7002 | Washington eagerly inquired particulars; above all, how acted the militia? |
7002 | What did I get by that? |
7002 | What was to be done? |
7002 | Where are your landmarks-- your boundaries of colonies? |
7002 | Why, soldiers, why? |
7002 | _ But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?_"CHAPTER XXXVIII. |
7002 | asked he;"Is it against paying the duty of threepence per pound on tea because burdensome? |
40932 | And why not at Sandusky? |
40932 | Are you ignorant,said the French governor Duquesne to a deputation of Indians,"of the difference between the king of France and the English? |
40932 | Can you not capture one near Sandusky? |
40932 | How came you to take upon yourselves to sell land? |
40932 | Well, why will not a Wyandot do? |
40932 | And these men spoke of whom-- the General, the President, or the man? |
40932 | And who could then say that this did not hold good beyond the Alleghanies, where the Iroquois for so long had been the acknowledged masters? |
40932 | And"when he did a thing, he did it;"and, if to the question,"Was he a great general and statesman?" |
40932 | But of the West, who knew it as Washington did? |
40932 | By him its direction was S. 59- 1/4 E.; its present direction is S. 76 E. The question then arises: Is this mound the one that Mr. Lewis surveyed? |
40932 | Did you ever tell us you sold land to them?... |
40932 | Do our school histories inform the youth of the land why he was"fortunate"to the exclusion of why he was"great and good?" |
40932 | For what ties, let me ask, should we have upon those people? |
40932 | Has this been sufficiently realized? |
40932 | Have we remembered and appreciated our debt to Washington? |
40932 | How could a triangle, the sides of which measure six, seven, and eleven rods, contain fifty square rods or one- third of an acre? |
40932 | If Cabot and Drake discovered the continent, did they not discover its interior as truly as its seaboard? |
40932 | If a more difficult ten- hour night march has been made in the history of warfare in America, who led it and where was it made? |
40932 | Is it strange that the Indians soon came to the conclusion that there was ever some fatal connection between the art of writing and their home- lands? |
40932 | Is not the site of the first battle of the American Revolution worthy of a monument? |
40932 | The lines embraced in all about fifty square perches of land on[ or?] |
40932 | Three of these have been described as C A, A B and the broken line B E D. Is there any evidence of the fourth side such as indicated by the line C D? |
40932 | Was Edward Everett mistaken, are these letters not extant today, or are they unread? |
40932 | Was Fort Necessity, then, built in the form of an irregular square? |
40932 | What lesson did that youth need more than the lesson that Right becomes Might in God''s own good time? |
40932 | What mercy could be hoped for from the brother of the dead Jumonville? |
40932 | What power hurled the flints of these warriors of prehistoric days? |
40932 | Where are the trees the like of which Washington found on the Ohio near the Great Kanawha with a diameter of over fourteen feet? |
40932 | Who else had traversed Nemacolin''s little path before 1753? |
40932 | Who was to be this envoy? |
40932 | Why should a parley be desired with an enemy in such a hopeless strait as they? |
40932 | Why should his march from Mount Vernon to Cambridge have been a triumphal march? |
40932 | Why, now, in 1775, should he have had the unstinted confidence of all men in the hour of his country''s great crisis? |
40932 | Will the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary pass without suitable action? |
40932 | there was some hesitation, to the question,"Was he a great man?" |
12540 | Did the Militia fight? |
12540 | Why could n''t George Washington lie? |
12540 | ; was he a"silent man"? |
12540 | And if he had not, who else had? |
12540 | But why should I expect to be exempt from censure, the unfailing lot of an elevated station? |
12540 | Clinton, Sir Henry, succeeds Howe as Commander- in- Chief, 105; takes troops to New York, 106; was he responsible for bribing Arnold? |
12540 | Do these celebrities represent Washington''s heroes in 1759? |
12540 | During a brief pause, Pearson, the British captain, called out,"Have you struck your colors?" |
12540 | For, Sir, what is it we are contending against? |
12540 | He then looked at me again, and said,''Do you understand me?'' |
12540 | How could they ever be unified in the American Republic? |
12540 | How to find a common denominator for all these? |
12540 | I often asked myself as our carriages separated, whether that was the last sight I ever should have of you? |
12540 | If Great Britain, therefore, loads her manufacturies with heavy taxes, will it not facilitate these measures? |
12540 | If there were defects, as doubtless there were, did it not provide means for amending them? |
12540 | If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterward defend our work? |
12540 | Is it against paying the duty of three pence per pound on tea because burthensome? |
12540 | Or shall we supinely sit and see one province after another fall a prey to despotism? |
12540 | Shall we after this, whine and cry for relief, when we have already tried it in vain? |
12540 | Should England prevail? |
12540 | Should France prevail? |
12540 | Since the man paid voluntarily and did not question the lightness of the amount, may we not at least infer that he had no quarrel? |
12540 | The first receive everything-- the others get nothing but bare subsistence-- they ask what this is owing to? |
12540 | Then he concludes with a gleam of optimism:... Is it not likely that real defects will be as readily discovered after as before trial? |
12540 | There was a debate over the question of his election; should he be chosen directly by the legislature, or by electors? |
12540 | Washington''s opinion of the scurrilous crusade against him, he expressed in the following letter to Henry Lee: But in what will this abuse terminate? |
12540 | What hope then from petitioning, when they tell us, that now or never is the time to fix the matter? |
12540 | What other commander ever had a task like his? |
12540 | What principle could be found to knit them together? |
12540 | Where then, is the utility of the restrictions? |
12540 | While we were fixed in silent grief, Mrs. Washington, who was sitting at the foot of the bed, asked, with a firm and collected voice,''Is he gone?'' |
12540 | Who shall describe Washington''s life as Commander- in- Chief of the Colonial forces during the Revolutionary War? |
12540 | Who should be the builders of the Ship of State? |
12540 | Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
12540 | Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? |
12540 | Will you-- may we flatter ourselves, that in a crisis so awful and important, you will accept the command of all our armies? |
12540 | and will not our successors be as ready to apply the remedy as ourselves, if occasion should require it? |
12540 | was the comment of a little boy I knew,"Could n''t he talk?" |
12653 | But in what will this abuse terminate? 12653 Dear Doctor: I have asked Mrs. Cochran and Mrs. Livingston to dine with me to- morrow; but ought I not to apprise you of their fare? |
12653 | What,said the President,"is to be done in the case of the Little Sarah, now at Chester? |
12653 | After all, what is it to be an American? |
12653 | All the debts had been incurred in a common cause, he said, why should they not be cared for by the common government? |
12653 | And if they accepted it, would they abide by it? |
12653 | Are these judgments correct? |
12653 | Are we ready to say that they were not American? |
12653 | But was he therefore really dull and juiceless, unlovable and unloving? |
12653 | But was it not something more? |
12653 | But was this all? |
12653 | Can those of the_ leaders_ of opposition be mistaken, then, if judged by this rule? |
12653 | Did they differ in any vital point from those of Lincoln? |
12653 | Does it not show the perfection of good manners which deals with all men for what they are, and is full of a warm sympathy born of a good heart? |
12653 | Has any man in our history fulfilled these conditions more perfectly and completely than George Washington? |
12653 | Have you a government able to fight and to endure? |
12653 | Have you men ready to take up the challenge? |
12653 | He there said:"What office is Mr. Jefferson appointed to that he has, you say, lately accepted? |
12653 | I exclaimed; and then drawing back with a stare of wonder,''Have I the honor of addressing General Washington?'' |
12653 | If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? |
12653 | Is it not to be national and not sectional, independent and not colonial? |
12653 | Is it not to have a high conception of what this great new country should be, and to follow out that ideal with loyalty and truth? |
12653 | Is it quite true that Washington had only a love of boisterous fun, and nothing else? |
12653 | Is the minister of the French Republic to set the acts of this government at defiance_ with impunity_? |
12653 | Is there a single one of the essential attributes of Hampden that Lincoln also did not possess? |
12653 | It was the first clear utterance of the stern question asked of every people striving to live as a nation, Have you a right to live? |
12653 | Lear bowed, and Washington said,"Do you understand me?" |
12653 | Once more, what is it to be an American? |
12653 | Ought they to ring again with a new gladness, or should they toll for the death of bright hopes, now the task was done? |
12653 | Pray, would not the word curiosity answer as well? |
12653 | Should he communicate with them in writing or orally, being present during their deliberations as if they formed an executive council? |
12653 | Such being the case, the"Calm Observer"very naturally inquired:"What will posterity say of the man who has done this thing? |
12653 | Was Washington really, with all his greatness, dull and cold? |
12653 | Was he not an unselfish and devoted patriot, pure in heart, gentle of spirit, high of honor, brave, merciful, and temperate? |
12653 | Were these the words of an English country gentleman, who chanced to be born in one of England''s colonies? |
12653 | What could be more intensely human than this? |
12653 | What did he do, and what light do we get on the man himself from his words and deeds? |
12653 | What must the world think of such conduct, and of the government of the United States in submitting to it?" |
12653 | What was it then that Washington had actually done which called for assault? |
12653 | What was the response to these fair and sensible suggestions? |
12653 | Wherein, then, would lie the difference between the present gentleman in office and myself? |
12653 | Will it not say that the mask of political hypocrisy has been worn by Caesar, by Cromwell, and by Washington?" |
12653 | Would the States accept it? |
12653 | [ 1] Will not the Federalists meet, or rather defend, their cause on the opposite ground? |
12653 | and then threaten the executive with an appeal to the people? |
13911 | And would you advise, then, that married couples live apart one- third of the time, in the interests of domestic peace? |
13911 | And, Zeke, what did you do with your dollar? |
13911 | Do you know why their love was so very steadfast, and why they stimulated the mental and spiritual natures of each other so? |
13911 | For God''s sake, Walter,whispered Payn,"you are not going to explain to''em how you do it, are you?" |
13911 | How long have you studied law? |
13911 | It''s not Bill Spear who keeps a secondhand- shop, you want, mebbe? |
13911 | No, why was it? |
13911 | The which? |
13911 | Well, Dan,said the father,"did you spend your money?" |
13911 | What can all this fuss be about? |
13911 | What''s it about? |
13911 | You know those suits against you in the Admiralty Court? |
13911 | *****"Are n''t we staying in this room a good while?" |
13911 | After a little pause my inquiring mind caused me to ask,"Who made Judge Davis?" |
13911 | And how did Richard Henry Lee like it, and George Wythe, and the Randolphs? |
13911 | And is all this worry the penalty that Nature exacts for dreaming dreams that can not in their very nature come true? |
13911 | And is your sleep disturbed by dreams of British redcoats or hissing flintlocks? |
13911 | And what have you heard or observed of his character or merits? |
13911 | And whether, think you, it lies in the power of the Junto to oblige him, or encourage him as he deserves? |
13911 | As Pendleton handed his pistol to Hamilton he asked,"Shall I set the hair- trigger?" |
13911 | Did Patrick Henry wax eloquent that afternoon in a barroom, and did Jefferson do more than smile grimly, biding his time? |
13911 | Did Washington forget his usual poise and break out into one of those swearing fits where everybody wisely made way? |
13911 | Do you know of any deserving young beginner, lately set up, whom it lies in the power of the Junto in any way to encourage? |
13911 | For sin is only perverted power, and the man without capacity to sin neither has ability to do good-- isn''t that so? |
13911 | Hath any deserving stranger arrived in town since last meeting that you have heard of? |
13911 | Have you any weighty affair on hand in which you think the advice of the Junto may be of service? |
13911 | Have you lately observed any defect in the laws of your country, of which it would be proper to move the legislature for an amendment? |
13911 | Have you lately observed any encroachment on the just liberties of the people? |
13911 | Have you read over these queries this morning, in order to consider what you might have to offer the Junto, touching any one of them? |
13911 | He reminded us boys several times when we kicked, that he had a good claim on it-- for did n''t he furnish the door and the window- frames? |
13911 | I was feeling quite useless and asked,"Ca n''t I do something to help?" |
13911 | In what manner can the Junto, or any of its members, assist you in any of your honorable designs? |
13911 | Is there any difficulty in matters of opinion, of justice and injustice, which you would gladly have discussed at this time? |
13911 | Jefferson''s experience seems to settle that mooted question,"Can a man love two women at the same time?" |
13911 | Merchant- prince and agitator, horse and rider-- where are you now? |
13911 | One fine day, one of his schoolmates put the question to him flatly:"In case of war, on which side will you fight?" |
13911 | Or do you know of any beneficial law that is wanting? |
13911 | Spear, the antiquarian?" |
13911 | The non- slaveholding North was rubbing its sleepy eyes, and asking, Who is this man Seward, anyway? |
13911 | The question at issue was,"Is a bequest for founding a college a charitable bequest?" |
13911 | Then did the boy ask the question, What moral right has England to govern us, anyway? |
13911 | They look at me out of wistful eyes, and sometimes one calls to me as she goes by and asks,"Why have you done so little since I saw you last?" |
13911 | Were we talking of the seasons? |
13911 | Wha-- what''s that you said?" |
13911 | What benefits have you lately received from any man not present? |
13911 | What happy effects of temperance, of prudence, of moderation, or of any other virtue? |
13911 | What unhappy effects of intemperance have you lately observed or heard; of imprudence, of passion, or of any other vice or folly? |
13911 | What was it? |
13911 | Where is the man who in a strange land has not suffered rather than reveal his ignorance before a shopkeeper? |
13911 | Who is there who can not sympathize with that groan? |
13911 | do you understand the situation? |
13911 | how has Samuel managed to get himself so enormously in debt?" |
18594 | For God''s sake tell me,said he in a letter to Colonel Humphries,"what is the cause of all these commotions? |
18594 | And for what is this done? |
18594 | And what a compliment does he pay to our understandings, when he recommends measures, in either alternative, impracticable in their nature? |
18594 | Are not their interests inseparably connected with those of their constituents? |
18594 | But how are they to be promoted? |
18594 | But who are they to defend? |
18594 | But would the superintendence of this work break in too much on the sweets of retirement and repose? |
18594 | But, it was added, if so much power follows the assumption as the objection implies, is it not time to ask-- is it safe to forbear assuming? |
18594 | By the rotation of appointment, must they not mingle frequently with the mass of citizens? |
18594 | Can he be a friend to the army? |
18594 | Can he be a friend to this country? |
18594 | Can you then consent to be the only sufferers by this revolution, and, retiring from the field, grow old in poverty, wretchedness, and contempt? |
18594 | Could congress exert them for the detriment of the people, without injuring themselves in an equal or greater proportion? |
18594 | Do they proceed from licentiousness, British influence disseminated by the tories, or real grievances which admit of redress? |
18594 | For how were the debtor states to be compelled to pay the balances which should be found against them? |
18594 | Have you not more than once suggested your wishes and made known your wants to congress? |
18594 | How could the business originate in that house, if it was reported to them by the minister of finance? |
18594 | How have you been answered? |
18594 | If assuming tends to consolidation, is the reverse, tending to disunion, a less weighty objection? |
18594 | Is it possible after this that it should founder? |
18594 | Is this the case? |
18594 | Nay, farther, would there not even be some apparent foundation for the two former charges? |
18594 | Or is it rather a country that tramples upon your rights, disdains your cries, and insults your distresses? |
18594 | Or what but this can enable us to repel an invading enemy? |
18594 | Our wives, our children, our farms and other property which we leave behind us? |
18594 | Should the government determine to discontinue the war, would the Indians also consent to a cessation of hostilities? |
18594 | Should you not reserve yourself for the united call of a continent entire? |
18594 | They start as from a dream, and ask-- what has been the cause of our delusion? |
18594 | To bring the object we seek nearer? |
18594 | What is to afford us security against the violence of lawless men? |
18594 | What then is to be done? |
18594 | Who,"he added,"will treat with us on such terms?" |
18594 | Why then should we distrust them? |
18594 | if the former, why are not the powers of government tried at once? |
18594 | if the latter, why was redress delayed until the public mind had become so much agitated? |
18594 | who besides a tory could have foreseen, or a Briton have predicted them? |
18594 | who enjoyed the esteem and admiration of foreign nations, and fellow citizens, with equal unanimity? |
18594 | will not the all wise and all powerful Director of human events preserve it? |
11174 | And what did you do with yours, Ezekiel? |
11174 | And where is the baker''s? |
11174 | And who is speaking now? |
11174 | And will you give me more when they are gone? |
11174 | But what is the wharf to be made of? |
11174 | But will they dare to sign it? |
11174 | But wo n''t it look rather funny for me to ride to Exeter on a lady''s saddle? |
11174 | Dare? 11174 Did you ask the price?" |
11174 | Ezekiel,said Mr. Webster,"what have you been doing since I went away?" |
11174 | Have you any good whistles? |
11174 | How much did you pay for it? |
11174 | How much money have you? |
11174 | Judge Webster,said one of his neighbors,"what are you going to do with the money that you get from your office? |
11174 | My friend,he said,"can you tell me of any house where they lodge strangers?" |
11174 | My young friend,said Franklin,"where did you get that bread?" |
11174 | Shall I say,''Yes, gentlemen,''and sit down here to spend my days in a kind of comfortable privacy? |
11174 | Then I suppose you are planning to buy more land? |
11174 | To Exeter? |
11174 | Well, Daniel,said their mother,"what did you do with your money?" |
11174 | What are you going to do with it? |
11174 | What do you mean, father? |
11174 | What kind of a man is this Governor Keith? |
11174 | What shall I do? |
11174 | Where do you find him flattering his countrymen, indirectly or directly, for a vote? 11174 Who ever heard that voice cheering the people on to rapacity, to injustice, to a vain and guilty glory? |
11174 | Who is going to ride on that nag? |
11174 | Who is speaking now? |
11174 | Wrote what? |
11174 | After a while the same question was asked again:"Who is speaking now?" |
11174 | And so when the boy was taken from school, what kind of work do you think he had to do? |
11174 | And who in all the colony could do this work better than his young friend, George Washington? |
11174 | But what could he do? |
11174 | But what should he do? |
11174 | But who should lead the army? |
11174 | But who was this man Lincoln, who had so bravely vanquished the Little Giant? |
11174 | Did the king intend to take away from the colonists all the liberties that are so dear to men? |
11174 | Do you suppose that he liked this business? |
11174 | Ezekiel had done much to help him through college, and now ought he not to help Ezekiel? |
11174 | For what could be done with money where there were no shops worth speaking of, and no stores, and nothing to buy? |
11174 | Going to build a new house?" |
11174 | He looked at the bright, yellow pieces and said,"What shall I do with these coppers, mother?" |
11174 | He looked down at the slender, black- eyed boy and asked:"What is your age, sir?" |
11174 | His mother met him at the door and said,"Well, my child, what did you do with your pennies?" |
11174 | If a man could read and write and cipher, what more was needed? |
11174 | Indeed, how could an American do anything that was worth doing? |
11174 | Now this Mr. Fairfax had a young daughter, as wise as she was beautiful; and so, what should Lawrence Washington do but ask her to be his wife? |
11174 | On what did he ever place himself but good counsels and useful service? |
11174 | One day he said:"Benjamin, since you have made up your mind not to be a candle- maker, what trade do you think you would like to learn?" |
11174 | Or would he force them to obey his unjust laws? |
11174 | Samuel Wood, here in Boscawen?" |
11174 | Should he buy candy or toys? |
11174 | Should slavery be allowed in the territories? |
11174 | Should slavery be allowed in these new territories also? |
11174 | Then turning to Daniel, he said:"What have you been doing, Dan?" |
11174 | They asked,"Who shall be the commander- in- chief of our colonial army?" |
11174 | Was it not time that George should be earning something for himself? |
11174 | What could Colonel Washington do? |
11174 | What could the colonists do to escape the oppressive laws that the King of England was trying to force upon them? |
11174 | What did he mean by_ errata?__ Errata_ are mistakes-- mistakes that can not easily be corrected. |
11174 | What did this mean? |
11174 | What should he do? |
11174 | What should it be? |
11174 | What would become of the patient, tired mother, and the gentle little sister, who had borne themselves so bravely during the long, hard journey? |
11174 | Who could it be but Washington? |
11174 | Who should it be? |
11174 | Who that saw him thus going into Illinois would have dreamed that he would in time become that state''s greatest citizen? |
11174 | Who, but George Washington? |
11174 | Why could not he also be a doer of great things for his country? |
11174 | Why could not he model his own life after that of Washington? |
11174 | Why should the colonies not unite? |
11174 | Why should they not help one another, and thus form one great country? |
11174 | Would George go with him? |
11174 | Would the king pay any heed to their petition? |
11174 | he said,"did you spend all of your money for this thing?" |
15140 | Do you understand? |
15140 | General Fellows, what was the reason for this shameful retreat? |
15140 | How far is it right for the people of a free state to kill their magistrates by inches? |
15140 | Primus,said he,"what do you mean by saying that you had straw and blankets enough? |
15140 | The price, sir, the price? |
15140 | What is his name? |
15140 | What troops hold the works on the bay, Mifflin? |
15140 | What, General? |
15140 | Why, then,he asks us,"why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
15140 | ***** Had he, a mortal, the failings attached to man?--Was he the slave of avarice? |
15140 | ***** Where may the wearied eyes repose When gazing on the great, Where neither guilty glory glows Nor despicable state? |
15140 | And by what definition do you award the name to the creator of an epic, and deny it to the creator of a country? |
15140 | And is it not so? |
15140 | And what shall I say on behalf of the three hundred and sixty thousand teachers of the United States? |
15140 | And why prolong the catalogue? |
15140 | And, after an experience of thirty- five years, what is there which an enemy could condemn? |
15140 | Behold you not in him a more illustrious and more venerable presence? |
15140 | But shall we forget him? |
15140 | But who shall reconstruct the fabric of demolished government? |
15140 | Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a Nation with its Virtue? |
15140 | Can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? |
15140 | Did he consider it as necessary to avenge himself for the misconduct or madness of an individual by involving a whole continent in the horrors of war? |
15140 | Do his countrymen exaggerate his virtues? |
15140 | He paused for a moment, and then, drawing his sword, called with spirit:"Who''s for recovering them?" |
15140 | How did he act when insulted by Genet? |
15140 | How shall we praise him? |
15140 | If this great_ Western Sun_ be struck out of the firmament, at what other fountain shall the lamp of liberty hereafter be lighted? |
15140 | If we fail, who shall venture the repetition? |
15140 | In such a republic, who will exclude them from the rights of citizens and the fruits of their labors? |
15140 | In the last month of the Last year Of the LAST century( dost thou hear?) |
15140 | Is splendid folly the measure of its inspiration? |
15140 | Is that all thou canst tell? |
15140 | Is there a doubt, whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? |
15140 | Is wisdom that which it recedes from, or tends towards? |
15140 | More brilliant deeds where can we view? |
15140 | Mrs. Washington, who sat near the foot of the bed, asked in a firm voice,"Is he gone?" |
15140 | Oh how should he answer him who dwells perpetually on local interests, and fans every kindling flame of local prejudice? |
15140 | Religion and Morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be, that good policy does not equally enjoin it? |
15140 | Shall such a day pass unnoticed? |
15140 | So, when mother said,"Who ate all the pie?" |
15140 | The group of anxious- faced men about the table looked up, and Washington, with a frown, demanded,"For what do you interrupt us, sir?" |
15140 | Was he ambitious? |
15140 | Washington looked at him, and in a freezing tone asked,"Sir, what have I ever said or done which induces you to treat me in this manner?" |
15140 | What canst thou tell of Washington, the brave? |
15140 | What canst thou tell us, seventeen eighty- one, Of this far- famed, immortal Washington? |
15140 | What is genius? |
15140 | What is there which either his friends, or the friends of the country, could wish to have been otherwise? |
15140 | What knowest thou of Washington, the grave? |
15140 | What other orb shall emit a ray to glimmer, even, on the darkness of the world? |
15140 | What think you, Reed?" |
15140 | When shall we see thy like again? |
15140 | Who can delineate it worthily? |
15140 | Who is it thus the people call? |
15140 | Who shall frame together the skillful architecture which unites national sovereignty with State rights, individual security, and public prosperity? |
15140 | Who shall rear again the well- proportioned columns of constitutional liberty? |
15140 | Who that is a sincere friend to it, can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? |
15140 | Who would exchange this fame, the common inheritance of our country, for the fame of any individual which any country of any time can boast? |
15140 | Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
15140 | Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? |
15140 | Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? |
15140 | Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the UNION by which they were procured? |
15140 | Will they not henceforth be deaf to those advisers, if such there are, who would sever them from their brethren, and connect them with aliens? |
15140 | Wouldst thou know His secret? |
15140 | is it rendered impossible by its vices? |
15140 | or caprice? |
15140 | who enjoyed the esteem and admiration of foreign nations and fellow- citizens with equal unanimity? |
32987 | And how did he take it? |
32987 | By whose authority do you act? |
32987 | Did Scammel act as aide- de- camp for the day, or did he not? |
32987 | Here, sir, are my troops,said he,"how is it your pleasure I should dispose of them?" |
32987 | What can you do? |
32987 | What do you seek here? |
32987 | What is the meaning of all this, sir? |
32987 | What is to be done? |
32987 | What party? |
32987 | What right has Onontio here? 32987 What think you,"said Washington,"if we should retreat to the back parts of Pennsylvania, would the Pennsylvanians support us?" |
32987 | Who runs? |
32987 | A movement towards Philadelphia? |
32987 | But how was he to do this, deficient as he was in horses and vehicles for transportation? |
32987 | But what must have been the feelings of the commander- in- chief as he anxiously patrolled his camp and considered his desperate position? |
32987 | But what part? |
32987 | But which of them?--and by whom? |
32987 | But whither? |
32987 | But you surely do not consider his case and mine alike?'' |
32987 | Could the enemy be at hand? |
32987 | Could they remain unconcerned spectators of a conflict between their ancient enemy and republican France? |
32987 | Could you lend them instantaneously funds to shelter them from English prosecution? |
32987 | Did he intend to detach a part of his forces for a winter''s campaign against the South? |
32987 | Did he meditate an irruption into the Jerseys? |
32987 | Did he really intend to break through by the way of Ticonderoga? |
32987 | He had won laurels in the field; would they continue to flourish in the cabinet? |
32987 | He must attempt something on account of his reputation, for what has he done as yet with his great army?" |
32987 | How could they be so near without coming to visit him? |
32987 | How had they been obtained? |
32987 | How was he to be protected from these intrusions? |
32987 | How was the apprehended blow to be parried? |
32987 | How was this to be done? |
32987 | How was this to be prevented? |
32987 | How were these double claims to ceremonious respect happening at the same time to be managed? |
32987 | How would his inexperienced troops stand the encounter? |
32987 | If there is not power in it to check them, what security has a man for life, liberty, or property?" |
32987 | If we should be obliged to abandon the town, ought it to stand as winter quarters for the enemy? |
32987 | In case an attack while on the march were determined on, should it be a partial or a general one? |
32987 | In this situation, remote from reinforcements, inferior to the enemy in numbers, and without hope of support, what was to be done? |
32987 | Let me ask you, sir, when is the time for brave men to exert themselves in the cause of liberty and their country, if this is not? |
32987 | Losing all caution, he exclaimed, eagerly:"Gentlemen, I hope you belong to our party?" |
32987 | Might he make social visits to acquaintances and public characters, not as President, but as private individual? |
32987 | Now, whether I am to understand this aye or no to the plain simple question asked, Is the fort to be continued or removed? |
32987 | Or why should an ineffectual attempt to relieve the distresses of one brave, unfortunate man, involve many more in the same calamities?" |
32987 | Should any difficulties that they may have to encounter at this important crisis deter them? |
32987 | Should he keep on to Brunswick or not? |
32987 | Since kingly rule is at an end, why retain its effigy? |
32987 | The disposition to uphold the army was general; but the difficult question was, who should be commander- in- chief? |
32987 | The general said to the surgeon:''Tell me the truth, is there no hope?'' |
32987 | The question now was, what would be their next move? |
32987 | The question was, how could their plans be most successfully opposed? |
32987 | Wait for the arrival of the promised reinforcement, or attempt to check the ravage? |
32987 | Washington eagerly inquired particulars; above all, how acted the militia? |
32987 | Were they to cannonade the city, or to land troops above it? |
32987 | What could be the reason of this supineness on the part of Sir William Howe? |
32987 | What stronger evidence can be given of the want of energy in our government than these disorders? |
32987 | What was the state of Washington''s army? |
32987 | What was their destination? |
32987 | What was to be done? |
32987 | What was to be done? |
32987 | What was to be done? |
32987 | What would be the defence of the city if assailed by the ships? |
32987 | What, it was asked, were Americans to do in such a juncture? |
32987 | Where would it be made? |
32987 | Who had sent them? |
32987 | Why should we suppose them to possess more humanity than we have ourselves? |
32987 | Will not the wise and good strive hard to avert this evil? |
32987 | Would they proceed thither by land or water? |
32987 | for what purpose of interest or ambition?" |
18595 | But are not the slavery of our fellow citizens, and the national disgrace resulting from it, to be taken into the account? 18595 If,"said Colonel Hamilton in a letter on this subject of the fifth of July,"a storm gathers, how can you retreat? |
18595 | What is to be done in the case of the Little Sarah, now at Chester? 18595 Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
18595 | Are not those strictures as applicable to the letter now avowed as to the interpolated sentence? |
18595 | Are the Algerines to be frightened with paper resolves, or the Indians to be subdued, or the western posts taken, by commercial regulations? |
18595 | Are the United States obliged by good faith to consider the treaties heretofore made with France as applying to the present situation of the parties? |
18595 | But did these measures obtain the force of laws by the mere act of the senate and house of representatives? |
18595 | But in what will this abuse terminate? |
18595 | By what commercial considerations could such a system be recommended? |
18595 | By whom were these Anglican, monarchical, and aristocratical officers selected? |
18595 | Could such a letter from such a personage be entirely overlooked by the biographer of Washington? |
18595 | Could this party have been friendly-- must it not have been hostile to France? |
18595 | Did not the President assent to them? |
18595 | Does the war in which France is engaged appear to be offensive or defensive on her part? |
18595 | Has America less ability than she then had? |
18595 | How should it be otherwise? |
18595 | How then could Mr. Jefferson deliberately make the charge? |
18595 | How then could the public or any individual have ventured to select a particular sentence, and to say-- this is spurious? |
18595 | If he did, how could the expression"two out of three branches of the legislature"be an obvious exception of him? |
18595 | If of a mixed and equivocal character, does the guarantee in any event apply to such a war? |
18595 | If received, shall it be absolutely or with qualifications; and if with qualifications, of what kind? |
18595 | If the subject is commercial, why not treat it commercially, and attend to it with coolness? |
18595 | If they have an option, would it be a breach of neutrality to consider the treaties still in operation? |
18595 | If we ask the causes of the prosperous issue of a war, against the successful termination of which there were so many probabilities? |
18595 | Is it necessary or adviseable to call together the two houses of congress with a view to the present posture of European affairs? |
18595 | Is she less prepared for a national trial than she then was? |
18595 | Is the President, it was asked, a_ consecrated_ character, that an appeal from his decisions must be considered criminal? |
18595 | Is there a doubt whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? |
18595 | May it not be looked for in the imitative sympathetic organization of our funds with the British funds? |
18595 | May it not be looked for in the indiscriminate participation of citizens and foreigners in the emoluments of the funds? |
18595 | May it not be looked for in the wishes of some to assimilate the government of the United States to that of Great Britain? |
18595 | May not this change of sentiment, therefore, be looked for in her change of situation in this respect? |
18595 | Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? |
18595 | Shall a minister from the republic of France be received? |
18595 | Should the future regent of France send a minister to the United States, ought he to be received? |
18595 | That the services of the one as well as the injuries of the other, should be forgotten? |
18595 | Their papers sounded the alarm; and it was universally asked,"what law had been offended, and under what statute was the indictment supported? |
18595 | These facts being notorious, it was astonishing to hear gentlemen ask how had Britain injured their commerce? |
18595 | To whom did those"who wanted to be officers"look for the gratification of their wishes? |
18595 | Was it to remain in the country, and rot upon the hands of those who raised it? |
18595 | What is the effect of a guarantee, such as that to be found in the treaty of alliance between the United States and France? |
18595 | What must the world think of such conduct? |
18595 | What so certain to produce or continue the rupture of communication mentioned by the editor as the opinion that this statement was true? |
18595 | What, it was asked, would be done with the surplus produce of the United States? |
18595 | Whence then this change of American sentiment? |
18595 | Who can, after reading the affecting narratives of the unfortunate, sit down contented with cold calculations and syllogisms? |
18595 | Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? |
18595 | Who then composed this odious Anglican, monarchical, aristocratical party? |
18595 | Why drive them from those markets into others which were less advantageous? |
18595 | Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the union by which they were procured? |
18595 | _ Ques._ V. If they have the right, is it expedient to do either? |
18595 | and of the government of the United States in submitting to it? |
18595 | and that neither gratitude nor resentment should constitute a feature of the American character?" |
18595 | and which? |
18595 | if it is, what should be the particular objects of such a call? |
18595 | is it rendered impossible by its vices? |
18595 | may they either renounce them or hold them suspended until the government of France shall be_ established_? |
18595 | of the constant favour of the great mass of his fellow citizens, and of the confidence which, to the last moment of his life, they reposed in him? |
18595 | or at least, in wishes for a more intimate connexion? |
18595 | or does it lay any other restraints upon them more than would apply to the ships of war of France? |
18595 | or of a mixed and equivocal character? |
18595 | shall it contain a declaration of neutrality or not? |
18595 | that a friend and an enemy should be treated with equal favour? |
18595 | to liberty and to despotism?" |
18595 | what shall it contain? |
18595 | why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? |
18595 | will they not henceforth be deaf to those advisers, if such there are, who would sever them from their brethren, and connect them with aliens? |
39518 | ''Yes?'' 39518 Are there any more old places like this in New York?" |
39518 | Are they fighters? 39518 But what are we going to eat? |
39518 | Ca n''t we go, too? |
39518 | Ca n''t we parade down the hallway? 39518 Cross your heart?" |
39518 | Did Sam wire you he would meet us? |
39518 | Did Washington send a polite letter to Howe or any of the British, when he started a fight? |
39518 | Did he give up and let Howe get away with him and his army? 39518 Did he mean it?" |
39518 | Do any of you children know why Wall Street has its name? |
39518 | Do you mean us, too, when you say''any one''? |
39518 | How can we cross, when there is nothing to cross? |
39518 | How much can you pay for? |
39518 | I do n''t want it-- do you? |
39518 | I have it in the trunk.--Why? |
39518 | I suppose you will be glad to crack walnuts and shell them for cake, eh? |
39518 | I wish we had time to cross from here and visit Morristown-- it is not so far in distance, but have we time to- day? |
39518 | I''ll ask mother-- shall I? |
39518 | Is anything going on in New York to- day? |
39518 | Is it time for the luncheon? |
39518 | Is n''t it lovely? 39518 Is this one of your practical jokes again?" |
39518 | Is you''se all right in here? |
39518 | It''s kind of stuffy in the house, is n''t it? |
39518 | Jim, do you know what saved George from bumping his head on the ground of City Hall Park that day? |
39518 | Mother, did n''t you bring the copy of our Washington history with you? |
39518 | Mother, if you all are going to have a good time, why ca n''t we have ice cream and cake for a treat up in the parlor? |
39518 | Not unusual.--Why? |
39518 | Now that we have seen the sights on Wall Street, what else can we see downtown? |
39518 | Now what? 39518 Now, whad''s dat chile talkin''uv in his sleep? |
39518 | Now, what does that mean? |
39518 | Of course you two Southerners know who first settled our fine city? |
39518 | Oh, where''d you find them? |
39518 | Shall we jump down and let them laugh at us? |
39518 | Shall we warn them, or just fall in? |
39518 | Shall we whisper to father and ask him what he can afford to pay for? |
39518 | Surely you did n''t expect to come into this dining- room covered with mud and rags, did you? |
39518 | Train? 39518 Well, as you know it so well, why do n''t you tell it to us?" |
39518 | Well, did n''t you run back, too? |
39518 | What did you expect to do? |
39518 | What do you say if we wire the garage in New York that we will not return till to- morrow? 39518 What do you suppose we hurried and bathed and combed our hair and dressed up for, if not for the circus this afternoon?" |
39518 | What do you think? 39518 What hotel are we going to?" |
39518 | What shall we do if some of them follow us up here and try to catch us? |
39518 | What shall we do? |
39518 | What shall we order? |
39518 | What shall we visit to- day? |
39518 | What''s on the other side of your high fence? |
39518 | What''s the matter there, father? 39518 What_ are_ you all laughing at, anyway?" |
39518 | When did you get home? |
39518 | Where are the stolen children? |
39518 | Where are you going, father? |
39518 | Where did you find them, officer? |
39518 | Where is it? |
39518 | Where? |
39518 | Who are you? |
39518 | Who can tell the story of Stony Point? |
39518 | Who knows what this is? |
39518 | Why, I do n''t think we''ll need any dinner, do you? 39518 Why, I think Benjamin Franklin did, did n''t he, Jack?" |
39518 | Why, this hallway is our river, ca n''t you see? 39518 Will you have enough to pay for a dish of ice cream and a sandwich?" |
39518 | ''Where is it?'' |
39518 | After greetings were all over, Jack began:"Daddy, are we going to do anything to- day? |
39518 | And what do you suppose Jim did? |
39518 | Are n''t you coming?" |
39518 | Are these our children?" |
39518 | But it took Washington''s army to lick them, did n''t it, father?" |
39518 | CHAPTER VIII A FIGHT WITH THE HESSIANS"Children, have you planned to do anything this morning?" |
39518 | Ca n''t we help?" |
39518 | Could five bellboys have played that joke? |
39518 | Could n''t we leave the children to go to bed alone for this time?" |
39518 | Do n''t you remember?" |
39518 | Do they play fair?" |
39518 | Do you know where you are going, uncle?" |
39518 | Do you remember how soft and squashy they were when they hit you in the head?" |
39518 | He diden bump, did he?" |
39518 | Hear them shouting and things bumping about up there?" |
39518 | Is dat all right foh de whole party?" |
39518 | Is some one killed?" |
39518 | Is this the way my historical readings are interpreted?" |
39518 | Nothing like a little fight to give one an appetite, eh?" |
39518 | The boys stood looking over the motley assortment of things, when suddenly Jack exclaimed:"What do you say to playing war? |
39518 | The waiter shouted and berated Maggie, and she pulled at her hair and rolled her eyes upward, crying:"What shall I do? |
39518 | We would n''t think of boarding anywhere else, would we, when we are related to Martha?''" |
39518 | What boy or girl does not worship his first watch, and find it necessary to consult the time every few minutes during the first days it is carried? |
39518 | What do you think he was reading?" |
39518 | What has happened to thim children? |
39518 | What shall I do? |
39518 | While waiting for dessert( the children had ice cream every time) Mr. Davis remarked:"Any one want to go to the theatre to- night? |
39518 | Who told you about it?" |
39518 | You out of bed?" |
28205 | ( You''re name is John Honeyman?) |
28205 | (_ crack of whip_) CORPORAL(_ low_) What''s that? |
28205 | (_ door closes_) WASHINGTON Now, what is it? |
28205 | (_ door shuts_) WASHINGTON(_ low_) What news? |
28205 | (_ in_) Be ye General Washington? |
28205 | (_ knock_) Will you see who''s at the door, Colonel Reed? |
28205 | (_ voices repeat order, etc._) Shall the artillery lead or follow, sir? |

28205 | HONEYMAN(_ off, coming in_) So- o- o, boss-- where''s that dang critter gone to? |
28205 | Has Colonel Rall taken any precautions against surprise? |
28205 | Has he crossed the Hudson? |
28205 | Has he left Peekskill yet? |
28205 | Have you heard any rumor about him? |
28205 | How are you going to get your information to me? |
28205 | How fer to the next one north? |
28205 | I suppose the force we have is even smaller today than it was yesterday? |
28205 | If the second in command wo n''t obey orders, is it any wonder that the rest of the army is out of hand? |
28205 | Is that satisfactory? |
28205 | Is there nothing else in store for us? |
28205 | KNOX Artillery first, sir? |
28205 | KNOX Sir, ca n''t we go back across the river, suddenly-- and strike a blow before the enemy knows what we are up to? |
28205 | KNOX What is it? |
28205 | Left Philadelphia? |
28205 | Of course if General Lee would join me-- there was n''t any word from Lee this morning, was there? |
28205 | Oh, Corporal-- CORPORAL Yes, sir? |
28205 | Pshaw, is that all? |
28205 | RALL Eh, what''s that? |
28205 | RALL Hard work? |
28205 | RALL Thanks-- hm-- how many did you say there were? |
28205 | RALL Why should we? |
28205 | RALL Why-- what''s the matter with that? |
28205 | RALL(_ chuckling_) Well, Honeyman, what do you expect o''soldiers? |
28205 | RALL(_ laughing_) What for? |
28205 | REED They say, sir, it''s Honeyman the Tory, and you left orders-- WASHINGTON Honeyman? |
28205 | REED Will you sign these, sir? |
28205 | REED Yes sir, over what route? |
28205 | SOLDIER What for? |
28205 | See all the ice? |
28205 | See anything, Corporal? |
28205 | They come across the river, do they? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Alone? |
28205 | WASHINGTON And what can I do for you, Mr. Honeyman? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Ca n''t make it? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Colonel Glover, can your regiment of seafaring men handle our boats in that river? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Did you see any sign of General Green''s command on the river road? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Good morning, Colonel, what news? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Have we no information of the British movements yet? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Have you any information now? |
28205 | WASHINGTON How much do you want for your information? |
28205 | WASHINGTON I am, and what can I do for you? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Indeed? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Now, shall I turn you lose, Honeyman? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Oh, why does n''t he answer? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Ragamuffins? |
28205 | WASHINGTON So--? |
28205 | WASHINGTON So? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Then what--? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Well? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Well? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Well? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Well? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Were they abreast of us? |
28205 | WASHINGTON What''s the matter with our intelligence service? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Who is it? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Who''s commanding? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Why? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Yes, yes, that''s one advantage of a small army, is n''t it, Colonel? |
28205 | WASHINGTON Your name is John Honeyman? |
28205 | We ca n''t hope to do anything without Lee''s help, so there''s nothing for us to do but retreat-- REED Again? |
28205 | We''ve got you at last, eh? |
28205 | What about it? |
28205 | What could they do to my trained Hessians? |
28205 | What fer? |
28205 | What''s he got in his other hand? |
28205 | Why does n''t he come? |
28205 | Will you follow me on a blind chance? |
8145 | ''What, then, is incumbent upon us, his countrymen? 8145 For God''s sake, tell me,"said he, in a letter to Colonel Humphreys,"what is the cause of all these commotions? |
8145 | What must have been the recollections that crowded on the mind of Washington during this triumphant progress? 8145 What was to be the future of that nation? |
8145 | While we were fixed in silent grief, Mrs. Washington, who was sitting at the foot of the bed, asked, with a firm and collected voice,''Is he gone?'' 8145 A country willing to redress your wrongs, cherish your worth, and reward your services? 8145 And for what is all this? 8145 And for what is this done? 8145 And now much easier will it be to disperse the factions which are rushing to this catastrophe than to subdue them after they shall appear in arms? 8145 Are not their interests inseparably connected with those of their constituents? 8145 Bromfield called out,Who commands in this fort?" |
8145 | But how are they to be promoted? |
8145 | But is this sense of honor consistent with the spirit of plunder or the practice of murder? |
8145 | But who are they to defend? |
8145 | But why should I expect to be free from censure, the unfailing lot of an elevated station? |
8145 | But would the superintendence of this work break in too much on the sweets of retirement and repose? |
8145 | But, it was added, if so much power followed the assumption as the objection implies, is it not time to ask-- is it safe to forbear assuming? |
8145 | By the rotation of appointment, must they not mingle frequently with the mass of citizens? |
8145 | Can he be a friend to the army? |
8145 | Can he be a friend to this country? |
8145 | Can it be, that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue? |
8145 | Can it flow from mercenary motives? |
8145 | Can it well be otherwise in a country so extensive, so diversified in its interests? |
8145 | Can you then consent to be the only sufferers by this Revolution, and, retiring from the field, grow old in poverty, wretchedness, and contempt? |
8145 | Could Congress exert them for the detriment of the people, without injuring themselves in an equal or greater proportion? |
8145 | Do they proceed from licentiousness, British influence disseminated by the Tories, or real grievances which admit of redress? |
8145 | For how were the debtor States to be compelled to pay the balances which should be found against them? |
8145 | For what ties, let me ask, should we have upon those people? |
8145 | Have you not more than once suggested your wishes and made known your wants to Congress? |
8145 | He then looked at me again and said,''Do you understand me?'' |
8145 | He thus addressed them:"You have been taken by General Carleton, and he has used you with great humanity, would you be inclined to fight against him?" |
8145 | How have you been answered? |
8145 | I often asked myself, as our carriages separated, whether that was the last sight I ever should have of you? |
8145 | If assuming tends to consolidation, is the reverse, tending to disunion, a less weighty objection? |
8145 | If he answers in the affirmative, can you do this on these terms?" |
8145 | If the former, why are not the powers of the government tried at once? |
8145 | If the latter, why was redress delayed until the public mind had become so much agitated? |
8145 | Is it not time to retract from error and benefit by experience? |
8145 | Is there a doubt whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? |
8145 | Is this the case? |
8145 | It has placed her in the chair of independency; and peace returns again to bless-- whom? |
8145 | Nay, further, would there not even be some apparent foundation for the two former charges? |
8145 | Or do we want further proof of the ruinous system we have pertinaciously adhered to?" |
8145 | Or is it rather a country that tramples upon your rights, disdains your cries, and insults your distresses? |
8145 | Or leave matters as they are if there is no power in the executive to alter the place legally? |
8145 | Our wives, our children, our farms and other property, which we leave behind us? |
8145 | Pray, would not the word curiosity answer as well? |
8145 | Rather is he not an insidious foe? |
8145 | Religion and morality enjoin this conduct, and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? |
8145 | Simply state facts and say that I will meet the members at the time and place just mentioned for ulterior arrangements? |
8145 | Such a"Clarum et venerabile nomen gentibus?" |
8145 | The terms, I think, were these:''I desire to know, sir, what is the reason, whence arises this disorder and confusion?'' |
8145 | To bring the object we seek nearer? |
8145 | To his past services and to unquestionable? |
8145 | Under such propitious circumstances what mortal could doubt of success? |
8145 | Washington, on his coming up, asked,"Will you command on this ground or not? |
8145 | What can this writer have in view, by recommending such measures? |
8145 | What makes ambition virtue? |
8145 | What must the world think of such conduct, and of the government of the United States in submitting to it? |
8145 | What then is to be done? |
8145 | What then is to become of the army this winter? |
8145 | When, in July( 1796), Washington proposed to declare publicly his determination, Hamilton wrote to him,"If a storm gathers, how can you retreat? |
8145 | Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? |
8145 | Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
8145 | Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? |
8145 | Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the Union by which they were procured? |
8145 | Will they not henceforth be deaf to those advisers, if such there are, who would sever them from their brethren and connect them with aliens? |
8145 | for all this to the rent of the house in its original state for the two years that I am to hold it? |
8145 | is it rendered impossible by its vices? |
8145 | or can it prompt to cruel deeds?" |
8145 | to call into civilized alliance the wild and inhuman inhabitant of the woods? |
8145 | to delegate to the merciless Indian the defense of disputed rights and to wage the horrors of his barbarous war against our brethren? |
8145 | who besides a Tory could have foreseen, or a Briton have predicted them? |
25889 | How will the Yankees feel and act when the day of trial comes? 25889 How, my fellow- citizens, shall I single to your grateful hearts his pre- eminent worth? |
25889 | If I were to make peace with everybody,he said,"what should I do with my corsairs? |
25889 | Is there anything in the prospect of the interior state of the country, to encourage us to aggravate the dangers of a war? 25889 It is very early in the season for shad,"said the president;"how much did you pay for it?" |
25889 | Ought our country,he said,"to remain in such cases dependent on foreign supply, precarious, because liable to be interrupted? |
25889 | The liberty of the whole earth,he said,"was depending on the issue of the contest; and was ever such a prize won with so little innocent blood? |
25889 | To whom then is the nation to appeal, if the president decides against a treaty? |
25889 | V. If they have the right, is it expedient to do either, and which? 25889 What is to be done in the case of the_ Little Sarah_[ the original name of the_ Petite Democrat_] now at Chester?" |
25889 | When the fire is beginning to kindle, and your heart growing warm, propound these questions to it:''Who is this invader? 25889 Whether this adjustment was consistent with our treaty with France? |
25889 | While we were fixed in silent grief, Mrs. Washington, who was sitting at the foot of the bed, asked with a firm and collected voice,''Is he gone?'' 25889 Who is there that has forgotten the vales of Brandywine, the fields of Germantown, or the plains of Monmouth? |
25889 | Why do they complain that the West Indies are not laid open? 25889 Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
25889 | Will our government be able to temper and restrain the turbulence of such a crisis? 25889 ''What has been his walk of life? 25889 --''Well, but do n''t you perceive that it is like to be so?'' 25889 An end did I say? 25889 And for what is this done? 25889 And is this, in the judgment even of my opposers, to execute, to preserve the constitution, and the public order? 25889 And shall I dare speak what I hope? 25889 And what a compliment does he pay to our understandings, when he recommends measures, in either alternative, impracticable in their nature? 25889 Are not their interests inseparably connected with those of their constituents? 25889 Are the United States obliged by good faith to consider the treaties heretofore made with France as applying to the present situation of the parties? 25889 Are there not other points which equally concern the southern states? 25889 At that time the question, Where shall the seat of the federal government be permanently located? 25889 Below all is the significant question,_ Which is best_?" |
25889 | But how are they to be promoted? |
25889 | But let me ask the late champions of our rights, will our nation bear it? |
25889 | But who are they to defend? |
25889 | By the rotation of appointment, must they not mingle frequently with the mass of citizens? |
25889 | Can he be a friend to the army? |
25889 | Can he be a friend to this country? |
25889 | Can it be expected, then, that the southern or eastern parts of the empire will succeed in all their measures? |
25889 | Can it be, that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a Nation with its Virtue? |
25889 | Can they not love these soldiers who, after their example, repelled the enemies of their country? |
25889 | Can we wonder that what little discretion Genet possessed was completely overborne by this tide of seeming popularity?" |
25889 | Can you, then, consent to be the only sufferers by the Revolution, and, retiring from the field, grow old in poverty, wretchedness, and contempt? |
25889 | Could Congress exert them for the detriment of the public, without injuring themselves in an equal or greater proportion? |
25889 | Could the president affix his official seal to an act before it should be complete? |
25889 | Could the senate be considered to have ratified the treaty before the insertion of the new article? |
25889 | Could you lend them instantaneous funds sufficient to shelter them from English persecution?'' |
25889 | Do gentlemen rely on the state of peace because both nations will be more disposed to keep it? |
25889 | Does the war in which France is engaged appear to be offensive or defensive on her part? |
25889 | For what ties, let me ask, should we have upon those people? |
25889 | For who has before seen a disciplined army formed at once from such raw materials? |
25889 | Genet was surprised, and inquired if the Congress were not the sovereign? |
25889 | Has Britain this means of influence? |
25889 | Have I a competent knowledge of him? |
25889 | Have not the interests of the people of that county varied, or the inhabitants been taught to believe so? |
25889 | Have not the interests of these always been at variance? |
25889 | Have we not this instant heard it urged against our envoy, that he was not ardent enough in his hatred of Great Britain? |
25889 | He hesitated only when the question, Who shall be appointed? |
25889 | He significantly asked, Who will dissolve the government? |
25889 | He then looked at me again, and said,''Do you understand me?'' |
25889 | How can he answer it to his country? |
25889 | How is this disorder in the machine to be rectified? |
25889 | How is this to be effected? |
25889 | I ask further, when such attempts have been made, whether they have not failed of success? |
25889 | If all tyrants unite against a free people, should not all free people unite against tyrants? |
25889 | If all was granted, would not a treaty of amity with Great Britain still be obnoxious? |
25889 | If it is, what should be the_ particular_ object of such a call? |
25889 | If of a mixed and equivocal character, does the guaranty, in any event, apply to such a war? |
25889 | If received, shall it be absolutely without qualifications; and if with qualifications, of what kind? |
25889 | If self- interest is their governing principle, will it forsake them, or be restrained by such an event? |
25889 | If they have an option, would it be a breach of neutrality to consider the treaties still in operation? |
25889 | Immediately after his inauguration, he inquired of Morris:"What are we to do with this heavy debt?" |
25889 | In such a republic, who will exclude them from the rights of citizens, and the fruits of their labors? |
25889 | Institutions grow up supported by the public purse; and to what object can it be dedicated with greater propriety?" |
25889 | Is he a gambler, a spendthrift, or drunkard? |
25889 | Is he a man of good character? |
25889 | Is it advantageous to a republic to have a connection with a monarch? |
25889 | Is it going off the ground of matter of fact to say, the rejection of the appropriation proceeds upon the doctrine of a civil war of the departments? |
25889 | Is it necessary or advisable to call together the two houses of Congress, with a view to the present posture of European affairs? |
25889 | Is there a doubt whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? |
25889 | Is this a chimera? |
25889 | It is taken, and the question is,''What, under the circumstances, ought to be done?'' |
25889 | It was served for breakfast in the best style, and set before the president, who asked the steward,"What kind of fish is this?" |
25889 | Let her marry, and what is the consequence? |
25889 | May they either renounce them, or hold them suspended till the government of France shall be_ established_? |
25889 | Nay, farther, would there not be some apparent foundation for the two former charges? |
25889 | Or does it lay any other restraint upon them more than would apply to the ships of war with France? |
25889 | Our understandings have been addressed, it is true, and with ability and effect; but, I demand, has any corner of the heart been unexplored? |
25889 | Our wives, our children, our farms, and other property which we leave behind us? |
25889 | Pray, would not the word curiosity answer as well? |
25889 | Rather, is he not an insidious foe? |
25889 | Referring to a former letter, she said:--"Has this letter reached you? |
25889 | Religion and Morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be, that good policy does not equally enjoin it? |
25889 | Shall I be called upon to offer my proofs? |
25889 | Shall I be pardoned for saying its aspect was very different from what we now witness? |
25889 | Shall I speak of his warlike achievements, all springing from obedience to his country''s will-- all directed to his country''s good? |
25889 | Shall a friend and an enemy be treated with equal favor? |
25889 | Shall a minister from the republic of France be received? |
25889 | Shall it contain a declaration of neutrality, or not? |
25889 | Shall neither gratitude nor resentment constitute a feature of the American character?" |
25889 | Shall we cherish the spirit of peace, or show the energies of war? |
25889 | Shall we make our adversary afraid of our strength, or dispose him, by the measures of resentment and broken faith, to respect our rights? |
25889 | Should the future regent of France send a minister to the United States, ought he to be received? |
25889 | The contrary will inevitably introduce confusion and serious mischiefs-- and for what? |
25889 | The question arose at the beginning, and frequently recurred,"What limit has the convention in revising the Articles of Confederation? |
25889 | The question was, Shall the report be made orally or in writing? |
25889 | Then arose spontaneously in every mind the question,"Who shall command our army in this crisis?" |
25889 | Then they deemed war nearly inevitable, and would not this adjustment have been considered, at that day, as a happy escape from the calamity? |
25889 | Then, independently of other considerations, what would Virginia, and such other states as might be inclined to join her, gain by a separation? |
25889 | They asked, scornfully,"What law had been offended, and under what statute was the indictment supported? |
25889 | To bring the object we seek nearer? |
25889 | Was it necessary that it should arrive to excite your interest? |
25889 | Was it not always believed that there are some points which peculiarly interest the eastern states? |
25889 | Was the act complete and final, so as to make it unnecessary to refer it back to that body? |
25889 | What is the effect of a guaranty such as that to be found in the treaty of alliance between the United States and France? |
25889 | What must the world think of such conduct, and of the government of the United States in submitting to it? |
25889 | What shall it contain? |
25889 | What should I do with my soldiers? |
25889 | What then is to be done? |
25889 | What will be the old age of this government, if it is thus already decrepit?" |
25889 | When a measure passes by the proper authorities, shall it be stopped by force? |
25889 | When shall we again behold such a Congress and such a president?" |
25889 | When the cabinet had convened, the president submitted the question,"What shall be done with the treaty?" |
25889 | When, before, was affection like this exhibited on earth? |
25889 | Where is the Tacitus who shall write the history of its glorious actions and its abominable excesses? |
25889 | Where shall I begin in opening to your view a character throughout sublime? |
25889 | Where, then, can a man be found that would answer this description better than yourself? |
25889 | Who has forgotten the philippics of 1794? |
25889 | Who that is a sincere friend to it, can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? |
25889 | Who then would enter into such a plot? |
25889 | Why do they lament that any restriction is stipulated on the commerce of the East Indies? |
25889 | Why do they pretend, that if they reject this, and insist upon more, more will be accomplished? |
25889 | Why quit our own to stand on foreign ground? |
25889 | Why was he, to whom the observances of sacred things were ever primary duties through life, without their consolations in his last moments?'' |
25889 | Why? |
25889 | Will he not feel some dread that a change of system will reverse the scene? |
25889 | Will it add, it is my duty to ask, to the patience and quiet of our citizens, to see their rights abandoned? |
25889 | Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the UNION by which they were procured? |
25889 | Will they let the casuists quibble away the very words, and adulterate the generous spirit of the constitution? |
25889 | Will they not henceforth be deaf to those advisers, if such there are, who would sever them from their brethren, and connect them with aliens? |
25889 | Will you-- may we flatter ourselves that, in a crisis so awful and important, you will accept the command of all our armies? |
25889 | Would not the shock of that evil produce another, and shake down the feeble and then unbraced structure of our government? |
25889 | Would they not, most unquestionably, be the weaker party?" |
25889 | a man of sense?'' |
25889 | and has it power to prepare an entirely new system of government?" |
25889 | and how the clamors against it, from New Hampshire to Georgia, can be accounted for? |
25889 | because injuries and insults still harder to endure, will be mutually offered?... |
25889 | exclaimed the Count d''Artois, one of Louis''s bad advisers,"do you make a motion for the states- general?" |
25889 | for all this to the rent of the house in its original state, for the two years that I am to hold it? |
25889 | for what purpose of interest or ambition? |
25889 | is it rendered impossible by its vices? |
25889 | or of a mixed and equivocal character? |
25889 | said he,''not even a sentinel? |
25889 | what can this writer have in view by recommending such measures? |
28618 | ''How can I refuse to go now that I have enlisted, and my trunk is on board?'' 28618 ''What proceedings?'' |
28618 | ''You surprise me, father; to what can you refer?'' 28618 A very discouraging fact indeed,"answered the staff officer;"and how will you fill the breach created by their going?" |
28618 | Ai n''t the house yours, and the garden, and the horses and oxen and sheep? |
28618 | Ai n''t you my_ true_ father, pa? |
28618 | An attack all along the line? |
28618 | And give all my time to the work? |
28618 | And how did he take it? |
28618 | And how many inhabitants of Boston are there in the city now? |
28618 | And how many men? |
28618 | And if the whole British army attack us, what then? |
28618 | And is that all? |
28618 | And it was a kind of relief to let your tender regard express itself in poetry? |
28618 | And take the risk? |
28618 | And what are your wishes about the time of starting? |
28618 | And what did you tell him? |
28618 | And what do you propose? |
28618 | And what do you seek here? |
28618 | And what is that? |
28618 | And what is their temper now? |
28618 | And where are you going? |
28618 | And where is your cabin? |
28618 | And who is Frazier? |
28618 | And you interposed and tried to reconcile the angry parties? |
28618 | Any letters about you? |
28618 | Are they not our children, planted by our care, nourished by our indulgence, and protected by our arms? |
28618 | Are you shot? |
28618 | Are you shot? |
28618 | Are you sure they are strangers? |
28618 | Are you the poet who writes such lines as these? |
28618 | Ay, how do you make that out? 28618 Better than playing soldier?" |
28618 | Business relating to the expedition against Fort Duquesne, I suppose? |
28618 | But I was told at Venango that they had_ eight_? |
28618 | But seriously, where do you think he is going? |
28618 | But suppose Parliament actually imposes a tax upon us, and sends agents to collect it, what can be done? |
28618 | But what is it, my son? 28618 But who should make it there, pa? |
28618 | But you believe in patriotism? |
28618 | But you will stop and dine with us? |
28618 | By his abrupt inquiry,''What did you come here about?'' 28618 By what authority are you trespassing upon these grounds?" |
28618 | By whose authority do you make this demand? |
28618 | Ca n''t we stop the raft and let the ice go by? |
28618 | Can I go? |
28618 | Can you ascertain for me the number and strength of the British on Long Island? |
28618 | Can you give me any idea of your intended progress? |
28618 | Can you go with us and show us the nearest way? |
28618 | Can you provide me with a canoe? |
28618 | Colonel Washington retired? 28618 Dead?" |
28618 | Did I not direct you_ how_ to do it? |
28618 | Did I not tell you to do that piece of work? |
28618 | Did any one ever try? |
28618 | Did no one attempt to prevent or reconcile this trouble? |
28618 | Did she respond to your professions of love? |
28618 | Did the condition of the bodies show that the massacre was recent? |
28618 | Did the men fight well? |
28618 | Did they make an attack? |
28618 | Did you ever see such a sight in all your life- time? |
28618 | Do I ever tell lies? |
28618 | Do I understand that I may be excused immediately after dinner? |
28618 | Do n''t? 28618 Do you propose an immediate movement?" |
28618 | Do you think of anything else it is essential for me to do? 28618 Do you think that your sickness will prove fatal?" |
28618 | Do you think the people of America would submit to pay the stamp duty if it was moderated? |
28618 | Does God give me everything? 28618 General Moultrie, what do you think about giving up the fort?" |
28618 | George, did you do it? |
28618 | George,said his father,"do you know who killed that cherry- tree in the garden?" |
28618 | Have they attained to this excellence of drill under your command? |
28618 | Have you any better evidence of their depredations than rumor? |
28618 | Have you any suspicions as to who the murderers were? |
28618 | Have you practised much in this art? |
28618 | Have you seen him? |
28618 | How about crossing the river with so much floating ice in it? |
28618 | How about the boy who was captured and carried through this place? |
28618 | How can I give you anything, George? 28618 How can it be so?" |
28618 | How can that be? |
28618 | How could such a thing happen? |
28618 | How does it happen that you are traveling on foot in this direction? |
28618 | How far away? |
28618 | How great is the distance? |
28618 | How is that, my son? 28618 How is that?" |
28618 | How is that? |
28618 | How large a force do you imagine the French have at Duquesne? |
28618 | How many Americans were engaged in it? |
28618 | How many guns does the fort mount? |
28618 | How many troops of the king hold Boston? |
28618 | How many were killed? |
28618 | How many, then? |
28618 | How much water here, massa? 28618 How resist?" |
28618 | How so? |
28618 | How were you received at the fort? |
28618 | How would you like a midshipman''s berth on a British man- of- war? |
28618 | How would you like to go to Mr. Williams''school at Bridge''s Creek, George? |
28618 | How would you like to survey my lands for me, George? 28618 If the Stamp Act is not repealed, what do you think will be the consequences?" |
28618 | In large force? |
28618 | In what way did he show his sternness? |
28618 | Is it possible? |
28618 | Is it wise to march against the fort at this late season and in this rough weather? |
28618 | Is there no hope? |
28618 | Is this the charger and this the servant presented to you by General Braddock? |
28618 | It would seem so,remarked Mrs. Washington;"but are there no rules relating to our higher duties to God among the whole number?" |
28618 | Just to see what you could do? |
28618 | May it not be that a remarkable future is before him? |
28618 | My fingers are frozen, and some of my toes; and what is to prevent the freezing of the remainder of my body? |
28618 | No more? |
28618 | Pray, tell me, who gave you any exercise of judgment in the matter? 28618 Retired?" |
28618 | Shall I go soon? |
28618 | Shall we allow the enemy to leave the city without attacking them? |
28618 | Then why have you not done as you were directed to do? |
28618 | Then you do n''t think he is going home? |
28618 | Then you do not believe the war is ended yet? |
28618 | Then you mean I shall be a planter? |
28618 | Then you think it did not grow there by_ chance_? |
28618 | They are not original with him, are they? |
28618 | They nourished by your indulgence? 28618 Thou hast, it may be, wealth, stores of money; but how much of it is of use to thee? |
28618 | To what do you particularly refer? |
28618 | We must fight the enemy somewhere; why not here? |
28618 | Well, George, might not such a thing happen though I never saw it before? |
28618 | Well, boys, have you seen the Arabian colt in your walks this morning? |
28618 | Well, where is he? 28618 What about the French forts near New Orleans?" |
28618 | What can you do? |
28618 | What chance? |
28618 | What did he say? |
28618 | What do you call it, George, and what do you ever expect to do with it? |
28618 | What do you mean, you dastard? |
28618 | What has been done with John Trotter and James McClochlan, two Pennsylvania traders, whom the French captured and carried away with all their goods? |
28618 | What is it? |
28618 | What is the matter now, Isaac? 28618 What is the meaning of all this, sir?" |
28618 | What is there at New Orleans? |
28618 | What is this that I hear about a quarrel among you, boys? |
28618 | What is this, George? |
28618 | What is your advice, Colonel Washington, under the circumstances? |
28618 | What makes you think so? |
28618 | What next? |
28618 | What next? |
28618 | What officers fell? |
28618 | What part of the town can be most effectively cannonaded? |
28618 | What party? |
28618 | What shall I study? |
28618 | What shall you tell her? |
28618 | What should an oysterman come to our landing for? |
28618 | What think you,continued Washington,"if we should retreat to the back part of Pennsylvania, would the Pennsylvanians support us?" |
28618 | What was it, then, do you think, my son? |
28618 | What water, massa? 28618 What will be my duties if I get the appointment?" |
28618 | What will the people of our country say to that? |
28618 | What''s the harm? |
28618 | What''s the matter, my son? 28618 What, then, will you do?" |
28618 | When did you leave Venango? |
28618 | Where and when shall we be in a better condition to meet the enemy? |
28618 | Where are the guards? |
28618 | Where can he have gone? |
28618 | Where did you leave your horses and the rest of your party? |
28618 | Where? 28618 Where?" |
28618 | Where? |
28618 | Who are coming, my little man? |
28618 | Who are these Americans? |
28618 | Who assigned such a part to you? |
28618 | Who is equal to it? |
28618 | Who is she, and where does she live? |
28618 | Who led them? |
28618 | Whose daughter was she, then? |
28618 | Why did you return? |
28618 | Why do n''t they fire? |
28618 | Why do you call it_ gunpowder_ tea? |
28618 | Why do you not lend a helping hand? |
28618 | Why so? |
28618 | Why, no, pa; did you ever know anybody''s name in a plant bed before? |
28618 | Will you take a walk with us? |
28618 | With courage and skill to correspond they can withstand quite a siege; and what is there at Twigtwies? |
28618 | Without appealing again to the king? |
28618 | Without reinforcements from Colonel Fry? |
28618 | Without returning to Mount Vernon? |
28618 | Yes; but who is it? |
28618 | You are resolved to attack them? |
28618 | You black rascal, I knew it was salt water; I only wanted to know how_ much_ water you have there? |
28618 | You mean God, do n''t you? |
28618 | You think that he will recover? |
28618 | Your part? |
28618 | _ I_ wish so now,answered one of his companions;"but who ever thought that the colt could kill himself?" |
28618 | An end did I say? |
28618 | As he was laid down, pale and near spent with loss of blood, he faintly said to Washington:"Well, colonel, what''s to be done now?" |
28618 | As if not satisfied with that, Washington looked up to him again, and said:"Do you understand me?" |
28618 | Before this time, Colonel Reed said to him one day,"When shall we stop this everlasting retreating and make a stand?" |
28618 | Besides, what have we to build a raft with? |
28618 | But he did not succeed?" |
28618 | But how are you succeeding?" |
28618 | But how do you know that you ca n''t ride him? |
28618 | But what are these forms, anyhow?" |
28618 | But what can I do? |
28618 | Ca n''t you tell me what has happened?" |
28618 | Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue? |
28618 | Can you name a trusty man who will find out?" |
28618 | Could_ chance_ bring about all these things so exactly as to suit your_ wants_ and_ wishes_?" |
28618 | Did_ you_ fight?" |
28618 | Do n''t I see the poor people every day carrying away your bread, and yet paying you nothing?" |
28618 | Do n''t it look very much like_ chance_?" |
28618 | Do n''t you give me_ some things_?" |
28618 | George tried to keep the peace, did he? |
28618 | Have you ever tried?" |
28618 | He called upon the pastor, Dr. Johns, and inquired:"Does it accord with the canons of your church to admit communicants of another denomination?" |
28618 | He declined to accept the large gift, saying:"What will the world think if they should hear that I have taken fifty thousand dollars for this affair? |
28618 | He must attempt something on account of his reputation, for what has he done as yet with his great army?" |
28618 | How can they trust you with the bayonet at their breasts? |
28618 | How could I give life to the oxen and horses, when I ca n''t give life even to a fly, my son?" |
28618 | How is it, William( addressing William Bustle), what do you know about it?" |
28618 | How, my fellow- citizens, shall I single to your grateful hearts his pre- eminent worth? |
28618 | I lend a helping hand?" |
28618 | If this be true, how much do mankind owe to the mother of Washington?" |
28618 | In his interview with the commander, Washington inquired of him:"By what authority have the French made prisoners of several of our English subjects?" |
28618 | Is there a doubt whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? |
28618 | Knowlton''s last words were,"Did we drive the enemy in?" |
28618 | Mr. Hobby continued:"Is it true that some of my boys have been fighting?" |
28618 | Mrs. Washington had been sitting in silent grief all the while, at the foot of the bed; but now she inquired with calmness:"Is he gone?" |
28618 | Now, George( turning to George Washington), shall we hear what you have to say about this unfortunate trouble?" |
28618 | On his way, a tithing man came out of a house and inquired of the coachman:"Is there any necessity of your travelling on the Lord''s Day?" |
28618 | One day Lawrence surprised him by the inquiry,"George, how would you like to take lessons in the manual exercise of Adjutant Muse?" |
28618 | Pray, sir, what is the reason?" |
28618 | Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? |
28618 | Seeing a man chopping wood, Washington inquired:"Which way is the Hessian picket?" |
28618 | Shall I speak of his warlike achievements, all springing from obedience to his country''s will, all directed to his country''s good? |
28618 | The brave Colonel Barré, with cheeks all inflamed with virtuous indignation, replied:"They planted by your care? |
28618 | The lady now archly observed,''I perceive that your excellency''s eyes are turned to the right object; what say you to your wager now, sir?'' |
28618 | They protected by your arms? |
28618 | Through Van Braam, he inquired:"Where do you hail from now?" |
28618 | Weems says that he called to one of them:"Cudjo, what water have you there?" |
28618 | What could he do? |
28618 | When before was affection like this exhibited on earth? |
28618 | Where I going get quart pot for measure him?" |
28618 | Where is my wampum that you took away with the marks of towns on it? |
28618 | Where shall I begin in opening to your view a character throughout sublime? |
28618 | Where will it meet a man so experienced in military affairs-- one so renowned for patriotism, conduct, and courage? |
28618 | Where?" |
28618 | Who could hack it in that manner?" |
28618 | Who has so great a knowledge of the enemy we have to deal with?... |
28618 | Who is there that has forgotten the vales of Brandywine, the fields of Germantown, or the plains of Monmouth? |
28618 | Who made it there?" |
28618 | Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? |
28618 | Who, in short, so able to support the military character of Virginia? |
28618 | Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
28618 | Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? |
28618 | Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the Union by which they were procured? |
28618 | Will they not henceforth be deaf to those advisers, if such there are, who would sever them from their brethren, and connect them with aliens? |
28618 | Will they not suspect, on my next proposition, that money is my motive? |
28618 | ai n''t I a good boy? |
28618 | by repealing a piece of parchment? |
28618 | do n''t I always run to you soon as I hear you call_?'' |
28618 | exclaimed Washington,"General Pierre Paul?" |
28618 | his mother exclaimed,"what can you mean, George?" |
28618 | how much water here? |
28618 | inquired Washington, recalling some experiences of the past,"or do you announce what you_ know_ to be a fact?" |
28618 | is it rendered impossible by its vices? |
28618 | satisfy them by repealing a bit of paper? |
28618 | sea water always salt water, ai n''t he, massa?" |
28618 | ten thousand peasants keep five thousand king''s troops shut up? |
28618 | what of that? |
28618 | what water? |
28618 | what''s the matter?" |
10094 | A big plantation, Polete? |
10094 | A letter I wrote to you? |
10094 | A thousand regulars, as many more provincials, guns, and every equipage,--yes, it is large enough and strong enough, unless--"Unless?" |
10094 | All is well, I trust, Lieutenant Stewart? |
10094 | Am I to understand that you mean to insult me, sir? |
10094 | Am I to understand this is a threat? |
10094 | And burning down their houses, perhaps? |
10094 | And did he suffer? |
10094 | And have about sounded the depths of Master Scott''s learning, I suppose? |
10094 | And he wishes to enter the fort? |
10094 | And how far have we come? |
10094 | And how is Colonel Washington? |
10094 | And how is everything at Riverview, Sam? |
10094 | And how many were wounded? |
10094 | And how went it with the men? |
10094 | And if there is? |
10094 | And is it for that only you are kind to me, Dorothy? |
10094 | And my honor? |
10094 | And my mother? |
10094 | And now, what shall we do with this cur? |
10094 | And that the niggers must help them? |
10094 | And the Indians? |
10094 | And this was done? |
10094 | And were persecuted just as the early martyrs were? |
10094 | And what day is this? |
10094 | And what does Dorothy think of this arrangement? |
10094 | And what is he doing there, Sam? |
10094 | And what make of man is the general? |
10094 | And what was the outcome of your mission, sir? |
10094 | And what was the result? |
10094 | And who was it you sat with here last time, Dorothy? |
10094 | And why do you look so savage, Tom? |
10094 | And why, may I ask, madame? |
10094 | And you love me, do you not, Tom? |
10094 | And you will not forget me, Tom? |
10094 | And you will not make the campaign? |
10094 | And your mother and father,I asked, as we started back together,"fled from France rather than give up their faith?" |
10094 | Are we not cousins, Tom? |
10094 | Are you all damned cowards? |
10094 | Are you there, Tom? |
10094 | Ask M. Drouillon,he said,"why an ambassador thought it necessary to bring with him a guard of thirty men?" |
10094 | Boston? 10094 But about yourself?" |
10094 | But are you strong enough? |
10094 | But if you had not, where should I have been? |
10094 | But may not that be the fault of the teacher, Lieutenant Allen? |
10094 | But they were never sorry? |
10094 | But was he right? |
10094 | But what fortunate chance has brought you here? |
10094 | But what has happened? 10094 But what is it, man? |
10094 | But when will next time be, think you? |
10094 | But why would he not let her marry him? |
10094 | But why? |
10094 | But you will go armed? |
10094 | But, mammy,I repeated impatiently,"what has happened?" |
10094 | By killing the English, Sam? |
10094 | Can the king''s soldiers find no enemies to his empire that they must fight among themselves? |
10094 | Can we not be of use, Captain Stewart? |
10094 | Can you doubt? |
10094 | Can you not guess, dear Dolly,I whispered"why I was so angry with him last night? |
10094 | D''plantation? 10094 Did you quarrel with your aunt before you came away?" |
10094 | Do n''t you remember, dear, what happened just before the troops came? |
10094 | Do you call this going to war? |
10094 | Do you call this war? |
10094 | Do you hear it? |
10094 | Do you know what it is? |
10094 | Do you mean that I am not going to get well, Dorothy? |
10094 | Do you mean that the house is on fire? |
10094 | Do you mean,I asked at last,"that you would be outranked by every subaltern in the service who holds a royal commission?" |
10094 | Do you need to ask? |
10094 | Do you not see what it is, madam? |
10094 | Do you really anticipate that the French will march against us, Colonel Innes? |
10094 | Do you remember, dear,he said, and his voice was trembling,"what you told me one day by the river-- that you meant to be brave under trial?" |
10094 | Do you think we are cowards, we women? 10094 Do you want a court- martial?" |
10094 | Don''yo''''membah boat d''whip, Mas''Tom, what I stole? |
10094 | Dorothy,I asked suddenly,"was Brightson killed?" |
10094 | Dorothy,I cried,"what are you doing here? |
10094 | Dr. Price,I whispered eagerly,"will you do me the favor of presenting me to that young lady?" |
10094 | Forget you, Dolly? 10094 Forgive you, aunt?" |
10094 | Friends,he said,"does either of you know the burial service? |
10094 | Good Gawd, Mas''Tom,he cried, his teeth chattering together and cutting off his words queerly,"don''yo''see who''tis? |
10094 | Have I been ill? |
10094 | Have dee got me''gin? 10094 Have you gone, Tom?" |
10094 | Have you not heard? |
10094 | Have you not? |
10094 | He says the French are coming to set all the niggers free? |
10094 | Help them how, Sam? |
10094 | How comes it I heard nothing of him when I was at Riverview? |
10094 | How did it happen? |
10094 | How do you find the general? |
10094 | How is this any greater than the risk we took at the outset? |
10094 | How? |
10094 | I may call you Dorothy, may I not? |
10094 | I suppose you considered your words before you spoke them, Lieutenant Stewart? |
10094 | Is it Mas''Tom? |
10094 | Is it not a little for my own sake? |
10094 | Is it not so? |
10094 | Is it that there is a pair of bright eyes here in Williamsburg which you are dying to talk about? 10094 Is it true,"I asked, too anxious to delay an instant the solution of the mystery,"that you have left the service?" |
10094 | Is it you, Stewart? |
10094 | Is it you, doctor? |
10094 | Is my mother there? |
10094 | Is there any other here who speaks French? |
10094 | Is there any water in the house? |
10094 | Know him? 10094 Let me see,"continued the Frenchman,"when was it the first detachment left the fort?" |
10094 | Mas''Tom what let me go? |
10094 | May I ask what it is you propose, Colonel Innes? |
10094 | May I ask your Excellency''s permission to appoint Mr. Stewart here one of my ensigns? |
10094 | May I have your sword, lieutenant? |
10094 | May I speak to you a moment first? |
10094 | Mean? |
10094 | Next time? |
10094 | Oh, Tom, Tom,she cried,"do you not understand?" |
10094 | Oh, Tom,she sobbed, and clung to it,"can you forgive me?" |
10094 | Oh, do you think so? |
10094 | Oh, what do you think it can be? |
10094 | On what terms? |
10094 | Pray, why dost thou smile so, Tom? |
10094 | Risk? |
10094 | Shake the king''s empire? |
10094 | Shall I tell you the story, Thomas? |
10094 | So we are not to stop here? |
10094 | So you think there will be war? |
10094 | Stewart,asked Spiltdorph, in a low voice, after we had walked some time in silence,"how does it happen you knew the burial service?" |
10094 | Teach us? |
10094 | The last I saw him, he seemed most ill.Captain Orme looked at me quickly,"Have you not heard?" |
10094 | The witch man? 10094 They are going to attack us again, Tom, are they not?" |
10094 | Think you so? |
10094 | This is the place, is it not,he asked,"where Colonel Washington made his gallant stand against the French and Indians last year?" |
10094 | To what estate will you take her, sir? 10094 Told a lie for you, Sam?" |
10094 | Tom,said Washington suddenly,"what was the quarrel about? |
10094 | Understand what, Dorothy? |
10094 | Understand? |
10094 | Venango? |
10094 | Was it Mr. Burke? 10094 Well,"cried Allen harshly,"does our Virginia friend desire to withdraw?" |
10094 | Whar am I? |
10094 | What are they about? |
10094 | What could it be but you? |
10094 | What did he steal, uncle? |
10094 | What do you mean is over, Tom? |
10094 | What do you mean? |
10094 | What does he say? |
10094 | What does it say? |
10094 | What has happened? |
10094 | What has happened? |
10094 | What have I done? |
10094 | What have I not done, rather? 10094 What have you done that you should stand in need of my forgiveness?" |
10094 | What is it that you think enchantment, Tom? |
10094 | What is it, Pomp? |
10094 | What is it, Sam? |
10094 | What is it, Sam? |
10094 | What is it? |
10094 | What is it? |
10094 | What is it? |
10094 | What is it? |
10094 | What is it? |
10094 | What is it? |
10094 | What is it? |
10094 | What is your plan, sir? |
10094 | What mean you by that? |
10094 | What means this? |
10094 | What new deviltry are they up to now? |
10094 | What says he, sir? |
10094 | What think you they will do? |
10094 | What under heaven could have caused that? |
10094 | What was that? |
10094 | What was the color of their uniforms? |
10094 | What was the dream? |
10094 | What was the matter with me, Dorothy? |
10094 | What''s the matter, boy? |
10094 | What''s to be done? |
10094 | What, Mas''Tom,he exclaimed,"you mean dat you gib him de whip?" |
10094 | What, every whippersnapper in the line be your superior? 10094 What, still fuming, Tom?" |
10094 | What? |
10094 | When was that? |
10094 | Where are you hit? |
10094 | Where is Lieutenant Peyronie? |
10094 | Where is Spiltdorph? |
10094 | Where is he? |
10094 | Where is he? |
10094 | Where is my mother, Dolly? |
10094 | Where is this plantation, Polete? |
10094 | Where is your master? |
10094 | Where, Polete? |
10094 | Where, in heaven''s name, may that be? |
10094 | Where? 10094 Who are the gentlemen, mother?" |
10094 | Who is he? |
10094 | Who is this witch man? |
10094 | Why did Miss Evelyn die? |
10094 | Why not retreat to the roof? |
10094 | Why should there not be one? |
10094 | Why, Tom,she cried, with a little laugh, as she saw me wince at the pain,"you surely do not think yourself asleep?" |
10094 | Why, damme, sir, do you know who the Wyeths are? |
10094 | Why, is it you, Tom? |
10094 | Why,cried Peyronie, who voiced the sentiment of all of us,"''twould take two weeks or more to bring Dunbar up, and what are we to do meantime? |
10094 | Will you arrange the details for me? |
10094 | Will you cross with me? |
10094 | Wo n''t you come up here, Lieutenant Stewart? |
10094 | Yes, why do n''t they? |
10094 | Yes? |
10094 | You are not afraid, boy? |
10094 | You are not ill? |
10094 | You dare dispute my order? |
10094 | You do not mean me, Dorothy? |
10094 | You do not mean,I asked, with a great fear at my heart,"that you think it possible we shall retreat without striking another blow?" |
10094 | You know, of course, that there remains only one thing to be done? |
10094 | You mean you have gambled it away? |
10094 | You will need companions, will you not, Major Washington? |
10094 | You would have me decline to meet him, then? |
10094 | Ai n''t I said I done gwine t''lib wid yo''? |
10094 | And did you see the French?" |
10094 | And was General Braddock present on that day?" |
10094 | Are you wounded?" |
10094 | But there-- why weary you with telling what I felt? |
10094 | But what is the matter? |
10094 | Can I describe her as I close my eyes and see her again before me? |
10094 | Can you guess what I felt, Tom, when they brought it to me here, and I opened it and read that you had gone to the swamp alone amongst those devils? |
10094 | Can you guess what that is?" |
10094 | Can you shoot?" |
10094 | Could I do it? |
10094 | Could it be that the Indians had stolen upon him and killed him with a blow of knife or tomahawk before he could cry out? |
10094 | Dear fellow, I wonder what warrior, the envy of his tribe, smokes it now in his wigwam beside the Miami? |
10094 | Dee gwine to buhn me?" |
10094 | Did you know him?" |
10094 | Did you see how he disarmed me? |
10094 | Did you see that fellow in buckskin who ran in front?" |
10094 | Did you think I had so soon forgot the one who saved my life at Fort Necessity?" |
10094 | Do I guess aright,"he added, with a smile,"when I venture to say that you were present with him?" |
10094 | Do you know what I have here in my breast?" |
10094 | Do you know, Tom, I had no idea that melancholy boy I saw sometimes at Riverview would grow into such a-- such a"--"Such a what, Dorothy?" |
10094 | Do you promise me that?" |
10094 | Do you see any sign of the French? |
10094 | Do you understand?" |
10094 | Don''yo''know him?" |
10094 | Don''yo''see what we mus''do? |
10094 | Friends, will you help me bury my dead?" |
10094 | Had I not determined to be a soldier, and how was a soldier to find employment, but in war? |
10094 | Had my mother known, I wonder? |
10094 | Had she sent me no message? |
10094 | Had there been an accident? |
10094 | Has a witch man come to Riverview?" |
10094 | Has any one a better plan?" |
10094 | Have you ever heard the story of their fight at Fontenoy, ten years since, when they lost two hundred and forty men? |
10094 | Have you taken leave of your senses?" |
10094 | Her reference to the campaign was intended as a stab, of course, yet could it be she was relenting? |
10094 | Her voice, did I say? |
10094 | How about these house niggers?" |
10094 | How could I say more? |
10094 | How could you, knowing me as you have known me? |
10094 | How did you leave them all at Riverview?" |
10094 | How has he used you since?" |
10094 | How many of them fell?" |
10094 | I cried,"do you suppose we are the only ones who know? |
10094 | I gasped, seizing one of her hands,"Dorothy, tell me, you have told him no?" |
10094 | Is father dead?" |
10094 | Is it not so, sir?" |
10094 | Kain''t trabble fas''''nough fo''yo''? |
10094 | Let me see; how old are you?" |
10094 | Lieutenant Stewart, will you see that a meal and a good bed be provided? |
10094 | London?" |
10094 | May I ask, Mr. Stewart, if you consider yourself a good match for my daughter?" |
10094 | New York? |
10094 | Newton?" |
10094 | Now, if he has seen the army, he ought to know the color of the uniforms, ought he not?" |
10094 | Now, will you give the orders to the servants?" |
10094 | On what income will you support her? |
10094 | Once he asked for water, and as Orme and I stooped over him I heard him murmur as though to himself,"Who would have thought it?" |
10094 | Riverview mine? |
10094 | Sit here and eat this carrion?" |
10094 | So you''ve got back, sir? |
10094 | Stewart?" |
10094 | Stewart?" |
10094 | The thought maddened me,--yet why should she do otherwise? |
10094 | Was it Mr. Forsythe? |
10094 | Was it about the estate?" |
10094 | Was it worth beating a child for? |
10094 | Washington?" |
10094 | Washington?" |
10094 | Well, what say you to a course at William and Mary?" |
10094 | What ailed the women? |
10094 | What are you afraid of?" |
10094 | What claim had I upon her? |
10094 | What could it mean? |
10094 | What is it?" |
10094 | What is there left on earth for me?" |
10094 | What is this fellow saying?" |
10094 | What need to detail further? |
10094 | What say you, Stewart?" |
10094 | What say you, gentlemen?" |
10094 | What was it he had tried to tell? |
10094 | Where have you been all this time?" |
10094 | Which young lady?" |
10094 | Who could have done it? |
10094 | Who gave such an order?" |
10094 | Who is he?" |
10094 | Whose fault was it? |
10094 | Why do n''t the cowards try an assault?" |
10094 | Why should I, who came of as good family as any in Virginia, be compelled to swallow insults as I had to- night? |
10094 | Will one of the other gentlemen present act as my second?" |
10094 | Will you go with me?" |
10094 | Will you make the rounds and see that all is well? |
10094 | Will you suffer your father to depart alone?" |
10094 | Will you try again?" |
10094 | Would you like to see the pictures, sir?" |
10094 | Yet how could I refuse? |
10094 | Yet if that had happened, where was the body? |
10094 | You are not going to disappoint me, are you?" |
10094 | You do not believe in dreams, Spiltdorph?" |
10094 | You say you have seen the French marching, Polete?" |
10094 | and again,"Who would have thought it?" |
10094 | she questioned, pretending to look mightily concerned,"Do you think it is the fever, Tom?" |
44724 | Afraid? 44724 Ai n''t you going?" |
44724 | Am I to be allowed to enlist? |
44724 | Am I to go to the city? |
44724 | And because of a stroke of rare good fortune at a time when beset by enemies were enabled to bring important information? |
44724 | And do n''t belong to the army? |
44724 | And do n''t you call acting the rebel a serious matter? |
44724 | And get a flogging for your pains, without having done any one good? |
44724 | And now you do not think that will be possible? |
44724 | And that is what we are; but why do you take the middle of the road as if to dispute our right to pass? |
44724 | And this was the landing- place he appointed, was it not? |
44724 | And who is this with you? |
44724 | And who may you be, sir? |
44724 | And yet he told where we could be found? |
44724 | And you and the spy are cronies? |
44724 | And you are willing to stay here quietly? |
44724 | And you expect us to go with you? |
44724 | And you have no idea of what may be on foot? |
44724 | And you knew why he left the city on the day he was arrested? |
44724 | And you know, while you are trying to aid the cause, what is to be expected if you are captured? |
44724 | And you overheard a conversation at your mother''s house which you believed would be of value to us? |
44724 | And you think that would n''t be the case if some one got in ahead of you? |
44724 | And you will enlist in the regiment to which I belong? |
44724 | Are we likely to go far? |
44724 | Are you a friend? |
44724 | Are you boys willing to perform a little extra service? |
44724 | Are you certain this boy carried that information, Friend Williams? |
44724 | Are you counting on going anywhere? |
44724 | Are you going right away again? |
44724 | Are you going to leave your market- truck? |
44724 | Are you hurt, Jake? |
44724 | Are you intending to enlist? |
44724 | Are you ready? |
44724 | Are you the son of that widow Graydon who keeps the boarding- house for English officers? |
44724 | Are you willing to run a big risk? |
44724 | But I thought you counted on staying with your father? |
44724 | But am I not to see mother? |
44724 | But could a battle be fought while it is so hot? |
44724 | But do you think I would let you make an attempt to aid the cause, and not be with you? |
44724 | But does n''t it seem strange that you should n''t come in with a wagon? |
44724 | But how are you so certain as to the exact number? |
44724 | But how can General Lee prevent an engagement, if the commander- in- chief desires one? |
44724 | But how can we let them know? |
44724 | But how did you escape? |
44724 | But how did you get in? |
44724 | But how does it happen you are riding, and what are you doing here? |
44724 | But how is he to walk with those chains on him? |
44724 | But how is it when a fellow does n''t know how to command? |
44724 | But if he contemplates any audacious movement, why does he send Lafayette? |
44724 | But if the command is to be taken from General Howe, why is he getting ready for any movement? |
44724 | But is n''t being a soldier in the Continental army enough for you? |
44724 | But is n''t it dangerous to go ahead too boldly? 44724 But suppose you succeed?" |
44724 | But surely you do n''t expect there will be work to do now the Britishers have really begun to go? |
44724 | But tell me why I was allowed to come out of jail? |
44724 | But what are we to do now? 44724 But what could you do if we knew positively that he intends to help Seth escape from jail?" |
44724 | But what is the meaning of it? |
44724 | But what is the order? |
44724 | But what made you stay away so long? 44724 But why did n''t you say something about it before we left camp?" |
44724 | But you noticed how anxious the man was to learn about our troops? |
44724 | But, Jacob, must we remain quiet while they are killing poor Seth? |
44724 | But, Lord Gordon, do you know that the Britishers have left the city, and that in a very short time our forces will be here? |
44724 | But, what_ can_ we do? 44724 But_ are_ they prepared for it?" |
44724 | Ca n''t I get some rations here? |
44724 | Ca n''t I go with you? 44724 Ca n''t you help him, sir?" |
44724 | Can I see Colonel Powers? |
44724 | Can that be possible? |
44724 | Can you give me the substance of it without violating any confidence? |
44724 | Certainly, I knew the evacuation was for to- day; but it ca n''t be they have really gone? |
44724 | Could n''t we soon gain that? |
44724 | Did our men get possession of his body? |
44724 | Did she know he was going to meet the rebels? |
44724 | Did they capture him? |
44724 | Did you aid him in any way? |
44724 | Did you see the whole force? |
44724 | Did you swap him for the beast we took from Wharton''s stable? |
44724 | Did you tell her what General Washington said to me? |
44724 | Did you think the army would be composed of Seth, you, and I, and all three of us holding commissions because by chance we did our duty? |
44724 | Do n''t you think Mrs. Graydon ever carried any information to the American camp? |
44724 | Do they hang people for helping spies escape? |
44724 | Do you apprehend any difficulty in disposing of him if he continues his march? 44724 Do you intend to walk to the farm?" |
44724 | Do you know that he has escaped? |
44724 | Do you know what that means? |
44724 | Do you know where we can join any portion of the American army? |
44724 | Do you know why General Howe is to be removed from his command? |
44724 | Do you mean a man who was dressed as a farm- hand, and came into the market to sell vegetables? |
44724 | Do you mean our Seth-- your comrade? |
44724 | Do you mean that General Howe will march out of the city when there is no necessity of his doing so? |
44724 | Do you mean that a Britisher would speak a good word for Seth after it is known he has been carrying information to the Continental army? |
44724 | Do you mean that we are prisoners? |
44724 | Do you mean that you hesitate to become a soldier now we are where it is possible to enlist? |
44724 | Do you mean they have already started? |
44724 | Do you mean to say you have n''t had food since you left Philadelphia? |
44724 | Do you still think there is a chance of cutting our way through the end of the house? |
44724 | Do you suppose General Howe intends to march to Valley Forge? |
44724 | Do you suppose he found any officer of our army? |
44724 | Do you suppose it is possible our friends have any idea of making an attack on General Howe''s forces? |
44724 | Do you suppose it would be possible to cut our way through with knives? 44724 Do you think it will be necessary for us to run away with him?" |
44724 | Do you think they will hang him? |
44724 | Do you think we shall have a battle there? |
44724 | Does his mother know? |
44724 | Does that mean you would imperil your lives in the effort to save his? |
44724 | For what purpose, my son? |
44724 | For what purpose? |
44724 | For what reason? |
44724 | From the town? |
44724 | Has Jacob enlisted? |
44724 | Has Washington moved from Valley Forge? |
44724 | Has the army left the city? |
44724 | Has the day been fixed upon? |
44724 | Have all the Britishers left the city? |
44724 | Have been sent? |
44724 | Have n''t I met you before? |
44724 | Have n''t you heard that the French king has acknowledged the independence of the United States, and declares that he will befriend us? |
44724 | Have you anything more to tell me? |
44724 | Have you decided to do so? |
44724 | Heard, lad? 44724 How can we do that while we have the horses? |
44724 | How long are we to stay here? |
44724 | How long are you going to stay here? |
44724 | How long have you been doing this kind of work? |
44724 | How much good would that have done us? |
44724 | How near are your troops? |
44724 | How? |
44724 | How_ do_ you suppose they caught him? |
44724 | I allow that''s a fact, cap''n dear; but who gets the best price? 44724 I allow you two lads have allers lived here in Philadelphia, eh?" |
44724 | I am Jacob Ludwick----"Chris, the baker''s son, eh? |
44724 | I heard----"How did you get speech with Grimshaw if he was on the pillory? |
44724 | I know the honor is great,Enoch said slowly;"but I am almost afraid----""Of what?" |
44724 | I reckon you want to see Seth Graydon a spell before we leave? |
44724 | I suppose we are not to carry weapons? |
44724 | I suppose you had supper with General Dickinson, Enoch? |
44724 | I thought your greatest desire was to enlist? |
44724 | I will answer for it there are none, lad, for have n''t I just traveled over this road? 44724 If I was in Seth''s place, mother, should you blame me for having tried to aid the cause?" |
44724 | If a friend of ours is your prisoner are we responsible for his safe- keeping? 44724 If they evacuate this city will they be allowed to go away without being molested?" |
44724 | If you believe us to be friends, tell me where we can find an officer of the American army? |
44724 | If you did not do so, how came you by the irons? |
44724 | In what branch of the service? |
44724 | In what way? |
44724 | Indeed, my lad? 44724 Indeed? |
44724 | Is General Washington there? |
44724 | Is General Washington to make an attack? |
44724 | Is it not true that you have been carrying information to the rebels? |
44724 | Is it possible General Clinton would do that? |
44724 | Is it safe? |
44724 | Is it true that your mother has as boarders many officers of the British army? |
44724 | Is it you, Enoch? |
44724 | Is the army to remain in camp? |
44724 | Is the baker your father? |
44724 | Is there anything in particular to be done? |
44724 | Is there anything we can do for you, friend? |
44724 | Is there reason to believe the British will make a move within that time? |
44724 | Is there to be a battle? |
44724 | Is your horse fresh? |
44724 | Is your name Grimshaw? |
44724 | Is yours the last division on this side? |
44724 | It seems that you still occupy that position? |
44724 | It would be better for the cause if more were of your way of thinking,Greene said in a low tone, and added quickly,"What do you propose to do now?" |
44724 | Lad, is it honor for yourself or the good of the country you have most at heart? |
44724 | Look alive, man, ca n''t you? |
44724 | Made him angry? 44724 Meaning to say I do, eh?" |
44724 | Nor treated more severely than being put on the pillory? |
44724 | Not in bed yet, good people? |
44724 | Not very successful on your first scout, eh? |
44724 | Now look here, fellows, what''s the sense of quarreling? |
44724 | Now, I fancy, Master Ball, you will have no hesitation about doing as I wish? |
44724 | Oh, is that all you''ve got agin him? 44724 Oh, it is you, is it?" |
44724 | Or will you take me to some one equal in rank with him? |
44724 | Playing the spy, do you mean? 44724 Safe, lad? |
44724 | Serious, sir? 44724 Shall you be gone long?" |
44724 | Since last night? 44724 So General Howe believes you are dangerous characters, eh? |
44724 | So I am to take supper with General and Lord Howe and their friends, am I? |
44724 | So Lafayette''s tattered retinue have abandoned their mud- holes, have they? |
44724 | So my father had an idea I would want to go? |
44724 | So you got into the Continental camp sooner than you expected, eh? 44724 Suppose we try to get lodgings in that house?" |
44724 | Suppose you should meet any of the enemy who had seen me when I was in jail with Jacob? 44724 The American forces are near the city?" |
44724 | The army gone? |
44724 | The spy who was arrested while returning from the American lines was a particular friend of yours? |
44724 | Then how shall it be decided? |
44724 | Then if I go to the city with Mr. Greene I may be fortunate enough to see the Britishers marching out? |
44724 | Then must poor Seth be hanged? |
44724 | Then the blow from the pistol did n''t do him any serious damage? |
44724 | Then the city is to be really evacuated? |
44724 | Then there seems to be no question as to the truth of your statement----"The truth of it? |
44724 | Then what have you to say? |
44724 | Then will you please stay here till I come back? |
44724 | Then you believe we are really to have one? |
44724 | Then you believe we can do nothing? |
44724 | Then you have no doubt as to the result? |
44724 | Then you would make no question if I wanted to enlist? |
44724 | Then you_ are_ an aid? |
44724 | They are in the same company with Greene, the spy, are they not? |
44724 | This the general? |
44724 | To your house? |
44724 | To- night? |
44724 | Was he flogged? |
44724 | Well, what better can_ you_ do? |
44724 | Well, why do n''t you go ahead and do it? 44724 Were n''t we chased and fired at?" |
44724 | What about my going too? |
44724 | What am I to do after the message has been delivered? |
44724 | What are we to do? |
44724 | What are you doing here? |
44724 | What are you doing here? |
44724 | What are you to do with me? |
44724 | What business hast thou here? |
44724 | What could you want more? 44724 What did he mean by that?" |
44724 | What did he mean? |
44724 | What did he say to you? |
44724 | What did you say, sir? |
44724 | What do you intend I shall do in town? |
44724 | What do you know about Seth Graydon? |
44724 | What do you mean by conciliatory bills? |
44724 | What do you mean by that? |
44724 | What do you mean by that? |
44724 | What do you mean? |
44724 | What does Master Ludwick say to that plan? |
44724 | What does it mean? 44724 What for?" |
44724 | What friend have I got who is so powerful? |
44724 | What has happened to make you think anything of that kind is near? |
44724 | What has happened? 44724 What have you done with your horse?" |
44724 | What have you got there, Jordan? |
44724 | What have you heard? |
44724 | What is his name? |
44724 | What is that? |
44724 | What is the matter? |
44724 | What is the meaning of all this? |
44724 | What is to be done? |
44724 | What is your name? |
44724 | What is your plan if we succeed in this work? |
44724 | What will your father say when he learns that you do not care to be a soldier? 44724 What''s the matter?" |
44724 | What? 44724 What?" |
44724 | What? |
44724 | When are we to start? |
44724 | When is it likely to happen? |
44724 | When will he be court- martialed? |
44724 | Where are Seth and Jacob? |
44724 | Where are you bound for? |
44724 | Where are you from, lad? |
44724 | Where are you from, my lad? |
44724 | Where are you going? |
44724 | Where are you, Seth? |
44724 | Where can it be done? |
44724 | Where did you come from? |
44724 | Where did you see Grimshaw? |
44724 | Where is Grimshaw? |
44724 | Where is he? |
44724 | Where is the general now? |
44724 | Where shall we go in case we succeed? |
44724 | Where? |
44724 | Who are you, and what are you doing abroad at midnight? |
44724 | Who are you, sir? |
44724 | Who are you? 44724 Who can say but that you will be the first to bring the news to this army that the capital of our country is no longer in possession of the enemy?" |
44724 | Whom do you mean? |
44724 | Why are you so certain as to the date? |
44724 | Why are you so positive? |
44724 | Why do n''t you keep on to the town? |
44724 | Why not wait until daylight? |
44724 | Why not? 44724 Why not? |
44724 | Why not? |
44724 | Why should n''t I want to tell it? 44724 Why should n''t we go with Seth?" |
44724 | Why should you not have told the truth? |
44724 | Why was that done? |
44724 | Why, ai n''t they doing me a mighty good turn, cap''n? 44724 Why, what time is it?" |
44724 | Why, yes; did n''t you know they were going? |
44724 | Why? |
44724 | Why? |
44724 | Why? |
44724 | Why? |
44724 | Will General Washington come to- day? |
44724 | Will he not be punished for allowing Seth to escape? |
44724 | Will it be advisable, do you think, sir, for the boy to return to Philadelphia? |
44724 | Will you call the officer of the guard? |
44724 | Will you come with us to General Lafayette? |
44724 | Without his knowing it? 44724 Would you attempt to leave the city on such an errand?" |
44724 | Would you be willing to enlist to- day? |
44724 | Would you have any objections, sir, to my finding a place among the soldiers? |
44724 | Yes, sir,and Seth told in detail of his conversation with Ezra Grimshaw, concluding by asking,"Are you Colonel Powers?" |
44724 | Yes; and if I am, what then? 44724 You are not hindered from roaming around the town as you wish?" |
44724 | You expected to see an old man? |
44724 | You have information? |
44724 | You have n''t learned anything new? |
44724 | You mean that you are determined to hold your tongues as long as possible? |
44724 | You mean that you will enlist? |
44724 | You mean you want to make me a present? |
44724 | You spoke to Seth of the chance that I might see his mother? |
44724 | You surely ca n''t take us for Britishers? |
44724 | You would be hanged if captured? |
44724 | You? |
44724 | Are the Continentals coming this way?" |
44724 | Are the enemy informed of General Lafayette''s movements?" |
44724 | Are the soldiers of the Continental army the only men in the country who love the cause?" |
44724 | Are we to tell her?" |
44724 | Are you at liberty to tell me anything?" |
44724 | Are you going to stay here without making any fight to get out?" |
44724 | Are you ready, Enoch?" |
44724 | Are you ready?" |
44724 | Bob Greene tells me you knocked down Williams, the Tory Quaker?" |
44724 | But who is this with you?" |
44724 | But why do n''t you want to go over to headquarters?" |
44724 | But why is it you do not expect a rich reward?" |
44724 | Ca n''t you open the door, boys?" |
44724 | Can it be possible Washington believes for a single instant that his rag- tag and bob- tail can stand against General Howe''s forces?" |
44724 | Did he insist you should repeat it to me in private?" |
44724 | Did you see one of our friends in Philadelphia, whom I sent to you?" |
44724 | Do you fancy the men here are allowed to roam about at will?" |
44724 | Do you hear anything?" |
44724 | Do you know the roads hereabouts?" |
44724 | Do you suppose I do n''t know why you came? |
44724 | Do you suppose he intended to do so?" |
44724 | Do you tell me that he wo n''t allow his son to enlist?" |
44724 | Do you think he would object to your going back?" |
44724 | Do you think it is safe for us to go there before daylight?" |
44724 | Do you think it right that I should be flogged and sent back before your officers have had time to find out whether I am telling the truth or a lie?" |
44724 | Enoch laughed heartily, and finally asked curiously:"How did you know anything about that?" |
44724 | Greene?" |
44724 | Greene?" |
44724 | Greene?" |
44724 | Has your horse been cared for?" |
44724 | Have I not seen thee before?" |
44724 | Have either of you fellows been wounded?" |
44724 | Have the Britishers given up the idea of evacuating the city?" |
44724 | Have you any weapons?" |
44724 | Have you been in danger?" |
44724 | Have you been trying to get an interview with General Lafayette at this hour?" |
44724 | Have you ever seen a more pleasant gentleman?" |
44724 | Have you got hold of the bridle?" |
44724 | Have you seen the enemy?" |
44724 | Here is a straw; will you hold it, Jacob?" |
44724 | How do you know but that he may be a Tory?" |
44724 | How is it your pleasure that I shall dispose of them?" |
44724 | How large a force shall we have?" |
44724 | I suppose of course you will enlist?" |
44724 | I thought I was to carry to Valley Forge what you learned?" |
44724 | I wonder if they count on giving us anything to eat?" |
44724 | If he escapes, is it certain we are guilty of having aided him in avoiding a disgraceful death under a false charge?" |
44724 | If my mother, a poor widow woman, is forced to take English officers as boarders, does that make of me a Tory?" |
44724 | If we had been able to get him away from your men, and out of jail, do you think we would be foolish enough to carry his fetters in our pockets?" |
44724 | Indeed?" |
44724 | Instead of replying to this question Lord Gordon asked suddenly:"How far would you two boys go in trying to release your comrade?" |
44724 | Is it you?" |
44724 | Is that true, my lad? |
44724 | Lad, you believe I did you a service once?" |
44724 | May I remain with your troops, sir?" |
44724 | Now that we are to have the assistance of the French troops----""What do you mean?" |
44724 | Now what has Lee done for the cause? |
44724 | Now, where think you will Seth easiest find the American forces? |
44724 | Or in the direction of Valley Forge?" |
44724 | Perhaps it is too much to ask that you bring the food to our room?" |
44724 | Say, push open that door, will you, Enoch? |
44724 | Shall I call you in the morning?" |
44724 | Shall I wait here, or walk part of the way home with you?" |
44724 | Shall we walk a mile or so with you?" |
44724 | So he must have been the one who warned Howe of General Lafayette''s advance? |
44724 | Suppose I sleep at your mother''s house to- night?" |
44724 | Suppose you let me take the beast? |
44724 | Tell me, Enoch Ball, would you be willing to serve your country in another way than by becoming a soldier?" |
44724 | Tell me, have you seen nothing since you met the army to dispel the supposed charm of a soldier''s life?" |
44724 | The early bird like me what can afford to haggle for an extra sixpence, or them as have only time enough to sell out and get home before dark?" |
44724 | The marquis read it carefully, appeared alternately surprised and disappointed, and finally asked:"Are you on General Washington''s staff, my boy?" |
44724 | The newcomers halted suddenly, and one of them asked in a low tone, speaking to his companion:"Who have we here? |
44724 | The officer turned on his heel, having discharged his duty, and the spy said triumphantly to Enoch:"What did I tell you, lad? |
44724 | The sidewalk in front of the City Tavern was thronged with officers and civilians, and Jacob whispered:"I wonder what is going on there? |
44724 | They must be like plenty of others belonging to the Britishers, and who shall say they were the ones Seth wore? |
44724 | We shall find no difficulty in enlisting in any regiment we choose, and who knows but we''ll be made officers?" |
44724 | Were you detained by the enemy after leaving General Dickinson?" |
44724 | What could I do in such a position?" |
44724 | What do you mean?" |
44724 | What do you say for a walk about town?" |
44724 | What do you want here?" |
44724 | What has come to Enoch? |
44724 | What has come to Seth more than you have got? |
44724 | What have the New Jersey troops been doing?" |
44724 | What is to be done then? |
44724 | What orders have you for the rest of the day?" |
44724 | When Enoch entered the barn he understood by the subdued noise that Master Ludwick was bridling a horse, and he whispered:"Are there two here?" |
44724 | Where are General Maxwell''s quarters?" |
44724 | Where are the Britishers by this time?" |
44724 | Where did you come from?" |
44724 | Where he saw them yesterday? |
44724 | Where is my servant?" |
44724 | Where is the third? |
44724 | Where shall we go?" |
44724 | Where''s Greene?" |
44724 | Where''s his room?" |
44724 | Which of you is to do the work?" |
44724 | Who goes there?" |
44724 | Who is he?" |
44724 | Why did you say that at last we had work to do?" |
44724 | Why is it that I have not met more officers?" |
44724 | Why not demand to know who paid for our coats, or where we procured our hats?" |
44724 | Why not try to raise some of the flooring?" |
44724 | Why, is that you, Seth?" |
44724 | Will you ask him?" |
44724 | Will you be able to leave town at once?" |
44724 | Will you be ready to go back with me this evening?" |
44724 | Will you come?" |
44724 | Will you take the pass, or shall I?" |
44724 | Would n''t it cast suspicion on you?" |
44724 | Yet suppose I had n''t been discovered? |
44724 | You remember me? |
44724 | You remember when Jacob Ludwick and I talked with you about Seth?" |
44724 | You said you had a copy of the order which is to be issued on the sixteenth?" |
44724 | You say Dickinson was getting ready for business when you left?" |
44724 | You say you told Grimshaw what you had heard? |
44724 | You will enlist when we are on the winning side, and not before, eh?" |
