"Humph! I expect he has been told to hold his tongue. Well, did you hear anything at all?" "I heard that Gibber had never seen Mrs. Herne. He did not even know her name. Now, sir," went on Drudge, laying a finger in the palm of his hand, "if Mrs. Herne was stopping at the Soho house, Gibber would have seen her."
The eyes would follow the movements of the spectator, and the lips would 'gibber without ceasing. No voice was audible, but Mordake avers that he was kept from his rest at night by the hateful whispers of his 'devil twin, as he called it, 'which never sleeps, but talks to me forever of such things as they only speak of in hell.
Perhaps, girls, it will be better for you if you make up your minds early in life that your lot will probably be about like that of the average girl, that trouble must come, and even a skeleton must hang and gibber behind your door; but that, be the skeleton what it may, you will nail the door back on the unsightly thing, clothe it in some decent garments, and make it as respectable as possible in its niche, since it must stay with you.
I had intended it merely as a preliminary to what I might describe as the real business of the evening." "You gibber, Jeeves." "No, sir. It was essential that the ladies and gentlemen should be brought from the house, in order that, once out of doors, I could ensure that they remained there for the necessary period of time." "How do you mean?" "My plan was based on psychology, sir." "How?"
"Mary," said Arthur, "remove that bonnet, which by no means becomes you, and let Adela take it into a corner and gibber over it to herself. I want you to hear this."

To-morrow, if I can find a bit of pink tissue-paper, I think I could gum on little pleats round the edge of the strings as a finish."
An iron cresset, charged with coarse rancid oil, hung from the roof, the dull smoky red light flickering on the dead corpse, as the breeze streamed in through the door and numberless chinks in the walls, making the cold, rigid, sharp features appear to move, and glimmer, and gibber as it were, from the changing shades.
"What are his symptoms has he tried to murder any of you, hey?" "Oh, my dear aunt! No, indeed, dear Adrian is gentleness itself." "Does he bite? Does he gibber? Oh, away with you, Sophia! I am sure I cannot wonder at the poor fellow wanting to live on a rock, between you and Rupert. I am sure the periwinkles and the gulls must be pleasant company compared to you.
A monkey chained in one corner began to gibber and mow at me.
Herne has gone to the Continent," said Jennings quietly, "and if Senora Gredos gives up this very dangerous business, she may go also. As you will be deprived of two of your friends, Mr. Hale, doubtless you will go also." "I might. One never knows," replied Hale coolly. "By the way?" asked Jennings, looking round, "I was admitted by a parlor-maid this evening. Where is Gibber?"
But the girl I met on the dock...." "Don't!" said Eustace Hignett. "If you have anything bitter and derogatory to say about women, say it and I will listen eagerly. But if you merely wish to gibber about the ornamental exterior of some dashed girl you have been fool enough to get attracted by, go and tell it to the captain or the ship's cat or J. B. Midgeley.
