She laughed lightly, with no particular mirth in her voice. And MacRae was stricken dumb. She was angry. He knew it, felt it intuitively. Angry at him, warning him to keep his distance. He watched her dabble her hands in the salt chuck, dry them coolly on a piece of burlap. She took the money for the fish with a cool "thanks" and rowed back to shore.
I dare say I could do a great deal for you, my son; and nothing could be more delightful to your mother than to try and make her Julian happy." True, Mrs. Tracy; you were always theatrically given, and played the coquette in youth; so in age the character of go-between befits you still: dearly do you love to dabble in, what you are pleased to call, "une affaire du coeur."
Before he had time to give me any encouragement to dabble with the things on his desk, I drew up my chair, picked up a pen, and prepared to sign the paper. I did not take enough ink at first, and I stretched my arm out across the whole width of the writing table, and dipped my pen this time resolutely to the bottom of the ink-pot.
Now I am uncommonly fond of ducks, both roasted and roasting and roystering; and it is a fine sight to behold them walk, poddling one after other, with their toes out, like soldiers drilling, and their little eyes cocked all ways at once, and the way that they dib with their bills, and dabble, and throw up their heads and enjoy something, and then tell the others about it.
We know our business better than you do, and you'll get nothing out of us any more than we should get out of you if we were to dabble in your law, for you know that business better than we do." This disinterested advice I took to heart, and treated it as a warning. I thanked Mr.

Sometimes I fancy I am a woman of business, and then I take up half a dozen things till Jack has to interfere to prevent financial ruin. I dabble in politics and I dabble in philanthropy; I write review articles which nobody reads, and I make speeches which are a horror to myself and a misery to my hearers.
There should be a division of labor; some should read and write, as some ordain laws, create philosophies, tend shops, make chairs, but why should everybody dabble with literature? In all hypotheses as to the more remote destiny of literature, we can but be struck by the precariousness of its existence. It is art imperishable and ever-changing material.
Father couldn't go out much he has been so busy with his hay, and Leon is such a poor fisherman." "We've had some of the best hauls of the summer this week. Some of the Rustler boats caught six hundred to a line yesterday. We had four hundred to the line in our boat." Mary Stella began absently to dabble her slender brown hand in the water.
It had been written by Mr. Price, but it might have been written by a dozen other young men granting intelligence, youth, leisure, a university education, and three or four years of London life any one of a dozen clever young men who frequent West End drawing-rooms and dabble in literature might have written it.
