2527Wilhelm, what is the world to our hearts without love?
2527Will you dare call this enthusiasm, ye crowd of pompous declaimers?
2527Yes, Charlotte, why should I not avow it?
2527and even still-- But what object is there, Charlotte, which fails to summon up your image before me?
2527and have I not, like a child, treasured up every trifle which you have consecrated by your touch?
2527and is it not strange, my friend, that we should suffer the little that does really ripen, to rot, decay, and perish unenjoyed?
2527and is this the destiny of man?
2527and then might not rapture perchance be the portion of this liberated soul?

2527or at the young maiden, who, in her weak hour of rapture, forgets herself in the impetuous joys of love?
2527or for his unwillingness to share his rich prize with another, even for a moment, and in the most innocent manner?

2527where are you?
2527whither is my Salgar gone?
2527who can do justice to her language?
2527who can express my sensations?
2527why complainest thou, as a blast in the wood as a wave on the lonely shore?
2527why did he not wait till his strength was restored, till his blood became calm?
2527why didst thou not see thy apotheosis in those eyes?
2527why hast thou forsaken me?"
2527why is it that the torrent of genius so seldom bursts forth, so seldom rolls in full- flowing stream, overwhelming your astounded soul?
2527why tormentest thou me with fear?
2527why were they so fortunate?
2527why were you born with that excessive, that ungovernable passion for everything that is dear to you?"
2527with all thy voice of music?
27537A little curaçao, eh?
27537All your dolls, who had the names of queens and marchionesses-- what has become of them?
27537Alone?
27537And are you sure of this?
27537And her husband?
27537And the young lady,said the tutor,"is charming, I''m sure?"
27537And the_ Don Quixote_ of which we coloured the engravings together?
27537And then, perhaps, they''ll give you a good place?
27537And what about your chum Sénécal?
27537And why not? 27537 And yet, suppose I happen to be killed?
27537And your children?
27537And your pug Moricaud?
27537Andalusians, I suppose? 27537 Are you not going to come in?"
27537Are you perfectly certain?
27537Are you perfectly sure? 27537 As far as I could understand, he was sued by one Mignot, an intimate friend of Regimbart-- a long- headed fellow that, eh?
27537As we happened to have been talking just now about coal- mines,the advocate went on,"what has become of his big company?
27537Aye, who''ll pay the amount?
27537Beloved by whom?
27537Besides, could you find anything more charming than these little toads? 27537 But is there anyone in the room?"
27537But perhaps there is something you want?
27537But what is it that''s not prohibited?
27537But why is it that you do n''t want to make them pay up? 27537 But why not?"
27537Can it be that this is the lady of the races?
27537Can it be that you are-- perhaps----?
27537Can you swear to having seen him at the Panthéon?
27537Christianity is the keystone and the foundation of the new edifice----"You are making game of us?
27537Could you believe it possible that I no longer loved you?
27537Did you notice his face when a question was asked about the portrait? 27537 Did you really?"
27537Do I associate with the Jesuits?

27537Do you know anything, Mademoiselle?
27537Do you know her?
27537Do you know him?
27537Do you know how to make passes?
27537Do you know,Sénécal went on,"what they have discovered at the Duchesse de Praslin''s house----?"
27537Do you think so?
27537Do you wish me to interest myself on your behalf?
27537Eh? 27537 Eh?
27537Eh? 27537 For what purpose?"
27537For what, pray?
27537For, in fact, what is it they want? 27537 Have I any reason to be afraid?"
27537Have I any to give you?
27537Have you done all that''s necessary in the matter?
27537How could such a thing ever come to pass?
27537How do you know that?
27537How have I insulted them?
27537How is it that he has come back again? 27537 How is that?
27537How is that? 27537 How is that?"
27537How is that?
27537How now? 27537 How?"
27537How?
27537I have arrived too late? 27537 I thought he was your friend, monsieur?"
27537I? 27537 I?
27537I?
27537In any case,Sénécal went on,"do you know a patriot who will answer to us for your principles?"
27537In that case, why did she take on with me?
27537In what way can I be of service to you now?
27537Is Arnoux there?
27537Is he still living?
27537Is it credible, I ask you? 27537 Is it not-- eh?"
27537Is it to buy a carriage?
27537Is she still interested in a fellow named Arnoux?
27537Is that my fault? 27537 Is that so?"
27537Is that true?
27537Is this really all you owe her?
27537Is this young man trustworthy and intelligent?
27537It seems to me I knew that woman?
27537It was worth the trouble, was n''t it? 27537 Let me know his name?
27537Look here-- why?
27537Mine? 27537 My God, who can it be that has changed him?"
27537Nevertheless, was not the will the main element in every enterprise? 27537 Now that I think of it, are we speaking of Dussardier?"
27537Of whom, pray, are you talking?
27537Perhaps it is somewhere else?
27537Perhaps you are going to defend them?
27537Pray, where are you dining?
27537Probably not by yourself?
27537Really?
27537Really?
27537Rosanette was with you?
27537She is better-- isn''t that so?
27537So you do n''t want to have me?
27537Still-- even now?
27537Suppose we go upstairs?
27537Suppose we try the taste of it? 27537 Suppose you happen to be killed?"
27537Then there''s no danger?
27537These caricatures of Cham are very funny, are they not?
27537Though, indeed, such things must be, after all? 27537 To what do I owe the honour-- of a visit-- so unexpected?"
27537To what?
27537Tuesday?

27537What do you mean?
27537What does it signify to you? 27537 What does it signify, when it is to one who sympathises with you that you offer it?
27537What does that signify to me?
27537What does''us''mean?
27537What for?
27537What has become of that interesting gentleman?
27537What has happened, might I ask?
27537What idea have you got into your head about me?
27537What is the matter? 27537 What is there for me to do in the world?

27537What woman?
27537What''s the matter with you now, my own darling?
27537What''s the matter with you? 27537 What''s the matter?"
27537What, then, are you doing?
27537What? 27537 What?"
27537What?
27537When the country could provide men like Delacroix or Hugo with incomes of a hundred thousand francs, where would be the harm?
27537Where are we going?
27537Where are you going now?
27537Where is her name?
27537Where, might I ask?
27537Where, then, would you like me to put them?
27537Who has given me such a priest''s cap?
27537Who knows? 27537 Who knows?"
27537Who told you that?
27537Who? 27537 Who?"
27537Whom do you mean?
27537Why did she not come to see her father?
27537Why did you do that?
27537Why do you ask?
27537Why do you call it mine?
27537Why is this? 27537 Why not?
27537Why not?
27537Why should I think of you?
27537Why so?
27537Why?
27537Why?
27537Why?
27537Will you come with me yourself there, then?
27537With good reason, too-- is that not so?
27537Would you believe it? 27537 Would you believe that this brute has no interest in the thing any longer?"
27537You are not going, I''m sure, to leave me by myself?
27537You do n''t say so?
27537You have not been to Nogent, then?
27537You love nobody but me alone?
27537You mean to tell me that?
27537You see him often, then?
27537You seem to me very dispassionate about politics?
27537You will not acknowledge it?
27537You''d like to follow it-- wouldn''t you?
27537You''ll accompany me-- won''t you?
27537You''re going out shopping?
27537Your bed? 27537 Your hour?"
27537( See page 107)_ Frontispiece_"CAN I LIVE WITHOUT YOU?"
27537A letter from his mother was awaiting him when he reached his abode:"Why such a long absence?
27537After a long interval of silence, Frederick went on to ask:"So, then, he has changed his address?"
27537After a minute''s silence he added:"We ought to''thee''and''thou''each other, as we used to do long ago-- shall we do so?"
27537And M. Dambreuse, addressing Frederick, said to him in a low whisper:"You have not called about that business of ours?"
27537And Madame Dambreuse:"You''ll call again soon, will you not?"
27537And a horrible doubt seized hold of his mind:"Suppose she was not coming at all, and merely gave me a promise in order to get rid of me?
27537And after that-- to what would she be compelled to turn?
27537And as he took a seat:"How is the worthy Arnoux going on?"
27537And as the other was gazing at him in astonishment:"Is n''t your mistress''s furniture to be sold in three days''time?"
27537And from time to time he uttered a groan; then:"But is a man bound to fight a duel?"
27537And then, what concern is he of yours any longer?
27537And turning towards Frederick:"So here you are-- you?"
27537And yet, where would be the harm in two wretched beings mingling their griefs?
27537And yourself-- what about the woman you were so passionately attached to, Madame Arnoux?"
27537And, as they were passing in front of a large cart- shed containing some faggots:"Suppose we sat down there,_ under shelter_?"
27537And, as they were swallowing the first spoonful:"Well, my dear old friend Aulnays, have you been to the Palais- Royal to see_ Père et Portier_?"
27537And, exhuming their youth with every sentence, they said to each other:"Do you remember?"
27537Are you going to deny this?"
27537Are you there?"
27537As for Lamartine, how can you expect a poet to understand politics?
27537As for M. Dambreuse''s office, a disagreeable spot, what use could he make of it?
27537As for their intelligence, what was the use of that precious trades''union of theirs which they established under the Restoration?
27537As he made the latter remark, M. Roque asked:"Are you not yourself the painter of a very notable picture?"
27537As they were passing a church, he said:"Suppose we go in for a little while-- to look?"
27537At last he said with a smile:"Have you any doubt about it?"
27537Besides, what was the cause of this good nature, so contrary to his usual conduct?
27537But about Arnoux?"
27537But he replied, in a lively fashion:"Would you like me to wait at the corner of the Rue Tronchet and the Rue de la Ferme?"
27537But how could he get into a passion with her?
27537But she went on gently, and with one of those looks which seem to appeal for a denial of the truth:"Are you perfectly certain?"
27537But the other, in a tragic tone:"Ought not the Government to make an ordinance abolishing prostitution and want?"
27537But what can be done with a fancy article of that sort?"
27537But what road ought he to take so that they might not pass each other?
27537But why was there such coldness in her manner towards her niece?
27537But why?
27537Can it be, furthermore, that all is over?
27537Deslauriers saw what Frederick meant, and passed his two hands over his head; then, all of a sudden:"But what about yourself?
27537Did I not think of it alone?
27537Did he want a grant for fifty years or forever?
27537Did she not, as it were, constitute the very substance of his heart, the very basis of his life?
27537Do you agree?"
27537Do you not feel the aspiration of my soul ascending towards yours, and that they must intermingle, and that I am dying on your account?"
27537Do you not realise what it means?"
27537Do you remember what a beautiful thing it was?
27537Do you remember?"
27537Does it mean that I love him?"
27537Frederick got into a rage with him for this, and when the young man''s anger had passed off:"Well, afterwards----what?"
27537Frederick, who was at the moment thinking of the Maréchale, stammered:"Where, pray?"
27537Had she a lover?
27537Had the Vatnaz, then, broken off with Delmar?
27537Had the painter and the journalist prepared their attack on him at the same time?
27537Have I killed you?"
27537Have you any doubt about it, eh?"
27537Have you any objection?"
27537He called at her house; and in an unblushing fashion:"Have you twelve thousand francs to lend me?"
27537He contented himself with saying to her in reply:"What does this signify to you?"
27537He could not resist the sentiment of gallantry which was aroused in him by her fresh youthfulness, and he replied:"Why should I tell you a lie?
27537He quitted the young man with these words:"You''ll come soon, will you not?
27537He said in reply to her last words:"Have you considered this matter?"
27537He stamped with his foot, got animated, and pretended to be encountering difficulties, while he exclaimed:"Are you there?
27537He went on in a tone of mild affectation:"You have already found your affairs a little embarrassing?"
27537He went on, in a mild tone, which mitigated the impertinence of his question:"Have you thought of me now and then?"
27537His name?
27537How is that?"
27537How many journeys had he not made to various places?
27537How many reports had he not heard read?
27537How many rows of figures had he not piled together?
27537How many speculations had he not hatched?
27537How was it that Frederick did not ask for a little love from her in return?
27537How was it that the capitalist had put his signature to such a lucubration?
27537How was it, then, that she had resisted him so long?
27537How was this?
27537However, what was the use of it?
27537I am afraid?"
27537I an aristocrat?
27537I ask, citizen, is this fair?
27537I may count on this?"
27537I?"
27537In the expressions of which she habitually made use a candid egoism manifested itself:"What concern is that of mine?
27537Is it not the fact that, since the morning when 1848 dawned, the various trade- bodies had not reappeared with their banners?
27537Is it possible?"
27537Is n''t it atrocious to see him keeping beggars?"
27537Is n''t that so, Cisy?"
27537Is nobody advancing on this bid?
27537Is she as pretty as ever?"
27537Is that clear?
27537Is that it?
27537Is that our Sénécal?"
27537Is that the thing?"
27537Is there any bidder at nine hundred and thirty?"
27537Is there anything to prevent you from doing it?
27537Is this possible?"
27537It is over, messieurs, is it not?
27537Let us dine together this evening, will you?"
27537Louise came and sat beside her; then, yielding to the desire to give vent to her emotions:"Does he not talk well-- Frederick Moreau, I mean?"
27537Madame Arnoux cast at her a sidelong glance, which meant:"I suppose you are not in love with him?"
27537Martinon repeated several times in a very loud tone:"What?
27537Monsieur has not succeeded, it would seem?
27537Never went a- by- by with his wife?"
27537On his return to Paris----"Why did you not call here, then, to see me?"
27537One man said:"Where are we going?"
27537One of your friends, eh?"
27537Perhaps I am offending you?
27537Perhaps Progress can be realised only through an aristocracy or through a single man?
27537Perhaps it was Martinon?
27537Regimbart said to Frederick, who was walking between him and Dussardier:"Well, and this scare-- what do we care about it?
27537Regimbart, being Mignot''s intimate friend, could perhaps enlighten him?
27537Rosanette listened to this narrative attentively, then, turning towards Frederick:"No doubt it was through jealousy?
27537Rosanette, who felt herself stifling, went away; and presently Pellerin said:"Well, about Arnoux; you know what has happened?"
27537She burst into sobs, and hiding her face in his breast:"Can I live without you?"
27537She repeated in a louder tone:"Will you marry me?"
27537She replied with a shake of her head:"And you take advantage of it to amuse yourself?"
27537She said to him, in an unctuous tone, while she drew forth from her purse three square slips of paper:"You will take these from me?"
27537She seized a candlestick, and pointing at her face:"Do n''t you recognise the fact there?"
27537She shivered with sensuously enticing movements; but a voice exclaimed:"Where are you?"
27537Since vengeance was offered to him, why should he not snatch at it?
27537So, then, she was in love with the mummer?
27537So, then, they were reconciled?
27537Suddenly, Rosanette said in an appealing tone:"We''ll preserve the body-- shall we not?"
27537Suppose we tried to rescue him, eh?
27537Tell me-- what''s the matter with you?"
27537That''s charming, eh?"
27537The Baron went on:"What has become of her, this fine Rose?
27537The entire article concluded with this phrase, pregnant perhaps with sinister meaning:"What is the cause of their affection?
27537The guests stared at him, and Louise, more astonished than the rest, murmured:"What is it, pray?"
27537The next moment, as her eyes fell on a door close to the pillar of the alcove:"That''s the way you let your friends out, eh?"
27537The right thing to do, was n''t it?"
27537The set will be ready-- will it not?
27537The type of the sublime( Raphael has proved it by his Madonnas) is probably a mother with her child?"
27537Their parting was an affectionate one; then, on the threshold, she murmured once more:"You love me-- do you not?"
27537Then some one said from behind the door:"Is Madame there?"
27537Then there were endless complaints about Providence:"Why was it not the will of Heaven?
27537Then, abruptly:"You were at the races on Sunday?"
27537Then, five minutes afterwards:"Who knows, after all?
27537Then, who could tell but that, by some chance or other, she might be at the place of meeting before him?
27537They were walking side by side and Frederick said:"You remember when I brought you into the country?"
27537This is a nice joke, is n''t it?"
27537This seemed strange to Frederick; and what was his friend doing down there?
27537This was a piece of refinement that filled her with amazement, and, with a gush of emotion, she said to him:"Will you come with us to the sea- baths?"
27537To what lover did she owe her education?
27537Was he not her real husband?
27537Was it a visitor?
27537Was it not a piece of folly, he returned, to take everything seriously?
27537Was it the diplomatist or some other?
27537Was it this threat on the part of the Vatnaz that had caused so much agitation in her mind?
27537Was not this one of those consoling phrases which were customary with medical men?
27537Was there no one?
27537Was this a conspiracy?
27537What are you doing?"
27537What are you to do?"
27537What did he mean?
27537What did it matter, however?
27537What do I care about them, indeed?
27537What do you want to go there for?"
27537What does the fencing- school teach?
27537What does this signify?
27537What expiation could she offer hereafter if she were to persevere in this love- affair?
27537What fine weather we are getting, are we not?"
27537What had kept her in?
27537What had occurred in her life down to the day when he first came to her house?
27537What is it?"
27537What is style?
27537What is the object of it?"
27537What need have I?"
27537What object, pray, could I have for taking such a step?
27537What self- denial?
27537What was he to do?
27537What was the cause of this rancour?
27537What was the good of making an enemy for himself?
27537What was the occasion of this politeness?
27537What was the reason of this?
27537What was this?
27537What weapons are you going to take?
27537What were the means by which she had gradually emerged from wretchedness?
27537What would you have?"
27537What''s the good of it?"
27537What, then, was troubling her?
27537What?
27537What?"
27537What?"
27537Where are you going?
27537Where do you expect him to find twelve thousand francs?"
27537Where in the world was he going?
27537Where is she, pray?"
27537Where is the sense of this sort of thing?"
27537Where is the use in being young?
27537Where was he to get the money?
27537Where was it that he had known them?
27537Where''s the harm?"
27537While she gazed at him her heart softened, a nervous reaction brought tears into her eyes, and she murmured:"Will you marry me?"
27537Who compels her to keep me?
27537Who had brought it there?
27537Who knows?
27537Who knows?"
27537Who paid for the furniture?"
27537Who''ll pay the amount?"
27537Who, then, had tempted him to such a breach of trust?
27537Why do you go to amuse yourself with virtuous women?"
27537Why do you set your heart on ruining her?"
27537Why had he lent the money?
27537Why not obey the impulse that urges us onward?"
27537Why not, later?"
27537Why not?
27537Why should you not?"
27537Why would you not be a deputy?"
27537Why?
27537Why?"
27537Why?"
27537Without attributing to her any passionate regret, he thought she looked a little sad; and, in a mournful voice, he said:"You are enduring pain?"
27537Without giving her time to reflect, he added:"Next Tuesday, I suppose?"
27537Would Arnoux be seized with mistrust with regard to them?
27537Would she have to become a school- mistress or a lady''s companion, or perhaps a chambermaid?
27537Would you be surprised to hear that for thirty years I used to get up at four o''clock every morning?
27537You are grieving, too?"
27537You are playing the spy on me?"
27537You have n''t anyone now but your Catau, do n''t you see?"
27537You know him, do n''t you?"
27537You understand?
27537You''ve been told that she was rich, have n''t you?
27537[ Illustration][ Illustration: Can I live without you?]
27537[ L] Do you know what that is?"
27537and he looked at the dead man more closely in order to strengthen his mind, mentally addressing him thus:"Well, what?
27537and what number of carriages would he require?
27537and, as Bazile says, who the deuce is it that is deceived here?"
27537and, if so, who was her lover?
27537are they not going to fight?"
27537as castanets?"
27537do you know how much he failed for?
27537do you see?
27537do you understand?"
27537does n''t it strike you that at this rate you wo n''t be a very considerate husband?"
27537family portraits, no doubt?"
27537for him?"
27537have you thought about me?"
27537he exclaimed;"for what''s the cause of this display of fury?"
27537is it the sword?"
27537it''s not Regimbart that''s in question, is it?"
27537leave me, I beg of you?"
27537no!----""If I had only a proof!----""What proof?"
27537so he is transported, this good Sénécal?"
27537so you are visiting here?"
27537to poke my nose in a squabble of that sort?
27537was it possible?
27537well, what of that?
27537what am I do?"
27537what are you doing?"
27537what did she care, indeed, about that one?
27537what do I care about a thing being life- like?
27537what do I care about money?
27537what do I care about that?
27537what''s his name?"
27537where are you?
27537with his wife?"
34828A rascal?
34828About how much should it amount to?
34828Am I going to get entangled with women?
34828And Madame?
34828And did you take his wife by the waist between the two doors,_ sicut decet_?
34828And for whom?
34828And so you are back again in the old spot? 34828 And this one,"went on Frederick, in a low tone,"will it be the same way with it?"
34828And we''ll understand each other still better, shall we not?
34828And what are we to do, then?
34828And what are you going to do there?
34828And what do you propose that I should do in that way?
34828And what next?
34828And who is that dressed like a bailiff talking in the recess of the window to a Marquise de Pompadour?
34828And why are they paid? 34828 And why?"
34828And you, Monsieur,said she,"do n''t you dance?"
34828And your bouquet?
34828Are the newspapers free? 34828 Are these all for you?"
34828Are they playing on me? 34828 Are you coming to take it?"
34828Are you quite well?
34828Are you ready, my dear?
34828As for me, I ca n''t go up; but you, surely there is nothing to prevent you?
34828Astonish me? 34828 At Jacques Arnoux''s establishment?"
34828At his house?
34828At the Dambreuses''? 34828 But I was under the impression,"she said,"that M. Dambreuse was going to get you into the Council of State?
34828But could I do so?
34828But have you any bills or promissory notes?
34828But if Madame Arnoux were to know about it? 34828 But your family?"
34828But, at all events, tell me the news? 34828 But,"he said in faltering tones,"what does this prove?"
34828But-- what about the journal?
34828Can it be possible you do n''t know what it is to have a mistress?
34828Could n''t you ask some of the persons that owe you money to make you an advance?
34828Do n''t you recognise us?
34828Do you believe in that?
34828Do you know him?
34828Do you know what you ought to do, my fine fellow?
34828Do you occasionally see our friend Martinon?
34828Do you really think so?
34828Do you remember a certain bouquet of roses one evening, in a carriage?
34828Do you wish to send any message to anyone?
34828Does Monsieur require anything?
34828For what purpose?
34828From doing what?
34828Has she received you?
34828Have you any doubt about it?
34828Have you anything to smoke?
34828He came to- day, did n''t he?
34828His earthenware- works are going on very well, are they not?
34828How could I remember what sort of man the clerk was?
34828How do you know her?
34828How do you know that?
34828How do you know?
34828How do you think I can live over there without you?
34828How is that, when her name is Marie?
34828How is that? 34828 How is that?"
34828How much have you got still?
34828However, I understand one has certain wants-- aristocratic wants; for, no doubt, some woman----"Well, even if that were so? 34828 I give you pain?"
34828I thought----"What did you think?
34828I?
34828Is Madame coming home to dinner?
34828Is it my fault if there is a Madame Arnoux in the same street?
34828Is it on account of him?
34828Is she going to speak to me?
34828Is that really so?
34828Mamma, are you coming to dinner?
34828Me? 34828 Might I carry these away with me?"
34828Monsieur Roque?
34828One evening, returning from Saint- Cloud?
34828Ought he to get rid of them by asphyxia, as some English doctor, whose name I do n''t remember-- a disciple of Malthus-- advises him?
34828Perhaps these things are tiresome to you?
34828Shall we go?
34828Shall you go?
34828So I can say to Jacques Arnoux----?
34828So happiness is impossible?
34828So much the worse for you, then; you have no right----"What?
34828So then, he has done you some great injury, Monsieur?
34828So then, you know him?
34828So, then, you did not recognise him?
34828Suppose I applied to M. Dambreuse? 34828 Suppose I went back again?"
34828Suppose I went to see the others?
34828Suppose I were to put on her,he thought,"a pink silk dress with an Oriental bournous?
34828Suppose we eat a turban of rabbits_ à la Richeliéu_ and a pudding_ à la d''Orléans_? 34828 Suppose we give him some cigars, eh?"
34828Suppose we pass over him-- what do you say to that?
34828Surely you got my letter?
34828The amount you want is eighteen thousand francs-- isn''t it?
34828The one that you put your letters to women in?
34828The picture- dealer, is it?
34828Then, what interest have you in defending him?
34828They are calling for the organisation of labour,said another:"Can this be conceived?"
34828This impugns nobody''s honour, do you understand?
34828To take what?
34828Was there a good supply of truffles there?
34828We can bring them with us, ca n''t we?
34828We like to be alone better-- don''t we?
34828Well, and what about yourself?
34828Well, how is she going on?
34828Well, what is there to prevent you?
34828Well, what then?
34828Well, what then?
34828Well, what?
34828Well,said Arnoux, heaving a deep sigh,"you know all about it?"
34828Well,said Rosanette,"what does that signify?"
34828Well-- I suppose so----And, as he hesitated:"What is the matter with you?
34828Well-- and this little business?
34828Well?
34828Well?
34828Well?
34828Were you not----?
34828What a foot, eh? 34828 What a stupid play that was-- was it not, Monsieur?"
34828What are you to do in an age of decadence like ours? 34828 What brings you here?"
34828What cab?
34828What could you expect,said a third,"when we see M. de Genoude giving his assistance to the_ Siècle_?"
34828What do I care about him, indeed? 34828 What do I owe to this gentleman that I should be polite to him?
34828What do you think of it? 34828 What do you want me to do?"
34828What does it matter, if one is compensated by the enjoyment of supreme bliss?
34828What does that signify to me? 34828 What does that signify?"
34828What has become of you, my dear? 34828 What has happened to you?"
34828What is it, pray?
34828What is that, pray?
34828What is the matter now?
34828What is the matter now?
34828What is the use of talking about all these things,said he,"when we''ll never have them?"
34828What is this but a beautiful woman? 34828 What is to be done?"
34828What number?
34828What other woman?
34828What prevents you from doing so?
34828What then, mademoiselle? 34828 What''s the matter now with the ducky?
34828What''s the matter now, citizen?
34828What''s the use of it?
34828What, are you leaving me?
34828What, do n''t you know anyone who would----?
34828What? 34828 When are you going to take me there with you?"
34828When is Monsieur coming back?
34828When you have finished, you will order your carriage, will you not?
34828Where are they?
34828Where is he living now?
34828Where is she now?
34828Where is the disgrace of passing for her lover? 34828 Where the deuce are you bringing me to?"
34828Where, pray?
34828Who knows?
34828Who, pray, is Mademoiselle Louise?
34828Who, pray?
34828Whose fault is it? 34828 Whose polka, pray, is this?"
34828Why do you give me pain?
34828Why in the world,M. Dambreuse went on,"are you so anxious to be attached to the Council of State?"
34828Why not?
34828Why should I not go?
34828Why should we, indeed? 34828 Why, now?"
34828Why, then,said Sénécal,"have you not got the volumes of the working- men poets?"
34828Why, what has he done to you?
34828Why?
34828Why?
34828Why?
34828Would not virtue in that case be merely cowardice?
34828Would you like me to go back with you?
34828Would you prefer a turbot_ à la_ Chambord?
34828You are acquainted with him, perhaps?
34828You are sending me away?
34828You are staying for supper with us, are you not?
34828You believe still in the police, do you? 34828 You have been there?"
34828You have no need of money, I fancy?
34828You know M. Dambreuse, do n''t you?
34828You might find it to your advantage some time----"What do you mean by that?
34828You will introduce me there later, will you not, old fellow?
34828You''re getting on well all this time?
34828You''ve been put out?
34828You''ve come to see the master? 34828 Your verses, then?"
34828''Tis a commonplace country enough-- Italy, eh?
34828A dark woman, is she not, of the middle height?"
34828A little affair of the heart?
34828A man- servant in a gold- laced cap came up and said:"Would Monsieur have the kindness to go below?
34828A tear fell down her face; then, turning towards the young man, softly:"What is your Christian name?"
34828After this he thought of Hussonnet; but where could he discover a man of that sort?
34828Am I a fast woman-- I?
34828Am I not free----?"
34828And Arnoux, eh?
34828And Théodore, the little fellow who always used to attend down stairs?
34828And a fellow named Eugène?
34828And as for her-- Madame Arnoux-- how could he ever see her again now?
34828And he repeated,"Is it the rich man''s fault?"
34828And suddenly:"Will you be the man to perform those duties, with the title of general secretary?"
34828And you?"
34828And, after a minute''s silence:"Where are you going this evening?"
34828And, after all, why should he not?
34828And, questioning the waiter:"You heard him yourself, just as I did?"
34828And, turning towards Cisy:"Are we to be obliged to follow the advice of the infamous Malthus?"
34828And, with a napkin under his arm, the master of the establishment himself accosted him:"You''re asking him for M. Regimbart, monsieur?
34828And, without waiting for an answer, he asked Hussonnet in a low tone:"What is your friend''s name?"
34828Are you English?
34828Are you a judge of them?
34828Are you going to obey me, damn you?
34828Are you going to wait for your hidalgo?"
34828Are you listening to me?"
34828Are you quite sure?"
34828Are you still in love with Madame Arnoux?
34828Arnoux next asked:"And why do n''t you call there oftener?"
34828Arnoux replied with an air of calmness:"How do you think I could live in Paris now?"
34828Arnoux watched them going off; then, turning towards Frederick:"Did you like the Vatnaz?
34828Arnoux?"
34828As a matter of fact, how do you know, Monsieur, that I am not myself a police spy?"
34828At last Arnoux would say to him,"Shall you be disengaged to- morrow evening?"
34828Besides, what did it matter, when he could now visit her entirely at his ease, live in the very atmosphere she breathed?
34828Besides, what was he to do?
34828Besides, when Deslauriers might wait?
34828But M. Dambreuse?
34828But his uncle would leave him something?
34828But how could he receive her--_her_, his future mistress?
34828But how would he explain his fixed sojourn at Nogent?
34828But how, you will say to me, can we be sure of selling?
34828But in what way could the sovereignty of the people be more sacred than the Divine Right?
34828But on what pretext could I ask for money?
34828But where in the world is Cisy?"
34828But why had he never spoken about Madame Arnoux?
34828But why?
34828But''tis late; suppose we go?"
34828Can she receive me?"
34828Can you chat with a woman yourself?"
34828Cisy replied that it was"the Comtesse Dambreuse""They''re very rich-- aren''t they?"
34828Could there be anything more certain?
34828Do I sell myself?
34828Do you remember, Mademoiselle, when you slept on my knees in the carriage?"
34828Do you want me to take my oath on it?"
34828Does this astonish you?"
34828Finally, what would his mother say?
34828Frederick added with an air of indifference:"Now that I think of it, do you still see-- what''s that his name is?--that ex- vocalist-- Delmar?"
34828Frederick broke it by saying:"When could you pay back this money?"
34828Frederick had no time to reflect about it, for M. Dambreuse, as soon as they were alone:"You did not come to get your shares?"
34828Frederick heard some phrases, such as the following:"Were you at the last charity fête at the Hôtel Lambert, Mademoiselle?"
34828Frederick interrupted him, saying in the most natural tone he could assume:"Is Arnoux going on well?"
34828Frederick, growing pale, added:"And Madame?"
34828Frederick, hurt by the attitude which Deslauriers was assuming, replied:"Is that my fault?"
34828Frederick, taking advantage of the opportunity thus offered to talk about her, added shyly:"Could I not see her?"
34828Gone to travel in Italy?
34828Had he a mistress?
34828Had he not a distant cousin in America?
34828Had she fine eyes at one time, this woman?
34828Had she spoken?
34828Have you got a hundred sous to pay for my dinner?"
34828Have you got the amount?
34828He appeared to be collecting his thoughts; then, suddenly:"Has my case been found?"
34828He asked in return:"Delicacy about what?"
34828He assumed that she must be of Andalusian descent, perhaps a Creole: had she brought this negress across with her from the West Indian Islands?
34828He coloured slightly; finally, addressing the old man:"Our fair friend tells me that you would have the kindness----""What of that, neighbour?
34828He could not make up his mind to go away, and, with a look of entreaty:"These women you speak of are very unfeeling, then?"
34828He did not know what reply to make; and, after a slight chuckle, which gave him time for reflection:"If I told you, would you believe me?"
34828He next asked:"Are you quite sure of it?"
34828He said, with a sigh:"So, then, you do n''t admit that a man may love-- a woman?"
34828How could such a man as this fascinate her?
34828How do you reconcile the principle of article 1351 of the Civil Code with this application by a third party to set aside a judgment by default?"
34828How was he to accomplish this?
34828How was he to get an invitation to the Arnoux''s house?
34828How was he to make the most of himself?
34828How was he to meet her now?
34828How was it that he had not thought about her sooner?
34828How was that worthy relative?
34828I am in the way?"
34828I ask this of you as a special favour-- eh?"
34828I have been so much annoyed----""At what, pray?"
34828I have done right, have I not?"
34828I wanted to tell you----"He was astonished to find that she addressed him in the plural; and, as she again relapsed into silence:"Well, what?"
34828In what way could they repay him for his kindness?
34828Is it all over-- eh?"
34828Is it true that you''re going away?"
34828Is n''t it abominable?
34828Is that understood?"
34828Is that you, Felix?"
34828Is that your opinion, Father Dussardier?"
34828Is this your profession?
34828It does n''t annoy you when I address you in that way?"
34828Ledoux?"
34828M. Dambreuse invited his young friend to take his place among them, and when he declined:"What can I do for you?
34828M. Dambreuse perceived Martinon, and, drawing near his wife, in a low tone:"Is it you who invited him?"
34828Mademoiselle Vatnaz went on:"And what news about the old man of the mountain?"
34828Monsieur Ledoux?"
34828Now do you understand?
34828On one occasion, referring to a waiter who attended on him carelessly, he exclaimed:"Have we not enough of insults from the foreigner?"
34828Or suppose, rather, I were to make her wear blue velvet with a grey background, richly coloured?
34828Perhaps it would be better to go straight to the mark at once, and declare his love?
34828Perhaps she was not so hard to win?
34828Regimbart?"
34828She exclaimed:"But what is the meaning of that-- a good fellow?"
34828She had, moreover, a figure like Marthe, so that Frederick said to her, at their second interview:"Will you permit me to kiss you, mademoiselle?"
34828She returned coldly:"Perhaps that wounds your delicacy?"
34828She soon rose, and stretching out her hand towards him:"You do not remember me, Monsieur Auguste?"
34828She was dead, perhaps?
34828She went on:"What lucky chance has brought you here?"
34828Since Madame Arnoux had come once, what was to prevent her from coming again?
34828So there is no risk, you understand?"
34828The banker added, with a display of good- nature:"Are you on friendly terms with them-- on intimate terms?"
34828The dealer in faïence looked so gloomy that his companion wished to know if he were ill."I?
34828The door- keeper called him back, exclaiming:"Have you a permit?"
34828The picture- dealer added, with an air of simplicity:"What''s the name, by- the- by, of that young fellow, your friend?"
34828The professor, displeased at listening to theories opposed to his own, asked him in a churlish tone:"And so this is your view, monsieur?
34828Their house should be amusing; besides, he liked Arnoux; then, who could tell?
34828Then all of a sudden:"You know him-- Père Oudry-- don''t you?"
34828Then he had a talk with the waiter all about the latter''s predecessors at the"Provençaux":--"What had become of Antoine?
34828Then, all at once:"Will you bet me a hundred francs that I wo n''t_ do_ the first woman that passes?"
34828Then, as soon as they were alone in the dining- room, his mother said to him in a low tone:"Well?"
34828Then, in a low tone:"_ He_ brought you to the ball the other night, did he not?"
34828Then, without paying the slightest attentions to the obeisances of his man- servant:"Why did n''t you bring the trap down here?"
34828Thereupon Hussonnet said, considering this an opportune time:"Could n''t you give me an advance, my dear master----?"
34828To lead us to what?
34828To tell her that he loved her?
34828To whom did this hat belong?
34828Undoubtedly it must be an invention, a calumny?
34828Was he laughing at him?
34828Was it a thoughtless act, or an encouragement?
34828Was it another trick of the Maréchale?
34828Was it forgetfulness on their part, or was it intentional?
34828Was it in order to prevent any allusion on his part to the memories they possessed in common?
34828Was it not enough to have insulted Madame Arnoux?
34828Was it she?
34828Was the object of this to let him know that he would get no invitation from them?
34828Was this a hint?
34828Was this an indirect overture?
34828Was this not an engagement, a promise?
34828Was this remorse or passion?
34828We are melancholy?"
34828Well, after all, where would be the harm of that?
34828Well, what is annoying you?
34828Were they advances on her part?
34828What are you laughing at?
34828What do I care about him after all?
34828What do you think of it?"
34828What do you want me to do with them?
34828What does it mean-- reality?
34828What does it signify?"
34828What in the world could Regimbart be doing?
34828What in the world was it?
34828What is it but the beautiful?
34828What need have we of laborious trifles, from which it is impossible to derive any benefit-- those Venuses, for instance, with all your landscapes?
34828What need was there for telling us about the Valois?
34828What the deuce brings you here?
34828What was her name, her place of residence, her life, her past?
34828What was the meaning of this invitation?
34828What will they say to me?"
34828What would Monsieur like to take?"
34828What''s the matter with you?"
34828What, then, did she mean?
34828When he came back, he wanted to know from Frederick"who was that young man?"
34828When he reached home again he found a letter containing these words:"What news?
34828When, then, would he next see her?
34828Whence came this goodwill?
34828Where could Rosanette be?
34828Where did it come from?"
34828Where the deuce have you been?
34828Where''s my case?
34828Where, then, did she reside?
34828Where, then, is the type?"
34828Where, then, were they living?
34828Who told you that?"
34828Why are you going?"
34828Why did n''t you do like the others, each of whom went off with a woman?"
34828Why did you never say anything to me about them in your letters?"
34828Why does it place shackles on the compulsory sale of real estate?
34828Why does the law impede fathers of families with regard to the making of wills?
34828Why had she offered him her hand?
34828Why not take the risk at once of uttering the word on which his happiness depended?
34828Why not?
34828Why not?
34828Why should he despair?
34828Why should she have come there?
34828Why?"
34828Will you bring me your sketches one of these days?"
34828Will you listen to me?"
34828Would he like to be a partner in any of his own undertakings?
34828Would you like me to introduce you to some women?
34828Would you mind?"
34828Would you not be flattered at being in that position?"
34828Yes or no?"
34828Yes, my good friends, one of the old_ régime_!--nice, is n''t she?"
34828You are not going away again?"
34828You do n''t chance to have it yourself?"
34828You have no objection, is n''t that so?"
34828You know his joke on the subject?"
34828You would do well, Hussonnet, to touch on this matter with a word or two in your newspaper?"
34828Your health is good, I hope?
34828again?"
34828and alone?
34828and in what way?"
34828and is she an accomplice of her husband?"
34828are we ourselves free?"
34828are you going?"
34828are you so childish?"
34828are you still thinking about that?"
34828but with me?
34828by what means?
34828could I be more unfortunate than I am with these creatures?"
34828do I know him?
34828how are you going on?
34828indeed?
34828just now?--for good?--we''ll never see one another again?"
34828not so unique as people say it is?
34828she said,"you are trembling?"
34828so you know him?"
34828such things sometimes happen on the Bourse-- well, then, since I am breaking my promise to one of them, am I not free?
34828what brings you back again?"
34828what does it matter?"
34828what does that signify?
34828what''s the good?
34828what''s the matter with you?"
34828would you like to have a hand in it?"
34828yes, will you not?"
34828your case, in which you keep your notes of lectures?
11303''And Ford; what did you think of Ford''s Macbeth?''
11303''And I never succeeded in writing my play?''
11303''And does n''t a human being ever forgive?''
11303''And he has left Ashwood to Mr. Price, is not that his name?''
11303''And it was in this room that you dreamed all those dreams?''
11303''And live here with you, I and Julia?''
11303''And she is really the girl you intended to play Lady Hayward?''
11303''And she refused?''
11303''And supposing it were so, what would be your advice?
11303''And then?''
11303''And what do you think of it?
11303''And what has become of this actress?''
11303''And what part has he cast you for-- the young girl?''
11303''And what will you say?''
11303''And when did he make this new will?''
11303''And why not, Emily?''
11303''And why not?
11303''And why, may I ask?''
11303''And why?
11303''And would you have him married?''
11303''And you agree with him that I ought to go away?''
11303''And you will come and stay with us in London?
11303''Are n''t you coming down to dinner, Emily?
11303''Are n''t you getting on this morning?''
11303''Are you going to write about it?''
11303''Are you quite sure?''
11303''Are you really serious?''
11303''Are you sure?''
11303''But did you not hear him say at dinner that he was re- writing as he rehearsed?
11303''But do n''t you think her very handsome?''
11303''But do you think that my refusal to marry him had anything to do with his death?''
11303''But if he does n''t?''
11303''But what do you propose?''
11303''But what has she done?''
11303''But when can I have the manuscript?''
11303''But why?
11303''But you are not offended?''
11303''But you will let her have the part of Lady Hayward?''
11303''But, dearest Emily, who are"they"?
11303''But,''she said, her voice trembling,''you would not have committed suicide?''
11303''Dandy is mine; they ca n''t take him from me, can they?
11303''Dearest Julia, you do love me, do n''t you?
11303''Did it escape?
11303''Did she ask you?''
11303''Did you like the piece?''
11303''Did you never break your resolutions?''
11303''Do n''t speak like that.... Where will you go?''
11303''Do n''t yer know?''
11303''Do n''t you think it will run, then?''
11303''Do we?''
11303''Do you care for flowers?''
11303''Do you dislike children so much, then, Emily?''
11303''Do you like tall women?''
11303''Do you not think I was right?
11303''Do you think he''ll ever produce it?''
11303''Ford appeared quite satisfied then?''
11303''Have you any proposal to make regarding her?
11303''Have you any reason for thinking that Mr. Price will do so?''
11303''Have you been asleep?''
11303''Have you been dreaming again?''
11303''Have you seen the evening papers--_The Telephone_, for instance?''
11303''Have you spoken to her on the subject?''
11303''He knows where I am going, and is afraid I shall forget him-- aren''t you, dear old Don?
11303''How can I convince you of the injustice of your suspicions?''
11303''How can you ask me?
11303''How could I have been so stupid?
11303''How did the piece go to- night?''
11303''How do you know that he is coming to turn you out of Ashwood?
11303''How is this to end?''
11303''How should I know what you know or do n''t know?
11303''How was that?''
11303''How''s the booking?''
11303''I can not,''she said,''and I will not, and I do not understand how you can ask me-- you who are so loyal, how can you ask me to be disloyal?''
11303''I did hate him, did n''t I?
11303''I shall be very glad.... Do you think it wo n''t bore you?''
11303''I suppose you have told him that I am looking thin and ill.... Men like tall, big, healthy women like you-- don''t they?''
11303''I wish it?
11303''I wonder if he''d give me the picture of the windmill?''
11303''I wonder what a restaurant is like; ladies dine at restaurants, do n''t they?''
11303''I''m not dreaming, am I?''
11303''I''m sorry,''said Mrs. Bentley,''for disturbing you, but I should like to know what fish you would like for your dinner-- soles, turbot, or whiting?
11303''If I tell you what I want, you wo n''t refuse me, will you?''
11303''If you think this is so, had she not better leave?''
11303''In her case, it is a necessity; but do you think she takes it?''
11303''Is he dead?''
11303''Is he married?''
11303''Is he not a dear?''
11303''Is he?
11303''Is it possible,''said Mr. Grandly,''that Mr. Burnett seriously contemplated marriage with Miss Watson?''
11303''Is that all?
11303''Is that really true?
11303''Julia, do not say you never will?''
11303''My dear Emily, how can you say such things?
11303''My dear Emily, how can you think of such a thing?
11303''No, you do n''t know, dear-- do you?
11303''No,''he said, taking her hands,''we are good friends-- are we not?
11303''No; I have not.... Why do you come to torment me?
11303''Not after the third?''
11303''Not come back at all?
11303''Now, is that your idea of the scene?''
11303''Now?
11303''Oh yes; five shillings, was n''t it?''
11303''Oh, Julia, Julia, do you think he forgave me?
11303''Oh, my dear Emily, how can you ask such a question?
11303''Oh, what does he say?
11303''Oh, you are my only friend; you will not leave me now.... We shall always love one another, shall we not?
11303''Oh,''she said,''why do you say these things?
11303''Only pretty well?
11303''Perfectly, so far as I''m concerned; and you, Emily?''
11303''S''pose yer know the picture?''
11303''Shall I come with you?''
11303''Shall I light a candle?''
11303''Shall I send you up some soup?''
11303''Shall we be happy?
11303''Then why do you persist?
11303''Then will you wait a moment?
11303''Then, why do n''t you do a Hubert Price in a book?
11303''Then,''she said, with a sweet and natural smile,''I''ll write to you.... We have been excellent friends-- comrades-- have we not?''
11303''There''s no harm in that, is there?
11303''Try again?
11303''Was she acting in the piece we saw to- night?''
11303''We know nothing for certain,''he answered; and then he said,''You and Mrs. Bentley have lived a long time together?''
11303''Well then, may I run and tell Julia?''
11303''Well, then,''ave a chop?''
11303''Were you ever in love?''
11303''Were you very fond of her?''
11303''What are you doing?
11303''What can we do?
11303''What did you dream?''
11303''What do you mean, Emily?''
11303''What do you mean?
11303''What do you mean?''
11303''What do you think of his work?''
11303''What do you think of turbot?''
11303''What furnishing?''
11303''What has become of him?''
11303''What has she done?''
11303''What is this?''
11303''What kind of man?''
11303''What?
11303''Where have you been all this time?''
11303''Where have you been hiding yourself?...
11303''Where would he find any one to play and sing to him in the evenings as you can?''
11303''Who is she?''
11303''Why do I go away?
11303''Why do n''t you answer me?''
11303''Why do you hope so?''
11303''Why not?
11303''Why not?
11303''Why not?
11303''Why should you go?
11303''Why should you not marry her?''
11303''Why should you not take me out?...
11303''Why should you tell me these falsehoods?
11303''Will you go and ask him?''
11303''Will you read me the play?''
11303''With a young man hanging over her whispering in her ear?''
11303''Wo n''t you sit down?''
11303''Yes, dear, I promise you that, and you will promise me to try to like your cousin?''
11303''Yes, of course-- that is to say, if----''''Why"if"?''
11303''Yes; why not?''
11303''You are not going to remain in the dark?
11303''You are not in earnest?
11303''You are not serious?''
11303''You hardly expect me to believe that, do you?''
11303''You know what the cause of it is, I suppose?''
11303''You know when the husband meets the wife he has divorced?''
11303''You saw her to- night?''
11303''You say that he passed away quietly; he did not seem to suffer at all?''
11303''You surely do n''t believe what you are saying is true?
11303''You were very poor once?''
11303''You will do all you can to help us?
11303''You would n''t do that, would you?''
11303''You''re rather dusty; where have you been?
11303''Your conception is clear enough; why do n''t you write the book?''
11303''Your play,_ Divorce_, is now running at the Queen''s Theatre?''
11303A zig- zag fugitive thought passed: why did the fly- man speak of taking them to the station?
11303Above all, was he incapable of finishing_ The Gipsy_ as he intended?
11303Although only distantly related, you are cousins, after all-- are you not?''
11303Am I not right?''
11303And had she not loved Hubert?--no one would ever know how much; she did not know herself,--and had he not lied to her?
11303And that delicate little creature in the box next to her-- that pale diaphanous face?''
11303Any harm in that?''
11303Are you asleep?''
11303Are you fond of animals?''
11303Are you going into the garden?''
11303Are you not the very woman whose influence, whose guidance, is necessary, so that I should succeed?
11303Are you sure it will not bore you?
11303As he was about to cross into Oxford Street, he heard some one accost him,--''Oh, Mr. Price, is that you?''
11303At last she said, and with the querulous perversity of the sick---''But even if I wished to go abroad, with whom could I go?''
11303At last she said, breaking the silence abruptly--''Is he very angry?
11303At last she said,''I suppose you do n''t think so?''
11303At that moment Emily said--''May I not come too?''
11303At the end of a long silence Emily said--''Do you think clever men like clever women?''
11303At the end of a long silence Hubert said--''What are you thinking of, dearest?''
11303At the end of a long silence he said,--''Did you hear anything about the last night''s?''
11303At the end of a long silence, Hubert said,''Will you not come up- stairs, and let me read you the first act?''
11303At the end of about ten minutes the actor said,--''Well, this is a bad business; they are terribly down on us-- aren''t they?
11303Because the public is too stupid?''
11303Burnett has divided his fortune, leaving Ashwood to Mr. Price, and all his invested money to Emily?''
11303Burnett?''
11303But do yer think''e''d''ave been allowed?
11303But do you regret?''
11303But do you see the woman in the stage- box?
11303But do you think the swans belong to them or to us?
11303But does she want you to leave?''
11303But how?
11303But of what use thinking of what was not to be?
11303But seeing that she showed no signs of moving, she said,''Are n''t you coming down to dinner, Emily?''
11303But that presence was forbidden him-- that presence that seemed so necessary; and for what reason?
11303But though Emily''s eyes seemed to know all, they seemed to say,''What matter?
11303But why do you always take her part against me?
11303But why do you say such things?
11303But why think of the play at all?
11303But would it be right for me to pay you visits in London?''
11303But you wo n''t tell any one?
11303Ca n''t you understand that things may go wrong without it being any one''s fault in particular?''
11303Can not you see their black eyes turned towards the bridge?''
11303Change of air and scene?''
11303Did he say I would soon recover?
11303Did he say that I was very bad?
11303Did n''t you, Julia?''
11303Did those who believed in the old formulas imagine that the new formula would be discovered straight away, without failures preliminary?
11303Did you never hear of Dolly Dayrell?''
11303Dinner will be ready in a few minutes; or, if you like, I will dine up- stairs; and you and Mr. Price----''''But is he coming down to dinner?
11303Do I not love you?
11303Do n''t you know that Ford has decided to revive_ Divorce_?''
11303Do n''t you know what I mean?''
11303Do n''t you remember how I met Hubert next morning on the lawn?
11303Do n''t you think so?''
11303Do yer think the perlice would''ave stood it?
11303Do yer think the public would''ave stood him doing masterpieces on the pavement?
11303Do you believe in dreams?''
11303Do you know anything about Mr. Price?
11303Do you know of any secret grief-- any love affair?
11303Do you know this part of the country?''
11303Do you mind?''
11303Do you not know what it is to be loyal?''
11303Do you not see how ill she is looking?
11303Do you not think she is very handsome?''
11303Do you think I am blind?
11303Do you think he will come down to dinner?''
11303Do you think it will succeed this time?''
11303Do you think she would have left the room just now if she could have helped it?''
11303Do you think that I do n''t suffer?
11303Do you think that I''m not wretched?''
11303Do you think they will?''
11303Do you think you can spare it?''
11303Do you think you ever will?''
11303Does Black say anything about giving her a letter?''
11303Does every one who writes plays take so much trouble?''
11303Does n''t the world seem very wonderful to you?
11303Eggs and bacon?''
11303Emily raised her eyes and looked shyly at Hubert; and then, as if doubtful of herself, she said,''Do you like her?
11303Every evening he listened for Rose''s footstep on the stairs.--How did the piece go?--Was there a better house?
11303Got the chuck?''
11303Had he not seen them?
11303Had the critic in_ The Modern Review_ told him the truth?
11303Had they destroyed it?
11303Had we better send for the doctor?''
11303Has he answered yours?''
11303Has he gone to his study?
11303Has she been complaining about me to you?
11303Have I not convinced you that you were wrong?''
11303Have you been very happy?''
11303Have you not noticed how she follows us?
11303Have you noticed how poorly she is looking?''
11303He must reduce his expenditure; but how?
11303He opened the conservatory door, ran across the lawn round to the front door, and came back with-- what do you think?
11303He says I look it; but what''s the good of looking it when you do n''t feel it?
11303His uncle?
11303How can I?
11303How did you leave her?''
11303How do we know that they do not suffer?''
11303How have I repaid her?
11303How shall we get through our evenings?''
11303How was it that he knew where they wanted to go?
11303How would he get to America?
11303How would the landing look without it?
11303Hubert looked up quickly, hoping Mrs. Bentley would not answer, but before he could make a sign she said--''What do you mean, Emily?
11303Hubert said,"Will you come with me?
11303Hubert said--''What do you think, Doctor?
11303I could hardly speak.... You remember?''
11303I do n''t know how much they cost, but I''ve five shillings; can you get one for that?''
11303I do n''t think I ever saw any one act before like that-- did you?''
11303I do n''t think a man would say that if he did n''t like you, do you?''
11303I do n''t think she ever really touched the part-- do you?''
11303I hope she is n''t ill?
11303I hope-- I may trust that you will remain with her?''
11303I know a great deal more than I can explain....''''But tell me, Emily, what is it you suspect?
11303I know she wanted to come; but----''''But what?''
11303I love the picture of the windmill on the first landing----''''Then why not have it?
11303I married when I was very young; before I had even begun to think about life I found---- But why distress these hours with painful memories?''
11303I never told you what my dreams were, but you remember how I woke up with a cry, and you asked me what was the matter?''
11303I said, Why paint?
11303I says to myself, Why not go in for lovely woman?
11303I shall prescribe a tonic, but----''''But what, doctor?''
11303I should miss it dreadfully when I came here-- for I daresay you will ask us to visit you occasionally, when you are lonely, wo n''t you?''
11303I was wrong; yes, I would have married him if I had known.... You do n''t believe me?''
11303I wonder how you can think of such a thing, Mr. Grandly?
11303I wonder where he is now?''
11303I wonder which of us will succeed first?''
11303I''ll either carry my play through completely, realise my ideal, or----''''Remain for ever unsatisfied?''
11303I''ve seen it go better; but----''''Did you get a call?''
11303If she did not say it, can you tell me how it got about?''
11303Is he very angry?''
11303Is it true?''
11303Is not the prospect a lovely one?''
11303Is she dead?
11303Is she seriously ill?''
11303Is that-- that is not all you are going to ask me for?''
11303Is this it?''
11303It had failed, and failed twice; but did that prove anything?
11303It is curious that I should dream of him last night, and that you should receive that letter this morning, is n''t it?''
11303It was hardly possible that the piece could survive such notices; and if it did not?
11303It would be said everywhere that I had you sent away.... You promise me not to leave?''
11303Let me light a night- light?''
11303Oh, Julia, does n''t it seem impossible?
11303One ca n''t explain oneself in a scene here and there.... What are you thinking of?''
11303Reading the look of pain that had come into her eyes, he said,''You will not refuse me?
11303Shall I go and fetch your hat and jacket?''
11303Shall I go and tell him that you wo n''t come down because you think he is angry with you?''
11303Shall I light your candles?''
11303Shall I open the door?''
11303She had forgotten her latch- key, and he said,''Will you allow me to let you in?''
11303She killed herself-- is that it?''
11303She would hold to her and fight for her with all her strength, but would she not fall vanquished in the fight; and then, and then?
11303She would like to have this bookcase, and might she not take the wardrobe from her own room?
11303Should he keep it all for himself and his art?
11303Should he open it?
11303Should he tell his landlady the truth?
11303Should she pile falsehood on falsehood?
11303Should you like to sleep a little longer, or shall I bring you up some breakfast?''
11303So I said,"Oh, what ever shall we do?
11303So the piece did n''t go very well to- night?''
11303Splendid fire-- is it not?''
11303Strange, was it not strange?...
11303Suddenly she said--''I wonder what Hubert is doing in London?
11303Suppose he took, that very night, an overdose of chloral?
11303Supposing, supposing that were to happen?
11303That old, dilapidated print?''
11303That proposal of marriage; could she ever forget it?
11303That second act?''
11303That''s right, ai n''t it?
11303That''s true, ai n''t it?''
11303The room was grey with dawn, and you said:"Emily dear, what have you been dreaming, to cry out like that?"
11303The suggestion filled Hubert''s heart with rushing pain, and he answered--''Why should we return?
11303Their eyes met; and, divining each other''s thought, each felt ashamed, and Julia said--''Oh, what am I saying?
11303Then Emily went on:''You wo n''t tell any one I told you?
11303Then a look of yielding passed into her eyes, and she said--''Well, what is it?''
11303Then in a lighter tone:''I want you to give me a lot of things-- oh, not a great many, nothing very valuable, but----''''But what, Emily?...
11303Then we can go on just the same; but if you married her, I----''''I what?''
11303Then why do people say you are going to marry her?''
11303Then why should I remain?
11303There was nothing in his mind but''Will the piece succeed?
11303They lingered on the landing, and Hubert said,''Wo n''t you come in for a moment?''
11303They would n''t gallop their horses like that unless they were being pursued.... Can I have the picture?''
11303To whom should he give it?
11303Turning suddenly, he said--''But tell me, Emily, how are you feeling?
11303VI''What will ye''ave to eat?
11303Was he incapable of earning a living?
11303Was it the fault of circumstances that he had not been able to finish that play?
11303Well, what were we talking about?
11303What are you going to do?''
11303What can happen?''
11303What did he think of divorce?
11303What did his failure to write that play condemn him to?
11303What did it matter even if he never wrote it?
11303What did it matter?
11303What did it mean, what meaning had it in the great, wide world?
11303What do you accuse me of?''
11303What do you mean?
11303What do you think?''
11303What do you think?''
11303What does Fate know of our little rights and wrongs-- or care?
11303What induced such a change in her?
11303What is he?
11303What is her reason for wanting to go?''
11303What is it?
11303What part of the town be yer going to-- the railway station?''
11303What shall I do if it fails?''
11303What should I do-- what should we do?
11303What should he do with it?
11303What should she do, what should she do, and with that motherless girl dependent on her for food and clothes and shelter?
11303What stops you now?
11303What was I a- saying of?
11303What was it-- drink?
11303What would you advise us to do?''
11303What you have to say to me is about her?''
11303What?
11303When did you ever know me to tell a falsehood?''
11303When shall we go to London?''
11303Where does he live?''
11303Where was Mrs. Bentley?
11303Which do I like the better?
11303Who would have thought it of you?''
11303Why did she not understand?
11303Why do n''t ye laugh?''
11303Why do such things happen to me?
11303Why do you refuse to take the only step that may lead us out of this difficulty?''
11303Why do you tempt me to do a dishonourable action?''
11303Why not let things go on just as they are?''
11303Why not spare himself the pain?
11303Why not write at once and engage the theatre?
11303Why should he?
11303Why should she hate you?''
11303Why should she love him?
11303Why should you go away?''
11303Why will you not believe me?''
11303Will it suit you to come into the drawing- room with me?''
11303Will she forgive him?
11303Will you go and fetch her, Mrs. Bentley?
11303Will you promise me?''
11303Wo n''t you come in for a few minutes?...
11303Would nothing happen?
11303Would these people never give their attention to the stage?
11303Yer do n''t follow me?''
11303You agree with me-- do you not?''
11303You are sure you do n''t want them, do you?''
11303You are surely not in earnest?''
11303You can not think that I would deceive you, Emily?
11303You do n''t really intend me to go back to Emily and tell her?...
11303You do not want to vex him, do you?''
11303You have not noticed that we hardly speak now?''
11303You imagine these things.... Do you suppose that Mr. Grandly would send him down here if he did not know what his intentions were?''
11303You promise me?''
11303You remember how I ran to you?
11303You remember how we listened for his footstep in the passage, as he went up to bed, and how I clung to you?
11303You remember that first evening?
11303You think, I suppose, I did not see you showing him a ring?
11303You think, I suppose, that I''m in love with Hubert?
11303You will not refuse it?''
11303You will not refuse, Julia?''
11303You will stop here-- you will be my wife?''
11303You wo n''t tell Mrs. Bentley?
11303You would n''t like to miss a walk with your mistress, would you, dear?''
11303You would not care to go so far?''
11303You, too, want to send me away?''
11303is it killed?''
11303or was it that the slight vein of genius that had been in him once had been exhausted?
11303she said, looking at him reproachfully,''how can you?''
11303what have you been doing?''
11303why did you persuade me-- why-- why-- why?''
44486Ah, Dodo,he said,"can not you believe in me at all?"
44486Ah, Dodo,he said,"what are you going to ask?
44486Ah, Vivy,she said,"you have guessed it, have you?
44486Ah, my own wife,he said,"what should I have done if it had been you?
44486Ah, you are just off?
44486Ah, you like it? 44486 Ah, you think that, do you?"
44486Ah,said Mrs. Vivian softly,"he has come back, has he?"
44486Ah,she said,"the old story, is n''t it?
44486Ai n''t it a lark?
44486And Bertie?
44486Are those the weapons you would fight Lord Chesterford with, if Dodo told you to?
44486Are we to begin at once?
44486Are you a little tired, darling?
44486Are you going in, Dodo?
44486Are you sure you do n''t mind, Dodo?
44486Arfly clever, is n''t she? 44486 Bertie,"said Dodo,"are you coming shooting?"
44486But do you mean to say you''re going to let the coal stop there?
44486But it was true?
44486But what does that matter?
44486But who are these dreadfully clever people?
44486But you do n''t think he is an instance in particular?
44486Ca n''t I do anything to help? 44486 Did Lady Chesterford give you any other orders?"
44486Did n''t he always strike you as a little stupid?
44486Did you expect me to believe it?
44486Did you like it?
44486Did you see her dance that night, mother? 44486 Did you see much of him?"
44486Did you tell Dodo this?
44486Did you try and see her?
44486Do n''t you like Grantie, Jack?
44486Do n''t you see how dangerous it is all becoming? 44486 Do things that disagree with the same thing agree with one another?"
44486Do you find pity a satisfactory diet?
44486Do you know the plant called honesty, Grantie?
44486Do you know what Mrs. Vivian has been saying to me?
44486Do you know with whom she has been staying?
44486Do you know, Jack nearly shot himself the other day at a grouse drive?
44486Do you mean that nothing will deter you from seeing this Austrian?
44486Do you mean you''re going to leave thousands of pounds lying there in the earth?
44486Do you mind my smoking cigarettes? 44486 Do you quite realise what that means?"
44486Do you remember the Brettons''ball? 44486 Do you say that already?"
44486Do you suppose a vulgar fraction knows how vulgar it is?
44486Dodo, dear, did n''t you hear the Prince say so?
44486Dodo, you will not think me preaching or being priggish, will you, darling? 44486 Does he really believe all that?"
44486Does she ever lecture you?
44486Does that mean that he is not honest in ordinary matters?
44486Family prayers over yet, father?
44486Far apart, Dodo? 44486 Hard on her?"
44486Has Jack been saying it is n''t tea- time?
44486Has he gone on some visit?
44486Has it come to that?
44486Have n''t you got a proverb about making a virtue of necessity?
44486Have n''t you heard?
44486Have you ever seen me other than humble-- to you?
44486Have you never felt that illusion?
44486Have you seen Dodo to- day?
44486He was n''t vexed, was he?
44486He was very sweet and dear and remembering, was n''t he?
44486He''s rather amusing, is n''t he?
44486His Serene Highness who?
44486How could I have done it?
44486How dare you think that?
44486How did he get here?
44486How did you know?
44486How did you make him angry?
44486How do you mean?
44486How does he take it?
44486How have you been getting on?
44486How is he?
44486How sweet of you,she said;"and you will go and work among the poor, and give them soup and prayer- books, wo n''t you?
44486How''s Charlie getting on? 44486 I caught the earlier train,"he said;"and where are you off to?"
44486I suppose I may congratulate you first?
44486I suppose it would endanger its life if you stopped, would n''t it, Jack? 44486 In any case, what did you find to say about them?"
44486Is Lady Chesterford in?
44486Is Lady Chesterford in?
44486Is Lord Chesterford up yet?
44486Is he dead?
44486Is it simply whether I stop here and talk to that cad? 44486 Is n''t it a lovely night?
44486Is n''t it charming? 44486 Is n''t it so?"
44486Is she here?
44486Is this note to ask him to come?
44486It is n''t to you, I suppose?
44486It would spoil the delightful impression of the very dry bones?
44486It''s an awful bore reading books, dontcherthink, what? 44486 It''s awfully good of you,"said he;"do you mean that you only owe me fifteen?"
44486It''s quite like old times, is n''t it? 44486 It''s unlucky to spill things, is n''t it?"
44486Jack, do you still love me?
44486Jack, what''ll you drink? 44486 Jack, would you like to live with your wife in a little house in the country?"
44486Jack, you will be, wo n''t you? 44486 Look at that stroke, perfectly rippin''you know, what?"
44486Lord Chesterford is in England?
44486May he come up to the nursery?
44486Miss Staines does play so arfly well, does n''t she?
44486Morning, Bertie,he remarked;"what''s up?"
44486My observations on you, or on the world in general?
44486No; what?
44486Not Dodo?
44486Now and then you make me feel as if you would rather like to go and live in a small cathedral town----"And shock the canons?
44486Now, is n''t that selfish?
44486Oh, Dodo, so soon?
44486Oh, Edith, you are a good chap; is n''t she, Mrs. Vivian? 44486 Oh, come, Lady Grantham,"he replied,"you do n''t think so badly of me as that, do you?"
44486Oh, did you never hear him sing last year?
44486Oh, my dear Chesterford, what does that matter?
44486Oh, that''s French, is n''t it?
44486Oh, that''s part of my charm, is n''t it?
44486Oh, what?
44486Ouf,said Dodo;"that sounds homelike to you, does n''t it?
44486Poor little chap, he always took to me from the first, do you remember? 44486 Poor old man,"she said,"did they call him names?
44486Sha''n''t I go on to the next chapter? 44486 Shall I seem rude if I say I do n''t want to?
44486Shall I tell her ladyship it is round?
44486She has been telling me I do not love you enough-- isn''t she ridiculous?
44486Surely the intelligent animal, who knows several languages, may read its own advertisement?
44486That sort of horror?
44486That''s something fearful, is n''t it? 44486 The Prince?
44486The congregation-- haf they arrived?
44486Then you think it does n''t matter whether society is composed of people without morals?
44486Then you will excuse my leaving you?
44486Then-- then Dodo is tired of me?
44486There''s nothing wrong with you, is there?
44486Vivy, what can I do? 44486 Was Patience a man?
44486Was n''t Prince Waldenech there himself?
44486Was that your unspoken thought, or was it not?
44486Well, Algy,she said,"how are the flowers going on?
44486Well, Lord Harchester,remarked Dodo,"how is your lordship to- day?
44486Well, what then?
44486Well?
44486What about delusions, Miss Grantham?
44486What am I to think about then?
44486What are their names?
44486What are you going for?
44486What book have you got hold of there?
44486What class?
44486What did Edith agree with you about?
44486What did Mrs. Vivian say to you?
44486What did he say then?
44486What do you believe?
44486What do you call indifferent things?
44486What do you think of him, as far as you''ve seen?
44486What does she want Bertie for?
44486What if I do n''t?
44486What is it?
44486What is it?
44486What is the upshot of all your observations?
44486What is your high game?
44486What made you tell that chap that we were engaged?
44486What on earth are we quarrelling about?
44486What right has he got to propose to you, I should like to know?
44486What was he there for?
44486What''s her method?
44486What''s the name of the little man and his moustache?
44486Where do you keep your cigarettes, Edith? 44486 Where have you been, Edith?"
44486Where shall we go now, Jack?
44486Which you gave him?
44486Who are my old friends if you are not?
44486Who taught you this? 44486 Who told you?"
44486Who was out at Zermatt when you were there?
44486Whose?
44486Why ca n''t I treat him like anyone else?
44486Why did he propose to call me out?
44486Why did n''t you put your silly old head in the light?
44486Why do you say that duelling has done out?
44486Why not?
44486Why should I worry myself with playing scales?
44486Why the deuce should Chesterford be born a marquis and not I? 44486 Why, what do you mean?"
44486Will no knowledge of what the man is really like, stop you holding further intercourse with him?
44486Will you do what I ask you?
44486Wo n''t you go to bed? 44486 Would it amuse me, do you think?"
44486Would you be so good as to let me see the telegram?
44486Would you dislike having to be serious very much?
44486Would you like to see Jack?
44486Would you never get tired of your wife, do n''t you think,continued the Princess,"if you shut yourselves up in the country?
44486Would you think me very heartless if I said''Yes''?
44486Yes, my darling,said he;"you would n''t have had me beat you, would you?
44486Yes; but your music is the expression of your conclusions, is n''t it?
44486You are sure you are n''t thinking of anyone in my case-- of Jack, for instance?
44486You do n''t despise me for feeling that?
44486You entirely decline to listen to reason?
44486You had a nice time then, abroad?
44486You here?
44486You knew it all?
44486You like her, do n''t you, Chesterford? 44486 You mean for fear of her putting a wrong construction on it?
44486You mean that he wo n''t have to make much allowance for me?
44486You mean that in the light of subsequent events it would have been reasonable in him to ask me to keep away from you?
44486You mean that there would be no increase in crime if the law did not punish?
44486You mean you attach no weight to my wishes in this matter?
44486You will be brave, wo n''t you? 44486 You''re going up a hill, I suppose?"
44486You''re not going?
44486You''re sure it''s nothing more?
44486A tall, handsome man in peer''s robes?"
44486Ah, what could I do?
44486Algy, why do n''t you have service out of doors at Gloucester?
44486Am I to tell him that my husband is afraid he''ll corrupt my morals?
44486Am I, Jack?"
44486And Chesterford?
44486And do you know Mr. Spencer, dear Miss Grantham?
44486And here I am enjoying myself, when she-- Maud, did you hear?
44486And how do you do, dear Mr. Broxton?
44486And the Marquis is your cousin, is he not?
44486And what does it matter what other people think?"
44486Are n''t I a wise woman, Jack?
44486Are n''t you jealous?"
44486Are n''t you?
44486Are we going to have grouse?"
44486Are you an apostle, Jack?"
44486Are you determined to marry this man?
44486Are you going out on the picnic?
44486Are you going to have the mirror figure?
44486Are you really going?
44486Are you stopping to lunch?
44486As Edith had chiefly written the Mass while smoking cigarettes after a hearty breakfast she merely said,--"How does anything come to anyone?
44486Awkward, is n''t it?"
44486Bertie Arbuthnot''s singing tenor, and he''s not very quick-- are you, Bertie?
44486Besides, do you think that it''s an advantage to associate with people who are good for you?
44486Bring some cigarettes, Walter, or would you rather have a cigar, Jack?
44486Broxton?"
44486But after that, what then?
44486But are you determined about the coal mine?"
44486But it is rather overwhelming, is n''t it?
44486But what followed?
44486Ca n''t she stop?
44486Ca n''t you see there are some things I can not help doing, and some I must do?"
44486Can the Ethiopian change his skin?"
44486Can you blame me for choosing the one, and avoiding the other?
44486Can you honestly say that you are still a friend of mine?"
44486Charming, was n''t it?
44486Chesterford, of course, was going, and Jack, and Maud and her mother; it was quite a small party; and was n''t Jack a dear?
44486Chesterford, we wo n''t quarrel at all, will we?
44486Chesterford, you shut it up, did n''t you, for several years, until you thought of bringing me here?
44486Could n''t I get a feller to learn it for me?"
44486Did Dodo then never think of her late husband with tenderness?
44486Did his desire for Dodo grow stronger with seeing her?
44486Did it ever enter your very pink head that you were a most important personage?
44486Did n''t you think our ball went off rather well?
44486Did she see you this morning?
44486Did you ever know, Jack--"even Dodo found it hard to get on at this moment--"did you ever know-- he knew all?
44486Did you ever play, the game of marking people for beauty, and modesty, and cleverness, and so on?
44486Did you have to take powders when you were little, Lady Grantham?"
44486Did you stop, to the end?
44486Did you think he was saying grace, or did you tell him not to be insolent?"
44486Do a baby''s eyes change when he gets older?
44486Do n''t you adore the opera, Mr. Broxton?
44486Do n''t you know how some sounds produce that effect?
44486Do n''t you like him immensely?
44486Do n''t you see that that sort of thing wo n''t do with Chesterford?
44486Do n''t you think I''m a very charming girl, and do n''t you think he''s a very charming boy?"
44486Do n''t you think so?
44486Do n''t you think that girl sings beautifully?
44486Do you altogether like it?"
44486Do you feel dreadfully shocked?"
44486Do you find us very interesting?"
44486Do you know the Prince?"
44486Do you know the hoop figure?
44486Do you mind my smoking in the drawing- room?
44486Do you suppose it dies?
44486Do you think I should take all the trouble with the praying- table and so on, if I was n''t?"
44486Do you think he knew me, Dodo?"
44486Do you think it knows me?"
44486Do you think it will be amusing?
44486Do you think we''d better have the skull, Edith?
44486Do you want beer?
44486Do you, Jack?
44486Dodo danced that night with unusual perfection, and who has not felt the exquisite beauty of such motion?
44486Dodo, may I have him down?"
44486Dodo, will you do this for me?
44486Does shooting bring on the inspiration, Edith?
44486Does that look as if I wanted to see him so dreadfully?"
44486Edith, may I give them the milky ham?
44486Edith, why are n''t we two nice, little simple painters who could sit down, and be happy to paint that, instead of turning ourselves inside out?
44486Had Jack been hideously tempted and not been able to resist?
44486Handel seems to me infinitely more satisfactory, I can understand him,''I simply say,''For Heaven''s sake, then, why do n''t you go to hear Handel?
44486Has he gone quite away?"
44486Have you ever been here before?
44486Have you ever known me make a fool of myself?
44486Have you got any musical footmen or housemaids?"
44486Have you got over it, by the way?
44486Have you seen Bertie yet, Jack?
44486Have you seen him?
44486Have you seen the baby?
44486Have you seen the boy?
44486Have you shot well?
44486He is Serene, is n''t he?
44486He walked in as cool as a cucumber, and said,''Howdy?''
44486He wanted to see Dodo; why on earth should n''t he?
44486He wondered vaguely whether something would break, and, if so, what?
44486Here she was feeding with an enviable appetite, and where was the cub?
44486How could she appeal to this woman, who looked at everything from only her own standpoint?
44486How dare you ask me?"
44486How did it begin?
44486How long had it been going on?
44486How old are you, Edith?
44486How should it?
44486How will Dodo have taken it?"
44486I do n''t look it, do I, Lady Grantham?
44486I do n''t think I''m vulgar, do you?
44486I do n''t think there ever was a saint Dodo before, or is it saintess?
44486I hope they''ve brought some_ pâtà ©,_ Do n''t you like_ pâtà ©_?
44486I sha''n''t shock your servants, shall I?
44486I shall go there this evening; shall I see you?"
44486I should have stopped at home singing hymns, I suppose, instead of going out to dinner; but what then?
44486I suppose Maud has n''t heard?"
44486I suppose he''ll play, wo n''t he?
44486I think that''s the one, of my great- grandfather, is n''t it?
44486I wanted the one in A, only there are no French horns in the village-- isn''t that benighted?
44486I''m a little-- Who is it, Walter?
44486If Chesterford goes to attend to bailiff''s business, why should n''t I go and dance?
44486Is Lord Chesterford at home?"
44486Is he coming shooting?".
44486Is it that certain attributes of pure womanliness run through the female of animals, or that every woman has a touch of the tigress about her?
44486Is it to be an honest tail?
44486Is lordship masculine, feminine, or neuter, Chesterford?
44486Is n''t it big?"
44486Is n''t it nice to have Jack again?"
44486Is n''t it so?
44486Is n''t it so?"
44486Is n''t it sweet?
44486Is n''t that Maud next him?
44486Is n''t the scene charming?"
44486Is there such a thing as a grilled bone?"
44486It is better to have that, is n''t it?
44486It was rather damping, was n''t it?
44486It would have been pleasant to have a countess''s corpse''s blood on your head, would n''t it?"
44486It''s an arful bore having to learn French, is n''t it?
44486It''s so awfully sad about Marguerite, is n''t it?
44486It''s very amusing, is n''t it?"
44486Jack was silent for a minute or two, then he said,--"What is the use of this, Dodo?
44486Jack who?''
44486Jack, I am yours-- will you come?"
44486Jack, do n''t you think I shall make an excellent matron?
44486Jack, do you like Edith?
44486Jack, have you been trying to steal the silver?
44486Jack, have you finished?
44486Jack, what do you mean by writing me such a stupid letter?
44486Jack, what will you do to me if I get bored when we''re married?"
44486Jack, why did you come here suggesting these horrible things?"
44486Jack, will you say grace?
44486Jack, you will make me very happy?
44486Kidneys do come from sheep, do n''t they?
44486Let''s see, how does the hoop figure go?"
44486Let''s see, whom do you know?
44486London was as bad as Dresden, and again, where was the harm?
44486Look at the sun through those fir- trees-- isn''t it lovely?
44486Maud, where are we lunching, and have you had a nice drive, and has Bertie been making love to you?
44486May I call?
44486May I come and see you to- morrow?"
44486May I introduce you to Miss Grantham?
44486May I tell Maud she may call you Cousin Jack?
44486May I tell everyone?
44486May you see?
44486Miss Staines?
44486Mr. Broxton, would you like me to push you off a gate?"
44486Mr. Featherstone had a habit of finishing all his sentences with"what?"
44486Mrs. Vivian came very soon after, and she offered to go for you, and met you in the Park, did n''t she?"
44486Mrs. Vivian will tell you all about those things, I suppose?"
44486Must I congratulate him?"
44486Must you wag it whenever you are pleased, Grantie?
44486No?
44486Now, Dodo, could I have done that after eating two poached eggs?"
44486Now, have you finished?
44486Oh yes, he was there; did n''t I say so?"
44486Oh, yes, this is the second act, is n''t it?
44486Or are you afraid of her too?"
44486Or is there a kidney tree?
44486Shall I black my face?
44486Shall I lie down on the floor for you to begin?"
44486Shall I want castanets?
44486Shall we tell Miss Grantham and Mr. Broxton our little secret, Maud?
44486Shall we turn?"
44486She does n''t know yet, I suppose?
44486She was engaged to Jack, was she?
44486She went to a garden- seat, and remained there in silence so long that the footman asked her:"Will there be an answer, my lady?
44486She wished to marry Jack, did she?
44486She''s a friend of yours; is n''t she, Nora?
44486Should I have been any kinder to-- to anybody?
44486Should I have been less objectionable when things went wrong?
44486So charming, is n''t he?
44486So you will, wo n''t you?
44486Sugar, Jack?
44486Suppose you only think you are pleased, when you are not really, what does the tail do then?
44486Supposing she wished to pick roses when you wanted to play lawn tennis?"
44486That is something-- isn''t it, Dodo?
44486The hunt itself does n''t begin till the 15th, does it?"
44486The marriage was a grand mistake, true, but given that, was not this simply so many weeks of unhappiness saved?
44486The question is,''Who is master?''
44486Then Bertie said,--"Do you want my advice?"
44486Then as an after- thought he inquired:"Whom to?"
44486Then he said,--"Dodo, is this irrevocable?
44486Then why not see her freely and frequently?
44486There''s no word for''thank you''in Spanish, is there, mother?
44486They are very unsafe, are n''t they?''"
44486This is your dance, is n''t it?
44486This, of course, led to his offering to go himself, and would Dodo come with him?
44486Tommy Ledgers, is n''t it?
44486Two lumps?
44486Vivian?"
44486Was Dodo''s apparent unconsciousness of the tenor of what he had said genuine or affected?
44486Was n''t it rude of him?"
44486Was not her daughter engaged to a marquis and a millionaire?
44486Was not her house going to be filled with the brightest and best of our land?
44486Was she a devil?
44486Was there any other possibility?
44486Was there any other reason?
44486We split over Calvinism-- who was Calvin?
44486We?"
44486Were you here with Charlie Broxton, Miss Staines?
44486What am I to do?"
44486What are you and Bertie sitting here for like two Patiences on monuments?
44486What are you so glum about?
44486What did all this imply?
44486What did it all mean?
44486What did you say to him?"
44486What do you suppose''Knocked''em in the Old Kent Road''means?
44486What do you want me to say?"
44486What good does it do anyone that I should suffer?"
44486What happens to the sheep after they take its kidneys out?
44486What has he done to have a title and fortune and Dodo that I have been given the chance to do?"
44486What is the good of it all, if I may n''t enjoy it?
44486What on earth have you got to say to him?"
44486What right had he to behave like this?
44486What shall I give you for a wedding present?
44486What should you like?
44486What time is it?
44486What was he that other men were not?
44486What was the position, after all?
44486What was the use of a conscience that took the sugar out of your tea, and yet could not prevent you from drinking it?
44486What was the use of all this retirement?
44486What''s that book, Maud?"
44486What''s that she''s playing?"
44486What''s the good of having friends if you do n''t trot them out?"
44486What?
44486When is Mr. Broxton leaving?"
44486When is it to be?"
44486Where are the others?
44486Where did you get it?
44486Where have you been?"
44486Where was the harm?
44486Where would it stop?
44486Where''s Chesterford?
44486Where''s the gravy spoon?
44486Who is that girl standing there with the poodle?
44486Who leads the cotillion with me?
44486Who wrote the Catechism?
44486Who''s that ringing at our door- bell?
44486Why ca n''t I even like him?
44486Why ca n''t I help hating him?
44486Why ca n''t I love him?
44486Why could n''t he have accepted the position sooner?
44486Why did n''t you come and see me this morning?
44486Why did n''t you come?"
44486Why did you say you did not care a pin what he thought?"
44486Why did you tell him to do that?"
44486Why do n''t they let you go out this lovely day?"
44486Why do n''t we have family prayers here?
44486Why does she say that sort of thing to me?
44486Why have you never asked her to stay here?
44486Why leave a creed that satisfies you?''
44486Why was the baby ever born?
44486Will he be with, you to- night?
44486Will he come early to- morrow?
44486Will ten suit you?
44486Will you come, Chesterford?
44486Will you forgive me?"
44486Will you give us the time, Professor?"
44486Will you ring for tea, dear?
44486Wo n''t it be lovely?
44486Would he like some beer first?
44486Would you have thought it reasonable if Chesterford had entreated me never to see you-- to keep away for God''s sake, as you said just now?"
44486Would you like to see her to- night?"
44486Would you like your wife to be the fashion?"
44486You are going off to- morrow, are n''t you?
44486You can get some cub- hunting, I suppose, Chesterford?
44486You could n''t eat poached eggs at a ball-- could you?
44486You could n''t wear it round your hat, could you?"
44486You do n''t mind my seeing him, do you, Chesterford?"
44486You do n''t want me not to go, dear, do you?"
44486You know her, do n''t you?
44486You start with it in the left hand, do n''t you?
44486You''d noticed the resemblance, no doubt?"
44486You''re a great friend of his, are n''t you?
44486You''re twenty- nine too, are n''t you?
44486Your opinion is fiction, but I am the fact on which it is founded, and what do you take me for?
44486is it true?"
44486or was she, after all, a woman?
44486rather than,"Why do n''t you behave like other people?"
44486she asked;"or would you rather stop out a little longer?"
44486was she a tiger?
56577A new will?
56577Adrian,Joanna called, whisperingly,"Adrian, is that you?"
56577Adrian? 56577 Adrian?
56577Adrian?
56577Ah, my poor friend, then all is well?
56577Ah, yes?
56577Am I not always ready to attempt the impossible for your sake, dear Mademoiselle?
56577And do you intend me to understand, Margaret, that you are desperately in love with Mr. Challoner in return?
56577And in addition to its other peculiarities is this famous country devoid of a postal system, may I ask?
56577And it hurts you?
56577And most convincing?
56577And pray, how far did you go with him?
56577And the first time?
56577And what became of the boy?
56577And why not? 56577 And you will come often to visit me?"
56577And, if I am Bibby Smyrthwaite, what the devil is that to you?
56577Are you executor?
56577Are you going again to exclude me, are you going to shut the door on me, because I have been that which you qualify by the word''impertinent''?
56577Are you not then sorry for me?
56577As far as they go? 56577 Beattie, Beattie?"
56577Been having the periodic rumpus with the maids again?
56577Both? 56577 But are these ladies really of flesh and blood?
56577But did n''t you get my note?
56577But how,_ chère Mademoiselle_, but how?
56577But if he should be dying? 56577 But need she embrace any cause?"
56577But not under compulsion, not out of pity?
56577But supposing,she said,"I really do n''t want a house at Marychurch at all-- what then?
56577But that reminds me-- speaking of Beattie, I mean-- what do you want done about the lease of this house? 56577 But what possible object could Haig have in repeating the story if it was n''t true?
56577But what would you have, dear cousin? 56577 But why should she fear to like me?"
56577But why?
56577But you admit, at least, that they are practically extremely impeding? 56577 But you forbid me to telephone, so how am I to communicate with you unless I write?
56577But, dear cousin,he said, in a mildly argumentative manner,"do n''t you emphasize the obligation of truth- telling unnecessarily?
56577But, dearest, most deeply valued friend, tell me, tell me, may I believe that she does then care?
56577But, my poor friend,she reasoned,"how is it possible for me to do that?"
56577But,Joanna protested, with a smoldering violence,"but if I am certain, morally certain, that my unfortunate brother is dead?"
56577Can you hesitate, Madame?
56577Communicated to your cousin, Mr. Savage, Miss Margaret Smyrthwaite?
56577Cousin Adrian,she said, hurriedly,"has any one ever told you-- do you know-- I think you ought to know-- about our brother William-- about Bibby?"
56577Dead? 56577 Desperately in love?"
56577Did I not tell you we are_ en fête_? 56577 Did I?
56577Did you not tell Miss Beauchamp you were going away?
56577Do n''t you good English people set an exaggerated value upon self- control, perhaps?
56577Do they? 56577 Do you not appear a little tired, a little pale?"
56577Do you?
56577Does n''t it stand to reason, since we are talking of true love?
56577Does n''t that follow as a matter of course-- a''necessary corollary,''as Joanna would say? 56577 Does not the difficulty of answering letters one has never received occur to you?"
56577For little girls?
56577Fred Lawley come up to the scratch yet?
56577Had neater and sweeter things to look up, eh, Colonel?
56577Has it ever occurred to you why we worship our mothers?
56577Have I not already commanded you to be silent? 56577 Have n''t we just concluded all that?"
56577He had no children, poor man?
56577How can I tell, how can I tell?
56577How did you know, or was it by chance that you came?
56577Hum-- hum-- is it as bad as that, then? 56577 I need not put it more plainly, need I?"
56577I only wanted to give you an instance-- Nannie, would you mind sitting down? 56577 I sincerely trust there is n''t any question of an inquiry?"
56577I-- insincere?
56577If I did not marry Adrian,she went on,"what then?
56577In good faith?
56577In the papers, do you mean?
56577Indeed?
56577Indeed?
56577Is it a fraud, a heartless experiment, coming to- day to see me thus? 56577 Is it any wonder after the painful fatigues of yesterday?
56577Is my father dead, then?
56577Is n''t there another rather obvious explanation of Madame St. Leger''s attitude-- the fear of liking you a little too much?
56577Is not marriage for me ancient history? 56577 Is not that precisely why you find me slightly vexatious, my dear Mr. Savage, that I am only too sincere, a veritable model of sincerity?"
56577Is one ever as devout, ever as patriotic, as one ought to be?
56577Is one so very sure they are the hands of the Almighty? 56577 Is she ill, then, poor lady, one of those pensive abstractions whom it has been your interesting mission to materialize and rejuvenate?"
56577It all goes to them?
56577Kindly take your dirty paw off my sleeve, will you? 56577 Kissing your hand-- do you mean?"
56577Madame St. Leger is not with them? 56577 Maggie, did you settle any dates to- night?
56577Mamma, dearest,little Bette whispered, politely,"I like it of course, but you will excuse me if I mention that you are squeezing me so very tight?"
56577Miss Smyrthwaite did n''t explain the nature of the alterations very fully then, I take it?
56577Monsieur will take command, he will intervene to help us? 56577 My dear lady, is it necessary to ask that question, in face of such remarkable charm and beauty?
56577Now does it occur to you why any other affair of the heart, in Mr. Savage''s case, is preposterous and unthinkable?
56577Oh, you did, did you?
56577One''s hand? 56577 Or as sincere?"
56577Pardon me, but in not forgiving them did he not himself, perhaps, commit the very gravest of all mistakes?
56577Rentoul Haig? 56577 Robin''s Rest-- why not Joseph''s Coat?"
56577Say, but you ca n''t leave me alone in this God- forsaken hole?
56577See then, M. Byewater, if you please, can you tell me the name of them? 56577 See, do not art, nature, the cumulative result of human experience, combine to discredit his methods and condemn his objects?"
56577Shall I tell you what the something was which so moved me?
56577She is very beautiful, is she not, my Madonna of the Future?
56577Since when have you taken to answering the front door yourself?
56577So long as that?
56577So that I may leave the stage conveniently clear for you,_ mon petit_?
56577So that''s the blooming name of the blooming place where your people live, is it? 56577 So you are going,_ mon vieux_?
56577That''s something new, is n''t it? 56577 The disposition of the property is intricate?"
56577The first time?
56577The gray mare is n''t the better horse yet awhile, eh, Miss Marion, your friends the suffragettes notwithstanding?
56577The ice is satisfactorily broken then? 56577 Then from the first, the very first,"she gasped,"did you never mean to marry me?"
56577Then nothing is changed-- nothing is altered between us?
56577Then where is your logic, where is your reason? 56577 Then you do n''t know about Madame St. Leger, Nannie?"
56577Then, then,René Dax cried,"since you acknowledge my power, will you consent to leave my Madonna alone?
56577There,he said, with a singular sly gleefulness,"there-- you see, Madame, behind the port folio- wagon?
56577Though if I were, I see no occasion for your scolding me about it, Nannie.--What does make you so restless and cross to- night? 56577 To me?
56577To-- to whom?
56577Umph-- and pray what, my dear, has that precious piece of information to do with it?
56577Unless what?
56577Useless?
56577We may consider the whole of our business concluded?
56577Well, why not? 56577 What did you suppose he''d been coming here for constantly?"
56577What do I know?
56577What earthly concern is it of yours? 56577 What further reason, that he, the janitor, otherwise Adrian the Magnificent, was away?"
56577What is the matter, Joanna?
56577What more have they to ask?
56577What on earth has Bee to do with it?
56577What was that?
56577What''s up with young Master Highty Tighty?
56577What, the deuce, does that matter to you?
56577What-- what precisely do you mean when you speak of his making love to you, Margaret?
56577Where did he go?
56577Who are you, what are you,he cried,"you mincing little devil?
56577Why could n''t you send Isherwood to say you wanted to speak to me? 56577 Why did n''t my instinct warn me, thick- headed fool that I am?
56577Why have you refused me? 56577 Why not admit that I was right in foretelling that you would find those shadowy ladies, and your mission to them, of absorbing interest?
56577Why should I talk now it''s no use?
56577Why the devil could n''t you leave me alone?
56577Why waste so much energy in the effort to maintain an appearance of Red Indian stoicism and impassivity? 56577 Why,_ ma toute belle_, is anything wrong?
56577Why? 56577 Why?
56577Why?
56577Will he recover?
56577With the Gallic cock set symbolic at the top of the flag- staff?
56577Yes and no?
56577Yes-- yes?
56577Yes?
56577Yes?
56577Yes?
56577Yet is it not unpardonable in any man to resemble the insufficiently fried section of a flat fish? 56577 You appreciate the force of that which I say regarding my mother and my little Bette?"
56577You are glad? 56577 You do n''t like it?
56577You had a deplorable crossing-- fog, coming into Calais? 56577 You have dropped him?
56577You have let Robin''s Rest, let our house, Joe, our own dear little house, without ever telling me? 56577 You have yourself visited the exhibition, dear Anastasia?"
56577You hold the property should remain in the family-- go to the direct heirs, the next of kin? 56577 You may have heard of the trouble we are in at the Tower House?"
56577You mean it is not me, but my fortune, Challoner is in love with? 56577 You mean that Miss Beauchamp does her best for me, too?"
56577You observe my drawing?
56577You say if I choose,he began;"but the question is, can I choose?
56577You think so?
56577You understand what I say? 56577 You will take Beattie over to Marychurch to look at the house?"
56577You wish me to understand that you believe me to be quite fairly honest and competent?
56577You''ll excuse me if I leave you, Colonel?
56577You''ll not forget to tell them about the broken glass?
56577You, Colonel?
56577_ Mon vieux_, is that you?
56577--Was it possible that Madame St. Leger''s repeated refusals to receive him were other than accidental?
56577And as sum total and result what remained?
56577And assuredly that is enough, and more than enough?
56577And how?
56577And in this, Gabrielle''s generation, how, save by experiment, could you possibly prove that independence might n''t very much pay?
56577And in what has this everlasting preaching of responsibility ended?
56577And pray what next?"
56577And so, like a dear, kind young man, you told him who everybody was?"
56577And then he proceeded to walk back with you, I suppose?"
56577And then-- yes and no-- what next?"
56577And to what extent would she make him pay?
56577And was n''t he, Adrian, consequently under a gigantic debt of gratitude to Horace for so speedily taking his departure and leaving the coast clear?
56577And what on earth does it all mean?
56577And when may we hope for the pleasure of seeing you again on this side of the silver strip?"
56577And when she had obtained this man''s confession?"
56577And who may your people be, if you please, and what is your business with them?"
56577And who, after all, would thank him?
56577And, after all, what simpler?
56577And, as against all these tragedies, to what does the other amount?
56577And, if I may be allowed one question more, has this very edifying piece of family news been communicated to Margaret?"
56577And, looking at the actual facts, was n''t the woman most to blame?
56577And, since then, was it not to him Gabrielle and her mother, Madame Vernois, had repeatedly turned for advice in matters of business?
56577And, with multiplied apologies, might he depend upon finding her alone?
56577And-- to carry the question a step farther-- did this connote corresponding ignorance on her part in other directions?
56577Are his articles so impossible?
56577Are n''t I my own master?"
56577Are not such tellings the delightful and perfectly legitimate small change of a gallant man''s affections?
56577Are there not circumstances which render connivance at suicide more than permissible?
56577Are you sure of your facts?"
56577As to René Dax''s exhibition?
56577Better?
56577Blind, deaf, maimed, impotent, yes-- yes-- is it not beyond all words magnificent?
56577But I told you in my note Bee was away to- night?"
56577But a proven case of death or only an accepted one?"
56577But from a woman-- surely it was different, permissible?
56577But have they ever been young?
56577But he found dozens of other women charming, and did not scruple to-- as good as-- tell them so.--Why not?
56577But how to make such a return?
56577But if it is true that he may die?
56577But in the summer I''d just as soon lie out.--Say, can I have the rest of the fowl?"
56577But in this case what reason?
56577But in what do these take their rise?
56577But just what will you tell them?"
56577But still in her room?
56577But supposing I do n''t like the house when I see it?
56577But to dote?
56577But was n''t that the best proof of the absence of danger?
56577But what about a second loveless marriage, made now in the full bloom of her womanhood?
56577But what if it were true?
56577But where is Colonel Haig now?"
56577But where''s the use of my taking extensive precautions to shield you if you go and invite gossip like this?"
56577But, in plain truth, what future remained?
56577Butchers, carrion- feeders, what can they tell me which I do not know already?
56577By being snubbed, depressed, depreciated, grumbled at, scolded, made to think meanly of herself?
56577Byewater?"
56577Byewater?"
56577Byewater?"
56577CHAPTER V PASSAGES FROM JOANNA SMYRTHWAITE''S LOCKED BOOK"You wo n''t go sitting up writing to- night, Miss Joanna?
56577Can I do otherwise, seeing how different my own prospects are?
56577Challoner?"
56577Challoner?"
56577Challoner?"
56577Could the servants have talked?
56577Dax?"
56577Dearest friend, you do not say to me both-- not both?"
56577Did I not read it all years ago, when I was still but an infant?"
56577Did it not stand for the loom upon which the whole pattern of her character and conduct was woven?
56577Did you see the lightning then?
56577Do n''t I see everything which is going?
56577Do not you think it would be rather dangerous to leave me here alone?
56577Do you follow me?"
56577Do you propose to disgrace me, as well as yourself, by fighting in the open street?
56577Do you suppose they have n''t tongues in their mouths or eyes in their heads?
56577Do you want to get rid of us?
56577Does n''t it occur to them that a young man, in his position, has affairs of his own in plenty to attend to?"
56577Does n''t it occur to you there are questions which one does n''t ask?"
56577Does n''t sound very substantial, does it?
56577Does that imply that I have stayed away too long?
56577For could this, which he had just asserted regarding himself, be asserted with equal truth regarding the Tadpole of genius?
56577For did they not really take things rather ridiculously hard, these excellent English people?
56577For here are we not all Feminists, every man- jack of us?
56577For it had come to that-- he had grown so ignominiously chicken- livered-- had he the pluck to go on or should he throw up the game?
56577For might n''t he take it as a fortunate omen that the proofs should come to hand on this so fortunate day?
56577For on second thoughts, were these psychologic determinations so well worth the practical cost of them?
56577For surely these showed handsomely on the credit side of his day''s pleasure?
56577For to what covert?
56577For was it conceivable that those two-- Margaret and Challoner-- in any degree shared, or affected to share, poor Joanna''s infatuated delusion?
56577For was it not idle to suppose that her husband differed from other men?
56577For was n''t_ la belle Gabrielle_, after all, his, and not Adrian''s, discovery?
56577For was not she intrinsically the product and exponent of the said tradition and system?
56577For what could, in point of fact, have happened previous to his arrival to produce so amazing a result?
56577For where exactly, in respect of the resistance of that beloved beleaguered city, did René come in?
56577For why should malice find entrance in this particular connection?
56577For why, in the name of diplomacy, of logic, of Eros himself, had Adrian Savage elected to vanish at this moment of all conceivable moments?
56577For why, of all days in the year, should he hear from Joanna to- day?
56577For, assuredly, the sentiment of this second and living picture of her was less abstract, more warm and directly human?
56577For, look at the ghastly episode what way you pleased, how could he be blamed for it?
56577For, of the two living persons whom she had recently come to hold dearest, was n''t the one changed and the other absent?
56577Go-- and never speak to me again about this-- never dare to do so-- never-- never-- do you hear?"
56577Had n''t he said no end of nasty things about his, Challoner''s, coming marriage?
56577Had n''t she run after him just all she knew how?
56577Had n''t she subjected him to a veritable persecution?
56577Had the cloud lifted, leaving his mind clear, permitting an interval of lucidity, of reason and normal thought?
56577Had the empty tabloid bottle and the tumbler with a film of white sediment clouding the inside of it, become a matter of common knowledge?
56577Had they no power of averaging, no little consolations of good- tempered philosophy?
56577Had they no sense of proportion?
56577Had universal paralysis seized the heart of things, she asked herself, of which this desert, voiceless Paris was the symbol?
56577Has Miss Smyrthwaite told you of the alteration she proposes making in her will?"
56577Have I not served for you,_ tres chère Madame_, a good seven years?"
56577Have n''t I as much right to the pavement as that liveried brute of yours?
56577Have you no real desire to console or bring me hope?"
56577Have you not then been with him all the time since we have last seen you?"
56577Have you now come to apologize?
56577He can not touch all my toys with his little cane and make them come alive?
56577He might have been weak, might have been a confounded fool even; but then, had n''t every man, worth the name, a soft side to him?
56577His cue was an intelligent exchange of ideas then?
56577How can we ever thank them sufficiently for this?
56577How can you do otherwise, since not only your sense of dramatic necessity but your goodness of heart will be engaged?
56577How can you know?"
56577How could he be certain, moreover, that it was for his sake, and not mainly for her own, she had sent that precious bit of millinery flying?
56577How could he consent to cut himself from all this and take Joanna''s meager and unlovely body in his arms?
56577How could one help being deceitful when one was always dodging some silly trumped- up fault- finding or bother?
56577How could such devotion fail to attract, fail to create a response?
56577How could they help doing so?
56577How dare René observe, still more how dare he record them?
56577How long do we keep you?"
56577How to effect her escape?
56577How to reform, to recreate, her attitude and outlook?
56577How to temporize until rescue should in some form come to her?
56577How was it possible to sear those poor eyes, extinguishing light in them forever by application of the white- hot iron of truth?
56577Hush?
56577I am at liberty to make this redistribution of my property?
56577I could not do otherwise than tell you of this unexpected journey, could I?
56577I intend to be my own mistress--""And his master?"
56577I never have understood your craze for hoarding--""But-- but-- Adrian?"
56577I said,''Where?''
56577I saw you droop, grow dejected, pull your beard, wipe your eyes, eh?
56577I shall be mad-- unless--"CHAPTER III IN WHICH THE STORM BREAKS"Unless-- unless-- what?"
56577I suppose, on the whole, I had better ask you to renew the lease for a year, or six months, unless-- unless--""Unless what?"
56577I was rewarded; for it knocked the bluster pretty effectually out of you, eh,_ mon vieux_?
56577If you accepted the latter, did negations and denials logically follow, compelling you to let the former go?
56577If you wo n''t take proper care of your own reputation I must take care of it for you-- isn''t that as clear as mud?"
56577In how far was he to blame?
56577In thus reviving painful memories do you not defeat the very object of my presence?"
56577Indeed, I appreciate that consideration, but while it causes me gratitude, it increases my regret.--You will not think me officious or intrusive?
56577Is gain of the abstract ever worth loss in the concrete?
56577Is it for long?
56577Is it not ravishing?"
56577Is it not the very height of ingratitude thus to cavil and to doubt?"
56577Is it not, therefore, inevitable that some should get off the true lines, and make mistakes injurious to themselves and lamentable to others?"
56577Is it original, startling, eh?
56577Is it such an unheard- of thing that he should wish me to marry him?"
56577Is n''t it all horrible enough already without you trying to scare me?
56577Is n''t that my acknowledged little hobby, my dear?
56577It is not true?
56577It occupied your time and thoughts to the exclusion of all else-- now, was it not so?
56577It was blitheringly silly, for, who the devil would be on the lookout for tracks?
56577Leger?"
56577Leger?"
56577Let it over my head?"
56577Let you know the date of the funeral?
56577Living in the midst of deceptions, what weapon except deceit-- and in this case deceit was tacit only-- remained to her?
56577Lord and Lady Baughurst-- why not?
56577Madame would write?
56577Marie?
56577Marry him?
56577May I soon come back?
56577Maybe you are not acquainted with his work, Madame St. Leger?
56577Might he call?
56577Might n''t the poor Tadpole know very much best what was best for him?
56577Morocco?
56577Morocco?
56577Mrs. Spencer began to speak, but he hulled down her voice by asking, rather loudly:"By the way, where is Miss Beattie?"
56577Must he, taking his courage rather brutally in both hands, disillusion her and risk the results of such disillusionment?
56577My ribs ache still.--There, Nannie, is that little sample of love- making illuminating enough?"
56577Nevertheless he hungered for first- hand news, thirsted for retailable detail; and who could supply these better than Challoner?
56577Not dislike of me?
56577Notwithstanding repudiation of sentiment, was the soft side still uppermost?
56577Now you promise you''ll ring, Miss Joanna, if you should feel nervous or poorly in the night?
56577Now, what about is the amount, approximately, I mean-- if you are free to tell me?"
56577Old age comes on apace, eh, Mrs. Gwynnie?
56577Omen that the story would strike home and its readers acclaim him as a doer of notable and living work?
56577Only let Monsieur look for himself, and declare whether a more verminous gaol- bird has ever been presented for his inspection?"
56577Only, pardon me, where on earth have you been?"
56577Or that his passion for her was unique, without predecessors?
56577Or would they, weakly faltering and failing, let it fall to the ground and be shattered?
56577Or, making allowance for his ill- health and acknowledged eccentricity, parley with and humor him?
56577Or, was it only that the instinct of self- preservation had taken-- as under the stress of poverty it almost must take-- a predatory form?
56577Ought you to undertake the exertion of receiving visitors?
56577Prejudice?
56577Quite sudden, was it-- quite unexpected?"
56577Really, I ca n''t see what you have to object to on the score of position, Joanna?
56577Really, it suited him to a tee, for had not his own poor little wife fallen a victim to the fell disease in question?
56577Remember all the Andrew Merriman business?"
56577Rentoul Haig?
56577Savage?"
56577Savage?"
56577Savage?"
56577Savage?"
56577Shall we go and see how they are getting on?
56577She was obliged to him, of course; yet, in honest truth, was she so very much pleased by his readiness to take the hint?
56577Should I prove presentable to the funny old gentlemen at the local club, or should I compromise him?
56577Should he push the construction of the new under- cliff drive, for instance?
56577Should she resent the said ways, soundly snubbing him?
56577So safeguarded, what, she asked herself, could disquiet her soul or harm her?
56577So-- well-- do you remark how I have changed my decorative scheme since you last visited me?
56577Some other plan to propose, did you say?
56577Stupid of me, was n''t it?
56577Such lamentable lapses will occur at times-- are there not, alas, members of the most respectable, the most distinguished, families who turn badly?
56577Support me.--Ah yes, in London you observed many changes?
56577Supposing I am really determined to stay on here at our dear old Robin''s Rest?"
56577Supposing I really prefer to remain at Stourmouth?
56577Surely she had exaggerated the disturbing influences which could be exercised by so quaint and relatively insignificant a creature?
56577Surely you must have seen, Nannie?
56577Surely, Madame, I need not explain to you any further?
56577Take all your famous heroes of history-- weren''t there funny little tales about every one of them, from the Royal Psalmist downward?
56577Tell you your way, you young fool, your way where?"
56577That horrible shrieking laughter was in his ears-- or was it only the squealing of the tortured rabbits?
56577That, in the first shock of the idea being presented to you, you should strongly express your alarm, your distaste?
56577The domestic hearth?
56577The eighteenth- century stage was many things which it had, no doubt, much better not have been, but was it heavy?
56577The old man cut up well?"
56577The sofa?
56577Then added,"I-- I am at liberty to mention this very interesting piece of information, Miss Beauchamp?"
56577Then what would she, Joanna, see?
56577Then, too, where does the benefit of increasing age come in unless you claim the privileges of indiscretion conferred by it?
56577Then--"Adrian stammered,"then you will marry me?"
56577There are plenty of cushions.--When Giovanni has filled the large bronze bowl-- you see which I mean-- there upon the ebony pedestal?"
56577There''s no help for that--""Magsie, you know her windows are open?
56577Therefore, for him, practically, what followed?
56577Therefore, until further developments declare themselves-- I beg your pardon?
56577Therefore, what had better happen?
56577They''re just, of course, part of the--""Whole show?"
56577Thus, taking up the tag- end of René Dax''s speech, she asked, unwillingly, almost fearfully:"Unless-- unless what?"
56577To reject such affection, is not that to throw away, in a sense, a positive fortune?
56577Unless, by chance, she was laughing at him out of her larger wisdom?
56577Upon my word, is it convincing?"
56577Was I not right?"
56577Was it conceivable his friend had turned traitor, had interfered, saying or hinting at that which might, socially, justify such denial of admission?
56577Was it conceivable that she craved to have that moment repeat itself?
56577Was it conceivable that she, Joanna-- of all created women-- was trying to buy him?
56577Was it possible they had some connection with Adrian''s absence?
56577Was it the price of her independence to hurt a faithful friend so sorely as all this?
56577Was n''t he very much a fool, then, for his pains?
56577Was n''t it just exactly the egregious Tadpole all over?
56577Was n''t it so?"
56577Was no marriage between the old Faith and the new science, the new democracy, possible?
56577Was not Stourmouth renowned as a health resort, and are not hospitals the accredited highroad to royal favor?
56577Was not the whole habit and conduct of her life vindicated, inasmuch as it led to this superb result?
56577Was she, Joanna, living in worlds very much unrealized, where all manner of things of primary importance remained unknown to or misinterpreted by her?
56577Was there any draftsman living who could compare with René Dax?
56577Was there no middle way?
56577Was this what Anastasia Beauchamp hinted at?
56577Well, did n''t he propose she should be, in a sense, just that-- his domestic and social centerpiece?
56577Were those poor hungry hands strong enough to close upon and hold it?
56577What about the British flag you waved so vigorously five minutes ago?"
56577What can have occurred?
56577What can one do?
56577What did this mean?
56577What had he done, by word, act, or look, to provoke or to foster Joanna''s most lamentable infatuation?
56577What is it, Joanna?"
56577What is this that I hear about our good, clever Mr. Stacpole''s leaving for New York?"
56577What more natural then than that you should recoil from the idea of his return?
56577What more, then, have the members of your adored sex to ask?"
56577What on earth, who on earth was the fellow?
56577What should he do?
56577What story was current in Stourmouth, he wondered?
56577What was there to show in the way of harvest for all that strenuous and painful sowing?
56577What were they all doing over there, the dear people whose friendship spelled for him more than half the joy of living?
56577What were we responsible for?
56577What, in the name of all which makes a man''s life worth living, did he care about the fate of that forbidding North African coast?
56577What-- because I definitely and irrevocably willed it-- must and should happen?
56577When may we expect you back?"
56577Where on earth does all her money go to?"
56577Where then can she be?"
56577Who among us is free from anxieties and troubles--_des ennuis_?
56577Who can do otherwise than behold with approval that smart, well- groomed, abundantly amatory, I grant you, but also abundantly chivalrous fowl?
56577Who were we responsible to?"
56577Why ca n''t you go away?"
56577Why can not I trust him more?
56577Why did n''t I get to that hateful carrion- bird''s roost of a studio an hour, half an hour earlier?
56577Why did you not write and tell me?"
56577Why fear to be human?
56577Why have you deprived us all of the joy of your superb musical gift?"
56577Why have you never let me see you?"
56577Why not?
56577Why not?
56577Why should I be otherwise?
56577Why should I not go, my dear fellow?
56577Why should the girls have all the stuff?"
56577Why should you interfere with me?
56577Why, Monsieur, could not this man of whom you tell me return your cousin''s great love?"
56577Why, and for what?
56577Why, at this eminently psychologic moment, was he not here?
56577Why, the dickens, had his great- aunt committed the maddening error of marrying into it?
56577Why?
56577Why?
56577Why?
56577Why?"
56577Will it be cruel and purposeless, too?
56577Will you consent not to make any further attempt to interfere between her and me, to pay court to and marry her?"
56577Would her daughter,_ la belle Gabrielle_, entertain it?
56577Would it trouble you too much to come into the library with me?
56577Would she be at home to- night after dinner, say about eight forty- five?
56577Yet how could I remain silent when all which affects you necessarily concerns me so profoundly?"
56577Yet was n''t it perfectly in the part?
56577Yet what more fatuous, what more execrably bad taste than to assume just that too much?
56577Yet, after all, what can one expect?
56577Yet, after all, why not?
56577You agree with me, Adrian?
56577You are William Smyrthwaite-- Bibby-- are you not?"
56577You are not acquainted with Chambéry, M. Byewater?
56577You can do quite nicely on that?"
56577You did not like them?"
56577You did not stay in town?
56577You do n''t mind my asking?"
56577You do n''t think we can be overheard?"
56577You do n''t want to commit social suicide, do you, and find every door shut in your face?
56577You express a pious hope further developments never will declare themselves?
56577You have seen those in the aquarium?
56577You know her affection for me?
56577You mourn her very truly, very much?"
56577You must be going, too, Colonel Haig?"
56577You permit me to speak quite freely?
56577You recognize it as unpardonable?
56577You say Margaret is quite composed now?
56577You think she will sleep?"
56577You will remain, yes?
56577You''re sure the door of-- of papa''s room is shut and locked?"
56577You-- you assent?"
56577_ ma toute belle_, how are you, and how is the poor, darling mother?
56577and can you not conceive it?
56577he exclaimed,"who has dared to offer her annoyance?"
56577how, without gross and really sickening cruelty, to dispel her disastrous delusion?
56577just Heaven-- and what things, then?"
56577my God-- but if it was true, if, as he claimed to be, he was her brother, how can I go to her with his blood on my hands?
56577my heart-- have I any left?
56577she said,"yes and no?
56577so you''re off at once then, are you?"
56577the good years, the good years,"she said,"when love and all the world is young!--May you believe that she cares, my dear boy?
56577these climbing roses, are they not ravishing?"
56577well that rests more with you than with me, does n''t it?
56577why did n''t I know?"
56577why, in Heaven''s name, did Adrian Savage absent himself?
56577why,"he added, as the sibylline countenance softened somewhat,"have you elected to let me, to let your many friends, remain in ignorance?
56577you decide to accompany me?
11720''He knows that you are ill, I suppose?'' 11720 A woman?"
11720Afraid of me, or of yourself, Marian?
11720Am I to conclude, then, that you were silent because you had nothing to communicate? 11720 Am I to read this?"
11720An old house in that lane across the way?
11720And I suppose all the letters for people in this neighbourhood pass through your hands?
11720And Miss Nowell-- what made her leave the cottage? 11720 And Mr. Holbrook was in debt when he married, I suppose?"
11720And Mr. Whitelaw will only lend the money upon one condition?
11720And Stephen; did you see him?
11720And about these other troubles, Mr. Saltram, which have no relation to money matters; you will not give me your confidence?
11720And am I never to hope that you will find some one else, better worthy of your regard than Marian Nowell?
11720And are the father and mother both dead?
11720And did you hear no more of your son after this?
11720And do none of you know why she went away, or where she has gone?
11720And do you believe that Mr. Nowell is still living to claim his inheritance?
11720And do you really love me?
11720And has your marriage brought you happiness, Marian?
11720And have you taken no further steps, no other means of communicating with her?
11720And he is really much better, quite out of danger? 11720 And he took that?--he wanted as much as that?"
11720And her father?
11720And how about Mrs. Branston, John? 11720 And how about Mrs. Branston?
11720And how do you know that she is with her father?
11720And how has it gone?
11720And if she happened to take your fancy, you would leave her all your money, I suppose?
11720And if she should die childless, I should get all the free- hold property?
11720And if you do n''t get the money from Stephen, what will happen?
11720And if, after infinite trouble, you should find her the wife of another man, what reward would you have for your wasted time and lost labour?
11720And it is a property of some importance, I conclude?
11720And she never seemed depressed or unhappy?
11720And she told them nothing of her intention to leave Lidford?
11720And she-- she forbade you to let me know of her safety? 11720 And the husband?"
11720And the lady is all that is charming, of course?
11720And this Mr. Holbrook is now Miss Nowell''s husband? 11720 And this fellow whom she has jilted is pretty well off, I suppose?"
11720And was there any satisfaction for you in the meeting?
11720And what has he done with the books?
11720And what took you into that quarter of the world?
11720And where''s this room where you say the woman is shut up?
11720And you can assure me that she is in good hands?
11720And you did n''t refuse him, Marian?
11720And you found your father waiting for you?
11720And you go back to Hampshire? 11720 And you have brought me news of my husband?
11720And you have really not been ill?
11720And you positively refuse to tell me where Mrs. Holbrook is to be found?
11720And you think he loved her, do n''t you?
11720And you think him a good man?
11720And you think she loves me, Jack?
11720And you will make it your business to look for her, sir?
11720And you will marry her, I suppose, Jack, as soon as her mourning is over?
11720And you will trust me better after that promise?
11720And you''d sell me to him for two hundred pounds, father?
11720And your own affairs, Jack-- how have they been going on?
11720And, Sarah,--was it you, Sarah? 11720 Are they living there still?"
11720Are you quite sure of that? 11720 Are you sure of that?"
11720But do n''t you think there may be a reason for Mrs. Pallinson''s dislike of my friend?
11720But how will you find him?
11720But how, if my daughter declines to see you, as she does most positively? 11720 But if the lady in question refuses to have anything to say to you?"
11720But is there to be no atonement for my broken life, rendered barren to me by this man''s act? 11720 But of course your client has been perfectly frank in her communications with you upon this subject?"
11720But the gospel was meant to be our guide in common things, was n''t it, Mrs. Pallinson? 11720 But the money, father-- the money for the crops-- how has it gone?
11720But there is some one else interested in an indirect manner I infer from your words?
11720But what have I to do with that?
11720But who are her people, and how did she fall into his hands?
11720But why should he have taken her away from this place in a secret manner?
11720But why withhold the father''s address?
11720But why, Belle?
11720But why, my dear?
11720But you like Mrs. Branston, do n''t you, Jack?
11720By what means do you hope to discover this?
11720By you, of course? 11720 By you?"
11720Can I do anything to ease you, Stephen?
11720Can I see the man who drove them?
11720Can not you be satisfied with knowing that she is happy?
11720Can you forgive my husband for his part in the wrong that has been done you? 11720 Can you tell me her father''s name?"
11720Can you tell me the name and address of her friends in London-- the young ladies with whom she went to school?
11720Could n''t you borrow it of some one else besides Stephen Whitelaw?
11720Could you believe that a man would be so childish, Gilbert?
11720Could you describe him?
11720DEAR SALTRAM( wrote the Baronet),--"What do you mean by this iniquitous conduct?
11720Did Mrs. Holbrook positively decline to see me?
11720Did he find anything?
11720Did he seem much agitated?
11720Did master hear it?
11720Did n''t I promise you that all would go well if you were patient? 11720 Did n''t I tell you so?"
11720Did no one come here yesterday to inquire for Mrs. Holbrook towards evening?
11720Did she drop no hint as to the whereabouts of this place to which they were going?
11720Did she ever tell you anything about Mr. Holbrook-- his position or profession? 11720 Did she mention me during the time that followed Captain Sedgewick''s death?"
11720Did she seem happy in her mind during that time?
11720Did the half- pay Captain teach her that, I wonder? 11720 Did you go to Wygrove, then?"
11720Did you imagine that I should rest until I had seen you once more, Marian? 11720 Did you please to wish to see the apartments, sir?"
11720Did you say there was no one in there-- no one?
11720Did you see Captain Sedgewick, or Marian, while you were down there?
11720Did you tell him about his wife''s good fortune-- the money left her by her grandfather?
11720Did you wish to look at anything in antique silver, sir?
11720Do I think she loves you? 11720 Do you know if he wrote books-- if he was what is called a literary man-- living by his pen?"
11720Do you know if these people at the Grange have had any one staying with them lately-- any lodgers?
11720Do you know of any place in the ownership of a gentleman who would be likely to lend his house to a friend?
11720Do you know where he was going?
11720Do you not consider the case rather an urgent one, Mr. Medler? 11720 Do you really think so?
11720Do you think that, Mr. Fenton? 11720 Does it really, my girl?
11720Does that young man expect you to leave him money? 11720 Does the doctor call it a dangerous case?"
11720Eh? 11720 Ellen, is it you?
11720For heaven''s sake, what do you mean, father? 11720 For no good, I should think,"replied Mrs. Tadman;"what should anybody give you money for?"
11720For what good?
11720Get downstairs, ca n''t you?
11720Gilbert,he said at last,"what have they done with my wife?
11720Gilbert,he said very quietly,"is it really you?"
11720Had Mrs. Holbrook anything valuable about her at the time of her disappearance?
11720Had he many books here?
11720Had n''t you better go and lie down a little, sir? 11720 Had there been any other influence at work, Marian?
11720Had they many visitors?
11720Has Mr. Saltram never been in his right senses since that day?
11720Have I been mad?
11720Have I not said that I am a poor man, hopelessly impoverished by your extravagance?
11720Have you any idea where they were going to live after their marriage?
11720Have you any idea who the lady is?
11720Have you any notion what the property is worth?
11720Have you any notion where Mrs. Holbrook or her father is to be found? 11720 Have you any reason to suppose your son still living?"
11720Have you seen Mrs. Holbrook since that morning when she left London for Hampshire, immediately after her grandfather''s death?
11720Have you seen her often since her husband''s death?
11720Have you seen him, Medler?
11720Have you seen much of your friend Mr. Saltram since Sunday?
11720Have_ you_ any fear that we shall not suit each other, Marian?
11720He came to ask you for money for his journey, did he not?
11720He does n''t suspect why you want it, does he, father?
11720He is living, then? 11720 He promised to pay you, of course?"
11720He was very angry, I suppose?
11720He''s not going to die, is he?
11720How can I do that, father?
11720How could I expect that he would care for me in the smallest degree, after his desertion of my mother?
11720How did she go? 11720 How did you find out that Marian was my wife?"
11720How is that? 11720 How is that?"
11720How long did he stay?
11720How long do you mean to stay in England?
11720How long is it since I''ve seen Mr. Nowell-- Mr. Percival Nowell, sir?
11720How long is it since you saw Mr. Nowell, your former employer''s son?
11720How so? 11720 How unfortunate?"
11720How was it that I never came across him?
11720I do n''t know about the wickedness of it,Mr. Whitelaw responded, with rather a sullen air;"a daughter is bound to obey her father, is n''t she?
11720I do n''t suppose my little girl ever showed you her mother''s jewel- case, did she, Gilbert?
11720I should say I have, sir, times and often since he''s been ill.''Marian, why do n''t you come to me?'' 11720 I suppose you know all about your grandfather''s will?"
11720If there should be no result from your advertisement, what will you do?
11720If you will be so kind as to tell me where they have gone?
11720In heaven''s name, what can have put such a preposterous notion into your head?
11720In what manner did this Mr. Holbrook impress you? 11720 In what way?"
11720In which room?
11720Including Martin, Belle, when he fell in love with your fair self?
11720Is it a novel?
11720Is it far from here?
11720Is it? 11720 Is n''t there?
11720Is she pretty?
11720Is that you, Gilbert? 11720 Is there anything amiss, Jack?"
11720Is there no other door to the room?
11720Is there no other way?
11720Is this love at first sight?
11720Is your late master''s granddaughter, Mrs. Holbrook, here?
11720It is no one whom I know, I suppose?
11720It is rather awful, is n''t it, for me to speak of marriage at all within a few months of my husband''s death? 11720 It''s a fine old place, is n''t it?"
11720John, what are you doing?
11720Left yesterday morning?
11720Let him do what? 11720 Like her?
11720Lord a mercy, mum, be that you?
11720Lord bless the girl, what need is there of all this talk about what she will be and what she wo n''t be? 11720 Marian, I thought you and I had no secrets from each other?"
11720Marian, have I done anything to forfeit your love?
11720Marian,he cried,"Marian, why have you left me?
11720My dear fellow, do n''t you see that it is fate, and not Mr. Holbrook, that has done you this wrong? 11720 My dear uncle, what is the matter?"
11720My husband has been dead ever so long now, and what need have we to study the opinion of the world so much? 11720 Need n''t I?
11720Not in love yet, John?
11720Not often since your master''s death: but how often before?
11720O, how did you find this place? 11720 O, it''s you, is it, sir?"
11720O, you do n''t, do n''t you, Miss Impudence? 11720 Ought not Mrs. Holbrook to have remained to hear the reading of the will?"
11720Safe? 11720 Seen your son lately?
11720Shall you consider it your duty to seek out or advertise for Percival Nowell?
11720She did n''t reject you?
11720She had a watch and chain, I suppose?
11720She has been placed in possession of her property, I suppose?
11720She is safe-- then all this alarm has been needless? 11720 She is well?"
11720She said that-- my wife told you that?
11720Sir David?
11720Sir,exclaimed Percival indignantly,"do you imagine me capable of speculating upon the untimely death of my only child?"
11720So she''s gone to America with her father, has she?
11720So soon?
11720So soon?
11720Stephen,she cried, half awake and very much, frightened,"what was that?"
11720Strange, is it not?
11720Surely your agent could get some information out of Medler''s clerk; it''s in his trade to do that kind of thing, is n''t it?
11720That young man lives in the house with you, I suppose?
11720The river has been dragged, I suppose?
11720The west wing,he muttered;"is that burnt?"
11720Then he is really the only person who could profit by her death?
11720Then how should I, mum? 11720 Then it would be easiest to get in that way?"
11720Then why do you say these things to me? 11720 Then you apprehend danger?"
11720Then you do not know where she went on leaving this place?
11720Then you fancy there is a good bit of money in question?
11720Then you know how deeply he sinned against you, and how much he valued your friendship? 11720 Then your father had slept at Malsham the night before?"
11720There is no one except Mrs. Holbrook interested in Mr. Nowell''s will, I suppose?
11720There is no particular person whom you suspect?
11720They are not very brilliant, are they? 11720 This Mr. Holbrook was very fond of her, I suppose?"
11720This is strange news,he said,"and it will cause the postponement of your marriage, I suppose?"
11720To her father? 11720 To- night?
11720Very ill-- that means dangerously ill?
11720Very young?
11720Was Miss Nowell long at Wygrove before her marriage?
11720Was it either of you girls that screamed just now?
11720We never heard you come in, and when the bell rung----"Is Mr. Saltram worse?
11720Well, Gilbert, old fellow, what do you think of the lady?
11720Well, John?
11720Well, you silly girl, he would n''t use the room if he thought it was haunted, would he? 11720 Well,"said this gentleman, in his usual off- hand manner,"how''s the governor?"
11720Were you wishing to make any inquiries about the last occupants of Hazel Cottage, sir?
11720What a spirited one she is, ai n''t she, now?
11720What am I to tell your grandfather when I see him?
11720What am I, that I should measure the force of his temptation,he said to himself,"or the strength of his resistance?
11720What can I do for you this evening?
11720What can the police do more than you or I? 11720 What did he say to that?"
11720What do you mean by that?
11720What do you mean?
11720What do you say to three hundred acres-- over three hundred, nigher to four perhaps?
11720What fancies?
11720What good can arise out of any discussion of this subject, Belle? 11720 What good can come of that?"
11720What good use have I made of my life in the past, Gilbert?
11720What ground have you for such an idea?
11720What grounds have you for supposing his guilt possible?
11720What have I done with her? 11720 What have you done with her?"
11720What influence?
11720What is that, my darling?
11720What is that?
11720What is the business?
11720What is the matter, Gil?
11720What is the wrong that she has done you?
11720What kind of a place is Crosber?
11720What makes you suppose that I have any knowledge of him?
11720What of her husband? 11720 What should we scream for?
11720What strange gentleman?
11720What things?
11720What warrant have you for all those things? 11720 What was that man here for, then, Stephen?
11720What was that?
11720What was that?
11720What would he care for that? 11720 What young lady?"
11720What''s put that stuff in your head?
11720What''s that to you? 11720 What''s that to you?
11720What''s the matter?
11720What, are you afraid of me? 11720 What, child?"
11720What, have you never been here?
11720Whatever could go to put it in your head as it was me?
11720When did he come here last?
11720When shall I see you again?
11720When will she come?
11720Where did she go?
11720Where is she?
11720Where shall I tell the man to drive, mum?
11720Where would you advise me to take him?
11720Whereabouts?
11720Who betrayed my secret?
11720Who can tell what he may suspect? 11720 Who else is there that would lend me two hundred pounds?
11720Who else was there? 11720 Who is going to tamper with it?"
11720Who is it? 11720 Who is the lady?"
11720Who told you that I have money to leave?
11720Who told you that I have not forgotten her?
11720Who told you that?
11720Who was it that screamed just now? 11720 Who''s that?"
11720Who''s that?
11720Why not, pray?
11720Why should I do so?
11720Why should I do that?
11720Why should he want me out of the room? 11720 Why should she wish to hide herself from me?
11720Why should you doubt that?
11720Why so, Gilbert?
11720Why the---- have n''t you got a fire here?
11720Why was that, Marian?
11720Why will he not accept the smallest favour from me?
11720Why, dear uncle?
11720Why, my goodness, who can that be?
11720Why, what could have taken you that way, Gilbert?
11720Will she come to me, do you think?
11720Will she?
11720Will you be so good as to shut that door, sir, quite securely?
11720Will you give me your word of honour that Marian''s husband and John Saltram are not one and the same person?
11720Will you step upstairs and ask her to come down to me?
11720Will you tell me if she is in London?
11720Will you tell me what they were like?
11720Will you tell me what this Holbrook is like in person, Sir David? 11720 Will you try to forgive my husband also?"
11720Wo n''t you stop and take some luncheon? 11720 Would it break your heart if I were to recall my promise, Gilbert?"
11720Would it not be a good plan to put an advertisement into the_ Times_, addressed to Mrs. Holbrook, from a relation? 11720 Would you, my lass?"
11720Yes, John; and what is left for the living when that burial is over? 11720 Yes,"he muttered;"come along, ca n''t you?
11720Yet you can positively assure me that she is in safety-- her own mistress-- happy?
11720You believe this man, Gilbert?
11720You came to town alone, Marian?
11720You do n''t know who this Mr. Holbrook is?
11720You do n''t mind my reading your father''s letters, Marian?
11720You do not know where she is?
11720You have a very high opinion of him, I suppose?
11720You have done well out yonder, I hope, Gilbert?
11720You have heard nothing of him, then, I presume?
11720You have looked for that letter, I suppose?
11720You have never taken any measures for finding him?
11720You have not been to Lidford since I left England, I suppose?
11720You have talked of a physician, Mr. Mew; would it not be well to call one in immediately?
11720You know me, do n''t you-- the man who was once your friend, Gilbert Fenton?
11720You mean to remain until the funeral is over, I suppose?
11720You suspect some unknown rival?
11720You think not?
11720You were upstairs with your master? 11720 You will not allow him to do so, I hope?"
11720You would do what, John?
11720Your own experience has been unfortunate, then? 11720 Your superior in years, I know, but in what else?"
11720Your wife? 11720 _ You_ heard me, Ellen?
11720''My fortune?''
11720A woman?
11720Against your own sense of right?"
11720Am I dead, and parted from her?
11720And I have been thinking, Jack, that you might run down to Liverpool with me to- morrow, and see the last of me, eh, old fellow?"
11720And after that?
11720And did you hear nothing?
11720And do you know that she is not really my niece-- only a poor waif that I adopted fourteen years ago?"
11720And his face-- what was it in his face that startled her with such a sudden sense of strangeness and yet of familiarity?
11720And how has the poor dear been while I was away?"
11720And how has the world been going with you, Gilbert?
11720And if I should die before my grandchild comes to me, you will see that she has her rights, wo n''t you?
11720And if it was an appointment with any one belonging to Malsham, why could n''t it have stood over till Saturday?
11720And in the event of your granddaughter dying without children, would n''t you rather let the estate go to your son?"
11720And now, what is this care of yours, Mr. Fenton?
11720And the children of Israel-- have they not been clamorous?
11720And then, after a pause, he asked himself,"What could he want with Mrs. Branston, at a time when every moment was precious?
11720And to think that I, who thought myself so strong in the wisdom of the world, should have let such a prize slip through my fingers?
11720And was the rustic business pleasant, Gil?
11720And what does he want to see the house for, I should like to know?
11720And what then, my dear sir?"
11720And when did he come back?"
11720And who else is there?
11720And without such a marriage, what would be her fate when I am gone?
11720And yet how many people are happy in it?
11720And yet what else do I know of her?
11720And yet who could have thought that things would have gone against me as they did?
11720And you and Mr. Saltram have been friends all that time?
11720And you are really going to marry a girl with this disreputable mystery about her belongings?"
11720And you are very angry with her, of course?"
11720And you call that being in good hands, Mr. Medler?
11720And you do believe that I''m sorry for you, do n''t you?"
11720And you expect to retain your place here, I suppose, if the business is carried on?"
11720And you think that Mr. Saltram will be steady when he is married?
11720And you were not dull at Lidford?"
11720And you will take care of him, Mr. Fenton, will you not?"
11720Are you crazy, girl?
11720Are you mad, Stephen?"
11720Are you really in love with her, John?"
11720As bad as that?
11720Because she is lovely?
11720Branston?"
11720But John Saltram, what of him?
11720But if it should come to this-- don''t you understand?
11720But in the first place, I want to know by what right you stole my wife away from her home-- by what right you brought her on this voyage?"
11720But shall I find the old man alive?
11720But what could he want there?"
11720But what face?
11720But what have you been doing since I saw you last?"
11720But why can not I be your friend, Marian?"
11720But why did he not come with you to- day?
11720But why not in that direction, Belle?
11720But you have not forgotten me, I hope?"
11720But you wo n''t tell Mrs. Holbrook that, sir?"
11720By the way, have you seen anything lately of that old man you told me about-- Miss Nowell''s grandfather?"
11720By the way, is not that Sir David Forster''s place?"
11720By what right could he interfere in the conduct of her affairs?
11720By what right do you call yourself my daughter''s husband?
11720Can I ever be less than her lover, I wonder?
11720Can you be his friend, knowing what he has done?"
11720Can you give me house- room here for a night or two, or shall I put up at Crosber?"
11720Can you name any other advantages which she possesses?"
11720Can you suggest no one from whom I am likely to obtain information?"
11720Come, Nell, you''re not going against your father, are you?"
11720Could he doubt that this energetic warm- hearted girl was right, and that some foul deed had been done, of which Marian Holbrook was the victim?
11720Could he, or could he not endure the strain that he had put upon himself within the last eight- and- forty hours?
11720Did I ever say that you came between me and fortune-- was I mean enough, base enough, ever to say that?
11720Did John Saltram really mean to follow those two to Liverpool, I wonder?
11720Did he really wish her to be happy-- happy with the rival he so fiercely hated?
11720Did he strike you as worthy of her?"
11720Did she go of her own free will?"
11720Did she know any one, a stranger, sojourning in that neighbourhood called Holbrook?
11720Did she know that I was ill, and yet stayed away from me?"
11720Did you happen to meet him while you were down there?"
11720Did you hear him just now?
11720Did you suppose I should submit to lose you without hearing from your own lips why I have been so unfortunate?"
11720Did you take any particular notice of them?"
11720Did you wish to see the lady?"
11720Do the doctors say that?"
11720Do you know anything of the detective force?"
11720Do you know of any one else whom she may have liked better than me-- any one whose influence may have governed her at the time she left Lidford?"
11720Do you know the size of Stephen Whitelaw''s farm?"
11720Do you mean a big old- fashioned house standing far back in a garden?"
11720Do you mean to say that my friend Mr. Saltram went to London?"
11720Do you think I could get over next Christmas with them as I''ve got?"
11720Do you think I should sit idly here, if the best measures had not been taken to find your wife?"
11720Do you think that John Saltram has some secret love- affair upon his mind?"
11720Do you want to break my heart?"
11720Do you want to make a scene, and render yourself ridiculous to every one here?
11720Do you wish to see him?"
11720Ellen asked at last, in a plaintive despairing tone;"no other way, father?"
11720Fenton?"
11720Fenton?"
11720Fenton?"
11720For what?
11720Friendship, brotherly affection, those chastened sentiments which he had fancied had superseded all warmer feelings-- where were they now?
11720From the station here?"
11720Gilbert asked again;"what of him?"
11720Gilbert exclaimed in blank amazement;"when?"
11720Go to him at once, and tell him my suspicion, tax him broadly with treachery, and force him to a direct confession or denial?
11720Good gracious me, is the lady in number 7 your wife?
11720Had he been really as confident as he had seemed, as the days had gone by, one after another, without bringing him any tidings of her?
11720Had he hidden her away for some secret reason of his own, and then acted out the play by pretending to search for her?
11720Had he much reason to doubt two minutes afterwards, when John Saltram raised himself on his gaunt arm, and looked piteously round the room?
11720Had he not dreamed of a bright home which was to be his at this time, a home beautified by the presence of the woman he loved?
11720Had his chosen friend-- the man he loved so well-- been able to enlighten him, and had he coldly withheld his knowledge?
11720Had she been mistaken about this man all the time?
11720Had she ever seen him before?
11720Had you seen your husband, Mr. Holbrook, at that time?"
11720Hard lines, is n''t it, Jack?"
11720Has he been delirious to- day?"
11720Has he been long ill?"
11720Has the lady gray eyes, and dark- brown hair, and a very bright expressive face?"
11720Have n''t you found him so?"
11720Have n''t you something pleasant to tell your old uncle-- something that a girl generally likes telling?
11720Have you any notion to whom it belongs, or who lives there?"
11720Have you any wish that she should be found?"
11720Have you ever brought her here?
11720Have you ever given her a wife''s license, or a wife''s place?
11720Have you ever heard that?"
11720Have you gone crazy, you old fool?"
11720Have you got the key?"
11720Have you never seen my face before?"
11720He has done so, I presume?"
11720He liked her uncle; what more natural than that he should like that gallant soldier, whom Marian adored as the first of mankind?
11720He was at home and alone, the boy told her; would she please to send in her card?
11720He was expected on this particular afternoon, you say?"
11720He will come again to- day, I suppose?"
11720His youth was fast going-- nay, had it not indeed gone from him for ever?
11720Holbrook?"
11720Holbrook?"
11720Holbrook?"
11720Holbrook?"
11720Holbrook?"
11720Holbrook?"
11720Holbrook?"
11720Holbrook?"
11720How am I to bear it?"
11720How can you explain her abrupt flight from him in the face of this?"
11720How can you suppose me so blind as not to understand that?
11720How did Mrs. Holbrook leave this place?
11720How has the world gone with you since we parted at Liverpool last year?"
11720How have I lived, Gilbert?
11720How have the current expenses of my illness been paid?
11720How is it that my vile carcass is not in their hands?"
11720How many lies have you not told to hide that which any honest man would have been proud to confess to all the world?"
11720How many weeks and days?"
11720How soon would he be able to answer that question?
11720How was he to tell her?
11720I am not to see her then, I suppose; not to be told her address?"
11720I did n''t ask you to love me, did I?
11720I fear I was right; you have been ill, have you not?"
11720I seem almost a stranger to you, perhaps?"
11720I suppose she''s some relation of yours, by- the- bye, sir, judging by the interest you seem to take in her affairs?"
11720I thought Mr. Holbrook was quite unknown to you?"
11720I want to know whether Jacob Nowell is still living?"
11720I wonder what his only son will say to that,"added Mr. Tulliver, looking very curiously at Percival Nowell,"supposing him to be alive?
11720I wonder whether the fulfilment of one''s heart''s desire ever does bring perfect contentment?
11720If his successful rival had been indeed a stranger to him, what reason could there be for so much mystery in the circumstances of the marriage?
11720If this man Holbrook were indeed a friend of Sir David Forster''s, how did it happen that John Saltram had failed to recognize his name?
11720If you are not in a very great hurry, would you mind getting into the carriage, and letting me drive you round the Park?
11720In what respect did I deceive you?"
11720Is he still living?"
11720Is it all in hard cash?"
11720Is she as charming as ever?"
11720Is that such a common quality, I wonder?
11720Is the man dark or fair-- short or tall?"
11720Is the name quite strange to yourself?"
11720Is there a ladder anywhere?"
11720Is there any doubt as to the lady''s fortune?"
11720Is there any special objection to the lady?"
11720Is there anything wrong to- night?"
11720Is this death?
11720It must have woke you, did n''t it?"
11720It seems like madness, does it not?
11720It was Christian charity, eh, Gilbert?
11720It was not the act of a friend?"
11720John Saltram, as you have a soul to be saved, what have you done with Marian-- with-- your wife?"
11720Long ago, or only very lately?
11720Marian?"
11720Marry a man she disliked?
11720Might it not rather proceed from some secret trouble of mind, some hidden care?"
11720Monday shall we say, or Sunday?
11720Not much vigour in my biceps now, eh?"
11720Nowell?"
11720O God, how many months have I been lying here?
11720O, Marian, Marian, why were you not more candid?"
11720O, my God, what was that happened before I was ill?
11720O, my love, my love, why did you forsake me so cruelly?
11720O, she''s too grand a person to be talked of by such as me, is she?
11720Oh, do n''t you think the men could get to my room and save it?"
11720One of the servants, do you mean?"
11720Or shall I bide my time, wait and watch with dull dogged patience, till I can collect some evidence of his guilt?
11720Rather hard upon him, is n''t it?"
11720Saltram?"
11720Shall I do this?
11720Shall I fetch the steward for you?"
11720Shall we push on there this afternoon?"
11720She is an amiable girl; I have nothing to say against her-- but----""But what, Belle?"
11720She is at home, I suppose?"
11720She is married to some one else, then, I suppose?"
11720She is still at Lidford, I suppose?"
11720She was a lone unprotected woman, and how was she to pay her rent and taxes if her best floor was occupied by a non- paying tenant?
11720She was willing that I should suffer all the anguish of uncertainty as to her fate?
11720Sir David asked presently;"and how can I be of use to you?"
11720So, my dear Mr. Carley, if you have_ no_ objection----""Steph,"said the bailiff abruptly,"do_ you_ want me out of the room?
11720Strange, is n''t it, for a man with all that money to have lived such a life as your father''s?"
11720Tadman?"
11720Tadman?"
11720Tadman?"
11720Tell me, my darling, is there any hope for me?"
11720That is rather strange, is n''t it?"
11720That was a different thing, of course; yet was it likely this man could have returned, and his father''s lawyer have remained ignorant of his arrival?
11720That''s rather a queer start, ai n''t it, Nell?"
11720That''s rather quick work, is n''t it, dear boy?"
11720The woman must surely be dead, or why should he have taken such pains to cover her face?
11720Then you do not know----""I do not know what?"
11720Then you really admire the little woman, Gilbert?"
11720To what part of Hampshire?"
11720Tulliver?"
11720Was her disappearance any work of his, after all?
11720Was it any touch of real feeling, or only selfish apprehension, that quickened its throbbing?
11720Was it not at the hazard of his life that he had gone upon this sudden journey, reckless and excited, in a fever of hope and delight?
11720Was it not enough to know that this girl had broken faith with you?
11720Was it not likely to be a Midlandshire man who had lent Marian''s husband his house?
11720Was it possible, looking at the business from a darker point of view, to imagine any guilty reason for the carrying out of such a plot?
11720Was it real?"
11720Was it strange if John Saltram had fallen in love with her?
11720Was it worth living, that monotonous business life of his?
11720Was she not his goods, his chattels, bought with a price, as much as a horse at a fair?
11720Was she not his wife-- his very own-- powerless to hold him at bay in this manner?
11720Was that real, Gilbert?
11720Was the body only crushed by the burden of the mind?
11720Was there any result?"
11720We shall be so pleased to see you; you will name an early day, wo n''t you?
11720Were poverty and obscurity hard things to bear for you?
11720Were they all united in treachery against him?
11720What am I to think, what am I to believe?"
11720What can I say?
11720What can I think, except that you are one of the most generous of women?"
11720What can he think worse of me than that?
11720What can this house matter to him, unless he was going to buy it?
11720What could I do, Nelly?
11720What could Stephen want with him?
11720What could he do less than friendship would have done, although his affection for this old friend of his youth had perished for evermore?
11720What could people living in such a place as this know of her whom he sought?
11720What could she have said to him if she had been compelled to tell him of her engagement to Stephen Whitelaw?
11720What could she say to him?
11720What did it matter where he was, if she were with him?
11720What did you show him the house for?
11720What do you mean by that?"
11720What do you think of it?"
11720What does he come here for, with his masterful ways, unless it''s to turn us out of house and home?
11720What excuse could she have made for marrying a man about whom she had been wo nt to express herself to Frank Randall in most unequivocal terms?
11720What fear is there of your being sent to prison, because I wo n''t marry Stephen Whitelaw?
11720What had I done to merit your desertion of me?"
11720What had he done with Marian?
11720What had he done with Marian?
11720What have you been doing all this time, and where have you been?"
11720What if she were to call upon Mr. Saltram at his Temple chambers?
11720What if this man Medler had been lying to him from first to last, and was plotting to get old Jacob Nowell''s fortune into his own hands?
11720What interest can you possibly feel in his affairs?"
11720What is her surname, by the way?"
11720What is it Lady Macbeth says?
11720What is this business about which your solicitor bothers you?"
11720What more could he have demanded from her?
11720What more natural than that she should make such a mistake, at a place with such deficient postal arrangements as those which obtained at Lidford?
11720What motive could he have for such a thing?
11720What shall I do?
11720What was he there for?
11720What was it to be?
11720What was more natural than that John Saltram should have found his doom, as he had found it, unthought of, undreamed of, swift, and fatal?
11720What was the use of her fortune, if she could not employ it for the relief of the man she loved?
11720What was the use of paying first- class fare on board a first- class vessel, if one were subject to annoyance of this sort?
11720What was there she would not do for the love of that dearest and noblest of men?
11720What would a man of your age be without some kind of career?
11720What would a weak inexperienced woman be between two such men?
11720What''s the good of my muddling my brains with figures to- night?
11720What, in heaven''s name, are you talking of?"
11720When did Percival Nowell come to England?"
11720When did he die?"
11720When do you sail?"
11720When do you think of going back to Lidford?"
11720When shall I be strong enough to travel?--to- morrow, or if not to- morrow, the next day; surely the next day-- eh, Gilbert?"
11720When will you go down to Rivercombe?"
11720Where and when?
11720Where had she seen him before?
11720Where was Marian Holbrook, that new- found friend whom she had loved so well, and whose fate remained so profound a mystery?
11720Where''s Steph?"
11720Where?"
11720Who could have brought this cruelty about?
11720Who could this John Holbrook be?
11720Who else could have had sufficient power over her to beguile her away from her home?
11720Who else is there to get it?
11720Who else was interested in doing her any wrong?
11720Who should be shut up there, and you live in the house and not know it?
11720Who should say that he had not taken some iniquitous means to rid himself of the tie that had grown troublesome to him?
11720Who should say that such an interval would not come, or who could tell what such an interval might reveal?
11720Who should say which?
11720Who''s been hurt?"
11720Whom next could he question?
11720Why can not you be truly generous, Gilbert, and pardon him?
11720Why did money pass from him to you?
11720Why did you come?"
11720Why do you never call upon me?"
11720Why does he not trust me a little more?"
11720Why does n''t he come to me?
11720Why has she been kept away from me?"
11720Why is it?
11720Why is not your husband with you, by the bye?"
11720Why should Stephen hide any one in his house?
11720Why should he want to show the place to a stranger?
11720Why should she not come to me here?
11720Why should we delay longer than to make all necessary arrangements?
11720Why should you not go in for this thing, Gil?"
11720Why was it that you never wrote to me to tell me the complete change in your feelings?"
11720Why waste any further emotion in regrets that are as useless as they are foolish?"
11720Why wo n''t you trust me?
11720Why, how should she know anything about it?
11720Why, surely, Gil, that is not a question upon which you want another man''s judgment?"
11720Will marriage, or custom, or the assurance that we belong to each other for the rest of our days, take the poetry out of our lives?
11720Will that suit you?"
11720Will you be so kind as to step inside?"
11720Will you come and smoke your cigar with me to- night?
11720Will you come too?
11720Will you dine with me at the Pnyx at seven to- night?
11720Will you insert an advertisement in the_ Times_, Gilbert, under initials, telling her of my illness, and entreating her to come to me?"
11720Will you tell me who and what he is-- his position in the world, and so on?"
11720With what end?"
11720Wo n''t you be pleased to take a seat?"
11720Wo n''t you try to save her?"
11720Would anything else keep her from me when I call for her, the poor child that loved me so well?
11720Would not the time soon come in which its dreariness would oppress him as the dulness of Lidford House had oppressed him to- night?
11720Would not the very fact of this desolation coming to her from his lips be sufficient to make him hateful to her in all the days to come?
11720You are aware that a letter reached her a few hours before she left Hampshire?
11720You did not meet the husband, then, I suppose?"
11720You had it, have n''t you?"
11720You have abandoned those revengeful intentions you appeared to entertain, when you were last in this house?"
11720You have advertised, of course?"
11720You have seen her?"
11720You have seen or heard from them since the funeral, I suppose?"
11720You have told him about me, I suppose?"
11720You mean to say you think she''s alive, then?"
11720You remember my asking you if you had ever heard the name of Holbrook before your hunt after Marian''s husband?
11720You were there?"
11720You will let me go to her, Gilbert, the instant I am able to travel, as soon as I can drag myself anyhow from this bed to the railway?
11720You will not stand between me and my love?"
11720You will take care that she is not cheated by her husband, or by any one else?"
11720You wo n''t squander the money, will you, my dear, as your father would, if it were left to him?"
11720You''d rather see your father in gaol, I suppose, if it came to that?"
11720Your father has n''t been deceiving me, has he?"
11720and does he look upon me as a possible rival?"
11720and have you no pity for the fate of your wife, no interest in the life of your only child?"
11720and how can he help thinking that?
11720and what do you want?"
11720and what has Stephen Whitelaw done with his money?
11720and why do you suspect that any harm has befallen her?"
11720and why should Marian have so carefully avoided telling him anything about her husband?
11720and why should he grudge her the inheritance of his wealth?
11720and you want to know who he is?
11720are there many so luckless as to love once and once only, and who, setting all their hopes upon one cast, lose all if that be fatal?"
11720can all the memory of the past plead with me for him when I think of these things?
11720cried Mr. Whitelaw savagely,"and a drunken old fool into the bargain.--Why do you let her muddle herself with the gin- bottle like that, Ellen?
11720cried his wife reproachfully,"how could you ever consent to such a wicked thing?"
11720demanded the other bitterly;"and what have I to look forward to in the future?
11720exclaimed the Captain;"then you have never seen Heatherly, I suppose?"
11720had there been no shapeless terror in his mind, no dark dread that when the knowledge came, it might be something worse than ignorance?
11720he asked at last;"why does n''t she come to me?
11720he cried,"do you mean to say that you have solved the mystery of Marian Holbrook''s fate?
11720he exclaimed, with undisguised disappointment,"it''s you, is it, sir?
11720he exclaimed;"she is with Mr. Nowell-- the father who neglected her in her youth, who of course seeks her now only for the sake of her fortune?
11720how and where they had first met?"
11720how could you, and with another man''s money?"
11720how long she had known him?
11720how many take the right road?
11720muttered Gilbert,"is this man the blackest villain that ever cumbered the earth?
11720or did you find life rather dull down at Lidford?
11720or does church- going, and psalm- singing, and Bible- reading come natural to all women?
11720or hire you for that, or pay you for it?
11720or only a part of my delirium?
11720or what power could Marian have, once under her father''s influence, to resist his will?
11720or would he ever be able to answer it?
11720she exclaimed,"am I set free?"
11720she said, in a frightened, breathless way;"did you hear that?"
11720that you know her to be alive-- safe-- well, and have kept back the knowledge from me?"
11720travel to America in his weak state of health?"
11720what claim could he assert to defend her interests?
11720what evidence have you to produce to prove that you are not a bare- faced impostor?
11720who could have shut you up in that room?"
11720who would listen to any romantic notion about a promise made to the dead?
11720whose face?
11720why wo n''t you let me be your banker?"
11720you can hold her up as a paragon of perfection after she has thrown you over in the most heartless manner?
11720you want to know whether your rival is handsome, I suppose?
11720your father''s something more than a stranger to you, is he?
