We afterwards found that the mate stuttered: I suppose all hands were assisting him in giving his orders. On the 11th we anchored at Valparaiso, and two days afterwards I set out to cross the Cordillera. I proceeded to Santiago, where Mr. Caldcleugh most kindly assisted me in every possible way in making the little preparations which were necessary.
Cyriax had heard that Kuni was dying, and fearing that he might be obliged to pay the funeral expenses he stuttered to the bystanders, with passionate gestures, that an hour ago he had discharged the cripple whom he had dragged about with him, out of sheer sympathy, long enough. She was nothing more to him now than the cock in the courtyard, which was crowing to greet the approach of dawn.
She stuttered, stammered, yelled, suddenly recovering her voice to cast forth an insult or a curse. He seized her hands without her having noticed it. She did not seem to see anything, so taken up was she in scolding and relieving her feelings. And suddenly she began to weep. The tears flowed from her eyes, but this did not stop her complaints.
He stuttered, he contradicted himself, he perspired, he all but wept Colt. Are you sure you had no spite against him? Deft. No. Colt. You are not sure, eh? This candid interpretation of his words knocked the defendant stupid. He made no reply, but looked utterly flabbergasted. Colt. Did he not provoke you? Did he not call you an idiot. Deft. He might. Colt. Of course he might. Deft. No.
Bates's daughter and assistant, the two, plus a whiskered Bates, gardener and groom, forming the domestic establishment presided over by Grant. "Nun-no, sir," stuttered the housekeeper. "It's stupid of me. But I'm not so young as I was, an' me heart jumps at little things." Grant saw that she was recovering, though slowly.
"Leave her alone, you brigand! I'll put the police on to you." Bijard growled like an animal being disturbed, and stuttered: "Mind your own business a bit, Limper. Perhaps you'd like me to put gloves on when I stir her up. It's merely to warm her, as you can plainly see simply to show her that I've a long arm." And he gave a final lash with the whip which caught Lalie across the face.
From somewhere further forrard, the Old Man and the Second Mate came running aft. "What the devil's up now?" sung out the Second, stopping and bending to stare at me. "What's to do, that you're away from the wheel?" I stood up and tried to answer him; but I was so shaken that I could only stammer. "I I there " I stuttered. "Damnation!" shouted the Second Mate, angrily. "Get back to the wheel!"
As that of which I already knew the contents had now to be stuttered in a strange gibberish, in which a certain snuffle and gargle were not a little commended as something unattainable, I in a certain degree deviated from the matter, and diverted myself, in a childish way, with the singular names of these accumulated signs. But even these shallow jests soon lost their charm.
And she pulled a letter out of her pocket. "It is true, and much more too true. Mr. Lloyd here knows this to be true. Is it not so, Mr. Lloyd? If this is not true, speak." The poor old Don turned his eyes imploringly toward Lloyd, like a man hanging on his last hope, but Lloyd, the beast! mumbled and stuttered something or other. Betty ran to him, caught him by the arm and shook him.
She stuttered habitually, but her delivery was never impeded by this defect on the stage; a curious circumstance, not uncommon to persons who have that infirmity, and who can read and recite without suffering from it, though quite unable to speak fluently. Mrs. Inchbald was a person of a very remarkable character, lovely, poor, with unusual mental powers and of irreproachable conduct.
