"The woman made the language, Sir, you may be sure," said Angus. "They are shocking chatterers."
It will at first, I dare say: but I am afraid that in time I shall get to like it, and it will drive all the better things out of my head, and I shall just become one of those empty chatterers. I am sure there is danger of it. And I do not know how to help it.
Terrible chatterers in the market-place, and great wranglers in the council the greatest talkers living, but also on occasion the greatest orators, with a redundant vivacity of public life in their political veins, that magnifies and inflames the diseases of the parts, even while it gives an unparalleled harmony to the whole.
For the rest, the men around me except when personal interest is in question and except for a few chatterers who suddenly pour out theories which contain bits taken bodily from the newspapers the men around me are indifferent to every problem too remote and too profound concerning the succession of inevitable misfortunes which sweep us along.
My wife acquired a degree of culture and reasonableness from her training here which made her seem a superior being among the chatterers who form the female seasoning in ordinary society. I admired her dark eyes, and was only too glad to seize the excuse her education offered me for believing her a match for me in mind as well as in body."
"Oh, oh!" cried the two others, laughing, "it's strange to hear you talk like that; so, one has to be a king in order to merit your attention?"

The three chatterers then rose and went back to the chateau.
"And that old Marietta? I trust she does for you fairly well?" "She does for me to perfection. That old Marietta is a priceless old jewel," Peter vowed. "A good cook?" questioned the Duchessa. "A good cook but also a counsellor and friend. And with a flow of language!" The Duchessa laughed again. "Oh, these Lombard peasant women. They are untiring chatterers."
The Canadians call them "recollets," because they wear a brown crest of the same colour as the hoods of the monks who came with the first settlers to New France. They are a songless tribe, although their quick, reiterated call as they take to flight has given them the name of chatterers.
For Comus this first-night performance, with its brilliant gathering of spectators, its groups and coteries of lively talkers, even its counterfoil of dull chatterers, its pervading atmosphere of stage and social movement, and its intruding undercurrent of political flutter, all this composed a tragedy in which he was the chief character.
If Captain Rumway were half as courageous as she, the chatterers would be confounded, she promised herself, as she made her toilet for the occasion not too nice for sea-water, but bright and pretty, and becoming, as her toilets always were.
