There was somewhat of gloomy and ferocious dignity about Philip II. which might easily bring a courtier to his knees; but how can we account for the equal reverence that was paid to the ninny Philip III., the debauched trifler Philip IV., and the drivelling idiot Charles II.? Yet all of these were invested with the same attributes of the divine.
Grace tasted nothing, but mournfully looked on: once only she attempted to expostulate, but was met not with fierce oaths, nor coarse chidings, nor even with idiotic drivelling oh no! worse than that she felt: he replied to her with the maudlin drunken promise, "If she'd only be a good girl, and let him bide, he'd give her a big Church-bible, bound in solid gold that 'ud make the book o' some real value, Grace."
He said I had performed a miracle, that I had converted a few lines of drivelling nonsense just the sort of stuff that would attract the professor into a masterpiece. But I am afraid the prestige of the English language may have blinded Peppino to any little defects, as it made him see more romance than I could find in the names of the English boats. This was my "masterpiece": FULL INSIDE.
"Come, come," cried Miss O'Donoghue, whose eyes nothing escaped, "you need not look at Rupert, you can answer for yourself, I suppose you are not absolutely a drivelling idiot all the Landales are not ripening for lunatic asylums collect your wits, Sophia, I know you have not got any, but you have enough to be able to give a plain answer to a plain question, I suppose.
Grace tasted nothing, but mournfully looked on: once only she attempted to expostulate, but was met not with fierce oaths, nor coarse chidings, nor even with idiotic drivelling oh no! worse than that she felt: he replied to her with the maudlin drunken promise, "If she'd only be a good girl, and let him bide, he'd give her a big Church-bible, bound in solid gold that 'ud make the book o' some real value, Grace."
So I lie, and toady, and write drivelling talks about things I don't understand, for drivelling women to listen to, and I still have the creature comforts of life. I pawn my self-respect for them that's all. Such a little price to pay, isn't it, Billy?" She spoke in a sort of frenzy. I dare say that at the outset she wanted Mr.
He who commits his decrepitude to the press plays the fool if he think to squeeze anything out thence that does not relish of dreaming, dotage, and drivelling; the mind grows costive and thick in growing old.
"It was, then, thou, whom I saw in the feeble lamplight with the accursed wretch that crosses my path everywhere, the dastard, drivelling dotard of Arpinum; thou that despite thine oath, didst lead him to detect the man, thou hadst sworn to obey, and follow! Thou! it is thou, then, that houndest mine enemies upon my track!
"The next thing, Rege," and John laid his hand affectionately upon his friend's shoulder, "is for you to find him too." "So, you're going to turn preacher, John? You'll find me a hard subject. A short life and a merry one is what I am going in for. I've no turn for Christianity." "It pays, Rege." "Don't believe it.
