lived here?"
31406How many can read and write?
31406How many men here have any education?
31406How to circumvent the designs of these men?
31406How''s them Dutchmen?"
31406How, now?
31406I can not hope to change it?"
31406I have committed no crime against your laws; if I have, why not let the laws punish me?"
31406I trust no serious harm has been done, my dear Virginia?"
31406I was just starting out to look for them.--Who comes there?"
31406I''ll have the truth out of him, or I''ll have his life?"
31406I''ve tried that, and what did I get for it?"
31406If he, then, is an enemy, what hope is there?
31406Is it cold?
31406Is it damp?
31406Is it gloomy?
31406Is it love that unites such, or is it only the yearning for love?
31406Is it sunrise yet?"
31406Is n''t she loveliness itself?"
31406Is there fatality in a name?"
31406Is there no law, no justice, but the power of the strongest?
31406It was some time before he could reply to Penn''s impetuous demand-- what had brought him up thither?
31406It will be better for the poor maddened wretch himself to prevent him; do n''t you think so, Penn?"
31406It''s the Dutchman, ai n''t it?
31406Jest look arter my family a little, wo n''t ye?
31406Meanwhile Mr. Villars had called Toby to him, and said, in a low voice,--"Is all right with your prisoner?"
31406No?
31406Not that village loafer, who used to go about the streets dressed so shabbily?
31406Now can you see to take aim?"
31406Now you see that rock?"
31406Now, how is it, Pomp?"
31406Now, if he preaks his part of the pargain, vy should n''t I preak mine?"
31406Now, what do you know to the contrary?"
31406Once more alone with this villain, would not some interesting thing occur?
31406Or might they not all have become entangled in the intricacies of the wilderness until encompassed by the fire and destroyed?
31406Or shall we pity it, rather?
31406Penn gave her a look full of electric tenderness, which seemed to say,"Have not I been with you?
31406Penn interrupted the loose and confused narrative-- Virginia: had he_ seen_ her?
31406Pepperill?"
31406Pepperill?"
31406Remain, hoping that he would yet fulfil his promise?
31406Ropes?"
31406Rough streaks along dar, hey?
31406Say dat ar agin, will ye?"
31406Shall I show you?
31406Shall an old Virginian think less of the honor of his house than an Arab?"
31406Shall we condemn the weakness?
31406Shall we take this old man to our den?"
31406She had been there a dozen times; but could she find it in the night?
31406Since the way is opened for us to live together again, why ca n''t you make up your mind to it, let bygones be bygones, and begin life over again?
31406Sprowl,''says he,''do n''t be scared; it''s only me; wo n''t ye let me in?''
31406Sprowl?"
31406Stackridge?"
31406Stackridge?"
31406Stackridge?''
31406Strike a light, and get me some supper, ca n''t you?"
31406Suddenly a voice hailed them:--"Who goes there?"
31406Suddenly he paused: had he heard the words of command whispered?
31406That is not an unreasonable request?"
31406The bright young brow contracted:"Not coming here?"
31406The fatal leap of the terrified horse with his rider is known; but how came Gad on the horse?
31406The grin on the old man''s face was a ghastly one, and his eyes rolled as he stammered forth,--"Miss Jinny-- ye seen Miss Jinny?"
31406The master is out, then?
31406Then Carl stopped again, and said,--"You see that tree?"
31406Then Lysander put the question: Was he prepared to tell all he knew about the fugitives and the cave?
31406Then will you side with your avowed enemies, or with those who are already fighting in your cause without knowing it?"
31406There must be sunshine, and birds, and brooks,--human nature, life, suffering, aspiration, and----""And love?"
31406This is the happiest day I''ve seen----""Ah, what''s happened to- day?"
31406To ask my forgiveness?
31406Toby, why do n''t you bring that bootjack?"
31406Too late?
31406Turn agin''him?"
31406Vill you leave her to die?
31406Villars----?"
31406Villars?"
31406Villars?"
31406Vot shall I do?
31406Was Lysander going alone with him to the mountains?
31406Was ever a hero of romance in such a dismal plight?
31406Was his cry heard?
31406Was it any satisfaction for him to feel that he was thus avenged?
31406Was it not all a dream?
31406Was it not assuming a terrible responsibility to send this rampant sinner to his long account?
31406Was it on the rocks over their heads?
31406Was it some animal, or only a phantom of his feverish brain?
31406Was it supposed that the good old practice of applying torture to enforce confession had long since been done away with?
31406Was it the beauty of the earth and sky that made him shiver with so sudden and sweet a thrill?
31406Was she shocked by this cold, atrocious spirit of calculation?
31406Was this murder he had committed?
31406Wha''ye totin''on him fur?"
31406What are you doing with that nigger?"
31406What are you here for?
31406What chance is there for a man like me?"
31406What could that something be?
31406What do you mean?"
31406What do you say, youngster?
31406What had become of him?
31406What had she fled to the mountain for?
31406What have you got those bracelets on for?"
31406What hinders you?"
31406What if you''d seen dat back when''twas fust cut up?
31406What is going to become of us, if relief does n''t arrive soon?
31406What is the matter?"
31406What is there to be said which he did not say?"
31406What makes you think so?"
31406What right had Mrs. Stackridge to be absent when she came to borrow?
31406What satisfaction can there be in taking the life of so degraded and abject a creature?"
31406What shall I do?
31406What shall I say to them for you?"
31406What should he do?
31406What should she do?
31406What then?
31406What was he trying to lift and drag along the ground?
31406What was the man doing there?
31406What was to be done?
31406What we want to know is, will you join us?
31406What will folks say?"
31406What will you do?"
31406What would the world say?
31406What ye want o''Cudjo?"
31406What you doin''dar?
31406What''s going on?"
31406What''s in this box?
31406What, then, was left him but to perish here, alone, uncared for, unconsoled by a word of love from any human being?
31406What, then, would be his fate?
31406Where am I, anyhow?"
31406Where had he been during those hours of oblivion?
31406Where is Salina?"
31406Where is Toby?"
31406Where is your husband?
31406Where''s Pepperill?"
31406Where''s Sile Ropes?"
31406Where''s your schoolmaster?
31406Whether they will ever be happily united on earth, who can say?
31406Which Toby?
31406Which do you prefer-- the death of a traitor, or the glorious career of a soldier in the confederate army?"
31406Who brought in this fellow?"
31406Who can it be?"
31406Who gib ol''Toby his freedom, an''den''pose to pay him wages?
31406Who had committed the barbarous act?
31406Who ye goin''to mind?
31406Why ai n''t ye to work?''
31406Why did he not leave the body?
31406Why did n''t you tell me before?"
31406Why do n''t ye bring along that ar brush?"
31406Why do you come to torture me now?"
31406Why do you desert us now?"
31406Why do you follow to persecute us?
31406Why is it I feel such trust that Virginia will be provided for?
31406Why should we care which side destroys the other?"
31406Why was she sitting there, wasting the time in tears and reproaches?
31406Will no one speak for my life?"
31406Will you come?"
31406Will you favor us with a song, Virginia?"
31406Will you go back to the rebels, or make a push with us for the free states?
31406Will you write?
31406With those stones?
31406With what, you wonder?
31406Wo bin ich, mutter?_"But the words were not strange to Carl; neither was the voice strange.
31406Wo n''t he hear?"
31406Wonder if Mis''Stackridge and the childern have gone to the mountains too?
31406Would I wish to see my country submit?
31406Would he be retained a prisoner, like the rest, or delivered over to the mob that sought his life?
31406Would it be safe to move him, Toby?"
31406Would the schoolmaster join them?
31406Would you take a look at it?"
31406Yet the choice was between his life and Penn''s; and had not Pomp done well?
31406You are alive and vell now, ai n''t you?"
31406You feel pretty sound in your witals, do n''t you?
31406You hate a man that you''ve befriended, and that''s turned traitor agin''ye, worse''n you hate an open inemy, do n''t ye?
31406You might almost, I think, decide the question of a man''s Christianity by his answer to this:''What is your feeling towards the negro?''
31406You offer yourself to be whipped in this old nigger''s place?"
31406You promised Captain Sprowl, did you not, that you would conduct him to the cave?"
31406You remember what that was?
31406You think, maybe, the discussion vould not be greatly to your adwantage?"
31406You understand?"
31406You vill not tell?
31406_ THE OLD CLERGYMAN''S NIGHTGOWN HAS AN ADVENTURE._ Where, then, all this time, was Penn?
31406ai n''t it almost too bad?
31406ai n''t it the schoolmaster?"
31406and Carl?
31406and am I nothing to you?"
31406and the snug little Villars property, did he not covet it?
31406and then what would you do?"
31406and vasn''t I running to find you as vast as ever a vellow could?
31406are you crazy?"
31406are you sure?"
31406but being only a"nigger,"what else could you expect of him?
31406cavalry?"
31406could n''t you find''em?
31406cried Lysander, recoiling into the arms of his men;"what the devil do you mean?"
31406cried the old clergyman, with an energy that startled them,"what are you about to do?"
31406dat you, Cudjo?"
31406dat you?
31406dat you?"
31406did I promise to say all you wished?"
31406did he not?"
31406did n''t him take Massa Hapgood and make him well?
31406do n''t ye know Cudjo?
31406do n''t ye know?"
31406do n''t you''member Toby?
31406forsake Virginia and her father when the toils of villany were tightening around them?
31406g''e know Cudjo?
31406git mad, why do n''t ye?"
31406he answered, in the same language,"is it you?"
31406he called, searching among the prisoners;"is Medad Stackridge here?"
31406how came you here?"
31406how did he come hyar?"
31406is it you?
31406is it you?"
31406laughed Cudjo, getting down on his knees over the opossum;"how ye make dat out, by?"
31406leave Stackridge and his compatriots to their fate, when it might be in his power to forewarn and save them?
31406not Mass''Hapgood?"
31406not mobbed?"
31406or are we going to fight our way over the mountains, and never come back till a Union army comes with us to set things a little to rights here?"
31406or de mornin''arter?
31406or in caverns beneath their feet?
31406or not?"
31406or was he impressed by the awful mystery and silence?
31406or was it the lovely presence at his side, in whom was incarnated, for him, all the beauty, all the light, all the joy of the universe?
31406or, in listening to the syllables of divine nonsense, feel the warm breath and light touch of the magnetic thrilling mouth?
31406roared Lysander,"why do n''t you bring that bootjack?"
31406said Carl,"how came you here?"
31406said Silas, turning angrily on the recumbent figure,"what are you stretching your lazy bones thar fur?
31406said he,''do you think I was in earnest?''
31406said the agitated girl;"are you able?"
31406she called,"where are you?

31406what are you about?"
31406what are you doing here?"
31406what are you going to do with that old man?"
31406what are you staring for?
31406what can Pomp do?
31406what did he see?
31406what did you say to him through the winder?"
31406what for?"
31406what of her?"
31406what?"
31406where have you been?"
31406who?"
31406why did n''t I know you?"
31406why do n''t you?
