"The history of the Savigno affair proves that he keeps his head." "And then," Martini went on; "I do not feel at all inclined, from what little I know of Rivarez, to intrust him with all the party's secrets. He seems to me feather-brained and theatrical. To give the whole management of a party's contraband work into a man's hands is a serious matter. Fabrizi, what do you think?"
To listen to the girls' conversation for five minutes was to understand their surroundings; they were hopelessly feather-brained, they chattered and gabbled with deafening persistency. If there was no good in their talk, there could scarcely be said to be any harm; they lived so completely on the surface of things that they impressed one as incapable even of a doubtful thought.
The steward looked at her intently. "Well, Taniusha," he said, "would you like to be married? Our lady has chosen a husband for you?" "Yes, Gavrila Andreitch. And whom has she deigned to name as a husband for me?" she added falteringly. "Kapiton, the shoemaker." "Yes, sir." "He's a feather-brained fellow, that's certain. But it's just for that the mistress reckons upon you." "Yes, sir."
Dennis and I were together, for Alister had business to do, but he had given us leave to gratify our curiosity, adding a kindly warning to me to take care of myself, and keep "that feather-brained laddie," Dennis, out of danger's way.
I want her to study matrimony; Bixiou shall make love to her, and and enlighten her darkness." For two hours Madame Marneffe went on talking nonsense, and Crevel made this judicious reflection: "How can so light-hearted a creature be utterly depraved? Feather-brained, yes! but wicked? Nonsense!"

Yet Aunt Priscilla had a curious fondness for her, which she insisted to herself was very reprehensible, since Betty was such a feather-brained girl. "It is to be hoped the ship did get in to-day," Aunt Priscilla began presently. "If there's anything I hate, it's being on tenterhooks." "She was spoken this morning. There's always more or less delay with pilots and tides and what not," replied Mrs.
There were so many obstacles to its satisfactory fulfilment. She wished he had not been so pleasantly vague regarding his own feelings in the matter. Of course, it was a feather-brained scheme from start to finish, and yet in a fashion it attracted her. He was so splendidly safe, so absolutely reliable; she needed just such a protector. And yet and yet there were so many obstacles.
You saw what a pitiful kind of fool she was, irresponsible and helpless and feather-brained. There are thousands of women like that everywhere some of them are 'Court Beauties, I dare say and they always mix things up; but they are most dangerous when they're like Claudine, because then they live among men of action like Cory and Fear.
"The complexion of a rosebud and amusing! Ah la! la!" "I hear her debts ran close to a million," returned the lieutenant. "She was feather-brained," continued the bon vivant, with a blasé shrug. "She was a good little quail with more heart than head! Poor Babette!" "Take care!" cautioned the Vicomte pointblank, as the Baron re-entered with the box of milder Havanas.
