"Wrong!" hoarsely and fiercely repeated Don Louis. "The wrong of baffled hate; of success, when I planned thy downfall; of escape, when I had sworn thy death! Did the drivelling idiots, who haunted, persecuted, excommunicated me from these realms, as some loathed reptile, dream that I would draw back from my sworn vengeance for such as they?
The way was now cleared there is no hell to which a golden branch will not win your admittance. "The man detained me no longer; he hastened to lead the way. We passed through various long passages; sometimes the low moan of pain and weakness came upon my ear sometimes the confused murmur of the idiot's drivelling soliloquy.
I slept sometimes and had pipe dreams about being out chasing cats into basements and growling at old ladies with black mittens, as a dog was intended to do. Then she would pounce upon me with a lot of that drivelling poodle palaver and kiss me on the nose but what could I do? A dog can't chew cloves. I began to feel sorry for Hubby, dog my cats if I didn't.
And all this can't be done in a drivelling mood you must pick your way if you are going to write. That's a long preface; but I mean this place to be a place to give men the right sort of start. I happen to be able to teach people, more or less, how to write, if they have got the stuff in them and to be frank, I'm not sure that you have!
Could a poor boy, a snivelling, drivelling boy was in his nurse's arms but yesterday, and cried for sugarplums and puled for pap bear up the awful weight of crown, orb, sceptre? gird on the sword my royal fathers wore, and meet in fight the tough Crimean foe?" Thus easily do we deceive ourselves! Thus do we fancy what we wish is right!
Away she goes, the little fairy, to rejoice the drivelling fools on the other side of the screens. Supposing I marry this one, without seeking any further. I should respect her as a child committed to my care; I should take her for what she is: a fantastic and charming plaything. What an amusing little household I should set up!
Mr Exors is prepared to dispute it, and says that he will ask permission to argue the case out with the executive." "He would argue about anything. You know what Exors is." "And there is that poor man Barnes has gone altogether out of his mind, and has become a drivelling idiot."
In these small groups devoted to a drivelling dissipation there is almost always one man who seems to have condescended to his company; one man who, while he can talk a foul triviality with his fellows, can also talk politics with a Socialist, or philosophy with a Catholic. It was just such a man whom I came to know well.
For myself I was fairly dumbfounded with amazement, and my companion, the hard-headed sceptical astronomer, kept on crying and muttering to himself, "My God! my God!" as if he had become a drivelling fool. At length, however, it grew less savage by degrees, and we entered on a park-like country which gained in loveliness what it lost in grandeur.
It is always on the side of life. The poor the slaves who really stoop under the burden of life have often been mad, scatter-brained and cruel, but never hopeless. That is a class privilege, like cigars. Their drivelling literature will always be a 'blood and thunder' literature, as simple as the thunder of heaven and the blood of men.
