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

28205HONEYMAN Six miles, huh?
28205HONEYMAN Sure, do n''t ye have to patrol up an''down the river, an''sich like things?

28205HONEYMAN(_ off, coming in_) So- o- o, boss-- where''s that dang critter gone to?
28205Has Colonel Rall taken any precautions against surprise?
28205Has he crossed the Hudson?
28205Has he left Peekskill yet?
28205Have you heard any rumor about him?
28205How are you going to get your information to me?
28205How fer to the next one north?
28205I suppose the force we have is even smaller today than it was yesterday?
28205If the second in command wo n''t obey orders, is it any wonder that the rest of the army is out of hand?
28205Is that satisfactory?
28205Is there nothing else in store for us?
28205KNOX Artillery first, sir?
28205KNOX Sir, ca n''t we go back across the river, suddenly-- and strike a blow before the enemy knows what we are up to?
28205KNOX What is it?
28205Left Philadelphia?
28205Of course if General Lee would join me-- there was n''t any word from Lee this morning, was there?
28205Oh, Corporal-- CORPORAL Yes, sir?

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