What hours he would have spent in confabulation with Gibbon! What secrets he would have learned, without asking questions, from Napoleon and Cavour! His interest embraced them all, some of them he could have taught, many of them would have welcomed him as their peer.
However, as time rolled on he began regularly, every day or two, to ask Kate questions about Charley that she could not by any possibility answer, but which he knew from experience would lead her into a confabulation about his son, which helped a little to allay his impatience.
She was scarcely sated I blush to the very point of my pen during the manuscription when the confabulation assumed a character directly antipodial to that which marked the precedent dialogue. "'My gracious, Rose, but that's a purty thing you have got in your gown! where did you buy it? "'Och, thin, not a one of myself likes it over much.
De Haan, who was busy directing the clerks to write out ten thousand wrappers for the first number, and who had never heard of Raphael before, held a whispered confabulation with Gradkoski and Schlesinger and in a few moments Raphael was rescued from obscurity and appointed to the editorship of the Flag of Judah at a salary of nothing a year.
It would really be monstrous to drag Seymour out to have a long confabulation about a girl whom he scarcely knew, and could have no interest in, at this time of night.

All gleaming with resolve and animation with the frosty, chill, exhilarating air which had kindled the colour in her cheeks and the light in her eyes with haste, resentment, every feeling that can quicken the heart and make the pulses leap Nettie had flashed into the little parlour, where all was so quiet and leisurely. There Susan sat in close confabulation with the Bushman.
Chigwin's door, and, after a short confabulation, dismissed the cabman and went in. At any rate it was something for Birchmead to know that it had a visitor who had come in a Dorminster cab. That was an incident which for these good souls distinguished the day from the one which went before and the one which came after it. It was Lettice Campion who thus stirred the languid pulse of Birchmead.
Although the pursuers were well mounted their horses were heavier, and lost ground hopelessly in the midst of the broken land of the foot-hills. Jake was closeted with the rancher at the coming of the doctor and his companions; but their confabulation was brought to an abrupt termination at once.
