Mary Antin says she doesn't believe in God!" Rachel Goldstein's horror is duplicated. Kitty Maloney, who used to mock Rachel's Jewish accent, instantly becomes her voluble ally, and proceeds to annihilate me by plying me with crucial questions. "You don't believe in God? Then who made you, Mary Antin?" "Nature made me." "Nature made you! What's that?" "It's everything.
But to-night it is really warm." Lady Locke took off her cloak quietly, and laid it down on a chair. She looked fresh and healthy, but rather emotional. She had not been to "Faust" for such a long time, that to-night she had been deeply moved, despite the intercepting chatter of her companions.

Langley was extremely voluble to Whitson that night over his new acquaintance.

He was voluble and vehement. He said that the Vigilance organization acknowledged no authority to be superior to itself. "We have," he continued in loud tone and gasconading temper, "proved ourselves the superiors of the City and County, government, and of the State government; and if the Federal government dares" He got no further.
They would send for it later, they told me." This was unusually voluble from this man. Robin looked at him quickly, and away again. "What party?" he said. "The gentlemen you were with this two nights past, sir," said the landlord keenly. Robin was aware of a feeling as if a finger had been laid on his heart; but not a muscle of his face moved. "Indeed!" he said. "They told me nothing of it."
But the talk was not easy; Barbara's eyes were so round, and the widow kept mincing her words. Only when they were joined by Mistress Stagg, to whom the widow became voluble, the two girls spoke aside. "I have a guinea, Barbara," said Audrey. "Mr. Stagg gave it to me, and I need it not, I need naught in the world. Barbara, here! 'tis for a warm dress and a Sunday hood."
