They do seem such children, do they not, compared with old folks like you and me?"
The man looked on her flashing beauty; and in the madness of his desire to possess it he forgot his awe of her. "God! How beautiful you are!" was forced from his breast like a groan. "You poison a man's blood!" His speech came in thick blurts like clotting blood. "What business have you got up here?
I gave you hay to sit on. See what fine weather it has been! What beautiful scenery! Yonder is the church ... the wineshop, the...." "Hold hard, my good man. The Universe, our salvation by Christ, why don't you charge for these as well! Here's sixpence to buy yourself a drink." The driver takes the sixpence and looks at it, makes a calculation, and then blurts out: "What!
Why, the man has a sick wife and he goes to see a rich lady neighbour of course he is a scoundrel! It is obvious that he is killing his wife in order to marry an heiress. Lvov is honest and straightforward, and he blurts out the truth without sparing himself. If necessary, he will throw a bomb at a carriage, give a school inspector a blow in the face, or call a man a scoundrel.

"Oh!" says Miss Hampton, liftin' her eyebrows a little. "I brought him along," blurts out Mr. Robert, "to tell you about how you happened to get the roses." "Really!" says she.

Alonzo is this kind: I met him the day Gussie Himebaugh had her accident when the mules she was driving to the mowing machine run away out on Himebaugh's east forty. Alonzo had took Doc Maybury out and passes me coming back. 'How bad was she hurt? I asks. The poor thing looks down greatly embarrassed and mumbles: 'She has broken a limb. 'Leg or arm?
