'I think, do you know, he managed to blurt out at last 'I think I ought to be getting home again. The house is empty and 'You shall go this evening, said Herbert, 'if you really must insist on it. But honestly, Lawford, we both think that after what the last few days must have been, it is merely common sense to take a rest.
Late in the evening the doctor came into Godfrey's cell. "By the bye," he said, "I put your name down as Ivan Holstoff. It was as good as any other, and you had to be entered by some name. I feared that you might blurt out your own whatever it may be, and that might be fatal, for if you are a political prisoner your name will have been sent to every station where there are troops."
That night, after the shop was closed and Aspel had gone home, and Mr Fred Blurt had gone to sleep, under the guardianship of the faithful Miss Lillycrop, and Mrs Murridge had retired to the coal-hole or something like it which was her dormitory, Mr Enoch Blurt entered the shop with a mysterious air, bearing two green tablecloths.
Should we rush in and say the Swiss national debt is $ , or kopecks, and then lead on to other topics such as the comparative heights of mountain peaks, letting the consul gradually grasp the fact that we have been in Switzerland? Or should we call him up on the telephone and make a mysterious appointment with him, when we could blurt it out brutally?
When, during the course of the gale, a toppling billow overbalanced itself and fell inboard with a crash that nearly split the deck open, sweeping two of the quarterboats away, Mr Blurt, sitting in the saloon, was heard to exclaim: "'Pon my word, it's a terrible gale enough almost to make a fellow think of his sins."
Fearing some devastating rejoinder from Rachel Rachel was the kind of person who could blurt out things that landed on you like a ton of bricks she sought to fortify Charlie's opinion of her by replacing her foot against his ankle. "Well, what are they, Rachel?" What were the things Mary knew nothing about? A large order. Rachel's tongue began to wag in her mind. Stand up and make a speech.
Thanks to rice powder and the pride of a new hat, she looked cool and adequate. But she was thinking all the time: "I never could keep up this Beatrice-Joline pose with Mr. Fein or Mr. Ross. Poor Una, with them she'd just have to blurt out that she wanted a job!" She sailed up to a corner table by a window. The waiter gave the menu to Mr. Sidney, but she held out her hand for it.
Forget you're a girl, and I a man, and for a minute let's have honest outspoken words which might come from two people who've been through an hour neither one of them will ever forget!" "No, I won't ever forget," she murmured. "Nor I. Did you know I was a sneak in pretending to love you then? Did you know it was a lie?" She could never have realized what it cost him to blurt out these words.
If he felt a gentle pull on the rein, he yielded not a jot. Unluckily there are no curb-bits for hard-mouthed talkers. "Rufus, I don't see that ye wear a ticket warranting ye'll not go off," he added merrily. Red became redder on two faces, and hot, hotter with at least one temper. "And womankind?" I managed to blurt out, trying to second her efforts against our tormentor.
"No," I answered, flushing, and avoiding her amused eyes, yet not daring to blurt out the truth, "I come from farther north." "Exactly; I recall now there are Athertons in Memphis and Nashville, delightful people, the real, old Southern stock. I regret greatly to learn from Le Gaire that duty compels you to leave at once."
