"No, not for his bulls, but for blurting out opinions in conversation that could not stand the test of Dr. Johnson's critical powers.
The men looked at one another gravely, and some of the ladies gave vent to cries of alarm, and clung to their husband's arms. The clergyman turned angrily on the man who had brought the news. "What do you mean, sir, by blurting out a piece of news like this before a number of ladies?" he said sternly. "It was imprudent and foolish in the last degree. You have alarmed them exceedingly."
And so he rattled on, beyond reach of my modest protestations, blurting out his complicated interests, crying up his new acquaintances, and ever and again hungering to introduce me to some "whole-souled, grand fellow, as sharp as a needle," from whom, and the very thought of whom, my spirit shrank instinctively.
He had an uncomfortable habit of blurting forth the most unpleasant truths. "Yes," put in the Minister for Munitions, "we are behind with the howitzers and with ammunition of all kinds. But what can one do with these savage brutes in the North? I went there myself and spoke plainly to them. By God's grace I am still alive, though at one moment I had given up myself for lost.
But, as he was on the point of blurting out the stifled secret, that cold, pale face which resembled marble in all but the drops of sweat upon the brow chilled him again.

And I'll pray for you at the same time even if I'm in the thick of battle. Is it a bargain?" I wish you had seen the dismay on those ten faces. It was any odds on their blurting out a shamefaced refusal, but Ted Harper, their acknowledged chief, pulled himself together just in time, and called out as the train began to move: "We'll do it, sir.
But I never made such a slip in my life before as blurting out the name. I could only have done it to you. Trust me, your secret is safe in my keeping. I have hundreds in my head." He took her hand in his own as he spoke. "Dear madam," he said, gently," I understand; I feel for you." "Thank you," Mrs. Trevennack answered low, with tears standing in her eyes. "I'm I'm so glad you've SEEN him.

"Mrs. Falcon, are you bent on affronting me?" "No, sir; Heaven forbid!"
"Essie," she faltered, twisting her rings nervously, finally blurting out, "I'm afraid you'll have to go, Essie." The girl started violently. "Go?" she gasped. "Go?" Mrs. Terriberry nodded, relieved that it was out. "But why? Why?" It seemed too incredible to believe. This was the very last thing she had expected, or thought of. Mrs.
