<p id="id10492">A most extraordinary idea!</p>
<p id="id10493">A thousand hopes for your success</p>
<p id="id10494">Accept my best wishes</p>
<p id="id10495">All that is conjecture</p>
<p id="id10496">Allow me to congratulate you</p>
<p id="id10497">An unfortunate comparison, don't you think?</p>
<p id="id10498">And even if it were so?</p>
<p id="id10499">And how am I to thank you?</p>
<p id="id10500">And in the end, what are you going to make of it?</p>
<p id="id10501">And yet the explanation does not wholly satisfy me</p>
<p id="id10502">Apparently I was wrong</p>
<p id="id10503">Are we wandering from the point?</p>
<p id="id10504">Are you a trifle—bored?</p>
<p id="id10505">Are you fully reconciled?</p>
<p id="id10506">Are you not complicating the question?</p>
<p id="id10507">Are you prepared to go to that length?</p>
<p id="id10508" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%">Are you still obdurate?
[obdurate = Hardened in wrongdoing; stubbornly impenitent]</p>
<p id="id10509">As it happens, your conjecture is right</p>
<p id="id10510">Assuredly I do</p>
<p id="id10511">At first blush it may seem fantastic</p>
<h4 id="id10512" style="margin-top: 2em">B</h4>
<p id="id10513">Banish such thoughts</p>
<p id="id10514">But are you not taking a slightly one-sided point of view?</p>
<p id="id10515">But consider for a moment</p>
<p id="id10516">But I look at the practical side</p>
<p id="id10517">But I wander from my point</p>
<p id="id10518">But now I'll confide something to you</p>
<p id="id10519">But perhaps I'm hardly fair when I say that</p>
<p id="id10520">But seriously speaking, what is the use of it?</p>
<p id="id10521">But surely that is inconsistent</p>
<p id="id10522">But that's a tremendous hazard</p>
<p id="id10523">But the thing is simply impossible</p>
<p id="id10524">But there's one thing you haven't said</p>
<p id="id10525">But, wait, you haven't heard the end</p>
<p id="id10526">But what do you yourself think about it?</p>
<p id="id10527">But who could foresee what was going to happen?</p>
<p id="id10528">But you are open to persuasion?</p>
<p id="id10529">But you do not know for certain</p>
<p id="id10530">But you must tell me more</p>
<p id="id10531">By a curious chance, I know it very well</p>
<p id="id10532">By no means desirable, I think</p>
<h4 id="id10533" style="margin-top: 2em">C</h4>
<p id="id10534">Can I persuade you?</p>
<p id="id10535">Can you imagine anything so horrible?</p>
<p id="id10536">Certain circumstances make it undesirable</p>
<p id="id10537">Certainly not, if it displeases you</p>
<p id="id10538">Certainly, with the greatest pleasure</p>
<p id="id10539">Come, where's your sense of humor?</p>
<p id="id10540">Consult me when you want me—at any time</p>
<h4 id="id10541" style="margin-top: 2em">D</h4>
<p id="id10542">Decidedly so</p>
<p id="id10543">Dine with me to-morrow night?—if you are free?</p>
<p id="id10544">Do I presume too much?</p>
<p id="id10545">Do I seem very ungenerous?</p>
<p id="id10546">Do not misunderstand me</p>
<p id="id10547">Do not the circumstances justify it?</p>
<p id="id10548">Don't be so dismal, please</p>
<p id="id10549">Don't delude yourself</p>
<p id="id10550">Don't let me encroach on your good nature</p>
<p id="id10551">Don't think I am unappreciative of your kindness</p>
<p id="id10552">Do you attach any particular meaning to that?</p>
<p id="id10553">Do you know, I envy you that</p>
<p id="id10554">Do you know what his chief interests are now?</p>
<p id="id10555">Do you mind my making a suggestion?</p>
<p id="id10556">Do you press me to tell?</p>
<p id="id10557">Do you really regard him as a serious antagonist?</p>
<p id="id10558">Do you think there is anything ominous in it?</p>
<p id="id10559">Does it please you so tremendously?</p>
<p id="id10560">Does it seem incredible?</p>
<h4 id="id10561" style="margin-top: 2em">E</h4>
<p id="id10562">Either way is perplexing</p>
<p id="id10563">Eminently proper, I think</p>
<p id="id10564">Everyone looks at it differently</p>
<p id="id10565">Excuse my bluntness</p>
<h4 id="id10566" style="margin-top: 2em">F</h4>
<p id="id10567">Fanciful, I should say</p>
<p id="id10568">For the simplest of reasons</p>
<p id="id10569">Forgive me if I seem disobliging</p>
<p id="id10570">Fortunate, to say the least</p>
<p id="id10571">Frankly, I don't see why it should</p>
<p id="id10572">Frugal to a degree</p>
<p id="id10573">Fulsome praise, I call it</p>
<h4 id="id10574" style="margin-top: 2em">G</h4>
<p id="id10575">Give me your sympathy and counsel</p>
<p id="id10576">Glorious to contemplate</p>
<p id="id10577">Good! that is at least something</p>
<p id="id10578">Gratifying, I am sure</p>
<h4 id="id10579" style="margin-top: 2em">H</h4>
<p id="id10580">Happily there are exceptions to every rule</p>
<p id="id10581">Has it really come to that?</p>
<p id="id10582">Have I incurred your displeasure?</p>
<p id="id10583">Have you any rooted objection to it?</p>
<p id="id10584">Have you anything definite in your mind?</p>
<p id="id10585">Have you reflected what the consequences might be to yourself?</p>
<p id="id10586">He does me too much honor</p>
<p id="id10587">He feels it acutely</p>
<p id="id10588">He has a queer conception of the proprieties</p>
<p id="id10589">He is a poor dissembler [dissemble = conceal behind a false appearance]</p>
<p id="id10590">He is anything but obtuse</p>
<p id="id10591">He is so ludicrously wrong</p>
<p id="id10592">He is the most guileless of men</p>
<p id="id10593">He was so extremely susceptible</p>
<p id="id10594">He writes uncommonly clever letters</p>
<p id="id10595">Heaven forbid that I should wound your sensibility</p>
<p id="id10596">His sense of humor is unquenchable</p>
<p id="id10597">How amiable you are to say so</p>
<p id="id10598">How can I tell you how much I have enjoyed it all?</p>
<p id="id10599">How can I thank you?</p>
<p id="id10600">How can you be so unjust?</p>
<p id="id10601">How delightful to meet you</p>
<p id="id10602">How does the idea appeal to you?</p>
<p id="id10603">How droll you are!</p>
<p id="id10604">How extraordinary!</p>
<p id="id10605">How intensely interesting!</p>
<p id="id10606">How perfectly delightful!</p>
<p id="id10607">How utterly abominable</p>
<p id="id10608">How very agreeable this is!</p>
<p id="id10609">How very interesting</p>
<p id="id10610">How very surprising</p>
<p id="id10611">How well you do it!</p>
<p id="id10612">However, I should like to hear your views</p>
<p id="id10613">Human nature interests me very much indeed</p>
