  4     I,       I|         distinguished-looking young man. He apologised for the guard'
  5     I,       I|             I said. "I knew a young man who lost his speech in the
  6     I,       I|          sea would rise and destroy man and his pigmy works at one

  8     I,      II|          the house again, and saw a man running up and down on the
  9     I,      II|   experiment of descending. A young man, one of those few who had

 11     I,      II|           Quick! quick!" gasped the man. "Take my necktie and fasten
 12     I,     III|          francs."~ ~"Yes," said the man; "but who will take care
 13     I,     III|        distance, not very far." The man pocketed his money and turned,
 14     I,     III|         crook and horn, he gave the man his red shawl to use as
 15     I,     III|            for the sake of saving a man's life from such a horrid

 17     I,      IV|            was impossible! Why, the man was capable of offering
 18     I,      IV|      interest I felt was due to the man himself, and, most of all,
 19     I,      IV|           Hungary; and yet, if that man had ever been in my country,
 20     I,      IV|           pity to see the grand old man's name misused by the extreme
 21     I,       V|            childlike that no living man would have supposed her
 22     I,       V|             show her bare ears to a man! Oh! oh! Alice!"~ ~At last
 23     I,       V|             refined, generous young man; and Tom, the negro, my
 24     I,      VI|         know you! You were the dead man's candidate."~ ~"Yes, you
 25     I,      VI|          you have hit it; I was the man."~ ~Well, this was indeed
 26     I,      VI|            loving recollection this man had of his home and the

 29     I,     VII|        never condescend to meet the man on that ground. If his own

 31     I,     VII|           as they needed. The dying man stared vacantly into their
 32     I,     VII|      earlier, for how could a dying man leave his bed to vote? But
 33     I,     VII|           were collected. The dying man had been made to understand
 34     I,     VII|            announced that "the poor man was troubled in his conscience,
 35     I,     VII|           party, and since the dead man could not be made to repeat
 36     I,     VII|             to prove that the dying man had not said, "Dumány Nelly,"
 37     I,     VII|          wife and children that the man had been a devout and religious
 38     I,     VII|         however, was the other dead man's vote - that of Tóth János,
 39     I,     VII|           by providing for the dead man's family, and sending them
 40     I,     VII|            to be a true red-feather man, and who had been more than
 41     I,     VII|       became to be called "the dead man's representative," and how
 42     I,     VII|         which my outward and inward man, my entire existence, had
 43     I,    VIII|             sick nurse instead of a man! I have a notion to shoot
 44     I,    VIII|         sharp as those of any young man, and he did his reading

 47     I,    VIII|         have looked so, for the old man broke into a merry laugh,
 48     I,    VIII|         intention, but I am not the man you want."~ ~"Yes, you are,
 49     I,      IX|             boy," continued the old man, fondly taking my hand and
 50     I,      IX|             into heaven."~ ~The old man became quite excited over
 51     I,      IX|       mental death to me.~ ~The old man smiled. "You talk so because
 52     I,      IX|             infatuated with the old man and his store of curiosities.
 53     I,      IX|          world, and a poor lone old man is rather a temptation to
 54     I,      IX|             costs just as much as a man's. He will eat up a fortune
 55     I,      IX|     witchcraft was pent, and that a man might grow to give his heart
 56     I,      IX|          see, my boy," said the old man again, "I have not lied
 57     I,      IX|             not think. I am not the man to speculate on another
 58     I,      IX|             to speculate on another man's death, and build my future
 59     I,      IX|       future on a grave."~ ~The old man looked curiously at me;
 60     I,      IX|          see you are a truly honest man and no hypocrite. I won'
 61     I,      IX|           you."~ ~With that the old man showed me out into the garden,

 63     I,       X|             fingers at the expelled man, who, with bent head, made
 64     I,       X|          undertone. As the banished man passed out, I sat down on
 65     I,       X|         chair," said a well-meaning man at my elbow; but I smiled
 66     I,       X|         distinguished-looking young man. He fairly embraced me,
 67     I,       X|              and said, "You are the man we wanted! Let me welcome
 68     I,      XI|          the Siamese twins. And the man whom he thought worth catching
 69     I,      XI|          must have been a very rich man, for I never knew him in

 71     I,     XII|           believes that you are the man to represent these principles,
 72     I,     XII|       excellent orator. You are the man we want, and there is an

 77     I,     XII|         snuffed-out wretch - a dead man, indeed!~ ~There is something

 79     I,     XII|         shame. A flouted, ridiculed man cannot be a doctor. A doctor
 80     I,     XII|          course so far as my inward man was concerned. In outward

 83    II,      II|             proverb is right, and a man has to be but one shade
 84    II,      II|          and, after the creation of man, the tempter and seducer."~ ~"
 85    II,      II|        Devil's corruption is due to man kind," said Siegfried, ironically.~ ~"
 86    II,      II|        passions and inclinations in man are really created by that

 89    II,     III|             monkeys, and not men. A man must have the courage to

102    II,     VII|              alas! I was not such a man - at any rate, no longer.
