A thousand times have I made this apostrophe to the departed sons of men, but not one of them has ever thought fit to answer the question. "O that some courteous ghost would blab it out!" but it cannot be; you and I, my friend, must make the experiment by ourselves, and for ourselves.
"You always think you're the only one that can do anything right." "I wish you had been here, Polly," said Huldah, "I am sure you could have worked it through somehow." "I wish I had stayed and put it across," he answered. "If you and the kids would only learn not to blab everything you know. It's the only way to work anything. Minute you tell a thing, it's all off."
"Here, stop!" interrupted Gowan, breaking abruptly into the conversation, and turning two blazing blue eyes on Laurette. "Anything Miss Herbert may have told you was certainly in confidence, and to go and blab it over the school seems to me the meanest, sneakiest trick I've ever heard of!

USTÍNYA NAÚMOVNA. If you know something, tell me what it is: I suppose your tongue won't fall off. PODKHALYÚZIN. That's the point of the thing that I can't tell it. USTÍNYA NAÚMOVNA. Why can't you? Why do you hesitate to tell me, my jewel? Go ahead, talk it doesn't matter what it is. PODKHALYÚZIN. It's not a matter of conscience. But if I tell you, of course you'll go and blab!
"He'll go and tell folks we've got this here swag from the ship, and it'll go to the boss. That's what he knows, and that's what he'll blab." "Well, what we've got is our'n. He can't prove we've got that there swag, and we'll hide it where the boss can't find it. He hain't seen any swag around, has he? He can't say he has neither, and he won't. He just thought maybe we had that there fox skin.
No ten persons in Kennett possessed half the amount of confidences which were intrusted to this single lady; there was that in her face which said: "I only blab what I choose, and what's locked up, is locked up." This was true; she was the greatest distributor of news, and the closest receptacle of secrets anomalous as the two characters may seem that ever blessed a country community.
And he looked very strangely at me, and said "Your father, Paul Martel," and I deemed him crazy. "My poor Rachel!" he groaned. "We must hide it. She must not know. She must never know. My God! Why did I blab it out?" "Uncle George!" I said soothingly, and laid my hand on his shoulder, for I made sure his wound had upset his brain. "Give me time, Phil. I am not crazy. Give me time.
"He is afraid the king might blab out to me a little of that diabolical work which they will commence at midnight. Well, I call the devil, as well as the king, my brother, and with his help I too will be in the green-room at midnight. Ah, the queen is retiring; and there is the Duke of Norfolk leaving the hall.
"Night before last a strange man got tipsy in our village and began to blab and talk. He asked for a bottle without a bottom, and for some woollen rags. He was suspected of having a dynamite project, and the mayor was fetched at one in the morning to look after him, so he arrested him and took him to Autun at two a.m.
I declined his offer, assigning as a reason the recent death of Mrs. Herne, of which I was the cause, although innocent. 'A pretty life I should lead with those two, said I, 'when they came to know it. 'Pooh, said Mr. Petulengro, 'they will never know it.
