10220Ought n''t I give her a head- start, Daddy?"

10220barked the little poodle dog, and I suppose he was saying:"Oh, ca n''t I have it a little while?"
10220she exclaimed, skating back to her brother,"It is n''t a fair race when some one falls; is it Daddy?"
21725Admitted; but what else can we do?
21725Ai n''t it''eavenly?

21725I sees it, John-- but, I say, what''s the matter wi''Terrence?
21725I will,replied Tomlin,"D''you know it never occurred to me before how tremendously important the element of fire is?

21725Mrs Matterby?
21725My poor boy, do you suffer much?
21725My sweet little toolip,he said,"can I do anythink for you?"
21725Ned,said he, at last,"do you really believe in the truth of these words,` Blessed are they that consider the poor?''"
21725Nellie, dear,said Massey, when the boat was brought up under the lee of the rocks,"d''ee feel_ very_ cold?"
21725No relations of any kind at all in London?
21725Now, Jack, let me ask you one question,she said;"would you like to go to Canada?"
21725Now, tell me; how long is it since you tasted strong drink?
21725Oh, would n''t I just?
21725Please, sir, may I go with Mitford to seek for water?
21725Shall we launch the boats now, sir?
21725Sir?
21725Sk- t."Sk- t? 21725 Suppose we cut some grass and try that?"
21725Tell me, dear child,she said, stooping low and putting a gentle hand on Martha''s shoulder,"are you not hungry?"
21725Th- thank you, J- John,replied Peggy, whose teeth chattered like castanets,"but''ow am I t- to d- dry''em?
21725That''s true, sir,returned Massey,"but how about the women?"
21725The use?
21725Then you''re sure you wo n''t think it hard, Nell, if I ask you to leave home and friends and go wi''me over the sea?
21725Was this split made hundreds-- perhaps thousands-- of years ago, for the purpose of enabling me to escape?
21725Well then your sister or aunt-- I suppose there''s some relative at home older than yourself?
21725Well, Ned, how have you enjoyed yourself to- day?
21725Wet?
21725What are you thinking about?
21725What d''ee mean, Bob?
21725What does that mean?
21725What is it?
21725What luck do you mean, Bob?
21725What say you to a turn on the ice, Matty?
21725What''s the time now, lad?
21725What''s the time?
21725Why, dear child,she said, in surprise,"have they not given you something to eat?"
21725Will that do? 21725 Will you just go to the bow and take a squint ahead?
21725Would you like to give grandfather anything in particular, little woman, if a fairy were to offer to give it you?
21725Yes? 21725 You''re_ sure_ it is better, dear little child?"
21725Your mother is poor, I suppose?
21725_ Can_ it be?
21725Are we not about to face the bitter blast and the driving snow on this Christmas morning for that very purpose?
21725But dooty lies in another direction_ this_ day, so you promise to see her hauled up, an''cleaned, an''properly housed, wo n''t you?"
21725But how will you ever manage to make the branches catch, everything being so thoroughly soaked?"
21725But one word before-- old Nell; and-- Nellie?"
21725But what could poor Slag do?
21725But what could these do to help him?
21725But what shall we call him?"
21725But what was that projecting from the water, not twenty yards from where he stood?
21725But where have you been?"
21725But who''s to stop at home to mind the camp- fire and the women?"
21725Can nothing be done?
21725Can that be Nellie Grove, whom we last saw with her eyes shut and her mouth open-- howling?
21725Can we wonder that most of them again gave way to despair-- forgetting that with God"all things are possible?"
21725D''ee know anything about your mother''s affairs?"
21725D''ee know what this is for?"
21725Dear, dear,''ave you bin rowin''all night, John?
21725Did n''t our mothers crow over us cheek by jowl when we was babbies?
21725Did you ever try to think things with a sick''eadache, Nellie?"
21725Do n''t you hear them?"
21725Do n''t you remember that day when you waded in baby''s bath, an''then said you was n''t wet a bit, only a_ very_ little, an''you rather liked it?
21725Do n''t you think so, Nellie?
21725Do you believe in strong feelin'', Peggy?"
21725Does it not seem as if He_ had_ forsaken us now?"
21725Every current and eddy about these sands was well known to Joe Slag, also the set of the tides-- besides, had not Bob got on his lifebelt?
21725Have I hurt you much,_ dear_ little girl?
21725Have we not risen an hour earlier than usual to go out and do what we can to mitigate the sorrows of the poor?
21725Have you got the small twigs broken and ready, Slag?"
21725Heave ahead, what is it?"
21725Her what''s bin bed- ridden for years, an''has n''t got no legs at all-- leastwise not to speak of?"
21725How are you?
21725How will that suit you-- eh?"
21725I hope that Mrs Massey ai n''t ill?"
21725I hope there''s nothin''in Scriptur''agin''a man bein''spliced in wet toggery?"
21725If the rich ceased to buy pictures, what would become of painters?
21725Is grandfather very poor?"
21725Meanwhile you had better run home, and tell your father-- if, that is-- your father is at home, I suppose?"
21725Need it be said that, on recovering nervous equilibrium, the joy of rescuers and rescued was intense?
21725Need we add that the memory of his dear mother never faded or grew dim?
21725Nellie, hard at the twine, lass?
21725Only once he broke silence to thank them and say,"Jesus sent you, I suppose?"
21725Shall I read to you?"
21725Shall we describe the joy of the widow and the grandfather?
21725Then he asked,"What are we going to do now, mother?"
21725Was it a voice within him, or an old memory, that immediately whispered the words,"With God all things are possible?"
21725Was n''t you an''me born on the same day, Bob?
21725Well, Peggy,"he added, turning to the poor woman, and patting her gently on the shoulder,"has Nell been tellin''you what I''m goin''to try?"
21725Were not the streets swarming with such boys?
21725What are you going to do?"
21725What brings you here?"
21725What is your name, child?"
21725What say you, comrades?"
21725What will the neighbours think of us?"
21725What would you ask for?"
21725What''s that?"
21725What''s this?"
21725What''s use o''gettin''up?"
21725Where are ye, boy?"
21725Where''s Terrence?"
21725Where''s your mother?"
21725Who''d expect me to see anything else when I''m beside_ her_?"
21725Why could not rich people like us be content with plainer things, and use fewer things, and so have more to give to the poor?"
21725Would they not be thrown out of employment, and help, perhaps, to swell the ranks of the poor?
21725Yes, your_ partner_--for were not_ you_ the instrument used in rescuing my soul, and_ he_ my body?
21725You are a man of action and experience, Robert Massey, what would you advise us to do first?"
21725You do n''t suppose the Almighty''s deaf, do you?"
21725You doubt me?
21725You wo n''t be long away, will you?"
21725You''re''ungry, I suppose?"
21725ai n''t it?"
21725alongside o''Aunt Betty?"
21725sorrowful- monkey- face, clap a stopper on yer nose an''tumble up,--d''ye hear?"
21725what do it matter what you calls it so long as you''ve got it to eat?
21725what would be the consequences to authors, and what the result to themselves?
37837''Are our children''s wings yet strong enough? 37837 And the very next Christmas, what do you think?

37837Are you driving your pony? 37837 Are you glad?

37837Is n''t it a pretty whistle?
37837Is n''t it nice here? 37837 Is n''t that a beauty?
37837Is that a fairy at the top?
37837It was n''t a cow, was it?

37837Peter, ca n''t you stop asking questions and go to work? 37837 Shall I now?"
37837Shall we go out to the barn?
37837Should you rather have that than anything else here?

37837Do you think this snow has come to stay?
37837Does n''t the air feel good to you?"
37837Father said,"Do you know what Eskimos call a snow house?
37837Has he come alive?"
37837Have n''t you seen me make the shoes fit?"
37837Have n''t you seen me shoe horses?
37837Have they taken the color from the leaves?
37837Have you any little lambs?"
37837Have you?"
37837He did not wait for us to call, did he?"
37837He kept saying,"Mother, will it be Christmas to- morrow?
37837He said,"Are n''t you glad you are not real Eskimos?
37837How are you getting on, Polly?"
37837How did it get there?"
37837How did you let these lumps fall into your cake, daughter?
37837How many inches is that, Polly?"
37837How should you like to make them, Polly?"
37837How would you like it down your neck?"
37837I must sew around them, must n''t I?"
37837If he lives in a bird''s nest, does he lay bird''s eggs?"
37837Is it magic?"
37837Is n''t she pretty?"
37837Is that it?"
37837Is this really you?
37837It was you, was n''t it, father?"
37837May I stop basting and sew a little?"
37837May I?"
37837May I?"
37837May we paint it red, father?"
37837Mother said,"Why do n''t you give the hot water bag to grandmother?
37837Mother, will it be Christmas to- morrow?"
37837Now may we open the door and see the tree?"
37837Now, Polly, three goes in thirty how many times?"
37837Now, how much do I owe you?"
37837Now, what shall we do with all this stuff?"
37837One morning mother said,"Polly, will you go to the store for me?
37837Or will it melt away?"
37837POLLY''S BIRD PARTY"Do you remember something, father?"
37837Polly ran forward, and what do you think she saw?
37837Polly said,"Are n''t the flakes pretty, Peter?
37837Polly said,"How can it be so warm?
37837She said,"Do you think you can do an errand for me?
37837She said,"Have you some buttermilk for me?"
37837Should you like that?"
37837Should you like to chew them to make them soft?"
37837Should you like to scrape the skins to clean them?
37837THE BONFIRE The next day father said,"Peter and Polly, will you work for me?
37837Was n''t it a good fish?"
37837We are all glad to have it, are n''t we?"
37837Were they on the top of the igloo?
37837What are some of them?"
37837What are they, oh, what are they?"
37837What are those birds, Peter?"
37837What are you doing?"
37837What color shall it be?"
37837What do you think she saw?
37837What do you think they found?
37837What do you wish to sew?"
37837What is it?"
37837What is that?
37837What shall we do then?
37837What shall you do with yours?"
37837What was it?
37837What were the dogs doing?
37837What will they do with them?"
37837What would you do with two guns?"
37837When the children took the staves into the workshop, Peter said,"What next?"
37837Where are your mittens, Tim?
37837Where are your sleds?"
37837Where did you come from?
37837Where do the fishes go?
37837Where do they sleep?
37837Where was the snow man?
37837Which is it?"
37837Who made it?"
37837Who made them?"
37837Who will be my helper?"
37837Whose is she?
37837Why do you wish to have a loose tooth?"
37837Why does every one think that we shall?"
37837Why does n''t he sleep until spring comes?
37837Why does n''t he?"
37837Why not give her the box of handkerchiefs?"
37837Why not make a bean bag?"
37837Will they grow again?"
37837Will you play it with me, Polly?
37837Will you, Peter?
37837Will you, old Giant?"
37837Wo n''t you, father?"
37837You have had fun with your candy, have n''t you?"
37837You will always be good then, wo n''t you?''
37837_ Father Eskimo._"Yes, but do n''t I have to get the fur for them?
42040And is that all?
42040And-- and do they make you live with them?
42040Anyway you''ll help me with my book, wo n''t you? 42040 Are-- are you a captive?"
42040Are-- are you sure about that stairway?
42040At two in the morning?
42040Blue like the candlestick?
42040But can we move that ice?
42040But the blue god frozen in the ice?
42040But then what was it?
42040But these friends of mine? 42040 But what makes the shore all around the dock look so black?"
42040But where did you get the odd candlestick?
42040But why did they do it?
42040Ca n''t something be done?
42040Captive? 42040 Christmas?"
42040Could anything be better than that?
42040Did he take it?
42040Did it ever occur to you,his eyes were twinkling,"that the O Moo might be insured?"
42040Do you think,said Lucile in real consternation,"that I would dare beard that lion of an editor in his den?
42040Florence Huyler?
42040Florence,said Lucile, when she had finished,"do-- do you suppose that has anything to do with the old Mission affair I told you about?"
42040For,Marian had reasoned,"who else in all the wide world would live in such a manner?"
42040Give it back?
42040He has kicked that tin can I threw out there; the third can of corn, remember?
42040How could he?
42040How did you come out with it?
42040How do I git up?
42040How many of them do you suppose there are?
42040How would he know we had it? 42040 How-- how do you feel?"
42040I wonder what they wanted?
42040Know how to use a gas mask?
42040Marian,she exclaimed,"what did that boy say about the scow those Chinese people live in?"
42040Might I ask the name of the boat and the location?
42040Must get out of here some way,she told herself,"but how?"
42040Not a trace?
42040Now what do you think of that?
42040Now,she said,"shall we go over to the igloo?
42040One of the men with the sled?
42040Only,she breathed at last,"who ever heard of a tribe of Negontisks in America, let alone here in Chicago?
42040Or do you prefer to come down? 42040 Or the warning tacked on our hull?"
42040So that''s why you thought I was held captive by the Negontisks?
42040Speaking of rascals,said Marian a few moments later as they sat looking at one another in silence,"what do you think is the meaning of all this?"
42040That one''s strong enough,she concluded;"but how about the other?"
42040That seems strange, does n''t it?
42040The Elsie C."That turtle shell? 42040 The blue candlestick?"
42040The editor of the Literary Monthly? 42040 The question is,"he said after a moment,"now you have it what are you going to do with it?"
42040The what?
42040Then, then we can stay?
42040Things are looking better, do n''t you think?
42040To- night?
42040Well, girls,Marian exclaimed when she had finished telling of her bargain and they of exclaiming over it,"what shall we have for dinner to- night?
42040Wha-- what''s the matter?
42040What can it be?
42040What can it mean? 42040 What can it mean?"
42040What could have been their motive?
42040What could you do? 42040 What do you say to lamb chops, french fried potatoes, hot coffee and doughnuts?"
42040What does he want? 42040 What in the world is the matter?"
42040What makes that spot look so much bluer than the other ice?
42040What of it?
42040What was that?
42040What was your story about?
42040What''s a better time? 42040 What''s that?"
42040What''s the idea?
42040What''s your schooner?
42040What-- what''s the matter?
42040What-- what-- made us do that?
42040What_ is_ better?
42040Where are we?
42040Where can that be?
42040Where is it?
42040Who can that be on the bridge at this hour of the night?
42040Who can that be?
42040Who could have done it and why did they do it?
42040Who''s telling us whether we can stay here or not?
42040Why should I?
42040Why then,Marie Neighbor''s face was a study,"then I''m just a-- a-- what do you call it?
42040Why? 42040 Why?
42040Will you come in?
42040Will-- will you give it back to them now?
42040Would n''t recognize him?
42040Yes, but,Florence had argued,"how did they ever get to the shores of Lake Michigan anyway?"
42040You live there?
42040You remember the two men with the sled and the one man who appeared to come from nowhere? 42040 You say it was a blue face?"
42040You were talking with him?
42040A trap?
42040A whitish bulk rising out of the fog?
42040And if it were, what could they do at this mad hour of night?
42040And if they did, do you suppose for a moment that our authorities would allow them to continue to perform these terrible religious rites?"
42040And now, is that all?"
42040And, Marian,"she exclaimed suddenly,"what do you think?
42040Are n''t you happy here?"
42040Are you ready?
42040At the same time there came the question:"Is there light enough to reveal my face?"
42040Besides, what difference could it make to them whether we live here or not?"
42040But after that, what?
42040But how had the man come there on the ice?
42040But what brings you home so early, Lucile?"
42040But what did it all mean?
42040But what was this?
42040But what was this?
42040But what was this?
42040But where were they and whither were they bound?
42040But who were these raiders?
42040But, after all, where is''here''?"
42040By the way,"he broke off suddenly,"what is your address?"
42040Could it be possible that they had stumbled upon a secret home of some of these people?
42040Could she do it?
42040Could she make it?
42040Did not a heavy cable hold her in place?
42040Did she hear?
42040Did the man cut that hole?
42040Did the sled and the man sitting on the ice the night before have anything to do with it?
42040Do n''t we, old dear?"
42040Do you suppose he means it for us?"
42040Florence, bring them, will you?"
42040For a moment he sat staring at the candlestick, then he asked:"Would you mind telling me where you found this?"
42040From whom?
42040Had she seen a dark form disappear behind that ice- pile off to her right?
42040Had she seen something off to the left?
42040Had the banister creaked?
42040Had they not found it entirely uninhabited?
42040Had they, after all, drifted only a short distance from the city?
42040How about it?"
42040How can we thank you?"
42040How could the blue god be in Chicago?
42040How then could she glide back into the lake?
42040How''d you find a yacht blowin''round loose in this whirlin''bag of snow?"
42040I--""What was that?"
42040If anything further happens, let me know at once, will you?
42040If so, who were they?
42040If so, why?
42040If worse came to worst, could she strike the blow?
42040In a few hours we''ll be back on the dock?"
42040Know that old joke about the''quick and the dead,''do n''t you?
42040Know what those two policemen were here for?"
42040Live with whom?"
42040Loganberries in thick syrup or sliced pineapple?"
42040Mighty queer, now, was n''t it?
42040Most people would say it was a wild notion, this living on a ship, but what''s one to do?
42040No rooms you can pay for, and who would give up a university education without a fight?
42040Of what are you dreaming?
42040Once more she sat bolt upright to peer into the darkness; once more she asked herself the questions:"What can it be?
42040One thing is sure: it is not safe for you to be carrying this thing about, for in the first place it is valuable, and in--""Valuable?
42040Only who could it be?
42040Or had they in some way been blown out to sea?
42040Or had they really drifted a long way?
42040Or would some giant wave stave her in to sink to the bottom like a water- soaked log?"
42040See those stairs at the other end of this hall?"
42040She had hoped he would say at first glance:"Why, where did you chance to find that?
42040Should I waken Marian and Florence?"
42040Simple, is n''t it?
42040So the stairs could n''t be twenty feet deep, could they?"
42040So what does he do but buy this little island and have a wonderful little igloo built beneath one of its sand dunes?
42040Suppose they routed out old Timmie, keeper of the dry dock, what could he do?
42040That?"
42040The editor of a real magazine that pays genuine money for stories?
42040The point really is, though, are we leaving in the morning?"
42040Then she caught a creaking sound-- was he mounting the stair?
42040Then what?
42040There was no wireless outfit on the yacht; could be none on the island, for had they not made the entire round?
42040These girls in the O Moo?"
42040Turning to Marian she asked:"What do you make of it?"
42040Very strange sort of"--she broke off abruptly, to exclaim:"Why, Lucile, what makes you tremble so?"
42040Was Lucile asleep, unconscious, or-- or was she dead?
42040Was it, after all, a false hope?
42040Was n''t that dramatic?"
42040Was she trapped?
42040Was that someone on deck at this moment or had he merely cut the cable, removed the blocks and allowed the wind to do the rest?
42040Was there some, low, dark bulk appearing off there before the very course the ice was taking?
42040We will have dinner together there and-- and why do n''t you bring along a few of your things, prepared to stay all night?
42040Were not the wheels of the car, on which she rested, blocked?
42040Were these persons moonshiners, gamblers, smugglers, or robbers living in the dry dock?
42040Were they innocently checkmating, or appearing to checkmate, some men in their attempt to perform some unlawful deed?
42040Were-- were you in the war?"
42040What are all these people doing out here at this ghostly hour?"
42040What are these people bothering us for anyway?
42040What are yours?"
42040What could it be?
42040What did that new ice on the lagoon mean?
42040What do you say we cut down two or three hundred of them and take them along?
42040What had happened?
42040What had happened?
42040What have we done to deserve a visit from the police?"
42040What have we done?
42040What may I do for you?"
42040What right have they?
42040What say-- want to try it?
42040What should be more natural than that a blue jade candlestick should be made in which to set a candle with which to illumine the blue god?
42040What should she do?
42040What was it all about?
42040What was that?"
42040What was the use of waking them?
42040What was the use?
42040What would he want of it?
42040What you doin''here?"
42040When did you arrive?"
42040Whence, then, came this strange clash of man- made lightning?
42040Where are our clothes?"
42040Who are they anyway?"
42040Why did you mail it?"
42040Why had the hole been cut?
42040Why should you?"
42040Why was the ice blue?
42040Why?
42040Why?
42040Will he forbid us living in the O Moo?
42040Wo n''t that be wonderful?"
42040Wonderful, is n''t it?"
42040Would she soon topple over, to go crashing on the frozen sand?
42040Would the stair creak, give her away?
42040Would there be some boat nearer than they had dreamed?
42040Would they be able, once the fog had cleared, to distinguish the jagged shore which the city''s sky line cut out of the blue?
42040Would they look upon a shoreless expanse of water or would the irregular tree- line of some unknown shore greet them?
42040Yes, she had the power, but could she do it?
42040Yet why had the ice been blue?
42040Yet, after all, did she have the nerve?
42040You do n''t think it could be-- be people?"
42040You say you did n''t see the man''s face?"
42040exclaimed their hostess,"have you seen an igloo somewhere?"
42040she asked herself,"What could it have been?"
46540About how much do you suppose that means?
46540Acquaintances of mine, you think, lassie?
46540Ah, do you see? 46540 Ah, is that so?
46540Ah, what father would, if he had such a dear little girl and boy as mine?
46540Ah, what is that?
46540Am I the angel, and may I fly in?
46540And did all that happen at the siege of Jerusalem?
46540And do you wish to visit it-- or a part of it?
46540And does England own it yet, grandma?
46540And how is it with Max and Eva?
46540And how soon did he begin his piracy, papa?
46540And is n''t it a very important part trying to win souls to Christ?
46540And is the baleen all they kill the whales for, papa?
46540And it has a warm climate, has n''t it, grandma?
46540And oh, mamma, do n''t you think that he and Uncle Harold will soon get dear Neddie well of his dreadful dip in the sea?
46540And perhaps you may treat Cuba in the same way?
46540And so I''m not a real person?
46540And we are on the coast of Brazil now?
46540And what father would n''t be ready and glad to bestow it upon such a daughter as mine?
46540And when will that be, Cousin Ronald?
46540And you can take a cup of coffee and a little fruit, ca n''t you, father?
46540And you would n''t miss that for something, would you?
46540And you, Evelyn?
46540And you, mother?
46540And, after all, the ventriloquism was really all you wanted me for, eh?
46540Any of us but papa?
46540Are n''t we, papa?
46540Are the fish handsome, too, grandpa?
46540Are the rest of us invited, Gracie?
46540Are there a good many wild flowers in Cuba, papa?
46540Are there any rivers, grandma?
46540Are there any towns?
46540Are there fruits and flowers in those forests, papa?
46540Are there many kinds, papa?
46540Are there mountains, grandma?
46540Are there not many and important exports sent down the Amazon?
46540Are there towns on it, grandma?
46540Are they big islands, grandma? 46540 Are we going to stop at any of these South American countries, papa?"
46540Are we likely to land there?
46540Are you going to take us to Cuba, too, papa?
46540Are you quite sure of all that, daughter?
46540Are you talking about Elsie''s Tiny, papa?
46540Are you?
46540Blow hole,repeated Ned, wonderingly;"what''s that, papa?"
46540Brazil''s a big country, is n''t it, papa?
46540But could n''t we let the supper wait till the whale comes up and gets done spouting?
46540But have n''t we had a good time in all our journeying about old ocean and her islands?
46540But how are we going to keep Christmas here on the yacht?
46540But how can they tell where it goes when it mixes in with other waters, papa?
46540But now as we have finished eating and drinking shall we not take our stroll about the grounds?
46540But what kind of people live there, grandma?
46540But where are we going?
46540But where does it run to, papa?
46540But, papa, where does it get so much water to pour out?
46540Ca n''t they go, father and Mamma Vi?
46540Could n''t you make use of the telephone now, to give your invitations, my dear?
46540Cousin Ronald, wo n''t you please make him talk a little more?
46540Dear me, papa, how can anybody live there?
46540Did Columbus discover it, and the Spaniards settle it, papa?
46540Did he own that he was guilty, papa?
46540Did it pay?
46540Did the folks give you plenty to eat, Tee- tee?
46540Do n''t they have some difficulty in finding it, father?
46540Do n''t you think it would be pleasanter to visit it after it has had time to recover from the war?
46540Do they live in flocks in their own forests, papa?
46540Do they usually go alone, papa?
46540Do you forget that I told you they would run up the trees? 46540 Do you hear that?
46540Do you mean throw the water up out of its nostrils, papa?
46540Do you really think so, cousin doctor?
46540Do you think of giving him to any one of them?
46540Do you think of visiting any part of the island, Captain?
46540Do you think we will have as good a time where we are going now?
46540Does n''t he ride well?
46540Elsie and Ned would n''t you like your grandma to tell you something about the islands we are going to?
46540Every one of them, papa?
46540Father,said Lucilla,"are we not nearing the Caribbean Sea?"
46540Father,said Lulu,"you will let me be your amanuensis again, will you not?"
46540For what purpose did you two children take papa down below? 46540 Give my little pet Tiny away?
46540Gold is to be found in Brazil, is it not, papa?
46540Grace, do you think the spies were truthful?
46540Had not the earlier prophets foretold the destruction of Jerusalem?
46540Had they any right to, grandma?
46540Have they railroads and telegraphs, papa?
46540Have those times been fulfilled yet?
46540Have you any money?
46540Have you wanted us sometimes when you were far away on the sea, Brother Max?
46540Having completed the circuit of Cuba, where do we go next, Captain?
46540Hello, what is it?
46540How are Max and Eva this morning?
46540How does Cousin Ronald help him?
46540How early would you like to have it?
46540How is it with you, Cousins Annis and Ronald?
46540How is the little lad, sir?
46540How large is it, grandma?
46540How long will it take us to get to Viamede, papa?
46540How soon, father, do you think of starting on your southward trip?
46540How would you like to be carried off to a strange place, away from papa and mamma?
46540I hope you think you are having a good time here on this yacht?
46540I like this place, Tiny, do n''t you?
46540I suppose you two have not forgotten that to- morrow will be Sunday and the next day Christmas?
46540I suppose you would hardly blame them for following your example?
46540I think I have read,said Evelyn,"that Columbus at first thought Cuba not an island but a part of the mainland?"
46540I think you are worthy of an increase of pay, Mr. Clark, and you wo n''t object to it, I suppose?
46540Is he good to eat, grandpa?
46540Is it a very hot place, papa?
46540Is it really good to eat, papa?
46540Is n''t it the ant that clips and carries away leaves?
46540Is she a very big island, papa?
46540Is that all you want me for, Neddie boy?
46540Is there anything I can do to help with your preparations, Mamma Vi?
46540Is there much of it in one whale, papa?
46540It will be a long journey before we get to Viamede, wo n''t it, mamma?
46540Lu, dear, can you give me an early breakfast to- morrow morning?
46540Many other bugs, too, I suppose?
46540Mosquitoes, for instance?
46540Not so very much, papa-- only-- she belongs to England, does n''t she, papa?
46540Now, father, you are going to take us to Santiago next, are you not?
46540Now, mother, shall I give my invitation in the same way to our own friends?
46540Oh mamma, do you think they would do that?
46540Oh, Brother Max, it was you, was n''t it?
46540Oh, Max, my husband, my dear, dear husband,she sobbed,"how can I live away from you?
46540Oh, Uncle Harold, you''ll take Sister Eva to a good place to see everything from, wo nt you?
46540Oh, do they like to live right in among the icebergs, papa?
46540Oh, do you think he can learn, papa?
46540Oh, is my tee- tee drowned?
46540Oh, papa, are we really going there?
46540Oh, was I? 46540 Oh,"cried Lucilla,"it is a secret then, is it?
46540Oh? 46540 Orders, my son?"
46540Our whale fishing is done mostly by the New Englanders, is n''t it, papa?
46540Papa, I know there used to be pirates in the West Indies; was it there that Kidd committed his crimes?
46540Papa, are monkeys mischievous?
46540Papa, did all those people lose their souls?
46540Papa, did that old king live long enough to see how very cruel the Spaniards were to his people?
46540Papa, that Captain Capron was n''t instantly killed by that Mauser bullet, was he?
46540Papa, were they-- the Indians-- heathen?
46540Papa, why do they call it by that name-- Caribbean Sea?
46540Papa, wo n''t you buy me one?
46540Papa,asked Ned,"are there lions and tigers and monkeys in the woods?"
46540Perhaps papa will bring us a second time after that?
46540Please, papa, tell us something about Cuba now, wo n''t you?
46540Quite true, Harold,he said,"but who is to be the happy recipient of mother''s bounty this time?"
46540Shall I ring and call for you?
46540Shall I send you in the carriage?
46540Shall we find a good harbor for our''Dolphin,''father?
46540Shall we go up the Orinoco?
46540Slaves, grandma?
46540Spanish colors? 46540 That was you, grandma, was n''t it?"
46540The Gulf Stream is very important, is n''t it, papa?
46540The Romans?
46540The Stream is very broad, is n''t it, papa?
46540The carriage is coming, Lu,said Eva;"are you ready for a drive?
46540The sea fight?
46540The whales are so big and strong; do n''t they ever fight back when men try to kill them, papa?
46540Then, papa, does n''t it seem as if we ought to be busied with religious duties all the time?
46540There were other charges, were there not, Captain?
46540They belong to England, do n''t they, grandma?
46540They have earthquakes there sometimes, have they not, father?
46540They have some very large and busy ants in this country, have n''t they, father?
46540This is one of the occasions for the wearing of the wedding- gown, is it not?
46540To what genus does he belong, Captain?
46540Trinidad is a warm place, is n''t it, grandma?
46540Was n''t it, papa?
46540Well, dear child, what is it?
46540Well, dears, we have had a very good time at Bermuda, have n''t we?
46540Well, little master, did n''t you make a mistake, too?
46540Whalebone or baleen is black, is n''t it, papa?
46540What about little master?
46540What are the names of some of them, grandma? 46540 What do monkeys eat, papa?"
46540What do you say, Grandma Dinsmore?
46540What is it, papa? 46540 What is to be the subject of to- morrow''s lesson, Captain?"
46540What mischief did it do, grandma?
46540What was?
46540What would you say as to visiting Viamede?
46540What''s that, uncle?
46540Where are Vi, Grace and the children?
46540Where do you suppose Max is now, father?
46540Who is making you talk, I wonder?
46540Why do you want me to talk so much, little mistress?
46540Why is this kind of whale called bottlenosed, papa?
46540Why should n''t Elsie go too? 46540 Why should they wish they had died in the land of Egypt, or in the wilderness?
46540Will this be your first visit to Porto Rico, Captain?
46540Will we go back to Trinidad?
46540Wo nt you sit down with us? 46540 Would you like to be?"
46540Yes, but we are having a very good time here on the''Dolphin,''are n''t we, Elsie?
46540Yes, papa,she laughed,"who would n''t be an early bird to get such a token of love from such a father as mine?"
46540Yes, sir; Grandpa Travilla would have been his-- papa''s-- father- in- law if he had lived, would n''t he?
46540Yes,seemed to come from another voice,"would n''t I like to git in thar and help myself?
46540You and uncle, of course, expect to be at Woodburn to- night, Aunt Elsie?
46540You are not weary of life on shipboard, daughter?
46540You are not wearying of it, I hope, my dear?
46540You are taking us home now, I suppose, father?
46540You do n''t want to be surprised by the pretty things you will see there, eh?
46540You have been there, have n''t you, grandma?
46540You have enjoyed your trip thus far, daughter, have you not?
46540You know something about it, I suppose?
46540You will come, wo n''t you?
46540You will not mind seeing me in it for the second time, will you?
46540You would n''t like to miss that?
46540Your leave of absence has nearly expired?
46540And Paul and Silas, when asked by the jailor,''Sirs, what must I do to be saved?''
46540And how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
46540And it comes out of the whale''s mouth, does it, papa?"
46540And shall we not take a little stroll about your grounds when we leave the breakfast- room?"
46540And the Lord said unto Moses,''How long will this people provoke me?
46540And what effect had their report upon the people, Cousin Violet?"
46540And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey?
46540But what do you know about Jamaica, the island we are bound for?"
46540Chester, what did Moses say in reply?"
46540Did you not notice the almost infantile innocence in the expression of their countenances?"
46540Do n''t you think so?"
46540Do n''t you, Cousin Ronald?"
46540Do n''t you?"
46540Do n''t you?"
46540Do you care very much about them, Tee- tee?"
46540Do you know, Neddie, what Eshcol means?"
46540Do you like to be with us on this nice big yacht?"
46540Do you think it-- his coming-- is very near?"
46540Does it not?"
46540Eager, excited remarks and queries now followed in rapid succession from the others present--"When was the start to be made?
46540Gracie wo n''t you ride him home?
46540Have you something to show us?"
46540Here in the first chapter of Acts we read that the disciples asked,''Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
46540How could she bear it?
46540How could they depart out of the city while it was compassed with armies?"
46540How much have you?"
46540I do n''t know any lovelier or more delightful place to go to; do you, papa?"
46540I presume you would all like to see that city?"
46540Is it a fertile island, papa?
46540Is n''t it delightful to begin our married life in so lovely a home of our very own?"
46540Is there any way for us to get gifts for all these dear folks on the yacht with us, or for any of them, papa?"
46540Is there much to attract us there?
46540Ned laughed, saying,"So you think, do you?"
46540Papa, where are we going now?
46540Papa, wo n''t you tell us something about the Amazon?"
46540Shall I read it?"
46540Shall I tell you about it?"
46540Shall my brother Tee- tee have a good time with me, too?"
46540Then, catching sight of his little girl as he gained the deck, and seeing that she was crying bitterly,"Elsie daughter, what is it?"
46540To interest and instruct?
46540Uncle Harold, you came pretty near having a share in the Santiago one, did n''t you?"
46540We are bound for Porto Rico now, are we not?"
46540Were it not better for us to return into Egypt?''
46540What are they, grandpa?"
46540What has happened to them?"
46540What shall we do?
46540Who besides Grandma Elsie and the Captain were to compose the party?"
46540Who shall say that you wo n''t change your mind after a few weeks spent in Brazil?"
46540Why not stay here with us?"
46540Will they ever come back?"
46540Will we get there to- day?"
46540Wo nt you come in and eat with me?"
46540Wo nt you go with us, Grace?
46540Would you like me to tell you about some of the more interesting ones?"
46540Would you like me to tell you something of its beauties and its history?"
46540and are there many of them?"
46540and have you decided where you wish to go?"
46540and which set will you join, little wife?"
46540and will you remember?"
46540asked Ned;"were there houses destroyed and people killed?"
46540how is he-- my darling little son?"
46540or was it he who took you?"
46540who wants to be paid for saving that cute little chap from drowning?"
35042A dictionary, eh?
35042Afraid of me, Pen?
35042All the way?
35042And aunt Judith?
35042And he was n''t hurt a mite?
35042And your mother?
35042Any kind of words?
35042Are they not too big for the fireplace?
35042Are they trying to do any thing to loosen the pack?
35042At that distance? 35042 Aunt Judith,"asked Susie,"did anybody ever live here?"
35042Buckshot? 35042 But, Pen, does your cousin play the piano?"
35042Ca n''t you eat''em?
35042Call and see him? 35042 Can Susie and I go?"
35042Can that be a real rabbit,he thought,"sitting there so still?"
35042Can we get him?
35042Can you feel him?
35042Can you knit? 35042 Can you really skate, Susie?"
35042Can you? 35042 Corry beat ye, did he?"
35042Corry, hear that? 35042 Corry,"said Port after Vosh went away,"what sort of a place is Mink Lake?"
35042Corry,said Port as he nestled down among the buffalo- robes,"is there any thing up this way that pays better than a donation?"
35042Corry,said Port,"do n''t you think this is pretty hard work for Sunday morning?"
35042Corry,said Port,"how''ll they do it,--cart the snow away?"
35042Corry,said Porter,"what are all those flat- irons and hammers for?"
35042Could n''t one pair draw it?
35042Could n''t you tell us the story?
35042Did any thing happen to either of''em?
35042Did he get out?
35042Did he hurt you? 35042 Did n''t it?
35042Did n''t she ride home with Vosh Stebbins? 35042 Did n''t you know that?
35042Did n''t you know? 35042 Did n''t you see any thing whatever?"
35042Did they kill him?
35042Did you ever milk cows, Port?
35042Did you git''em right, Vosh?
35042Did you hit him on the run?
35042Did you hit him? 35042 Did your cake come up?
35042Did your father say that?
35042Do n''t you have''em in the city?
35042Do n''t you like waffles?
35042Do n''t you see? 35042 Do n''t you think we''re a little too old for that?"
35042Do they nibble first, Vosh?
35042Do you mean Susie Hudson?
35042Do you mean to tell me that that thing did n''t stop till you were out in the middle of the mill- pond?
35042Elder Keyser,he sang out,"was that word''mystery,''or''mastery,''or''monastery,''or was it''mercy''?
35042Father,said Corry,"shall we go and see who it is?"
35042Father,said Mrs. Farnham,"do you think there''s more snow coming?"
35042Fishing through the ice, Susie, and-- and-- there''s ever so many other things.--Mother, can we go?
35042Going for wolves, are you?
35042Going somewhere?
35042Got a buck, did ye? 35042 Got him, have you?"
35042Got the hog back? 35042 Guess I have,"replied he; and then it was Adonijah Bunce who remarked,--"Did n''t quite do it, did ye?"
35042Had n''t we better stop that noise, first thing we do?
35042Has the water got there yet?
35042Have you got any snow at your house? 35042 Have you?"
35042He did n''t toast the whole deer, and put him on?
35042Hear that jumping? 35042 How about the deer?"
35042How d''ye do, Vosh? 35042 How did you ever get through?"
35042How will he find out which one of them he''d better follow up?
35042How would you like that, Susie?
35042How''d you find the roads?
35042How''d you get''em to the village?
35042How''ll we ever find our way back again?
35042How''ll we work it?
35042I guess he did n''t get turned out of the house when he was old,said Port enthusiastically;"but why did n''t you fix the trap, and set it again?"
35042I like brush on a fire: do n''t you?
35042I''ll fetch''em over.--Susie, where''s your brother?
35042I? 35042 In the city too?
35042Is Jack a deer- hound?
35042Is he a hunter?
35042Is it a hollow tree, Corry?
35042Is it all good news?
35042Is it far?
35042Is it rising?
35042Is it something for me?
35042Is n''t it grand?
35042Is n''t there? 35042 Is n''t your father coming, Pen?"
35042Joshaway, what''s this? 35042 Joshua,"said Mrs. Farnham,"will he need help?
35042Judith,she asked,"was n''t you and Sarah ever no younger''n you be now?
35042Live here, child? 35042 Me, Corry?
35042Mean? 35042 Meeting- house?
35042More snow here than you have in the city?
35042Nothing but buckshot? 35042 Or Greenland, or Siberia?"
35042Ought it, now? 35042 Pen,"said Susie,"could it pull her through the hole?"
35042Pen,said Susie,"what does he mean?"
35042Pen,said her mother,"do n''t you mean to kiss cousin Porter?"
35042Please, uncle Joshua,said Susie,"what is the gate for?"
35042Port, can you shoot?
35042Port,said Mrs. Farnham,"what was that word?"
35042Port,she said,"had n''t you better come in here with us?"
35042Powder? 35042 S''pose you make a king?"
35042Sakes alive!--Susie, would you like to go and look on for a while?
35042See him? 35042 See''em, Susie?
35042Shall I help you, Port?
35042Shall we all go?
35042Shall we go through the village?
35042Sit down?
35042Susie, is that you? 35042 Susie,"said Pen,"do n''t you know?
35042Susie,said Port,"does n''t this make you think of Lapland?"
35042Susie?
35042Tell it? 35042 The guns,--aren''t they loaded?"
35042There,said Vosh as he pulled a straw from the hand extended to him:"where does it send me?"
35042They wo n''t bite in winter, will they?
35042Those black specks?
35042Three of''em?
35042Vosh, does it steer?
35042Vosh,said Susie,"what has become of all your deer?"
35042Vosh,she asked,"did you lose all your powder and your string?"
35042Was it a bear?
35042Was n''t she at the donation?
35042Was that it? 35042 Was that the report of a gun, or was it the sound of another tree falling?"
35042We have n''t reached the swamp yet, have we?
35042We''re having the splendidest kind of a time, ai n''t we?
35042What are the big ones for?
35042What are we to get into?
35042What are you loaded with, Vosh?
35042What are you rubbing for, Corry?
35042What can it be? 35042 What does he mean, Corry?"
35042What for, Vosh?
35042What have I got? 35042 What if anybody should see us?
35042What if the upper dam should give way?
35042What is it, Port?
35042What is it? 35042 What is so strange?"
35042What is the difference, aunt Judith?
35042What kind of fish,--trout?
35042What kind of fun?
35042What kind? 35042 What''ll that be?"
35042What''s a pole- drag?
35042What''s in the little barrel?
35042What''s that?
35042What''s that?
35042When is the best time to hunt for bears?
35042Where are your men?
35042Where shall I pull up, mother?
35042Where''d they cart it to? 35042 Where''d you get''em, Sile?"
35042Where''s Susie? 35042 Where?"
35042Why do n''t you put on your snow- shoes?
35042Why, Susie, do n''t you see? 35042 Why, do n''t you know?"
35042Will Susie come? 35042 Will he hunt?"
35042Will he stay here and chop trees all alone?
35042Will that be enough?
35042Will there be any dessert?
35042With those in my pouch? 35042 Wo n''t he play fair?"
35042Wo n''t it put out the fire?
35042Wo n''t the snow melt under it?
35042Wo n''t there?
35042Would it do ye any good to have some other kind of spellin''-book, so you''d know more words?
35042A little glue had remounted the knight, and set up the broken king; and when Corry remarked,"Did n''t he get''em cheap?"
35042After a minute or so, he uttered one word,--"Pumpkin- seeds?"
35042Ai n''t you?"
35042Almost her first words, after his return home, were,--"Made ye stay to tea, did they?
35042And with small shot too?
35042Are there any in winter?
35042Are you tired?"
35042At the end of it all, he said to his wife,--"My dear, did you know that youngsters of that kind were scarce?
35042But do n''t you think it''s pretty hard work for any kind of day?"
35042But what have you been a- doin''?"
35042But what''s it for?"
35042Can you cut a figure 8, this way?
35042Can you tell?"
35042Did you ever see a figure 4 rat- trap?
35042Did you get''em?"
35042Did you hear more than one, Vosh?"
35042Did you say it was a deer?
35042Do n''t you know?
35042Do n''t you see?
35042Do n''t you see?
35042Do n''t you think she has a very pleasant face?"
35042Do you ever find any?"
35042Do you ever get any thing bigger than rabbits out here?"
35042Do you want to have them there top logs a- rollin''across the floor?"
35042Even Squire King himself dropped his newspaper, and listened, and asked,"What''s the world coming to?"
35042Example?"
35042Example?"
35042Example?"
35042Example?"
35042Example?"
35042Example?"
35042Example?"
35042Going to blow up dot ice?"
35042Going to slide down hill in a cutter?"
35042Got to wearin''short dresses, hev they?
35042Got your axe?
35042Had n''t you better take that popper and set to work?"
35042Hear Ponto''s yelp?
35042Hear him jump?"
35042Hear him?"
35042How do you do it?
35042How do you do?
35042How do you know I''ve got any thing?"
35042How is your mother?"
35042How''d you like that, Susie?
35042I''d go in a minute, if I had a gun, and was sure it would n''t go off.--Susie, are you and Pen goin''?
35042If Mrs. Stebbins can spare Vosh"--"My mother?
35042If Susie goes, may I go?--Are you going?"
35042Is n''t he a whopper?
35042Is there any trap big enough to catch a bear in?"
35042It was of no use for aunt Judith to say,--"Wo n''t you have another slice of pie, Angeline, and some more cider?"
35042Just half a minute later, Corry turned ruefully to his cousin, and asked him,--"Port, what did you and I fire both barrels of our guns for?"
35042Just then Pen''s voice sounded from the kitchen excitedly,--"Do you hear that, Susie?
35042Me?
35042Morning call, eh?"
35042No; but you would n''t have the girls walk up hill after every slide, would you?"
35042Now, why could n''t we go in for a mess of pickerel?"
35042Pie?
35042Rosenstein?"
35042See her?"
35042See how I''ve rigged that yoke to the front bob?
35042See that hole at the bottom?
35042See the two arms a- standing up?
35042See''em move?
35042See''em?
35042See?
35042Shall I begin to make the waffles?"
35042Shall I help you?"
35042She did; and late in the evening Vosh Stebbins stepped up to her, and whispered,--"May I see you home?
35042She was hardly over the threshold, before she said, as she loosened her shawl,--"Judith, where is Susie and her brother, and Corry and Pen?
35042Stebbins?"
35042Stebbins?"
35042Susie only turned to her mother, and asked,--"What do you think, mother?"
35042Susie''s fetched along her brother with her, has she?
35042The deacon brightened up a little as he responded,"Deer, eh?
35042The deacon paused a moment, as if thinking how to go on; and Porter Hudson asked him eagerly,--"Did he have the kind of luck I had yesterday?"
35042The front- door of the house swung open quicker than did the gate, and Pen was on the stoop, shouting anxiously,--"Did they come, Corry?
35042The very mention of those little animals made the boys look at each other as if asking,--"Did you ever hunt any thing as small as a rabbit?"
35042There ai n''t many of''em, and cutting''em might hurt''em; and where a man has n''t but a little"--"Something green?
35042There, it is n''t torn much.--Now, Pen, do you think the oxen can pull such a load as this?"
35042They came right in, of course; and the first words were from her,--"Now, Judith, you and Sarah ai n''t goin'', are ye?
35042They have n''t gone away somewhere the very first night, have they?
35042Think you can keep up?
35042Two on''em?
35042Two wolves and a deer?
35042Vosh, perhaps, or any hunter of more experience, would have said,--"See his antlers, just above the thick bush?
35042Was anybody hurt?
35042Was he running?"
35042Was n''t he hurt?"
35042What could I do with a cretur like that?"
35042What for?"
35042What have they to do with it?"
35042What is it?"
35042What is it?"
35042What''ll he do with so many tallow- dips?
35042What''s got into me to- night?
35042What''s that a- burnin''?
35042What''s that in front?"
35042What''s the matter?"
35042Where are Port and Corry?"
35042Where can all the time have gone to?"
35042Where''s Pen?"
35042Where''s Port?
35042Who can she be?"
35042Who cares?
35042Why does n''t Vosh stop?"
35042Why, do you mean they can climb?"
35042Will Elder Evans''s folks live on what''s left, for the rest of the year?"
35042Will he jump?"
35042You do n''t feel like a tramp out after wolves on such a night as this?"
35042You will not disappoint me?
35042You wo n''t, will ye, not with Susie Hudson and her brother a- lookin''on?"
35042almost shouted aunt Judith,"what do you mean?
35042did you know how late it is?
35042exclaimed Pen,"did n''t you eat any thing?"
35042exclaimed Pen,"did n''t you know there were deer up at Mink Lake,--real deer?"
35042exclaimed Pen,"where did you hear of it?"
35042exclaimed Susie,"what will his mother say of him now?"
35042may I go?"
35042why do n''t you go and get your things on?
15655''Member how it looks in the summer time?
15655All right? 15655 All set back there?
15655And sledding after school, Mother?
15655And you do n''t see why we slight the Oak Hill station-- is that it?
15655Annabel Lee ca n''t get up there, can she?
15655Are your hands cold, Meg? 15655 But how do you have a fair?"
15655Ca n''t I have the shovel, Daddy? 15655 Ca n''t I steer good now, Bobby?"
15655Ca n''t we, Mother?
15655Cake, Meg?
15655Can we go, too?
15655Can we stay?
15655Can you steer it?
15655Company, is it?
15655Could I do that?
15655Could n''t we eat pretty soon?
15655Could we-- do you think we could, have a snowball fight out in the yard after school? 15655 Darling Daddy, ca n''t we go in the box sleigh?"
15655Did Mr. Carter make''em?
15655Did n''t I steer it all day Saturday, silly?
15655Did n''t we do it right?
15655Did you bring us something?
15655Did you bring us something?
15655Did you bring us something?
15655Did you eat your candy?
15655Did you lose a sled, too?
15655Do n''t you remember? 15655 Do n''t you think it feels like more snow?"
15655Do n''t you want to come in and get warm, Ted?
15655Do you like to drive a sleigh, Sam?
15655Do you mean to tell me they need help? 15655 Do you want to earn money for the Jordans, Bobby?"
15655Do-- do sleighs ever tip over?
15655Eleven?
15655Fair?
15655Feels like more, does n''t it?
15655Fifteen?
15655For goodness''sake, who ever heard of girls being in a snowball fight?
15655For me, Auntie? 15655 For that lame Jordan and his mother?"
15655Girls do n''t snowball fight, do they?
15655Good grief, is the house on fire?
15655Goodness, lambie, suppose you should be sick when we had the play and the fair? 15655 Got the hand- stove, Bobby?"
15655Had any snowball fights yet?
15655Has Miss Wright come in yet?
15655Has anything happened to any of ye?
15655Have you been here long?
15655He wo n''t be long, will he?
15655He''s a beauty, is n''t he?
15655He''s too little for that heavy work, is n''t he?
15655Hello, anything happened?
15655How can we get over the pond, Bobby?
15655How do you tell where Mrs. Anson''s house is?
15655How far back-- a mile?
15655How''ll you make his eyes and nose, Bobby?
15655I do n''t suppose any one will be after wanting to sample''em? 15655 I never saw a day too cold for ice- cream soda-- did you?"
15655I think he looks kind, do n''t you, Meg?
15655I would like to see snow up to the second- story windows, would n''t you, Bobby?
15655I''m pretty lucky to get my glove back, eh, Carter?
15655If a little girl owns it, will you let me know? 15655 Indoors or out?"
15655Is Meg home yet?
15655Is Meg sick?
15655Is it food for company you''re fixing now?
15655Is it for me?
15655Is it-- is it-- four o''clock?
15655Is n''t he, fellows? 15655 Is n''t it fun?
15655Is n''t it, Meg?
15655Is n''t it, Twaddles? 15655 Is n''t supper ready?"
15655Is n''t supper ready?
15655Is there a fire?
15655It is a road, is n''t it?
15655It''s colder, is n''t it?
15655Lend us a hand, ca n''t you, Twaddles?
15655Let me put some food out to- morrow morning?
15655Let me slide, too?
15655Lost something?
15655Mean?
15655Meg, will you go and get some lumps of coal? 15655 Meg, you''ll give Twaddles a coast or two, wo n''t you?
15655Mind?
15655My little girl?
15655Nobody let us go skating when we were only four years old, did they, Meg?
15655Not great Aunt Dorothy''s? 15655 Now are n''t you sorry you were cross?"
15655Now what do you know about that?
15655Oh, Bobby, can we?
15655Oh, Mother, ca n''t we go out to- night?
15655Oh, Twaddles, where are you? 15655 Oh, you are?"
15655Or an automobile?
15655Packs good, does n''t it?
15655Presents, too? 15655 Say, is n''t getting ready for a fair fun?
15655See the chicken wire sticking up?
15655See, Norah?
15655Skating cap?
15655So you''re going to help her out by giving a fair, are you? 15655 Solemn?
15655Suppose I take Dot down? 15655 Take us?"
15655Ten dollars?
15655That I never did?
15655That so?
15655That would be fun, would n''t it, Bobby?
15655Then choose colors,suggested Mr. Carter,"Why not Black and Orange?"
15655Then where were you?
15655There''s nothing to steering, is there, Bobby?
15655There, did I steer to suit you?
15655They do n''t clean off their walks, do they?
15655They were sweeping off the pond this noon, were n''t they, Meg? 15655 Tim, do you know anything about such a ball?"
15655Twaddles, what have you been up to now? 15655 Want a chair, Bobby?
15655Want to fall on your head?
15655Want to go down on the bob?
15655Want your face washed, Twaddles?
15655Want your skates sharpened?
15655Was that all, Bobby?
15655We do n''t have to save time, do we?
15655Well, Tim, that was a surprise attack for fair, was n''t it?
15655Well, anyway, there''s a sled-- we can take that, ca n''t we?
15655Well, how is it going?
15655Well, well, how did the party go?
15655Well, with all the short cuts and all the time saving I can do, we wo n''t be home before dark; does that suit you?
15655What are you doing, Mother?
15655What are you waiting for, Meg? 15655 What do we care what polar bears do when we''ve got snow all ready to use ourselves?"
15655What do you think the other side is going to be? 15655 What do you think?
15655What do you want money for?
15655What do you want to ask Mr. Mendam, Dot? 15655 What fair?
15655What have you been doing? 15655 What have you been doing?"
15655What is it, then?
15655What is it? 15655 What kind of cold did you say?"
15655What kind of table?
15655What shall we do with the thing? 15655 What sort of things are they?"
15655What was it? 15655 What you going to do?"
15655What''ll we do with our sleds?
15655What''s that out in the yard?
15655What''s that over there, Bobby?
15655What''s the matter with Bobby?
15655What''s the matter, Meg?
15655What''s the name of the horse?
15655Where are our skates? 15655 Where did you find it?
15655Where do we get things to sell? 15655 Where do you suppose that road is, Bobby?"
15655Where does it say Oak Hill is?
15655Where have you been?
15655Where is the best coasting, Bobby?
15655Where is there a sled?
15655Where''s Mother? 15655 Where''s Mother?"
15655Where''s Philip? 15655 Where''s Sam?"
15655Who did it?
15655Who said you were a general?
15655Who was the cunning littlest bear?
15655Who wrote it?
15655Why are we going to Fernwood?
15655Why ca n''t we stay a little while?
15655Why did n''t you come to school?
15655Why do n''t we tow the car along with us?
15655Why do n''t ye come out?
15655Why do you always want to tag along every place we go?
15655Why, lambs, what about school?
15655Why?
15655Will it do? 15655 Will you promise not to go away from the post- office, but wait for me there?"
15655Would n''t it be nice if we found the other glove?
15655Yes, Son?
15655You all evidently plan to start out right after breakfast, do n''t you?
15655You believe in luck, do n''t you?
15655You do n''t mind, do you, Meg?
15655You do n''t think it will hurt Dot, then?
15655You do? 15655 You found your muffler?
15655You want to know how we do it?
15655You''d like a good time to last as long as possible, would n''t you, Bobby?
15655All set?"
15655And Norah glanced in from the kitchen murmuring:"Is it entirely crazy they are at last?"
15655And as they started upstairs, Norah opened the door and called down:"Lunch is ready-- are you still playing in the cellar?"
15655And it is n''t hurt a bit, is it?"
15655Anybody going to school this morning?
15655Are n''t you glad, Aunt Polly?"
15655Are n''t you going to help me toast marshmallows?"
15655Are they good, Twaddles?"
15655Are you hurt?"
15655As an extra attraction for the fair, why do n''t you give a little play?"
15655Blossom?"
15655But we''ve had fun on these, have n''t we?"
15655But why do n''t you let me give you the ten dollars for the fair?
15655CHAPTER III AUNT DOROTHY''S LOCKET"Aunt Polly?"
15655Ca n''t I, Mother?"
15655Ca n''t we go?"
15655Ca n''t you and Twaddles find something pleasant to do in the house?"
15655Can I come?"
15655Can I wear it to school and show it to the girls?
15655Can we all be in it?"
15655Can we do it all ourselves?"
15655Can we go?"
15655Can we go?"
15655Come on, who wants to be on Bobby''s side?"
15655Did you see Miss Mason, Meg?"
15655Do you like it, dear?"
15655Do you want me to come and buy things?
15655Do you want to write the notice?"
15655Everybody accounted for?"
15655Feet cold?"
15655Four children flung open the door for him and fell upon him crying:"Where is it?
15655Gee, does n''t that sound like Philip?"
15655How about a couple of nice penknives?"
15655How are you going to stop it when you get down on the ice?"
15655How many may we have?"
15655How''s that?"
15655I suppose you want two dozen and a half, Bobby?"
15655I wonder where Norah is?"
15655Is Mrs. Jordan sick?"
15655Is it swelling?"
15655Is the coasting good?"
15655Let''s see, it''s about time for the assembly bell, is n''t it?"
15655Make Dot and Twaddles save us some candy, will you?"
15655Meg was pleased, as what little sister would not be?
15655Mendam?"
15655Miss Mason did n''t keep you in, did she?"
15655Now I wonder what I have you would like?
15655Oh, Bobby, are you dead?"
15655Oh, Bobby, does n''t he look funny?"
15655Oh, dear, what will Mother say?"
15655Or a little boy-- please?"
15655Remember, wo n''t you, Bobby?"
15655Suppose you guess?"
15655Then, as Norah had exclaimed, Mother Blossom cried:"What in the world have you been into, Twaddles?"
15655Want to go with me?"
15655We''ll all help, wo n''t we, Daddy?"
15655Were you looking for us?"
15655What are you doing anyway, Twaddles?"
15655What could be simpler than to walk along the roof of the porch, raise a window and get in?
15655What do you think the reward should be, Carter?"
15655What happened to your eye?"
15655What have you been doing?"
15655What is it, Dot?"
15655What is it?"
15655What kind of complaint is that?"
15655What kind of play is it going to be, Bobby?
15655What''ll we take her, Mother?"
15655What''s that all over your hands?"
15655What''s that sticking up?"
15655Where are our skates?"
15655Where could we have the fair, Mother?"
15655Where did it come from?
15655Where do you want them?"
15655Where to now?"
15655Where was it?
15655Where''s Norah?"
15655Where''s it going to be?
15655Where?
15655Who found it?
15655Who wants some?"
15655Who''s it for?
15655Why do n''t you, and some of the boys and girls in your class, give a little fair?
15655Why?"
15655With forts and everything?
15655Ye do?
15655You have n''t built him where he will bother Norah when she wants to hang out clothes, have you?"
15655You know how, Sam?"
15655You''ve noticed, have n''t you, how every one on a bobsled just naturally screams when it is flying down a steep hill?
15655can I?"
15655said Bobby, preparing to help Sam carry out his table,"I wonder how much we made?"
15655shouted Bobby,"where''s my bearskin cap?"
15655where are you?"
8697Ai n''t you afraid o''being frizz to death?
8697Ai n''t you got anything to drink?
8697Am I mistaken, or did I hear a whistle?
8697Am I mistaken, or is that a deer?
8697Am I mistaken, or is that a tree yonder?
8697And how''s that?
8697And where do you belong?
8697Are n''t you afraid of a big snow coming on?
8697Are they sure you threw the snowball?
8697Are you all ready?
8697Are you burnt?
8697Are you certain?
8697Are you hurt?
8697Are you sure you are heading for the timber?
8697As the boathouse was not worth much, why was it blown up?
8697Back at last, eh? 8697 Boys, are you awake?"
8697Boys, what can this mean?
8697Burnt down? 8697 But how am I to get there?"
8697But how?
8697But what of your dog? 8697 But what?"
8697But where is he?
8697But why should they do it?
8697But, say, you''ll help me to your camp, wo n''t you?
8697Ca n''t I go over and see Ham?
8697Ca n''t I have the five dollars you promised me for Christmas?
8697Ca n''t I though? 8697 Ca n''t we follow him?"
8697Ca n''t you crawl out?
8697Can I hit him, do you think?
8697Can the cabin have burnt down right after we left it?
8697Can we get any more of''em?
8697Can you keep us until to- morrow morning?
8697Did he steal anything?
8697Did n''t I warn you off of my land last summer? 8697 Did n''t hit him-- at such a short distance?"
8697Did those boys come to a camp up here?
8697Did you address me?
8697Did you catch him, Snap?
8697Did you ever hear of such meanness?
8697Did you ever see this spot before?
8697Did you hit it?
8697Did you really see a dozen?
8697Did-- did my shot hit anybody?
8697Do n''t you remember I mentioned it to you, Shep, last summer? 8697 Do n''t you suppose there are some birds or squirrels or rabbits around here?"
8697Do n''t you think we can find the lake? 8697 Do you know him?"
8697Do you know that they are talking about camping out again?
8697Do you know what I am going to do-- if it does n''t snow too hard?
8697Do you know what I think it is?
8697Do you know what I think?
8697Do you remember how we stopped at Pop Lundy''s orchard when we went to the camp in the rowboat?
8697Do you remember the big one I caught last summer?
8697Do you think he can break out of the closet?
8697Do you think it could start up of itself?
8697Do you think more of the trees will come down?
8697Do you think they''ll come out this winter?
8697Do you think we can signal to the others?
8697Do you think we ought to go after him? 8697 Do you want the neighborhood to think that there are more explosions taking place?"
8697Do you want to crush me into a pancake? 8697 Do you want to cut up the deer before we get back to camp?"
8697Does n''t it look like it?
8697Dudder, are n''t you ashamed of yourself?
8697Eat? 8697 Eh?"
8697Eh?
8697Felps, ai n''t you going to claim the deer?
8697Giant, ca n''t you turn and get some air through the cracks of the side?
8697Giant, why did n''t you hang up your stocking last night?
8697Glad? 8697 Going to leave with only two ducks?"
8697Going to tie me up in the barn and starve me to death, eh?
8697Gosh, got a state secret, eh?
8697Got any liquor? 8697 Had any luck?"
8697Had n''t I better stay here, Giant? 8697 Hamilton, what does this mean?"
8697Hark I what was that?
8697Have I? 8697 Have you any idea when you will be back?"
8697Have you been up to the Dodge camp?
8697Have you had anything to eat?
8697Have you spotted any?
8697Having pretty good luck, you say?
8697How are we going ahead, since you are the only one that knows where the game is?
8697How are your apples getting along?
8697How can you expect us to believe you? 8697 How did he learn I threw that snowball?
8697How far from here?
8697How in the world did he manage it?
8697How is it you are getting a free ride?
8697How is that?
8697How much have you got?
8697How much money have we got on hand?
8697How much money have you got with you?
8697How would dynamite get here?
8697How would you like to go to that camp and make trouble for that crowd?
8697How?
8697How?
8697Hullo, how did you git out there?
8697Hullo, what''s up?
8697I wonder who did hit him?
8697If I can prove that it was n''t my doings-- that is-- that I am not the responsible party, will you let me go?
8697If it goes out on us we wo n''t want to be without something to eat?
8697If we go out what is to be done with that fellow?
8697If we go out, I know what I want?
8697Is it on the other side of the lake?
8697Is it time to get up?
8697Is n''t he a darling?
8697Is that the good one?
8697Is this your land?
8697Me?
8697More?
8697Next thing is, do you know that tramp feller with the name o''Kiddy Leech? 8697 No harm to steal our things?
8697Now, what do you think of that?
8697Oh, Snap, do you think so?
8697Oh, so it''s you fellers ag''in, hey? 8697 Oh, so you''ve got a camp around here?"
8697Oh, what shall we do?
8697Out o''work, eh?
8697Reckon you''ve got some for me, eh?
8697Say, Ham, can you trust this fellow?
8697Say, boys, camping out with chicken and mince pie wo n''t be bad, will it?
8697Say, do gentlemen''s sons blow up boathouses?
8697Say, do you want to smother me?
8697Say, how do you like that?
8697Say, what are you chaps gassing about anyway?
8697See that spot on the fence yonder? 8697 See''em?"
8697Shall we go after him?
8697Shall we go back for our skates?
8697Shall we go on or stop for dinner?
8697Snap, do you think our cartridges went off? 8697 So long as you''ve got plenty of firewood why not use it?"
8697So you played the trick on them, eh? 8697 So you wo n''t take the deer meat, even after we carried it away over here?"
8697Some bird?
8697Some other boys?
8697That will bring us between Firefly Lake and Lake Cameron, wo n''t it?
8697That''s a fair deal, is n''t it?
8697Then kin I get dinner?
8697Then why did n''t he tumble down or fly away?
8697Then you wo n''t sell us any ammunition?
8697Time for me to stand guard?
8697Trying to split the rock?
8697Want some apples, hey? 8697 Want to go home, Whopper?"
8697Wha-- what do you mean by hitting me like that?
8697Wha-- what do you want?
8697Wha-- what''s that?
8697Wha-- what''s the matter? 8697 What I am thinking of is, what are we to do to- night?
8697What a tumble? 8697 What are we to do with him?"
8697What are you firing at?
8697What are you going to do with me?
8697What are you going to do with that?
8697What are you talking about?
8697What blew up?
8697What can that be?
8697What can they be wanting now?
8697What could that have been?
8697What did it look like?
8697What did you get?
8697What do you know about blowing up a boathouse?
8697What do you mean by hitting me?
8697What do you mean by making trouble in this fashion?
8697What do you mean by that?
8697What do you see?
8697What do you suppose had become of him?
8697What do you think?
8697What do you want anyway?
8697What do you want of me?
8697What do you want?
8697What does this mean?
8697What game?
8697What have ye took along to eat?
8697What in the world can it be?
8697What in the world can it mean?
8697What in the world does that mean?
8697What in the world is that?
8697What in the world kept you so long?
8697What is it now but night?
8697What is it?
8697What is it?
8697What is that to you?
8697What more, Jed?
8697What shall we do?
8697What was it about?
8697What was that?
8697What we you going to do?
8697What were their names?
8697What''s attacking us?
8697What''s that for?
8697What''s that?
8697What''s the matter with this?
8697What''s the matter with you?
8697What''s the matter?
8697What''s the news, Jed?
8697What''s the row?
8697What''s this?
8697What''s to do?
8697What''s up now?
8697What''s up?
8697What''s up?
8697What''s up?
8697What''s wanted?
8697What''s wanted?
8697What''s your name?
8697What, Giant?
8697What, Snap?
8697What, going to throw me out in such weather as this?
8697What, this winter?
8697What, with one snowball?
8697What?
8697What?
8697When do you suppose he got away?
8697Where are the deer?
8697Where are they going?
8697Where are you going?
8697Where are you going?
8697Where are you?
8697Where be you a- goin?
8697Where did he go?
8697Where did you come from, Fairview?
8697Where is he?
8697Where is the buck?
8697Where were you going to hide them, at the second- hand shop or the pawn- broker''s?
8697Where were you?
8697Where''s the axe?
8697Where''s the duck?
8697Where?
8697Who could have done it?
8697Who has played us this shabby trick?
8697Who said anything about going home?
8697Who says so?
8697Who says we ca n''t catch something?
8697Who was it, Benny?
8697Who''s going to carry the million pieces?
8697Who''s out and who''s caught?
8697Who?
8697Who?
8697Whopper, did n''t you make some mistake?
8697Whopper, will you do that?
8697Why ca n''t I go along?
8697Why ca n''t we pile a lot of dead leaves on top, to make it air tight?
8697Why, ca n''t I keep that?
8697Why, do n''t you know that one day there were six Tom cats on a fence and I took a snowball and hit''em all?
8697Why, what do you mean, sir?
8697Will we be snowed in?
8697Will you give him the hint?
8697Wonder how we can make him come out of his hole?
8697Wonder what the boys are doing?
8697Wonder who they can be?
8697Wot''s your trade?
8697You came to the raising, did n''t you? 8697 You did n''t?"
8697You did?
8697You do n''t suspect Felps, do you?
8697You think we''ll be snowbound?
8697You wo n''t let me go-- if I tell you something very important?
8697You-- er-- you saw us?
8697Ai n''t starvin''none, eh?"
8697Are all the things here?"
8697Are n''t you glad?"
8697Are you all right?"
8697Are you going to sleep all day?"
8697As Snap said,"you could always tell Whopper''s whoppers a mile off,"which I think was something of a whopper in itself, do n''t you?
8697But I saw one blown up not long ago, and--""And what?"
8697CHAPTER X OUT AFTER DEER"You see two deer?"
8697CHAPTER XV SOMETHING OF A CHASE"It is easy enough to say go after the tramp, but where are you going to find him?"
8697Did n''t he go after him?"
8697Do you mean to say you got them deer an''that buck to- day?"
8697Dog mean, was n''t it?
8697Felps?"
8697Goin''campin''once more?
8697Have you any?"
8697How are ye, Jed?"
8697How are you?"
8697How could they go off, unless they were fired, from a gun or otherwise?"
8697How many do ye want?"
8697I wonder what I had better do?"
8697Is anybody hurt?"
8697Snap, do n''t you want to try it?"
8697That''s rare luck; eh, Jed?"
8697The lads were greatly praised and if their parents were proud of what their sons had done, who can blame them?
8697The spot where the young trees stood so close together in a circle?"
8697Their food would not last long, and where were they to get more?
8697Well, lads, what brings you in such a snow?"
8697What blew up, some of your powder?"
8697What do you advise?"
8697What if some game should suddenly appear?
8697What kind of a camp did they have, a regular log cabin?"
8697What sizes have you got?"
8697What''s the matter with broiling a venison streak?"
8697What''s the matter with calling the place Birch Tree Inn?"
8697Who do you think the tramp sent fer when he was in jail?"
8697Who is this with you?"
8697Who threw at him?"
8697Who threw that bag of apples?"
8697Will it be worth while to go after the others, do you think?"
8697Would n''t ye like one o''them?"
8697Would you mind giving me a bit to eat?"
8697ca n''t we go hunting?"
8697cried all of the others, and then Whopper added:"But it is n''t very Merry, is it?"
8697what are you doing here?"
8697what''s this?"
21718Ah, I thought so-- a gun?
21718All,she replied with a quick look,"was not that enough?"
21718Am I making faces?
21718Am I permitted to select the clerk who is to go with me as well as the men?
21718Am I to translate that?
21718An''are we to be left behind,growled Dougall,"when there''s fightin''to be done?"
21718An''what for no?
21718And are you ready to go with me to the far south to see your father''s mother? 21718 And are you willing, Eve, to leave your tribe and go off alone with me?"
21718And she has accepted you?
21718And what can be more worthy of man''s admiration and respectful affection?
21718And what may the signs be?
21718And why did he give you the name of Waboose?
21718And why has Big Otter left the pale- faces, and brought Waboose away from them?
21718And you, my friend,I said,"what will your movements be?"
21718Any message, Max?
21718Are my brothers ready to go to the camp of Big Otter, and make friends at once?
21718Are there not deer enough in the woods, and buffalo enough on the plains, that the red- man should take to testing his arrows on pale- faces?
21718Are you to have attics?
21718Are you wounded, mother?
21718At all events you must know his name, Waboose?
21718Bin dreamin''?
21718Blue- eyes wanders far to- day from the wigwams of her-- her-- people?
21718But sar,objected Salamander,"w''at if me meets vid de vite scoundrils?"
21718But what has happened to the other-- when, how, and where?
21718But what if I feel a sort of inspiration which convinces me that I do possess prophetic powers, at least to some extent?
21718But what of the service?
21718But what say you to my making the attempt?
21718But why did you take me by surprise in this way, dear daddy; why did n''t you let me know you were coming?
21718But, sar,he said, with a sorrowful countenance,"w''at for I no go vith you?"
21718But, then,said I,"will not the company gain the furs which used to be damaged, and therefore lost, on the long voyage to Muskrat?
21718Can you guess where it comes through?
21718D''you know that the thermometer stood at forty below zero this morning before breakfast?
21718Did Muxbee not care when Big Otter carried Waboose away?
21718Did Waboose tell Big Otter all this?
21718Did she say you might communicate its contents to_ me_?
21718Did she tell you so?
21718Did she, indeed? 21718 Did they feed him?"
21718Did they make much of him?
21718Did you smell his preath?
21718Do n''t ye think it''s just possible,suggested Macnab,"that, having only your earth- body, you_ drank_ too much?"
21718Do n''t you think it is the proverbial calm before the storm?
21718Do you observe,said Lumley to me, in a low voice,"what a well- balanced mind he has?"
21718Do you think they had a long start before that?
21718Does my father not know?
21718Does she sleep?
21718Does the daughter of Weeum the Good hold communion with evil spirits?
21718Excuse me, daddy, but what ground have you for supposing that Miss Waboose would accept me, even if I were free to ask her hand?
21718For whom are these pretty things, my dear?
21718From Willie Liston?
21718Ground? 21718 Had he no other name?"
21718Have I been long insensible, Salamander?
21718How did he come to hear of Attick''s intentions?
21718How long is it since you discovered that they were gone?
21718How much of that message am I to send?
21718How was that?
21718How will my white brother prevent war?
21718How? 21718 I know it, Max, but though I may seem to be half jesting, is it not possible that I, too, may thoroughly mean what I say?"
21718I know it; what then? 21718 I wonder,"said Macnab, who was apt to become speculative and philosophical over his pipe after supper,"I wonder if dogs ever envy us our pipes?
21718If I were to ask you, Big Otter, which of the two directions you would like to take, what would you reply?
21718In war?
21718Is all prepared?
21718Is it drownded ye all are, Muster Lumley?
21718Is it likely to be the fire of an enemy?
21718Is it to stop here, we are?
21718Is not the promise_ sure_?
21718Is that all?
21718Iss he tead, Tonald?
21718Iss it not dreamin''ye wass, an''tryin''to eat some more in your sleep? 21718 It is Attick and his party-- is it not?"
21718It''s of no use wasting your breath, my boy,--but tell me, is Jessie anxious for this change?
21718No doubt,replied Lumley--"but what says this letter?"
21718No more like a savage than I am?
21718No-- is he?
21718No? 21718 No?
21718Nobody hurt, I hope?
21718Not in this weather, surely,retorted Macnab,"and if I did feel coldish in the circumstances, could n''t I borrow Spooner''s blanket- capote?
21718Not too late, I hope?
21718Nothing for me, sir?
21718Nothing warmer to_ anybody_?
21718Nothing wrong, I hope?
21718Now then, chief,asked Lumley, with an urbane expression of countenance,"what shall I give you?"
21718Now, Eve Liston-- for that is your real name,said I, when I had finished,"what do you think ought to be done?"
21718Now,said I, in conclusion,"what do you think we should do?"
21718Oh, certainly, why not?
21718Oh, yes,she replied, with a straightforward look that almost disconcerted me;"have you not protected me well already?"
21718Shall we try it?
21718Shall you want my help to- morrow earlier than usual?
21718Shames Tougall,said Donald Bane, in an undertone, and with the deliberate slowness of his race,"what does he mean by soopy?"
21718Should we not be grateful to the Great Spirit who has given us such a splendid home?
21718Tell me, Waboose,said I,"did your father ever tell you his own name?"
21718That would be a sad calamity,said old Muskrat,"and I have no wish to fight; but how will the young white chief prevent our foes from attacking us?"
21718Then how came you to be with him when making this cowardly attack?
21718Then you have no doubt that we shall overtake them?
21718Then you like this wilderness life?
21718There is only one thing that troubles me,said I:"how are we to gauge or estimate the force of our water- spout so as to regulate our mill when made?
21718This looks somewhat like the spot, does n''t it?
21718Too late for what?
21718True, Max-- what then?
21718Was that all?
21718Was the Great Master of Life good when He let Waboose''s mother die in the midst of war and weakness? 21718 Waugh?"
21718Waugh?
21718Well, Big Otter,said I, when they returned,"now do you find the country round here in regard to game?"
21718What can one do against a hundred with weapons?
21718What cheer-- what cheer?
21718What cheer? 21718 What cheer?"
21718What do I smell?
21718What do you mean by grinning there like a Cheshire cat?
21718What do you mean by tumbling there like a Christmas goose?
21718What does my son think?
21718What does the pale- face think?
21718What else do you see?
21718What has happened?
21718What is that?
21718What is the secret, Waboose?
21718What is the subject of all this earnest conversation, Jack?
21718What is to be done now?
21718What is to be done?
21718What next?
21718What nonsense are you talking, man? 21718 What say you to a game of chess?"
21718What seems like a dream, Max-- the grub?
21718What think you, Lumley?
21718What troubles you, Eve?
21718What was the name of this white man?
21718What''s the matter with it, Blondin?
21718What''s wrong, Max?
21718What_ does_ he mean by Weeum?
21718When do you start?
21718Where am I?
21718Where have you sent the carpenter?
21718Where is who?
21718Which you do not at present, Max?
21718Who to?
21718Who_ can_ it be?
21718Why so, Max?
21718Why so?
21718Why, what''s this?
21718Ye dirty loon,growled the man in great wrath,"wass you thinkin''to get the better of a Heelandman?
21718Yes-- what of that?
21718Yes; but how, and when?
21718Yes? 21718 You accept the trust, I suppose?"
21718You intend our palace to have only one storey, I suppose?
21718You know that?
21718You never heard of Liston?
21718You were fond of Weeum?
21718You wo n''t pillow your head on oblivion now, will you, daddy?
21718You''ll go with me to Dunregan, wo n''t you, Big Otter?
21718You''ll take my letter to the governor and tell Mac to forward it with his spring packet?
21718` Why not, my father?'' 21718 After this candid statement he stared solemnly at his companion, as though to say,What think ye of that, my brave?"
21718And what d''ye think was the cause of it all?"
21718As she volunteered no more I continued:"If Waboose goes to her wigwam, will she object to the pale- face bearing her company?"
21718At last he looked earnestly at his companion and asked--"Is there fire- water at Fort Dunregan?"
21718Besides, even if we were to escape, how could we ever show face after leaving all our supply of goods and stores to rot in the wilderness?"
21718But what splendid creature is this coming towards us?"
21718But,"added my friend, becoming grave again,"is Waboose a Christian?"
21718By the way,"he added, quickly,"you''re not married_ yet_?
21718Can you not give me the message, to convey it to her?
21718Can you trust me to protect you?"
21718Did you ever taste fire- water?"
21718Did you hear any mention of names?"
21718Did you note the-- the softness, I was going to say truthfulness, of her strangely blue eyes?"
21718Do you know that that scoundrel Attick is stirring up the tribes against us?"
21718Do you understand such matters-- the measurement of force-- Coppet?"
21718Do you, Dumont?"
21718Does he not know the land?"
21718Does not the sight of a pretty young creature like that remind you of home, and all the sweet refining influences shed around it by woman?"
21718Eh?
21718Encampment comfortable?
21718Give them` Robinson Crusoe''over again?"
21718Glad to see you once more-- all alive and hearty?
21718Have n''t you noticed how respectful they all are to her?
21718Have you ever been at Fort Dunregan?"
21718Have you really got one here?"
21718He has sent Big Otter back to us in good time, and, see, has He not also sent white men to help us?"
21718How can the Sabbath be a Jewish institution when the commandment begins with` remember''?
21718How could I do otherwise?"
21718How did he come to know that name?
21718How did ye feel next morning?"
21718How shall I describe the delicious feeling of profound rest that ensued when I found myself prone and motionless?
21718I exclaimed,"why do n''t you lend a hand?"
21718I felt my deerskin coat quite oppressive to- day; does any one know what the thermometer stood at this morning?"
21718I have observed the same thing-- but, I say, what is Big Otter looking so earnestly at over there?"
21718I repeated in surprise;"how came you to know that?"
21718I say--''s fire out?"
21718I suppose you''ll also take the writing class, as before?"
21718I wonder what she''s like?"
21718If there is anything sad to tell, might it not be well to leave his poor mother in ignorance?
21718Is he not a great hunter?
21718Is it ready-- and are you quite decided about retiring?"
21718Is not one enough?"
21718Is your bag empty?"
21718It is a soft--""What does Big Otter see?"
21718It would have been so unlike your gallant nature, Max-- eh?
21718Lumley, my boy, how are ye?
21718May I ask who it is that desires to see her?"
21718May I trust_ you_?"
21718May we not think that it is for the purpose of causing His children to move about the world, and mingle, and help each other, and so increase Love?
21718Most of the cows near the patriarch looked up in evident surprise, as though to say,"What in all the world do you mean by_ that_?"
21718My being tired and the darkness of night, were against me, but what of that?
21718Need I say that I was overjoyed at this prospect?
21718Need I say that my recent cogitations and experience led me to join this riotous crew with redoubled ardour?
21718Need it be said that we had much to hear and tell?
21718No capsizes?"
21718Now, the next thing, Max,"he added, turning to me and consulting the plan,"is this-- have we made the best possible arrangement of our space?
21718On one of these occasions an elderly chief surprised us by suddenly putting the question,"Do the pale- faces trade fire- water?"
21718One morning Lumley said to me,"I''m off to North River; will you come?"
21718Perhaps Monsieur will take a little more hot tea?"
21718Perhaps, if you are a critical reader, you may ask,"But how came_ you_ to know how the old gentleman received the letter?"
21718Reader, shall we visit the dear old man in his dingy little house in old England while he peruses the foregoing letter?
21718Regarding it with much complacency he said, slowly:--"An''do n''t you think, Tonald, that I could use my fist too?"
21718Shall I dwell on the triple wedding?
21718Snow not too soft, I hope?
21718Surely you wo n''t refuse so small a favour?
21718Thank''ee, where do you get it?
21718The Big Otter flew up into the air, and then-- forgot--""Forgot what?"
21718The Indians wo n''t be here for many weeks, and when they do come what good can I get from or do to them?
21718The invitation is so irresistible to Donald that he half involuntarily exclaims,"Wow, man, Shames-- what is''t?"
21718Then I said,--"The thoughts of Big Otter are deep, what do they lead to?"
21718Then you knew him?"
21718Then, you know, Big Otter--""Aye, what of him?"
21718This gambling was of the simplest kind, consisting of the method which is known by the name of"odd or even?"
21718Was He good to Waboose when He left her fatherless and motherless?"
21718Was he heartless, or was his heart a stone?
21718Was it not fortunate?
21718Well, I''m glad she''s fit for even that small amount of civilised labour; but you have not told me yet when I shall see her?"
21718Well, and how did they get on?
21718What cheer?
21718What does he mean by breaking news?
21718What have you got to say about the future?"
21718What is it?
21718What makes you grin so, you backwoods koonisquat?"
21718What say you to hiring Waboose?"
21718What say you, Henri Coppet; could not a few trees and some planks be easily fitted to these rocks?"
21718What say you?"
21718What were you dreaming of?"
21718What will you do?
21718What''s all this?"
21718What''s that Shames?"
21718When people have got something to hear, why should they not hear it at once?"
21718Where d''ye hail from?
21718Who has not heard of mosquitoes?
21718Why did he run away with the daughter of Weeum the Good?"
21718Why did n''t you` consult''me, then?
21718Why do n''t you introduce yourself and welcome me?
21718Why do you ask?
21718Why has He done so?
21718Why not?"
21718Why should he have another?
21718Why, Spooner, what are you making such faces for?"
21718Will you tell us, Big Otter, how you managed to make these fellows so grateful?"
21718Will your friends dismount?"
21718You have a clasp- knife in your pocket; make me a present of it, will you?
21718You said it was going to be short did n''t you?"
21718You tell me that you have gold?"
21718almost shouted Lumley,"do you play the accordion?
21718and forsake Waboose?"
21718back already?"
21718but who shall describe_ how_ she went?
21718eh?"
21718he retorted,"why do n''t you look out for stumps and twigs as I do?"
21718interrogatively, in a tone that implied"what then?"
21718said Big Otter, deferentially,"that Attick plans mischief against the pale- faces of Wichikagan?"
21718said I, on recovering a little,"What has happened?"
21718wh- why-- what do you glare like_ that_ for?"
21718what cheer?
21718what cheer?"
21718where was water to come from?
21718who ever heard of a`_ Miss_ Macnab''in the backwoods?
21718why, why,"she cried, suddenly dropping the miniature,"why do you mock me with this?
21718without money?"
32090''Member the time he made a cake when we were camping with grandpa on Star Island?
32090A lame boy?
32090All alone?
32090All melt away?
32090And Trouble, too?
32090And did you afterward come to this house and ring the bell?
32090And even on a make- believe one?
32090And is our horse and cow all right?
32090And now ca n''t we get Nicknack?
32090And shall we get snowed in?
32090And so you think overshoes would be the thing?
32090And we''d like some snow- cream, too, if you please,said Jan."Could we make some, Aunt Sallie?"
32090And who is he?
32090And who is it from?
32090And will we be snowed in?
32090And will you see if Nicknack is all right when you get out to the barn?
32090Are n''t we going to have any company over Thanksgiving?
32090Are n''t we going to make a roof?
32090Are we going out to your ranch?
32090Are we really snowed in?
32090Are we snowed in?
32090Are you cold, too, Uncle Frank?
32090Are you down there, Son?
32090Are you going to bring him out to the ranch when you come to see me?
32090Are you going to get one?
32090Are you hungry yet?
32090Are you hurt?
32090Are you looking for someone?
32090Are you ready, Trouble?
32090Are you sure he is n''t there?
32090Are you sure the lame boy took the pocketbook and the money?
32090Are you sure you do n''t want this?
32090Are you sure?
32090Bring your goat into the house?
32090But how can we get him?
32090But how did he get there?
32090But how''re we going to have more fun, Jan?
32090But it''ll be a big snowstorm, wo n''t it?
32090But shall we really be snowed in, Mother?
32090But we will have enough to eat even if we are snowed in, wo n''t we?
32090But what if we get_ really_ hungry?
32090But what made him jump into the snow house and break the ice window?
32090But what makes it so dark?
32090But what will you do with the snow you dig out of the tunnel?
32090But when are we going to build the big snow house?
32090But where could we get any thin enough for windows for our snow house?
32090But where is he?
32090But who is it-- who''s come to see us so late at night?
32090But will you let me go out and see Nicknack as soon as you dig to his stable?
32090But wo n''t he die?
32090Ca n''t I be out, Mother?
32090Ca n''t we go into the tunnel?
32090Ca n''t you make a place so the children can watch you?
32090Can he always live with us?
32090Can those hermits really tell when there''s going to be a big storm with lots of snow?
32090Could n''t I help?
32090Could n''t he have some bread and jam with it, Mother?
32090Could n''t we make one?
32090Could n''t you bring him into the house?
32090Could n''t you get to the barn, Dick?
32090Course_ you_ tell us nice stories, Mother, and so does_ Daddy_, but ca n''t Uncle Frank tell us just_ one_?
32090Did any of you touch it?
32090Did it come, Nora?
32090Did n''t you wait?
32090Did n''t you, Nicknack?
32090Did you and Uncle Frank dig a path out to the barn?
32090Did you clean your teeth-- each of you-- and comb your hair?
32090Did you ever climb a mountain?
32090Did you ever see a hermit, Ted?
32090Did you find Nicknack?
32090Did you find him?
32090Did you find him?
32090Did you find him?
32090Did you get to the barn?
32090Did you have a good time?
32090Did you hear any more from Grandpa Martin?
32090Did you hear anything more about the lame boy and the missing pocketbook and money?
32090Did you know they were coming, Mother?
32090Did you leave him any hay and water?
32090Did you look to see if any boards were loose on the sides of the stable, Uncle Frank?
32090Did you once come to my store?
32090Did you really bring him in and put him to sleep in Jan''s bed?
32090Did you see our goat?
32090Did you teach him that trick, Curlytop?
32090Did you tunnel your way to the barn?
32090Dis mornin''?
32090Do they suit you, Jan?
32090Do what?
32090Do you know any short ones?
32090Do you like it, Trouble?
32090Do you like it?
32090Do you mean that the snow will come up over the top of the house so we ca n''t go out?
32090Do you mean the plaster like the kind I had on when I was sick?
32090Do you s''pose we''ll be snowed in?
32090Do you think it will snow for Thanksgiving?
32090Does a hermit like snowstorms, Teddy?
32090Does it look as if it would snow?
32090Gone?
32090Has n''t he been out with you since about an hour ago, and did n''t he come in with you just now?
32090Have n''t we got any milk?
32090Have n''t we had fun enough?
32090Have we any of the roast turkey left from Thanksgiving?
32090Have you found Nicknack?
32090Have you got an appetite?
32090Have you hid it yet?
32090Have you played with all your games?
32090He did?
32090He did?
32090He was n''t?
32090Honest and truly?
32090How could we make him stop slipping?
32090How did you come to get into it?
32090How did you come to go into the bungalow?
32090How do you suppose Nicknack got to the bungalow?
32090How would hide the bean bag be?
32090How''re we going to do it?
32090How''s that?
32090How''s the ice?
32090How?
32090How?
32090How?
32090How?
32090How?
32090I mean a story that would n''t keep them up too late, and then keep them awake after they get to bed?
32090I mean will he have enough to eat? 32090 I wonder who he was, and if he is in sight now?"
32090I''m glad we gave him our bread and jam; are n''t you?
32090If it comes up over the top of the house we ca n''t ever get out till it melts,went on Jan."Will it happen that way, Mother?
32090In the closet?
32090In what will you carry the snow out of the tunnel?
32090Is Nicknack in a drift?
32090Is grandpa or grandma coming to see us this year?
32090Is he all right?
32090Is he comin''with us?
32090Is he coming here to spend Christmas, or are we going there just as you said we might?
32090Is he in there?
32090Is it Uncle Frank from out West where the cowboys and Indians live?
32090Is it a man in my bed?
32090Is it from grandpa?
32090Is it going to be a surprise?
32090Is it like your out- West blizzards, Uncle Frank?
32090Is it snowing yet?
32090Is it snowing yet?
32090Is n''t he there?
32090Is n''t it finished yet?
32090Is this the surprise daddy was talking about?
32090Just like that hermit grandpa wrote about said we''d be?
32090Just take hold of my nose, will you, my dear?
32090Like ice- cream?
32090Make a snow house? 32090 May we, Mother?"
32090Mother, are there any old rubbers in the house?
32090Mother, may Ted and I stay up and listen-- a little bit?
32090No? 32090 Not even with our new rubber boots?"
32090Not if he was a-- a burglar?
32090Not real?
32090Now where''s that curly hair?
32090Oh, I wonder if it could be_ them_?
32090Oh, Mother, wo n''t it?
32090Oh, a real tunnel, like railroad trains go through?
32090Oh, are n''t we going to build another ever?
32090Oh, ca n''t I come?
32090Oh, can we?
32090Oh, is it Thanksgiving?
32090Oh, is it? 32090 Oh, may I have a high pair?"
32090Oh, what about Nicknack?
32090Oh, what will happen to him?
32090Oh, what''s it about?
32090Oh, where can he be?
32090Oh, where is he? 32090 Oh, would n''t it be fun if we were out in it now?"
32090Oh, you mean have a race?
32090Old rubbers? 32090 Please, Mother, could n''t Jan and I go out, just for a little while?"
32090Really lost?
32090Really?
32090Say, Mother, do n''t folks get hungry when they''re on a ship?
32090Shall I call the police?
32090Shall I give him the cookie now?
32090Shall I leave it here and make the snow man right in this place?
32090Shall we make a bigger one, Ted-- big enough for Nicknack to get in without breaking the walls?
32090Snow- cream?
32090Snowed in, is it?
32090So you have got a real snowstorm here at last, have you?
32090Something for us to play?
32090Something on his neck?
32090The flakes are getting smaller; do n''t you think so, Jan?
32090Then it''ll last and be a big storm, wo n''t it, Mother?
32090Then you have never found the lost money?
32090There is butter on the bread, under that jam, is n''t there?
32090To- morrow we''ll make some rubbers for our goat, Jan."Do you think he''ll let us put''em on?
32090To- night?
32090Want to help?
32090Was the door fastened?
32090Was there much money in it?
32090We ca n''t build a fire, can we?
32090We got big rubber boots, and we can go in deep drifts,explained Jan."Did you?
32090Well, Curlytops, did you come to buy out the store?
32090Well, Teddy, why do n''t you go along and play the game I told you about?
32090Well, Trouble, is the snow man all right?
32090Well, Trouble, what are you going to do to- day?
32090Well, could n''t I live with you-- wherever you live?
32090Well, did you have a nice time?
32090Well, how in the world did you get down there?
32090Well, how in the world did you get here at this time of night?
32090Well, shall we build the house over again?
32090Well, we had lots of fun being snowed in, did n''t we?
32090Well, what are you going to do?
32090Well, who got the cane, anyhow?
32090Well, who told me to get it?
32090Were n''t you scared?
32090Were you bad in class?
32090Were you ever snowed in?
32090Were you in a war?
32090Were you there all the while?
32090Wet? 32090 What about?"
32090What are you doing?
32090What can we do to have some fun?
32090What did he want?
32090What did you call him?
32090What did you see move?
32090What do you mean?
32090What do you think, Aunt Jo?
32090What do you want for eyes?
32090What does frost- bitten mean?
32090What does he mean about a hermit?
32090What does he mean?
32090What does it say?
32090What for, Daddy?
32090What for?
32090What for?
32090What good will that do?

32090What is it?
32090What is it?
32090What is it?
32090What is it?
32090What is the matter, Curlytop?
32090What kind, Curlytop?
32090What made him go out?
32090What made you do it, Trouble?
32090What made you think of that?
32090What move?
32090What was it?
32090What would you like it to be about?
32090What you dressed for at night, Mother?
32090What you mean?
32090What''ll I do?
32090What''s a bungalow?
32090What''s he doing now? 32090 What''s he doing?"

32090What''s that?
32090What''s that?
32090What''s the matter, Curlytop?
32090What''s the matter, Dick?
32090What''s the matter, Trouble?
32090What''s the matter?

32090What''s the matter?
32090What''s the matter?
32090What''s the matter?
32090What''s the matter?
32090What''s the story going to be about?
32090What?

32090Where''s he gone?
32090Where''s his legs goin''to be?

32090Who did it?
32090Who is it?
32090Who took you away from the Home?
32090Who''s he going to buck?
32090Who, Mother? 32090 Why ca n''t we go out?"
32090Why did n''t you wait to see me?
32090Why did n''t you want to wait, Ted?
32090Why did you call me?
32090Why do n''t you build a snow bungalow?
32090Why do n''t you get him a pair of skates?
32090Why do you ask?
32090Why does n''t he stand up?
32090Why not make a snow house?
32090Why not?
32090Why not?
32090Why wo n''t it be a big storm, Mother?
32090Why wo n''t it?
32090Why?
32090Why?
32090Will he bite us?
32090Will we go coasting or skating?
32090Will you have to stay in, Teddy?
32090Wo n''t he smother?
32090Would I like that? 32090 Would n''t this be a dandy place to play?"
32090Would n''t we freeze?
32090Would you like to be?
32090Would you-- would you like some of_ this_?
32090You ca n''t see him?
32090You did?
32090Are n''t you, Trouble?"
32090Are you hurt Jan?"
32090Are you sure he did n''t go out to you?"
32090Are you there?
32090But I''d like to, would n''t you?"
32090But where''ll we get the red flannel?"
32090But why do n''t you hitch up your goat and make him pull you on the ice?"
32090But you do n''t want too big a storm, do you?"
32090CHAPTER VIII THE LAME BOY"Oh, what is it?
32090CHAPTER XI THE SNOW BUNGALOW"Who''s that?"
32090CHAPTER XII TROUBLE IS LOST"What sort of house are you going to build, Uncle Frank?"
32090Can you breathe all right?"
32090Could n''t we have something real to eat on the make- believe steamboat, Mother?"
32090Did he answer you?"
32090Did he say anything to you?"
32090Did n''t he say?"
32090Did this boy limp much?"
32090Did you shut the hall door, Dick?"
32090Did you?"
32090Do n''t you know?
32090Do n''t you want to race with us?
32090Do n''t you, Curlytops?"
32090Guess I''d better wear my rubber boots; had n''t I, Mother?"
32090Has it, Mother?"
32090How would you like to play steamboat and travel to different countries?"
32090I like that; do n''t you?"
32090I never was snowed in; were you?"
32090Is it awful good?"
32090It''s quite a storm, is n''t it?"
32090Maybe you''d like some?"
32090My handkerchief wet?"
32090Now where are the children with such curly hair?
32090Oh, we''ll have fun, wo n''t we, Jan?"
32090Oh, where can he be?"
32090Oh, where could he have gone?"
32090Say, can you get me out?
32090Ted and Janet were quiet for a little while, and then Janet called in a loud whisper:"Teddy, when you''re a hermit will you have to eat?"
32090Then she asked eagerly:"Did you?"
32090Trouble was now petting the goat and asking:"Where you been, Nicknack?
32090Want to come with me, Uncle Frank?"
32090What are you going to do with your goat?"
32090What do you want of them?"
32090What is it?"
32090What made you put the snow man in Jan''s bed?"
32090What will you do next?
32090What will you try next, Teddy?"
32090When can we dig out to our bungalow?"
32090Where are you going now?"
32090Where are you?
32090Where is he now?"
32090Where is the bean bag, dear?"
32090Where you been all dis while?"
32090Where''s Dick?"
32090Where''s Teddy?"
32090Where''s my little Curlytop girl, and where''s that dear bunch of Trouble?"
32090Who do you think it is?"
32090Why did you think I was-- because I have a wooden leg?"
32090Would n''t it be fun?"
32090You never found out who he was, did you?"
32090asked Jan."It''s from Cherry Farm, is n''t it, Mother?
32090chimed in Jan."Is n''t there_ anything_ we can do?"
32090cried Jan."What made you jump in on us like that?"
32090cried Jan."Will you help me skate, Ted?
32090exclaimed Jan. CHAPTER XVII IN A BIG DRIFT"What are you men going to do now?"
32090gasped Jan."How did he get there?"
32090has he, really?"
32090is Trouble lost?"
32090what is it?"
32090what_ are_ you doing?"
14546''Ida Bellethorne''?
14546A dog barks, does n''t it? 14546 A wolf?"
14546And ca n''t you see? 14546 And did this make Ida go away?"
14546And oo''s to take care of Ida Bellethorne, I ask you?
14546And then?
14546And we all going to Mountain Camp to- morrow if Mrs. Canary telegraphs''Yes,''Hunted everywhere, I suppose?
14546And why should you?
14546Are either of you young ladies prepared to buy this blue blouse?
14546Are you all right, Betty dear?
14546Are you aware of what you have done?
14546Are you fooling us, Bob?
14546Are you here all alone?
14546Are you killed, Betty?
14546Are you sure this is the bottle the child drank out of?
14546Before Ida Bellethorne was born, do you mean?
14546Before it began to snow?
14546Bob?
14546But are you sure, Betty, that we can go to the mountains? 14546 But how did it come there?"
14546But it is a dear-- and its master must be somewhere about, do n''t you think, Uncle Dick?
14546But we''ll get to this place we''re going to by morning, sha n''t we?
14546But you did n''t come over from England all alone?
14546Ca n''t we do it, Uncle Dick? 14546 Ca n''t we get him into his bed?"
14546Can I get to New York by that time? 14546 Can the mare travel on this hard snow?"
14546Can we get him up the bank?
14546Carried it loose in your bag, did you?
14546Could n''t be that she found the locket and ran off with it?
14546Did n''t you come to Cliffdale to look for your aunt?
14546Did she return before this blizzard set in, or is she still up here in the woods? 14546 Did you see something in the paper that frightened you, Ida?"
14546Do n''t you mean for a girl?
14546Do n''t you mean it comes out with a bang?
14546Do n''t you remember where you had it last?
14546Do n''t you wear it at all? 14546 Do you know?"
14546Do you suppose that girl got there?
14546Do you suppose you could get us over to your house to- night?
14546Do you think I am deaf?
14546Do you think so?
14546Do you think there is any chance of our finding it?
14546Er-- what else? 14546 For what?"
14546Girl or horse?
14546Go ahead and do what?
14546Have we got to change? 14546 Have you been waiting long?"
14546He wo n''t punish you for losing it, will he?
14546Hi, now,''ow''s that for a pretty lydy, Miss?
14546How about calories and dietetics, and all that?
14546How about skating?
14546How about walking back?
14546How are we going to do it? 14546 How could we wade through such deep snow?"
14546How did you expect to find your aunt,he asked,"when you first landed in New York?"
14546How do you stand it?
14546How shall we live?
14546How''s that for a fine phrase, Louise? 14546 How-- how did you come up here?
14546I ca n''t cry over it, can I? 14546 I do n''t intend to take another such slide----""Not even if your Uncle Dick takes you up to Mountain Camp?"
14546I looked out the window and it is all like fairyland-- isn''t it, Timothy?
14546I suppose the pretty mare is worth a lot of money?
14546I suppose you think a barber''s pole is speckled, Libbie?
14546I want to ask you-- I wanted to ask Ida Bellethorne if she saw me drop anything here in the store yesterday?
14546I wonder where she is, Bobby?
14546In a sleigh?
14546Is it a dog?
14546Is it dust in her poor nose?
14546Is it positive that we can not ride or walk?
14546Is n''t that odd? 14546 Is n''t that what they cry at political meetings?
14546Is n''t the girl who made it here?
14546Is n''t this wonderful?
14546Is that all you''ve got to say about it?
14546Is that the black mare, Slattery?
14546Is that the law in this country? 14546 Is that your name?
14546Is this it?
14546It is like the fruits of Tantalus, is n''t it? 14546 Knows me?
14546May I be excused? 14546 Meaning the mare, of course?"
14546Measles?
14546Mr. Bolter''s mare?
14546Mr. Canary-- Uncle Dick''s friend is named Jonathan Canary, is n''t that a funny name?
14546Mr. Gordon, sir? 14546 Named for a lady?"
14546No?
14546Not even measles?
14546Not your locket?
14546Now how do you feel, young folks? 14546 Now will you be good?"
14546Now, what do you think of that?
14546Of course, we''ll pick up another diner?
14546Oh, do you suppose,cried Libbie, big- eyed,"that we may be snowbound at Mountain Camp so that we can not get back until spring?"
14546Oh, indeed? 14546 One what?"
14546Our folks have said we could-- haven''t they, Tom?
14546Quite a philosopheress, are n''t you?
14546Really?
14546Say,he drawled,"who did you say this aunt of Ida Bellethorne is?"
14546She did? 14546 She''s a beauty, is n''t she, my dear?"
14546Shopping where? 14546 Some slide, eh, Bob?"
14546Suppose we get stalled?
14546Sure?
14546That''s a fine sound-- wot?
14546Then do you suppose she has your locket?
14546Then the idea of going on to Mountain Camp by sledge suits you, does it, young lady?
14546Then you are quite sure it was not stolen?
14546Then you-- you found out? 14546 There are a good many of us----""How many in the party?"
14546Three and a half hours to dinner time?
14546Time for what?
14546To the Candace Farm?
14546Walk twenty miles downhill on ice?
14546Was n''t it a hard task to get here?
14546Was n''t that some slide?
14546Well, now what''s the matter?
14546Well, suppose we do?
14546Well, we''d better take this girl along with us, had n''t we, Mr. Gordon? 14546 What became of her?"
14546What ca n''t you have but once?
14546What can I show you?
14546What did he want to go to sleep for, spraddled all over the aisle?
14546What did he want to label his Aunty Waite for?
14546What do you mean, Betty?
14546What do you mean, Bob?
14546What do you mean, Uncle Dick?
14546What do you mean, throwing slurs at women?
14546What do you mean, young man, by pouring a bucket of slush over my head and shoulders?
14546What do you mean?
14546What do you mean?
14546What do you say to a race on skates?
14546What do you think, Betty? 14546 What does she mean?"
14546What for? 14546 What has happened to her?"
14546What has happened to that poor man? 14546 What have you been up to now, Betsey?
14546What horse?
14546What horse?
14546What is he going to do with that snowball?
14546What is it? 14546 What is it?"
14546What is it?
14546What is that you are going to love?
14546What is that?
14546What is the matter with that boy? 14546 What is the matter, dear?"
14546What is the matter?
14546What is the poison?
14546What is this I hear?
14546What sort of creature is that? 14546 What under the sun do you mean, Betty?"
14546What''s the matter with that bell, Ida?
14546What''s this?
14546Where did you get this?
14546Where in the world can that soldiers''monument be?
14546Where is it, Betty?
14546Where now? 14546 Where shall I begin?"
14546Where who is?
14546Where''s a doctor?
14546Where''s she gone?
14546Which Ida Bellethorne do you mean?
14546Who are you going to ask-- the horse?
14546Who do you think it is?
14546Who has the measles?
14546Who is that; my dear?
14546Who is too expensive, Libbie?
14546Who would ever have expected to find you here?
14546Who''s her aunt?
14546Who''s squealing?
14546Who? 14546 Why did n''t we think of that?
14546Why did n''t you look where you were walking?
14546Why did n''t you stop''em?
14546Why not''round''meals? 14546 Why not?
14546Why not?
14546Why, did n''t you hear? 14546 Why-- er-- you know, it really is none of our business, is it?"
14546Will it, Bob?
14546Will you go to that lovely Mountain Camp all alo- o- one?
14546Will you, Bob?
14546Wo n''t that be fun?
14546Wo n''t they dig us out?
14546You approve, Uncle Dick?
14546You are the young lady who was to purchase the blue blouse when it was finished?
14546You had friends here in Georgetown?
14546You will have to start early in the morning, wo n''t she, Uncle Dick?
14546You?
14546''Hunches Slattery''?"
14546A Washington girl, you say?"
14546Ai n''t I saw you before, Miss?"
14546All right?
14546And I do n''t believe Mrs. Eustice will object to a simple little locket like mine, will she?"
14546And even if I was a minor, would n''t that be a legal transfer paper?"
14546And if Bob could overcome difficulties, why could n''t Betty?
14546And in all this snow?
14546And what will become of her?"
14546And who are you, I''d like to know, a greenhorn fresh from the old country, trying to tell me what''s honest and what ai n''t?
14546And you say she is making another?"
14546And you''ve been riding her?"
14546And you, too, Louise-- and Esther?
14546Are n''t you allowed to wear it?"
14546Are n''t you ashamed of yourself?"
14546Are n''t you tired, Bobby?"
14546Are we all sure of going?
14546Are you afraid of losing it again?"
14546Are you all ready, Bobby?
14546Are you hurt, Bob?"
14546Betty?"
14546Bolter''s?"
14546But Betty had jumped up to look and she said eagerly:"Do you mean the man with the silk handkerchief over his head?
14546But Betty, how''d we steer it?"
14546But can you go back with me, Doctor?"
14546But do n''t tell him so, for it utterly spoils boys if you praise them-- doesn''t it Bobby?"
14546But where?
14546But who is there to care anything about poor Ida?"
14546But, you see, Mr.--er--?"
14546CHAPTER XXIII CAN IT BE DONE?
14546Ca n''t he see it through the window?"
14546Can I show you anything else?"
14546Can there be two such awkward Tuckers?"
14546Can you girls lift him?"
14546Can you jump a fence, Betty?"
14546Canary?"
14546Canary?"
14546Could Betty suggest such a matter when already Ida was in so much trouble?
14546Could n''t you sell her anything else out of the shop?"
14546Did she run away with you?
14546Did you notice him?"
14546Do n''t you see it, Uncle Dick?"
14546Do you carry it in your bag?"
14546Do you know we''re snowbound, girls?"
14546Do you know what is in the wind, Carter?"
14546Do you suppose we will catch up with that dining car?"
14546Do you want me to be eaten up?"
14546Does it sound good?"
14546Finding and keeping your locket?"
14546Go where, Betty?"
14546He asked:"What do you believe we can do, Betty?"
14546Hear it?"
14546How comes you are named after that horse, girl?"
14546How did they get away?"
14546How do people ever live here, even in the summer?
14546How''s that for a joke?"
14546However, in whatever pocket you put that money as you got it, the hole was figuratively burned, was n''t it?"
14546I advised her to write to her aunt----""Then she has an aunt over here?"
14546I hope the price is not too much?"
14546I only thought----""That I might have picked it up and said nothing about it?"
14546If Bill do n''t come back soon----""Is n''t there any man on the place?"
14546If she came up here on a wild goose chase after her aunt, and found only a horse, what will become of her?"
14546Is he hurt much, Bob?"
14546Is n''t it, Betty?"
14546Is n''t she all alone in this country?"
14546Is n''t that so?"
14546Is n''t that sweet?"
14546Is n''t there a doctor, anywhere?
14546Is that so?"
14546Is this that English mare?
14546Is this your father, Tucker?"
14546It did fall out of your bag in the shop, did n''t it, Betty?"
14546Libbie?"
14546Major Pater, you will realize that the boy in coming along the aisle-- Er, by the way, Tommy, what were you coming for?"
14546No bones broken?"
14546Of course, if Ida had found anything she would have told you?"
14546Of course, it is n''t skating?
14546Or a party?
14546Recite that for us, will you?
14546Remember how he let us roam and explore in Oklahoma?"
14546Remember how she got after Ada Nansen and Ruth Gladys Royal for wearing so much junk?"
14546Remember that bunch we saw in Oklahoma, Betty, that was being driven to the shipping station?
14546See who it is, Ted?"
14546Sha''n''t we, Betty?"
14546Shall she ask for you?"
14546She did n''t?
14546Staples give it to you?
14546Staples''shop?"
14546Staples''shop?)
14546Staples?"
14546Suppose we go into the smoking compartment and soothe our minds, Major?"
14546Suppose we should be snowbound?"
14546Thank you, Mr.--er----?"
14546That''s the----""Ida Bellethorne?"
14546The gloomy woman looking over the back of the seat drawled:"Then it was n''t poison at all?"
14546The money my lawyer sent you for your own use just burned holes in your pinafore pockets, did n''t it?"
14546They were never separated at Shadyside, so why should they be here?
14546To Cliffdale?
14546To Stone''s shoe shop?
14546Tucker of the Fourth, is n''t it?"
14546Uncle Dick is sure to take us, Betty, is n''t he?"
14546Understand?
14546Understand?"
14546Want to get your death of cold?"
14546Well, what do you know about this notice in the paper?"
14546What are you going to do with that snow, Tommy?"
14546What did you forget?"
14546What do you know about that?"
14546What do you say, Uncle Dick?"
14546What do you think, Betty?"
14546What else could I do?"
14546What else?"
14546What else?"
14546What is it Bobby calls''em?
14546What is it-- the movies?
14546What say?"
14546What shall we ever do if the snow does n''t melt pretty soon, or they do n''t come and dig us out?"
14546What should she do?
14546What was a little snow which scarcely, at first, caught upon the brown fields?
14546What will draw it?
14546What would she and Timothy say to this?"
14546What you been doing to Bill Kedders''chattels, girl?"
14546What''s broke loose now?"
14546What''s that on the floor?
14546What''s the use?"
14546What''s this coming?"
14546When did you see it last?
14546When was the last time you saw the locket in the bag and where?"
14546Where did you carry it?
14546Where does Dr. Pevy live?"
14546Where is the span of noble steeds to be found?
14546Who ever heard the like?"
14546Who would take it?
14546Why-- What makes you look so queer?"
14546Will it cure such a bad attack of poetry?"
14546Will she come back?"
14546Will you please excuse me?"
14546Will you please pass me another muffin?"
14546You all right?"
14546You mean she is fixed to travel on ice on frozen ground?"
14546You thought you heard of your Aunt Ida up here, in the mountains?"
14546ca n''t you smell?"
14546cried Betty, breaking in suddenly,"do you know a little man, a crooked little man, named Hunchie Slattery?"
14546cried Betty, who seemed to have thought of every chance that might arise,"suppose Ida''s aunt wants to take her along to Brazil?
14546did you ever see anything so glorious?"
14546do you hear that silly girl?"
14546do you suppose we can ever again have so much excitement crowded into a few hours?"
14546gasped Bobby,"dare we poke through that hole?
14546gasped Louise,"what''s the matter?"
14546giggled Betty,"what would she say to you if she heard you use such an expression?
14546he exclaimed,"Does it seem reasonable?
14546if I do n''t get there what shall I do?"
14546if we ca n''t go----""If who ca n''t go?"
14546is there a doctor in this coach?
14546look what this is, will you?"
14546said Bobby scornfully,"what kind of underwear should you advise our getting for our noses, Bob Henderson?"
14546she cried when he stepped into the car,"are you really and truly getting ready to go north again?"
14546she exclaimed,"you are English, are n''t you?
14546stammered Betty,"did you find it?"
14546suppose there should be a pack of wolves in these hills and that they should attack this train?"
14546what can I eat in a shake?"
14546what is going to happen to this poor fellow?
14546what is the matter, Betty?"
14546what shall I do?
14546what shall I do?"
14546what''s going to become of Tommy?"
14546what''s the matter with Ida?
14546whispered Bobby Littell,"is she Ida Bellethorne?"
14546would n''t it be great if Uncle Dick did take us?"
41603''An''is there annythin''I can du for ye, to- day, King Michael?'' 41603 ''And what wud ye loike for a prisint, Eily?''
41603A shtory for the hidache?
41603A story, hey?
41603Almonds?
41603Am I not well worth looking at? 41603 And have they stars on their noses?
41603And how have you been in the habit of playing?
41603And so you chose this time for the wedding?
41603And what do they live on?
41603And what else did you do in the way of amusement?
41603And what is this tall black stuff that grows so thick all over it? 41603 And what is to be done with them?"
41603And where have ye been at all? 41603 And_ what_, if I may be so bold as to ask,"said Coon,"_ is_ a comet?"
41603Are their coats of black velvet?
41603Are ye_ quite_ sure that this is what you wish for most, Eileen? 41603 Are you not well, my dear Coon?"
41603BRUIN, what do you think? 41603 Bewitched?
41603But how am I to live, pray? 41603 But how came he to go to China?"
41603But tell me, knowest thou how it will fare with the Putter- on- of- Slippers? 41603 But then, if any of us were to lose our heads, we should be dead, should n''t we?"
41603But what for?
41603But where were the bees all the time?
41603But-- but,cried Mrs. O''Shaughnessy, utterly bewildered by her husband''s wild talk, and by the sight of the jewels,"what does it all mane?
41603Ca n''t you give us a little more of this precious information?
41603Change them, eh?
41603Come along, will you, Coon?
41603Coon,said Toto,"come and sleep on my bed, wo n''t you?
41603Could n''t you manage it, somehow?
41603Cracker, my boy,he said,"I do n''t quite like all this, do you know?
41603Dear Madam, do I_ ever_ mean anything,--anything unkind, at least?
41603Diamonds and pearls?
41603Did I?
41603Did he?
41603Did it?
41603Dig for roots?
41603Diminted?
41603Div ye see that?
41603Do it, now?
41603Do n''t you remember, Coon? 41603 Do n''t you think we might dry ourselves before that fire before we go down?"
41603Do you ever change your name, sir?
41603Do you ever put frogs in your broth?
41603Do you hear me, Coon? 41603 Do you remember that day, when a thunder- shower came up, and you crept into that hollow tree for shelter?
41603Do you remember the famous one we had in the autumn, a little while before we came here?
41603Do you think we can get through the crack?
41603Does n''t thee know me well enough?
41603Does not my father wear out two pairs of scrubbing- shoes in a month--"Scrubbing- shoes, Granny?
41603Eh? 41603 Fine old bird he must have been, eh?"
41603Full- up?
41603Good Toto, kind Toto, is he gone? 41603 Has our account of the wedding made you pine with envy, and wish yourself a mouse?"
41603Have they four legs?
41603Have you anything to say?
41603Have you ever had a calf taken to the moon? 41603 He''s so agrayable, ai n''t he, now?"
41603He?
41603How about the bogghun, Miss Mary?
41603How goes it with you? 41603 How is that, Toto; pretty, eh?"
41603How so?
41603How was yer Honor maning?
41603How wud she shwally''em, an''have''em in her mouth all the toime? 41603 How?"
41603Howld yer prate, ca n''t ye, an''the docthor waitin''? 41603 I did n''t mean to interrupt, but what_ are_ scrubbing- shoes?"
41603I do n''t see anything for it_ but_ to wring your neck, do you? 41603 I mean_ why_ are you travelling at all?"
41603I-- I-- I sum- summon thee, most Golden and Holy Dragon?
41603Is he gone?
41603Is it possible? 41603 Is it yersilf, Eily?"
41603Is it-- are they-- like other calves?
41603Is your leg better, to- day?
41603It was you, was it?
41603Knowest thou not that the penalty is four hundred lashes? 41603 Made out of your grandfather''s tail, did you say, Toto?"
41603May n''t we try it some day, Granny? 41603 Mean anything?"
41603Mrs. Speckle, Mrs. Spanish, Dame Clucket, where are you all? 41603 My son,"he said,"what is man''s life but a string of beads, which at one time or another must be broken?
41603Not if you sucked your paw?
41603Nothing serious, I trust?
41603Now, then, where are those greens?
41603Phwhat was that I h''ard the other day about the looky bargain yer father-- honest man!--made wid the one- eyed peddler from beyant Inniskeen?
41603Phwhat''s the matther, woman?
41603Pretty wedding, eh, Toto?
41603Shall we go home now, Scrabble?
41603Shall we go in, or send the crow first, to announce us?
41603Showed_ us_ the way?
41603Spirimint?
41603That explains his choice of a wife.--Walk, Toto, did you say? 41603 The cave, eh?"
41603Then why must n''t you speak to me?
41603Toto, dear,said his grandmother,"do you think our Bruin is really_ gone_, without saying a word of farewell to us?"
41603Was it you?
41603Water? 41603 We''ll be missin''the docthor this day, ma''m, wo n''t we?"
41603Well, Coon,said Bruin, in his deep bass voice,"what have you been doing all the afternoon?
41603Well, Eily,he said,"is it back so soon ye are?
41603Well, Eily,said the Green Man,"I suppose ye know who I am?"
41603Well, old fellow,said Toto,"you have done it now, have n''t you?
41603Well?
41603Were you ever so hungry as that, Bruin?
41603What IS the reason? 41603 What ails you, old fellow?"
41603What are we to do this evening? 41603 What can be expected,"said the raccoon loftily,"from a creature who eats hay?
41603What do I think?
41603What do they wind?
41603What do ye mane by that, I''m askin''ye?
41603What do you mean by looking at me in that way?
41603What do you mean?
41603What do you say, Bruin?
41603What else could she be? 41603 What has happened?"
41603What is dragoons?
41603What is it all about? 41603 What is it at all, Docthor alanna?
41603What is it, Molly?
41603What is the matter that you look so down in the beak?
41603What is the matter?
41603What is this?
41603What means this, boy?
41603What nonsense is this?
41603What of it?
41603What seekest thou,asked the leader,"in the court of the Holy Dragon?"
41603What seekest thou,they asked,"in the court of the Holy Dragon?"
41603What trouble did your son have with Coon?
41603What words are these?
41603What''s the matter with them? 41603 What''s_ what_?"
41603What?
41603What_ does_ it all amount to? 41603 When?"
41603Who art thou, and what monstrous burden is this thou carriest so lightly?
41603Who is your master?
41603Who knows but that they may be related?
41603Who lives in that hollow tree, now?
41603Whole ones, you know, rolled in a batter, just like dumplings?
41603Why are you hurrying so? 41603 Why did n''t you give the alarm,"he asked,"or drive off the mice yourself?
41603Why did you chase my pigeon?
41603Why do you look and speak so strangely, Yow- Lay; and where is my father?
41603Why was that?
41603Why, Coon,queried Toto,"what''s the trouble?"
41603Why, Cracker, ca n''t you understand?
41603Why, do n''t you know?
41603Why, what''s the matter? 41603 Why, where_ is_ Bruin?"
41603Will Docthor O''Shaughnessy be King av Ireland? 41603 Will he_ never_ call me?"
41603Would you be so very good as to tell me what you are travelling for?
41603Yarn, or a chain- pump like the one in the yard, or what?
41603You found it so once, did n''t you, Toto?
41603You have a companion, then? 41603 You would n''t have the heart to do that; for then how could I look at you, the delight of my life?
41603Your son Prick- ear? 41603 _ Buttons!_"said Dennis Macarthy;"what do ye mane by buttons?
41603_ King_, is it? 41603 _ Moving?_"said little brown Scrabble, in a tone of horror.
41603Again the little comet hesitated and demurred; but after all, he had already broken one rule, and why not another?
41603Altogether, it was a very pleasant place for two little mice to play in; and as they had it all to themselves, why should they not play?
41603Am I not right, Coon?"
41603An''how wud she get thim to shwally, an''the Countess in Dublin these three weeks, an''her jew''ls wid her?
41603An''these bits o''trash dhrop out o''the choild''s mouth, ye till me, ivery toime she shpakes?"
41603And Eily?
41603And how did this melancholy change come about, pray?"
41603And how do ye like yer gift?"
41603And how long, may I ask, have you been travelling hither and thither through space, without knowing or caring why?"
41603And the gossoon''ll open the dure, and--"''Phwhat''s yer arrind?''
41603And what does it all amount to?"
41603And what have you two been doing, pray, since dinner?"
41603And what shall the story be about?"
41603And what should she wish for?
41603And wo n''t she die av''em, av it''s that manny in her stumick?"
41603And''ow did yer''Ighness leave yer pa and ma?"
41603Are all cows as stupid as that?"
41603Are any bones broken?"
41603Are we to have anything to eat?"
41603Are you afraid, you great clumsy monster?"
41603Are you too proud to speak to your old friends?"
41603As for your calf, why should you be better off than other people?
41603At length--"Miss Mary,"said the raccoon aloud,"what was the color of your lamented husband?
41603At the same moment the door of the grandmother''s room was opened hurriedly, and the old lady cried, in a trembling voice,"What has happened?
41603Be good enough to hand me those nuts, Toto, will you?
41603Besides,"he added,"have you forgotten how you frightened this very hermit when he stole your honey, last year?"
41603Better still?
41603Bossy, are you there?"
41603But now the Emperor waxed wroth, and he said:--"''Are our clothes to be changed, or do we stand here all day in wetness because of this dog?
41603But what_ are_ you thinking about that for, now?
41603But why do you ask?"
41603But you would not have done it, would you, Bruin?
41603But, hark?
41603But, tell me,"he added,"have you never thought of trying our way of passing the winter?
41603But-- what is that great black thing in front of the fire?"
41603Comet Master, eh?
41603Could it possibly be true?
41603Could n''t you dig for roots?"
41603Cracker, my dear, is it not your turn?"
41603D''ye hear me, now?"
41603Did he hear anything?
41603Did that one''s eyelids quiver; did his mouth twitch, as if he were waking from his sleep?
41603Do n''t you think so, Toto?"
41603Do ye think I''m obleeged to shpake the thruth ivery day in the week to an ignor''nt crathur like yersilf?
41603Do you see a track anywhere?
41603Do you think I can dig with that?"
41603Do you think he is dead, Crow?
41603Do you think-- would it be possible-- would you advise me to-- to-- in fact, to shave the hair off my face?"
41603Do you understand?"
41603Dost thou hear me?"
41603Eh, Bruin?"
41603Eh, what do you think?"
41603Eh?
41603Eh?
41603Eily was rather abashed at this, but the little man looked very kind; so she plucked up her courage, and when he asked,"What is yer name, my dear?"
41603Fixing her deep radiant eyes on them, she would reply with thrilling earnestness,"_ Has_ your grandmother sold her mangle yet?"
41603For we do love you; do n''t we, Bruin?"
41603Harshly on her reverie broke in the voice of Mrs. O''Shaughnessy, asking,--"And has yer father sold his pigs yit?"
41603Has the choild swallied''em?
41603Have you ever seen him like this before?"
41603Have you ever_ tried_ sucking your paw?"
41603Have you had a pleasant nap?"
41603Have you_ any_ proper food, at all?"
41603He has n''t been in our part of the wood again, has he?"
41603He stirred and tasted, shook his head, tasted again, and then said,--"You have n''t the top of a young pine- tree anywhere about the house, I suppose?
41603How are you all at home?"
41603How can she shpake buttons, I''m askin''ye?
41603How could she join in the sports and dances of the noble youths and maidens of the court?
41603How could you frighten us so?"
41603How does it happen that you are prowling about at this season?"
41603How does that go, old fellow?"
41603How does the poor old man get his food?"
41603How is anybody who sees you for the first time to know that you are the best and dearest old fellow in the world?
41603I do n''t mean that they moo_ low_, but''moo''_ is_''low,''do n''t you see?"
41603I mean, what do you think I heard at the party, last night?"
41603I suppose that is why the game is called back- gammon, hey?"
41603I suppose there is plenty of room in the forest for another family of mice?"
41603I_ must_, do you hear?"
41603If one made oneself_ very_ small, now?
41603If that thing is not alive, why did it jump off its seat just at the critical moment, and pour hot water over the robber''s legs?"
41603Is he a very shy boy?"
41603Is it a story evening, or dancing- school and games?"
41603Is it a witch has overlooked her, or what is it?
41603Is it true,"he added, turning to Toto,"that he has never left that place, that sty, since he was born?"
41603Is she kilt, or what''s the matther?"
41603Is that it?"
41603Is there no way ye cud cure her, an''lave her at home thin, Docthor?
41603It is n''t true, you know, but what of that?
41603It was a long- drawn sound, something between a snort, a squeal, and a snore; and it came from-- where_ did_ it come from?
41603It was quite dark, but his eye caught the faint glimmer of the boy''s white robe, and seizing his pike, he exclaimed,--"Who goes there?"
41603May I ask for what purpose you keep chickens, sir?"
41603May it please you to enter, worshipful sirs?"
41603My good Bruin, you will cover the fire, and lock up the house?"
41603Now do you understand?"
41603Now, I suppose they are relatives of yours, eh?"
41603Now, phwhat I want to know is, where did ye get thim?"
41603Phwhat ails the choild?"
41603Pick up the kettle, will you, Coon?
41603Putting your tail in curl- papers, eh?"
41603Shall the wise man disquiet himself whether more or fewer beads have passed over the hand?"
41603Shall we climb over it, or go round it?"
41603Shall we travel together?
41603Snowing fast outside, is is n''t it, Bruin?"
41603So he set the coal on the table, and said:--"Pretty little black and red bird, tell me, what shall I do?"
41603So, will you not tell us a story?
41603Some one was to be killed, then?
41603Surely he came in with you, Toto?"
41603Surely there is a smell of water?
41603That takes you out, does n''t it?"
41603The Master would cut you up into inch pieces if you asked him, and the Sun--""Well, what about the Sun?"
41603The first was,--"What is the price of butter?"
41603The goose that laid eggs of gold?
41603The invisible cloak?
41603The magic carpet?
41603The second,"Has your grandmother sold her mangle yet?"
41603There is nothing else to eat in the cupboard, is there?
41603There was a pause, in which the delinquent Cracker found nothing to say, and then his uncle added:--"And in what condition are your teeth, pray?
41603Toto, is my neck- tie straight?"
41603Waking suddenly from her nap, had she failed to see the girl, who had perhaps been sleeping, too?
41603Was it accident, or did the kettle by design give a plunge, and come down with a crash, sending a stream of boiling water over his legs?
41603Was it my fault that the mended leg was a hair- breadth shorter than the others?
41603Was that a movement of yon other man''s arm, as if he were stealthily preparing to rise, to spring upon the sacrilegious robber?
41603Was the breathing of the four priests changing a little,--growing deeper, growing louder?
41603Was this the result of the fairy''s gift?
41603We could n''t wake her if we tried, and why should we try?"
41603What are your ears for, if not for me to tickle?
41603What did Dr. O''Shaughnessy see?
41603What did he see?
41603What did he want?
41603What good does it do?
41603What happened?
41603What has happened?
41603What have I done?
41603What is it?
41603What is it?"
41603What more?"
41603What put such an idea into your head?"
41603What shall we do?"
41603Where are the Madam and Toto?
41603Where are you, Jim Crow?
41603Where did Toto get them, do you think?"
41603Where have ye been, I''m askin''ye?"
41603Where is it to take place?"
41603Who are you, I say?''
41603Who can tell?
41603Who ever heard of calves in the moon?
41603Who is hurt?
41603Who is this comes creeping, while honest men are sleeping?"
41603Who knocked down the kettle?
41603Who would light her father''s pipe, and sing him the little song he always liked to hear while he smoked it after supper?
41603Who wud do ye sich an ill turn as this, whin ye niver harmed annybody since the day ye were born?"
41603Whom did you play with, for example?"
41603Why are you rumpling and humping yourself up in that absurd fashion?"
41603Why did n''t you come too, Miss Mary?
41603Why did n''t you want Madam to know?"
41603Why do n''t they tell it to me?"
41603Why does he not come in, and let me thank him also for his kindness?"
41603Why does n''t she live in the house, with the rest of us?"
41603Why wo n''t you come out and see us, some day?"
41603Will I shtop him?
41603Will I till ye a little shtory that me grandmother he d for the hidache?"
41603Will ye make a tay av it, Docthor, or is it a poultuss ye''ll be puttin''an her, to dhraw out the witchcraft, loike?"
41603Will you do this?"
41603Will you-- ah!--hum-- will you sit down?"
41603With a royal air, and in clear and ringing tones, the princess repeated,--"_ Has_ your grandmother sold her mangle yet?"
41603Wo n''t she, Bruin?"
41603Would your grandmother, possibly-- eh?
41603You are not really vexed with old Bruin?"
41603You do n''t want them_ all_, surely?"
41603You know that your father is slightly deaf?
41603You never knew one of_ us_ to behave in that sort of way, did you, now?"
41603You never were anything but a boy, were you?"
41603You remember old Baldhead?"
41603You see that oak- stump yonder, with the moss on it?
41603You will be a companion for my crow-- By the way, where is my crow?
41603_ Did_ you say he was gone?"
41603_ Why_ do we travel for weeks and months and years?
41603_ Why_ must n''t you?"
41603_ do_ you remember that day, my boy?"
41603and--"Is it thrue that yer mother makes all her butther out av skim- milk just by making the sign of the cross-- God bless it!--over the churn?"
41603are you here?"
41603before you go to sleep, please--_please_, tell me if people ever take calves to the moon from here?"
41603but-- a-- have you ever tried digging for roots in the ground-- with your beak-- I mean, nose?"
41603care to come?"
41603cried Eileen,"what for wud I be sorry?
41603cried Mrs. Macarthy;"phwhat''s that?"
41603cried Toto, indignantly,"who said you were ugly?
41603cried the parrot, eagerly,"is he gone?"
41603cried the raccoon,"will you not?
41603d''ye hear me, now?"
41603exclaimed the grandmother;"why, who can have taken it?"
41603have you anything to say for yourself, before I wring your neck?"
41603he added,"and what is going on in your set?"
41603he cried in his fresh, cheery voice,"how are you to- day, sir?
41603he exclaimed,"you hawk, what do you mean by that?
41603inquired the cow, timidly,"or a different sort of animal?"
41603is it possible?"
41603is it too late to have another story?
41603repeated the bear,"before I wring your ugly neck?"
41603repeated the fairy,"what diamonds and pearls?
41603said Mother Brindle,"can it really be milking- time?
41603said the chief priest in great agitation,"what is your errand?"
41603said the chief priest,"by what right or by whose order comest thou here, to the Sacred Shrine of the Holy Dragon?"
41603said the squirrel, who had been gazing up into the sky,"what''s that?"
41603she cried,"did you put that custard pie out in the snow to cool?
41603shrieked the priest,"_ what_ did you see?"
41603tell me that, will you?
41603thinkest thou that aught would be amiss if I were to take just one peep at the Celestial Footstool?
41603was his wife mistaken?
41603was it you?"
41603was that a whisper of prayer, or was it-- could it be-- the faintest suspicion of a snore?
41603what could it be?
41603what do ye think?
41603what do you think?
41603what else could it be?
41603what is that?"
41603what is that?"
41603what is this paper package which smells so divinely, sending a warm, spicy, pungent fragrance through the air?
41603what shall I do?
41603what was that noise?"
41603what was that sound?
41603what will I do now at all?
41603what wud I have first?
41603what''ll I do at all?
41603what''ll I do?
41603what''s that?
41603what''s that?"
41603what_ do_ you think?"
41603where are you?"
41603where did it come from?
41603who is this?"
41603who--_what_ is that speaking?"
41603will I lose ye this- a- way?
41603will ye hear um?"
41603will you, though?"
41603wudn''t it be beautiful, entirely?"
38431''Do n''t you know the middle of the body is the trunk?'' 38431 ''Fishing''?"
38431''Katie Beardie had a grice, It could skate upon the ice; Wasna that a dainty grice? 38431 ''Oh, aye?''
38431''Whit way air they no honest, Tam?'' 38431 A fox?
38431A poor little bunny?
38431A_ lodge_?
38431About how fast that reckless thing would sail? 38431 Ah reckon if we knowed too much, we would n''t want doctors a- tall, eh?

38431An owl as big as_ that_?
38431An''is dat what dat fool white doctor mean? 38431 And are we going to sail on them?"
38431And do you intend to stay here till it stops snowing?
38431And suppose we get snowed in and are n''t able to get out of the woods till spring?
38431And the children?
38431And the wolf?
38431And there was n''t nobody up there this morning?
38431And what do you think, Cecile? 38431 And why throw away the yeast cakes?"
38431And you were girls there?
38431Anything stole?
38431Are n''t the cars on the branch line heated?
38431Are there fishes in it with blind eyes?
38431Are they roosting on him? 38431 Are those the pigs''footprints?"
38431Are we going by steamer?
38431Are you hurt?
38431Are you sure the fox was shot, young feller?
38431Are you sure they are deer?
38431Are you trying to frighten us?
38431Be president, Miss Maltby? 38431 Becky and her father or Becky and her father''s partner?"
38431Both? 38431 But I suppose we could be snowbound up here?"
38431But ca n''t we say our prayers?
38431But did you think they were both girls till you got into this fight?
38431But the other varmints--"What are those?
38431But those keys?
38431But what am I to do? 38431 But what does''meachin''mean?"
38431But what is this place, Neale?
38431But what would she and-- say-- Sammy Pinkney do, turned out alone into the world?
38431But where did these deer go?
38431But who was it? 38431 But who''s been trackin''up all dese stairs, if''twasn''t yo''chillen?"
38431But why did n''t somebody tell me about it?
38431But wo n''t we break through the ice?
38431But you do n''t live out here in the woods all by yourself, do you?
38431But you found that key in your cabin, did you not?
38431But, Mr. Howbridge,asked Ruth,"does it seem possible that they could get away up here alone?"
38431But-- but who started that fire in the grate?
38431By the way, Mr. Howbridge,said M''Graw in a different tone,"where are the little shavers?"
38431Ca n''t we catch any more rabbits?
38431Can you beat him?
38431Come in, wo n''t you? 38431 Did you e''er see such bairns before?"
38431Did you ever kill a flea with a hammer?
38431Did you ever?
38431Did you see that biggest Pederman girl? 38431 Do n''t girls beat everything?"
38431Do n''t you know it is n''t polite to whisper at table, Neale O''Neil?
38431Do n''t you remember what Mr. Howbridge told us about the Birdsall twins and the picture he sent out to the police? 38431 Do n''t you''member?
38431Do you really believe those marks were the twins''footsteps?
38431Do you s''pose they were girls, Neale O''Neil?
38431Do you suppose it is really good to eat?
38431Do you suppose my Alice- doll-- or any of the other dollies-- can stand it?
38431Do you suppose that may happen, Tess?
38431Do you suppose you can really cure the skin for me, Neale?
38431Do you suppose you could show us the way home?
38431Do you think it could be possible, after all, Ike?
38431Does any of our party sleep in the garret, Hedden?
38431Finally the folks, they gathered around him at the post- office and one says:''What ails ye, Tam?
38431Fish?
38431Girls out in this blizzard?
38431Goin''to try your hands at fishin''? 38431 Has he left plenty for the twins?"
38431Has something gone wrong?
38431Heh? 38431 How about Tom Jonah?
38431How about the key?
38431How are we going to feed so many people?
38431How are you going to catch rabbits when we ca n''t get outside this cave?
38431How are you going to kill him?
38431How are you, this morning, M''Graw?
38431How did you come to know him?
38431How did you get here? 38431 How did you girls sleep?"
38431How do they fish through the ice? 38431 How is that?"
38431How old are they?
38431How should_ I_ know what might happen to the old ice?
38431How was that?
38431How will the other two of our party travel?
38431How''d they know?
38431How''s Pechunia, Alfredia? 38431 I can go to that Red Deer Lodge, ca n''t I?"
38431I can, ca n''t I, Aggie?
38431I do n''t think they would have gone beyond this spot, do you?
38431I mean who are those behind you?
38431I understood you lived near the Lodge, here, Ike?
38431If it had been the children would n''t they have been found here?
38431Ike M''Graw? 38431 In a balloon, maybe?"
38431In what tents?
38431In what?
38431Is dat sho''''nough so, Missie Ruth?
38431Is it a bear?
38431Is it going to snow enough tonight to keep them indoors tomorrow?
38431Is it sick?
38431Is it something about the estate?
38431Is money everything?
38431Is n''t it a shame?
38431Is n''t it dark?
38431Is n''t that splendid?
38431Is n''t this great?
38431Is that why you told me to keep my collar up over my mouth and nose?
38431Is there a channel open through the ice? 38431 Is what a bear?"
38431Is-- is your cave far?
38431It''s one of those things one must decide for oneself, is n''t it?
38431Jest what sort of doin''s do you call this?
38431Just like the fleas on my bulldog, Buster?
38431Known what?
38431Liked what?
38431Living in tents in winter?
38431Me? 38431 More than that, Sam,"said Neale:"How did you ever get him up there?"
38431No other signs of anybody having been here?
38431No? 38431 Nobody here at all until my party came yesterday?"
38431Not of that fisher- woman?
38431Now will you be good?
38431Now, Neale,returned the older girl,"how would you keep her from getting hurt if that ice- boat broke in two, for instance?"
38431Now, what do you know about that?
38431Now, what''s this? 38431 Of course, Tess and I spent the night once right out under a tree-- didn''t we, Tessie?
38431Of course, one of the men was not out with a small rifle, and plugged old Reynard when he was howling at the moon, was he?
38431Oh, Mr. Howbridge,Ruth said, remembering her"manners"after all,"wo n''t you come in?"
38431Oh, where are you? 38431 Oh, who shot it?"
38431Or lost, eh?
38431Ran away? 38431 Ready?"
38431Rowdy?
38431Scrumptious, is n''t it?
38431Shoes, Dottie?
38431Shot, eh?
38431Should I take them into my house? 38431 Sled?"
38431Stand what?
38431Stockin''s?
38431Strangers have not been here, then?
38431Tell me, Missie Ruth,he asked,"what do dem doctors want to use sech wo''ds fo'', when dere is common wo''ds to use dat a pusson kin understan''?"
38431Tell you about what?
38431That old woodsman, perhaps? 38431 That we get chased by wolfs and-- and have to throw somebody overboard to''em?"
38431The Shepards? 38431 The one you think was a boy?"
38431Them twins? 38431 Then any person passing by could have found the key and entered the Lodge?"
38431Then do n''t you live alone?
38431Then they-- well, the feller that shot the fox was up there in the attic about bedtime, was he?
38431They could n''t be anything else, could they?
38431To a regular, sure- enough winter camp? 38431 To what door was it?"
38431Twin_ what_? 38431 Twins?"
38431Uh- huh? 38431 Uh- huh?
38431Uh- huh?
38431Want him all chawed up?
38431Want to get Mrs. Mac or Mr. Howbridge out here to see what is the matter?
38431Was it really all white?
38431We ca n''t get lost on this road, can we, Tess?
38431We do n''t take to the sleigh yet, do we?
38431We never had a nurse, did we, Tess? 38431 Well, I never tried it before, did I?"
38431Well, who brought them in? 38431 Well,"said Neale, laughing now,"what I want to know is, which of you it was that thrashed those two boys that tried to steal your set- lines?"
38431Well?
38431Well?
38431Wha''fur all dis traipsin''an''traipsin''up dese stairs?
38431What about the little Newman boy?
38431What about''em?
38431What an awful time that was, was n''t it? 38431 What are all those horrid sounding things?"
38431What are these people doing here?
38431What are they, Mr. Howbridge? 38431 What are you doing it for, then?"
38431What are you doing out here?
38431What are you doing, Sammy? 38431 What are you two doing down there?"
38431What could Dr. Forsyth have said about you that you think is unkind, Uncle Rufus?
38431What d''you mean?
38431What d''you mean?
38431What d''you mean?
38431What did I tell you?
38431What did he do with the old ones he had?
38431What do you come by?
38431What do you know about that?
38431What do you know about this?
38431What do you mean?
38431What do you suppose Ruthie or Mrs. MacCall will say?
38431What do you think I am-- a bell rope, that you yank me that way?
38431What do you think of that?
38431What does that mean?
38431What grate are you referrin''to? 38431 What happened to the pigs?"
38431What have you there?
38431What is a timber cruiser?
38431What is funny?
38431What is it, Hedden?
38431What is it, Mr. Howbridge? 38431 What is it?"
38431What is it?
38431What is the matter with Ralph?
38431What is the matter, Hedden?
38431What kind of a dog is this here Tom Jonah?
38431What kind of a trap?
38431What kind of fish do you catch?
38431What may happen?
38431What shall we do?
38431What sort of a ball killed it?
38431What was Robbie Foote''s idea?
38431What was it?
38431What was that, Neale?
38431What was the use?
38431What were you doing down there?
38431What would you do if you had had twins left to you?
38431What would you do, for instance, if a pair of twins had been left to you?
38431What''ll you do?
38431What''s all this about red deer, and snowshoes, and eating icicle soup?
38431What''s dat?
38431What''s going on?
38431What''s that at the door?
38431What''s that? 38431 What''s that?"
38431What''s that?
38431What''s the joke?
38431What''s the matter with the skin?
38431What''s the matter with you?
38431What''s this?
38431What_ is_ the matter?
38431When he''d told her''men''was the plural of''man,''she said:''What is the plural of child?'' 38431 When this here dog,"he said, looking at Neale in turn,"is at home, I guess he knows everybody in the neighborhood, do n''t he?"
38431When was this?
38431Where are they now?
38431Where are you going, M''Graw?
38431Where are your manners? 38431 Where did you get such a word, Dot?"
38431Where is your old cave?
38431Where was it shot from? 38431 Where, Uncle Rufus?"
38431Where-- what--?
38431Which of these did you use last night, Mr. M''Graw, when you shot that fox?
38431Which of''em''s Birdsall''s young ones?
38431Who are always fighting?
38431Who are n''t boys?
38431Who are you?
38431Who do you suppose shot him?
38431Who ever would have thought it?
38431Who was up here with a gun last night and popped over that fox? 38431 Who would know where it was?"
38431Who would n''t admire her?
38431Who would take in two tearing and wearing children, twelve years old?
38431Who''d have a gun like that up here in the woods? 38431 Whom do you mean?"
38431Why do n''t the old thing go better?
38431Why do n''t you keep your fire in a stove, Rowdy?
38431Why not this afternoon, Ruthie?
38431Why not? 38431 Why not?"
38431Why not?
38431Why not?
38431Why will you, Dot, mix up your words so? 38431 Why,"Dot put in,"suppose Sammy was your brother?
38431Why-- why--"This dog must ha''knowed him-- eh?
38431Why?
38431With just servants?
38431Wo n''t it bite you?
38431Wo n''t it hurt him?
38431Wo n''t she?
38431Wo n''t you come out, Miss Ruth?
38431Wolfs? 38431 Ye- as?
38431Yes, sir?
38431Yes?
38431You are more careful of their money, Mr. Howbridge, than you are of the twins themselves, are you not?
38431You are n''t_ what_?
38431You do n''t mean it, Neale?
38431You do n''t mean it?
38431You do n''t mean it?
38431You do n''t mean to say wild animals pray, do you? 38431 You do n''t suppose they''ve gone far?"
38431You goin''to try your hands?
38431You have n''t seen them of late, have you?
38431You mean Tom Jonah?
38431You mean the twins, of course? 38431 You seen this critter shot last night, you say?"
38431You think so?
38431You was n''t meanin''nothin''special, was you? 38431 You''re some of that bunch from Red Deer Lodge, are n''t you?"
38431Young man,she said in her severest way,"what do you suppose will become of you?
38431_ Girls?_gasped the stranger, who seemed to be very little older than Sammy himself.
38431_ Wolves?_ Why, they are savage!
38431A deer jumped out here-- or what?"
38431A real rabbit?"
38431Ah jes''got rheumatics, like Ah always has?"
38431Ai n''t it a fac''?"
38431Ai n''t that a fac''?"
38431All night?"
38431All ready, Tess?"
38431And I reckon they''re in his favor, ai n''t they?"
38431And I reckon you want them figgers on the timber Neven wants to cut?"
38431And a lonely place, is n''t it?"
38431And had Rowdy made the dumplings all right and seasoned the stew so that it would be palatable?
38431And if your new family is as troublesome as the Corner House crowd, what will you ever do?"
38431And the tent''most blowed over one night, and you and I and Tom Jonah went sailing in a boat?
38431And then, if they had come here, where are they now?"
38431And two girls alone?"
38431And what are you scratching that way for?"
38431And what do you suppose he told Miss Grimsby?"
38431And what do you suppose?"
38431And when you did come clean up here, why did n''t you come to my shack and stay?"
38431And you found live embers in the grate there?"
38431And, of course, there was n''t no footprints at the front of the house, was there?"
38431Are the animals as tame as that up here?"
38431Are they at home where they ought to be?"
38431Are they really ice- boats?"
38431Are you hungry, Rafe?"
38431Boys or girls?"
38431But did n''t the kitchen man, John, let him out when he first came downstairs this morning?"
38431But if they come up here and slid down again, why did n''t we find''em on our way up?
38431But surely, you do n''t think anybody from Milton is up here at Red Deer Lodge, except just these people that Mr. Howbridge brought?"
38431But they are all hidden away for the winter now, are n''t they, Neale?"
38431But who could it be?"
38431But why did n''t the dog give tongue?
38431CHAPTER IV ANTICIPATIONS Mr. Howbridge, before he hurried away to his office, asked Ruth:"What do you think of that?
38431Can we go home this morning?"
38431Could it be the feller that shot the fox from the attic winder was right in here when John called the dog, loadin''up his knapsack with grub?"
38431Could you, Neale?"
38431Did I tell you I could n''t find no place where the feller stood out there in the snow last evening to shoot that fox from?"
38431Did you ever, Tess?"
38431Did you ever?"
38431Did you notice any tracks about the house?"
38431Did you see her-- Agnes-- up in the air?"
38431Did you, Rafe?"
38431Do n''t you feel any better?"
38431Do n''t you know these kids are our guests?"
38431Do n''t you remember?"
38431Do n''t you say so, Rowdy?"
38431Do n''t you see?
38431Do n''t you''member?"
38431Do you know them well?"
38431Do you realize that every boy born in this country has a chance to be president?"
38431Fire, eh?
38431Going to fill this cave with snow?"
38431Had n''t you, Tess?"
38431Had the shot been made from outside or inside the house?
38431Has he come back again?
38431Has he had supper, Hedden?"
38431Have you seen Ike M''Graw?"
38431He does know lots o''folks-- especially young folks-- around where he lives when he''s at home, do n''t he?"
38431He was still digging like a woodchuck when Rowdy''s voice reached him:"What are you trying to do?
38431Hedden overtook the backwoodsman and shouted:"Had n''t we better separate, Mr. M''Graw, and beat the bushes on either side of this road?"
38431How about the money value of the tree?"
38431How are we ever going to dig out of here?"
38431How come he make dat goat climb all dese stairs?"
38431How did you know?"
38431How do I know?
38431How many of you are there?"
38431How''s that?"
38431Howbridge?"
38431Howbridge?"
38431I should think the police--""Did n''t you hear that woman say there were no constables out here on the ice?"
38431I suppose there are twin fish?"
38431I thought you liked''em, Aggie?"
38431If the marksman that had shot the fox was up here, from which window did he shoot?
38431If the older ones could slide downhill, why could he and the little girls not have the same pleasure?
38431If this other boy does n''t like us because we are girls, ca n''t he go out and live under the tree himself?"
38431If you get snowed in you do n''t see anybody for weeks, I suppose?"
38431In the attic?"
38431Is it mice?
38431Is it nae the fine place they''d have us believe?''
38431Is n''t that strange?"
38431Just like that?"
38431Katie Beardie had a hen, Cackled but and cackled ben; Wasna that a dainty hen?
38431Kinder funny, heh?"
38431M''Graw?"
38431M''Graw?"
38431M''Graw?"
38431M''Graw?"
38431M''Graw?"
38431May I go with you when you speak to him?"
38431Now, did n''t he?
38431Now, is it?!"
38431Of course, Ike, they could n''t have got up here to Red Deer Lodge, could they?"
38431Of course, Ike, you have made no mistake in cruising the timberland?"
38431Olga, the one with the white eyebrows and no lashes?"
38431Or did we come up here to discuss political economy?"
38431Quickly Mr. Howbridge put in a query that had formed in his mind early in the evening:"Have you been troubled with visitors up here this winter?"
38431Ralph and Rowena?"
38431Right here near the house?
38431Ruthie asked Olga what she would like to have-- if she could get her anything special?
38431Say, Hedden, how do you get upstairs into the garret?"
38431Scared to death?"
38431See that set- line bob?"
38431See?
38431Seen a rat?
38431Send them to boarding school-- the boy one way and the girl another?"
38431Separate them?
38431Shall I bring him in here?"
38431Should I break up the habits of years for two half- wild children?"
38431Smartie?"
38431So these are your folks, are they?
38431Some thief?"
38431Spry?"
38431Suppose the little folks should be under that heap of snow?
38431Suppose the mast should snap or a skate should break?
38431The Corner House girl whispered to the boy:"What do you think about those two twelve year old girls coming here to stay and fish through the ice?"
38431Them?
38431Then she said again:"Is n''t this great?"
38431Then to Rafe:"What''s the matter, Rafe, dear?
38431They can make some noise, ca n''t they?
38431Those college boys are awfully smart, are n''t they?"
38431Twin puppies, or kittens, or even fish?
38431Two girls alone?"
38431Two girls of twelve or so traveling into the woods?
38431Was it somebody the dog knowed?
38431Was n''t they with folks able to take keer of''em?"
38431Was the beast that was scratching through letting daylight into the cave?
38431Was there going to be enough to go around?
38431We can go back under that tree-- can''t we, Sammy?"
38431Wha''s dat Sam Pinkney?"
38431What I thought was a goat when I was a very little girl?
38431What are you sayin''?"
38431What d''you know about that?
38431What did the intruder do?"
38431What do you suppose can have happened to Sammy and Tess and Dot?"
38431What does anybody scratch for?"
38431What fox?"
38431What lack?"
38431What would be the end of this strange and menacing situation?
38431What''s this?"
38431What_ are_ you scratching for?"
38431What_ is_ that?"
38431Where do you suppose that man shot the fox from?"
38431Where''d the feller stand when he shot the fox?"
38431Which room was this fire in?"
38431Who else would give themselves dead away by shootin''that fox out of the winder?
38431Who was?"
38431Who''s gone up to slide this afternoon?"
38431Who''s that?"
38431Who, then, could be up there shooting out of one of the small windows at the yapping fox?
38431Why slaughter it?"
38431Why_ will_ you get so mixed up in your words?"
38431You remember?"
38431You say there was n''t no marks in the snow when your folks fust came?"
38431You''re town folks, ai n''t you?"
38431_ Chickens?_"gasped the smallest Corner House girl.
38431admonished Ruth,"How is it you two always manage to fight?"
38431ai n''t it snowin''though?
38431are n''t we going to slide downhill?
38431asked Neale O''Neil, vastly interested,"you two stopped a week at the village on the ice and fished, did n''t you?"
38431chorused the little white girls, and:"Howdy, Gran''pop?"
38431cried Dot,"what is''dancing Katie Beardie''?"
38431cried the beauty,"wo n''t it be fine to have a collar or a muff made out of a fox that I saw shot with my own eyes?"
38431did n''t Mr. Howbridge say this was a lodge?"
38431did you find anything up in that closet belongin''to the twins?"
38431do you live in a cave?"
38431do you s''pose,"demanded Tess,"that you can jump hard enough to break through two feet of ice?"
38431do you suppose it will be clear by morning, as that funny old man says?"
38431ejaculated Sammy, when this was finished,"ai n''t it fun living in a cave?
38431ejaculated the old woodsman,"how about those other children?
38431exclaimed Ike M''Graw,"you''ve got a right big fam''ly, have n''t you?
38431exclaimed Neale O''Neil,"if a tree is beautiful, why not let it stand?
38431exclaimed Ruth Kenway, severely,"why did n''t you bring Scalawag, the pony, into the house as well?
38431exclaimed his mother suddenly,"I''d like to know how you are so sure''bout one bein''a boy?"
38431gasped Agnes,"are we going up the lake by kite?"
38431gasped Uncle Rufus,"what is we a- comin''to?
38431have you come to take us out?"
38431he exclaimed suddenly,"how''d these folks that made the fire get into the house and out again?"
38431returned Neale, smothering his laughter,"you did n''t suppose he was tame, did you?"
38431said the strange boy, suddenly glaring at Sammy Pinkney,"what do you know about girls?"
38431suppose there should be something in there?"
38431was n''t it bully?"
38431what are you trying to get at, Agnes Kenway?"
38431what d''you want to say such things to a feller for?"
38431what do you mean?
38431what happened to it?"
38431what is the matter with you?"
38431what shall we do?"
38431what''s that, Ruthie?"
38431where''d I dig fishworms this time of year?"
38431who lives here?"
38431who said it snowed?
38431why do n''t you behave?"
38431you do n''t mean it?"
