i shan't trouble you about my train of thoughts or fancies but i began to feel very like a gentleman in a ghost story watching experimentally in a haunted chamber

i did not even take the precaution of smoking up the chimney

i boldly lighted my cheroot


a cold bright moon was shining with clear sharp lights and shadows

the sombre old trees like gigantic hearse plumes black and awful

somehow i had grown nervous


a little bit of plaster tumbled down the chimney and startled me confoundedly

at the conclusion of the banquet which was served at five o'clock the king entered his cabinet where his tailors were awaiting him for the purpose of trying on the celebrated costume representing spring which was the result of so much imagination and had cost so many efforts of thought to the designers and ornament workers of the court

ah very well


let him come in then said the king and as if colbert had been listening at the door for the purpose of keeping himself au courant with the conversation he entered as soon as the king had pronounced his name to the two courtiers

what do you mean inquired louis


he has given them with too much grace not to have others still to give if they are required which is the case at the present moment

it is necessary therefore that he should comply the king frowned

does your majesty then no longer believe the disloyal attempt

your majesty's plan then in this affair is


you will take them from my private treasure


the news circulated with the rapidity of lightning during its progress it kindled every variety of coquetry desire and wild ambition

the king had completed his toilette by nine o'clock he appeared in an open carriage decorated with branches of trees and flowers

the queens had taken their seats upon a magnificent dias or platform erected upon the borders of the lake in a theater of wonderful elegance of construction

suddenly for the purpose of restoring peace and order spring accompanied by his whole court made his appearance

the seasons allies of spring followed him closely to form a quadrille which after many words of more or less flattering import was the commencement of the dance

his legs the best shaped at court were displayed to great advantage in flesh colored silken hose of silk so fine and so transparent that it seemed almost like flesh itself

there was something in his carriage which resembled the buoyant movements of an immortal and he did not dance so much as seem to soar along

yes it is suppressed

sire he said your majesty's most devoted servant approaches to perform a service on this occasion with similar zeal that he has already shown on the field of battle

the king seemed only pleased with every one present

monsieur was the only one who did not understand anything about the matter

the ballet began the effect was more than beautiful

ðə bæleɪ bɪgæn ðə ɪfɛkt wɑːz mɔr ðæn bjuːtəfəl


when the music by its bursts of melody carried away these illustrious dancers when the simple untutored pantomime of that period only the more natural on account of the very indifferent acting of the august actors had reached its culminating point of triumph the theater shook with tumultuous applause

wɛn ðə mjuːzɪk baɪ ɪts bɝːsts ʌv mɛlədi kæriːd əweɪ ðiːz ɪlʌstriːəs dænsɝz wɛn ðə sɪmpəl əntuːtɔɝd pæntəmaɪm ʌv ðæt pɪriːəd oʊnli ðə mɔr nætʃɝəl ɑːn əkaʊnt ʌv ðə vɛri ɪndɪfrənt æktɪŋ ʌv ðə ɑːgəst æktɝz hæd riːtʃt ɪts kʌlməneɪtɪŋ pɔɪnt ʌv traɪəmf ðə θiːeɪtɝ ʃʊk wɪð tuːmʌltʃuːəs əplɔz


disdainful of a success of which madame showed no acknowledgement he thought of nothing but boldly regaining the marked preference of the princess

by degrees all his happiness all his brilliancy subsided into regret and uneasiness so that his limbs lost their power his arms hung heavily by his sides and his head drooped as though he was stupefied

the king who had from this moment become in reality the principal dancer in the quadrille cast a look upon his vanquished rival

every one could observe his agitation and prostration a prostration which was indeed the more remarkable since people were not accustomed to see him with his arms hanging listlessly by his side his head bewildered and his eyes with all their bright intelligence bedimmed

upon this madame deigned to turn her eyes languishingly towards the comte observing

do you think so she replied with indifference

she then rose humming the air to which she was presently going to dance

the arrow pierced his heart and wounded him mortally

ðə æroʊ pɪrst hɪz hɑːrt ənd wuːndɪd hɪm mɔrtəli


a quarter of an hour afterwards he returned to the theater but it will be readily believed that it was only a powerful effort of reason over his great excitement that enabled him to go back or perhaps for love is thus strangely constituted he found it impossible even to remain much longer separated from the presence of one who had broken his heart

gold is the most common metal in the land of oz and is used for many purposes because it is soft and pliable

no i forgot all about the brains exclaimed the woman

noʊ aɪ fɝgɑːt ɔl əbaʊt ðə breɪnz ɪkskleɪmd ðə wʊmən


well that may be true agreed margolotte but on the contrary a servant with too much brains is sure to become independent and high and mighty and feel above her work

she poured into the dish a quantity from each of these bottles

she ran to her husband's side at once and helped him lift the four kettles from the fire

their contents had all boiled away leaving in the bottom of each kettle a few grains of fine white powder

very carefully the magician removed this powder placing it all together in a golden dish where he mixed it with a golden spoon

no one saw him do this for all were looking at the powder of life but soon the woman remembered what she had been doing and came back to the cupboard

ojo became a bit uneasy at this for he had already put quite a lot of the cleverness powder in the dish but he dared not interfere and so he comforted himself with the thought that one cannot have too much cleverness

he selected a small gold bottle with a pepper box top so that the powder might be sprinkled on any object through the small holes

the wizard of oz who used to be a humbug and knew no magic at all has been taking lessons of glinda and i'm told he is getting to be a pretty good wizard but he is merely the assistant of the great sorceress

when i found it i said to myself that it would do nicely for my servant girl for when she was brought to life she would not be proud nor haughty as the glass cat is for such a dreadful mixture of colors would discourage her from trying to be as dignified as the blue munchkins are

margaret bolton almost lost for a moment her habitual placidity

ruth sat quite still for a time with face intent and flushed it was out now

ruːθ sæt kwaɪt stɪl fɔr ə taɪm wɪð feɪs ɪntɛnt ənd flʌʃt ɪt wɑːz aʊt naʊ


the sight seers returned in high spirits from the city

ruth asked the enthusiasts if they would like to live in such a sounding mausoleum with its great halls and echoing rooms and no comfortable place in it for the accommodation of any body

and then there was broad street


there certainly was no end to it and even ruth was philadelphian enough to believe that a street ought not to have any end or architectural point upon which the weary eye could rest

but neither saint girard nor broad street neither wonders of the mint nor the glories of the hall where the ghosts of our fathers sit always signing the declaration impressed the visitors so much as the splendors of the chestnut street windows and the bargains on eighth street

it's such a crush at the yearly meeting at arch street and then there's the row of sleek looking young men who line the curbstone and stare at us as we come out

he doesn't say exactly what it is said ruth a little dubiously but it's something about land and railroads and thee knows father that fortunes are made nobody knows exactly how in a new country

vast importance and influence of this mental furnishing

without going to any such extreme as this we can easily see on reflection how vast an influence on the ideas and conceptions as well as on the principles of action in mature years must be exerted by the nature and character of the images which the period of infancy and childhood impresses upon the mind

the pain produced by an act of hasty and angry violence to which a father subjects his son may soon pass away but the memory of it does not pass away with the pain

but anders cared nothing about that


he made a bow so deep that his back came near breaking and he was dumbfounded i can tell you when he saw it was nobody but anders

he was such a big boy that he wore high boots and carried a jack knife

now this knife was a splendid one though half the blade was gone and the handle was a little cracked and anders knew that one is almost a man as soon as one has a jack knife

yes why not thought anders


seeing that i am so fine i may as well go and visit the king

i am going to the court ball answered anders


and she took anders hand and walked with him up the broad marble stairs where soldiers were posted at every third step and through the magnificent halls where courtiers in silk and velvet stood bowing wherever he went

at the farther end of the largest hall a table was set with golden cups and golden plates in long rows

the princess certainly was beautiful and he would have dearly liked to be kissed by her but the cap which his mother had made he would not give up on any condition

he only shook his head

with one jump anders got out of his chair

he darted like an arrow through all the halls down all the stairs and across the yard

hiː dɑːrtɪd laɪk æn æroʊ θruː ɔl ðə hɔlz daʊn ɔl ðə stɛrz ənd əkrɔs ðə jɑːrd


he still held on to it with both hands as he rushed into his mother's cottage

and all his brothers and sisters stood round and listened with their mouths open

ənd ɔl hɪz brʌðɝz ənd sɪstɝz stʊd raʊnd ənd lɪsənd wɪð ðɛr maʊðz oʊpən


but when his big brother heard that he had refused to give his cap for a king's golden crown he said that anders was a stupid

anders face grew red


but his mother hugged him close


no my little son she said


if you dressed in silk and gold from top to toe you could not look any nicer than in your little red cap

now delia contrived to obtain a great influence and ascendency over the minds of the children by means of these dolls

for instance one day the children had been playing upon the piazza with blocks and other playthings and finally had gone into the house leaving all the things on the floor of the piazza instead of putting them away in their places as they ought to have done

fɔr ɪnstəns wʌn deɪ ðə tʃɪldrən hæd bɪn pleɪɪŋ əpɑːn ðə piːæzə wɪð blɑːks ənd ʌðɝ pleɪθɪŋz ənd faɪnəli hæd gɔn ɪntuː ðə haʊs liːvɪŋ ɔl ðə θɪŋz ɑːn ðə flɔr ʌv ðə piːæzə ɪnstɛd ʌv pʌtɪŋ ðɛm əweɪ ɪn ðɛr pleɪsəz æz ðeɪ ɔt tuː hæv dʌn


they were now playing with their dolls in the parlor

ðeɪ wɝː naʊ pleɪɪŋ wɪð ðɛr dɑːlz ɪn ðə pɑːrlɝ


delia came to the parlor and with an air of great mystery beckoned the children aside and said to them in a whisper leave andella and rosalie here and don't say a word to them

so saying she led the way on tiptoe followed by the children out of the room and round by a circuitous route to the piazza there

said she pointing to the playthings see

and this method of treating the case was much more effectual in making them disposed to avoid committing a similar fault another time than any direct rebukes or expressions of displeasure addressed personally to them would have been

the three modes of management


to suppose that the object of this work is to aid in effecting such a substitution as that is entirely to mistake its nature and design

by reason and affection


as the chaise drives away mary stands bewildered and perplexed on the door step her mind in a tumult of excitement in which hatred of the doctor distrust and suspicion of her mother disappointment vexation and ill humor surge and swell among those delicate organizations on which the structure and development of the soul so closely depend doing perhaps an irreparable injury

the mother as soon as the chaise is so far turned that mary can no longer watch the expression of her countenance goes away from the door with a smile of complacency and satisfaction upon her face at the ingenuity and success of her little artifice

soʊ juː wɪl biː ə gʊd gɝːl aɪ noʊ ənd nɑːt meɪk ɛni trʌbəl bʌt wɪl steɪ æt hoʊm kəntɛntədli woʊnt juː


the mother in managing the case in this way relies partly on convincing the reason of the child and partly on an appeal to her affection

if you should not be a good girl but should show signs of making us any trouble i shall have to send you out somewhere to the back part of the house until we are gone

but this last supposition is almost always unnecessary for if mary has been habitually managed on this principle she will not make any trouble

it is indeed true that the importance of tact and skill in the training of the young and of cultivating their reason and securing their affection can not be overrated

i will endeavour in my statement to avoid such terms as would serve to limit the events to any particular place or give a clue as to the people concerned

i had always known him to be restless in his manner but on this particular occasion he was in such a state of uncontrollable agitation that it was clear something very unusual had occurred

aɪ hæd ɔlweɪz noʊn hɪm tuː biː rɛstləs ɪn hɪz mænɝ bʌt ɑːn ðɪs pɝtɪkjəlɝ əkeɪʒən hiː wɑːz ɪn sʌtʃ ə steɪt ʌv ənkəntroʊləbəl ædʒəteɪʃən ðæt ɪt wɑːz klɪr sʌmθɪŋ vɛri ənjuːʒuːəl hæd əkɝːd


my friend's temper had not improved since he had been deprived of the congenial surroundings of baker street

without his scrapbooks his chemicals and his homely untidiness he was an uncomfortable man

wɪθaʊt hɪz skræpbʊks hɪz kɛmɪkəlz ənd hɪz hoʊmli əntɪdiːnɪs hiː wɑːz æn ənkʌmfɝtəbəl mæn


i had to read it over carefully as the text must be absolutely correct

aɪ hæd tuː rɛd ɪt oʊvɝ kɛrfəli æz ðə tɛkst mʌst biː æbsəluːtli kɝɛkt


i was absent rather more than an hour

aɪ wɑːz æbsənt ræðɝ mɔr ðæn æn aʊɝ


the only duplicate which existed so far as i knew was that which belonged to my servant bannister a man who has looked after my room for ten years and whose honesty is absolutely above suspicion

the moment i looked at my table i was aware that someone had rummaged among my papers

ðə moʊmənt aɪ lʊkt æt maɪ teɪbəl aɪ wɑːz əwɛr ðæt sʌmwən hæd rʌmɪdʒd əmʌŋ maɪ peɪpɝz


the proof was in three long slips i had left them all together

ðə pruːf wɑːz ɪn θriː lɔŋ slɪps aɪ hæd lɛft ðɛm ɔl təgɛðɝ


the alternative was that someone passing had observed the key in the door had known that i was out and had entered to look at the papers

i gave him a little brandy and left him collapsed in a chair while i made a most careful examination of the room

a broken tip of lead was lying there also

ə broʊkən tɪp ʌv lɛd wɑːz laɪɪŋ ðɛr ɔlsoʊ


not only this but on the table i found a small ball of black dough or clay with specks of something which looks like sawdust in it

nɑːt oʊnli ðɪs bʌt ɑːn ðə teɪbəl aɪ faʊnd ə smɔl bɔl ʌv blæk doʊ ɔr kleɪ wɪð spɛks ʌv sʌmθɪŋ wɪtʃ lʊks laɪk sɔdəst ɪn ɪt


above all things i desire to settle the matter quietly and discreetly

əbʌv ɔl θɪŋz aɪ dɪzaɪɝ tuː sɛtəl ðə mætɝ kwaɪətli ənd dɪskriːtli


to the best of my belief they were rolled up

tuː ðə bɛst ʌv maɪ bɪliːf ðeɪ wɝː roʊld ʌp


did anyone know that these proofs would be there no one save the printer

dɪd ɛniːwən noʊ ðæt ðiːz pruːfs wʊd biː ðɛr noʊ wʌn seɪv ðə prɪntɝ


i was in such a hurry to come to you you left your door open

aɪ wɑːz ɪn sʌtʃ ə hɝːi tuː kʌm tuː juː juː lɛft jɔr dɔr oʊpən


so it seems to me


now mister soames at your disposal


above were three students one on each story

əbʌv wɝː θriː stuːdənts wʌn ɑːn iːtʃ stɔri


then he approached it and standing on tiptoe with his neck craned he looked into the room

ðɛn hiː əproʊtʃt ɪt ənd stændɪŋ ɑːn tɪptoʊ wɪð hɪz nɛk kreɪnd hiː lʊkt ɪntuː ðə ruːm


there is no opening except the one pane said our learned guide

ðɛr ɪz noʊ oʊpənɪŋ ɪksɛpt ðə wʌn peɪn sɛd aʊɝ lɝːnd gaɪd


i am afraid there are no signs here said he

aɪ æm əfreɪd ðɛr ɑːr noʊ saɪnz hiːr sɛd hiː


one could hardly hope for any upon so dry a day

wʌn kʊd hɑːrdli hoʊp fɔr ɛni əpɑːn soʊ draɪ ə deɪ


you left him in a chair you say which chair by the window there

juː lɛft hɪm ɪn ə tʃɛr juː seɪ wɪtʃ tʃɛr baɪ ðə wɪndoʊ ðɛr


the man entered and took the papers sheet by sheet from the central table

ðə mæn ɛntɝd ənd tʊk ðə peɪpɝz ʃiːt baɪ ʃiːt frʌm ðə sɛntrəl teɪbəl


as a matter of fact he could not said soames for i entered by the side door

æz ə mætɝ ʌv fækt hiː kʊd nɑːt sɛd soʊmz fɔr aɪ ɛntɝd baɪ ðə saɪd dɔr


how long would it take him to do that using every possible contraction a quarter of an hour not less

haʊ lɔŋ wʊd ɪt teɪk hɪm tuː duː ðæt juːzɪŋ ɛvɝi pɑːsəbəl kəntrækʃən ə kwɔrtɝ ʌv æn aʊɝ nɑːt lɛs


then he tossed it down and seized the next


he was in the midst of that when your return caused him to make a very hurried retreat very hurried since he had not time to replace the papers which would tell you that he had been there

hiː wɑːz ɪn ðə mɪdst ʌv ðæt wɛn jɔr rɪtɝːn kɑːzd hɪm tuː meɪk ə vɛri hɝːiːd riːtriːt vɛri hɝːiːd sɪns hiː hæd nɑːt taɪm tuː riːpleɪs ðə peɪpɝz wɪtʃ wʊd tɛl juː ðæt hiː hæd bɪn ðɛr


mister soames was somewhat overwhelmed by this flood of information

mɪstɝ soʊmz wɑːz sʌmwʌt oʊvɝwɛlmd baɪ ðɪs flʌd ʌv ɪnfɔrmeɪʃən


holmes held out a small chip with the letters n n and a space of clear wood after them you see

hoʊmz hɛld aʊt ə smɔl tʃɪp wɪð ðə lɛtɝz ɛn ɛn ənd ə speɪs ʌv klɪr wʊd æftɝ ðɛm juː siː


watson i have always done you an injustice there are others

wɑːtsən aɪ hæv ɔlweɪz dʌn juː æn ɪndʒʌstɪs ðɛr ɑːr ʌðɝz


i was hoping that if the paper on which he wrote was thin some trace of it might come through upon this polished surface no i see nothing

as holmes drew the curtain i was aware from some little rigidity and alertness of his attitude that he was prepared for an emergency

holmes turned away and stooped suddenly to the floor halloa what's this

hoʊmz tɝːnd əweɪ ənd stuːpt sʌdənli tuː ðə flɔr hæloʊə wəts ðɪs


holmes held it out on his open palm in the glare of the electric light
