"I'll get you yet, old feller," he was heard to mutter, as they heard the wildcat emit a mocking, tantalizing cry at some little distance away. "You see if I don't, now!" And when Steve once set his mind upon accomplishing anything, he generally got there, for he was very persistent.
A slinky man comes up at his elbow and starts to talk out of the side of his mouth. "Say, mister " "Oh, go to hell!" and the man fades away again, without even looking startled, to mutter "Well, you needn' be so damn peeved about it I'll say you needn' be so damn peeved whatcha think you are, anyhow Marathon Mike?" as Oliver's feet take Oliver swiftly away from him. Nancy.
Gleam of a thousand lights; clack and mutter of innumerable voices, laughter, footsteps; hiss and rumble of passing trains taking gamblers back to Nice or Mentone; fevered wailing from the violins of four fiddlers with dark-white skins outside the cafe; and above, around, beyond, the dark sky, and the dark mountains, and the dark sea, like some great dark flower to whose heart is clinging a jewelled beetle.
I heard Ahab mutter, 'Here some one thrusts these cards into these old hands of mine; swears that I must play them, and no others. And damn me, Ahab, but thou actest right; live in the game, and die in it!"

"Certes, 't is true, and thou knowest it better than I, for when, later on, he came to give thee a drink and wet thy forehead and lips, thou didst give him back his kiss right tenderly, and mutter something of 'love' and 'darling." "I kissed Myles Standish!" cried Priscilla wildly.

Iskender could only mutter, shamefaced, when the Frank addressed him. "Why did you deceive me? I thought you were well off, or I should never have accepted all those presents. Now you must please accept a trifle from me."
He made for the door, and with his hand on it, turned. "What do you expect from from what we've just heard?" he asked. Spargo shrugged his shoulders. "Wait until we hear what Mr. Aylmore has to say," he answered. "I suppose this man Marbury was some old acquaintance." Breton closed the door and went away: left alone, Spargo began to mutter to himself. "Good God!" he says.
The attorneys whom he had employed in London received his instructions with surprise and evident misgiving; however, they could only obey, and mutter something of their sorrow that such heavy costs should only fall upon their own employer, especially as nothing was wanting but perseverance to throw them on the opposite party.

This was in the last part of the freshman year, and later on I became a sort of amateur, class poet-laureate. Many were the skits I composed, and Tom sang them.... During that freshman year we often encountered Hermann Krebs, whistling merrily, on the stairs. "Got your themes done?" he would inquire cheerfully.
