She and Margaret French discussed the matter a little, sotto voce, while Margaret went on with the invitations and Lady Tranmore made a French toy dance and spin for the babe's amusement. Their tone was one of close and friendly intimacy, an intimacy based clearly upon one common interest their relation to Kitty.
If getting billets is William's job, getting rid of them is the Babe's affair. William, like myself, has far too great a mastery of the patois to handle delicate situations with success.

The satin flesh he massaged, to renew the flow of the dammed blood, was soft and tender like a babe's.
The captain and his mate enjoyed their supper, while Carne in the distance bore the pangs of a malady called bulimus, that is to say, a giant's ravening for victuals, without a babe's power of receiving them. For he was turning the corner of his sickness now, but prostrate and cold as a fallen stalactite. "Aha! We have done well. We have warmed our wits up.
She scraped about in the inky darkness, but her fingers touched nothing. The babe's mother had forgotten to put out the pail!

Moreover, there did not seem to be so many bees buzzing about the hole." The Babe's eyes grew so round with inquiry at this point that Uncle Andy felt bound to explain.
Hall raved about its unblemished perfection and massive strength, and wrote a brochure on it for the Dublin Medical Society as the most interesting case of the sort in his long career.
