In all the time I've known her I don't remember her to have stopped talking for three consecutive minutes. You'll have to race her six times round the grass paddock for a bet, and then blurt your proposal out before she's got her wind back. The paddock is laid up for hay, but if you're really in love with her you won't let a consideration of that sort stop you, especially as it's not your hay."
To say them at all, I must blurt them out, but I believed that with them said the floodgates would be opened and the true lover-like appeal burst forth. Gladys Todd must have thought that I was angry, for she asked me what was the matter. Some inane reply forced its way through the press of unuttered avowals.
Peter looked at the Laughing Brook in dismay. It was quite wide at that point. "I I can't," he stammered. "Then I can't tell you how Lightfoot learned to jump," replied Grandfather Frog, quite as if the matter were settled. "I I'll try!" Peter hastened to blurt out. "All right. While you are trying, I'll see if I can remember the story," replied Grandfather Frog.
She battled with a desire to blurt out the whole truth; but the man's next words silenced her. "Who be the golden-haired woman, Scraggy?" he wheedled. "What woman what golden-haired woman?"

"Well, I guess I'll be goin'," exploded Blootch wrathfully; "it's gittin' late." "He won't sleep much to-night," said Anderson, with a twinkle in his eye, as the gate slammed viciously behind the caller. "Say, Rosalie, there's somethin' been fidgetin' me fer quite a while. I'll blurt it right out an' have it over with. Air you in love with Wick Bonner?"
But since they didn't, there's no need of saying anything about it. They left right away, before any of us had gotten anxious about you. If the man who told me doesn't blurt it to every one he sees what in the world possessed you, Marion, to phone down to the Forest Service that you were up there and going to stay?" "Well, forevermore!" Marion lifted her head from her arm to stare at Kate.
It all seemed perfectly natural at the time, but afterwards he wondered how she had known his name was Paul and how it had all come to pass. "For three days you have thought of me, Paul is it not so?" she said, half closing her lids. But he could only blurt out "Yes!" while he devoured her with his eyes. "We are both how shall I say drifting holiday-making trying to forget.
"Have you ever seen a check book?" was the question now flashed at her. Win had just sense enough left not to blurt out any nonsense about a bank. In an instant she realized that the pads upon which salespeople did hasty sums must be called check books, anyhow in America. She answered that she had seen one. "Know what to do with it?" "On principle. I can soon learn the method."
Professor Rayburn was considered a fixture in the parsonage household by all except Prudence herself, who chafed under her bondage. "I can't just blurt out that I think he's a nuisance," she mourned to Fairy. "Oh, if he'd just do something disgusting so I could fire him off, Pop! Just like that. Wouldn't it be glorious?"
"Dey stan' her up befo' Mars' Colby, an' hes eyes look lak' dey was red ya-as'm! 'Sally Alley, he roar at her, 'whar de odder laig ob dis goose?
