She would not ask him to join her in her walk, though he had once expressed a desire to visit the grave of Uncle True, for he and Emily were talking together so contentedly, it would have been a pity to disturb them; and Gertrude's reflections were engrossed by the thought of their tranquil happiness.
Apparently he found me satisfactory. The smile which had been lurking about the corners of his mouth broadened to a grin, and I commenced wondering uncomfortably what there was funny about my appearance.

Sit down here by the table and I’ll sit beside you and look at you, and go on talking. You shall keep quiet and I’ll go on talking, for the time has come. But on reflection, you know, I’d better speak quietly, for here—here—you can never tell what ears are listening. I will explain everything; as they say, ‘the story will be continued.’ Why have I been longing for you?
We don't know what ears walls may have, sir, or to whom we may be talking; and as a man of the world, and an old soldier an old and distinguished soldier, I have been told, Captain Strong you know very well that there is no use in throwing away your fire; you may have your ideas, and I may put two and two together and have mine.
Sure, you might as well be talking, do you know, to a flaming chamber-pot as talking to Temple. Go home, Temple. For God's sake, go home.

But he can get past with the people they'll think it more or less bluff, anyway, even it's Varden Waymouth talking. But the kind of dishonesty you're standing for, Luke, won't get past. They'll ride you out of this State on a rail and I'll furnish the rail." "I'll furnish something more!" cried Harlan, unable to restrain himself any longer.
After that Lasse and Pelle had to think about getting home, and began to tie handkerchiefs round their necks; but the others did not want to let them go yet. They went on talking, and Kalle made jokes to keep them a little longer.
He is certainly the best secretary your father ever had. I'm sure I don't know what we should do without him. He knows everything that a gentleman should." "And a good deal more, I wager," growled Jefferson. "He wasn't groom of the backstairs to England's queen for nothing." Then changing the topic, he said suddenly: "Talking about Kate, mother, we have got to reach some definite understanding.
Never since she was a very little child had Gypsy been known to say what was not true. All her words were like her eyes—clear as sunbeams. At dinner Joy did all the talking.
