6942''So I can not see Effie Deans, then,said Butler;"and you are determined not to let me out?"
6942A matter of absolute needcessity,said Saddletree,"wha ever heard of witnesses no being enclosed?"
6942A stranger he was in this country, and a companion of that lawless vagabond, Wilson, I think, Effie?
6942An_ honest_ woman''s bairn, Maggie?
6942And Dominie Butler-- Does he come to see our father, that''s sae taen wi''his Latin words?
6942And I am thinking,pursued the turnkey,"that ye speered at me when we locked up, and if we locked up earlier on account of Porteous?"
6942And I suppose Butler is to remain incarcerated?

6942And shouldna ye ken that without my telling you?
6942And that''s all the good you have obtained from three perusals of the Commentaries on Scottish Criminal Jurisprudence?

6942And you tauld him,said Effie,"that ye wadna hear o''coming between me and the death that I am to die, and me no aughten year auld yet?"
6942And, I suppose, now you have dragged this poor devil ashore, you will leave him half naked on the beach to provide for himself?
6942Are ye mad?
6942Are you a clergyman?
6942Are you prepared for this dreadful end?
6942Are you so dull-- so very dull of apprehension?
6942Are you sure o''that?

6942Being interrogated, what her reason was for secrecy on this point? 6942 But James Ratcliffe is your present name?--what is your trade?"
6942But did he speak to no one?
6942But maybe, Madge, ye wad mind something about it, if I was to gie ye this half- crown?
6942But the fact, sir,argued Butler,"the fact that this poor girl has borne a child; surely the crown lawyers must prove that?"
6942But to what purpose or end, gentlemen?
6942But what, my friends,insisted Butler, with a generous disregard to his own safety--"what hath constituted you his judges?"
6942But, neighbour,said Saddletree,"ye''ll retain advocates for the puir lassie?
6942But,repeated the magistrate,"what are your means of living-- your occupation?"

6942Did you ever see that mad woman before?
6942Do I deny it?
6942Do you rest upon the testimony of that light- headed letter?
6942Do you suppose,said the magistrate, pausing,"that the young woman will accept an invitation so mysterious?"
6942Do you think you will persuade those who are hardened in guilt to die to save another?--Is that the reed you would lean to?
6942Foolish, hardhearted girl,said the stranger,"are you afraid of what they may do to you?
6942For what purpose, gentlemen?
6942Forget, Reuben?
6942Free to do, man? 6942 Granted,"said her lover;"but what compels you to this?--who is this person?
6942Hadna ye better get up and tryt yet?
6942Have you agreed on your chancellor, gentlemen?
6942He? 6942 Heard ye ever the like o''that, Laird?"
6942How can you ask me that, Mr. Butler? 6942 How could you dispute what''s plain law, man?"
6942How was he dressed?
6942How''s a''wi''ye, Effie?--How d''ye find yoursell, hinny?
6942I am sorry to interrupt my brother,said the Crown Counsel, rising;"but I am in your Lordships''judgment, whether this be not a leading question?"
6942I dare say, ye hae deil ane?
6942I say, Mr. Butler,said he,"ken ye if Mr. Saddletree''s a great lawyer?"
6942I think,said Butler, after a good deal of hesitation,"I have seen the girl in the shop-- a modest- looking, fair- haired girl?"
6942I trust you will forgive my hoping that it is of a lawful kind?
6942Indeed? 6942 Is it not ten long years since we spoke together in this way?"
6942Is it only you, and be d-- d to you?
6942Is that all you can say for your life?--Have you no promise to give?--Will you destroy your sister, and compel me to shed more blood?
6942Is that all you have to say?
6942Is that the preacher?
6942Is the Cowgate Port a nearer way to Libberton from the Grassmarket than Bristo Port?
6942Is the West Port your usual way of leaving town when you go to Libberton?
6942Is this necessary?
6942Isna that ower true a doctrine?
6942It would kill me to do''t-- how can ye bid me pay back siller, when ye ken how I want it? 6942 It''s chappit eight on every clock o''the town, and the sun''s gaun down ahint the Corstorphine hills-- Whare can ye hae been sae late?"
6942Just because I can not, and I dare not,answered Jeanie.--"But hark, what''s that?
6942Madge, my bonny woman,said Sharpitlaw, in the same coaxing manner,"what did ye do wi''your ilka- day''s claise yesterday?"
6942Madge,said Ratcliffe,"hae ye ony joes now?"
6942Must that be sae?
6942Not the full sister, however?
6942O Effie, what could take ye to a dance?
6942O Effie,said her elder sister,"how could you conceal your situation from me?
6942O father, we are cruelly sted between God''s laws and man''s laws-- What shall we do?--What can we do?
6942Pretty pranks he has played in his time, I suppose?
6942So, Mr. Ratcliffe,said the officer, conceiving it suited his dignity to speak first,"you give up business, I find?"
6942Surely by her means the truth might be discovered.--Who was she? 6942 Surely, it is needless to swear that I will do all that is lawful to a Christian to save the life of my sister?"
6942Take courage, young woman,said Fairbrother.--"I asked what your sister said ailed her when you inquired?"
6942Thae duds were a''o''the colour o''moonshine in the water, I''m thinking, Madge-- The gown wad be a sky- blue scarlet, I''se warrant ye?
6942That is to say, you could find me another name if I did not like that one?
6942That''s speaking to the purpose, indeed,said the office- bearer;"and now, Rat, where think ye we''ll find him?"
6942The deil ye did? 6942 The devil she has!--Do you think me as mad as she, is, to trust to her guidance on such an occasion?"
6942The devil take your crazy brain,said Sharpitlaw;"will you not allow the men to answer a question?"
6942The queen tore her biggonets for perfect anger,--ye''ll hae heard o''that too?
6942Their dress, then, is not alike?
6942Then she is not the person whom you said the rioters last night described as Madge Wildfire?
6942Then the Tolbooth of Edinburgh is called the Heart of Mid- Lothian?
6942Then you are the wicked cause of my sister''s ruin?
6942Then, in Heaven''s name, what_ did_ you expect?
6942Then, what the_ deevil_ d''ye take the nominative and the dative cases to be?
6942Then, why can not the guilty be brought to justice, and the innocent freed?
6942To whom do you talk of a clear conscience, woman?
6942True; and you are, I think, several years older than your sister?
6942Use?
6942Very likely I might make some such observation,said Butler;"but the question now is, can I see Effie Deans?"
6942Very true, hinny,said he, succeeding forcibly in his attempt to get hold of her,"but suppose I should strip your cloak off first?"
6942Very well-- take your own time-- and what was the answer she made?
6942Vincovincentem?--Is he a lord of state, or a lord of seat?
6942Was it him?
6942Was not this girl,he said,"the daughter of David Deans, that had the parks at St. Leonard''s taken?
6942Was that the nearest road to Libberton?
6942Weel, Arniston? 6942 Weel, sir,"said Mr. Sharpitlaw to Butler,"what think ye now?"
6942Weel, weel, but somebody ye maun hae-- What think ye o''Kittlepunt?
6942What do you mean by that, sir?
6942What do you mean?
6942What do you want, gudewife?--Who are you?
6942What does she want here?
6942What needs I tell ye onything about it?
6942What needs ye be aye speering then at folk?
6942What say ye to the auld Laird of Cuffabout?
6942What shall we do, Ratcliffe?
6942What the devil is the matter with her now?
6942What time did he give better folk for preparing their account?
6942What was it that I was saying?
6942What was''t ye were speering at us, sir?
6942What''s the meaning o''this, Ratcliffe?
6942Where was ye yesterday at e''en, Madge?
6942Where was''t that Robertson and you were used to howff thegither? 6942 Which road did you take to St. Leonard''s Crags?"
6942Who is she?
6942Who is she?
6942Who or what are you,replied Butler, exceedingly and most unpleasantly surprised,"who charge me with such an errand?"
6942Who or what is he, Ratcliffe? 6942 Who?--Robertson?"
6942Who_ are_ you?--who is your bairn?
6942Whom did you see after you left the city?
6942Why do you use the word_ fear_ it?
6942Why, what meaneth this, Jeanie?
6942Will ye say sae?
6942Will you let_ me_ go with you? 6942 Will you not tell your father, or take him with you?"
6942Woodsetter?
6942Would they venture to defraud public justice?
6942Ye dinna ken whether ye are to get the free scule o''Dumfries or no, after hinging on and teaching it a''the simmer?
6942You are a daring rascal, sir,said the magistrate;"and how dare you hope times are mended with you to- day?"
6942You are, I think, the sister of the prisoner?
6942You asked her questions on the subject?
6942You shut up earlier than usual, probably on account of Captain Porteous''s affair?
6942Young Naemmo?
6942Your bonnet, father?
6942Your name is James Ratcliffe?
6942_ Your_ conscience, Rat?
6942''Your conscience, Rat?''
6942--Look out, Jock; what kind o''night is''t?"
6942--The damsel stinted in her song.--"Whare hae ye been sae late at e''en?"
6942A deep pause of a minute ensued, when Wildfire added, in a more composed tone,"Make your peace with Heaven.--Where is the clergyman?"
6942And being interrogated, why she forbore to take steps which her situation so peremptorily required?
6942And being interrogated, why she supposes it is now dead?
6942And if ye are deaf, what needs ye sit cockit up there, and keep folk scraughin''t''ye this gate?"
6942And it is now nearly come to,"What need one?"
6942And what could I say to her, but that she behoved to come and speak to Mr. Saddletree when he was at hame?
6942Are not we, like them, Scotsmen and burghers of Edinburgh?"
6942At my best, I was never half sae gude as ye were, and what for suld you begin to mak yoursell waur to save me, now that I am no worth saving?
6942But the question is, what''s to be dune?"
6942Butler?"
6942Butler?"
6942Butler?"
6942Butler?"
6942Can a man touch pitch and not be defiled?
6942Can you not state a case of_ cessio_ without your memorial?
6942Deans?"
6942Deans?"
6942Did na his eme[ Uncle] die and gang to his place wi''the name of the Bluidy Mackenyie?
6942Did you reckon what your life was worth, before you took the commission upon you?"
6942Do you see yonder crag to the right, over which appears the chimney of a lone house?
6942From whom?
6942His voice faltered as he asked,"whether nothing but a sense of her sister''s present distress occasioned her to talk in that manner?"
6942How the deil suld I ken onything of your bairn, huzzy?
6942I wonder how Queen Carline( if her name be Carline) wad hae liked to hae had ane o''her ain bairns in sic a venture?"
6942If ye neglect your warldly duties in the day of affliction, what confidence have I that ye mind the greater matters that concern salvation?
6942Interrogated if he did so?
6942Interrogated, if it died a natural death after birth?
6942Interrogated, if she confessed her situation to any one, or made any preparation for her confinement?
6942Interrogated, if the child was alive when it was born?
6942Interrogated, if the lodging was in the city or suburbs?
6942Interrogated, if the woman, in whose lodging she was, seemed to be a fit person to be with her in that situation?
6942Interrogated, if there was any other person in the lodging excepting themselves two?
6942Interrogated, what else the woman said to her?
6942Interrogated, what prevented him from keeping his promise?
6942Interrogated, what was the name of that person?
6942Interrogated, when the child was taken away from her?
6942Interrogated, where it now is?
6942Interrogated, where she lives?
6942Interrogated, whether she had ever seen the woman before she was wished to her, as she termed it, by the person whose name she refuses to answer?
6942Interrogated, whether she had herself, at any time, had any purpose of putting away the child by violence?
6942Interrogated, whether this woman was introduced to her by the said person verbally, or by word of mouth?
6942Interrogated, whether, when she left the house of Mr. Saddletree, she went up or down the street?
6942Interrogated, why she did not tell her story to her sister and father, and get force to search the house for her child, dead or alive?
6942Interrogated, why she now conceals the name of the woman, and the place of her abode?
6942Is this to be borne?--would our fathers have borne it?
6942Novit, suldna Jeanie Deans be enclosed?"
6942Now, do tell me, madam, how ye cam to think sae?''
6942O sleep ye sound, Sir James, she said, When ye suld rise and ride?
6942Or wha ever heard of a lawyer''s suffering either for ae religion or another?
6942Or what can ony ane have to say to me?"
6942Pray, Mr. Pattieson, have you been in Edinburgh?"
6942Ratcliffe?"
6942Saddletree?"
6942Saddletree?"
6942Saddletree?"
6942Saddletree?"
6942Saddletree?"
6942Saddletree?"
6942Sharpitlaw?"
6942She said,''Mem, have ye na far mair reason to be happy than me, wi''a gude husband and a fine family o''bairns, and plenty o''everything?
6942Surely my father is no weel?"
6942The Court then asked Mr. Fairbrother whether he had anything to say, why judgment should not follow on the verdict?
6942The usual questions were then put to her:--Whether any one had instructed her what evidence she had to deliver?
6942True; you mean nothing at_ first_--but when you asked her again, did she not tell you what ailed her?"
6942Was it not for many years the place in which the Scottish parliament met?
6942Was it strange or was it criminal, that she should have repelled their inquisitive impertinence with petulant denials?
6942Was this indeed the Roaring Lion, who goeth about seeking whom he may devour?
6942Wha kens wha''s turn it might be next?--But you saw him plainly?"
6942What I saw of him was not very favourable-- who, or what is he?"
6942What deevil could he hae to say to Jeanie Deans, or to ony woman on earth, that he suld gang awa and get his neck raxed for her?
6942What did ye wi''your wedding ring, ye little cutty quean, O?
6942What is your name?"
6942What other business is there before us?"
6942What signified his bringing a woman here to snotter and snivel, and bather their Lordships?
6942When they entered the Court- room, Deans asked the Laird, in a tremulous whisper,"Where will_ she_ sit?"
6942When this daring and yet sly freebooter was out of hearing, the magistrate asked the city clerk,"what he thought of the fellow''s assurance?"
6942Where will he ever get a Cameronian advocate?
6942Whether any one had given or promised her any good deed, hire, or reward, for her testimony?
6942Whether she had any malice or ill- will at his Majesty''s Advocate, being the party against whom she was cited as a witness?
6942Who else had an interest in a deed so inhuman?
6942Why should not the Tolbooth have its''Last Speech, Confession, and Dying Words?''
6942Why will you not let me be your assistant-- your protector, or at least your adviser?"
6942Will it not stick to us, and to our bairns, and to their very bairns''bairns?
6942Will this stain, d''ye think, ever be forgotten, as lang as our heads are abune the grund?
6942You saw your sister during the period preceding the birth of her child-- what is so natural as that she should have mentioned her condition to you?
6942again reiterated Butler impatiently.--"Who could that woman be?"
6942and has she not a sister?"
6942and winna he be kend by that name sae lang as there''s a Scots tongue to speak the word?
6942answered the criminal,"since it maun be sae, I saw Geordie Robertson among the boys that brake the jail; I suppose that will do me some gude?"
6942answered the fiscal, still more disappointed--"what made you leave the woman?"
6942are only worth the black coat I wear; but I am young-- I owe much to the family-- Can I do nothing?"
6942but we are a hopeful family, to be twa o''us in the Guard at ance-- But there were better days wi''us ance-- were there na, mither?"
6942echoed Halkit--"I suppose you mean he is your one and only client?"
6942echoed the beldam"and what business has a blackguard like you to ca''an honest woman''s bairn out o''her ain name?"
6942exclaimed the magistrate;"a whipping- post, I suppose, you mean?"
6942he repeated--"the assistant of the schoolmaster at Liberton?"
6942he said,"or would ye execute an act of justice as if it were a crime and a cruelty?
6942how is it in my power?"
6942is na that braid Scots?"
6942is she innocent or guilty?"
6942lay that and that together?
6942not remember moonlight, and Muschat''s Cairn, and Rob and Rat?"
6942or dispone Beersheba, when it lies sae weel into my ain plaid- nuik?
6942said Effie, with something like awakened interest-- for life is dear even to those who feel it is a burden--"Wha tauld ye that, Jeanie?"
6942said Jeanie, eagerly;"and what did he say?"
6942said Ratcliffe, surprised,"is this your honour?"
6942said Saddletree, impatiently;"didna ye get baith liberty and conscience made fast, and settled by tailzie on you and your heirs for ever?"
6942said Saddletree, looking grave,--"siller will certainly do it in the Parliament House, if ony thing_ can_ do it; but where''s the siller to come frae?
6942said Sharpitlaw to Ratcliffe--"Can you not get her forward?"
6942said the good woman;"ye are looking as white as a sheet; will ye tak a dram?"
6942said the hopeful jurisconsult,"or wherefore should I, since it is well known these Delilahs seduce my wisers and my betters?
6942said the impatient magistrate--"Can she not tell her business, or go away?"
6942said the interrogator--"You were in a hurry to tell the sight you had witnessed, I suppose?"
6942said the prisoner"Isna my crown, my honour, removed?
6942tell me wha has taen''t away, or what they hae dune wi''t?"
6942this idle and thoughtless waste of time, to what evils had it not finally led?
6942what Robertson?"
6942what the deil ails ye now?--I thought we had settled a''that?"
6942you know, I suppose?"
6943''Who makes the bridal bed, Birdie, say truly?'' 6943 About the siller?"
6943Affront?
6943An island?
6943And Effie?
6943And Effie?--and Effie, dear father?
6943And I positively must not ask you how you have come by all this money?
6943And a what?
6943And did she say nae mair about me?
6943And does the Duke live on that high rock, then?
6943And does your Honour think,said Jeanie,"that will do as weel as if I were to take my tap in my lap, and slip my ways hame again on my ain errand?"
6943And how came you to believe that she did not speak the fatal truth?
6943And how_ did_ you escape?
6943And so if we had mair siller, we might buy that bonny pasture- ground, where the grass comes so early?
6943And that leddy was the Queen herself?
6943And were you sure aye to_ say your_ Grace to him?
6943And wha''s this o''t?
6943And what for no, Reuben?
6943And what is his name, pray?
6943And what is it, my good girl?
6943And what is that?
6943And what sort of person is this companion of hers?
6943And who cares if he does?
6943And who was Gentle George?
6943And wi''that man?--that fearfu''man?
6943And would you go nae length for revenge?
6943And your father-- and your friends?
6943And-- Mr. Butler-- he wasna weel when I gaed awa?
6943And-- and( fain would she have said Butler, but she modified the direct inquiry)--"and Mr. and Mrs. Saddletree-- and Dumbiedikes-- and a''friends?"
6943Are ye sure ye ken the way ye are taking us?
6943Are you sure you know the way?
6943As he was thus speaking, a woman of the neighbourhood, coming into the room, demanded of him what her fortune should be? 6943 Ay?
6943But I suppose,continued the Queen,"if you were possessed of such a secret, you would hold it a matter of conscience to keep it to yourself?"
6943But are you really married to my sister, sir?
6943But how can it be helped, man?
6943But tell me,said Butler,"is it anything that distresses your own mind?"
6943But what account did the wretched woman give of Effie and the bairn?
6943But what are we to do then?
6943But what is the matter with you?
6943But what sort of a lad was he?
6943But would that save my sister?
6943But ye''ll be back belive?
6943But your Christian name, by which you were baptized?
6943But, if I were to slacken them, you would harm me?
6943But, sir, your Grace,said Jeanie,"if it wasna ower muckle trouble, wad it no be better to tell me what I should say, and I could get it by heart?"
6943But,continued Gager Tramp,"thinkest thou the daughter o''yon hangit body isna as rank a witch as ho?"
6943But_ can_ the king gie her mercy?
6943Can it be really true, that it is on Sir George''s account that you have been attempting to apprehend this fellow?
6943Certainly, it shall be as you choose-- But who on earth ever pitched on such a hiding- place for temporal treasures?
6943Could we not land on this side of the headland,asked Sir George,"and so gain some shelter?"
6943D-- n her, why must she needs speak the truth, when she could have as well said anything else she had a mind?
6943Dear Mrs. Balchristie,replied Jeanie, in a submissive tone,"d''ye no mind me?--d''ye no mind Jeanie Deans?"
6943Did ye never read the Pilgrim''s Progress? 6943 Did you wish to speak with me, my bonny lass?"
6943Do I ken the road?--Wasna I mony a day living here, and what for shouldna I ken the road? 6943 Do ye think, ye ungratefu''wretch, that I am gaun to let you sit doun upon my father''s grave?
6943Do you say so before my face?
6943Do you think the pardon will be in it, sir?
6943Does he admire his lady as much as other people do?
6943Does your Honour like cheese?
6943Douce Davie Deans, the auld doited whig body''s daughter, in a gipsy''s barn, and the night setting in? 6943 Had she been a''that time at Argyle House?
6943Hark ye,he exclaimed from the window,"ye auld limb of Satan-- wha the deil gies you commission to guide an honest man''s daughter that gate?"
6943Has the Caroline been long arrived?
6943Have you any message for her from his Grace the Duke of Argyle, Mr. Archibald? 6943 Have you no curiosity to see what is in the little pocket- book?"
6943Her name must be Campbell, at least?
6943His son or grandson, I''m thinking,said Ratcliffe,"but what o''that?"
6943How comes that, Jeanie?
6943How dare ye touch papa''s books when he is away?
6943How dost do, Tummas?
6943I hope there is nae bad company on the road, sir?
6943In the open court- yard!--Na, na, that wad never do, lass; we mauna guide ye that gate neither-- And how''s that douce honest man, your father?
6943In trouble!--that signifies in prison, I suppose?
6943Is all over?
6943Is it law business?
6943Is my cousin going out, Mr. Archibald? 6943 Is she a pretty girl?"
6943Is that the minister,said Jeanie,"who preached""The minister?
6943Is the contraband trade permitted here so openly?
6943Is yon high castle the Duke''s hoose?
6943It was but a tenpenny tow lost,she said,"and what was that to a woman''s life?"
6943Kenst thou this wee bit paper amang the rest, man?
6943Like it?
6943Look at me,he said,"Jeanie Deans; can you not recollect me?"
6943May I inquire if you think of returning home soon?
6943Myself?
6943Nae mair but kind and Christian wishes-- what suld she hae said?
6943Never in Bedlam?
6943No understand me, man? 6943 O sir,"said Jeanie,"did the Scripture never come into your mind,''Vengeance is mine, and I will repay it?''"
6943O ye unhappy boy,said Jeanie,"do ye ken what will come o''ye when ye die?"
6943O, dear Tyburn Tam, man, what ill will the blades of the young wheat do to the puir nag?
6943Obligations?--The Duke?--Obligations to Reuben Butler-- Reuben Butler a placed minister of the Kirk of Scotland?
6943Outby his knowledge, Jeanie!--Is that right? 6943 Particularly to the young person?"
6943Pay? 6943 Perhaps, sir, you intend to fill up the cup of disobedience and profligacy by forming a low and disgraceful marriage?
6943Porteous?
6943Shall we not walk upon the high- road?
6943Thank God-- but O, dear father, Effie?--Effie?
6943That is true, too,said Jeanie;"but I am so confused in my mind-- But does your honour think there is a certainty of Effie''s pardon then?"
6943The what?
6943Then he must be a well- wisher, I suspect?
6943Then it is your real intention to leave this part of the country, and proceed to London?
6943Then why do n''t you hang-- hang-- hang him?
6943Then, though she has not much the air_ d''une grande dame,_ I suppose she is some thirtieth cousin in the terrible CHAPTER of Scottish genealogy?
6943There would be more sense in that, than in wreaking yourself here upon two wenches that have done you and your daughter no ill."No ill?
6943These are two fine young mountaineers-- Yours, madam, I presume?
6943This is a strange business, to be sure, Mr. Archibald,said the lady;"but I suppose I must make the best on''t.--Are you sure the boat will not sink?
6943Thomas was very right, Mr. Stubbs; and what has, become of the other most unfortunate being?
6943Thou canst read this book, canst thou, young woman?
6943Use every man according to his deserts, Mr. Butler, and who shall escape whipping? 6943 What have you to say, sir?"
6943What is the affair, my Lord?
6943What is your daughter''s name, madam?
6943What is your first name?
6943What may be the value of your preferment?
6943What the devil is she after now, Frank?
6943What the devil is the wench afraid of?
6943What would ye do if you could escape from this place, and the death you are to die to- morrow morning?
6943What''s brought thee back again, thou silly donnot, to plague this parish? 6943 What''s the fule thing shaking for?"
6943Where am I to go then?
6943Where did you get the book, ye little hempie?
6943Where is the silly bairn gaun?
6943Which way lies Inverary?
6943Who are you, young woman?
6943Who-- Sir George? 6943 Why will you say so?"
6943Why, but poorly-- but poorly, Measter Stubbs.--Are you wanting to see his Reverence?
6943Without taking any steps for her relief?
6943Ye''ll no teach me law, I think, neighbour-- me that has four gaun pleas, and might hae had fourteen, an it hadna been the gudewife? 6943 Yes, Jeanie,"said Butler;"but their magnificence-- their retinue-- the difficulty of getting audience?"
6943You are not for gaun intill Glasgow then?
6943Your bairn?
6943Your life, sir?
6943_ How_ did I escape?
6943''How, boy,''quoth I;''what company have you there?''
6943And from whom could she hope for assistance if not from Mr. Staunton?
6943And have you really come up from Edinburgh on foot, to attempt this hopeless solicitation for your sister''s life?"
6943And now, will pardon, comfort, kindness, draw The youth from vice?
6943And so, wishing you no evil, but even your best good, that you may be turned from your iniquity( for why suld ye die?)
6943Are you aware of the law of this country-- that if you lodge this charge, you will be bound over to prosecute this gang?"
6943At length she could not help asking her taciturn companion,"Whilk way they were going?"
6943At this moment, looking at his companion, he asked him whether he felt himself ill?
6943But fye upon the knave Death, that will seize upon those bodies of yours; and where will all your fiddling and flinging be then?''
6943But tell me, and lose no time in doing so, what you are doing in this country?
6943But when was she to see Butler?
6943But where was the youth who might eventually be called to the honours and estates of this ancient family?
6943But who is this?
6943But, Jeanie lass, what brings you out to Liberton sae air in the morning, and your father lying ill in the Luckenbooths?"
6943D''ye ken naebody wad gie ye a letter to him?"
6943D''ye think I do not know Gaelic from Latin?"
6943Did Fortune guide, Or rather Destiny, our bark, to which We could appoint no port, to this best place?
6943Did he gain his precarious bread by some petty trade, by menial toil, by violence, or by theft?
6943Does your old blind eyes see no farther than that?
6943Even this wench, for aught I can tell, may be a depositary of the secret.--Hark you, young woman, had you any friends engaged in the Porteous mob?"
6943Give me some of the cordial which stands on that table.--Why do you tremble?
6943Glass?--How are all our friends in the North?''
6943Hast no cousin or sister, lass, that such an offer would suit?"
6943Hast no done mischief enow already, wi''thy murders and thy witcherings?"
6943Hast thou brought ony more bastards wi''thee to lay to honest men''s doors?
6943Havena I missed the chance to turn out as_ clarissimus_ an_ ictus,_ as auld Grunwiggin himself?--Whatfor dinna ye speak, Mr. Butler?
6943He was the grandsire of one you are engaged to?"
6943I aye answer to the name, though it''s no my ain, for what''s the use of making a fash?"
6943I demanded of him, how they got under that hill?
6943I guess by your dress, you are just come up from poor Scotland-- Did you come through the streets in your tartan plaid?"
6943I then asked him, how I should know what he said to be true?
6943If he is as you say, dye think he''ll ever marry a moon- calf like Madge?
6943Jeanie courteously declined the tankard, and inquired what was her"lawing?"
6943Leonard''s?"
6943Meiklehose shook his head, and allowed it was"far frae beseeming-- But what will ye say?
6943Must she then actually beg her way to London?
6943On what heath was he wandering, and shrouded by what mean disguise?
6943She was mistaken, however, for Madge coloured, and replied with some anger,"_ My_ bairn?
6943So, tell me what all this is about, and what''s to be done for you that one can do decently?"
6943The good woman abridged the period of hesitation by inquiring,"Was ye wanting the gudeman or me, lass?"
6943The robber answered in a louder tone,"Fair enough that; and what the devil is your business with it?"
6943Then, addressing his son, he said sternly,"Now, sir, what new proof of your infamy have you to impart to me?"
6943There''s no a pleasanter cell in Bedlam, for as braw a place as it is on the outside.--Were ye ever in Bedlam?"
6943They laid violent hands on Madge, and tore her from the carriage, exclaiming--"What, doest stop folk o''king''s high- way?
6943Thomas Young said,''Sir, what do ye pursue us for?''
6943Wad I no hae been a_ clarissimus ictus?_--Eh, man?"
6943Was the Duke with her the whole time?
6943Wha wad hae thought but mysell of making a bolt of my ain back- bane?
6943Wha wad mind what he said in the pu''pit, that had to wife the sister of a woman that was condemned for sic wickedness?"
6943What could tempt you, young woman, to address yourself to me?"
6943What harm can it possibly do to tell me in what situation your sister stands, and your own expectations of being able to assist her?
6943What is your particular interest in this young woman?
6943What right had she to make a barter between the lives of Staunton and of Effie, and to sacrifice the one for the safety of the other?
6943What see you there, That hath so cowarded and chased your blood Out of appearance?
6943What would my father or Reuben Butler think if I were to tell them there are sic folk in the world?
6943What, a freeholder of Mid- Lothian, is he not?"
6943What,"he said,"would Mr. Butler think of as an answer, if the offer should be made to him?"
6943When shall I marry me?''
6943When the Laird came up with Jeanie, the first words he uttered were,--"Jeanie, they say ane shouldna aye take a woman at her first word?"
6943Wilt thou go on with me?
6943You refuse, however, to see me, and your conduct may be natural-- but is it wise?
6943_ Ictus_ is Latin for a lawyer, is it not?"
6943and had she seen the Duchess?
6943and had she seen the young ladies-- and specially Lady Caroline Campbell?"
6943and have you really no better knowledge where she is to be found?"
6943asked Jeanie, with lips and cheeks as pale as ashes,--"and is there nae hope for her?"
6943but she comes from Inverary or Argyleshire?"
6943exclaimed David--"Reuben Butler, the usher at Liberton?"
6943for such seemed the alternative; or must she turn back, and solicit her father for money?
6943how came ye here alone, and at this hour, and on the wild seabeach?--Are you sure it''s your ain living sell?"
6943is this Sunday?"
6943or does thou think to burden us with this goose, that''s as hare- brained as thysell, as if rates were no up enow?
6943or have ye been reading your prayers backward, to bring up my auld acquaintance the deil amang ye?"
6943or it may be--''Have ye heard from the North lately?''
6943or were ye cutting the grunter''s weasand that Tam brought in this morning?
6943said Dumbiedikes;"how is that possible?
6943said Jeanie, recollecting herself suddenly,"what was he to that Argyle that suffered in my father''s time-- in the persecution?"
6943said Jeanie--"Why do you weep so bitterly?"
6943said Jeanie.--"Can the unhappy bairn hae left you for that villain?"
6943said Mr. Staunton;"then you charge them with robbery, I suppose?"
6943said Mrs. Glass,"what for needed he to have telled that of his ain country, and to the English folk abune a''?
6943said Mrs. Glass;"is not that uncommon, Mr. Archibald?
6943said the Duke, hastily--"he has not deserted you on that account, has he?"
6943said the Duke;"I have thrice seen him fou, and only once heard the sound of his voice-- Is he a cousin of yours, Jeanie?"
6943said the beadle--"and how''s young Measter Staunton?"
6943said the fat dame to poor Jeanie, whom she did not immediately recognise,"scouping about a decent house at sic an hour in the morning?"
6943said the infuriated damsel to Archibald,"how dare you use a person like me in this way?"
6943said the shorter ruffian;"do ye think gentlemen are to hazard their lives on the road to be cheated in this way?
6943that is always what you think of, Stubbs-- But, has she sense?--has she her wits?--has she the capacity of taking care of herself?"
6943then, if the Laird starts, I suppose my friend Butler must be in some danger?"
6943they''re but a snare-- I ance thought better o''them, and what came o''t?"
6943was it e''en sae, Dame Hinchup?"
6943what ca''st thou that?"
6943what have ye done with the horse?"
6943what is your business with----, or with heaven or hell either?"
6943what poor ability''s in me To do him good?
6943what regard have you ever paid to it?
6943what thing of sea or land-- Female of sex it seems-- That so bedeck''d, ornate, and gay, Comes this way sailing?
6943what wad ye be sorry for?"
6943who would live turmoiled in a court, And may enjoy such quiet walks as these?
6943will honour, duty, law?
6943ye are joking, lad-- wha wad touch bairns?
30190Alone?
30190And,sez I,"have you been all this time, months and months, a considerin''?"
30190Arvilly?
30190But,sez I,"did you ever expect to set your mortal eyes on''t?"
30190Did I ask you to, Josiah?
30190Did he turn away from sinners and the evils of the sinful world and say they wuz too vile for him to mix with?
30190Did it make it any better for him to cry and take on? 30190 Did you see them officers last night to the table eatin''sass with a knife?
30190Did you shed tears, Josiah?
30190Do you spoze Serintha Jane would git excited and look any different and talk any faster or louder if the house should get afire?
30190Do you think so? 30190 Do you vote, Elder Minkley?"
30190Eat,sez I,"who can eat in such a time as this?"
30190How can the crazed brain of a drunken man help a nation only to weaken and destroy? 30190 How did Ury fix it?"
30190How did you git such dretful fears of marriage?
30190How duz Robert Strong feel about it?
30190How duz he protect her?
30190How is the little girl different?
30190How long do you lay out to wait, Josiah Allen?
30190I-- I murder a man?
30190If a man wuz dyin''of thirst, and that cup could be used to save him, do n''t you spoze the Lord would want it used for that, Elder Wessel?
30190In secret?
30190Is that much like that little slip of Sister Bobbett''s growin''in a tea- cup? 30190 Josiah,"sez I,"do you realize what a glorious day this is and how much, how much we have to be thankful for?"
30190Mar?
30190Neighbor?
30190Oh, Samantha,sez he anxiously,"ca n''t you take a joke?
30190Oh, why do n''t they call it a cow or a brindle calf?
30190Or danger?
30190Sister Henzy?
30190Tea?
30190Tirzah Ann?
30190Well, I said hen, did n''t I?
30190Well, then what made him eat it, grandpa?
30190Well, what did you tell him, Josiah Allen?
30190Well, what of it? 30190 Well, you can spozen the case, ca n''t you?
30190Well,sez Arvilly,"what verdict do you think that fool brought in?"
30190Well,sez I,"cinnamon trees; who ever thought of seein''cinnamon trees?"
30190What a companion Waitstill would be for him?
30190What are you a goin''to do, Samantha?
30190What are you goin''to do? 30190 What do you mean, Samantha?"
30190What do you spoze is goin''on inside of that great roarin'', blazin''monster?
30190What duz he say to that?
30190What duz she say about it?
30190What fool?
30190What hinders the poor man from''tendin''socials?
30190What is it, Samantha?
30190What will happen next to me?
30190What would you do if you went back?
30190Where art thou, Josiah, and when shall we meet agin? 30190 Where is Waitstill Webb?"
30190Where will you put it?
30190Who is accountable for the death of my husband? 30190 Who is the fourth?"
30190Who is the third?
30190Why did n''t Adam take the apple away from her and throw it away? 30190 Why should you leave it to Ury?
30190Why,sez Meechim,"how could he see it?
30190Will you vote as you pray?
30190William?
30190Agin he looked anxiously round as much as to say, oh why, why do n''t somebody else come to hear this remarkable talk?
30190Ah, how, how could I forgit him?
30190Am I to leave you, Josiah?"
30190And Arvilly sez,"Where will you git your sling, and where will you git your Davids?"
30190And I sez,"She wuz fainted away, how could she holler?"
30190And I sez,"Why did n''t Adam do as you always do, Josiah, ketch up a stick and put an end to it?"
30190And I sez:"No, dear lamb; what is it sayin''?"
30190And I sez:"What makes you try to?
30190And I, forgittin''his fashionable aims, sez to him,"See some what, Josiah?"
30190And Josiah says,"Who is Pali?"
30190And Josiah sez,"Why do n''t you say you wish you wuz a elephant and could look on?
30190And Josiah sez:"What say, Samantha?"
30190And Josiah whispered back in a loud shrill whisper that I know they hearn:"If they wanted to see Go- ethe, why did n''t they say Go- ethe?"
30190And Josiah whispered to me and sez,"Gerty who?
30190And Tommy called down,"What say, grandma?"
30190And Tommy looked at him in wonder,"Did the apple make him sick, grandpa?"
30190And Tommy sez,"Hain''t your heart here too, grandma?
30190And are you sick a- bed?
30190And he added with a sarcastick smile,"Do n''t that make you think of poker?
30190And how did the world receive it?
30190And if he can carry letters so much cheaper why ca n''t he carry packages at just the same reduced rate, and talk over the wires, etc., etc.?
30190And if it wuz your boy what would you say of the legalized crime that made him so?
30190And sez I, reasonable:"What is the use, Mr. Astofeller, of so much money, anyway?
30190And so it went on, sad things put me in mind of him and joyful things, all, all speakin''of him, and how, how wuz I to brook the separation?
30190And the hull twelve sez,"What did n''t the Lord mean?
30190And where should I be?"
30190And who do you spoze stood there?
30190And who do you spoze wuz to be librarian and live here clost to her idol?
30190And why, why do I not hear from thee?"
30190And wuz not I happy?
30190And wuzn''t Thomas J. happy?
30190Are you a- backslidin''or hain''t you?"
30190Arvilly snapped out:"What good will that do if we carry private hells to burn''em up before they die?
30190But Arvilly always puttin''her oar in and always hash on our govermunt, sez:"Why, what is this different from what we do in America?"
30190But Arvilly sez,"Well, how much better is it in the United States-- or most of''em?
30190But I answered her evasive, and agin I giv vent to a low groan, and sez to myself,"Can I let the Pacific Ocean roll between me and Josiah?
30190But I drawed Arvilly''s attention to one on''em that seemed extra dextrious in managin''his board and sez,"How under the sun duz he do it, Arvilly?"
30190But I sez:"Josiah Allen, do you want some liniment on your hand and your tongue?
30190But anon and bime bye these dark meditations died away, for what wuz cloud or cold, or white icy shores?
30190But can you do it?"
30190But could I-- could I take it?
30190But fifty years hence where will her beauty be, if she wuz married alone for that?
30190But how could they, dribblin''along as they did ten hunderd years?
30190But how could twenty- two hands rest on that one small fore- top?
30190But how did them doves know two from three?
30190But how did they ever entice''em into that saloon?"
30190But then what two folks ever did see each other?
30190But what did that feeble old man want of twenty carriages?
30190But what of that?
30190But where is there anything perfect here below?
30190But who wuz goin''with Tommy?
30190But who wuz sot down guilty in God''s great book of Justice that day?
30190But why should I sadden and depress the hearts of a good natered public?
30190But why should n''t there be beautiful things in a country where every one is a artist?
30190But, sez I to myself almost instinctively:"What if Sister Bobbett wuz here?
30190Can I not everywhere behold the mirrors of the sun and stars?
30190Could I frighten him into the right path?
30190Could I influence him for the right?
30190Could I leave him?
30190Could I live through it?
30190Could it be so?
30190Could it be?
30190Could it be?
30190Dear Josiah, should I never see thee agin?
30190Did I ever expect to witness such a seen?
30190Did the Hongkongers ever think on''t, that they wuz ten thousand milds from Jonesville?
30190Did they want to make me their brides?
30190Did you ever think of seein''''em growin''fifty feet high?
30190Do you know who you''re speakin''to?"
30190Do you spoze I can git into my hen house ten thousand milds off to git you a hen?
30190Does he keep your conscience and clean it off when it gits black and nasty by such doin''s as this?"
30190Dorothy never knowed it-- what wuz the use of cloudin''her bright young life with the awful shadder?
30190For what advantage is liberty of the body when the soul, the weak will, is bound in the most galling of chains?
30190For what duz the Book say?
30190For you must remember what it sez:"If you who have plenty give not to your brother in need, how dwelleth the love of God in you?
30190Had he passed away callin''on my name?
30190Had his fond heart broken under the too great strain?
30190Hain''t that better than discontent and envy and despair, bloody riots and revolutions?
30190Hain''t that better, Mr. Astofeller, than to leave jest money for a fashionable wife and golf- playin''sons to run through?"
30190Have I got to see a back- slidden Josiah?"
30190He acted real puggicky and sez:"Ca n''t I ever please you, Samantha?
30190He hurried away, sayin''agin in them same heart- breakin''axents:"Where is Lucia?"
30190He obeyed me implicitly, and sez he anxiously, as he laid''em all on the bed:"You''ve gin up the idee, hain''t you, Samantha?"
30190He turned quick as a wink,"Then you wo n''t help me?"
30190He wuz rejoiced to see me I knowed, though his words wuz:"What under the sun wuz you hangin''round and preachin''to a Emperor for?
30190He''s afraid of race suicide; tell him I''m the father of forty- seven children-- will not that touch his heart?"
30190Holy Land, wuz I, indeed, to see thee?
30190How can a righteous ruler handle this menace to freedom and purity save to stamp it beneath his feet?
30190How can children born under the curse of drink be otherwise than a burden and curse to the public weal?
30190How can she be ketched up, weighin''pretty nigh two hundred?"
30190How can the Scriptures be fulfilled if the rich lift up the poor and make them wealthy?
30190How could you do it, Josiah?"
30190How could you done it?
30190How did he feel when he writ it?
30190How duz he look?"
30190How is Christina and Alfonso?
30190How long,"sez I, turning toward him fierce in my aspect,"how long is the Lord and decent folks goin''to allow such things to go on?"
30190How was he?
30190How would it be with her if thrown with a wolf in sheep''s clothing?
30190I have asked him sometimes,"Who is Carabi, I hearn you talkin''to out in the yard?
30190I looked daggers at him out of my eyes and sez:"What wo n''t you take it into your head to do next, Josiah Allen?"
30190I looked full in his face and sez,"Has foreign travel shook your morals till they begin to tottle?
30190I sez agin,"reachin''out her long arms clear acrost the Pacific to lead them sweet girls into the pit she has dug for her soldiers?
30190I sez to Josiah:"Did I ever expect to see allspice trees?"
30190I sez,"Arvilly, ca n''t you wear sunthin''more appropriate to the occasion?"
30190I sez,"Josiah Allen, be you a Methodist deacon, or be you not?
30190I sithed,"why is it that the apron strings of Duty are so often made of black crape, but yet I must cling to''em?"
30190I then spoke in anxious, appealin''axents:"Arvilly, are you there?
30190I thought to myself:"Is Arvilly a- goin''to come up missin'', as our dear Aronette did?"
30190I wonder how he felt as he stood amongst his playmates and if a shadow of what wuz to come rested on his young heart?
30190I wuz at my wits''end; I glanced at the door; there wuz no lock on it; what should I do?
30190Is it love that makes a ma stand by, and see her boy turn summer sets and warhoop in meetin''-houses?
30190Is she any relation of old Ike Montague of North Loontown?"
30190It beats all how much help there is here, the halls seemed full on''em, but what would our hired help say if we made''em dress like these Hindus?
30190It wuz my pride in Jonesville; wuz I to lose my life for it?
30190Josiah looked at the card intently and then whispered to me:"How be I goin''to know what I am eatin''from these duck tracks?"
30190Josiah sez:"Why did n''t Ni- obe keep her mouth shet then?"
30190Josiah stepped up and held out his hand, and sez:"Elder, I''m glad to see you, how do you do?
30190Josiah whispered to me:"How be I agoin''to smoke tobacco, Samantha?
30190Josiah worried some about it, and sez:"What duz one old man want of''leven thousand rooms?
30190May I call you Auntie?"
30190Miss Meechim said as we started back:"Did you ever see the like?
30190Must I tell the shameful facts?
30190Not one word from my beloved pardner do I hear-- is Josiah dead?"
30190Oh, why do n''t Robert come and protect her?"
30190Or are you dead?
30190Or do you want me to steal one for you?"
30190Or what wife ever see her husband''s real temper and character until after years of experience?"
30190Or wuz it my good looks that wuz ondoin''of me?
30190Part from your pardner for months and months?"
30190Plow would I looked at my mother- in- law''s funeral with a white night gown on and my hair braided down my back with a white ribbin on it?
30190Sez Arvilly,"Do you believe in following the Lord Jesus Christ?"
30190Sez Arvilly,"What bridegroom ever did see his bride as she really wuz?
30190Sez Arvilly:"Why not vote that men shall fasten their trousers to their vests with hook and eyes, they are so much less dangerous?"
30190Sez I coldly,"Then you lay out to go to meetin''horseback, do you?
30190Sez I, coldly,"How do you spell dogs, Josiah Allen?"
30190Sez I,"Do you mean the coolies?"
30190Sez I,"If you''re guiltless what makes you look so meachin?"
30190Sez I:"Do you remember my little oleander growin''in a sap bucket, Josiah?
30190Sez I:"What would Miss Bobbett and Sister Henzy say if they could see''em?"
30190Sez Josiah,"What if Cousin Zebedee Allen could n''t wear whiskers?
30190Sez he agin,"Rich men have their clubs to which they may go, and drink all they choose-- carouse, do as they please, and why not poor men, too?"
30190Sez he to me one day:"I spoze they represent the new young woman?"
30190Sez he to the dealer:"What do you mean by it, you dishonest tike, you?
30190Sez he,"What foe do you allude to, mam?"
30190Sez he,"What sovereign, madam, do you represent, and from what country do you come?"
30190Sez he:"You consarned fool, how do you spoze I can give you a hen?
30190Sez she,"Oh, why ca n''t they believe as we do in America?
30190Sez she,"Would you want to set down happy, and rock, and eat peanuts, if you knew that your husband and children wuz drowndin''out in the canal?"
30190Sez she:"Why do n''t they vote agin men''s suspenders?
30190She was settin''in a big rocken''-chair rocken voyolently, and as I went past her she says:"Have we got to New York yet?"
30190She wuz a foreigner, how could she know what I said?
30190Swish, swash, roar, roar, Where is Josiah?
30190There are lots of men carryin''round serpents, and I sez to Josiah,"Who under the sun would want to buy a snake unless they wuz crazy?"
30190They could n''t have been got into any boat, and how did they do it?
30190They wuz dressed well, but dretful bulged out and swollen lookin'', and I sez to their ma one day:"Are your children dropsical?"
30190Thomas J. had got independent rich, and Maggie has come into a large property; they had means enough, but who wuz to go with him?
30190Till the hard experience of married life brought out her hidden traits, good and bad?
30190Tommy''s pretty face looked sad and he sez:"Why do good folks let it go on?"
30190Was you prepared to see such magnificence, Josiah Allen''s wife?"
30190We leave all we love, we go out and fight your battles when you tell us to, we face mutilation and death for you-- isn''t that enough?
30190What did Miss Meechim know of that hallowed clime?
30190What did she know of the grief that wrung my heart?
30190What does she know of sin or sorrow, or worldliness or vanity?"
30190What hain''t them old eyes seen if she senses anything?
30190What have they done?"
30190What kind of a mouth must Lord Buddha have had if that wuz a sample of his teeth?
30190What more do you want?"
30190What would Sister Sylvester Bobbett say?
30190What would she say?"
30190What wuz aginst common sense?"
30190What-- what wuz goin''on way down in the depths below if this wuz the seen outside?
30190When did a woman ever have any voice in saying that there should be a war?
30190When shall I see thee agin?"
30190Where are its powerful attractions?
30190Where are you?
30190Where is Josiah?
30190Where is Lucia?"
30190Where is Mr. Saladin and his folks?
30190Where wuz the beauty and charm of that countenance-- that mouth that had spoke such wise words?
30190Where wuz they takin''me?
30190Where?
30190Where?"
30190Which looks the Worst in God''s sight?
30190Who can tell the mysteries of love?
30190Who is accountable for the death and everlastin''ruin of my son, my husband, my father and my lover?
30190Whoever heard of common breakfast at twelve M.?"
30190Whose hands made them statutes?
30190Why are you here without him?
30190Why ca n''t they all be Episcopalians?"
30190Why should I take off my specs to meet Elder Minkley?"
30190Why should anybody fear being burned if they had no knowledge of fire?"
30190Why the name fairly takes hold of my heart- strings,"sez I;"has he made well by his big manufactory?"
30190Why, as I told Josiah, Joel Gowdey is called our best carpenter in Jonesville, but if he should try to plan that buildin'', where would he be?
30190Why, how it would look for that pa to let some of his children heap up more money than they could use, whilst some of the children wuz starvin''?
30190Will Duty''s apron string hold up under the strain, or will it break with me?
30190Will it stretch out clear to China?
30190With the sweet gentleness and amiable nater of the Japans what will not the divine religion of the Lord Jesus do for them?
30190Would n''t it have looked dog queer to the other nations of the world to have seen it done?
30190Would n''t you turn the might of your great strength aginst it?"
30190Would the old mair never whinner joyfully at my appearance, or Snip bark a welcome?
30190Wuz I to perish in these wilds?
30190Wuz they carryin''me off for booty?
30190Wuz things comin''out as I wanted''em to come?
30190Wuzn''t I proud of my lantanna growin''in Ma Smith''s blue sugar bowl?
30190Wuzn''t it discouragin''to wash the feet of the poorer classes every year of her life, and then be shot down by one on''em?
30190You say a man dug this plate up; what if some woman should go to diggin''and find a plate provin''that one woman ort to have''leven husbands?"
30190and his dynasty?
30190and the children and the grandchildren?
30190can I believe my eyes?"
30190do you want us to tell how many sands there wuz on the flashing white beach that stretched out milds and milds?
30190had that man a idee of becomin''a Parsee?
30190how did they ever do it?
30190must I cling to thy apron- strings here and now, enjoyin''as I do poor health and in another woman''s room?
30190or she that wuz, is it you?"
30190sez I agin,"is it you?"
30190sez I in horrow,"you hain''t a goin''to jine the Mormons are you?"
30190sez I,"do n''t you want to see any happiness agin?"
30190sez I,"is it you?"
30190sez I,"why should you leave it to Ury?
30190sez Tommy inquirin''ly,"Do you mean my mamma or my grandma?"
30190sez he, takin''out his bandanna and weepin''in consort,"what is money or ambition compared to the idol of my heart?
30190sez he,"how would manny show off by the side of this dressin''?"
30190sez he,"what is the matter?"
30190sez he,"why I never sucked eggs when a boy; have I got to come to it in my old age?
30190what would she say?
30190when did I not think of him?
30190when should I see thee again?
30190where are you?
30190will my heart strings that are wrapped completely round that man, will they stretch out the enormous length they will have to and still keep hull?"
30190would not delerium ensue instead of sooth?
30190you do n''t say that that is Willieminy?"
30190you go and leave all the pleasures of this trip and go alone?
13450A flask of water from a spring on the sacred mountain would do, would n''t it?
13450A kind of sympathy in detachments, is it?
13450After the great excitement may I not have the pleasure of offering you a reviving cup of tea at my house? 13450 An acre or so?"
13450And Mr. Campbell is building a railroad, you say?
13450And are n''t you overjoyed for your little daughter to have such an opportunity to see the other side of the world?
13450And are we to have tea now?
13450And have you been writing a letter to thank the Compassionate God Jizu for your recovery?
13450And how''s little daughter''s friend?
13450And is that poor soul going to turn into a horse and pull me?
13450And sleep with your head on a bench and eat with chop sticks?
13450And to make assurance doubly sure, you thought you would just mention the matter to us?
13450And what did you tell her?
13450And will the''Cornet''go, too?
13450And you know many of them, I suppose?
13450And, surely,put in Miss Campbell,"if the machinery broke down, you would n''t compel your wife to repair it?"
13450Are n''t some of the descendants of the old warrior samurai rather fanatical?
13450Are these the ones?
13450Are they not charming little creatures?
13450Are we entertaining a family of sons this evening or have we just decided to celebrate whether we have sons or not?
13450Are you a Samurai?
13450Are you a spy?
13450Are you from Holland?
13450Are you going to Nikko, too, O''Kami San?
13450Are you going to build those little funny openwork bridges over all the streams?
13450Are you in a''riksha?
13450Are you looking for Onoye?
13450Are you one of the engineers on the new railroad they are building?
13450Are you quite well again, Onoye?
13450But how did it happen?
13450But what about?
13450But what did you bring with you? 13450 But what does Nancy know about opening a safe, Papa?
13450But what does she do?
13450But what is it, little girl?
13450But what is it?
13450But what of it?
13450But what were they?
13450But where are we going?
13450But who?
13450But why was it?
13450But why, pray, did n''t you take Nancy''s?
13450But why?
13450But you and Elinor and Mary have n''t any moles on the soles of your feet, have you?
13450Buxton, do n''t you think we''ve had enough?
13450By Jove,he exclaimed,"did you find that among my papers?"
13450Ca n''t we call her back and ask her some more questions?
13450Ca n''t we see her?
13450Ca n''t you tell me what happened?
13450Ca n''t you understand that we are sorry and anxious to help you?
13450Could n''t you get away and go with us?
13450Dearest old great- grandmama,cried Nancy, kneeling beside the aged pug and hiding her face in the tawny coat,"are you really glad to see me, too?"
13450Delightful weather, is n''t it? 13450 Did you forget it?"
13450Did you notice,said Mary,"that the Japanese lady in the''riksha wore her arm in a sling?"
13450Do I look like a wife beater?
13450Do n''t you think it''s very hot, Mary?
13450Do n''t you think that is rather an uncomplimentary question?
13450Do n''t you think we had better get your father, Billie, or one of the boys?
13450Do you love him?
13450Do you remember how she called Miss Campbell''the honorable old maid''?
13450Do you think I have the ghost of a chance?
13450Do you think Miss Campbell would consent to let you make a visit, Nancy?
13450Do you think Papa would look after himself if he thought I was lost on the mountain? 13450 Do you think she could be doing it for some one else?"
13450Do you think the rain will ever let up, Papa?
13450Does anyone in the house know?
13450For whom is the other tray, then?
13450Good heavens, Billie, what am I to do? 13450 Good heavens, Komatsu, what are we to do?
13450Good,exclaimed Billie,"I thought you were a Dutchman and it''s lots nicer to be an American, do n''t you think so?"
13450Goodness gracious me, what is it?
13450Has Nancy got it?
13450Has anything happened to you?
13450Has the doctor seen you?
13450Has the place caught fire, or did n''t we give the right amount of change?
13450Have we brought everything?
13450Have you been getting married?
13450How are you going to find her, Papa?
13450How could you?
13450How did she happen to go alone on a tramp like that? 13450 How do my five beautiful American ladies feel?"
13450How do we dress?
13450How do we give the tip?
13450How do you feel now, Miss Billie?
13450How do you know you shot him?
13450How do you know?
13450How would four young parties and another younger party, who claims to be old and rheumatic, but is n''t, like to take a trip?
13450How?
13450I do n''t like him, Papa,broke in Billie,"and-- you did n''t know that he has been married and divorced?"
13450I hope I did n''t kill him?
13450I thought you promised to call me Nicholas? 13450 If I almost passed away from homesickness in one night, how should I have borne it for-- for longer?"
13450In her room, I suppose?
13450In the name of good health and excellent digestion, tell me what are doormats?
13450Is it possible that this is your house we have broken into so rudely?
13450Is it possible that you are the Motor Maids who have ridden so many thousands of miles in a red car?
13450Is it your head, dear? 13450 Is n''t it cunning?"
13450Is n''t it?
13450Is there any rude person in the length and breadth of Japan?
13450Is there anything the matter with Onoye?
13450Is this a common occurrence with Miss Campbell?
13450Is this any inducement?
13450It''s romantic,observed Billie,"but what will Cousin Helen say?
13450Komatsu, where are they?
13450Mary, what shall I say?
13450May I ask your pardon for intruding on your beautiful gardens?
13450May I not see you again to- morrow, Miss Brown?
13450Meaning for the fifth the beauteous lady who lingers in her room?
13450Meaning, Mr. Ito, that the American floors are not as entirely free from dust as the Japanese floors?
13450Mr. Ito, will you sit on a mat on the floor or in a chair?
13450Much sickness?
13450Nancy has been greatly troubled about something lately, has n''t she, little daughter?
13450Nancy, Nancy, how could you?
13450Not even the austere old lady who chaperones you?
13450Not exactly? 13450 Not know, but honorable young lady not look inside?"
13450O''Kami San, will you not ask her?
13450Of course, you poor dear, but how did you injure yourself?
13450Oh, Nancy, Nancy,she groaned inwardly,"could it have really been you and are you out there in the typhoon?"
13450Oh, Nicholas,she cried,"do you think Papa could still be looking for me?
13450Oh, are these the swords of a samurai warrior?
13450Oh, you little witch,cried Miss Campbell, pinching Nancy''s cheek,"what shall I do with you, making eyes at these Orientals who do n''t understand?"
13450One never wears shoes in the house, Cousin, do n''t you remember? 13450 Papa did n''t come?"
13450Papa, do you think she could have gone to that widow? 13450 Papa, is there any trouble brewing in this house?"
13450Papa,she began,"ca n''t we take the''Comet''and go sight- seeing?
13450People?
13450Rested with humble refreshment in poor modest little house?
13450Scold her? 13450 Shall it be a love song?"
13450Shall we put on our kimonos and lie on the floor in the library?
13450Silk robe?
13450So you decided to come back to us, Nancy?
13450The guitar and the tea basket and the luncheon hamper--"And the mackintoshes?
13450The what?
13450Then what are you driving at?
13450Then you do know something?
13450There were only three Graces, were there not?
13450There''s nothing to knock on, so why knock?
13450They are foolish children, are n''t they, Komatsu?
13450They look as if they were going to play a joke on us,observed Billie,"Did you ever see anything so guileless and simple- hearted as they are?"
13450Think garden pretty, O''Kami San?
13450Was it an enemy of yours or some one who wanted to exterminate us because we are foreigners?
13450Was it in the library that night?
13450Well, Miss Nancy,''is''what?
13450Well, if you had one, what would you do with her? 13450 Were you the first person on the scene?
13450What are you going to do?
13450What are you talking about, Mary?
13450What did I tell you?
13450What did she mean about Papa''s work?
13450What did you say to him, Papa?
13450What do you do all day, O''Kami San?
13450What do you mean, Onoye?
13450What do you think, Cousin?
13450What in the name of all the powers are you driving at? 13450 What in the world are they doing?"
13450What in the world is the matter?
13450What is his name?
13450What is it all about, Papa?
13450What is it, Onoye?
13450What is it?
13450What is the matter with our little maid? 13450 What is the matter with this household?"
13450What kind of business, O''Haru?
13450What makes you think so, sweetheart?
13450What number do you want?
13450What on earth do you want?
13450What on earth?
13450What was the honorable wish of the young lady?
13450What''s the matter, Papa?
13450What''s the reason, then, Cousin Helen?
13450Where are the others?
13450Where are your friends? 13450 Where did you come from?"
13450Where did you find her, Buxton?
13450Where do you keep the real papers, Papa?
13450Where is Onoye, O''Haru?
13450Where is Onoye? 13450 Where is it to be this time, Nancy- Bell?"
13450Where was she yesterday?
13450Where''s your guitar?
13450Who am I to be scolding anybody?
13450Why are you so unhappy, Onoye? 13450 Why ca n''t we give him a real Japanese surprise party, Cousin Helen, and invite those nice men to come?
13450Why ca n''t we go to the Arakawa Ridge?
13450Why did n''t you borrow Nancy''s, Billie?
13450Why do you think she ran away?
13450Why does n''t that good- for- nothing brother teach her something? 13450 Why not let Komatsu go along?"
13450Why not?
13450Why on earth did n''t you tell me about it immediately?
13450Why, have you forgotten, boy, that this is your birthday? 13450 Why, what on earth is the matter with them?"
13450Why, you poor dear, what have I to forgive?
13450Will a hundred do?
13450Will honorable ladies be pleased to employ humble refreshment?
13450Will you ask your mother, Mr. Ito, if-- she suffers from rheumatism from sitting on the floor so much?
13450Will you lend me your raincoat, Miss Nancy?
13450Wo n''t some little maid keep a lonely man company?
13450Wo n''t you come with me first to get my handkerchief?
13450Would you be interested in seeing the garden?
13450Would you have us dress like men?
13450Yes, gracious lady"What is the matter with you?
13450You are not thinking of marrying, surely? 13450 You do n''t know who his first wife was, do you, Nicholas?"
13450You like all same American food? 13450 You mean four days ago?"
13450You mean that a young lady chauffeur would make an excellent wife?
13450You mean your husband is not young?
13450You wo n''t think me silly if I tell you this? 13450 ''But why hast thou done this deed?'' 13450 After all was she so sure about that other person crouching somewhere-- anywhere? 13450 After all, was it really necessary to warn Nancy not to talk too much and tell all she knew? 13450 After all, was it the act of true friendship to pick out all the defects and flaws in a friend''s nature? 13450 All the way, she kept thinking:What is Nancy- Bell up to?
13450Am I not right, Yoritomo?"
13450And besides what would she want with plans for government improvements or whatever they are?"
13450And do you call it lady- like and honorable?
13450Any girl who is cool- headed enough to run a motor car and-- and keep machinery in order and--""Well-- and what?"
13450Are you all right?"
13450Are you alone?"
13450Are you glad to see me, Billie, dearest?"
13450Are you sure nothing else is involved?
13450At last Billie said softly:"What are we going to do, Mary, dear?"
13450Beat her?"
13450Besides, what earthly use could she have with those papers?"
13450Billie knew perfectly well that Nancy was going to say:"Is Yoritomo going?"
13450But who could be in a bad humor on such a glorious morning?
13450But who is this caller, I wonder?"
13450Buxton?"
13450Ca n''t you tell them that?"
13450Campbell?"
13450Campbell?"
13450Can you deny it?
13450Can you imagine, Billie, spending two hours arranging three lilies in a bowl to make them look as if they had grown there?"
13450Could n''t you just tell Miss Nancy to be careful without explaining why?
13450Do n''t girls ever do that?
13450Do n''t you remember what the missionary on the steamer told us?
13450Do you live here, too?"
13450Do you suppose Nancy has anything on her mind?"
13450Do you think we could slip into the garden?
13450Does she know you were out walking?"
13450Drink it down?"
13450Everything is picturesque in this country from beggars to railroad bridges, and, speaking of bridges, have you explored the garden yet?
13450Fontaine?
13450Fontaine?"
13450Fontaine?"
13450His most esthetic Very magnetic Fancy took this turn: If I can wheedle A knife or a needle, Why not a Silver Churn?
13450How about it, old man?
13450How are you, little daughter?"
13450How can we go on like this when we are drifting farther and farther away?"
13450How could Nancy have thought of such things?
13450How did you know I was here?
13450How had she done it, this mysterious foreigner who could handle the English language even better than English people?
13450I do n''t suppose I could tempt either of you two hot- house plants to come with me, could I?"
13450I suppose we could n''t get to all the famous cherry blossom places in one afternoon?"
13450Is n''t that delightful, Captain Brown?"
13450Is she unhappy?
13450Is there anything we can do for you?"
13450It is true that Onoye was on the pay roll of the household servants, but then, did not her mother do work for two when Onoye was not actively engaged?
13450Ito, Nancy?"
13450Ito?"
13450Ito?"
13450Ito?"
13450Ito?"
13450Ito?"
13450Must I continue to smile and bob and bow forever?
13450No indigestion or pains at the neck or burning at the pit of the stomach?"
13450Oh, heavens, why did we count those old broken statues?"
13450Only Yoritomo''s face remained impassive, but who could tell what angry thoughts were hidden behind that mask- like face?
13450Perhaps you would like to explore the garden if you have had enough honorable refreshment?"
13450Promise?"
13450See?"
13450She began to sing softly to herself Elinor''s favorite song:"''Know''st thou the land of the citron bloom?''"
13450She was thrown to the floor; a shot; a cry-- was it her own or another person''s voice?
13450That skirt I caught-- that-- that something-- where is it?"
13450Then Nicholas cleared his throat and began in an embarrassed and hesitating way:"Miss Billie, can you keep a secret?"
13450Then she remarked:"Mr. Ito, is your aunt married?"
13450Then you do know something?"
13450There had been no chairs in the way before,--was it an hour ago or only a minute?
13450They spread their ideas and customs-- they get a foot- hold-- then-- all of a sudden, what is it?
13450Was I right in my method of dismissing your suitor, Miss Nancy?"
13450Was it an English cry for help?
13450Was it possible that time had slipped by so fast?
13450Was she not bound by a secret tie to this fascinating person because of their chance meeting in the garden in the rain?
13450Were they all going to be cut to pieces or was only the"Comet"to be sacrificed in revenge for the accident?
13450Were you able to find out?"
13450What am I to do with it?
13450What am I to do?
13450What could it mean?
13450What country had given her those strangely incongruous locks?
13450What is the matter?
13450When are you going to take us to the mountains?
13450Where is your daughter?"
13450Where is your raincoat?
13450Where was Nancy?
13450While this little colloquy was going on, Yoritomo was whispering into Nancy''s ear:"You think they are pretty?
13450Who could expect an assassin to wait and be caught?
13450Who knows?
13450Who wants to see it?"
13450Why had she been so angry?
13450Why had she ever written it at all?
13450Why had she not burned it in a charcoal brazier?
13450Why had she not torn it into smaller bits?
13450Why should Nancy Brown have unexpectedly grown up like this and become so independent and secretive?
13450Why should her father need a pistol?
13450Why should she write letters that way?
13450Why was she so frightened?
13450Why was she so panic- stricken?
13450Why-- why--?
13450Will gracious lady make eyes to look?"
13450Will you call my''riksha now, Mr. Campbell?
13450Will you come?"
13450Would Elinor Butler''s father and mother consent to her taking this long journey?
13450Would Mrs. Price be willing to part with Mary for many, many months while that young person journeyed to the other side of the world?
13450Would it not be a good precaution to go to the library and get her father''s pistol?
13450Would it, now, honor bright?"
13450Would she?"
13450You do n''t think she could be a bit daffy, do you?"
13450You wo n''t tell your Mr. Campbell that I trespassed on his garden, will you?
13450asked Billie proudly,"and is n''t Onoye clever to have carried out the scheme so perfectly?"
13450but had changed her mind, when she asked instead:"Is Nikko a town?"
