One heard the cheery burble of celestial wells. And in the open squares angels that had a semblance to fishing-boats, bowed down in the blessedness of the twilight. But the animals in their dreams saw neither the earth nor Paradise as we know them and see them. They dreamed of endless plains where their senses became confused. It was like a dense fog in them.
She heard a faint burble of talk away at the other end of the wire. Then the same voice speaking crisply. "We gotta big six roadster, and a first-class driver. It'll cost you seventy-five dollars in advance." "Your money will be waiting for you here," she answered calmly. "How soon can you bring the car around to the Hotel Granada?" "In ten minutes, if you say so." "Say twenty minutes, then."
HE doesn't want anything more to happen. Why should he? Any chance 'ud be a loss to him. He wants everything to burble along and burble along and go on as it's going for the next ten thousand years, Eastry after Eastry, one parson down another come, one grocer dead, get another! Any one with any ideas better go away. They HAVE gone away! Look at all these blessed people in this place! Look at 'em!
Reggie Forsyth wrote to him from Chuzenji, "Yaé is here, and we go in for yachting in a kind of winged punt, called a 'lark. For five pounds you can become a ship-owner. I fancy myself as a skipper, and I have already won two races. But more often we escape from the burble of the diplomats, and take our sandwiches and thermata or is thermoi the plural? to the untenanted shores of the lake, and picnic
Number Five study attended, with its usual air of bland patronage. At last McTurk, of the lanthorn jaws, delivered himself: "You jabber and jaw and burble, and that's about all you can do. What's the good of it? King's house'll only gloat because they've drawn you, and King will gloat, too. Besides, that resolution of Orrin's is chock-full of bad grammar, and King'll gloat over that."
"By Jove, I'm glad. No time to burble now, though. Off with you. Compradore has a gun for you, in the court. Collect a drink as you go by. Report to Kneebone at the northeast corner. Danger point there: we need a good man, so hurry. Devilish glad. Cut along." Rudolph, scrambling down from the pony-shed, ran across the compound with his head in a whirl.
"Poor leedle waif!" murmured the soft-hearted old gentleman. "Id was de good Providence dat guided her or him, whichever id be." "Providence be hanged!" snarled Peter. "What was my Providence doing landing me with a gutter-brat to look after?" "So like you Radicals," sneered the doctor, "to despise a fellow human creature just because id may not have been born in burble and fine linen."
It occurred to me to ask myself why I should defer and qualify my opinions to him. Why should I pretend a feeling of intellectual and social inferiority toward him. He asked what I thought of Burble. I resolved to tell him if necessary with arrogance. Then perhaps he would release me. I did not sit down again, but stood by the corner of the fireplace.
There was a drowsy buzz of insects that mingled oddly with the burble of the stream and the lowing of the cattle.... He lay there and listened to a lark as it flew up from the ground with a queer, agitated flutter of wings, watching it as it ascended high and higher until it became a tiny speck, and then he sat up and watched it as it descended again, still flying with that queer, agitated flutter of wings, until it came near the earth, when its song suddenly ceased and it changed its flight and fell swiftly to its nest.
Gabbitas, you see, did sometimes, as the phrase went, "take notice" of me, he had induced me to go on reading after I left school, and with the best intentions in the world and to anticipate the poison of the times, he had lent me Burble's "Scepticism Answered," and drawn my attention to the library of the Institute in Clayton. The excellent Burble was a great shock to me.
