But Leonidas was not spared any further allusion to the fair stranger; for the fact of her having spoken to him was duly reported at home, and at dinner his reticence was again sorely attacked. "Just like her, in spite of all her airs and graces, to hang out along the fence like any ordinary hired girl, jabberin' with anybody that went along the road," said his mother incisively.
You don't want to see me break up business, do you? 'Now, Jerry, says I, 'that won't do. You haven't got enough to divide into three parts. Putty and me agree to go halves with what we get out of you, and when I lay out a piece of business I don't make no changes. Half of that money is for me, and half is for Putty. So just hand it out, and don't let's have no more jabberin'.
But anyway, the Swatkins girl or Mis' Robinson, she is now was there as large as life in the next pew to me, jabberin' Latin, pawin' beads, gettin' up 'n' kneelin' down, 'n' crossin' herself north, south, east, 'n' west, with the best of 'em. Poor Dan! 'Grinnin' Dan, we used to call him. Well, he don't grin nowadays. He never was good for much, but he 's hed more 'n his comeuppance!"
"Ay, ay; Annie Anderson�-I hae surely heard that name afore.�-Weel, I winna forget you, whether I forget yer name or no." "But hae ye a bed?" said the thoughtful girl, to whom the comfort of every one who came near her was an instinctive anxiety. "Ow, ay. I hae a bed at the hoose o' a sma', jabberin', bitter-barkit crater they ca' King Robert the Bruce."
What can I do?" "Go along an' eat what breakfast you can get. Then tend to your horses. Likely, they're hungrier 'n you are and I'll go see 't they're fed. But hear me! Not another mite o' foolin' with serious things till Dan Ford gets back an' takes the reins into his own hands. 'Twas the mercy of Providence nothin' else that that jabberin' shallow-pate Mateo wasn't killed plumb out.
I don't think people that talk over their victuals are like to say anything very great, especially if they get their heads muddled with strong drink before they begin jabberin'. The Bombazine uttered this with a sugary sourness, as if the words had been steeped in a solution of acetate of lead. The boys of my time used to call a hit like this a "side-winder." I must finish this woman.
Ye wadna care, grannie, wad ye, gin I was to cut aff the bonnie buttons? 'Dinna lay a finger upo' them. Ye wad be gaein' playin' at pitch and toss or ither sic ploys wi' them. Na, na, lat them sit. 'I daur ye to touch the coat or onything 'ither that's i' that press. 'Weel, weel, grannie. I s' gang and get my lessons for the morn. 'It's time, laddie. Ye hae been jabberin' ower muckle.
Him an' his red vest and jabberin' like the foreign monkey he was. I'll show him!" Ruth left Tony shaking his head and muttering angrily as he pursued his occupation.

Well, yesterday the ape-men got hold of a dozen of the humans and brought them in as prisoners. You never heard such a jabberin' and shriekin' in your life. The men were little red fellows, and had been bitten and clawed so that they could hardly walk. The ape-men put two of them to death there and then fairly pulled the arm off one of them it was perfectly beastly.
