These are the chatterboxes who will tell you how they got up, cut themselves shaving, ate sausages, spilt the tea, and nearly missed the train in which they began to read the latest work of Benedetto Croce, which, unluckily, having got into conversation with a pretty typist or a humorous bagman, they quite forgot, left in the carriage, and so can tell you no more about.
A man of that kind chatters away, and touches lightly upon every conceivable subject, and talks in smooth, fluent phrases which he has culled from books without grazing their substance; whereas go and have a chat with a tradesman who knows at least ONE thing thoroughly, and through the medium of experience, and see whether his conversation will not be worth more than the prattle of a thousand chatterboxes.
It did not take a minute after Dickon got a hammer in his hand, for Gaston's frown to change to a broad and satisfied smile. Here was a helper after his own ideas strong, deft, and no talker. Like many men who love talk for its own sake the master was not fond of chatterboxes.
She felt angry with Miss Schley for resembling her in colouring, for resembling her in another respect capacity for remaining calmly silent in the midst of fashionable chatterboxes. "Will she?" she said to Mrs. Wolfstein. "Yes. If she'd never been shipwrecked she'd have been almost entertaining, but there's Sir Donald Ulford trying to attract your attention." "Where?"
The vicar of the Inquisition, Martin, presided with Cauchon; and as he was only a vicar, he had but second place. Joan underwent fourteen examinations; they are singular. She said that she saw St. Catherine and St. Marguerite at Poitiers. Doctor Beaupère asks her how she recognized the saints. She answers that it was by their way of bowing. Beaupère asks her if they are great chatterboxes.
People do not talk to the procession." "How absurd! He is my confessor. May I not say good-morning to my confessor?" "Silence, chatterboxes!" "Who was that spoke?" "Oh, my dear, it was Brother Cucuzza, the begging friar." "Where is he? Where is he?" "There he is, along there, laughing into his beard. How bold he is!" "Ah, God in heaven! If we were to dream of him "
You will begin to hoard them proudly, like a miser. You will gloat over your own cleverness you, who but a few days since, were feeling so stupid. Solitude in a crowd, silence among chatterboxes these are the best ministers to a mind diseased. And with the restoration of the mind, the body will be restored too. You, who were physically so limp and pallid, will be a ruddy Hercules now.
"Nobody wants you to, you dear old Ken! You wouldn't be half as nice if you were as foolish and frivolous as these society chatterboxes! You've got more sterling worth and real intellect in your make-up than they ever dreamed of. Now, stop your nonsense and come on and dance. But don't undertake to lecture Patty Fairfield, she won't stand for it!"
There's Dolores bothering with her science, and Fergus every bit as bad; and Mysie after her disgusting schoolchildren; and Val and Prim horrid little empty chatterboxes; and if one does turn to a jolly girl for a bit of fun, their tongues all go to work, so that you would think the skies were going to fall; and if one goes in for a bit of a spree, down comes the General like a sledge-hammer!
"Gorgo. Indeed! And where may this person come from? What is it to you if we are chatterboxes? Give orders to your own servants, sir. Do you pretend to command ladies of Syracuse? If you must know, we are Corinthians by descent, like Bellerophon himself, and we speak Peloponnesian. Dorian women may lawfully speak Doric, I presume?" "Oh, do let me be Gorgo!" begged Dulcie.
