Ninian seized a cushion and put it behind his back. "Let's have a good old argle-bargle," he said. "What do you say, Quinny?" Henry, who had not joined in the discussion, leant forward and smiled. "Oh, I like listening to you," he answered. "You're all so sure of yourselves!..." Gilbert turned on him. "Well, aren't you sure of yourself?" he demanded. "No, I'm not," Henry answered. "I never am!"
Henry had a shy unwillingness to discuss himself in front of the others, although they were his closest friends. He felt that he could not sit still while they watched him as he told them of his ambitions and his fears. "Oh, don't let's talk about me," he said. "Go on with your argle-bargle." He was speaking hurriedly, so that he had difficulty in articulating his words.
"As for all this 'ere argle-bargling about them big things, there's nowt in it, you take my word for that! The little things for argle-bargle, the big uns' for smokin', that's what I sez!

You have taken yon twa brisk lads into composition with you" he nodded toward the brisk lads "the compact being that they were to provide fodder for yonder mine-beastie, so far as in them lies, and, when they should grow short of siller, to seek more for you.
After more argle-bargle he consented to give me the visa on condition I went straight to the British Consul at Belgrade and did nothing without his advice. He signed, remarking that he took no responsibility. I paid and left triumphant, all unaware of the hornet's nest I was now free to enter.
In the case I have in mind there were two claimants to the subject-matter the Free Church and the United Free Church and the House of Lords, after a great argle-bargle, decided that the property in question belonged to the Free Church. Thereupon the expected happened.
But he was outwitted. Would that he had always been! After much argle-bargle Europe decided to accept the fait accompli in Bosnia, and not to reassemble the signatory Powers. Serbia did not receive the corridor she demanded through the Sanjak, and signed an agreement accepting the changed state of Bosnia.
