  3 III    |      having already occurred, and see nothing but the present
  4 III    |         said he, at last. “Let us see, Samuel. Then you have discovered

  9 VI     |            consequently, he could see no use in complaining or
 10 VI     |         give it up.”~“Well, we’ll see about that.”~“Don’t flatter
 11 VIII   |      Africa!”~“But then you could see nothing, make no geographical
 12 VIII   |       forty miles per hour.”~“You see, then, that with such speed

 15 IX     |       along to Jupiter and you’ll see. But they have to look out

 18 XII    |           must they think as they see us sailing in the air? I’
 19 XII    |       away from them as possible. See! the country is already
 20 XII    |         it seems to me that I can see some high land on this side.”~“
 21 XII    |            replied Dr. Ferguson. “See, there’s one with a trunk
 22 XII    |         across Africa. We want to see it.”~“Up to this time we
 23 XII    |        Let us wait, Joe! we shall see by-and-by.”~About half-past
 24 XIV    |         Why, certainly I do! Just see what a fine hide it is!”~“
 25 XIV    |       exclaimed Joe.~“What do you see?”~“Down there! look! a crowd
 26 XIV    |         coolness, Joe, and let us see how we stand. We hold the
 27 XIV    |       came with us?”~“I’d like to see anybody prevent my coming!”~

 31 XVI    |        and barren bosom. You next see them precipitating themselves
 32 XVI    |      exhaustion. Thus, we already see the millions rushing to

 34 XVI    |         we have been permitted to see it.”~The sun, darting his

 36 XVI    |      vermin!—Doctor! Mr. Kennedy! see those packs of wild animals
 37 XVI    |        companions; but they could see his countenance calm as
 38 XVII   |        remarked Kennedy; “I don’t see one tree that we could approach,
 39 XVIII  |          To-day or never we shall see the Nile! Look, my friends,
 40 XVIII  |        its rise.”~“Well, we shall see!” said Kennedy.~About nine
 41 XVIII  |              Quickly, then, for I see some of the natives getting
 42 XIX    |          be poets.”~“We can still see cataracts,” said Joe.~“Those
 43 XIX    |          down yonder, below us, I see the top of a mountain,”
 44 XIX    |    immense central lake. We shall see whether there is any truth
 45 XIX    |      appearance of truth; and you see that they were right about
 46 XIX    |            with comic solemnity.~“See that!” said Kennedy.~“Yes,
 47 XIX    |         very dangerous, and I can see nothing to prevent us reaching
 48 XX     |           an hour. Lean over, and see how the country is gliding
 49 XX     |    beneath us!” said the doctor.~“See! that forest looks as though
 50 XXI    |          to every thing. Joe will see to throwing out the ballast,
 51 XXIII  |         and it was distressing to see his weakened limbs bend
 52 XXIII  |          Ah! master, I give up; I see that you are right, and

 57 XXV    |            put in Joe; “I think I see some banks of clouds in
 58 XXV    |          our faces!”~“Well, we’ll see, Dick, we’ll see!”~“But
 59 XXV    |            we’ll see, Dick, we’ll see!”~“But this is Friday, master,
 60 XXV    |           Look, look! doctor!”~“I see it!” said the doctor, very
 61 XXV    |           in other words, that we see ourselves in the second
 62 XXV    |        your arms, and then you’ll see.”~Joe obeyed, and all his
 63 XXV    |          out ale equal to that!”~“See the advantage of being put
 64 XXVI   |         limitless calm, and could see no reason why the thing
 65 XXVII  |       What is your plan?”~“You’ll see.”~And Joe, taking off his
 66 XXVIII |           no one likely to go and see! One day, in a parlor at
 67 XIX    |        will not be long before we see them,” said Ferguson, “at
 68 XIX    |          degrees farther north to see them.”~“What a pity!”~“And
 69 XIX    |         on through the story. You see that the whole thing is

 76 XXXII  |           what is it?”~“Don’t you see that flock of big birds
 77 XXXII  |        snatching his spyglass.~“I see them,” replied Kennedy; “
 78 XXXII  |           but I would much rather see those birds at a distance
 79 XXXII  |        Perhaps they don’t like to see anybody poaching in their
 80 XXXIII |      Forth at Edinburgh. We shall see him again—but how and where
 81 XXXIII |           us, in the first place, see where we are. But, above
 82 XXXIII |             Happily, it will not. See, Dick! it is carrying us
 83 XXXIII |           day. Joe cannot fail to see us, and his eyes will be
 84 XXXIII |           their captives, he will see us, and comprehend the object
 85 XXXIII |          he had no opportunity to see a single specimen of those
 86 XXXIII |     undisguised affright.~“We can see nothing,” said Kennedy,
 87 XXXIII |       expected at every moment to see Joe spring up out of some

 91 XXXV   |         just as if I was never to see him again. After all, if
 92 XXXV   |         not make his friends even see him!~Tears came to his eyes,
 93 XXXVI  |        not greatly mistaken I can see, off yonder in the distance,
 94 XXXVI  |           shall be near enough to see them and know what they
 95 XXXVI  |      about fifty in number. I can see their bournouses puffed
 96 XXXVI  |          turning pale.~“He cannot see us in his flight!”~“He will
 97 XXXVI  |          in his flight!”~“He will see us, though!” said the doctor,
 98 XXXVI  |          which the doctor did not see fit to refuse, as the faithful
 99 XXXVII |         things in that style.”~“I see that his tumble hasn’t changed
100 XXXVII |        fat goose to a turn, for I see that Mr. Kennedy has not
101 XXXVII |        right, Joe!”~“Well, let us see then how this African game

117 XL     |        could, even at a distance, see the trees and the bushes
118 XL     |          and a thousand more will see us arrive on the other.”~“
119 XLI    |           suggested Kennedy, “and see what can be done with the
120 XLI    |       said Kennedy, “and we shall see!”~“The poor Victoria!” sighed
121 XLI    |            I am afraid not, Dick. See what an immense space they
122 XLI    |     panted Joe. “But it’s hard to see ourselves dropping off this
123 XLI    |            I’d feel very badly to see you deprived of it.”~Kennedy
124 XLI    |     dangled below the balloon.~“I see large forests ahead of us,”
125 XLII   |         up.”~“But I don’t exactly see how we can do that?” replied
126 XLII   |         that be? I should like to see it,” said Kennedy, incredulously.~“

128 XLIII  |            after a long silence.~“See what’s gained by doing things
129 XLIII  |           the three friends could see some thirty mounted men
130 XLIII  |           and that’s something.”~“See,” said Ferguson, “those
