Taken wholly off his guard, Stubbs stuttered and stammered. "You will come?" Nikol repeated again. "Ye-e-s, I'll come," Stubbs articulated at last. Nikol wasted no further time in words, but moved forward perhaps a hundred yards. Then he halted and stood still, waiting. The sound of footsteps drew nearer and still nearer, and then suddenly Nikol sprang forward, silently and swiftly.
"Where am I?" she faintly articulated, as her watchful and tender nurse arose and approached the bed. "You are safe, thank God," said Antoinette bursting into tears.
Therese gave birth to them, Jean-Jacques represented them as foundlings." And Enjolras addressed Courfeyrac roughly: "Silence in the presence of Jean-Jacques! I admire that man. He denied his own children, that may be; but he adopted the people." Not one of these young men articulated the word: The Emperor. Jean Prouvaire alone sometimes said Napoleon; all the others said "Bonaparte."
A well-known substance, called bog-iron ore, often met with in peat-mosses, has often been shown by Ehrenberg to consist of innumerable articulated threads, of a yellow ochre colour, composed of silica, argillaceous matter, and peroxide of iron.

Don't you go out with him looking for food, and don't leave him alone while I'm gone. I've got a bear located. No one can beat me killing bears. I'll bring the bear's heart to you this evening.

"No, mount here, quick," and he drew her up, and set off at full speed. "Now, turn here, now up that hill; now we are there," the lady faintly articulated, as they flew along, and drew up before her father's door. The house at which they had arrived, was the residence of Dr. DeWolf, and the heroine of the adventure, was no other than the Doctor's only daughter, quaintly named, Little Wolf.
The following particulars, which convey some idea of his disposition, and of the assiduous attention bestowed upon him by the Duchesse de Polignac, will be found in a work of that time: "At two years old the Dauphin was very pretty; he articulated well, and answered questions put to him intelligently. While he was at the Chateau de La Muette everybody was at liberty to see him.
They may perhaps think consciously in words now and again, but such thought will be intermittent, and the main part of the fighting will be done without any internal concomitance of articulated phrases.
