"I must 'angle' for them chaps," repeated le Bourdon; "and if you will go with me, strangers, you shall soon see the nicest part of the business of bee-hunting. Many a man who can 'line' a bee, can do nothing at an 'angle'." As this was only gibberish to the listeners, no answer was made, but all prepared to follow Ben, who was soon ready to change his ground.
"Darfel Gatherel," said I, "is not gibberish; it was the name of the great wooden image at Ty Dewi, or Saint David's, in Pembrokeshire, to which thousands of pilgrims in the days of popery used to repair for the purpose of adoring it, and which at the time of the Reformation was sent up to London as a curiosity, where it eventually served as firewood to burn the monk Forrest upon, who was sentenced to the stake by Henry the Eighth for denying his supremacy.
Their language is a queer, rattling, hard-sounding gibberish, incomprehensible to most people; they speak as fast as possible, laugh immoderately at trifles, and are excellent mimics. Their own children they stile "Pickaninnies." From all that I have seen, I do not hesitate to say, that this country will prove a splendid field for future generations.
Socialism, in the proper sense, is merely the application of modern science to government." I was puzzled and angry. What he said made sense somehow, but it sounded to me like so much gibberish. "But Germany is a monarchy," I objected. "It is a modern, scientific system with monarchy as its superstructure. It is anomalous, but frank.
He's a pretty smooth talker, your fayther. Just dropped in to see how I be, since his son was interested. Talked a sight of law gibberish I didn't understand. Told me I didn't have much of a case; said the policy of the railrud was to be liberal, and wanted to know what I thought I ought to have." "Well?" said Austen, shortly. "Well," said Mr.
Wait shook his head; rolled his eyes; he denied, cursed, threatened and not a word had the strength to pass beyond the sorrowful pout of those black lips. It was incomprehensible and disturbing; a gibberish of emotions, a frantic dumb show of speech pleading for impossible things, promising a shadowy vengeance. It sobered Donkin into a scrutinising watchfulness. "Yer can't oller. See?
"One of them Chinese 'awkers," she explained, "'e's bin a-tryin' to git the better of me over carrots as if I didn't know what carrots was and 'im a-talkin' about a shillin' in his gibberish, as if 'e 'adn't been brought up in a place where they don't know what a shillin' is.
No, no, I will not give up my knowledge of the Greek for you, nor none that ever came from your country." So saying, with an unparalleled effrontery, he repeated some gibberish, which by the sound seemed to be Irish, and made it pass for Greek with the captain, who, looking at me with a contemptuous sneer, exclaimed, "Ah, ah! have you caught a tartar?"
And I shall accomplish this because I must and not because I love Albert Weener or care a litmuspaper whether or not his offal is swallowed up. "What do you think about temporary protective measures in the meanwhile?" "What the devil do you mean, Weener? 'Temporary protective measures'? What euphuistic gibberish is this?" I outlined briefly my butler's plan of vertical cities.
He then fomented the parts which had sustained injury, never failing to murmur prayers or spells, which of the two Waverley could not distinguish, as his ear only caught the words GASPER-MELCHIOR-BALTHAZAR-MAX-PRAX-FAX, and similar gibberish.
