21549How much for to go to the other side of the river-- how much pence?
21549How old are you?
21549How then can you say that you are friends with my father? 21549 How''s that Tom?"

21549How''s the old gentleman, father?
21549How, then, does Mr Knapps account for not producing those caricatures of mine, which he says he has collected for a whole month? 21549 How?"
21549Humph, ca n''t he take me down?
21549I agree with you, sir; but what does Mrs Turnbull say now-- has she come to her senses?
21549I am humbled, Jacob--"Nonsense, old gentleman; why make a fuss about nothing?
21549I am waiting below, with my boat, for Mr Wharncliffe; has he come yet?
21549I dare say that I am, but how can I help that? 21549 I do acknowledge it, mamma; but what is this reward to be?"

21549I have promised him nothing; but why does not Tom come back and look after me? 21549 I know it, so you may save yourself the trouble, you saucy boy; but now, for your age?"

21549I say, my lad, can you swim?
21549I say, my lads,said he, taking us both for watermen,"have you a mind to earn a couple of guineas with very little trouble?"
21549I thank you, sir; will you allow me and his betrothed to see him?
21549I very often do thank my stars, and that''s the truth of it; but what''s the use of being angry about a drop of rum, or a handful of sugar?
21549I wonder where green men are to be found?
21549I''ve lived all my life without it, and never felt the want of it-- why ca n''t you?
21549If I unlock your leg, you''ll unlock the cupboard?
21549If that is the case, why do you wrong another person? 21549 If they''re dead, why not let them rest in their graves?"
21549If this is true, Mary, what madness could have induced you to have acted as you have?
21549If you please, sir, may I not defend myself?
21549Indeed!--then where is Mrs Turnbull?
21549Indeed, Jacob, thy stern as well as thy head are in danger; and I suppose, then,_ w- i- n- d_ spells windlass, does it not?
21549Indeed, Jacob; what, is she light?
21549Is all our company here?
21549Is he aware of the extent of his misfortune?
21549Is he dead?
21549Is it? 21549 Is that thy candid opinion, Jacob?"
21549Is your cabin large?
21549It hath, then, medicinal virtues?
21549Jacob Faithful, canst thou read?
21549Jacob Faithful, how is this? 21549 Jacob Faithful, why still porest thou over thy book-- didst thou not understand that the hours of recreation had arrived?
21549Jacob, I feel the wrath rising within me, yet would I fain spare thee; if_ h- a- t_ spell fur- cap, pray advise me, what doth_ c- a- p_ spell, then?
21549Jacob, have you finished your breakfast? 21549 Jacob, how does the bluff- nob bear?
21549Jacob, look at father-- now, does he blush?
21549Jacob, why do n''t you join?
21549Jacob,said Mary, whispering to my ear,"is n''t_ loving_ a sense?"
21549Jacob,said she, looking earnestly at me,"you surely will be friends with_ my_ father?"
21549Jenkins,cried Tinfoil,"where did you get the oil for the castors?

21549John Marables-- guilty or not guilty?
21549Lord, father, have n''t you got one already?
21549Madame, do you soup? 21549 Madame, what will you be_ h_assisted to?"
21549Mamma, have I not always been a dutiful daughter?
21549Mast- head there-- do you make her out?
21549May I look at those caricatures, sir?
21549Mrs Peters, will you try the dish next Mr Turnbull? 21549 Mrs Turnbull, what soup have you there?"
21549My lad, is it too late for you to launch your boat? 21549 Nay, I said not that I was afraid of fire- arms; but why should you shoot?"
21549Nay, Jacob, if tomorrow why not to- day? 21549 Nay, Jacob; how can he_ keep_ what are_ already gone_?
21549Nay, that were an injustice,replied the Dominie;"but what defence canst thou offer?
21549No take money?
21549No, I believe not much, but I wish to know where he is, to write to him; could you find out?
21549No, Tom, all''s wrong; look at these meshes?
21549No, it a''n''t, you thief; how is it Jacob?
21549No, no-- I would n''t think of ordering him, but I know he will do it-- wo n''t you, Jacob?
21549No; but you told the young lady, you silly fellow; and do you think she will keep it a secret from him?
21549Not drink anything?
21549Not more? 21549 Not of my own, but you have heard what Winterbottom wrote under the bust of Shakespeare last Jubilee?"
21549Not old Tom and his son?
21549Now that I consider quite unnatural; why part father and son?
21549Now, Mrs T, will you oblige me by letting me know what you have done with this six hundred pounds?
21549Now, father, are you all right?
21549Now, sir, what have you to say for yourself?
21549Now, sir,cried I,"if you believe that I drew the caricatures of you and Mrs Bately-- did I draw this, which is by the same person?"
21549Now,said Marables, after this narration,"how could I help assisting one who has been so kind to me?
21549O Tom, Tom, what must be done? 21549 O yes,"replied she,"never fear that; father will let you do all the work you please, and look on-- won''t you, father?"
21549O, I''m bigger, that''s all? 21549 O, Mr T, I''ve such an''eadache?"
21549Of course, all for love,replied Mary, looking at me,"or Latin-- which, Jacob?"
21549Oh, he told you so, did he? 21549 Oh, not your own boat?
21549Oh, you blam''d young poachers, so I''ve caught you, have I?
21549Oh, you''ve thought better of it, have you? 21549 Old Tom, is that you?"
21549Old Tom; where have I seen that name? 21549 Pease- blossom and Mustard- seed are much to blame,"replied Tinfoil;"but shall I run back for it?"
21549Plead you to me, fair dame? 21549 Pray what sort of a thing is philosophy?"
21549Pray, captain, what may be that vessel they talk so much about at New York?
21549Pray, sir, did you ever hear me speak of my poor mother but with kindness?
21549Pray, sir, what''s the use of speech, sir?
21549Quite as good as independence; is it not, Jacob?
21549Senses going, do you say, master?
21549Shall I go to his assistance?
21549Shall not?
21549She be a pretty craft, that little thing of yours,observed old Tom;"how long may she take to make the run?"
21549Six o''clock-- did you say, Mrs Bately? 21549 So they do, father, do n''t they, sometimes?"
21549So we have, my dear; I had forgotten it; but on Thursday we are quite alone: will you come, then on Thursday, Jacob?
21549So when I was well, and on my pins again, the gentleman says,` What can I do for you?'' 21549 So, younker,"said Fleming, after casting an inquiring eye upon me,"you are to sail with us, are you?
21549Speak, maiden? 21549 Still I ask you, what has become of the boy?
21549Stop: Fleming, what is that you mean to do?
21549Suppose Tom and I look out for another craft, Jacob? 21549 Suppose you did-- what then?"
21549Tell me, Jacob,said old Tom, with a quivering lip,"did you see the last of him?
21549Tell me, did you see a boat with two men in it as you came along?
21549Tell me, friend Dux,interrupted the Dominie,"doth a jackdaw die in any peculiar way?"
21549Tell the truth; didst thou not draw them thyself, since thou didst not receive them from other people?
21549Thank you; sir; what is the play?
21549Thanky for nothing; when do I ever take too much, you scamp?
21549That''s a fine word, that_ impregnate_--will you give us the English of it, sir?
21549That''s it, is it? 21549 That''s just as cruel; why part two such good friends?"
21549That''s why you went to my cupboard, is it, Mr Dobbs?
21549The detachment of the 47th Fusiliers from the depot-- has it marched? 21549 The grog is what I mean-- how dare you drink it?"
21549Then how am I to know that you are apprentices?
21549Then you have never been at school?
21549Then, Barnaby Bracegirdle, from whom didst thou receive them?
21549Then, father, it seems that you''re no boat- builder, but you want people to fancy that you are-- a''n''t that the question?
21549Then, where have you been all your life?
21549This, then, is young Tom, I presume, Jacob?
21549Thou hast not yet seen the Drummonds, Jacob?
21549Tom, Tom, you good- for- nothing-- why do n''t you let my net alone?
21549Tom, Tom, you rascal, what the devil are you about?
21549Tom, let go my net again, will you? 21549 Tom, what have you got for supper, boy?
21549Tom, where''s my pot of tea? 21549 Tom, you beggar, is the bundle ready for your mother?
21549Tom,said I,"do you know the consequences of desertion?"
21549Upon the same principle, what does_ r- a- t_ spell?
21549Very much obliged to Madame,replied Turnbull, gruffly;"and now, pray sir, what may be your pleasure?"
21549Very nice rooms, nevertheless; ai n''t they, boy?
21549Very proper; whom did you say them to?
21549Very true, Tom? 21549 Very well, I have no objection; when am I to begin?"
21549Very well, I shall be at your orders-- at what time?
21549Vous trouvez notre langue fort difficile, n''est- ce pas?
21549Wait a little,said the officer;"how many men have you in this barge?"
21549Want to see Tommy, sir?
21549Was the young gentleman hurt, ma''am, in the scuffle last night?
21549Was there mischief when you fell in love with my mother and married her?
21549Waterman, what do you mean?
21549Watermen, heh? 21549 Well, Drummond,"said Mr Turnbull,"what are coals worth now?"
21549Well, I suppose I am; but that''s what I call chop logic-- aren''t it, master?
21549Well, I suppose you told me that story to prevent my going a voyage?
21549Well, Jacob, how do you like the Old Bailey? 21549 Well, Jacob, my boy, had sleep enough?
21549Well, Mary, how do you get on?
21549Well, and a very proper one--`_Too much familiarity breeds contempt_''-- is it not so, Master Faithful?
21549Well, but what a pretty mess we are in: here we have property belonging to God knows whom; and what are we to do with it?
21549Well, but, master, if a vulgar error saves a man from Davy Jones''s locker, ar''n''t it just as well to sew it up in the waistband of your trowsers?
21549Well, do n''t I grow too? 21549 Well, father, how much longer can you hold on?"
21549Well, master, am I to finish, or have you had enough of it?
21549Well, my dear, is that anything to be ashamed of?
21549Well, now, suppose we sit down and make ourselves comfortable,observed Stapleton;"but here be somebody else coming up-- who can it be?"
21549Well, shoes are of no use to you now, father-- why should n''t I? 21549 Well, then, I will trust you, and think you sent from heaven to my aid; but how am I to see you?
21549Well, then, now it''s all over; but Jacob, are you sure you are friends with me?
21549Well, then, shall we say Wednesday?
21549Well, then, sir, Mr Knapps told you the day before that I could draw?
21549Well, then, so I will,answered he;"what shall it be about?"
21549Well, then, what was the other?
21549Well, then, why do n''t you do it?
21549Well,said Fleming, sarcastically,"have you made a seizure?"
21549Well,said Mary,"do you always talk as you do now?
21549Well?
21549What business have you to shove your oar in, Mr Waterman?
21549What can be done?
21549What did you want?
21549What do you do, Jacob?
21549What do you say Jacob?
21549What do you want''em for?
21549What do you wish me to say?
21549What has happened, good Dux? 21549 What have you got to leave, father, except your wooden legs?"
21549What is it that I dare not do, Marables? 21549 What is that, boy?"
21549What is your opinion, sir?
21549What makes you ask that question?
21549What matter does that make, provided it holds a man up?
21549What money''s in my purse? 21549 What profession are you of, sir?"
21549What sort of horses have you in America?
21549What the devil''s that?
21549What then?
21549What then?
21549What vow was that? 21549 What was that?"
21549What was that?
21549What water have we down here on the side?
21549What will be the result?
21549What will it cost?
21549What will you do then?
21549What''s Latin?
21549What''s all this?
21549What''s all this?
21549What''s lopsided, and what''s a lubber?
21549What''s moral?
21549What''s that to you? 21549 What''s that to you?
21549What''s that, boy?
21549What''s that, master?
21549What''s that?
21549What''s the good o''that, when you ca n''t bear malice for ten minutes?
21549What''s the matter with deaf Stapleton?
21549What''s the matter, father?
21549What''s the matter?
21549What''s the use of reading and writing to you? 21549 What, are you going to build a new house?"
21549What, are you_ two_ again?
21549What, sir? 21549 What, the Dominie?"
21549What, the other man under you?
21549What,` kiss and make friends?''
21549When can you come and dine with us, Jacob? 21549 When do you come alongside of my schooner, for tother lading with this raft of yours?
21549When, Mr T? 21549 Where did you buy it?"
21549Where do you come from now?
21549Where do you wish to go to, sir? 21549 Where is Jacob Faithful?
21549Where is Mr Turnbull?
21549Where is Tom?
21549Where is he?
21549Where to, sir?
21549Where''s Stephano?
21549Where_ have_ you been?
21549Which is the next, Jacob?
21549Which side, sir?
21549Which, sir; wit or money?
21549Who are you, monsieur?
21549Who are you, my lads?
21549Who are you? 21549 Who can fry fish?"
21549Who can say what''s under the skin, Tom? 21549 Who did me that office, Jacob?"
21549Who do you think has been here?
21549Who might Port Royal Tom be?
21549Who wants me?
21549Who would n''t to serve a friend? 21549 Who, then, can fry fish, I ask?"
21549Why did you deceive us in that way?
21549Why do n''t you answer when you''re called to, heh?
21549Why do n''t you heave- to for it?
21549Why not tell-- why not tell?
21549Why not?
21549Why should he have denied his being able to draw?
21549Why so, my lad?
21549Why so?
21549Why so?
21549Why, Jacob, what''s come over you? 21549 Why, do n''t you know?"
21549Why, what can have become of Joe?
21549Why, what would you do with him?
21549Why, what_ is_ the matter, Stapleton?
21549Why, you do n''t mean to say he is overboard?
21549Why_ Miss_, Jacob?
21549Will you allow me to show it to you?
21549Will you allow us to go on shore for half- an- hour to think about it?
21549Will you ask Mr Knapps from whom he had these drawings, and at what time? 21549 Will you come and see us, Jacob?
21549Will you do as we do, sir?
21549Will you please to send for the boat, sir? 21549 Will you promise me not to continue your advances to the Dominie, Mary?"
21549Will you see your father and mother first?
21549Will you teach me?
21549Williams,said I,"did you not tell me that Barnaby Bracegirdle had drawn my mother flaming at the mouth?"
21549Without my leave, heh?
21549Wo n''t you be a little out of breath before you come back, sir?
21549Wo n''t your lordship walk to the fire? 21549 Would you like to have a row on the water?
21549Would you like to hear it, sir?
21549Would you like to learn to read and write?
21549Would you like to see them now?
21549Yes, Jacob, but how?
21549Yes, some of the servants might-- but how will you get to them?
21549Yes, that may be true, Tom; but suppose we had both come down with a run, what would you have thought then?
21549Yes; but you have a boy; where is he?
21549Yes; that''s true; but they say Jacob is to be discharged and come home, now that he''s come to a fortune; and what will Tom say then?
21549Yes; what is it?
21549You are a good fellow, Jacob,said Tom;"but I say, do you recollect Wimbledon Common?"
21549You are n''t afraid of fire- arms, are ye, sir?
21549You are not angry with me, father, for deserting?
21549You are not well, Jacob?
21549You can write and read, then?
21549You do n''t mean to leave us, sir?
21549You had a_ drop_ too much, that''s all, and what o''that? 21549 You mentioned Lord Scrope just now as your particular friend, I think?"
21549You refuse, do you? 21549 You''ve got your money-- is that sufficient, or do you want anything else?"
21549You, Mary, what can you teach him?
21549_ Eheu, Jacobe_!--where am I? 21549 _ Propria quae maribus_ had a little dog,_ Quae genus_ was his name--"My memory faileth me-- what was the tune?"
21549_ Ve_; what are those by you, Mr Peters?
21549` A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether,''sang out old Tom: and then looking at Tom,"Now, ai n''t you a pretty rascal, master Tom?"
21549` And what brought you here, Poll?'' 21549 ` Be that you, Ben?''
21549` But I was n''t, Poll?'' 21549 ` How''s this?''
21549` What have you there, Tom?'' 21549 ` Where am I to put this?''
21549` Which of you took the liquor?'' 21549 ` Who''s there?''
21549` Why, how''s this?'' 21549 ''ave I not often told you so?
21549A''ter Ben was gone, Poll makes her appearance, and when she finds Ben was n''t in the tap, says,` Young woman, did a man go upstairs just now?''
21549Ai n''t that being a very dutiful son?"
21549Alas where?
21549Am I to believe you?"
21549And how can you talk of liberty?"
21549And how''s Tom?
21549And now are you satisfied?"
21549And what brought you here, Ben?''
21549And what harm does it do Mr Drummond?
21549And what is that which presses upon my brain?
21549And when does it embark?"
21549And why did you not tell me that it was you whom I hired on the night when I was so unfortunate?"
21549And you heard every word that passed?"
21549Ar''n''t you ashamed of yourself?''
21549Are my paraphernalia in the boat, Jacob?"
21549Are not we all likely to be deceived-- all likely to do wrong?
21549Are the boys washed-- and in the schoolroom?
21549Are we to let go the anchor, or pipe to dinner first?"
21549Are you agreed?"
21549Are you an apprentice, then?"
21549Are you anything of a shot?"
21549Are you ill, or--?"
21549Are you really a waterman?"
21549Art thou then Dux?"
21549As long as you punished yourself I did not upbraid you; but now that you have been so fortunate, I tell you plainly--""What?"
21549Barnaby Bracegirdle, thou gavest this caricature to Mr Knapps; from whence hadst thou it?
21549But am I not too much punished, Jacob?
21549But did you not say that he was ordered to the West Indies?"
21549But to the question: why were not the bills paid, and what had she done with the money?
21549But what can you_ h_expect from an_''og_?"
21549But what the devil does the fellow mean by calling a gale of wind--_a gal_?"
21549But what was that now?
21549But what_ is_ to become of me?"
21549But where was poor Mr Quince all this time?
21549But whom have we here?
21549But why do you fix your eyes upon me so earnestly?"
21549But why have you kept away so long?"
21549Can I be of any service to you, ma''am?"
21549Can I say more?"
21549Can you take me there now?"
21549Canst thou conjugate, Jacob?
21549Canst thou decline, Jacob?
21549Canst thou hear, Jacob?
21549Canst thou scan, Jacob?
21549Canst thou tell me Latin for goose?"
21549Come now, Mr Short, answer me; you came off beastly drunk-- who gave you the liquor?''
21549Did either you, or your precious friend, Mr Tom, even speak to me?"
21549Did he tell you all that passed?"
21549Did it hurt you much?"
21549Did not I, even I, in thy presence, backslide into intemperance and folly?
21549Did the young ones pay me any?
21549Did you bring the bottle, Tom?"
21549Did your fairyship ever hear my epigram on the subject?
21549Do n''t Tom write and say that he''s quite happy, and do n''t care where he is so long as he''s with Jacob?"
21549Do n''t you perceive the justice of my remarks?"
21549Do n''t you think so, my old boozer?"
21549Do you guess now?"
21549Do you hear me-- or what are you thinking of?"
21549Do you mean to obey_ my_ order or not?"
21549Do you not offer everything first to a woman?
21549Do you not perceive that you are now in error?
21549Do you refuse to come with me?"
21549Do you think you could find him out?"
21549Do you understand now?"
21549Dost thou understand?"
21549Doth not the heart throb and beat-- yea, strongly-- peradventure too forcibly against my better judgment?
21549Eh, father?"
21549Grate, Pyrrha-- sub antro?"
21549Hav''n''t I always told you not to look into it?
21549Have I not felt thy presence everywhere?
21549Have I not often, during our long friendship, told you that I loved you?"
21549Have I not, Mr Dobbs?"
21549Have we not_ Hiren_ here?"
21549Have you any more?"
21549Have you any objection to let him have them?"
21549Have you seen Mary?"
21549Here we were interrupted--"I say, you watermen, have you a mind for a good fare?"
21549Holla, who have we got here?
21549Hollo, there, are you hard and fast?"
21549How came you so knowing in those matters?"
21549How dare you touch the bottle?"
21549How did he behave?
21549How did he look?
21549How do you do this fine morning?''
21549How do you know that I am not serious?"
21549How long do you mean to sarve?"
21549How many inches of water you get last night, marm?''
21549How much are we the sport of circumstances, and how insensibly they mark out our career in this world?
21549How much do you require?"
21549How much more have you to serve?"
21549How''s poor Mary?
21549How''s tide, Tom?"
21549How''s tide?"
21549However, let me only hold on another five years, and then you''ll not see her want; will you, Tom?"
21549However, never mind,"and Tom carolled forth--"Is not the sea Made for the free-- Land for courts and chains alone?
21549I always pay my debts honourably when I can find the lawful creditors; but where are the watermen?"
21549I ask you, do you believe me?"
21549I came down with her, and old Tom said,"Did the old woman show you the room with the white curtains, Jacob?"
21549I once took an Englishman with me in a gig up Allibama country, and he says,` What''s this great churchyard we are passing through?''
21549I shoved off the wherry:"Down, sir?"
21549I suppose you observed a change-- heh?"
21549I suppose you''ll give him a hail, Jacob?"
21549I think Mrs T has already lost about six hundred pounds at_ ecarte_ before?"
21549I trust no one was hurt when they fired at you?"
21549I want old Stapleton-- is he here?"
21549I went up to the person pointed out to me;"If you please, sir--""What the devil do you want?"
21549I wonder whether I shall ever understand them?"
21549In the morning, as usual, Tom came to my cot, and asked me how I was?
21549Is Lady Auburn at home?"
21549Is it agreed?"
21549Is it not her right?"
21549Is it not, old lady?"
21549Is n''t your lordship cold?
21549Is the ship come home?"
21549Is there not a worm-- a canker-- that gnaws within?"
21549It has made me so happy; what do you mean to do?"
21549It''s but a poor reward for long and hard service-- poor encouragement to do your duty; but what do they care?
21549Jacob, are n''t your pannikin empty, my boy?"
21549Jacob, did you ever see that old gentleman sail too close to the wind before?"
21549Jacob, do you think of going on board of a man- of- war?"
21549Jacob, how dare you go to my cupboard?"
21549Jacob, my boy, could n''t you say that I''ve met with an_ accident_, and get a drop of something from Mr Drummond?"
21549Jacob, who is that tall old chap, with such a devil of a cutwater, which I met just now with master?
21549Jacob, will you go?"
21549Jacob?"
21549Jacobe-- fili dilectissime-- quid fecisti_?"
21549Je voudrais embrasser votre cuisinier-- c''est un artiste comme il n''y a pas?"
21549Jem, do you call yourself a man, and stand this here?"
21549Knowest thou thine alphabet?"
21549Madame, will you eat some_ bidet du poms_?"
21549Mary paused, and then said,"Jacob, did we not read the last time that the most dangerous rocks to men were_ wine_ and_ women_?"
21549May I not love you as I do my father?"
21549Monsieur Turnbull, I feel very much for you; but suppose a gentleman no lose his_ honour_, what matter de money?"
21549Monsieur, when a lady say she will play_ comment faire_, what can you do?"
21549Mr Winterbottom, who was doing nothing, accosted her;"May I beg as a favour that you do not cut the salad too small?
21549Mrs Drummond, will you try the dish coming round?
21549My Lord Babbleton, I''ope the lamb''s_ to your liking_?
21549My lad, do you know the nature of an oath?"
21549My memory-- where is it?
21549My poor boy?"
21549Nay, have not the boys in the classes discovered my weakness, and do they not shout out Mary in the hours of play?
21549No-- he''s not come; nor did he say that he would come; when did you see him?"
21549Not that I would repine; but is it not too much for me to bear, when I think that I am the destroyer of one who loved me so?"
21549Now an''t he?"
21549Now, Jacob, this is the last time that thou triflest with me; what does_ h- a- t_ spell?"
21549Now, Jacob, what does_ d- o- g_ spell?"
21549Now, Jacob, what does_ m- a- t_ spell?"
21549Now, Master Dominie, may it not be faith that a man has in the_ caul_ which may save him?"
21549Now, for instance, how long have you to serve, my lad?"
21549Now, my lads, do you perceive your chance?"
21549Now, tell me, what did he say about me?"
21549Now, tell me, who is the gentleman who was with you in the boat, and who has charge of the box?
21549Now, the girl at the bar was a fresh- comer, and answers,` What girl?''
21549Now, there was no great harm in that a year or two ago; but now, you know, Jacob--""Well now, what then?"
21549Now, there''s Tom, in the first place, what''s to do with he?
21549Now, what could you do more than you do now, if you larnt to read and write?"
21549Now, who do you think are those?"
21549Of what condition are you-- and of what place, I pray?"
21549Of you, sir,"addressing the Dominie,"for my conduct towards you, which was cruel and indefensible-- will you forgive me?"
21549Old Tom gave me a hearty squeeze of the hand, and then continued--"But about this wherry-- what do you say, old woman?"
21549On what day was it that I asked you for the pencil to draw with?
21549Pray, how do you propose?"
21549Promise me, Jacob, will you?"
21549Shall one girl be victorious over seventy boys?
21549She paused, looked earnestly at me for a little while, and then continued,"How did you learn the air you whistled?"
21549Sing us a song, my old hearty; or shall I sing you one?
21549So says he,` When the young woman stepped into the boat did she give you the bundle?''
21549So says he,` Whose be these?''
21549Suppose you volunteer?"
21549Suppose, master, you hear the story first, and understand it a''terwards?"
21549Surely I am not to be censured, if I prefer to work for my bread after my own fashion, and prefer the river to dry land?"
21549Surely we have moved from the wharf?"
21549Tell me Jacob, if old men a how themselves to be caught, as well as young, where is the crime of catching them?
21549Tell me now, what does_ c- a- t_ spell?"
21549Tell me, do you think you could remember the tune which he whistled so often?"
21549The bell was answered by an old woman, who, in a snarling tone, asked me"what did I want?"
21549The conversation became general, but still rather embarrassed, when Sarah whispered to me"What is the favour you would ask of my father?"
21549The officer in the stern sheets, who steered her, then said,"How came you overboard?"
21549The tide turns in half- an- hour, sir; are you ready to go on board?"
21549Then pray what''s the use of your talking all that gibberish, that none of us could understand?"
21549There was my mother with a quartern of gin before her, walking to and fro, and whimpering to herself; so says I,` Mother, what''s the matter now?''
21549They are well?"
21549This was''bout a month after I had first seen her; and then one day Jones, who was a prize- fighter, says to me,` Be you a man?''
21549Thou art now but an apprentice in a barge; but what mayest thou not be, Jacob, if thou art diligent-- if thou fear God, and be honest?
21549Thou hast quitted the element thou so joyously controlledst, thou hast come upon the terra firma for thy grave?
21549Thou understandest me, Jacob-- guilty or not guilty?"
21549Thus, Jacob, was wine given to cheer the heart of man; yet, didst not thou witness me, thy preceptor, debased by intemperance?
21549To- morrow you go down to old Beazeley''s?"
21549Tom, did n''t you think his nose loomed devilish large yesterday?"
21549Tom, where''s the bottle?"
21549Tom, you scoundrel, am I to stick here all day?"
21549Tom,''says he to me,` ai n''t that my pouch which my wife gave me when I came back last trip?''
21549Vous vous portez bien; n''est- ce pas?"
21549Was he soon out of his pain?
21549Was it not on a Saturday?"
21549Was n''t I?"
21549We now shot Putney Bridge, and as a wherry passed us, old Tom carolled out--"Did you ever hear tell of a jolly young waterman?"
21549Well, Jacob, how do you like it?"
21549Well, master, how do you like your liquor?"
21549Well, now, what do you think was the upshot of it?
21549Well, what then?
21549What a funny old beggar it is, father-- aren''t it?"
21549What business had you with the pipeclay?
21549What can our women have been about?"
21549What connection is there?"
21549What could he mean?"
21549What day will you be able to come?
21549What do I care for such stuff?"
21549What do you make of her, Mr Wilson?"
21549What do you say, old woman?"
21549What has been the matter?
21549What have I done to deserve all this?"
21549What have you done with the old gentleman''s swallow- tail?"
21549What is it so loadeth my cerebellum, even as if it were lead?
21549What is it that the boy is providing for us?
21549What is it?"
21549What is that frizzing in your frying- pan?
21549What is your name?"
21549What oil did you get?--are you sure it was right?"
21549What sayest thou, Jacob, dost thou feel inclined to return to thy father Thames?"
21549What shall it be, young woman, a sea ditty, or something_ spooney_?"
21549What the devil shall we do?"
21549What will the dame say?
21549What will you do then, father?"
21549What will you take me for?"
21549What will you take next?"
21549What will your lordship condescend to_ make use_ of now?"
21549What''s the reason, Jacob, that sons be always cleverer than their fathers?"
21549What''s the use of that?
21549What''s your name?"
21549When wilt thou be able to visit Mr Drummond, and be able to thank him for his kindness?"
21549Where about is she, my lad?"
21549Where are you going to- day?"
21549Where are you going, my lads?"
21549Where did you pick it up?''
21549Where is Simon Swapps?"
21549Where is the blooming cheek, ruddy with the browning air?
21549Where shall we go first?"
21549Where''s Caliban?"
21549Wherefore didst thou set him the example?"
21549Who but a madman would have chosen three harpoons_ saluims_, and three barrels_ couchants_, with a spouting whale for a crest?
21549Who can be cross on such a morning as this?"
21549Who cares?
21549Who do you think this is painted by?"
21549Who is the man who reported it?"
21549Who would have been aware that the candle went out in your study, except Jacob Faithful?"
21549Why did n''t he give them to you before?"
21549Why did n''t you wait-- and why did you go to the cupboard?
21549Why did you not call us?"
21549Why did you not say so?
21549Why do n''t you hold yourself up?
21549Why do n''t you trust me?
21549Why risest thou not upon thy feet like the others?"
21549Why should I call you from your breakfast?
21549Why should I not love an old man with so much learning?
21549Why the devil did n''t you take care of your wherry, and haul a- head when you saw the launch coming?"
21549Why wert thou transplanted from thine own element?
21549Will the rules of the school permit his remaining?"
21549Will you come now?
21549Will you come on Wednesday?"
21549Will you get me one, Jacob?"
21549Will you have the kindness to put me out of my misery?"
21549Will you like to go?
21549Will you make use of some?
21549Will you refuse your old playmate, Jacob?"
21549Will you take Madeira?
21549Will you take me about two miles up the river?"
21549Will you, my lord?
21549William?
21549Wilt thou have it in Latin or in Greek?"
21549With that, Ben, who thought he knew the voice, walks up to her, and says,` Be that you, Poll?''
21549Would she receive me, or would she still remember what I had been?
21549Would you have fired at him?
21549Yet why should I blame her?
21549You are not a waterman?"
