717 | Madrecita Carmen,she asked,--"quien entonces hizo el mar?" |
717 | Plait- il? |
717 | ( What ails thee?) |
717 | ( who then made the sea?). |
717 | --"Aie, aie!--c''est tout, ca?--to maman te jamain pele li daut''chose?" |
717 | --"All correct, boys?" |
717 | --"Comment ye te pele to maman, piti?" |
717 | --"Esta muerta, Feliu?" |
717 | --"Et comment ye te pele to papa, chere?" |
717 | --"Italiano? |
717 | --"M''sieu- le- Docteur, maman d''mande si vous n''avez besoin d''que''que chose?" |
717 | --"Madrecita Carmen,"she asked,"is my mamma dead?" |
717 | --"Madrecita,"she asked again,--her young eyes growing vast with horror,--"is my own mamma now like That?" |
717 | --"Nothing I can bring you?" |
717 | --"Who knows?" |
717 | --"Zouzoune? |
717 | ... Carmen, did you know Adele,--Adele Florane? |
717 | ... Had the grave sent forth a Shadow to haunt him?--could the perfidious Sea have yielded up its dead? |
717 | ... Tell me, darling, your name;... tell me who you are?" |
717 | ... Was that why it had not overtaken and devoured her when she ran back in fear from the sudden reaching out of its waves? |
717 | ... What was it-- that story about the little Creole girl saved from Last Island,--that story which was never finished? |
717 | ... Who was it had asked her the same question, in another idiom ever so long ago? |
717 | Before long she could prattle to Feliu;--she would watch for his return of evenings, and announce his coming with"Aqui viene mi papacito?" |
717 | But from whence? |
717 | Carmen felt a great sinking at her heart: was her new- found darling to be taken so soon from her? |
717 | Could it possibly--? |
717 | Could she come? |
717 | Creator of Heaven and Earth? |
717 | Does any one here know anything about her?" |
717 | Et comment to maman te pele to papa?--dis ca a moin, chere?" |
717 | He grew to love her like his own;--was she not indeed his own, since he had won her from death? |
717 | He raised himself upon his elbow, rubbed his eyes, and asked her, with exasperating calmness,"Que tienes? |
717 | If that was his wife,--the little brown Carmen,--whence Chita''s sunny hair? |
717 | More dead? |
717 | Noiseless because heavy, clammy,--thick, warm, sickening-- blood? |
717 | Of what avail to lament the prospective devastation of cane- fields,--to discuss the possible ruin of crops? |
717 | Qui ca?" |
717 | Strange he had deemed it day!--why, it was black, starless... And it was growing queerly cold...... How should he ever find her now? |
717 | Suppose some of you who know French talk to her a bit... Laroussel, why do n''t you try?" |
717 | Then he asked, in a deep voice:--"Has traido al Doctor?" |
717 | Then he was gone... Whither? |
717 | Thin streams of water were spreading over the level planking,--curling about the feet of the dancers... What could it be? |
717 | Thus far....? |
717 | Viosca?--who ever knew a Viosca with such hair? |
717 | Was it because God was then asleep-- could not hear, did not see, until too late? |
717 | Was it not at her that it strove to rush, muttering, and showing its white teeth,... just because it knew that she was all by herself? |
717 | Was it only the wind- blown pollen of some innocuous plant? |
717 | Was not Ramirez wiser? |
717 | Well might the land quake for the weight of such a tide!--Why did Adele speak Spanish? |
717 | Were not Nature''s coincidences more wonderful than fiction? |
717 | What could it be? |
717 | What could it be? |
717 | What did she gain? |
717 | What had she lost of life by her swift translation from the dusty existence of cities to the open immensity of nature''s freedom? |
717 | Where was Laroussel now? |
717 | Who prayed for him? |
717 | Who was he to see soon?--"qui done, Laroussel?" |
717 | Who was she?--who was her Julien? |
717 | Who was this Viosca? |
717 | Why did it return, that night of all nights, to kiss her, to cling to her, to nestle in her arms? |
717 | Why had he refrained from returning it? |
717 | Why had not Laroussel killed him then? |
717 | Why should he live to remember, to suffer, to agonize? |
717 | Would it even be possible to reach the sufferer''s bedside in time? |
717 | Yet she?--might he not dare to ring for her even by day? |
717 | Zouzoune qui, chere?" |
717 | answered Sparicio..."Y el viejo?" |
717 | bad weather?--"Comment un mauvais temps?" |
717 | had been rescued from the sea and carried round all the world unscathed? |
717 | he answered, at last;--"who knows? |
717 | higher yet? |
717 | que tienes?" |
717 | she asked,--"some fresh milk?" |
717 | that he should be made to suffer thus?--was it for this he had been permitted to live? |
717 | what is that?" |
54134 | ''What then?'' |
54134 | All he says to you, ma''am-- he ast me how come I stay''long wid ole mis''all dis time, and not go off like do rest of de little nigs? 54134 All this is not telling me what mischief you were at in Washington?" |
54134 | Always, my sweet? 54134 Am I out for a stroll? |
54134 | Am I to disbelieve my eyes? |
54134 | An old acquaintance of yours, then? |
54134 | And Senator Winans has left her, they say, Brother Willie? |
54134 | And do you not? |
54134 | And have I not been talking? |
54134 | And have I offered you less? |
54134 | And she was inconsolable at the loss of the baby? |
54134 | And sure did I not recollect? |
54134 | And that silver tea- service from the Bernards-- is it not superb? 54134 And this is Mrs. Winans''baby?" |
54134 | And what happened then? |
54134 | And what has made you nervous to- night? |
54134 | And what is the news with you, John? |
54134 | And what is to become of her? |
54134 | And what sort of a lady was she, and what was her name? |
54134 | And why? 54134 And why?" |
54134 | And will you answer it truthfully? 54134 And you had the energy to drive out here this sweltering day?" |
54134 | And you will leave me again after this-- indefinitely-- or forever? |
54134 | And your husband, ma''am? 54134 Anything new?" |
54134 | Anything new? |
54134 | Are you busy? |
54134 | Are you worried about it? 54134 As we make our beds we lie"has passed into a truth, but is it likely that any other will make it better for us than we try to do for ourselves? |
54134 | At the risk of your own unhappiness? |
54134 | Brother Willie, am I always to be a child? |
54134 | Brownie, have you tried that new song I sent you yesterday? |
54134 | Brownie, willful, teasing little fairy that you are-- you can not, you will not deny that you love me-- can you, honestly, now? |
54134 | Brownie,_ why_? |
54134 | Bruce, what is all this I hear? 54134 But about the child-- what happened while the nurse was gone?" |
54134 | But her baggage, Annie? 54134 But why are you throwing my pansies away?" |
54134 | But you do not ask what it was that I heard? |
54134 | Can not you get Grace to come-- won''t you try? |
54134 | Can you think it of me? 54134 Captain Frank Fontenay, U. S. A.,"he read aloud, and Mrs. Conway said:"A military gentleman-- who is he, Bruce? |
54134 | Certainly-- don''t you remember? 54134 Clen, are you angry with me? |
54134 | Clendenon, is it you? |
54134 | Come back-- you are not going? 54134 Darling, what can you possibly be thinking of?" |
54134 | Darling, what is it that troubles you?--anything new? |
54134 | Darling, why do you ask? |
54134 | Dear, am I to take silence for consent? |
54134 | Did I say all that, Lulu? |
54134 | Did you see him, John? |
54134 | Did_ she_ wear white roses? |
54134 | Do n''t I? |
54134 | Do n''t you care for it? 54134 Do n''t you care to talk? |
54134 | Do they? |
54134 | Do you mean to insinuate that I was affianced to Mr. Conway during his absence, and threw him over for a wealthier rival, Miss Story? |
54134 | Do you not remember the night you were taken ill, when you were half delirious, and he came to see you----"_ Did_ he come to see me? |
54134 | Do you think I could do no good to those poor suffering victims who need gentle womanly tending so badly? 54134 Do you think it such a mad scheme?" |
54134 | Gone-- where? |
54134 | Grace here-- is it possible? |
54134 | Grace, love, will you go to Willard? 54134 Gracie, is it possible that you were entirely delirious, and that you recollect nothing of your husband''s visit and your refusal to see him?" |
54134 | Gracie, is it you? |
54134 | Gracie, may I ask you one question? |
54134 | Gracie, will you answer or not? |
54134 | Gracie, will_ you_ raise me a little? |
54134 | Guess again, Brownie? |
54134 | Had we better send for her? |
54134 | Hardly care to know-- now, really? 54134 Has all the far- famed Louisiana eloquence and fire, I presume?" |
54134 | Have I not taken breakfast? 54134 Have you come to exult over my misery with the stereotyped''I told you so?''" |
54134 | Have your callers been many to- day? |
54134 | He is simply jealous for he is jealous,and where Shakespeare could not find a reason for a thing, how can I? |
54134 | Her name? 54134 How can I, a woman, give you a better one?" |
54134 | How can any of us-- the doctor, even-- tell what will be the result of the crisis? 54134 How did he look?" |
54134 | I asked you is it to be or not to be? |
54134 | I do n''t know-- is it? |
54134 | I have not denied it-- have I? |
54134 | I know, I know; but can not you understand, Lu, that this is remorse that has built its habitation over the grave of love? 54134 I? |
54134 | Is Mrs. Conway at home, John? |
54134 | Is it not? 54134 Is it worth the repetition?" |
54134 | Is that final? |
54134 | Is this true? |
54134 | Is your mother quite well? |
54134 | It is rather a nice little jaunt over there on the ferry- boat over the Elizabeth River-- don''t you think so? |
54134 | Lulu, dear, unreasonable child that you are-- why do you think that I do not love you? 54134 Lulu, dearest, is there anything new under the sun?" |
54134 | Lulu, silly child, why should I ask you to be my wife then? 54134 Lulu, what do you do for Christ?" |
54134 | May I ask you one question? |
54134 | May I think that you love me? |
54134 | Meaning me? |
54134 | Meaning the mammoth bouquet that came this morning with the captain''s compliments? |
54134 | Miss Story, my husband-- he was unhurt, I trust? |
54134 | Moping, are you? |
54134 | Mother is well? 54134 Mrs. Conway is one of her friends, I believe?" |
54134 | Mrs. Conway is well, I hope? |
54134 | Mrs. Winans, are you mad? |
54134 | My dear, will you see your husband? 54134 My dearest, what can I say more than I have already told you? |
54134 | My eyesight not as strong as it once was? |
54134 | My husband-- did you say that? |
54134 | My love,he said, lifting the small, white hand, and toying with its jeweled fingers,"are you ill? |
54134 | My son, what does it mean? |
54134 | Norah,Mrs. Winans had said, a moment before,"it is the fifteenth day of November-- do you recollect? |
54134 | Not Gracie-- Lulu? |
54134 | Not at all; are you? 54134 Not in so many words, perhaps; but you refuse to be my wife-- if you loved me, how could you?" |
54134 | Not so, Gracie, dear little one, he has come to sympathize with you-- won''t you let him come? |
54134 | Nothing more-- was he not a lover? |
54134 | Nothing, brother? |
54134 | Nothing? |
54134 | Now, is not that an exquisite set of bronzes? |
54134 | Oh, Mr. Conway,she almost sobbed,"I have lost my way and can not get out of the capitol; will you set me right?" |
54134 | Oh, indeed? |
54134 | Paul, do you know that I am sleepy and tired, while you are keeping me up with such idle nonsense? 54134 Paul,"she ventured, suddenly,"even supposing that I had loved another before I ever met you, what difference can that make to you? |
54134 | Right-- and what was I doing there? 54134 Seemed insane, you think?" |
54134 | Seen whom? |
54134 | She had lost a child, you said? |
54134 | Since this is your decision,she answered, in calm tones, that belied her tortured heart,"would it not be as well to separate altogether? |
54134 | Sit down, wo n''t you? |
54134 | Smitten at sight-- eh, Clendenon? |
54134 | Still sitting up, Grace? |
54134 | Taking your assertion for granted,said Conway, coolly,"is that any reason why I should marry Miss Grey?" |
54134 | Tell me,she said, desperately,"if he is not coming home, what is it? |
54134 | That he-- what? |
54134 | The law would take my baby from me? |
54134 | The_ poor_ English lady; and why do you call her poor? |
54134 | Then you do not care for him, Grace? |
54134 | There seems to be no abatement of the fever? |
54134 | To France? |
54134 | To be shot down did you say, Miss Story? 54134 To drive-- where?" |
54134 | Violets in the spring You gave me with the dew- tears in their eyes, I said, in faint surprise: Love do not tearful omens round them cling? 54134 Was I right?" |
54134 | Was it? 54134 Was she in bad circumstances?" |
54134 | Was that all he said? |
54134 | Was that your only reason? |
54134 | We may be friends at least? |
54134 | Well, Brownie, what is it? |
54134 | Well, dear? |
54134 | Well, really, I wonder what has happened, and why she is here, and where she is staying? 54134 Well, you told him what?" |
54134 | Well? |
54134 | Well? |
54134 | Well? |
54134 | Well? |
54134 | What did it mean? |
54134 | What have you been doing all this time with yourself? |
54134 | What hopes can there be that your misfortune can possibly destroy? |
54134 | What is it, Paul? |
54134 | What is your name, my girl? |
54134 | What next? |
54134 | What should I do without my baby, my darling? 54134 What was Bruce Conway''s love worth, I wonder? |
54134 | What was he doing to- day? 54134 What was it I said?" |
54134 | Where did you see him? |
54134 | Where shall I turn? |
54134 | Who has not kept some trifling thing, More prized than jewels rare, A faded flower, a broken ring, A tress of golden hair? |
54134 | Who knows the Inscrutable design? 54134 Why Mrs. Winans, did n''t you know of the almost fatal termination of the duel? |
54134 | Why did she tempt his weak mind with her wealth and pride? 54134 Why do n''t you see him, brother, and talk with him, and try to make him look at things fairly? |
54134 | Why do n''t you talk to me? |
54134 | Why have you kept it from me? |
54134 | Why is it you wo n''t consent to have your mother send for her to come on while you are so sick? 54134 Why pursue a useless subject? |
54134 | Why should you? 54134 Why, brother, did you love her, too? |
54134 | Why, my baby, my baby, do you not know your own papa? |
54134 | Why? 54134 Why?" |
54134 | Will not I do as well as Grace? |
54134 | Will you go to see our flowers? |
54134 | Will you take this? 54134 Will you tell me the earthly name of the divinity who absorbs your flattering notice?" |
54134 | Willard, are you here? 54134 Wo n''t you go and see?" |
54134 | Yes, I do think so; had you a nice time? |
54134 | Yes, it is grand, but-- but what did you say about the child of Senator Winans? |
54134 | Yes, of course; that is the law of the land-- do you still desire to have a divorce? |
54134 | You are nervous,she ventures to say, watching the still, impassive face,"will you take some valerian, wine, or something?" |
54134 | You are not angry? |
54134 | You are not going to send me to Europe without one flower, and so rich in floral blessings? |
54134 | You do not suppose_ she_ has stolen the child? |
54134 | You gave him my message? 54134 You have not been falling in love, have you?" |
54134 | You have seen him sometimes in the whirl of gay society, Grace; did you ever notice in him any peculiar attachment for a woman? |
54134 | You have? 54134 You recognized each other?" |
54134 | You still insist on it, Paul? |
54134 | You will marry her? |
54134 | You will not be hard and unforgiving? 54134 You will not take much baggage, then, I suppose?" |
54134 | You will recollect, I suppose, having signified to Senator Winans a wish to revisit the home of your childhood? |
54134 | A faint sarcastic curve of her red lip betrayed her contempt before it breathed in her voice:"Is that all?" |
54134 | A flash of hope in the fever- bright violet eyes, a hopeful ring in the trembling voice:"The baby-- he has brought the baby?" |
54134 | A strange affair that of his child-- don''t you think so?" |
54134 | After a moment,"Have you seen Lulu?" |
54134 | After all, what is any man''s love worth, I wonder, that it should blight a woman''s life?" |
54134 | After you tell her good- by, you will come back to me-- will you?" |
54134 | And are we to separate at last for a woman''s sake?" |
54134 | And is it possible that you knew nothing at all of the affair?" |
54134 | And what if death should come? |
54134 | And, Lulu, I think-- that is-- I should like to see_ her_ and say good- by-- if you think she would see any one?" |
54134 | And,"his glance falling, hers following, on his empty sleeve,"what woman could I ask to give herself to half a man?" |
54134 | Are you happier, Margaret, Than you might have been with me? |
54134 | Are you quite_ certain_?" |
54134 | Are you weary of me?" |
54134 | Are your eyes strong enough, or shall I read it for you?" |
54134 | Attend to the ladies, I mean?" |
54134 | Be weeping o''er her darling''s grave?" |
54134 | Bending to look into his face, she asks, softly:"Willard, are you easy now?" |
54134 | Brownie, can not you guess why I have come here this evening?" |
54134 | Brownie, let us make of that Continental trip a wedding tour?" |
54134 | But are you not weary of looking at all these things? |
54134 | But where does the line of man''s"little brief authority"cross its boundaries? |
54134 | But why ask a question at all? |
54134 | But why hasten her? |
54134 | Can not you like me a little for his sake, and not worry yourself so much?" |
54134 | Can this be so? |
54134 | Can you bear joy as well?" |
54134 | Can you bear to let me go alone?" |
54134 | Can you ever forgive me?" |
54134 | Can you read faces?" |
54134 | Can you undertake to guess?" |
54134 | Captain Clendenon, is it quite_ comme il faut_ for a lady to ask you to take a drive? |
54134 | Captain Clendenon, will you turn the music for her?" |
54134 | Clen, how long has it been-- when was she,"--a great gulp--"married?" |
54134 | Conway fidgeted a little, but he answered nonchalantly enough:"Why do you ask? |
54134 | Conway?" |
54134 | Conway?" |
54134 | Dear madam, will you kindly designate what are your plans for to- day, and command your humble servant?" |
54134 | Dear, were you false or true? |
54134 | Did I not tell you no?" |
54134 | Did he think that I had no pride? |
54134 | Did minutes or hours go by? |
54134 | Did she talk with you much, and tell you the cause of her trouble?" |
54134 | Did the future prove so? |
54134 | Did you ever go to see her at all? |
54134 | Did you like her-- did she like you?" |
54134 | Do n''t you think so?" |
54134 | Do n''t you want to see her?" |
54134 | Do not all our dear"five hundred friends"say the same agreeable things when they congratulate us? |
54134 | Do not all wedding breakfasts look and taste very nearly alike? |
54134 | Do you know people say that you are a hero?" |
54134 | Do you know where I was born? |
54134 | Do you mean to say that you attach no value to fame-- fame that is won by good deeds?" |
54134 | Do you not remember how ill I was in Washington with brain fever, and how Lulu would not let them shave off my long curls? |
54134 | Do you think the sacrifice of my ease, and luxury, and comfort, would count as nothing with Christ? |
54134 | Does her heart deceive her ears? |
54134 | Even if I risked all to do the love- in- cottage romance, what have I left to offer Miss Grey along with my name and love?" |
54134 | Fontenay, is it you? |
54134 | Grace, can you not forgive me, can you not love me? |
54134 | Gracie and I have but just come in and missed you-- why, how pale you are-- are you sick?" |
54134 | Gracie, in that past time when you knew him-- before you ever knew me-- did you-- tell me truly, mind-- did you ever love him?" |
54134 | Has he also given up the search? |
54134 | Has his fickle love turned from her so soon to this"fair Cordelia?" |
54134 | Have n''t I been talking about it ever since I came in here? |
54134 | Have you fallen in love with her?" |
54134 | He is so strong and healthy; but has the Senator written for you to come on?" |
54134 | He saw and loved( what man could see her and not love her?) |
54134 | He tosses his cigar away, and turning, asks, politely:"Are you out for a stroll? |
54134 | He wants to bring her the joyful tidings in his arms, and who can blame him? |
54134 | His voice rises higher, with a throb of pain in it:"''If ye forgive not men their trespasses how shall my Father which is in heaven forgive you?'' |
54134 | How can she break with the sounds of human grief the brooding peace that shines on the pathway of this departing spirit? |
54134 | How could she tell him of that unsought, scorned, neglected love that had darkly shadowed the joy of her young girlhood? |
54134 | How did her baggage go down?" |
54134 | How else could I expect to be forgiven?" |
54134 | How is it endurable when love is lost to us?" |
54134 | How will you fill up the long months of her absence?" |
54134 | Hysterical, I presume-- is that it?" |
54134 | I asked you a simple question-- why do you try to evade it?" |
54134 | I do not care to question you of your past; why should you question me of mine? |
54134 | I know that I am unworthy of her-- pure, injured angel that she is-- but what can I do? |
54134 | I may go to Memphis, then, if it so please me?" |
54134 | I must seek diversion, oblivion!--what would you have me do?" |
54134 | I only ask you,_ did_ you ever love Bruce Conway?" |
54134 | I say, did I tell you, Brownie, or did you know that Winans is expected to reply to this speech?" |
54134 | I wonder if Mrs. Winans knows-- how she feels about it? |
54134 | I wonder why I have kept this foolish rhyme all these years?" |
54134 | Is Mrs. Winans not a Virginian, then?" |
54134 | Is he, too, coming home?" |
54134 | Is he-- is he--_dead_?" |
54134 | Is he-- my husband-- is he coming home-- to America?" |
54134 | Is he?" |
54134 | Is it not just as possible that a day may come when you shall bitterly regret that decision? |
54134 | Is it not to be supposed that the bridal reception of the charming Miss Clendenon and the elegant Bruce Conway is_ comme il faut_? |
54134 | Is it so, Captain Clendenon-- did you give your arm for his life?" |
54134 | Is memory busy at her heart? |
54134 | Is not the notice sufficiently flattering?" |
54134 | Is she so very beautiful? |
54134 | Is she so very beautiful?" |
54134 | Is that satisfactory for the present?" |
54134 | Is that what you mean, fair lady?" |
54134 | Is that what you mean? |
54134 | Is there any need to describe it all? |
54134 | Is there anything I can do for you on the other side of the Atlantic-- any commission for Parisian finery-- any message for your husband?" |
54134 | It is only like touching the spot where a pain has been now--''what deep wound ever healed without a scar?'' |
54134 | Lulu turned about in some surprise:"What do I do for Christ?" |
54134 | Lulu, for whose sake?" |
54134 | May I bring him in? |
54134 | May I walk with you?" |
54134 | Mother, why not have a nurse for me, and allow yourself and Mrs. Winans some rest?" |
54134 | Mrs. Conway applauds everything, but I believe it is the fashion to do so-- is it not? |
54134 | Mrs. Conway thinks it perfectly natural and right, so does Bruce, so do I-- and do not you think so, too, dear mother? |
54134 | Mrs. Winans, have you heard nothing of the matter lately?" |
54134 | My darling-- beloved, though so cruel to me-- how can I bear this and live? |
54134 | Nursing in the hospital?" |
54134 | Oh, Heaven, what has love ever brought me but agony?" |
54134 | Oh, fathers and mothers, maneuvering sisters, aunts, and relatives, when the young birds are mating and building, why can not you let them alone? |
54134 | Oh, mother, how could you go-- you, and brother Willie, and Grace-- all my dear ones-- when you knew what anguish it must cause me in my absence? |
54134 | Oh, mother, what if one of you should be taken away? |
54134 | Or Paul Winans''either, for that matter? |
54134 | Other men would not have cared-- why should he? |

54134 | Paul, can you believe these things if I tell you so on my very knees?" |
54134 | Paul, was I to blame for that?" |
54134 | RENUNCIATION"Am I mad that I should cherish that which bears but bitter fruit? |
54134 | Shall we not go and find Lulu?" |
54134 | She knew it would come, and now that it had, what could she say? |
54134 | She rather likes him-- will marry him, perhaps, but then----""But then?" |
54134 | She said, regretfully:"Is it not a wonder that I have never seen Mrs. Winans? |
54134 | Soothed by the softly spoken words, she asks, timidly:"Tell me if I may go under your care?" |
54134 | That is generous in him-- is it not, poor fellow?" |
54134 | That sounds like a novel, does n''t it, Lulu?" |
54134 | The purple twilight hid his face and expression, yet the captain persevered:"Yet you love her?" |
54134 | The question is, did they hear me, or were they all asleep? |
54134 | This ruby necklace, set in gold and pearls, is from Mrs. Conway----""And this?" |
54134 | Was he looking for his aunt? |
54134 | Was it not hard to be taken away from this bright world so young?" |
54134 | Was it true? |
54134 | Was it? |
54134 | Was she a creature of this lower earth? |
54134 | Was she going to faint? |
54134 | Well, Miss Annie, you preside over the ladies''rooms on this floor? |
54134 | Well, perhaps it is-- yet----""Yet what?" |
54134 | Well, what is the matter with that? |
54134 | What are your favorites? |
54134 | What can you be thinking of, Grace? |
54134 | What did he say?" |
54134 | What discordance will not a mother endure and call it music for the baby''s sake? |
54134 | What duel?" |
54134 | What had he done? |
54134 | What harm was there in that dreamy passion that had cast its glamour over a few months of her girlhood? |
54134 | What have_ you_ been doing secluded here in your quiet home, little saint?" |
54134 | What is it worth? |
54134 | What is it-- what has troubled you?" |
54134 | What is she like?" |
54134 | What is there in the fragrance of a flower that can pierce one deeper than a sword- thrust with the sweet- bitterness of memory? |
54134 | What kinship does it bear to the roses that blossomed in other days, in other hands that we have loved? |
54134 | What mystery is this you are trying to withhold from me? |
54134 | What possesses you to go wandering off to Europe in this mad fashion?" |
54134 | What then?" |
54134 | When do you propose to leave Washington?" |
54134 | When we feel that earth offers no consolation, where can we look but to heaven? |
54134 | Where was he? |
54134 | Who and what is he?" |
54134 | Who can tell? |
54134 | Who is to blame? |
54134 | Why can not I go to Washington, if I choose, for a few days anyhow? |
54134 | Why can not you give me the solace of your company and affection for my few remaining years?" |
54134 | Why did I go in defiance of his will? |
54134 | Why did I go to Washington? |
54134 | Why did n''t he marry her fust, and take her''long wid him to that furrin parts? |
54134 | Why did she continually thwart all his best impulses?" |
54134 | Why did they not tell me of it long ago? |
54134 | Why do n''t you ask_ her_ name; if she is pretty; if she is in the''set;''if she is rich; and so on,_ ad infinitum_?" |
54134 | Why do you ask?" |
54134 | Why had he come there in his proud, strong manhood and beauty, and Bruce Conway lying up stairs like_ that_? |
54134 | Why have I not torn this out long ago? |
54134 | Why how old are you-- sixteen?" |
54134 | Why is it? |
54134 | Why let me love you so? |
54134 | Why need he have gone back to the forbidden subject? |
54134 | Why need they have spoken? |
54134 | Why will you persist in making us both unhappy?" |
54134 | Why, what can you mean?" |
54134 | Will wedding cards and the''fair Cordelia''bear you company?" |
54134 | Will you be glad, dear?" |
54134 | Will you come up into my boudoir, where we can have a quiet chat to ourselves, before your many friends claim your attention?" |
54134 | Will you explain yourself? |
54134 | Will you give her Stella De Vere''s love, and tell her I will come and see her if she will let me?" |
54134 | Will you not go up and see her?--or shall I bring her down?" |
54134 | Will you pardon me if I confess to an interest in her that lends me to inquire frankly if you think you are doing her justice?" |
54134 | Will you see him?" |
54134 | Wo n''t you go up to your old room and lie down to rest?" |
54134 | Wo n''t you have it sent up here to you?" |
54134 | Would Grace have done it had he tried to win her? |
54134 | Would any woman have loved him as well with his one arm as with two? |
54134 | Would not your freedom be better insured by a complete divorce from one who has so deeply deceived you that it seems impossible to trust her again? |
54134 | You do love me-- you will be my wife?" |
54134 | You have heard of the fever that desolated Norfolk and Portsmouth in 1855? |
54134 | You remember his old feud with Bruce, dear mother? |
54134 | You said: But they were sun- kissed, child, what then? |
54134 | You were half delirious, and you fancied your husband had hidden away the child to worry you, and you said----""I said-- oh, what did I say, Lulu?" |
54134 | You will certainly stay to luncheon, will you not?" |
54134 | You wo n''t tell Mrs. Winans? |
54134 | You''members of Julie, de chambermaid?" |
54134 | _ If_ he came, as Lulu had asked her,_ would_ she be glad? |
54134 | _ What is a Novel Worth?_ For years Novels and Magazines have been sold at prices ranging from 25 to 50 Cents. |
54134 | _ Why_ did they believe me? |
54134 | _ Would_ he come? |
54134 | after"that new song I sent you yesterday?" |
54134 | ah, why?" |
54134 | ah, why?" |
54134 | and was she alone? |
54134 | breathed Lulu,"and who broke it to_ her_--the wretched mother?" |
54134 | but,"a gleam of triumph lightening under her black lashes,"you forget that I have my husband''s consent to visit Memphis? |
54134 | dearest, where?" |
54134 | he breathed, in tones of concentrated passion,"Grace Winans, are you as false as this?" |
54134 | is not nine miles a long distance to drive this warm day?" |
54134 | she cries, in a horrified tone,"what is that?" |
54134 | since when has my little Brownie learned to be sarcastic?" |
54134 | then I shall look for Norah, to- morrow-- you have Norah with you?" |
54134 | to? |
54134 | what can you mean?" |
54134 | what did Mrs. Conway say when you told her?" |
54134 | what have I done?" |
54134 | what have you done?" |
54134 | what matter? |
54134 | what_ did_ you want me to do?" |
54134 | why have we always"done that which we ought not to have done?" |
18508 | ''And paid your instructor?'' 18508 ''Indeed? |
18508 | ''Why do you hesitate?'' 18508 ''Why not stay,''said he,''as long as I and my family stay? |
18508 | A bachelor, say you? 18508 A height, however, to attain which you suppose only her consent, her love, to be necessary?" |
18508 | Afflict you? |
18508 | An old man? 18508 And is such your opinion of mankind? |
18508 | And is that the only part you wish to act towards this girl? |
18508 | And my uncle would have nothing to do with my affairs? |
18508 | And on the strength of this acquaintance you expect to be her almoner? 18508 And pray of what kind may they be?" |
18508 | And what has since become of him? |
18508 | And who is this model? |
18508 | And why? |
18508 | And will you comply with them? |
18508 | And, pr''ythee, what have they said? |
18508 | Are these crimes? |
18508 | Are you mad, young man? |
18508 | Are you not a little capricious in that respect, my good friend? 18508 Are you not my lost mamma come back again? |
18508 | Before I am convinced that she deserves it? 18508 But how shall she be persuaded to a change?" |
18508 | But tell me,I resumed, following and searching her averted eyes;"am I right? |
18508 | But what are the attributes of this_ desirable_ which Bess wants? |
18508 | But what should they hug together in one room for? |
18508 | But what,said I,"is my title to this money? |
18508 | But where, where is he now? 18508 But why not go myself?" |
18508 | But will he not suspect you of some hand in it? |
18508 | But will not the recovery of this money make a favourable change in her condition? |
18508 | Can you seriously wish that? |
18508 | Did I not rescue her from poverty, and prostitution, and infamy? 18508 Do you know in what situation he now is?" |
18508 | Do you know that woman? |
18508 | Do you not know,he replied,"what my disease is? |
18508 | Does she not possess them already? |
18508 | Does that follow? 18508 Eliza Hadwin:--do you wish-- could you bear-- to see her the wife of another?" |
18508 | Facts? 18508 For God''s sake!--what does all this mean? |
18508 | For what purpose? |
18508 | Forgive you what? 18508 Has she property? |
18508 | Has she virtue? 18508 Have I not explained my wishes? |
18508 | Have I not the same claims to be wise, and active, and courageous, as you? 18508 Have you good reasons for supposing him to have been illicitly connected with that girl?" |
18508 | Have you not heard? 18508 How am I to introduce myself? |
18508 | How are you this morning? |
18508 | How became you once more the companion of Welbeck? 18508 How can he? |
18508 | How can it be helped? |
18508 | How comes this? |
18508 | How comes this? |
18508 | How dare you thrust yourself upon my privacy? 18508 How do you mean to act?" |
18508 | How is this? |
18508 | How know I that her debasement is not already complete and irremediable? 18508 How long has he been married?" |
18508 | How long has he been married? |
18508 | How much is the debt? |
18508 | How? 18508 How?" |
18508 | How?--To Stedman''s?--In whose company? |
18508 | I have been wrong; but how too late? 18508 I will not jest, then, but will soberly inquire, what faults are they which make this lady''s choice of you so incredible? |
18508 | If you love her likeness, why not love herself? |
18508 | In what manner can I serve her? |
18508 | In what way,said Mervyn, sedately,"do they imagine me a partaker of his crime?" |
18508 | Is it rational to cherish the hope of thy restoration to innocence and peace? 18508 Is there no other whom you love?" |
18508 | It grieves you? 18508 It is; but why that sigh? |
18508 | It will be impossible,said he, in a tone of panic and vexation,"to procure another at this hour: what is to be done?" |
18508 | Know you,said I,"where Mr. Welbeck is? |
18508 | Mr. Somers, I suppose; hey, fool? 18508 Must he decide where I am to live?" |
18508 | No? 18508 Of me?" |
18508 | Of whom do you speak? |
18508 | Pr''ythee, what is it? |
18508 | Really,said I,"that circumstance escaped my attention, and I wonder that it did; but is it too late to repair the evil?" |
18508 | Such- and- such,I once said,"are my notions; now, what do_ you_ think?" |
18508 | Tell me,repeated I,"what can I do to serve you? |
18508 | Then you are determined against marriage with this girl? |
18508 | Then you have no scruple to accept the reward? |
18508 | Then you will try to see her? |
18508 | This Mervyn has imagined, has dared-- will you forgive him? |
18508 | Thy undertaking was strangely hazardous and rash; but who is the friend thou seekest? 18508 To arrest and to punishment?" |
18508 | To what? 18508 Well, sir,"said Williams,"you think that Arthur Mervyn has no remedy in this case but the law?" |
18508 | What ails the girl? 18508 What art so busy about, Arthur? |
18508 | What can this mean? |
18508 | What do you fear? |
18508 | What embarrassments? 18508 What good has been done, then, by restoring this money?" |
18508 | What have you done, my friend? 18508 What is his name?" |
18508 | What is his profession,--his way of life? |
18508 | What is his trade? |
18508 | What is the character of the young man? 18508 What is to pay?" |
18508 | What is your business with her? 18508 What made me so thoughtless of the time? |
18508 | What means my girl? 18508 What more can be added?" |
18508 | What more? 18508 What now remains? |
18508 | What proof,said I,"have you of the immoral conduct of the son? |
18508 | What reward? |
18508 | What then do you come hither for at such an hour? |
18508 | What then is the inference? 18508 What was it,"said I,"that brought me hither? |
18508 | What was this lad''s personal deportment during the life of his mother, and before his father''s second marriage? |
18508 | What would you have? |
18508 | What,said I,"is old Thetford''s claim upon Welbeck?" |
18508 | What,said he, mildly,"is your business with my wife? |
18508 | What,she resumed,"could inspire all this woe? |
18508 | Whence have you come? |
18508 | Whence,said I,"can these dissatisfactions and repinings arise?" |
18508 | Where''s Polly, you slut? 18508 Where,"said I,"will this adventure terminate? |
18508 | Where,said she, in her broken English,--"where is Signor Welbeck?" |
18508 | Whither should I fly? 18508 Who said you did, impertinence? |
18508 | Whom did I hear in the room above? 18508 Why are you so precipitate? |
18508 | Why do we linger here? 18508 Why have you changed it? |
18508 | Why led you me thus back to my sad remembrances? 18508 Why should I live? |
18508 | Why, surely, you place no confidence in dreams? |
18508 | Why,said I, as I hasted forward,"is my fortune so abundant in unforeseen occurrences? |
18508 | Why,said I, falteringly,"did he not seasonably withdraw from the city? |
18508 | Why,said I,"may I not make my demand of the first man I meet? |
18508 | Why? 18508 Will not argument change it? |
18508 | Will you compel me to call those who will punish this insolence as it deserves? |
18508 | Will you leave the house? |
18508 | Will you leave the house? |
18508 | Would marriage with her be a forfeiture of your happiness? |
18508 | Would that change be worthy of a cautious person? 18508 Would you have me act a clandestine part? |
18508 | Yet what alternative was offered me? 18508 You are a very prudential youth: then you are willing to wait ten years for a wife?" |
18508 | You say you love her: why then not make her your wife? |
18508 | You will persuade her to go with you, and to live at a home of your providing and on your bounty? |
18508 | Your friend? 18508 ''Are you ready?'' 18508 ( in a peremptory tone,)how came you here, sir? |
18508 | ( said I,) would you stab or pistol him? |
18508 | A few hundreds would take him from prison; but how should he be afterwards disposed of? |
18508 | A sad silence ensued the cheerfulness that had reigned before:--"Why thus dejected, my friend?" |
18508 | After a pause, a soft voice said,"Who is there?" |
18508 | After some pause, I said,"Can not you conjecture in what way this volume has disappeared?" |
18508 | After some pause, he said, in a very emphatic manner,"Why into the country? |
18508 | Am I known to be a seducer and assassin? |
18508 | Am I not endowed with this zeal? |
18508 | Am I not, by the appointment of her dying brother, her protector and guardian? |
18508 | And even then, what regard shall I, young, unmarried, independent, affluent, pay to my own reputation in harbouring a woman in these circumstances?" |
18508 | And if so, shall I repine at your silence? |
18508 | And what expedient was it in my power to propose? |
18508 | And why did you adopt this mode of inquiry? |
18508 | And will not she devote a few dollars to rescue a fellow- creature from indigence and infamy and vice? |
18508 | And will not such conduct incur more dangerous surmises and suspicions than would arise from acting openly and directly? |
18508 | And will she consent, think you?" |
18508 | And yet, if it be so, if my friend himself be sick, what will become of me? |
18508 | And yet-- is it possible that you are that person?" |
18508 | And, now that the conquest is effected, what shall I say? |
18508 | And, pray, for what faults do you think she would reject you?" |
18508 | And, pray, what benevolent scheme would you propose to her?" |
18508 | Anybody dead?" |
18508 | Are not these evidences of a compact between them? |
18508 | Are the heart and the intelligence within worthy of these features?" |
18508 | Are you a sister or daughter in this family, or merely a visitant? |
18508 | Are you here? |
18508 | Are you not her sister?" |
18508 | Are you not mistaken?" |
18508 | Are you not well?" |
18508 | Are you still willing to invest me with all the rights of an elder sister over this girl? |
18508 | Art thou sick? |
18508 | Art thou willing to remain here till the morrow? |
18508 | Arthur, are not men sometimes too_ wise_ to be happy? |
18508 | Arthur, is it you? |
18508 | As soon as I perceived it, I said,"Why are you thus grave?" |
18508 | At last the husband said,"What think you of the nabob? |
18508 | At length it occurred to me to ask, May not this evil be obviated, and the felicity of the Hadwins re- established? |
18508 | At length the same lady resumed,"What''s your business? |
18508 | At length, advancing to the bed, on the side of which I was now sitting, he addressed me:--"What is this? |
18508 | Because my Bess will not be qualified for wedlock in less time, does it follow that I must wait for her?" |
18508 | Besides, if the lady were found, would not prudence dictate the reservation of her fortune to be administered by me, for her benefit? |
18508 | Besides, on what pretence should I remain? |
18508 | But are these all your objections?" |
18508 | But first, shall I not, in some way, manifest my gratitude?" |
18508 | But how camest thou hither?" |
18508 | But how else should I explain my absence? |
18508 | But how should I explain my views and state my wishes when an interview was gained? |
18508 | But how should I secure this application? |
18508 | But how was I to interpose? |
18508 | But how was it to be distinguished from the property of others? |
18508 | But how was this statement compatible with former representations? |
18508 | But how was this to be done? |
18508 | But how?" |
18508 | But was he not associated with Colvill? |
18508 | But was this event to be regretted? |
18508 | But were there not some foreign lineaments in his countenance? |
18508 | But what of the murdered person? |
18508 | But what was the fate reserved for me? |
18508 | But where was the messenger to be found? |
18508 | But why has he forsaken me? |
18508 | But why inquire whence the difference? |
18508 | But why should I open afresh wounds which time has imperfectly closed? |
18508 | But why should I ruminate, with anguish and doubt, upon the past? |
18508 | But why this ominous misgiving just now? |
18508 | But will not my behaviour on this occasion be deemed illicit? |
18508 | But, first, what is all this writing about?" |
18508 | But, if I intended not to resign it to him, was it proper to disclose the truth and explain by whom the volume was purloined from the shelf? |
18508 | But, if he should remain, what conduct would his companion pursue? |
18508 | But, meanwhile, what was I to do? |
18508 | But, pray, what have you for dinner? |
18508 | But, should he be able to return, where should he find a retreat? |
18508 | By retaining it, shall I not be as culpable as Welbeck? |
18508 | By what means would he silence her inquiries? |
18508 | By what means, consistently with my own wants and the claims of others, should I secure to him an acceptable subsistence? |
18508 | By what miracle came it hither? |
18508 | By what miracle escaped the former from the river, into which I had imagined him forever sunk? |
18508 | By what motives were those men led hither? |
18508 | By what right could she be restrained from intercourse with others? |
18508 | By whom, then, was she buried? |
18508 | Can Achsa ask what more? |
18508 | Can I render her a greater service than to apprize her of the aspersions that have rested on it, and afford her the opportunity of vindication? |
18508 | Can any lot be more deplorable than hers? |
18508 | Can any other expedient be proper? |
18508 | Can any state be more perilous? |
18508 | Can he be seen, madam?" |
18508 | Can not my feeble efforts obviate some portion of this evil? |
18508 | Can not she be admitted to the same asylum to which I am now going?" |
18508 | Can not she be saved?" |
18508 | Can not you point out some practicable method?" |
18508 | Can you help me to improve my girl? |
18508 | Can you read this scrawl? |
18508 | Can you tell me what has become of it?" |
18508 | Considering my situation, would he regard my fears and my surmises as criminal? |
18508 | Could I mistake? |
18508 | Could I not remove this ignorance? |
18508 | Could I not render that life profitable to himself and to mankind? |
18508 | Could I rely upon the permanence of her equanimity and her docility to my instructions? |
18508 | Could it be he by whom I was betrayed? |
18508 | Could not the fate of Wallace be ascertained? |
18508 | Could this money be more usefully employed than in alleviating these evils? |
18508 | Could you suspect me of so strange a punctilio as that?" |
18508 | Did I act illegally in passing from one story and one room to another? |
18508 | Did I really deserve the imputations of rashness and insolence? |
18508 | Did he meditate to offer a bloody sacrifice? |
18508 | Did she suspect my presumption, and is she determined thus to punish me? |
18508 | Did you know that person? |
18508 | Did you learn needlework from seven years''squatting on a tailor''s board? |
18508 | Did you mark how he eyed us when we carried away his wife and daughter? |
18508 | Do n''t you hear me?" |
18508 | Do not these urge you to make haste to her relief? |
18508 | Do the benefits which I have received from the Hadwins demand a less retribution than this? |
18508 | Do you deem them virtuous, or know them to be profligate? |
18508 | Do you imagine that so obvious an expedient as that of procuring my legal appointment as her guardian was overlooked by me? |
18508 | Do you know any thing of----?" |
18508 | Do you know the character, profession, and views of your companions? |
18508 | Do you know what the duties of a sister are?" |
18508 | Do you reside in this house? |
18508 | Do you think I can credit your assertions that you keep this money for another, when I recollect that six weeks have passed since you carried it off? |
18508 | Do you think I ever shall be happy to that degree which I have imagined? |
18508 | Do you think that we would linger here, if the danger were imminent? |
18508 | Does he live alone? |
18508 | Does not this sweet ingenuousness bewitch you?" |
18508 | Does she know the value of affluence and a fair fame? |
18508 | Does she not deserve to know the extent of her errors and the ignominy of her trade? |
18508 | Does she not merit the compassion of the good and the rebukes of the wise? |
18508 | Especially when he talked about riches? |
18508 | Even in health my condition was helpless and forlorn; but what would become of me should this fatal malady be contracted? |
18508 | Fielding?" |
18508 | For what end could a visit like this be paid? |
18508 | For what reasons, I asked, was this procedure to be adopted? |
18508 | Friends?" |
18508 | From yesterday; all then was a joyous calm, and now all is-- but then I knew not my infamy, my guilt----""What words are these, and from you, Arthur? |
18508 | Had I acted culpably or not? |
18508 | Had I not boasted of my intrepidity in braving denials and commands when they endeavoured to obstruct my passage to this woman? |
18508 | Had I not deemed unjustly of her constancy and force of mind? |
18508 | Had I not the means in my hands of dispelling her fatal ignorance of Welbeck and of those with whom she resided? |
18508 | Had he not called her his daughter? |
18508 | Had it not become necessary wholly to lay aside these resolutions? |
18508 | Had not you?'' |
18508 | Had some new friend sprung up more able or more willing to benefit me than he had been? |
18508 | Had the cause of this forfeiture been truly or thoroughly explained? |
18508 | Has any thing of an unpleasant nature passed between you and Wortley?" |
18508 | Has he parents or brothers?" |
18508 | Hast thou shut every avenue to my return to honour? |
18508 | Have I been importunate? |
18508 | Have I not seen his bank- account? |
18508 | Have I not supplied all her wants with incessant solicitude? |
18508 | Have you any knowledge of the book? |
18508 | Have you arms to receive her? |
18508 | Have you family? |
18508 | Have you got it? |
18508 | Have you it with you?" |
18508 | Have you not confessed your love for her?" |
18508 | Have you sympathy, protection, and a home to bestow upon a forlorn, betrayed, and unhappy stranger? |
18508 | Having finished my narrative, I proceeded thus:--"Can you hesitate to employ that power which was given you for good ends, to rescue this sufferer? |
18508 | He addressed me in a tone of mildness:--"Young man,"said he,"what is thy condition? |
18508 | He bent forward, and said, in a hoarse and contemptuous tone,"Pray, is your name Mervyn?" |
18508 | He seemed on the point of opening his mouth to rebuke me; but, suddenly checking himself, he said, in a tone of mildness,"How is this? |
18508 | He shrunk back, and exclaimed, in a feeble voice,"Who are you? |
18508 | He spoke in a tone less vehement:--"And hast thou then betrayed me? |
18508 | He started, and cried,"Who is there?" |
18508 | He turned to me, and said, in a tone of severity,--"How now? |
18508 | Headlong and rash as you are, you will not share with this person your knowledge of me?" |
18508 | His first emotion was rapturous, but was immediately chastened by some degree of doubt:--"What has become of it? |
18508 | His tale could not be the fruit of invention; and yet, what are the bounds of fraud? |
18508 | Hold meetings with one of your sex, and give him money for a purpose which I must hide from the world? |
18508 | How came friendship and intercourse between Welbeck and him? |
18508 | How came she thus? |
18508 | How can you reflect upon the situation without irresistible pity? |
18508 | How could I endure to look upon the face of one whom I had loaded with such atrocious and intolerable injuries? |
18508 | How could you fail to love her? |
18508 | How could you help it? |
18508 | How did I purpose to dispose of myself? |
18508 | How did you lose this portrait? |
18508 | How had the remainder been appropriated? |
18508 | How might I place it, so that I should effect my intentions without relinquishing the possession during my life? |
18508 | How shall I blunt the edge of this calamity, and rescue thee from new evils?" |
18508 | How shall I otherwise insure the safe conveyance of these papers?" |
18508 | How shall their relationship be ascertained?" |
18508 | How shall they be disarmed and eluded, or answered? |
18508 | How should I conduct my search? |
18508 | How should he be cured of his indolent habits? |
18508 | How should he be screened from the contagion of vicious society? |
18508 | How should he be the father of an Italian? |
18508 | How should my intention be effected? |
18508 | How strangely( have you not observed it?) |
18508 | How unfortunate? |
18508 | How was I to act? |
18508 | How was I to act? |
18508 | How was I to act? |
18508 | How was I to effect my escape from this perilous asylum? |
18508 | How was I to profit by her favour? |
18508 | How was this course to be pointed out? |
18508 | How? |
18508 | How? |
18508 | I asked him if he knew that his master, or accomplice, or whatever was his relation to him, absconded in my debt? |
18508 | I confess my ignorance; but ought not that ignorance to be removed before she makes a part of my family?" |
18508 | I could not but admit the reasonableness of these remonstrances; but where should a chamber and bed be sought? |
18508 | I could scarcely obtain sufficient courage to speak, and gave a confused assent to the question,"Have you business with me, sir?" |
18508 | I could scarcely stifle my emotions sufficiently to ask,"Of whom, sir, do you speak? |
18508 | I glided softly to the bed, when the thought occurred, May not the sleeper be a female? |
18508 | I had previously concluded to defer going thither till the ensuing morning; but why should I allow myself a moment''s delay? |
18508 | I had reason to contemn my own acquisitions; but were not those of Eliza still more slender? |
18508 | I inquired in my turn,"Whence originated this question?" |
18508 | I leaned over the edge; fixed my eyes upon the water and wept-- plentifully; but why? |
18508 | I looked at her with seriousness, and steadfastly spoke:--"Are you the wife of Amos Watson?" |
18508 | I must not go: yet what will she think of my failure? |
18508 | I must, cost what it will, rein in this upward- pulling, forward- going-- what shall I call it? |
18508 | I needed at present a few cents; and what were a few cents to the tenant of a mansion like this? |
18508 | I pray, sir, what is it detains him?" |
18508 | I should not perish in the public way; but what was my ground for hoping to continue under this roof? |
18508 | I stammered out an interrogation:--"Why is this? |
18508 | I waited till her vehemence was somewhat subsided, and then said,"What think you of my schemes? |
18508 | If Colvill were not here, where had he made his abode? |
18508 | If I am ignorant and weak, do I not owe it to the same cause that has made you so? |
18508 | If he could regain this house, might I not procure him a physician and perform for him the part of nurse? |
18508 | If she be not, whither has she gone? |
18508 | If so, what is to be the fate of the money? |
18508 | If such were the fate of the master of the family, abounding with money and friends, what could be hoped for the moneyless and friendless Wallace? |
18508 | If their treatment has been just, why should I detract from their merit? |
18508 | If they receive their own, ought they not to be satisfied?" |
18508 | If your intentions had been honest, would you have suffered so long a time to elapse without doing this? |
18508 | In defiance of pestilence, are you actuated by some demon to haunt me, like the ghost of my offences, and cover me with shame? |
18508 | In what scene should I be exempt from servitude and drudgery? |
18508 | In what way are you capable of earning your bread?" |
18508 | Is any one within?" |
18508 | Is anybody sick?" |
18508 | Is he alive? |
18508 | Is he dead, or alive?" |
18508 | Is he in calamity?" |
18508 | Is he near? |
18508 | Is he well? |
18508 | Is her being Welbeck''s prostitute no proof of her guilt?" |
18508 | Is it entire? |
18508 | Is it him thee wants? |
18508 | Is it not possible to see her?" |
18508 | Is it so?" |
18508 | Is it worth while to be a dissembler and impostor? |
18508 | Is not guilt imputable to an action like this? |
18508 | Is she here? |
18508 | Is she rich?" |
18508 | Is there any deficiency?" |
18508 | Is there any thing arduous or mysterious in this undertaking? |
18508 | Is there no means of evading your pursuit? |
18508 | Is this a place fit to parley with you? |
18508 | It is to be presumed that they were bought or stolen, for how else should they have been gotten?" |
18508 | It is twilight still; is it not?" |
18508 | It was just to restore these bills to their true owner; but how could this be done without hazardous processes and tedious disclosures? |
18508 | It was no crime to be without a home; but how should I supply my present cravings and the cravings of to- morrow? |
18508 | It was plain that she conceived herself deeply injured by my conduct; and was it absolutely certain that her anger was without reason? |
18508 | It was requisite to cross it in order to reach that part of the country whither I was desirous of going; but how should I effect my passage? |
18508 | Kindred? |
18508 | Know you not that to assist or connive at the escape of this man was wrong? |
18508 | Leave the gate without a blessing on your counsellor?'' |
18508 | Let it be as I wish, will you? |
18508 | Look there,''( offering the stocking to my inspection:)''is it not well done?'' |
18508 | May I not accompany you in your journeys and studies, as one friend accompanies another? |
18508 | May I not see you, and talk with you, without being your wife? |
18508 | May I not share your knowledge, relieve your cares, and enjoy your confidence, as a sister might do? |
18508 | May I not, in this respect, conform to their example, and enjoy a similar exemption? |
18508 | May I venture to request of you, sir, the loan of sixpence? |
18508 | May_ this_ be my heart''s last beat, if I can tell why? |
18508 | Meanwhile, how was I to proceed? |
18508 | Might I not gain the knowledge of beings whose virtue was the gift of experience and the growth of knowledge? |
18508 | Might I not inquire, at one of these, respecting the condition of Thetford''s family? |
18508 | Might I not state her situation in a letter to this lady, and urge irresistible pleas for the extension of her kindness to this object? |
18508 | Might I not take some measures for obtaining possession, or at least for the security, of these articles? |
18508 | Might not a servant, left to take care of the house, a measure usually adopted by the opulent at this time, be seized by the reigning malady? |
18508 | Might not contraband articles have been admitted through the management or under the connivance of the brothers? |
18508 | Might not these be illustrious fugitives from Provence or the Milanese? |
18508 | Might she not easily be accommodated as a boarder in the city, or some village, or in a remote quarter of the country? |
18508 | Miss Hetty or Miss Sally? |
18508 | Must I dip my hands, a second time, in blood; and dig for you a grave by the side of Watson?" |
18508 | Must she then perish? |
18508 | My anxiety to know the truth gave pathos and energy to my tones while I spoke:--"Who, where, what are you? |
18508 | My curiosity impelled me to call,--"Is there any one within? |
18508 | My knowledge will be useless to the world; for by what motives can I be influenced to publish the truth? |
18508 | My principles were true; my motives were pure: why should I scruple to avow my principles and vindicate my actions? |
18508 | Next to_ Signora Lodi_, whose right can be put in competition with mine? |
18508 | No conclusion could be more plausible than that which Williams had drawn; but how should it be rendered certain? |
18508 | Not tell where? |
18508 | Now could I repeat every word of every conversation that has since taken place between us; but why should I do that on paper? |
18508 | Of his mistreatment of his mother, and his elopement with his father''s horse and money?" |
18508 | On such a question you and I might, perhaps, easily decide in favour of my brother; but would there not be some danger of deciding partially? |
18508 | On what terms will you live with me?" |
18508 | Once more I spoke:--"Who is within? |
18508 | Perhaps, indeed, thou hast kindred or friends who will take care of thee?" |
18508 | Possibly the act of locking had been unnoticed; but was it not likewise possible that this person had been mistaken? |
18508 | Pray, did you never knit a stocking?'' |
18508 | Presently the same voice was again heard:--"What is it you want? |
18508 | Recovering, at length, she said, with a sigh,"What if my father had made no will?" |
18508 | Riches, therefore, were his; but in what did his opulence consist, and whence did it arise? |
18508 | Said she not that he was in prison and was sick? |
18508 | Say you that the child is dead?" |
18508 | Shall I call upon him?" |
18508 | Shall I describe my thoughts? |
18508 | Shall I do this? |
18508 | Shall I hie thither to- day, this very hour-- now? |
18508 | Shall I not visit and endeavour to console thee in thy distress? |
18508 | Shall not something be done to rescue her from infamy and guilt?" |
18508 | She burnt the will, did she, because I was named in it,--and sent you to tell me so? |
18508 | She could not tell; she believed-- she thought-- which did I want? |
18508 | She looked at me, at my entrance, with great eagerness, and said, in a sharp tone,"Pray, friend, what is it you want with me? |
18508 | She put her hand on my arm, and said, in a fluttering and hurried accent,"Is my brother sick?" |
18508 | She spoke first, and in a startled and anxious voice:--"Who is that?" |
18508 | She then inquired,"When and where was it that he died? |
18508 | She thought proper, however, to assume the air of one offended, and, looking sternly,--"How now, fellow,"said she,"what is this? |
18508 | She who has not been_ only_ a wife----"But why am I indulging this pen- prattle? |
18508 | Should I be justified in driving him, by my obstinate refusal, to this fatal consummation of his crimes? |
18508 | Should I immure myself in this closet? |
18508 | Should I leave her utterly forlorn and friendless? |
18508 | Should I leave these persons in uncertainty respecting the fate of a husband and a brother? |
18508 | Should I not be arrested as a thief, and conveyed to prison? |
18508 | Should I not claim the assistance of the first passenger that appeared? |
18508 | Should I not return softly to the outer door, and summon the servant by knocking? |
18508 | Should I not withdraw the curtain, awake the person, and encounter at once all the consequences of my situation? |
18508 | Should my conductor have disappeared, by design or by accident, and some one of the family should find me here, what would be the consequence? |
18508 | Should she be willing to leave this house, whither is it in my power to conduct her? |
18508 | Since the door was locked, and there was no other avenue, what other statement but the true one would account for my being found there? |
18508 | Still, though it were a female, would not less injury be done by gently interrupting her slumber? |
18508 | Such things often happen( do n''t they, Arthur?) |
18508 | Suppose I had met the person on his first entrance into his chamber? |
18508 | Suppose I should enter Mrs. Villars''s house, desire to be introduced to the lady, accost her with affectionate simplicity, and tell her the truth? |
18508 | Talked she not of Welbeck? |
18508 | Terrified by phantoms and stained with blood, shall I not exhibit the tokens of a maniac as well as an assassin? |
18508 | That I received from the hand of his assassin the letter which I afterwards transmitted to her? |
18508 | That I was a sort of witness to the murder of her husband? |
18508 | The question now occurred, with painful repetition, who and what was Welbeck? |
18508 | The question which others might ask, I have asked myself:--Was I not in love? |
18508 | Think you I shall ever meet with an exact copy of_ yourself_?" |
18508 | This event was precluded by loud knocks at the street door, and calls by some one on the pavement without, of--"Who is within? |
18508 | This motion, which was made by the husband, awaked his companion, who exclaimed,"What is the matter?" |
18508 | This was instantly performed; but what was next to be done? |
18508 | Thus did she tender me herself; and was not the gift to be received with eagerness and gratitude? |
18508 | To be the medium of her charity?" |
18508 | To have meditated all crimes, and to have perpetrated the worst? |
18508 | To her father''s property? |
18508 | To my question, Was Mrs. Maurice to be seen? |
18508 | To restore it to them is the obvious proceeding-- but how? |
18508 | To whom could I apply for protection or employment? |
18508 | To whom did that bundle belong? |
18508 | To whom ought these disclosures to be made? |
18508 | Tom is my brother, but who can be supposed to answer for a brother''s integrity? |
18508 | Villars?" |
18508 | Wallace is friendless and succourless; but can not I supply to him the place of protector and nurse? |
18508 | Was I not authorized, by my previous though slender intercourse, to seek her presence? |
18508 | Was I not in love? |
18508 | Was I sure to escape from the consequences of this deed? |
18508 | Was Mr. Capper expected to return hither in the morning? |
18508 | Was Mrs. Villars at home? |
18508 | Was he not one in whose place I would willingly have died? |
18508 | Was his imposture a jestful or a wicked one? |
18508 | Was his own death or was mine to attest the magnitude of his despair or the impetuosity of his vengeance? |
18508 | Was it a casual suggestion, or was there an actual resemblance between the strokes of the pencil which executed this portrait and that of Clavering? |
18508 | Was it he who died in that bed, and whose corpse has just been removed?" |
18508 | Was it my companion, or a stranger? |
18508 | Was it not possible for me to alleviate their pangs? |
18508 | Was it not possible that part of Lodi''s property might be enclosed within the leaves of this volume? |
18508 | Was it not sufficient to write him briefly these particulars, and leave him to profit by the knowledge? |
18508 | Was it possible for me to be mistaken? |
18508 | Was it right to act in this clandestine and mysterious manner? |
18508 | Was it the abruptness of this vision that thus confounded me? |
18508 | Was it yours?" |
18508 | Was my existence embellished with enjoyments that would justify my holding it, encumbered with hardships and immersed in obscurity? |
18508 | Was not some treachery designed? |
18508 | Was not the end disproportioned to the means? |
18508 | Was she connected in any way, by friendship or by consanguinity, with that unfortunate youth? |
18508 | Was she not the substitute of my lost mamma? |
18508 | Was she offended at my negligence? |
18508 | Was she sick and disabled from going, or had she changed her mind? |
18508 | Was the truth so utterly wild as not to have found credit? |
18508 | Was there any tribunal that would not acquit him on merely hearing his defence? |
18508 | Was there arrogance in believing my life a price too great to be given for his? |
18508 | Was this a confirmation of my first conjecture? |
18508 | Was this an act of such transcendent disinterestedness as to be incredible? |
18508 | Was this the woman with whom my reason enjoined me to blend my fate, without the power of dissolution? |
18508 | Were any of her daughters within? |
18508 | Were they not susceptible of two constructions? |
18508 | What am I to tell her? |
18508 | What brings you here?" |
18508 | What business have you here?" |
18508 | What but fiery indignation and unappeasable vengeance could lead him into my presence? |
18508 | What can I do to make you happier? |
18508 | What can I tell her of the Villars which she does not already know, or of which the knowledge will be useful? |
18508 | What carried them there?" |
18508 | What condition was ever parallel to mine? |
18508 | What conduct was incumbent upon me who possessed this knowledge? |
18508 | What could I fear from the arts of such a one? |
18508 | What did I design? |
18508 | What did I fear? |
18508 | What did I hope? |
18508 | What did I think ought to be done? |
18508 | What effects will my appearance produce on the spectator? |
18508 | What else has he been?" |
18508 | What end could be served by this behaviour? |
18508 | What excuse could I make for begging a breakfast with an inn at hand and silver in my pocket? |
18508 | What expedient could I honestly adopt to justify my absence, and what employments could I substitute for those precious hours hitherto devoted to her? |
18508 | What gentleman can have any thing to do with Polly?" |
18508 | What had I found? |
18508 | What has become of him? |
18508 | What has become of him?" |
18508 | What has happened? |
18508 | What has happened?" |
18508 | What have I to do with that dauntless yet guiltless front? |
18508 | What have you done?" |
18508 | What have you to say to me? |
18508 | What hindered me from pursuing the footsteps of Hadwin with all the expedition which my uneasiness, of brain and stomach, would allow? |
18508 | What impediments were there between me and liberty which I could not remove, and remove with so much caution as to escape notice? |
18508 | What inquiries shall be made of me? |
18508 | What is here?" |
18508 | What is his family?" |
18508 | What is it that brings you here at this hour? |
18508 | What is that? |
18508 | What is the difference, and whence comes it? |
18508 | What is the fate of Mr. Hadwin and of Wallace?" |
18508 | What is the league between you? |
18508 | What is the matter? |
18508 | What is your objection?" |
18508 | What mean you by a hint of this kind?" |
18508 | What more remains? |
18508 | What motive could incite me to bury myself in rustic obscurity? |
18508 | What motive, I asked, could induce a human being to inflict wanton injury? |
18508 | What now was the destiny that awaited the lost and friendless Mademoiselle Lodi? |
18508 | What perplexities, misunderstandings, and suspenses might not grow out of this uncertainty? |
18508 | What power does that give him?" |
18508 | What proof have I of that? |
18508 | What proposal, conducive to her comfort and her safety, could I make to her? |
18508 | What provision could I make against the evils that threatened her? |
18508 | What qualities were requisite in the governor of such an institution? |
18508 | What remained but to encounter or endure its consequences with unshrinking firmness? |
18508 | What service can I do for you? |
18508 | What shall I compare it to? |
18508 | What shall I say to her? |
18508 | What shall I say? |
18508 | What should I infer from this incident? |
18508 | What suspicions will she harbour? |
18508 | What then must I have felt, scorched and dazzled by the sun, sustained by hard boards, and borne for miles over a rugged pavement? |
18508 | What then? |
18508 | What then? |
18508 | What think you?" |
18508 | What tidings, what fearful tidings, do you bring?" |
18508 | What was I to think? |
18508 | What was his relation to this foreign lady? |
18508 | What was it that saved me from a like fate? |
18508 | What was next to be done? |
18508 | What was now to be done? |
18508 | What was the fate reserved for me? |
18508 | What was the service for which I was to be employed? |
18508 | What was there irksome or offensive in my present mode of life? |
18508 | What were the limits by which it was confined, and what its degree of permanence? |
18508 | What would you do?" |
18508 | What''s thee business? |
18508 | What, I asked, was the merchant''s name? |
18508 | What, he asked, had occurred to suggest this new plan? |
18508 | What-- pray tell me, what can I do?" |
18508 | When died she, and how, and where was she buried? |
18508 | When have you seen him?" |
18508 | When her situation and wants are ascertained, will you supply her wants? |
18508 | When shall I expect to meet you at home?" |
18508 | Whence come you?" |
18508 | Where do they abide?" |
18508 | Where does this letter you promised me stay all this while? |
18508 | Where is he? |
18508 | Where should I look for this man? |
18508 | Where was he born and educated? |
18508 | Where was she concealed? |
18508 | Where, I asked, had Wallace and his companion parted? |
18508 | Where? |
18508 | Who can avoid asking, Where have these papers been deposited all this while, and how came this person in possession of them?" |
18508 | Who can love you and serve you as well as I? |
18508 | Who is this girl? |
18508 | Who is this woman, and how can I serve her?" |
18508 | Who then, saucebox? |
18508 | Who was the nymph who had hovered for a moment in my sight? |
18508 | Who was there by whom such powerful claims to succour and protection could be urged as by this desolate girl? |
18508 | Who will open his house to the fugitive? |
18508 | Who wilt thou find to undertake the office? |
18508 | Who''s thee want?" |
18508 | Who, I asked, was the gentleman? |
18508 | Who, thought I, is this nabob who counts his dollars by half- millions, and on whom it seems as if some fraud was intended to be practised? |
18508 | Why am I called to this place? |
18508 | Why am I not alone? |
18508 | Why are you so much afraid to subject his innocence to this test? |
18508 | Why be anxious to smooth the way? |
18508 | Why come you hither?" |
18508 | Why did he continue in the study when Welbeck had departed? |
18508 | Why did you not inform me by letter of your arrival at Malverton, and of what occurred during your absence? |
18508 | Why do n''t you answer? |
18508 | Why do n''t you speak? |
18508 | Why do you ask? |
18508 | Why does he linger behind you? |
18508 | Why does he remain?" |
18508 | Why does she suspect me of artifice? |
18508 | Why does_ her_ name, particularly, make you thoughtful, disturbed, dejected? |
18508 | Why fluctuate, why linger, when so much good may be done, and no evil can possibly be incurred? |
18508 | Why had I suffered him to depart, and whither had he gone? |
18508 | Why have you not sought the owner and restored it to her? |
18508 | Why might not another be induced like me to hide himself in this desolate retreat? |
18508 | Why not go thither now? |
18508 | Why not hasten to the city, search out his abode, and ascertain whether he be living or dead? |
18508 | Why not seek her there, and rid myself at once of this agonizing suspense? |
18508 | Why not? |
18508 | Why shall I not anticipate their consent, and present myself to their embraces and their welcomes in her company?" |
18508 | Why should I hesitate a moment to annihilate so powerful a cause of error and guilt? |
18508 | Why should I not lay my soul open before my new friend? |
18508 | Why should I subject his frailty to this temptation? |
18508 | Why should I think ill of you for despising me, when I despise myself?" |
18508 | Why should I wait for her return? |
18508 | Why should I_ not_ be with you? |
18508 | Why should he be supposed to be insensible to my claims upon his kindness? |
18508 | Why should she complain? |
18508 | Why should we cross the river? |
18508 | Why should you risk your safety for the sake of one whom your kindness can not benefit, and who has nothing to give in return?" |
18508 | Why then should I scruple to lay down my life in the cause of virtue and humanity? |
18508 | Why this catching of the breath? |
18508 | Why this sobbing? |
18508 | Why will he not return?" |
18508 | Why will you deprive yourself of such a comforter and such an aid as I would be to you? |
18508 | Why, I asked, did she weep? |
18508 | Will I not appear to lose as well as himself? |
18508 | Will he return to me?" |
18508 | Will it not behoove me to cultivate all my virtues and eradicate all my defects? |
18508 | Will not this conjecture sufficiently account for it? |
18508 | Will she be a sister, a protectress, to Clemenza? |
18508 | Will you be, yourself, an example of beneficence? |
18508 | Will you exhort her to a deed of charity? |
18508 | Will you go with me to Welbeck?" |
18508 | Will you go?" |
18508 | Will you let me?" |
18508 | Will you let me?" |
18508 | Will you not disclose it to us? |
18508 | Will you pardon this intrusion, and condescend to grant me your attention?" |
18508 | Will you permit me to go on?" |
18508 | Will you rescue her from evils that may attend her continuance here?" |
18508 | Will you wonder that the design of entering this recess was insensibly formed? |
18508 | Will you, for money or for charity, allow him a place in your chaise, and set him down where I shall direct?" |
18508 | Will you?'' |
18508 | William Hadwin they knew to have been some time dead; but where were the girls, his daughters? |
18508 | With that foolishly- confiding and obsequious, yet erect and unconquerable, spirit? |
18508 | With what heart could I listen to his invectives? |
18508 | With what pretences, or appearances, or promises, she was won to compliance?" |
18508 | Without desiring me to be seated, or relaxing aught in her asperity of looks and tones,--"Pray, friend, how did you_ come by_ these papers?" |
18508 | Would I not have clasped that beloved shade? |
18508 | Would a stranger refuse to lend the pittance that I wanted? |
18508 | Would it benefit her reputation? |
18508 | Would it not molest and disquiet you to observe in her a passion for another?" |
18508 | Would it prove her love of independence?" |
18508 | Would not some benefit redound to her from beneficent and seasonable interposition? |
18508 | Would not this sum enable me to gather round me all the instruments of pleasure? |
18508 | Would not time unfold qualities in her which I did not at present suspect, and which would evince an incurable difference in our minds? |
18508 | Would she drop the subject at the point which it had now attained? |
18508 | Would they be found, I asked, in the upper room? |
18508 | Would this have been the case if the door were unlocked? |
18508 | Would you go to Baltimore?" |
18508 | Yet is not that a hasty decision? |
18508 | Yet why should I disturb them by inquiries so impertinent at this unseasonable hour? |
18508 | You are poor: are these impediments?" |
18508 | Your approbation is of some moment: do you approve of them or not?" |
18508 | and did I not pant after the irrevocable bounds, the boundless privileges, of wedlock? |
18508 | and ought they not to be precluded at any hazard to my own safety or good name? |
18508 | and what is your business?" |
18508 | and what, but a compact in iniquity, could bind together such men? |
18508 | and will not the same means which promote your improvement be likewise useful to me? |
18508 | and, from the same hands, the bills contained in his girdle? |
18508 | call you a thousand dollars competence?" |
18508 | continued Williams, suddenly recollecting himself;"have you claimed the reward promised to him who should restore these bills?" |
18508 | continued he, looking around him;"and whence comest thou?" |
18508 | continued he, looking up, and observing me standing a few paces distant, and listening to their discourse;"what''s wanted? |
18508 | dead? |
18508 | he exclaimed, in a transport of fury,"a''n''t I master of my own house? |
18508 | he had promised secrecy, and would, by no means, betray him? |
18508 | how wouldst thou have fared, if Heaven had not sent me to thy succour? |
18508 | let it be so, will you? |
18508 | or is my scene indebted for variety and change to my propensity to look into other people''s concerns, and to make their sorrows and their joys mine? |
18508 | said I,"what ails you? |
18508 | said I,( her eye, still averted, seemed to hold back the tear with difficulty, and she made a motion as if to rise,)"have I grieved you? |
18508 | said I;"do you mean that he is dead?" |
18508 | said I;"has all this miserable pageantry, this midnight wandering, and this ominous interview, been no more than--_a dream_?" |
18508 | said I;"of what moment can my opinions be to her?" |
18508 | said he, in a tone of disappointment,"you then saw the lady?" |
18508 | she exclaimed, with increasing vehemence;"where did you meet with him? |
18508 | she exclaimed,"are you Watson?" |
18508 | she repeated,"what brings you here?" |
18508 | was it a latent error in my moral constitution, which this new conjuncture drew forth into influence? |
18508 | what have I done? |
18508 | what have you done?" |
18508 | what mean you? |
18508 | what shall I do for thy relief? |
18508 | where are you?" |
18508 | who''s this that comes into other people''s houses without so much as saying''by your leave''? |
18508 | why deal in apologies, circuities, and innuendoes? |
18508 | why do n''t you do as I bid you?" |
18508 | why do you stay here?" |
18508 | will you compel me to call the gentlemen?" |
18508 | would you do thus? |
18508 | you come to tell me that she burnt the will, and is going to administer-- to what, I beseech you? |
