| 14910 | I have n''t lost the first place in my little girl''s heart yet? |
| 14910 | I must have a ride in that,said Walter emphatically,"and mamma, you will go with me, will you not?" |
| 14910 | I presume you will all be ready to start out early, as usual? |
| 14910 | I suppose she must have cost a good deal? |
| 14910 | I suppose this is salt water they are all in? |

| 14910 | Is it Jesus who says,''Surely I come quickly, grandma? |
| 14910 | Is it a very expensive entertainment? |
| 14910 | Is it quite safe? |

| 14910 | Is my little girl unhappy, about-- anything? 14910 Is n''t it wicked to kill folks, grandma?" |
| 14910 | Is n''t this a lovely day? 14910 Is that the State coat- of- arms above the pediment over the front doors, papa?" |
| 14910 | Is that the reason why they brought it here, papa? |
| 14910 | Is that what they are good for, papa? |
| 14910 | Is there a moat about it, Uncle Harold? |
| 14910 | Is there anything I can do or furnish to make you more so? |
| 14910 | It''s right nice- lookin'', is n''t it? |
| 14910 | Lest I should have too much pleasure in carrying it out? |
| 14910 | Let me hear it, son? |
| 14910 | May I hope you will show equal favor to the giver? |
| 14910 | May n''t I go? |
| 14910 | No, papa,she replied,"can you tell us?" |
| 14910 | Nor me either, mamma? |
| 14910 | Not a real ship, papa? |
| 14910 | Now where shall we go next? |
| 14910 | Oh, does n''t it sometimes seem as if you could hardly wait for the time when you will be there with all the dear ones gone before? 14910 Oh, papa, is that it over there where that arch is with all those pillars on each side of it?" |
| 14910 | Oh, papa, what is it? |
| 14910 | Oh, papa, what is that woman doing? |
| 14910 | Oh, papa, what is that? |
| 14910 | Oh, sir, can I not persuade you to revoke that decision and let me at least learn from her own lips whether or not she cares for me? |
| 14910 | Oh, what is it, Uncle Walter? |
| 14910 | Oh, what is that? |
| 14910 | Papa dear, what is the matter? 14910 Papa, did n''t you say she was n''t a real ship?" |
| 14910 | Papa, is it solid gold? |
| 14910 | Papa, may n''t I keep close at your side, going wherever you go? |
| 14910 | Papa,asked little Elsie,"how long ago did people live in those houses so high up among the rocks?" |
| 14910 | Papa,she asked,"can I go presently to the Court of Honor with the others-- and you? |
| 14910 | Papa,she said humbly,"have you quite forgiven my crossness to- night when you refused to let me go ashore? |
| 14910 | Pennsylvania''s in particular, my dear? |
| 14910 | Please ca n''t we take a ride now? |
| 14910 | Pleased, papa? 14910 Right about what?" |
| 14910 | Scuttled? 14910 Shall we dine first and then look at the exhibits?" |
| 14910 | Shall we go now to the Electrical Building? |
| 14910 | Shall we make any move in the matter to- night, my dear? |
| 14910 | Shall we visit the Turkish village to- day? |
| 14910 | So there are two, are there? |
| 14910 | So you are a ventriloquist, sir? |
| 14910 | Some what, son? |
| 14910 | Thank you, sir,she replied;"but are you sure I might not prove a hindrance and burden?" |
| 14910 | That means a great many men killed, grandma? |
| 14910 | That''s the name of this year is n''t it, papa? |
| 14910 | The tired little ones will be left in their bed of course? |
| 14910 | Then it will take about all of the next day to get to Mackinaw, wo n''t it, papa? |
| 14910 | Then you will stay on? |
| 14910 | There is a German village connected with it, is there not? |
| 14910 | They supplied the Indians also, did they not, my dear? |
| 14910 | They were good and brave men to do it; were n''t they, papa? |
| 14910 | To warn vessels to keep off shoals? |
| 14910 | Unhappy, father? 14910 Was it in Spain they made them, papa?" |
| 14910 | Was it, when you are the girl that always thinks of everybody else? |
| 14910 | We love each other, do n''t we, papa? |
| 14910 | We will go to church to- morrow, I suppose, papa? |
| 14910 | Well, Lu, did you get leave to go? |
| 14910 | Well, captain,said Grandma Elsie, looking up smilingly into his face as he drew near,"did you catch the rogues?" |
| 14910 | Were n''t the Americans glad when they heard about it, grandma? 14910 What are caravels, papa?" |
| 14910 | What building''s that? |
| 14910 | What do they eat, papa? |
| 14910 | What do they eat, papa? |
| 14910 | What do you say to the plan, Grandpa and Grandma Dinsmore, and mother? |

| 14910 | Where are they, papa? |
| 14910 | Where are we going to- day, papa? |

| 14910 | Where else did you go? |
| 14910 | Where have you been since we left you, Lu? |
| 14910 | Where is it? |

| 14910 | Who are you? 14910 Who cares to look at such a thing as that?" |
| 14910 | Who is that man? 14910 Who was she, papa? |
| 14910 | Why did Jesus say to the man''Son, thy sins be forgiven thee,''papa? |
| 14910 | Why so, daughter? |
| 14910 | Why, daughter, are you there? |
| 14910 | Why, how do you do, cousin? 14910 Why? |
| 14910 | Will we go over there, to the Court of Honor, to- morrow, papa? |
| 14910 | Will you take a boat ride with me, Lucilla? |
| 14910 | Without waiting for an invitation, eh? |
| 14910 | Yes, it is a pleasant way of gaining knowledge; pleasanter than learning lessons and reciting them to papa; is it not, daughter? |
| 14910 | Yes, it was Jesus our Saviour who said it; and do you know whom he meant by the Son of man? |
| 14910 | Yes; and do n''t you see the name there up over the door? |
| 14910 | You gave some, papa? 14910 You have hardly been in America ever since I saw you last?" |
| 14910 | You have no objection to me personally, I trust, sir? |
| 14910 | You mean the captain does not allow it? |
| 14910 | You think so, do you, sir? 14910 You want to kiss the Blarney Stone, do you?" |
| 14910 | You will be almost sorry when the time comes for returning home? |
| 14910 | You would be looking about for such a sweet young creature and trying to win her heart? |
| 14910 | Ah, Annis, how can you have the heart to disappoint him so?" |
| 14910 | And Jesus knew their thoughts, for he asked,''Why reason ye these things in your hearts?''" |
| 14910 | And has not the first suggestion come from her more than once?" |
| 14910 | And he said unto them, Where is your faith? |
| 14910 | And you, mother, would like it, would you not?" |
| 14910 | Are n''t you pleased with our purchases?" |
| 14910 | Are you feeling better now? |
| 14910 | But oh, papa, was n''t it lovely to see the Court of Honor light up to- night? |
| 14910 | But what are you looking so searchingly at me for, Gracie?" |
| 14910 | But what-- who----?" |
| 14910 | But why should I be suspected more than anyone else in this company of friends and relatives?" |
| 14910 | But wo n''t you take mamma and Elsie and all the rest, and me too?" |
| 14910 | But would n''t you like to go and see it all?" |
| 14910 | Ca n''t I, papa?" |
| 14910 | Ca n''t I?" |
| 14910 | Ca n''t we go, papa?" |
| 14910 | Can you not do the same?" |
| 14910 | Do you see? |
| 14910 | Do you think it was?" |
| 14910 | Do you want Grace and me to go to bed as soon as you and the others are gone?" |
| 14910 | Does my little son know who said these words?" |
| 14910 | Does n''t that mean that to believe on Jesus will take us to heaven at last-- when we die?" |
| 14910 | Goin''in, Elmiry?" |
| 14910 | Grandpa, do you know her size?" |
| 14910 | How did they show their faith, Lucilla?" |
| 14910 | How long do you?" |
| 14910 | How long will you stay?" |
| 14910 | I wonder what is going to be done here to celebrate it?" |
| 14910 | Is he quite tame? |
| 14910 | Is it a live thing? |
| 14910 | Is it that you fear to trust your happiness to my keeping?" |
| 14910 | Is she not magnificent?" |
| 14910 | Is there any danger at all?" |
| 14910 | Lilburn?" |
| 14910 | Lucilla, can you tell me what is the fruit of the Spirit?" |
| 14910 | May I ask what it is?" |
| 14910 | May I say mine now?" |
| 14910 | Might n''t they go off and shoot us?" |
| 14910 | Miss Annis, do you think I-- I could ever make myself a place in your heart? |
| 14910 | Now, do you remember what he did after the disciples and the people were gone?" |
| 14910 | Oh, have I done anything to vex or trouble you?" |
| 14910 | Oh, what is that?" |
| 14910 | One of England''s finest battleships, was she not?" |
| 14910 | Papa, are you never troubled with fears that you might be mistaken in thinking yourself a Christian? |
| 14910 | Papa, were they all killed?" |
| 14910 | Say, capting, are you mean enough to let us fellows go hungry when you have a vessel full o''good things for eatin''? |
| 14910 | Shall we compose a fourth party, and see what we can find to amuse and interest us?" |
| 14910 | Shall we take it?" |
| 14910 | She was awakened by a gentle tap on the door, then Violet''s voice asking:"Can I come in for one moment, Cousin Annis?" |
| 14910 | She went first to her mother''s state- room, and the door being opened in answer to her gentle rap,"Are you quite comfortable, mamma, dear?" |
| 14910 | So he will give it to me; wo n''t he?" |
| 14910 | That over Grandma Elsie asked,"Shall we not, now we are here, go into the Government Building and look at the military exhibit?" |
| 14910 | The Scribes sitting there understood it to be so, and said in their hearts,''Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? |
| 14910 | The captain mentioned that fact, then asked:"Do you know, Grace, how long that fort was in building?" |
| 14910 | The evening is the best time for a sight of its wonders, I presume?" |
| 14910 | The girl noticed it and grew more frightened, turning a trifle paler and asking:"Is there any danger?" |
| 14910 | Then, turning to the elder Mr. Lilburn:"Cousin Ronald,"he asked,"do you think you would know them if you were to see them?" |
| 14910 | There at the Master''s feet, seeing him and bearing his image-- like him; for we shall see him as he is?" |
| 14910 | They did not catch the reply, but he went on with his questions:"Will he bite? |
| 14910 | To say nothing of a pocket full o''tin?" |
| 14910 | Uncle Harold and Uncle Herbert, wo n''t you go and help papa fight those bad men? |
| 14910 | Violet, my dear, how does that programme suit you?" |
| 14910 | Walter did not seem to notice, however, but went on:"Are the upper floors open to visitors, sir? |
| 14910 | What have you to propose in regard to our movements for the day, captain?" |
| 14910 | What is its name?" |
| 14910 | What was the reason?" |
| 14910 | What''s that, grandma?" |
| 14910 | What''s the way to do it?" |
| 14910 | Who can forgive sins but God only?'' |
| 14910 | Wo n''t you be afraid of them?" |
| 14910 | Would n''t it be fun, Mamma Vi, to have a wedding here on the yacht?" |
| 14910 | Would n''t you, daughter?" |
| 14910 | Would you like to do so?" |
| 14910 | Would you like to take a ride on one?" |
| 14910 | You are not disappointed in the Fair so far?" |
| 14910 | am I going blind?" |
| 14910 | and are there refreshments served there, or in any other part of the building?" |
| 14910 | and did n''t they praise Captain Reid?" |
| 14910 | and how did you come aboard the vessel?" |
| 14910 | and wanting her father to comfort her?" |
| 14910 | and what could have been more beautiful than the view from the Ferris Wheel?" |
| 14910 | and what did they put her boat here for?" |
| 14910 | are they real?" |
| 14910 | cried little Elsie,"are all those great men there? |
| 14910 | did I faint, papa?" |
| 14910 | did you want me to do anything?" |
| 14910 | do n''t you know that I love_ you_ ten thousand times better than anybody else in the whole wide world? |
| 14910 | for I suppose you are going?" |
| 14910 | he asked presently,"or would you rather go at once to your bed and rest? |
| 14910 | here in your arms and perfectly certain of your dear love?" |
| 14910 | she exclaimed in half reproachful tones,"how can you be troubled with any such idea as that? |
| 14910 | that old log building?" |
| 14910 | was n''t it?" |
| 14910 | we are at the top of the wheel, and is not the view magnificent?" |
| 14910 | what was the difficulty?" |
| 14910 | where now, friends?" |
| 18091 | A rope? |
| 18091 | And how have you enjoyed the Fair? 18091 And how is your Ma?" |
| 18091 | And paper? |
| 18091 | Are you crazy, or what does ail you? 18091 Are you, Deacon Sypher? |
| 18091 | Be you a ghost? 18091 But,"sez I,"who is a- goin''to see your instep? |
| 18091 | But,sez Miss Yerden,"do n''t you know what the Bible sez--''Forget not the assemblin''of yourselves together''?" |
| 18091 | Ca n''t afford to? |
| 18091 | Do n''t you want to be the Witch of Endor? |
| 18091 | Do you spoze a ma would set and let the child she loved throw himself into the fire because he got mad? 18091 How are men made?" |
| 18091 | How could we git on it? |
| 18091 | How do you do it? |
| 18091 | How do you snell? |
| 18091 | How is Antoine? |
| 18091 | How many does the whale carry? 18091 How many inhabitants has it?" |
| 18091 | How old is the place? |
| 18091 | In a whale? |
| 18091 | Is that so? |
| 18091 | Nor you, nuther,sez I;"how could you ride a crow?" |
| 18091 | Now, if that picter should git torn to pieces by a cyclone, what would a ile paintin''be? 18091 Of Jonesville?" |
| 18091 | Save you from what, Samantha? 18091 Supreme pinted bogardus-- what in thunder is that? |
| 18091 | Terrapin a- layin''on Maryland-- I never knew that terrapin wuz a hen before, and why is it any better to lay on Maryland than anywhere else? 18091 The Rager,"sez I dreamily;"who''s that?" |
| 18091 | Then,sez I,"why did n''t you say so?" |
| 18091 | To counsel''em about what? |
| 18091 | Wall, then, when there''s ink and paper, what''s to hender Our writin''it? |
| 18091 | Wall, what is the difference? |
| 18091 | Wall, you do n''t want any bedevilled crabs, do you? |
| 18091 | Wall,sez I,"what will America and the World''s Fair think on''t, my makin''such a oversight?" |
| 18091 | Wall,sez he,"why do n''t you wear red woollen ones?" |
| 18091 | What do I want to foller''em for? 18091 What do you mean?" |
| 18091 | What do you want to do? |
| 18091 | What for? |
| 18091 | What for? |
| 18091 | What is it? |
| 18091 | What is that? |
| 18091 | What made you do it, Drusilla? |
| 18091 | What should you do if some one strong enough, but without a shadow of justice or reason, should order you out of it at once-- force you to go? |
| 18091 | What would you do about it? |
| 18091 | Where would he go Sundays while he wuz in Chicago if he did n''t go there? |
| 18091 | Who be you? |
| 18091 | Whose name? |
| 18091 | Why did n''t the Nation shet up the saloons? |
| 18091 | Why do n''t you try it, then? |
| 18091 | Why,sez he,"I told you, did n''t I? |
| 18091 | Why? |
| 18091 | Why? |
| 18091 | Will you be still, Josiah Allen? |
| 18091 | Yes,sez Arvilly--"why?" |
| 18091 | Yes,sez I, with that same noble, riz- up look on my eyebrow--"why?" |
| 18091 | Yes,sez I; and, sez I,"Arvilly, did you walk afoot all the way here?" |
| 18091 | You ask why? 18091 ( What duz Ward McAllister and his''postles know of such rapt moments?) 18091 70 thread? 18091 All wuz relapsted into silence, all wuz peace, till all to once my pardner dropped his paper, and sez he--Samantha, why not write a book on''t?" |
| 18091 | And I asked Josiah"what he spozed that wuz?" |
| 18091 | And I sez meanin''ly,"Now, do you want to go and be intimate with them law- makers, Josiah Allen?" |
| 18091 | And I sez, almost the first thing,"Where is your baby?" |
| 18091 | And I sez, and I almost fainted as I sez it--"Has another war broke loose, or is it a wild animal from a circus? |
| 18091 | And I sez,"Could n''t you let those things be till you come back?" |
| 18091 | And I sez,"I do n''t want to see no children beat; and,"sez I,"what did Tom do to deserve beatin''?" |
| 18091 | And I sez,"It ca n''t be that they hail anhialation as a welcome rest from married life, can it?" |
| 18091 | And I sez,"Then you had ruther go there all tired out, had you?" |
| 18091 | And I sez,"What do you do with squids, anyway, or gaffs, or snells?" |
| 18091 | And I sprung up in bed agin, and sez I--"Josiah Allen, where are you? |
| 18091 | And I whispered to Irena Flanders, and, sez I,"If a man is a duke, what would his wife be called?" |
| 18091 | And Josiah Allen acted awfully horrified at my idee, and asked me"if I wuz as crazy as a loon?" |
| 18091 | And Josiah sez to me,"Where be them''Vistas,''anyway? |
| 18091 | And Josiah sez,"Where is Hatye?" |
| 18091 | And Josiah sez,"Where is that?" |
| 18091 | And did n''t the bed feel good? |
| 18091 | And he sez,"What have I done? |
| 18091 | And how could we dispose of a ragin''rinosterhorse at a minute''s notice? |
| 18091 | And how is anybody a- goin''to enjoy religion when they are a- chokin''?" |
| 18091 | And how many acres big do you suppose this buildin''wuz? |
| 18091 | And how many countries will wheel into the procession and become part of the great one as the centuries go on? |
| 18091 | And if they fooled me, who am often called very wise, what would you think of their foolin''a fish, who hain''t got any bump of wisdom on their heads? |
| 18091 | And it wuz dretful curious, wuzn''t it? |
| 18091 | And onbeknown to me I carried myself in that proud and stately way that Josiah asked me anxiously--"If I had got a crick in my back?" |
| 18091 | And sez I,"Josiah, did you ever see anything like it?" |
| 18091 | And sez I,"What would Christopher Columbus say if he knew on''t?" |
| 18091 | And sez I,"Write a book on what, Josiah Allen?" |
| 18091 | And sez he,"Dum it all, why do they call it the works of man? |
| 18091 | And sez he,"Who is Hatye, anyway?" |
| 18091 | And sez he,"You allude to Senator Stanford?" |
| 18091 | And then I sez--"How is anybody a- goin''to live pattern lives, when they are a- starvin''to death? |
| 18091 | And then sister Arvilly Lanfear( she is always on the contrary side), sez she--"Why?" |
| 18091 | And what did I want with galluses? |
| 18091 | And when they come round by us the first time I heard him a- aposthrofizin''the bird--"Do n''t you want to set on some more eggs? |
| 18091 | And who knows what changes it will make in his future up there in the frozen north-- his summer spent here in Chicago? |
| 18091 | And wuzn''t Krit glad? |
| 18091 | And wuzn''t it a queer coincidence? |
| 18091 | And wuzn''t there enough to look at jest in the street? |
| 18091 | And,"sez I, still more impressively and eloquently,"what is pumpkins by the side of that?" |
| 18091 | But Mr. Freeman, lookin''decided and firm as anything you ever see, he sez to Isabelle--"Do you suppose I am ever goin''to lose sight of you agin? |
| 18091 | But anon I sez--"Do n''t great emotions rise up in your soul, Josiah Allen, when you think of Columbus and the World''s work? |
| 18091 | But anon, as I quaked and trembled under that sheet, the voice spoke agin--"Samantha, are you awake?" |
| 18091 | But as I said that I heard a voice a- sayin''--"Who is Mr. Carvugal, Samantha?" |
| 18091 | But his looks wuz fearful, and I sez, almost tremblin''--"What do you want the rope for? |
| 18091 | But if the outside struck a blow onto our admiration and astonishment, what-- what shall I say of the inside? |
| 18091 | But jest as Arvilly and I wuz a- withdrawin''ourselves from each other, I sez,"Arvilly, have you been to the Fair Sundays?" |
| 18091 | But where there is milds and milds of clear flowers, what can you do? |
| 18091 | But who-- who shall map out this vast realm that Benjamin F. discovered? |
| 18091 | But who-- who will tell what we see inside on''t? |
| 18091 | But, then, what good would it do? |
| 18091 | Can a man show anything at their hull Columbus World''s Fair-- anything that will equal these two blessed labors? |
| 18091 | Curious, hain''t it? |
| 18091 | Curious, hain''t it? |
| 18091 | Devilish crabs-- do you want some, Samantha?" |
| 18091 | Did Columbus do so? |
| 18091 | Did Columbus heed them fearful warnin''s and turn back? |
| 18091 | Did any hand ever lay on that soft, shinin''hair in caresses? |
| 18091 | Did she act as some of our fashionable American wimmen do? |
| 18091 | Do n''t you know what wind storms we have in Jonesville?" |
| 18091 | Do you spoze a mother do n''t like a child when she spanks him for temper, or blisters him for croup, or gives him worm- wood for worms? |
| 18091 | Does he want to hang himself? |
| 18091 | Dum it all, what do they want to put on such names as them onto trees that grow right in our dooryard?" |
| 18091 | For what did the Great Master name His beloved? |
| 18091 | For what wuz the Postles? |
| 18091 | Hain''t I sot on juries in the past, and hain''t I liable to set? |
| 18091 | Hain''t it glorious here?" |
| 18091 | Hain''t that so?" |
| 18091 | Have you been here long?" |
| 18091 | He looked pityin''ly at me, and, sez he,"Where is Jonesville?" |
| 18091 | He spoke up, and sez he:"What is this Sabbath, anyway?" |
| 18091 | He thought he wuz crazy, and he whispered to me,"Is it caused by drinkin''? |
| 18091 | He turned round and looked kinder surprised, but good- natered, and I see then that he wuz a real good- lookin''man, and sez he--"Who is Josiah?" |
| 18091 | He wuz afraid he''d gone too fur, and sez he,"Mebby you''d ruther be Venus, Samantha? |
| 18091 | Here Josiah hunched me agin--"You feel dretful cut up if you hear any one speak aginst these old creeters, but what do you think of that?" |
| 18091 | His own hopeful life cut short at the edge of the scaffold, and for the future-- what? |
| 18091 | How can a minister keep the hull of his congregation from lyin''?" |
| 18091 | How could we kill it, when the creeter did n''t belong to us? |
| 18091 | How dast you, one weak man, though highly versed in the ways of equinomical tightness-- how dast you to try and set up and be anybody amid that host?" |
| 18091 | How do you do? |
| 18091 | How is it with the mother and the child? |
| 18091 | How many men would he git to sail out with him on that voyage of Discovery? |
| 18091 | How much money would he git? |
| 18091 | How much stock would he sell in that enterprise? |
| 18091 | How will it look to''em to have our Goverment permit such Sunday desecration? |
| 18091 | I faced him with dignity and with some madness in my liniment, and sez I,"Why?" |
| 18091 | I groaned and sithed when he told me, and sez I,"What wo n''t you do next, Josiah Allen?" |
| 18091 | I guess this kinder madded him, and sez he,"Do n''t you want to pose, Samantha? |
| 18091 | I hain''t a- goin''_ in_ the water, am I?" |
| 18091 | I know what them actions of hern is; hain''t I suffered from the one she took''em from? |
| 18091 | I laid holt of his vest, and sez I,"What, do you mean, Josiah Allen, by them dark threats? |
| 18091 | I recognized the voice, and I sez,"Why, Irena Flanders, is it you? |
| 18091 | I sez ironically,"Some like our leech barrel, hain''t it, with a few cinders on top?" |
| 18091 | I sez to Josiah, as I see that look on his face--"Many waters may not quench it, Josiah Allen, nor floods drown it, can they?" |
| 18091 | I sez to Josiah,"Did you ever see anything like the idee of growin''plants by lamplight?" |
| 18091 | I sez to her,"Tirzah Ann, why do n''t you buy your stockin''s? |
| 18091 | I''ve hearn more talk about''em than a little-- do they keep''em in cases, or be they rolled up in rolls? |
| 18091 | If she wants to sweep her floor, does she have to wear out her own elbows? |
| 18091 | In relief? |
| 18091 | In what other city could the foreigners be welcomed by their own people as they can here?" |
| 18091 | Is there a mouse under the bed, or is it a spider, or what?" |
| 18091 | Is this a time for feathers? |
| 18091 | Josiah turned right round in his tracts, and sez he,"Where can I find that wheel?" |
| 18091 | Maybe you have a home you love?" |
| 18091 | Mebby you''d ruther appear in the nude?" |
| 18091 | Now, after it got the exhibition there, did it make''em? |
| 18091 | Now, did n''t it? |
| 18091 | Now, what would be the result if We should slight Columbus and turn Our backs onto America in this crisis of her history? |
| 18091 | Oh, ask my droopin''sperits where wuz she? |
| 18091 | Selinda and Bizer, is it you?"] |
| 18091 | Sez Arville--"Where would Cornelius Jr. go if he did n''t go to the Fair?" |
| 18091 | Sez I, advancin''onto her,"Arvilly Lanfear, did you really git here alive and well?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"Are you satisfied, Josiah Allen, with the Works of Man?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"Do you remember my eppisode with Sister Blanker, Josiah?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"Do you remember the old adage, a dog is known by the company he keeps? |
| 18091 | Sez I,"How is all your folks?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"How is little Alphonso? |
| 18091 | Sez I,"How long do you lay out to be gone?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"How would the mammon of Greed look carved in stun, or the beast of Intemperance?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"I spoze you are still a- sellin''the same old book, the''Wild, Wicked, and Warlike Deeds of Man''?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"The very man that sold that poor sinner the licker on that night?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"What are you a- layin''out to set off for Washington, D.C., for?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"What would your pasture say to your ondertakin''such a enterprise? |
| 18091 | Sez I,"Who is it that you are willin''to make such a extraordinary outlay for?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"With your rumatiz, how would you climb up on''t a dozen times a day?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"You hain''t enjoyin''sech poor health as you did sometimes in Jonesville, be you?" |
| 18091 | Sez I,"You wuz in mournin''a awful while, wuzn''t you?" |
| 18091 | Sez he, loud and clear,"Blue pints-- pints of what, I''d love to know? |
| 18091 | Sez he,"Do you ask why?" |
| 18091 | Sez he,"I wonder what Deacon Henzy will say when I tell him that I rode a bird while I wuz here?" |
| 18091 | Sez he,"Jest let some folks that I know try to git in, would n''t I jest hist up the drawbridge and drop''em outside?" |
| 18091 | Sez he,"Who knows what it would lead to if it wuz opened up?" |
| 18091 | Shall we set down on the shores of our Old World, and give up the hope and glory of the New? |
| 18091 | She held a bugle in her hand, a- soundin''out, I should judge from her looks--"How goes the world? |
| 18091 | She went through a little parlor into the back room, and wuzn''t that a sight that met her eyes? |
| 18091 | So he advanced with a polite air, and sez he,"Could either one of you two gentlemen tell me where Noah''s Ark is situated?" |
| 18091 | Strange ties, hain''t they? |
| 18091 | The country roads are shameful, and he knew it, and he knew that we knew it; so why not come right out open and show''em up?" |
| 18091 | Then Lophemia Pegrum spoke up, and sez she--"Do n''t you believe in keeping the Sabbath, Lihu?" |
| 18091 | There''s ink in the house, hain''t there?" |
| 18091 | They did n''t move or stir, and Josiah agin sez,"Do you know where Noah''s Ark is?" |
| 18091 | Wall, did she do as she agreed? |
| 18091 | What could we do to it in one day? |
| 18091 | What did I want with a cane? |
| 18091 | What do you spoze?" |
| 18091 | What do you think I had better be, Samantha?" |
| 18091 | What makes you think we could both git into it?" |
| 18091 | What must memory do for him as he sits by the low fire durin''the six months night? |
| 18091 | What news?" |
| 18091 | What subjects could be bigger than these, and more important to the World and Jonesville? |
| 18091 | What use is there a- tryin''to drop''em out of your own private collection of stuns? |
| 18091 | What will they think on''t? |
| 18091 | What wonder that the smothered fires do break out into sudden fiery tempests of destruction that appall the world? |
| 18091 | What wonder that they sharpen up their ancestral tomahawk, and lift it against their oppressors? |
| 18091 | What would Vanderbilt and Russell Sage say to it? |
| 18091 | What would be the opinion of Jonesville?" |
