Governed, do I say? possessed in supreme and sovereign sway! And every day, and every morning, by his decrees, by his messages, by all the incredible drivel which he parades in the "Moniteur," this emigrant, who knows not France, teaches France her lesson! and this ruffian tells France he has saved her! And from whom? From herself!
"That's where the man's heart really lies," said his stern critic, "even if he does drivel about his little flower with bones and a voice! Probably by now he's wishing the voice had been left out of his little flower." Impressively she planted a rigid forefinger on the print of the mounted skeleton.
He bent over the insignificant figure of Huish, where it grovelled, apparently insensible, at the base of the figure-head. 'Dead? he asked. 'No, he's not dead, said Davis. 'And Attwater? asked Herrick. 'Now you just shut your head! replied Davis. 'You can do that, I fancy, and by God, I'll show you how! I'll stand no more of your drivel.
"Well, that's what I meant when I said it was all perfect drivel. You can't possibly love a chap like Gussie." "Why not?" "You simply can't." Well, I mean to say, of course she couldn't. Nobody could love a freak like Gussie except a similar freak like the Bassett. The shot wasn't on the board.

But your son, if you have one that'll be another pair of boots! 'You and your pals would be much better employed in stopping this accursed war than in talking revolutionary drivel like that, said the Squire, with energy.
Banks looked at Peter in deep contempt. "Whoever wrote this does not write drivel, Peter," he said, with a note of fatigue in his voice. "He has made out a good case for this girl. Every one who reads this wants to see her. I want to see her, you want to see her that's the deuce of it." "Well, why don't you go," said Peter, "or send me? I'd like to go.
It's not for me to say why, in the inscrutable wisdom of God, a genius should ever have been called from this place of hatred and bitter waters; but I want this Boston man to know that the drivel he's been hearing here tonight is the only tribute any truly great man could have from such a lot of sick, side-tracked, burnt-dog, land-poor sharks as the here-present financiers of Sand City upon which town may God have mercy!"
"I thought he was so strict with you. Wouldn't let you have any fun at home, and never took you to pantomimes?" "And why should he, sir, why should he? Tell me that.
