Formed at first of friends, or, at least, of comrades who had worked and suffered together, these reunions had enlarged gradually, until one day the rooms at the Hotel des Medicis became a 'parlotte' where preachers of ideas and of new religions, thinkers, reformers, apostles, politicians, aesthetes, and even babblers in search of ears more or less complaisant that would listen to them, met together.
"I am a patriot, signore! and not only in opposition to my beast of a wife, I assure you: a downright patriot, I mean." Merthyr was tempted to discharge him at first, but controlled his English antipathy to babblers, and discovered him to be a serviceable fellow. Toward nightfall they heard shots up a rock-strewn combe of the lower slopes; desultory shots indicating rifle-firing at long range.
I heeded him little, and as little the other noisy babblers, who now on their feet those that could stand were spurring me excitedly to accept the challenge, until from being one of the baiters it seemed that of a sudden the tables were turned and I was become the baited. I sat in thought, revolving the business in my mind, and frankly liking it but little.
The treaty was adopted almost unanimously, there being only fourteen dissentient voices, and the proportion of black balls in the Legislative Body was even less. Though this discussion passed off almost unnoticed, yet it greatly displeased the First Consul, who expressed his dissatisfaction in the evening. "What is it," said he, "these babblers want?
Once marry, and you join the noble army of foot-pads, leeches, vultures, paupers, gone coons, and babblers about brats and I disown you." There was no hope from old Crusty. Christopher left him, snubbed and heart-sick. At last he met a sensible man, who made him see there was no short cut in that profession.
They, in their turn, did not venture to express themselves regarding you with the same frankness, since they were dependent upon you; but their innermost thought was this, that, with a few exceptions, you were shallow babblers and inflated braggarts, dilettante who have only passed through school, blind gropers and creepers in the old rut who had neither wish nor ability for aught else.
As the great Frederick said, "There are no neutrals where there is war." Ignorant advocates and babblers have asked, in the Club of Clichy, why we occupy the territory of Venice. These declaimers should learn war, and they would know that the Adige, the Brenta, and the Tagliamento, where we have been fighting for two years, are within the Venetian States.
That he would implant in us love, when there was nothing to love; and faith, when there was nothing to believe?" Harold seemed struck. "You speak plain, reasonable words not like the vain babblers of contradictory creeds. Yet you do profess a creed you join in the Church's service?"
Information is full of traps; knowledge avoids them, it reads men; and politics is men and foreign affairs, perhaps! She is remarkable. I've made some hay in the political world, not so much as the babblers think, but I hadn't her ability at twenty-five." "Why didn't she see through Eglington?" "My dear Betty, he didn't give her time. He carried her off her feet. You know how he can talk."
But the fault is not so much yours as that of her who brought you in to us. Then she tucked up her sleeves and smote three times on the floor, saying, 'Come quickly! Whereupon the door of a closet opened and out came seven black slaves, with drawn swords in their hands, to whom said the lady, 'Bind these babblers' hands behind them and tie them one with another. The slaves did as she bade, and said, 'O noble lady, is it thy will that we strike off their heads? 'Hold your hands awhile, answered she, 'till I question them of their condition, before ye strike off their heads. 'By Allah, O my lady, exclaimed the porter 'do not slay me for another's fault, for all have erred and offended save myself.
