"Because their fathers can spend four or five hundred pounds to buy votes!" returned Mrs. Mangan, laughing at him. "Is that news to you? Lie down child, and don't be looking at me like that! I haven't a vote to sell!" Larry subsided with vague splutterings. Nurse came to his bedside and smoothed the clothes.
As he disappeared the men in the car broke into barely-subdued splutterings of laughter, and crowding to the door, waited expectantly. With an air of responsibility and determination the clerk made his way between the adjacent cars. There were six tracks filled with the long trains of construction material.
The next moment another head broke water alongside him, and as it did so a voice which Dick instantly recognised ejaculated, amidst a fusillade of coughs and splutterings "B-r-r-ur!

So easy to pick out the dull thunder roar from those other crackling splutterings that followed at once. What was that? Could they be fighting in the open?

The rhubarb can proved to be an old one containing heavy gun grease! When finally we parted with our faithful cook we bought him a really wonderful many bladed knife as a present.
The officer of the morning watch, drinking his early cup of coffee aft by the wheel, would hear through the wide orifice of the copper ventilators all the splashings, blowings, and splutterings of his captain's toilet.
