She touched the sleeve again, as it might have been in protection from them, her eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed. It queerly occurred to me that his lordship might find her as difficult to know as we had and yet would keep always trying more than we had, to be sure. I mean to say, she was no gabbler. The responses to the Senator's toasts increased in volume.
I asked for some beer and sat down in the corner, near the peasant in the ragged smock. 'Well, well, piped the Gabbler, suddenly draining a glass of spirits at one gulp, and accompanying his exclamation with the strange gesticulations, without which he seemed unable to utter a single word; 'what are we waiting for?

"What! admire Woffington?" screamed Mrs. Clive; "why, she is the greatest gabbler on the stage." "I don't care," was the reply, "there's nature about the jade.
