"Will it do if I come down and speak to you outside?" said Leander. There was a consultation between the two at this, and at the end of it the first man said: "It's all the same to us, where we have our little confabulation. Come down, and look sharp about it!" Leander came down, taking care to shut the street door behind him. "You ain't the police?" he said, apprehensively.
The confabulation was conducted throughout in the same foreign language which Levi had used when first speaking to them a language quite unintelligible to Hiram's ears. Now and then the murmur of talk would rise loud and harsh over some disputed point; now and then it would sink away to whispers.
After this confabulation the steward had orders to shut the door on Monsieur de Rubempre which was done. Lucien paced the waiting-room at the opera-house like a man who was drunk. He fancied himself the talk of all Paris.
Deleah resented that attitude. "Surely you don't think I want to be out of it, mama! Do you think I want to live in luxury while you and Bessie haven't a home?" And at that moment Bessie appeared, coming in from the kitchen and confidential confabulation with Emily. Her face was flushed, and her eyes glittered with an excitement too evidently not pleasurable. "Well!
I saw the old burgermeister go waddling by in his robe of office, accompanied by a crowd of nondescript officials, with one of whom my villainous-looking adversary was in close confabulation.
I don't like the look o' things, yer honour." "Why, Simon?" "Why, sir, 'tain't me as ought to tell, and yet I don't feel comfortable. I wish I could 'a had a confabulation with yer afore this performance come off. I hain't got no doubts in my mind but that hinfidel and his dootiful brother hev got dealin's with the devil." Simon rose and went to the door, opened it, and peered cautiously around.
'But there is no such word, really, she urged, determined to clear up all she could. 'It rhymes that's all. 'And there is no verse or story, he replied with a sigh. 'There was that's all. There was another pause. Jimbo and Monkey looked round suspiciously. They ceased their mysterious whispering. They clearly did not wish the others to know what their confabulation was about.
This is an unexpected visit, though, Master Ralph; I hope there's nothing wrong, sir." "Oh dear, no! quite the reverse I hope, Tim, my boy. I've been sent home with despatches. Now, lead the way to the library, if you please." This short confabulation passed in the hall while Tim was relieving me of my cloak and hat.
The tone of cool indifference to her subjects of interest, of slight displeasure at her preferring them to his, went to Matilda's heart. So also it tried her greatly, to see for the rest of the evening Norton and Judy in high confabulation over the catalogues and the greenhouse. She felt shut out from it, and a little from Norton himself.
Poker seemed to be the favoured pastime, but "shooting craps" was not without its devotees. There were one or two groups in close confabulation over their drinks. While round the stove was a scattering of loungers. A dark good-looking man, with an ample brown beard, was amongst the latter. He was reclining with little more than his back resting on the seat of an armed Windsor chair.
