37955Where would or could she be sent?
37955Who was Mary herself, that she should withstand one whom she felt to be the best as well as the cleverest man she had ever known?
37955Who would have imagined this?...
37955Whose was this child?
37955Why can not I be with you, to cheer you and press you to my heart?
37955Why should flowers be sent to you?
37955Why should your prime of youthful vigour be tarnished and made wretched by what relates to me?
37955Why will Godwin not follow the obvious bent of his affections, and be reconciled to us?
37955Will it serve for our spring adventure?
37955Will this hot summer conduce to a better state or not?
37955Will you attend to my requests?
37955Yet what shall I write?
37955You know Shelley, you saw his face, and could you believe them?
37955You say nothing of the late arrest, and what may be the consequences, and may they not detain you?
37955You will say, shall we neglect taking a house-- a dear home?
37955[ 46]_ Monday, February 25._--What a mart this world is?
37955_ Is all this true?_ Not a little amused, Mary answered her friend as follows-- PISA,_ 7th March 1822_.
37955and how are you, and how do you get on with your book?
37955and may you not be detained many months?
37955and what are you doing?
37955and your own poem-- have you fixed on a name?
37955dearest, is it so?
37955if there was a sacrifice in her power to make for him, was not that the greatest joy, the greatest honour that life could have in store for her?
37955my love, you have no friends; why, then, should you be torn from the only one who has affection for you?
37955or is she coming?
37955or was she to be conveniently forgotten and left behind?
37955or where is it?
37955that time is a weight to me?
37955when shall we see you again?
37955why could no presentiment warn them of impending calamity?
15045''And art thou dead? 15045 ''And did she ever get out of jail again, Sir?''
15045''And pray what became of her, Sir?'' 15045 ''And, for heaven''s sake, how came you to know her?''
15045''Bet Flint,''cried Mrs. Thrale;''pray who is she?'' 15045 ''But surely,''said Mrs. Thrale,''if you fail, you will think yourself bound in honour to marry her yourself?''
15045''What''s that you say, Madam?'' 15045 ''Why do you delight,''said he,''thus to thicken the gloom of misery that surrounds me?
15045Are they not charming?
15045But can this be possible? 15045 But once again: I am guardian to five girls; agreed: will this connection prejudice their bodies, souls, or purse?
15045But who is this astride the pony, So long, so lean, so lank, so bony? 15045 During a moment he then fixed upon her an interrogative eye, that impetuously demanded:''Do you not perceive the change I am experiencing?''
15045I then said,''Do you ever, Sir, hear, from her mother?'' 15045 Mr. Thrale talks now of going to Spa and Italy again; how shall we drag him thither?
15045My poor little boy from Lombardy said as I walked him across our market,''These are sheeps''heads, are they not, aunt? 15045 Susan and Sophy said nothing at all, but they taught the two young ones to cry''Where are you going, mama?
15045What restraint can he mean? 15045 What then, Sir, becomes of Demosthenes''saying, Action, action, action?"
15045What was my marriage, Sir, to_ you_ or_ him?__ He_ tell me what to do!--a pretty whim! 15045 Will it do this way in English, Sir?
15045_ Boswell_.--But suppose now, Sir, that one of your intimate friends were apprehended for an offence for which he might be hanged? 15045 _ Boswell_.--Would you eat your dinner that day, Sir?
15045_ Who_ would have said a word about Sam''s wig, Or told the story of the peas and pig? 15045 _ Who_, from M''Donald''s rage to save his snout, Cut twenty lines of defamation out?"
15045_ Who_, madd''ning with an anecdotic itch, Declar''d that Johnson call''d his mother_ b- tch?_MADAME PIOZZI.
15045''But where,''cries Cuzzona,''is the loaf I spoke for?''
15045''Harry,''said his father to her son,''are you listening to what the doctor and mamma are talking about?''
15045''How''s this?''
15045''Is she indeed?''
15045''Nor write to me?''
15045''What for, Ma''am?''
15045''What, the little Sophy!--and why?''
15045''Why what can_ he_ fear,''says Baretti, placing himself between''em,''that holds two such hands as I do?''
15045''Why, Sir,''said the old man,''why should not Flea bite o''me be treated as Phlebotomy?
15045''Why, who did write it, Sir?''
15045''Would you tell your friend to make him unhappy?''

15045----?''
15045A pretty world, is it not?
15045And are you not delighted with his gaiety of manners and youthful vivacity now that he is eighty- six years old?
15045And quoth Mr. Thrale,''What are they saying?''
15045And what is to become of me, my lord, who feel myself actually disgraced?"
15045And who would feed with the poor that can help it?
15045Are you acquainted with Dr. Lee, the master of Baliol College?
15045Boswell''s book is coming out, and the wits expect me to tremble: what will the fellow say?
15045But a better reason is given by Mrs. Thrale:"I asked him why he doated on a coach so?
15045But what signifies it?
15045Can it injure their fortunes?
15045Che tagliare speranze Ben tutto si puo, Per piaceri goduti Oh, questo poi no?
15045Conway?"
15045Could they have done so, had they tried?
15045Could you have a better purveyor for a little scandal?
15045Dear Lady Mary, prythee tell Why thus by loving him too well You kill your Pacchierotti?
15045Do tossing and goring come within the definition of severity?
15045Do you respect a rope- dancer or a ballad- singer?"
15045Does mother- love its charge prepare?
15045Had Johnson forgotten Swift''s lines on Celia?
15045Hannah More met him during this visit to Oxford, and writes, June 13th, 1782:"Who do you think is my principal cicerone at Oxford?
15045Has he cut his own throat?''
15045He is the man in the world, I think, whom I most abhor, and who_ hates_ and_ professes_ to_ hate me_ the most; but what does that signifie?
15045Her answer was,''To please the gentlemen, to be sure; for what other purpose could it be given me?"
15045How do we know that these circumstances really belong to it?
15045How shall I get through?
15045How shall I get through?
15045How shall any man deserve fortune, if he does not?
15045How, indeed, could they be restrained?"
15045I asked him why?
15045I have always sacrificed my own choice to that of others, so I must sacrifice it again: but why?
15045I will draw in my expenses, lay by every shilling I can to pay off debts and mortgages, and perhaps-- who knows?
15045If I accustom a servant to tell a lie for me, have I not reason to apprehend that he will tell many lies for himself?"
15045If I bring children by him, must they not be Catholics, and must not I live among people the_ ritual_ part of whose religion I disapprove?
15045In May 17, 1773:"Why should Mr. T---- suppose, that what I took the liberty of suggesting was concerted with you?
15045In birth?
15045In the Conway Notes, she says:"Had we vexations enough?
15045In understanding?
15045In virtue?
15045In what is he below me?
15045In"Pretty Tory, where''s the jest To wear that riband on thy breast, When that same breast betraying shows The whiteness of the rebel rose?"
15045Is he dumb?
15045Is he upon oath in narrating an anecdote?
15045Is it my fault or theirs?"
15045Is it the true one?
15045Is not the man of whom I desire protection, a foreigner?
15045It does?
15045James Boswell, what''s_ that world_ to_ me?_ The folks who paid respects to Mistress Thrale, Fed on her pork, poor souls!
15045Levet, I suppose, Sir, has the office of keeping the hospital in health?
15045Merit, Sir, what merit?
15045Miss Seward writes to Mrs. Knowles, April, 1788:"And now what say you to the last publication of your sister wit, Mrs. Piozzi?
15045On the other hand, is his life a good one?
15045Opposite Boswell''s account of this incident she has written,"Was he not right in hating to be so treated?
15045Or what becomes of damage and divorces?"]
15045Piozzi_?
15045Shall we ever exchange confidence by the fireside again?"
15045She has written opposite these lines,"Whose fun was this?
15045She would not have been"mortally afraid of the Doctor''s coming,"if she had already thrown him off and finally broken with him?
15045She writes opposite:"Whose silly fun was this?
15045Smile with the simple!--what folly is that?

15045The exclamation"When shall I revisit Streatham?"
15045The lack of literary and public interest is admitted and excused:[ Footnote 1:"Do you keep my letters?
15045The most galling was in a letter of hers to Dr. Johnson:"How does Dr. Taylor do?
15045Thrale_.--But how do you get your dinners drest?
15045Was I not fortunate to see myself once quit of a man like this?
15045Was then the man my mother chose for me of higher extraction than him I have chosen for myself?
15045We are not_ people of fashion_ though you know, nor at all rich; so how should we set fashions for our betters?
15045Were I not sensible of her goodness, and full of incurable affection for her, should I not be a monster?
15045What friends can I have in London?
15045What shall I do?"
15045What shall we do for him?
15045What''s the meaning of this?
15045What, however, is my state?
15045When a Lincolnshire lady, shewing Johnson a grotto, asked him:"Would it not be a pretty cool habitation in summer?"
15045When the Duchess of Montespan asked the famous Louison D''Arquien, by way of insult, as she pressed too near her,''_ Comment alloit le metier_?''
15045When the bonny blade carouses, Pockets full, and spirits high-- What are acres?
15045Where have you lived?
15045Who did you know in Litchfield in your youth?
15045Who would have told a tale so very flat, Of Frank the Black, and Hodge the mangy cat?"
15045Why Croker- like curiosity?
15045Why how do they manage without?
15045Why is it worse than viper''s sting, To see them clap, or hear her sing?
15045Why is it, that whatever you see, and whoever you see, you are to be so indiscriminately lavish of praise?''
15045Why should they not have a cherry, or a gooseberry, as well as bigger children?''
15045Why the full opera should he shun?
15045Will his company or companions corrupt their morals?
15045Will it not, Sir?"
15045Will you send me anything better from Oxford than this?
15045Would it not be painful to owe his appearance of regard more to his honour than his love?
15045Would not that make one laugh two hours before one''s own death?
15045Yet nothing she could say could put a stop to,"How can you defend her in this?
15045You bid me study that book in your absence, and now, what have I found?
15045[ 1] When shall I revisit Streatham?"
15045[ Footnote 1:"Pray, Doctor, said a gentleman to Johnson, is Mr. Thrale a man of conversation, or is he only wise and silent?''

15045and would he not have been right to have loved me better than any of them, because I never did make a Lyon of him?"
15045cried Mrs. Thrale,''how can all these vagabonds contrive to get at_ you_, of all people?''
15045cried he;''are you making mischief between the young lady and me already?''
15045cried one of her consolers,''are you ill?
15045cries the child,''_ is she dead?_''He sung an easy song, and the baby exclaimed,''Ah, Sir!

15045is she not better and happier with me than she can be anywhere else?

15045or the repudiation of the divine nature by Ermodotus, which occurs twice in Plutarch?
15045this will indeed be a tryal of one''s patience; and who must go with us on this expedition?

15045unskilled in the laws and language of our country?
15045what are houses?
15045what essential difference do they make?

37956All parties seem now writing in his favour, and the papers are full of his praise....How do you think I have been employing myself?
37956Who is to be our audience?
37956***** What says the world to Moore''s_ Lord Byron_?
37956*****_ Au revoir!_ To what am I reserved?
37956Absorbed in my own thoughts, what am I then in this world if my spirit live not to learn and become better?
37956Adieu.--Your attached friend, M. W. S. Have you got my books on shore from the_ Bolivar_?
37956Am I right?
37956Am I to close the eyes of our boy, and then join you?
37956Amidst so much that is beautiful and imaginative and exalting, why leave spots which, believe me, are blemishes?
37956And I begin again?
37956And I must return without a bosom intimate?
37956And I, am I not melancholy?
37956And now the chapter about myself is finished, for what can I say of my present life?
37956And now, what news?...
37956And what are the consequences of the change?
37956And why is this?
37956Any one,--and with all this do you think that I shall marry?
37956Are not you a little too enthusiastic in believing that writers can be much improved by studying my writings?
37956Are you sure that you can get an attachéship?
37956As Hunt has, slurring over the real truth?
37956As to theatres, etc., how can a"lone woman"think of such things?
37956At seventy years of age, what is there worth living for?
37956Autunno bello fosti allora, ed ora bello terribile, malinconico ci sei, ed io, dove sono?
37956But can I express all I feel?
37956But for his smiles, where should I now be?
37956But have I not done so all my life?
37956But have we only discovered each other to lament that we are not united?
37956But how can I aspire to that?
37956But where are the snows of yester- year?
37956But who can control his fate?
37956But who may ignore such things in peace?
37956By what do the fragments cling together?
37956By whom be conquered?
37956Can I forget our evening visits to Diodati?
37956Can I give words to thoughts and feelings that, as a tempest, hurry me along?
37956Can such things be, and overcome us like a summer cloud, without our special wonder?...
37956Can you not get some one to call upon him to ask about the manuscript, and to propose it to some bookseller?
37956Chi lo sa?
37956Cosa vuoi che lo dico?_...
37956Could any but yourself have destroyed such engrossing and passionate love?
37956Could any woman be as lonely?
37956Dear Jane, can I render you happier than you are?
37956Dearest, why is my spirit thus losing all energy?
37956Did Fletcher mention this to you?
37956Do pray tell me Blue Bag''s name,( for what is a man without a name?
37956Do they not all with one voice assert the same?
37956Do you approve of this?
37956Do you go to Greece?
37956Do you remember the day you made that quotation from Shakespeare in our living room at Pisa?
37956Do you remember, when delivering the killing news, you awoke Jane, as Othello awakens Desdemona from her sleep on the sofa?
37956Do you think that I have not felt, that I do not feel all this?
37956Do you think there is any opening among the demagogues for me?
37956Does Hunt stay at Genoa the summer, and what does Lord Byron determine on?
37956Further, is it not rather one of Wilhelm''s kind speeches than of the Uncle''s or the Fair Saint''s?
37956Has any professional man ever been consulted on the subject?
37956Have I a cold heart?
37956Have I any other news for you?
37956Have not people who did not know you taken you for a cunning person?
37956Have you any MS. of Shelley''s or Byron''s to fill up the eight or ten I left blank?
37956Have you ever seen such a presence?
37956Have you given up all idea of shooting?
37956Have you heard from poor dear Clare?
37956Have you heard of Medwin''s book?
37956Have you received the volume of poems?
37956Have you seen Clare?
37956Have you seen Hazlitt''s notes of his travels?
37956Have you seen a book written by a man named Millingen?
37956He said,"Would a month hence do?
37956How are all yours-- Henry and the rest?
37956How are your dogs?
37956How can I, even if it were true?
37956How change my destiny?
37956How could you copy a letter to that"agreeable, unaffected woman, Mrs. Shelley,"without saying a word from yourself to your loving...?
37956How is_ Occhi Turchini_, Thornton the reformed, Johnny the-- what Johnny?
37956How long do you think I shall live?
37956How many have come out?
37956How many, it may be asked, were conscious of any blank when the news reached them that Shelley had been"accidentally drowned"?
37956How was she to write now in such a tone as to avert an answer of that sort?
37956How would you relate them?
37956I do not doubt that; but when?
37956I do not know that I absolutely[ need] it here now, but may run short at last, so, if not inconvenient, will you send it next week?
37956I have been a year in England, and, ungentle England, for what have I to thank you?
37956I read, study, and write; sometimes that takes me out of myself; but to live for no one, to be necessary to none, to know that"Where is now my hope?
37956I settled that we should drive to Casa Lanfranchi, that I should get out, and ask the fearful question of Hunt,"Do you know anything of Shelley?"
37956I should not wonder if fate, without our choice, united us; and who can control his fate?
37956I staggered upstairs; the Guiccioli came to meet me, smiling, while I could hardly say,"Where is he-- Sapete alcuna cosa di Shelley?"
37956I suppose she is the reality of the story; did you know her?
37956I thought of you all-- how much?
37956Iago would never have found a better representative than that strange and wondrous creature whom one regrets daily more,--for who here can equal him?
37956If A crosses B, and C falls upon D, who can weep for that?
37956If this is only the beginning, what may be the end?
37956If you can not be independent, who should be?
37956In Shelley''s words, slightly varied,"How should slaves produce anything but idleness, even as the seed produces the plant?"
37956In those twenty years, what change had come over the spirit of its pages?
37956Is it not best, then, that you forget the unhappy M. W. S.?
37956Is it not so?
37956Is it not strange that so many people admire and relish Shakespeare, and that nobody writes or even attempts to write like him?
37956Is it true that his friend Ulysses is dead?
37956Is my book advertised?
37956Is not Eccelino considered as too free?
37956Is not Peacock very lukewarm and insensible in this affair?
37956Is not_ Adonais_ his own elegy?
37956Is she not a glorious being?
37956Is she not dazzling?
37956Is the instrument so utterly destroyed?
37956Is this the sand that the ever- flowing sea of thought would impress indelibly?
37956Lamb is superannuated-- do you understand?
37956Le moyen de se recontrer_ when one is bound for the North Pole and the other for the South?
37956Lord Cochrane alone can assist them-- but without vessels or money how can he acquire sufficient power?
37956MY DEAR HUNT-- Is it, or is it not, right that these few lines should be addressed to you now?
37956MY DEAR TRELAWNY-- What can you think of me and of my silence?
37956MY DEAREST POLLY-- Are you not a naughty girl?
37956Mary Shelley shall be written on my tomb,--and why?
37956Mary the merry, Irving the sober, Percy the martyr, and dear Sylvan the good?
37956Mary, is my heart human that I endure scenes like this, and live?
37956My poor girl, what do you mean to do with yourself?
37956Nothing new has happened-- what should?
37956Now, my dear friend, what do you advise?
37956Once or twice, pausing in my walk, I have exclaimed in despair,"Is it even so?"
37956One must go to H. Smith, another to me, and to whom else?
37956Pray beg Mary to tell my mother that I wrote to her on or about the 22d of August; has she had this letter?
37956Shall I desire my brother to call on you with respect to Mr. Peter in the Tower?
37956Shall I ever be a philosopher?
37956Shelley, Byron, the blue- eyed William, where were they?
37956Still, who on such a night must not feel the weight of sorrow lessened?
37956That it is but an excuse I allow; the truth would be better, but who nowadays ever thinks of speaking truth?
37956The Guiccioli is gone to Bologna--_e poi cosa farà?
37956The friendship you have for Odysseus, does that satisfy your warm heart?...
37956There is no writhing interest; nothing wonderful nor tragic-- will it be dull?
37956They knocked at the door, and some one called out,_ chi è?_ It was the Guiccioli''s maid.
37956Think you that these moments are counted in my life as in other people''s?
37956This is truly English; half a page about the weather, but here this subject has every importance; is it fine?
37956To what man of business of yours can I consign these?
37956To whom am I a neighbour?
37956To whom cede?
37956Unable to bear this horrid silence, with a convulsive effort she exclaimed--"Is there no hope?"
37956Was not her heart of hearts buried with them?
37956We can but echo Trelawny''s own words to Mary[12]--"Can such things be, and overcome us like a summer cloud, without our especial wonder?"
37956We will talk of our lost ones, and think of realising my dreams; who knows?
37956Well, what more have I to say?
37956What can I care for the parties that divide the world, or the opinions that possess it?
37956What can I do?
37956What could I answer?
37956What could it be to me?
37956What do you mean?"
37956What has my life been?
37956What have been my feelings to- day?
37956What is Hogg''s opinion?
37956What is it in the soil of this green earth that is so ill adapted to the best of its sons?
37956What is it that moves up and down in my soul, and makes me feel as if my intellect could master all but my fate?
37956What is it?
37956What is the use of republican principles and liberty if peace is not the offspring?
37956What is yet in store for me?
37956What matters it that they can not find the grave of my William?
37956What of Florence and the gallery?
37956What shall I do?
37956What should I fear?
37956What signify a few outward adversities if we find a friend at home?
37956What though I weep?
37956What were I, if I did not believe that you still exist?
37956What will become of me?
37956What will become of us, my poor girl?
37956What would one not do for that, since it is the only key of freedom?
37956What would they have done or said had their children been fond of dress, fond of cards, drunken, profligate, as most people''s children are?
37956What would you have done if you had passed through my ordeal?
37956When does Moore conclude his_ Life of Byron_?
37956When shall I hear it again spoken, when see your skies, your trees, your streams?
37956When will the ca nt and humbug of these costermonger times be reformed?
37956When will these heartrending scenes be finished?
37956Where can he be gone?"
37956Where is Jane?
37956Where is that letter in verse Shelley once wrote to you?
37956Where then was the change?
37956Where was Fanny, whose long letters had kept them informed of English affairs?
37956Wherefore write fiction?
37956Who in the world is Miss Northcote?
37956Who will allow money to Ianthe and Charles?
37956Who will undertake to, in the first place, dispose of it, and, in the second, watch its progress through the press?
37956Why am I not beneath that weed- grown tower?
37956Why am I not there?
37956Why can not you answer me, my own one?
37956Why do you not come to me?
37956Why do you not send me a number?
37956Why in this particular case should the law be set aside, which says that no man can dispose of what he has never possessed?
37956Why is this?
37956Why not come over and marry Letitia, who in consequence will be rich?
37956Why should he live in this world of pain and anguish?
37956Why then do you awaken me to thought and suffering by forcing me to explain the motives of my conduct?
37956Will not Hogg assist you?
37956Will the future never cease unrolling new shapes of misery?
37956Will this be a happy New Year?
37956Will you aid in it?
37956Will you be angry with me if I beg you to write the last scene of it?
37956Will you come over and sit for the new parliament?
37956Will you correct it?
37956Will you dine with me Monday after your ride?
37956Will you explain to me one phrase of her letter?
37956Will you give documents?
37956Will you not answer me without delay?
37956Will you not send it?
37956Will you write anecdotes?
37956Will you write soon?
37956Would it be asking too much to lend me the copy you took of my darling William''s portrait, since mine is somewhat injured?
37956Would you allow the publisher to treat with you for their being added to my edition?
37956Would you permit this part to be erased?
37956Yet where can I fall?
37956You are angry with me, but what do you ask, and what do I refuse?
37956You surely do not mean to stay in Italy?
37956_ Chi lo sa?_ We shall see.
37956_ Journal, October 26._--Time rolls on, and what does it bring?
37956_ Journal, September 3._--With what hopes did I come to England?
37956_ P.S._--Do you not guess why neither these nor those I sent you could please those you mention?
37956_ Que voulez vous?
37956_ Saturday._ DEAR MARY-- Will you tell me what sum you want, as I am settling my affairs?
37956and is Mrs. Hunt likely to recover?
37956and is it over?
37956and near whom?
37956and what influence can her death have in bettering their prospects?
37956and what new prospect was afforded her in the future by his promise of doing so now?
37956and where is Roberts?
37956as long as my mother?
37956for my hope, who shall see it?
37956how is she?
37956how write at all?
37956or have you written, and has your letter miscarried, or have not my letters reached you?
37956the good boy?
37956what are you doing?
37956what is your fate to be?
37956who is that has a noble and generous nature?
37956you guess I am happy and enjoying myself; is it as it always is?
19011Do you like London, Miss Bronte?
19011His young reverence,as you tenderly call him, is looking delicate and pale; poor thing, do n''t you pity him?
19011What''s the matter with you now?
19011Who is it, Martha?
19011''"Is there a human being,"you ask,"so depraved that an act of kindness will not touch-- nay, a word melt him?"
19011''And Thiers is set aside for a time; but wo n''t they be glad of him by- and- by?
19011''And have you seen him?''
19011''Are the London republicans, and_ you_ amongst the number, cooled down yet?
19011''Are you satisfied at Cornhill, or the contrary?
19011''At what time does Mr. Smith intend to bring the book out?
19011''At what time?
19011''Can you give me any information respecting Mr. Lewes?
19011''Can you give me any information respecting Sheridan Knowles?
19011''Can you tell me anything more on this subject?
19011''DEAR ELLEN,--Can you come here on Wednesday week( Sept. 6th)?
19011''DEAR ELLEN,--Who gravely asked you whether Miss Bronte was not going to be married to her papa''s curate?
19011''DEAR ELLEN,--You will want to know about the leave- taking?
19011''DEAR NELL,--You may well ask, how is it?
19011''Did I not say that I would have gone to this theatre and witnessed this exhibition if it had been in my power?
19011''Did I tell you that our poor little Flossy is dead?
19011''Did your son Frank call on Mrs. Gaskell?
19011''Do you not think, my dear Miss Wooler, that you could come to Haworth before you go to the coast?
19011''Do you think in a few weeks it will be possible for you to come to see me?
19011''Do you think this book will tend to strengthen the idea that Currer Bell is a woman, or will it favour a contrary opinion?
19011''Have I lectured enough?
19011''Have I told you how much better Mr. Nicholls is?
19011''Have you lit your pipe with Mr. Weightman''s valentine?''
19011''Have you not two classes of writers-- the author and the bookmaker?
19011''How are you getting on, dear Nell, and how are all at Brookroyd?
19011''How are_ you_?
19011''How could my dear friend so cruelly disappoint me?
19011''How could you imagine your last letter offended me?
19011''How did you get on at the Oratorio?
19011''How has your tic been lately?
19011''How is_ Shirley_ getting on, and what is now the general feeling respecting the work?
19011''I read your letter with dismay, Ellen-- what shall I do without you?
19011''Is the first chapter disgusting or vulgar?
19011''Is the forthcoming critique on Mr. Thackeray''s writings in the_ Edinburgh Review_ written by Mr. Lewes?
19011''Is the morning slow in coming?
19011''MY DEAR ELLEN,--Will you write as soon as you get this and fix your own day for coming to Haworth?
19011''MY DEAR MRS. GASKELL,--Would it suit you if I were to come next Thursday, the 21st?
19011''MY DEAR SAUCY PAT,--Now do n''t you think you deserve this epithet far more than I do that which you have given me?
19011''My sister Anne sends the accompanying answer to the letter received through you the other day; will you be kind enough to post it?
19011''Now, dear Nell, when can you come to Haworth?
19011''Shall I reply to her note in the affirmative?
19011''So circumstanced, my dear sir, what claim have I on your friendship, what right to the comfort of your letters?
19011''Tell me, whether is it winter?
19011''What is your name, my little fellow?''
19011''What makes you say that the notice in the_ Westminster Review_ is not by Mr. Lewes?
19011''What shall I say about the twenty numbers of splendid engravings laid cozily at the bottom?
19011''Where did the girls get the books which they read so continually?
19011''Why are we to be divided?
19011''Why?''
19011''Will the inclosed dedication suffice?
19011''You are to say no more about"Jupiter"and"Venus"--what do you mean by such heathen trash?
19011''You asked whether Miss Martineau made me a convert to mesmerism?
19011''You mention the_ Leader_; what do you think of it?
190116d.?
19011About what time will you be likely to get here, and how will you come?
19011After the lecture somebody came behind me, leaned over the bench, and said,"Will you permit me, as a Yorkshireman, to introduce myself to you?"
19011Am I the person best qualified to make him happy?
19011Am I too dogmatical in saying this?
19011Am I wrong in supposing that critique to be written by Mr. Fonblanque?
19011And are you not making yourselves causelessly uneasy on the subject?
19011And for her sin, is it not one of those which God and not man must judge?
19011And how do you contrive to get your letters under the address of Mr. Bell?
19011And how should they know better?
19011And is not the latter more prolific than the former?
19011And what did Miss Wooler say to the proposal of being at the wedding?
19011And will you, sir, stretch your past kindness by telling me whether I should amend and pursue the work or let it rest in peace?
19011And yet, when this is acknowledged, how can one say that the picture was too gloomy?
19011Are there no such men as the Helstones and Yorkes?
19011Are these his failings?
19011Are you dead?
19011Are you going with me?
19011Are you ill?
19011Are you in better health and spirits, and does Anne continue to be pretty well?
19011Are you married?
19011Are you sure of this?
19011Be thankful that God gave you sense, for what are beauty, wealth, or even health without it?
19011But I must stop-- have I already said too much?
19011But again I asked myself two questions: Do I love him as much as a woman ought to love the man she marries?
19011But does such reality now exist?
19011But has not every house its trial?
19011But what could the people do?
19011But what nonsense am I writing?
19011But why, it may be asked, was Mrs. Gaskell selected as biographer?
19011By coach to Keighley, or by a gig all the way to Haworth?
19011By the way, having got your secret, will he keep it?
19011Can it be the air of London which disagrees with you?
19011Can they set aside entirely anything so clever, so subtle, so accomplished, so aspiring-- in a word, so thoroughly French, as he is?
19011Can you come on Friday next?
19011Can you tell me what has caused the change in Mary''s plans, and brought her so suddenly back to England?
19011Chemistry?
19011Could I ever feel for him enough love to accept him as a husband?
19011Could I, knowing my mind to be such as that, conscientiously say that I would take a grave, quiet, young man like Henry?
19011Did Branwell Bronte know of the publication of_ Jane Eyre_,''she asks,''and how did he receive the news?''
19011Did Emily accompany Charlotte as a pupil when the latter went as a teacher to Roe Head?
19011Did Emily ever go out as a governess?
19011Did I say rightly?
19011Did I see Mr. Taylor when I was in London?
19011Did he blame Mr. Bronte?
19011Did he seem cheerful and well?
19011Did he want to marry you, or only to lionise you?
19011Did n''t I tell you I had a"presentiment"it would be better for you to do so?
19011Did not Miss Martineau improve you?
19011Did they think you improved in looks?
19011Did you go to London about this too?
19011Did you never sneer or declaim in your first sketches?
19011Did you read it?
19011Did you salute your boy- messenger with a box on the ear the next time he came across you?
19011Did_ she_ ever make friends?''
19011Do not both tire of him in time?
19011Do not the swallow and the starling thus give a lesson by which man might profit?
19011Do you know anything of her?
19011Do you know how long she is likely to stay in England?
19011Do you know that living among people with whom you have not the slightest interest in common is just like living alone, or worse?
19011Do you look as you used to do, I wonder?
19011Do you remember lending me a parasol, which I should have left with you when we parted at Leeds?
19011Do you scold me out of habit, or are you really angry?
19011Do you think I am a blue- stocking?
19011Do you think I stood on ceremony about the matter?
19011Do you think it likely to be true?
19011Do you think you have any cause to complain of me?
19011Does he not too much confound benevolence with weakness and wisdom with mere craft?
19011Does he?
19011Does it weary you that I refer to them?
19011Does this assurance quite satisfy you?
19011Ellis and Acton Bell are referred to, and where are they?
19011From whom do you think I have received a couple of notes lately?
19011Has Paris the materials within her for thorough reform?
19011Has W. W. been seen or heard of lately?
19011Has the world gone so well with you that you have no protest to make against its absurdities?
19011Has your cough entirely left you?
19011Has_ general_ ill health been the consequence of wet weather at Birstall or not?
19011Have not her"unceasing changes"as yet always brought"perpetual emptiness"?
19011Have the woods I left so lovely Lost their robes of tender green?
19011Have you any idea who she is?
19011Have you not been too hasty in informing your friends of a certain event?
19011Have you received the newspaper which has been despatched, containing a notice of"her"lecture at Keighley?
19011Have you seen anything of the Miss Woolers lately?
19011Have you suffered from tic since you returned home?
19011Have you suffered much from that troublesome though not( I am happy to hear) generally fatal disease, the influenza?
19011He then went to London and made abundant inquiries-- but why pursue this ludicrous story further?
19011Heger''s pension?
19011How are papa and aunt, do they flag?
19011How are they at Hunsworth yet?
19011How are you getting on in the matter of servants?
19011How are you?
19011How are you?
19011How are you?
19011How did it strike you on reading it?
19011How did you like your office of bridesmaid?
19011How did your party go off?
19011How do you know that I have it in my power to comply with that request?
19011How does this happen?
19011How does your mother bear this hot weather?
19011How have your spirits been?
19011How is she?
19011How is your mother?
19011How is your mother?
19011How should I be with youth past, sisters lost, a resident in a moorland parish where there is not a single educated family?
19011How will Anne get on with Martha?
19011How would the accompanying preface do?
19011I am uneasy about what you say respecting the French newspapers-- do you mean to intimate that you have received none?
19011I believe I once requested you to judge of my feelings by your own-- am I to think that_ you_ are thus indifferent?
19011I hope you do not feel any bad effects from it?
19011I must not write so sadly, but how can I help thinking and feeling sadly?
19011I owe you a letter-- can I choose a better time than the present for paying my debt?
19011I should like well to have some details of your life, but how can I hope for it?
19011I wish I could say anything favourable, but how can we be more comfortable so long as Branwell stays at home, and degenerates instead of improving?
19011I wonder whether it can be true?
19011If Mrs. Fairfax or any other well- intentioned fool gets hold of this what will she think?
19011If man can thus experience total oblivion of his fellow''s imperfections, how much more can the Eternal Being, who made man, forgive His creature?
19011If she did, why not try her and her plan again?
19011If they had asked you to fix it, do you know yourself how many ciphers your sum would have had?
19011If they were not ashamed to be frugal, might they not be more independent?
19011In answer to inquiries respecting his age he affirmed himself to be thirty- seven-- is not this a lie?
19011In what purlieu of Cockayne?
19011Is he not, indeed, wonderfully fertile; but does the public, or the publisher even, make much account of his productions?
19011Is he something better than this?
19011Is it because it is intrinsically defective and inferior?
19011Is it because knowing as you now do the identity of"Currer Bell,"this scene strikes you as unfeminine?
19011Is it because you think this chapter will render the work liable to severe handling by the press?
19011Is it on account of Mary Dixon?
19011Is it the wish of her brother, or is it her own determination?
19011Is it too late to remedy this error?
19011Is she disposed to excuse the wretched petrified condition of the bilberry preserve, in consideration of the intent of the donor?
19011Is some one of your family ill?
19011Is that strength to be found in her which will not bend"but in magnanimous meekness"?
19011Is the author of this work a Manchester man?
19011Is the night time loth to go?
19011Is there any room for female lawyers, female doctors, female engravers, for more female artists, more authoresses?
19011It is true enough that the present market for female labour is quite overstocked, but where or how could another be opened?
19011Lamartine, there is not doubt, would make an excellent legislator for a nation of Lamartines-- but where is that nation?
19011Leicester''s School_, which you said you had met with, and you wondered by whom it was written?
19011Mary Dixon informs me your brother is scarcely expected to recover-- is this true?
19011Mary Taylor, I am sorry to hear, is ill-- have you seen her or heard anything of her lately?
19011May I hope that there is now some intelligence on the way to me?
19011Mean, dishonest Guizot being discarded, will any better successor be found for him than brilliant, unprincipled Thiers?
19011Miss Wooler talked of giving up Dewsbury Moor-- should Charlotte and Emily take it?
19011Mrs. Gaskell put to Miss Nussey this very question:''What was Emily''s religion?''
19011No one would blame me if I were to spend this spare hour in a pleasant chat with a friend-- is it worse to spend it in a friendly letter?
19011Now Ellen, do n''t you think I have very cleverly contrived to make up a letter out of nothing?
19011O Ellen, do you think I could be offended by any good advice you may give me?
19011Of course I am aware that he is a dramatic writer of eminence, but do you know anything about him as a man?
19011One can see where the evil lies, but who can point out the remedy?
19011Papa will perhaps think it a wild and ambitious scheme; but who ever rose in the world without ambition?
19011Perhaps you may return before midsummer-- do you think you possibly can?
19011Say to her:"Is the man a fool?
19011Shall I therefore send the MS. when I return the first batch of books?
19011Shall we really stand once again together on the moors of Haworth?
19011Should not her aged father be defended from the reproach the writer coarsely attempts to bring upon him?
19011So you are coming home, are you?
19011Tell me, are the dreary mountains Drearier still with drifted snow?
19011The Churchwardens recently put the question to him plainly: Why was he going?
19011There must be no impediments now?
19011They are for wrist frills, are they not?
19011They will come next year at this time, and who can tell what I shall want then, or shall be doing?
19011This is not like one of my adventures, is it?
19011Under these circumstances how can I go visiting?
19011Under these circumstances should we repine?
19011Was he willing to go?
19011Was it Mr. Bronte''s fault or his own?
19011Was it panic that made him so suddenly quit his throne and abandon his adherents without a struggle to retain one or aid the other?
19011Was the reader Albert Smith?
19011Well, it''s nearly dark and you will surely be well when you read this, so what''s the use of writing?
19011What author would be without the advantage of being able to walk invisible?
19011What claim have I on her?
19011What did your sister Anne say about my omitting to send a drawing for the Jew basket?
19011What do they all think of you?
19011What do you and Ellen Nussey talk about when you meet?
19011What does W. W.{ 92} say to these matters?
19011What does the public care about him as an individual?
19011What for?
19011What has happened to me?
19011What have you done with it?
19011What made you say I admired Hippocrates?
19011What sort of spell has withered Louis Philippe''s strength?
19011What was the topic to be?
19011What were Emily''s religious opinions?
19011What will you say when you get a_ real_,_ downright scolding_?
19011What would they make of Jane Eyre?
19011What, I can not help asking myself, would they make of Mr. Rochester?
19011When do you intend to tell the good people about you?
19011When does Anne talk of returning?
19011When pressed to go, she would sometimes say,"What is the use?
19011When will you come_ home_?
19011Where did he live, I wonder?
19011Where do the trickery and artifice lie?
19011Whether do such men sway the public mind most effectually from their quiet studies or from a council- chamber?
19011Whilst we depend entirely on Him for happiness, and receive each other and all our blessings as from His hands, what can harm us or make us miserable?
19011Who can read these glowing descriptions of Turner''s works without longing to see them?
19011Who can trust the word, or rely on the judgment, of an avowed atheist?
19011Who that reads these words addressed to Mr. Williams can for a moment imagine that Charlotte is speaking other than the truth?
19011Whom am I to marry?
19011Why are we so to be denied each other''s society?
19011Why can they not be content to take Currer Bell for a man?
19011Why did not Branwell go to the Royal Academy in London to learn painting?
19011Why did you not leave them to guess a little longer?
19011Why does the pulse of pain beat in every pleasure?
19011Why have I been silent?
19011Why should she trouble herself to do it?
19011Why should we be otherwise?
19011Why then, I am naturally asked, add one further book to the Bronte biographical literature?
19011Why, after having so long infatuatedly clung to Guizot, did he at once ignobly relinquish him?
19011Will her novel soon be published?
19011Will it be stained as darkly as the last with all our sins, follies, secret vanities, and uncontrolled passions and propensities?
19011Will not the public in general be of the same opinion?
19011Will she refuse me when I work so hard for her?
19011Will they print all the French phrases in italics?
19011Will you ask Mrs. Gaskell to undertake this just and honourable defence?
19011Will you be so kind as to deliver the accompanying note to Miss Taylor when you see her at church on Sunday?
19011Will you condescend to accept a yard of lace made up into nothing?
19011Will you inclose with the volume the accompanying note?
19011Will you suffer the article to pass current without any refutations?
19011Will you thank that gentleman for me when you see him, and tell him that the railroad is to blame for my not having acknowledged his courtesy before?
19011With this inheritance of intolerance, how could Charlotte and Emily face with kindliness the Romanism which they saw around them?
19011Would Mr. Taylor and I ever suit?
19011Would it suit you if we came to- morrow, after dinner-- say about seven o''clock, and spent Sunday evening with you?
19011Would that suit?
19011You have left your Bible-- how can I send it?
19011You read or looked over the Ms.--what impression have you now respecting its worth?
19011You say nothing about the Hunsworth Turtle- doves-- how are they?
19011You surely do not think you_ trouble_ me by writing?
19011_ How will it be when we open this paper and the one Emily has written_?
19011_ I wonder what it is about_?
19011_ Shall I succeed_?
19011_ What sort of a hand shall I make of it_?
19011_ What will the next four years bring forth_?
19011_ When shall we sensibly diminish it_?
19011_ When will they be done_?
19011_ Will she go_?
19011_ Will they improve_?
19011_ or was it somebody else_?
19011a humbug, a hypocrite, a ninny, a noodle?
19011and am I understood?
19011and especially,''Can I do it in August or September?
19011and how did he like her?
19011and how do you like your new sister and her family?
19011and how is the branch of promise?
19011and what confidence have you that I can make it better than it is?
19011does this compensate for the absence of every fine feeling, of every gentle and delicate sentiment?
19011has he at least common sense, a good disposition, a manageable temper?
19011is he a knave?
19011or astronomy?
19011or conchology?
19011or entomology?
19011or mechanics?
19011or must my patience be tried till I see you on Wednesday?
19011or what other ology?
19011or when she arrives at Hunsworth?
19011warily in these dangerous days,"when, as Burns( is it not he?)
19011what means this midnight?
19011what station he occupies in the literary world and what works he has written?
26152N''est- ce pas de ton coeur que viennent les graces de ton enjouement? 26152 Who shall decide when doctors disagree?"
26152''Tis very justly thought, and very politely quoted, and my best courtesy is due to him and to you:--but now will you listen to me?
26152--to some wild and beautiful melody, such as some shepherd boy might"pipe to Amarillis in the shade?"
26152Against the dangers of romance?--but where are they?
26152Almost every one knows by heart Lady Percy''s celebrated address to her husband, beginning, O, my good lord, why are you thus alone?
26152And again:-- What is this maid?
26152And do you think, like some interesting young lady in Miss Edgeworth''s tales, that"women have nothing to do with politics?"
26152And have you nuns no further privileges?
26152And is it I That drive thee from the sportive court, where thou Wast shot at with fair eyes, to be the mark Of smoky muskets?
26152And is it true that I must go from Troy?
26152And when goes hence?
26152And why have you not chosen your examples from real life?
26152And you have written a book to make them better?
26152Apropos to the historical characters, I hope you have refuted that_ insolent_ assumption,( shall I call it?)
26152Are not these large enough?
26152Are there many such, think you, in the world?
26152Are they to serve as examples or as warnings for the youth of this enlightened age?
26152Are you a comedian?
26152Are you a man?
26152Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valor, As thou art in desire?
26152Art thou gone so?
26152As warnings, of course-- what else?
26152Ay, madam, twenty several messengers: Why do you send so thick?
26152Ay, who doubts that?
26152Be these sad signs confirmers of thy words?
26152Be your tears wet?
26152Beautiful lines!--Where are they?
26152Both are ill- judged and odious; but did you ever meet with a woman of the world, who did not abuse most heartily the whole race of men?
26152But do you thence infer that both are good for nothing?
26152But had he died in the business, madam?
26152But how are we to arrive at the solution of this glorious riddle, whose dazzling complexity continually mocks and eludes us?
26152But how could you( saving the reverence due to a lady- authoress, and speaking as one reasonable being to another) choose such a threadbare subject?
26152But how many hath he killed?
26152But how tell in words, so pure, so fine, so ideal an abstraction as Hamlet?
26152But seriously, do you think it necessary to guard young people, in this selfish and calculating age, against an excess of sentiment and imagination?
26152But shall she weakly relinquish the golden opportunity, and dash the cup from her lips at the moment it is presented?
26152But since by reason I can not persuade ye to it, to what purpose do I defer my last hope?"
26152But to proceed: I allow that with this view of the case, you could not well have chosen your illustrations from real life; but why not from history?
26152But to what do you attribute the number of satirical women we meet in society?
26152But wherefore could not I pronounce, amen?
26152But why are they mischievous?
26152COUNTESS Nay, a mother; Why not a mother?
26152Can Fulvia die?
26152Can this be true?
26152Can we believe that the mere tardy acknowledgment of her innocence could make amends for wrongs and agonies such as these?
26152Day, night, Are they not but in Britain?
26152Did I, Charmian, Ever love Cæsar so?
26152Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
26152Did it ever fail to charm or to interest, to seize on the coldest fancy, to touch the most insensible heart?
26152Did you ever talk with a man of the world, who did not speak with levity or contempt of the whole human race of women?
26152Did your letters pierce the queen to any demonstration of grief?
26152Do not you love him, madam?
26152Do we not fancy Cleopatra drawing herself up with all the vain consciousness of rank and beauty as she pronounces this last line?
26152Do you allow no distinction between the romance of exaggerated sentiment, and the romance of elevated thought?
26152Do you believe his tenders, as you call them?
26152Do you believe this?
26152Do you love me?
26152Do you love my son?
26152Do you not remember, lady, in your father''s time, a Venetian, a scholar, and a soldier, that came hither in company of the Marquis of Montferrat?
26152Do you think I will?
26152Do_ you_ bring cold water to quench the smouldering ashes of enthusiasm?
26152Dost thou think, though I am caparisoned like a man, that I have a doublet and hose in my disposition?
26152For instance:-- Why holds thine eye that lamentable rheum?
26152For the very expressions of Lear-- What can you say to draw A third more opulent than your sisters''?
26152For them?
26152For what good turn?
26152Force me to keep you as a prisoner, Not like a guest?
26152From its truth perhaps?
26152Ha!--Portia?
26152Hath he ask''d for me?
26152Hath that poor monarch taught thee to insult?
26152Have I let slip a second vanity That gives thee hope?
26152Have I not cause?
26152Having waste ground enough, Shall we desire to raze the sanctuary, And pitch our evils there?
26152He has almost supp''d: why have you left the chamber?
26152He''s speaking now, Or murmuring, Where''s my serpent of old Nile?
26152Hear''st thou, Pisanio?
26152His service?
26152How all the other passions fleet to air, As doubtful thoughts, and rash- embraced despair, And shudd''ring fear, and green- eyed jealousy?
26152How could''st thou drain the life- blood of the child To bid the father wipe his face withal, And yet be seen to bear a woman''s face?
26152How do you, women?
26152How does my royal lord?
26152How dost thou like this tune?
26152How fares your majesty?
26152How now?
26152How would you be, If He, which is the top of judgment, should But judge you as you are?
26152How''scap''d I killing when I cross''d you so?
26152I can not do it to the gods; Must I then do''t to them?
26152I do beseech you,( Chiefly that I might set it in my prayers,) What is your name?
26152I must then to the Greeks?
26152I only wished I might have died With my poor father; wherefore should I ask For longer life?
26152I pray you, how many hath he killed and eaten in these wars?
26152I wrong''d you, fair?
26152If Antony Be free and healthful, why so tart a favor To trumpet such good tidings?
26152If Cordelia reminds us of any thing on earth, it is of one of the Madonnas in the old Italian pictures,"with downcast eyes beneath th''almighty dove?"
26152If he chose to make the Delphic oracle and Julio Romano contemporary-- what does it signify?
26152If ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth?
26152If it appeared to the Grecian sage so"difficult for a man not to love himself, nor the things that belong to him, but justice only?"
26152If now I have answered all your considerations and objections, and sufficiently explained my own views, may I proceed?
26152If one of mean affairs May plod it in a week, why may not I Glide thither in a day?
26152If sleep charge nature, To break it with a fearful dream of him, And cry myself awake?--that''s false to his bed, Is it?
26152If this is not mere masculine indifference to blood and death, mere firmness of nerve, what is it?
26152If this observation applies at all, it is equally just with regard to characters: and in either case can we admit it?
26152In such a case, as she says herself-- What should Cordelia do?--love and be silent?
26152Is it but this?
26152Is it fair to bring a second- hand accusation against me, and not attend to my defence?
26152Is it not exquisite-- irresistible?
26152Is it not rather a whiting of the sepulchre?
26152Is it possible Disdain should die, while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick?
26152Is it possible?
26152Is it so nominated in the bond?
26152Is she the goddess who hath severed us, And brought us thus together?
26152Is there then no sanctuary for such a mind?--Where shall it find a refuge from the world?--Where seek for strength against itself?
26152Is this Antony''s Cleopatra-- the Circe of the Nile-- the Venus of the Cydnus?
26152Is this your christian counsel?
26152Is''t lost,--Is''t gone?
26152Is''t not a kind of incest to take life From thine own sister''s shame?
26152It is easy to_ say_ this; yet who but Shakspeare could have expanded the last line into a Falconbridge?
26152It is not lost-- but what an''if it were?
26152It is not so expressed-- but what of that?
26152Keeping in view the peculiar character of Hermione, such as she is delineated, is she one either to forgive hastily or forget quickly?
26152Know you not, he has?
26152Love you my son?
26152Macbeth reigned over Scotland from the year 1039 to 1056--but what is all this to the purpose?
26152Met''st thou my posts?
26152Must I With my base tongue give to my noble heart A lie, that it must bear?
26152Must I go show them my unbarb''d sconce?
26152My husband, then?
26152No: not to be so odd, and from all fashions, As Beatrice is can not be commendable: But who dare tell her so?
26152Nor I your mother?
26152Now Iras, what think''st thou?
26152Now our joy, Although the last not least-- What can you say to draw A third more opulent than your sisters''?
26152Now would it not be well, if this common and comprehensive word were more accurately defined, or at least more accurately used?
26152O insupportable and touching loss-- Upon what sickness?
26152O temperance, lady?
26152O, my pardon?
26152Of her subsequent madness, what can be said?
26152Past grace?
26152Pr''ythee speak, How many score of miles may we well ride''Twixt hour and hour?
26152Say you?
26152Shall I endure?
26152Shall I not live to be avenged on her?
26152Shall she cast away the treasure for which she has ventured both life and honor, when it is just within her grasp?
26152Shall they hoist me up, And show me to the shouting varletry Of censuring Rome?
26152She I kill''d?
26152Sir, do you know me?
26152Speak, is it out of the way?
26152Speak, is''t so?
26152Speakest thou from thy heart?
26152Stand I condemned for pride and scorn so much?
26152Stands he, or sits he, Or does he walk?
26152Such giddiness of heart and brain Comes seldom save from rage and pain, So talks as it''s most used to do?
26152Sweet, who has anger''d you?
26152That honor, saved, may upon asking give?
26152The moral!--of what?
26152Then is it sin To rush into the secret house of death Ere death dare come to us?
26152Then wav''d his hankerchief?
26152Then, in a few words, what is the subject, and what the object, of your book?
26152Think you there was, or might be, such a man As this I dream''d of?
26152Think you, I am no stronger than my sex Being so father''d and so husbanded?
26152Think you, I pray you, my lords, will any Englishmen counsel, or be friendly unto me, against the king''s pleasure, they being his subjects?
26152Think''st thou it honorable for a nobleman Still to remember wrongs?
26152This great moral retribution was to be displayed to us-- but how?
26152Thus when the victory of Coriolanus is proclaimed, Menenius asks,"Is he wounded?"
26152To lie in watch there, and to think of him?
26152To weep''twixt clock and clock?
26152True it is, that the ambitious women of these civilized times do not murder sleeping kings: but are there, therefore, no Lady Macbeths in the world?
26152Upon the rack, Bassanio?
26152Upon what ground can we read the play from beginning to end, and doubt the angel- purity of Isabella, or contemplate her possible lapse from virtue?
26152Using those thoughts, which should indeed have died With them they think on?
26152Was the hope drunk, Wherein you dress''d yourself?
26152What angel shall Bless this unworthy husband?
26152What beast was it then, That made you break this enterprise to me?
26152What do you mean?
26152What do you mean?
26152What dost thou mean by shaking of thy head?
26152What earthly title could add to her grandeur?
26152What have they to do more upon this earth?
26152What is Cleopatra but the empress and type of all the coquettes that ever were-- or are?
26152What is between you?
26152What is it, then, which lends to Cordelia that peculiar and individual truth of character, which distinguishes her from every other human being?
26152What is your pleasure, madam?
26152What lady would you choose to assail?
26152What mean you, madam?
26152What means that hand upon that breast of thine?
26152What must I do?
26152What name, sweet lady?
26152What offence, sweet Beatrice?
26152What say you?
26152What says the married woman?
26152What shall be said of her?
26152What shall we answer to such criticism?
26152What should I do, I do not?
26152What should I think?
26152What sum owes he the Jew?
26152What then?
26152What was the last That he spake to thee?
26152What was there to check the ardor of hope, of faith, of constancy, just rising in her breast, but disappointment, which she had never yet felt?
26152What will become of me now, wretched lady?
26152What would she have thought and felt, had some soothsayer foretold to her the fate of her own children, whom she so tenderly loved?
26152What would you do?
26152What''s his service?
26152What''s his will?
26152What''s that?
26152What''s the matter That this distempered messenger of wet, The many- color''d Iris, rounds thine eye?
26152What''s this?
26152What, and from Troilus too?
26152What, i''the storm?
26152What, what?
26152When I have spoken of you disparagingly, Hath ta''en your part?
26152When I said a mother, Methought you saw a serpent: what''s in mother, That you start at it?
26152When he urges her to revenge, she asks, with all the simplicity of virtue,"How should I be revenged?"
26152When shall we see again?
26152When she bursts into that outrageous speech-- Is he not approved in the height a villain that hath slandered, scorned, dishonored my kinswoman?
26152When will the reign of Constance cease?
26152Where am I?
26152Where art thou, death?
26152Where be the sacred vials thou shouldst fill With sorrowful water?
26152Where have I been?
26152Where think''st thou he is now?
26152Where, but in heaven?
26152Wherefore, gentle maiden, Do you neglect them?
26152Who ever knew a Hamlet in real life?
26152Who is it thou dost call usurper, France?
26152Why do you hate them?
26152Why do you make such faces?
26152Why do you speak so startingly and rash?
26152Why dost not speak?
26152Why dost thou look so sadly on my son?
26152Why dost thou stay?
26152Why holds thine eye that lamentable rheum, Like a proud river peering o''er his bounds?
26152Why should I think you can be mine, and true, Though you in swearing shake the throned gods, Who have been false to Fulvia?
26152Why should excuse be born, or e''er begot?
26152Why should there be competition or comparison?
26152Why should you frown?
26152Why!--why are they mischievous?
26152Why, after all, should we be offended at what does not offend Juliet herself?
26152Why, methinks by him This creature''s no such thing?
26152Why, what would you do?
26152Why?--that you are my daughter?
26152Wil''t please you hear me?
26152Will poor folks lie That have afflictions on them, knowing''tis A punishment or trial?
26152Will you go yet?
26152Will you have her?
26152Will you not eat your word?
26152Will''t please, you Sir, be gone?
26152Wilt thou be made a man out of my vice?
26152With thin helm?
26152Would Imogen have done so, who is so generously ready to grant a pardon before it be asked?
26152You are a spirit, I know: when did you die?
26152You laugh when boys, or women, tell their dreams Is''t not your trick?
26152You remember too the famous nativity by some Neapolitan painter, who has placed Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples in the background?
26152You will not listen to me?
26152You''re not angry?
26152[ 81] The corresponding passage in the old English Plutarch runs thus:"My son, why dost thou not answer me?
26152a tardiness of nature, That often leaves the history unspoke Which it intends to do?--My lord of Burgundy, What say you to the lady?
26152and how beautifully he has exemplified it in Juliet?
26152are ye gone, And leave me here in wretchedness behind ye?
26152are you yet living?
26152daughter and mother So strive upon your pulse: what, pale again?
26152does it curd thy blood, To say, I am thy mother?
26152e che altro mi resta verso te se non colla mia morte seguirti?
26152for wot''st thou whom thou mov''st?
26152happier therein than I!-- And that was all?
26152hath it slept since, And wakes it now, to look so green and pale At what it did so freely?
26152have I not ever said, How that ambitious Constance would not cease, Till she had kindled France and all the world Upon the right and party of her son?
26152how shall this be prevented?
26152how then?
26152i''the night?
26152is''t I That chase thee from thy country, and expose Those tender limbs of thine to the event Of the none- sparing war?
26152is''t true?
26152like a corse?
26152obedience?
26152or Desdemona, who does not forgive because she can not even resent?
26152or heal a heart which must have bled inwardly, consumed by that untold grief,"which burns worse than tears drown?"
26152or is he on his horse?
26152or to prove that the mention of Proteus and Pluto, baptism and the Virgin Mary, in a breath, amounts to an anachronism?
26152quite unmann''d in folly?
26152she replies with a kind of half consciousness-- No more but so?
26152think''st thou we shall ever meet again?
26152what human record or attestation strengthen our impression of her reality?
26152what poor ability''s in me To do him good?
26152what then?
26152what wicked deem is this?
26152when will_ her_ power depart?
26152where are now your fortunes?
26152where are ye?
26152which of ye drew from the other?"
26152who was it that thus cried?
26152why do you keep alone, Of sorriest fancies your companions making?
26152why how now, Charmian?
26152will you not lend a knee?
26152yet if genius, youth, and innocence could not escape unslurred, can I hope to do so?
26152yet who, ideal as the character is, feels not its reality?
11549And d''ye feel better, Mis''Prentiss?
11549And does everybody who comes here give you something?
11549And then what do you do?
11549And to love God?
11549And what shall I do?
11549And what then?
11549And yet, Mrs. Prentiss( asked one of the ladies), does there not come a time when the child is really of service to the mother?
11549But Mrs. Love is here, is she not?
11549Did it ever strike you, dear Christian, that if the poor world could know what we are in Christ, it would worship us?
11549Did n''t Miss Anna send any of them?
11549Do you see my sword?
11549How do you explain the fact,she added,"that truly good people are left to produce such an effect?
11549How much feeling of love must I have before I can count myself Jesus''disciple?
11549How old are you, little fellow?
11549Is he tired?
11549Is the doctor here?
11549None are so old as they who have outlived enthusiasm; and who should be enthusiastic if a mother may not?
11549Oh Pearlie, why do you say so?
11549Oh, Lizzy, have you gone crazy?
11549Sha n''t I save some for your breakfast?
11549She came round to the back stoop Thursday morning( one of the servants told me afterwards) and I said to her,''Mis Prentiss, and how d''ye feel?'' 11549 Was it''Stepping Heavenward''?"
11549Well, little witch?
11549What are Little Babies For?
11549What are Little Babies For?
11549What do you do with your pennies?
11549What does he eat?
11549What makes you blush so, my dear?
11549What makes you blush so?
11549What''s it for?
11549When a question as to duty comes up, I think we can soon settle it in this way:''Am I living near to Christ? 11549 When the shore is won at last, Who will count the billows past?"
11549Which little baby?
11549Why can not I make a jacket for my baby without throwing into it the ardor of a soldier going into battle?
11549Why how do you know you''ll go to heaven?
11549Why, do you think you should be better off than you are here?
11549Will you take me for a pupil?
11549You would n''t care much if you should die to- night, should you?
11549''s portrait?
115491._--I wonder if all the girls in the world are just alike?
1154916th._--Do you remember what father said about losing his will when near the close of his life?
1154921st._--Are you in earnest?
115496, 1837._--Why is it that our desires so infinitely transcend our capacities?
115498th._--How is it that people who have no refuge in God live through the loss of those they love?
11549A year?
11549About the painting?
11549Am I a Christian?"
11549Am I bound to reveal my heart- life to everybody who asks?
11549Am I not then on dangerous ground?
11549Am I renouncing self in what I undertake to do for Him?''
11549Am I seeking His guidance?
11549And I want to ask you if you ever offer to pray with people?
11549And can we better frame that prayer than in those lines which she wrote out of her own heart?
11549And first the doctor, what of him?
11549And have you put up your leaves on your windows?
11549And if you are happy at the North Pole sha n''t I be happy there too?
11549And may it not be that they become better acquainted with us, too, loving us more perfectly and forgiving all that has been amiss?
11549And now tell me, my son, in seeing this picture gallery, do you not begin to see me?
11549And the houses have a habit of burning down, and ours is going to do as the rest do, and then how''ll you feel in your minds?
11549And what can we ask for that compares for one instant with"the almost constant felt presence of our Saviour''s sympathy and support"?
11549And what is there in the system of things, or in the nature of the mind, to suggest it?
11549And why angry with you?
11549And yet why do I say_ poor_ when I know it is_ rich_?
11549And, indeed, why should it be harder for God to enter into the soul of an infant than into our"unlikeliest"ones?
11549Are n''t you glad?
11549Are they good- for- nothing things?
11549Are they made for us to love?
11549Are you in earnest?
11549Are you little and slight, like my real mother, I wonder, or stately and tall?
11549Are you really coming home in March?
11549Are you sure that you will come?
11549At last she said,"Miss Payson?"
11549At six months?
11549Beneath your pillow have I roses placed-- Your heart''s glad festival have I not graced?
11549But can you not believe me when I assure you that you are my own dear son?
11549But is not this the true stale of the mind, instead of being; one which should excite astonishment?
11549But suppose I do her no good while she lives so under my wing?
11549But what do I care?
11549But what then?
11549But why do I speak thus of myself and my feelings?
11549But you will come next fall, wo n''t you?
11549But, what am I doing?
11549Can it be true?
11549Can they even hold themselves?
11549Can they help their mothers sew?
11549Can they speak a single word?
11549Can they walk upon their feet?
11549Can we enjoy Him while living for ourselves, while indulging in sin, while prayerless and cold and dead?
11549Can you believe that till this June I never went strawberrying in my life?
11549Can you cap this climax?
11549Can you conceive my relief?

11549Do not I_ know_ that it is so?
11549Do not you miss the hearing little feet pattering round the house?

11549I am reading the history of the Oxford Conference;[ 5] there is a great deal in it to like, but what do you think of this saying of its leader?
11549I asked if I had better send at once for Dr. Wyman?
11549I believe I''ll go to your bedroom door and say,"I wonder whether Annie would shriek out if she saw me in this old sacque, instead of her pretty one?"
11549I ca n''t help feeling that every soul I meet, of whom I can ask, What think you of Christ?
11549I care more to be loved than to be admired, do n''t you?
11549I confess that such conceptions are hard to attain.... Ca n''t you do M---- S---- up in your next letter, and send her to me on approbation?
11549I declare it was just as she looked when she says to me,"Mary, I''m going to be married, and what d''ye think of that?"
11549I do n''t think people ought to like me, on the whole, but when they do, ai nt I glad?
11549I expected the reproof which I certainly deserved, but though evidently surprised at seeing me, he merely said,"You here?
11549I feel sorry for her in one sense, but if she belongs to Christ, is n''t He home enough for her?

11549In a letter written about two weeks ago, Miss Lyman says,"How am I?
11549In what other way could you reach so many minds and hearts?

11549Is it because I am proud?
11549Is it even so with you?
11549Is it impossible?
11549Is it not a little remarkable that her last letter to me, written only a few weeks before her death, closed with a benediction?

11549Is n''t it worth while to pay something for warm human sympathies and something for rich experience of God''s love and wisdom?
11549Is n''t there such power in a holy life, and have not some lived such a life?
11549Is not Christ enough for a human soul?
11549Is not the fruit of love aspiration after the holy?
11549Is not this a blissful thought?...
11549Is this a part of our poor humanity, above which we can not rise?
11549Is this consistent with what I have just said about growing more loving as we grow more Christlike?
11549Is this true?
11549It is entitled,"What form of Law is best suited to the individual and social nature of man?"
11549It is not foolish, is it?
11549It was a little singular that her poem and his sermon came to me at almost the identical moment, was n''t it?
11549It was a real loss, and if you ever feel a little stronger than usual, will you make me another copy?
11549Last night when I went up to my room to go to bed, the thermometer was 90 °... Are you not going to the Centennial?
11549Law proceeds from an infinite mind; can finite mind grasp it so as to know, through its own consciousness, that it comes up to this standard?
11549Let me see; how old should I have to be, at soonest?
11549Lovely, was n''t it?
11549Mrs. W. said they hoped not, but added,"Yet suppose you_ should_ die, what then?"
11549Must I not believe that the heavenly love may, in one sense, be_ hidden_ from outward eye and outward touch?
11549Must everybody have everything to himself?
11549My dear child, what makes you get blue?
11549My joy, my rapture, and my silent pain?
11549Ne seriez- vous pas ma complice, Madame?...
11549Now how shall I get it to her?
11549Now we were able to say,_ It is well with the child!_"Oh,"said the gardener, as he passed down the garden- walk,"who plucked that flower?
11549Now, can we enjoy Him till we do glorify Him?
11549Now, do you think I love you?
11549O death, where is thy sting?
11549O grave, where is thy victory?
11549O grave, where is thy victory?"
11549Oh, are you really coming?
11549Oh, do you miss me?
11549Oh, how can they?
11549Oh, how good the Lord is, is n''t He?"
11549Oh, what is it I do want?
11549On coming in to dinner, a little past one, I was startled not to find her at the table,"Where is mamma?"
11549Only one thing was wanting to my perfect felicity-- a heart absolutely holy; and was I likely to get that when my earthly cup was so full?
11549Or who could bring back again the awe- struck, responsive emotions that thrilled our hearts?
11549Ought say?"
11549Out of the streets as you did me?
11549Part I. begins thus: Where are the Prentisses?
11549Pray tell me more of it, will you?
11549Refuse to become your own dear sons?
11549Refuse to have such a dear, kind, patient father?
11549Refuse?
11549Refuse_ love?__ Father_.
11549Rest?_ What an infinite, mournful sweetness in the word!
11549Say, do you know me?
11549Several questions have come from those silent lips which I am requested to submit to you:"What is it to believe?"
11549Shall I never see you again in this world?
11549Shall I return the first and keep the_ Love_?
11549Shall I send you some more daisies?
11549Shall I?
11549Shall it ever_ rest?
11549Shall we ever learn to put no confidence in the flesh?
11549Shall we not pray that His love may be shed abroad in all our hearts in richer measure?
11549She says Mr. T. came to Mr. P. with tears in his eyes( could such a man shed tears?)
11549She suddenly turned to her partner with a comical air of chagrin and exclaimed:"Why is it they are winning the game?
11549Shopping is pleasant business now- a- days, is n''t it?
11549Should I wait for an inward assurance of strength, or begin a Christian life trusting Him to help me?"
11549Should not you?
11549Sitting by Mr. Webster, I asked him if he had ever heard anything like it?
11549So how do you suppose it will seem ten months hence?
11549Somebody who feels as I feel and thinks as I think; but where shall I find the somebody?
11549Suppose you stop in some out of the way place just out of town, and let me trot out there to see you?
11549Taking one of my portfolios in her arms she asked,"May I sit down on the floor and take this in my lap?"
11549The bright speeches are mostly genuine, made by Eddy Hopkins and Ned and Charley P. How came you to have blooming hepaticas?

11549The hymn said, Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, and I whispered to father,"Is Jesus God?"
11549The little thing has done well, has n''t it?
11549The more I reflect and the more I pray, the more life narrows down to one point-- What am I being for Christ, what am I doing for Him?
11549The only question is: Do I live so?
11549The price of successful self- culture is unremitted toil, labor, and self- denial; am I willing to pay it?
11549Then how am I to spare my twin- boy, and my A. and my M.?
11549They are all your adopted sons?
11549To seek enjoyment, please myself, Make life a summer''s day?
11549To the same friend, just bereft of her two children, she writes a few months later: Is it possible, is it possible that you are made childless?
11549To whom shall I talk about you, pray?
11549Two years?
11549Was it home or was it heaven?
11549Was my spirit, perhaps, touched in some mysterious way by the coming event?
11549Was n''t it by far too long a walk to take in one day?
11549Was n''t it nice of him?
11549Was n''t it so with you?
11549Was that music from above?
11549We can not ask ourselves, Is this true?
11549We enjoy seeing our children enjoy their work and their play; is our Father unwilling to let us enjoy ours?
11549Well, is n''t a baby an institution?
11549Well, she did n''t; she said,"What''s that funny little thing perched up there?
11549What are little babies for?
11549What are we made for, if not to bear each other''s burdens?
11549What can an angel say more?
11549What could I do with it?

11549What more can the fondest mother''s heart ask than such safety as this?

11549What was her manner of life among her children?
11549What would become of you if he were snatched from you?"
11549What''s the use of my being sick, if it is n''t for her sake or that of some other suffering soul?

11549When are you coming to spend that week in Dorset?
11549When did their education begin?
11549When he brought in the trout, Ellen went to his mother''s chamber and asked if they should not be kept for breakfast?
11549When it is all done, what will it amount to?
11549When mother put Charles and him to bed, as soon as she had done praying with them, G. said, Mother, will this world be all burnt up when we are dead?
11549When one of your little brothers asks you to lend him your knife, do you inquire first what is the state of his mind?
11549Whence came this couch?
11549Whence should help come to me?
11549Where is he now?
11549Who can describe the charms of his conversation?
11549Who equals Wordsworth in purity, in majesty, in tranquil contemplation, in childlikeness?
11549Who gathered that plant?"
11549Who is so fitted to sing praises to Christ as he who has learned Him in hours of bereavement, disappointment and despair?

11549Who is to keep me well snubbed?
11549Who is to tell me what to wear?
11549Who''s going to be"schoolma''am"out of school?

11549Why do I tell you this?
11549Why do my friends speak of my letters as giving more pleasure or profit than anything that goes to them from me in print?
11549Why do n''t we sing songs instead?
11549Why do n''t you follow my example and dress in sackcloth and ashes?
11549Why do n''t you tell what you are reading?
11549Why in danger?
11549Why should I have thought of him among all the people I know?
11549Why should the world seem more than ever empty when one has just gained the treasure of a living and darling child?
11549Why should we not speak freely to each other of Him?
11549Why?
11549Why?
11549Will not then God make that suffering but as a blessed reprover to bring me nearer Himself?
11549Will the next one be more commonplace?
11549Will you or wo n''t you?
11549Wo n''t that be nice for Jeanie and Mary''s other children, if they come?
11549Would you not be very sorry to have me deny that you are my son, and turn you out of the house?
11549Yet this is not all, for of what advantage is it to be at home, unless home is a place for the unfolding of warm affections?
11549You ask if I"ever feel that religion is a sham"?
11549You know Wordsworth''s Stepping Westward?
11549You loved those miserable beggar- boys?
11549Your little note has drawn large interest, has n''t it?

11549_ I_ must do something_ now_--WHAT?
11549_ July 21st._--What do you think I did this forenoon?
11549_ Now_ wo n''t you come?

11549_ To her Husband, Westport, June 27._ I wonder where you are this lovely morning?
11549_ Why_ should it worship us when it rejects Christ?
11549and do you suppose you can go home without them?
11549and how much_ too good_ God is to me?
11549and that Miss Lyman is not as well as she was?
11549and who are they who smiling stand around?
11549and will the ground be burnt up too?

11549the darling tiny creature!--a girl?
11549why not speak only of our God and Redeemer?
