Are you game to lend me a hand?" "Me, madam!" cried P. Sybarite in alarm. "Far be it from me to come between husband and wife!" "Don't be afraid: I'm not asking you to dabble your innocent hands in a fellow-human's blood merely to run an errand for me." "Really I'd rather be excused." "Really," she mocked pleasantly, "you won't be. I'm a gentle creature but determined frail but firm, you know.
It is true the Connecticut traders were fain to dabble a little in this damnable traffic; but then they always dealt in what were termed Yankee guns, ingeniously calculated to burst in the pagan hands which used them. The rise of this potent confederacy was a death-blow to the glory of William the Testy, for from that day forward he never held up his head, but appeared quite crestfallen.
Just peaceful. I don't care what happens now." It was Colina's turn to lavish her pent-up tenderness upon him then. After a while she disengaged herself from his arms. "They will wonder what makes me stay so long," she murmured. "And my eyes are red. Emslie will see when I go out." Ambrose poured out water in his basin. "Dabble your eyes in this," he said.
Thereupon he kicked off his shoes, removed his socks, and thrust both feet over the side to dabble them in the saline water of the lagoon. "Keep an eye out for that big 'gator we scared off the bank a while back," warned Jack, wickedly, "he might think it was a wild duck splashing, and try to pot it for his supper."

I am a lawyer by profession, and dabble a bit in city government. The Robinsons had literature. Don't misunderstand me. We had no papers, no set programs. On the Robinson evenings we discussed editorials and current periodicals, as well as the new books and plays. We were frequently acrimonious, I fear, but our small wrangles ended with the evening.
For the brook, wherewith he had been familiar from his callow childhood, and wherein he was wont to quest for water-newts, and tadpoles, and caddis-worms, and other game, this brook, which afforded him very often scanty space to dabble in, and sometimes starved the cresses, was now coming down in a great brown flood, as if the banks never belonged to it.
Ashurst saw Stella looking down; he got up in confusion, and went to the window. From there he heard Sabina mutter: "I say, let's swear blood bond. Where's your knife, Freda?" and out of the corner of his eye could see each of them solemnly prick herself, squeeze out a drop of blood and dabble on a bit of paper. He turned and made for the door. "Don't be a stoat! Come back!"
The movement, rapid though it was, came too late, for Reginald Eversleigh had distinguished the nature of the object which the surgeon wished to conceal from him. It was a mask of metal, with glass eyes. "So you wear a mask when you are at work, eh, Carrington?" said Mr. Eversleigh. "That looks as if you dabble in poisons."
Kendrick shook his head. "You stick to the tips your clients slip into your hand, my dear young lady," he advised, "and don't dabble in what you don't understand. The Stock Exchange is a den of thieves, and Maurice here and I are two of the worst examples." Miss Sarah Baldwin made a little grimace. "My clients are such a mean lot," she complained.
