'My friend, if ever I return to my native land I will never be such a crass and blithering idiot as to give way again to a spirit of adventure. I shall look out for something safe and quiet, and end my days as a wine-merchant's tout or an insurance agent. 'Ah, that's what we all say when we're out here.
"You can marry this girl if you put your mind to it. You tell me you're going about the country with her speaking at meetings that you're one of her helpers and advisers. That is you've got an A1 chance with her. If you don't use it, you're a blithering idiot." Paul threw back his head and laughed. "And what about other people?
"So you know how to play 'Nap," Wolf Larsen was saying in a pleased sort of voice. "I might have guessed an Englishman would know. I learned it myself in English ships." Thomas Mugridge was beside himself, a blithering imbecile, so pleased was he at chumming thus with the captain.
I'll have an ear- trumpet, and Mollie will wear a cap like Grannie's, and Jerry will be a blithering old idiot saying, 'Hey! like General Dyson-Polks." They had to laugh at this picture of themselves, and then Mollie began at the beginning and told the story of Prue's first visit. The boys were deeply interested.
"I mean that you won't last an hour after the story of this night's work gets out." Grady's colour slowly faded as he met the burning and contemptuous gaze Godfrey turned upon him. As for me, an awful fear had gripped my heart. "Do you mean to say it wasn't Piggott?" stammered Grady, at last. Godfrey laughed scornfully. "No, you blithering idiot!" he said. "It wasn't Pigot.
Roy, tumbled from some starry dream of his own, flashed out imperiously: "Look alive, you blithering idiot. 'Who are you a-shoving'?" The Rajput's face darkened; but before he could retort, Tara had risen and stepped swiftly to his side. Her fingers closed on the pole; and she smiled straight into his clouded eyes. "Let me, please. I'm sick of lazing and fearfully keen.
I had no opportunity of looking in my dictionary, for it would look too suspicious if I were to consult my Service Bible during tea. "I don't think we shall have time to look for an ironmonger's," I said. "You blithering ass," said the Captain, "there's one just across the road. Besides, we don't have dinner before eight as a rule." The fates were working against me.
I reckon that we haven't so much an idea about sanctuaries of ours as that we are cultivating an honest-to-God determination to keep from making wrecks of women's shrines. I know this sounds blithering, but, you see, a decent chap wants to ask some girl to give him a better thing than forgiveness when the time comes. He wants to cut out the excuse business.
The man in me calls the philosopher a blithering idiot for saying it does not matter when it does matter. Men have to be called away from their work to haul them out. We all of us get wet. I get wet and excited, and that always starts my liver. The children's clothes are utterly spoilt.
I've got the blues so bad that—why, I cried like a nasty little baby down there at the—everybody lookin' at me pityingly and saying to themselves 'what a terrible thing grief is when it hits a man like that, and thinkin' of course that I'd lost a whole family in Belgium or somewhere—oh, Lordy, what a blithering—" "Hush!" whispered Anne, her own eyes glistening.
