"'Tis so, this ere is a broke-down, one-horse concern, and that ain't the wust on't, nuther," said his companion; who was almost bursting with communicativeness. "Well, what is the worst of it?" inquired the Doctor, as much to gratify the old man's weakness, as to satisfy his own curiosity. "Why, Doctor, 'tween you an' me, there's awful doin's here.
After a few words of condolence, in a broken kind of English, he asked me various questions about our family; and I, won by his seeming kindness, told him all I knew about them, of which communicativeness I afterwards very much repented.
It was an excess of communicativeness, an eagerness to show what was most at my heart, and to ascertain what was at the heart of those to whom I talked, which made me incapable of mere fencing and trifling, and so often caused me to retreat into myself when I found absolute absense of response. I am also reminded here of a dream which I had in these years of a perfect friendship.
But who was to profit by his communicativeness? The noisy birds could not hear themselves speak, much less him; he shrewdly distrusted his ability to command the attention of the busy bees; and even a member of the Universal Knowledge Society may well be at a loss for a suitable address to an earwig.
He confessed with the utmost frankness that he had been sent to sea, as a wild boy whom it was impossible to keep steady at home; and he quite readily admitted that he had not introduced himself to Zack under his real name. But at this point his communicativeness stopped.
And whatever you would think, either in condemnation or justification, would be thought of the old Murray Davenport. It wouldn't matter to the new man.

'Peter planted an orchard the first thing when we settled, and maples be plenty in the bush, said Mrs. Logan, with unusual communicativeness. 'Yes, ma'am, rejoined Andy suavely, and not in the least seeing the connection between maple trees and apple-pie.
"You may wait, then!" said Sir Norman, with a smothered growl; "and I give you joy when I tell you. Such extra communicativeness to one so stolid could do no good!" "But I am not stolid! I am in a perfect agony of anxiety," said Hubert. "You young jackanapes!" said Sir Norman, half-laughing, half-incensed.
Lindsay's communicativeness seemed to contract a little, as at the touch of a finger light but cold. "I don't think she has ever told me," he said. "No, I am sure she has not." His reflection was, "It is her garment and how could it fit another woman?" "But you have divined it she has let you do that! You can give me your impression."
And I opened the door. "But you have not told me all." "You had better not wait until I do tell you all. Such extra communicativeness could give you no pleasure. March!" "Cross thing!" said she; but she obeyed: and, indeed, the first classe was my territory, and she could not there legally resist a notice of quittance from me.
