a0201 He cried, and swung the club wildly
a0202 She turned, fearing that Jacques might see what was in her face
a0203 They were following the shore of a lake
a0204 The wolf-dog thrust his gaunt muzzle toward him
a0205 From now on we're pals
a0206 He says he bought him of Jacques Le Beau
a0207 How much was it
a0208 Youth had come back to her, freed from the yoke of oppression
a0209 It was not a large lake, and almost round
a0210 Its diameter was not more than two hundred yards
a0211 It drowned all sound that brute agony and death may have made
a0212 Fresh cases, still able to walk, they clustered about the spokesman
a0213 Between him and the beach was the cane-grass fence of the compound
a0214 Besides, he was paid one case of tobacco per head
a0215 They die out of spite
a0216 The other felt a sudden wave of irritation rush through him
a0217 Oppressive as the heat had been, it was now even more oppressive
a0218 The ringing of the big bell aroused him
a0219 At first he puzzled over something untoward he was sure had happened
a0220 A dead man is of no use on a plantation
a0221 I don't know why you're here at all
a0222 What part of the United States is your home
a0223 My, I'm almost homesick for it already
a0224 She nodded, and her eyes grew soft and moist
a0225 I was brought up the way most girls in Hawaii are brought up
a0226 That came before my A B C's
a0227 It was the same way with our revolvers and rifles
a0228 But it contributed to the smash
a0229 The last one I knew was an overseer
a0230 Do you know any good land around here
a0231 The Resident Commissioner is away in Australia
a0232 I cannot follow you, she said
a0233 I never allow what can't be changed to annoy me
a0234 Why, the average review is more nauseating than cod liver oil
a0235 His voice was passionately rebellious
a0236 Don't you see I hate you
a0237 So Hughie and I did the managing ourselves
a0238 It happened to him at the Gallina Society in Oakland one afternoon
a0239 He cried in such genuine dismay that she broke into hearty laughter
a0240 Wash your hands of me
