Monmouth, whose wits were sharp enough, had gained scent of it; the wits went out as the wine went in, and he blurted out what he suspected, robbing his knowledge of all value by betraying its possession. Our best knowledge lies in what we are not known to know. I repaired, thoughtful and disturbed, to my own small chamber, next the Duke's; but the night was fine and I had no mind for sleep.
We had adjourned to the office. Snaffle had been drinking a bit and got angered and flustered when Riggs cross-examined him. One thing led to another, and finally in exasperation he blurted out, 'I'm sick of being called the accuser of Mr. Lanier. By God, I've defended him! I've hidden worse things than ever I told you yet, and now I'll stand it no longer! You twit me with spying and slandering.
Then his look changed to one of such complete contempt, and withal his bearing suggested so plainly that he knew beforehand what I was going to say, that I blurted out defiantly, and without stopping to choose my words: "I think it an infernal shame that you, her brother, should allow her to masquerade about with this good-natured but eccentric Metford girl I should say Miss Metford."
"Mahr's dead murdered!" he blurted out, as if startled by the news. They nodded. "Yes, we knew. But," Denning added, "we didn't want to upset you any further. It came out on the ticker at eleven. How are you feeling?" he asked with friendly solicitude. "I wish you'd eat something you've not touched anything but coffee for nearly twenty-four hours." "I can't," said Gard grimly.
"Where is the er ah sanatorium?" he blurted out at last. "The what?" she asked. "There is no sanatorium near here, your majesty, unless you refer to the Castle of Blentz." "Is there no asylum for the insane near by?" "None that I know of, your majesty." For a while they moved on in silence, each wondering what the other might do next. Barney had evolved a plan.
As he staggered up and tried to balance himself, he blurted out some unmeaning twaddle in his native language which I took to be a species of greeting.
"At first I hesitated whether to warn you of your peril after Weirmarsh had, with such dastardly cunning, betrayed you to the French police, but well," he added as he looked again into her dear eyes long and earnestly, "I loved you, Enid," he blurted forth. "I told you so! Remember, dear, what you said at Biarritz? And I love you and because of that I resolved to save you!"
For the first time Twinkleheels noticed that Ebenezer had many good points. There wasn't a single bunch on his legs. And his muscles showed plainly as they rippled on his lean frame beneath a coat that was both short and fine. "I don't believe I could beat you if we raced a hundred times," Twinkleheels blurted. "Of course you couldn't!" the Muley Cow interrupted again.
"There is your Aunt," he said; "there are things to be considered one must certainly inquire so, we shall see." Kissing Greta loudly on both cheeks, he went towards the house. "What makes you want to paint us?" Christian asked, as soon as he was gone. "I think it very wrong," Miss Naylor blurted out. "Why?" said Harz, frowning. "Greta is so young there are lessons it is such a waste of time!"
It was quite clear that Bobby didn't want to answer that question. But Old Mother Nature insisted, and finally Bobby blurted it out. "I was up to Farmer Brown's hen house," said he. "What for?" asked Old Mother Nature. "Oh, just to look around," replied Bobby. "To look around for what?" insisted Old Mother Nature.
