You can scarcely imagine how wise people like the Egyptians could ever have believed in such drivel.
It is observable, too, how very much public entertainments have increased of late a tacit acknowledgment of dulness at home while, instead of the lively, if somewhat boisterous, talk of our fathers, we have drawing-room dissertations on art, and dandy drivel about blue china. There is one pleasure only that takes more and more root amongst us, and never seems to fail, and that is making money.
Well, he prophesied stuff like this: 'When the owl and the eagle meet on the same blasted rowan tree, then a lassie in a white hood from the east shall make the burn of Cross-cleugh run full red, and drivel of that insane kind. Well, you can't think what trouble that particular prophecy gave me.
Why, says I, 'you've got a necktie on; and you speak a senseless kind of indoor drivel that reminds me of a storekeeper or a lady. You look to me like you might tote an umbrella and wear suspenders, and go home of nights. "'The little woman, says Perry, 'has made some improvements, I believe. You can't understand, Buck.

I felt a fool when you came in. Now you've made me feel a double-dyed idiot. Kindly go away and dig a hole in the ground with yourself." Ena went.
A feller that chatters all the time is bound to talk a certain amount of drivel. The Sayings of Si Sylvanne This was the Crow Moon, the white man's March. The Grass Moon was at hand, and already the arrow bands of black-necked honkers were passing northward from the coast, sending down as they flew the glad tidings that the Hunger Moon was gone, that spring was come, yea, even now was in the land.
Jane was frankly disappointed, as she admitted to having pictured in her mind's eye a series of peripatetic herbaceous borders in full flower, cruising about the lake at their own sweet will and tended by fair Kashmirian maidens. By-the-bye, here let me expose, once for all, the fallacy of Moore's drivel about the lovely maids of fair "Cashmere." There are none!
The eloquent drivel that distils from his tongue, the length and general inapplicability of his narratives, the judicious and imposing triteness of his counsels, the vigorous imbecility of his exhortations all reveal the heroic Fogie in proportions suitable to the other colossal figures with which he is surrounded.
