27950 | Actions?... |
27950 | Ah, why?... |
27950 | Ah; he has revealed that much, has he? |
27950 | Am I going to be own cousin to a marchioness?... |
27950 | And I suppose He said to Himself,''I will let Diana and Meryl Pym see one of my secret, treasured places''? |
27950 | And are you... er... a scientist, evolving a theory about the ruins? |
27950 | And at first?... |
27950 | And could n''t we go there with you? |
27950 | And did you like this wild, wilderness land of silence? |
27950 | And do n''t you ever feel you are wasting your talents? |
27950 | And do you think Major Carew is here about some such matters? |
27950 | And fish?... |
27950 | And how do you know that with such sureness? |
27950 | And in the meantime intermarriage? |
27950 | And is he coming? |
27950 | And it is lying idle? |
27950 | And let you go alone?... 27950 And now I am here?" |
27950 | And she told you?... |
27950 | And something had happened?... |
27950 | And suppose Meryl wishes to hold to her promise and give herself to her country? |
27950 | And was it equally obvious who the other woman was? |
27950 | And what about the other one? |
27950 | And what about this brilliant speech of General Grets''reported this morning? 27950 And what are you going to do?" |
27950 | And what do you say, Meryl? 27950 And what do you think South Africa will say?" |
27950 | And what do you think he is down here for now? |
27950 | And what happened to cause the quarrel? |
27950 | And what in the world do you want it to be? 27950 And what in the world do you want with a corpse, Di?" |
27950 | And what is the truth? |
27950 | And what should you be doing with the old corpse when you''ve taken the gold? |
27950 | And what would have happened to Stanley, do you suppose?... 27950 And when did you propose to begin?" |
27950 | And why do you want to know? |
27950 | And will you promise to growl very prettily? |
27950 | And you are fond of the natives? 27950 And you feel like Cecil Rhodes?... |
27950 | And you gave him a lesson? |
27950 | And you have never been back? |
27950 | And you heard me discussing your amiable attributes? 27950 And you will take us?..." |
27950 | And you will tell him?... |
27950 | And you? |
27950 | And you?... |
27950 | Any news, sir? |
27950 | Are you going to the Grand Hotel? |
27950 | Are you still worrying about that absurd money? 27950 Are you sure?" |
27950 | As I asked you on Tuesday, I ask you again,''What do you think of a man who marries a woman when he does not love her?'' |
27950 | But I hope in the meantime you do not endorse the slander?... |
27950 | But I thought Native Commissioners were always gentlemen? |
27950 | But can nothing be done, do you think? |
27950 | But he is still a Church missionary, is he not? |
27950 | But if you have fever? |
27950 | But need you be bothered with us? |
27950 | But not better than something else, perhaps? |
27950 | But that did not appeal to you? |
27950 | But that is n''t what you came for? |
27950 | But that is what you wo n''t see; how should you? 27950 But the standard will improve as the country grows?" |
27950 | But where? 27950 But why all this mystery?... |
27950 | But why go at all? |
27950 | But you will go? |
27950 | But you?... |
27950 | But your home?... |
27950 | But your people? |
27950 | But, of course, it did n''t?... |
27950 | Ca n''t I tempt you to come also? 27950 Can you not see the rest?... |
27950 | Can you tell me where I can find Henry Delcombe? |
27950 | Can you tell me why chiefly? |
27950 | Certainly not,agreed Grenville gravely;"but why not make it a lion while you are about it, or even a rhinoceros?" |
27950 | Coming here, sir?... 27950 Compensations that make it worth while?" |
27950 | Could it in any way better be given the lie? |
27950 | Dearie,murmured Diana again,"was she crying because of that big soldier- policeman up north?" |
27950 | Decent old Johnny, was n''t he? 27950 Did he say whom?" |
27950 | Did he tell her so? |
27950 | Did ye ask either of them to share your little wooden hut?... |
27950 | Did you have a successful trip, sir? |
27950 | Did you know him before he came out here? |
27950 | Did you see the announcement yesterday? |
27950 | Did your diviner divine any ghosts while he was about it?... |
27950 | Do n''t do what?... |
27950 | Do n''t you_ know_? |
27950 | Do you call him Kid? |
27950 | Do you feel as if you hated it and worshipped it both together? 27950 Do you find the natives lovable, and the primitive conditions?... |
27950 | Do you know Major Carew well? |
27950 | Do you know the Macaulays? |
27950 | Do you know, Major Carew, your singularly appropriate nickname has been subjected to a little embroidery?... 27950 Do you know?" |
27950 | Do you mean he has gone already and without saying good- bye? |
27950 | Do you mean to say you sat perfectly still in front of him, and let him sit on, thinking himself alone, and then suddenly discover you?... |
27950 | Does n''t Major Carew ever growl when he is here? |
27950 | Eh... eh... eh... eh... ah,and when Aunt Emily had duly enquired,"What did you say, my dear?" |
27950 | Gone?... |
27950 | Has Major Carew been with you into the temple, yet? |
27950 | Has Meryl a lot of pioneer spirit? |
27950 | Has anyone ever thought of a Rhodes Scholarship, that might take the form of grants of land and be won by competition, I wonder? 27950 Has it any special object, or just a general one?" |
27950 | Has my uncle something to do with your company? 27950 Have I?... |
27950 | Have you everything you need for the night? 27950 Have you had hosts of visitors while you were all alone?" |
27950 | Have you remembered it long enough?... 27950 Heiresses are seemingly not much in your line, sir?" |
27950 | How are the others?... 27950 How did_ you_ know that_ I_ had changed?" |
27950 | How do you do, Miss Diana Pym? |
27950 | How do you specially mean it? |
27950 | How do you think it will prevail? |
27950 | How is everyone, Aunty? |
27950 | How long will you be away? |
27950 | How should numbers of men of fine fibre ever reach Rhodesia at all? 27950 I need n''t, need I?..." |
27950 | I presume you had your reasons? |
27950 | I see; and you think it is for me to attend to the wounded? |
27950 | I should like to, if Di really wants to go; otherwise we could quite well have remained on here, could n''t we? |
27950 | I suppose he wo n''t have heard? |
27950 | I suppose the letter does n''t specify the attention?... 27950 I suppose you are in earnest?" |
27950 | I suppose you do not attempt to analyse it? 27950 I think I understood he was some connection of yours?" |
27950 | I thought people who had been abroad always ran down missionaries, and scoffed at missionary work? |
27950 | I thought you could not possibly return from Segundi for a week? |
27950 | I wonder if Helen will have the sense to manufacture some request? |
27950 | I wonder if my father owns land here? 27950 I wonder if the Major will come through to- night?" |
27950 | I wonder what they are doing?... 27950 I wonder what you were thinking about just then?" |
27950 | I wonder why Rhodesia is so fascinating? |
27950 | I wonder why you say that? |
27950 | If I speak to Meryl to- night, and she decrees that the engagement shall end, will you promise to ride this way to- morrow morning? |
27950 | In a fortnight? |
27950 | In this country I wonder if people say they are''out''or''asleep''when they do not want to be found''at home''? |
27950 | In what way? |
27950 | Is Meryl at home? |
27950 | Is it possible,she asked slowly,"when it seems one side only is honest in its protestations?" |
27950 | Is there some special haste then? |
27950 | It must be a legacy?... |
27950 | It''s a hideous tongue, and he knows it, and what''s the good of pretending anything else? 27950 Married whom?..." |
27950 | May I ask in what exact particular? |
27950 | May I write to you?... 27950 My dear young lady,"he remonstrated,"can you blame me for the unwise, indiscreet utterances of every Dutch predicant who opens his mouth?" |
27950 | Need you ask? |
27950 | Nor England?... |
27950 | O well, it would be silly to pretend to be surprised, would n''t it? |
27950 | O yes, even that; why not?... 27950 O, are there ghosts?" |
27950 | O, do you really think so?... |
27950 | O, is he an original also? |
27950 | O, was it?... |
27950 | O, what did they want to come for,he groaned,"if they had to go away again?" |
27950 | O, wo n''t you at least go to Johannesburg?... |
27950 | Of course you are thinking of starting back to- night and are in a great hurry? |
27950 | Oh, did n''t you know there was nourishment in mule harness?... 27950 Only no one tells them so?" |
27950 | Or are we going to be a... a... frightful nuisance? |
27950 | Or do you mean unclean? |
27950 | Perhaps Meryl knew? |
27950 | Perhaps you will be coming to Johannesburg presently? |
27950 | Perhaps you would sooner drop one on his head to make him look up? |
27950 | Shall I have married her?... |
27950 | Shall I see your father to- night? |
27950 | Shall I wind up again? |
27950 | Shall we go on now? |
27950 | Shall we have your company for a day or two? 27950 Should n''t we ever need to wash?" |
27950 | So you came home to worry us?... |
27950 | Surely it had already reached the limit of human ingenuity? |
27950 | Surely,she thought,"he is not genuinely angry just because I did not tell him I was there?" |
27950 | Tell me something I can do to help them, Billy? |
27950 | Tell me what?... |
27950 | That you are English and I am Dutch?... 27950 That''s the missionary and his wife, is n''t it? |
27950 | The Bear?... |
27950 | The King?... |
27950 | The bear?... |
27950 | The same sort of policeman as Mr. Stanley, I suppose? |
27950 | Then Mrs. Grenville did not tell you? |
27950 | Then we may not see you again before we start for Salisbury? |
27950 | Then what in the world is_ he_ buried in the wilderness for? 27950 Then what? |
27950 | Then why was she crying? |
27950 | Then you knew he cared for someone else? |
27950 | Think you can bear it, aunty?... |
27950 | To any particular end? |
27950 | Was our bronze image a bit hit too? 27950 Well, afterwards?..." |
27950 | Well, how did you get out of it?... 27950 Well, uncle,"was Diana''s greeting,"what do you make of The Bear?" |
27950 | Well, what about Rhodesia? 27950 Well, what does thrive?" |
27950 | Well,he said again,"about that summons?..." |
27950 | Well,she said,"how did you get on with The Bear? |
27950 | Well?... |
27950 | What actions?... 27950 What are you going to do?..." |
27950 | What did Diana say? |
27950 | What did Major Carew say? |
27950 | What do you mean, Diana? |
27950 | What do you think? |
27950 | What does it mean, Billy?... 27950 What does it say to you, Meryl?..." |
27950 | What else did he do? |
27950 | What for? |
27950 | What happens when you two overbalance and do n''t happen to be near enough to catch each other?... 27950 What has given you the notion, Meryl? |
27950 | What have you been doing? |
27950 | What in the world,she wondered,"was this smart, soldierly looking man, correctly booted and spurred, sitting down there for in the ruins?..." |
27950 | What question?... |
27950 | What to do? |
27950 | What?... |
27950 | When it played catch- ball with them? |
27950 | When?... |
27950 | Where did he come from? |
27950 | Which question? 27950 Who has to sit on a chair?" |
27950 | Who is The Bear? |
27950 | Who told you?... |
27950 | Who would have thought of finding you here? |
27950 | Why are we here? 27950 Why cowardly?..." |
27950 | Why did he come? |
27950 | Why do n''t you try and teach your people to play the game? |
27950 | Why do you ask it like that? |
27950 | Why do you run away when, for once in a way, you have the chance of a little companionship? 27950 Why do you think he is out here at all? |
27950 | Why do you think so? |
27950 | Why in the world do you want to go to Rhodesia? |
27950 | Why is that, do you think? |
27950 | Why may I not? |
27950 | Why shall I have to take you? |
27950 | Why? |
27950 | Will it be all right for my niece to accompany us? |
27950 | Will you have your dress fitted now? |
27950 | Will you let me congratulate you? |
27950 | Will you take me if I promise not to ask any silly questions? |
27950 | Will you tell me what it is you have to say? |
27950 | Wo n''t you sit down? 27950 Wo n''t you sit down? |
27950 | Would n''t you rather have a nice quiet summer in England? |
27950 | Would you like us to go? |
27950 | Would you mind helping me down? |
27950 | You did n''t know I was a politician, did you?... 27950 You found it very engrossing?" |
27950 | You have n''t always been in this part of Rhodesia? |
27950 | You have n''t yet said, How do you do? |
27950 | You mean Major Carew? 27950 You mean?..." |
27950 | You mean?... |
27950 | You mean?... |
27950 | You read Omar? |
27950 | You saved her?... |
27950 | You speak almost as if you never expected to go there again? |
27950 | You think so? |
27950 | You wonder why she engaged herself to you?... 27950 You?..." |
27950 | Your friends, Mr. and Mrs. Grenville,she said coldly,"would they care to see us if we called, or would they think it perhaps just vulgar curiosity?" |
27950 | _ Do_ you know what you want? 27950 _ You?_..."as if she could not believe her own eyes. |
27950 | ''s are pretty cheap nowadays, are n''t they? |
27950 | Ailsa, snug in her little bed, thought happily about the earth and its glad renewing, and woke up her precious Billy to say,"Are you awake, Billy? |
27950 | And are you proud of the mission farm?... |
27950 | And as soon as the other boys discovered...""Did they duck his head in a bucket?..." |
27950 | And he had found?... |
27950 | And how did you leave Salisbury?" |
27950 | And how is your old heap of stones?" |
27950 | And if the instrument used was a woman, has not a great nation itself been built up through such instrumentality? |
27950 | And in any case, how could he tell her his story? |
27950 | And now?... |
27950 | And suddenly, Diana, giving rein to her impulsive temperament, said,"What is your opinion of a man who marries one woman and loves another?" |
27950 | And what about Mr. Stanley, who is also a representative of the Government that made the laws?" |
27950 | And you eat a lot of bully beef, now do n''t you?" |
27950 | And you?" |
27950 | And, anyhow, the great question just now is, having taken over the bridegroom, ought I to take over the wedding presents as well?..." |
27950 | Anyhow, who_ did_ vote the money for the new Government buildings?..." |
27950 | Are we not both South Africans?..." |
27950 | Are you afraid of a spill?..." |
27950 | At last,"And when do you think I should say this to Meryl?" |
27950 | At last--"Is he in Rhodesia now?" |
27950 | Beside those settlers''wives he had said were heroines, was she but an idle, contemptible, useless heiress? |
27950 | But if it was also a sacrifice, an offering of herself and her happiness upon some altar of need, ought he to let her fulfil it? |
27950 | But what had this to do with the trust that was hers? |
27950 | But what of it to the syren?... |
27950 | But what of it? |
27950 | But what?... |
27950 | But who is he?..." |
27950 | But why are n''t you and your brother making a fortune? |
27950 | But why is he? |
27950 | But women are the devil, are n''t they?" |
27950 | Can I offer you anything? |
27950 | Can you hear it?... |
27950 | Coming here to Zimbabwe?" |
27950 | Could a sudden call be arranged?... |
27950 | Could all his love and hope and tenderness bring back joy to the eyes that were his heaven and his earth? |
27950 | Could anything truly separate them if once the love were born? |
27950 | Could he ask any other woman to share that with him?... |
27950 | Could it have been less so?... |
27950 | Could it perhaps be overruled? |
27950 | Could she love him truly enough to hold his love for ever, and through it lead him to heights he might never even sight without her? |
27950 | Could two such humans meet and not love? |
27950 | Diana clapped her hands, feeling her point was won easily, and then added,"Could n''t we take Mr. Stanley with us? |
27950 | Diana went straight to it, and sent a wire, with prepaid reply, directed to Major Carew, which ran:--"Can you come at once? |
27950 | Diana, what you asked me was, what did I think of a man who married one woman and loved another? |
27950 | Did anything else really matter?... |
27950 | Did he chore you up over anything?" |
27950 | Did he see in her only a willing accomplice to her father''s money- making schemes? |
27950 | Did the Kaffir boom shed its great red flowers for ever, like drops of blood upon the altar of the world''s pain? |
27950 | Did you know he was once engaged to someone who died?" |
27950 | Do n''t you hear the note of revelling now?... |
27950 | Do n''t you hear them?... |
27950 | Do n''t you?" |
27950 | Do you happen to know?" |
27950 | Do you remember our first meeting in the ruins, when I sat quite still and watched you until you looked up?... |
27950 | Do you remember the original question, or must I tell you what it was?" |
27950 | Do you think there are any?" |
27950 | Do you think there is anything to eat there except locusts and wild honey?" |
27950 | Do you think they''ve brought their lunch with them, or shall we send them some?" |
27950 | Do you want to go a journey to convert heathen, or preach Christian Science, or explore untrodden country? |
27950 | Does anything else really matter if you can love me in return?" |
27950 | Does the dinner come in and find you both sprawling on the floor?" |
27950 | For answer, she said thoughtfully,"I wonder if something hurt him very badly some time or other?" |
27950 | For you at least they are worth while?" |
27950 | Going strong?... |
27950 | Granting that what you have told me is true, what do you expect me to do?" |
27950 | Grenville?" |
27950 | Had Rhodesia, in her sunny loveliness, been wife and child to the great man who went lonely to his grave?... |
27950 | Had he cared for it all very much then?... |
27950 | Had he ever told anyone? |
27950 | Had he for a moment believed that it would? |
27950 | Had he not then outlived anything? |
27950 | Had he only put his memories lightly to sleep, and dreamt all the life he had lived since? |
27950 | Had he, after all, been seriously delayed? |
27950 | Had he, that great Imperialist, looked at it with those calm eyes of his, and known just that sense of aching love?... |
27950 | Has Rhodesia any use for... for such as I?" |
27950 | Hated its remote magnificence and devilish cruelty, and worshipped it because you could n''t help yourself, either from fear or wonder? |
27950 | Have you any ideas at all, or are you just a blank?" |
27950 | Have you found a gold- mine up there?... |
27950 | Have you heard that little song before that I was singing? |
27950 | Have you made up your mind how you propose to heal him?" |
27950 | Having asked, she added with a light touch,"I imagine you are hardly ready yet for libraries and public parks and orphanages?" |
27950 | He paused, then added,"I wonder if he has the remotest idea that, owing to several deaths, he is now the next heir to the Marquis of Toxeter?" |
27950 | He was a great hunter who had lost his way, and dragged himself into the temple to die....""I thought you said he strode in?..." |
27950 | How are you?" |
27950 | How came they with long, dark, curling lashes when her hair was a dusky, light shade, with soft waves and gleams of sunlight? |
27950 | How can I go to her and tell her that once I killed the woman I loved?... |
27950 | How can I speak to her of love-- I, the policeman, she the heiress?... |
27950 | How can I tell her that story which was told to you?... |
27950 | How could I?... |
27950 | How could Meryl let you?... |
27950 | How could any land, however willing, look spruce and green and clean with no rain for four months? |
27950 | How could any self- respecting young cock bird or male insect go and pay his addresses in a dusty, dirty, faded coat? |
27950 | How could he go to her with that story and empty- handed as well; she the heiress of great wealth, and he without even a name and position? |
27950 | How could you be so careless? |
27950 | How do you know she has not cared for this man for a long time? |
27950 | How shall I explain? |
27950 | How would it go?... |
27950 | How, why, where?... |
27950 | I hardly thought.... Have you... have you... remembered everything?..." |
27950 | I have married a wife, an English one, therefore I can not come?..." |
27950 | I hope Mr. Stanley has made himself very useful?" |
27950 | I hope he thinks so?" |
27950 | I may call you Meryl, may n''t I?... |
27950 | I mean the dust and the journey? |
27950 | I shall not tell the Jo''burg folk about not aiming; why should I? |
27950 | I suppose we could both come?" |
27950 | I suppose you have n''t heard?" |
27950 | I suppose you knew that he was going to be married just before he came away, and something rather dreadful happened?" |
27950 | I understood from the young trooper there that he is some relation to the Fourtenay- Carews?" |
27950 | I wonder at what particular point you saw first?..." |
27950 | I wonder if, in another existence, I was one of the wives or handmaidens in Abraham''s caravanserai? |
27950 | I wonder why God painted such lovely scenes where no one ever came, or scarcely ever, to see them?" |
27950 | If I persuade father to take me up to Rhodesia with him, will you come too?..." |
27950 | If he then married an Englishwoman, not even South African born, would he not be held up to ridicule by his colleagues? |
27950 | If it was true, how was it he had never heard?... |
27950 | If there were anything I could do to serve you?..." |
27950 | If you were going on to the top of the kopje, may I come with you?" |
27950 | In a more serious mood, however, she asked him presently,"I suppose it has been rather a disappointment?... |
27950 | In a young, struggling country what place was there for the idly, gracefully rich? |
27950 | In all the annals of the race, is there anything to compare with their service to the coming swarm?" |
27950 | In any case, what right have I to cross_ his_ path now?" |
27950 | Interest, excitement of a kind, freedom....""And the women?" |
27950 | Is he rich and haughty, with lovely estates left to dishonest stewards, and all that?..." |
27950 | Is n''t it enough that you know she could love you as a Rhodesian soldier- policeman? |
27950 | Is n''t it the same with the men?" |
27950 | Is the grass dry enough to burn to- night?" |
27950 | Is this one of the rich rewards Life holds in the palm of her hand for the path- finders?... |
27950 | It was just a silly muddle altogether, do you see?... |
27950 | Laughter and gay music and devil- may- care colonists awaking echoes that have been more or less silent to civilisation for how many thousand years? |
27950 | Meinheer van Hert, Mister Pym says, will you drink with him?..." |
27950 | Meryl had it on the tip of her tongue to add,"They do n''t mind even millionaires''daughters?" |
27950 | Meryl laid a sympathetic hand on her arm and murmured,"And you?..." |
27950 | Meryl, I wonder if we shall ever see anything quite like this again? |
27950 | Nay, why did he half begin to wish that he had not let himself be overruled by his own counsel of prudence? |
27950 | Now do you understand?" |
27950 | Now, I want to know how and when you discovered that I loved another?..." |
27950 | Now, did n''t you?..." |
27950 | O, what did it matter about afterwards, if one had put up a good fight and dared the deep waters? |
27950 | Of course it ca n''t go on; but what in the name of all that''s wonderful can I do to stop it?... |
27950 | Once seated, however, he turned to her and said, gravely,"Of course, that remark of yours had to do with our conversation the last time we sat here?" |
27950 | Only, what could she do; ah, what? |
27950 | Or does n''t it all sometimes make you just long to scream?... |
27950 | Or was it indeed all finished for ever? |
27950 | Or why, since he had chosen not to do so, could he not put the whole remembrance from his mind? |
27950 | Perhaps if I could get Major Carew to talk?..." |
27950 | Shall I ask her?..." |
27950 | Shall I go now? |
27950 | Shall I tell you a little, or will it bore you?" |
27950 | Shall we go back?" |
27950 | Shall you like that?..." |
27950 | She kissed his hand again, and asked in low tones,"Why was she crying when she came out of the study? |
27950 | She only looked at him a trifle anxiously, saying,"But, of course, you could never give up Rhodesia? |
27950 | She was rich, she was free, she was young, she was strong; why dawdle and dream among the fiords of Norway? |
27950 | She was silent a few moments, and then added simply,"I suppose you knew him personally?" |
27950 | She who did not even bear the heat and burden of the day in making the money?... |
27950 | She... she... is not sorry about things?..." |
27950 | Stanley, looking much amused, replied,"You must mean the Major; but you have n''t met him, have you?" |
27950 | Suddenly Diana asked,"I suppose he is pretty sick about two modern young women presuming to journey here to gaze at his treasure?" |
27950 | Surely that were the simpler plan? |
27950 | Surely the wonderful old ruins are somewhere near Edwardstown, father? |
27950 | The making of walls and fortifications for another race, centuries afterwards, to look upon with cold wonder and curiosity? |
27950 | The one perhaps who spent the gains heartlessly and carelessly elsewhere? |
27950 | The only question that seemed to arise was, what did she specially want of the women ready to serve her? |
27950 | The wedding he so dreaded was safely prevented, but would the happiness come back?... |
27950 | The young trooper watched him a moment, and then added:"Did you have trouble with M''Basch?" |
27950 | Then Meryl spoke:"Why ca n''t we go back with you to South Africa, father?" |
27950 | Then she had not gone with Stanley and Diana? |
27950 | Then, changing her voice subtly, she enquired,"Is it too much for you, aunty?... |
27950 | There is nothing whatever to fear, but if it would add to your comfort?..." |
27950 | There was a decided gleam in the millionaire''s eyes as he inquired,"And what do you want to do instead, Di?" |
27950 | These might be won some day as restful leisure hours in a strenuous life; but without the just winning, what had they to do with her? |
27950 | They moved towards the hotel together, and Ailsa asked,"Have you seen them?" |
27950 | Thought it out thoroughly?... |
27950 | To what end turn this existence, blessed by fortune with wealth and the power wealth brings, though suddenly swept bare of joy? |
27950 | Unanimous in what?... |
27950 | Was he really coming at last? |
27950 | Was he still grinding at his report, she wondered, looking like a bronze figure? |
27950 | Was it all, then, vanity, this building and striving?... |
27950 | Was it as lovely then?... |
27950 | Was it possible that Ailsa''s accusation was true? |
27950 | Was it possible that already his preference was given to Diana, with her light raillery and ready laugh? |
27950 | Was it the altar of sacrifice? |
27950 | Was she ill for long?" |
27950 | Was the other perhaps to be sacrificed to his rigid, indomitable pride? |
27950 | Was there any special kindness in letting him know that I had the perspicacity to see it?" |
27950 | Was there still time to get away, he wondered? |
27950 | We prodded him last night, did n''t we?" |
27950 | Well, I wonder what Dutch Willie will have to say to that?" |
27950 | Were there many like them among his own countrymen? |
27950 | Were they blue, or were they grey?... |
27950 | Were they brave, were they mighty in stature, those men who evolved and achieved those wonderful defence works? |
27950 | Were they fair, those women of that old, old day? |
27950 | Were you wondering what you are here for too?" |
27950 | What can have influenced her?... |
27950 | What can it be?... |
27950 | What did he mean?... |
27950 | What did he not mean?... |
27950 | What did she want with an English village? |
27950 | What did they want with ancient rites and wonderful relics of antiquities? |
27950 | What did you do?..." |
27950 | What do you and your colleagues want it for so badly, anyway?..." |
27950 | What do you say, Meryl?... |
27950 | What does it matter who and what I was before?... |
27950 | What else is there in heroism? |
27950 | What had become of it?... |
27950 | What had become of the gay Londoner, who drove the smartest four- in- hand in the park, and rode the fastest horse to hounds? |
27950 | What has kept him so reserved in every particular all these years?" |
27950 | What have those lonely mountains worth revealing? |
27950 | What have you been doing all the week?" |
27950 | What he said was,"Do you wish me also to lose my career and leave the Blues?" |
27950 | What in the world can a man like that see in a missionary? |
27950 | What in the world was she to say to him?... |
27950 | What is it?... |
27950 | What might it not result from?... |
27950 | What of it, Meryl?... |
27950 | What shall I do with all this money my father makes? |
27950 | What shall we do? |
27950 | What shall you say to your colleagues the next time they are expecting you at one of their fiery denunciation meetings?... |
27950 | What should such a man as he be drawn to except in friendly intercourse in a girl as young and simple and undeveloped as herself? |
27950 | What should_ you_ do, for instance, if you suddenly found you cared for someone else more than Meryl?" |
27950 | What then should she do with her life? |
27950 | What to her was a yachting cruise in Norway? |
27950 | What was there to say? |
27950 | What was to be done? |
27950 | What''s the use of decayed old walls anyway? |
27950 | What, in the name of fortune,_ is_ the good of going to Rhodesia? |
27950 | When she felt she had complete control of her voice, she asked,"And you were never able to be married?" |
27950 | When will you see her?" |
27950 | Where is Jeanne, I wonder? |
27950 | Where should she go? |
27950 | Where then are the bones of their dead? |
27950 | Where was the gold taken to from Solfala, and by whom? |
27950 | While for her?... |
27950 | Who could she be?... |
27950 | Who do you pay it to?" |
27950 | Who shall attempt to explain?... |
27950 | Who shall say?... |
27950 | Who was it came for gold in those old, old days? |
27950 | Why are you sure he is an artist?" |
27950 | Why ca n''t he behave like an ordinary man just once in a way? |
27950 | Why does Rhodesia fascinate? |
27950 | Why had he come back? |
27950 | Why had he looked full and deep into her eyes like that?... |
27950 | Why had he not gazed only upon the mountains that soothed and refreshed him?... |
27950 | Why had he not taken her? |
27950 | Why need they come?... |
27950 | Why not go and get it over, instead of troubling to send an excuse? |
27950 | Why not to- night?" |
27950 | Why not wait and see them first?" |
27950 | Why not?" |
27950 | Why scale Swiss mountains? |
27950 | Why should he be? |
27950 | Why should it?..." |
27950 | Why should n''t I have a little romance if I want to? |
27950 | Why should we be condemned to some dull little hole of an English village, just because there is to be no London season?" |
27950 | Why should we?... |
27950 | Why torture yourself unnecessarily?" |
27950 | Why was he hovering in the grip of it again, that strong need of the human, however resolute, for sympathy, for companionship, for understanding? |
27950 | Why, after all, should he not go with her just once, and no doubt Diana also, and tell them a little about the mysterious walls? |
27950 | Why, there are lions and elephants and things, and the natives are savages; surely no mines are worth running such risks?" |
27950 | Will you kindly say good- bye to the ladies for me, should I be prevented doing so in person?" |
27950 | Will you ride the same way to- morrow?" |
27950 | Will you sometimes write to me?... |
27950 | Will you stay in Bulawayo, or go back to Johannesburg?" |
27950 | Will your party allow you to consummate the match, do you think?..." |
27950 | With all his money, and all his power and influence, what could he do in this one thing that seemed to matter beyond all other things? |
27950 | Wo n''t you sit down? |
27950 | Wo n''t you sit down?" |
27950 | Would a scheme like that work, do you think?" |
27950 | Would anything ever ease it in reality? |
27950 | Would he ever tell anyone?... |
27950 | Would humanity ever sing again as the sons of the morning? |
27950 | Would you all like to go to Norway?" |
27950 | Would you like a police- boy to keep guard here all night? |
27950 | XX FAREWELL"Did I hear the growl of a bear?" |
27950 | Yet how could it very well be otherwise? |
27950 | Yet if penance were required, what had he not given?... |
27950 | Yet what use to fret and trouble now? |
27950 | You and I do n''t either of us care for much beating about the bush and subterfuge, do we?" |
27950 | You did n''t find much brilliance there, I imagine? |
27950 | You do n''t seem to mind his bearishness, Meryl? |
27950 | You know, of course, that Meryl Pym has become engaged to Mr. van Hert, the well- known Dutch politician?" |
27950 | You surely did n''t imagine I was going to carry a sun- umbrella about, did you?" |
27950 | You will be there?" |
27950 | You would n''t let any claim come before hers?" |
27950 | _ I_ offer love to Meryl Pym?... |
27950 | a sudden need for hasty departure?... |
27950 | are you really and truly a missionary?" |
27950 | bravely;"your country?..." |
27950 | do you call it?... |
27950 | do you hear that?... |
27950 | have you lived beside this all these months?'' |
27950 | if he had stayed in the army?" |
27950 | in quick surprise; and after a short, tense silence,"Then why in the world?..." |
27950 | is it likely?..." |
27950 | let the burden of such a memory faintly touch her life?... |
27950 | or is the plural Bantams?... |
27950 | or the corpses in the temple hung with gold ornaments?..." |
27950 | or would he go quietly on through his life, self- contained, self- dependent, aloof? |
27950 | that keeps Major Carew so aloof? |
27950 | that... that... perhaps it belongs to it?..." |
27950 | the happiness that had been in that household before they went to Rhodesia? |
27950 | the millionaire?... |
27950 | what?... |
27950 | what?... |
27950 | why ca n''t I have a hut in the wilderness?..." |
27950 | you will know that I mean, is it your day of lordly graciousness, or is it the cast- iron, beware- of- the- bull frown day?" |
32926 | A pretty house, Nompiza-- ah-- ah-- a pretty house, is it not? |
32926 | Action? |
32926 | Active service? |
32926 | Am I getting irremediably freckled and tanned? |
32926 | Am I interrupting you? |
32926 | Am I not colonial enough? |
32926 | Am I? 32926 And I am among friends at last, and safe?" |
32926 | And do you remember my asking if there was n''t a chance of the natives rising and killing us all? |
32926 | And if he had not` taken possession''of me in that ghastly place on the Umgwane, and kept it ever since, where would I be now? |
32926 | And is that why he was reduced? |
32926 | And now, what is this vengeance? |
32926 | And one in particular, eh? |
32926 | And so you know their language and have to look after them? 32926 And so you were coming to me for refuge?" |
32926 | And tattered? 32926 And that is all?" |
32926 | And thought a great deal of him? |
32926 | And what might that be? |
32926 | And who will give it when there are no more whites in the land? |
32926 | And would you mind so very much if it did not? |
32926 | And you keep them in order, and know all that''s going on? |
32926 | And you knew me from that? |
32926 | And-- for Umlimo? |
32926 | Are you dead sure your imagination was n''t playing tricks with you, Nidia? 32926 Are you influencing these rebels, then?" |
32926 | As soon as myself? |
32926 | As to the first-- skittles; as to the last-- why do you think so? |
32926 | At our own risk? 32926 Back again, eh? |
32926 | Bless the man, is he quite a fool? |
32926 | But I do n''t want it, ca n''t you understand? |
32926 | But have you ever told anybody else what you have told me? |
32926 | But how did I get here? 32926 But how do we know these chaps are not lying?" |
32926 | But if they were his own people they would not harm him? |
32926 | But is n''t it full of savages now? |
32926 | But what you do, missis? 32926 But where is she?" |
32926 | But will you not join us? 32926 But you admit that it is one which entails a grave responsibility?" |
32926 | But-- where are the rest of you? 32926 By the way, I wonder if they brought our bicycles from the station?" |
32926 | Ca n''t? 32926 Can we get there to- night?" |
32926 | Contrary to your orders? 32926 Did I fall far?" |
32926 | Did I? 32926 Did n''t I tell you I was studying her rather closely? |
32926 | Did you think so, Susie? 32926 Did you? |
32926 | Didst thou glance over one shoulder on the way hither, Nanzicele? 32926 Do I happen to know? |
32926 | Do I? |
32926 | Do n''t you, or wo n''t you, understand that you are the cause of getting Nidia talked about? 32926 Do they ride bikes much up- country-- I think you said you were from up- country, did you not?" |
32926 | Do you know Bulawayo at all? |
32926 | Do you? |
32926 | Do_ you_ wish it? |
32926 | Dogs? 32926 Dost remember how I was driven from thy father''s kraal with jeers? |
32926 | Er-- could one have a tub-- among other things? |
32926 | Er-- which policeman is it, Piccanin? |
32926 | Even then, why should we not? |
32926 | Even your vigilance was as nothing against me, John Ames, for did I not step right over you while you slept? |
32926 | Find any nice girls down there, eh, Ames? |
32926 | Gave? 32926 Good- bye?" |
32926 | Has he done wrong? |
32926 | Has n''t it? |
32926 | Hast thou brought what I desired of thee, Nanzicele? |
32926 | Have I not spoken? |
32926 | Have n''t you had enough of that sort of thing yet, Nidia? 32926 Have n''t you had enough of that yet?" |
32926 | Have you forgotten that last long day of ours, down by the sea, that you can ask such a question? |
32926 | Have you not been treated well-- treated with every consideration and justice by your officer? 32926 He had no gun, you say?" |
32926 | He who is servant to Jonemi? |
32926 | Her way, is it? 32926 Here''s a bloody nigger, ai n''t there? |
32926 | How I can know? 32926 How do you know he''ll appreciate the distinction you propose to confer upon him? |
32926 | How many are there? |
32926 | How much you give me? |
32926 | How the mischief am I going to get through the rainy season? 32926 How''s that?" |
32926 | I dare say you''ve blazed away nearer a thousand cartridges than a hundred, eh, Ames? |
32926 | I ought to start by to- night''s train--then, breaking off--"Where is Mrs Bateman? |
32926 | I wonder is it? |
32926 | In battle? |
32926 | In hiding? 32926 Is it long since you came out?" |
32926 | Is it safe up there? |
32926 | Is n''t he that rather good- looking chap who was sitting at our table the day I had lunch with you at Cogill''s? |
32926 | Is n''t the journey a frightful one? |
32926 | Is that one of your boys? |
32926 | Is there anything in that Umlimo superstition, do you think, John? |
32926 | Is there no fear of those dreadful savages rising some night and killing us all? |
32926 | Is this how my orders are obeyed? 32926 It was n''t our faults, was it?" |
32926 | Jimmie, my poor child, what has happened? 32926 John,"she said, looking up suddenly,"is it because of what I told you yesterday?" |
32926 | Jonemi? |
32926 | Kids? |
32926 | Lupiswana, for one? |
32926 | Marry who? 32926 May n''t I go with you?" |
32926 | Miss who? |
32926 | Moseley, Tarrant-- you might step forward and meet her, eh? 32926 News?" |
32926 | Nidia, is it fair to encourage that man as you do? |
32926 | Nidia,called a voice from within-- a voice not untinged with acerbity--"won''t Mr Ames come inside?" |
32926 | No more whites in the land? 32926 No more?" |
32926 | No? 32926 Not John Ames?" |
32926 | Now, how often have we fought over this already? 32926 Of what art thou thinking, Nompiza?" |
32926 | Oh, as to that,he rejoined, speaking in a tone of studied carelessness,"where should I have been all this time without you? |
32926 | Oh, it''s about Miss Commerell they are talking? 32926 Oh, she does` appeal''to you, then? |
32926 | Once yours? |
32926 | Really? 32926 Really? |
32926 | Rinderpest? 32926 Robinson, was n''t it?" |
32926 | Roll up, man, and have an appetiser, Crosse, you''ll cut in? |
32926 | Running away? |
32926 | Safe? |
32926 | Safety? 32926 Say, Ames-- what sort of show you think we got?" |
32926 | Sea air? 32926 Seen me before?" |
32926 | Shall I tell you something-- darling? |
32926 | Show? 32926 Sikumbutana? |
32926 | So you''ve met before? |
32926 | Strange, is n''t it, how adaptable one can become? |
32926 | Such` little extra care''as you displayed only yesterday, John Ames? 32926 Sun over the yard- arm yet? |
32926 | Ten? 32926 That may be when thou art old and tottering, Nompiza, or it may mean this night, for what is time but a flash, even as that of the summer lightning? |
32926 | That so? 32926 The children of Umlimo have pretty houses, do they not-- pretty houses?" |
32926 | The parting of the ways? |
32926 | The proposed move? 32926 The son of Mambane?" |
32926 | The son of thy father, who is servant to Jonemi? |
32926 | The time, Children of Matyobane? 32926 Then how will you face the-- parting of the ways?" |
32926 | Then it was you I challenged that morning in the dark? |
32926 | Then what revenge could you wreak that would be too full, too sweet, upon whosoever should be instrumental in bereaving you of her for ever? 32926 Then why is he not here, long before now?" |
32926 | Then you do n''t believe in a particular prophet who talks out of a cave? |
32926 | Then, how did you know--"--About the explorations? 32926 They are for Umlimo?" |
32926 | This night? 32926 This night?" |
32926 | Thou knowest Pukele-- the servant of Jonemi? |
32926 | Three-- may not I keep one of them? 32926 Thy sister, formerly wife of Makani?" |
32926 | To go home? 32926 To remain where I am? |
32926 | To show a broader road to more whites to come into it by? 32926 To take care of you? |
32926 | To whom is she going? 32926 Trust your life to him, would you?" |
32926 | Tub? 32926 Tub? |
32926 | Was I right? |
32926 | We have had a good time, have n''t we? |
32926 | We met last under very different circumstances, did n''t we, Mrs Bateman? |
32926 | We''ve taught them how to fight the devil with fire-- eh? |
32926 | Well, Susie, was n''t I justified in my prediction? |
32926 | Well, and what''s the latest in the way of scares? |
32926 | Well, but, Nidia, how much further is this thing to go? 32926 Well, now, Ames, you''ll roll up to` skoff''at seven, wo n''t you, unless you''ll change your mind and come in now?" |
32926 | Well, what did Nanzicele do? |
32926 | Well, when I tell you people are beginning to talk about it? |
32926 | Well? |
32926 | Were you all the time at the Cape before coming up here, Miss Commerell? |
32926 | What about Nompiza? |
32926 | What are you waiting for, you blanked idiots? |
32926 | What did I put on? |
32926 | What did the fool run up against our guns for, in that cast- iron hurry? |
32926 | What do you think of that, John Ames? |
32926 | What have you been troubled about? 32926 What is it?" |
32926 | What is that, Pukele? |
32926 | What is the life of a man, more or less, when Umlimo has spoken? |
32926 | What is the matter? |
32926 | What is this? |
32926 | What shall I do to make you talk? |
32926 | What sort of a place is Bulawayo? |
32926 | What sort of a time did you have down in Cape Town, Ames? |
32926 | What the devil do you mean, sir, by disobeying orders? 32926 What were you wondering?" |
32926 | What, is it you see-- or know? 32926 What? |
32926 | What? |
32926 | When I woke up in the dark--"Are you sure you did wake up in the dark? 32926 When must you go?" |
32926 | When? 32926 Where am I?" |
32926 | Where are thy people-- the other Amakiwa-- and thy horses? |
32926 | Where did you know each other? |
32926 | Where have we not met? |
32926 | Where is she going? 32926 Where you go?" |
32926 | Where? |
32926 | Which man? 32926 Which prediction? |
32926 | Who are you? |
32926 | Who is he, George? |
32926 | Who is it? |
32926 | Who is the` dog''? 32926 Who is` Pukele,''Miss Commerell?" |
32926 | Who talks of time? 32926 Who talks of time?" |
32926 | Who the devil is Hollingworth when he''s at home, Moseley? |
32926 | Who were the indunas he was talking with? |
32926 | Who? |
32926 | Why did you do that? |
32926 | Why have you-- have you all done this thing, Nanzicele? |
32926 | Why should there be any parting? |
32926 | Why should we lose sight of each other? |
32926 | Why so? |
32926 | Why, then, should Makiwa[ Matabele term for the white man] wish to bewitch all the cattle? |
32926 | Why, we were fellow- passengers, fellow- actors, fellow- all- sorts- of- things, were n''t we, Miss Commerell? 32926 Why? |
32926 | Will the reward be of lead or of raw- hide? |
32926 | Wished well and acted well towards us? |
32926 | With more than two ideas in his head? |
32926 | Wo n''t you, old chap? 32926 Wonder if there are any crocs in these water puddles, Moseley? |
32926 | Wot''ll yer tike for the chawnce? |
32926 | Would n''t you? |
32926 | Would you? |
32926 | Yea-- whose? |
32926 | Yes; are n''t they? |
32926 | Yes; he is different to the general ruck, is n''t he? |
32926 | Yes? 32926 Yes? |
32926 | Yes? |
32926 | Yet why should you ever have entertained it? 32926 Yonder dogs, shall we call them and set them on to devour this white witch?" |
32926 | You are a policeman, are you not? |
32926 | You are feeling much better than when you came down, are you not, Mr Ames? |
32926 | You do n''t think they have-- killed him? |
32926 | You had a long time to run yet, had n''t you? |
32926 | You know him, then? |
32926 | You know him? |
32926 | You will send no cattle? |
32926 | You-- a policeman? 32926 Your horse jump, Ames?" |
32926 | ` Present company--''of course? |
32926 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------"How will you face the parting of the ways?" |
32926 | A blow from behind, a sudden stab, in the desperate impulse of the moment-- what more likely? |
32926 | A cry? |
32926 | A moan? |
32926 | A table? |
32926 | Aloud she said--"I wonder when_ we_ shall be going up- country?" |
32926 | Am I not right?" |
32926 | And Nanzicele? |
32926 | And our cattle-- whose hand was it that destroyed them daily?" |
32926 | And she? |
32926 | And so I encourage John Ames, do I? |
32926 | And the wizard? |
32926 | And these? |
32926 | And what of Nidia herself? |
32926 | And what of the unfortunate trooper? |
32926 | And when they should be over-- what then? |
32926 | And-- this vengeance?" |
32926 | Are those birds ready?" |
32926 | Are you fond of bicycling?" |
32926 | Are you likely to be going up there?" |
32926 | Are you sure it wo n''t inconvenience you?" |
32926 | Are you sure you did not dream you woke up?" |
32926 | Are you the devil himself?" |
32926 | As against that, what if he were mistaken, or partially so? |
32926 | Ask, when you are safe again, how many found it? |
32926 | Baboons? |
32926 | Blood? |
32926 | Breathed there a mystic atmosphere in this weird place which affected the mind? |
32926 | But before they should meet again-- what? |
32926 | But can you get to the sea so soon?" |
32926 | But for him where''d I be now? |
32926 | But here, in the very home of the superstition they had been discussing, could there, after all, be more in it-- more than met the eye? |
32926 | But how did you find your way up here, and when?" |
32926 | But how do you talk, to them? |
32926 | But how would that avail one who has been bitten by Lupiswana? |
32926 | But now? |
32926 | But on what errand? |
32926 | But the dead boy? |
32926 | But the means of descent? |
32926 | But the time, O Word of the Wise? |
32926 | But was it a dream? |
32926 | But what avail? |
32926 | But what if I do not get through? |
32926 | But what if it is some poor wretch who is lost? |
32926 | But what is the` thing''when all''s said and done, and what sort of fish are in the kettle? |
32926 | But what of the more practical side? |
32926 | But why transform the ordinary and mundane into a paradise for one who was to be suffered but one glimpse therein, and now was to be cast forth? |
32926 | But within? |
32926 | But you said he was a reliable boy?" |
32926 | But, Nidia, is n''t it rather rough on the man? |
32926 | But, as my American adorer,` Major''Shackleton, would say,` Oh, do drive on,''By the way, is he the man I am encouraging?" |
32926 | But,"--sitting up, with a stare of blank amazement--"but-- who are you?" |
32926 | But-- how could anybody get up there? |
32926 | But-- oh, what would I have done with that horrible fiend of an animal but for you? |
32926 | But-- was it human? |
32926 | But-- was that all? |
32926 | But-- what was this? |
32926 | But-- what were we talking about?" |
32926 | But-- why had he been spared? |
32926 | But-- you do n''t really think me unfeeling and hard- hearted, Mr Ames?" |
32926 | Ca n''t you tell them it is absolutely impossible to come back just now, that-- er-- in short, on no account can you?" |
32926 | Can anything be clearer than that?" |
32926 | Can they by any chance ever do anything right according to you fellows?" |
32926 | Can they talk English?" |
32926 | Can you not tell me? |
32926 | Cawn''t a chep mike a bloomin''blanked nigger awnswer a question when a gentleman arsts''i m one-- hy?" |
32926 | Could it be that his ideal had stopped down from her pedestal? |
32926 | Could it be that she had deputed this cursed, parrot- faced, interfering woman to take up her part and so clear the ground for her? |
32926 | Could it really be that that odious woman was deputed by Nidia? |
32926 | Could she trust him? |
32926 | Could the_''Nkose_ take any of them on? |
32926 | Could they be? |
32926 | Could they have been authentic? |
32926 | Could this mysterious personage be indeed the chief actor in them? |
32926 | Dare he use his rifle? |
32926 | Did he remember? |
32926 | Did n''t he bring you to me? |
32926 | Did she welcome the fortuitous relief or not? |
32926 | Did that account for the fact that he was still alive? |
32926 | Did the speaker actually hear at that moment a shadowy echo of the mocking laugh which had been hurled at him from the darkness, or did he imagine it? |
32926 | Did you get me here alone?" |
32926 | Didst thou see Lupiswana following thee, yea, even running at thy side? |
32926 | Do I encourage them?" |
32926 | Do n''t you hear? |
32926 | Do n''t you remember all that abominable cannon nuisance when we were in the Bernese Oberland? |
32926 | Do n''t you think it the best plan?" |
32926 | Do n''t you think so?" |
32926 | Do n''t you think you come here rather often?" |
32926 | Do you happen to know that only a couple of days ago I was requested not to come here any more?" |
32926 | Do you promise to observe my instructions implicitly?" |
32926 | Does n''t it, Susie?" |
32926 | Eh, Dibs?" |
32926 | Fires? |
32926 | Great Heaven, where can she have been all this while? |
32926 | Had anything befallen him? |
32926 | Had he any message? |
32926 | Had he by chance put them on the table, and left them there? |
32926 | Had he cleared out, they speculated? |
32926 | Had it seen her? |
32926 | Had she no thought for him and his safety? |
32926 | Had the being, whatever it was, actually entered the cave, passing him seated there on guard? |
32926 | Had the savage enemy found them out at last? |
32926 | Had their mother taken those earthquakes of children for a walk? |
32926 | Have I got a good memory, John?" |
32926 | Have I not always wished well and acted well towards you? |
32926 | He continued to shake his bowl of abomination and mutter; then he went on:"The last time you heard the Great Voice, what did it say? |
32926 | He had delivered the one message, but what of the other enclosure, the one which in some mysterious way concerned himself, the packet marked"B"? |
32926 | Heard anything of it?" |
32926 | Heaven knows how long we are destined to roam the wilds together, but why not keep the conventional until our return to conventionality?" |
32926 | Heavens, what did it mean? |
32926 | Heavens, what do you want to go getting yourself killed for? |
32926 | Here, I say, d''you know Tarrant? |
32926 | Hesitate not, or--""Shall I be allowed to depart from here if I tell, child of the Umlimo?" |
32926 | His heart swelled with an intense and earnest thankfulness, when-- What was that long stealthy movement, away on his right? |
32926 | Hole? |
32926 | How could he harbour such a thought amid the great glad joy of hearing that her safety was assured? |
32926 | How did he get him reduced?" |
32926 | How had he escaped? |
32926 | How shall I earn forgiveness?" |
32926 | How should she have forgotten that this dreadful sorcerer could read the thoughts of men? |
32926 | How was Mrs Bateman? |
32926 | How would she receive the communication? |
32926 | How would they meet? |
32926 | How?" |
32926 | Human? |
32926 | I ca n''t help being a tease, can I? |
32926 | I can be an awful tease at times, ca n''t I? |
32926 | I say, Selwyn, where would you and I have been now but for our friend here giving us the office? |
32926 | I say, old chap, why do n''t you chip in for some of old Madula''s daughters-- marry''em, do n''t you know? |
32926 | I sent him out to find you, and he said you had been among the Matabele, but had been able to leave them again--""Who? |
32926 | I suppose you are in hiding, like ourselves?" |
32926 | I suppose you will be joining one of the forces taking the field as soon as possible, wo n''t you, Mr Ames?" |
32926 | I was wondering?" |
32926 | I wonder are there any exceptions to the rule?" |
32926 | I wonder where he is now?" |
32926 | If there are no King''s cattle for me to send, how can I send any? |
32926 | If this is a general outbreak, what of Hollingworth and his crowd?" |
32926 | Instead of carrying them out promptly, were ye all asleep or drinking beer with the women? |
32926 | Is he getting on well up here, Mr Hollingworth?" |
32926 | Is it anybody we know?" |
32926 | Is n''t he here? |
32926 | Is n''t he?" |
32926 | Is n''t it very exciting?" |
32926 | Is n''t that the correct newspaper phrase? |
32926 | Is not that` word''plain enough, Nanzicele?" |
32926 | Is not this blue- eyed girl you were taking care of for so many days all the world to you-- more than life itself?" |
32926 | Is she ready?" |
32926 | Is that Hollingworth?" |
32926 | Is that nothing?" |
32926 | Is the child mad? |
32926 | Is there an Umlimo cave down there, where they are?" |
32926 | It is something, after all, to be of some use, as I was telling you the other night; do you remember?" |
32926 | It would n''t look well, would it?" |
32926 | John Ames?" |
32926 | Kwa Jonemi?" |
32926 | Man or devil? |
32926 | Might not there be among these some who would befriend him, even as Pukele had done before? |
32926 | Miss Commerell, who''d have thought of meeting_ you_ here? |
32926 | Moseley, can she have escaped?" |
32926 | Mr Ames lives somewhere up here, does n''t he? |
32926 | My boy? |
32926 | Natives? |
32926 | Nice cheerful work it would have been romping about the mountains alone, would n''t it?" |
32926 | Nice girl, is n''t she?" |
32926 | Nidia rejoined--"What in the world will we do when our time comes?" |
32926 | Nidia''s self- possession breaking down so signally? |
32926 | No chance of him clearing with it, eh?" |
32926 | No? |
32926 | Not hurt?" |
32926 | Not really? |
32926 | Now he said softly--"And the other ten cartridges, those in thy bag, Nanzicele? |
32926 | Of death, is it not, my father?" |
32926 | Oh, my dear little boy, what does it all mean?" |
32926 | Oh, why was he so late? |
32926 | Or why not cut that white throat and see the red blood flow? |
32926 | Ought n''t we to try to help him?" |
32926 | Passing beneath this, the trio stood in a circular open space, at the upper end of which were three huts,"What place is this?" |
32926 | People received bequests, even from unknown testators-- received them thankfully; why should not he? |
32926 | Pleasant, is n''t it?" |
32926 | Pukele?" |
32926 | Reinforcements? |
32926 | Rescue?" |
32926 | Samvu? |
32926 | See the plan?" |
32926 | See?" |
32926 | Selfish? |
32926 | Shall I tell thee? |
32926 | She continued--"As you say, why_ should_ we lose sight of each other? |
32926 | She staggered as though to sink into a swoon, when-- What was that? |
32926 | Should they fail him in a matter where private feeling, however deep, was concerned? |
32926 | Snapped? |
32926 | Some hoax? |
32926 | Some practical joke? |
32926 | Still, would it be possible for this satanic being to commit further deeds of atrocity and of blood? |
32926 | Suppose_ Uconde_--bobyaan-- he come again, you much flighten? |
32926 | Tell me, are you able to throw them off while you are away, or do you lie awake sometimes at night wondering if things are going right?" |
32926 | That he might deliver his message to the outside world? |
32926 | That night-- shall I ever forget it? |
32926 | That shape, brushing past him in the darkness-- the hollow, demoniacal laugh? |
32926 | The capture or death of the Umlimo-- would it not be effectual to stop the rising? |
32926 | The fact of a few cattle being sick was seized upon by their rulers as a pretext for the destruction of all; and what would become of the people then? |
32926 | The key? |
32926 | The only thing we ever do fight about, is n''t it? |
32926 | The other man wore a police uniform, you say? |
32926 | The roads are splendid, are n''t they?" |
32926 | The time? |
32926 | The time?" |
32926 | The"brilliant future mapped out for her"--the words seemed burnt into his brain-- what part or lot had he in such, he a mere penniless nobody? |
32926 | Their names? |
32926 | Then gravely,"Any-- er-- losses?" |
32926 | Then he said:--"And this Nanzicele-- is he that big tall Kafir who was nearest us, on the outside of the line, during the cattle- shooting?" |
32926 | Then, excitedly,"Pukele, you do n''t think-- they-- followed him up in the dark-- and-- and killed him?" |
32926 | Then, to her--"Which way he go?" |
32926 | They_ would_ have done this? |
32926 | This woman is in our power; shall we let her go?" |
32926 | To him she said,"Yes; it''s a pity, is n''t it?" |
32926 | Umlimo cave, what dat, missie?" |
32926 | Was I to keep Madula talking for a moon instead of a very small piece of a day, to give thee time to rest thy lazy carcase and go to sleep? |
32926 | Was he at home? |
32926 | Was he dreaming? |
32926 | Was he himself capable of such a hardening-- of so gigantic and ruthless and lifelong a feud? |
32926 | Was he uncertain of the place? |
32926 | Was it a dream, indeed, or was it the actual face which she had seen? |
32926 | Was it a dream-- an awful nightmare? |
32926 | Was it a prophecy? |
32926 | Was it a signal? |
32926 | Was it easy to find the way? |
32926 | Was it for this she had allowed her to leave her English home"for a peep into wild life,"as they had put it when the much debated question had arisen? |
32926 | Was it human? |
32926 | Was it likely they would suffer him to depart, in order hereafter to bear testimony against them? |
32926 | Was it not selfish to feel any sort of satisfaction under such circumstances? |
32926 | Was it only of herself she could think at such a time? |
32926 | Was n''t it bad enough when you nearly did-- when I-- when we-- all thought you were? |
32926 | Was not everything dark enough in all conscience, and what outlook did life afford? |
32926 | Was not his resolution a quixotic one; now, indeed, an impossible one? |
32926 | Was that really a flash of consternation, of regret, that swept over it? |
32926 | Was the child really going off her head? |
32926 | Was the speaker right, after all? |
32926 | We''d have been quietly knocked on the head-- eh?" |
32926 | Well, is there not the wretched sufferer lying bound and helpless within the hut? |
32926 | Well, what do you think the fellow has been doing? |
32926 | Well, when you going to get it for John Ames? |
32926 | Were he to keep this knowledge to himself, how many lives would be sacrificed which otherwise might have been saved? |
32926 | Were his eyes and ears utterly deceiving him? |
32926 | Were not the words thereof as mine are now-- I, its child? |
32926 | Were these people cannibals-- secret cannibals, perhaps? |
32926 | Were they, after all, treacherous? |
32926 | Were you to sit down and weep over the loss of your friends until some obliging barbarian should come up and put an end to you? |
32926 | What can it have been?" |
32926 | What did it mean? |
32926 | What did you think, Nidia?" |
32926 | What do I know about things here, and where would I have been now but for you?" |
32926 | What do you mean, Nidia?" |
32926 | What do you think of this place, Nidia?" |
32926 | What had become of the two natives? |
32926 | What have they done to you-- to-- to everybody?" |
32926 | What his tragic past? |
32926 | What if I were so fortunate as to come in as your escort?" |
32926 | What if he should not come back? |
32926 | What if his own wanderings had ended thus, substituting Matopo for Lebombo? |
32926 | What if the sound of hammering should reach hostile ears? |
32926 | What impulse moved her to put out both her bands to him? |
32926 | What is it?" |
32926 | What matter? |
32926 | What must you have felt, when you first found yourself adrift?" |
32926 | What of their cattle which had all been killed? |
32926 | What on earth do you want to tub now for?" |
32926 | What then? |
32926 | What was it? |
32926 | What was it? |
32926 | What was it? |
32926 | What was that over there? |
32926 | What was that? |
32926 | What was this sudden access to competence in such a case? |
32926 | What was this? |
32926 | What was this? |
32926 | What was to be done with such a girl as this? |
32926 | What would Nidia''s own people have to say in the matter? |
32926 | What would become of her? |
32926 | What would it contain, and how could such contents in any way conduce to his own welfare? |
32926 | What would she do when they returned to safety, and their ways would lie apart? |
32926 | What''s the news?" |
32926 | What-- who could it be? |
32926 | What-- who-- had scared it? |
32926 | What?" |
32926 | When on earth did you get here? |
32926 | When you have done your round on the Continent, why not come back here and make this your home? |
32926 | Whence the languor that seemed to attend his waking hours, the drowsy disinclination to move? |
32926 | Whence, then, this rock-- this rock which somehow seemed to weigh upon him like a tombstone? |
32926 | Where am I, did you say?" |
32926 | Where are you now? |
32926 | Where can he be?" |
32926 | Where have we met before?" |
32926 | Where indeed? |
32926 | Where is he? |
32926 | Where is it?" |
32926 | Where was Mafuta? |
32926 | Where was he, and when was he coming to see her? |
32926 | Where were all the cattle? |
32926 | Where were all the people? |
32926 | Where would she find shelter, let alone food? |
32926 | Where you from?" |
32926 | Which corner did you leave it in?" |
32926 | Whither could she turn-- whither fly? |
32926 | Who could the man be? |
32926 | Who made me so? |
32926 | Who says so?" |
32926 | Who was this strange being? |
32926 | Who were they, he asked, and where going? |
32926 | Who''ve got guns?" |
32926 | Whose jeers were the loudest? |
32926 | Whose mockeries the most biting? |
32926 | Why did n''t you like to ask me, Miss Commerell? |
32926 | Why had he induced either of them to come near such a hateful country? |
32926 | Why had he not been the one to end his hopes and fears then in that swift and easy manner? |
32926 | Why had_ he_ been spared? |
32926 | Why have I told you? |
32926 | Why is it that I do not feel it more, think of it more? |
32926 | Why not return? |
32926 | Why not? |
32926 | Why not? |
32926 | Why not?" |
32926 | Why should I?" |
32926 | Why should he wreck his life''s happiness upon any rock of false pride? |
32926 | Why should you think so?" |
32926 | Why then had he fled? |
32926 | Why were they all under arms in this way? |
32926 | Why, and with what object to serve, had the Umlimo spared and tended him? |
32926 | Why, indeed, should any false pride stand in the way of his acceptance of it? |
32926 | Why?" |
32926 | Will that satisfy you?" |
32926 | Will the land never again yield corn?" |
32926 | Would he look surprised and pleased? |
32926 | Would he never return? |
32926 | Would it discover her presence? |
32926 | Would it fly at her? |
32926 | Would it not be better to wait until he had brought Nidia safely and triumphantly through the multifold perils which still overhung their way? |
32926 | Would n''t that make a scene-- eh?" |
32926 | Would she feel more than a transient sorrow or regret when she heard of his end? |
32926 | Would that grave, firm face relax as he greeted her, the straight glance of the grey eyes soften ever so little as it met hers? |
32926 | Would they never have finished their_ indaba_? |
32926 | Would you have come to see me?" |
32926 | Yes? |
32926 | Yet stay-- what is this? |

32926 | Yet, was it merely a sense of the external contrast which was afflicting him? |
32926 | Yet, was it too late? |

32926 | where would I have been?" |
32926 | why did I ever allow you to leave me, my own, my true chivalrous love?" |
32926 | would they never pass? |
