Not in A Sentence

    1

    A house without children is not a home.

    2

    A woman your age ought to be looking for a husband – or already married, not chasing all over creation in pants, trying to act like a man.

    3

    Adrienne shook her head, not trusting her voice.

    4

    After reading my arguments, you may or may not believe the future I describe is inevitable, as I say it is.

    5

    Alex defies father now, but he will not win.

    6

    Alex said it might not have made any difference, and reminded her that she needed to think positive.

    7

    Alex would never cheat - not on someone he respected and admired more than anyone he knew.

    8

    All eyes were on him, but he appeared not to notice.

    9

    Although she had said the words "I love you," several times, he had not uttered them.

    10

    Although the issue was not discussed, it was far from out of her mind.

    11

    Am I not allowed visitors?

    12

    An armadillo stared at them from a rocky ledge as they passed, and a doe and her fawn darted across the trail not more than a hundred yards ahead, disappearing into the brush.

    13

    And he won't run - not even if you flog him.

    14

    And now it was gone, not even a trace lingering as he spoke.

    15

    And while it may not be perfect, life will be profoundly better for everyone on the planet.

    16

    And yet, this latest contention was about inheritance, not love.

    17

    Any decision not to become involved with him at this point was posthumous.

    18

    Anything else she divulged should go to Howard, not Connie.

    19

    Anyway, I was doing my best not to let things get out of control.

    20

    Anyway, I'm not pretty.

    21

    Anyway, if it's company you want, why not take Julia or Rachel?

    22

    Anyway, maybe he decided not to come back.

    23

    Anyway, she's my mother, not a sitter.

    24

    Apparently she found Mr. Cade not only attractive, but also irresistible.

    25

    Are you trying to say that you're not happy with your success?

    26

    As if Destiny had not been through enough already, she was forced to stay inside the tent.

    27

    As she peered through the soft gray light not a house of any sort was visible near the station, nor was any person in sight; but after a while the child discovered a horse and buggy standing near a group of trees a short distance away.

    28

    At the moment, it was her honor at stake, not Cade's.

    29

    Avoiding his eyes as she walked past him, she tried not to limp.

    30

    Bandages are for humans, not animals - not for things like this, anyway.

    31

    Because he doesn't want to get married and I'm not going to force him into it by making him feel guilty.

    32

    Betsy was shocked, but not me.

    33

    Betsy, I'm not going to explain the facts of life to a guy pushing forty!

    34

    Bordeaux might not want to take them into their home.

    35

    Bordeaux pushed to his feet and moved away from her, careful not to make any sudden movements that might be misinterpreted.

    36

    Bordeaux was a persuasive man with a tendency to move fast - apparently not only with women.

    37

    Brandon nearly choked on his tea, and Mrs. Marsh stared at her plate, not completely hiding a smile.

    38

    Break every stick of furniture in the house, maybe, but not hit her.

    39

    But he did not wish the little girl to think him a coward, so he advanced slowly to the edge of the roof.

    40

    But I did not find out the secret for several years.

    41

    But I'm not sure there's any accurate way of proving that one way or the other.

    42

    But not a single person appeared to be in the room.

    43

    But not enough to give up my business.

    44

    But nowhere in it was there even a hint that it might not be possible.

    45

    But the horse did not buck him off.

    46

    But the Wizard was not so confident.

    47

    But then, if you think it's not safe...

    48

    But then, it was like him not to reveal his thoughts or concerns – unless the mood hit him.

    49

    But then, she admitted to loving him at one time, so it's not hard to believe she still felt something for him.

    50

    But this was not true.

    51

    But you're not thinking right.

    52

    But you're still not comfortable with the decision, are you?

    53

    By the midpoint of the twentieth century, America's dreamers were preoccupied with the future—and not just any old future, but the great and glorious future that seemed inevitable.

    54

    By the time the stage arrived, she was packed, but not ready for the trip.

    55

    Cade still slept peacefully - not that he would have cared if she left at this point anyway.

    56

    Cade was her boss, and thinking such things was not only disrespectful of him, but job threatening as well - especially if he suspected the existence of such thoughts.

    57

    Carmen shrugged, not knowing what to say.

    58

    Carmen took her to the doctor, but he said there was no cure for the common cold and not to worry about it.

    59

    Cassie, I'm not leaving you, so you might as well try to go on.

    60

    Cassie, your father should be the one to tell you this, but since you're not likely to give him the chance, I'll tell you.

    61

    Certainly not that she knew about.

    62

    Could Bordeaux resist temptation - and if not, would he expect forgiveness from her?

    63

    Cynthia was careful not to flirt with Cade again, putting on a professional front when he was around.

    64

    Darcie was there, but Cassie pretended not to see her.

    65

    Deep inside she did feel responsible, but not for Mr. Marsh's death.

    66

    Do you want to go or not?

    67

    Either he hadn't seen her or he preferred not to mention it.

    68

    Eventually her attempts to tame him paid off, and he allowed her to touch him - provided she was careful not to move too quickly.

    69

    Father will not change his mind.

    70

    Fine, but that's not what I asked.

    71

    For a moment the boy did not know what he meant by this question.

    72

    For all of Quinn LeBlanc's intellectual abilities, I not sure Martha isn't the main bread winner while Quinn tinkers in the theoretical world of the intellectual elite.

    73

    Fritz and Royce were squatted close to the fire, probably not wanting to get far from the food.

    74

    Hands clasped, she prayed fervently, asking God not to let Destiny suffer for what they had done.

    75

    He appeared not to see me until I cleared my throat.

    76

    He did not act as if it was bothering him.

    77

    He didn't act concerned when she told him she had looked at them - not until she questioned the source.

    78

    He didn't bring it up again - not even when Jonathan was unable to get his short arm into a comfortable position to play the guitar.

    79

    He does not know what he want.

    80

    He does not like the way father treats us - financially.

    81

    He does not want my help.

    82

    He doesn't know - and I'm not going to tell him.

    83

    He had an idea of how his father felt, fearing he would have to watch his little boy grow and not being able to be the provider.

    84

    He had volunteered his help, and now he was going make his offer good... whether he wanted to or not.

    85

    He hadn't even considered that she might not want to go.

    86

    He has a daughter, but his wife must not live with him because he needs a sitter, she stammered.

    87

    He knew she was not in the chair, but he had no way of knowing she had been to the building.

    88

    He liked Cade, but not the situation.

    89

    He might not have heard what she said, but he must have heard her speak.

    90

    He needed her support, not her criticism.

    91

    He needs you right now, whether he knows it or not.

    92

    He picked it up, but could not see what he held.

    93

    He pushed forward, feeling stirred, but not yet sure what stirred him or what he would say.

    94

    He was her boss now, not a date.

    95

    He was not going very fast, but on his flanks specks of foam began to appear and at times he would tremble like a leaf.

    96

    He will see that the estate does not leave the family.

    97

    He would not have to pay stranger to have his baby.

    98

    He would not let me come alone.

    99

    He's not a plow boy, and he will finish his schooling.

    100

    He's not even a Cade.

    101

    He's not my real brother.

    102

    He's not the kind to leave at a time like this.

    103

    Henry's composition was not in verse.

    104

    Her figure was not as well developed as Alondra or Dulce, but she looked nice in the style and color.

    105

    Her sadness had nothing to do with not appreciating their fortune.

    106

    Her savings and checking accounts combined had never exceeded $3,000 - not even before she paid the bills.

    107

    His kiss had been an act of aggression, not passion.

    108

    His mother lives there with him, so it's not like we'd be all alone out there.

    109

    His mother, Martha's Aunt Rose says he's not the same person.

    110

    His observance was not only dead-on, it was disturbing.

    111

    How could you not know, when he invited you to go see his parents?

    112

    How could you not know?

    113

    How many times have I told you not to leave the house at night in your bare feet?

    114

    I am not saying we live in a utopia.

    115

    I am the housekeeper, not his mistress.

    116

    I can understand you not wanting to invest the money for a car, but what's wrong with accepting a ride now and then?

    117

    I could not be induced to tell where the key was.

    118

    I could not understand, and was vexed.

    119

    I did not earn it.

    120

    I did not know Alex would drink it.

    121

    I did not mean to hurt you.

    122

    I did not take your Dad away.

    123

    I did not then know why Belle acted in this way; but I knew she was not doing as I wished.

    124

    I do not know.

    125

    I do not need it.

    126

    I do not tell him.

    127

    I do not want all this.

    128

    I don't know if he's angry or not.

    129

    I don't know why not.

    130

    I don't need to go to the doctor and I'm not an invalid.

    131

    I don't think it's a gender-based decision - not at this point, anyway.

    132

    I don't want things to be professional – not for you here and not between us.

    133

    I guess I'm not a good investigator.

    134

    I guess I'm not a very good judge of character.

    135

    I guess the way I've acted... not telling you things - what else could you think?

    136

    I guess they're not as tame as they look.

    137

    I hate him and I'm not going back!

    138

    I hate to dispute you, but I'm not miserable.

    139

    I hope I'm not intruding.

    140

    I hope it's not that unpleasant.

    141

    I know I'm mostly to blame for last night, but I'm not here to entertain you.

    142

    I know you're not going to be right 100% of the time.

    143

    I know; I'm not jelouss, but you and Martha have this thing between you that goes so far back I get dizzy thinking about it.

    144

    I may be footing the bill, but you're working for Mom, not me.

    145

    I mean, not doing this.

    146

    I meant I'm not your boss.

    147

    I miss that and I'm not going to be held back simply because you're afraid to have me wandering around on my own.

    148

    I promise not to plaster you with mud this time.

    149

    I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well.

    150

    I suppose I'm simply not very ambitious.

    151

    I told you not to give my number to anyone.

    152

    I try to resurrect my first impression of Howard Abbott not colored by Quinn's negative appraisal.

    153

    I want someone who can contribute intelligent conversation, not grovel at my feet.

    154

    I want to be able to focus on solving this problem, not worrying about what might be said or done to you.

    155

    I was raised on a farm, and being an only child, I learned not to depend on others for entertainment.

    156

    I will not be trapped this time.

    157

    I wish Mr. Giddon had not.

    158

    I would not have left them out of my will - I could not.

    159

    I wouldn't lie to you, Carmen - not intentionally, anyway.

    160

    I'd better not come up there, though.

    161

    I'd rather not make a fool out of myself.

    162

    I'd rather not talk about it.

    163

    I'll call it a dream for lack of another word but that's not what I experienced.

    164

    I'll try not to be so inquisitive.

    165

    I'll try not to get in the way, but everyone deserves a little time to themselves.

    166

    I'm not a mechanic.

    167

    I'm not a pansy, you know.

    168

    I'm not about to jeopardize my job by asking all kinds of questions.

    169

    I'm not afraid of you.

    170

    I'm not against a woman having a job, as long as she sticks to work meant for women.

    171

    I'm not all that secretive, but you were the one who kept telling me that if he wanted you to know, he'd tell you.

    172

    I'm not an heir.

    173

    I'm not angry with you.

    174

    I'm not asking you to give up anything you want, Adrienne.

    175

    I'm not asking you to prove anything.

    176

    I'm not asking you to punish the men.

    177

    I'm not bored, but it is getting late.

    178

    I'm not changing my mind.

    179

    I'm not ever going to know them if I never meet them, am I?

    180

    I'm not forcing you to make a choice between me and your mother.

    181

    I'm not from around here.

    182

    I'm not going back and you can't make me.

    183

    I'm not going back to see him.

    184

    I'm not going home until you talk to me.

    185

    I'm not going to hurt you.

    186

    I'm not going to put it before Mom.

    187

    I'm not in love with anyone.

    188

    I'm not much of a fisherman.

    189

    I'm not much of a social person I guess.

    190

    I'm not opposed to technology, I simply enjoy the work.

    191

    I'm not qualified, Brandon, and I'm not going to get this started, so forget it.

    192

    I'm not ready for the rocking chair yet.

    193

    I'm not so sure he's up to anything.

    194

    I'm not so sure.

    195

    I'm not sure exactly when I started falling in love with you.

    196

    I'm not sure I have enough chores around here to keep her busy.

    197

    I'm not sure who started that story, but it floated around here for my last two years of high school.

    198

    I'm not sure, but I think it's going to be fun finding out.

    199

    I'm not the enemy.

    200

    I'm not trying to make excuses for his behavior.

    201

    I'm not very good at that anyway.

    202

    I'm sorry I was rude to you, and I know it's not your fault you look so good in that suit.

    203

    I'm sorry, sweetheart, but at least for now, I think it's better that you're not involved.

    204

    I'm still not sure why they did - maybe because they had recently lost a lot of their own people.

    205

    I'm the guy with no past and I have this... earlier vision and it's not even my memory.

    206

    I'm the one who owes you an apology, not the other way around.

    207

    I've found old rock fences, and there's an old log cabin falling into ruins not too far from here.

    208

    If he does not take the inheritance, we will not have a home.

    209

    If Howard had not been able to find anything on Yancey, it was probably because there was nothing to tell.

    210

    If it hadn't been for Katie, she might not have discovered that she was right.

    211

    If not, why had he gone - left her alone for two weeks?

    212

    If Sarah suspected that she already knew what was going on and looked the other way, why not welcome her into the family?

    213

    If the Indians were renegades, surely they wouldn't want to take the time to track only two people - not with the cavalry on their trail.

    214

    If there was anything going on in this house, it's not like your rooming upstairs would make it look any different.

    215

    If they separated at Ashley, she might not ever see him again.

    216

    If we do not...

    217

    If you're not fighting, why don't you go see her?

    218

    If your Dad is feeling bad enough to warrant medical attention, he needs to see a doctor, not a nurse.

    219

    In any case, Alex might not be happy with her old-fashioned ideas.

    220

    In fact, he had given her strict orders not to lift anything.

    221

    In fact, why not give them a little show?

    222

    In the end, he will not refuse.

    223

    In the first place, I tell you we have no right to question the Emperor about that, and secondly, if the Russian nobility had that right, the Emperor could not answer such a question.

    224

    In the second place, I'm not going to play doctor.

    225

    In the strict sense of the word I am not a Wizard, but only a humbug.

    226

    Is he not wonderful?

    227

    It had a bright blue cover, which he was careful not to soil.

    228

    It is not a sin to want your child.

    229

    It is not easy.

    230

    It is not for me to say how he spends his money.

    231

    It is your affair, not mine.

    232

    It looked cool and casual, but not provocative.

    233

    It makes me feel small when you keep things from me - like you don't trust me, or you think I'm not mature enough to handle it.

    234

    It must drive him nuts not knowing.

    235

    It only strengthened the idea that he was the caretaker, not the owner.

    236

    It was a soft kiss, not demanding but more inquisitive.

    237

    It was a statement, not a question.

    238

    It was Christmas morning and all was not well.

    239

    It was either that or start from scratch but he's not even sure he's a catholic, much less committed to anything.

    240

    It was hard to say whether Alex was withholding facts so she couldn't contest his decisions or simply because he thought she did not need to know.

    241

    It was like Mom not to ask for help.

    242

    It was meant as a threat, not a promise.

    243

    It would be best to contact Connie tomorrow and tell her not to send mail.

    244

    It's a subject I'd rather not discuss.

    245

    It's fine to have high ideals about not going too far, but the reality of it is, it can happen before you realize what is happening.

    246

    It's just not my style.

    247

    It's just that... well; it's not your responsibility.

    248

    It's not a decision or a wish any more.

    249

    It's not like I'm asking you to run away with me.

    250

    It's not like that at all.

    251

    It's not my blood.

    252

    It's not new equipment.

    253

    It's not the same.

    254

    It's not too late to change your mind.

    255

    It's not what it looks like, Davis.

    256

    It's not your fault.

    257

    It's so nice not to listen to police sirens and taxies honking their horns but I'm afraid we might have woken Howie up earlier.

    258

    It's straight from the trees; not like that watered down grocery store junk.

    259

    It's wandering around in circles and it's not at all afraid of us.

    260

    It's your money, not mine.

    261

    Jonathan wants a little brother, not a little sister.

    262

    Julia and Rachel were out shopping, and she stood in his doorway, not sure what to say.

    263

    Just make sure he's not traumatized or something.

    264

    Katie glanced up at Carmen, her attention still not complete.

    265

    Let's not get into that again.

    266

    Let's not go through this again.

    267

    Let's not just plunge into this.

    268

    Let's not think of unpleasant things right now.

    269

    Lisa glanced at Connie; not at all sure she was making a wise decision.

    270

    Lisa hesitated, not wanting to alarm her friend with the details.

    271

    Lisa hesitated, not wanting to pry and not sure if the conversation was supposed to end there.

    272

    Living in that house and using the pool would be like a summer vacation, not a job.

    273

    Martha handed her the phone and I could tell by the look that quickly appeared on her face, it was not good news.

    274

    Maybe he was glad Allen had been exposed and he had not.

    275

    Maybe that's not too good an idea after all.

    276

    Maybe that's what it means, maybe not.

    277

    Maybe they had inherited or learned it from their mother, not his father.

    278

    Millions will pour forth from there"--he pointed to the merchants' hall--"but our business is to supply men and not spare ourselves...

    279

    More important, though, was the fact that he believed the child should not suffer for the sins of the parent.

    280

    More likely it stemmed from the fact that she had not gone to the house yet.

    281

    No, I guess not.

    282

    No, I simply think there is a proper way to do things, and humans have a habit of doing what pleases them at the moment, not what is best for the future.

    283

    No, I suppose not.

    284

    No, I'm not bored and I don't have anything special to say.

    285

    No, I'm not in the mood.

    286

    No, not his driving, but his mood was.

    287

    No, not too far, but the party is tonight, so we need to stay close.

    288

    No. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I don't remember.

    289

    Nonsense, you're not putting us out, but you're more than welcome to use the phone... and please call me Sarah.

    290

    Not a word said, and yet there it was.

    291

    Not all men were unfaithful lechers.

    292

    Not because she did anything wrong, though.

    293

    Not even a path had existed here when she lived in the area five years ago.

    294

    Not even if I get your teams ready?

    295

    Not far from the camp, they reached a rock outcropping.

    296

    Not if they don't come back this way.

    297

    Not if you judge by the car and their clothes.

    298

    Not in so many words, but it says women shouldn't dress in men's clothing.

    299

    Not like I wanted to take him away from the man who had been a Dad to him.

    300

    Not more than four hours ago he was so mad at her that he could hardly speak.

    301

    Not now implied later, but that didn't feel comfortable either.

    302

    Not on you're life.

    303

    Not once did he look in their direction.

    304

    Not only because she loved him, but also because she trusted him.

    305

    Not only was Pierre's attempt to speak unsuccessful, but he was rudely interrupted, pushed aside, and people turned away from him as from a common enemy.

    306

    Not surprising, since they made all the laws.

    307

    Not that any of it actually mattered.

    308

    Not that any of this indecision was necessary.

    309

    Not that anyone cares what I do.

    310

    Not that either; it was much more intense.

    311

    Not that he'd been out much lately.

    312

    Not that I blame her.

    313

    Not that I ever hear of.

    314

    Not that I was having much luck, anyway.

    315

    Not that it mattered at this point.

    316

    Not that it mattered.

    317

    Not that it needed hashing out anyway.

    318

    Not that it was going to help.

    319

    Not that it wasn't true - simply unexpected.

    320

    Not that it would do her any good.

    321

    Not that one had anything to do with the other, but the technology of surrogacy would have been inconceivable back then.

    322

    Not that Rachel had any reason to complain.

    323

    Not that she could deny a vivid imagination.

    324

    Not that she had any right to complain.

    325

    Not that she was likely to see him again - especially out here in the desert, hundreds of miles from their little Texas ranch.

    326

    Not that she would know a drug lord from a prince.

    327

    Not that the idea didn't have some appeal.

    328

    Not that there was much likelihood.

    329

    Not the way things are.

    330

    Not the way you love Bordeaux?

    331

    Not until after I graduated.

    332

    Not until next month – and it's 26.

    333

    Not until you talk.

    334

    Not when everything else was working out so well.

    335

    Not working as hard as you, that's for sure.

    336

    Nothing is going to happen - not tonight or any other night.

    337

    Nothing she had ever experienced in her life was more painful than that moment, knowing his pain and not being able to say a thing to help.

    338

    Now that I'm not, what do you have in mind?

    339

    Of course he would feel responsible for working it out and not troubling her with it.

    340

    Of course I did not know what it was all about, but I enjoyed the pleasant odours that filled the house and the tidbits that were given to Martha Washington and me to keep us quiet.

    341

    Oh, he's not mean.

    342

    One does not dress or act like a lady.

    343

    Only it's a different kind of love; not the sex kind.

    344

    Other than the brief conversation about seeing him with Allen, they had not discussed him.

    345

    People should get married because they want to spend the rest of their lives together, not because they've already shared a few nights.

    346

    Perhaps I don't understand things, but Austria never has wished, and does not wish, for war.

    347

    Pierre stood rather far off and could not hear all that the Emperor said.

    348

    Pierre wished to reply, but could not get in a word.

    349

    Possibly not, but that was the end result.

    350

    Probably not or he would have used it.

    351

    Probably not, but she was born and raised here - and her parents are buried here.

    352

    See you this fall, if not before.

    353

    Several squeals and grunts were instantly heard at his feet, but the Wizard could not discover a single piglet.

    354

    She could believe that of Dulce, but not of Felipa.

    355

    She could count his ribs easily where they showed through the skin of his body, and his head was long and seemed altogether too big for him, as if it did not fit.

    356

    She couldn't see his facial expression in the dark, so it was hard to tell if he was teasing her or not.

    357

    She did feel betrayed by Howard, but not by Yancey.

    358

    She does not respect others.

    359

    She forced herself to walk, not run, back to the house.

    360

    She had no intention of hopping into bed with Brandon before they were married - house rules or not.

    361

    She had some money tucked away in a cookie jar in the kitchen and she intended to pay him something, whether he liked it or not.

    362

    She hadn't said anything to anyone, not even Connie.

    363

    She hesitated, wanting to find a way home, but not wanting to ask any more favors of him.

    364

    She indicated a cultivated area not far from where she was working.

    365

    She is not a child.

    366

    She jerked the kitchen door open, not realizing he was close until she heard his voice behind her.

    367

    She needed to talk to him, but not here in front of the owner.

    368

    She plodded on, willing herself to take each step, not thinking of the miles to go, but merely getting through one more painful step.

    369

    She raced up the steps, wondering if men who could not be trusted would plague her entire life.

    370

    She ran a comb through her hair, deciding not to re-braid the top part.

    371

    She rubbed her wrists, not fully appreciating his effort.

    372

    She shoved the photo back into the envelope and closed the lip, willing herself not to think about the previous pregnancy and its tragic end.

    373

    She shrugged, not wanting to discuss the matter with him, but determined not to hurt his feelings.

    374

    She smiled to herself - and not always because he rubbed her the wrong way.

    375

    She stared into her cup, not wanting to say anything that would add fuel to the torch she suspected he was carrying for her.

    376

    She tried not to think of Bordeaux, instead focusing her attention on the twins and what she was going to say to her father.

    377

    She tucked the spot into her jeans, trying not to expose her tears.

    378

    She turned her head so that he would not see the tears burning her eyes.

    379

    She would have thought Dulce adored her father, but obviously not.

    380

    She's a house guest, not a prisoner.

    381

    Since you arrived, she is not sure this is the way.

    382

    Sleep was not her friend during the day.

    383

    So now I'm not compatible?

    384

    So the party was actually for him, not both of them.

    385

    So why not go?

    386

    So you must be careful not to spend these foolishly.

    387

    So you're not the least bit interested in him?

    388

    So, can you still tell me you're not romantically interested in him?

    389

    Some have asked what I got to eat; if I did not feel lonesome; if I was not afraid; and the like.

    390

    Something moved in the brush not far away and she froze.

    391

    Sometimes. Anyway, it's the paneling that makes the room so dark, not the curtains over the windows.

    392

    Still she does not obey.

    393

    Still, Alex had presented the issue as responsibility, not money.

    394

    Still, if Señor Medena adopted Dulce when she was a baby and raised her, then he was her father - blood relative or not.

    395

    Still, if that were the case, she need not have brought up the telephone call at the table.

    396

    Surely you're not trying to hide from me.

    397

    Sweetheart, let's not let this come between us.

    398

    Taking special care not to crimp the IV cord, she cuddled Destiny close.

    399

    Tammy shrugged her tiny shoulders, the large blue eyes imploring her not to pry.

    400

    That better not be Dulce.

    401

    That I am not prepared to say.

    402

    That's not as far out as you might think.

    403

    That's right, but not until Sunday.

    404

    The antidepressants didn't help that much, but maybe they were responsible for the fact that she had not lost control yet.

    405

    The apron did not dry quickly enough to suit me, so I drew nearer and threw it right over the hot ashes.

    406

    The architecture was fantastic, but not near as exciting as the ride on a ferry.

    407

    The assembled nobles all took off their uniforms and settled down again in their homes and clubs, and not without some groans gave orders to their stewards about the enrollment, feeling amazed themselves at what they had done.

    408

    The atmosphere felt stiff and formal, as if this was not part of their routine.

    409

    The best thing to do was to calmly tell him she would rather not go.

    410

    The braids not only held it out of her eyes, but thinned the bottom part down enough that it would lay loose across her shoulders and down her back without frizzing.

    411

    The great cathedral Notre Dame de Paris, which was begun before your birth, would not be finished by your death.

    412

    The hardwood floor had not been stained.

    413

    The Hertz's had not been blessed with children and were adamant that they would love taking care of the twins.

    414

    The hot chocolate did its job, but not until well after five o'clock.

    415

    The last word ended on the upturn, as if it were a question, not a statement.

    416

    The more she learned about the way he thought, the more she was convinced that people around him were the strange ones, not Cade.

    417

    The muscles on his chest and arms were not well defined.

    418

    The only difference was that she wanted Yancey to kiss her, not Howard.

    419

    The shed at Hugson's Siding was bare save for an old wooden bench, and did not look very inviting.

    420

    The sheetrock was up and mudded, but not painted.

    421

    The speech was not hard to learn, and Edward soon knew every word of it.

    422

    The voice was not hers.

    423

    The years had not been kind to him.

    424

    There could be a number of reasons that Sarah would welcome her as a daughter-in-law, not the least of which was the goings-on down that path.

    425

    There was not an ugly person in all the throng.

    426

    There was nothing she could do about it until he got home, so she might as well not think about it.

    427

    There was some question that he might not be able to keep his own child?

    428

    There were no stairs in their houses, because they did not need them, but on a level surface they generally walked just as we do.

    429

    These babies might not be in her womb, but they did belong to Alex.

    430

    These happy days did not last long.

    431

    They did not smile nor did they frown, or show either fear or surprise or curiosity or friendliness.

    432

    They do not want the hacienda.

    433

    They have a camp not far away.

    434

    They have her in pull-ups now and she's not happy about that.

    435

    They might not look alike?

    436

    They must have been close, and yet, to the best of her memory, Alex had not spoken of Gerald.

    437

    They probably had a lot to discuss and most likely were not alone.

    438

    They're not going to kick us out.

    439

    Think, also, of the ladies of the land weaving toilet cushions against the last day, not to betray too green an interest in their fates!

    440

    This does not bother you?

    441

    This is between you and me, not the entire neighborhood.

    442

    This is not enough for Alex to support?

    443

    This was a decision she had already made once - but not really.

    444

    Through it she heard the mumbling of the reverend, but not the words.

    445

    To make sure I'm not keeping up with the Jones', I suppose.

    446

    Two other baby birds were there, that had not fallen out.

    447

    Ultimately she would forgive him, so why not start now?

    448

    Unless someone knew the area, they could pass within a hundred feet of it and not know it was there.

    449

    We are Russians and will not grudge our blood in defense of our faith, the throne, and the Fatherland!

    450

    We commonly do not remember that it is, after all, always the first person that is speaking.

    451

    We were sadly in the way, but that did not interfere with our pleasure in the least.

    452

    We're not fooling around, you know.

    453

    We're not in the apartment, are we?

    454

    We're not talking over a thousand dollars, are we?

    455

    We've already established that I'm not an heir.

    456

    Well I'm not sorry, and I don't know why you should be.

    457

    Well, maybe it does for some people, but not a hard hearted old witch like me.

    458

    Well, not exactly hiding it.

    459

    Were it not for the ranch, she might even feel happy for them.

    460

    What a wicked thought to have about the man who had risked his life to protect her - not once, but a number of times in the last few days - and with so little to gain.

    461

    What do you think I've been going through lately... wanting to tell you, wanting to hold you in my arms - not knowing if you felt the way I did.

    462

    What other reason would there be for telling his daughter not to discuss his occupation?

    463

    What was down that path that no one wanted to talk about, and why did Giddon insist that his houseguest should not wander around alone?

    464

    Whatever. I came out here to enjoy your company, not argue with you.

    465

    When I'm not studying medicine, I'm practicing it at the hospital.

    466

    When she decided Yancey wasn't around, she started down the path, keeping close to the trees without breaking her promise not to wander in the woods.

    467

    When they got married, there were no children to consider - not even the likelihood.

    468

    Whether he had arranged things to work out this way or not, her resources had been cut seriously.

    469

    Whether we want to admit it or not, we all wish everyone would like us.

    470

    While I preferred not to toss a wet blanket on her quest, I remained far more pragmatic.

    471

    Why do you not take my offer?

    472

    Why go through all that pain again, when she had almost succeeded in putting him in the past - almost, but not quite.

    473

    Why had it never occurred to her that the twins might not want to go with her?

    474

    Why not check it out?

    475

    Why not dispense with all the formalities?

    476

    Why should I remember a 'Get out of Jail Free' card and not recognize my own mother, or a picture of my father or sister; or this bratty cousin?

    477

    Why, it's a great deal for Uncle Hugson, but not for me.

    478

    Wireless Internet was not available at the cabin and our computer had no means for a telephone hook-up.

    479

    With her own bedroom came responsibilities – things like not waking up anyone else.

    480

    Working for Cade might not be as dull as she had first thought.

    481

    Yes, I want to marry you, and no, not now.

    482

    Yes, you have not forgiven me.

    483

    You are not impressed?

    484

    You are not late.

    485

    You better not tell either of them just yet.

    486

    You did not tell him?

    487

    You don't need training - especially not from the people who come up with this fashionable cluttered look.

    488

    You know how stubborn you are about not doing business with dishonest people.

    489

    You said marriage was for people who wanted to spend a lifetime together, not a few nights.

    490

    You think the boy might not be mine?

    491

    You will not tell him?

    492

    You'd think so and I guess he's curious about his past, but he's not as obsessed.

    493

    You're a mighty good cook - not to mention a good driver.

    494

    You're not going to lecture me about it?

    495

    You're not going to sleep a wink tonight.

    496

    You're not going to throw up again, are you?

    497

    You're not interested in commitment.

    498

    You're not leaving here until I get the information I came for.

    499

    You're not sour either.

    500

    You're probably not used to eating like this, but when you're cooking for men...
