Brewster thought it was the tale of the trip and the trials throughout the blizzard, and they cared little for what had passed as long as all were safe and happy again. But Polly blurted out the truth to make them listen. "I found Montresor's gold mine, Paw!" It hit the mark! In the shock the news made upon the Brewsters, no one noticed Polly's slip on the old pet title.
"A lesson not to lend her money to Isa"; and then, when I asked what she meant, she blurted out that all Isa's so-called share of the subscription for Maude Harris had been advanced by Avice Pica had told her so, with comments on her sister's folly in lending what she well knew would never be repaid; and Alice could not deny it, only defending herself by saying, she could not sacrifice the girl.
"Oh, oh!" blurted Mulholland, "I am better out of this; for I little care to be called as a witness in divorce." He rose from his chair, but I pushed him back, and he did not leave till "the cool of the evening." The next morning, at breakfast-time, a rouseabout brought us a piece of paper which had been nailed to the sandal-tree. On it was written: "We have gone for the Bunyip. We travel on foot!
It's the other critter that you want to be gettin' your muscle up for the feller that was tryin' to get the widder and the property away from you. All the other evidence now bein' in, you may tell the court, my son, who was that 'sezzer. You sha'n't be hurt!" "It was Mister Batson Reeves, the second selectman," blurted the youth.
With chin resting on his arms, he stared out over the sill and sought from the space before him, and from the intricacies of his own mind, the hint he lacked to make this present solution of the case satisfactory to all his instincts. "Something is lacking." Thus he blurted out after a look behind him into the adjoining room of death.
Deacon Tolman run in an' told what kind of doin's there was goin' to be to-morrow. He was full of it, an' he blurted it all out to once." "About Senator Gilman coming?" "Yes." "And their trimming up the hall for him to speak in, and his writing on it was his boyhood's home and he shouldn't die happy unless he'd come back and seen it once more?" "Yes. That's about it."
He had supposed that his own fancies were but weak reflections of what was in the innermost heart of the woman he loved so. He blurted out, almost roughly: "'Portia is Brutus' harlot, not his wife." Then added, bitterly, "It is the man who is saying it this time, you see." A second later, shame-faced and repentant, he had caught the slender figure in his arms and was holding it close to him.
Mrs Bray was in great form during those days, and though her assertions frequently lacked logic, and betrayed in her the very shortcomings which she railed against in men, nevertheless I liked her, for she blurted out that with which the little quiet woman rules by keeping it in the background, well hidden under seeming humility.
'I knew a family of your name, repeated she, seeing Sponge was half asleep 'the Sponges of Toadey Hall. Pray are they any relation of yours? 'Oh ah yes, blurted Sponge: 'I suppose they are. The fact is the haw Sponges haw are a rather large family haw. Meet them almost everywhere. 'You don't live in the same county, perhaps? observed Mrs. Jawleyford. 'No, we don't, replied he, with a yawn.
So I rashly blurted out my feelings and left her, never dreaming who had heard me nor what meaning my words would carry. Down at the Whately home Richard Tillhurst sat, bland and smiling, waiting for Miss Whately's return. I sat down to wait also.
