Yet Elizabeth persisted in her intent to marry Dudley, until the sober Cecil conveyed to her towards the end of that month of September some notion of the rebellion that was smouldering. She flared out at him, of course. But he stood his ground. "There is," he reminded her, "this unfortunate matter of a prophecy, as the Bishop of Aquila persists in calling it." "God's Body! Is the rogue blabbing?"
"Is that you, Charles?" said the young officer tightening his girth by two buckle holes. "Yes, sir," replied the soldier, showing the white of his teeth. "And all right this morning?" "Yes, thank you, sir." Hardinge vaulted into the saddle at one spring. Then lacing the reins in his left hand, he continued: "Not been blabbing, Charles?" "Oh, no, sir. Mum's my word." "That's right.
Don't you see, if I were to tell you, it would be a proof that I could not keep a secret? And then, if you told it, I could not blame you for blabbing. I don't say there is any secret; but if there is, I must keep it." "I know that you are going into danger, Reuben; else you would not have all those great guns they say there are, on board." "The great guns will keep us out of danger, you see.
But the reporters who "wrote down" General Cox, because he would not make them members of his staff in West Virginia, disgraced their profession. The lies about Sherman's "insanity" and Grant's "intoxication" were shamelessly excused on the plea that they made "good stories." Sherman's insanity, as we have seen already, existed only in the disordered imagination of blabbing old Simon Cameron.
Don't know me, Nanty parnarly, and soap me down for a priest, or I will do for you all, you and your molls and your blunt." "What, do you funk our blabbing?" said Fil-de-Soie. "Have you come to help your boy to guy?" "Theodore!" said Jacques Collin, repressing a start and a cry. "They will have his nut off," la Pouraille went on; "he was booked for the scaffold two months ago."
I tell you everything, Daniel, because I know that you are a true-hearted fellow, and far above all blabbing. I have thought once or twice of obtaining leave to purchase a stout and handy pilot-boat, with her licence and all that transferred to us, and so running to and fro when needful. The only risk then would be from perils of the sea; and even the pressmen dare not meddle with a pilot-boat.
He had been blabbing in his cups, it is said, about the Gowrie affair; certainly most compromising documents, apparently in Logan’s hand, and with his signature, were found on Sprot’s person. They still bear the worn softened look of papers carried for long in the pockets.
The newspaper correspondence that brought this news always close ominously with "postponed." The "coup" was ever the fixed idea of Bonaparte. With this idea he had stepped again upon French soil. It had such full possession of him that he was constantly betraying and blabbing it out. He was so weak that he was as constantly giving it up again.
They are on his trail, but he should be too practised a hand to be caught blabbing. However, one never knows. Nikhil's back is up, and his manager may not be able to have things his own way. "If I get into trouble, sir," said the manager when I saw him, "I shall have to drag you in!" "Where is the noose with which you can catch me?" I asked.
Yesterday the faithful D'Arget told me with sorrow that in Paris people were talking of your Poem." Horrible; but, O Sire, me? "I showed him the eighteen Letters that I received yesterday. They are from Cadiz," all about Finance, no blabbing there! Tie some tin-canister to your too-sensitive tail? Friedrich writes to Voltaire:
