Some one approached along the passage, in breathless haste. He entered. It was George B , under the excitement of some strong internal emotion; his eyes gleaming with a fearful light, and his limbs shaking violently. He stood for a moment as if he were gathering his energies to speak; but the words stuck in his throat, the sounds died away amidst the noise of an indistinct jabbering.
I can see the whole picture now as it appeared night after night by the light of our primitive lamp; Good tossing to and fro, his features emaciated, his eyes shining large and luminous, and jabbering nonsense by the yard; and seated on the ground by his side, her back resting against the wall of the hut, the soft-eyed, shapely Kukuana beauty, her face, weary as it was with her long vigil, animated by a look of infinite compassion or was it something more than compassion?
No amount of gesturing and jabbering could make them understand that it was necessary for the girls to return at once. "We'll never get back," Marian mourned in despair, "and it's all my fault." "Oh, we'll make it still," encouraged Lucile, cheerfully. "Probably the Straits are not fully frozen over yet anyway." However, after a week of inaction, even Lucile lost her cheerful smile.
These words of Stewart's precipitated a riot among Don Carlos and his followers, and they surged wildly around the sheriff. There was an upflinging of brown, clenching hands, a shrill, jabbering babel of Mexican voices.
He is a great talker, and a great smoker, and he chats so skilfully, that he enjoys his pipe at the same time, and manages it so as not to interrupt his jabbering.

But, to the chief inspector's surprise and wrath, the English-speaking Chinaman had only a request to make. "Give me and my friend those three ivory skulls," he said. "Why?" he said. "Without them we can accomplish nothing." "Be good enough to explain yourself. Above all, tell me what Len Shi has been jabbering about. He had plenty to say." "He told us of the fate of our friends in China.
Monkeys and baboons appeared scrambling among the rocks, or leaping from tree to tree, jabbering at the strangers visiting their territory. "Those beasts remind me of Papua, though they have a very different appearance," observed Billy. "We should astonish some of our friends if we were to shoot and cook a big monkey for dinner. I shouldn't mind eating one, I know."
And they even insist upon trifling with the holies of your smoking times, trying to light up cigarettes themselves, and jabbering all the time, why then you seize on a civil offer to risk your neck in a racing car as a drowning man would catch at a torpedo if he found it floating handy." "You seem to have returned heart-whole, at all events," said Kate; "and I've had my suspicions of you."
Breitmann laughed wildly. "Come, come; we have no time. Put it into your pockets." "But, padrone, I have not counted it!" naively. "To-morrow, when we make camp for breakfast. Let us hurry." Quickly Pietro stuffed his pockets. Jabbering in his patois, swearing so many candles to the Virgin for this night's work.
As the trainer, with raised lash, hesitated an instant at the entrance to the box where the boy and the ape confronted him, a tall broad-shouldered man pushed past him and entered. As his eyes fell upon the newcomer a slight flush mounted the boy's cheeks. "Father!" he exclaimed. The ape gave one look at the English lord, and then leaped toward him, calling out in excited jabbering.
