58673_ How many heartbeats in a life- time-- and how many left to him now?_ He whimpered and writhed, beginning to lose all hope.

62996Are n''t women supposed to faint at things like this?

30963A... a phony, fair sir?
30963A... a time fink? 30963 All right then-- how_ do_ we get out of here?"
30963And... and will ye take Easy Money to this land whereof ye speak, Sir Thomas?
30963But how did you know--"That it was there? 30963 But why a shot, Tom?
30963Do n''t you have any friends or relatives you can stay with?
30963Forgive you for what? 30963 Hand me my spear, will you, Rowena?"
30963He''s a potential customer, but we do n''t want to let the cat out of the bag yet, do we? 30963 He... he left ye for dead, fair sir?"
30963How did that come about?
30963How is mammakin''s little man now?
30963I take it that this puts your hands in jeopardy all over again-- right?
30963I wot not what--"Why do n''t you use''I''instead of''she''when you refer to yourself directly?
30963I''m onto you-- don''t you see? 30963 Is there room for it to pass?"
30963Knock it off? 30963 Let''s be on our way, shall we?"
30963Meanwhile, get on with your autobiography-- only for Pete''s sake, cut it short, will you?
30963Meanwhile, get on with your autobiography-- only for Pete''s sake, cut it short, will you?
30963Now do you know me?
30963Perfidion?
30963Rowena?
30963Scheherazade, Sir Thomas? 30963 Suppose, tomorrow afternoon at this time, I were to come in here and set it down on this desk here?
30963Tell me,Mallory said,"how did this Round Table business begin?
30963Tell me,he said, at length,"were n''t you afraid to come back through that passage alone?
30963The... the masquerade, fair knight?
30963Then you''re not interested in fencing the Holy Grail?
30963This gentlewoman you speak of-- would she by any chance be you?
30963This shield you''ve finally got around to mentioning-- is it the same one you set out to tell me about?
30963Thy... thy strength has returned?
30963Unusual workmanship, would n''t you say?
30963Wh... whence came the sound, fair knight?
30963What did he do that was so marvelous?
30963Where did you find it?
30963Where is it?
30963Where was this taken, Tom?
30963Where''s the Sangraal?
30963Whereabouts may I find oats that I may feed thy horse, fair knight?
30963Why could n''t you step on them?
30963Ye wit naught of the tale of the white shield ye bear, fair sir? 30963 Ye... ye ween not that it could have been the fiend prowling?"
30963You chose a tube at random?
30963You concede that it is the Grail then?
30963You_ dropped_ it?
30963And so--""A great_ what_?"
30963And then,"Have ye ate any meat late?"
30963And then,"How long is the tunnel anyway?"
30963But get to the point, will you?"
30963But how had he known when and where to essay the lift?
30963Could she read?
30963Had his name gone down in history by any chance?
30963He had been Queen Guinevere''s paramour, had n''t he?
30963He had lain with the fair Elaine, had n''t he?
30963Here, then, was the crossroads, the real moment of truth: was he destined to succeed, or was n''t he?
30963How many Kennedees could you get for it?"
30963How much could you get for it?"
30963I daresay you''ve already pinpointed the key place- time?"
30963I''ve got a golp date with Rowley of Puriproducts, so why do n''t you join us, Tom?
30963Is mammakin''s little man''s ear all right now?"
30963Know ye naught of the customs of the land?"
30963More specifically, how had he found out when and where to essay the lift on such short notice?
30963Now, said King Evelake, where shall I put this shield, that this worthy knight may have it?
30963Oh, fair knight, wherefore did ye not say?"
30963Or were the gentlewomen of her day and age really as high- minded and as feathered- brained as she would have him believe?
30963Or, better yet, how did the Grail business begin?
30963Then came Bors to the maid and said: How seemeth it to you of this knight ye be delivered at this time?
30963Then came Bors to the maid and said: How seemeth it to you of this knight ye be delivered at this time?
30963Then,"What might be thy true name, sir knight?"
30963This time, Mallory blinked,"Meat?"
30963Was it still the same night, or had he been unconscious for almost twenty- four hours?
30963Was she trying to pull his leg?
30963Was_ he_ the Sir Thomas Malory who had compiled and translated and written_ Le Morte d''Arthur_?
30963Was_ he_ the Sir Thomas Malory with estates in Northampshire and Warwickshire?
30963Were n''t you afraid the fiend would get you?"
30963What comes after''F''?"
30963What comes after''F''?"
30963What did Sir Galahad have that he, Mallory, lacked?
30963What do you want me to do?"
30963What in the world was he going to do about her?
30963What knight was he that had you in the forest?
30963What knight was he that had you in the forest?
30963What will ye with me?
30963When--""But if she''s you, why do n''t you use the first person singular instead of the third?"
30963Where, then, had he gone astray?
30963Who was he supposed to be?
30963Why did n''t you lift it then and there?"
30963Why did n''t you lift it?"
30963Why should it matter to him what became of her?
30963Will you marry me?"
30963Would you get it for me?"
436A week?
436Anarchists?
436And are these, also, electrical in their construction?
436And how about the next three gifts?
436Are these patented?
436Are you ill, Robert?
436Are you sure this will work?
436But electricity is a good thing, you know, and-- and--"Well?
436But how''d ye make out to climb the bluff?
436But suppose,said Rob,"that something important should happen while I''m asleep, or not looking at the box?"
436But what of him?
436But why do you call them foolish experiences?
436But, tell me, can you trust your chief of police?
436Could n''t the tablets be chemically analyzed, and the secret discovered?
436Do you live at Port Orford?
436Dollar Americaine?
436Fine view from here, ai n''t it?
436Have you a rope?
436How are you going?
436How came you here?
436How many dollars is that?
436How much are you worth?
436How much do you charge a day?
436I know that,answered the boy, trembling,"but WHY are you here?"
436In time for what?
436Is this President Loubet?
436It was very kind of you,said Edward;"but how did you gain admittance?"
436It''s a fine idea,said the boy;"who discovered it?"
436Kill me dog, will ye-- eh?
436Look here, old fellow; do you want to die?
436Personally?
436Poison? 436 Then who are you?"
436This is your invention?
436Well, s''pose we should?
436Were you there?
436Wh-- wh-- what are you g-- g-- going to do?
436Whar''n thunder''d ye come from?
436What are those?
436What are you trying to do, anyhow?
436What are your rates by the day?
436What desire have you?
436What did you say?
436What did you see?
436What do you call that?
436What is it?
436What is?
436What matters a name? 436 What name, please?"
436What people?
436What right has one person to fly through the air while all his fellow- creatures crawl over the earth''s surface? 436 What right have you to capture vibrations that radiate from private and secret actions and discover them to others who have no business to know them?
436What shall we do?
436What will you give me first?
436What you make do?
436What''s that?
436Where are we?
436Where can I purchase one?
436Where have you been all day, Robert?
436Where is his residence?
436Where is she, Nell?
436Where to?
436Where''s President Loubet?
436Where''s your balloon?
436Will you remain here while I send for my minister of police? 436 Yes; they''ve worked up a rather pretty plot, have n''t they?"
436You are satisfied, then?
436After attentively regarding the boy for a time he said, in broken English:"But, M''sieur, how can you fly wizout ze-- ze machine?
436And how do you treat these marvelous gifts?
436And who knows what benefits to humanity may result?
436And why should I be cut off from all the rest of the world because you have given me this confounded traveling machine?
436But how am I to get away from this beastly island?
436But what do you say to the proposition?"
436Do you understand?"
436Finally he leaned back in his chair and asked:"Can you reproduce this scene again?"
436Finally one fat and somewhat aged native, who seemed to be a chief, came close to Rob and said, in broken English:"How get here?"
436Have you ze luggage?"
436How white man come?"
436Is that a center of advanced scientific thought?
436Nice thing for a decent person to own, is n''t it?
436Rob approached him and asked:"Where''s the king to- day?"
436So where''s the harm?
436Tell me, what holds you to the Earth, and makes a stone fall to the ground?"
436That seems reasonable, does n''t it?"
436The Unhappy Fate of the Demon Who Knows?
436Their faces fell at this, but one of them said:"Why could n''t we swing ourselves over your shoulders with a rope?
436These things are quite improbable, to be sure; but are they impossible?
436This would be a fine world if every body could peep into every one else''s affairs, would n''t it?
436We have all been dreadfully worried about you, and mother--""Well, what about mother?"
436Which will it be-- sharks or silence?"
436Who knows?
436Why did you not take your marvels to New York or Chicago; or, if you wished to cross the ocean, to Paris or Vienna?"
436Why did you waste them upon barbarians?"
436Why does n''t the Demon get up a conversation machine that will speak all languages?"
436Why should n''t he spend his summer vacation in pursuit of useful knowledge instead of romping around like ordinary boys?"
436Will you please wear these spectacles for a few moments?"
436You''re the Demon of Electricity, are n''t you?"
436exclaimed the Demon, with a faint sneer;"what does he know?"
436they cried;"are you, too, shipwrecked?"
45347A week?
45347Anarchists?
45347And are these, also, electrical in their construction?
45347And how about the next three gifts?

45347What do you call that?
45347What is it?
45347What is?
45347What matters a name? 45347 What name, please?"
45347What people?
45347What right has one person to fly through the air while all his fellow- creatures crawl over the earth''s surface? 45347 What right have you to capture vibrations that radiate from private and secret actions and discover them to others who have no business to know them?
45347What shall we do?
45347What will you give me first?
45347What you make do?
45347What''s that?
45347Where are we?
45347Where can I purchase one?
45347Where have you been all day, Robert?
45347Where is his residence?
45347Where is she, Nell?
45347Where to?
45347Where''s President Loubet?
45347Where''s your balloon?
45347Will you remain here while I send for my minister of police? 45347 Yes; they''ve worked up a rather pretty plot, have n''t they?"
45347You are satisfied, then?
45347After attentively regarding the boy for a time he said, in broken English:"But, M''sieur, how can you fly wizout ze-- ze machine?
45347And how do you treat these marvelous gifts?
45347And who knows what benefits to humanity may result?
45347And why should I be cut off from all the rest of the world because you have given me this confounded traveling machine?
45347But how am I to get away from this beastly island?
45347But what do you say to the proposition?"
45347Do you understand?"
45347Finally he leaned back in his chair and asked:"Can you reproduce this scene again?"
45347Finally one fat and somewhat aged native, who seemed to be a chief, came close to Rob and said, in broken English:"How get here?"
45347Have you ze luggage?"
45347How white man come?"
45347Is that a center of advanced scientific thought?
45347Nice thing for a decent person to own, is n''t it?
45347Rob approached him and asked:"Where''s the king to- day?"
45347So he said rather anxiously to the chief:"Look here, old fellow; do you want to die?"
45347So where''s the harm?
45347Tell me, what holds you to the Earth, and makes a stone fall to the ground?"
45347That seems reasonable, does n''t it?"
45347Their faces fell at this, but one of them said:"Why could n''t we swing ourselves over your shoulders with a rope?
45347These things are quite improbable, to be sure; but are they impossible?
45347This would be a fine world if every body could peep into every one else''s affairs, would n''t it?
45347We have all been dreadfully worried about you, and mother--""Well, what about mother?"
45347When he recovered himself the Demon had disappeared--_Tailpiece_ 245[ Illustration] WHO KNOWS?
45347Which will it be-- sharks or silence?"
45347Who knows?
45347Why did you not take your marvels to New York or Chicago; or, if you wished to cross the ocean, to Paris or Vienna?"
45347Why did you waste them upon barbarians?"
45347Why does n''t the Demon get up a conversation machine that will speak all languages?"
45347Why should n''t he spend his summer vacation in pursuit of useful knowledge instead of romping around like ordinary boys?"
45347Will you please wear these spectacles for a few moments?"
45347You''re the Demon of Electricity, are n''t you?"
45347exclaimed the Demon, with a faint sneer;"what does he know?"
45347they cried;"are you, too, shipwrecked?"
45169Always say to the dip who says he wants to square it; Well, what''s your other graft?
45169And so you married him?
45169Any good Molls now? 45169 Are you hurt?"
45169Billy,I continued,"how long have you been in stir?"
45169Billy,I proceeded,"what would you do if you were on the outside and she was in prison for six years?"
45169By whom?
45169Do n''t you remember Jimmy the Kid, ten years ago, in the sixth?
45169Do you believe in hell?
45169Doctor,I continued,"do you believe that a man can be a respectable physician and still be insane?"
45169Had n''t I earned it?
45169How is graft?
45169How is it, Bob,I said to him,"that you are not so good as you were?"
45169How is it,I said,"that I am not sent back to stir?"
45169How was it?
45169How''s graft, Mike?
45169In the city?
45169Is it something good?
45169Jim Lennon?
45169Jimmy, is it true, that you are pipes( crazy)? 45169 Lucy?"
45169Mamie?
45169Surely,I remarked,"you do n''t believe half what insane men tell you, do you?
45169Swedish Emmy?
45169Well?
45169What are you up to?
45169What are you working at?
45169What are_ you_ doing, Joe?
45169What do you mean?
45169What do you mean?
45169What makes you look so glum?
45169What was the rap, Mike?
45169What''s in it?
45169Where have you been?
45169Who''s dead?
45169Why do n''t we like the books we liked when we were boys? 45169 Why do n''t you give up the booze?"
45169Why would a woman take to him( a sober, respectable man but lacking in temperament) unless she wanted a good home?
45169You are not positive, are you?
45169You still love me?
45169You want to know what put me on the bum?
45169''Ow to''Ell am I better off here?
45169After a short talk, I said:"Where''s Sheenie Annie?"
45169Because I do n''t wear a Piccadilly collar?"
45169But as bad luck would have it, a negro coachman, standing in the street by the pavement, got next, and said to me,"What are you doing there?"
45169But how about young Hope''s wrecked life?
45169But the big lunatic changed his note, smiled and said:"Say, Charley, have you got any marbles?"
45169But what have I done?
45169But where was I to find a friend?
45169But who would take it?
45169Can I trust you with them?
45169Can you blame the judge?
45169Did n''t you get anything?"
45169Did you ever wear a collar and tie in the old country?"
45169Do you know the weak spots of this dump?"
45169Does not everyone know that the men who do society the greatest injury have never done time; in fact, may never have broken any laws?
45169Does that huzzy look anything like me?"
45169Have you given up smoking, too?"
45169He began to abuse the States, and I said:"You duffer, did you ever see such pretty girls as here?
45169He had heard what I said and he joined in:"You know why I got the tenth of a century?
45169He said:"How do you know?"
45169He turned to the ward doctor and asked:"What is this mans condition?"
45169How could I bear it?
45169How could I send it to them, for the keeper was not"next"to the Underground?
45169How in the name of common sense, then, could Sterling, or I, or any other grafter expect otherwise than to be traduced?
45169How is it I never got a long bit?"
45169Hyde_?"
45169I asked,"attendants or patients?"
45169I grabbed her by the arm and exclaimed:"Who is it that is circulating these d---- stories about me?"
45169I had just struck a match, when I heard a female voice say,"What are you doing there?"
45169I had known him in the old days, and he asked:"What are you doing?"
45169I had made a break, for he said, quickly:"Why?
45169I heard a patient about to be beaten by four attendants cry out:"My God, you wo n''t murder me?"
45169I once met Kate, one of them, and said, with a smile:"Did you hear about the Kid''s latest?
45169I replied to her:"Madam, why do you lace tight and indulge in social dissipation even after you know it is bad for the health?
45169I told him she was still waiting, and he said:"Why does n''t she visit me then?"
45169I told them a little about New York State penitentiaries, and then Ted said to Denver Red:"What do you think of the big fellow?"
45169I would board a car with a couple of newspapers, would say,"News, boss?"
45169If I ai nt as prosperous as I was once, why not dream I''m a millionaire?"
45169If a man is religious, why should he not drop it on Jesus?
45169In the first place, there is very little chance of a come- back, for who will believe men who have ever been shut up in an insane asylum?
45169In the name of humanity and science what can society expect from a man who has spent a number of years in such surroundings?
45169Indeed, do you think that well- known guns could graft with impunity unless they had some one right?
45169Indeed, why should n''t these attendants be brutal?
45169Is it because you have no imagination?
45169Is it the contrast between Good and Evil, or is it because the ne''er- do- well has a stronger character and more magnetic force?
45169Is n''t it likely that if a man had a large income he would never go to prison?
45169It is not of course common, to find a thief who is an honest man; but is there very often an honest man anywhere, in the world of graft or out of it?
45169It was my pride to buy them things-- clothes, pins, and to take them on excursions; for was I not a rising"gun,"with money in my pocket?
45169Johnny grew very pale as Mamie said the last words; and when she stopped speaking, he said quietly:"And you did it?"
45169Like the New York police he was hot after the stuff, but who can blame him?
45169Mack sent for F----''s superior, the captain, and the following dialogue took place:_ Captain_: What do you want?
45169My only excuse to myself was: Human nature is weak, ai n''t it?
45169No?
45169One day he said to me,"Why do n''t you get your change outside?
45169One day, George, the roustabout, said to me:"Kid, do you want to go row- boating with us?"
45169One would ask,"Who''s dead?"
45169Patsy noticed I was quiet and unusually gloomy, and asked:"What''s the matter?
45169Pointing to her daughters she continued:"What must my children think of such an impersonation?
45169She might have been fined, and why should n''t I have the money, rather than the magistrate?
45169Soon after I was transferred from Sing Sing to Auburn, a friend came to me and said:"Jimmy, are you on either of the shoe- shop galleries?
45169That nearly knocked F---- down, but he and Mack took a car, and he said to the latter:"In the name of everything how did you hypnotize the old man?"
45169The most progressive people in her set believed in"getting on"in any way, and how could Mamie be expected to form a social morality for herself?
45169The public may say I was surely an incorrigible and ought to have been shut up anyway for safe keeping, but are they right if they say so?
45169Then I turned to the Commissioner and said:"Do you know what constitutes a cure in this place and in Matteawan?"
45169Then, turning to me, Mull asked:"Jim, do n''t you think that if everything was square and on the level we''d stand a better chance?"
45169There is a big difference between that and twenty, ai nt it?"
45169They were not able to show me anything that was worth while; they could not deliver the goods, so what was the use of talking?
45169This was too much for Mickey, who said:"Why do n''t you talk United States and not be springing whole leaves out of a dictionary?"
45169Was I insane?
45169Was Voltaire delusional?
45169Was it a combination of these things?
45169Was it a premonition?
45169Was it my reading of the great authors, and my becoming acquainted with the beautiful thoughts of the great men of the world?
45169Was it sympathy?
45169Was it the confinement in a mad- house, where I daily saw old pals of mine become drivelling idiots?
45169Was it the terrible years I spent in prison?
45169What boy with an ounce of thick blood in his body could refuse to go with a girl to the Island?
45169What chance has the convict, confined in a dark cell for years, to keep his senses?
45169What is more entertaining than a little scandal, especially when it does n''t hit home?
45169What is that, after all, but the realization that your way of life is ruining you even to the very foundation of your nature?
45169What is the matter with him?
45169What the---- did you come here for?
45169What was it?
45169What woman could help liking Steerforth?
45169When old friends and relatives look at me askance I say to myself:"How can I prove to them that I am not the same as I was in the past?"
45169Who could blame her?
45169Who could entirely resist the pleadings of a pretty woman with large black eyes?
45169Who would think that an Isaacs would supersede a Finnigan?
45169Why did n''t he bite me?
45169Why did n''t you stop off at Buffalo?"
45169Why did they send me to the mad- house?
45169Why do n''t you go to sea?"
45169Why do n''t you have him arrested for bigamy?"
45169Why do n''t you practice what you spout?
45169Why object to the girl of sixteen reading such books and not to the woman of thirty- five?
45169Why was I put in the Pipe House?
45169Why, therefore, is not life far stronger than a narcotic?"
45169Will you mind them for me, until things quiet down?"
45169Wo n''t we, dear?"
45169_ Au Revoir._''You ask me what became of my sister- in- law?
45169_ Captain_: How long would it take you to get it?
45169_ Captain_: Was I ever known to go back on my word?
45169_ Mack_: It''s a sure turn- out?
45169_ Mickey_:"Ah, wat''s the matter wid Tammany?
45169_ Mickey_:"I did n''t, eh?
45169_ Mull_:"How many times, Mickey, have you been in stir?"
45169and the answer was,"Why not?
45169and then he''d put the question he had asked a hundred times before:"Who med( made) you?"
45169he asked,"better than the copper?"
45169the Big One said,"that you happened to get your fingers into that man''s pocket?"
45452Ai n''t that the dizziest idear any sane guy ever had?
45452An''spoil all the fun?
45452And Shorty and Sixshooter Pete?
45452And another thing-- where did you get that roll of money which I saw you counting? 45452 And how do you aim to round up the herd without more riders?
45452And no private bath?
45452And where is the animal?
45452And where was he last night? 45452 And will you brand them?"
45452And will you have Marie do the cooking?
45452Are n''t you afraid someone might rob you?
45452Are n''t you forgetting that the sixteenth of the month is n''t far away?
45452Are the dudes having a good time?
45452Are we supposed to run a milk wagon too?
45452Are you a government man?
45452Are you all right, Baby?
45452Are you bad hurt?
45452Are you going for a ride?
45452Are you hurt?
45452Are you quite certain this beast is n''t an outlaw?
45452Are you with me or ai n''t you?
45452Barrows has gone for good?
45452Barrows is n''t your real name, is it?
45452But how? 45452 But what could he be doing down there?"
45452Ca n''t we raise even a few hundred dollars? 45452 Can it be that she''s jealous because I''ll compete against her in the riding contest?"
45452Dad left Rainbow Ranch to me, did n''t he?
45452Did he buy that steer with his own money or with mine?
45452Did n''t I just sell your foreman one of my best steers?
45452Did n''t recognize the hoss?
45452Did she want to see me?
45452Did we lose many animals in the stampede?
45452Did you get a look at him?
45452Did you see Jim?
45452Did you think that he was the person who robbed me at Eagle Pass?
45452Do I look like a criminal?
45452Do n''t you reckon Catapult''s tracks on the trail will show?
45452Do you know what I believe?
45452Do you know where they went?
45452Do you really believe I''d have any chance to win that prize for bronco riding?
45452Does n''t your father like you to come here?
45452Does old Charlie Trench still rim his jitney?
45452Everything all right?
45452First, why did you stampede my herd?
45452Going into the business strong?
45452Has Blakeman returned yet?
45452Have I asked you to do that, Lefty?
45452Have you notified the sheriff?
45452Have you seen Blakeman?
45452Have you talked with the banker lately?
45452He knew you were carrying the prize money home with you, did n''t he?
45452Hey, what''s that?
45452How did they get away?
45452How did you come out last night after we parted company?
45452How did you get here?
45452How did you happen to be over this way yourself?
45452How do you know?
45452How do you mean?
45452How does the weather look to you, Lefty?
45452How far are we from the ranch?
45452How is Enid?
45452How much is your bank loan?
45452How should I know?
45452How we goin''to get gunnysacks on Catapult? 45452 How would I get out again?"
45452I suppose you''ll not even discharge him for this?
45452I take it you''re discharging Lefty?
45452I wonder what business Pop has with my foreman?
45452I wonder what he does keep inside?
45452If Blakeman does n''t have enough money to pay salaries, how could he buy a steer?
45452In these wet clothes? 45452 Is it yours?"
45452Is n''t Red Farnham there?
45452Is there any danger of a stampede?
45452It''s what?
45452Jim Barrows, may I ask what you are doing?
45452Jim Barrows?
45452Just what are you trying to suggest?
45452Let''s see, how long has it been?
45452May I use your telephone?
45452Meanin''who?
45452Mr. Blakeman, why is Pop Bradshaw taking my horse?
45452My man,he said, addressing Lefty in a condescending tone,"will you be good enough to show me to my room?"
45452My neighbor?
45452No bones busted?
45452Now what are we going to do?
45452Now what are we going to do?
45452Now what''s the matter with him?
45452Oh, Cecil, are you all right?
45452Oh, dear, why did we ever come on this horrible trip?
45452Oh, it''s you, is it?
45452Oh, why did I have to cripple myself?
45452Only one room?
45452Route?
45452Seriously though, Miss Carl, you''re not thinking of carrying that money on your person?
45452So they educated you, did they, Connie?
45452Someone meetin''you, Miss?
45452Supposing another steer should be substituted for Catapult?
45452That''s what Blakeman tried to tell me----"Oh, so you''ve been listening to him?
45452The bank?
45452The foreman?
45452Then why are you using a name other than your own?
45452Then why ca n''t we do the same?
45452Then you did receive my telegram?
45452Then you''ll forgive Pop and me?
45452Then you''re not angry?
45452To question him? 45452 Up that mountain?
45452Walk?
45452Was it about me, Lefty?
45452Was n''t that Enid Bradshaw?
45452We''ll be there to see it, wo n''t we, Alkali?
45452Well, how did the guests like the cliff dwellings?
45452Well?
45452Well?
45452What am I to do now?
45452What are you doing up in our country?
45452What are you driving at anyway, Charlie? 45452 What are you planning to do with the gunnysacks?"
45452What business can they be having together?
45452What did he say to you, Lefty?
45452What did he say?
45452What did you call me?
45452What do you know about Jim Barrows?
45452What do you mean, Enid?
45452What do you mean?
45452What do you think the man has done?
45452What doin''?
45452What happened to you, Miss Connie?
45452What is the bad news, Lefty?
45452What is your name?
45452What made you think of getting a job at Rainbow Ranch?
45452What money?
45452What reason would he have for pretending that he was ill?
45452What sort of changes?
45452What was the idea of building their homes up under the lip of the cliff?
45452What will happen to him?
45452What will you do with so much money?
45452What''s he doing here?
45452What''s the big idea anyway?
45452What''s the matter, old boy?
45452What''s this new job?
45452What''s wrong?
45452What?
45452When do I start work?
45452Where are our horses?
45452Where did you find it?
45452Where is your horse?
45452Where''s Connie?
45452Where?
45452Who could have done it, Lefty?
45452Who did that?
45452Who do you think was hiding in those bushes?
45452Who is it?
45452Who is this stranger?
45452Who is your prospect?
45452Who said a thing like that?
45452Who''s there?
45452Why ca n''t I? 45452 Why did I stampede your herd?"
45452Why did he run when you called?
45452Why did n''t Blakeman write me about these changes?
45452Why did n''t you warn me the horse was vicious?
45452Why do n''t you ask Jim Barrows?
45452Why do n''t you learn to ride?
45452Why not?
45452Why should I protect you? 45452 Why should Jim be carrying a handkerchief marked like this unless he''s passing under an assumed name?"
45452Why were you trying to open his chest?
45452Why, is anything the matter, Charlie?
45452Why, where is the ladder?
45452Will the rock really echo?
45452Will you be out of the rodeo?
45452Will you be staying on?
45452Wonder what Jim was doing around there?
45452You bought Silvertail?
45452You do n''t really have any evidence against him?
45452You do n''t trust the banker?
45452You jumped from this cliff?
45452You were n''t sick at all that day I found you on the trail?
45452You''re giving up the pursuit, Connie?
45452You''ve really given a lot of thought to this dude ranch business, have n''t you?
45452Your bones sort of told you?
45452Your father discovered them years ago, did n''t he?
45452About his personal affairs?"
45452About how far down is the lake?"
45452After all, had not Blakeman gone without his salary for many months in an effort to stave off financial ruin?
45452After all, why should I be offended?
45452As the owner wrapped up the package, he remarked casually:"Well, so you''re going into the dude business?"
45452Beautiful sunrise, is n''t it?"
45452Blakeman here, I suppose?"
45452Blakeman?"
45452Boy, oh boy, will that steer ruin him?"
45452But who was he?
45452But why has Blakeman done all these things to me?"
45452But why would he be investigating the cliff dwellings?
45452By the way, where did you work before you came to the Rainbow, Jim?"
45452CHAPTER XVII A Night Prowler"Who was that fellow?"
45452Can you stand some more bad news, Connie?"
45452Did you see him leave?"
45452Do n''t you find it more on the order of a big tourist hotel?"
45452Do you remember tellin''anyone you were cashin''the check?"
45452First he fired Pete and Shorty----""He discharged them?"
45452How about taking Doris and me as your first paying guests?"
45452How will you feed the men?"
45452I suppose you''ve heard about my idea to turn this place into a dude ranch?"
45452I wonder if perhaps he has n''t been in trouble sometime?"
45452Ignoring the thrust, the cowboy asked quickly:"Where did you find the hosses, Jim?"
45452Is n''t this my ranch?"
45452Is that what you mean, Lefty?"
45452Just have one of your men trundle the steer back to the Circle R.""Did you just now take the animal to the ranch, Nate?"
45452Just how do you think we''ll be able to feed and entertain a house full of guests when we ca n''t even pay our regular help?"
45452Perhaps you''ve heard of Silverhorn Ranch?"
45452Say, do you live near here?"
45452The foreman hesitated, and then asked with an abrupt change of tone:"Have you been thinking over what I said the other day about selling the ranch?"
45452Then he said in a lowered tone:"I do n''t suppose it ever occurred to you to question Jim Barrows?"
45452Was it possible that he was living in one of the kivas, hiding there in fear that the law would overtake him?
45452What do you think is the best for us to do?"
45452What do you think of Jim, Lefty?"
45452What do you think of the idea?"
45452What is it this time?
45452When is it coming, Lefty?"
45452Where have you got that steer now?"
45452Why ca n''t we ride?"
45452Why did n''t he take the party to the cliffs as he was supposed to do?"
45452Why did you strike him?
45452Will you give it up or shall I take it?"
45452Would you lend it to me for a few weeks?"
45452Would you like to go down into it?"
45452You did n''t pitch Cecil in the lake again?"
45452You did n''t really sell Blakeman a steer?"
45452You did n''t see anyone on the trail?"
45452You did n''t walk all the way here?"
45452You knew it was dirty before you took the money, did n''t you?"
45452You understand now why I was trying to break into his chest?"
45452You''re a stranger around these parts, are n''t you?"
21842A mystery is there now, Carl? 21842 According to the law anybody is allowed to shoot dogs caught in the act of running deer, especially in the summer time; is n''t that right, Tom?"
21842All we wanted to do was to ask you if you had seen that paper? 21842 Along-- where to, may I ask?"
21842And did you see the tramps in camp cleaning things out then?
21842And why would hoboes want that to happen?
21842And you allowed them to go on past, you mean, sir?
21842And you kind of had an idea the paper might have blown out through that open window, was that it?
21842And you say the receipt disappeared from the table in your sitting room, without anybody knowing what became of it?
21842Anything gone wrong here Billy?
21842Anything more about that stolen paper?
21842Are we going to stand by and see that sport go on, boys?
21842Are you satisfied to accept Mr. Perkins''apology, boys, in the same spirit in which it is given?
21842Because his name was signed at the bottom, you mean, Tom?
21842But Tom, Amasa Culpepper was n''t in our house that morning?
21842But Tom, do you think we could get some supplies from him?
21842But do we have to carry them along with us like that?
21842But he let Dock stay in the house, you say?
21842But how about that fine big tree yonder, could n''t we take shelter under that?
21842But how are we going to climb up in the tree?
21842But how can you get along, I want to know?
21842But if it was the fault of the lawyer''s clerk why should n''t he be held responsible for the loss? 21842 But tell me how you escaped?"
21842But what are we going to do about this thing?
21842But what can we do for shelter?
21842But what would a feller like me want with your old paper?
21842But what would the boy want to do with that paper?
21842But with a family of children to bring up how are you going to live from now on, when before this happened you had barely enough? 21842 But you still limp, I notice, sir,"remarked Tom;"are you sure you can make it to- day?
21842But you wo n''t think of backing down about going on this grand hike over Big Bear Mountain, I hope?
21842But you would not be so cruel as to deprive my children of their bread simply because of a little technicality, sir? 21842 But you_ did_ leave him alone there, did n''t you?"
21842Ca n''t you get us out of here, fellers?
21842Can you see if_ he''s_ in there, Tom?
21842Cooled''em off, eh?
21842Did Mrs. Oskamp see me take anything?
21842Did n''t I see that dog take hold of you by the leg, Felix, at the time you struck him so hard on the head with your club?
21842Do I? 21842 Do n''t you think that it was a little careless, Carl, in your mother, to do that?"
21842Do you mean some rowdies tried to make trouble for you?
21842Do you mean there''s any chance for us to keep going, after our things have been taken in this way?
21842Do you mean try to find out what the sum is he asked Amasa to pay him?
21842Do you suppose Mr. Henderson has brought that stout rope along with the idea that it may be needed to pull any one out of the mud?
21842Do you think Mr. Culpepper could have hired Dock to_ steal_ the paper?
21842Does Amasa still drop in to call now and then?
21842First of all do you remember what that receipt made out by Mr. Culpepper looked like, Carl?
21842Going into the real- estate business, are you, Billy?
21842Have we passed that dangerous place you were telling us about, sir?
21842How about allowing dogs to roam the woods up here, Tom; is n''t it against the law in this State nowadays?
21842How about others who are lazy, and always wanting to put things off to another day? 21842 How about that, Josh; would n''t you call a bog a swamp, too?"
21842How did you get out?
21842How is everything now, Carl?
21842How long ago was it that the raid took place, Billy?
21842How long was it between the time your mother laid the paper on the table and the moment she missed it?
21842How''d I be able to help Mrs. Oskamp out, tell me? 21842 How, sir?"
21842I did n''t have any chance to ask you about the big oak?
21842I judge from what you say, sir, that you have had the misfortune to lose some of your poultry lately? 21842 I never heard you say anything about it before, Tom?"
21842I wonder how deep that mud is anyhow?
21842I wonder what he''s meaning to do?
21842I wonder what those other fellows are doing about now?
21842Is it then so dangerous?
21842Is n''t that our chum, Billy, waving his hands to us?
21842Is that what they do?
21842It''s all over for to- night then?
21842Just why did you frown on the scout movement, may I ask, sir?
21842Listen to it roaring, up on the mountain?
21842Listen to the row up there, will you?
21842Look over yonder between those bushes, sir; does n''t that seem to be about the kind of place you''re after?
21842Me? 21842 Meaning the fact that Dock Phillips is somewhere up there on the mountain; that''s what you''ve got in your mind, is n''t it, Carl?"
21842Meaning you believe you know who the fellows were?
21842Mr. Henderson do you expect to remain in town over night?
21842No one sick over at your house, is there?
21842Nothing can be done, I suppose, Carl?
21842Oh is that so?
21842Oh, am I?
21842Oh, is there any chance of a terrible storm dropping down on us, do you think?
21842Oh, why did n''t ye come last June? 21842 Say, did you feel anything then?"
21842Shall we get started right away, Tom?
21842She''s sure of that, is she?
21842So she laid it on the table, did she?
21842Stop and think-- who would like nothing better than to put us in a hole? 21842 Tell me what it is then; and can we start in to try it right away?"
21842Tell me, am I seein''things Bill Scruggs? 21842 That grocer''s boy is a fellow by the name of Dock Phillips, is n''t he?"
21842That was why I saw a light over in your room late last night, was it?
21842That would be apt to make him come to time with a jump, would n''t it?
21842That''s all true enough, Tom, but tell me what you mean by saying that in the way you did? 21842 The next thing for us to see about is how under the sun will we cook all these delicious bass Billy''s got ready?"
21842Then Mr. Witherspoon is willing to organize the Lenox Troop of Boy Scouts, is he, Tom?
21842Then it was struck by that terrible bolt, was it?
21842Then it''s different with a scout, is it, sir?
21842Then what else has cropped up to bother you, Carl?
21842Then you have lost one, have you sir?
21842Then you must know Ezra Brush, for he was born in the farm house he occupies to this day?
21842Tom, would it be right for me to have another talk with Dock, and make him an offer?
21842Tom, would it pay us to follow them right now?
21842Tom, you''ve studied your chart good and hard, let''s hope,commented Josh;"so we wo n''t run any chance of going past the place without knowing it?"
21842Two minutes would be plenty of time, would n''t it, Tom?
21842Was it about that tenement house she owns, and the rents from which comes part of her income?
21842We could n''t do anything, Tom, now our paper''s gone off on the current?
21842We ought to make that little lake by the afternoon, ought n''t we, Tom?
21842We wo n''t try to carry any tent, will we, Tom?
21842We''ll keep you only a few minutes at the most, Dock,continued Tom;"you take the orders for groceries for the store, do n''t you?"
21842Well, that was a queer happening, was n''t it?
21842What another irate farmer?
21842What d''ye think of that, fellows?
21842What did you do to them?
21842What did you do?
21842What did you hear?
21842What do you mean by saying that?
21842What has that got to do with your scheme?
21842What if they have gotten lost in that awful mud bog, and right now are stuck fast there, whooping for help?
21842What is it, Josh?
21842What is it, then?
21842What kind of a paper was it?
21842What luck, Tom?
21842What makes you think that, Josh?
21842What sort of trouble do you mean, George?
21842What will she do when you''re away with the rest of us on that ten day hike over Big Bear Mountain?
21842What would we have done without any skillet at all, Tom?
21842What''s gone wrong, Carl?
21842What''s happened?
21842What''s that you are saying?
21842What''s that?
21842What''s the matter with taking a log and straddling the same?
21842What''s this here?
21842What''s this you''re a- sayin'', Tom Chesney? 21842 What''s this you''re talking about?"
21842What, me? 21842 What, that old miser pay any real money out?
21842Whatever have the scouts been doing this time to raise trouble? 21842 When will you get busy on that copy, Carl?"
21842Where are you going, Tom?
21842Who would have dreamed such a blast could sweep down and take that paper off? 21842 Why do you believe that?"
21842Why should they bother when it was seven against one, Tom?
21842Why should we do that?
21842Why should we take water when we laid our plans first?
21842Why, how could that be?
21842Why, that lot of boys seems to be having a snowball fight, do n''t they? 21842 Wo n''t you tie up your dogs, Mr. Brush, and come and join us here before the fire?"
21842Would n''t it be a great thing if we did happen on a real bear while we were out on this hike?
21842Yes, but why pick out Big Bear Mountain,Felix wanted to know;"unless they meant to spy on the scouts, and give us all the trouble they could?"
21842Yes, but you have n''t told me what it is?
21842Yes, that''s just what they did state,added Felix;"you''ve got to have things authenticated-- wasn''t that the word the paper used?"
21842Yes, what did they do to you, Billy?
21842You do n''t say, mister?
21842You heard what he said about the meanness of his employer, did n''t you?
21842You mean Dock wants more than Amasa is willing to pay, is that it, Tom?
21842You mean about saying it was a paper that had been lost?
21842You mean we expect to push right up the mountain and begin exploring the country, do n''t you, Tom?
21842You spoke of hunting in the garden and around the outside of the house; why should you do that?
21842You want to know what I think of it, boys?
21842You''re worrying again because nothing has happened as we hoped would be the case, eh, Carl?
21842You''ve lived around here some time, I take it?
21842Anybody know of a pond that''s got a nice green coating of scum on the top?
21842Anybody with hoss sense could put them facts together, could n''t they?
21842Besides, how was I to know they would pay the slightest heed to anything I might say?
21842Besides, they were in no hurry; so what was the use of exerting themselves unduly?
21842Besides, what''d I want with a silly old scrap of paper, tell me?"
21842Brush?"
21842Brush?"
21842Brush?"
21842But what''s that the boys are saying?"
21842CHAPTER VIII SIGNS OF TROUBLE AHEAD"Was it about Dock?"
21842CHAPTER XXIII INTO THE BIG BOG"Is it worth our while to bother with that crowd, Tom?"
21842Carl, and you too Tom; what''s up?"
21842Culpepper?"
21842Do n''t we happen to know that Tony Pollock and his crowd are around here on Big Bear Mountain somewhere?
21842Do those same rules say''procrastination is the thief of time?''"
21842Do we have to start in fishing that early, or else go hungry?"
21842Do you think you could duplicate the receipt, Carl?"
21842Felix,"objected the boy mentioned,"you''re stretching things pretty wide, are n''t you?
21842Get that, fellows?"
21842Had n''t we better try it alone?"
21842Have n''t we hunted high and low for that paper, and wondered where under the sun it could have gone?
21842Horace, are you going to see this grand scheme fall through for lack of just a single name?
21842How do we know but that a glorious chance may come up and that you can win out yet?
21842How do we know but that this raid on our stuff was made just to force us to give up our hike?"
21842How do you happen to know then it was a paper, Dock?"
21842How many are going along on the hike?"
21842How would we feel about it, knowing that we had had the chance given to us to stretch out a helping hand them, and had failed?"
21842I wonder what''s happened now?"
21842Is it the State Militia dropped down on us?
21842Is n''t that hard luck though, Tom?"
21842Is n''t that so, boys?"
21842Is n''t there a way?"
21842Is there a war on?"
21842It''s not a particularly lovely home for any fellow, is it?
21842May I, sir?"
21842Now what you drivin''at anyhow?
21842Now, what makes you look so glum, Josh?"
21842Of course you can show my name at the bottom of a receipt if that is the fact?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Raidin''the farms up this way, are you?
21842That makes seven does n''t it?
21842Then he ended with an air of assumed dignity,"Horace, your country calls you; will it call in vain?"
21842Then would you advise me to try the plan I spoke of?"
21842Want to make me out a thief, do you?
21842What could Mr. Culpepper have to do with the vanishing of that paper?"
21842What do you think of the title, Tom?"
21842What for?
21842What if I did run across the chance to make Dock own up, and got him to give me that precious paper?
21842What if I do take orders; want to leave one with me for a commission, hey?"
21842What must I do if they take a notion to come back and threaten to eat me up?"
21842Which is it going to be?"
21842Why do you ask, Tom?"
21842Why pick me out above every one else for that?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Would it be wrong in me?
21842Would they ever forget that supper?
21842am I?"
21842anything like compounding a felony?"
21842asked Rob;"without getting stuck in the mud ourselves?"
21842do you mean even to signing Mr. Culpepper''s name at the end?"
21842exclaimed Felix"Can it be a muskrat, Tom, do you think, swimming on top of the water?"
21842he cried, when his voice could be heard,"did n''t that sound right from where that magnificent big oak tree stood that I wanted to get under?"
21842is that so, Felix?"
21842listen to that, will you?"
21842questioned Tom;"and agree to hand it over to him just as soon as the stock of the oil well company can be sold, after your mother gets it again?"
21842sneered the man;"but tell me, who''s a- goin''to vouch for you, now?"
21842what d''ye mean by trespassin''on my ground?
21842what''s gone wrong now, Carl?"
23116A doctor?
23116A whole edition, Miss? 23116 A''home''?"
23116A_ real_ hermit?
23116A_ what_?
23116About what?
23116Ai n''t she a noticing child?
23116And air ye all loose from some bat factory? 23116 And how do you know so much?"
23116And is he a hermit for revenue only, too?
23116And our Ruth,drawled Jennie,"is going to prescribe one of her famous cure- alls, is she?"
23116And send her to Briarwood?
23116And somebody unknown stole it?
23116And the man you left in your place? 23116 And the pen?"
23116And what is to be on that new leaf?
23116And who''s the joke on?
23116And_ now_?
23116And_ then_?
23116Are you acquainted with somebody who works here?
23116Are you all game?
23116Are you cold, dear?
23116Are you going to adopt her?
23116Are you trying to get it away from me for less than you offered?
23116As the hornet?
23116At the minister''s?
23116Be you crazy, too? 23116 But Parloe did not leave his team and go down to the summer- house, did he?"
23116But ai n''t it_ so_?
23116But how can one be jolly if one does not feel jolly?
23116But that hermit is n''t quite right in his head, is he?
23116But that poor creature I followed up here, Mr. Paul? 23116 But who?"
23116But why did you come here?
23116But you can fix it, Tom?
23116But you said you liked it?
23116But-- but do n''t you believe me?
23116But-- but how could this old man have stolen your work-- and away back there at the Red Mill? 23116 Can it be possible that your uncle or Ben saw the things here and rescued them just before the storm burst?"
23116Can you start the engine on the reverse, Miss?
23116Could anybody have done it for a joke?
23116Could that fountain pen have been carried away by the windstorm, too?
23116Did n''t you find out last night?
23116Did you ever write a scenario before?
23116Did you live there on the point?
23116Did you look at this?
23116Did you see anybody go down that way?
23116Did you see your ghost through the window here?
23116Do n''t you see it is going to rain? 23116 Do n''t you see that he is playing a part?
23116Do you expect him to return here for you?
23116Do you mean to say this is in the play?
23116Do you really think that man is crazy?
23116Do you suppose the clergyman would take the child?
23116Do you think it will be a real storm?
23116Does he know how your aunt treats you?
23116Does it matter what I believe?
23116Fairy gasoline?
23116Have you any idea who would have taken it?
23116Have you no idea where he went, Ben?
23116How about a chaperon?
23116How are you going to prove what you say is true?
23116How can I do that?
23116How can you, Ruth?
23116How dare you slur your own sex so?
23116How did you come to live there first?
23116How do you feel, Henri? 23116 How long have you lived over there on the point, John?"
23116How many air there of ye, Sissy?
23116How will you do it, Ruth?
23116How''s that, Miss?
23116However, you need not give all your attention to these prize stories, need you? 23116 I can be an old maid and still like the boys, ca n''t I?
23116I may not be a perfect thirty- six----"Is there any doubt of it?
23116I wonder?
23116I''d like to know what you people think you''re doing?
23116I''m alive, ai n''t I?
23116I''m awfully sorry----"Does that help?
23116Including spiders, snakes, beetles and babies, I suppose?
23116Indeed?
23116Indeed?
23116Is auntie letting you read her story, Ruth?
23116Is it the custom to do so when the enemy, he arrive?
23116Is n''t he cute?
23116Is n''t she mean?
23116Is she ill?
23116Is she running away?
23116Is that_ all_ they were?
23116Is there nobody you know here, child, whom you would like to stay with till your father returns?
23116Is this the Alectrion Film Company?
23116Is this the moving picture camp, Mister?
23116Is-- is that the ghost, Jennie?
23116Mr. Hasbrouck? 23116 No?
23116Nor send for you?
23116Not from Captain Cameron?
23116Now, what is it you want me to print in one paper for you?
23116Oh, did you see her?
23116Or do you speak compliments?
23116Or, mebbe_ you_ ai n''t loony, lady?
23116Out o''gasoline, heh? 23116 Prove it?"
23116See him sitting on the rock before the door of his cabin?
23116See that hard strip of beach? 23116 She has put herself into the so- tight corner-- no?"
23116She is a regular Cheerful Grig again, is n''t she?
23116So your name is something- or- other- Fitzmaurice Pike?
23116Some poor, miserable loafer, is he?
23116Stolen?
23116Suppose something happened to you on the road?
23116Suppose something happened to_ us_ here in the auto?
23116Suppose,demanded Ruth quickly,"this thief that has got my manuscript should offer it to some producer?
23116Tell me,she said, while the others examined the curios the hermit had for sale,"what kind of man is this you left in your house?
23116That Whosis?
23116That gold pen, Ruthie? 23116 The new story?
23116Then how in tarnation,demanded the bearded man,"do you explain your wanderin''about these woods in this storm?"
23116Then, which breed of thief stole my scenario, Tom?
23116This is a puzzle, eh?
23116This is to be on the q.t.?
23116To you and Uncle Jabez?
23116Towards Ridgeton? 23116 Want to go back to the port, Miss Ruth?"
23116Want to look at them?
23116Want to read it over?
23116We are stalled until Captain Tom comes back with the gasoline-- is it not?
23116We''d better set up an auction block before the door of the hotel and auction her off to the highest bidder, had n''t we?
23116Well, a thief is almost the meanest person there is in the world, do n''t you think so? 23116 Wha-- what''s the matter, Ruthie?"
23116What are you traveling on?
23116What d''you think it says here?
23116What do you know about such people, Tommy?
23116What do you know about this?
23116What do you know about_ that_?
23116What do you mean by that?
23116What do you mean?
23116What do you suggest?
23116What happened, Colonel?
23116What has gone so wrong?
23116What have you lost?
23116What is it doing outside?
23116What is it, Tom?
23116What is it? 23116 What is it?"
23116What is it?
23116What is it?
23116What is that to you?
23116What is the joke? 23116 What is the matter with you?"
23116What is your name, my dear?
23116What say to a moonlight dip off the Point?
23116What under the canopy is this here?
23116What will we do, crazy?
23116What?
23116What?
23116What_ is_ it?
23116What_ is_ the matter, Heavy?
23116What_ is_ the matter, Ruth?
23116Where are your friends? 23116 Where did he go, Ben?"
23116Where did she go?
23116Where did you get the idea for that scenario?
23116Where do you go in the winter, John?
23116Where do you live?
23116Where is that?
23116Where is the proprietor of this hotel, boy?
23116Where is your father, Bella?
23116Which way did he go, Ma''am?
23116Who is it you wish to see?
23116Who is the hermit?
23116Why could n''t the papers and note books have been caught up by a gust of wind and carried into the river?
23116Why do you want to go to live with the minister?
23116Why so?
23116Why?
23116You are quite sudden, are n''t you? 23116 You came to see somebody?"
23116You did not have any help about it? 23116 You do n''t mean it, Ruth?"
23116You liked it when he was so unsuccessful?
23116You mean Mr. Drovers? 23116 You run that-- that department there every week?"
23116You say she ai n''t nothin''to you folks?
23116You''ve changed your mind----"Is n''t that a girl''s privilege?
23116Your father is-- er-- what is his business?
23116A girl growed like you running''round in men''s overalls-- or, what be them things you got on?"
23116Ai n''t it enough to give one their nevergitovers to see you here?"
23116And the beds turned down?
23116And the gold- mounted fountain pen?
23116And then----"Who ever saw ghosts carrying garbage cans before?"
23116And to a child like you?"
23116And where did you come from, if I may ask?
23116And who could help liking him?
23116And who is he?"
23116And without being sure that such a supply of gas could be found within that distance, why separate the two cars?
23116As crazy as the old codger himself?"
23116Be I so scareful to look at?"
23116But ca n''t you stop the production of the picture?"
23116But my child is growing up----""Would you want her to grow up to know that her father is a thief?"
23116But these stories?"
23116But where did she come from?
23116But where is the thief around the Red Mill?"
23116But your other name?"
23116But, you see, they ai n''t like pa.""Did your father bring you here?"
23116CHAPTER III THE DERELICT"Did n''t you find anything, Tom?"
23116CHAPTER XV AN AMAZING SITUATION"''Ghost''?"
23116Could somebody have taken them all?"
23116Did n''t the_ poilus_ call you the jolly American?
23116Did you read the finished manuscript-- or any part of it-- to any person who can corroborate your statements?"
23116Do n''t Helen look fine, Ruth?
23116Do n''t you reckon she''s loony?"
23116Do n''t you think so?"
23116Do you know how wicked I am?"
23116Do you suppose he has seen anybody?"
23116Had it really been a rustling in the vines she had heard?
23116Had she allowed her mind to dwell on her loss until she was quite unaccountable for her mental decisions?
23116Had she deceived herself about this hermit''s story?
23116Hammond?"
23116Hammond?"
23116Have you got a pair of glasses?"
23116Helen peered over her chum''s shoulder and in teeth- chattering monotone breathed in Ruth''s ear the query:"What is it?"
23116Here?
23116How about it, Ruth?
23116How did you guess it?"
23116How''s the shoulder?"
23116How- do, Miss Fielding?
23116I did not bargain for this rough stuff, did you?
23116I guess you know who_ he_ is?"
23116I guess you think a good deal of your father?"
23116I had begged the ladies to dress just as they would were they going to an actual meeting of their sewing society----""And they all dressed up?"
23116I had it all just about as I wanted it, and then----""Then what?"
23116I have n''t seen your father here, have I?"
23116I tell you, Tom, I had_ such_ a good idea----""And you''ve got the idea yet, have n''t you?
23116Is it a movie story?"
23116Is n''t that where you are stopping?"
23116Is she a woman grown, or a child?"
23116Is the pitchers filled?
23116Is there a part in that''Idyl''story for me?"
23116Is this a joke?"
23116Is this a joke?"
23116It does look a good deal of an ark, does n''t it?"
23116It''s going to be rather tame, is n''t it?"
23116Jackman, the property man( you remember Jacks, do n''t you, Ruth?
23116Mr. Hammond had a fine pair of opera glasses, and he produced them from his desk while he asked:"What kind of boat is it, Maxwell?"
23116Of course, Mrs. Perkins and the doctor''s wife have no idea where you have gone?"
23116Or was it?
23116Remember the campus ghost back at old Briarwood, Helen?
23116See his horizon- blue sleeve steal about her?
23116Seen any tramps lately?"
23116Shall we start off in the cars again and seek pastures new?"
23116She flushed when she said:"Why should n''t he submit one?"
23116She''s lost it, ai n''t she?
23116So why worry about the pleasure- craft''s balance and her ability to sail the high seas?
23116Suppose she was quite wrong about that scenario the hermit had submitted to Mr. Hammond?
23116Surely you have heard the name?"
23116Was it a fact that she had allowed her loss to unbalance-- well, her judgment?
23116Was it likely that anybody else, writing a picture, would use just that phrase?
23116Was there somebody lurking about the summer- house?
23116Was there somebody up there in the wet woods-- some human creature lost in the storm?
23116We was talkin''about cats, warn''t we?"
23116What can be the matter with her?"
23116What did you think of it, Miss Ruth?"
23116What do you know about that?"
23116What do you suppose it is like, Ruth?"
23116What happened?"
23116What in all git out be you traipsing through these woods for in the rain?"
23116What is it?
23116What is it?"
23116Where are you?"
23116Where do we camp to- night, Tommy?"
23116Where do you suppose the poor thing has gone?"
23116Where is your house on the point?"
23116Which supposition was the more improbable?
23116Who are you looking for?"
23116Who could be wandering about the camp at this grim hour of the night?
23116Who could it be?
23116Who did you tell about your plot, and how you worked it out?
23116Who has been around here to- day?
23116Who is he?"
23116Who is your father, child?"
23116Who''d have thought it?"
23116Will you write to Jennie Stone?"
23116Wo n''t he be astonished?"
23116Yet, if this paper was a connecting link between her stolen manuscript and the thief,_ who was the thief_?
23116You are quite sure you have a good story here, are you?"
23116You folks ai n''t stoppin''right on the p''int, be ye?"
23116You originated the idea of''Plain Mary?''"
23116You wo n''t put me in no home, will you?"
23116You''ve a good opinion of your story, have n''t you?"
23116You-- you''ve let your mind dwell upon your loss so much----""Do you think I am crazy?"
23116do n''t you know whether he went toward Cheslow-- or where?"
23116ejaculated Tom, impatiently,"have n''t you seen any tramp, or straggler, or Gypsy-- or anybody like that?"
23116what has happened?"
23116what is it?"
23116who are you?"
23116wo n''t you be glad to get back to the grind again?"
23116you do but stretch the point, eh?"
33381A service car?
33381A trap?
33381A warning? 33381 After the way she treated us this afternoon?"
33381And Brunner?
33381And have they made no attempt to harm him?
33381And how did you know that Jimmie would be here tonight?
33381And when will that be?
33381And where is that?
33381And who is that?
33381And yet you expect me to find him a job?
33381Any mail for me this afternoon?
33381Anyone here who feels the same way?
33381Anything wrong?
33381Are n''t you Miss Nichols?
33381Are n''t you going to look at the inscription?
33381Are they very expensive?
33381Are you certain?
33381Are you trying to ruin my reputation as a detective?
33381Brunner would n''t let you?
33381But how did Jimmie learn that?
33381But how did you know, Betty?
33381But that does n''t prove necessarily that he''s guilty, does it?
33381But the newspaper publicity?
33381But what if the owner appears?
33381But what of Rap Molberg?
33381But why should he warn you that your life is in danger? 33381 But you do n''t really think he''ll come?"
33381By the way, you have n''t seen anyone prowling about the yard this evening, have you?
33381Ca n''t you arrange to capture the bold, bad men a little ahead of schedule?
33381Ca n''t you let this boy go free? 33381 Can you give me an accurate description of the man, Penny?"
33381Can you prove your story?
33381Can you tell what''s wrong?
33381Could I drive it away?
33381Could n''t I get it today?
33381Could n''t there have been another reason for the failure of the raid?
33381Could n''t you do anything to save his position, Dad?
33381Could you point it out to me?
33381Davis? 33381 Did n''t I close that door when I put the car away?"
33381Did you enjoy the interview?
33381Did you ever hear of a policeman by the name of Jerome Davis?
33381Did you ever see such a horrible picture?
33381Did you get into the building?
33381Did you have your locker fastened securely?
33381Did you hear?
33381Did you notice a scar on his cheek?
33381Did you notice anything peculiar about that boy''s appearance?
33381Did you search the grounds?
33381Did you see an automobile without headlights come this way?
33381Did you see what garage it was from?
33381Do they suspect I''m here?
33381Do you know who he is?
33381Do you suppose he''ll keep his promise and come to see your father?
33381Do you think I''ve made an awful mistake?
33381Do you think he will be convicted?
33381Does n''t he think I''m capable of handling this end?
33381Everything okay, sir?
33381Future reference?
33381Going my way?
33381Has Dad left town yet?
33381Has Mrs. Gallup locked up the place for the summer?
33381Has anything ever been proven against him?
33381Have n''t I seen you in here before?
33381Have n''t you any tires for sale?
33381Have they surrounded the district?
33381Have you another?
33381Have you driven it since?
33381Have you ever met her brother?
33381Have you found any clue as to the whereabouts of Rap Molberg?
33381Have you looked carefully?
33381Have you no clue as to where this so called''master mind''may be?
33381Have you reported to headquarters?
33381He has forced you to continue in crime against your will?
33381How can I with my hands tied?
33381How could you?
33381How did you get here?
33381How did you happen to be parked downtown?
33381How did you know where to come?
33381How did you know?
33381How did you open it?
33381How did your father learn the truth, Betty?
33381How do you like your car by this time?
33381How do you mean?
33381How do you mean?
33381How long has he known?
33381How many?
33381I do n''t suppose that rattle- trap roadster of yours might offer a clue to the mystery?
33381I do n''t suppose you''d have time to go with me now and look at a few models, would you?
33381I know the HGT stands for height and TR for trunk, but what are the other abbreviations?
33381I suppose nothing can save Mr. Davis''position on the force?
33381I wonder if I dare attempt to shadow him?
33381I wonder if it could have been at our house?
33381I wonder where he''s going in such a hurry?
33381I wonder why they''re after the man?
33381If I should let you go will you promise not to get into any more trouble?
33381If everything is honest and above board, why did they use the alley entrance when the other one is far more convenient?
33381If the Molberg outfit did n''t regard him as an enemy then why would they throw a warning note through the window?
33381If you were n''t guilty why did you run?
33381If you will come back in a few days----"Ca n''t you get the address for me now? 33381 If you''re looking for a secret opening, why not come in the daytime when you can see much better?"
33381If you''re on your way home, ca n''t I take you there in my car?
33381Indeed?
33381Is Father badly hurt?
33381Is it going well then?
33381Is it so very important?
33381Is n''t that Betty Davis over there under the beach umbrella?
33381Is n''t that a new method?
33381Is n''t that almost directly across from the Brunner garage?
33381Is the case going badly?
33381Is this Miss Nichols?
33381Is this Rap''s description?
33381Is this yours?
33381It is n''t Father?
33381Jimmie, you were the one who tipped off the gang that it was to be staged?
33381Jimmie?
33381Jimmie?
33381Just how do you mean?
33381Just what did you do for Brunner, Jimmie?
33381Just what is it that upsets that girl so?
33381Lonesome?
33381Looks like they got wind of what was up, does n''t it?
33381May I visit this new office of yours?
33381Must he always trail me around, Dad? 33381 Need water?"
33381Nichols, the detective?
33381No, why?
33381Not Rap Molberg?
33381Now that Rap Molberg escaped the police net, what will be your next move?
33381Now what does he want there?
33381Now what have I done?
33381Oh, Jimmie, how could you do it?
33381Oh, so you''re sick and tired of it, are you?
33381On account of the company he keeps?
33381Penny, what has happened?
33381See anything wrong with the wheel?
33381Shall I look at your oil?
33381Shall I try another road?
33381Shall we call it an evening and finish off with something to eat?
33381Shall we drive over in my car?
33381Shall we go in?
33381Shall we go over and speak to her?
33381So soon?
33381So you are Christopher Nichols''daughter?
33381So you refuse to give me the address?
33381Something?
33381Surely you do n''t think he''d be guilty of helping Rap Molberg?
33381Susan, is n''t that Jerry Barrows?
33381Susan?
33381Tell me, did Jerry Barrows come to interview you this morning?
33381Tell me, how was he injured?
33381That you, Jake?
33381That young protégé of yours?
33381That''s your final decision?
33381The tire theft gang is at work again?
33381Then how did you know me?
33381Then how do you keep in touch with your men?
33381Then there''s nothing we can do?
33381Then why did you ask?
33381Then why were you hiding in my garage?
33381Then you do n''t feel that you can push the search?
33381Then your father knows the truth?
33381Trying to bring the police down on us, were you?
33381Trying to brush up on who''s out and why?
33381Was n''t it a bargain?
33381Was that what you had in mind, Penny?
33381Were many wheels stolen last night?
33381What about this inspiration of yours?
33381What became of your old one, may I ask?
33381What can I do for you, Miss Nichols?
33381What color shall I get?
33381What did you do with them?
33381What did you find?
33381What did you learn about that license number I gave you last night, Dad?
33381What do you think about Jerome Davis, Dad? 33381 What happened?"
33381What happened?
33381What if you did make a slight blunder? 33381 What in the world do you do here?"
33381What is the meaning of this?
33381What is?
33381What kind of car are you going to get?
33381What luck?
33381What made him change his mind?
33381What makes you think so?
33381What news?
33381What shall we do with''em now?
33381What sort of disappearance?
33381What sort of juvenile court record do you have?
33381What sort of work does he do?
33381What time is it?
33381What was it you wanted, Betty?
33381What was that?
33381What''s a generator?
33381What''s he doing there?
33381What''s the matter anyway? 33381 What''s the use?"
33381What''s this? 33381 What''s wrong?"
33381What?
33381Wheel stolen?
33381When was that?
33381Where are they taking us?
33381Where are we going now, Dad?
33381Where are you going to buy your car?
33381Where are you now, Penny?
33381Where is Dad now?
33381Where is his office?
33381Where is my father?
33381Where is this other hideout which is to be raided?
33381Where to now?
33381Where will this thing end?
33381Who could have carried the information?
33381Who is this boy, Penny?
33381Who is this boy, Penny?
33381Why are you doing this?
33381Why did n''t you come to talk with my father as you promised, Jimmie?
33381Why did n''t you wait and explain?
33381Why did you come here tonight, Betty?
33381Why did you want it?
33381Why do n''t you go to a moving picture show?
33381Why do n''t you have your father make the report for us?
33381Why do n''t you take Susan to a picture show?
33381Why not call on her this afternoon?
33381Why should I assist you in thwarting justice?
33381Why were the police searching for the boy?
33381Why, Betty, what brings you here?
33381Will the police make the raid?
33381Wo n''t it be dangerous?
33381Wo n''t you come in for a few minutes?
33381Wonder who it''s from?
33381Would I? 33381 Would you really work if you had a position?"
33381Yes, how did you know?
33381Yes, is n''t it? 33381 Yes, what do I owe?"
33381Yes, why?
33381You did n''t like that man very well, did you?
33381You do n''t think that man was trying to steal a wheel?
33381You have n''t been in a collision?
33381You have n''t told my father?
33381You mean for fear of antagonizing your superiors?
33381You mean he''s had me shadowed?
33381You mean they mingle with underworld characters and try to gain their confidence?
33381You say you''ve seen the tire thieves at work?
33381You were sent here to take me to my father?
33381You''ll be at your office all morning, wo n''t you, Dad?
33381You''ll testify against Brunner and Molberg?
33381You''re certain no hint of the raid has leaked out?
33381You''re certain that was what he said?
33381You''re not related to Christopher Nichols?
33381Your guarantee means nothing?
33381Your name and address?
33381Your new office?

33381A new case?"
33381And the Hamilton building?"
33381Are n''t you taking a rather sudden interest in my work, Penny?"
33381Are you afraid to have your superiors know what you are about?"
33381Are you hurt?"
33381Badly?"
33381Brunner?"
33381Brunner?"
33381Brunner?"
33381But I was wondering-- do you think Mr. Nichols might be induced to intercede in behalf of my father?"
33381But seriously, ca n''t you discharge him?"
33381CHAPTER VII An Awkward Situation"Now just what did she mean by that remark?"
33381Ca n''t I help you?"
33381Can you come at once?"
33381Could it be that Brunner was involved in the auto accessory thefts?
33381Dad''s home, I suppose?"
33381Did n''t Mrs. Gallup explain?"
33381Did n''t that strike you as queer?"
33381Did n''t that warning give you the creeps?"
33381Did she get through to the police, do you think?"
33381Did you observe anything more?"
33381Did you young ladies wish to see me about another matter?"
33381Do n''t you think so, Dad?"
33381Do you sit here at the window and watch for the auto thieves?"
33381Do you think he could know anything concerning the Molberg gang?"
33381Does n''t it strike you as odd that Jerry would be working for him?"
33381Gallup?"
33381Had some of Rap Molberg''s men followed the taxi?
33381Had they noted her call at the Davis home or the visit she and Susan had paid to the Hamilton building?
33381Has the engine balked already?"
33381How will you like that?"
33381I ca n''t see how the news leaked out unless--""Unless what?"
33381I pleaded with him to give up his career of crime--""And why were you found in the company of Rap Molberg?"
33381I wonder if Jerry Barrows actually does work for him?"
33381In fact I''ve been worried for fear----""For fear of what?"
33381Is it your opinion that he is honest?"
33381Is n''t your car covered by insurance, Susan?"
33381It''s not Jerry Barrows is it?"
33381Listen, is n''t that the phone now?"
33381Oh, Miss Nichols, do you think they''ll keep Jimmie in jail?"
33381Otherwise why would he have left so hurriedly when we came up?
33381Penny turned to the girl and questioned kindly:"Have n''t I seen you somewhere?
33381Penny, you''re certain you never dropped a word of this?"
33381Please, wo n''t you let me go free?"
33381She hesitated, then said hurriedly:"I do n''t suppose you''d care to take luncheon with me?"
33381The coffee does taste all right, does n''t it?"
33381Was it imagination or had it opened a tiny crack?
33381What coup were the two men planning for that evening?
33381What do you think they will do when Father defies them?"
33381What made him act like that?"
33381Where did you buy the tire?"
33381Which hospital?"
33381Why should she be so troubled because her father was writing out a routine report of a theft?
33381Why then, should a man in Brunner''s position stoop to have dealings with such a person unless he too were guilty?
33381Why?"
33381Will you mind going to court?"
33381Would you care to go by yourself?"
33381Would you care to see his photograph?"
33381You really want to hear the interview?"
33381You say the door is operated by means of a photo- electric cell?"
33381You''re sure you never mentioned the raid to your friend Susan?"
41455A lover? 41455 Am I correct, then, in suspecting that you already have a lover?"
41455An old friend of yours?
41455And I go to take the car up?
41455And Mr Tremlett?
41455And Zorka?
41455And about the girl? 41455 And has it never struck you as strange that you, an Imperial Princess, should be a friend of a man who''s a bankrupt-- an outsider like myself?"
41455And have you not always shown yourself my friend, Jack? 41455 And may I come and see you?"
41455And not yet to London?
41455And quite gone on you-- eh?
41455And she''s looking for a second, I suppose?
41455And the Italian was at that time in your service?
41455And the lady is Engleesh?
41455And what did he say?
41455And what did you do?
41455And what was done with her?
41455And what''s your plans?
41455And where''s Ferrini?
41455And you are engaged-- eh?
41455And you have come here alone?
41455And you propose that the earnings of the syndicate should be taxed by our Department of Finance?
41455And your Highness has fallen in love with her?
41455Are people coming here to dine and sleep?
41455Are we likely to be away for long?
41455Are you really the Mr Drummond of whose wonderful feat I read of only the other day in the papers?
41455Are you sure of this?
41455Better follow them, had n''t we?
41455But dare I speak to her, Charles? 41455 But he does n''t suspect anything wrong?"
41455But what is the nature of this fresh game?
41455But who''d believe they''re genuine? 41455 But you''ll return here to- morrow, wo n''t you?"
41455But-- but Jack-- you are my friend, are you not?
41455Charles told you where I was, I suppose?
41455Could n''t you send me in to Whitby, and I''d give him all instructions, and tell him the state of affairs?
41455Dangerous?
41455Did n''t I telegraph to you only this morning?
41455Do you know where they are?
41455Do you like it?
41455Do you really know this?
41455Do? 41455 Dreariness?
41455From the Prince?
41455Got rid of him-- eh?
41455Had a good run, Herbert?
41455Have you made any inquiries concerning her?
41455Have you your cousin''s authority to accept terms?
41455He is still here, of course?
41455He loved you, then?
41455How can I ever forget?
41455How can you ask that?
41455How has the safe been opened?
41455How is your shoulder this evening?
41455How long since the dear one departed?
41455How? 41455 How?"
41455How?
41455How?
41455However do you pass your days in this sleepy hollow?
41455Hulloa?
41455I suppose he''s down here for fresh air?
41455I suppose the Parson''s in it, as usual-- eh? 41455 I think,"he said,"your Highness happens to know something of an old lady named Demidoff and her friends who live in Toddington Terrace?"
41455I wonder if she''d be attracted by the title of princess?
41455I wonder what interest he has in the Company? 41455 I wonder where they''re going, Garrett?"
41455I wonder whether the game''s worth the candle?
41455I wonder, Mrs Edmondson, whether I might confide in you-- I mean whether you would keep my secret?
41455I''m not mysterious, am I?
41455I''m sure it''s awfully good of you to become an invalid on my account?
41455If there''s nothing there, what''s the use troubling over her further?
41455Is her place far from Whitby?
41455Is it jewels?
41455It-- well it really would n''t be too great a breach of the convenances for a woman to go out on a racing- car, would it?
41455Know it? 41455 Max is at the` George,''is n''t he?"
41455Mr Northover''s bank?
41455My aunt, however, is anxious to know him, so if you make his acquaintance, will you please introduce him to us?
41455Nellie seems much struck by the Prince, do n''t you think? 41455 Of what?"
41455Picks up what he can?
41455Say?
41455So you keep them in a safe deposit?
41455Some other work of charity-- eh?
41455Tell me who sent you here to us? 41455 The Parson''s down there, is n''t he?"
41455Then I shall be glad if you will give her my card, and say I will call,I said;"that is if you still deny having met me in Tirnovo and in Palermo?"
41455Then does not that confirm our suspicions? 41455 Then he may not be in Berlin next week?"
41455Then how did they get their booty away?
41455Then the dinner- party will be a very smart one?
41455Then what about running over to Eastbourne to tea to- day?
41455Then you have escaped from your harem-- eh?
41455Then you have used it?
41455Then you know but little of London?
41455Then you''ll identify them, wo n''t you? 41455 Then you''ve lost the Emperor''s present?"
41455Then your Highness is travelling for pleasure?
41455Think, Mrs Edmondson?
41455Was she?
41455We have a little matter in hand down there-- you understand?
41455Well, Garrett?
41455Well, and what of that? 41455 Well, if she''s so confoundedly generous, what is to prevent us from benefiting a bit?
41455Well, what do you know?
41455Well, what''s the matter?
41455Well,asked his master,"what''s the news?"
41455Well?
41455Well?
41455Well?
41455Well?
41455Well?
41455Well?
41455Well?
41455Were you?
41455What about that man who took the shop next door?
41455What are your lowest terms?
41455What attitude would your Lordship adopt?
41455What boodle?
41455What brings you here, Max?
41455What do you mean, Jack?
41455What do you mean? 41455 What does this mean?"
41455What make of car is yours?
41455What secret?
41455What was it?
41455What we call in America a crook-- eh?
41455What''s that?
41455What?
41455What?
41455What?
41455What_ is_ the trick?
41455When will Madame Demidoff return?
41455Where are those women, I wonder?
41455Where are you from?
41455Where have we met that fellow before? 41455 Where was he before he entered your service?"
41455Where''s the Kaiser just now?
41455Who''s that man?
41455Why are you so anxious to have one?
41455Why bother about what the world thinks? 41455 Why should you?"
41455Why?
41455Why?
41455Why?
41455Will you not answer my question? 41455 Yes,"cried Mrs Edmondson;"and we will have no further excuses, will we, Mr Clayton?"
41455You are, however, French-- eh?
41455You love him-- eh?
41455You motor a great deal, I suppose?
41455You really do n''t mean to go? 41455 You recollect the suspicions of Ferrini which I entertained, and which I explained in confidence to you?
41455You sent him the snap- shot, I suppose?
41455You think so?
41455You want another fifty, I suppose-- eh?
41455You''re at the Grand, are n''t you? 41455 You''ve got the key of my despatch- box, eh?"
41455Your correspondent was anonymous, you say?
41455` And your friend, Mehmed?'' 41455 ` But how do you know that the police have followed you?''
41455` But surely you will take something? 41455 ` But you said that mademoiselle had sent you for me?''
41455` But, mademoiselle, how can I help you?'' 41455 ` How?
41455` Monsieur Martin?'' 41455 ` Perhaps, mademoiselle, we shall meet again some day, who knows?''
41455` To- night?'' 41455 ` Well, mademoiselle?''
41455` Where is Madame?'' 41455 ` Why to- night?''
41455` Why?'' 41455 A few days later, when in the evening I called on Mayhew at his rooms, he said:What have you been up to, Martin?
41455Am I still in Turkey?"
41455And Madame, your aunt?"
41455And pray what do you threaten?''
41455And why had the old man returned?
41455And you have your motor- car here-- eh?
41455And you''ll have to make a lot of love to her-- you understand?"
41455Are they your friends?"
41455Are you willing?"
41455Are you?"
41455Both the Parson and I will be perfect strangers to you-- you understand?"
41455But if actually a prince, why did he carry a passport?
41455But we did the trick all right, after all, did n''t we?
41455But what do I really care?"
41455But where was the car?
41455But why should it all be dropped for heavy meals and dulness, just because two people who like one another have the marriage service read over them?"
41455But with what motive?
41455By the way,"I added,"do you happen to know who is the landlord of these houses?"
41455Charles helped him on with a light motor- coat, and, as he did so, asked:"If the Parson calls, what am I to say?"
41455Do n''t worry me any more at present for your Confounded-- er charities-- will you?
41455Do we fear?"
41455Do you know I''ve a very strange fancy?"
41455Do you know much of him?"
41455Do you think you can love me sufficiently-- sufficiently to become my wife?"
41455For me-- what does it matter?
41455Fresh air for the children, and whisky for yourself-- eh?
41455Had she, he wondered, recognised him?
41455Have you ever been there, Prince?"
41455Have you never heard of her?''
41455Have you not noticed him?
41455Have you sent Max the money?"
41455He being my husband, it is my duty to help him-- is it not?"
41455He sprung up at the entrance of the round- faced cleric, saying:"Well, Tommy?
41455He was a prince and wealthy, therefore what motive had he to descend to the level of a thief?
41455How could he tell her the ghastly truth?
41455How has it gone?
41455How have you got on with Elfrida?"
41455I am your captive-- eh?
41455I demanded in a hard tone,` And for what reason, pray, do you pry into my private papers like this?''
41455I ejaculated,"Who''s the girl, Prince?"
41455I hope you were not hurt at all?"
41455I suppose you have a safe in which to keep your jewels?"
41455I thought I''d got a soft thing-- those Bourbon pearls, you know?
41455I told her nothing of my visit to Toddington Terrace, but presently I said:"I''ll come to the Excelsior, and call on your aunt-- if I may?"
41455I wonder if the mother has any suspicion-- whether--?"
41455I wonder if the pretty Velia has still any aspirations to enter the British peerage?"
41455I wonder what the world would say if they knew my secret?"
41455I''m lunching with you here, and I wonder if you and your cousin will come with me for a run out to Tivoli afterwards?"
41455I''m short?"
41455I''ve got eight hundred pounds for you here-- your share of the boodle?"
41455I-- I--""Can you love me?"
41455If jewellery was not the object of their visit, then what was?
41455If so, for what reason?
41455In a gigantic matter of this sort-- a matter of millions-- certain palm- oil has to be applied-- eh?"
41455In what manner can I assist you?''
41455In what manner is he seeking your assistance?"
41455Indeed-- had she not already been engaged to Hausner, broken it off, and was now half engaged to the Marquis Torrini?
41455Is he not a dangerous person to have in a house so full of valuable objects as Milnthorpe?"
41455Is n''t he real nice?
41455It is against your English ideas of_ les convenances_--eh?"
41455Jesup?"
41455Like to see some of it?"
41455Miss Mary has a lovely diamond necklet--""And wore it last night, I suppose?"
41455Of what?
41455Of what?''
41455Or else--""Or else there''ll be trouble-- eh?"
41455Or was it really a fact that he, Prince Albert of Hesse- Holstein, had, for a few moments, held her hand tenderly?
41455Perhaps I''ll see you after lunch?
41455Perhaps you could go with me, after the bank has closed?"
41455Pretty, is n''t she, Diprose?"
41455Remember the affair of the pretty Miss Northover?"
41455Should I not be ungrateful if I were not your friend in return?"
41455Tell me, can you ever reciprocate my love?"
41455The fortune of your car is made?"
41455The instant his visitor had gone he called Charles and asked excitedly:"Did any one know the Parson came to see me?"
41455Theirs was n''t a particularly cheery journey, was it?"
41455Then you are not fond of London?"
41455Then, noticing that I had not touched mine, he asked,` Do n''t you take coffee?
41455Then, raising her eyes again, and gazing straight into his face she asked,"Will you really be my friend?"
41455Therefore, why should he, on this occasion, become so foolishly apprehensive?
41455Understand?"
41455Understand?"
41455Was he not champion and defender of the helpless and lonely woman he loved-- the woman upon whom the Marquess had sworn within himself to be avenged?
41455Was it at my departure?
41455Was it possible that Madame had fled upon recognising me?
41455Was it possible that some ingenious adventurer had got ahead of him?
41455Was it therefore any wonder that the ambitious widow of the shipbuilder should have angled after him?
41455Was it under suspicious circumstances-- or otherwise?
41455Was not his position a curious one?
41455Was she dreaming?
41455We were in no hurry to compromise, so the three remained prisoners, and--""And what?"
41455What could I do, save to render her assistance?
41455What could be its significance?
41455What did that matter, after all?
41455What do you want me to do?"
41455What happened to you?
41455What have you found out?"
41455What is it?"
41455What shall we do?"
41455What was it?
41455What was their game?"
41455What were the intentions of his ingenious and unscrupulous friends?
41455What were titles, imperial birth, power, and the servility of the people, to love?
41455What will she think?
41455What will they say?"
41455What would the good people of Glenblair have thought had they been aware of the identity of the trio they were entertaining at their table?
41455What, I wondered had become of the young Austrian millionaire, Hausner?
41455When did you arrive?''
41455Where had the fellow met the Prince before?
41455Where is he living?"
41455Where was the big"sixty"?
41455Where were the Princess and her pretty niece?
41455Where''s the Sky- pilot?"
41455Where''s the car?"
41455Whither are you going?"
41455Whom do you mean?"
41455Why had Elise not admitted to me the truth?
41455Why should it?
41455Why was she in peril?
41455Why, I wondered had Madame represented herself as a woman of the middle- class, resident in a dull West End terrace?
41455Why, the chauffeur wondered?
41455Why?
41455Will you call at the bank for me?"
41455Will you have a glass of rahki?''
41455Would it beat the English make?
41455Would not that be of national benefit?"
41455Yet, what does it matter?
41455You are, of course, at the Igiea?"
41455You got my wire from Amersfoort?"
41455You loved the man, eh?"
41455You''re at the` George,''I suppose?"
41455` Are you really the Gospodin Martin?
41455` But why do you fear?''
41455` What can I do?''
41455` You expected, I believe, to meet Mademoiselle Olga, eh?''
41455he asked,"another_ coup_?"
41455why ca n''t you postpone your visit, and come and see me first?"
34831About the race,she said, reverting to the previous subject,"you are n''t really serious about not entering?"
34831After I was discharged from the factory?
34831After all, has n''t he given you everything?
34831Ai n''t you off early tonight?
34831All set, mate?
34831And give everything away? 34831 And have her tear into me like a wild cat?"
34831And have you always kept it locked?
34831And he''s the man you thought you knew?
34831And of that no- account Joe, the Sweeper?
34831And what will you have to go with it? 34831 And who told you that?"
34831And you?
34831Any clues?
34831Any ideas?
34831Any other boat around that they can use to follow us in?
34831Anyone been here this afternoon?
34831Anything doing?
34831Anything wrong, deary?
34831Are n''t genuine silk stockings hard to get now?
34831Are n''t you jumping to pretty fast conclusions?
34831Are we in safe waters now?
34831Are you really serious about racing with me tomorrow?
34831Are you so sure that you do?
34831Are you sure you want me to sail with you?
34831At the Harpers?
34831Been here long?
34831Black market?
34831But this ferryboat?
34831But what about the Gandiss family? 34831 But_ where_ are we?
34831By the way, how did you know why the girl was taken to the office?
34831Ca n''t it be repaired?
34831Ca n''t you get a screwdriver and take off the hinges? 34831 Can they prove it''s the same brass?"
34831Can you take aboard three more survivors? 34831 Could n''t we sneak up to the house and peek in one of the windows?"
34831Could you let me have twenty dollars? 34831 Did Ernst bring you to buy something?"
34831Did he offer you any brass?
34831Did n''t Mr. Gandiss write you a letter asking you to come in for a personal interview?
34831Did n''t Sally win the lantern trophy?
34831Did you ever see the man before?
34831Did you notify police?
34831Did you see who the fellow was, Sally?
34831Do I know you?
34831Do n''t you feel she should be cleared?
34831Do n''t you have sense enough to figure what will happen if that girl gets away from us?
34831Do we dare row?
34831Do you know Mr. Gandiss well?
34831Do you know of anyone in the factory who dislikes you?
34831Do you realize that you nearly lost several of your fingers tonight?
34831Do you really dislike Jack?
34831Do_ you_ have one?
34831Does it have anything to do with Sweeper Joe?
34831Does it have anything to do with that junk shop?
34831Does she?
34831Does your son Jack have anything to do with it?
34831Factory girls?
34831Find anyone?
34831Find anything?
34831Fired?
34831Get a job at another factory?
34831Good fishing around here?
34831Harvey Gandiss''son?
34831Have n''t you an extra can of fuel aboard?
34831Have you calculated how much I am losing a year?
34831Have you called in the police?
34831Have you dumped all the stuff in the river?
34831Have you given your locker key to anyone?
34831Have you had employes searched as they leave the building?
34831Heiney?
34831How about Joe the Sweeper?
34831How about dropping us off at the island?
34831How about hiring a boat?
34831How about that window at the east side?
34831How about the day''s passenger receipts?
34831How about the sailboat race?
34831How can we do anything without proof? 34831 How close are we to the bend in the river?"
34831How could sparks from the_ Florence_ have carried so far?
34831How did it happen?
34831How did it strike him?
34831How did that happen? 34831 How did you get into the water?"
34831How do you explain it?
34831How do you like that?
34831How do you mean?
34831How is it going, Sally?
34831How is your supply?
34831How long do you folks expect to stay at Shadow Island?
34831How long should it take the police to get there?
34831How many employes do you have at the plant?
34831How will I face the racing committee?
34831How?
34831How?
34831I guess I made myself look like a heel, did n''t I?
34831I hate to ask this,he said uncomfortably,"but how are you fixed for money?"
34831I won it fairly enough, did n''t I?
34831I won the race, so does n''t the brass lantern belong to me?
34831I''ll do what?
34831If he saw her hide brass in her clothing as he claims, why did n''t he report her last night?
34831If my_ Cat_ is in the race, you''ll sail?
34831If you lose today must you give up the trophy?
34831Is Sally aboard?
34831Is he a friend of yours?
34831Is it an annual affair?
34831Is n''t she beautiful?
34831Is n''t that a piece of brass?
34831Is n''t the wind dying?
34831Is n''t there some place where we can telephone the police?
34831Is that you?
34831Is the gal going to get fired?
34831Is this my room or is it your private runway?
34831Is this the place?
34831It has to be a boy?
34831It is necessary?
34831It''s all right for you guys to blow town, but what about me and the wife?
34831Jack did n''t tell?
34831Locked in the cabin safe?
34831Must you always claw at each other?
34831No? 34831 Not enter?
34831Not even to clear your name?
34831Not the factory episode?
34831Not the new sailboat?
34831Now how did they get out here?
34831Now what''s this?
34831Now what?
34831Now what?
34831Now?
34831Oars?
34831Oh, Sally, do n''t you see? 34831 Oh, Sally, will we make it?"
34831Penny, are you straight in your head? 34831 Penny, you''re not racing in Sally''s boat?"
34831Pretty clothes, I suppose-- or perhaps a new sailboat?
34831Ready?
34831Sabotage?
34831Sally Barker is his chief competitor?
34831Sally, what are you doing here?
34831Sally, why must you be so stubborn about hanging it here on the_ River Queen?_ Every Tom, Dick, and Harry rides this old tub.
34831Sally, would you be able to ride along as adviser and captain bold?
34831Say, what are you leading up to anyhow?
34831Say, what became of the trophy?
34831Says who?
34831See that man?
34831Shake?
34831Shall we talk here?
34831Should n''t we turn now?
34831So you think I''ve given Sally a raw deal?
34831So you''ve been studying the school catalogues?
34831Suppose they sit there until they decide to leave in this boat?
34831That sweeper, called Joe?
34831That you, Penny?
34831The disappearance of parts has n''t curtailed production to any extent?
34831The ferry ca n''t land there?
34831The person who put that brass in my locker has n''t been caught?
34831The question is, how much longer are we to wait?
34831The question is, what are we goin''to do about the gal?
34831The_ Florence_?
34831Then how about a date?
34831Then may I return to my work?
34831Then we''ll win?
34831Then what you been takin''my time for?
34831Then why do n''t we do something about it?
34831Then why do n''t you try to get a little evidence against this man Joe, the Sweeper?
34831Then why is n''t she cleared?
34831Then why not sell it tonight?
34831Then you''re all ready for competition?
34831There was nothing more to it?
34831Time to get up?
34831Want to come along?
34831Want to see the steel plant?
34831Was n''t it here last night when we went to bed?
34831Was there anything else?
34831We''re hard aground, are n''t we?
34831Well, Jack, what did you learn at the factory?
34831Well, he came to the island, and you borrowed money from me to give him--"So you recognized him that day?
34831Well, why do n''t we have the fellow arrested?
34831Well?
34831What about the girl?
34831What are Ma and me gon na do?
34831What are you keeping from me?
34831What are you talking about?
34831What clue?
34831What did I do?
34831What did they give you the can for?
34831What did you do with the lantern trophy? 34831 What do you do with the discarded pieces?"
34831What do you have?
34831What happened this time? 34831 What if I did?"
34831What is it you want?
34831What is it, Claude?
34831What is it?
34831What is it?
34831What is this?
34831What is?
34831What island are we passing?
34831What time did you get in, Jack?
34831What was that?
34831What will the other contestants say? 34831 What will you do now?"
34831What you doin''here?
34831What''d he have to report?
34831What''s beautiful about it?
34831What''s cooking, Pop?
34831What''s the difference?
34831What''s the verdict?
34831What''s your name anyhow?
34831What? 34831 Whatever gave you that crazy idea?"
34831Where are we?
34831Where did this come from?
34831Where did you get it?
34831Where do the Barkers live?
34831Where do you live?
34831Where in the world did you go?
34831Where is the boy?
34831Where were we when all this excitement started?
34831Who are the Harpers?
34831Who are they?
34831Who is Joe the Sweeper anyhow? 34831 Who is steering the boat?"
34831Who is the man, Jack?
34831Who planted the brass in Sally''s locker while she was working at the factory?
34831Who was she?
34831Who was the girl? 34831 Who was the girl?"
34831Why are n''t you two nicer to each other?
34831Why be in such a hurry?
34831Why call on me?
34831Why did n''t you come back to Shadow Island this afternoon? 34831 Why do you suppose the thief took the lantern and nothing else?"
34831Why do you think I took that job in the first place, and spent better than two years studyin''the Gandiss factory layout? 34831 Why does it mean so much to you?"
34831Why has n''t someone brought her out?
34831Why have you felt so friendly toward that crook, Glowershick?
34831Why not appeal to Mr. Gandiss? 34831 Why not give it up?
34831Why not let him go?
34831Why not take down the sail? 34831 Why not try to find out?"
34831Why not untie the rope, and let the boat drift off?
34831Why not? 34831 Why not?"
34831Will it dry in time for the race tomorrow?
34831Will she have a new boat?
34831Will we be able to see steel poured from the furnaces?
34831Will you and your daughter visit the factory with me in the morning?
34831Will you kindly explain?
34831Wonder what Joe would be doing here?
34831Would n''t that be dangerous?
34831You been losin''copper and brass from your factory, ai n''t you?
34831You decided to take it down after all?
34831You did n''t appear too interested?
34831You do n''t think Jack is mixed up with the Harpers in black market dealings?
34831You have no idea who may be taking the materials?
34831You hear me?
34831You know the man?
34831You like the work?
34831You mean about the factory?
34831You mean she''s being discharged?
34831You mean you were n''t able to find out the name of the man who dropped his badge aboard the_ Queen_?
34831You need an expert sailor?
34831You ran out of gas? 34831 You really mean that?"
34831You wonder why I sent for you?
34831You''ll give me that salary raise if I turn her in?
34831You''re not really convinced then?
34831You''ve lost the key?
34831Your gateman is entirely trustworthy?
34831Your mother too, I suppose?
34831_ Second_ place?
34831567?"
34831Ai n''t you due to show up for work at four o''clock, Joe?"
34831Any other news, Jack?"
34831Anything to report?"
34831Are you going to sleep over it all day?"
34831Beauties, ai n''t they?"
34831But should n''t you explain?"
34831But you know that detective your father brought here from Riverview?"
34831CHAPTER 4 THROUGH THE WINDOW"Now who can that be?"
34831CHAPTER 5 UNWANTED ADVICE"Just having an early morning snack?"
34831CHAPTER 8_ OVERHEARD IN THE GATEHOUSE_"Why, where did that come from?"
34831Could they cross the finish line ahead of the_ Spindrift_?
34831Did the thefts cease after she left?"
34831Did you meet this man at the Harpers?"
34831Do n''t you believe me?"
34831Do you really need the money so badly?"
34831Do you think he got away with the money in the safe?"
34831Does he expect us to swim to the island?"
34831Engine conk out?"
34831Gandiss?"
34831Gandiss?"
34831Gandiss?"
34831Gandiss?"
34831Hamburgers or dogs?
34831Have you any idea who the guilty parties might be?"
34831How about an exciting game of chess?"
34831How about the trophy?"
34831How are you this evening?"
34831How are you two at solving a mystery?"
34831If he shows up with the brass, shall I have him arrested?"
34831Is n''t the river beautiful?"
34831Jack, will you take us to the Harpers''in your motorboat?"
34831Near the Harpers?"
34831Now, is the lecture concluded?"
34831Oh, by the way, how about a trial run in the_ Spindrift_?"
34831Oh, what can we do?"
34831On the whole, though, I wonder if Sally has had a square deal?"
34831Pine scent or violet?"
34831Remember?"
34831Sally, why did you try to get into that burning building?"
34831Seen anything of her?"
34831Shall we let her go?"
34831Shall we say tomorrow?"
34831Sure there ai n''t nothing wrong?"
34831Take it down?"
34831They were nearing the docks when the man, glancing back over his shoulder, said carelessly:"How would you like to buy some genuine silk stockings?"
34831Want to sail with me?"
34831Was Jack angry when you told him?"
34831Was this the Jack they knew?
34831What was she wearing?"
34831What''s it worth?"
34831What''s our chances of getting rid of it tonight?"
34831What''s the name of this one- horse dump, anyhow?"
34831When do you sleep?"
34831When is the race?"
34831When were you employed?"
34831Where did she go?"
34831Where is the place?"
34831Where the owner offered us a higher price than any other place in town?"
34831Why does it mean so much to defeat him?"
34831Why not taxi into town?
34831Why should n''t she?
34831Why was not a boat sent in search of her?
34831Why?"
34831Will you come to see me sometime while you''re here?"
34831Would her frantic signals be seen?
34831You do n''t really believe she would stoop to such a thing?"
34831You know that junk shop where we arranged to sell our stuff?
34831You know what you''re saying?"
34831You say you have no clues?"
34831You see what I mean, Mr. Parker?
6827''Sw''at?
6827About what?
6827And go back on the_ Skyrocket_? 6827 Anything else gone wrong?"
6827Apples? 6827 Are you coming?"
6827Back again?
6827Big news? 6827 Boy who was drowned?
6827But did n''t you tell Tod''s dad about what we-- found out?
6827But might n''t it just have been snagged or shoaled up above, and finally worked loose?
6827But there were two of you on the island after me, were n''t there? 6827 But there''s one thing that puzzles me-- do you notice how much water there is in the boat?
6827But what do you want to get onto the island for? 6827 But what was the idea in thumping us because you thought we were from the island?"
6827But where''s the-- the body, then?
6827But why do n''t you let us look on the island? 6827 But why do n''t you want us to look for our friend?
6827But why,Jerry wanted to know,"did n''t you come back home right away-- if you were n''t hurt?"
6827But wo n''t you tell me about Tod?
6827Ca n''t you beg off and get a little more time?
6827Ca n''t you slow her down a little?
6827Ca n''t you tune her down?
6827Course I did-- but we''re going, are n''t we? 6827 Did n''t it look like something blackish in the bottom of the boat?"
6827Did n''t we see you slinking along through the bushes?
6827Did someone tell you he was there, then?
6827Did you ask my father about him?
6827Did you ever run it before?
6827Did you hear it?
6827Do n''t you think we''ve wasted enough time, without losing some more by going back?
6827Do we get a front seat at the circus when the man puts his head in the lion''s mouth-- and a ride on the elephant?
6827Do you care if we come over and look along the shore of the island?
6827Do you have to have such skilled mechanics to make those repairs?
6827Do you hear anything?
6827Do you know what I think?
6827Do you suppose Mr. Aikens took the mill boat?
6827Do you suppose,he began with a kind of despairing eagerness,"that he could have stayed in the boat?"
6827Do you think it''s a sin to steal?
6827Do you think it''s wrong to punish criminals?
6827Do you_ need_ me along, Jerry?
6827Down river?
6827Eats?
6827Eh? 6827 Eh?"
6827Ever been over this road before?
6827Fall down? 6827 Find her?
6827Get them? 6827 Got any plan?"
6827Groaning? 6827 Guessing, huh?
6827Have all the river towns been telegraphed?
6827Have any trouble?
6827Have you seen anything of our friend?
6827He swims well, does n''t he?
6827How can we do it? 6827 How did he happen to get into this?"
6827How do you know then that this is the right road?
6827How far do you s''pose the boat''s drifted by now, Jerry?
6827I believe that Tod Fulton is----"Not alive?
6827I s''pose I''ll have to stay here and help the Scouts mount guard over the relics here-- when will you be back?
6827I say, Phil,he called guardedly;"you ready to listen to the wildest kind of a notion?"
6827I suppose you came to look for a lock of hair from your drowned friend''s head?
6827Is a half million dollars worth while?
6827Is he alive?
6827Is there a gun in the house?
6827Is your mind wandering, or what? 6827 It belongs to Mr. Fulton, I suppose?"
6827It seems a shame----began Tod, when they were once more outside, then asked abruptly:"Willing to take a licking, Jerry?"
6827It turned in toward the river, did n''t it? 6827 Jerry, do n''t you think we''d better be getting on home?"
6827Know anybody there by the name of Tod Fulton? 6827 Looks like some big crouching animal, does n''t it?"
6827Lost Island?
6827Luck was sure breaking our way this morning, was n''t it?
6827Lunch time already?
6827Mind if I come out and try my luck beside you?
6827Mr. Billings came and got you, did n''t he?
6827Mr. Fulton just came home, pa, and Tod told me to tell him----"Guess it''ll keep till morning, wo n''t it? 6827 Not swearing, I take it?"
6827Noticed? 6827 Now what?"
6827Oh, well, the machine''s still here, so why grouch over a couple hours''sleep?
6827Oh, you here, too, little one?
6827On Lost Island?
6827Phil Fulton and his Boy Scouts----"My nephew, you mean, from Chester? 6827 Put''em in jail you mean?"
6827Shall I tie you up?
6827Shall we call?
6827Shall we risk going closer?
6827Suppose it does get dark: there''s such a thing as flying by night, is n''t there? 6827 Suppose my mother wo n''t let me?"
6827Suppose you tell her we''ve got to go and get our boat? 6827 Supposing,"hesitated Dave,"supposing the boat''s grounded on Lost Island itself----""It''s the boat we''re looking for, is n''t it?"
6827That you, Jerry? 6827 Then what you after him for-- if he''s your chum?"
6827They? 6827 Think I''m going to let you go up alone, with a twisted wing that might give out?"
6827To the island? 6827 Tod could help a lot, and I suppose you are one of the dubs, but where are the rest?"
6827Tod----he gasped--"where''s Tod?"
6827Trying to get onto it? 6827 Two hours at a stretch, turn and turn about?"
6827Two men, you say? 6827 Wake me up at twelve, will you, ma?"
6827Want it?
6827Watch the old_ Skyrocket_ till I get back, will you, Jerry?
6827Water sure is filling up, is n''t she? 6827 We could swim, could n''t we?"
6827We- l- l-- Son, can you make a stretcher?
6827Well what? 6827 Well, what I want to know is: How did it get out?
6827Well, what in thunder''s Fulton got in a safe that any robber would want?
6827Well, what''s the idea of our coming over here every night to sleep, when there''s oodles of room there on Lost Island, where we''re needed? 6827 Well, who does?"
6827Well?
6827Were you scared?
6827Wha-- what bucket?
6827What are they made of? 6827 What are you doing, son?"
6827What can we do?
6827What difference does it make to you? 6827 What difference does that make, if they''ve already got the blueprints''?"
6827What do you mean? 6827 What has happened?"
6827What in the world do you mean?
6827What is it, Tod?
6827What is it-- a riot?
6827What is it? 6827 What is it?"
6827What is it?
6827What next? 6827 What was that?"
6827What was the matter with you back there on the island? 6827 What will you say to your conscience when your enemy drops destruction onto your brave countrymen in the trenches from the Fulton Aeroplane?
6827What ye driving at? 6827 What you going to do, Jerry?
6827What''ll it be?
6827What''s all the excitement?
6827What''s eating you? 6827 What''s got into you?"
6827What''s happened?
6827What''s happened?
6827What''s that''huh''? 6827 What''s that?"
6827What''s that?
6827What''s that?
6827What''s the cause of the delay now?
6827What''s the idea?
6827What''s the idea?
6827What''s the matter with you, Dave?
6827What''s the matter, Phil?
6827What''s the meaning of that rumpus out there?
6827What''s the program?
6827What''s the trouble?
6827What? 6827 What?"
6827Where are you-- so I can call you back?
6827Where can you?
6827Where were you, that you knew there were two of us?
6827Where will I find you after breakfast?
6827Where you going to turn in?
6827Where''s dad?
6827Where''s the morning gone to?
6827Where''s your boat?
6827Where-- where''d you learn to do things like that?
6827Who could n''t?
6827Who''s going to help you handle it? 6827 Who''s the best swimmer in the crowd?"
6827Why in thunder did n''t you wake us in time so I could have got a drink?
6827Why locked in, if Mr. Billings had gone to bring your father? 6827 Why not just get into our boat and row over?
6827Why not take her all apart while we''re at it, Jerry?
6827Why not take the boat and go down the middle?
6827Why, Frank Ellery, seventh son of a seventh son? 6827 Why, nothing, Jerry----""Then what you talking about going on home when I''m running down a clew like that?"
6827Will you promise me to come back and let me pick the birdshot out of you after you''ve made a landing on Lost Island?
6827Wing?
6827Wonder what that man was doing on Lost Island?
6827You came alone?
6827You came in the airship?
6827You do n''t mean to tell me that you''re hungry?
6827You mean_ bass_ lake, do n''t you?
6827You remember last week when we were out, and the storm caught us and pretty nearly swamped the boat? 6827 You think he''ll try to patch up the_ Skyrocket?_"asked Jerry.
6827You think_ they_ did it?
6827You waiting for gasoline?
6827You will snore away like six buzz- saws on circus day, huh?
6827You wo n''t mind if I do n''t get back till late?
6827You''re going to swim over, are n''t you, Jerry? 6827 You''re surely not going to make us try to swim it?"
6827You?
6827Your wetting did n''t tame you down any, did it? 6827 _ Dave!_ Dave-- do you remember?
6827_ Where_ is he? 6827 A sin? 6827 Afraid you''d up and rescue yourself?
6827All set now?
6827And an officer''s been looking for you----""Police?"
6827And if you got hold of that boat- seat, for instance, you''d pretty near hang on, would n''t you?
6827And leave the machine here for anybody to come along and study out-- or steal?
6827And why, why had Mr. Fulton laughed at Jerry''s story-- and yet followed his clue in this stealthy way?
6827Anybody got any objections?
6827Are we going to let them?"
6827Are you game to go along?"
6827At last Phil quieted down his dancing mob and put the question Jerry had been awaiting:"How did you do it?"
6827At the same time he was conscious of a disappointed feeling in his heart; why could it not have been the United States that had bought the invention?
6827Boy Scout for sir?"
6827But if they could steal the plans in the meanwhile-- get me?"
6827But suppose somebody just ahead of you made it his business to buy the hundred-- how about that?"
6827But what became of your friend-- if there_ were_ two of you?"
6827But who was the man in the boat?
6827But-- but-- how do you know?
6827Can you blame us for being sore?"
6827Carry my clothes along the bank, will you?
6827Dave, do you mean to tell me you did n''t hear what the man said?"
6827Did he go after a doctor?"
6827Did n''t you hear him say:''Where was young Fulton drowned?''"
6827Did you get the doctor?"
6827Did you see it?
6827Did you think we were going any other way?
6827Do n''t you see?
6827Do n''t you understand?
6827Do you blame us for wanting to lay you out?"
6827First off he''d try to bale her out, would n''t he?
6827For, why should Tod be rescued in this weird fashion?
6827Going along, Dave-- with me?"
6827Harris?"
6827Have you found his-- his body?"
6827He here?
6827He''s a cousin of mine-- why, what''s the matter?"
6827His eyebrows almost met in a frown as he repeated mechanically:"On Lost Island, you say?
6827Hopes?
6827How about it, Jerry?"
6827How are we going to get over?"
6827How do we know?"
6827How far have we gone?"
6827How many times did you fall down?"
6827How''s the knife brigade coming on?"
6827Huh?"
6827Hustle up, Tod-- what you standing there gaping for?"
6827I heard Daisy going on out here like the devil before day-- or was it you two who were pestering her?
6827I laugh like a billygoat, do I?
6827I suppose I could get him, but just what are these Boy Scouts?"
6827In fact, I rather enjoyed your little visit-- though I will admit you scared me a bit when you held the knob of the door to the hangar----""Hangar?
6827Is that a go, Tod?"
6827Is yet, is n''t he, Tod?"
6827It''s a good ten inches from the top-- how full would it have been when she popped up from under the falls at the dam?"
6827It''s about time for the boys to-- listen to those Indians, would you?
6827Jerry repeated, puzzled, to himself:"Left plane-- what in thunder''s that?"
6827Jerry votes for the dam, do n''t you, Jerry?"
6827Jerry yelled, louder this time,"and get her level?"
6827Just outside the ring of light cast by the deserted camp fire, however, Jerry halted and asked:"Thought what you''ll tell_ them?_""Why, no.
6827Me groaning?
6827Never heard of the Boy Scouts?"
6827No?
6827Of-- of Tod?"
6827Remember how you always used to be telling Tod and me to grin hardest when we were getting licked worst?"
6827Ring?"
6827Shall we get your dad?"
6827Shall we go on?"
6827Some scheme, eh?"
6827Suppose there was no one there-- had been no one there?
6827Suppose we could come down in your back lot?
6827Suppose_ they_ are at the house by now?"
6827That friend of yours could n''t very well be on my island without my knowing it, could he?"
6827There are n''t any falls down this way, are there?"
6827There''s at least a mile of bare copper wire about the place-- what you two standing with your mouths wide open for?
6827They were perhaps halfway across when Jerry asked, anxiously, it seemed:"Ca n''t you get any more speed out of her, fellows?"
6827Think you''re going to have the nerve to go up with me, son?"
6827This?"
6827Tod, take a squint at the sun-- five- thirty, is n''t it?
6827Two blooming foreigners trying to steal an airship out of Mr. Fulton''s safe down there in his cellar-- wasn''t that what you said, boys?"
6827Want to hear it?
6827We can tell that chump over there----""Thought you told us good Scouts were always respectful to our elders?"
6827Well, then, Boss Jerry, what''s orders?"
6827What do you think?"
6827What does it all mean?"
6827What good would it do them?"
6827What in tarnation you up to anyhow?"
6827What in thunder''s got into you?
6827What kind of fish can you take in old Roundy after eight o''clock?"
6827What new bug has bitten you?"
6827What say we sneak back, see if there''s a gun at the cabin, and take them by surprise when they start burglarizing the hangar?"
6827What shall we do?
6827What was that thing that just sailed over the house?
6827What you kids doing?"
6827What you mean, fall down?
6827What you trying to hide, you two?"
6827What''d we say if we came back with a bag of pot metal for our money?"
6827What''ll you say?"
6827What''s fishing got to do with it?"
6827What''s next?"
6827What''s orders?"
6827What''s our plan?"
6827What''s that contraption you''re sitting on?"
6827What''s that pinned to your blanket?"
6827What''s that?"
6827What''s the idea?
6827What''s your plan?"
6827When''d your dad get to be an inventor?"
6827Where are we now?"
6827Where are you from, anyhow?"
6827Where away, boatman?"
6827Where do you put it all?"
6827Where in thunder are all those boys?"
6827Where is he?"
6827Where was young Fulton drowned, anyway?"
6827Where''d you get onto it?"
6827Where''ll we land?"
6827Where''ll you try it, below or above?
6827Where''s the nearest farmhouse?"
6827Who is_ she_--and where?
6827Who was the other hero?"
6827Who''s going along with me?"
6827Who''s got a heavy knife with a sharp big blade in it?"
6827Who''s the goat you had in mind?"
6827Why did n''t you invite them into the house, son?
6827Why had the man refused to let Tod''s friends come on the island?
6827Why should n''t he ask that?"
6827Why, Jerry?"
6827Why?"
6827Will you buy the machine and the idea on approval?
6827Will you do this?
6827Will you leave it to me?"
6827Wo n''t you fellows go along with me?
6827Wood?"
6827Would the man never get there?
6827You say you do n''t belong on the island?"
6827You told me you''d let me go camping with the bunch, do n''t you remember?
6827You were n''t_ on_ Lost Island, were you?"
6827You will not be long?"
6827You''ll blow the factory whistle when it''s time to get up, wo n''t you?"
6827cried Mr. Fulton, despair in his voice,"do n''t you see?
6827shouted Phil,"where''s the meat- axe?"
21794A charge of attempted pocket picking?
21794A tenderfoot?
21794A visit?
21794Ah you have business there, I suppose?
21794Ah, how are you, Baker?
21794Ah, in the jewelry line, eh?
21794An accident? 21794 And are most of them rented?"
21794And did he?
21794And how are Sutton and Hynard?
21794And perhaps you know what the expenses are, the taxes, the water rent, the insurance and so forth?
21794And you refused?
21794Are n''t rents rather high here?
21794Are n''t there policemen there?
21794Are n''t you from out Painted Stone way, in Colorado?
21794Are n''t you rather young to go in business?
21794Are the tenants good pay?
21794Are they getting the cattle in good shape? 21794 Are we on a boat?"
21794Are you going far?
21794Are you going to travel in this car?
21794Are you going?
21794Berth?
21794But how can you spare the time from your business?
21794But how long is this tunnel, anyhow?
21794But how will they know I did it?
21794But suppose they kidnap him again?
21794But what happened? 21794 But why should this man whom I held-- this Wakely-- want the other to warn Annister about some one escaping?"
21794Ca n''t I help you, Billy?
21794Ca n''t I help you, Billy?
21794Ca n''t I kiss the nice boy, mother?
21794Can I do anything for you?
21794Can it be that every one in New York is dishonest? 21794 Can you give me an idea of what the rents are for such offices as are vacant?"
21794Cut loose? 21794 De Royster?
21794Did I see you playing some game with those men just now?
21794Did you come down here to take the train?
21794Did you do any business in this section?
21794Did you hear what the fellow, whom I was holding, said just before he got away?
21794Did you like them? 21794 Did you manage to pick up anything?"
21794Did you sleep well last night?
21794Did you think you were going to die?
21794Dinner?
21794Do n''t you like ice water?
21794Do n''t you want one of us to go with you?
21794Do you carry a valuable stock?
21794Do you know them?
21794Do you own the building?
21794Do you really think Annister could have gotten it into his possession?
21794Do you think so?
21794Do you think you are well enough for me to leave you?
21794Do you think you can make Mr. Annister give back the money he has wrongfully kept?
21794Do you want to make a charge against these two?
21794Excuse me, sah,broke in the colored man, addressing De Royster,"but has youh a ticket for dis parlor car?"
21794Got your gun?
21794Guess you''re from out West, ai n''t you?
21794Have n''t I met you somewhere before?
21794Have you got him?
21794Have you no cheaper offices than these?
21794How am I going all the way to New York without shoes? 21794 How are you, old chap?
21794How are you?
21794How are you?
21794How are you?
21794How can it get in the papers?
21794How did you know I was here?
21794How do I know but what you''re all of one gang?
21794How do you account for the rents being less, then?
21794How do you do?
21794How do you find trade?
21794How do you work it?
21794How many offices, or sets of offices, have you in this building? 21794 How?
21794How?
21794I s''pose they charge about two dollars for grub like this?
21794I suppose you must have pretty good eyesight, have n''t you?
21794I wonder how I can do it?
21794I wonder how I''ll make out?
21794I wonder how everyone knows I''m a tenderfoot when it comes to traveling on railroad trains?
21794I wonder if I can break it open, or work the lock?
21794I wonder if I can find out what it is, and spoil it? 21794 I wonder if the fellow who did n''t get my money, took my shoes for spite?"
21794I wonder if this is it?
21794I wonder what I had better do?
21794I wonder what he meant?
21794I wonder what his object is?
21794I wonder what they''re going to do about bunks?
21794I wonder what''s the matter?
21794I wonder who I pay?
21794I wonder why he did n''t have me call at his office? 21794 Is Mr. Annister in?"
21794Is Mr. Ketchum in this building?
21794Is New York larger than Chicago?
21794Is Roy here?
21794Is he-- was he very bad?
21794Is it for yourself?
21794Is it?
21794Is mine ready?
21794Is that you, Roy?
21794Is that your handkerchief on the floor behind you?
21794Is this for regular passengers?
21794Kidnap you? 21794 Larger?
21794Matter? 21794 Mother, is that the boy who caught the naughty horsie?"
21794My hide off? 21794 New York?
21794No? 21794 Now I wonder why she said that?"
21794Now where is it?
21794Now, since your business is all attended to, why ca n''t you stay in New York a few weeks longer, and see more of the sights?
21794Oh, he''s all right now; are n''t you, old fellow?
21794Oh, you mean a bunk?
21794On a ranch? 21794 Pack mule?"
21794Perhaps you know how much I take in as rent for the offices in that building?
21794Rope you? 21794 Say, stranger, does it often break loose and go on a stampede that way?"
21794Say, what do you think he goin''to do? 21794 So you are Roy Bradner, son of James Bradner, eh?"
21794So you think I''m rustling medicine, eh?
21794So, you''re awake, are you?
21794Something good?
21794Stampede? 21794 Stampeded?"
21794Station?
21794Swindlers? 21794 That did n''t work, did it?"
21794That''s so, and I guess you have to be pretty quick to distinguish the different branding marks, do n''t you?
21794The subway?
21794Then are you kidnapping me, and holding me for a ransom?
21794Then what would you advise me to do?
21794Then why am I not there-- in my own room?
21794Then you confess you swindled this boy, and his father?
21794Then you think I forged my father''s name?
21794Then you will come? 21794 To New York?
21794Traveling is rather dull, is n''t it?'' 21794 Tunnel?
21794Wait on yourself?
21794Want to give Roy a scare? 21794 Was he going to take the property?"
21794Was n''t it? 21794 Well, did you see the offices?"
21794Well, sport, how about you?
21794Well, what do you want?
21794What Wild West show are you from? 21794 What am I going to do?"
21794What are you going to do?
21794What are you going to do?
21794What are you, anyhow? 21794 What are your next plans?"
21794What did I tell you?
21794What did I tell you?
21794What did he say?
21794What did you do?
21794What do I care for my gloves?
21794What do they rent for?
21794What do you intend to do?
21794What do you mean?
21794What do you propose doing, dad? 21794 What do you think about it?
21794What for?
21794What happened?
21794What is it, father?
21794What is the charge?
21794What is the name?
21794What kind?
21794What ranch were you on?
21794What sort of a fellow was this Wakely?
21794What sort of a talk, father?
21794What time is Ike going to try it?
21794What was it?
21794What would you like to do this afternoon?
21794What you want is my advice as to how next to proceed; is n''t it?
21794What''d you have?
21794What''s de matter, sah?
21794What''s going on?
21794What''s that you said, young man?
21794What''s that, sah? 21794 What''s that?
21794What''s that?
21794What''s that?
21794What''s that?
21794What''s the charge against these two, then?
21794What''s the damage?
21794What''s the matter now?
21794What''s the matter, Billy?
21794What''s the matter, old chap?
21794What''s the matter? 21794 What''s the matter?
21794What''s the matter?
21794What''s the matter?
21794What''s the trouble there, Number twenty- six?
21794What''s your name?
21794What''s your plan, dad?
21794What? 21794 When did this note come?"
21794Where am I; and what do you want?
21794Where are they?
21794Where are you going to stop in New York?
21794Where are you going?
21794Where did you learn to stop runaway horses?
21794Where is it located?
21794Which shell is the ball under?
21794Who against?
21794Who is he?
21794Who owns it?
21794Who was the friend?
21794Who''s your friend?
21794Why do n''t you have the hotel doctor look at him?
21794Why is this?
21794Why not?
21794Why; do n''t you want any one to know you''re in New York?
21794Will you sit at my table?
21794Will you-- er-- Mr. Bradner? 21794 Wonder what he wants?
21794Would you have done so?
21794Would you say it was a healthy sort of life?
21794Wrong corral, sah?
21794You are, eh? 21794 You have n''t any work that you want done; have you?"
21794You have n''t got any of these out West; have you?
21794You have no cheaper offices you could let Mr. De Royster have?
21794You must hail from New York then?
21794You took''em? 21794 You want me to go to New York, dad?"
21794You''re not going to lock me up, are you?
21794You''re not going to prosecute me, are you, Roy Bradner? 21794 Your first trip East?"
21794Your grub and bunk?
21794Are you two traveling far?"
21794As soon as we saw you standing here, my friend, Mr. Sutton, said to me,''Where have I seen that distinguished looking gentleman before?''
21794Be three days on the home trail?"
21794Besides, how do I know that your father sent you to make these inquiries?
21794Bradner?"
21794But I guess you found I was looking after your interests; did n''t you?
21794But I say, my dear chap, where are you going?
21794But how had it been done without his knowledge?
21794But tell me; how is Billy, and the boys?"
21794But what do you know of him?"
21794But what for?
21794By the way,"he went on,"you could n''t lend me fifty dollars; could you?

21794Ca n''t you get a lawyer to see him, and find out if he is cheating you?"
21794Ca n''t you manage him?"
21794Can you let me have it?"
21794Can you tell me where the Bowery is?"
21794Charming evening, is n''t it?
21794Did I get hurt?
21794Did it scare you?"
21794Did n''t you, Sutton?"
21794Did the hotel catch fire?
21794Did they bring me here?"
21794Did youh think I done stole''em, sah?"
21794Do n''t you know no better than that?"
21794Do you intend to remain in the city long?"
21794Do you know a good lawyer?"
21794Do you mean to tell me they run trains up in the air, on a track, and they do n''t fall off?"
21794Do you think you can get him, and take him, say to some nearby town, or even some place in New York and keep him there for two weeks?
21794Going far?"
21794Have n''t you got any of your own?"
21794Have you a lasso with you?"
21794Have you any offices to rent in that building?"
21794Have you heard from your father since writing to him about Annister?"
21794He certainly is a nice chap, and I wonder what could have made him ill so suddenly?
21794He had all the proof he needed; but what would be the outcome?
21794How are you?"
21794How dare you address me in that manner?"
21794How did you manage it?"
21794How do I know you are Roy Bradner?
21794How is he?"
21794I wonder if I can escape?"
21794I wonder if I can hire a pack mule, or get a stage driver to bring it up?"
21794I wonder if Porter was afraid to tell me the truth?"
21794I wonder if the train would wait long enough until I could send one of the porters to a store for a pair of shoes?
21794I wonder if they bring you in sandwiches and coffee, as they did to a party I went to?
21794I wonder where they would send it?"
21794I wonder who that fellow was?"
21794If I told you to go back to where the boys were rounding- up the cattle, you could do it; could n''t you?"
21794Is anybody killed?"
21794Is it my father--?"
21794Ketchum?"
21794Let''s see, which way is North?"
21794My boy, do you know what that game is called?"
21794Now what sort of business could dad have that he would need me in such a hurry?"
21794Now where is he stopping?"
21794Now who is this boy you want taken away?"
21794Or do you have to go up and help yourself?
21794Or one of them long- necked giraffes?
21794Perhaps you can suggest some one?"
21794Roy Bradner, the boy from Triple O ranch?"
21794Say, but how did you get here, anyhow?"
21794Say, what''s all the stampede about?
21794See that sign?"
21794Selling patent medicine or some Indian cure?"
21794Should he confront Caleb Annister with the evidence of his dishonesty, or would it be better to wait a while?
21794Smoke, will you pack me a little grub?"
21794So that''s the game; is it?"
21794So you''re back from your trip?"
21794Something in the boy''s manner prompted the man to ask:"Can I do anything fo''youh, sah?
21794Soon a porter came in to him, examined his ticket, and asked:"Do youh wish youh berth made up now, sah?"
21794Suppose we get out and see what the trouble is?"
21794Suppose we go to your room?"
21794THE BOY FROM THE RANCH CHAPTER I ROY RECEIVES A MESSAGE"Hi there, Low Bull, ruste[ Transcriber''s note: rustle?]
21794The lady saw his hesitation and exclaimed:"What?
21794Then, as he understood the situation, and Roy''s embarrassment, he said:"Suppose I order for both of us?
21794These folks are milling, ai n''t they?"
21794Wakely?"
21794Want to go to sleep on the trail?"
21794Was dem nicely dressed gen''men swindlers?"
21794We were just going to give him a good room-- er-- ahem, Mr. Bradner, will you please register?"
21794What are you going to do now?"
21794What did yew think?"
21794What do we get for it?"
21794What do you mean by milling?"
21794What do you mean?"
21794What do you think we had better do?"
21794What does it all mean, Roy?
21794What right have you taking my shoes?
21794What sort of a room would you like?"
21794What was his name?
21794What was the matter?"
21794What''s the matter with you?
21794What''s your business?"
21794When are you going back?"
21794When do you want me to start?"
21794Where are we going to camp to- night?"
21794Where did Porter find you?"
21794Where did you think you were?"
21794Where''s the regular coach?"
21794Who brought this?"
21794Who was he?"
21794Why did they take you a prisoner?"
21794Why had this man gotten him in his power?
21794Why should I be afraid of him?
21794Why, my dear fellow, what do you mean?"
21794Will you call me a cab?"
21794Will you?"
21794Would you like to look at it?
21794Yet how could Roy get out of the window and to the ground?
21794You are a son of Van Dyke De Royster, the great New York banker; are you not?"
21794You are going to open an office, perhaps?"
21794You do n''t know where you''re going to stop, do you?"
21794You hesitate on account of not wanting to soil my gloves?
21794You know who he was, do n''t you?"
21794You''ll have the money, I suppose?"
21794You''re not going there; are you?"
21794Youh ai n''t goin to sit up all night, be youh?
21794[ Illustration:"I think you''ll stay there for a while,"said Wakely]"But what right have you got to bring me here?"
21794what is it then?
43584A big city is grand, is n''t it?
43584A detective?
43584About somebody''s Christmas present? 43584 And did you enjoy your dinner?"
43584And does everybody call you by both names?
43584And were the other watches stolen the same day?
43584And were there any transients here at that time?
43584And what became of the girls?
43584And what good will your career be to you then?
43584And what is its name?
43584And you believed her?
43584And you could go home?
43584Anything gone?
43584Are the Weinbergers still here?
43584Are there any empty houses she might have rented?
43584Are you a guest at the hotel, miss?
43584Are you responsible for this?
43584Are you sure you''re all right?
43584Because we''re such pretty girls?
43584But I do n''t have to write my name in my books the minute I get them, do I?
43584But how did you get out of that house?
43584But how did you happen to have the key, Margaret?
43584But if Mrs. Ferguson really is a crook, why should she write all her plans to a prisoner, when she would know that the letter would be censored?
43584But she feels encouraged since you found two of the thieves, does n''t she?
43584But what are you going to do?
43584But what finally led you to suspect her?
43584But where is she?
43584But why should she hide? 43584 But why?"
43584But with that change at the Junction, we''d have to wait all night, should n''t we, Daddy?
43584But you did n''t lose anything, did you?
43584But you really do n''t think you''ll do dangerous things again, do you, Mary Lou?
43584Can I have your help?
43584Can I help you?
43584Can I see you tonight?

43584Can we have a doctor immediately?
43584Can you climb that hill, Max?
43584Can you get me a photographer?
43584Can you imagine me-- one lone fellow-- in that dining room full of dames? 43584 Can you take me to the constable?
43584Could I see the manager?
43584Could n''t we break in?
43584Could n''t you arrest her?
43584Could we take a mechanic to fix my car, too?
43584Could you describe her?
43584Did he have a gun?
43584Did n''t Margaret say anything in her letter about how she was getting on or what she was doing?
43584Did n''t Mrs. Ferguson tell you?
43584Did n''t she send her address?
43584Did n''t you write to her?
43584Did she give you a salary?
43584Did she hear from her daughter?
43584Did that man open the door for you?
43584Did you advertise?
43584Did you fellows really get it?
43584Did you get your salary-- your twenty- five bucks?
43584Did you girls ever meet a girl named Margaret Detweiler, from Riverside? 43584 Did you have a good time, dear?"
43584Did you have a good time?
43584Did you search for the burglar in her room too?
43584Did you see anybody?
43584Did you talk to Miss Stoddard?
43584Do n''t you want to think it over another day? 43584 Do you feel nervous after last night?
43584Do you mean to say that you did steal, Margaret?
43584Do you still have the envelope?
43584Do you think the snow''s packed hard enough?
43584Do you think there''s any chance of your getting home for Christmas?
43584Do you think you''ll be back tonight?
43584Do you want the names of the maids?
43584Does she know that you suspect her daughter, Mary Louise?
43584Does she play?
43584Even her own mother''s watch?
43584Had n''t we better go back to my house, where it''s warm, till your car is fixed, Miss Gay?
43584Has anything been stolen since their arrival?
43584Has anything happened since I left?
43584Have you ever stayed at Stoddard House before?
43584Have you seen the girls-- Pauline Brooks and Mary Green?
43584Here? 43584 How about Miss Stoddard?"
43584How about my money?
43584How are you? 43584 How are you?"
43584How can I tell them what has happened? 43584 How did her mother take it?"
43584How did they get the money-- it was five hundred dollars, was n''t it?--so soon?
43584How did you know I''d be so glad to see you?
43584How did you know, Mary Lou?
43584How did your entertainment go?
43584How many watches?
43584How much do you charge?
43584How old a woman is she?
43584How''s the head?
43584I suppose Mrs. Hilliard told you?
43584I suppose it will be all right, then,agreed Mrs. Hilliard reluctantly...."What are your immediate plans, dear?"
43584I understand you want to ask me about Miss Detweiler?
43584I----"You been in the house now?
43584If Hortense Weinberger really is married,said Mary Louise,"do n''t you suppose her mother will hear about it tomorrow?
43584In the hotel? 43584 Is Center Square far away?"
43584Is Miss Brooks here?
43584Is Mr. Hayden here?
43584Is n''t that where you got that blow on your head?
43584Is she any relation of the founder?
43584Is that what you came here for, Max Miller?
43584Is there a Mrs. Ferguson staying here?
43584Is this the stamp album?
43584Is your aunt''s place at Center Square?
43584It''s all right now, is n''t it, Daddy?
43584Mary Lou,he asked,"you''re not doing any more detective stuff, are you?
43584Mary Louise, could you do an errand for me? 43584 Max and Norman?"
43584May I go to the hotel with you?
43584May I offer my congratulations?
43584May I sit with you, Miss Gay?
43584Meet me here in an hour?
43584Men are helpful sometimes, are n''t they?
43584Mrs. Ferguson-- is she in jail too?
43584Must we use handcuffs?
43584Never at Stoddard House?
43584Now the great question is: would you want to give up your holiday for this purpose? 43584 Now, can you tell me just what was stolen?"
43584Now, what do you want a photographer for?
43584Now, what will your plans be for tomorrow?
43584Of course, it will be late, but I''ll give you your other present first, so you would n''t mind that, would you, Mary Lou?
43584Oh, Mary Lou, did you take them?
43584Oh, how can I ever thank you enough?
43584Or have you an appointment?
43584Ready, Daddy?
43584Recently?
43584Sha n''t I ask the Walder girls to take you along? 43584 Shall I?"
43584She never came back here to Stoddard House?
43584She owes you money?
43584She was n''t home all summer, was she, Mother?
43584Somebody had''planted''it there?
43584Suppose I go there about midnight, Miss Gay? 43584 The boys there yet?"
43584This it?
43584To collect damages?
43584Want to see the gang''s picture?
43584Was a Mrs. Brooks staying here at the time?
43584Was she sent to prison?
43584Well, we''ll see.... Now, do n''t you think you had better go to bed?
43584Were you asleep, sir?
43584Were you out at Center Square last Sunday, Margaret?
43584What are you going to do now?
43584What are you going to do with all that money, Sis?
43584What can I do for you today?
43584What could I do with her if I did find her?
43584What did you do?
43584What do you say we dance?
43584What do you say, Hayden?
43584What do you say, Mary Lou? 43584 What guy?"
43584What happened?
43584What in thunder are you doing that for?
43584What is her name?
43584What is the trouble, my girl?
43584What name, please?
43584What store was she working in? 43584 What time is it now, I wonder?"
43584What time is it, anyway?
43584What time is it?
43584What were theirs like?
43584What would your plan be, Miss Gay?
43584What''s that?
43584When did you first miss the money?
43584When would I start?
43584Where are we, Max?
43584Where did they go?
43584Where do you expect to look for the leader of this gang?
43584Where is the hotel, Daddy?
43584Where was the letter postmarked?
43584Where were you, Ida, when I sent for you?
43584Where''s that?
43584Where? 43584 Where?"
43584Who do you think did all the stealing, Miss Stoddard?
43584Who is it?
43584Who is your daughter?
43584Who was he, Margaret?
43584Who-- are-- you?
43584Whom do I thank for this?
43584Why could n''t you plan to go with her?
43584Why the rush?
43584Will you bring your knitting or your magazine to my room till you''re ready to go to bed?
43584Will you stay here with me while I eat my dinner, Mary Louise?
43584Will you suggest something youthful?
43584Will you take charge of it till I can bring my father up to get it? 43584 Would n''t you ever tell on me?"
43584Would you be good enough to take care of Mary Louise-- introduce her to any of the other guests who come in-- Miss Brooks? 43584 Would you be kind enough to ring him up and ask him to come here while I eat my lunch in the dining room?
43584Would you have last year''s register?
43584You do n''t eat at your house before six- thirty, do you?
43584You do n''t want to break up the party, do you?
43584You have n''t any idea where Margaret went-- or what she did?
43584You have n''t evidence enough to convict them of the robberies at Stoddard House?
43584You have never come across a girl named Margaret Detweiler, have you, Miss Horton?
43584You heard that my daughter is married, Miss Gay?
43584You mean besides last night?
43584You mean that they''ll drive down for us?
43584You mean you want to go home, Mary Louise?
43584You never heard anything about those watches, did you?
43584You one of Mrs. Ferguson''s girls?
43584You remember her, do n''t you?
43584You saw me come out of that pawnshop yesterday, did n''t you, Miss Gay?
43584You think that young man is guilty? 43584 You''ll go to the senior prom with me?"
43584You''ll leave the solving of mysteries and crimes to your father hereafter, wo n''t you?
43584You''re a schoolgirl?
43584You''re home to stay, darling?
43584You''re not going to follow me everywhere I go, are you?
43584You-- are-- going to arrest me?
43584All those engagements you have-- all the fun you have planned with your young friends?
43584An accident?"
43584And another thing, can you tell me where Mrs. Weinberger''s room is?
43584And for what?
43584And if you have a chance, Mr. Hayden, will you keep your eye on these girls we''re suspecting?"
43584And perhaps you brought your knitting?"
43584And what was the date?"
43584And will you please let me pay the bill-- out of my salary?
43584Are they all members of a secret band of thieves?
43584Are you alive?"
43584Are you alive?"
43584Are you very busy?"
43584Are you willing to try it?"
43584Baltimore is tiresome, and I''ll be glad to leave.__ Love,__ Aunt Ethel._"May I make another copy of this letter?"
43584But do you really think it would do you any good to go there?
43584But have n''t you had enough, little girl?
43584But shall we be in time?"
43584But what will you do at the Ritz, Daddy?"
43584But why did you ask that, Mary Lou?"
43584CHAPTER X_ In the Dead of Night_"How about a movie?"
43584Christmas Day alone in a strange city?
43584Could she have gone to the movies with any of the girls, do you think?"
43584Could you ask her to spare me a minute or two?"
43584Could you be watching then?"
43584Did a young woman named Margaret Detweiler ever register here?"
43584Did n''t you tell me the employment manager promised not to send her to jail?"
43584Did you ever hear of that store?"
43584Did you question her about Ida''s story?"
43584Did you see the man, Miss Stoddard?"
43584Do you know where he lives?"
43584Do you play, Mary Lou?"
43584Do you think that would be too much trouble?"
43584Doing what?"
43584Gay, turning to his daughter,"did this aunt of Pauline''s live when she was in Philadelphia?"
43584Gay?"
43584Had someone come in?
43584Have n''t I been pretty good all fall?
43584Have you any in Center Square?"
43584Have you anything valuable here?"
43584Have you told Mother yet?"
43584Hayden?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584Hilliard?"
43584How about you, Mary Lou?"
43584How could she possibly get to know so many people in the short space of two weeks and hope to find the thief?
43584How did it happen?"
43584How did you ever come to suspect those girls?"
43584How do you feel?"
43584How do you like this weather for your vacation?"
43584How is your head now?"
43584How stupid of me.... Well, could you tell me whether any ladies''watches have been pawned here since midnight last night?"
43584I thought you were at the Ritz?"
43584I''ll get an Ingersoll tomorrow when I''m in town.... Now, what time is it?"
43584If everything had turned out all right, why had n''t Margaret written to her grandparents?
43584If she refused, might n''t he knock her down?
43584If she were behaving herself, would n''t she have written to her grandparents?
43584If so, how did he escape from the hotel?
43584In what other country would they detain innocent girls?__ Baltimore is where I am now, but I am leaving immediately for a trip to Florida.
43584In what other country would they detain innocent girls?__ Baltimore is where I am now, but I am leaving immediately for a trip to Florida.
43584Is Miss Weinberger''s friend like that?"
43584Is it?
43584Is n''t there something she left that I could take over to her, to use for an excuse?"
43584Is that O.K.?"
43584Is that correct?"
43584It knocked you out.... Now, can you manage to walk up to the hotel, or shall I carry you?"
43584It''s pretty good, do n''t you think?"
43584Looking me over and snickering at the way I wear my hair or tie my shoes?
43584Macgregor?"
43584Macgregor?"
43584Max, could we go to the Bellevue for lunch?
43584May I come in, Miss Stoddard?"
43584May we come in?"
43584Now what in the world could she do?
43584Now-- what would you say to a dance while we wait for our first course?"
43584Oh, what on earth could she do?
43584Oh, why had n''t she rushed down to see who was doing it?
43584Or do you want a typewriter?"
43584Out of Pauline''s window?
43584Remember-- I thought it was a man who stole my watch, though he did seem awfully small?
43584She''s been terribly worried, Mary Lou.... And shall I tell her that we''ll eat Christmas dinner with her at Stoddard House?"
43584So will you go back with me and arrest him, Constable Hodge?"
43584Solved your mystery yet?"
43584The solution seemed logical and plausible, yet how, Mary Louise asked herself, could she prove her accusations?
43584The startled voice of a man called out,"What do you want?"
43584There is n''t anybody by that name around here, is there?"
43584Was Margaret Detweiler connected with this gang?
43584Was it the Margaret whom Mrs. Ferguson had mentioned in her letter, or was it the woman herself?
43584Was n''t it funny, she mused, that the very first guest she had met at Stoddard House had been the guilty person?
43584Was n''t she just being terribly foolish to stay here in Philadelphia, missing all those good times?
43584Was one of those young men whom Pauline was dining with today an accomplice?
43584Was there a letter from this Mrs. Ferguson, or did she merely send the money?"
43584Was this country place at Center Square, and was that woman whom Mary Louise had seen in the dark Pauline''s aunt?
43584Was"Margaret"here, or had the police come to arrest Mary Louise for housebreaking?
43584Weinberger?"
43584Well, that''s an honest living, is n''t it?"
43584What could have happened to her?
43584What does she call herself?"
43584What happened then?"
43584What happened?"
43584What next?"
43584What time does the club meet?"
43584What would Christmas be without eating?"
43584What''s the nearest room you can give me?"
43584Where could he have vanished to?"
43584Where did Mrs. Weinberger go?"
43584Where does the postmaster live?
43584Where is it?"
43584Where was her father?
43584Where was the noise coming from?
43584Who else was there?"
43584Who was the intruder?
43584Who was this Mrs. Ferguson, and why had she done this kindness for an unknown girl?
43584Whoever it was, was he or she armed with a revolver?
43584Whom shall we get for a fourth?
43584Why had n''t he driven out here to Center Square when he returned to Stoddard House last night-- and had found her missing?
43584Why had n''t she come here before breakfast, since she knew from Mr. Hayden last night that the girls had telegraphed a request for the money?
43584Why had n''t she gotten the names of those girls from Mrs. Hilliard''s old register?
43584Why had n''t she thought of that explanation before?
43584Why had n''t she thought of that plan before?
43584Will you submit peacefully, Mrs. Ferguson, or must we call in the police?"
43584Will you write to her?
43584Will you write to her?
43584Will you?"
43584Wo n''t you go, dear?
43584Would it be too much trouble to look her up in your files?
43584Would it be worth it to you?"
43584Would n''t it be too wonderful?
43584Would n''t somebody miss her and come to her rescue?
43584Would n''t you want us to do everything in our power to get it back for you?"
43584Would that be time enough-- or do you want it now?"
43584Yet if she complied with his demand and let him see the roll of bills, what would prevent his stealing them all at once?
43584You do n''t suppose my parents would allow me to leave high school and take a regular job when I''m only sixteen, do you?
43584You''re sure it was a man, Mary Louise?"
43677A book?
43677A broadcast?
43677And does he claim to see you as well as talk to you?
43677And now?
43677And the whisper? 43677 And why not?"
43677And yet--he whispered,"is that like Spider?"
43677Are there no other trunks?
43677Are there not enough others? 43677 Are you still with us?"
43677Are you sure?
43677Back to what?
43677Back,he thought once more,"back to what?"
43677Back?
43677Beth, who was at the door just now?
43677Bid?
43677But how was it you could see me as well as speak to me?
43677But in your room, with the shade half drawn?
43677But rare old books, wonderful bits of Irish lace, why not?
43677But that man?
43677But this Bible?
43677But this''House of a Thousand Eyes''?
43677But tomorrow-- who knows? 43677 But what happened?"
43677But what will you be?
43677But what''s this?
43677But what-- what happened to Jack?
43677But who would not have thought it?
43677But who-- who are you?
43677But why not? 43677 But why should we change the switch boxes in that place?"
43677But your father?
43677Ca n''t you see they''ve been gassed?
43677Can I do it?
43677Can I? 43677 Can it be that uncle is right?
43677Can it be,she asked herself,"that this young man is not the Whisperer, and that he knows nothing about it?"
43677Can that be a man?
43677Danger? 43677 Danger?"
43677Did you buy it?
43677Did you see him?
43677Did you see him?
43677Do I see a light up there, or do n''t I?
43677Do I? 43677 Do n''t you know,"the Captain demanded of the one who called himself Spider,"that you''re likely to break your neck?"
43677Do you know,Johnny asked,"that you in your high tower came near being the end of this young giant?"
43677Do you know,his words were distinct and cold,"this girl Nida McFay is a police character?"
43677Do you think they''ll truly come?
43677Does it move?
43677Drinking, Johnny?
43677Envy?
43677Ever see any of these?
43677Eyes?
43677Fight? 43677 Find anyone?"
43677Gone? 43677 Have much luck minding everybody''s business?"
43677He ca n''t just pucker up his lips and whisper a mile, can he? 43677 Help them at what?"
43677Hit me?
43677How about a cup of coffee?
43677How can one ask another to bare her life''s secrets at such a time?
43677How can one see that far? 43677 How can we?"
43677How could all that have happened?
43677How could she be?
43677How is one to explain that? 43677 How''d you make it?"
43677How''s that?
43677How''s the big store in Chicago?
43677How-- how are all the people you look af-- after?
43677I fight?
43677If it is?
43677If it''s a man, is it Spider or the Whisperer?
43677Impractical?
43677Is it worth a million dollars? 43677 Is that all the trunks?"
43677Is-- is that Iggy the Snake?
43677It-- what is?
43677Johnny,said the Captain,"do you believe that whisper came all the way from the city?"
43677Ladies,he said, turning pleading eyes on the group of customers,"will you please put back into that little trunk everything you have taken out?
43677Look after people?
43677May I come in?
43677Mean to say there really was n''t any danger back there?
43677No guard here?
43677Not much,the big boy chuckled,"but what''s a fellow to do?
43677Not out there in--"In the''Wild Garden of Despair''?
43677Not what we been after?
43677Not yet? 43677 Now, sister,"the young giant turned to Beth,"where was it you wanted to go?"
43677Oh, must we?
43677Oh, yeah?
43677Or was it just a scare? 43677 Po-- Police?"
43677Remember the story of poor old Lot?
43677So you''re going back?
43677Something entertaining? 43677 That Whisperer again?"
43677The Skidmore? 43677 The Whisperer-- who can he be?"
43677The Whisperer?
43677Then I may keep them? 43677 These?
43677Through?
43677Up where?
43677Want to know about''em?
43677Was he the fellow that hit you?
43677Watch a picture?
43677We got you, see? 43677 Well, how do you do, Captain Burns?
43677What about these?
43677What can they all do at night?
43677What dare?
43677What did you tell her?
43677What do you make of a thing like that?
43677What equipment?
43677What for?
43677What has happened?
43677What is it, my friend Johnny?
43677What is it?
43677What kind of a house of magic is this?
43677What luck?
43677What plans?
43677What sort of eyes?
43677What two?
43677What was that? 43677 What work do you do?"
43677What''s that?
43677What''s the big idea? 43677 What''s your name?"
43677What? 43677 What?"
43677When you have dressed,the whisper continued,"wo n''t you just step out into the little parlor and take a seat by the table?
43677Where is he?
43677Where is he?
43677Where would you go?
43677Where,he thought,"are Drew and Tom?
43677Whispers at dawn?
43677Who can that be?
43677Who could ask for greater contrast? 43677 Who does?"
43677Who is Jack?
43677Who knows? 43677 Why do you do this in my store?
43677Why must such rude hands unpack it, after it was packed with such care? 43677 Why must you fight in my store?"
43677Why not in every deserving case?
43677Will you tell me the story?
43677Wonder how many sons of truly pious men make their mark in the world? 43677 Wonder if Drew and the rest will really come up to Iggy and his gang?
43677Wonderful letter?
43677You are to explore them? 43677 You came about Father''s books?
43677You do n''t think he''s an ape, or something?
43677You ladies can shoot?
43677You lost their trail?
43677You mean you''ll climb that tower? 43677 You say it is worth several thousands of dollars?"
43677You stayed?
43677You will promise to betray none of our secrets?
43677You''ll know when you''ve had enough, wo n''t you? 43677 You?"
43677''Where did you get it?''
43677******** What had happened to the slender young detective, Tom Howe?
43677********"What,"you may be asking by this time,"have the adventures of a girl from Kansas to do with Johnny Thompson and his friends?"
43677A shot?"
43677All these?"
43677And could he see that far too?
43677And do you expect it to be stolen?"
43677And does he stop to ask,''was this a rich or a poor man''s money?''
43677And then, into her mind there flashed questions that had grown old, but were ever new:"Who is the Whisperer?
43677And then-- oh well, what''s the good of thinking about that?"
43677And this whisperer?
43677And was not her own modest steamer trunk among them?
43677And where is Captain Burns?
43677And why not?
43677And_ this_ is your store?
43677Are you awake?"
43677Are you going to later?"
43677Are you there?
43677But a whisper?
43677But did he keep it?
43677But did he wish to do this?
43677But do you think Jack would take it?
43677But is the law always right?
43677But other people''s things?
43677But the other, the tall one?"
43677But what did it matter?
43677But who cares for danger?"
43677But who whispers?
43677But why?
43677But why?
43677But would that be enough?
43677Can six hundred be worse?
43677Can you imagine?"
43677Could n''t well miss that, could I?
43677Could one tell by the quality of tone?"
43677Could one truly recognize a whisper when he heard it the second time?
43677Dangerous places?
43677Did he indeed talk to her"down a beam of light"from the window of a skyscraper a mile away?
43677Did his hand slip?
43677Did n''t I tell you?"
43677Did the noose about his foot give away?
43677Did they think at times of the five public enemies still at large and free to follow their evil ways?
43677Do n''t you remember?"
43677Do n''t you suppose a fellow knows his skeleton when he sees it?"
43677Do you feel that we are?"
43677Do you promise?"
43677Felix had many secrets, why not he?
43677Fun?
43677Going to aid that whisperer?"
43677Goods?
43677Had Johnny really seen the men?
43677Had he a right to do so?
43677Had he caught the gleam of an eye blinking from the wall?
43677Had he caught the sound of scurrying feet?
43677Had he come upon the tracks of one more skillful than he?
43677Had he decided to make a break all by himself?
43677Had she not caught them going through her trunk?
43677Had they not been sentenced to death by their enemies and the enemies of all honest men, and had they not escaped and triumphed?
43677Had this whisper told the truth?
43677His eyes took in the half- empty trunks all about him, then he murmured again,"Who would not have thought it?"
43677How can I?"
43677How can you ever forgive us?
43677How come the place was locked up and dark?"
43677How could anyone be seen through a mile of space-- much less send a whisper over that great distance?
43677How could they call this a store?
43677How did his whisper come to her?
43677How does that sound?
43677How far?
43677How should I know?
43677How was this affair to end?
43677How''d he get up there?
43677How''ll you reach it?"
43677How?
43677How?
43677I wonder how?
43677I wonder if it''s for keeps?"
43677I wonder what that really is?"
43677I-- You have Nida''s story?"
43677I--""Your skeleton?"
43677If the bed crashes under the weight, what then?"
43677Is it a man or a woman?
43677Is it any wonder that presents were sadly mixed, that Johnny received a powder- puff and Alice a bright and shiny toy pistol?
43677Is n''t it exquisite?"
43677Is n''t it wonderful when you think of it?"
43677Is n''t this a scream?
43677Is there not a law higher than man''s law?"
43677Johnny was saying to her at this moment,"where is he?"
43677Johnny, has the place a cellar?"
43677Letters?
43677Like to eat?"
43677Me?
43677No good-- you know the kind?
43677Now--"What was that?"
43677Perhaps Johnny would have said,"What is the''Eye''?"
43677Pictures?"
43677Question is, are you still with me?"
43677Right, Captain?"
43677See that brick place, second door over?"
43677See that scar like a cross?
43677See?
43677See?"
43677So why think about it?"
43677Sounds sort of peaceful and joyous, does n''t it?
43677Store?
43677Suppose he''s in there now, all coiled up, torpid for his winter''s sleep?"
43677Suppose that means he tends to everybody''s business?"
43677Suppose we could cut it away?"
43677Suppose we retire to the parlor?"
43677Supposing that during all this time he had been in league with Iggy the Snake and his gang?
43677Take it away from''em, see?
43677Takes machines, instruments, whatever you may call it, do n''t it?"
43677Television?
43677Tell me, what is all this?"
43677That I am merely letting myself get''soft''?"
43677That exceedingly tall room was not so tall now-- or was it?
43677That right, Drew?"
43677That right?"
43677The moonlight was falling upon it-- or was that some other form of light?
43677Was Spider yellow, after all?
43677Was he a friend of the law, or its enemy?
43677Was he a mile away?
43677Was he the Whisperer?
43677Was the water a hundred or a thousand feet down?
43677We will go to the man who sold the bond and repeat,''Where did you get it?''
43677We''ll help you solve it, wo n''t we, Joyce?"
43677Were not the articles in her arms, the tortoise shell comb, the kimono and those other garments her very own?
43677Were not the trunks open there before her, a half dozen or more of them?
43677Were their thoughts busy with other Christmas Eves?
43677Were they thinking of the future, of the approaching New Year and what it would bring to them?
43677What became of you?"
43677What could it all mean?
43677What did presents matter?
43677What did you think?"
43677What do I want of that package?"
43677What do they care for women and children?
43677What does he know?"
43677What does it matter to him whose it was?
43677What does it mean?
43677What dreams had she not dreamed of this store?
43677What harm can come from a whisper?
43677What if this fellow did have a hunch?
43677What is distance anyway?
43677What is lonelier than a city where one has not a single friend?
43677What is there in them?
43677What must it contain?"
43677What of him?"
43677What of the future?
43677What place could this be?
43677What places?
43677What right have you to read them?''
43677What sort of person had she expected to see?
43677What was he to make of it?
43677What was to be done?
43677What will he do without his books?"
43677What will it matter?"
43677What''s the diff?
43677When at last questions formed themselves in his fear- frozen brain they were,"How far will it come?
43677Where are they?"
43677Where does it all come from, and who will buy it?"
43677Where does that come from?
43677Where has it been since?
43677Where is he?
43677Where?"
43677Which one?
43677Who can blame him?
43677Who can say?
43677Who dares say we wo n''t?
43677Who knows?
43677Who knows?
43677Who should interfere with these glorious plans?
43677Who wants that many beans?"
43677Who was the whisperer?
43677Who would buy these?
43677Why did I come?
43677Why do n''t you come back day after tomorrow?
43677Why do you do this?"
43677Why does he want Nida''s story?"
43677Why might not another do the same?
43677Why must each one carry away the one treasure she most desires, while the rightful owner goes empty- handed?"
43677Why not?
43677Why?
43677Why?
43677Will the posts of my bed arrest it?
43677With some irrelevance Grace said quickly:"Drew Lane, how could anyone see you a mile away?"
43677Wo n''t you tell me how you came into possession of this trunk, and how you came to write that wonderful letter?"
43677Wonder if I''ll ever see him again?
43677Wonder if they come from that thing?
43677Wonder where the Captain is now?"
43677Would Drew Lane and his band come up with these outlaws?
43677Would he, Johnny Thompson, be in at the finish?
43677Would she do it?
43677Would there be a battle?
43677Would they?
43677You did n''t see him there, did you?"
43677You have found a diamond, or maybe some stocks and bonds?
43677You remember that van on the street?
43677You were n''t much afraid, were you?"
43677You whisper, do you?
43677You will come with us?"
43677You''ll be out?"
43677You''ll give it up if it''s sort of getting the best of you?"
43677You''ll never leave that place, see?
43677You''re sure there was nothing in that box but a broken lamp?"
43677You-- you''ve not been drinking, Spider?"
43677he exclaimed,"you have opened that little trunk?
20341A dance? 20341 Am I on the section recently purchased by Wingate& Gray?"
20341Am I what?
20341And what do you think the medium also said?
20341And you believe''pirates''are trying to hog all they can of it, do you?
20341And you refused two dollars and a half? 20341 And your companion-- is he from the same county?"
20341Anything else?
20341Are n''t we ever going to have peace?
20341Are the jacks awake?
20341Are they likely to follow us?
20341Are ye the fellows that burned up part of Section Forty- three?
20341Are you Joe Shafto?
20341Are you all right in there?
20341Are you crazy?
20341Are you game for it, Hippy?
20341Are you going to let the dog run?
20341Are you positive of that, Willy?
20341Are-- are they dead?
20341As I was about to say-- What''s that?
20341At least there is nothing to prevent our going back and getting to sleep, is there?
20341At the latter price how much could a fellow expect to clear on the deal?
20341Be we there?
20341Be you Gray?
20341Big Friend, huh?
20341By the way, Mrs. Shafto, where is Henry?
20341By the way, what message did Henry convey to you?
20341By the way, where do you live?
20341Ca n''t we send to Forty- three for assistance?
20341Di-- did a log hit Hippy?
20341Did he know that timber- thieves had been helping themselves to trees?
20341Did the Redskin git me?
20341Did the naughty bear scratch oo bootiful face?
20341Did you kill him?
20341Did you notice how bruised and swollen his face was, and how indifferent he appeared to be about it?
20341Did you see them, darlin''?
20341Do n''t you see you''re spoiling a perfectly good lot of venison? 20341 Do ye want me to git out?"
20341Do you know the gentleman with the iron toe?
20341Do you mean it?
20341Do you really think she is in earnest about that nature stuff?
20341Do you see things in the fire?
20341Do you think I am simple enough to fall in?
20341Do you think they will come back, darlin''?
20341Eh? 20341 Eh?
20341Eh? 20341 Eh?
20341Eh?
20341Emma, does your nature cult explain to you why the trees grow so tall and so straight?
20341Emma, where do you get all that dope?
20341Feet?
20341Feller with a wooden leg?
20341Find anything up there?
20341For the love of Mike, what now?
20341For what?
20341Game warden, eh? 20341 Girls, in all our campaigning we have n''t learned much, have we?"
20341Girls, what do you say to the suggestion that we make camp here until some time to- morrow?
20341Grace, is this the place?
20341Grace, where is Hippy?
20341Ha-- as he gone?
20341Had we better not get him under his tent?
20341Has n''t it grown up so high that he ca n''t see it?
20341Have they rifles? 20341 Have you a permit to build fires in these woods?"
20341He can growl at you, ca n''t he?
20341Henry, what''s the matter with ye? 20341 Hi-- Hippy, where''s the pup?"
20341How about this campfire,''Chatty''? 20341 How are we going to do so with one side of the house out?"
20341How can we go to bed with one side of the house out?
20341How come?
20341How did you find us? 20341 How did you get here ahead of us?"
20341How do?
20341How far?
20341How is it?
20341How is the camp?
20341How long has she been this way, girls?
20341How long has that blaze been there?
20341How long have you been up?
20341How long will it take to reach this camp?
20341How much did they offer you?
20341How shall I stop its smoking?
20341I met you first, did n''t I?
20341I reckon some varmint give that air tree a kick over, eh? 20341 I said, be you Gray?"
20341I say, Joseph, if that''s your name, may I address you as''Old Dear''without imperilling my life?
20341I wonder what the voices of nature are saying at the present moment?
20341I wonder who is the Henry that she mentioned?
20341If I refuse, what then?
20341In the meantime we starve, eh? 20341 Is Joe at home?
20341Is Willy likely to be up here to- day, Tom?
20341Is he the fellow that''s cruising the timber up here for the state?
20341Is it peace, or is it war again?
20341Is it possible that you are in love or something?
20341Is the arrow not pointed in the direction of our old camp?
20341Is the deer season on?
20341Is there danger?
20341Is this Joe''s place?
20341Is this the place where we are to stay until Mr. Gray joins us?
20341Lieutenant, did ye et like that when ye was chasin''the flyin''Dutchmen in France?
20341Look at that, will you?
20341Matter? 20341 Meaning what?"
20341My husband seldom thinks to bring me candy, and--"For Nora? 20341 No scraps in sight, eh?"
20341No-- ot rain?
20341Nothing wrong at camp, is there?
20341Nothing wrong outside, is there, Hippy?
20341Now that you understand, wo n''t you please sit down and have breakfast with us? 20341 Now what is wrong?"
20341Of what?
20341Oh, Hippy, what happened to you?
20341Oh, Mister Pony-- I mean Mister Horse-- won''t you sit down and have a snack with us?
20341Oh, girls, this is worth all the discomforts we have been through, is n''t it?
20341Oh, why was I ever induced to leave my happy home?
20341Peg Tatem, eh?
20341Pert as a bird, ai n''t ye?
20341Say, children, may my Hindenburg sleep in your quarters to- night? 20341 Shot anything?"
20341Should have been? 20341 So?"
20341Started that agin, have ye? 20341 Suppose some one should step in and buy the section-- what then?"
20341Tell me, I prithee, little bird- woman, what is the wise old owl saying? 20341 That''s your game, is it?"
20341The burning question of the moment is, do we sleep on feathers or firs to- night?
20341The one with the peculiar squint in his eye?
20341The tents?
20341Then what is it, old man?
20341Think I want to plunge into that cold water and rescue you?
20341This is all very fine, Tom, but what are we going to do after you have left us?
20341This is something new, is n''t it?
20341This surely is rough enough work, is n''t it? 20341 To do what?"
20341To help me get the gates up?
20341To- morrow''s or to- day''s sundown?
20341Tom Gray?
20341Tom,said Grace one evening after a few hours spent by her watching the work,"who is the short, thick- set lumberjack with the red hair?"
20341Want a guide, Mister?
20341Want to see the rest of them?
20341We are being led, but what''s the odds who is doing the leading so long as we are led?
20341We can sit down, ca n''t we?
20341Well, fellows?
20341Well, what do you think of it?
20341Well? 20341 Well?"
20341Well?
20341Wha-- at, in this storm?
20341Wha-- at? 20341 Wha-- at?"
20341Wha-- what do you mean?
20341What are we to do?
20341What are you loafing around here for? 20341 What dam?"
20341What did you say to that?
20341What do ye''low for that?
20341What do you say, fellows?
20341What do you think did it-- I mean how was it done?
20341What do you think they want?
20341What do you want here anyway?
20341What do you want me to do?
20341What do you want, Hippy Wingate?
20341What does it suggest to you?
20341What if it should rain?
20341What is he saying?
20341What is in the wind, Tom?
20341What is it you wish?
20341What is it, then?
20341What is it?
20341What is it?
20341What is that up there?
20341What is the big idea?
20341What is the difference between them?
20341What is the little birdie saying, Emma girl?
20341What is the section worth?
20341What is your interpretation of the tree''s fall, you Nature- Cult Person?
20341What is your name?
20341What luck?
20341What makes you think that the skidway was tampered with?
20341What next?
20341What shall we do without tents?
20341What was that?
20341What ye got to say about this?
20341What''s his name?
20341What''s that for?
20341What''s that ye say?
20341What''s that? 20341 What''s the matter with that pesky savage?"
20341What''s this-- a circus?
20341What''s this? 20341 What''s wrong here, Elfreda?"
20341What''s your figger?
20341What? 20341 What?
20341What_ is_ on your mind to- day, Emma Dean?
20341When were they to call for this information?
20341Where did you get the beast?
20341Where is the dinner?
20341Where is the measly redskin, Cap''n?
20341Where would one have to go to find out about it?
20341Where you go?
20341Where''s that pesky Indian?
20341Which one of the pair do you mean?
20341Who be ye?
20341Who can it be?
20341Who is going to stand guard to- night?
20341Who is the contractor?
20341Who shot?
20341Who told you to assume such authority?
20341Who, then?
20341Who? 20341 Why did n''t you take it?"
20341Why did they wish to be rid of us?
20341Why did you stop them, Grace?
20341Why do n''t they try dynamite?
20341Why do n''t you go home?
20341Why do n''t_ you_ tickle his ribs?
20341Why is n''t Joe here to meet us?
20341Why not fetch him out yourself? 20341 Why not harness up that lazy bear and make him draw in the logs?"
20341Why not take the rest of the party?
20341Why so rough with them?
20341Why worry?
20341Why, when we were riding in the Kentucky Mountains last year we--"Well?
20341Why? 20341 Why?"
20341Will you call Hippy and Joe?
20341Will you go in on the deal with me?
20341Will you please tell me why a dam is necessary to lumbering?
20341Will you stop that?
20341Willy, did you make them for us?
20341Willy, is that you?
20341With what?
20341Without wishin''to be personal, may I ask what you paid for it?
20341Wo n''t you sit down and have a snack with us?
20341Would it not be a good plan to have Willy Horse watch the log and see if he can give our''friends''a scare?
20341Ye-- ye say I''m a thief?
20341Yes, but suppose the traveler tries to find the trail a year or so later?
20341Yes?
20341Yes?
20341Yes?
20341You are to show us the way to Shafto''s, I presume?
20341You buy?
20341You carrying guns? 20341 You do n''t mean to say that reputable lumber companies go in for anything of that sort, do you?"
20341You do n''t, eh? 20341 You hear big noise?"
20341You saw what happened to Ainsworth and his guide when they sneaked up to our camp last night, did n''t you? 20341 You say the state desires to get rid of them?"
20341You suspect, do n''t you?
20341You''re a fine bunch of ladies''men, are n''t you? 20341 Your section, did you say?"
20341A breakfast food?"
20341Ai n''t ye ashamed of yerself to speak to yer betters that way, and''specially to a woman of my years?
20341All our provisions gone?"
20341And now who be_ ye_?"
20341Are n''t you proud of each and every one of them, Hippy?"
20341Are those all for my breakfast?"
20341Are ye goin''to pay up or go with us?"
20341Are you going to douse the fire?"
20341Are you going?"
20341But why do you do so much for us?"

20341Do you know what its name is?
20341Do you know what that is?"
20341Do you still insist that we put it out?"
20341Do you think he would sell the section?"
20341Do you think that fellow Tatem had anything to do with what happened last night?"
20341Do you think the horses are safe?"
20341Do you think you can do this?"
20341Doing the family washing, eh?"
20341Eh, Tom?"
20341Elfreda?"
20341Fine kettle of stew, hey?"
20341Grace, how do you think you would strike a match with nothing dry to strike it on?"
20341Grace, what county are we now in?"
20341Gray?"
20341Had yer dinners?"
20341Has he a message for me?"
20341Have you?"
20341Henry, do ye hear me?"
20341Hippy, why do you keep that animal around?
20341How about it, Tom?"
20341How are you?"
20341How far is it to Joe''s?"
20341How is Captain Gray?"
20341How is the equipment being brought in?"
20341How long are we going to let them sleep?"
20341I been sittin''out thar in the woods all night thinkin''--""About being made foreman?"
20341I mean game guns-- rifles?"
20341I wonder what they will think now-- or do?"
20341In a lower tone he asked,"Anything wrong?"
20341Is it going to last long?"
20341Is n''t that quite human?"
20341It does n''t look as though I should get away to- day, does it?"
20341May I see Joe?"
20341Now what do you make of that?"
20341Now what have you to say for yourself, Tom Gray?"
20341Now who be ye all?
20341Oh, are you awake?"
20341Oh, where is he?"
20341Or shall I go in?"
20341Ready, Thomas?"
20341See?
20341Shafto?"
20341Shafto?"
20341Shafto?"
20341Shafto?"
20341Shafto?"
20341Shafto?"
20341Shafto?"
20341Shafto?"
20341Spike, what''s the matter?"
20341That alright?"
20341That''s it, is it?
20341The dam built by the timber- thieves?
20341The pony?"
20341They did n''t know us, did they, Hippy?"
20341Think this''ere is a lumberjack hotel?
20341Want a horse, Willy?"
20341What are the wild winds in the tree- tops saying?"
20341What county are you from, may I inquire?"
20341What do I care about the pony?
20341What do we care, who or what?
20341What do ye reckon on doin''to- night?"
20341What do ye say, Cap''n?"
20341What do you say if we take just one little cat- nap, Tom?"
20341What do you want me to do?"
20341What do you want?
20341What do?"
20341What do?"
20341What is he good for except to eat and sleep?"
20341What is it you wish, sir?"
20341What is the excitement out there?"
20341What is the matter with it?"
20341What is this, anyway?"
20341What kind''s that?"
20341What was it?"
20341What will you give?"
20341What would we do on these journeys without her?"
20341What you do?"
20341What you give?''
20341What you hear?"
20341What''ll ye take cash down, balance ninety days, for the section?"
20341What''s his name?"
20341What''s that?"
20341What''s the difference?"
20341What''s the joke, old dear?"
20341What''s the joke?"
20341What''s the joke?"
20341What''s this?"
20341What''s this?"
20341What''s yer name?"
20341What''s yours?"
20341When?"
20341Where to, Grace?"
20341Where was that bear of yours while all that uproar was in progress?"
20341Where?"
20341Which way do we go?"
20341Who be he?"
20341Who cut off this timber, Willy?"
20341Who do ye reckon the varmint was who did that, Cap''n Gray?"
20341Who do you suppose could have done that?"
20341Who said that?"
20341Who sent you here?"
20341Why are you taking it upon yourself to come here and interfere with us?"
20341Why did n''t you say so before?"
20341Why did you do it?"
20341Why do n''t they run?"
20341Why do n''t yer feed the critter some soothin''syrup?
20341Why do n''t you get out and start work on a new dam?
20341Why do n''t you roar, you folks?
20341Why, Green Gables, of course, and--""What are the wild birds saying?"
20341Why?
20341Why?"
20341Why?"
20341Why?"
20341Will you really?"
20341Will you teach me?"
20341Wingate?"
20341Wo n''t you sit down?"
20341Ye lookin''for timber thieves?"
20341You like?"
20341You see other white men?"
20341You will sell?"
42137A great castle for poor little me?
42137A shoe? 42137 A shoe?"
42137Afraid? 42137 Am I to stand there to be stared at?
42137And I suppose,there was bitter sarcasm in the director''s voice,"she will sing the part when that night comes?"
42137And does the great Fernando Tiffin do his work here, too?
42137And have you money for her, a great deal of money?
42137And if it can be, will you let me know?
42137And if she did?
42137And if they arrest me, what then?
42137And in the meantime?
42137And now,came in a polite tone from the corner,"if I may have a word with Petite Jeanne?"
42137And she never recognized you?
42137And that dark- faced one? 42137 And that was her home?"
42137And the girl went in there?
42137And these are your friends? 42137 And was she telling me I might keep them?
42137And what does this mean? 42137 And what will you see after that?"
42137And where are we?
42137And where''ll we go? 42137 And where''s Blackie?"
42137And who knows,she had clasped her hands in ecstasy,"who knows but that in some mysterious way my opportunity may come?"
42137And who taught you?
42137And why not? 42137 And will you tell them why?"
42137And you thought because you found''em they were yours?
42137And you will be our diva?
42137And, after all, how could she help believing that I took them? 42137 And, after all,"she heaved a deep sigh that was more than half filled with contentment,"who''d object to that?
42137Angelo? 42137 Are you Pierre?"
42137Are you not afraid to be on the streets at night?
42137Arranged?
42137At night?
42137Besides, how could she know? 42137 Borrow it?
42137But are you not afraid?
42137But did you not endeavor to make a call at this strange home?
42137But how could they?
42137But how did these get in?
42137But how now is it all to end?
42137But if this is true, why did I go unmolested? 42137 But inside?"
42137But ought you not to open the package? 42137 But out there on that vacant lot, in the cold and dark-- you have not forgotten?"
42137But the way out?
42137But then?
42137But what can you do?
42137But what place_ is_ this?
42137But what?
42137But where is she? 42137 But where is the necklace?
42137But why all this?
42137But why did you ask about the scar?
42137But why did you run? 42137 But why do they pour it out?"
42137But why such cruel, cruel contrasts?
42137But why the masquerade?
42137But why then did he not come that night and deliver it?
42137But why?
42137But would I wish to live here?
42137But, Aunt Bobby,she exclaimed at last,"what can you be doing here?
42137By whom?
42137Can I do it?
42137Can it be that this place is left unguarded, and that it is being robbed?
42137Deep down there?
42137Did she?
42137Do you?
42137Does he not hate you?
42137Does she believe I took the pearls?
42137Dreaming?
42137Eyes?
42137For me?
42137For what will they arrest me? 42137 From France?"
42137Got it?
42137Guards? 42137 He-- he wo n''t eat it?"
42137Hear what?
42137Here? 42137 How can she dare to visit this desolate spot alone?"
42137How can you have seen it?
42137How could I forget?
42137How could he know?
42137How many?
42137How''d you know that?
42137I wonder if she heard?
42137I wonder what he meant?
42137I wonder why he put it where he did?
42137I?
42137If so, why did he not return?
42137Is it for this that I am here?
42137Is this Petite Jeanne? 42137 Is this little Frenchman after all but a tool of the police?
42137Jeanne,Florence stood in the door of her room,"did that man, the dark- faced one with the evil eye, did he have a scar on his chin?"
42137Lights and shadows?
42137Lost his way? 42137 May I speak with her?
42137Meg,said Jeanne imploringly,"have you a dress to loan me?"
42137Midnight? 42137 No?
42137Now why did I do that?
42137Now why did she do that?
42137Oh, could n''t I? 42137 Oh, why did I run away?
42137Petite Jeanne,Florence spoke with sudden earnestness,"have you no people living in France?"
42137Romantic? 42137 Shall they know?"
42137Shall we arouse the garrison? 42137 Shall we wake him and suggest it now?"
42137So late as this?
42137So this is where you work?
42137Sometime? 42137 Sometimes we have good fortune, is it not so?
42137Swim?
42137Tell me truly,she said to her companion,"he would not eat him?"
42137Tell me,said Florence, as the hot tea warmed the white- haired one''s drowsy blood,"why did you weep at the loss of a shoe?"
42137Tell you? 42137 That your net?"
42137The music,she whispered to Swen,"you will do it?"
42137Then how can you go back?
42137Then why--?
42137Then will you please ask Pierre if it will be possible for him to meet me at the Opera House stage door at three this afternoon?
42137This place, do you ask?
42137Uncles and aunts, cousins, grandparents?
42137Unless what?
42137Wa- all,came in a not unfriendly voice,"what is it y''want?"
42137Was there ever such another night?
42137We-- we''re here,Florence panted,"but where are we?"
42137Well, ai n''t they?
42137Wh- what''s happened?
42137Wh-- where are we?
42137Wha-- what is it?
42137What am I to wear?
42137What can be keeping her?
42137What can she mean, always dogging my footsteps?
42137What did I tell you? 42137 What do you care?"
42137What does it all mean?
42137What is poverty when one has friends?
42137What is to happen?
42137What must a terrific thunderstorm mean to that teaming mass of humanity?
42137What must he be when he gets his second plumage? 42137 What was it like?"
42137What was that number?
42137What would a boy wear? 42137 What you want?"
42137What''s pleasing you, sister?
42137What''s your name?
42137What, indeed?
42137What?
42137When will it break up?
42137When?
42137Where are we?
42137Where are we?
42137Where did you learn to ride so well?
42137Where does she live?
42137Where else could she have gone?
42137Where the pigeons are always bathing?
42137Where?
42137Who are you? 42137 Who better than I can feel as that poor juggler felt as he gave all this up for the monastery''s narrow walls?"
42137Who but the gypsies?
42137Who called it?
42137Who can he be?
42137Who can say?
42137Who can tell? 42137 Who can tell?"
42137Who can these men be?
42137Who could doubt it?
42137Who could it be?
42137Who could not know? 42137 Who could that man be?"
42137Who else would wave his arms so wildly?
42137Who knows? 42137 Who knows?"
42137Who would not?
42137Who-- who was that?
42137Who? 42137 Why Pierre?"
42137Why all this late unpleasantness?
42137Why am I afraid?
42137Why did I promise so much?
42137Why did I say midnight?
42137Why did we come this way?
42137Why did you say all this was''a form of life''?
42137Why go back at all?
42137Why not? 42137 Why not?
42137Why not?
42137Why think of to- morrow? 42137 Why was I afraid then?
42137Why weep when there is so much to be glad about? 42137 Why, how-- how could you know?"
42137Will she truly allow me to be her understudy, to go on in her place when the''Juggler''is done again?
42137Will they truly arrest me?
42137Will wonders never end?
42137Will you hand it over, or shall we take you in?
42137Will you try?
42137Will you?
42137Will you?
42137Yeah?
42137Yeah?
42137Yes, why?
42137Yet, who knows but that some golden opportunity may come to you? 42137 You are Jeanne''s lady in black?"
42137You know those people?
42137You saw him yesterday?
42137You saw that? 42137 You saw that?"
42137You say two men followed him?
42137You see?
42137You will go there with me after the opera?
42137You wish this person''s address? 42137 You wished to see?"
42137You-- you think it could be made into a thing of beauty?
42137A castle?
42137A grandmother?
42137Ah, well, what did it matter?
42137Ah, yes, who could?
42137Alone?
42137And again,"I wonder who that man could be?
42137And always I think,''What if the walls should crumble?''"
42137And did they find mystery and great adventure in Jeanne''s vast castle?
42137And how can I know why?"
42137And how could she know?"
42137And how did such a strange home as this come into being?"
42137And if they did?
42137And if we rest beneath his rays much of the time, does he not give us a more abundant life?"
42137And the dark one who is only a voice, she says:''Do you like the opera?''
42137And then--""Yeah?
42137And then?"
42137And was not France her native land?
42137And what of that curtain?
42137And what other hour could one be sure of?
42137And where was one to look for him save in his old haunts?
42137And where was the man now?
42137And who is she?
42137And who knows what the French are like?
42137And who may you be?
42137And why not?
42137And why should they fail?
42137And will you have the chair, so?
42137And yet, what did she mean?
42137And, after all, how is one to find a shoe in such a place of madness?"
42137Are they having it?
42137Are we not the glory that is America in all her wealth and power?"
42137As it was, she asked but a single question:"Who is he?"
42137As she left the box during an intermission the rich girl turned a bright smile full upon her as she said:"What is your name?"
42137But Jeanne?
42137But Petite Jeanne?
42137But how could she know?
42137But if not a detective, what then?"
42137But was it Jeanne?
42137But what am I to wear?"
42137But what could have kept you?"
42137But what is this?
42137But what is this?
42137But what of the business- like little Frenchman?
42137But what of the days that were to follow?
42137But what shall I be?"
42137But what was this?
42137But what was this?
42137But what was to happen after that?
42137But what''s a shoe?
42137But where can they be going?
42137But where were they?
42137But who knows?"
42137But who wants so grand a castle that is cold?
42137But who were these people?
42137But who would hew planks by hand in this day of steam and great sawmills?"
42137But would she make it?
42137But would there?
42137But would they?
42137Can you blame me?"
42137Can you see them?
42137Could I be searched?"
42137Could one borrow it?"
42137Could they find it?
42137Did I take the necklace?
42137Did Jeanne tire of studying opera"forever and ever"and did she return to America?
42137Did a hand touch her foot?
42137Did he truly bear a message of importance?
42137Did he, then, see through her own pretenses?
42137Did she hear footsteps?
42137Did she pray, or did she but surrender her soul and body to the forces of nature all about her?
42137Did that little company indeed journey all the way to Paris?
42137Did this figure''s head turn?
42137Do you hear it?"
42137Do you not hear it flowing?"
42137Do you think I might see it, two or three friends and I?"
42137Do you think you could arrange it?
42137Does he hope to trap me and secure the pearls-- which I do not have?
42137Does not the sun give us life?
42137Does one sometimes serve himself best by serving others?
42137Does she suspect?
42137Got her address?"
42137Had he passed through?
42137Had she committed a dangerous blunder?
42137Had she forgotten?
42137Had the curtain consumed him?
42137Have n''t you unwrapped it?"
42137Have you seen him?"
42137Have you seen the fountain by the Art Museum?"
42137He--""Could a guilty person sleep so?"
42137Help me?"
42137How could he?
42137How could that be?"
42137How could they be implicated?
42137How could they?
42137How do you dare tamper with my property, to put on my costume?"
42137How had this come about?
42137How is it done?
42137If so, what was the message?
42137If so, whom had he apprehended, the dark- faced one or the little Frenchman with a military bearing?
42137In the meantime, the dark, slim man was saying to the stocky one:"Can you beat it?
42137Indian canoes?
42137Is it not so, Marjory Dean?
42137Is it not so?"
42137Is that enough?
42137Is this not strange?"
42137It does not matter?''
42137It is like, shall I say, like seeing God?
42137Jeanne had told her story and Florence had done her best to reassure her, when the little French girl exclaimed:"But you, my friend?
42137May I now have a word with you?"
42137Me?
42137Money?
42137Must I now lose you, oh, my royal treasure?
42137Now, what do you make of that?"
42137Oh, why did I accept?"
42137Oh, yes, indeed, they say:''What is your name?''
42137Or did our old friend, Florence, forgetting her blonde companion of many mysteries, go forth with others to seek adventure?
42137Or floating logs?
42137Or is he with that evil one with the desperate eyes?
42137Or is it Pierre?"
42137Or is it true that he came but now from France and bears a message for me?"
42137Or so?
42137Or will you wear it?
42137Petite Jeanne had hardly disappeared through the door leading to the stage when two whispered words came from behind Florence''s back:"Remember me?"
42137Remember?"
42137Scarcely had she regained her composure when a voice behind her asked:"Are you fond of the opera?"
42137See?
42137See?"
42137Shall I remove your sable coat?
42137Shall we try to go in?"
42137She wanted to rush down the stairs and call to him; yet she dared not, for were not those sinister figures lurking there?
42137Should she ask the driver to remain?
42137Should she say:"I am Petite Jeanne?"
42137Should you be afraid of God if you saw Him?"
42137Some from a broken ship and some from who knows where?
42137Somewhere?"
42137The cause?
42137The lady in black?
42137The stellar role?
42137This Petite Jeanne?"
42137This farewell was destined to end unfinished for suddenly a great bass voice roared:"What is this?
42137Thought you''d keep me out, eh?
42137To follow a dangerous criminal?
42137To frustrate his plans single- handed?
42137To- morrow?
42137Turning to a white- haired, distinguished- looking man close beside him, a man whom he had never before seen, he had said:"Is this life?"
42137Was it an"Exit"light?
42137Was it held in the hand of the unwelcome stranger?
42137Was it not France as she knew it?
42137Was she right?
42137Was she?
42137Was someone preparing to seize her?
42137Was this not their night of nights, the night of the"Grand Parade"?
42137Were there men about the place within the palisades?
42137Were they coming out?
42137Were those good days, better days than we are knowing now?"
42137What ails the fire?"
42137What are pearls among friends?"
42137What are you doing here?"
42137What can he want?"
42137What can he want?"
42137What could be more certain than this?
42137What could have been the reason?"
42137What did it matter?
42137What do you say to that?"
42137What does one wear in jail?"
42137What does that packet contain?"
42137What else can matter?
42137What good could possibly come of that?"
42137What had happened?
42137What had happened?
42137What interest could he have in a mere boy usher of the opera?
42137What is it?
42137What is she saying?
42137What is that on the lake?
42137What matter that some are left behind?
42137What more could he ask?"
42137What more could one ask?"
42137What more could one ask?"
42137What more, indeed?
42137What more, indeed?
42137What must we say, then, of Petite Jeanne?
42137What of her promise?
42137What shall the answer be?
42137What should she do?
42137What sort of people were these, anyway?
42137What strange new acquaintance shall I make; what adventures come to me?"
42137What was it she planned to do?
42137What was it?
42137What was it?
42137What was she letting herself in for?
42137What was she to expect?
42137What was this light?
42137What was this so wonderful thing you saw there?"
42137What was this?
42137What was to come of it all?
42137What was to happen?
42137What were these thoughts?
42137What will be the verdict?
42137What will these people see?
42137What will you have?"
42137What wonder that Petite Jeanne knew every word of this charming opera by heart?
42137What wonder, then, that these two bewildered and frightened ones, at sight of a glowing fire, should leap forward with cries of joy on their lips?
42137What would the answer be?
42137What you doing?
42137What''s it worth to you?
42137Where is she?
42137Where was Rosemary?
42137Where was he?
42137Where?"
42137Who can doubt it?
42137Who can doubt it?
42137Who can have requested it?
42137Who can say but that these two are the same, or at least that their effect is the same?
42137Who can tell?
42137Who could have planned all this and brought it into being?
42137Who could it be, at this hour of the night?
42137Who could it be?
42137Who could say?
42137Who could tell?
42137Who could tell?
42137Who did take it?"
42137Who else can matter?"
42137Who is he?
42137Who knows how Providence may assist me?"
42137Who wants to sit and grow roots like stupid little cottonwood trees?"
42137Who was he?
42137Who would tell her?
42137Who would wish for a grandmother who did not bend nor smile?
42137Whom shall I see?
42137Why Grand Opera?
42137Why are you not rehearsing your part?"
42137Why be afraid?"
42137Why did I run away?"
42137Why did they put it here?"
42137Why do you lock the gate?
42137Why does he not give us a ring?"
42137Why had he never returned to ask Pierre, the usher in the boxes, the correct address of Petite Jeanne?
42137Why not Marjory Dean?"
42137Why not go down with the tide?
42137Why not one good cup of black tea?
42137Why not, indeed?
42137Why not?
42137Why not?
42137Why should I?
42137Why should he not hear it when he chooses?
42137Why should he not?
42137Why should one fear Love?"
42137Why should one struggle?
42137Why was he here?
42137Why was it here?
42137Why was nothing said to her regarding the pearls?
42137Why was she not arrested?
42137Will it be a success?"
42137Will the lawyers and the judge make a joke of my misfortune?"
42137Will you explain something?"
42137Will you help me?
42137Will you, Marjory Dean?"
42137Would she go with them?
42137Would she not do so much for me?
42137Would you care to go a little way with me?"
42137Yet, as a means to an end, had she taken the necklace, intending later to return it?
42137You are a sun worshipper, are you not?"
42137You have been on the island?"
42137You know how long a freighter is?"
42137You know the people living on that curious man- made island?"
42137You recall that?"
42137You will be ready?
42137You''d not expect to find respectable people living there, would you?"
42137_ Mon Dieu!_ How is one to say how much?
42137_ Voila!_''"Who can say it is not going to be dramatic?
23208A greater conquest than_ mine_?
23208A letter from daddy?
23208A rare coin, you say?
23208A_ what_?
23208Ai n''t Janice tol''ye?
23208Ai n''t been an eperdemic o''smallpox broke out, has there?
23208Ai n''t it too bad? 23208 Ai n''t thet jes''like ye, Almiry-- goin''off at ha''f cock thet- a- way?
23208Ai n''t willin''ter give the young feller a chance''t at all, heh?
23208Ai n''t ye heard how I dumped m''load-- an''Josephus-- inter the lake?
23208And are they sure Mr. Haley was in there?
23208And are you interested in such sparring encounters?
23208And how came you down this way?
23208And let the thief git away with''em?
23208And was Hopewell their only child?
23208Another case of speeding, Janice Day?
23208Are-- are you sure? 23208 At Narnay?"
23208At it ag''in, air ye, Marty?
23208At once?
23208Be you goin''ter wait till yer neighbors put ye out of a bad business, an''then try ter take credit ter yerself that ye gin it up? 23208 Begin what with Walky?"
23208But his family? 23208 But it''s nothing more than a dance, is it?"
23208But what about Hopewell?
23208But what are we goin''ter do, Jason?
23208But what is poor Nelson to do? 23208 Ca n''t the doctor help her?"
23208Ca n''t you help him?
23208Can it be that Lem Parraday or his barkeeper would trust them for drink?
23208Can nothing be done to save it? 23208 D''ye know,"jerked out Walky, with his head on one side and his eyes screwed up,"that I b''lieve Josephus agrees with ye?"
23208D''yeou s''pose Sarah wanted to go trapesing all over the airth, ev''ry time Abraham wanted ter change his habitation?
23208Did I say I was in the habit of going into Lem Parraday''s bar and spending my month''s salary in fiery waters?
23208Did n''t he make a good thing out of the violin transaction?
23208Did ye notice Marm''s new bonnet? 23208 Did you catch the worm this morning?"
23208Did you give her a gold piece-- a ten dollar gold piece-- in the change?
23208Do n''t he know we all air sufferin''with him?
23208Do n''t ye know that''s one of the rarest issues of ten dollar coins in existence? 23208 Do n''t ye see what I am after?
23208Do n''t you have the doctor for her?
23208Do n''t you remember how you came by it?
23208Do n''t you s''pose I knew what I was about last night? 23208 Do n''t you see my lookers?
23208Do n''t you see the date on it?
23208Do you believe so, Frank?
23208Do you know, these fellows do n''t want to drink? 23208 Do you mean Jack Besmith?"
23208Do you mean you are going clear over the mountain after that drunken Narnay?
23208Do you really believe so?
23208Do you really believe so?
23208Do you see that?
23208Do you suppose Mrs. Drugg would go down there after him?
23208Do you? 23208 Down at the Inn?"
23208Eh? 23208 Frank,"she whispered to Bowman, there in the front of the dusky store,"Frank, what shall we do?"
23208Getting me out of the Inn?
23208Got a job, Jim?
23208Guess you feel better-- heh?
23208Has Mr. Trimmins a big gang at work?
23208Has somebody got ahead of you in circulating a particularly juicy bit of gossip?
23208Have they found out?
23208Have you been around by the Lower Road where my gang is working?
23208Have you paid them lately, Sir?
23208He-- he is your father?
23208Hear the woman, will ye?
23208Heh?
23208Here_ who_ is? 23208 Hopewell has n''t been sellin''her Paris green for buckwheat flour, has he?
23208How about making good with that pretty daughter of Vice President Harrison''s?
23208How about that, Cross Moore? 23208 How about your example, Walky?"
23208How air her poor eyes?
23208How am I different from other girls?
23208How are those men getting on in your wood lot, Elder?
23208How d''ye know so much?
23208How did this here sufferin- yet l''arn so much about the tribes o''men? 23208 How fur did you haf to travel, Walky?"
23208How goes the battle, Janice?
23208How many are there of you, Sophie?
23208How much do you want?
23208How much?
23208How would you have felt, Mr. Dexter, if they really were yours?
23208How''ll I get him out?
23208How''s his fambly?
23208How''s the going?
23208Huh?
23208Huh?
23208Huh?
23208Hullo, Jimmy Gallagher, what you want?
23208Hunting a lodging? 23208 I can bring out the baby if I wrap her up good, ca n''t I, Marm?"
23208I declare, Miz Scattergood,said Aunt''Mira, with interest,"you here at this time o''night?
23208I suppose if I do n''t go ahead in the matter, the railroad will never get its branch road built into Polktown?
23208I want to know if_ you_ would mock at that poor man on the street?
23208I wonder if he can be the customer that Joe Bodley speaks of? 23208 I wonder if it can be_ did_?"
23208I wonder?
23208I wonder?
23208I''m a- backin''over the dump, ai n''t I? 23208 In what way?"
23208Including the liberty to get drunk-- and the children to follow the example of the grown men?
23208Indeed?
23208Is Mr. Drugg going to be away all night?
23208Is Mrs. Trimmins well? 23208 Is he Jack Besmith?"
23208Is he there?
23208Is n''t it dreadful that they should have taken up the selling of liquor there?
23208Is that one of them?
23208Is this it?
23208Is_ that_ liberty so precious?
23208Joe Pellet and Crawford there?
23208Lectures on coins?
23208Lectures?
23208List of them coins? 23208 Lost your taste for a man''s drink?"
23208Mamma''Rill,Lottie coaxed, patting her step- mother''s pink cheek,"you''ll let me sit up longer,''cause Janice is here-- won''t you?"
23208Marty,Janice put in quickly, before the bickering could go any further,"did you see little Lottie?
23208Me? 23208 Meaning me?"
23208Mr. Cross Moore?
23208No? 23208 No?
23208No?
23208No?
23208Nor anybody else?
23208Now, Janice,she suddenly heard Frank Bowman say,"what shall we do?"
23208Now, how about that fiddle, Hopewell? 23208 On the haouse?"
23208One of the''old masters,''eh?
23208Only a dollar?
23208S''pose he thinks there''s any more money in there ter steal?
23208Schoolhouse locked?
23208See my new dress? 23208 She changed a bill with you, did n''t she?"
23208She''d be a good''un ter tell secrets to, would n''t she?
23208Sit here an''twiddle our thumbs, and let that feller''t owns the coins come down on us for their value?
23208So, you wo n''t let go, eh?
23208Something to straighten him up-- eh?
23208Sugar- coated pills?
23208Suppose Sim Howell were your boy? 23208 Sure about this here janitor?"
23208Surely Hopewell is n''t making_ all_ that-- that music?
23208Tell her what?
23208That Hopewell''s become a toper and beats his wife?
23208That Lottie is truly going blind?
23208That Nelson Haley would run away?
23208That horrid old Jim Narnay-- you know him?
23208That''s what you wanted to do, was n''t it?
23208The Threads?
23208The coins?
23208Then Hopewell Drugg has been in the habit of drinking?
23208Then it is war between us?
23208Then they know who is the thief at last?
23208Then what can it be that has caused the trouble?
23208Then what do they accuse him of?
23208They ai n''t goin''ter send Mr. Haley to jail without a trial?
23208They ai n''t none o''them sick, be they?
23208They knew the agreement before they started in with you on the job, did n''t they?
23208To that awful bartender?
23208Tricks?
23208Twenty- two''s the best you kin do?
23208Wal, Jase Day, you''re so smart,drawled Cross Moore,"who d''ye reckon could ha''took the coins?"
23208Wal,drawled Uncle Jason,"it ai n''t so serious; I s''pose, but what you kin take bail for him?
23208Wal--''tain''t, is it?
23208Walky,he drawled,"what was the very hardest dollar you ever airned?
23208Want me to go any further with you?
23208Was I sick? 23208 Was my wife just in here?"
23208Was ye seein''double when ye did that trick?
23208Was you fresh from Lem Parraday''s bar when you backed the old feller over the dock?
23208Were n''t you and your papa lucky to get such a mamma?
23208What ca n''t? 23208 What can we do?"
23208What chance had you to oppose Lem Parraday''s license?
23208What d''ye know about this?
23208What d''ye know about_ that_?
23208What d''ye s''pose he''s after now?
23208What d''ye think''s happened ter that Lottie Drugg?
23208What d''yeou think of them fule committeemen startin''this yarn abeout Nelson Haley?
23208What did I tell ye? 23208 What did I want?"
23208What did he say?
23208What did he say?
23208What did he want to drink now for?
23208What did you do with the trays?
23208What did you want to buy, Frank?
23208What do folks say about it, Walky?
23208What do you make of it?
23208What do you mean, Jase Day?
23208What do you mean, Marty Day? 23208 What do you mean, Walky?"
23208What do you mean? 23208 What ever did you do?"
23208What ever do ye mean, Jason Day?
23208What good can it do? 23208 What good does it do you to go to school?
23208What good will money be to him if he''s stood up against one o''them dough walls and shot at by a lot of slantindicular- eyed heathen?
23208What have you to trouble you? 23208 What if there was?"
23208What in good gracious is the matter now?
23208What in tarnation is it, then, Dad?
23208What is it, Jimmy? 23208 What is it, Marty Day?"
23208What is it, Narnay?
23208What is one of the things you have learned?
23208What is the matter now, Walky?
23208What is the matter with Joe Bodley now, Walky?
23208What is the matter with him?
23208What is the matter, Janice?
23208What is the matter, Janice?
23208What kind of dance is it?

23208What''s eatin''on you, Maw?
23208What''s going to be done about this liquor selling, anyway?
23208What''s got ev''rybody? 23208 What''s happened to Hopewell?"
23208What''s happened?
23208What''s that, child?
23208What''s that? 23208 What''s that?"
23208What''s that?
23208What''s the matter o''that feller? 23208 What''s the matter of you folks?"
23208What''s the matter with Lottie Drugg?
23208What''s the matter with you lately, Walky?
23208What''s the matter with you? 23208 What''s this?
23208What''s this? 23208 What''s yours, Mister?"
23208What?
23208What?
23208Whatcher wanter talk that way for right in front of Janice? 23208 When I asked you,''How goes the battle?''
23208Where did I get the money? 23208 Where is the dance?"
23208Where they are going to have the Assembly Ball?
23208Where''d you git it, Hopewell?
23208Where''s your pop gone?
23208Where-- where did I get the gold piece?
23208Who from?
23208Who gave it to you?
23208Who would_ you_ accuse?
23208Who''s that?
23208Who''s the janitor?
23208Who''s this, now? 23208 Who-- Jim Narnay''s family?"
23208Who_ did_ take''em?
23208Why ai n''t I?
23208Why burden yourself with other people''s troubles?
23208Why do n''t they look inside----"Inside o''what?
23208Why do you say that?
23208Why not take Mr. Drugg there and see if Massey can give him something? 23208 Why not?"
23208Why not?
23208Why not?
23208Why not?
23208Why shall we?
23208Why, do n''t you see?
23208Why, what''s happened ye?
23208Why-- why, what can_ I_ do about it? 23208 Why-- why-- Is it valuable?"
23208Why?
23208Why_ before_ Nelson entered?
23208Will you put the window lamps out before you go, dear?
23208Wish_ we''d_ knowed there was all that cash so free and open up here in the schoolhouse-- heh, Jim?
23208With that sign a- swingin''there, Janice Day?
23208With_ that_?
23208Ya- as, ai n''t she?
23208Ye ai n''t goin''ter sell yer fiddle?
23208Ye wonder what, Jase Day?
23208Ye would n''t think so, would ye? 23208 Yep?"
23208You ai n''t goin''back on Nelson?
23208You air wishin''us prosperity whilst Lem sells pizen to his feller men?
23208You do n''t mean that, Miss Janice?
23208You do n''t mean the liquor selling has done him harm?
23208You going sleuthing for the thief, Miss Janice?
23208You have seen him this way before?
23208You knowed I could tell it?
23208You were alone in the store?
23208You''ll stay?
23208You''re one smart young feller, now, ai n''t ye?
23208_ But what is in it?_cried Janice, turning pale.
23208_ My_ campaign?
23208_ What_? 23208 _ What_?"
23208''Member that time, Cross, when we all went fishin''down to Pine Cove?
23208''Rill said, in surprise,"has n''t he turned it over to the man he said he bought it for?"
23208Again?"
23208Ai n''t it_ awful_?"
23208Ai n''t no ring to it?
23208Air ye all deef here?"
23208All of them?"
23208Although, by good rights, I suppose a''foxy- looking''person should be red- haired, eh?"
23208Am I foolish?
23208An''''cause I chaw terbaccer, is ev''ry white- headed kid in town goin''ter take up chawin''as a habit?
23208An''what for?"
23208And he''s drunk?"
23208And how about the councilmen who voted to let him have it?"
23208And how could Nelson prove his innocence?
23208And my little Virginia and all the rest of them?"
23208And then he slumped right down and practically asked her:"What are_ you_ going to do about it?"
23208And what d''ye s''pose I found when I went into Hopewell Drugg''s?"
23208And what d''ye think?"
23208And who could blame him?
23208And who had given the gold piece to the man, in either case?
23208And why should he not love you?"
23208And you''ve moved up into this neighborhood?"
23208As Uncle Jason says, what''s money when his precious life is in danger?"
23208Back of the drugstore?
23208Be you crazy?"
23208Beaseley?"
23208Bodley?"
23208Bowman and I. I do not suppose you remember our getting you out of the Lake View Inn?"
23208Bowman gone home, Janice?"
23208Bowman gone?
23208But''fore ye do that, what''ll ye take for the fiddle-- lowest cash price?''
23208Can we do that?"
23208Circus in town?
23208Come to think of it----""Well?"
23208Could Juan Dicampa''s influence, now that he was dead, compass their safety?
23208Could she not escape it?
23208D''ye really want to sell it?"
23208D''yeou mean to tell me Cross Moore and Massey and them other men air perfect fules?"
23208Day?"
23208Dexter?"
23208Dexter?"
23208Dexter?"
23208Did he bring the coin with him, or did he obtain it after reaching town?
23208Did n''t I see him myself?
23208Did n''t he sarve-- how many was it?--fourteen year, for Rachel?"
23208Did ye hire a nincompoop, I wanter know?
23208Did you notice the''still''the major''s got on?"
23208Did_ you_ git that five dollar coin?"
23208Do n''t I know that?"
23208Do n''t you see my bag?"
23208Do you know who did it?"
23208Do you s''pose he hurts her?"
23208Drugg?"
23208Drugg?"
23208Drugg?"
23208Drugg?"
23208Haley?"
23208Haley?"
23208Haley?"
23208Haley?"
23208Has he taken leave of his senses, a- makin''of the night higeous in that- a- way?
23208Has he?"
23208Have a snifter?"
23208He said to Janice:"You see now, ca n''t you, why I can not teach any longer?
23208He''d never let that precious violin out of his own hands, would he?"
23208Hear the noise?"
23208Hopewell?"
23208How can you?
23208How long d''ye s''pose he''ll last, loggin?"
23208How much?''
23208How would you feel to know that, at his age, he had been intoxicated?"
23208I do n''t blame them for wondering:''What''s the use?''
23208I should worry about the hold it might get upon you----""As it has on Jim Narnay?"
23208I thought ye said once that no man in Polktown could best ye-- if ye put yer mind to it?"
23208I thought you had that fiddle sold before you went to Hopewell arter it?"
23208I wonder?"
23208I''spect she was a spinster lady?"
23208If I can make a lettle spec on the side, who''s business is it but my own?"
23208If I put up this here property that we got, an''--an''anything happens-- not that I say anythin''will happen-- where''d we be?"
23208If Juan Dicampa should be removed what, then, would happen to Broxton Day?
23208If it had plenty of nourishment_ now_?"
23208If this-- this---- If Mr. Haley did n''t give you the coin,_ who did_?"
23208Indeed, her voice was rather sharp as she asked:"Is what true?"
23208Indeed, where would he go-- to whom turn in his trouble?
23208Is it you?"
23208Is money wuth life?"
23208Is n''t it a shame the way they talk about him?"
23208Is n''t it late?"
23208Is n''t it pretty?
23208Is n''t she just the bestest Mamma''Rill that ever was?"
23208Is that so?"
23208Is that so?"
23208Is the name of the maker inside the violin?
23208Is there anything funny in a man like that?"
23208Is your father at home now?"
23208Is-- is it dead?"
23208Is-- is your papa always like that?"
23208Is_ that_ the trouble with the Besmith boy?"
23208It did not seem possible that Hopewell''s instrument could be one of these beautifully wrought violins of the masters; yet----"Who knows?"
23208It do n''t, hey?"
23208It sounds awful, do n''t it?"
23208It_ ca n''t_ be so bad-- can it, Jason?"
23208Jack Besmith again?
23208Janice flushed and her answer came sharply:"And how about the other half of Polktown?"
23208Janice hastened to ask, first of all,"is it true?"
23208Janice sipped her tea and, looking over the edge of her cup at him, asked:"Having much trouble, Elder, with your new man?"
23208Janice would have been glad to take somebody into her confidence in this matter; but who should it be?
23208Listen to that ditty, will ye?"
23208Lost consciousness?
23208Ma says she ai n''t sure we''ll raise her and''twould be no use namin''her if she ai n''t going to be raised, would it?"
23208Massey and them others has got to save their own hides, ai n''t they?"
23208Massey?"
23208Massey?"
23208May I, Auntie?"
23208Meanwhile Hopewell was saying to Janice:"Miss Janice, how do you come here?
23208Mrs. Scattergood ejaculated:"What did I tell ye?"
23208Narnay?"
23208Narnay?"
23208Narnay?"
23208Nevertheless, how did Jim Narnay get hold of a five dollar gold piece?
23208Not a snake so early in the year?"
23208Now tell him, if you please: Have I passed a gold piece over your counter since the robbery-- that piece, or any other?"
23208Now, nobody else knew about the coins being in town----""Who was here with you, Mr. Massey, when the coins were delivered to your keeping?"
23208Now, now, Janice, what had we better do?
23208Once or twice they''ve kicked over the traces and gone on a spree----""That was when you paid them?"
23208One o''your cheap jokes?"
23208Poole''s a wonderful doctor-- ain''t he?
23208Remember how he talked for the new schoolhouse?
23208Remember?"
23208S''pose Janice breaks down on the road?"
23208She_ is_ sick, is n''t she?"
23208Soft jobs?"
23208Still, what can ye expect of the young gals when their mothers are given up to folly and dissipation?
23208Suppose Nelson had gone to Millhampton immediately when he was called there?
23208Surely, you''ve heard abeout this drefful thing, ai n''t you?"
23208Tain''t never Walky a- singin''like that, is it?"
23208That them old hens is sayin''sech things?"
23208That would kinder be in your line, would n''t it, Massey?"
23208That you, Schoolmaster?
23208The poor little children?"
23208The question is: How are we going about it to save Nelson?"
23208Then she turned swiftly to the civil engineer again and whispered:"What is it about?
23208Then, with sudden curiosity, she added:"What has that drug clerk got to do with the janitor of the school building?"
23208They gave him something to drink down at the Inn-- at that dance where he was playing his violin-- and it has made him ill. Do n''t you_ see_?"
23208Trimmins and Jim Narnay and that Besmith boy?"
23208Trimmins?"
23208Walky getting a hack?"
23208Walky is pretty well screwed- up, is n''t he?
23208Was it possible that her father received the missives?
23208We dry fellers have walked over ye in great shape-- ain''t that so?"
23208We''ll set the examination for next Saturday, then?"
23208What about?
23208What are you doing away up here on the hill?"
23208What are you talking about?"
23208What business had he up here at her uncle''s sheepfold?
23208What can I do for you?"
23208What d''I keer whether he pays me money or not?
23208What d''ye mean?
23208What did I tell ye?"
23208What did I tell you?"
23208What did he want Hopewell''s violin for?"
23208What did he want?"
23208What did it mean?
23208What did you do?"
23208What for, do you suppose?"
23208What had Jack Besmith to do with Nelson Haley''s troubles?
23208What had happened?
23208What has happened?"
23208What is he doing here?"
23208What matter if the season does change?
23208What really ages one in this life?
23208What sort of lectures?"
23208What sort of talk is that?"
23208What would Broxton Day do in this case?"
23208What would become of her as she grew into girlhood and womanhood?
23208What ye goin''ter do, Mr. Haley, if ye do n''t teach?"
23208What''s going on?"
23208What''s he think he''s doin''--takin''a swimmin''lesson?"
23208What''s that?"
23208What''s the matter?"
23208What''s your price?"
23208What_ has_ happened to poor little Lottie?"
23208Where did you get this one, Hopewell-- where''d you get it, I say?"
23208Where ye goin''to-- ye crazy ol''critter?"
23208Where you going to, Cross Moore?"
23208Who d''ye mean, Janice Day?
23208Who ever told Walky Dexter''t he could sing?"
23208Who knows?"
23208Who paid it in to you?
23208Who said anythin''about Mr. Haley goin''ter jail?"
23208Who would read her letter now that the guerrilla chief was dead?
23208Why could n''t they let him alone?"
23208Why do n''t you look where you are going?"
23208Why excite hope in his mind only, perhaps, to have it crushed again?
23208Why should it Hopewell?"
23208Will it surely die?"
23208Will this fade?"
23208Would n''t it?"
23208Ye see, they had the coins----""_ Who_ had_ what_ coins?"
23208Yer fiddle, Hopewell?"
23208Yer mother do n''t know yer out, does she?
23208You ai n''t entirely a stranger here, eh?"
23208You do n''t_ approve_ of the use of liquor, do you?"
23208You do not show it now, when you persecute this young man----""''Persecute''?
23208You know?"
23208You''re your own man, ai n''t ye?
23208You''ve told the girl yer mind, ai n''t ye?"
23208You_ do n''t_ use alcoholic beverages, do you?"
23208_ Again_?
23208_ Not yer father?_"gasped Aunt''Mira, staring with near- sighted eyes down the shadowy path.
23208ai n''t that the meanest thing ye ever heard?"
23208ai n''t this a purty to- do?"
23208chirped the little old woman to Janice,"did n''t I allus say it was the fullishest thing ever heard of for them two to marry?
23208chuckled Walky,"Guess Massey wants all the change in town in his own till, heh?"
23208did he?"
23208do n''t be too hard on him, will you?"
23208do you really expect me to tell you?"
23208do you think they will_ let_ Nelson teach again in the Polktown school?"
23208ejaculated Walky,"who''s talkin''about lodges?
23208exclaimed the druggist;"where did you get it?"
23208gasped Janice,"what can this mean?"
23208grunted Uncle Jason,"who''s this singin''bird a- comin''up the hill?
23208he muttered,"what''s got into him, I''d like for to be told?"
23208how be ye?"
23208how can I think of that, when here poor''Rill and Hopewell are in trouble?"
23208is she as bad as all that?"
23208is that so?
23208is that you, Janice Day?
23208is that you, Nelson?
23208she cried,"can you clear Mr. Haley?
23208she cried,"what do you mean?
23208sounds jest like''The Haouse That Jack Built,''do n''t it?
23208steal them coins when he''s the only person''cept the janitor that''s knowed to have a key to the school building?
23208surely you do n''t think for a moment I accuse you of having stolen the coin collection-- or having guilty knowledge of the theft?"
23208that you, Massey?"
23208want anything down town?"
23208was it counterfeit?"
23208what are you saying?"
23208what d''ye call it?"
23208what do you mean?"
23208what do you mean?"
23208what do you think of that?
23208what ever are we going to do for him?"
23208what would the world be without us women?"
23208what ye goin''ter do with a feller that tells ev''rything he knows jest because he''s axed?"
23208what you tryin''to get at, young lady?"
23208what''s good grammar?"
23208what''s that?"
23208what''s the matter wi''you folks?"
23208what''s the matter with Dexter?"
23208what''s the matter with you, Marty Day?"
23208what''s the matter?"
23208what''s this?"
23208what''s this?"
23208who''s this here comin''aboard?"
23208who_ could_ ha''done it?"
23208would n''t that be fine?"
23208ye know where Mink Creek crosses the road to Kittridge''s, Jason?"
23208you goin''to drag us under suspicion, Jase?"
23208you mean Jim Narnay?"
23208you_ do n''t_, do you?"
5893''Course I wo n''t if you do n''t want me to, only what DO you s''pose DID become of it?
5893A loss?
5893A nice Polly?
5893A young man?
5893ARE we?
5893Ah, my dears, how do you do?
5893Almost, are n''t you? 5893 And do you like old Egyptian things, too?
5893And us two also?
5893And was the party grand?
5893And was the window open?
5893And when will you be ready to tell?
5893And who looks after you now? 5893 And who would look after the girls?"
5893And you found another charmer?
5893And you were n''t here when he got out of his cage?
5893And you''ll forgive me, Alicia, for misjudging you?
5893And you''re sure he never leaves his cage?
5893And you, Dotty,he said,"how did it strike you?"
5893Any kin of Muriel''s?
5893Are n''t you going home on Wednesday?
5893Are they all bad?
5893Are they?
5893Are you a specimen I can use in my collection? 5893 Are you accusing Dolly of stealing that thing?"
5893Are you going anyway, Dots?
5893Are you going to buy out the whole shop, Alicia?
5893Are you sure you removed it from your frock, Miss Fayre?
5893Berwick? 5893 But WHY are we here?"
5893But do n''t you get lots of notes from-- from your audiences?
5893But do you?
5893But what did she say?
5893But what do you mean?
5893But what does your cousin mean by bringing a lot of money? 5893 But what for?"
5893But why did he ask for you?
5893But why did n''t they?
5893But wo n''t you go with us anywhere?
5893But you must come to these things we''re asking you for, wo n''t you?
5893But you told me about the joke Mr. Forbes played on you about the B. C. image, why might n''t one of you have taken this to tease him? 5893 But, DO you?"
5893But, Mr. Forbes,and the secretary spoke earnestly,"would these young ladies toss a valuable gem away carelessly?
5893But, sir, do you want to get back your gem, or not? 5893 By us?"
5893Ca n''t you bring yourself to permit that loss? 5893 Can I be of help?"
5893Can he fly as far as to go up to that window two stories higher than this? 5893 Can he fly?"
5893Can what? 5893 Can you dance?"
5893Could I go up to the room where the bird is?
5893Could any one have come in at the window?
5893Day after to- morrow? 5893 Did it ever occur to any of you,"he began,"that I invited you here for something beside a mere desire to give you young people some pleasure?"
5893Did you ever see such a perfectly horrid, hateful, contemptible old thing as that Fenn person?
5893Did you start out with that idea?
5893Did you-- where did you find it?
5893Do n''t you ever lose your temper?
5893Do n''t you have good things to eat at that nice school?
5893Do you MEAN it? 5893 Do you mean Uncle Jeff ordered that we should receive Mr. Coriell alone?"
5893Do you really want to go on the stage? 5893 Do you?"
5893Does your collection keep you so busy?
5893Dolly Fayre? 5893 Dotty, I''ll get mad at you, if you just sit there saying,''But do you?''
5893Early for a city party,insisted Alicia,"but it was an elaborate affair, after all, and what do you s''pose, Uncle Jeff?
5893Either it''s just lost, or else Mr. Fenn stole it,--or else--"Or else what?
5893Even if we are not doing it on the sly? 5893 Fenn?
5893Fly? 5893 Good time, girlies?"
5893Good- looking chap?
5893Goodness, Alicia,exclaimed Bernice,"do you think Uncle Jeff wo n''t give us enough to eat?"
5893Goodness, Dolly, ca n''t you decide a thing like that for yourself? 5893 Goodness, child, what do you mean?
5893H''m,he said,"this is Bernice; how do you do, my dear?
5893Have you enjoyed it all, so far, Alicia?
5893Have you told Bernice?
5893Have you? 5893 He tried his best to fasten it on Dolly--""Fasten the earring on?"
5893How are you going to make fudge with nothing but chocolate?
5893How did you ask her? 5893 How do YOU know?"
5893How do you know?
5893How do you like my room?
5893How is it different?
5893How old are you?
5893How shall I address him?
5893How''s your parrot?
5893Hullo, girlies,he said,"what''s up?
5893I do n''t wonder the old Egyptians loved this creature and carved their scarabs in its likeness, do you?
5893I hate to keep a diary, and what would be the use? 5893 I say, Doll, is THAT your best frock?"
5893I suppose not,said Ted, but Dolly said,"Let us see it, anyway, ca n''t you?
5893I suppose we''ll obey her?
5893I think I ought to tell Mr. Forbes, do n''t you?
5893If you know anything at all, tell us, wo n''t you?
5893Is Alicia here?
5893Is Dolly always so goody- goody?
5893Is it to be very grand? 5893 Is it-- is it all right?"
5893Is it? 5893 Is it?
5893Is n''t he queer? 5893 Is n''t it funny you should have been saying to- day that perhaps you might live in New York?"
5893Is n''t it too late?
5893Is n''t that Dolly all over?
5893Is n''t the ice fine to- day? 5893 Is she a dragon?"
5893Is she so very busy?
5893Is that a real stunt, Dolly?
5893Is that the way Miss Marie Desmond learned?
5893Is your brother''s wife living?
5893It sounds most mysterious,laughed Dolly,"ca n''t we guess what it''s all about?"
5893It''s bad enough to put up with that old Fenn''s hateful talk, but now Dolly''s gone queer, and you say Alicia has,--what ARE we to do?
5893It''s lovely,said Dolly, looking about at the pretty furnishings;"it''s in a sort of back extension, is n''t it?"
5893Just because of his craze for antiques?
5893Kleptomaniac?
5893Legerdemain?
5893Like the one we went to to- day?
5893Look here, old Professor Wiseacre, what dynasty does this junk belong to?
5893May I beg of you, Alicia,he said, sternly,"to cease raving over that man?
5893May I take it?
5893May n''t we see your collection?
5893May we have further enlightenment?
5893May we look out of your window?
5893Might n''t you have left it hooked into your lace, Dolly, and it''s there still? 5893 Musical?"
5893No,said Dotty, her black eyes dancing with the excitement of the scene;"what do you guess?"
5893No; but could n''t you board somewhere in New York?
5893None of us would take it wrongly, I''m sure-- but--"Well, but what?
5893Nothing, Dot, only do n''t talk about that gold thing, will you? 5893 Now you girls come to- night, wo n''t you?
5893Now, I''ll send tea in at quarter past four, is that your idea?
5893Now, what do we wear this evening?
5893Now, which am I?
5893Of course, it must be somewhere,--look here, Dollyrinda, you do n''t know anything about it, do you? 5893 Oh, Alicia,"cried Bernice,"what do you mean?"
5893Oh, Dollyrinda,she whispered as they stood in the hall,"do you s''pose your mother''ll EVER say yes?"
5893Oh, Mrs. Berry, wo n''t you be present?
5893Oh, Uncle Forbes, you did n''t think I took it, did you?
5893Oh, do you have a secretary?
5893Oh, is that it? 5893 Oh, may n''t we chum with you?"
5893Oh, that''s it, is it?
5893Oh, when shall I ever get these lovely things again? 5893 Oh,--well,--she DID ask you, did n''t she?
5893Oho, you have n''t, have n''t you?
5893Please, dear, sweet Dollyrinda, what DID the lady say?
5893Really? 5893 Sad at thoughts of going home?"
5893Shall I shut the window, Uncle Jeff?
5893So you''re going on the stage, are you?
5893Some milk, please,said Alicia,"and sugar, and butter,--""All the things for fudge, miss?"
5893Such as what?
5893Sunday, was it?
5893Take me there, will you? 5893 Tell us something about the old caretaker next door, wo n''t you?"
5893Tell you what?
5893Tennis, do n''t you?
5893That ISN''T very likely, is it?
5893That never was a live cat, was it?
5893That you, Joe?
5893That you, McPherson?
5893That''s so,agreed Alicia,"but how can she flout him so?
5893The blue voile for me,replied Dolly,"and-- er-- what is your name?"
5893Their figures are much like ours, are n''t they?
5893Then how can Marly be with him? 5893 Then why is n''t it there now?"
5893They can-- but will they?
5893This jewellery?
5893This, let us say?
5893This?
5893To Berwick, miss?
5893To the Metropolitan?
5893Took your fancy, did he?
5893Uncle Forbes, ca n''t we talk with you alone?
5893Want to sit down and rest a bit?
5893Was n''t that because he was made up as a young character in the play?
5893We have n''t ordered yet,--what do you girls want?
5893Well, Alicia sure is a wonder, is n''t she? 5893 Well, Alicia, how did you like your handsome, fascinating, young man?"
5893Well, look here,and Mr. Forbes''eyes twinkled"I ask you two, Dotty and Dolly, which of my two nieces is a greater favourite?"
5893Well, my dears,and he looked from one to another,"have you had a pleasant day?"
5893Well, well, Jim, hobnobbing with young people, are you?
5893Well, what of that? 5893 Well, what shall I do?"
5893Well, you ARE ready for the fray, are n''t you?
5893Well?
5893Were you surprised at our asking for this?
5893What IS going on?
5893What about school?
5893What ails Uncle?
5893What are notions?
5893What are you going to buy?
5893What are you going to wear, Dots?
5893What are you two confabbing about?
5893What are you, my dear?
5893What can it be, Uncle?
5893What did you hang up so soon for? 5893 What do YOU think of the idea?"
5893What do you do in vacation time?
5893What do you mean by that speech Dotty?
5893What do you mean by that?
5893What do you mean, you little minx?
5893What do you mean?
5893What does she mean by a secret reason for your going?
5893What for?
5893What have you lost?
5893What is it, Alicia?
5893What is it, Dolly?
5893What is it, Uncle? 5893 What is it, dearie?"
5893What is it? 5893 What is it?"
5893What is the oldest thing you have, Uncle?
5893What is? 5893 What kind of a bird is he?"
5893What makes you think we''re deceiving him?
5893What then?
5893What time shall we come?
5893What you want?
5893What''s Mrs. Berry like?
5893What''s he like?
5893What''s on for this morning?
5893What''s the matter, Dollums?
5893What''s the use?
5893What, sir? 5893 Whatamatter, Dollums?"
5893Whatever did you ask us for?
5893When did she go? 5893 When is it to be, to- morrow?"
5893When is this visit to be made?
5893Where CAN it be?
5893Where are you going? 5893 Where did you put it then?"
5893Where you been?
5893Where,--on the table?
5893Where?
5893Which frocks shall I leave out for dinner?
5893Which one of you do they like the best?
5893Who had it last?
5893Who is the unsatisfactory neighbour?
5893Who lives next door?
5893Who told you?
5893Who would n''t? 5893 Who, then?"
5893Who? 5893 Whose performance?
5893Whose plan is this?
5893Why did n''t you hand it back to me?
5893Why do n''t they all go one way?
5893Why do you call me Eddie?
5893Why do you keep such a bird?
5893Why do you say Dolly is suspected?
5893Why not?
5893Why not?
5893Why not?
5893Why, how can we tell that, right before them both?
5893Why, uncle,cried Alicia,"wo n''t we see you at all in the daytime?"
5893Why, you''ve practically said so to us, Uncle Jeff,laughed Alicia;"are you going to tell us your reason?"
5893Why?
5893Will Uncle Jeff come down, do you think?
5893Will we, do you s''pose?
5893Will you see about the tickets, Mrs. Berry? 5893 Wo n''t you go with us, Mrs. Berry,"asked Dolly,"to help pick them out?
5893Yes to what?
5893Yes, I''d love it, but how could I go there? 5893 Yes, Uncle Jeff,"responded Alicia;"will you stay and see our young man?"
5893Yes, but who first thought of it?
5893Yes, he would; why would n''t he?
5893Yes, here are old Egyptian trinkets,--aren''t they, Uncle Forbes?
5893Yes, what DO you mean, Dolly?
5893Yes; what table?
5893You like birds?
5893You stick to your taste for simpler parties?
5893''Member?"
5893A jewel, you say?"
5893And are you grand and elegant, too?"
5893And did you EVER see anything so crazy as Uncle Jeff?
5893And does he ever go out of this house?"
5893And now, Bernice and Alicia, have n''t you any young friends in town you''d like to invite to see you here?
5893And now, tell me, did you like the play?"
5893And these patent leather pumps, I daresay?"
5893And what are your plans for the morning?
5893And what''s the use of her doing anything I can do for myself?
5893And which one are you going to choose?"
5893And you, Bernice?
5893And, by the way, how''d you girls like to have a party, a real one?"
5893And, girls, wo n''t we have the great times having Alicia come to Berwick to see us all?"
5893And, say, are your own wardrobes full?"
5893Are n''t they beautiful?"
5893Are n''t you, Dollums?"
5893Are you a fashionable butterfly?
5893Are you all his nieces?"
5893Are you all sisters?
5893Are you glad?"
5893Are you going to be grand, also?"
5893Are you going to change your dress for luncheon?"
5893Are you going to the dance to- night?
5893Are you making fun of my antiques?
5893Are you sure you''re willing?"
5893Are you sure, Edith, you are willing?
5893Are you thinking somebody could spring across, take the jewel and spring back again?"
5893Are you two quarrelling?
5893Autographs?
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893But I do n''t know as we can go about much; I believe Mr. Forbes is quite an old man, and who will take us about?"
5893But I foresee these poky evenings right along, do n''t you?
5893But WHAT was that accident, and WHERE is the jewel?"
5893But how?"
5893But in that case, what did he do with it?
5893But is n''t it time we all went to bed?"
5893But we''ve enough to remember and think over for a long time, have n''t we?"
5893But who looks after you?"
5893But why should we?
5893But, Dolly, DO you?
5893But, where, ladies and gentlemen, WHERE I ask you, can I put it?
5893By telephone?"
5893C.?"
5893CHAPTER IV A MERRY QUARTETTE"Ready for dinner, girls?"
5893CHAPTER XVI WAS IT ALICIA?
5893Ca n''t we sit here?
5893Ca n''t we, Uncle Jeff?"
5893Can I, do you think?"
5893Can it be either of my two nieces who has done this wrong?
5893Can it be either of their two young friends?
5893Can we do just as we like?
5893Can we go to the art galleries and the shops alone?"
5893Can you all skate?
5893Can you come to- morrow or Friday?
5893Come, two D''s, what do you say?"
5893Coriell?"
5893Could n''t this window have been open Sunday, when Polly got out of his cage?"
5893Could she be referring to her intended elopement with Marly Turner?
5893Could we go to an evening performance?"
5893Did n''t you?"
5893Did one of you just borrow it?
5893Did she REALLY say that?"
5893Did she hold up her hands in horror?"
5893Did you bring your skates?
5893Did you make up the joke?"
5893Did you or did you NOT read that letter that''s in the pocket of my coat?"
5893Did you, Alicia?"
5893Did you?"
5893Do n''t think that you can go in there and say''May we?''
5893Do n''t you think it would be nice if he should come, with Mrs. Berry''s permission?"
5893Do n''t you think so, Perkins?"
5893Do they teach you manners and general society instruction?"
5893Do you know why he has asked us?
5893Do you mean it?
5893Do you s''pose I could have one single bit of fun going to places without you?
5893Do you think me flippant?"
5893Do you want ME to tell him?"
5893Do you want the car?"
5893Doll is n''t a prig,--is she, Bernice?"
5893Dolly began to think of school happenings; had she cut up any mischievous pranks or inadvertently done anything wrong?
5893Dolly realised that he had been about to say,"Did you decide to own up?"
5893Dotty, did you say you had some other suspicion?
5893Eh?"
5893Else why did he want not only Alicia and me but two of our friends to come for this visit?
5893Engaged?"
5893Expecting a party?
5893For a walk?"
5893Forbes?"
5893Forbes?"
5893Forbes?"
5893Forgotten me, have you?
5893Funny, is n''t it, how you like one person better''n anybody else?"
5893Have you any friends in New York, any of you?"
5893Have you seen it?"
5893Honest Injun?"
5893Hosmer?
5893How about that, Dolly?"
5893How about you, Dot?"
5893How can I find the thing, and clear you from suspicion if you have secrets from me?"
5893How can I think otherwise?
5893How did he get in?
5893How do you do?"
5893How should I know anything about it?"
5893How''s that?"
5893How''s that?"
5893How''s your wife, Jim?
5893I beg of you, my dear nieces,--my dear young friends,--I beseech you, tell me the truth, wo n''t you?"
5893I do n''t want to think so, but what alternative have I?
5893I just simply love the waffles here, do n''t you?"
5893I may go, may n''t I, Mrs. Berry?
5893I s''pose you can cut up larks in the country that you could n''t here?"
5893I say, Bernice,"she suddenly broke off,"why was he so curious about the way we live at home, and who brings us up?"
5893I say, Sam, do n''t you want these four angel children at your party?"
5893I say, ca n''t us fellows come to see you girls?
5893I say, may n''t we take you girls to the supper room?
5893I suppose it will be proper to dress up a good deal?"
5893I suppose you''ll room with your cousin, Bernice, and these other two girls together?"
5893I told you I had my chafing- dish; do n''t you girls feel fudgy?"
5893I''ll bet a pig these two stammering, blushing young misses are the far- famed Dolly and Dotty, but which is which?"
5893If you all agree?"
5893Invite parties, and all that?"
5893Is Alicia Steele that sort of a girl?"
5893Is he honest or-- or gives to thievery?"
5893Is it correct for us to go about alone, in your big motor, with your chauffeur?
5893Is n''t Alicia?"
5893Is n''t Mr. Turner acting?"
5893Is that it?"
5893It is n''t a boarding school, is it?"
5893It''s lots of work, is n''t it, to get them all properly catalogued and labelled?"
5893Join us in a cup of tea, wo n''t you?"
5893Knapp?
5893Let me see,--how about silk sweaters?
5893Marly Turner?
5893May I?"
5893May we?"
5893Mrs. Berry, what do you think became of the earring?"
5893Muriel all right?"
5893No?
5893None of us would think of such a thing, would we, girls?"
5893Not invited?
5893Now which is Miss Forbes?"
5893Now, Bernice, what do you choose?"
5893Now, do we dress for to- night''s party before dinner or after?"
5893Now, do you come to this fudge party or do you go to bed?"
5893Now, what matinee do you want to go to?
5893Now, what play?"
5893Now, will you go and ask her?
5893Of course we did n''t expect you''d be dressed like the Lascar, or-- or-- made up,--isn''t that what you call it?
5893Oh, Bernice, can we go somewhere in a taxicab while we''re there?"
5893Oh, Dot, would n''t it have been awful if we had gone home with that doubt hanging over us?"
5893Oh, WON''T your mother let you?"
5893Oh, girls, is n''t he the grandest man?
5893Or do n''t you eat?"
5893Or tickets for a box?
5893Or would you rather have a box party at the theatre?"
5893Our very bestest?"
5893Polly want a cracker?"
5893Presently two boys drifted toward our quartette, and one of them said,"What''ll be the show, do you know?"
5893Really?"
5893S''pose I go home with you after the show; may I?"
5893See here, have you all proper frocks to wear?
5893See?
5893See?"
5893Shall I go alone, or take you three chatterboxes along?"
5893Shall I return for the tray, miss?"
5893Shall I tell you which is which, or let you guess?"
5893She is your chum, is n''t she?
5893She paid no attention to Fenn''s talk; she stared at Mrs. Berry, saying,"Has she really gone?"
5893She went to that very table?"
5893Should she go to Mr. Forbes and tell him where the jewel was,--or, should she not?
5893Small town?"
5893So I''m grand and elegant, am I?
5893So you enjoyed it, did you?
5893Surely no intruder came up by way of the stairs; I ca n''t believe any one came in by the window, and what other way is there?"
5893That''s a party dress, is n''t it?"
5893The Fair Dolly?"
5893The girls stared at him blankly, and at last, Bernice said,"Which one?"
5893The question is, may Dolly go?"
5893The question is, what will your parents say?"
5893There, WHO''S a good ambassador?"
5893To study it as a curio or anything like that?"
5893Turner?"
5893Was n''t Sunday that warm, pleasant day?
5893Was nobody in the room?"
5893Was this found in a tomb?"
5893We ca n''t go anywhere alone, can we?"
5893Well, my dears, are you interested to know my choice?"
5893Well, then, do I understand, that you accept my invitation to live with me?"
5893Well, what did you think of it, Dolly?"
5893Well, what shall I wear?"
5893Were you hit so hard?"
5893What IS the matter?"
5893What about clothes, Mumsie?"
5893What are we going to do?"
5893What can I think but that you have it yet?
5893What could such a gathering mean?
5893What do you like best, next to skating?"
5893What do you mean?"
5893What do you mean?"
5893What do you mean?"
5893What do you suppose, Bernice, he asked us here for, anyway?"
5893What do you want?
5893What do your mothers let you do at home?
5893What else could bring Mr. Forbes to the Roses''on what was very evidently an important errand?
5893What frocks, ladies?
5893What has got into you, Dollyrinda?
5893What is it?"
5893What is the matter?"
5893What put you on the track in the first place?"
5893What shall I do first, Mr. Brown, to prepare for the light opera stage?"
5893What shall us talk about?"
5893What shall we talk about?"
5893What time?"
5893What would you like, Bernice?"
5893What would your mother care?"
5893What''s a joke?"
5893What''s the matter with you, Dolly, why ca n''t you tell me what you know?
5893What''s the matter?"
5893What?
5893When do we go?"
5893When will you be back, Miss Fayre?"
5893When?
5893When?"
5893When?"
5893Where are your checks?
5893Where could the jewel be?
5893Where did you lay the earring when you took it from your dress?"
5893Where do you want to go now?"
5893Where?
5893Where?"
5893Which one has the accumulating tendency?"
5893Which one of you wanted to talk to me?
5893Who are the boys?
5893Who got permission to invite your old Coriell man to tea?
5893Who took her?"
5893Who took the earring first, when Mr. Forbes handed it out from the case?"
5893Who''s stage struck?"
5893Whose parrot is it?
5893Why did he ask those things over and over?"
5893Why did he do it, anyway?"
5893Why did n''t you let US talk to him?
5893Why did n''t_ I_ think of that?
5893Why did you bring so much?"
5893Why not?
5893Why should I ask Mrs. Berry for what YOU want?"
5893Why would n''t they fit in?"
5893Why, Mr. Turner is an actor, is n''t he?"
5893Why, we will have all we can do to see the shops and the sights-- I suppose we can go around sight- seeing?"
5893Why, where can it be?"
5893Will you all come up to the museum and hunt?
5893Will you be good little girls, and not finger the exhibits, except such as I say you may?"
5893Will you come to see me at my uncle''s house, Mr. Jefferson Forbes?
5893Will you tell me if I can?"
5893With an old- fashioned bow, he took a seat near them, and asked,"Did you receive certain important documents?"
5893Would it be all right?"
5893Would she elope from the party, or return home first?
5893Yes?
5893You do my share of the clearing up, wo n''t you, Dot?"
5893You do that, will you?"
5893You say he can fly, but would he be likely to fly UP?"
5893Your father''s sister, is n''t it?"
5893and Bernice looked exasperated;"are you going to tell us all about it or not?"
5893and Joe started;"of fine work, but all broken and bent?"
5893and she hooked the trinket into the lace at her throat,"is n''t it becoming?"
5893cried Alicia, hope rising in her breast that this was not the great actor after all,"are n''t you Bayne Coriell?"
5893cried Alicia,"are you sure that''s just what he said?"
5893cried Dolly, her face turning white,"do you suppose any thing''s wrong at home?
5893cried Dotty;"who thought of a parrot?
5893do you know anything, ANYTHING at all, about the earring?"
5893exclaimed Bernice;"may n''t we have a window open, uncle?"
5893exclaimed Bernice;"why do you like to hear people talk fast?"
5893exclaimed her mother, when she saw her,"Where''s my baby?
5893grumbled Alicia;"why not for me?"
5893is that so?
5893laughed the old man,"Now, Dolly, see if you can beat that?"
5893said Ted;"I say, Dolly, take me to speak to Mrs. Berry, wo n''t you?"
5893spoke up Alicia;"who, please?"
5893the parrot?"
5893what,--oh, vouchsafe to deign to tell us, WHAT did she say?"
20071''As yer brought news of Sue, boy?
20071''Ave he missed me yet?
20071''Ow is father?
20071''Ow long''ud they be wicked enough to keep me there fur what I never did?
20071''Ow long''ud they keep me there?
20071''Ow''s Giles? 20071 ''Tain''t true, ma''am, is it?"
20071A little, fat, podgy kind o''woman- gel, wid a fine crop o''freckles and sandy hair?
20071About when does he expect father home?
20071Afore I do anything,said Connie--"''ave you''ad your tea?"
20071Ai n''t he a real beauty to- night?
20071Ai n''t it fine?

20071And I''ll see him to- night?
20071And did she ever make you go a little, tiny bit in front of her?
20071And did she tell you the names of the poor little critters?
20071And had that''ere Harris much money?
20071And is he coming to see you one day?
20071And she wore a big, big cloak, with pockets inside?
20071And then wot became of you?
20071And w''y were n''t yer frightened, Giles?

20071Burned, father?
20071But Giles-- Giles?
20071But are you strong enough to be moved, Giles?
20071But please-- please,said Ronald, who had suddenly lost all his fear,"may Connie come, too?"
20071But tell me, Ronald,continued Connie,"how was it yer got the fever?"
20071But tell me-- do tell me-- is his father really dead?
20071But what could she do with us?
20071But what do you think, Connie? 20071 But what is she stayin fur?"

20071But why should yer do that, ma''am? 20071 But why-- why?"
20071But wot did you want? 20071 But,"said Connie, her voice trembling,"is he wery, wery ill?"
20071Ca n''t people be like that now?

20071Can I help you, ma''am?
20071Can us see her?
20071Can you bear a bit o''pine?
20071Can you recall his name?
20071Certainly; but where is the boy?
20071Cinderella,he said,"am I to act as yer prince or not?"
20071Connie back?
20071Connie dear, could n''t we send her a message to come straight home to me now? 20071 Connie"--the man''s whole tone altered--"what will you give me if I let you go?"
20071Connie, Connie-- where are we?
20071Connie, if we can unpick the lock and get the door open, where shall we go?
20071Connie, wot were that as I read last?
20071Connie,he said after a minute,"be yer really meanin''to spend the night with me?"
20071Connie,he said after a time,"it''s the worst of all dreadful things, is n''t it, to pretend that you are what you are n''t?"
20071Connie?
20071Could n''t you try?
20071Cut up? 20071 Did yer never yere of a man called Tennyson?
20071Did yer''ear wot he said now?

20071Do n''t I know wot a dear little boy wants? 20071 Do n''t fit yer, do n''t they?"
20071Do n''t they? 20071 Do n''t yer think, Cinderella, as it wor_ he_ put the locket in your pocket?"
20071Do n''t yer?
20071Do n''t you think as you could jest keep back to- day, Mary Jones? 20071 Do yer believe that, Sue?"
20071Do yer mean that Giles is goin''--goin''right aw''y?
20071Do yer promise?
20071Do yer think as he''ll come soon?
20071Do yer, promise?
20071Do you mean dead? 20071 Do you really, really think so?"
20071Do you think that matters?
20071Do you think, by chance, that his name was Harvey?
20071Ef yer please, parson, may I speak to yer''bout Giles and me?
20071Eh?
20071Father John,said Ronald--"who is he?"
20071Father,said Connie again,"may I go and spend the night''long o''Giles?
20071Find her?
20071Giles is worse, Pickles,said Connie,"an''wot''s to be done?"
20071Giles, I need n''t, need I? 20071 Has any one come down from the top floor?"
20071Has my father come back?
20071Has my father missed me?
20071Has n''t Connie come back?
20071Have I?
20071Have yer no name for the pore child?
20071Have you a father, Connie?
20071Have you heard from him? 20071 Have you no plan in your head?
20071Have you?
20071He could n''t manage to run away and escape afterwards?
20071Help?
20071How be yer, Ronald?
20071How can you tell that_ was_ what Big Ben said?
20071How can you tell?
20071How could he hear?
20071How is the little chap?
20071How long were you with her, Ronald?
20071How long were you with that woman Warren?
20071I did wot?
20071I do n''t want you to worry yourself, dear; but can you recall anybody ever calling to see your mother-- anybody who might be a relation of yours?
20071I dunno; only Big Ben----"Giles dear, wot_ do_ yer mean?
20071I fond o''poetry?
20071I guessed long ago-- didn''t I, Connie?
20071I make''lowance fur yer tears-- ye''re but a gel, and I allow as the picture''s dark-- but who hever is Giles? 20071 I suppose,"she added,"there''s no doubt in yer moind that I''_ ave_ come from the parients of the boy?"
20071I want to go wid yer; only wot am I to do with Giles?
20071I''m right, ai n''t I?
20071In the woods is he, now?
20071In this room, sir?
20071Is Father John looking for her too?
20071Is he likely to come soon?
20071Is he quite right in the''ead now?
20071Is his name Harvey-- same as mine?
20071Is it Connie Harris?
20071Is it Ronald?
20071Is my father in?
20071Is n''t it cold?
20071Is this real, real country?
20071Is your father in London?
20071Is''e wery bad?
20071It is certainly against the rules, but-- will you stay here for a few minutes and I''ll speak to the ward superintendent?
20071It''s a beautiful verse, is n''t it, Connie?
20071Little Ronald''s a real gent--_''e''s_ the son of a hofficer in''Is Majesty''s harmy, an''the hofficer''s name is Major Harvey, V. C."What?
20071Lor'', now, did he?
20071Lost-- you say? 20071 Lost?"
20071Ma''am,said Connie,"wot do yer mean by his death not bein''confirmed?"
20071May I go, Giles? 20071 May I speak to yer, ma''am?"
20071May I take Connie along, please, sir?
20071May n''t I speak, sir?
20071Mother,interrupted Sue,"does yer think as Providence''ull get me constant work at the sewing, enough to keep Giles and me?"
20071Mr. Harris,said Sue, all of a sudden,"you were cruel to Connie last night; but w''en she comes back again you''ll be different, wo n''t yer?"
20071Must I''ave a new name too?
20071My father guv you your breakfast?
20071Next clue-- shall I''elp yer a bit? 20071 No doubt, my dear,"said the policeman;"but of course you wo n''t object to be searched?"
20071No news of his sister, I suppose?
20071No one has paid her, dear?
20071No talk o''dark rooms and nasty nightmares and cruel old women? 20071 No, madam?"
20071Not there? 20071 Now must I give her a blow, or must I not?"
20071Now, Cinderella,he began,"you say as ye''re hinnercent o''that''ere theft?"
20071Now, Jamie, what do you mean?
20071Now, ai n''t I good?
20071Now, what hever do yer mean by that?
20071Now,said the widow,"what can I do for you?"
20071Of course, there is little doubt that Major Harvey is dead; but you could call at the War Office and inquire, mother, could n''t you?
20071Oh Giles-- wot?
20071Oh, have you got a mother?
20071Oh, how so, Connie?
20071Oh, how will he get in? 20071 Oh, please, father,"said Connie,"ef you be goin''out, may I go''long and pay Giles a wisit?

20071You have news of her?
20071You saw Sue to- day?
20071You surely do n''t mean little Connie Harris? 20071 You wo n''t say?
20071You would n''t be inclined, now, that we should have hour talk hover a pint of hot coffee? 20071 You would n''t know your way back again?"
20071You would n''t tell a lie, would you, girl?
20071You''d win the V. C., Ronald, would n''t you, now?
20071You''re not afraid of the streets, my poor little child?

20071Agnes, now, can go and tell yer father, and bring wot clothes yer want to- morrow.--Agnes, yer''ll do that, wo n''t yer?"
20071Ai n''t it natural that Mrs. Warren should want yer to stay now she ha''got yer?
20071Ai n''t it now?"
20071Ai n''t yer hin luck not to be in prison, and ai n''t that a subject for rejoicing?
20071All those things quite forgot?"
20071An''did yer never read that most touching story of the consumptive gel called the''May Queen''?
20071And am I to have naught but grumbles for my pains?
20071And does she find it wery beautiful?"
20071And ef poor, ugly Mammy Warren''ave made herself still uglier for yer sweet sakes,''oo can but love''er for the ennoblin''deed?
20071And may I ax how old you are, my love?"
20071And now, do n''t you feel very anxious about your father and your old friends?"
20071And she come''ere-- and I turned her off?
20071And what amount of money ought I to give you for the woman?"
20071And when''ull she be back?"
20071And where are the stones?
20071And would Father John look for her?
20071And would her own people ever find her?
20071And you would n''t like to give her a kiss fur me?"
20071And''oo''s he?"
20071And''ow''s Giles?"
20071Are you taking me to him?"
20071Are you?
20071As soon as she entered the room he said one word to her--"When?"
20071Be yer fond o''poetry yerself, Agnes?"
20071But I ca n''t remember where the country is-- can you, Connie?"
20071But about Sue?
20071But do you want me to help you?"
20071But now, ca n''t yer guess where she his?"
20071But now, wot do you think of it all?"
20071But where be she?
20071But''ave yer nothing else to say''bout her?"
20071C.?"
20071Ca n''t you take me back to him now-- can''t you?"
20071Can I help you?"
20071Connie was the name of one----""Connie?"
20071Connie, wull yer sing to me?"
20071Could she not get out of that house and go back to Sue and Giles?
20071Cricket?"
20071Dare you?"
20071Did Connie tell you about that?"
20071Did yer never see the country?"
20071Do n''t I work for yer, and toil for yer?
20071Do n''t yer s''pose as yer''ll be advertised?"
20071Do n''t yer think as it''ull break_ his_ heart ef yer is tuk ter prison?
20071Do n''t you believe it?"
20071Do yer mind?"
20071Do you know anything about her?"
20071Do you know why?"
20071Do you promise?"
20071Do you think I''d allow yer to spile yer purty face with the fire beatin''on it?
20071Do you think, Connie, that Mammy Warren could have invented that story about him?"
20071Dressed shabby, no doubt, and wid hard- hearted sisters-- but had n''t she small feet, now?
20071Ere we to betray the hinnercent?"
20071Father did worse things than that-- why should I be afraid?"
20071First, tell me, how is the little lame chap as is fretting fur his sister wot is kept in the country?"
20071Ha''n''t I jest rescued yer from the hands o''that''ere nipper?"
20071Ha''n''t she, stoo- pid?"
20071Had anything happened?
20071Hanythink else?"
20071Harris?"
20071Have you been in a fire?"
20071Have you brought news of Ronald?
20071Have you ever considered what a truly fascinating thing a girl''s hand is?"
20071He''ll be a nice companion for yer, Connie, and yer''ll like that, wo n''t you?"
20071Her father and I are in great trouble about the child----""What child?"
20071How do you do?"
20071How do you s''pose, mother, as the locket did get inter Cinderella''s pocket?"
20071How long?
20071I ca n''t go back, can I, Giles-- can I?"
20071I know all about it: Yer''ll stop that-- d''yer''ear-- d''yer''ear?"
20071I s''pose, as the disguise is ter change me, will it make me beautiful?
20071I think w''en they''re full- grown----""Wot then?"
20071I was not a bit frightened at first, of course, for my father''s boy must n''t be a coward, must he, Connie?"
20071I''d manage so to terrify him aforehand that he''d have ter confess----""And then he''d be put in prison?"
20071I''m going away to a much better place, ai n''t I, Connie?"
20071In his case, that is the best sort of illness, is it not?
20071Is he wery cut up?"
20071Is it in love you be-- an''you not fourteen years of age?
20071Is that other little party alive or dead?
20071Is that what she''s staying fur?"
20071Is the furnace in proper order?"
20071Is there a neighbor who would sit with him?"
20071Is your story quite true, little girl?"
20071It has been a long time-- wery, wery long-- but have I been patient''bout Sue all this long time, Connie?"
20071It said in cheerful tones:"Why have n''t you fire here, and a candle?
20071It''s a little bit hard to be very patient, is n''t it, Connie?"
20071It''s a''most like''eaven to think of the country-- ain''t it, Connie?"
20071Machine- work-- attic work?--Shop?"
20071May I come?"
20071Mr. Harris, wot does yer think?
20071Never neglect a friend-- eh?
20071Not to''ome?"
20071Now speak the truth, full and solemn; be yer hinnercent?"
20071Now then, look spruce, wo n''t yer?"
20071Now then-- yer ai n''t frightened, be yer?"
20071Now, Cinderella, wot kind o''man wor that''ere Peter Harris wot went wid yer to the shop?"
20071Now, Pickles, my boy, wot have you got in the back o''your''ead?
20071Now, do you want to have a shelter for yourself and your little brother to- night?''
20071Now, w''en a stranger seeks yer hout, is n''t it safe to s''pose as he brings news?"
20071Now, will you speak?
20071Now, wot''s yer favorite character?
20071Now-- do yer promise?"
20071Oh, could the awful moment ever come when Giles would look at him with reproachful eyes-- when Giles would turn away from him?
20071Oh, sir, will you, jest because mother did trusten so werry much?"
20071On their way Connie turned innocently to her companion and said:"Why ever did yer say as we lived in Portland Mansions?"
20071One word has been changed from the original to correctly identify the speaker, Agnes, replying to Connie''s question: p. 27 original:"Wot sort?"
20071Or do yer want somethin''better?
20071Please, Father John,_ you_ wo n''t ask me?"
20071Please, please, Pickles, where is she?"
20071Shall I take yer''ome first, or wull yer come with me?"
20071Shall I tell you other things that father did?"
20071Shall I?"
20071Shall us both come in?"
20071She put her hand on my shoulder and said,''Wotever are you doing here?''
20071She went to the door and, before opening it, called out,"Who''s there?"
20071She worn''t a wandering sort o''gel, as neglected her home duties, wor she?"
20071She would n''t''ave tuk all her things ef she meant to come; would she, Ronald?"
20071She''s not a real kind person, is she, Connie?"
20071So late?"
20071Suddenly, however, he winked, and said in a shrill, cheerful tone:"Well, then, plucky''un,''ow does yer find yerself now?"
20071Sue, did you never consider that maybe ef we''re good and patient Lord Christ''ull take us to''eaven any day?"
20071That was''ow I pulled''i m round.--Wasn''t it, Ronald, my dear?"
20071Them be thieves, bean''t they?"
20071There now,''oo''s that a- knockin''at the door?"
20071There, now-- ain''t that fine?"
20071This child is n''t for us; let her alone in future.--Are you ready, Connie?"
20071WHAT WAS HARRIS TO HER?
20071WHAT WAS HARRIS TO HER?
20071Warren''s?"
20071Warren?"
20071Warren?"
20071Warren?"
20071Warren?"
20071Was any one within?
20071Was he drunk?
20071Was it more than a coincidence?
20071Was it the roar of human voices or the roar of something else-- a devouring and awful element?
20071Was she late?
20071Was this another and a rougher way of taking her to the lock- up?
20071Was this queer boy friend or foe?
20071Was this the man she was to be so dreadfully afraid of?
20071Welcome my lass home?
20071Well now, madam, will you see to this?
20071What did the girl mean?
20071What new and dreadful departure was this?
20071What was it?
20071What was the matter?
20071What was the matter?
20071What was this cowardly Harris to her that she should risk so much and suffer so sorely for his sake?
20071What was to be done?
20071What was wrong with pretty Connie, and why did she not go with her?
20071What would she not give to hear his magnificent voice as he preached to the people once again?
20071What would yer mother s''y ef she knew?"
20071What_ did_ Cinderella mean?
20071What_ has_ happened, Connie-- what_ has_ happened?"
20071Where are yer to go to?
20071Where be she?
20071Where could she be?
20071Where in all the world could she be?
20071Where is she?
20071Where was she?
20071Where''ud she be likely ter be?
20071Where?
20071Wherever is my little gel?"
20071Who are you running away from?"
20071Who could tell if his father himself might not have returned, and might not be there, and might not hear him if he sang loud enough and sweet enough?
20071Who, I''d like to know,''ud employ a prison lass-- and what else''ud you be?"
20071Why be you so chuff to poor Sue, and whatever''ave you got to say?"
20071Why did that boy speak like that?
20071Why did yer say so?"
20071Why did you run away?"
20071Why should n''t it be for you?
20071Why was she absent?
20071Why, Connie, ca n''t you guess that we''ve been praying for you?"
20071Why, oh why did not his father come to fetch him?
20071Why, to mother, of course-- where else?"
20071Why?
20071Will it cost you so much money to keep yourself and Giles in that little attic?"
20071Will yer take a message back to Sue?"
20071Will you come in, and I''ll fetch him?"
20071Will you come?"
20071Will you wash first and have a bit of breakfast, or shall I tell you now?"
20071Will you write the note, Connie?"
20071Worn''t Cinderella wot might''ave bin called beautiful?
20071Wot be Giles to me?"
20071Wot could be wrong?
20071Wot did yer do with her, Father John?"
20071Wot do yer take me fur?
20071Wot do yer think I come''ere for so often but jest to comfort the poor thing an''bring her news o''Giles?
20071Wot do yer think Mammy Warren wanted yer for?"
20071Wot''s to be done?
20071Wot''s up?
20071Wotever''s the hour?
20071Wotever''s the matter with yer, Connie?"
20071Wottever is to be done, father?"
20071Wottever is to be done?
20071Wottever''ud take her to the country at this time o''year?"
20071Would Sue be satisfied that Connie was not quite lost?
20071Would any one in all the world think of the little machinist if she sallied forth in purple silk and Paisley shawl?
20071Would he again turn her out into the street?
20071Would he give her up for ever?
20071Would n''t I jest jump at gettin''into your shoes if I could?
20071Would not her own father search heaven and earth to find his only child?
20071Would that long day ever come to an end?
20071Would you like to see her again?"
20071Wull yer do that, Agnes-- wull yer, now?"
20071Yer do n''t think as yer father''ll be''ome to- night, Connie?"
20071Yer want to know who''s_ he_?
20071Yes, she knows all, Sue does; but, Mr. Harris----""Yes; wot have I to say to this tale?
20071You and me wo n''t disgrace our fathers, will we, Giles?"
20071You could n''t help me, now, ter find a guilty party?"
20071You go out arter you ha''been at my house?
20071You ha''never seen little Giles Mason?"
20071You have n''t an idea what it is like, have you?"
20071You know the way there; you wo n''t let yourself be kidnapped any more, will you, Connie?"
20071You know wot to do?"
20071You refuse my goodness?
20071You surely have not been frightening her with the base idea that we would give her up, my boy?"
20071You wants ter live in a cottage in the country, do n''t yer?"
20071You would n''t mind my treating yer, jest fer once, would yer?"
20071You yere me, Connie?
20071You''asn''t, so to speak, lost something lately-- thimble, or a pair of scissors, or something o''that sort?"
20071You''ll take me to see him, and then you''ll bring me back, wo n''t you, Connie?"
20071You_ ai n''t_ goin''to work to- day-- be you, Connie?"
20071_ You would_ like that, would n''t you?"
20071ai n''t the world strange and difficult to live in?
20071and ai n''t it lucky for the kid?
20071and wot''s yer name, boy?"
20071but, mother, may n''t I tell her my own self?
20071continued Mrs. Nelson,"w''y hever should Sue be so late-- and this night, of all nights?"
20071could n''t yer take her a little bit of a present?"
20071have yer heard of her?"
20071how hever could he?"
20071how is he?
20071is she really lost?
20071replacement:"Wot sort?"
20071said Connie--"burglars?
20071what do yer think?
20071why did those words sound through the room unless there_ is_ trouble about Sue?"
20071with that drinkin''father o''yourn, wot do you want all alone by yer lonesome?
20071wo n''t my little Giles be glad?"
20071wot do you want wid him?"
20071wot is she staying fur?
20071you back?"
20071you have a little brother, Cinderella?"
16215''Odd''s- my- life!--what''s that?
16215A countryman of yours, Terry?
16215A friend is not so soon gained as lost,replied Wood;"but how has the prediction been fulfilled, Joan, eh?"
16215A promise to my mother?
16215A short man, is n''t he, about your height, Sir,--with a yellow beard, and a face as sly as a fox''s?
16215Alone?
16215And Jack?
16215And by whom were they both destroyed?
16215And disappoint Mr. Wild, Captain?
16215And do you think I''ll allow you to depart,cried Jonathan in a menacing tone,"and compromise_ my_ safety?
16215And have my escapes really made so much noise as to reach the ear of royalty?
16215And leave you thus?
16215And now, shall we proceed to Queenhithe?
16215And now,he continued, sternly,"was it your master who has just ridden by?"
16215And so we''re to be summoned from our beds and snug firesides, because a kid happens to squall, eh? 16215 And so you''ll turn highwayman, will you, you young dog?"
16215And so you''ve given up all hope of escaping, eh, Jack?
16215And so, you really suspected me?
16215And the rings?
16215And the will?
16215And what course do you propose to pursue in reference to him?
16215And what do you suppose we mean to do with you, eh?
16215And what''ll we get for the job, yer hon''r?
16215And what-- what was your answer?
16215And who is its mother?
16215And who is this Van Gal-- Gal-- what''s his outlandish name?
16215And who taught it you-- the landlord, Joe Hind?
16215And who''ll find us, if we do?
16215And why not, old saltwater?
16215And why not?
16215And will swear to it?
16215And you expect me to believe you after what has passed?
16215And you flatter yourself you can detain me?
16215And you will answer it frankly?
16215And you would surrender yourself-- eh?
16215And, does any of our bright blood flow in the veins of a ruffianly housebreaker?
16215And, what good would that do?
16215Answer me one question first?
16215Anything else, Sir?
16215Anything else?
16215Anything, my dear,replied Wood,"What is it?"
16215Are you Mr. Jonathan Wild?
16215Are you alone?
16215Are you answered?
16215Are you aware that I am her ladyship''s brother?
16215Are you his ghost, then?
16215Are you hurt, Thames?
16215Are you man, or fiend?
16215Are you my son? 16215 Are you not that man''s mistress?"
16215Are you ready?
16215Are you sure of that?
16215Are you sure of this?
16215Are you sure these bars touch the ground?
16215Are you the mother of this child?
16215Ask him who he is?
16215At all hazards then then you shall know the truth,replied the woollen- draper, in a tone of affected solicitude,--"but are you really prepared?"
16215Ay, where are they?
16215Ay, where are they?
16215But are you really there?
16215But pray tell me if her husband has escaped?
16215But vere''ll be the use o''vinnin''? 16215 But why did n''t you make yourself known at once?"
16215But you will,--won''t you?
16215But, mother, may n''t I sit up to see whether Thames returns?
16215But, what of that? 16215 But, where''s the strange gentleman I saw under the table?"
16215By those who''ve conspired with me?
16215Ca n''t ve call for asshistanche?
16215Ca n''t we break it off?
16215Ca n''t you guess?
16215Ca n''t you speak?
16215Ca n''t you take me with you?
16215Can I have a word with you, master?
16215Can I help you, Jack?
16215Can I not carry you where you can obtain help?
16215Can I trust him?
16215Can not?
16215Can you make me honest?
16215Can you make me other than a condemned felon? 16215 Can you not love him?"
16215Captain,he cried, in a voice of the bitterest anguish,"have these dogs again hunted you down?
16215Caught you napping, eh?
16215Concerning whom?
16215Constance alive? 16215 Did I hear you aright?"
16215Did n''t I tell you how it would be?
16215Did you discover any trace of footsteps?
16215Do n''t affront me, Owen, by asking such a question,returned the landlord;"had n''t you better stop and finish the bottle?"
16215Do n''t you hear those shouts? 16215 Do n''t you know me, mother?"
16215Do they treat you ill?
16215Do you affect ignorance that I am a condemned felon, and can inherit nothing? 16215 Do you call neglecting your work, and singing flash songs nothing?
16215Do you call ten guineas easy terms?
16215Do you call this frantic glee happiness?
16215Do you compare_ your_ love-- a love which all may purchase-- with_ hers_? 16215 Do you dare to insinuate that Mrs. Wood governs me?"
16215Do you happen to know Jonathan Wild, master?
16215Do you hear me?
16215Do you intend to claim the privileges of the Mint?
16215Do you know anything further of Sir Rowland?
16215Do you know this picture?
16215Do you know what you are talking about, Mrs. Spurling? 16215 Do you mean to say that if I support your kid, I sha n''t bring him up how I please-- eh?"
16215Do you mock me?
16215Do you not know me, father?
16215Do you recollect this key? 16215 Do you refuse my toast?"
16215Do you see any likeness?
16215Do you submit?
16215Do you take me for a thief- catcher, like Jonathan Wild, that you dare to affront me by such a proposal?
16215Do you take me for as great a villain as yourself, Sir?
16215Do you think I do n''t know my own business?
16215Do you think I would take a harlot to my bed, if it did n''t suit my purposes to do so?
16215Do you think I''d part with the sweetest morsel of revenge on those terms? 16215 Do you think I''d take the trouble to announce_ him_?
16215Do you think I''m afeard of a beggarly thief- taker and his myrmidons? 16215 Do you think so?"
16215Do you think we are to be disturbed in this way? 16215 Do you wish to earn a rich reward, my good friend?"
16215Does that villain still maintain his power?
16215Does your father doubt it? 16215 For procuring my imprisonment?"
16215For what?
16215For what?
16215For whom, Sir?
16215From Jonathan Wild''s confidential servant what could be expected but treachery?
16215From Mr. Corbet Kynaston, then? 16215 From some of your associates?"
16215From whom?
16215Gone? 16215 Gracious Heaven!--is she the inmate of a mad- house?"
16215Had n''t Jack better go with us?
16215Had n''t you better hold a moment''s parley with the gentlemen before proceeding to extremities?
16215Has Jack displeased you? 16215 Has Jonathan Wild been here to- day?"
16215Has any one been here?
16215Has he escaped?
16215Have I ever broken my word in such matters, that he dares put the question?
16215Have I said anything to offend you?
16215Have nine years so changed me, that there is no trace left of your adopted son?
16215Have you acquainted him with Lady Trafford''s departure?
16215Have you any reason to suppose he survived the accident?
16215Have you been more successful, Sir?
16215Have you broken out of the cage, Jack?
16215Have you got Jonathan out of the way?
16215Have you never an out- o- the- vay corner, into vich you could shtow these troublesome warmint?
16215Have you seen him?
16215Have you sent off the note?
16215Have you told him so?
16215He is respited?
16215He then,continued the woollen- draper,"is no longer considered--""How, Sir?"
16215Her ladyship will pass through it?
16215Here we are,cried the chairmen, hurrying out of the court with their swinging vehicle,"where is he?"
16215His life-- or yours?
16215His name, then?
16215Holloa-- what''s that?
16215How are you off there, Shoplatch?
16215How did you escape?
16215How do I know you are a friend?
16215How do you know he_ has_ any rights to be restored to?
16215How do you know that?
16215How do you mean to act, Sir?
16215How does Jack bear it?
16215How go you like your quarters, sauce- box?
16215How had he offended you?
16215How has he unfastened his padlock? 16215 How have you contrived to still these troubled waters?"
16215How have you managed to communicate with him?
16215How have you procured these things?
16215How long may it be since that boy was found in the way Mrs. Wood mentions?
16215How should I know?
16215How so?
16215How so?
16215How so?
16215How so?
16215How soon do you expect Mishter Vudd?
16215How, Sir?
16215How?
16215How?
16215How?
16215I am,replied Wild;"have you anything to allege to the contrary?"
16215I did n''t want it,replied Jack;"but who are those gentlemen?"
16215I do n''t ask you to liberate me,urged Thames;"but will you convey a message for me?"
16215I suppose it did n''t drop through the ceiling, did it? 16215 I''m almost afraid to state it,"faltered the other;"but, may I ask whether Mr. Wood, the carpenter, who formerly resided here, is still living?"
16215If I ask you to part with him, my good woman, it''s to better his condition, I suppose, ai n''t it?
16215If this is the case, where is she?
16215If you_ are_ human,rejoined Trenchard, with stern emphasis,"I insist upon knowing whence you derived your information?"
16215In case he_ should_, I say,continued Thames,"will_ you_ promise to let Jack Sheppard take my place in your affections, Winny?"
16215In case of need you will lend a helping hand?
16215In what way, Sir?
16215In whose favour is it made?
16215Indeed!--who is it?
16215Is Mr. Wood among them?
16215Is Thames returned from London?
16215Is he leaving England?
16215Is it a bargain?
16215Is it by lettin''you go, my darlin'', that I''m to airn it?
16215Is it gold?
16215Is it indeed you, or am I dreaming?
16215Is it poison?
16215Is it you?
16215Is it you?
16215Is my house to be made a receptacle for all your natural children, Sir? 16215 Is she alive?"
16215Is she alive?
16215Is she dead?
16215Is she married?
16215Is that all? 16215 Is the case of watches on board?"
16215Is the governor within?
16215Is the guv''ner consarned in this job?
16215Is the poor lady alive?
16215Is the sloop ready to sail?
16215Is this Jack Sheppard? 16215 Is this Misther Wudd''s, my pretty miss?"
16215Is this a season to speak on such a subject?
16215Is this true, Sir?
16215Is this_ her_ work?
16215Is your father alive?
16215Is your master at home?
16215Is your person in danger?
16215It would be a thousand pities, would n''t it, to put so promising a lad out of the way?
16215Jack''s mother?
16215Jack,said Kneebone, who had been considerably interested by the foregoing scene,"are these regrets for your past life sincere?"
16215May I ask whether you made any further inquiries into the mysterious affair about which we were speaking just now?
16215May I beg to know whom I''ve the pleasure of adressing? 16215 May I trust you?"
16215May I trust you?
16215My love you''re beside yourself--"I was beside myself to take charge of your--"Mother?
16215No-- Sheppard?
16215Now Sir,he added, glancing suspiciously at the applicant"your business?"
16215Now, tell me why they brought you here?
16215Of course; who has not? 16215 Of what am I accused?"
16215Oh, you''re here, are you?
16215On what business, in the name of wonder?
16215Perhaps he is from Lord Derwentwater, or Mr. Forster? 16215 Quilt Arnold, is that you?"
16215Quilt!--Mendez!--Where are you?
16215Rather cramped, eh?
16215Remove him to the Middle Stone Hold,--watch over him night and day, do you mind?
16215Respecting Thames Darrell?
16215Shall I fetch it for you, Sir?
16215Shall I fetch the light, Captain?
16215Shall I help you on with it, Sir?
16215Shall I shoot him?
16215Shall ve go back to de other room?
16215Shall we do so?
16215Shir Rowland Trenchard''s affair-- eh?
16215Shpeak up, vill you?
16215Sir Rowland,said Jonathan, turning to the knight,"will it please you to remain here till I return, or will you accompany us?"
16215Slave?
16215Something fresh on hand, I suppose?
16215Suppose them so,rejoined Jack,"what then?"
16215Surely, you have n''t stolen it?
16215Surely,screamed Mrs. Wood, joining the group,"it is n''t Thames Darrell come to life again?"
16215Thames Ditton-- is that your name?
16215That''s an incorrigible rascal,he added, as Sheppard closed the door;"it''s only to- day that I discovered--""What?"
16215That''s him to a hair?
16215That''s the kinchin as was to try the dub for us, ai n''t it?
16215The same who was here just now?
16215Them''s catchpoles, I s''pose, Sir, arter the gemman with a writ?
16215Then I presume you''ve not been arrested?
16215Then the sooner I''m off the better,cried Wood;"what''s to pay, David?"
16215Then this is not my child?
16215They''re lifting her out of the carriage,interposed Charcam;"will it please your honour to send for some advice and the chaplain?"
16215This locket,he said, taking a little ornament attached to a black ribband from his breast, and giving it her,--"do you remember it?"
16215To me?
16215To- night, your ladyship?
16215Too proud, eh?
16215Vat ish it, Mishter Vild?
16215Vell,he growled, addressing Quilt,"you know who''s here, I suppose?"
16215Vill this do?
16215Vot are you?
16215Vot o''that?
16215Vy do n''t you talk to your partner, or Saint Giles, if you vant conversation, Aaron?
16215Was it_ unlooked- for_ on your part?
16215Was n''t he in some way connected with the Jacobite plots?
16215Was that thunder?
16215Well, Jack,he said, after a pause,"are you disposed to go back quietly with me?"
16215Well, Joan,said the benevolent mechanic, after he had looked at her steadfastly for a few moments,"what say you?--silence gives consent, eh?"
16215Well, Sir, his name?
16215Well, Sir?
16215Well, Sir?
16215Well, like or not, I''m greatly pleased with it, and must beg it from you as a memorial----"Of what?
16215Well, my pretty dears,he added,"--to see your husband, eh?
16215Well, what sort of journey have you had, Quilt?
16215Were you present at the time of the robbery?
16215What am I to do to earn it?
16215What apprentice?
16215What are you doing with him?
16215What are you waiting for?
16215What can be done for him?
16215What did the old fellow judge from, eh, Joan?
16215What did you do?
16215What did you ring for, Sir?
16215What did you say to him?
16215What do you mean by that, sirrah?
16215What do you mean, Sir?
16215What do you mean?
16215What do you mean?
16215What do you require further?
16215What do you think of your nephew, Sir Rowland?
16215What do you think of_ my_ sketch, Jack?
16215What do you want fot that coat, friend?
16215What do you want with me?
16215What do you want?
16215What does Mr. Kent say to it?
16215What does he say?
16215What does it signify?
16215What faith is to be kept with a felon?
16215What for?
16215What for?
16215What for?
16215What has become of Jack Sheppard?
16215What has caused this quarrel, Thames?
16215What has delayed you?
16215What has put it into your head that your son yet lives?
16215What have you seen?
16215What if he_ did_ escape?
16215What is all this, dear Winny?
16215What is he gone there for?
16215What is it?
16215What is it?
16215What is it?
16215What is it?
16215What is this to me, Sir?
16215What is this?
16215What means this idle boasting, villain?
16215What motive can you have for so vile a deed?
16215What motive have you for concealment?
16215What of her?
16215What of her?
16215What proof have you of the truth of this story?
16215What right have you to suppose this, Sir?
16215What say you to carrying her off, Captain?
16215What say you, Sir?
16215What shall I do? 16215 What shall I do?"
16215What shall we do, Poll?
16215What should I do here alone if I were an enemy? 16215 What should I retract, villain?"
16215What should I tempt you to?
16215What the devil are you howling about?
16215What the devil makes you out so late? 16215 What the devil''s in the wind now, Captain?"
16215What threat?
16215What time is it?
16215What villain?
16215What weight are these irons?
16215What will you do?
16215What would my poor mother say to it?
16215What''s all this?
16215What''s that to you?
16215What''s that to you?
16215What''s that you''re saying about Jack Sheppard?
16215What''s that you''re taking to Sir Rowland Trenchard''s?
16215What''s that?
16215What''s that?
16215What''s that?
16215What''s the matter with the man?
16215What''s the matter?
16215What''s the matter?
16215What''s the matter?
16215What''s the matter?
16215What''s the meaning of all this?
16215What''s the use of wasting a shot?
16215What''s this here kinchen_ in_ for?
16215What''s to be done next?
16215What''s your name?
16215When did you see him, my love?
16215When is he to suffer?
16215Where am I to take it to?
16215Where am I?
16215Where are the assassins?
16215Where are the boys?
16215Where are the packets committed to your charge by Sir Rowland Trenchard?
16215Where are they?
16215Where are you going?
16215Where are you going?
16215Where are you going?
16215Where are you?
16215Where can I hide myself?
16215Where did you get it?
16215Where did you get this from?
16215Where did you learn the song I heard just now?
16215Where did_ he_ get it?
16215Where is he, then?
16215Where is he?
16215Where is he?
16215Where is he?
16215Where is he?
16215Where is it?
16215Where is my mother?
16215Where is she?
16215Where is the boy?
16215Where is your accursed master?
16215Where shall I fly?
16215Where to, honey?
16215Where to, master?
16215Where''s Thames?
16215Where-- where?
16215Where?
16215Where?
16215Who are the others?
16215Who are they?
16215Who are you?
16215Who are you?
16215Who cares if we do?
16215Who is he?
16215Who is it, Bess?
16215Who is it?
16215Who is n''t it like?
16215Who knows but this key may open a golden lock one of these days?
16215Who told you this is his portrait?
16215Who took it thence?
16215Who''s lost?
16215Who''s that queer cove in the full- bottomed wig?
16215Who''s there?
16215Who''s there?
16215Who''ve you got with you?
16215Who, then?
16215Who-- who is the Marquis de Chatillon?
16215Who? 16215 Who?"
16215Who?
16215Who?
16215Whom do you mean?
16215Whose child can this be?
16215Whose grave is this?
16215Whose house do you want, master?
16215Why came she here?
16215Why did I not keep the money when I had it?
16215Why did n''t you come out when I called you, you young dog?
16215Why do n''t you answer, sirrah?
16215Why do you ask?
16215Why how''s this?
16215Why not?
16215Why not?
16215Why were you afraid to show me this picture, Winny?
16215Why what will she say?
16215Why you would n''t stand in the way of his good fortune sure_ly_? 16215 Why, I thought he''d broken your head, Terry?"
16215Why, how else would you be taken?
16215Why, how the devil did you happen to guess that?
16215Why, surely you do n''t mean Jack Sheppard?
16215Why, what the devil would you have had me do!--make myself scarce, eh? 16215 Why, what the devil''s this?"
16215Why, what''ll you do?
16215Why, you do n''t think as how they''re crimps, do you?
16215Will he consent, to be searched?
16215Will he post the cole? 16215 Will that do?"
16215Will you do it?
16215Will you plead?
16215Will you take a guinea for it?
16215With me?
16215Without further fee?
16215Wo n''t my life do as well as his?
16215Wo n''t one from me do as well?
16215Wo n''t you be persuaded, Joan?
16215Wo n''t you go?
16215Wo n''t you take me?
16215Wood''s daughter, I suppose?
16215Would you expose yourself to fresh risk? 16215 Would you have had him spare my mother''s murderer?"
16215Yes, or no?
16215Yes-- what do you mean, Ma''am?
16215You agree to my proposal, then?
16215You believe it, father?
16215You can, of course, identify this picture as Lady Trafford''s property?
16215You do n''t inquire what brings Sir James Thornhill here?
16215You do n''t recollect me, I presume?
16215You have made no such arrangements as will compromise me, I hope, Sir Rowland?
16215You hay''n''t hurt your arm, I trust, my dear?
16215You remember that starling, Sir Rowland,he said maliciously,"and what occurred on it, twelve years ago?"
16215You think so, eh?
16215You were no doubt surprised by the unlooked- for intelligence I sent you of your nephew''s return?
16215You''ll take the consequences, then?
16215You''re not hurt I hope, Sir Rowland?
16215You''ve got him?
16215Your answer, gem''men?
16215Your business, Sir?
16215Your father will never oppose your happiness, my dear, I''m sure,said Mrs. Sheppard;"but, what has this to do with me?"
16215Your secret?
16215_ Can_ you do so?
16215_ Did_ he say so?
16215_ He_ threatens, does he?
16215_ Only_ as a brother?
16215_ Your_ uncle, Sir Rowland?
16215--''What is it, Mint?''
16215Ai n''t he, Madam?''"
16215Ai n''t we, partner?"
16215Ai n''t you, Jacky darling?"
16215Am I mistaken?
16215Am I quite hidden?"
16215And how comes his cloak on this knave''s shoulders?"
16215And now tell me what has happened to my poor mother?"
16215And now, Sir, have I kept faith with you?"
16215And shall their wretched offspring live to blight my hopes, and blast my fame?
16215And so Misther Wudd lives near the Black Lion, eh?"
16215And then the fetters, which were still upon his legs:--how was he to get rid of them?
16215And who may that be?"
16215And who or what shall give me comfort when my son is gone?
16215Another instance was that of Toby Tanner--""No more of this,"interrupted Trenchard;"where is the boy?"
16215Are we to see him here?"
16215Are you Jack?"
16215Are you now satisfied?"
16215Are you quite shure you have n''t another alyas, Masther Thames Ditton?"
16215Are you quite sure it''s flesh and blood?"
16215Are you sure you''re not misinformed, Sir?"
16215Are_ you_ my accuser?"
16215Ask him that?"
16215Besides, how am I to ride home without them?"
16215But about dat jonker,"he continued, lowering his voice;"have you anything to add consarnin''him?
16215But do not awaken my apprehension, unless you have good cause for so doing.--What do you know of Thames?--Where is he?"
16215But tell me,"he added with much anxiety,"has nothing been heard of Thames since the night of my former escape?"
16215But what''s to be done?"
16215But why do you ask?"
16215But you will stay here?"
16215But, gentlemen, though they talked so largely, and looked so fiercely, they did_ not_ do it; they did_ not_ hang the bailiffs; and where are they?"
16215But, if I were in your place, I know what I''d do--""What-- what would you do?"
16215But, suppose I''ve no place to lock''em up in, how then?"
16215But, what brought you here?"
16215By the by, Mr. Hogarth, did n''t I see you last night at the ridotto with Lady Thornhill and her pretty daughter?"
16215By the by, my dear, I forgot to ask your name-- perhaps you''ll oblige me with it now?
16215Can I see him?"
16215Can you inform us whence it came?"
16215Can you make me not Jack Sheppard?"
16215Could it be him you mean?"
16215D''ye hear how the wanes creaks on old Winchester House?
16215D''ye suppose I''m always thinking of the petticoats?
16215Dare we look back upon the darkened vista, and, in imagination retrace the path we have trod?
16215David Pugh, do n''t you know your old friend and countryman?"
16215Did you search the yard, fool?"
16215Do I, Bess, eh?"
16215Do n''t you hear how you''ve made it cry?"
16215Do n''t you see they''re putting on their cloaks?"
16215Do they, Bess?"
16215Do you accept it?"
16215Do you comprehend what I say, Joan?"
16215Do you hear me, Sir?
16215Do you hear?"
16215Do you know this, Sir?"
16215Do you know whoso portrait this is?"
16215Do you live here?"
16215Do you promise to do this?"
16215Do you recollect to whom you gave it, and for what purpose?
16215Do you remember what I said when you took me at the Mint four days ago?
16215Do you think he''ll pay it?"
16215Do you think we could manage that old clothesman between us, if we got out of this box?"
16215Do you think_ I_ forget it?
16215Figg?"
16215Figg?"
16215Has he given you the tools?"
16215Has not the loved one been estranged by doubt, or snatched from us by the cold hand of death?
16215Has our success in life been commensurate with our own desires-- with the anticipations formed of us by others?
16215Has your ladyship any further commands?"
16215Have I your final answer?"
16215Have you dared to insult this lady?
16215Have you done the trick at Dollis Hill?--brought off the swag-- eh?"
16215Have you heard the name before?"
16215Have you no feeling for the situation of those poor disconsolate creatures, about to be bereaved of all they hold dear?
16215How came you by the hurt, eh?"
16215How came you to know it?
16215I hope I have n''t given any unintentional offence?"
16215I need scarcely ask whether you''ve executed your appointed task, my dear?
16215I''ll try a strong dose.--Am I to understand that you intend to plead guilty, Sir Rowland?"
16215I''ve engaged to watch over you as a son, and I_ will_ do so as far as I''m able; but if you neglect my advice, what chance have I of benefitting you?
16215In spite of his care, he came in contact with a man, who, endeavouring to grasp him, cried, in the voice of Mendez,"Who goes dere?
16215Is Jack what Mrs. Wood represents him?"
16215Is it nothing to part with a husband to the gallows?
16215Is your heart mine?"
16215It''s plain he do n''t understand our lingo; as, how should he?
16215Jackson?"
16215Kneebone?"
16215Let me see my child, if he is really here?"
16215May I be permitted, as a very old and very dear friend of your lamented parent, whose loss I shall ever deplore, to ask you one question?"
16215Might n''t he just as reasonably complain of your being a Hanoverian and a Presbyterian?
16215Mr. Kneebone, are these your French noblemen?"
16215No, I do n''t, either; because----""Well, Winny?"
16215Nothing has gone wrong here?"
16215Now do you see his motive?"
16215Now, Sir, will you please to follow me?"
16215Now, the reward?"
16215Now, will you stand aside?"
16215Of whom?"
16215Or, are we not blighted in heart, as in ambition?
16215Owen Wood, is it you?"
16215Perhaps,"he added, opening a warrant,"you''ll obey this mandate?"
16215Pitt?"
16215Pitt?"
16215Quilt Arnold, my man, is it you?
16215Shall I bring off anything?"
16215Shall I put them into water?"
16215Shall we turn back?"
16215Shotbolt?"
16215Shotbolt?"
16215Since Jack has left us, what does it matter whether he''s pleased or not?"
16215Sir Rowland,"he added, in a deep whisper,"do you agree to my terms?"
16215So saying, he advanced towards the window, threw open the sash, and called out in the voice of Thames Darrell,"Who''s there?"
16215Tell me, Sir,"she added, with forced calmness, and grasping Wood''s arm;"what has Jack done?
16215Thames glanced at the despatch, and, after a moment''s reflection, inquired,"In what way is the attempt upon my life to be made?"
16215Then, perhaps, you can tell me when he intends to put his threat into execution?"
16215Trifle useful?"
16215Vot am I to do vith these young imps, eh?"
16215Was anything missed after the lad''s departure, Sir Rowland?"
16215We''ll see whether he''ll get rid of his new bonds?"
16215We''re two good- looking fellows, ai n''t we?"
16215Were Captain Darrell to offer you his hand, would you accept it?"
16215What are you to do with a mad mother at a time when you need all your wits to take care of yourself?"
16215What female entered the house with us?"
16215What has become of the other?"
16215What has she to with Constance Trenchard?"
16215What have I left but despair and madness?
16215What have you got to say?"
16215What is it?"
16215What more could any reasonable man-- especially a watchman-- desire?
16215What of that?"
16215What was to hinder me, if I had been so inclined, from directing them to your retreat?"
16215What will you give me to save you from your pursuers?"
16215What would my poor wife say to it, if she could come to life again?
16215What''s it like, Joan?"
16215What''s this?"
16215What''s- your- name?"
16215What_ did_ you promise?"
16215When they got to the door, Jack opened it, and, mimicking the voice of the jailer, shouted,"Now, my lads, all''s ready?"
16215When were you last confessed, Sir Rowland?"
16215Where are the aspirations that fired us-- the passions that consumed us then?
16215Where are the bailiffs?
16215Where are the dreams of ambition in which, twelve years ago, we indulged?
16215Where is Father Spencer?
16215Where is Sir Rowland?"
16215Where is he, Sir?
16215Where is he?"
16215Where is he?"
16215Where''s Jonathan?"
16215Where''s Marvel?"
16215Which is the nearest way to the river?"
16215Who are they?"
16215Who but_ you_ would have dreamed of giving the boy such a name?
16215Why is the door fastened?
16215Why was he there?
16215Why, Nab, you shake as if you''d got an ague?"
16215Will he come down with the dues?
16215Will that do?"
16215Will that rouse you, coward?"
16215Will you allow yourself to be beaten by a couple of kids?"
16215Will you go?
16215Will you not, brother?"
16215Will you take me?"
16215Will you tell her that?"
16215Will you venture?"
16215Wo n''t you, Jack?"
16215Wood?"
16215Would you sell yourself to this fiend?"
16215You do not believe his statement?"
16215You hear what I say, Quilt?"
16215You informed Sir Rowland that Thames Darrell was returned?"
16215You understand me, sirrah?"
16215You would n''t rob Mr. Wild''s chief janizary?"
16215You''ve heard of the Marquis of Slaughterford, belike?"
16215You''ve heard the news, I suppose?"
16215Your laugh reminds me of-- of----""Whose, Sir?"
16215Your name?"
16215Yours?"
16215_ I_ advised you to feed him, and clothe him, and treat him like his betters; to put up with his insolence, and wink at his faults?
16215_ I_ advised you to take him as an apprentice; and, so far from getting the regular fee with him, to give him a salary?
16215_ Tol- de- rol!_""Vot the devil are you about, noisy?"
16215asked Blueskin, with a disgusting leer,--"cut a throat-- or throw myself at your feet-- eh, my dear?"
16215by what wonderful chance have you come hither so seasonably?"
16215cried Gay, in astonishment;"is this slight- made stripling Jack Sheppard?
16215cried Jack, looking round, and trying to fix his inebriate gaze upon the speaker,--"who''s that?"
16215cried Rowland, making a furious pass at the carpenter, who fortunately avoided the thrust in the darkness;"will nothing silence you?"
16215cried Sir Rowland, rising and drawing his sword;"do you think you can shackle my free will, villain?"
16215cried Thames, advancing,"what is the meaning of your reference to my name?
16215cried Thames;"are you, indeed, my mother?"
16215cried Wild, taking up the body,"what are you afraid of?
16215cried Wild; but, checking himself, he turned to Ireton and asked,"How long have the women been gone?"
16215cried he in a tone of surprise,"you have an infant there?"
16215do you know what you do?
16215do you think so?"
16215do you trifle with me, sirrah?"
16215echoed Rachel;"at this time of night?"
16215echoed the knight;"what of her?"
16215ejaculated Jonathan:"can he have escaped?
16215ejaculated Terence, in alarm,"would you turn snitch on your old pal, Quilt?"
16215ejaculated the carpenter, rubbing his eyes,"can-- can it be?"
16215ejaculated the knight, in the extremity of surprise;"has_ he_ betrayed his sacred trust?"
16215exclaimed Jack, planting himself before the door;"do you want to get me sent across the water?"
16215exclaimed Jack, with a roguish wink,"I''ve caught you,--have I?"
16215exclaimed Mrs. Sheppard, hastily;"is that the name?"
16215exclaimed Mrs. Sheppard,"are you come to renew your terrible proposals?"
16215exclaimed Quilt, turning fiercely upon him,"do you threaten?"
16215exclaimed Quilt,"did you kill him?"
16215exclaimed Sharples:"wot new- fledged bantam''s this?"
16215exclaimed Trenchard, starting,"is he so highly born?"
16215exclaimed Trenchard,--"of Wych Street?"
16215growled the singer, as he brought his ditty to a close;"will nothing tempt her out?
16215have you cut old Wood''s throat?"
16215have you lost your tongue?
16215he cried,"do you think I would n''t have secured you before this if I had n''t some motive for my forbearance?"
16215he exclaimed, with a sudden start, as his glance fell upon the portrait;"how came this into your possession, boy?"
16215he told you that, did he?"
16215hussy, dare you threaten?"
16215interposed Sheppard,"are we to be kept here all night?"
16215is this possible?"
16215or shall I refresh your memory?"
16215replied Terence:"but, bless your angilic face, how did you contrive to guess that?"
16215said Wood, almost driven to his wit''s- end;"perhaps it is n''t regular?"
16215said she, in a low, but agitated voice;"would you earn this purse?"
16215say you so?
16215shouted a rough voice from below,"where the devil are you?"
16215that one so highly born should submit to such a degradation?"
16215that was all, was it?"
16215that''s nothing?
16215the rascal must have picked my pocket of your letters,"whispered Kneebone,"What''s to be done?"
16215they are-- are they?"
16215what can I have done with it?
16215what is that?"
16215what''s all this?"
16215what''s he doing here?"
16215what''s that?"
16215what''s that?"
16215what''s this?"
16215what''s this?"
16215what''s this?"
16215where is my gallant of high degree?''
16215who have we here?"
16215why am I not obeyed?"
16215why do you call me by that name?"
16215why would you not listen to me?"
16215will you see your child strangled before your eyes, and not so much as scream for help?"
16215would you take him from me?--would you murder him?"
16215yes we are,''says he.--''How so?''
16215you black devil!--Gone?"
16215you did, did you?"
2452''Di-- de-- di-- de--''Now where on earth have I put that pencil, Babbie?
2452''Twan''t purgatory, was it?
2452''What are you talkin''about, Phin?'' 2452 ''Where is it, Phin?''"
2452A WHICH fish?
2452A past? 2452 A riddle?"
2452A suspicious character is an important one, ai n''t it? 2452 A-- a forget- me- not is a kind of flower, is n''t it?"
2452A-- a what?
2452About his bein''wounded? 2452 After-- which?"
2452Ai n''t goin''to be any other company, is there?
2452All of it? 2452 All right, what is the trifling thing?"
2452An unprotected female, eh? 2452 And after you got there?"
2452And did THEY never invite you here?
2452And did n''t he give you any of the seven dollars?
2452And does it make the wind blow no''theast by no''th and-- and like that?
2452And he is going to tell?
2452And how did the-- er-- professin''poll parrot act about your payin''it back?
2452And shall I call you''Step- Uncle Jed''?
2452And the money he gave you was not the money you lost? 2452 And then--?"
2452And we will still be friends? 2452 And what more do I want than that?"
2452And you can spare a few minutes? 2452 And you do n''t mind having her here?
2452And you have n''t rented it since?
2452And you knew he''d gone?
2452And you sold one of those kittens for five dollars?
2452And you will congratulate me? 2452 And you''ll contradict''em, too, eh, Phin?"
2452And you? 2452 And your father, would you have told him?"
2452And-- and Charlie?
2452And-- and you and Babbie would stay right here if-- if you thought I wanted you to?
2452And-- and''tain''t because you ca n''t stand me any longer, same as Mother used to say?
2452Any money to take to the bank?
2452Are you deaf or are you tryin''to get my goat?
2452Are you here? 2452 Are you sick, Phin?"
2452Are you stung again?
2452Are you sure you had it when you left Wapatomac?
2452Are you? 2452 Are you?"
2452At the moon? 2452 Babbie,"said Jed,"let me see that boat of yours a minute, will you?"
2452Back again so soon? 2452 Band?
2452Bones in what? 2452 But ca n''t you make it flap its wings, Uncle Jed?"
2452But did n''t you ASK for anything?
2452But do n''t you think that means that he was wondering whether or not he should ask her?
2452But have n''t you eaten anything?
2452But how can I-- like this? 2452 But if we tell him-- tell him everything, we shall only make matters worse, sha n''t we?
2452But say, Major, how in the world did you locate me to- day? 2452 But suppose the time comes when you have to, what then?"
2452But that would be a wrong story, would n''t it?
2452But they were n''t, were they?
2452But who-- who has come back?
2452But why in time,demanded Captain Sam,"did n''t you tell me right out that''twas Mrs. Armstrong''s brother you had in mind?
2452But why leprosy, pray?
2452But why should he talk with you on that subject; about anything so-- er-- personal and confidential as that? 2452 But why-- oh, why did n''t he come to me and tell me?
2452But you do n''t WANT it to steal another one, do you?
2452But, Jed, DO you think that is the decision he referred to? 2452 But-- but, Ruth, what- what--?"
2452But-- but, for mercy sakes, HOW did you know? 2452 But-- but--""Yes?
2452Ca n''t see anything of it, can you?
2452Ca n''t stand you? 2452 Ca n''t you say nothin''?"
2452Ca n''t you take me to the aviation place sometime, Uncle Jed?
2452Ca n''t you?
2452Did Captain Hunniwell talk with you about-- about Maud and-- and me?
2452Did I do that? 2452 Did I say tell?
2452Did I tell you to go home, Sam? 2452 Did Leander tell you I did?"
2452Did Phin Babbitt tell you what was in that telegram he just got? 2452 Did he tell you?
2452Did he? 2452 Did it for me?
2452Did n''t he tell you in the letter why?
2452Did what?
2452Did who tell what?
2452Did you come to see where Petunia and I were? 2452 Did you forget to unlock it?"
2452Did you say log or dog?
2452Did you say somethin''?
2452Did you think he had n''t?
2452Did you; how?
2452Did, eh? 2452 Did-- did you speak, Sam?"
2452Do I? 2452 Do I?
2452Do I? 2452 Do n''t you KNOW''twas on the floor?"
2452Do n''t you get tired of hearing the story of my life?
2452Do n''t you know what I mean? 2452 Do n''t you know?
2452Do n''t you think so?
2452Do n''t you think''twould surprise''em, Jed?
2452Do n''t you think-- don''t you think it is pretty dark for little girls to be out?
2452Do n''t you, Jed?
2452Do n''t you, Uncle Jed?
2452Do n''t you-- don''t you think you''d better count it, Sam?
2452Do n''t you? 2452 Do n''t you?"
2452Do n''t you?
2452Do n''t, eh? 2452 Do they have to have policemen come to take you to the hospital?"
2452Do what?
2452Do you always wash outdoors there?
2452Do you hear me?
2452Do you know him?
2452Do you mean to say that this dinner is n''t as good as those you used to get at that Boston restaurant, Pa?
2452Do you mean to tell me,he demanded,"that that fellow sent me over here because-- because--""Because I''m town crank?
2452Do you read a good deal?
2452Do you suppose it CAN be true?
2452Do you suppose that''s true, Jed?
2452Do you usually lock your door on the inside in that way?
2452Do you?
2452Do?
2452Does he?
2452Does this man make them himself, I wonder?

2452Er-- er-- Major Grover,he said,"if-- if you hear any yarns now about money bein''missin''--or-- or stolen you can contradict''em now, ca n''t you?"
2452Exactly? 2452 Excuse me, Mrs. Armstrong,"he faltered,"but-- but was n''t there somethin''else?
2452Figgerin''to have him rig up windmills to drive those flyin''machines of yours, Major?
2452Five hundred dollars? 2452 Five hundred?"
2452For me? 2452 Found?
2452From Leander?
2452Gabe,he drawled,"did you ever hear about the feller that was born stone deef and the Doxology?"
2452George,repeated Mrs. Powless,"do you hear me?
2452Get at?
2452Go''round? 2452 Got the key to it?"
2452Got the key to it?
2452Guess you''ve been havin''a pretty good time, have n''t you?
2452Had n''t thought to look in that place, eh?
2452Had n''t you thought to hunt for it afore?
2452Has your mamma had any letters from the major the last day or so?
2452Have I thought? 2452 Have n''t you had any supper?"
2452Have you any idea how much there is here?
2452Have you heard from him since?
2452Have you heard the news about Cap''n Sam?
2452Have you thought of telephonin''to find out?
2452Have you?
2452Have you?
2452Have-- you talked''em over with-- with your sister?
2452He HAS?
2452He always has, has n''t he?
2452He could n''t have the moon, you know, could he? 2452 He did, eh?
2452He gave you a stick of candy? 2452 Here?
2452How about you, Mrs. Armstrong? 2452 How could I, without telling her everything?"
2452How could you, Jed?
2452How d''ye do?
2452How did you get rid of them? 2452 How did you know they called them hangars, Jed?"
2452How do YOU find yourself to- day?
2452How do you cal''late Cap''n Sam''ll like the notion of his pet daughter takin''up with another man?
2452How do you do, Major Grover? 2452 How do you do?"
2452How do you get into the house without a key?
2452How do you know it did?
2452How do you know''tain''t if you did n''t see him?
2452How do you start in killin''a-- a snappin''turtle? 2452 How does your dad take it?"
2452How is Babbie this mornin''?
2452How many times have I told you to let me look up credits for you when you get an order from a stranger? 2452 How old is it?"
2452How on earth--?
2452How''s the only original high and mighty patriot this afternoon?
2452How''s the president of the Western Union these days?
2452How? 2452 Huh?"
2452Hum? 2452 I do n''t see how it would help a bit?"
2452I have just got his letter and-- oh, may I?
2452I mean does it go''round and''round on a stick?
2452I mean does it make the wind blow different ways, no''theast by no''th and cantin''''round to the sou- east and-- and those ways? 2452 I mean have you done it lately?
2452I mean-- I mean fourteen cents takes all of it, does n''t it?
2452I presume likely you''ve heard the news from Leander Babbitt, Jed?
2452I say when you have a decision to make and your mind is about fifty- fifty on the subject, how do you decide?
2452I think she looks like a flower, do n''t you?
2452I wonder if you know what you have come to mean to me?
2452I wonder-- Oh, see, Uncle Jed, through that window-- see, are n''t those soldiers? 2452 I''m real glad to-- Eh,''tain''t Major Grover, is it?
2452I? 2452 If I did n''t eat that mackerel,"drawled Jed,"who would?"
2452If it is, what?
2452In love with ME?
2452Is THAT all you''ve got for Sunday dinner, Mr. Winslow? 2452 Is dinner ready, Uncle Jed?"
2452Is it the pretty widow? 2452 Is it true?"
2452Is it? 2452 Is it?
2452Is n''t he a funny man, Mamma?
2452Is n''t it odd how we all go to him when we are in trouble or need advice or anything? 2452 Is n''t your house?
2452Is that so? 2452 Is that so?"
2452Is there any one about here who knows you, who could prove you were who you say you are?
2452Is there any particular reason why Captain Hunniwell should n''t come?
2452Is there anything I can do?
2452Is thinking a bad habit?
2452Is what Philander Hardy told me just now true? 2452 Isaiah?
2452Jed generally has time convenient for''most everybody; eh, Jed?
2452Jed, where are you?
2452Jed,he asked, anxiously,"have you found anything here since I went out?"
2452Jed,he asked,"what in the world have you taken your front gate off the hinges for?"
2452Jed,he ordered,"leave off daubin''at that wooden doll baby for a minute, will you?
2452Jed,he said,"has-- has it seemed to you that-- that he-- that Charlie was-- maybe-- comin''to think consider''ble of-- of my daughter-- of Maud?"
2452Jed,he said,"when you are undecided about doing or not doing a thing, how do you settle it?"
2452Jed,she asked,"would you like to be an aviator?"
2452Jed,she said, after a moment,"it has come at last, has n''t it, the day we have foreseen and that I have dreaded so?
2452Jed,she said, earnestly,"what should I do without you?
2452Jed,she said,"what do you suppose I came here for this morning?"
2452Just only one?
2452Keep it? 2452 Know him?"
2452Land sakes, Ruth,he exclaimed,"it''s you, ai n''t it?
2452Leander? 2452 Like your work as well as ever, do n''t you?"
2452Look here, Jed Winslow, do you hear me?
2452Look here, Jed Winslow, talk sense for a minute, if you can, wo n''t you? 2452 Loud?
2452Ma''am,he said, hesitatingly,"you-- you do n''t cal''late there''s anything I can do to-- to help, is there?
2452Make a good- lookin''couple, do n''t they?
2452May I speak with you for just a few minutes?
2452May I?
2452Maybe you''d like to go in and look around; would you?
2452Mr. Babbitt,he suggested,"do n''t you think you had better stay a moment?
2452Mrs. Armstrong, ma''am, do you mean to tell me you''re goin''back to Luretta Smalley''s because you think I do n''t want you to stay? 2452 Mrs. Armstrong,"he asked,"has he been saying-- saying things he should not say about you?
2452Much obliged,he drawled,"but if I did n''t eat that mackerel, who would?"
2452Nice day, ai n''t it, sir? 2452 Nice day, ai n''t it?
2452Nobody living in it?
2452Now I wonder who THAT is?
2452Now what in time was in that telegram?
2452Oh, Charlie,she cried,"ca n''t you see?
2452Oh, I sha n''t, eh? 2452 Oh, Jed, what is it?"
2452Oh, Jed,she breathed,"what is it?"
2452Oh, Jed,she cried,"are n''t you going to say anything to me-- anything at all?"
2452Oh, Jed,she cried,"what does he mean?
2452Oh, Jed,she pleaded,"what SHALL we do?"
2452Oh, Mr. Winslow,she cried, breathlessly,"do you mean it?
2452Oh, Mrs. Armstrong,she faltered,"may I speak with you just-- just for a few minutes?"
2452Oh, Uncle Jed,she demanded, jumping up to perch panting upon a stack of the front elevations of birdhouses,"is n''t Mr. Gabe Bearse awfully funny?"
2452Oh, howd''ye do, howd''ye do, Cap''n Hunniwell?
2452Oh, is it? 2452 Oh, it''s you, Charlie, ai n''t it?
2452Oh, may I?
2452Oh, no, I took what you had yesterday, did n''t I? 2452 Oh, she did, eh?"
2452Oh, she wants to more''n you do, then, does she?
2452Oh, then the rest of you folks wo n''t care, I presume likely?
2452Oh,reproachfully,"how can you say that?
2452Only,she added,"fifty cents is lots more than fourteen, is n''t it?"
2452Out in the yard? 2452 Packin''?"
2452Pardon me,he said,"but is your name Winslow?"
2452Philander,he whispered, anxiously;"say, Philander, what does she want?
2452Phin,he said, with deliberate mildness,"is there anything else you''d like to ask me?
2452Please may I ask one more question, Mamma?
2452Plenty of room on that bench, is there?
2452Professor? 2452 Rather attractive, on the whole, do n''t you think, dear?"
2452Reason for what? 2452 Remember it?"
2452Rogers''garage?
2452Roomy, eh? 2452 Ruth''s what we call her, eh?
2452Ruth? 2452 Sales?
2452Sam,he asked,"about this bank job now?
2452Sam-- er-- you remember you told me you''d-- er-- lost some money a spell ago? 2452 Sartin, ma''am, sartin; I know''twould, but--""Wo n''t you think it over?
2452Say, Jed,he cried,"HAVE you heard about Cap''n Sam Hunniwell?
2452Say, Shavin''s, have you?
2452Say, what ails you?
2452Say,demanded Captain Lycurgus,"how old does a young- one have to be afore it''s supposed to know how much four times eight is?
2452Say,he demanded,"have you seen anything of a plan?"
2452Seven dollars for a CAT? 2452 Shall I call a guard, sir?"
2452Shall we go to see the camp or shall we have our chowder and luncheon first and then go?
2452She-- she''s goin''back to Luretta Smalley''s?
2452Should n''t you? 2452 Shut up?
2452Sis,he asked, slowly,"do you mean that he thought I took this money because he knew I had-- had done that thing at Middleford?
2452So Gabe was talkin'', eh?
2452So Petunia would feel bad if I did n''t go to Sam''s, would she?
2452So quaint and what?
2452So you and Jed are goin''to talk business, eh?
2452So you are this young lady''s uncle?
2452So you came over here for a picnic, did you? 2452 So you decided not to come back to the bank this afternoon, after all?"
2452So you decided to be a thief, did you, Jed?
2452So you took the hinges off? 2452 So you''ve been talkin'', have you?"
2452So? 2452 So?
2452Squeakin''and squealin''? 2452 Stolen?"
2452Stop? 2452 Suppose he does?"
2452Suppose he tells me he means to marry her in spite of everything? 2452 Suppose it had pointed across-- half way between yes and no?"
2452Suppose you are a little mite-- er-- different from the-- well, from the heft of mackerel in the keg, what of it? 2452 Sure of that?"
2452Sure? 2452 Take it, wo n''t you?"
2452Takin''in the view, was you?
2452Tell me, was I singin''?
2452Tell wind? 2452 Tell?"
2452That day? 2452 That house, too?"
2452That is n''t near here, is it?
2452That little, tiny one? 2452 That morning?
2452That''s Sam hollerin'', ai n''t it?
2452That''s a nice mess, ai n''t it? 2452 That''s what I want to know-- what is it?
2452That''s what the Germans say when they surrender, ai n''t it? 2452 That''s your plan thing, ai n''t it?"
2452That? 2452 That?"
2452The figgerin''or the doin''?
2452The first one?
2452The important things of life, eh?
2452The which field?
2452The whole story?
2452Then what did you bust loose and tell me about''em for? 2452 Then what made you say''seems as if''it was there?"
2452Then why do n''t you, for thunder sakes?
2452Then-- then who,he demanded,"sent those Powlesses here?"
2452There is n''t any MORE than fourteen, is there?
2452There''s the situation-- what then? 2452 They are?
2452This one will be perfectly comfortable, I''m sure, only--"Yes? 2452 To fill Gus Howes''place?"
2452Trouble? 2452 Truly?"
2452Um? 2452 Uncle Jed,"she asked,"ca n''t you whittle me a shingle boat?
2452Uncle Jed,she asked,"what were you doing with those things in your hand-- when I came in, you know?
2452Uncle Jed,she said, after a few moments of silent consideration,"what do you suppose Petunia told me just now?"
2452Uncle Jed,she said,"you''ve been thinking about something, have n''t you?"
2452WHAT? 2452 WHAT?
2452WHAT?
2452Want it? 2452 Wants to see me?"
2452Was n''t he speaking of his daughter-- and-- and my brother?
2452Was she-- Sam Hunniwell, was it HER you was goin''to send to see about hirin''this house?
2452Was there any danger?
2452Was you, though?
2452We love him, do n''t we, Mamma?
2452Well, Charlie,observed Mr. Winslow, on one occasion, a raw November morning of the week before Thanksgiving,"how''s the bank gettin''along?"
2452Well, Jedidah Wilfred Shavin''s'',he observed, facetiously,"what do you suppose I''ve got up my sleeve this mornin''?"
2452Well, Rayburn, what is it?
2452Well, Rayburn, what''s the trouble?
2452Well, did n''t you?
2452Well, ma''am,he faltered,"I-- I''d like to, but-- but the fact is, I--""Well, what?"
2452Well, maybe that''s so, but does tellin''the truth about folks make''em love you? 2452 Well, she said what I just said she said, did n''t she?"
2452Well, suppose it did n''t?
2452Well, what is it?
2452Well, what of it? 2452 Well,"he asked,"you do n''t mind the other-- er-- critter in the menagerie sittin'', do you?
2452Well,he drawled, at length,"seems to me I remember him sayin''-- sayin''--""Yes?
2452Well,he observed, with sarcastic politeness,"how''s the great Shavin''s Jedidah, the famous inventor of whirlagigs?
2452Well,he queried, after another interval,"about that crank?
2452Well,queried his friend,"what have you got on your mind?
2452Well-- er-- er--,desperately,"you told me to say yes or no, so I--""See here, Jed Winslow, HAVE you heard what I''ve been sayin''?"
2452Well-- well, what if''tain''t? 2452 Well?"
2452Well?
2452Well?
2452Wet? 2452 Wh- what jailbird?"
2452What ARE you talking about?
2452What IS it? 2452 What about you and Leander?
2452What are they?
2452What are you actin''this way for? 2452 What are you calling her for?"
2452What are you goin''to look for?
2452What are you grinnin''at?
2452What are you laughing at, dear?
2452What are you talkin''about, Phin?
2452What business is it of ours if them furriners take to slaughterin''themselves?
2452What did you want me to do?
2452What do I know about givin''up my own plans and-- and hopes, do you mean? 2452 What do you mean by that?"
2452What do you mean? 2452 What do you mean?"
2452What do you suppose Petunia told me?
2452What do you think the Commodore, or General, or whoever''tis bosses things at the camp, would say when he saw me? 2452 What does it say?"
2452What does your sister want you to do?
2452What for? 2452 What for?"
2452What in blazes are you-- a clairvoyant?
2452What in the world have you put that sign inside here for?
2452What in the world is the matter with you?
2452What in the world sent you autoin''way over to Wapatomac and back this day?
2452What in thunder are you doin''that for? 2452 What in time are you lookin''at me like that for?"
2452What in time--? 2452 What in time--?"
2452What is a lease?
2452What is it you want to say? 2452 What is it, Phin?"
2452What is it? 2452 What is it?
2452What is it?
2452What is it?
2452What is it?
2452What is it?
2452What is the matter?
2452What is the trouble here? 2452 What kind of a present?
2452What made Jed act the way he did? 2452 What makes that dog bark that way, Uncle Jed?"
2452What makes you think you''ve done anything like that, Uncle Jed?
2452What money''s that?
2452What of it? 2452 What of it?"
2452What shall we do, Uncle Jed?
2452What then?
2452What was the real reason? 2452 What were you and this man,"indicating the big carpenter,"bristling up to each other for?"
2452What were you doing here?
2452What''s that?
2452What''s that?
2452What''s that?
2452What''s the first one, Sam?
2452What''s the matter here?
2452What''s the matter with you? 2452 What''s the matter with you?
2452What''s the matter, Shavin''s? 2452 What''s the matter?
2452What''s the matter?
2452What''s the real yarn?
2452What''s the rest of it?
2452What''s your name and who are you?
2452What-- what kind of talk''s that? 2452 What?
2452What? 2452 What?"
2452What?
2452What?
2452Whatever SHE says? 2452 When they was at the piano together that time and Sam said somethin''about their bein''a fine- lookin''couple?"
2452Where are you?
2452Where did you find it?
2452Where did you get it?
2452Where did you get this?
2452Where in the world did you get those?
2452Where in the world has the fellow gone?
2452Where is Babbie?
2452Where is it; lost?
2452Where is the little girl you were with?
2452Where was it?
2452Where''s that hammer? 2452 Where?
2452Which do n''t you know, whether you go into the house at all, or how you get in without a key?
2452Who are they?
2452Who did it this time?
2452Who did n''t?
2452Who says I ai n''t? 2452 Who?
2452Who? 2452 Whose?
2452Why are you staring at that stove?
2452Why did I wait? 2452 Why did n''t you make coffee this mornin''?"
2452Why did you have the door locked, Uncle Jed?
2452Why do n''t you like him?
2452Why do you call him Isaiah?
2452Why is he lucky, Uncle Jed?
2452Why, Mamma,she cried,"has-- has he GONE?
2452Why, Mr. Winslow,she cried;"what are you talking about?
2452Why, Mr. Winslow,she said, after a moment''s hesitation,"is n''t that rather an unnecessary question?
2452Why, Ruth,he asked,"what is it?"
2452Why, do you s''pose?
2452Why, say, Jed, do n''t you like to be called''Shavin''s''?
2452Why, then Leander''d have to go to war and his dad could go to--"Eh? 2452 Why, what do you mean?
2452Why, what do you mean?
2452Why, what''s the matter?
2452Why, whatever happened you would be getting dinner just the same, would n''t you?
2452Why,she exclaimed,"it is Major Grover, is n''t it?"
2452Why-- why, Ruth, what-- what--?
2452Why-- why, now, ma''am,he stammered,"you-- you would n''t like livin''in Orham all the year''round, would you?"
2452Why-- why,he stammered,"is-- is that funny, Sam?
2452Why? 2452 Will it tell wind just as good as the big one?"
2452Will you please tell me if you are the windmill man?
2452Would I? 2452 Would n''t what?"
2452Would you if you had one?
2452Wound your HEAD too tight, Uncle Jed?
2452YOU did?
2452YOU have n''t heard any yarns about money bein''stolen at the bank, have you?
2452Yes, but-- Why, confound it, anybody who sees it there will think it is the other room that''s private, wo n''t they?
2452Yes-- ye- es,drawled Jed,"''tis kind of late, but''twas a nice, moderate day and Babbie she wanted to come, so--""Babbie?
2452Yes?
2452You HAVE? 2452 You SPENT it?
2452You always are-- what?
2452You did n''t know he needed any one?
2452You did n''t? 2452 You did what?"
2452You did? 2452 You do n''t KNOW?"
2452You do n''t know as you do? 2452 You do n''t mean it?"
2452You do n''t suppose, Pa,she said,"that this Mrs. Armstrong has a past, do you?"
2452You do n''t suppose-- you do n''t suppose he is doing it to help you, because you are his friend? 2452 You do n''t think?
2452You do sometimes, do n''t you?
2452You do?
2452You have let others occupy this house then?
2452You have?
2452You like him, do n''t you? 2452 You mean tell-- tell everything?"
2452You only hope? 2452 You own all this?"
2452You think Sam''ll get your note all right?
2452You told him to go to Boston and-- YOU did? 2452 You told him to volunteer?"
2452You was n''t out on those clam flats alone, was you?
2452You was only foolin''when you said that, was n''t you?
2452You wish me to stay?
2452You would n''t mind them, Jed, would you?
2452You would n''t want to drown him, would you?
2452You would n''t? 2452 You would think so,"he said,"would n''t you?
2452You''d what?
2452You''re a little mixed on the time, are n''t you, Jed?
2452You''ve been packin''? 2452 You''ve-- what?"
2452You-- you WHAT?
2452You-- you have n''t any objection to Mr. Phillips, have you?
2452''Are they a very rare breed?''
2452''Bout his bein''put on the Exemption Board?"
2452''So you was countin''my words, was you?''
2452''Tain''t possible you''ve known all along what I''ve just found out?
2452''Tis a woodchuck, ai n''t it?"
2452''Tisn''t half- past nine yet, is it?"
2452''Twas a-- a mouse, or a ground mole, was n''t it, that helped the lion in the story book out of the scrape?
2452''Twas four hundred dollars you was short, wan''t it?"
2452''Twas somethin''the Davidsons did you did n''t like-- but what?"
2452''Twouldn''t be any of my business what you wanted it for, would it?"
2452''Uncle Jed''''ll do, wo n''t it?"
2452''What do you mean?''
2452''What was you countin''?''
2452''What will?''
2452''Why,''says he,''that''s Charlie Phillips, of Middleford, ai n''t it?''
2452''Why,''says he--""What was it?"
2452''Wo n''t it do if I fetch it to- morrow?''
2452A moment later she suggested:"Do n''t you think you''d better sit down?
2452A month?
2452A plan?
2452Ah hum, you do n''t know where I can get hold of some money, do you?"
2452Ai n''t I been givin''''em up and givin''''em up all my lifelong?
2452Ai n''t it, Shavin''s; eh?"
2452Ai n''t it?
2452Ai n''t it?"
2452Ai n''t that enough?"
2452Ai n''t that how you''d rather have him feel-- and do?"
2452Ai n''t that so, Shavin''s?
2452Ai n''t that so?"
2452Ai n''t that the bell?
2452Ai n''t that the better way, Maud?
2452Am I right?"
2452And I was singin''when you left me, eh?
2452And WHAT''S it there for?
2452And confess to stealing and all that stuff?
2452And do you think Gabe Bearse will go back into the other room when he sees it?"
2452And furnished like that?
2452And he took them back himself?
2452And just what did you say about it?"
2452And knew''twas money?
2452And might Petunia come, too?"
2452And now, Phineas,"he went on,"what''s it all about?
2452And say, if you see that Kaiser anywheres afloat or ashore give him particular merry hell for me, will you?"
2452And say, speakin''of askin'', I''d like to ask you this: How are you goin''to get''em out, provided you''re fool enough to decide they''ve got to go?
2452And so you came to me, did you?
2452And so you''ve come back because you was afraid, eh?"
2452And the other letter; that''ll get to-- to her?"
2452And the view is the best in town, is n''t it?"
2452And then-- well, then--""Yes?"
2452And to go away, to some city or town where we are not known-- where could we go?
2452And two dollars is EVER so much more than fourteen cents, is n''t it?"
2452And what are you runnin''around with all that money in your hands for?
2452And what''ll I say?"
2452And when you found it-- Let''s see, you found it this mornin'', of course?"
2452And who do you suppose comes aboard on the next Monday mornin''to take over what Lute has left of the job?
2452And who sent him there?
2452And why has n''t he said a word to me, his own sister, about it?
2452And why should Mrs. Armstrong care, anyway?
2452And you came without bein''sent, after all; eh?"
2452And you did n''t think of lookin''''em up to see whether they was good for anything or good for nothin''?
2452And you found it this mornin''?"
2452And you mean to say that yarn you''ve just spun was the reason?"
2452And you would rather have had him do that, would n''t you?"
2452And you''d have begged and coaxed him to stay right along in the bank, maybe?
2452And, do you know, his advice is almost always good?
2452And-- er-- how did you leave Uncle Sam?
2452And-- er-- when you told Nellie about it did you speak loud?"
2452Any errands you want done over to Harniss?
2452Any more money kickin''around this glory- hole that you want me to put to your account?"
2452Anything in the packin''or movin''or anything like that?"
2452Anything wrong?"
2452Are n''t you the-- the best friend I have in the world?
2452Are you a mind reader, Jed?"
2452Are you goin''to tell Mrs. Armstrong right up and down and flat- footed that you ca n''t stand any more of her?
2452Are you the windmill man?"
2452Armstrong?"
2452Armstrong?"
2452Barbara would like it here, would n''t you, dear?"
2452Be kind of hard to fry''em if they was too big, would n''t it?"
2452Because he is afraid the bank-- or you-- may get into trouble because of-- well, because of having been so careless?"
2452Besides, if you knew so much why have you been waitin''all this time before you told it?
2452But I do n''t know as I SURELY know what he wanted the cow to do?
2452But I-- I feel-- I--""You feel that that part of the situation ai n''t what you''d call hopeless, eh?
2452But Maud, how about her?
2452But WHERE was it?
2452But do you, Phin?"
2452But does she care-- enough?"
2452But had he been as loyal to an older friend, a friend he had known all his life?
2452But how did you guess I was jokin''this time?"
2452But maybe he''s a different kind of crank; eh?"
2452But now-- Suppose the boy had stolen the money?
2452But tell me, did Gabe look wild or out of his head when he gave it to you?"
2452But tell me, what WERE you thinking about just then?"
2452But what do you want me to say it for?
2452But what then?"
2452But what''s this you''re sayin''about your ma lookin''at things without seein''''em, same as I do?
2452But what,"he inquired,"made her and the little girl move out of Middleford, or wherever''twas they lived?
2452But what?"
2452But why did n''t he come to me and tell me?
2452But why did you say you had-- kept it?"
2452But why does Babbitt remind you of a dirigible balloon?
2452But why should he give his own money away in that fashion?
2452But you do n''t, do you?"
2452But you think it''s too dark for little girls already, eh?"
2452But you''re glad, for my sake, are n''t you, Jed?"
2452But, Maud, ca n''t you see why he did n''t come and tell you before he went to enlist?
2452But, Sam, had n''t you better take that money back to the bank?
2452But, to be real honest now, Maud, would you have been satisfied to have it that way?
2452But--""What is it?
2452Ca n''t do-- what?"
2452Ca n''t you see you''ve got my head whirlin''like one of those windmills of yours?
2452Ca n''t you take me some time, Uncle Jed?"
2452Call her the-- the''Geranium''--the''Sunflower''--what''s the name of that doll baby of yours?
2452Can I come into your house for a minute and spring it on you?"
2452Can either of you guess?"
2452Can you help us out?"
2452Can you see me then?"
2452Changed?
2452Charles smiled slightly-- he did not appear to be in a laughing mood-- and then asked:"You say he settles questions for you?
2452Charlie did n''t tell you?
2452Come in, wo n''t you?
2452Could n''t the-- the feller that owed the money send you a check?"
2452D''ye hear?"
2452DO you know anything against Charlie Phillips?"
2452Di, doo de di di doo de--''"Breaking off to suggest:"Better stay and eat along with me to- day, had n''t you, Babbie?"
2452Did Cap''n Thad teach you some or did you pick it up yourself?''
2452Did I?
2452Did a pretty neat, clean job, did n''t I?
2452Did he lie about the other thing, that''s what I''ve come here to find out?
2452Did he swear?
2452Did he tell her how I-- how I stole the money?"
2452Did he tell you?"
2452Did he tell your-- your sister?
2452Did he work in a bank?"
2452Did he--?"
2452Did he?
2452Did n''t I ever tell you about that?"
2452Did n''t care?"
2452Did n''t do it for Charlie?
2452Did n''t say nothin''else, did he?"
2452Did n''t say that he was a thief and give your father his own money, do you mean?
2452Did n''t she tell you?
2452Did n''t think I was figgerin''on makin''him President of the United States, did you?"
2452Did n''t you know it?"
2452Did n''t you?"
2452Did she?
2452Did what?
2452Did you see the sign I tacked on the outside of it?"
2452Did you?"
2452Did you?"
2452Do I look green around the mouth, Sam?"
2452Do him brown, if you get a chance, will you?"
2452Do n''t it seem to you maybe that might be it, Jed?"
2452Do n''t you know whether you''ve got it or not?"
2452Do n''t you know?
2452Do n''t you really know?"
2452Do n''t you remember?
2452Do n''t you remember?"
2452Do n''t you see, Charlie?
2452Do n''t you see?"
2452Do n''t you think it is, Uncle Jed?"
2452Do n''t you think it was a-- a-- one of those kind of tricks, Uncle Jed?"
2452Do n''t you think so?"
2452Do n''t you think''twould, Jed?"
2452Do they call them officers because they work in offices, Uncle Jed?"
2452Do you cal''late I''ll let my daughter marry a man that''s been in state''s prison?"
2452Do you care for me still?
2452Do you dig those things up on the flats hereabouts, like clams?"
2452Do you get that through your head, finally?"
2452Do you hear me?
2452Do you know any of those men?"
2452Do you know that one?"
2452Do you know what''tis?"
2452Do you know why I came here to talk to you?"
2452Do you mean he did n''t do that for Charlie?"
2452Do you need all that so very bad, Charlie?"
2452Do you really believe Captain Hunniwell will give my brother a position in his bank?"
2452Do you remember his feet?"
2452Do you remember what I told you last time I was in this shop?
2452Do you think I''m goin''to give up all my plans and all my happiness just-- just because she wants to make a fool of herself?
2452Do you think I''ve got a head like a six- year- old young- one-- or you?
2452Do you think that would help you in court, Babbitt?
2452Do you think that''s true?"
2452Do you understand that?"
2452Do you understand?"
2452Do you wonder I said I would do almost anything to get the money?"
2452Do-- do you mean to tell me that Sam Hunniwell never lost that money at all?
2452Does any one know?"
2452Does he know-- about that?"
2452Does he speak to you yet?"
2452Does your mamma know where you are?"
2452Does''consider''mean see if you like it?"
2452Eh, Shavin''s?"
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?
2452Eh?"
2452Eh?"
2452Eh?"
2452Eh?"
2452Er-- er-- Out in that bank where he used to work, that Wisconsin bank, he-- you said he did first- rate there?"
2452Er-- er-- Where is it, Phin?"
2452Er-- er-- don''t you think we''d better put off makin''the sail till we get home or-- or somewheres?
2452Even if she knew that he knew, would she accept the counsel of Shavings Winslow?
2452Ever think about yourself that way, Jed?"
2452Every one of''em; do you understand that, Jed Winslow?"
2452For ME?"
2452For goodness''sake, what for?"
2452For heaven''s sake, why?"
2452Furniture old, too?"
2452GAVE it to you?"
2452Gabe Bearse asked Babbie about it, and Phin here he--""Eh?"
2452George,"turning to Mr. Powless,"did n''t I hear this man distinctly tell you that this house WAS his?"
2452Get your money, did you?"
2452Give his army the one thing needful to make it-- er-- perfect?"
2452Give me a match, will you, Sam?"
2452Go''round where?"
2452Got the answer, Charlie?"
2452Got you took up for a German spy, have they?
2452Gracious king, man, you do n''t expect I''m goin''to take the gettin''back of four hundred dollars as cool as if''twas ten cents, do you?
2452Gracious king,''tain''t likely I''d forget it, is it?"
2452Grover, eh?
2452HOW much did you say the fish was?"
2452Had he been loyal to Captain Sam Hunniwell?
2452Had tire trouble, think?"
2452Has n''t your brother got any friends in Middleford who could help him get some work-- a job-- you know what I mean?
2452Has that sign been hangin''there all this forenoon?"
2452Have I swallowed it?
2452Have a chair, Sam, wo n''t you?
2452Have n''t borrowed the cat''s feet to walk, on, have you?"
2452Have n''t seen any papers blowing about?"
2452Have n''t you got anything to say?"
2452Have they been sayin''''twas stolen?"
2452Have you done much lending of that kind?"
2452Have you got any answer?"
2452Have you heard?"
2452Have you one I might borrow?
2452Have you said anything to Maud about-- about how you feel?"
2452Have you seen anything of a plan, I ask you?"
2452Have you?"
2452Have you?"
2452Have you?"
2452He broke off, seemed to reflect and then asked suddenly:"Ma''am, do you want to go to heaven when you die?"
2452He came here to this shop to see you, maybe?
2452He looked out of the window, hummed a tune, and then added:"Let''s see, what did you say your name was?"
2452He said:''Here, little girl, do n''t you like candy?''
2452He stared at the interrupter in enraged amazement for an instant and then demanded:"Stop?
2452He was a-- what did you say his trade was?"
2452He will be free-- and then?
2452He would have-- have seen me and-- and-- oh, why did he do it, Jed?
2452He''s my son, ai n''t he?''
2452Hello, you goin''so soon?
2452Her expression changed and she added:"You were n''t thinking of-- of Charles''--his trouble at Middleford?
2452Here, what are you laughin''at?"
2452Hidin''there in the dark, eh?
2452How can I ever show you how grateful I feel?"
2452How can you make a flower out of a windmill, Uncle Jed?"
2452How can you?
2452How could they help it, under the circumstances?"
2452How could you, Jed?"
2452How did Mr. Rogers come to take them back?"
2452How did you come to sell these-- er-- Funny folks, in the first place?"
2452How did you get your arm stretched out five foot long and three- quarters of an inch thick?
2452How did you know I was over here to Sam''s?
2452How did you know?"
2452How do you cal''late Mrs. Armstrong enjoys seein''you do that?"
2452How do you cal''late he''d like the idea, Shavin''s?"
2452How do you do it, Jed?
2452How do you know you ai n''t seen it if you do n''t know what it is?"
2452How do you like belongin''to Uncle Sam?"
2452How does he happen to be here?
2452How does the old feller take the news?
2452How in the world did you get in here this time without my hearin''you?"
2452How is Phin Babbitt?
2452How is he around his own house?
2452How many have I said?''
2452How many times have I told you to deposit your money every three days anyhow?
2452How many times?"
2452How was the money-- all together, or kind of scattered''round?"
2452How''d that happen, Gabe?"
2452How''s Petunia''s hair curlin''this mornin''?"
2452How''s he behavin''this mornin''?
2452How''s-- er-- how''s your sister this mornin''?"
2452How, for mercy sakes?"
2452How?"
2452I ai n''t sayin''''twas any more''n right that I should, but I did it, did n''t I?
2452I always say that for you, do n''t I, old sawdust?"
2452I ask you if that ai n''t what Phin Babbitt would do?
2452I asked him first if he''d seen the plan--""Had he?"
2452I asked you how you thought Cap''n Sam would take the notion of Maud''s havin''a steady beau?
2452I believe he''s real nice, do n''t you?"
2452I called him a jailbird, did n''t I?
2452I do n''t hardly think''twas, do you?"
2452I guess likely that''s the end of the yarn, ai n''t it?"
2452I guess likely you was only foolin'', was n''t you?"
2452I guess you were thinking, were n''t you?"
2452I had?
2452I mean what sort of man is he-- er-- inside?
2452I must obey orders, must n''t I?
2452I needed it; and,"with another chuckle,"I got it, too, did n''t I?
2452I never saw a dog that wanted to climb into a manger, did you, Sam?"
2452I think he''s taken a shine to me, do n''t you, Mamma?"
2452I told you I KNEW he had n''t found the four hundred dollars I lost, did n''t I?
2452I want to be happy myself, do n''t I?
2452I wonder if it ever occurred to that chap that there might be certain kinds of fate that COULDN''T be feared too much?
2452I"--she hesitated, and then added--"I do n''t suppose you would care to let it unfurnished at-- at a lower rate?"
2452I''d be a sight, though, would n''t I?"
2452I''ve found that and you''ve got it back; so that settles it, do n''t it?"
2452I''ve got''em, have n''t I?"
2452I-- I-- you know I did n''t mean it, do n''t you, Sam?"
2452I--""But, Jed, why did you do it-- for me?
2452I--""Tell?
2452If I ca n''t understand myself more''n half the time, what''s the use of your strainin''your brains?
2452If I''d known''twas goin''to be like this I''d never have gone into business, would you?
2452If he should ask what the business was which called me to Boston so suddenly, just dodge the question as well as you can, wo n''t you, Jed?"
2452If it is, how-- how can we ever thank you?
2452If she asked him for his decision what should he say?
2452If that telegram wan''t some surprise to old Babbitt, then--""Do you know what''twas-- what the telegram was?"
2452If they did n''t seem good enough-- why--""Well-- what?"
2452If you do will you wait till I come back?''
2452If you found out all this-- this pack of rubbish in January why did you wait till March before you told it?
2452If you had a chance to get a bright, smart young man with experience in bank work, you''d hire him, would n''t you?"
2452If you''d found it what made you keep runnin''into the bank to ask me if I''D found it?
2452Instead she asked:"Mr. Winslow, are you very busy this morning?
2452Is he always as good- natured as he seems?
2452Is he disloyal, do you think?"
2452Is it impossible for you to answer yes or no to a question?"
2452Is it me you''re cussin''?
2452Is it?
2452Is it?"
2452Is n''t he a funny man, Mamma?"
2452Is n''t his face red, Father?"
2452Is n''t that anything?
2452Is n''t that it, truly?"
2452Is n''t that true, Jed?
2452Is n''t what he has done better?
2452Is that any of your business, Mr.--Mr. Brass Monkey?
2452Is that it, honest truth?"
2452Is that so?
2452Is that the trouble?"
2452Is there anything I can do for you this evenin''?"
2452Is there somethin''the matter with it?"
2452Is this one a-- a gunfish?"
2452Is this perfectly clear?"
2452Is this what you''ve been thinking about a nice eccen- trick or the other kind?"
2452Is your mamma with you?"
2452Is your work too important to spare me just a few minutes?"
2452Isaiah who?"
2452It had all been kept a secret so far, all the whole dreadful thing, why not a little longer?
2452It just--""Not anything?
2452It might make her too-- too-- Oh, what ARE those things you make, Uncle Jed?
2452It was n''t wrong, was it?"
2452It would make you glad to know that I was happy, would n''t it?"
2452It''s just on Leander''s account?"
2452Jed Winslow, what have you got up your sleeve?"
2452Jed, do you remember that day when you and I had the talk about poetry and all that?
2452Jed, how could you do it-- just for me?
2452Jed, suppose-- suppose you cared for some one, would the fact that her brother had been in prison make any difference in-- in your feeling?"
2452Jed, you like Major Grover, do n''t you?"
2452Jed?"
2452Jerry says old Phin turned and snapped out over his shoulder:''Why not?
2452Just excuse the little girl, wo n''t you?"
2452Just given yourself right up to doin''it?"
2452Just sailed in and hurried off the stuff, I presume likely?"
2452KEEP it?
2452Land sakes, Sam, what are you askin''me all these questions for?"
2452Leander Babbitt?
2452Leander was n''t strong, anyway; besides, was n''t he his father''s principal support?
2452Little late for picnics, is nt it?"
2452Little man with the stub of a paint brush growin''on his chin?"
2452Look here, Jed; if I found you a good tenant would you rent''em that house of yours?"
2452Look here, what do you waste your time goin''back twenty- five years and meetin''yourself for?
2452MAYBE I''ve noticed it?
2452Make the wind blow-- how?"
2452Maud, why in time did n''t we think to have Major Grover here for dinner along with the rest of the folks?
2452May I see it?''
2452Maybe you come here to get an echo; eh?"
2452Me?
2452Me?"
2452Meanin''--what things?"
2452More clairvoyants in Orham than you thought there was; eh, Charlie?"
2452Mr. Rogers took them back?
2452Mr. Winslow, would you consider letting me occupy this house-- unfurnished, of course?
2452Mr. Winslow, you had tenants in this house before?"
2452Mr. Winslow-- Jed, I mean-- you have done so much for us already; will you do one thing more?"
2452Mrs. Armstrong, I mean?
2452Nellie Hall-- my typewriter, you know-- she knew where I''d been and what a crank old Sage is and she says:''Did you get the money, Cap''n?''
2452No, I mean he''s going to work in the bank always and live-- No, I do n''t, but you know what I do mean, do n''t you, Uncle Jed?"
2452Not anything to find my brother the opportunity he and I have been praying for?
2452Not run in?
2452Now did you ever hear such fool talk outside of an asylum?
2452Now how in the nation did I get it Wood?
2452Now that proves the instinct of dumb animals, do n''t it?
2452Now we''ve got to box''em, have n''t we?
2452Now what am I going to do?"
2452Now what do you suppose I did that for?
2452Now what do you suppose put him up to doin''that?"
2452Now what on earth possessed me to?
2452Now what''s the answer?
2452Now where--?
2452Now you mention it, there do n''t seem to be any screwdriver, does there?
2452Now-- now would you mind tellin''me just one thing more?
2452Objections?
2452Of course he did not know whether or not she wished to remain, but, if she did, did he wish her to do so?
2452Oh, Jed, how CAN I let him go-- to war?"
2452Oh, Jed, how COULD he treat me so?"
2452Oh, Jed, what IS it?"
2452Oh, Jed, what in the world made you do it?"
2452Oh, Mr. Winslow, is it really true?
2452Oh, Mr. Winslow, is n''t there SOME way by which Charles could have that chance?
2452Oh, WON''T you try to believe now?"
2452Oh, ca n''t you understand?
2452Oh, do n''t you SEE?"
2452Oh, he IS a dear, is n''t he?"
2452Oh, it''s you, ai n''t it, Sam?
2452Oh, you do, eh?"
2452Oh, you''re in there, are you?
2452Oh,"turning swiftly toward him,"YOU wo n''t tell Captain Hunniwell, will you?"
2452Oh,"with a sudden burst of feeling"ca n''t you see that I must talk with SOMEONE-- I MUST?"
2452On my mind?"
2452On the boards?
2452On the floor?"
2452Ought to TELL?
2452Over at the flying place?"
2452Owed you somethin'', I presume likely?"
2452Pa left it at Wapatomac, after all; you knew that?"
2452Pay compliments?
2452Phin Babbitt?
2452Phineas, I judge the only reason you have for objectin''to the captain''s bein''on the Exemption Board is on account of your son, ai n''t it?
2452Pick''em up with a stick, too, did you?"
2452Please answer me just this-- if-- if you''d just as soon: Why are you movin''back to Luretta''s?"
2452Policemen?"
2452Pretty good idea, was n''t it?"
2452Pretty smart at it, too, seems to me you said he was?"
2452Put it under the steam roller, did you?"
2452Put the stove out in the yard?
2452Relation of his, are you?
2452Remember one time I told you I could n''t decide whether you was a dum fool or a King Solomon?
2452Ruth-- what?"
2452Ruth?"
2452Said Barbara between spoonfuls:"He''s a real nice officer one, is n''t he, Uncle Jed?
2452Sakes alive, child, how do you get around so quiet?
2452Sales of what?
2452Sam Hunniwell, have you been put on that Draft Exemption Board?"
2452Sam, how is Barzilla Small''s boy, Lute, gettin''along in Gus Howes''job at the bank?"
2452Sam, if you saw a chance to get a real smart young feller in Lute''s place in the bank you''d take him, would n''t you?"
2452Sam, what is a lease?"
2452Sam, you ai n''t sorry the boy''s volunteered, are you?"
2452Sam,"he added, solemnly,"did I tell you I got a letter from him last week?"
2452Say, Charlie,"he added,"suppose likely your sister and you would be too busy to see me for a few minutes now?
2452Say, ai n''t that some news?
2452Say, could n''t you eat a plate of frozen puddin''right this minute?
2452Say, have you heard anything from Leander Babbitt lately?"
2452Say, speakin''of Cap''n Sam, have you heard the news about him?"
2452Say, you ai n''t seen that new gull vane of mine lately, have you?
2452See that, do n''t you?"
2452See, do n''t you, Sam?
2452See, do n''t you?"
2452See?"
2452Serious, is it, Sam?"
2452Sha n''t we, Babbie?"
2452Shall I call her?"
2452Shall I heave up the job?
2452Shall I quit?"
2452Shall I resign?
2452Shall we heave ahead for the place where Uncle Sam''s birds are goin''to nest-- his two- legged birds, I mean?"
2452She do n''t do that, does she?"
2452She is n''t a GREAT friend of yours, is she, Father?"
2452She wo n''t annoy you?"
2452Sing like a-- what?
2452So you know Cap''n Hedge, do you?
2452So you like this Charlie Phillips, do you?"
2452So you''ve found out, Sam, have you?"
2452So you''ve read''The Prince and the Pauper''?"
2452So--""Was Leander there?"
2452Soldier, ai n''t he?"
2452Solomon in all his glory would have looked like a calico shirt and a pair of overalls alongside of me, eh?
2452Somethin''you wanted to ask my advice about-- or-- or-- somethin''?"
2452Speakin''of important things, was that plan of yours very important, Mr.--I mean Major?"
2452Steal it, do you mean?"
2452Stuck?
2452Suppose I tell him I''ve been,"bitterly,"a crook and a jailbird; what will HE think of me-- as a son- in- law?
2452Suppose he was being blackmailed by some one whom he must pay or face exposure?
2452Suppose he wo n''t listen to me at all?"
2452Suppose you do haul up stakes and quit workin''for Sam at the bank; can they get along without your support?
2452Take a seat, wo n''t you?"
2452Tell him that Charles has been in-- in prison?
2452Tell me, now,"he added, changing the subject to avoid further cross- questioning,"do you and your ma like it here?"
2452Tell me, what do you mean?
2452Tell me, what was he talking about?"
2452That all he did was leave it over at Wapatomac?"
2452That dog?"
2452That is his idea of a joke, is it?"
2452That is, you were-- were--""Makin''a noise as if I''d swallowed a hymn book and one of the tunes was chokin''me to death?
2452That so?"
2452That was a real bright idea of mine, was n''t it?
2452That was it, wan''t it?
2452That''ll do, wo n''t it?
2452That''s kind of funny, ai n''t it?"
2452That''s real good of me, ai n''t it?
2452That''s somethin''like it, ai n''t it, Charlie?"
2452That''s the best of it, after all, ai n''t it?"
2452That''s the little girl?
2452That''s the way the newspapers tell such things nowadays, ai n''t it?
2452That''s what he''d naturally do, ai n''t it?"
2452That''s what you''re tryin''to say, ai n''t it?"
2452That''s your own private business, ai n''t it?"
2452The band that was round it had come off, then?"
2452The money has n''t been stolen; I lost it somewheres-- but where?
2452The nice what?
2452The one she calls''Uncle Charlie''?"
2452Then I ca n''t sell it to her; I CAN''T, do n''t you see?"
2452Then he added:"Is Mr. Babbitt here?
2452Then he asked:"What sort of a man is Captain Hunniwell?"
2452Then he asked:"Your daughter do n''t sing like a windmill, does she?"
2452Then she said, pleadingly,"Oh, Jed, it is up to you and me, is n''t it?
2452Then the major said:"So you''re a suspicious character, are you?"
2452Then the tall man asked:"Call you what?"
2452Then turning to Mr. Winslow, he demanded:"What do you mean by saying it is yours one moment and not yours the next; eh?"
2452Then why in the world did you tell people to inquire there?"
2452Then you do n''t know whether or not she-- er-- feels the same way about-- about you?"
2452Then''twas true, what Philander Hardy said about your goin''back to Luretta''s?"
2452Then, addressing Jed, he said:"Have you seen anything of the plan?"
2452Then, noticing Mr. Bearse for the first time, he added:"Hello, Gabe, what are you doin''here?"
2452Then, seeing Jed for the first time, he asked:"Who is this man and what is he doing here?"
2452Then-- then WHAT did that woman say I''d got to show her the inside of this house for?"
2452Then:"City folks or Orham folks?"
2452There was going to be an Exemption Board, was n''t there?
2452There''twas, eh?
2452There, NOW I can take up a collection, ca n''t I?"
2452They are?
2452They could have found cheaper quarters there, could n''t they?
2452They had gone, but they were coming back again; and what should he say to them then?
2452They wan''t any of MY business, was they?"
2452They will begin building the barracks and the buildings-- the-- oh, what do they call those big sheds they keep the aeroplanes in?"
2452Think she''ll promise that?
2452Think that would do?"
2452This is the private room in here, ai n''t it?"
2452Thought I had taken it?
2452To Charlie?
2452To give me the opportunity of having him with me?
2452Toothache?"
2452Visitin''there?"
2452WHAT''LL I do now?"
2452WHY had she been so foolish as to tell any one of their humiliation?
2452Want me to go see who''tis, Shavin''s-- Jed, I mean?"
2452Want to see him, do you?"
2452Was n''t it, Mamma?"
2452Was that you?"
2452Was there some more?"
2452We ca n''t all be-- er-- Know- it- alls like Shakespeare, or-- or rich as Standard Oil Companies, can we?
2452We was just settin''here talkin'', wan''t we, Shavin''s-- Jed, I mean?"
2452We''ll write once in a while; eh?"
2452Well, I''ve been thinkin''about you, I tell you that: Have you been in this shop all the forenoon?"
2452Well, I-- Eh, what is it, Jed?"
2452Well, WHY not?"
2452Well, did you-- er-- make him happy?
2452Well, do you GUESS you do?
2452Well, do you want to give Isaiah a whirl on that decision you say you''ve got to make?"
2452Well, have you any, exact or otherwise?"
2452Well, he wanted somethin''for it, did n''t he?
2452Well, how about Phineas?
2452Well, how''s all the United States Army; the gold lace part of it, I mean?"
2452Well, if you could get the seventeen dollars you''d throw off the three cents, would n''t you?"
2452Well, one of us was; eh?
2452Well, then, if he and Maud love each other, thinks I, what right have I to say they sha n''t be happy, especially as they''re both willin''to wait?
2452Well, unless I''m greatly mistaken, Ruth--""Eh?
2452Well, what do you and- er-- What''s- her- name think of it?"
2452Well, you notice one end of that whirligig arm he''s got is smudged with black?"
2452Well, you realize it now, I suppose?"
2452Were they green, honest and truly, Jed?"
2452Wh- what makes you say such a thing as that?
2452What ARE you talking about?
2452What ARE you talking about?
2452What I want to know is, did it drop out when I took off my coat here in the shop?
2452What SHALL we do?
2452What am I goin''to do?
2452What are you buttin''in for, Shavin''s?"
2452What are you daydreamin''about now, eh?"

2452What are you trying to get at, Jed?"
2452What are you up to?

2452What band?"
2452What can I do?"
2452What can I say to you?"
2452What color was it, for goodness''sake?"
2452What day?
2452What did I say to him?
2452What did he say when he read it?

2452When a cat and a sasser of milk''s shut up together and the milk''s gone, you do n''t need proof to know where it''s gone, do you?
2452When did it happen?"
2452When it was completed, he asked:"Is this all?"
2452When the captain could speak he asked:"And you mean to tell me that was the reason you would n''t let the house again?"
2452When we ca n''t have our wishes then it''s up to us to-- to--""Well, to what?"

2452Winslow?"
2452Winslow?''
2452With his daughter-- or-- or things like that?
2452Without the money you earn?"
2452Wonder what he''d say if he knew''twas you, Jed, that was really responsible?"
2452Would a cat eat lobster?
2452Would it surprise you to know, Charlie, that her dad and I had a little talk on this very subject not so very long ago?"
2452Would n''t it annoy you, TRULY?"
2452Would n''t we, Babbie?"
2452Would n''t you like to come out and look at it?"
2452Would you have felt that it was the honorable thing for Charlie to do?
2452Would you like to see it; that part of it, I mean?"
2452Would you?"
2452YOU can find me one?
2452YOU can?
2452YOU do n''t know what was in it, do you?"
2452Yes, and I''ve been paid for it, have n''t I?"

2452You DID?
2452You ai n''t afraid of him, are you?"
2452You ai n''t dividin''up with the blasted jailbird?"
2452You ai n''t gettin''any of it, are you?
2452You answer when I speak to you; understand?
2452You are sure you have n''t seen anything of it?
2452You cal''late that Lute Small will fill Gus Howes''job about the way you filled those boots, eh?
2452You do n''t know anything to his discredit, do you?"
2452You do n''t mean THAT?"
2452You do n''t mean that you see a way out for me, do you?"
2452You do n''t mean to tell me that YOU DID think of it?
2452You do n''t still think me wrong in not telling Captain Hunniwell?"
2452You do n''t?
2452You found this money behind those boards?"
2452You got the letter, then?"
2452You had consider''ble of a job makin''her see that you was worth waitin''for, I presume likely, eh?"
2452You had n''t, had you, Mamma?"
2452You have n''t found it, have you?"
2452You have n''t got anything against her, have you?"
2452You hear that?"
2452You just consider that plan for a minute now, will you?"
2452You knew that, I suppose, did n''t you?"
2452You know that, do n''t you-- Ruth?"
2452You know that, of course?"
2452You know what''consider''means, do n''t you?"
2452You know where I''m bound now?
2452You like Major Grover?
2452You mean a week, do n''t you?"
2452You poor fool, do you think you can talk me out of this?
2452You realize that, do n''t you?"
2452You really did ask Babby to come in and see you at work?"
2452You remember I told you that?"
2452You remember that, do n''t you?"
2452You saw it layin''on the floor at the bottom of that crack?"
2452You see that, do n''t you?"
2452You see, do n''t you, Sam?"
2452You spoke of''em''cause they wan''t any of my business?"
2452You understand, do n''t you?"
2452You want to say to Maud:''Do you care enough for me to marry me in spite of what I''ve done and where I''ve been?''
2452You wo n''t do any more-- not for so long at a time, will you, Uncle Jed?"
2452You wo n''t sell that Mrs. Powless any of it, will you?"
2452You''d pay spot cash, I presume likely, would n''t you?"
2452You''ll rather miss her about the shop here, wo n''t you?"
2452You''re glad of that, are n''t you, Jed?"
2452You''re joking again, are n''t you, Uncle Jed?
2452You''re not GOIN'', are you, Sam?"
2452You''re not afraid of Pa or me, are you?"
2452You''re sure of that?"
2452You''ve got the fish, have n''t you?
2452You''ve heard of step- fathers?
2452You, you sawdust- head?
2452Your mother used to say?
2452but-- I do n''t know as I know exactly what you mean, do I?"
2452do n''t seem as if that was hardly necessary, does it?"
2452eh?
2452eh?"
2452eh?"
2452has your pa got any money left in that bank of his?"
2452he added,"how I do fire off opinions, do n''t I?
2452no,"she stammered, and added, hastily:"How much is this fish, please?"
2452then he did turn out to be a leak instead of an able seaman, eh?"
2452what was it the cat walked on in that story you and I was readin''together a spell ago?
2452you ought to be ashamed of it-- DON''T you think she is good- looking, Daddy, dear?"
2452you''re consider''ble ways from home, ai n''t you?
