8589Why did not Captain Cook have taste enough to call his great discovery the Rainbow Islands?
8589Will you sign or not?"
8589[ He sees doom impending:] WHEN WILL THE CIRCLE JOIN?
8589[ Who received the erroneous telegrams?]
8589do you still refuse?"
8482''And the boy knew it?''
8482''Brothers,''said the leader,''has never any one of you, when fasting, dreamed of some friendly spirit who would aid you as a guardian?''
8482''Dashed who in pieces-- her parents?''
8482''Do you still travel with it?''
8482''Everything about what?''
8482''Have n''t you the least idea?''
8482''Is that so?''
8482''No, indeed,''said one of the others,''do you not know we were all killed, and that it is our sister who has brought us to life?''
8482''Very drunk?''
8482''Who is a great manito?''
8482''Wish you may die in your tracks if you have?''
8482A citizen asked,''Do you remember when Jimmy Finn, the town drunkard, was burned to death in the calaboose?''
8482And above Winona you''ll have lovely prairies; and then come the Thousand Islands, too beautiful for anything; green?
8482And what will become of you?
8482But what can you do?
8482Do you know how the man came to be burned up in the calaboose?''
8482How can I give what I would have done with so much pleasure?
8482I do n''t mean HIS act, I mean yours: would you be a murderer for letting him have that pistol?''
8482I said, with admiration--''Why, how in the world did you ever guess it?''
8482I said--''What is the matter?''
8482Is she the maiden of the rock?--and are the two connected by legend?''
8482Now, is that boy a murderer, do you think?''
8482Presently he asked--''Are you going to give him up to the law?''
8482Quick-- out with it-- what did I say?''
8482The burden of my thought was, How much did I divulge?
8482The chief, looking around, and observing the woman, after some time said to the man who came with her:''Who have you got there?
8482The man was drunk?''
8482Well, would it be murder?''
8482What became of Winona?''
8482What was to be done''?
8482Why?
8482in this town?''
8482profit?
8482who can this be he is leading us to?''
8482who is a manito?
8472''Do n''t KNOW?''
8472''Do you give it as an order?''
8472''How on earth am I ever going to learn it, then?''
8472''Indeed?
8472''Learn a new set, then, every year?''
8472''Now do n''t you see the difference?
8472''Pretty square crossing, an''t it?''
8472''What DO you know?''
8472''What''s the name of the NEXT point?''
8472''Why?''
8472''Why?''
8472''Yes, but suppose the leads lie?
8472''You did n''t?
8472''You-- you-- don''t know?''
8472And does n''t he sometimes wonder whether he has gained most or lost most by learning his trade?
8472Are not all her visible charms sown thick with what are to him the signs and symbols of hidden decay?
8472Are there many of them?''
8472Did n''t I tell you that a man''s got to know the river in the night the same as he''d know his own front hall?''
8472Did you ever know of a boat following a bend up- stream at this stage of the river?''
8472Do you see that stump on the false point?''
8472Do you see where the line fringes out at the upper end and begins to fade away?''
8472Does he ever see her beauty at all, or does n''t he simply view her professionally, and comment upon her unwholesome condition all to himself?
8472Have I got to learn the shape of the river according to all these five hundred thousand different ways?
8472He opened on me after this fashion--''How much water did we have in the middle crossing at Hole- in- the- Wall, trip before last?''
8472How am I ever going to tell them apart?''
8472How do you reckon I can remember such a mess as that?''
8472How high was the bank along here last trip?''
8472Is the river rising or falling?''
8472Meet any boats?''
8472Mr. Bixby said to the mate:--''Upper end of the plantation, or the lower?''
8472One day he said--''What is the height of that bank yonder, at Burgess''s?''
8472One day he turned on me suddenly with this settler--''What is the shape of Walnut Bend?''
8472One visitor said to another--''Jim, how did you run Plum Point, coming up?''
8472Presently he turned on me and said:--''What''s the name of the first point above New Orleans?''
8472So he began--''Do you see that long slanting line on the face of the water?
8472The voice of the invisible watchman called up from the hurricane deck--''What''s this, sir?''
8472We are drawing-- how much?''
8472What are you standing up through the middle of the river for?''
8472What did you suppose he wanted to know for?''
8472What do you start out from, above Twelve- Mile Point, to cross over?''
8472What do you suppose I told you the names of those points for?''
8472What does that signify?''
8472Why, what could you want over here in the bend, then?
8472Will it keep the same form and not go fooling around?''
8472an''t the new cub turned out yet?
8585But what kind?
8585Cal., what kind of a house are you going to build?
8585Cal., when are you going to Europe?
8585Did n''t say nothing but that?
8585Going to be gone all summer?
8585Mr. Arkansas, if you''d only let me--"Who''s a henderin''you? 8585 No-- but are you in earnest?"
8585Steamer of the 10th?
8585Too much climbing? 8585 Was that all that you said?"
8585Well then why d''n''t you say it? 8585 Well, do you know that you have got one of the most expensive and arduous undertakings before you that was ever conceived by man?"
8585What is?
8585What part of Europe shall you go to?
8585Where are you going to live?
8585Why no-- how is that?
8585Why? 8585 Ai n''t it so, Smith? 8585 Ai n''t it? 8585 Ai n''t this company agreeable to you? 8585 Are you? 8585 But what is the use? 8585 Did n''t I say, no longer ago than last night, that for a man that was a gentleman all the time and every way you took him, give me Arkansas? 8585 Do you hear him talk about bloodshed? 8585 How did they get there? 8585 How much did I want? 8585 I''m the man, am I? 8585 If there''s got to be bloodshed--"Do you hear that, gentlemen? 8585 Is that it? 8585 Is that what you''re coming at?
8585Is that your idea?
8585It''s me you''re goin''to murder, is it?
8585Now you know that I ai n''t the man to--""Are you a threatenin''me?
8585Once Higbie said:"When are you going home-- to the States?"
8585Said he:"Wha- what do you know a-- about Pennsylvania?
8585Sha n''t you keep a carriage?"
8585Then came a white upheaval at my side, and a voice said, with bitterness:"Will some gentleman be so good as to kick me behind?"
8585Then he said to the men:"So you have taken a contract to run a tunnel into this hill two hundred and fifty feet to strike this ledge?"
8585Wha-- what do you know''bout Pennsylvania?"
8585What did you come swellin''around that way for, and tryin''to raise trouble?"
8585What do you say?"
8585What is your idea?"
8585What''s the matter with you this mornin'', anyway?
8585When are you?"
8585You want us to leave do you?
8585You was only goin''to say-- what was you goin''to say?
8477''Ah-- stabbed, do you mean?''
8477''Brandy?
8477''Carried the WHOLE town away?-banks, churches, jails, newspaper- offices, court- house, theater, fire department, livery stable EVERYTHING?''
8477''Dead?''
8477''Failed to escape?--caught in the act and shot?''
8477''Go ashore where?''
8477''How, then?''
8477''Napoleon?''
8477''No?
8477''Serious?
8477''Well, by---?''
8477''Why does he mix such elaborate and picturesque drinks for the nigger hands on the boat?''
8477''Why, hang it, do n''t you know?
8477And where so many are saying their say, shall not the barkeeper testify?
8477But if he wait?
8477Ca n''t a man go ashore at Napoleon if he wants to?''
8477Can you divine what my first thought was?
8477Could you have endured an hour of it, do you think?
8477Did I appeal to the law-- I?
8477Does it quench the pauper''s thirst if the King drink for him?
8477From them might not almost anybody reproduce for himself the life of that time in Vicksburg?
8477Good liquors?
8477How accomplish this, do you say?
8477How strangely things repeat themselves, after long years; for MY hands were tied, that night, you remember?
8477I said--''Come, what is all this about?
8477I said--''What, then-- didn''t he escape?''
8477If he make ten voyages in succession-- what then?
8477On the other boats?
8477Presently the poet inquired--''Are you going to send it to him right away?''
8477Rogers said--''Who would have had ANY if it had n''t been for me?
8477So I inquired about this thing; asked what resulted usually?
8477Take a look behind you-- up- stream-- now you begin to recognize this country, do n''t you?''
8477The captain laughed; but seeing that I was not in a jovial mood, stopped that and said--''But are you serious?''
8477This man had kept a diary during-- six weeks?
8477Three hours--?
8477What happened, then?''
8477What was my idea in this nonsense?
8477What, you can not?
8477You give a nigger a plain gill of half- a- dollar brandy for five cents-- will he touch it?
8477Your teeth chatter-- then why can not you shout?
8477profit?''
5809All right, what will you give?
5809And keep it? 5809 But what about your shark?"
5809He wo n''t go? 5809 How do you know I wo n''t make it worse?"
5809Later news? 5809 Oh, in- deed?
5809Say-- Mark!--is he dead?
5809The shark? 5809 What do you bring that kind of a message here for?
5809What is your name?
5809What use is he? 5809 What, the whole of it?"
5809What, you are not going?
5809With him? 5809 --when probably nothing of the kind happened; for how should he know? 5809 Am I excited? 5809 And if you had it, what would you do with it?
5809And what was the origin of this majestic city and its efflorescence of palatial town houses and country seats?
5809Come, who are you?"
5809Do n''t you know that we can go and report him to Government, and you''ll get a clean solid eighty shillings bounty?
5809Do you know what our crop is going to foot up?"
5809Does he say he wo n''t go?"
5809Dress?
5809Have you the gates?''"
5809How do you know?"
5809How then shall he determine which gods are the stronger, his own or those that preside over the concerns of other nations?
5809I wonder where they get railroad coffee?
5809Is he crazy?"
5809Is that what you mean?"
5809My first thought was, why did n''t he have the coffin opened?
5809Now then-- just for curiosity''s sake-- what has sent you to me on this extraordinary errand?"
5809Now wherein does one cow- track differ from another?
5809Now, then, do you know what the margins would foot up, to buy it at sixty days?"
5809Overshadows them?
5809Shall he place his fate in the hands of weak gods when there may be stronger ones to be found?
5809Then aloud,"Well, my good fellow, be quick about it; do n''t waste any words; what is it you want?"
5809Then where was the use in harrying a ghost?
5809Well, why, do n''t you jump?
5809What are you writing?"
5809What did you say your name is?"
5809What do you think about it now?"
5809What does he say he wants?"
5809What is the matter with the specter?
5809What is your scheme?"
5809Where did you get it?"
5809Where is the use in getting excited?
5809Who handled the cat?
5809Why do they puff him away?
5809Why would you buy the crop, and why would you make that sum out of it?
5809Why, what use is he to me?"
5812He did, did he?
5812How do you mean?
5812I know; but how did you get the name?
5812I mane, why wudn''t he put his naime to ut?
5812Is this all?
5812Is ut his own handwrite?
5812Master?
5812Oh, he did, did he?
5812Oh, he does, does he?
5812Oh, ye have, have ye?
5812Well, you''ll never get in"Why?
5812Well-- then-- how-- did-- your-- father-- get-- his name?
5812What business?
5812What does he want to see ye about?
5812What is it, Satan?
5812Who?
5812Why, what is the trouble?
5812Ye are? 5812 And not with marked courtesy of tone:Well, sor, what will you have?"
5812And what is it?"
5812And when a mad elephant goes raging through, belting right and left with his trunk, how do these swarms of people get out of the way?
5812Are ye in the business?"
5812Are ye in the show business yerself?"
5812But a native official, who had a green flag in his hand, saw me, and said politely:"Do n''t you belong in the train, sir?"
5812But how is it you are here?
5812Dear me, ca n''t you explain?
5812Did they purpose training them up as Thugs?
5812He said:"It''s not an aisy one to spell; how do you pronounce ut?"
5812How could they take care of such little creatures on a march which stretched over several months?
5812How did people come to drift into such a strange custom?
5812How did you get by that Irishman?
5812How did you get your English; is it an acquirement, or just a gift of God?"
5812How do you think Satan would do?"
5812How is that?"
5812I show him up, master?"
5812Is that a slur?
5812One more thing: Why was such a cruel death chosen-- why would n''t a gentle one have answered?
5812That is your secret?
5812The hundredth can keep it-- how long?
5812These silent crowds sat there with their humble bundles and baskets and small household gear about them, and patiently waited-- for what?
5812They had n''t timed themselves well, but that was no matter-- the thing had been so ordered from on high, therefore why worry?
5812Was n''t it curious-- and amazing, and tremendous, and all that?
5812Was that it?
5812Was that proposition the equivalent of inviting European ladies to assemble scantily and scandalously clothed in the seclusion of a private park?
5812Well, then, why ud he write it like that?"
5812What are you doing here?
5812What did they do with those poor little fellows?
5812What is it ye want to see him about?"
5812What is your name?"
5812What was the fascination, what was the impulse?
5812What was the origin of the idea?
5812What was their subsequent history?
5812When he rose to say good- bye, the door swung open and I caught the flash of a red fez, and heard these words, reverently said--"Satan see God out?"
5812Would you have been?
5812Would you mind giving a guess, if ye''ll be so good?"
5812and what is it that can not happen in India?
5812but is this for all certainty, is this the sentence of death?
5810''Him? 5810 And you''ll shake hands with me?"
5810Correspondence?
5810Did n''t do what?
5810Honor bright-- you have n''t? 5810 I-- er-- but have n''t you got anything against us?"
5810I? 5810 Is that so?
5810What? 5810 Where are your guns?"
5810Where your little guns?
5810You? 5810 And of course you had n''t had you?
5810As we drove off I had only time to say,''Why, what do you know about him?''
5810But I was calm; so I said softly, and without acrimony:"''Which fox?''
5810But what would Ed do when he got back to Memphis?
5810But----""Well, then, what have you got against me?
5810Did what he said leave an impression upon you?"
5810Do you know that extraordinary man?"
5810Do you know who it was?
5810Had the boys all gone mad?
5810Had you any conversation with him?"
5810Have we met before?"
5810He says he says-- why, who is it?"
5810How could they stoop down and get it, with only two feet of space to stoop in?
5810How did they keep that sand- pipe from caving in on them?
5810How did they throw sand out from such a depth?
5810I do n''t know why; and he thundered out:"''WHICH fox?
5810I have read somewhere that an acute observer among the early explorers-- Cook?
5810Now how much should you say it is worth?"
5810Presently there was an interruption by the chief:"Who are you?"
5810She said:"''He spoke to you!--didn''t he?''
5810Tell me-- what do you think of him?''
5810Then he said:"Do you remember Corrigan Castle?"
5810Was Fairchild crazy?
5810We brewed and lit up; then he passed a sheet of note- paper to me and said--"Do you remember that?"
5810We talked of the people we had known there, or had casually met; and G. said:"Do you remember my introducing you to an earl-- the Earl of C.?"
5810What could be the explanation of this extraordinary conduct?
5810What could be the meaning of this?
5810What did he talk about?"
5810What did you talk about?"
5810What do you all treat me so for?"
5810What have I done?"
5810What is the secret of the feat?
5810What makes you all act so?
5810What put such a thing into your head?"
5810What''s the matter?"
5810When I delivered the letter----""Did you deliver it?"
5810When he was going, he turned and said:"You do n''t remember me?"
5810Where?"
5810Which way did the FOX go?''
5810Why, THE fox?
5810You observe the combination?
5810Youth and gaiety might vanish, any day-- and then, what is left?
5810said I,"how did you come by this?"
8586A what?
8586Am I the-- pardon me, I believe I do not understand?
8586And can I take him up the shore and hang him as soon as you are done?
8586Are you comfortable?
8586Certainly he did; but you are not thinking of hanging him without a trial?
8586Could you wait a little?
8586Dead before? 8586 Did n''t I say I was going to hang him?
8586Have you formed or expressed opinions about it?
8586Have you held conversations upon the subject?
8586Have you read the newspaper accounts of it?
8586How? 8586 How?
8586How?
8586Never shook his mother?
8586Not people of any repute?
8586Oh, you do? 8586 On it?
8586Scooped him?
8586The which?
8586Thrown up the sponge?
8586Well, but why should he shake her?
8586What did I understand you to say?
8586What do you want aboard this ship?
8586What''s this for?
8586Why? 8586 A good man, says you? 8586 And ai n''t they cool about it, too? 8586 Are there no hay wagons in from the Truckee? 8586 Are you going to hang him any how-- and try him afterward?
8586Assist at the obsequies?"
8586Begin again?"
8586But did n''t he kill the nigger?"
8586But why go on?
8586Can not you simplify them in some way?
8586Could you say it over once more, and say it slow?"
8586Did n''t he kill the nigger?"
8586Do you reckon a man has got as many lives as a cat?
8586Great Neptune, ai n''t he guilty?
8586Had deceased any religious convictions?
8586He said:"Do you see that ship there at the dock?"
8586How long will it take?"
8586I had been a private secretary, a silver miner and a silver mill operative, and amounted to less than nothing in each, and now-- What to do next?
8586I said:"Higbie, what-- what is it?"
8586If an unknown individual arrived, they did not inquire if he was capable, honest, industrious, but-- had he killed his man?
8586If his Sunday- school class progressed faster than the other classes, was it matter for wonder?
8586It''s a kind of a hard world, after all, ai n''t it?
8586Ned said:"Who goes there?"
8586Now if we can get you to help plant him--""Preach the funeral discourse?
8586On what?"
8586Presently a head appeared in the circle of daylight away aloft, and a voice came down:"Are you all set?"
8586Said Col. Jack:"Ai n''t it gay, though?
8586See?"
8586That is to say, did he feel a dependence upon, or acknowledge allegiance to a higher power?"
8586Then he talked an earnest, persuasive sermon to him, and ended by repeating the question:"Did you kill the nigger?"
8586Then in a whisper to Col. Jim:"But ai n''t these New Yorkers friendly?
8586Then to Col. Jim, with a sounding slap on his thigh:"Ai n''t it style, though?
8586What I was a drivin''at, was, that he never throwed off on his mother--don''t you see?
8586What could the world do without juries?
8586What did I understand you to say?"
8586What do I want to try him for, if he killed the nigger?"
8586What else could one expect?
8586What to do next?
8586What would the boys say if they could see us cutting a swell like this in New York?
8586What''ll you take-- the old thing?"
8586What''s the difference?
8586Where are you going?"
8586Why could not the jury law be so altered as to give men of brains and honesty and equal chance with fools and miscreants?
8586Why did you not say so before?
8586Why, has he ever been dead before?"
8586Why?
8586Yes, you see he''s dead again--""Again?
8586You killed the nigger?"
8586You see, one of the boys has gone up the flume--""Gone where?"
3463Are you Horace Bigsby''s cub?
3463Can I have it-- can Clara and I have it all for our own?
3463Did I ever tell you the plot of it? 3463 Did it knock him down?"
3463Did n''t Henry tell you to land here?
3463Did n''t you hear him?
3463Did you do that?
3463Did you ever do any steering?
3463Did you follow it up? 3463 Did you pound him much-- that is, severely?"
3463Do n''t you know I have only talked as yet, but proved nothing? 3463 Do n''t you understand, Youth?"
3463Do n''t you understand? 3463 Do you chew?"
3463Do you drink?
3463Do you gamble?
3463Do you know the Bowen boys?
3463Do you swear?
3463George,he said,"what pictures are these that gentleman left?"
3463Hard?
3463Have n''t you any other friend that you could suggest?
3463How do you follow a hall at home in the dark? 3463 How much do you think it ought to be, Mark?"
3463How on earth am I going to learn it, then?
3463How would you like a young man to learn the river?
3463If they want letters from here-- who''ll run from morning till night collecting material cheaper? 3463 Oh Youth, have you done anything?"
3463Pounded him?
3463Some one you know?
3463Was it Grady that killed himself trying to do all the dining and speeching? 3463 What are you reading, Sam?"
3463What did you do?
3463What do they mean by that?
3463What do you know?
3463What in the nation you steerin''at, anyway? 3463 What is your name?"
3463What makes you pull your words that way?
3463What will you have, Sam?
3463What with?
3463What''s the name of the next point?
3463What-- do you-- charge?
3463Who was it?
3463Whose name was that we were just applauding?
3463Why do n''t you light it yourself?
3463Why,he said, holding out his hand,"you did not tell us you were coming?"
3463You''re Secesh, ai n''t you?
3463A man with him asked:"Who''s Mark Twain?"
3463And the final heartsick line,"Do n''t you suppose they have pretty much quit writing at home?"
3463Are you?"
3463As we turned into the lane that led to Stormfield he said:"Can we see where you have built your billiard- room?"
3463At a party one night, being urged to make a conundrum, he said:"Well, why am I like the Pacific Ocean?"
3463Brown said, fiercely,"Here, why did n''t you tell me we had got to land at that plantation?"
3463Clemens asked,"You''ve heard from those gentlemen out there?"
3463Clemens, just then coming to say good- night, saw a little group gathered about her bed, and heard Clara ask:"Katy, is it true?
3463Did you do anything further?"
3463Did you have any bets on us?"
3463Do n''t you know I have never held in my hands a gold or silver bar that belonged to me?
3463Do you hear me?
3463Do you realize, Mark, what a symposium it is to be?
3463Favored by fortune, beloved by millions, honored now even in the highest places, what more had life to give?
3463Give him a good, sound thrashing, do you hear?
3463He wrote, too, now and then, and finished the little book called"Is Shakespeare Dead?"
3463Helen Keller wrote:"And you are seventy years old?
3463How do you run Plum Point?"
3463I think he added one or two other remarks, then all at once, turning upon me those piercing agate- blue eyes, he said:"When would you like to begin?"
3463It only costs them$ 1 apiece, and, if they ca n''t stand it, what do they stay here for?"
3463Livy, what can I do?"
3463Mark Twain, in the"Mississippi"boot remembers them as follows:"Did you strike him first?"
3463Oh, Katy, is it true?"
3463Once, when his lecture was over, an old man came up to him and said:"Be them your natural tones of eloquence?"
3463Or is the report exaggerated, like that of your death?
3463Summoned to go at last, he chided himself for staying so long; but she said there was no harm and kissed him, saying,"you will come back?"
3463Tell us, Mark, why are you like the Pacific Ocean?"
3463That morning when the dictation ended he said:"Have you any special place to lunch, to- day?"
3463Then Mr. Goodman said:"Of course, Artemus, it''s all right, but why did you give us Upper Canada?"
3463Then he would be likely to say:"Why did n''t you stop me?
3463Then:"Look here, what do you suppose I told you the names of those points for?"
3463Waiting his turn at the booking- desk, he heard a newspaper man inquire:"What notables are going?"
3463Was it fate or Providence that suddenly placed it in his hands?
3463Was it swept out of a bank, or caught up by the wind from some counting- room table?
3463What do you start from, above Twelve Mile Point, to cross over?"
3463What name do you want to use Josh?"
3463What was its origin?
3463Where are you going now?
3463Where is it Orion''s going to?
3463Where you headin''for now?"
3463Who knows?
3463Why did you let me go on making a donkey of myself when you could have saved me?"
3463Would you like a series of papers to run through three months, or six, or nine-- or about four months, say?"
3463he asked,"pilots in the St. Louis and New Orleans trade?"
8479''A dark and dreadful one?''
8479''Account for it?
8479''And the boy knew it?''
8479''And what''s the other?''
8479''Brothers,''said the leader,''has never any one of you, when fasting, dreamed of some friendly spirit who would aid you as a guardian?''
8479''Dashed who in pieces-- her parents?''
8479''Do you still travel with it?''
8479''Everything about what?''
8479''Have n''t you the least idea?''
8479''How do you account for it?''
8479''How is that?''
8479''Is that so?''
8479''Is that so?''
8479''No, indeed,''said one of the others,''do you not know we were all killed, and that it is our sister who has brought us to life?''
8479''Very drunk?''
8479''Well, what are they?''
8479''Well,''said I,''if you are so light- hearted and jolly in ordinary times, what must you be in an epidemic?''
8479''Which one?''
8479''Who is a great manito?''
8479''Why did n''t you see them Roman soldiers that stood back there in a rank, and sometimes marched in procession around the stage?''
8479''Wish you may die in your tracks if you have?''
8479A citizen asked,''Do you remember when Jimmy Finn, the town drunkard, was burned to death in the calaboose?''
8479And above Winona you''ll have lovely prairies; and then come the Thousand Islands, too beautiful for anything; green?
8479And what did the husband do?
8479And what will become of you?
8479Are you happy?
8479At last he said in a low voice--''My little friend, can you keep a secret?''
8479But what can you do?
8479Do all the good people go to your place?
8479Do all whom you send from Hartford serve their Master as well?
8479Do n''t it occur to you, why?''
8479Do you know how the man came to be burned up in the calaboose?''
8479How can I give what I would have done with so much pleasure?
8479How do you amuse yourself?
8479How is that?
8479How long have you been in the spirit land?
8479I asked him various questions; first about a mate of mine in Sunday school-- what became of him?
8479I do n''t mean HIS act, I mean yours: would you be a murderer for letting him have that pistol?''
8479I met him on the street the next morning, and before I could speak, he asked--''Did you see me?''
8479I said, with admiration--''Why, how in the world did you ever guess it?''
8479I said--''What is the matter?''
8479Is n''t that a good deal of a triumph?
8479Is not this true?
8479Is she the maiden of the rock?--and are the two connected by legend?''
8479Is there much profit on a coffin?''
8479Now, is that boy a murderer, do you think?''
8479Presently he asked--''Are you going to give him up to the law?''
8479Quick-- out with it-- what did I say?''
8479Some talk followed--''Why-- what should make you suspect that it is n''t genuine?''
8479The burden of my thought was, How much did I divulge?
8479The chief, looking around, and observing the woman, after some time said to the man who came with her:''Who have you got there?
8479The man was drunk?''
8479Then this one has actually forgotten the date of its translation to the spirit land?
8479To- day I heard a schoolmistress ask,''Where is John gone?''
8479Unhandkerchiefs one eye, bats it around tearfully over the stock; says--''"And fhat might ye ask for that wan?"
8479Very well, then, when did you pass away?
8479Well, then, what year was it?
8479Well, when you come to look at it all around, and chew at it and think it over, do n''t it just bang anything you ever heard of?''
8479Well, would it be murder?''
8479What became of Winona?''
8479What do you drink?
8479What do you eat there?
8479What do you read?
8479What do you smoke?
8479What do you talk about?
8479What else?
8479What is it?''
8479What was to be done''?
8479When did the r disappear from Southern speech, and how did it come to disappear?
8479When did you die?
8479When your friends in the earth all get to the spirit land, what shall you have to talk about then?--nothing but about how happy you all are?
8479Where are you?
8479Where did you get all this youth and bubbling cheerfulness?
8479Why?
8479Would you like to come back?
8479Would you say that under oath?
8479You hear gentlemen say,''Where have you been at?''
8479in this town?''
8479profit?
8479who can this be he is leading us to?''
8479who is a manito?
2984And the children-- Miss Susie and little Clara?
2984Cable,he said,"do you know anything about this book, the Arthurian legends of Sir Thomas Malory, Morte Arthure?"
2984Did you ever hear of Mark Twain?
2984Do you expect to pay extra fare?
2984Do you mean to say that you''re not going to vote for him?
2984George,he said,"what pictures are those that gentleman left?"
2984Hain''t we all the fools in town on our side? 2984 I said,''Who the h-- l are you?
2984M.--What does it mean? 2984 MAMA-- What did you say?
2984Oh, Youth, have you done anything?
2984Well,he said,"who told you you could go in this car?"
2984What are you doing here?
2984What would you give for a copy?
2984Which way did he go, Youth?
2984Who is he, George?
2984Who-- who in the world is that?
2984And what the flavor can surpass Of sugar, spirit, lemons?
2984As Annie was about to kiss it he suddenly withdrew his hand and said,"And will you, a little Protestant, kiss the Pope''s ring?"
2984At one meal-- or, if you prefer, during one day-- how many men will he eat if fresh?"
2984By and by this investor, returning from Europe, dropped in and said:"Well, did anything happen?"
2984By the way, third''s a lucky number for length of days, is n''t it?
2984Can Clara and I have it all for our own?"
2984Can you conceive of a man''s getting himself into a sweat over so diminutive a provocation?
2984Clemens?"
2984Clemens?"
2984Curious, but did n''t Florence want a Cromwell?
2984Did I ever tell you the plot of it?
2984Do n''t you feel well?"
2984Do n''t you know it''s Mark Twain and that he''ll talk all night?"
2984Do n''t you know they are calling for you?"
2984Have you been secreted in the closet or lurking on the shed roof?
2984He had never had a lesson, she said; if he could only have lessons what might he not accomplish?
2984He said to himself:"Why did n''t I go now?
2984He said:"''You thought you were playing a nice joke on me, did n''t you?
2984He seemed surprised and said:"Oh, but he does n''t like that sort of thing, does he?"
2984He went in with his best,"Well, what can I do for you?"
2984He wrote, asking Howells: Will the proposed treaty protect us( and effectually) against Canadian piracy?
2984Here he paused a moment:"Mr. Clemens, will you tell me where Mr. Charles Dudley Warner lives?"
2984How can a body help it?
2984How do I account for this change of view?
2984How do you explain this?"
2984How do you run Plum Point?"
2984How many Bibles would he eat at a meal?"
2984How should he?"
2984I naturally said,"What do you mean?
2984If base music gives me wings, why should I want any other?
2984If we made this colonel a grand fellow, and gave him a wife to suit-- hey?
2984In February he addressed the Monday Evening Club on"What is Happiness?"
2984In the accompanying note he said: Say, Boss, do you want this to lighten up your old freight- train with?
2984Land sakes, Livy, what can I do?"
2984Livy screamed, then said,"Who is it?
2984Mama said,"Why do n''t you try''mind cure''?"
2984Mrs. Clemens looked at him gravely:"George,"she said,"did n''t I discharge you yesterday?"
2984Next day he asked,"Katie, did you see my pipe- cleaner?
2984Now what is it?
2984Now, young men, if any of you were in command of such a fortress, how would you proceed?''
2984On another: Have you seen any portion of the second volume?
2984One day Clemens sand to him:"Cable, why do you sit in here?
2984Rose Terry Cooke wrote: Horrid man, how did you know the way I behave in a thunderstorm?
2984Shall we think this over, or drop it as being nonsense?
2984She ran breathlessly to her aunt:"Can I have it?
2984She said,"Are you hunting for it with a club?"
2984She said,"Why, Jean, what''s the matter?
2984The inspector asks:"Now what does this elephant eat, and how much?"
2984The other letter mentioned was written to the''Christian Union'', inspired by a tale entitled,"What Ought We to Have Done?"
2984Then he asked solemnly:"And is he never serious?"
2984Then he says: Why do I offer him the play at all?
2984They shook hands; there was a pause of a moment, then Grant said, looking at him gravely:"Mr. Clemens, I am not embarrassed, are you?"
2984This is my work, and I know that I do very wrong when I feel chafed by it, but how can I be right about it?
2984Thomas Hardy said to Howells one night at dinner:"Why do n''t people understand that Mark Twain is not merely a great humorist?
2984To a woman who wrote, asking for his opinion on dogs, he said, in part: By what right has the dog come to be regarded as a"noble"animal?
2984Twain expect the public to credit this narrative to his clever brain?
2984Was hast du gesagt?"
2984What did you do with him?"
2984What do you think the General wanted to require of me?''
2984What does it mean, Susy?
2984What is the matter?"
2984What nationalities would he prefer?"
2984When we entered, and Mrs. Clemens read on Shakespeare''s grave,''Good friend, for Jesus''sake, forbear,''she started back, exclaiming,''where am I?''
2984Where did you ever see it before?"
2984Who knows?
2984Why did n''t I go with her now?"
2984Why do n''t you come here and take a foretaste of Heaven?"
2984Why should Darwin have gone to them for rest and refreshment at midnight, when spent with scientific research?
2984Why, in fine, should an English chief- justice keep Mark Twain''s books always at hand?
2984Will you return those proofs or revises to me, so that I can use the same on some future occasion?
2984You hold her, will you, till I come back?''
2984You note that position?
2984and ai n''t that a big enough majority in any town?"
2984do you realize, Mark, what a symposium it is to be?
2984presenting a theory which in later years he developed as a part of his"gospel,"and promulgated in a privately printed volume,''What is Man''?
2984where is he?
3195( How does that make you feel?
3195And did you question the propriety of it?
3195And it seemed to me that now that the fourth act is so successfully written, why not go ahead and write the 3 preceding acts?
3195And why not write Howard?
3195And why should n''t it be?
3195Are you in the new house?
3195But what I am coming at, is this: wo n''t you and Mrs. Howells come down Saturday the 22nd and remain to the Club on Monday night?
3195Ca n''t you let him fall in the canal occasionally?
3195Ca n''t you let him feed the doves?
3195Ca n''t you let him find peace and rest and fellowship under Pere Jacopo''s kindly wing?
3195Ca n''t you let his good- natured purse be a daily prey to guides and beggar- boys?
3195Can you and Hay go?
3195Can you conceive of a man''s getting himself into a sweat over so diminutive a provocation?
3195Clemens said that when he took the Jumping Frog book to Carlton, in 1867, the latter, pointing to his stock, said, rather scornfully: “ Books?
3195Could n''t you come now and mull over the alterations which you are going to make in your MS, and make them after you go back?
3195Could you?
3195Did I ever tell you the plot of it?
3195Did that break up the enterprise?
3195Did the report go, nevertheless?
3195Did you ever see the grotesquely absurd and the heart- breakingly pathetic more closely joined together?
3195Did you?
3195Do n''t you see, the book( 1800 MS pages,) may really be finished before I ever get to Switzerland?
3195Do not you believe that if Mr. Edmunds would consent to run for President, on the Independent ticket-- even at this late day-- he might be elected?
3195Drop me an immediate line about this, wo n''t you?
3195Earl of Onston-- is that it?
3195Fred Grant? ” “ Yes.
3195Good excitable, inflammable material?
3195Has n''t he had any lessons? ” No.
3195Have I got the dates and things right?
3195How does Washington promise as to that?
3195If this is so, suppose you meet Osgood and me in New Orleans early in May-- say somewhere between the 1st and 6th?
3195If you have n''t used Orion or Old Wakeman, do n''t you think you and I can get together and grind out a play with one of those fellows in it?
3195Is n''t human nature the most consummate sham and lie that was ever invented?
3195Is n''t man a creature to be ashamed of in pretty much all his aspects?
3195Livy screamed, then said, “ Who is that?
3195MY DEAR HOWELLS,--.... Who taught you to read?
3195MY DEAR HOWELLS,--I shall reach Boston on Monday the 8th, either at 4:30 p.m. or 6 p.m.( Which is best?)
3195MY DEAR HOWELLS,--When and where?
3195Maybe you think I am not happy?
3195Mrs. Clemens says, “ Maybe the Howellses could come Monday if they can not come Saturday; ask them; it is worth trying. ” Well, how''s that?
3195Now what is it?
3195Now wo n''t you put Orion in a story?
3195Our Susie is still “ Megalops. ” He gave her that name: Can you spare a photograph of your father?
3195Poor old Methusaleh, how did he manage to stand it so long?
3195Pray offer my most sincere and respectful approval to the President-- is approval the proper word?
3195Should the language be altered?--or the hyphens taken out?
3195Suppose you do n''t need him there?
3195That is-- is he your father? ” “ No, he is my husband. ” So this child was married, you see.
3195Then why do you try to get to Heaven?
3195To nominate Edmunds the 1st of November, would be soon enough, would n''t it?
3195Was it that it was too personal?
3195Was n''t it a good audience to get up an excitement before?
3195We can do that ca n''t we?
3195Weekly with my apprentice sketches?
3195What do you think?
3195What does possess strangers to write so many letters?
3195What of that?
3195What would you have done?
3195When and where shall we meet?
3195Why how could they?
3195Why should we assist our fellowman for mere love of God?
3195Will you return those proofs or revises to me, so that I can use the same on some future occasion?
3195Will you?
3195Wo n''t you please fix it the way it ought to be, altering the language as you choose, only making it bitter and contemptuous?
3195Would it mar the flow of the thing too much to insert that devil?
3195Would you and Mrs. Howells like to invite Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich?
3195do you realize, Mark, what a symposium it is to be?
3195where is he?
2985And you''ve filled that order, have you?
2985Come, do you mean to say that you do n''t know who the hero of that sketch is?
2985Great guns, what is the matter with it?
2985Promise what?
2985Shall you take your tomahawk with you?
2985The placard that says''Furnished rooms to let''? 2985 Was he always really tranquil within,"he says,"or was he only externally so-- for effect?
2985Was this rebuke studied and intentional? 2985 Well, what does he have that sign up for?"
2985What makes you think so?
2985What will it cost?
2985What will you give?
2985Why not leave them all to me?
2985Why, yes,said Tufts;"are n''t you?"
2985Why,he said,"have we met before?"
2985Why?
2985With pleasure-- where is she?
2985Wo n''t you please say something funny?
2985Yes, Mark, what is it?
2985--[Clemens himself had attempted to make a play out of his story"Is He Dead?"
2985America?
2985And could we now?
2985And do you think that you have added just the right smear of polish to the closing clause of the sentence?
2985And shall we see Susy?
2985And why should n''t I be?
2985And will Mark Twain never write such another?
2985At forty what do you do?
2985B.--Look here, are you charging storage?
2985But ca n''t I get it in anywhere?
2985But in the mean time what do you do?
2985But what is the use of remembering all these bitter details?
2985But what were you doing on the inside?
2985Clemens answered,"Mr. Rogers, do you think there is anything I could do for you that I would n''t do?"
2985Clemens looked at the egg portion and asked:"Boy, what was my order?"
2985DEAR PAMELA,--Will you take this$ 15& buy some candy or other trifle for yourself& Sam& his wife to remind you that we remember you?
2985Did n''t you know that?
2985Do n''t you realize that you ought not to intrude your help in a delicate art like that with your limitations?
2985Do n''t you see it''s Herr Mark Twain?"
2985Do they live in----""In this street?
2985Do you know any one who does know him?"
2985Do you know that shock?
2985Do you know that shock?
2985Do you see the big, plain house over there with the placard in the third floor window?
2985Do you think you know how to behave?"
2985Does he keep boarders?"
2985Dreaming of what?
2985Familiar?
2985Have n''t you read anything at all about Joan of Arc?
2985Have you developed any novelties of conduct since you left Mr. Murray''s,& have they been of a character to move the concern of your friends?
2985Have you ever been like that?
2985He said:"What will you complete the machine for?"
2985How do you reckon he accomplished that miracle?
2985How in the world did you ever come to locate there?"
2985I sha''n''t say a word against it, but she will find it a difficult& disheartening job,& meanwhile what is to become of that miraculous girl?
2985I wonder if it is?
2985If you should be passing this way to- morrow will you look in and change hats?
2985Introducing him, President Frank Lawrence said:"What name is there in literature that can be likened to his?
2985Is n''t that valuable?
2985Is there some way, honest or otherwise, by which you can get a copy of Mayo''s play,"Pudd''nhead Wilson,"for me?
2985It would be jolly good if some one should succeed in making a play out of"Is He Dead?"
2985Italy?
2985Later he wrote:"Put''Is He Dead?''
2985My business brothers?
2985Now the old Duke of Backofenhofenschwartz not the present Duke, but the last but one, he----""Does he live over the sausage- shop in the cellar?"
2985Now, do n''t you see what a world of confidence that must necessarily breed?
2985One of them said, hesitatingly:"Are you Mr. Mark Twain?"
2985Or at least why was n''t something creditable created in place of it?
2985Semi- acquaintances said,"Ah, yes, Kornerstrasse"; acquaintances said,"Dear me, do you like it?"
2985Shrunk how?
2985Since I wrote my Bible--[The"Gospel,"What is Man?]
2985That they are in London, the metropolis of the world, Post- office District, N. W.?
2985The coachman sent in for him at 9, but he said,"Oh, nonsense!--leave glories& grandeurs like these?
2985The door was ajar and he heard Mrs. Clemens say:"Youth, do n''t you think it will be a little embarrassing for him, your being in bed?"
2985To Twichell Clemens wrote: Joe, do you know the Irish gentleman& the Irish lady, the Scotch gentleman& the Scotch lady?
2985To her sister she wrote: Do you think we can live through the first going into the house in Hartford?
2985Venice?
2985Was n''t it a rattling good comedy situation?
2985Well, then, what is he to do?
2985What is biography?
2985What is it that we want in a novel?
2985What is romance?
2985What night will you come down& smoke?
2985What other humorist could have refrained from hinting, at least, the inference suggested by the obvious"Gas Works"?
2985What should we do and how should we feel if we had no bright prospects before us, and yet how many people are situated in that way?
2985What they want----""The nobility?
2985When the Duke first moved in here he----""Does he live in this street?"
2985When you get an exasperating letter what happens?
2985Where was your remedy?
2985Who is his nearest friend?"
2985Who is it?"
2985Who is it?"
2985Who might this late comer be?
2985Whose heart is broken by this murder?
2985Why was the human race created?
2985Why, Tufts, do n''t you know that the soldiers in the theater are the same old soldiers marching around and around?
2985Will anybody contend that a man can say to such masterful anger as that, Go, and be obeyed?
2985Will healing ever come, or life have value again?
2985Will that answer?
2985With a rent- roll of twelve hundred thousand marks a year?
2985Wo n''t you talk awhile?
2985Yes, he is here; and the question is not-- as it has been heretofore during a thousand ages-- What shall we do with him?
2985Yes, you know that, and confess it-- but what were you to do?
2985have you noticed that?
2985how have you written this miracle?
2985or shall I send it to the hotel?
2985the tropics?
2982Ah,said Clemens, as he mopped his face,"do you know that little devil waded all the way across?"
2982Are you Horace Bigsby''s cub?
2982But do you realize, ma''am, how tired and hungry we are? 2982 Can he do it again?"
2982Did it knock him down?
2982Did you do that?
2982Did you ever do any steering?
2982Did you follow it up? 2982 Did you pound him much-- that is, severely?"
2982Do n''t I deserve one yet?
2982Do you chew?
2982Do you drink?
2982Do you gamble?
2982Do you know the Bowen boys?
2982Do you swear?
2982Do you use terbacker?
2982Does it?
2982Hard?
2982Here, where are you heading for now?
2982Here, why did n''t you tell me we had got to land at that plantation?
2982Here,he would shout,"where are you going now?
2982How big was it, Uncle Ned?
2982How do you follow a hall at home in the dark? 2982 How far off was it?"
2982How much do you think it ought to be, Mark?
2982How on earth am I ever going to learn it, then?
2982How would you like a young man to learn the river?
2982Is n''t that a guitar over there?
2982Nobody could have done it better; and did you see how those cats got out of there? 2982 Pounded him?"
2982Sam said,''Dan, did you know, when you invited me to make that speech, that those fellows were going to give me a bogus pipe?'' 2982 Steve, what is that d-- d noise?"
2982Tell us, Mark, why are you like the Pacific Ocean?
2982Very well, I''ll try it; but, after I have learned it, can I depend on it? 2982 Well,"he sand,"why am I like the Pacific Ocean?"
2982What are you reading, Sam?
2982What did you do?
2982What do you charge?
2982What in nation are you steerin''at, anyway? 2982 What is your name?"
2982What makes you pull your words that way?
2982What will you have, Sam?
2982What with?
2982What''s the matter, Sam? 2982 Who did that?"
2982Why did n''t you mention it before? 2982 Why do n''t you get up and light it yourself?"
2982Why, Sammy, what in the world has happened?
2982Yes, sir, it is; what of it?
298223--and a lawyer?
2982A gentleman standing on the pavement said to my wife,"Miss, do you go by this stage?"
2982A tall, bony woman came to the door:"You''re secesh, ai n''t you?"
2982And what is a man without energy?
2982At first he looked at the culprit thoughtfully, then he made some inquiries:"Did you strike him first?"
2982Can not the''Californian''afford to keep Mark all to itself?
2982Did you do anything further?"
2982Do n''t you hear me?
2982Do n''t you know that I have expended money in this country but have made none myself?
2982Do n''t you know that I have never held in my hands a gold or silver bar that belonged to me?
2982Do n''t you know that I have only talked, as yet, but proved nothing?
2982Do n''t you know that it''s all talk and no cider so far?
2982Do n''t you know that undemonstrated human calculations wo n''t do to bet on?
2982Do you hear?"
2982Give him a good sound thrashing; do you hear?
2982Have I got to learn the shape of the river according to all these five hundred thousand different ways?
2982Have n''t you got a bite for us to eat?"
2982He opened on me after this fashion:"How much water did we have in the middle crossing at Hole- in- The- Wall, trip before last?"
2982His chief was a constant menace at such moments: One day he turned on me suddenly with this settler:"What is the shape of Walnut Bend?"
2982His mother said:"What''s the matter, Sammy; are you sick?"
2982How could he, with a fortune so plainly in view?
2982How did you ever think of it?"
2982How do you reckon I can remember such a mess as that?"
2982I gave her a conundrum, thus:"My dear madam, why ought your hand to retain its present grace and beauty always?
2982If they want letters from here-- who''ll run from morning till night collecting material cheaper?
2982It always snows here, I expect"; and the final heart- sick line,"Do n''t you suppose they have pretty much quit writing at home?"
2982It may have materialized out of the unseen-- who knows?
2982Klinefelter turned to Sam:"Did n''t you hear him?"
2982L. C.''Which was?
2982Maguire, why Will you thus skyugle?
2982Now is n''t she the devil?
2982One day, soon after, he said to me:"''Steve, do you know that I think that that bogus pipe smokes about as well as the good one?''"
2982Sam said:"What''s that, Steve?"
2982Sam;"he said,"what do they mean by that?"
2982That is to say, is n''t she a right smart little woman?
2982The company rose, drank the toast in serious silence; then Goodman said:"Of course, Artemus, it''s all right, but why did you give us Upper Canada?"
2982W- h- a- r- r''s my g- o- l- den arm?"
2982W- h- a- r- r''s my golden arm?
2982What a child he always was-- always, to the very end?
2982What are you going to do?"
2982What did it matter to him?
2982What name do you want to use''Josh''?"
2982What noise?
2982What the devil does a man want with any more feet when he owns in the invincible bomb- proof"Monitor"?
2982What was the greatest feature in Napoleon''s character?
2982When the children came for eggs he would say:"Your hens wo n''t lay, eh?
2982Where is it Orion''s going to?
2982Why curse and swear, And rip and tear The innocent McDougal?
2982Will it keep the same form, and not go fooling around?"
2982Wo n''t you please stop it?
2982You could n''t possibly teach music with a company of raw recruits drilling overhead-- now, could you?
2982You think that picture looks old?
2982You will continue upon the water for some time yet; you will not retire finally until ten years from now.... What is your brother''s age?
2982and in pursuit of an office?
2982he asked--"pilots in the St. Louis and New Orleans trade?"
2982he said, triumphantly;"you know dose vord?"
19987Afraid I would n''t live?
19987And the next greatest?
19987Are you going down to see what it is he wants now?
19987Are you going down to see?
19987But where do you place yourself, then?
19987Did n''t you fall overboard?
19987How do you mean?
19987How many?
19987I? 19987 If you forgot the watch, mamma, would that be a little thing?"
19987Is he? 19987 Mamma, what is it all for?"
19987Mamma, what is''_ little_ things''?
19987The fourth what?
19987Then why did you sell him?
19987Very well, then you''ve told it, we''ll say, seventy or eighty times since it happened?
19987Was it a burglar, do you think?
19987Was n''t there a new patent machine aboard, and did n''t they throw it over to save you?
19987Wellmamma said"what now, I wonder?"
19987Well, what of it? 19987 What man?"
19987What shall we do then then?
19987Who were the others?
19987Why?
19987Ai n''t it best to say nothing, and let on that we did n''t think?"
19987Ai n''t that the one that bilked the house, last week, out of ten cents?"
19987Anything peculiar about it?"
19987Apparently you have not heard of him?"
19987Are you a professional buccaneer?
19987Are you always cheerful?
19987Are_ you_?
19987As Susy said,"What is it all for?"
19987At last X''s friend remarked,"X, does it occur to you that we are_ outside the diocese_?"
19987Carleton rose and said brusquely and aggressively,"Well, what can I do for you?"
19987Could the fault have been with me?
19987Did I forget that I was a Lambton?
19987Did I lose courage when I saw those great men up there whom I was going to describe in such a strange fashion?
19987Did n''t that attract any attention?"
19987Did you suppose it was a Sunday- school superintendent?"
19987Do I want any more?
19987Do n''t you like Uncle Theodore Crane?"
19987Do you remember Charles the First?--and his broad slouch with the plume in it?
19987Dr. Burton swung his leonine head around, focussed me with his eye, and said:"When was it that this happened?"
19987Finally, in the summing up, the mother named over the list and asked:"Which one do you think it ought to be, Susy?"
19987For instance, if the magician asked,"What do you see?"
19987Have you told it several times since?"
19987He brought the cup to me and asked impressively,"Mr. Clemens, how far is it from the front door to the upper gate?"
19987He did n''t what?"
19987He had inquired of the shopman--"Who is this Davis?"
19987He mused a moment or two and then said,"I wonder we did n''t meet in Washington in 1867; you were there at that time, were n''t you?"
19987He paused, glanced up at me and said, with his eyes,"Are you friendly?"
19987He said,"Three dollars?
19987He said,"Were n''t you a midshipman once, sir, in the old''Lancaster''?"
19987He said:"Mr. Clemens, what are we going to do?
19987He said:"Who did that?"
19987He seemed very much surprised, and said,"Take him again?
19987Her mother asked:"Is she crying hard?"
19987Her mother was surprised, and also disappointed, and said:"Why, Susy, does n''t it please you?
19987His face was sad, before, and troubled; but it lit up gladly now, and he answered,"Yes-- have you seen him?"
19987How do you come to know about it?"
19987How do you explain it?
19987How do you explain this kind of conduct?"
19987How do you justify it?"
19987How far off was that bird?"
19987How is the size of calamities measured?
19987How many can you run with an outlay like that?"
19987How many caroms do you think you can make out of that layout?"
19987How many times a year do you think you have told it?"
19987How much of this tale of yours is embroidery?"
19987How often can he do that?"
19987I asked my mother about this, in her old age-- she was in her 88th year-- and said:"I suppose that during all that time you were uneasy about me?"
19987I asked,"How did you know, you little rascals?"
19987I have to have him back again because the man wants him; do n''t you see that I have n''t any choice in the matter?
19987I was waiting for her to ask"Who did that?"
19987I wonder how he felt?
19987If their superiors had carved each other well, the public would have asked, Where were the police?
19987Is it?''
19987Is n''t it fine?"
19987It is plain that the author of the second one stole the first one, is n''t it?"
19987It is too late to telephone-- we could n''t get any cigars out from town-- what can we do?
19987Mrs. Clemens opened the debate:"What was it?"
19987My wife said,"What do you suppose he is after now?"
19987Now what do you reckon it was?
19987Only three dollars?
19987Really always cheerful?"
19987She said, a little restively,"Well, what is the use of a burglar- alarm for us?"
19987She said,"You wore it in church with that red Scotch plaid outside and glaring?
19987She said:"He did n''t?
19987She was awed and impressed, and said:"Wild ones, mamma?"
19987She would say,"Now, Marse Steve, Marse Steve, ca n''t you behave yourself?"
19987Stevenson had begun the matter with this question:"Can you name the American author whose fame and acceptance stretch widest in the States?"
19987Susy studied, shrank from her duty, and asked:"Which do you think, mamma?"
19987That question was,"With whom originated the idea of the march to the sea?
19987That was the old man''s chance, and he said with fervency"Why good land, are n''t you going to stop to breakfast?"
19987The General said,"What do you ask for him?"
19987The crux of the matter is that you did n''t own the dog-- can''t you see that?
19987The truth is they will know that I acted innocently, because they are rational people; but what of that?
19987Then he came back, and said,"What is the prize for the ten- strike?"
19987There must be some way to tell the great ones from the small ones; what is the law of these proportions?
19987There was a moment''s silence, then Sandy spoke up with excited interest and said--"Marse Sam, has you ever seen a smoked herring?"
19987There-- don''t you see something?
19987This look was usually followed with"Clara"or"Susy what do you mean by this?
19987Was it Grant''s, or was it Sherman''s idea?"
19987Were you of our crew?"
19987What could have been the matter with that house?
19987What do you suppose he wants?"
19987What is ambition?
19987What is that?"
19987What is the bill?"
19987What is the rule?
19987What is the special peculiarity of smoked herrings?"
19987What is your name?"
19987What should he cable in reply?
19987What, are you going?
19987When I was seven or eight, or ten, or twelve years old-- along there-- a neighbor said to her,"Do you ever believe anything that that boy says?"
19987When people asked me,"How_ can_ you tell what he is willing you to do?"
19987When the article"What ought he to have done?"
19987Where now is Billy Rice?
19987Who is it that didn''t?--and what is it that he did n''t?"
19987Who was the other girl?"
19987Who''s doubting it?"
19987Why is it that I have intruded into this turmoil and manifested a desire to get our orthography purged of its asininities?
19987Why, how could I talk when he was talking?
19987Why?
19987Why?"
19987Wo n''t you please sign your name?"
19987Wo n''t you take me out of my distress and sign your name to it?
19987You understand?
19987[ 19] Can this be correct?
19987_ Was hast du gesagt?_"But she said the same words over again, and in the same decided way.

2986What''s it all mean, anyway?
2986Why in nation did you offer him your cue?
2986A critic with a sense of humor asked:"Please excuse seeming impertinence, but were you ever adjudged insane?

2986Has he heroes& heroines whom the reader admires-- admires and knows why?

2986He asked:"Have you heard the news about San Francisco?"
2986He did not suspect what had happened until he heard one of the daughters ask:"Katie, is it true?
2986He probably referred to the Monday Evening Club essay,"What Is Happiness?"
2986He said:"Is it your idea, then, that man is perfectly adapted to the conditions of this planet?"
2986He wished to receive the full value( who does not?)
2986Helen Keller wrote: And you are seventy years old?

2987How can you ask such a thing of me?
2987How does a soul like that stay in a carcass without getting mixed with the secretions and sweated out through the pores?
2987Howells, did you write me day- before- day- before yesterday or did I dream it?
2987I bent down over her and patted her cheek and said:"I do n''t seem to remember your name; what is it?"
2987I noticed that Jean was listening anxiously, and when I finished she said:"Is that a true story?"
2987I said,"How do you account for the changed attitude toward these things?
2987I said,''Jean, is this you trying to let me know you have found the others?''
2987I suppose I ought to defend my character, but how can I defend it?
2987I was ashamed again, and confessed it; then:"How old are you, dear?"

2987MR. MARK TWAIN-- DEAR SIR,--Will you start now, without any unnecessary delay?
2987Mark Twain''s own book on the subject--''Is Shakespeare Dead?''
2987Must he prove that he is sound in any way, mind or body?
2987Must he prove that he knows anything-- is capable of anything-- whatever?
2987Not much of it all is left to me, but I remember Howells saying,"Did it ever occur to you that the newspapers abolished hell?
2987Now you all know all these things yourself, do n''t you?
2987Now, therefore, why should I withhold it?
2987OR HELL?
2987Of course you can save money by denying yourself all these vicious little enjoyments for fifty years; but then what can you do with it?
2987Once, half roused, he looked at me searchingly and asked:"Is n''t there something I can resign and be out of all this?
2987One day she said:"Mama, why is there so much pain and sorrow and suffering?

2987The sensational head- lines in a morning paper,"Is Mark Twain a Plagiarist?"
2987There was such a mingling of yells and calls and questions, such as,"Have you brought the jumping Frog with you?"
2987They give us pain, they make our lives miserable, they murder us-- and where is the use of it all, where the wisdom?
2987To Howells, on the same day, he wrote: Wo n''t you& Mrs. Howells& Mildred come& give us as many days as you can spare& examine John''s triumph?
2987Toward the evening of the first day, when it grew dark outside, he asked:"How long have we been on this voyage?"
2987U. E. WAS IT HEAVEN?
2987U. E. WHY NOT ABOLISH IT?

2987Was that right?"
2987Well, is it?
2987Well, suppose you combine them again, but in a new way: make the proportions equal-- one part oxygen to one of hydrogen?"

2987When he had read a number of these he said:"Well, why does He do it then?
2987Where was ever a sermon preached that could make filial ingratitude so hateful to men as the sinful play of"King Lear"?

2988I said,''Jean, is this you trying to let me know you have found the others?''
2988I sha''n''t say a word against it, but she will find it a difficult& disheartening job,& meanwhile what is to become of that miraculous girl?
2988I suppose I ought to defend my character, but how can I defend it?
2988I want somebody to light my pipe. ” “ Why do n''t you get up and light it yourself? ” Brownell asked.
2988I was greatly pleased and asked: “ Who gets the extra one? ” “ Widows and orphans. ” “ A good idea, too.
2988I was naturally astonished, and immediately wrote: I did fall and skin my shin at five o''clock yesterday afternoon, but how did you find it out?
