"Oh, are you going right away?" said the Colonel politely, and O'Flynn volubly protested.

"Where are you going now?" "Andrew and I are on our way to the Oklahoma, the steamship frozen in the ice below here."
Swearing volubly, the sheriff turned his attention to that far end of the hall where the deputies who had not been engaged in the struggle with Mrs. Nitschkan stood guard over Gallito and Flick, who had ranged themselves before the crimson curtain of Pearl's dressing room. Two men, three, counting José behind the curtain, against at least twenty!
There was that still unexplained something hanging over Davies's head, but as yet he knew nothing of it, had never heard of the allegations so vehemently, volubly laid at his door when Captain Devers had his own portals to clear. Nor was the latter now given to faintest reference to the matter. This at first glance may seem inconsistent, yet has its explanation.
The Cardinal, still seated, held the two hands of the nun in one of his, and with the other he imposed silence upon his stupefied agent, who remained motionless, not yet seeing the face of this woman. She spoke volubly, and the strange things she said contrasted horribly with the sweetness of her voice. Richelieu seemed moved. "Yes, I will stab him with a knife.
Old Tom marched him through the wonderful amber twilight to the summit of the bluff behind the engine-house whence Gard could just make out his box and carpet-bag still lying on the quay below.

The right man goes to the right place at the exact right time then, and the fool goes to the wall. In that one respect war is better than some kinds of peace.

Presently she spoke, and her voice sounded as if she were in a great empty cask, with her mouth at the bunghole. "Who did this?" she asked. Mrs. Tolbridge was glad to talk; it suited her much better at this time to do the talking than for her companion to do it, and she proceeded quite volubly.
Baffled, she wandered through the maze of rocky passages, and encountered Madre Dolores, who, realising that she was on a sort of tour of exploration, showed her various cell-like apartments, gabbling away volubly but unintelligibly all the while, before conducting her to a great cave at the end of the labyrinth, a cave in which there were mules and asses tethered to rings fixed into the walls, and men of all ages and in all sorts of garb were taking their ease, smoking, drinking and playing cards or throwing dice.
Len Shi, though quaking with alarm, bore himself with a certain dignified stoicism until he found out where the car was apparently stopping. Then he said something in a panic-stricken voice and the jute merchant, who spoke English fluently, turned to Furneaux. "Tell the chauffeur to return," he said. "Len Shi will now confess." Once started, Len Shi talked volubly.
She discoursed volubly about her long and adventurous journey of three-quarters of an hour's duration, and Mrs Wallace's guests looked on with smiling faces, putting an occasional laborious question as she appeared to be reaching the end of her story.
