  7  3,1|     added, - ~"At least people say so, Monseigneur. I cannot
  8  3,1|      so, Monseigneur. I cannot say anything about it myself,

 11  3,2|        withdraw." ~"You do not say so!" replied John. "Indeed,
 12  3,2|       us hear what you have to say, my child. Why should not
 13  4,1|   flown." ~"What does this man say?" asked his Highness, growing
 14  4,1|     the honest fellow. ~"Well, say what you have to say!" urged
 15  4,1|     Well, say what you have to say!" urged the Grand Pensionary. ~"

 20  6,2|     the discovery (we dare not say the manufacture) of a large
 21  6,2|    telescope. ~For, strange to say, the love and interest of
 22  7,2|    tulip-fanciers - that is to say, all the intelligent people
 23  7,2|         oh, what glory! I must say, I would then rather be

 25  8,1|       likely he needed only to say one word, and the godson
 26  8,1|        rate that's what people say; and, besides, I have seen
 27  8,1|      Hague, and if what people say is true, it won't do him
 28  8,1|      good." ~"And what do they say?" Boxtel asked. ~ ~
 29  8,2|            2~"Faith, sir, they say - but it is not quite sure -
 30  9,1|     which it is unnecessary to say more, as the reader is already

 34 11,3|    flower next May, that is to say, in seven months; and, when
 35 11,3|    Rosa Barlaensis, that is to say, that its name should combine
 36 11,3|     confiscated; I bequeath, I say, to Rosa Gryphus three bulbs,

 42 13,1|      upon: - ~Rosa, that is to say, love; ~William of Orange,
 43 13,1|  William of Orange, that is to say, clemency. ~But for Rosa
 44 14,1|  prison for life, - that is to say, to something like twenty-two
 45 15,1|   never have done so." ~"Don't say so," replied Cornelius; "
 46 15,1|     also. But, for all that, I say his Highness has made a
 47 15,1|       s very shocking what you say now, Master Gryphus," cried
 48 15,2|  stupefied with his gin. Don't say anything about it, because,

 53 17,1|        are right; well, I will say then, this fear?" ~"I have
 54 17,1|        contrary, - I heard him say to my father only yesterday
 55 17,1|        ways. She would at once say to your father, or to you, '
 56 17,2|     the jailer. ~"Take care, I say, you will crush it, Master
 57 18,1|        did that poor young man say?' ~"I did not know what
 58 18,1|   chiming in, - ~"'What did he say? Didn't he fume and fret?' ~"
 59 18,1| replied." ~"And what did Jacob say or do at these words?" asked
 60 18,1|      At these words, if I must say it, his eyes seemed to flash
 61 18,2|      cried Cornelius. "Did you say that I have three?" ~"The
 62 18,2|    with my tulip!" ~"You don't say so! And yet it is very possible,"

 82 24,1|     thief!" ~"Alas! what can I say about it?" ~"But I say that
 83 24,1|       I say about it?" ~"But I say that it is no one else but

 93 26,2|        Finish what you have to say," said William. ~"I confess
 94 27,1|      do you mean?" ~"I mean to say that at Loewestein the man

 98 27,1|         I have nothing more to say," Isaac continued. "Your

100 27,2|        that's what you want to say, is it not?" ~"What I wish
101 27,2|      it not?" ~"What I wish to say, your Highness, is that

104 28,2|           Our soul, that is to say, our perfume." ~Gryphus
105 28,2|      Indeed, I am one. I don't say it before all the world,
106 29,1|        who in 1668, that is to say, five years before, had
107 29,1| bandaged his eyes, and let him say his prayers. ~Hereupon he
