"Begging pardon, sir, for being a gabbler," said Deborah, witheringly, "but know what he is we do a fine young gent with long descents and stone figgers in churches, as Bart knows. Beecot's his par's name, as is fighting with Mr. Paul by reason of contrariness and 'igh living, him being as stout as stout." "Perhaps you will explain, Sylvia," said Aaron, turning impatiently from the handmaiden.
The indolent one, often a mere gabbler, opens his eyes and his mouth weeks afterwards, and cries, 'Dear me! Was that the much-looked-for opportunity? Of course, Robinson's by-play with the sack and rope was merely thrown in by the prodigal hand of Fate." "Stop!" yelped Furneaux. "Another platitude, and I'll assault you with the tongs!"
Will you trust me, sir? A detective who loves his profession is no gabbler. Your secret is as safe with me as if you had buried it in the grave." And I had said nothing! He started to go, then he stopped suddenly and observed, with one of his wise smiles: "I once spent several minutes in Miss Carmel Cumberland's room, and I saw a cabinet there which I found it very hard to understand.
'Tis that thou depart forthwith to the City yonder, and enter thy palace by a back entrance, and I will see that thou art joined within an hour of thy arrival there by Baba Mustapha, my uncle, the gabbler. He is there, as I guess by signs; I have had warnings of him. Discover him speedily.
What brought you here? he bawled amidst laughter. The poor peasant was abashed, and was just about to get up and make off as fast as he could, when suddenly the Wild Master's iron voice was heard: 'What does the insufferable brute mean? he articulated, grinding his teeth. 'I wasn't doing nothing, muttered the Gabbler. 'I didn't... I only....

And yet not a single drinking party for thirty miles around took place without his lank figure turning up among the guests; so that they were used to him by now, and put up with his presence as a necessary evil.
The lives of some of them were known to me already when I met them in the Welcome Resort; I collected some facts about the others later on. Let us begin with the Gabbler. This man's real name was Evgraf Ivanovitch; but no one in the whole neighbourhood knew him as anything but the Gabbler, and he himself referred to himself by that nickname; so well did it fit him.

So great was their fear of this lonely man, and of the malignant powers he might conjure to his aid, that nearly fifty Indians joined the expedition, to give each other courage.
'There, let him alone, let him alone; there's no being rid of you'... said the Blinkard with vexation; 'let him sit down on the bench; he's tired, see... You're a ninny, brother, a perfect ninny! What are you sticking to him like a wet leaf for... 'Well, then, let him sit down, and I'll drink to his health, said the Gabbler, and he went up to the bar.
'Beautifully, ha! repeated my neighbour in an undertone. 'Ah, a wild man of the woods! the Gabbler vociferated suddenly, and going up to the peasant with the rent on his shoulder, he pointed at him with his finger, while he pranced about and went off into an insulting guffaw.
