When he was with Herodias, he thought as she did, and left her, almost resolved to give the fatal order; but when he was alone, the other influence made itself felt, and he would send for John: "I would like to see him again, chamberlain tell the gaoler to send the Baptist hither; let his coming to my private room be, however, kept secret. I don't want all my court blabbing."
When I say right Romanly, I mean that they kept to themselves, and were not much given to blabbing about their private matters in promiscuous company.
I knew it was about time for you to reach that point. We all do at certain times." "Why?" "Disenchantment. Disillusionment. Besides, I hear the city desk has been horsing you." "Then some one has been blabbing." "Oh, those things ooze out. Can't keep 'em in. Besides, all city desks do that to cubs who come up too fast. It's part of the discipline. Like hazing."
"But we must give some reason for coming here, and we must ask her to keep dark, or we'll have her blabbing to the first person she meets," urged the other. "She's not likely to see anybody before night, when the brig will be in and the men and guns landed. Move on, and let Jim take soundings off the cove, while I look along the shore.
He looked at Valentine; from Valentine to the physician. What did it mean, this mention of the past? That blabbing fool George had talked to his friend of the days in Fitzgeorge Street, no doubt; and Valentine had blabbed Mr. Sheldon's antecedents to the physician. Was this what it all meant? Or did it mean more than this?
"Why, there's not a soul that can hear us!" said Mrs. Riccabocca, soothingly. "'That's chance, ma'am! If you once contract the habit of blabbing out a secret when nobody's by, how on earth can you resist it when you have the pleasurable excitement of telling it to all the world? Vanity, vanity, woman's vanity! Woman never could withstand rank, never!"
I answered he was a passenger, and then, not understanding that the thing was a secret, plainly told him what they had been doing in the cabin, and why. "But," said he, "those two niggers'll know that something precious is to be hidden in the place they've been making." "That's been in my head all the morning," said I. "Who's to hinder them," said he, "from blabbing to one or more of the crew?
"My father was a clergyman, Henriette, and I'm something of a churchman myself, and I won't stoop to such baseness. Besides, what's to prevent my wife from blabbing when we try to ship her?" "H'm!" mused Henriette. "I hadn't thought of that it would be dangerous, wouldn't it?"
There was a touch of the truth in these words that knocked me like a blow: clothes, a bottle of usquebaugh, and three-and-fivepence- halfpenny in change made up, indeed, the most of what Alan and I had carried from Auchurn; and I saw that some of James's people had been blabbing in their dungeons. "You see I know more than you fancied," he resumed in triumph.
What is Miss Bertram's Christian name to you?" "Never mind. Her Christian name, and she herself also, are a good deal to me. As to blabbing, I never blab; I saw her, she spoke to me; I slept at the lodge; I returned home to-day." "You walked home?" "Yes, and I am dead tired; I want to go to bed now." "You can't for a few minutes. I have a few words to say first.
