11377God is with you?
11377I wonder if Sophia would mind him for a bit--?
11377Know me?
11377My dear, what is it? 11377 No fever, you think?"
11377Of what kind, my dear? 11377 Protect me from their love?"
11377That socialist person, you mean?
11377That''s what they''re paid for, is n''t it?
11377They get into touch with me, as it were?
11377Was n''t it wonderful?
11377We must not shut our ears and eyes to knowledge-- of any kind, must we?
11377What is it keeps you so wide awake and restless?
11377What is it you think you see, my dear?
11377What is it, dear? 11377 Why do n''t you sleep, dear?"
11377Why do you fear the big winds so?
11377Why not?
11377Wo n''t you come with me, dear,--just for once? 11377 You are not alone, dear in the trees out there?"
11377You know that singular essay of Prentice Mulford''s, no doubt''God in the Trees''--extravagant perhaps, but yet with a fine true beauty in it? 11377 And how pines like bilberry bushes at their feet and sometimes little oaks-- all trees making a clear, deliberate choice, and holding firmly to it? 11377 And then it suddenly struck her: How could she know them too? 11377 As she put it so frequently now herself-- How could he possibly_ know_ such things? 11377 Ca n''t it, Uncle David?
11377Could this be part of what her husband felt-- this sense of thick entanglement with stems, boughs, roots, and foliage?
11377Did n''t you hear what Uncle David said?
11377Did you ever see more plainly an evil thought made visible?
11377Does not the influence of a forest, its sway and strange ascendancy over certain minds, betray a direct manifestation of life?
11377Have you ever noticed, too, how clearly trees show what they want-- choose their companions, at least?
11377How beeches, for instance, allow no life too near them-- birds or squirrels in their boughs, nor any growth beneath?
11377How could he possibly know such things?
11377I saw the naked being of the thing--""You mean that you went out, Mr. Sanderson, at that hour?"
11377I think you need me really,--don''t you?"
11377Is it a curious short- cut sometimes to the heights?
11377May not the moods of Nature touch and stir us in virtue of a similar prerogative?
11377Only it would have been more real if it had been the original tree, would n''t it?"
11377Sanderson?"
11377The trees, too, are utterly different for one thing?"
11377There''s a strange, miscalculated beauty often in evil--""That cedar, then--?"
11377Well... whence come these powers?
11377What holds its particles together indeed?
11377What were they?
11377Whither did they lead?
11377Who could know?
11377Why did he hunger especially in the dusk to catch their"mood of night"as he called it?
11377Why do you wake me_ now_?"
11377Why else did he watch them as a man might watch a sickly child?
11377Why should fire change the form of everything it touches without really destroying them?
11377Why should the worlds spin for ever on their axes?
11377Why should trees grow at right angles to the surface of the ground and towards the sun?
11377Why should water only run downhill?
11377Why should you be so nervous?"
11377Why should you--?"
11377Why think so carefully upon them when the frost was threatening or the wind appeared to rise?
11377You mean abroad?"
11377You remember,"turning politely again in the direction of his hostess,"how clearly Henley understood that?"
11377You think then--?"
11377You''re so imaginative sometimes, are n''t you?"
11377You''ve never read it, no?"
11377they whispered,"did n''t we tell you so?"
11723''How old art thou?"
11723A very good general idea,continued Miss Harson,"but perhaps Clara can tell us something more particular about the elms?"
11723And are n''t its chestnuts just splendid?
11723And can people really go and see the very same Mount of Olives now?
11723And could n''t the poor little mouse get out again?
11723And did you think they were hung all over the Lombardy poplars?
11723And do they stay in the woods there all the time?
11723And do you notice how fragrant they are? 11723 And is it for me you intend the cherries, my dear child?"
11723And now Malcolm?
11723And they float it down the rivers on rafts, do n''t they?
11723And was n''t it true, Miss Harson?
11723And what is the particular name for these tree- blossoms?
11723And what is vulcanite?
11723And where does the olive- oil come from?
11723And why are they called_ deciduous?_asked Malcolm.
11723And why could n''t_ you_ say it before Clara put it into your head by saying''Overshoes?
11723And why is it boiled?
11723Are apples mentioned anywhere in the Bible?
11723Are n''t they good to eat?

11723Are there any more of the walnut family?
11723Are there any of them here?
11723Are there ever many peach trees growing in one place,asked Clara,"like the apple trees in Mr. Grove''s orchard?"
11723Are there gypsies here, Miss Harson?
11723Are there real silkworms on''em? 11723 Are they the same as oak- apples?"
11723Are willow baskets made of willow trees?
11723Are you going to tell us a story, Miss Harson?
11723Are you looking up into the sky for them? 11723 But can figs be naughty, Miss Harson?"
11723But do n''t bees make honey from the lime trees that grow in this country, too, Miss Harson?
11723But do n''t walnuts come from California? 11723 But how can people live in the hut,"asked Malcolm,"if the charcoal is burned in it?
11723But how do people manage to climb such a tree as that,asked Malcolm,"to get the dates?
11723But how do they make the baskets?
11723But is n''t it a shame,said Clara,"to spoil the maple- sugar by making the trees into chairs and things?"
11723But is n''t it strange, Miss Harson, that the Indians and the Britons did n''t get drowned going out in such little light boats?
11723But that is n''t true, is it?
11723But that is n''t_ preserves_, is it?
11723But what did they do it for?
11723But what do they want to find it for,asked Malcolm,"when it kills people?"
11723But why is it called honey- locust?
11723But why is n''t it dark and ugly, like the waterproofs?
11723But why were n''t they saved,asked Clara,"when people thought so much of them?"
11723Can you tell us something more that is done with it, Miss Harson?
11723Could n''t we have a tent, Miss Harson,asked Clara,"and try it?"
11723Did it come from England?
11723Did n''t people use to worship oak trees,asked Malcolm--"people who lived ever so long ago?"
11723Did n''t we have fine times picking''em up?
11723Did people always know about India- rubber?

11723Do almond trees and peach trees look alike?
11723Do fig trees grow wild?
11723Do n''t they grow in this country?
11723Do n''t we all look, almost the first thing, at the tree by the dining- room window?
11723Do n''t you remember, Miss Harson, that sometimes Edith and I can have only one pear divided between us at dessert because they are so large?
11723Do n''t you remember, Miss Harson,said Edith,"the little tree that I thought was on fire and how frightened I was?"
11723Do n''t you, Miss Harson?
11723Do oak trees ever have apples on''em?
11723Do people ever eat the horse- chestnut?
11723Do pigs ever eat the nuts, Miss Harson?
11723Do prunes really grow on trees, Miss Harson?

11723Do the flowers grow like real necklaces?
11723Do they eat''em instead of bread?
11723Do they have thorns on''em?
11723Do they make holes in the tree for it, as they do for maple- sap?
11723Do they mash''em, like making apples into cider?
11723Do they, Miss Harson?
11723Do willow trees grow everywhere?
11723Do you think we''d like them as well as ours, Miss Harson?
11723Does it grow up from the ground or down from the air?
11723Does n''t the beech tree have nuts?
11723Does that mean Indians, Miss Harson?
11723Does that mean that people can sit inside the tree?
11723Does the Norway spruce come from Norway?
11723Does the apple tree move its head, Miss Harson?
11723Does the sugar come right out of the tree when people tap on it with a hammer?
11723Have n''t we''most come to the end of the trees?
11723Have we any maple- sugar trees?
11723Have we any trees that look like vases, Miss Harson?

11723How long will it be before they are ripe?
11723How many of them do you wear over your shoulders at once?
11723How_ could_ you? 11723 I hope you do n''t mind our trespassing on your grounds?"
11723I should like to have some of all the trees,replied Clara,"because then we could study about them better.--Wouldn''t you, Miss Harson?"
11723I should like to know,exclaimed Clara, after some thought,"why a tree is called_ locust_, when a locust is such a disagreeable insect?"
11723I thought it was wicked,said she,"to cut off flowers from fruit trees?
11723I thought they grew all over that country?
11723I wonder how the tree got that name?
11723I wonder if all the trees will be so interesting?
11723I wonder what that species has to say for itself?
11723I wonder,said Malcolm,"if the bark is like birch- bark?"
11723I wonder,said Malcolm,"if there is anything else that can be done with the willow?"
11723Is anything done with the bark?
11723Is it a man who has palm trees or who sells dates? 11723 Is it any queerer,"asked her governess,"than to make it from leaves?
11723Is it possible,said he,"that you are the daughter of the mayor of Rebenheim?
11723Is it''the Mount of Olives''?
11723Is n''t it funny,said Edith, laughing,"to go and get their breakfasts from a_ tree_?
11723Is n''t it wicked to kill the poor little birds?
11723Is n''t it_ catkins_?
11723Is n''t that silly?
11723Is n''t that the tree that smells so in summer?
11723Is n''t there something about that in the Bible, Miss Harson?
11723Is that only one tree?
11723Is that what our cedar- chests are made of to keep the moths from our winter clothes?
11723Is that_ true_?
11723Is the red birch really red, Miss Harson?
11723Is there any story about it, Miss Harson?
11723Is there any story about the ash?
11723Is there anything more about hickory trees?
11723Is there anything to tell about the spruce tree?
11723Is_ that_ a mulberry too?
11723Like India- rubber?
11723Miss Harson,asked Clara, with a perplexed face,"what are catkins?"
11723Miss Harson,asked Clara,"do people cut down real cherry trees to make the pretty red furniture like that in your room?"
11723Miss Harson,asked Clara,"why are horse- chestnuts_ called_''horse- chestnuts''?
11723Miss Harson,asked Edith, as the talk seemed to have come to an end,"is n''t there any more about apple trees?
11723Miss Harson,asked Edith, very earnestly,"is n''t the palm tree in the Bible?"
11723Miss Harson,asked Edith, with great earnestness,"has each of our hairs got a number on it?
11723Miss Harson,said Clara,"when people talk about_ weeping_ willows, what do they mean?
11723Miss Harson,said Clara,"wo n''t you tell us, please, how they get the caoutch-- whatever it is-- and make it into India- rubber?"
11723Miss Harson,said Malcolm,"what is the upas tree like, and why is it called_ deadly_?"
11723Not the orange, I hope?
11723Oh, was it you?
11723Oh,exclaimed Edith,"was n''t that dreadful?"
11723Perhaps,said Miss Harson,"our little invalid will not care to hear about trees this evening?"
11723Put what does he do when there is no fresh fruit on them?
11723Shall we have some figs now, by way of variety?
11723So Edie''s''loaves of bread''are green?
11723So they are like feathers?
11723That seems easy enough,said Malcolm,"but how do they make it into gutta- percha?"
11723The kind of olives that papa likes to eat at dinner, and that you and I_ do n''t_ like, Miss Harson?
11723There are no lime trees here, are there?
11723This is n''t a pine tree, is it?
11723Was n''t that dreadful?
11723Was n''t that splendid?
11723Was n''t that wicked, Miss Harson?
11723Well, dear,said Miss Harson, coming to the upper window from which an eager head was thrust,"what is it that you wish me to see?"
11723Well,observed Malcolm,"I do n''t want half an apple.--But, Miss Harson, do they ever have''pear- howlings''in England?"
11723Were there any Indians there, Miss Harson?
11723Were those cherries like ours?
11723Were those weeping willows that we saw to- day?
11723What are oak-_galls_, Miss Harson?
11723What are pitch- knots?
11723What are prickly- pears?
11723What are you thinking about so seriously, Clara?
11723What color are the flowers, Miss Harson?
11723What did my little Edith see when she looked out of the window?
11723What do you notice about them?
11723What does a''palmer''mean, Miss Harson?
11723What does a_ wild_ olive tree mean, Miss Harson?
11723What is the matter, children?
11723What is''a howling crop,''Miss Harson?
11723What kept it from turning into stone too?
11723What kind grow in_ our_ woods?
11723What kind of chestnuts,asked Clara,"are those great big ones, like horse- chestnuts, that they have in some of the stores?
11723What makes it look so_ yellow_ over there, Miss Harson?
11723What tree comes next, Miss Harson?
11723What was the matter?
11723What''s the use of cones, any way?
11723What''s the use,asked Malcolm,"of calling a tree such a name as_ mocker- nut_?
11723When it is not the season for nuts?
11723Where do the real figs grow?
11723Where does slippery elm come from?
11723Who can repeat some words from the New Testament about this mountain?
11723Who put it there, I should like to know, on_ our_ land?
11723Why does n''t the man shoot''em?
11723Why, I thought,said Clara,"that silkworms always lived on mulberry- leaves?"
11723Why, do you not remember our talk about silkworms?
11723Why,_ we_ have only one,exclaimed little Edith,"and we do n''t want any more.--Do we, Clara?"
11723Will it grow then?
11723Wo n''t you have a story for us this evening, Miss Harson?
11723Wo n''t you tell us about that, Miss Harson?
11723Would n''t it be nice,said Edith,"if some would float here?"
11723You, then,said she,"were the good angel that averted such a terrible misfortune from our family?"
11723_ Real_ pink trees?
11723*****"''Children, when in prayers and praises Loudly we with lips adore, While the heart no anthem raises, Are not we like those of yore?
11723*****"Is n''t it beautiful?"
11723--What is''the glory of Lebanon,''Miss Harson?"
11723Am I right or not when I give Caroline the credit, under God, of having saved my life?
11723And is n''t it camphor?"
11723Are they good to eat?"
11723But I think you all can tell me when the hemlock is prettiest?"
11723But did n''t you say, Miss Harson, that it''s always called basswood in our country?"
11723But do n''t figs ever grow in this country, Miss Harson?"
11723But do you know that we have left the apple and rose family now, and have come to the almond family?"
11723But he does n''t gnaw our trees, does he?"
11723But how do they get it out, Miss Harson?
11723But the children thought that hemlock was hemlock: how did it come to be spruce?
11723But what does it mean?"
11723Ca n''t we get some this spring, Miss Harson, before it''s all gone?"
11723Can not one of you tell me where there are some tall, narrow trees that look almost as if they had been cut out of wood and stuck there?"
11723Did n''t I see them first?"
11723Did not our Lord say something else about a fig tree?"
11723Did they have any in Maine where you were, Miss Harson?"
11723Do horses like''em?"
11723Do n''t they ever put their heads out the least bit, Miss Harson?"
11723Do the trees really cry?
11723Do they cut great holes in the trunk of the tree?"
11723Do you remember the cherries which you so kindly gave him?"
11723Does it not seem wonderful that the mighty Ruler of the universe should condescend to such small things?
11723Does it not seem wonderful to think of?
11723How did they escape the enemy?
11723I wonder if some one can tell me about it?"
11723I wonder if you would like to hear the story about it?"
11723In the first place, I should object very much to living in the tent with you, and how could you possibly live there alone?"
11723Is anything done with the bark?"
11723Is it good to eat?"
11723Is n''t that funny, Miss Harson?"
11723Is n''t that very queer, Miss Harson?"
11723Now who can tell_ me_ something about this tree?"
11723Perhaps you will kindly tell us of some of the uses to which charcoal is applied?"
11723Tell me,"said he, in a tone of deep emotion;"was not that little child an instrument in the hand of God to save me from death?
11723The children all laughed, for did n''t papa declare-- with_ such_ a sober face!--that they were eating him out of house and home in brown bread alone?
11723What do you notice about the smoother trees?"
11723What does it mean?"
11723What does that mean, Miss Harson?"
11723What is it, Miss Harson?"
11723What is it?"
11723What other colors can you call them?"
11723What was its name?"
11723Where are they, I should like to know?"
11723Where is there a tree on the grounds answering this description, Malcolm?"
11723Who loves to be called''Little Sunshine''?"
11723Why ca n''t they take those that do n''t?"
11723Why could n''t you say''India- rubber''?"
11723Why do n''t they, Miss Harson, instead of getting killed?"
11723Why_ would_ people always laugh when there was nothing to laugh at?
11723Will you tell us something about it?"
11723Wo n''t these make apples?"
11723Would n''t you like it, Miss Harson?"
11723[ Illustration: IN THE EASY CHAIR]"Are there any poplars at Elmridge?"
11723_ THE MAPLES._"The pink trees next, I suppose,"said Malcolm,"since we have had the yellow ones?"
11723and can we see''em?"
11723called out Clara, in great excitement, as she caught up with her governess on a run;"has n''t Edie poisoned herself?
11723exclaimed Clara, in surprise;"does sago really grow on a tree?"
11723exclaimed Clara;"did you ever see any that was written on?"
11723exclaimed her audience;"could any tree be as old as that?"
11723exclaimed three voices at once;"what is that?
11723said Miss Harson, laughing;"what shall I do with you?
11723what''s the matter with Edie now?"
17807An umbrella? 17807 And I s''pose we''ll meet all your friends in the woods, wo n''t we, Uncle Wiggily?"
17807And can you tell me, Tommie, why your kite is like Buddy, the guinea pig boy?
17807And did you bring all that noise with you?
17807And so you wo n''t take me until I pull this sassafras root?
17807And where are you, so that I may save you?
17807And where do you want me to come?
17807Anything special to do? 17807 Are n''t you a bit early?"
17807Are you going anywhere in particular?
17807Are you going to make a canoe, as the Indians used to do?
17807Are you here in the woods, looking for an adventure? 17807 Are you looking for some of your lost ones-- Little Bopeep or Tommy Tucker, who sings for his supper?"
17807Are you-- are you going to have me for supper?
17807Are-- are you going to scratch and bite me?
17807Better take an umbrella, had n''t you?
17807Bitter medicine, eh?
17807Brother,began the hump- tailed''gator( which I call him for short),"brother, would n''t you like a nice rabbit?"
17807But before you take me away would you mind pulling down Tommie''s kite?
17807But before you take me off to your den, which I suppose you will do, will you grant me one favor?
17807But did I understand you to say you lived in a hive- tree?
17807But what about the black- boards?
17807But what about you and Uncle Wiggily? 17807 But what am I going to do?"
17807But what is it holding me?
17807But what shall I wear while I''m waiting?
17807But when is the party going to take place, Nannie?
17807But where is my butter?
17807But why do n''t you ask him a good way to give the medicine to Jackie?
17807But, Squeaky, why did n''t you slide down hill in the Winter, when there was snow?
17807Can I tell you why my kite is like Buddy, the guinea pig boy?
17807Can it be that the drug store monkey doodle has left some here for me?
17807Can you?
17807Could you do that, Uncle Wiggily?
17807Cream puffs?
17807Did some more mud splash on your new shoes, Nannie?
17807Did you bite your tongue or step on a thorn?
17807Did you lose one of your new shoes?
17807Did you speak?
17807Do n''t have to go to school? 17807 Do n''t you call that an adventure-- lifting the stone off the Jack- in- the- Pulpit so he could grow?"
17807Do n''t you want to pick any?
17807Do something for you, Nurse Jane? 17807 Do you know how to spin a top, Uncle Wiggily?"
17807Do you mean it is a pleasure for me, or for you?
17807Do you think I ought to have the holes for my ears cut a little larger?
17807Do you think I would look well in it?
17807Do you think it looks well on me, Nurse Jane?
17807Do you want me to show you how to pick up a top, and let it spin on your paw?
17807Go to the store? 17807 Going to a party?
17807Have a game of tag with you? 17807 Have what much longer?"
17807Have you any bullets?
17807Have you any more string, Uncle Wiggily?
17807Hazel nuts?
17807How are you?
17807How can a fellow be happy when there''s no fun?
17807How can you give Squeaky a slide down hill when there is no snow? 17807 How can you?"
17807How is Jackie?
17807How will all that happen?
17807How?
17807I am the dogwood tree, you know, so why should I not bark and growl to scare foxes, and take care of you little puppy chaps? 17807 I guess you are a little bit twisted; are you not?"
17807I say, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, what''s going on down in your kitchen?
17807I suppose you sunbeams are kept very busy shining on, and warming, all the plants and trees in the woods?
17807I wonder if I could scare him away with my umbrella, Johnnie?
17807I wonder if I have forgotten how to play the games I used to enjoy when I was a boy rabbit?
17807I wonder if I shall have an adventure today?
17807I wonder if Nurse Jane could have come along and taken it to the hollow stump bungalow herself?
17807I wonder if anything can have happened to him? 17807 I wonder if they could have taken your butter?
17807I wonder what sort of an adventure I shall have this time?
17807I wonder what sort of an adventure I will have today?
17807I wonder who can be talking?
17807I wonder who it can be? 17807 I wonder who it can be?"
17807I wonder who it is, and if I can help? 17807 Is n''t it?"
17807Is that a good top for me, Billie?
17807Is there anything I can do for you?
17807Looking for you? 17807 Matter with me?
17807May I have the pleasure of doing something for you?
17807Measles? 17807 Measles?
17807Mr. High Tree, will you kindly shake my hat down to me?
17807Much rather,answered the shaggy creature,"but where is the honey?"
17807My top? 17807 Nice enough to go to Grandfather Goosey Gander''s party?"
17807No butter?
17807Not afraid of us, eh? 17807 Not so well?
17807Now, Jackie, I''m a good friend of yours, and you would n''t mind just holding this cup of bitter medicine in your paw, would you, to please me?
17807Now, would you mind holding it up to your lips, as if you were going to make believe take it?
17807Oh, Uncle Wiggily, whatever is the matter?
17807Oh, but wo n''t you walk with me to the party?
17807Oh, did you? 17807 Oh, how can I get some good butter for Nurse Jane?"
17807Oh, indeed?
17807Oh, what are we going to do?
17807Peppermint candy?
17807Really?
17807Really?
17807So do I,Uncle Wiggily said, as he hopped off, leaning on his red, white and blue stripped[ Transcriber''s note: striped?]
17807So the boys are playing marbles, eh? 17807 So the party is to- day, is it?
17807So you ca n''t have any fun? 17807 Some one drowning?
17807String, Tommie? 17807 Surprised to see me, are n''t you?"
17807Surprised, are you?
17807The drug store? 17807 Then I wonder where I am going to get Nurse Jane''s peppermint?"
17807Then where can Jackie and Peetie be keeping themselves?
17807There is n''t anything here in the woods to cure toothache; is there?
17807There, how do I look?
17807This is n''t Saturday, is it?
17807Time for what?
17807Trouble, eh?
17807Was he bad?
17807Was it you who were talking about being thirsty?
17807Was that you who called?
17807Was that your butter?
17807Washing what; the dishes?
17807Well, how are things with you, and how is Nurse Jane?
17807Well, what are you going to do about it?
17807Well, while you are out walking among the trees would you mind doing me a favor?
17807Were you looking for me?
17807What about the yeast cake?
17807What about the yeast cake?
17807What are we going to do?
17807What are you doing here, Uncle Wiggily?
17807What are you doing, Uncle Wiggily?
17807What are you going to do?
17807What dance are you going to do?
17807What did you say you had in the basket?
17807What do you wish?
17807What does it sound like?
17807What happened?
17807What is it that I can do for myself as well as for you, Janie?
17807What is it you want?
17807What is it?
17807What is it?
17807What is it?
17807What is the matter, little mice?
17807What is the matter?
17807What is?
17807What is?
17807What is?
17807What shall we do, Johnnie? 17807 What was it all about?"
17807What was that you gave me, Uncle Wiggily?
17807What would I buy if I had five cents, Billie? 17807 What would you like me to do?"
17807What''s in it?
17807What''s scrite?
17807What''s seems to be the matter?
17807What''s that red thing?
17807What''s that?
17807What''s the matter now?
17807What''s the matter now?
17807What''s the matter, lady mouse teacher?
17807What''s the matter? 17807 What''s the matter?"
17807Whatever shall I do? 17807 Where are we going?"
17807Where are you going with your nice new dress?
17807Where are you going, Johnnie?
17807Where are you going, Susie?
17807Where are you going?
17807Where is Uncle Wiggily?
17807Where was yours?
17807Where? 17807 Where?"
17807Which store?
17807Who are you, and what do you know?
17807Who are you, if you please?
17807Who are you?
17807Who is it wants me to come with them?
17807Who knows what may happen? 17807 Who would think,"she said,"that you could slide down a slippery elm tree?
17807Why ca n''t you go?
17807Why did you do that? 17807 Why did you run off without cleaning the black- boards for the lady mouse teacher?"
17807Why do they ring?
17807Why do you want me to do that?
17807Why have n''t you gone to school today? 17807 Why is he in bed?"
17807Why not?
17807Why not?
17807Why not?
17807Why where are you going so early this morning, Jimmie?
17807Why, are n''t they home?
17807Why, is he ill?
17807Why, not?
17807Why, what''s the matter?
17807Why-- why, it''s just like sticky flypaper, is n''t it?
17807Will you come for a walk with me, Uncle Wiggily? 17807 Will you let me go if I give you what''s in my basket?"
17807Will you let me have one more shot?
17807With my red, white and blue crutch or my umbrella?
17807Would you like to have it spin on your paw?
17807Would you like to help Nurse Jane?
17807Would you mind scratching my ears, instead of Uncle Wiggily''s?
17807Would you not rather eat some honey than me?
17807You do n''t mean to say they have run away, do you?
17807You do n''t mean to tell me anything has happened to you?
17807You have there some sugar, some bread and a yeast cake; have you not?
17807You want to see me?
17807Your butter?
17807All at once, as Mr. Longears was going past an old log he heard a rustling in the bushes, and a voice said:"Well, we nearly caught them, did n''t we?"
17807Am I to carry him to our den, or you?"
17807Are n''t they nice?"
17807Are n''t you going to get up and come down?"
17807Are n''t you going to get up?
17807Bear?"
17807Bow Wow?"
17807Bushytail?"
17807But did he catch him?
17807But did the bear get Uncle Wiggily?
17807But do you s''pose the bunny uncle and the squirrel boy stayed there to be caught?
17807Ca n''t you get that root up?"
17807Ca n''t you shine on me this way?"
17807Ca n''t you stop for a moment and say how- d''-do?"
17807Come on, fellows, with me, will you?"
17807Come with you?
17807Come, good Mr. Hazel Bush, will you save us from the bear?"
17807Did he have an adventure in the night?
17807Did the bad skillery- scalery alligator, with humps on its tail, carry him off?"
17807Eh?"
17807Have you any talcum powder to shoot?"
17807He got his paws under a nice, big root, and he was straining his back to pull it up, when, all of a sudden, he heard a voice saying:"How do you do?"
17807How can I get more?"
17807I wonder if I can not help?"
17807Is any of my butter left?"
17807Let me see; which shall I take first?"
17807Of what use are we in the world?
17807Oh, what fun we are having, are n''t we?"
17807Oh, what shall I do?"
17807Oh, why did n''t I tell Wiggy to bring me some blueing from the store?
17807Possum?"

17807So the puppy dogs were chased, were they?
17807So you thought you could get away from me that way, did you?
17807Then he came up and sat down on the porch, but he seemed so quiet and thoughtful that Uncle Wiggily asked:"Is anything the matter, Billie?"
17807What are you going to do to me?"
17807What did you want of him?"
17807What do you want; talcum powder or court plaster?"
17807What for?"
17807What happened you two chaps?"
17807What is it?"
17807What is it?"
17807What was it you wanted of me?"
