11247''You would not withdraw your promise?''
11247''You''ll take them, will you?''
11247''Your name, sir?''
11247And I must be abandoned alone to these savages?
11247And what was I to do now?
11247Are we to have civil war on the top of all our misfortunes?
11247Are we to stand against the will of the nation?
11247At present the question rather is, what is_ he_ going to do to us?''
11247Besides, if the harmless commissariat man were put to such a death, what hope was there for me, who had snapped the spine of their lieutenant?
11247But how was I to get out?
11247But how was I to get to them?
11247But what hussar can ride past a fight and never draw rein?
11247But what of all that?
11247But when I raised them, what was the first thing that my eyes rested upon?
11247Comrades, will you stand by and see this gentleman mishandled?''
11247Could I pull my big companion up after me?
11247Could we not decide the matter in some better way than fighting?
11247D''you know that Lord Rufton alone has five thousand pounds on you?
11247Do you conceive that I would send a really important message by such a hand as yours, and through every village which the enemy holds?
11247Do you imagine I chose you out because you could think?
11247Do you not think, since there is a difference of opinion upon this point, that it would be an excellent idea to consult the lady herself?
11247Do you think, then, that artillerymen have not swords as well as the hussars?
11247Do your hussars know where you have gone to?''
11247Had I not been warned that she was German in heart and soul, and that it was she who was turning her husband and her State against us?
11247Had he hurled himself over?
11247Had he seen the Abbot?
11247Had the peasants at the door seen anyone ride away?
11247Have you anything to say, Brigadier Gerard?''
11247Have you not a young officer named Soubiron, a tall, slight youth with light hair?''
11247He wished to add a hundred gold pieces a game, but what was money when the fate of Colonel Etienne Gerard hung upon the cards?
11247How am I to face Europe if my soldiers turn their points upon each other?
11247How could the hat have flown off?
11247How could they escape us, with the finest horses in France behind them?
11247How the deuce was I to get out of it when the cove wanted the very clothes off my back?''
11247How was I to get one?
11247I asked,''and what are you?
11247I presume that there is nothing which I can do for you before you go?''
11247Is it a circus, or what?''
11247Is it likely that I, who had lived with the light cavalry since the first hair shaded my lip, would mistake the sound of troopers on the march?
11247Is it possible that one who has come safely from Moscow without so much as a frost- bite will die in a French wine- cellar?''
11247Is not every hour a fresh point of view?
11247Is that clear to you?''
11247It is true that I felt very much like a highway robber, but then, what would you have?
11247It was enough for my wants, for when had I had as much during those twelve years spent in camps?
11247May I ask what your name is?''
11247Might I beg you to loosen them?''
11247Might I not have been the accomplice of these wretches?
11247Might I trouble you to lay me upon the bed?
11247Now, sir, what is it that you have to say to either Prince or Princess of Saxe- Felstein?''
11247Now, what is there to prevent you and your men from pretending to be such a body, and so making your way into the Abbey?''
11247Oh, why did I ever meet you?
11247She had forgotten the man with whom she had to deal-- was it likely that I would wait until they could bring their rascals?
11247The lady whom I have the honour to present to you is my very dear wife, Mrs Alexis Morgan-- or shall I say Madame la Marèchale Millefleurs?''
11247Then, turning to the farmer, he asked his eternal question,''Can you tell me where the Baron Straubenthal lives?''
11247To whom should they carry them but to the villain Talleyrand?
11247To whom?''
11247Was I to go into Fontainebleau, to wake up the palace, and to inform them that the great Emperor had been murdered within a pace of me?
11247Was it possible that there was another Frenchman in as perilous a plight as myself?
11247Was it possible, then, that amid the fury of the storm his warning cries had passed unheeded?
11247Was it wonderful that even I should reach the limits of my endurance?
11247Well, as we drew together, I kept on saying,''Where have I seen those great roan shoulders?
11247What could I prove?
11247What could he say which would do justice to the incredible way in which I had risen above every danger?
11247What have I done?''
11247What use was there in giving it to her?
11247What was I to do?
11247What was glorious death that one should shun it?
11247What was life that one should covet it?
11247What will you think of me, my friends, when I tell you it was to me-- to me, the Brigadier Gerard-- that the Emperor wished to write?
11247What witnesses had I?
11247What word would the villain bring back?
11247What would he say when he saw me?
11247What would the Emperor say when he heard that I had lost his despatches?
11247What, retire before this sacred dog of a Wellington-- he who had listened unmoved to my words, and had sent me to his land of fogs?
11247What, then, had become of Commissariat Vidal?
11247Where am I to keep these precious things?
11247Where have I seen that dainty fetlock?''
11247Where were I, and France, and the Emperor?
11247Who can say that there is not justice in this world?
11247Who could have believed that a half- inch of candle could take so long to burn?
11247Who should do so better, seeing that I have stayed for a month in this lonely spot, looking down in weariness of heart at the Abbey which was my own?
11247Who was that who was yelling for help, and what are you trying to do to him?''
11247Why did you ever teach me to rely upon your strength?''
11247Why should I linger in the palace?
11247Why should the Emperor tell us his plans?''
11247Why should you choose to pass through the one place where you are almost sure to be taken or killed?''
11247With its weight, would it not have simply dropped?
11247Would it not be best that I should remain here?''
11247Would the army believe it of Etienne Gerard?
11247Would they come?
11247Would they come?
11247Would they come?
11247Yet this other must have a meaning, or why should she risk her life to place it in our hands?
11247You have both been with me since Marengo, I believe?''
11247You understand me, Monsieur Gerard?''
11247You understand me, gentlemen?''
11247You understand?''
11247cried the young officer, in sufficiently bad French,''what game are you up to here?
11247she screamed, and then,''Oh, my God, what have I done?
36211''''Ere, wot yer doing, you perishers? 36211 ''Halloa, Englishman,''he said;''come to leave a card?''
36211''Have you ever heard of the Death Grip? 36211 ''How is James behaving?
36211''Look''ere,''he said to me,''''ave you ever killed a''Un?'' 36211 Acushla mine,"he whispered,"would I be hurting a hair of your swate head, or bringing a tear to them violet pools ye calls your eyes?
36211Am I doing anything wrong?
36211And how the deuce are we to make her sure? 36211 And if it does, what then?
36211And what of Pat?
36211And where do you feel it worst, my dear boy?
36211And why would I not understand?
36211And you do not desire revanche?
36211Are they good ones?
36211Are you coming?
36211Are you wounded?
36211Are you? 36211 Awake, Ginger?"
36211Beg pardon, sir, but are you a patient?
36211Behold I am not as other men are,they murmur complacently;"have not I kept the home fires burning, and amassed money making munitions?"
36211But how can the regiment be proud of you, my lad,he asked gently,"if you''re always late on parade, and forgetting to do what you''re told?
36211But how could you get through their lines to start with?
36211But how do you propose to get there, my dear chap?
36211But what could he have done, Jerry?
36211But what''s it all about?
36211But why in the name of Heaven,I cried, irritably,"have you kept this dark all the while?
36211But you are n''t fit, old man; you do n''t think you''re fit yet, do you?
36211But you''ve heard from him?
36211But, dear lady, why, if I may ask, did you marry him? 36211 But-- who to?
36211D''you mean to tell me that there is a German gun in that wood firing at Poperinghe? 36211 Did I ever tell you of the terrible experience I had on the front at Eastbourne, when my bath- chair attendant became inebriated and upset me?"
36211Did we not? 36211 Did you bite him?"
36211Did you find the Blue Bird?
36211Did you kill your men?
36211Did you speak?
36211Do you know Brent well, by any chance?
36211Do you love him?
36211Do you really think there is danger?
36211Do you think she''s going to accept him, Ginger?
36211Do you want to go back, Jim?
36211Do? 36211 Does Mrs. Latimer share the same room as her husband?"
36211Find it?
36211Got the gun yet, Dick?
36211Has Brent had some very nasty knock lately-- money, or a woman, or something?
36211Has he been looking at you like that again, the way you described in the letter?
36211Have n''t you heard? 36211 Have some more rum, sir?"
36211Have those dreadful women gone, my dear?
36211Have you been working?
36211Have you had any sleep, Hugh?
36211Have you heard you''re coming with me to France?
36211Have you last week''s_ Tatler_?
36211How goes it with you, Comtesse?
36211How is he?
36211How''s the son and heir?? 36211 How''s the son and heir??
36211I may go, Colonel?
36211I suppose that means you want me to cocktail with you?
36211I wonder how many?--I wonder how many?
36211If you do n''t get the stuff there, how the deuce are you going to blow up the bridge?
36211Is Lady Monica Travers at home; I mean-- er-- is she in the hospital?
36211Is anything th''matter?
36211Is it my leg you would be pulling?
36211Is there no hope?
36211James-- what am I to do? 36211 Merry and bright, old son-- your usual motto, is n''t it?"
36211Parlez- vous Français, monsieur?
36211Quiet to- night-- isn''t it? 36211 Rather sudden, is n''t it?"
36211Say, Baron, are you going away?
36211Shall I take''i m to Yper and''and''i m to the gendarmes, sare?
36211Shall we go inside, sir? 36211 Tell me, Winkle, shall I ever see him again?
36211That old blackguard up there-- who lived every moment of his life-- do you think he would have accounted that to me for credit? 36211 That''s that waltz-- what the deuce is the name, Pat?"
36211The dinner is to monsieur''s taste?
36211Then you''ll go back soon?
36211Then, what in the name of fortune are ye standing here for talking like an ould woman with the indigestion? 36211 They do not suspect?"
36211Understand what?
36211Une omelette, monsieur; du café? 36211 Was he anywhere near you when you kicked the telephone?"
36211Was the gun there?
36211Well, Meyrick,he said quietly,"what have you got to say?"
36211Well, old man, how''s the tail?
36211Well,I said,"what about it?
36211Well-- er-- I was: why not?
36211What are the casualties? 36211 What are you doing here?"
36211What are you pointing at me for, my good man?
36211What cursed gun? 36211 What d''you expect him to do?
36211What d''you think? 36211 What did he do?"
36211What did he give him?
36211What did you do, Dick?
36211What did you do?
36211What do you mean to do?
36211What do you mean?
36211What does he imagine he''s likely to do? 36211 What does it feel like to be shelled?"
36211What happened, Jim?
36211What hare- brained scheme have you got in your mind now, Brent?
36211What have they been doing?
36211What in the world are you doing here?
36211What news of Jim?
36211What the devil are you driving at, Jim?
36211What the devil is it?
36211What the devil is this essential fact?

36211Why are n''t you in khaki, young fellow me lad?
36211Why do you read Kipling or anyone else when you ought to be doing other things?

36211Why, Spud?
36211Will you put your watches right by mine? 36211 Will you talk to him, Colonel?"
36211Will you tell me what it was he told you before he went through the window? 36211 Wo n''t it be nice?"
36211Wo n''t you bark at the Huns, my cherub?
36211Would he have hesitated?
36211Would you like to know? 36211 Yes, but they do n''t mind a Belgian peasant, do they?
36211You believe me, Colonel?
36211You bumped your face into''em, did you?
36211You have n''t seen my major anywhere, have you?
36211You remember the Land Crab and how he told us the woods had been searched? 36211 You think that, do you?
36211Your mind is made up?
36211''Do you remember how annoyed he was when I put him in your arms that afternoon at home?''
36211A very fine, but not unique example of the genuine shirker...."What has he to do with us?"
36211After all, has not Madame got in her house a refugee-- her cousin-- whose screams even now ring out at night...?
36211And after all, why on earth should they?
36211And now the train has passed out of sight-- or is it only that her eyes are dim with the tears she kept back while he was with her?
36211And surely to Heaven you ca n''t blame poor old Dick?
36211And what is going to be the result of it all on the Vanes of England?
36211And what would he say, Sybil, if he knew that a man, even though he''d done something, was now resting on his oars-- content?"
36211And why did his Major kick the telephone?...
36211And why is it a secret?"
36211And yet what does it convey to anyone who patronises inebriated bath- chair men?
36211Any idea?"
36211Are you doing your_ all_?
36211Are you proposing to blow it up?"
36211Are you-- er-- lucky at cards?"
36211But is it the_ real_ thing?
36211But just now it''s Hell, is n''t it?
36211But the action brought him close to that silent figure, with the ripped up back...."You ought to''ave a nurse..."Why?
36211But what was I to do?
36211But why go on?
36211But why should one of the regiment be dead; it was all so unexpected, so sudden?
36211But would_ he_ understand that?"
36211But you say he was forty yards away?"
36211CHAPTER III THE WOMAN AND THE MAN"When''s your board, Jim?"
36211Ca n''t I find you a partner?"
36211Can anyone recommend me a good cheap book on"Things a Best Man Should Know"?
36211Can we come in your boat, Baron?"
36211Did I ever tell you about that grip I learned in Sumatra-- the Death Grip?"
36211Did the sound of the water come to him as the sun dropped, slow and pitiless, into the west?
36211Did_ you_ know about your mother?
36211Do I look like a patient?"
36211Do you hear that, James?--do I remember?
36211Do you know why?"
36211Do you mean to say I ca n''t see her unless I''m a patient?
36211Do you remember at Henley, when she said,''He might have answered to your voice?''
36211Do you remember him, Major?
36211Do you remember saying it was a glorious madness?"
36211Do you suppose I''ll let any cursed social conventions stand between me and the woman I love?"
36211Do you think he''d have thought so?"
36211Do you think the scene would be like this?"
36211Do you think...?"
36211Does it surprise you; was n''t it the God- sent solution to everything?
36211Drying the washing on?
36211Even if he had put the caviar in the butter and his foot in the marmalade-- well, hang it all-- what then?
36211Gawd above-- why?
36211Getting furniture for the dug- out-- what?"
36211Ginger, what am I to do?"
36211Go and dig it up?
36211Had he not received his instructions from that great man the regimental himself?
36211Halloa, Bill, old cock,''ow''s yourself?"
36211Have n''t you enough work to do?"
36211Have they finished?
36211Have you no suspicions?
36211Have you-- er-- diagnosed the symptoms, sister?"
36211He did n''t know; how could he have known, how... but what''s the use?
36211He floundered and stopped; he could find no words...."But do n''t you understand that it''s just as important to do the little things?
36211He was the corporal who''d called him balmy; but why should he be dead?
36211How''s yourself?
36211How''s yourself?
36211I cried,"do you mean to say that you think there is a chance of Hugh going mad?"
36211I did n''t want to particularly, at first: I was enjoying myself at home-- but I felt I ought to, and now--''pon my soul---- How are you, Jones?"
36211I do n''t know-- but it''s not quite cricket, is it?
36211I know we''re all mad-- I know the world''s mad; but, Syb, dear, you would n''t have me sane, would you; not for ever?
36211I muttered,"who did you shoot?"
36211I was reading to- day that the Italians----""You are n''t going to quote any war expert at me, are you?"
36211I wonder how many fellows I''ll know when I get back to them next week?
36211I wonder if those little boys like it?
36211In a Turkish bath surrounded by beauteous houris?"
36211Is Sybil indoors?"
36211Is he still a budding Staff Officer at the War Office, I wonder, or is he over the water?
36211Is it an English girl?"
36211Is it possible that a sailor could do such a thing?"
36211Is this your work?"
36211It hardly applies to the Jim Denvers-- the men of money: but what of the others?
36211It''s not worrying you that I''d be-- but is there no hope at all, at all?"
36211James Henry, do they often do this?"
36211James, why ca n''t I go sick-- and live for a space at that charming hospital that overlooks the sea?
36211Just because they''re swine...?"
36211Just find out, will you, about Lady Monica Travers?"
36211Just now-- with your aching eyes fixed on_ his_ chair you face your God, and ask Why?
36211Just--"Toppin''evening, ai n''t it?
36211Look the other way?"
36211May I congratulate you on your efficiency?
36211My dear, my dear-- do you_ want_ to go back?"
36211My voice ai n''t like the twitter of a grass''opper, is it?
36211Oh, what is that man saying now?
36211Only, why curse it?"
36211Or will you give them another minute or two?
36211Perhaps he anticipated death before he started, for it was written the night before the advance-- who knows?
36211Perhaps-- who knows?
36211Personally, I was standing in the garden with the grey- haired father; and Jerry was-- well, where else could he have been?
36211Put yourself in my place, old man; what would you have done?
36211Sane: but for how long?
36211Sergeant- Major, what do you know about it?"
36211Shall we ever get back to the same old way?
36211She had had the Boches there--"mais oui"--but what matter?
36211Should I still be...?
36211Supposing everyone came on to parade half a minute late because they''d been reading Kipling?"
36211Tell Ginger?
36211Tell some big bug in the Secret Service?
36211Tell the generals and the diplomatists?
36211That''s the rub; should it have been neither?
36211The Germans are shelling the empty village just in front with shrapnel, and who are you to interpose yourself between him and his chosen target?
36211The fact that my theory has been put into practice, at the expense of everything I have to live for, is full of humour, is n''t it?"
36211The final tableau----""Which one are you going to tell him, dear?
36211The same parching, crawling days following one another in deadly monotony: the same...."Dreaming, Jim?"
36211Then he asked quietly,"Why?
36211They are whimpering to and fro-- And what should they know of England, who only England know?
36211They remembered the gas; what new devilry was this?
36211They were in the stage known as walking- out-- or is it keeping company?
36211To- morrow morning at 6.35 peace would cease; we should be out and running over the top of the ground; we should be..."Will they use gas, I wonder?"
36211To- night we play; to- morrow-- who knows?"
36211Violet girl, why would he not have written?"
36211Was n''t he as good a man as that there dead corporal?
36211Was n''t he one of the regiment too?
36211Was that your memsahib at the station?"
36211What about a trip to the gorse?
36211What about you?"
36211What are you getting at?"
36211What did you think of our drill, Derek?"
36211What if the woman I sacrificed was the Comtesse herself?
36211What is not illogical and inconsequent nowadays?
36211What matter that his battalion is resting; what matter that he is going through a course somewhere at the back of beyond?
36211What news from the seat of war?"
36211What of Hugh, of the Rabbit, of Torps?
36211What on earth are you talking about, Jim?"
36211What shall I tell him, Henry-- what_ shall_ I tell him?
36211What sort of a time have you had?"
36211What the deuce would I have told her?
36211What the devil is this fellow doing?"
36211What was I to do?
36211What was that about"lifting''em through the charge that won the day"?
36211What would it be to- morrow night?
36211What would our ranting pedagogues say if their own sons had been crucified by the Germans as some of our wounded have been?
36211What''s that little tune they''re playing?"
36211Where''s the young rascal?
36211Where''ve you been?"
36211Who was talking of running?
36211Who''s that?
36211Why did he find it so terribly hard to move?
36211Why did n''t you tell us at the time?"
36211Why has n''t Jerry written one line?
36211Why should I go again?
36211Why should his company officer do such a thing; why should they all be cowering in the trench waiting for death to come to them; why...?
36211Why should she?
36211Why?"
36211Will he ever be content to settle down again after-- the lawyer, the stockbroker, the small clerk?
36211Will it be safe to resume your interrupted promenade in a dignified manner?
36211Will the scales have dropped from the eyes of the men who have really been through it?
36211Will ye not be telling me his name?"
36211Will you kindly give orders, Lieutenant Travers, for a steam- pinnace?
36211Winkle dear,"and she broke down utterly,"do you remember the waltz they were playing that day--''Destiny''?"
36211With his finger on the title he looked at me musingly,"Shall we find it to- day, I wonder?"
36211With so many others for her choice, surely the Comtesse de Grecin could have commanded the world?"
36211Wot yer mean, did n''t''ear me?
36211Would it be asking you too much to request that you refrain from using them in a ship where they are merely considered vulgar?"
36211Would the Expeditionary Force have crossed so successfully, I wonder?
36211Yet-- it is so...."Shall I bring in the prisoner, sir?"
36211You are even magnanimous: what is one woman compared to the danger of a nation?
36211You did nothing of the sort?
36211You do n''t suppose they''ve got a concrete mounting and the Prussian flag flying on a pole, do you?
36211You know that feeling too?"
36211You know that there Meyrick...""Who, the Slug?"
36211You think I''m bitter?"
36211You''ll stop and have a bit of lunch, Bill?"
36211You''re going on leave shortly, are n''t you?"
36211but would he, my dear?
36211but you''re not hurt, my lady; they did n''t hit you?"
36211do n''t you see how utterly final it all is?
36211fell fainting into the rhododendron bush?"
36211has she?"
36211have you kept it properly under your tongue?"
36211little girl-- you do look a bit washed out Have I been worrying you?"
36211me dear, is there no hope for Dickie O''Rourke?
36211my dear girl-- is it?"
36211then----""Well, what then, Baron von Dressler?"
36211will you come?"
36211you''ave,''ave you?
10446''A bet? 10446 ''And if I see anything of the kind?''
10446''But is it fair?'' 10446 ''But the cause?''
10446''Do you think I am going to get anything of the sort?'' 10446 ''For what reason?''
10446''How long will it take?'' 10446 ''Or that of the Fleet Stallion?''
10446''Sir,said I, touching him upon the arm,''are you the messenger for Lord Hawkesbury?''
10446''The Chapter of the Camel?'' 10446 ''What do you want with me?''
10446''What symptoms may I expect?'' 10446 ''What then?
10446''Who are you, then?'' 10446 ''You think I shall be safe by evening?''
10446A glove fight, sir?
10446A skirmish, then?
10446A village, sir?
10446Address?
10446Allardyce,I whispered,"what_ could_ have happened to him?"
10446And give someone else the credit? 10446 And how?"
10446And it was--?
10446And the hands?
10446And the other boats scuttled?
10446And the others, captain?
10446And they scuttled my ship?
10446And tobacco?
10446And was this the best that Pierre could do for you? 10446 And what figure did Sharkey cut in the dock?"
10446And what may that be?
10446And when does he come home?
10446And who assaulted you?
10446And who sent you to us?
10446And you are fighting for a money prize?
10446And you got mixed up with that brutal crowd?
10446And you no longer drink your beer?
10446And you think there''s someone hiding in the box?
10446And you, Purvis?
10446And yourself, captain?
10446Any dervishes?
10446Any news?
10446Any way by which we could identify him?
10446Anything we can report?
10446Are you Irishmen? 10446 As guide?
10446Ask him who he is, and what he wants?
10446Bhoys, will ye stand for this?
10446Broke his leg, has he?
10446But his food and drink?
10446But how about the other man?
10446But suppose you was trained?
10446But what is there to say?
10446But whither are we bound?
10446But why?
10446Can it be a signal for us to put back?
10446Could n''t you explain?
10446Could n''t you kodak him, Mortimer? 10446 Craggs?"
10446Did you say a foreign name, sir?
10446Did you try?
10446Do you know how many wrong turnings there are between this and the stairs?
10446Do you mean to say that was legitimate?
10446Does the proprietor know of it?
10446Doing what?
10446Faster than a galloping horse?
10446Going to throw it overboard, sir?
10446Good Heavens, Mr. Montgomery, what have you been doing with your left eye?
10446Got t''hearse for to fetch him back?
10446Got your hammer, carpenter?
10446Had enough?
10446Have you heard about Sharkey?
10446Have you heard what they mean to do with me?
10446Have you wine aboard?
10446How about the''mutilated''?
10446How are the men, Captain Foley?
10446How are you feeling now?
10446How came I not to see that fished mainyard?
10446How came you to know so much? 10446 How came you to think of it?"
10446How can I fight for the coal- pits?
10446How do you do, Mr. Stapleton? 10446 How do you do?"
10446How do you find your own way if it is so complicated?
10446How do?
10446How far are we going? 10446 How is this, Ben Ali?"
10446How is this, Master Hird?
10446How long does it take to get a wire to London?
10446How many got into us, Stephen?
10446How many men shall I take, colonel?
10446How many of them do you make?
10446How much?
10446How shall you answer for what you have done?
10446How was that?
10446How''s that?
10446How?
10446I could n''t give it away before all those blacks, or where should I have been the next time I used my false beard and Arab dress? 10446 I have no desire to interfere unduly with your affairs, Mr. Montgomery, but were you thinking of having a day in Leeds upon Saturday?"
10446I suppose you know what you are doing? 10446 In the country?"
10446Is he often out at this hour?
10446Is it far?
10446Is that foul play or accident, Captain Barclay?
10446Is that legitimate also?
10446Is that quite necessary?
10446Is this your mon, sir?
10446Killed in the storm?
10446May I ask your name, sir?
10446May I have another cigar?
10446Next the road?
10446No clue of any kind?
10446Not too far to walk?
10446Nothing serious, I suppose?
10446Oh, really-- in England?
10446Oh, you want the Master fair brayed, do you? 10446 Out at this time of night?
10446Shall I fire?
10446Should we say five hundred?
10446The question is what we are to do?
10446Then I understand, Mr. Mancune, that your offer of fifty pounds a head extends to the whole of these horses?
10446Then, my dear Kennedy, why did you do it?
10446To the stove, captain?
10446We are there, I presume, to prevent raiding?
10446Well, gentlemen?
10446Well, my lad, what is it?
10446Well, suppose it is?
10446What are you going to do with me?
10446What devilry has he been up to now?
10446What did he say?
10446What did you do?
10446What do you suspect?
10446What for the flag?
10446What is it, then?
10446What is it? 10446 What is that?"
10446What mean you by giving orders to my boat''s crew?
10446What name, sir?
10446What name?
10446What part of England-- London?
10446What price pork chops?
10446What right have you to wear them? 10446 What roguery is this?"
10446What sort of a question is this? 10446 What the devil do you mean?"
10446What thinkest thou o''that?
10446What was he like?
10446What was your plan?
10446What weight to- day?
10446What would happen if the light went out?
10446What''s happened to me?
10446What''s her flag?
10446What''s the Impire to us, Captain Foley, and what''s the Widdy to us ayther?
10446What''s the matter?
10446What''s the time?
10446What, one of those camels?
10446What-- at once?
10446When did you ever ask me anything that I did not tell you? 10446 When would you like to come?"
10446Where are the two other dervishes?
10446Where are you off to?
10446Where does the weight come in, then?
10446Where is Count Eustace de Chateau Noir?
10446Where is he, then?
10446Where is my ship?
10446Where would the variety of life be without them? 10446 Where''s t''owd K- legs?"
10446Where''s thot seven to one?
10446Where?
10446Where?
10446Which of them?
10446Who art thou to put in thy word? 10446 Who is that?"
10446Who lays the gun this time?
10446Who talked of juggin'', ye fool?
10446Who''s hit, then?
10446Why detain me, colonel? 10446 Why else should he be gulping t''brandy?
10446Why else should he return?
10446Why hast thou not sent t''medicine oop as thy master ordered?
10446Why not?
10446Why so?
10446Will it interest them?
10446Will you speak now?
10446Wo n''t you stay awhile and rest?
10446Wot then?
10446You an amateur?
10446You devil, what do you mean?
10446You do n''t know, Master Agent, if they lack a hangman, do you?
10446You do n''t mean that?
10446You do n''t mean to stop the fight?
10446You have heard that Sharkey''s barque, the_ Happy Delivery_, came from this very port of Kingston?
10446You have my things?
10446You heard nothing?
10446You know the place?
10446You mean there is a man in it?
10446You play a hand at picquet?
10446You poor, dull- witted fool, would you match yourself against me?
10446You say that you know who did these crimes?
10446You surely do not mean to let him go?
10446You think he was headed off?
10446You think, then, that the label asking people not to open the box was simply written in his interest?
10446''What is this insane bet of yours then?''
10446''What is this, then?''
10446''What''s this?''
10446A private venture might be fitted out-- and there were many who had a blood- feud with Sharkey-- but what could a private venture do?
10446After all, what did it matter?
10446Ah, you would?
10446All ready?
10446Am I to provide for them all?
10446And were these the Allies of Ireland?
10446And where could he have walked from?
10446Any advance upon forty?"
10446Any sign of the evening pennies?"
10446Are you soldiers?
10446But how are we going to get him to find his tongue?"
10446But if you did not love her why should you make this great scandal which has damaged you and ruined her?"
10446But it does n''t throw much light on what has passed, does it, Captain Barclay?
10446But it''s in the very centre of the horse- bradin''districts of Oireland, so where should they come to be sould if it was n''t to Dunsloe?"
10446But the count?
10446But then what would you have?
10446But what could she be doing there?
10446But where was the all- important referee?
10446But who was he, and why did they murder him?"
10446But who would salute Sharkey, the pirate?
10446But why should you expect otherwise of me?
10446But, then, what would you have?
10446By the way, Anerley, you''ve never been under fire before, have you?"
10446By the way, Kennedy, have you any matches?"
10446Could you tell where I am?"
10446D''ye hear?"
10446Did you ascertain anything about him before you lost him?"
10446Did you never hear bullets before?
10446Do n''t you think so?"
10446Do n''t you think that we ought to open it and see?"
10446Do you still insist?"
10446Do you understand that I am on the Government service, and that you will see the inside of a gaol for this?''
10446Dost want the fight declared off?"
10446Egri!_ What the deuce are you frightened about?
10446Got your man?
10446Got your man?
10446Got your revolver, Anerley?"
10446Had the ship been captured in his absence?
10446Had the ship been taken, then?
10446Had the two fugitives carried away all the camels, or had they been content to save themselves?
10446Have you all that she will carry?"
10446Have you any other way of explaining the facts?"
10446Have you said all that?"
10446Have you thought of any particular direction?"
10446He only excelled in his strength, and where was he to find a customer for that?
10446His eyebrows too?
10446Holloway?"
10446How about the baggles, Anerley?"
10446How came the villain to be taken?"
10446How came you into their hands?"
10446How can they score over each other if we do not do the same?
10446How did you get rid of her in three weeks?"
10446How did you receive these injuries?"
10446How many, I wondered, had fallen victims to the ingenuity of the mechanic of Ausgburg?
10446How''s that?"
10446How?"
10446Hullo, young''un, what do you want?"
10446I cried; and then a sudden thought coming into my head--''How do we know that the English will have news of this?
10446I do it--""For love?"
10446I suppose, sir, that I should report myself there at once?"
10446If I were to fall into his hands?
10446If he brought one home, what power could there be behind it, and what chance was there of its harming the colossus in front of him?
10446If it was not a coincidence, then what could it mean?
10446If we do not live up to the highest, how can we expect these poor workers to do so?
10446If we do this at Venice, will you do that at Sierra Leone?
10446If we give up Egypt to the Sultan, will you restore the Cape of Good Hope, which you have taken from our allies the Dutch?
10446In the first place, you remember the man whom you knocked out this morning?
10446Is the dinghy astern, Ned?"
10446Is there anything you''d like to ask me?"
10446Is this island worth that peninsula?
10446Kitt''s?"
10446Mancune?"
10446Mancune?"
10446May I ask what your name is?"
10446Maybe you could tell me who owns it?"
10446Men weighed?"
10446Might I entreat you to take one from mine?"
10446Montgomery?"
10446Montgomery?"
10446My goodness, what colours are you wearing?"
10446Now will you?"
10446Now, sir, what can it mean except one thing?"
10446Now, will you wave your hat?
10446Or was it that they were hunting in the interior of the island, and were not on the look- out for a ship yet?
10446Or why should I make an exception in your favour?
10446Perhaps you do not know your Koran very well, monsieur?
10446Perhaps you interfered with him?"
10446Sink you for a villain, do you dare to question my orders?"
10446So that made the adventure more alluring, did it?"
10446Strellenhaus?"
10446Strellenhaus?"
10446THE STRIPED CHEST"What do you make of her, Allardyce?"
10446That reminds me, captain, that you are not quite situated upon a bed of roses yourself, are you now?
10446The most enduring?
10446The two men with strange names, the telegrams, the horses-- what was underlying it all?
10446There was his whole record, and was it enough to encourage him to stand up to the Master of Croxley?
10446Those are the conditions, are they not?"
10446To whom?"
10446Was it enough to prevent him getting to the telegraph- office at Sarras?
10446Was it that his pony was hopelessly foundered?
10446Was it that they had detected that this was not their own ship?
10446Was that not so, Sir Charles?"
10446Was the ship in action?
10446Was there any connection between these two messages, or was it merely a coincidence?
10446We''ll put up a purse-- won''t we, Purvis?
10446Well, what have you to say?"
10446Were these Sharkey''s men who were around him?
10446Were these the men who were to strike for her against her enemies?
10446Were they confederates who pretended to work apart, but who each received identical orders from some person at a distance?
10446What are you here for but to fight for your country?"
10446What can you give me for supper-- you?"
10446What cartridges?"
10446What could I do?
10446What could Worlington Dodds know at Dunsloe which was not known in Throgmorton Street?
10446What could be more delightful than to lie upon the Fells, basking in the sunshine, with perhaps some instructive and elevating book as your companion?
10446What could he possibly have found out at Dunsloe?
10446What d''you mean?
10446What do you say, Scott?"
10446What do you suppose is in that box, Captain Barclay?"
10446What does it mean?"
10446What had these dead dervishes ridden?
10446What hope was there of being able to do thirty- five miles of heavy going upon that?
10446What in the world has become of her?"
10446What inducement is there to be smart if we all share and share alike?"
10446What mean you by fishing in my waters?"
10446What more can they want?"
10446What on earth was he returning for?
10446What plan could Sharkey have in his head, and what use did he hope to make of him?
10446What the devil were the Wessex thinking about?
10446What though they hurried me to the scaffold?
10446What was it you said?"
10446What was it you wanted to know?"
10446What was to be given back, and what was to be kept?
10446What''s that German printing on the inside?"
10446What''s the matter with you, Anerley?"
10446What_ would_ our editors say if we were late for the action?"
10446When?
10446Where had those words been used before?
10446Where is Lord Hawkesbury?''
10446Where is the trader of Stepney Town?
10446Where is the trader of Stepney Town?
10446Where were they to come from?
10446Where?
10446Who are you, you rascal?
10446Who are you?"
10446Who could he be, this formidable giant coming out of the unknown?
10446Who is it who has murdered my men?"
10446Who seconds Silas Craggs?"
10446Who was it who had used them?
10446Why do you eat toast with every meal?"
10446Why had they not shown themselves?
10446Why should he not play his own game upon him?
10446Why should he stay indoors when the Ascombe Hunt was meeting within half a mile of him?
10446Why should not one die to make a glorious peace?
10446Why should their leader urge them to break, and now shriek to them to re- form?
10446Why should they know about it?
10446Why should they throw away their lives for a flag for which they cared nothing?
10446Will you not venture upon a second and more savoury supper?"
10446Will you permit me to bind it with my silk handkerchief?"
10446Will you sign articles, as your mate has done, and join us, or shall I heave you over to follow your ship''s company?"
10446Wilson, is it?
10446Without money for his classes, and without a situation-- what was to become of him?
10446Wo n''t it be ripping?"
10446Would it break or would it re- form?
10446Would you mind asking me something else in return-- something not quite so eccentric this time?"
10446You are seconded from the Royal Mallows, I understand?"
10446You do n''t talk Arabic, I suppose?"
10446You know the out- house in my garden?"
10446You say there are no papers on him?"
10446You will confess that I am trying to make things as pleasant as I can for you?"
10446You''ve not heard, then?
10446and what of that?"
10446it was hard, was it not, when they had come so far and were so near to safety?"
10446that was it, was it?
10446what then?"
