45021He was sorry that Jack was benighted,he said,"Might he fenture to peg he''d accept of a ped?"
45021How feel ye now,cried Jack,"old chap?
45021How slept you?

45021Did you ever behold such a horrid old brawny?
45021For a tit- bit wilt thou broil me now, An''I let thee out again?"

45021That floundering splash, That thundering crash?
45021Thought Jack as he listened with mind perplexed;--"I wonder what he''s up to next?"

45021Upon a night as dark as pitch A light was dancing on the sea;-- Marked it the track of the Water Witch?
45021What was to be done?
45021When this mountain bugaboo Had filled his belly, what would he do?
45021Whither was the hero bound, Napping by the Ogre caught?

57844But what in the world are you doing?
57844Is there any game you play any better than this, Sonny?
57844Want to learn it?
57844And he said,"What on earth do you mean, Jimmy?"
57844Did you ever play you were a ghost?
57844Do you think you would mind scalping him?"
57844Else why did he urge the boys to study wasps, and tell us how to collect wasps''nests without getting stung?
57844Father came to the door himself, and when he saw me, he said,"Jimmy, what in the world does this mean?"
57844Father has been away for a week but is coming back in a few days, and wo n''t he be delighted when he finds a monkey in the house?
57844George-- he''s the driver-- was beginning to ask,"Is thishyer some swimmin''match that''s goin''on?"
57844He handed it to Sue and said,"Susan, what does this mean?
57844He would n''t know who hit him, and, besides, who ever heard of a fellow being hurt with a pillow?
57844I do n''t believe it; for how could they get their food brought up to them?
57844I said,"What book?"
57844I was sitting on the grass, practising mumble- te- peg a little, and by- and- by Mr. Martin says,"Well, Bub, what are you doing?"
57844If he could n''t afford to get himself made like other people, why do n''t he stay at home?
57844It was just after supper, and I was having a real nice time, when Mr. Travers came, and he said,"Jimmy, what are you up to now?"
57844Just then Aunt Sarah came to the door and called them, and when she saw them she said,"Good gracious what on earth have you been doing?"
57844Now I''m never allowed to sit in the back parlor, so what good would my chair do me?
57844Now is it probable that any real good man would put a boy up to any such nonsense as this?
57844Now was n''t it my duty to wash that baby, and get the feathers and molasses off it?
57844Now what was there to find fault with in that?
57844One night Sue saw him coming up the garden- walk, and father said,"There''s the other one coming, Susan; is n''t this Travers''s evening?"
57844She gave a shriek, and said,"Oh, what''s that?"
57844So I said,"Why do n''t you play you are pigs, and crawl round and grunt?
57844So says Mr. Travers"What will you take for him?"
57844There was a base- ball match but what did they care?
57844There was once an elephant in a circus, and one day a boy said to him,"Want a lump of sugar, old fellow?"
57844Want it cured, old boy?"

57844What do you want, anyway?"
57844Why ca n''t you girls be more careful about pins?"
57844Wo n''t you go down and see what it is?"

57844and Tommy, that''s the oldest boy, said,"We''ve been playing we were pigs ma and it''s real fun and was n''t Jimmy good to show us how?"
57844that does n''t give him any right to rumple my hair, does it?

20741All alone?
20741But do you not know who I am, and that I am forced to be your father''s greatest enemy?
20741Have you been here long?
20741Much work to do, eh?
20741What have I done, Nip?
20741What is it?
20741After their thanks, Sir John began to talk to me about myself-- about my parents-- my wishes-- what I intended to do-- and what were my means?
20741And what was the loud noise which startled me so that I had nearly let go my hold?
20741Did I believe all the flattering praises which the lovely Fida had bestowed on me?
20741Did you think there was not one sharp eye in Caneville to watch the saver, but that all were fixed upon the saved?
20741Do n''t you know its the son of the old doggess who had you beat so soundly?
20741Had I slept?
20741I was awoke from this day- dream by the voice of an old, but very clean doggess, inquiring if my name was Mr. Job?
20741If you were_ ashamed_ of your occupation, why had you chosen it?
20741Is n''t she making a fuss?
20741Is n''t this a game?
20741Look at your shoulder, where the hair has been all knocked off with the blows?"
20741That every tongue was so engaged in sympathizing with the mother, that not one was left to praise the brave?
20741Was I still on the rolling water?
20741What if I should suddenly dart on little Dicky, and make a meal of him?
20741What though my weakness was so great that I tumbled over on to the beach and filled my mouth with sand?
20741Where was I now?
20741Where were the helpless puppies?
20741Who does not?
20741Why?
20741[ Illustration: AFLOAT] Where was I hurrying to?
20741change places with you, or with that poor fluttering bird?"
20741dear Job, why?
20741or, at least, hear the opinions of many before we decide ourselves?
20741where is your courage, brother Job?
21097And did you see it too?
21097And if we_ do_ go round the Horn, what then, Mr Sub- lieutenant Follett?
21097And so you really have seen the great sea serpent?
21097And what is the` real thing''like?
21097Are the icebergs very big?
21097But I suppose we''d better do as these gentry require, or else they''ll be hitting us under the fifth buttonhole; and, what would become of us then?
21097But the ransom?
21097Did you ever have any adventure amongst the icebergs?
21097Did you see anything, Jim?
21097Do you think it was really the sea serpent? 21097 Do you think so, Follett?"
21097Do you think so?
21097I daresay you''ve read a lot of rubbish on the subject?
21097I do n''t suppose there is,I said;"but what puts the Niger, of all places in the world, in your head at the present moment?"
21097I wonder what''s their little game?
21097It was all very well to dissemble his love,quoted Mr Moynham;"but,--why did he kick us down- stairs?"
21097Shall I write an order on my bankers for the money to be sent? 21097 Stirred up, probably, by your starboard broadside?"
21097Take him with me of course,answered Tom;"why should n''t I?"
21097That''s a very good yarn, Jim,said I;"but do you mean to say that you saw the monster with your own eyes, Jim, as well as all the rest of you?"
21097The chief!--which chief, or thief?
21097Was you ever up the Niger, sir?
21097What do you think it was? 21097 What on earth shall I do, Buncombe?"
21097What was it that you saw?
21097What will you do with your monkey?
21097Who''s this gentleman?
21097Why have we met with this treatment at your hands?
21097Wo n''t Jocko find it cold: you know it''s winter time there now?
21097Would you believe it? 21097 ` And why then,''sez he, argumentifying on to me like a shot,` and why then should n''t there be such a thing as the sea sarpint?''
21097` But why, Gil, did you say you had seed a ghost, when it was a sarpint?'' 21097 ` Lor'', Gil Saul,''sez I,` what''s come over you, mate?
21097` Nonsense, man,''he calls out--`frost? 21097 But why do you ask the question?
21097But, then, what can you expect from such a chap?
21097Curious, is n''t it?
21097Did n''t I see it with my own eyes, and I was as wide awake as you are, and not caulking?''
21097He said that a horse was expressly stated by King David to be"a vain thing to save a man,"and so why should he go against that ruling?
21097How could we ever have reviled her and despised her?
21097I asked;"and Gil Saul''s prophecy turns out true?"
21097I may here explain that while on the quarter- deck, I invariably addressed Tom Finch as"Sir,"for was he not my commanding officer?
21097It was princely gratitude, was n''t it, in spite of the slighting way in which Mr Moynham had spoken of the modern Greeks and their ways?
21097It was very strange that, was n''t it?
21097Might it not have been a waterspout, or a bit of floating wreck, which you saw in the fog?"
21097One hundred thousand piastres will be about five thousand pounds-- I do n''t know whether my credit will be good for that amount?"
21097Possibly, he might have been a sort of incubating Watt or Brunel, who knows?
21097Thenceforward the rest of the chronicles of the Little Peddlington Cricket Club are they not written in gold?
21097Waterspouts and bits of wreck smell like polecats when you''re a hundred miles from land, do n''t they?
21097What do you mean by the chief?"
21097What do you think it contained?
21097Where are your eyes?
21097Who do you think it was?
21097Who would have thought it?
21097You do n''t think the crew dislike my monkey, do you?"
21097` Hard up with the helm, men, do you hear?''
21097` Who ever heard tell of such a thing, except in a Yankee yarn?''
21097are you going on the sick list, or what?''
21097hails Mr Stanchion from aft;` what''s the matter ahead-- what are you making all that row about?''
21097wherever did you pick up such a fine word?
29595''May I go with you, my pretty maid? 29595 ''Oh, then may I marry you, my pretty maid?
29595''What is your father, my pretty maid? 29595 ''What is your_ fortune_, my pretty maid?
29595''What, have you brought in a parcel of cats? 29595 But, come, Lina, how shall we dress Miss Isabella to get married?"
29595Ca n''t you say it for me?
29595Do n''t you know any, Little Mother?
29595Do n''t you see it? 29595 I wonder if her eyes_ will_ open?"
29595No?
29595Well, perhaps sister will make him one,said Lina;"but what shall we do with poor Miss Morris?"
29595Well, was there ever anything known like this?
29595What is it all about?
29595Where is it?
29595Where?
29595Whom will you manage, Maggie?
29595Would you believe it?
29595Yes, do,cried Maggie;"let''s see, what shall be for dinner?"
29595And did you not hear All that befell them on that day?
29595Are n''t you glad?
29595Are they done now?
29595But where was the house?
29595Ca n''t I keep it on all the time, mamma?
29595Ca n''t you''vite her too?
29595Come, girls, what time shall it be?"
29595Did you EVER?!
29595Did you ever hear of such a piece of mischief?
29595Did you ever?
29595Did you_ ever_?
29595Did_ you_ ever?
29595Do n''t you believe it?
29595Do you always do this, little reader?
29595Do you think you can be my little housekeeper for to- day?"
29595Good morning, Miss Isabella; how do you do?
29595Here, what are you doing?
29595How dare you, Toby?
29595How do you do, Mr. Morris?
29595Is Miss Isabella Belmont Montague at home?
29595It was a dark, rainy sort of day; but what difference did that make to the children?
29595It would n''t have done to go travelling in a white silk dress, would it, you dear little poppet?
29595Lacy?"
29595Ladies and gentlemen, do n''t you think we''d better drink the bride''s health?
29595May I go with you, my pretty maid?''
29595Now, what do you think the minister told them?
29595Perhaps he did n''t want people''s noses making holes in_ his_ face; you would n''t want them made in_ yours_, would you?
29595Quite a curiosity he''d have been for Barnum''s Museum, would n''t he?
29595Then may I marry you, my pretty maid?''
29595What does this one know?"
29595What is your father, my pretty maid?''
29595What is your_ fortune_, my pretty maid?''
29595What makes you have that, Mr. Morris?
29595When she woke, she jumped up in a hurry, exclaiming,"Why, bless me-- how could I have forgotten about twelve o''clock?
29595Where are you going, my pretty maid?''
29595Who is coming, mamma?
29595Will you marry me, Miss Isabella?
29595Will you take some roast beef, Miss Morris?
29595Wo n''t you sing us a song, Mr. Morris?
29595You see, the photograph man left his own hat on the table by mistake; does n''t it look funny?
29595You went there, did n''t you-- you cunning little kitten?
29595_ Did_ you ever?
29595and saw all the dolls?
29595are you the old woman that lived in a shoe?
29595but is he handsome, Mr. Montague?
29595cried Mr. Timmy Timmens;"has Polly forgot all about the fairy wish?
29595do n''t she, Timmy, dear?"
29595how do you like_ that_?
29595is dat you?
29595or have you got bald all of a sudden, that you have taken to caps?"
29595she cried,"is that you?
29595squealed the little old woman, letting fall her knife and basket;"where has the house runned to?
29595they called at the same moment, and falling into each other''s arms and a mud puddle, they stood for a long time, saying by turns:"Did you ever?"
29595what shall I do?
29595what_ is_ Algernon doing?
29595what_ will_ be the end of their folly?

37111A noun is the name of a person, place or thing, I believe?
37111A postman!--why?
37111A telegram, did you say? 37111 And somebody else will tell you they do not know what to do with their Time?"

37111But what are they doing with those bellows?
37111But where is the Bletherwitch, and how do you know?
37111But,interrupted Maude,"how can you know nothing about anything?"
37111But-- but-- O what do you mean? 37111 Do you think it would be right to pay double?
37111Done? 37111 Have you got five minutes to spare?"
37111How can Nobody have a memory? 37111 How could they both be wrong then?
37111How do you mean?
37111I wonder what it means?
37111If you make a Good Resolution and do n''t carry it out-- doesn''t it become a Bad Resolution? 37111 In what way are they Magic Pens?"
37111Nonsense? 37111 Oh, Mr Zankiwank, what is this gentleman saying?"

37111Who, then, collects the Resolutions?
37111Why?
37111Will you? 37111 You often hear of somebody who has half an hour to spare, do n''t you?"
37111_ What_ is the matter with you, Mr Zankiwank?
37111An''did um have a fall?
37111And a buzzing in their ears took up the refrain:-- The Zankiwank, the Zankiwank, Oh where, Oh where is the Zankiwank?
37111And where she flaunts her head?

37111Do you forget what my name is?"
37111Do you know what a conundrum is though?
37111Had he and Maude been waiting there three weeks as well?
37111How can one buy a Good Resolution?"
37111How can you finish a sentence with a preposition?
37111How do you do?
37111How do you do?
37111How do you manage then?"
37111How is my blushing bride?
37111I meant that your house would first be facing the East, and then South, and then West, and then North, and what would be the use of that?"
37111If anything were true, nothing would be untrue, and then where should we be?"
37111Is not that feasible?"
37111It surely must be Welsh?"
37111Mix the Good and the Bad together?
37111No doubt the Zankiwank knew what he was talking about, but as the children did not-- what did it signify?
37111Nonsense?
37111Nothing is nothing; but what is better than nothing?"
37111Now, Mr Æsop, as you know so much, please tell us what a proverb is?"
37111Now, how could one even try to tell such an eccentric creature as the Zankiwank that he was all wrong and talking fables and fibs and tarra- diddles?
37111O would you know where Fancy dwells?
37111O would you know where Fancy dwells?

37111So round about the Sunset Tree Each boy and girl should go To play a game of-- What''s its name?
37111Then he turned to the two children and said mournfully--"Have you seen my new invention?
37111To me?
37111Was it a shadow?
37111Was that the music of the spheres they wondered?
37111What do you remember with it?"
37111What would they think at home?
37111What''s the use of an advantage, I should like to know?
37111Where is your logic?
37111Who has got any crackers?"
37111Why do not they become a Firm and mix the two together?"
37111Why do they give you so many morals?"
37111Why should we?
37111Will you walk into the garden?
37111[ Illustration] Surely they had been whisked back to Charing Cross again without knowing it?

37111[ Illustration]"Oh, Mr Zankiwank, what is the matter with those children in short frocks and knickerbockers?

26478Did you see the Sleeping Beauty?
26478Do n''t you take any other newspapers than these?
26478Do you think she will see me? 26478 Does your Majesty mean that you received no education at all?"
26478Does your Majesty remember any of the incidents of your early life?
26478Er- er- how do you do?

26478Good gracious,I replied,"and does he pay you well for them?"
26478Have n''t you had any rain here?
26478Have you really never seen any before?
26478Heard the news?
26478His Majesty of Why, sir? 26478 His name?
26478How did he come?
26478How did you enjoy the Academy?
26478How did you go?
26478How much do you want?
26478How much is the entrance fee to the Academy?
26478How much will you give me for telling you?
26478I suppose her Majesty has a crown of her own, has n''t she?
26478I suppose you can manage to put us up here for a month or two?
26478I''d never met a single one of Henry the Eighth''s wives in my life, and how was I to recognize them?
26478If a person is not attached to anyone else, they are detached, I suppose, are they not?
26478Is n''t it affecting?
26478Is n''t it now?
26478No?
26478Oh, please, sir, will you go down? 26478 Oh,_ how_ do you do?
26478Shall I really see the Queen of England?
26478The most important question for the moment is, where are we all going to sleep?
26478There were n''t any; you did n''t see any, did you?
26478They have to catch dogs for a living?
26478To Hammersmith?
26478Well, candidly, I''m afraid not very much,I replied;"and what on earth do you call it an ode for?"
26478Well, how was I to know?
26478Well, then, how do you suppose that I am going to manage? 26478 Well, what is an armoury?"
26478Well, where were the names of the stations then?
26478Well, why do n''t you go to the Public Library then?
26478Well, why do n''t you see that we get it then? 26478 What are they doing here at all?"

26478What''s his name?
26478What''s in the big box?
26478What''s that?
26478Whatever is that; I do n''t think it was mentioned on the cards of invitation, was it?
26478Where did he come from?
26478Where did the engine go?
26478Where is it then?

26478Could you make out what he was driving at?"
26478Dear me, and shall I be presented to his Majesty?"
26478Do people ever get paid for writing poetry?"
26478Do you remember?"
26478Do you think that we could manage anyhow to find room for them, for a few days at any rate?"
26478I cried,"whatever do you mean?"
26478I replied,"and what is all this crowd doing here?"
26478Must I keep my crown on or take it off?"
26478Now then,"he continued,"how much are you going to pay us for staying with you?"
26478Of course we must do our best, and how fortunate that I put on my best gown to- day, is n''t it?
26478Surely that''s not correct, is it?"
26478They tell me, dear, you have no feet; But what is that to me?
26478What am I to do with all the beautiful Christmas and New Year''s cards which I have received?

26478Whatever were they up to?

26478You are the gentleman, I think, who is to introduce me to his Majesty, are you not?"

26478would n''t you like to know?"
15546And were there two little boys with him?
15546But was Solomon John inquiring for it?
15546Can anything have happened to the family?
15546Could not Dick crawl in?
15546Did you go to Vesuvius?
15546Did you roast eggs in the crater?
15546Did you see anything of your father?
15546Did you, too, think it was Pnyx?
15546Elizabeth Eliza would know;but how could she reach Elizabeth Eliza?
15546Have they gone to Egypt?
15546Have you been there all this time?
15546Have you had fresh dates?
15546Have you heard the new invention, my dears, That a man has invented?
15546How did you get away?
15546How should she be able to speak to him, or tell anybody whom Elizabeth Eliza had married?
15546Is there a Sphinx in Athens?
15546Oh, Carrie,said her mother, mournfully,"how can you use such expressions now, when you have wasted your opportunity in such an extravagant wish?"

15546WHERE CAN THOSE BOYS BE?
15546Was his name Solomon John?
15546Was she eating her own supper or somebody''s else? 15546 Were there two little boys?"
15546What are you going to wear?
15546What had happened? 15546 What is it?
15546What shall we do?
15546What shall we do?
15546When did you begin to grow?
15546Where are Jonas and Dick?
15546Where are the boys?
15546Where do you suppose we shall go?
15546Where have you been all winter?
15546Where have you been?
15546Where is Elizabeth Eliza? 15546 Where is it?"
15546Where is that other omnibus?
15546Who are the Pentzes?
15546Who is Mr. Peterkin''s banker?
15546Why did n''t you come sooner?
15546Why did n''t you telegraph?
15546Why did you go to Vesuvius, when Papa said he could n''t?
15546Why not spend the night?
15546Why not telegraph to her for advice?
15546Why not write out your family adventures?
15546Why should not we ask the''grateful people''?
15546Why, yes,he said decidedly;"the horses of Achilles talked, do n''t you remember?"
15546You do n''t think Jonas and Dick both went to dine at the Wilsons''?
15546''How long do you think,''turning to Oscar,''you could keep them up in the air without letting them drop?''
15546A whole roomful of chocolate creams do you consider a waste?"
15546And how could you consult your books, your dictionaries, your encyclopædias?
15546Ann Maria, who had come late and taken the last seat on the other side, turned round and called across to me,"Why do you always take the sunny side?
15546But how can you go the day before, when you do n''t yet know the day?
15546But how many people are up at sunrise?
15546But how was Dick to get out again?
15546But how were they to be got into the squirrel- cage?
15546But of what use is it for me to write about what everybody is seeing, as long as they can see it as well as I do?
15546But where was Mr. Peterkin?
15546But where were they now?
15546But, Hester, do n''t you think fables are tiresome?
15546Could Mr. Peterkin have ventured into this treacherous place?
15546Could he have been in time to reach Elizabeth Eliza?
15546Could n''t you raise any dinner?"
15546Could she bear it, day after day, week after week?
15546Could she sacrifice what hair she had to the claims of literature?
15546Could she trust these men?
15546Did they come in that way?
15546Did you ever hear of a beast talking, Ernest, except in a fable?"
15546Do n''t you remember him?
15546Do not you see that we can make our fortune with chocolate creams?
15546Do you prefer it?"
15546Everybody said that she had best earned the distinction; for had she not come to the meeting by the longest way possible, by going away from it?
15546Had Solomon John been telegraphed to?
15546Had he come to Bordeaux with them?
15546Have you got something slam- bang for me?
15546How can we look at the sun?
15546How could they ever get into the parlor again, unless they were eaten up?
15546How had Agamemnon reached them?
15546How had they got in?
15546How many did she expect?
15546How, then, can we depend upon their statements, if not made from their own observation?--I mean, if they never saw the sun?
15546How, then, if we can not look at it, can we find out about it?
15546If she is dead, indeed, how can he?
15546If they went as far as Nijninovgorod, which was now decided upon, why could they not persevere through"Russia in Asia"?
15546In my two hands I can hold fourteen; now, how many times that do you suppose there are in the room?"
15546Is the Governor coming here?
15546Might not something be done by way of farewell before leaving for Egypt?
15546Mr. Dyer was a poor man; why should not he make a little money?
15546Of what use had the Noah''s Ark been?
15546Oh, wo n''t the men let us this new thing use?
15546Perhaps she had better give it up?
15546Peterkin?"
15546Questions and answers interrupted each other in a most confusing manner:--"Are you the little boys?"
15546She could fall in but once, but by the time they should reach Egypt, how many would be left out of a family of eight?
15546Should Jedidiah charge for the show, or not?
15546Should she now find herself on the back of one of those high camels?
15546Should they then meet Solomon John at the Pnyx, or summon him to Egypt?
15546The chariot and four( that means horses), the maid, and the boot- hooks,--no, the maid was scratched out,--not the chocolates?"
15546The little boys, however, said there always had been maple sugar every spring,--they had eaten it; why should n''t there be this spring?
15546The sight was indeed a welcome one to Mrs. Peterkin, and revived her so that she even began to ask questions:"Where had he come from?
15546Their return train was 3.30; how could 5 P.M. help them?
15546They supposed they had; but would they ever reach the vessel in New York?
15546They were all together; why not go home?
15546To whom, however, would she wish to send a telegram?
15546Was China invented at that time?
15546Was he Chufu or Shufu, and why Cheops?
15546Was it possible?
15546Was it they who had locked the door?
15546Was not this a snare to entice her into one of these narrow passages?
15546Were there three Solomon Johns?
15546Were they Peterkins, or were they not?"
15546Were they ready now to give up Plymouth?
15546What could be better?
15546What did the Governor say?"
15546What had become of the body of Chufu?
15546What had delayed them?
15546What have you seen?
15546What was it you told mother?"
15546What woman would know How to make the thing go?
15546When had Elizabeth Eliza seen him last?
15546Where could one find boot- buttoners enough?
15546Where indeed?
15546Where is Solomon John?"
15546Where was Solomon John?
15546Where were the other little boys?
15546Where would you keep your chariot and the four horses?"
15546Who was he?
15546Why had Mr. Dyer ever been so generous with his potatoes?
15546Why had he invited all the people to come?
15546Why had n''t they?
15546Why not have a pocket for the case in the umbrella?
15546Why not make their proposed excursion to the cousins at Gooseberry Beach, which they had been planning all summer?
15546Why not stop there, though there were some pages more?
15546Why should it not be a fancy ball?
15546Why should not they take their luncheon- basket across some ferry?
15546Would any of them be alive?
15546Would it be necessary for her to wish that Ben Sykes''s neck should be made shorter?
15546Would it not be better to remain in the ship, go back to Southampton, perhaps meet Elizabeth Eliza there, picking up Mr. Peterkin at Malta on the way?
15546Would not this be a good chance to have their photographs taken for their friends before leaving for Egypt?
15546Would the name be spelled right in the newspapers?
15546and where were the other little boys?
15546exclaimed Mr. Peterkin;"and how do you spell it?"
15546instead of those wearisome thorns, my dear, Those wearisome thorns?"
21463A storm brewing, is there?
21463And are you going too, Captain Jan Dunck?
21463And now where shall we go?
21463And so you say that one- eyed Pieter threatened to bring me to justice?
21463And what about our portmanteaus and umbrellas? 21463 And what is your opinion, Count Funnibos?"
21463And what luggage shall we require?
21463And where is your companion?
21463And, hilloa, look up there at those gnats or moths, or what are they, fluttering about the light?
21463Are you a spirit from the vasty deep, or have you risen from the nether world?
21463Are you prepared to see what you shall see?
21463Are you yourself, or are you a ghost?
21463But are you aware, Count,said the skipper,"that the Zuyder Zee can roll and tumble in no gentle fashion?
21463But how are they to get to that other place?
21463But how are we to see the world unless we go round it?
21463But if she comes with a_ posse comitatus_asked the Baron;"what shall we do then?"
21463But is that actually the Helder I see before me?
21463But must we go by sea?
21463But my friend and companion, Baron Stilkin, what will become of him?
21463But should n''t I take my slippers?
21463But suppose it should blow one day in one direction and another in the opposite, how shall we ever get to the end of our voyage?
21463But suppose,he added aloud,"no violin is to be found in this rural district, how can you obtain one?"
21463But what about this head- piece?
21463But where shall we go?
21463But you do not mean to say that you ever get overtaken?
21463But, my dear Count, have you seen them lately?
21463Ca n''t you cut the rigging, my friends?
21463Can it be? 21463 Can the dykes have been burst through?"
21463Certainly, the idea is an excellent one,said?
21463Could n''t we manage to make our way through some of the numerous canals which I have heard intersect Holland in all directions?
21463Could n''t we stop and get some of the birds?
21463Could not we just see one country first, then another, and another, and so on? 21463 Could not we keep on the land, and then we shall be independent of the wind?"
21463Dinner is it you want?
21463Do Dutch skippers generally treat their crews in the way Captain Jan Dunck has treated poor Pieter?
21463Food is it you want?
21463Has anything been heard of the other stranger?
21463How did you escape?
21463How long are we likely to remain here, Captain Jan Dunck?
21463How shall we travel?
21463How soon are we likely to get into the Zuyder Zee?
21463I am right, am I not, friend mariner?
21463I have got you, Mynheer, have I?
21463I suppose there''s something to be seen there?
21463In what direction shall we go?
21463In what direction shall we next bend our steps?
21463Is that a mop- stick with clothes hung on it?
21463Is there no chance for poor Pieter?
21463Is this a fit place in which to thrust a gentleman?
21463Is this the way boats always move over the water?
21463My dear Baron,said the Count, after he had made a profound bow to the lady,"how did your son manage to make up his mind?"
21463My dear Count, do n''t you know that we can not possibly get round the world unless we go by sea?
21463My dear Count, do you think I should be so uncourteous as not to eat a second to keep you company?
21463Now, Count, in what direction shall we next bend our steps?
21463Now, my dear Baron, what do you say-- shall we continue our journey, or again pay our respects to the estimable family of Van Are nt?
21463Now,whispered the Baron,"shall I sing, or will you commence an air on your violin?"
21463Oh tell me, brave sailor, when are we likely to get to the Helder?
21463Peter the Great, ah, I have heard of him; how long did he live here?
21463Pieter, my brave friend, will you stand by us?
21463So you want me to carry you across the lake-- is that it?
21463Then it is the Vrouw Isabelle on whom your regards are fixed?
21463Then you say you know nothing about the so- called Count Funnibos?
21463Then, most gallant sailors, will you have the kindness to inform us what ship is likely next to sail from this port, and whither is she bound?
21463To which of the fair ladies, may I ask?
21463To whom do you protest,asked the skipper,"to me or my crew?
21463Walking along, what does he mean? 21463 What are we going to do now?"
21463What are you about there?
21463What business have you on board here?
21463What can have become of them?
21463What can have happened?
21463What do you say to Mynheer Bunckum? 21463 What do you say, worthy mariner?"
21463What is going to happen?
21463What is it, Captain?
21463What is out there?
21463What is that discovery, may I ask?
21463What is the matter?
21463What is to be done with him? 21463 What shall we do with ourselves, my dear Stilkin?"
21463What sort of a person is Mynheer Bunckum?
21463What''s that your talking about?
21463What''s the matter, Captain,exclaimed the Count, in an agitated voice;"is there any danger?"
21463What''s the stout gentleman talking about?
21463What, are you Captain Jan Dunck?
21463What, did you not dine at Hoorn?
21463What, do n''t you know me?
21463What, my dear Count, is it you yourself?
21463What, whose voice is that?
21463When shall we set out?
21463When shall we start?
21463Where are you bound for?
21463Where did it come from?
21463Where do you come from, where do you want to go?
21463Who are you, and what do you want?
21463Who are you, and whence do you come?
21463Who are you, may I ask?
21463Who are you, who thus, in so unseemly a way, ventures to disturb the quiet of our abode?
21463Who are you?
21463Who can that be?
21463Who could that have been?
21463Who do you think is master of this ship? 21463 Who have you got in tow there?"
21463Why did n''t you keep a better look- out?
21463Why did you hide? 21463 Why have you come?
21463Why, what has become of the wind?
21463Will not you, Vrouw Margaret, have pity on me? 21463 Will that satisfy you, Count?
21463Will you go along quietly?
21463Will you?
21463You do, do you, noble sir?
21463Are you keeping your weather eye open?"
21463At last the Baron managed to say,"Ca- a- a- p- tain, i- i- i- i- sn''t there a harbour into which we can put till this storm is over?"
21463Baron Stilkin?"
21463By- the- by, could we not manage to engage a balloon?
21463Can it be our former shipmate?"
21463Could n''t you manage to keep the galiot quiet, just to please me?"
21463Did you ever hear the old song?
21463Do you feel disposed to go on shore and survey its advantages?"
21463How is that?"
21463However, is it absolutely necessary to go all the way round the world?
21463I only hope that there are no venomous snakes; but, by the by, how am I ever to get out again?
21463Is it you, yourself?"
21463Now where shall we carry him to?
21463Oh dear me, what shall I do?"
21463Suppose I put you on shore on the island of Marken?
21463Suppose we change the subject, and when the nuptials are over, what do you say to setting out again on our travels?
21463The Count, for the moment, was too much astonished to do anything, but stood with arms uplifted exclaiming,"My dear Baron, what has happened?
21463Was it possible?
21463We shall, I hope, be favoured by your presence, Count Funnibos?"
21463What are you about to do with him?
21463What can I do?
21463What could have induced him to play such a trick?"
21463What do you think of an iceberg a mile long, two or three hundred feet high?
21463What has become of all the provisions you shipped, may I ask?"
21463What shall we do with him if we catch him?"
21463What shall we do with him?
21463What then will you say for yourselves?
21463What''s to hinder us?
21463When, Captain, do you think we shall reach Rotterdam?"
21463Where are the keys?"
21463Where can he have gone?
21463Why hast thou come, thou enemy of science?
21463Will you accompany me?"
21463Will you not interfere to save me from this cruel indignity?"
21463Will you speak to them or shall I?"
21463You want to be landed, do you?
21463asked the Count, brightening up;"next year?"
21463do ships walk?"
21463have you anything to say to me?
21463into the North Sea, did you say?"
21463what for?"
21463what is happening?"
21463what will become of them?"
21463why, do n''t we see it by looking out of the window?"
39340''Course he did; why should n''t he? 39340 ''Tain''t Christmas, what''s the horrid row?
39340A little bit of chicken and bread- sauce done with broiled bacon-- at least I think so, dear-- why do you ask?
39340An''nen I says,''How can I be dood? 39340 And how do you come to have them all?"
39340And what did you buy with your half- crown?
39340And what do they yub on them when they do n''t fight bravely?
39340And what is his name?
39340And who may the young gentleman be?
39340And who may you be, little boy?
39340And why not?
39340And why?
39340And you know I remembered last night when I was lying awake that Catherine would have done this----"What Catherine?
39340Anybody might have seen you, and then what would they think?
39340Are you afraid?
39340Are you catching cold with the draught, Hugh John?
39340Are you not coming?
39340But did you ever hear such rot?
39340But look here, how are we to get back Donald unless we split? 39340 But suppose, father, that there was some one always there to see that they did behave, would you mind?"
39340But tell me, Toady Lion,she went on,"does Hugh John like going to church, and being washed, and things?"
39340But you won''t-- will you, dear Toady Lion?
39340But,said Prissy,"perhaps you forgot that a soft answer turneth away wrath?"
39340By the way, what is your name? 39340 Can I have the biggest and nicerest saucer of the scrapings of the preserving- pan to- night?"
39340Could n''t you say it now?
39340Course I would,agreed his officer,"do n''t you know that''s what generals are for?"
39340Course she does,sneered Napoleon;"think she''s out screeching like that for fun?
39340Did I not tell you not to go to the orchard?
39340Did n''t the fool ride a horse?
39340Did you call names at my mother?
39340Did you strike this boy to- day in front of his mother''s gate?
39340Did''oo find the funny fing behind the stable, Hugh John?
39340Do field- marshals_ all_ smell like that?
39340Do get me some mustard, Janet,he said, swinging his wet legs;"and where on earth have you put the pickles?"
39340Do n''t you know that''s the stuff they rub on the wounded when they have fought bravely? 39340 Do n''t you think the town''s people would if you gave them the sixpences all for themselves?"
39340Do n''t you think we should have the other children here?
39340Do n''t''oo know? 39340 Do you know me?"
39340Do you remember what you once made me say here, Cissy?
39340Do you take sugar?
39340Does Prissy have any of-- the missionary money?
39340Eh, what?
39340Father--she went a little nearer to him and stroked the cuff of his coat- sleeve--"does the land beyond the bridge belong to you?"
39340Father,she said at last,"you do n''t really want to keep people out of the castle altogether, do you?"
39340Get away out of my field, little boy-- where are you going? 39340 Go''way, Lepronia Lovell,"growled Billy;"do n''t you see that this is the young lady that cured my dog?"
39340Have you got a match- box?
39340Heavens and earth, Master Hugh-- what be you doing here? 39340 Hello,"cried Hugh John jovially,"at it already?"
39340How could you tell such a whopper? 39340 How different?"
39340I declare,she cried,"can you not give the poor little boy what he wants?
39340I say, Ashwell Major,he said,"about that Good Conduct Prize-- who are you going to vote for?"
39340Is n''t there something somewhere about helping the fatherless and the widow?
39340Is which? 39340 Jane,"he said to Mrs. Carter,"what does Cissy like most of all for supper?"
39340Just a little one to be going on with?
39340Just once?
39340Little girl,he said very gravely,"who has been putting all this into your head?
39340My wee man,she said,"what have they done to you?"
39340No, Prissy,he said wonderingly,"but what do you know about such things?"
39340No,said Toady Lion sadly;"do n''t you know?
39340Now speak up, Soulis,said General Smith;"I ask you would it be dasht- mean?"
39340Now, what''s all this?
39340One lump or two?
39340Say, chaps, did you hear her? 39340 So am I,"retorted Napoleon Smith sternly;"if I was n''t, do you think I would listen at all to your beastly old poetry?
39340Sodjers-- where?--what?
39340Sulky, hey?
39340Thank you,he said;"are you sure that the children are out?"
39340Then why does n''t_ it_ say so?
39340Then,answered Prissy,"would n''t it be all the nicer of you if you were to stop first?"
39340They ca n''t be at the castle all the time,said Billy;"why not let my mates and me go in before they get there?
39340This little boy wants to go on the island to find his brother,said the clergyman;"I suppose I may pass through your field with him?"
39340WILL YE SAY NOW THAT THE CASTLE IS YOUR FATHER''S?
39340Well, billies,he cried jovially,"what do you think?
39340Well, little girl, what is it? 39340 Well, sir, and what is this I hear?"
39340Well, what do you want?
39340Well, what is it? 39340 Well, what is the meaning of this?"
39340Well,said Cissy genially,"and what did you buy?"
39340Well?
39340Well?
39340What are n''t ready?
39340What are you going to do?
39340What did I tell you?
39340What did I understand you to say, little boy?
39340What in the world does he mean?
39340What is his other name?
39340What is it?
39340What is the matter with that boy? 39340 What now?"
39340What other?
39340What were you doing with my cannon?
39340What''s all this, I say-- you?
39340What''s that?
39340What''s this-- what''s this?
39340What''s''decision of character''when he''s at home?
39340When they what?
39340Where did you get all those nice new cannons? 39340 Who asked you to come here anyway to meddle with us?
39340Who found him?
39340Who''s afraid? 39340 Who''s touching your father?"
39340Who''s up there?
39340Who? 39340 Why did you tell the beak''s daughter your name, Bill, you blooming Johnny?"
39340Why do you want to go to the castle island?
39340Why is''oo so moppy?
39340Why, Hugh John,she cried,"have you really come?
39340Why, the same as his father of course, lass-- what else?
39340Wif my half- a- crown? 39340 Will_ you_ say''I love you, Cissy''?"
39340Yes, father; were you calling me, father?
39340You do n''t remember that either, I suppose?
39340You know that I did n''t come to spy or find out anything, do n''t you?
39340A rumble of wheels, a shout from the front door--"Hugh John-- wherever can that boy have got to?"
39340After all what save valour was worth living for?
39340After all, what did it matter about girls?
39340And he say,''What you doing there, little boy?
39340Are you sure there is no mistake?"
39340Besides, there are some dee- licious fruits which I have brought you; and if you will let me come in, I will make you some lovely tea?"
39340Besides, who''s to wash him first off, and him in a temper like that?"
39340But did General Napoleon stop to go to the schoolroom for clean ones?
39340But observing no gleam of fellow- feeling in his quondam comrade''s eyes, he added somewhat lamely,"I mean how do you do, Miss-- Miss Carter?"
39340But what use did they make of these god- like gifts?
39340By hokey, wo n''t I take this out of him with a wicket?
39340Could n''t he say grace?
39340Could there indeed be such dainties in the world?
39340Could this thing be?
39340Could''oo be dood wif all that sand in''oo trowsies?''
39340Did Sambo not wear a red coat?
39340Did n''t he remember the beginning?
39340Did they play with"real- real trains,"drawn by locomotives of shining brass?
39340Did ye think I was doon at Edam Cross?
39340Did you ever meet them at the tuck- shop down in the town buying fourteen cheese- cakes for a shilling, as any sensible person would?
39340Did you find it, or did some one give it to you?"
39340Did you think it was Blythe?"
39340Did''oo ever get sand in''oo trowsies, Cissy?"
39340Do n''t you see he is bashful before so many people?"
39340Do you hear-- you?"
39340Do you hear?"
39340Do you like to go to church?''
39340Do you take sugar in your tea?"
39340Does''oo fink so, Cissy?"
39340Drowned in the Edam Water-- killed by a chance blow in the great battle-- or simply hiding from fear of punishment and afraid to venture home?
39340For how could a Justice of the Peace and a future Member of Parliament demean himself to wink?
39340Had Mike or Peter?
39340Had Sammy Carter?
39340Has anybody told you to come to me about this?"
39340He owns the town, does he?
39340How do we know that you are n''t a spy?"
39340How much money had you, did you say?"
39340How were they to reach it?
39340Hugh John-- him?"
39340If that were Toady Lion''s attitude, how would it be with the enthusiastic Cissy Carter?
39340Is n''t it a beauty?
39340It would make him sick, Hugh John thought; but after all, what was a fellow to do?
39340May I sometimes, father?"
39340O- HO, JANE HOUSEMAID, WILL YOU TELL MY FATHER THE NEXT TIME I TAKE YOUR DUST SCOOP?"]
39340O- ho, Jane Housemaid, will you tell my father the next time I take your dust scoop out to the sand- hole to help dig trenches?
39340Of course he knew all about that, but would they join?
39340Oh, our father is the owner of this property, is he?
39340Oh, stone- broke,"laughed Cissy Carter, sitting down beside Toady Lion;"who taught you to say that word?"
39340Oh, the dear, dear lamb that he is; and will thae auld e''en never mair rest on his bonnie face?
39340Priscilla beamed gratefully upon her critic, and proceeded--"_ He rides him forth across the sand_----""Who rides whom?"
39340She turned away, calling over her shoulder to Cissy,"Can I tell your fortune, pretty lady?"
39340Smith?"
39340Smith?"
39340So no one contradicted him, and, indeed, who had a better right to know?
39340That was n''t fair, was it?"
39340There was yet another who rode in a mail- cart, and puckered up his face upon being addressed in a strange foreign language, as"Was- it- then?
39340There-- will that satisfy you?"
39340Thought you hurt, did n''t you?
39340Want to get knocked endways?"
39340Was Sambo not black?
39340Was n''t it nice of him?"
39340Were they not as gods, knowing good and evil?
39340Were they not rather on the side of the Smoutchies?
39340What are you doing there?"
39340What business have you in our castle?
39340What can I do for you?"
39340What did grown- ups know anyway?
39340What do ye want, callant, that ye deafen my auld lugs like that?
39340What does he want with that one too?"
39340What is it?
39340What is the matter, Arthur George?"
39340What then of Toady Lion?
39340What''s the matter, Grip?
39340What, then, could be clearer?
39340Whatever will I say to his faither when he comes hame?
39340Whatever will master say?"
39340When the dust finally cleared away, Peter was found sitting astride of Prince Michael, and shouting,"Are you the general- major, or am I?"
39340Where could he be?
39340Where ha''e ye been, and what ha''e ye done to these twa bairns?
39340Who else could have done that thing?
39340Who invited you into our parks?
39340Who is the youngest?"
39340Whom shall I ask for if you are not about to- morrow?"
39340Why ca n''t we all be nice together?
39340Why should not they against the son of that Smith and his allies?
39340Why should these glorious creations deign to notice him-- shining blades, shouldered arms, flashing bayonets, white pipe- clayed belts?
39340Why then plunder them now?
39340Will you allow me to conduct you across the policies by the shorter way?
39340Will''oo forgive me?"
39340Would it not be all right to split just to get Donald back?"
39340Would they never end?
39340You can have my ivory Prayer- book----""For keeps?"
39340[ Illustration:"''WASN''T IT SPLENDID?''"]
39340cried Prissy,"how could you?
39340ejaculated Hugh John, doubling his fist;"did you ever hear such rot?
39340he cried,"what''oo fink?
39340he demanded in his quick way--"Cissy and your son been fighting?"
39340roared his officer;"do n''t you know enough to salute when you speak to me?
39340said his chief;"who asked for your oar?
39340the herald angels sing, Glory to the new- born King, Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled._""What is''weconciled''?"
