  • If he had buttered up to her, it was merely to make his job easier.

    0
    0
  • He deserved an apology, and she intended to give him one - if she ever saw him again.

    0
    0
  • And yet, Pete had told her to seek out Bordeaux if something happened.

  • If you leave the wagons behind, you'll be rewarding the Indians.

    0
    0
  • If you take them with you, it might give you cover if the Indians attack again.

    0
    0
  • On the other hand, if you abandoned the wagons and rode the mules, you might be able to keep ahead of the Indians.

    0
    0
  • One and a half or two if you leave the wagons - and leave tonight.

    0
    0
  • But what if we buried the supplies under the wagons and then burned the wagons?

    0
    0
  • I like the idea of burying the supplies, but I don't think the Indians would be fooled if we buried everything – even if we could.

    0
    0
  • If something happens to the rest of us, I want you to ride as fast as you can to Ashley.

    0
    0
  • Even the animals were quiet, as if they knew danger lurked in the darkness.

    0
    0
  • Maybe you'd like to stick around here for a while to see if they show up.

    0
    0
  • But if they don't want our food, why would they follow us?

    0
    0
  • If they left the reservation because they were hungry, why would they be out here?

    0
    0
  • What would they do if they caught up?

    0
    0
  • Cassie, if I were the type of man to run away from responsibility, would I be here right now?

    0
    0
  • And if she still couldn't make up her mind?

    0
    0
  • But if they thought she and Bordeaux were engaged, the matter would be closed.

    0
    0
  • As if in answer to her question, he dug a tin from his shirt pocket and handed it to her.

    0
    0
  • If he wanted to discuss her father, it was going to be a one-sided conversation.

    0
    0
  • Could Bordeaux resist temptation - and if not, would he expect forgiveness from her?

    0
    0
  • Even if it hadn't been dark, visibility would have been less than a few feet.

    0
    0
  • If they did, they'll be looking for us.

    0
    0
  • If anything happens, find Bordeaux and stay with him.

    0
    0
  • If Pete had that much faith in Bordeaux, he had good reason.

    0
    0
  • Not if they don't come back this way.

    0
    0
  • If she couldn't keep up she would likely get him killed.

    0
    0
  • 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.

    0
    0
  • As much as she would like to have offered to walk while he rode, she knew they would cover ground faster if she rode and he walked.

    0
    0
  • As if challenging his statement, the bay jerked his nose up and sucked in a breath.

    0
    0
  • But if you'd rather take them off, go ahead.

    0
    0
  • If she hadn't witnessed his exchange with the woman earlier, she would have been certain he was disappointed.

    0
    0
  • But if Bordeaux wasn't a Mormon, why would he propose to two women in one day?

    0
    0
  • At least he was honorable, but if the look on his face was any indication, he was regretting that offer.

    0
    0
  • What if he had changed his mind?

    0
    0
  • Again she wondered if she had bit off more than she could chew.

    0
    0
  • If you need anything, my room is at the end of the hall.

    0
    0
  • Of course, it would be more profitable for the ranch if I culled those animals by taking them to the slaughter house.

    0
    0
  • So far, deer and rabbits are easier for a few wolves to pull down than a healthy cow, but if the pack gets too big they may go after cattle.

    0
  • Nothing is going on, if that's what you're getting at.

    0
    0
  • Mary studied her reflectively and finally spoke in a hushed tone, as if she didn't actually want to know the answer to her question.

    0
    0
  • You know, this house wouldn't be as cold if there were some curtains on the window and some rugs on the floor.

    0
    0
  • If you use the right colors, and brighten the walls with a few large pictures, or some mirrors, it wouldn't be so dark.

    0
    0
  • If you want to put them up, go ahead.

    0
    0
  • Yet it left her wondering if Mary was still romantically interested in him.

    0
    0
  • What if he didn't like it after she was done?

    0
    0
  • Of course, if you think it would be too much work... you'll only have two weeks.

    0
    0
  • I think it would be a good idea if I moved upstairs.

    0
    0
  • If there was anything going on in this house, it's not like your rooming upstairs would make it look any different.

    0
    0
  • There's nothing sensitive about Claudette, but if you want to move into that room upstairs with the balcony, go ahead.

    0
    0
  • If she thought her face could get no warmer, she was unpleasantly surprised.

    0
    0
  • Little did he know that she wouldn't have left the ranch if her truck had been available.

    0
    0
  • It isn't troubling me, but if you really don't want me messing with it...

    0
    0
  • Well, if I was in your shoes, I'd see my doctor about some form of birth control.

    0
    0
  • It would be nice to know she could leave the ranch at will without leaving Cade afoot, but she doubted if she would be driving to town soon.

    0
    0
  • If he returned her affection, would she grow tired of him?

    0
    0
  • If he hasn't been with a woman, it's probably because he's had other ways of...

    0
    0
  • If she said he was responsive, Claudette would assume something was going on.

    0
    0
  • If she confirmed that Cade was unresponsive she would be as much as endorsing an ugly rumor.

    0
    0
  • Now if you been a male...

    0
    0
  • Cade looked as if he'd been slapped.

    0
    0
  • If you knew Mr. Cade nearly as well as you think you do, you would know that he is actually very sensitive.

    0
    0
  • It was best to stay out of the entire thing - if they would only let her.

    0
    0
  • If she was, she had picked a poor time.

    0
    0
  • If you decide you want to go, you can leave with us tomorrow morning.

    0
    0
  • Then I wondered if you were putting on a show for her to prove nothing was going on between us.

    0
    0
  • If the show had been for Claudette, would I have been so rough?

    0
    0
  • If you'd fired me, or even hit me...

    0
    0
  • If she hadn't flirted with him, kissing her probably wouldn't have come to mind.

    0
    0
  • And Cade had become more solemn in the last few weeks, as if he sensed her dilemma and felt uncomfortable as well.

    0
    0
  • Of course, if he was already going to the store to get something...

    0
    0
  • Cade knew how to be a friend, even if he didn't know what to say.

    0
    0
  • He tucked her under the covers as if she were a child.

    0
    0
  • If you're feeling up to it.

    0
    0
  • No, if you must know, he was trying to encourage me to get out and date.

    0
    0
  • He rode as if he were part of the horse, his lean body swaying with the stride of the graceful animal.

    0
    0
  • If it was a tornado, standing next to glass doors wasn't the smartest thing to do.

    0
    0
  • Cade still slept peacefully - not that he would have cared if she left at this point anyway.

    0
    0
  • After all, even if it was the right time, it didn't mean pregnancy was inevitable.

    0
    0
  • After all, if she hadn't turned her head when he kissed her on the cheek, maybe things wouldn't have turned out the same way.

    0
    0
  • If he wanted to forget it had ever happened, so much the better.

    0
    0
  • If he wanted to see Mary, why did he have to drag her along?

    0
    0
  • If you want to visit Mary, why don't you go see her?

    0
    0
  • If you're not fighting, why don't you go see her?

    0
    0
  • If you want to go into town for pizza, please don't feel obligated to invite me.

    0
    0
  • Sometimes I wonder if you...

    0
    0
  • If I have any feelings at all?

    0
    0
  • If only he would always be this way.

    0
    0
  • If she went back to the diner she would be lonely and broke.

    0
    0
  • None of this would have happened if they hadn't been alone in the house.

    0
    0
  • If it's that important to you, I guess we could try a few guests.

    0
    0
  • But if this is because you're lonely . . .

    0
    0
  • If you want me to leave you alone, it's done.

    0
    0
  • He paused, as if searching for a tasteful word.

    0
    0
  • If he refrained from making advances, how could she know if she was capable of resisting him?

    0
    0
  • If I didn't bring a horse or something, I'd be afoot from then on.

    0
    0
  • If you dump them evenly you have rows of hay.

    0
    0
  • If you'd only said something - told me how you felt.

    0
    0
  • Cindy, our baby wouldn't be a burden to me even if my financial status was shaky - and it isn't.

    0
    0
  • I noticed you were a good looking woman, if that's what you mean.

    0
    0
  • After that I got to thinking how nice it would be if I had someone to cook me a meal every day.

    0
    0
  • I thought he could stay in one of the rooms upstairs at night – if you don't mind.

    0
    0
  • I've pondered the events of those few months so often and so deeply I know if I don't at least commit the experience to paper I'll never move forward.

    0
    0
  • If you don't think I've seen scars, I'll take you down to hospital ER on any Saturday night.

    0
    0
  • If Howie was stunned he didn't show it as he pulled off his toupee with a smile.

    0
    0
  • How would I know if you were lying?

    0
    0
  • If you're concerned about a messed up head, either shave it all off or comb over the scars.

    0
    0
  • The world will come to an end if he does.

    0
    0
  • Quinn stood, as if addressing a class of incoming freshmen.

    0
    0
  • You could pretend to use the toilet and see if he's all right.

    0
    0
  • He jumped up, as if he'd seen a ghost.

    0
    0
  • I have to mull it around in my head a bit more if you don't mind.

    0
    0
  • What would you do if you saw a flying saucer?

    0
    0
  • Perhaps I'll move further east and see if the plucking is better when the weather is cooler.

    0
    0
  • I guess I'd like a little input from you guys, if you don't mind.

    0
    0
  • Howie, I'm sorry if this vision was disturbing, but it's really interesting.

    0
    0
  • If you think it's capable of something world shattering, you're mistaken.

    0
    0
  • I volunteer to sleep there tonight, if the love of my life is willing to come along.

    0
    0
  • I'm sorry if the lab caused problems, but no one has to sleep there again, at least with Quinn's gizmos operating.

    0
    0
  • If something occurs that is thought to be impossible, it either isn't impossible or it didn't occur.

    0
    0
  • It should be Howie's choice if he wants to take this matter forward.

    0
    0
  • If you have concerns, what are they?

    0
    0
  • If nothing happens, we can eliminate one possibility.

    0
    0
  • All experiments are fruitful if you don't have any preconceived notions about the results.

    0
    0
  • If Betsy and I were forced to share it, we wouldn't get much sleep.

    0
    0
  • I'll try it again, if you folks won't think I'm a fool.

    0
    0
  • There was murmured sound downstairs and Betsy asked from outside the door if there was a problem.

    0
    0
  • I'm ready to try again if you guys are willing.

    0
    0
  • Betsy was frustrated; anxious to learn if the town of Alder's Bridge existed.

    0
    0
  • Granted, that's a step in the right direction but we still wouldn't know if the scene Howie saw actually occurred.

    0
    0
  • We don't know if Quinn's paraphernalia has anything to do with your dreams.

    0
    0
  • Think of the possibilities if by the remote chance Howie is envisioning the past!

    0
    0
  • If Howie drops into ten or twenty minutes of anyone's life, chance are all he sees is them picking their nose, reading a book or working.

    0
    0
  • Think how much worse you'd feel if the town you visualized really existed.

    0
    0
  • The conversation slipped back to our New York life with our sojourn in New Hampshire relegated to a fun, if bizarre weekend with friends.

    0
    0
  • But if Brockville is just like Howie described, we have to get Quinn and Howie on the same page.

    0
    0
  • Even if Brockville proved to be all he described, what would that tell us?

    0
    0
  • If Brockville is the Alder's Bridge I saw I'll probably faint.

    0
    0
  • If you could point me in the right direction, I'll be on my way.

    0
    0
  • It's as if the town died.

    0
    0
  • As if on cue, an old car with more rust than clear metal chugged to a stop at the dollar store.

    0
    0
  • We asked if there was anyone around who might still be living who would remember that far back.

    0
    0
  • It's like a gift I've been given and I'm supposed to do something with it and if I don't, I'm...

    0
    0
  • I'm sure if he sees how important this is to you, he'll relent.

    0
    0
  • My acquiescence lightened the mood for the remainder of the trip as Betsy and Howie chatted as if future sessions were a faite accompli.

    0
    0
  • Quinn will think were requesting something like a séance or spiritual encounter but if we don't humor Howie, he'll be devastated.

    0
    0
  • If I didn't have a pregnant wife practically begging me, I wouldn't even be making this phone call.

    0
    0
  • Objects attract if their charges are different or repel if they are the same.

    0
    0
  • That's not my field but I'm not sure if anyone is producing serious study.

    0
    0
  • I do remember some theories concerning relativity suggesting some sort of motion in space might allow time travel if space-time geometrics are possible.

    0
    0
  • That theorizes if you travel in time and kill your grandfather before your father is conceived, would you simply not be?

    0
    0
  • If I thought Howie might have difficulty napping, I was dead wrong.

    0
    0
  • We don't even know if the plants have anything to do with it.

    0
    0
  • When I rose and asked if we were ready to begin another session, he was eager to join us on our trek to the basement.

    0
    0
  • I'm a scientist and if I don't know an answer, I seek counsel from sharper brains.

    0
    0
  • I feel as if I'm spying.

    0
    0
  • If I can somehow utilize this gift I can't do it without all your help.

    0
    0
  • Then he started feeling guilty, as if he was doing something wrong.

    0
    0
  • Instead we speculated on what we'd personally do if we had this gift or curse and it proved to be a true trip to the past.

    0
    0
  • We all agreed but I silently wondered what our collective reaction would be if the opposite occurred!

    0
    0
  • Just think if it's successful.

    0
    0
  • Betsy screamed, It's like if The Lord Jesus was standing here, writing a mother's day card to the Virgin Mary, you'd be sitting around on your asses discussing if it was really the month of May!

    0
    0
  • I just know I'll burst into tears or not know how to answer if they ask questions.

    0
    0
  • When I retrieved it, she was asking if I'd tried to intervene.

    0
    0
  • If they found you out, the assault on you from every quarter would be unimaginable.

    0
    0
  • I mean, if you were willing.

    0
    0
  • Not if we're careful and not if it isn't false!

    0
    0
  • God, if this ability became widespread, it would be an assault of secrecy itself!

    0
    0
  • He's got this weird thing like if he sees himself, he'll self-destruct or something.

    0
    0
  • I don't know what, if anything, Howie saw but he knew Quinn tricked him and he went ballistic.

    0
    0
  • Then he said, 'you guys have this history when you were kids,' as if he was left out.

    0
    0
  • But if Quinn got drunk and slept with Betsy, like years ago, you'd understand and forgive her, wouldn't you?

    0
    0
  • Then Howie asked if we'd try to run a session this weekend, long distance, by phone.

    0
    0
  • We weren't sure what to do or even if we should report Howie's feelings.

    0
    0
  • We would have arrived earlier if we'd driven.

    0
    0
  • And recognize we have a life, even if it's only by necessity; the bills keep coming and I get hungry once in a while.

    0
    0
  • We would restrict our altruistic activity to weekends and possibly an evening or two a week by phone, if it worked.

    0
    0
  • If I take on this job, my word is law.

    0
    0
  • If anyone could trace a disposable phone, they could.

    0
    0
  • If you want to speak to an agent, you best leave your number.

    0
    0
  • We won't hassle you if that's what you're worried about.

    0
    0
  • I don't know how you're doing what you do but I got a strong feeling if I keep an open mind, good things will happen.

    0
    0
  • He asked if there were others and I told him about two.

    0
    0
  • I had the feeling if I hadn't, he might have chased them down himself.

    0
    0
  • If we can show them it's in their best interests to work with us and let us keep our privacy we're far better off.

    0
    0
  • If he can get us better and timelier information and direct us to the best place to call in our tips, we're miles ahead.

    0
    0
  • If what I'm seeing isn't some kind of joke, I'm at the end of the yellow brick road.

    0
    0
  • If any of this gets out, no more tips; it's finished.

    0
    0
  • Agreed. If those tips can continue, I'll do anything you say.

    0
    0
  • You won't know if the source is male or female, old or young, from the east or west or how long the tips will keep coming.

    0
    0
  • If we could convince him to give you free rein to helping us with him remaining totally in the dark, we'd both have what we want.

    0
    0
  • Frankly, if you can convince him, it will take a lot of heat off me.

    0
    0
  • If successful, I was appointed to request what I felt was needed.

    0
    0
  • I'd be lying if I didn't admit we have expenses and we're limited in what we can do because of real life restraints, but we're not in this for a golden purse.

    0
  • The man summoned me, on Sunday, if you can believe it!

    0
    0

  • His name is Merrill Cooms, Brennan stated, sounding as if I should know the man.

    0

  • Betsy absented herself, feeling it unfair to listen if the other couldn't.

    0
    0
  • I thought he would jump at a chance to devote more time to experimentation even if it wasn't as broad as he wished.

    0

  • We stumbled into an incredible gift that was bestowed on Howie and we couldn't live with ourselves or look at one another if we didn't embrace everything in our power to maximize its benefits.

    0
    0
  • To ask Brennan directly might lead to us so I made up a story we were checking old cases to see if someone released from prison might have returned to this type of crime.
