An intense travail of mind

2

An intentional breach of politeness

3

An interchange of civilities

4

An intolerable deal of guesswork

5

An involuntary gesture of remonstrance

6

An irrelevant bit of magniloquence

7

An irrepressible and impassioned hopefulness

8

An irritating and dangerous treatment

9

An isle of Paradise, fair as a gem

10

An itching propensity for argument

11

An object of indestructible interest

12

An obnoxious member of society

13

An obscure thrill of alarm

14

An odd little air of penitent self-depreciation

15

An old nodding negress whose sable head shined in the sun

16

An ominous lull and silence

17

An omnibus across the bridge crawls like a yellow butterfly

18

An open and violent rupture

19

An open wit and recklessness of bearing

20

An opinion has now become established

21

An oppressive sense of strange sweet odor

22

An optimistic after-dinner mood

23

An outburst of impassioned eloquence

24

An overburdening sense of the inexpressible

25

An unaccountable feeling of antipathy

26

An unbecoming vehemence

27

An uncomfortable premonition of fear

28

An undefined sadness seemed to have fallen about her like a cloud

29

An undisciplined state of feeling

30

An unerring sense of humor

31

an unexpected and exquisite thought

32

An unfailing sweetness and unerring perception

33

An unfortunate comparison, don't you think?

34

An unknown world, wild as primeval chaos

35

An unparalleled and almost miraculous growth

36

An unparalleled atrocity

37

An unpatriotic and ignoble act

38

An unpleasant and heavy sensation sat at his heart

39

An unpleasing strain, like the vibration of a rope drawn out too fast

40

An unreasoning form of coercion

41

An unredeemed dreariness of thought

42

An unsuspected moral obtuseness

43

52

ancient and venerable

53

ancient garb

54

ancient, subtle, and treacherous

55

And a pinnace like a flutter'd bird came flying from afar

56

And a tear like silver, glistened in the corner of her eye

57

And again, it is said

58

And again, it is to be presumed

59

And all our thoughts ran into tears like sunshine into rain

60

and all the earth revealeth

61

and as ethereal as the light of a solitary star

62

And at first the road comes moving toward me, like a bride waving palms

63

and became transmuted to silver sentinels

64

And coming nearer to our own day

65

And day peers forth with her blank eyes

66

And did a man try to persuade me

67

And do you really think

68

And Dusk, with breast as of a dove, brooded

69

And even if it were so?

70

And everybody here knows

71

And eyes as bright as the day

72

And fell as cold as a lump of clay

73

And for myself, as I said

74

And further, all that I have said

75

and goes at a gallop through the plain

76

And hence the well-known doctrine

77

And her cheek was like a rose

78

And here again, when I speak

79

And here allow me to call your attention

80

And here I am led to observe

81

And here I come to the closing evidence

82

And here I have an opportunity

83

And here I reproach

84

And here I wish you to observe

85

And here let me define my position

86

And here let me give my explanation

87

And here let us recall to mind

88

And here were forests ancient as the hills

89

And how am I to thank you?

90

And how is it possible to imagine

91

And I am bound to say

92

And I beg of you

93

And I call on you

94

And I might say this

95

And I refuse assent

96

And I rejoice to know

97

And I say, it were better for you

98

And I should in like manner repudiate

99

And I speak with reverence

100

And I submit to you

101

And I trust that you will consider

102

And I will make a practical suggestion

103

And I will tell you why

104

And I would, moreover submit

105

And if a man could anywhere be found

106

And if any of you should question

107

And if I know anything of my countrymen

108

And if I may presume to speak

109

And if I take another instance

110

And if this be true

111

And if you come to a decision

112

And if you think it your duty

113

And in conclusion

114

And in like manner

115

And in order to see this

116

And in the end, what are you going to make of it?

117

And in thus speaking, I am not denying

118

And is not this lamentable

119

And is there not a presumption

120

And it happens

121

And it is certainly true

122

And it is doubtful if

123

And it is not difficult to see

124

And it is not plain

125

And it is one of the evidences

126

And it is precisely in this

127

And it is strikingly suggested to us

128

And it is undeniable, I say

129

And it is well that this should be so

130

And last of all

131

And lest anyone should marvel

132

And let it be observed

133

And lo! and behold

134

and makes his way through temple, tower, and palace

135

And many a fountain, rivulet, and pond,

136

And melting like the stars in June

137

And more than this

138

And next I would ask

139

And night, as welcome as a friend

140

And now allow me to call attention

141

And now behold a mystery

142

And now consider

143

And now having discussed

144

And now I address myself to my task

145

And now I beg that I may be permitted

146

And now I go back to the statement

147

And now I have completed my review

148

And now I have said enough to explain

149

And now I must touch upon one point

150

And now if I may take for granted

151

And now it would be very pleasant for me

152

And now observe how

153

And now supposing this point to be settled

154

And now that I have mentioned

155

And now the chief points of it

156

And now the question is asked me

157

And now, sir, what I had first to say

158

And now, to close, let me give you

159

And now, to what purpose do I mention

160

And of this I am perfectly certain

161

And quite as difficult is it to create

162

And right here lies the cause

163

and sees only white peaks and pinnacles

164

And silence like a poultice comes to heal the blows of sound

165

And so I am reminded of a story

166

And so I leave these words with you

167

And so I may point out

168

And so I might recount to you

169

And so in the present case

170

And so on

171

And so through all phases

172

And so, again, as regard

173

And so, in the other cases, I have named

174

And so, upon every hand

175

And sometimes it will be difficult

176

And spangled o'er with twinkling points, like stars

177

And that gave another distorted view

178

and the genius of her mind

179

And the like

180

And the reason is very obvious

181

And the same holds good

182

And the smile she softly uses fills the silence like a speech

183

And then again

184

And then hastily to conclude

185

And then I may be reminded

186

And then there is another thought

187

And then when it is said

188

And there are reasons why

189

And there is also this view

190

And therefore am I truly glad

191

And therefore it is not unfrequently quoted

192

And therefore it is not without regret

193

And this brings me to the last thing

194

And this is really the sense

195

And this leads me to say a word

196

And thus consistently

197

And thus it is conceivable

198

And thus it seems to me

199

And thus we are led on then to further question

200

And to all this must be added

201

And to return to the topic

202

And to this conclusion you must come

203

And unquestionably

204

And we are brought to the same conclusion

205

And what do you suppose will be

206

And what is all this pother about?

207

And when I have shown to you

208

And when I recall that event

209

And when we pass beyond the bounds of

210

And where, let me ask

211

And why should I insist

212

And will you still insist

213

And with these thoughts come others

214

And yet I can not but reflect

215

And yet I feel justified in believing

216

And yet I think we all feel

217

And yet let me say to you

218

And yet one more quotation

219

And yet the explanation does not wholly satisfy me

220

And yet this notion is, I conceive

221

And yet though this be true

222

And yet we ought, if we are wise

223

And you may also remember this

224

And, of course, you are aware
