When he reached the chancel he stopped and fired at the mouthing, bedizened devil who was dancing hideously in front of the altar. The heavy service-revolver bullet struck him in some mortal place, for he leapt into the air, grabbed at the altar cloth and fell to the ground.
Here was Evan mouthing his farewell to Rose, using phrases so profoundly humble, that a listener would have taken them for bitter irony. He said adieu to her, pronouncing it with a pathos to melt scornful princesses. He tried to be honest, and was as much so as his disease permitted.
The man was all in a sweat, and had hardly got in the door before he began to talk. He had no less astonishing a proposition to make than this, which he enunciated with much mouthing of the honour and sense of duty of Mr. Grafton Carvel. His client offered to Mr.
Slovenly enunciation is certainly very dreadful, but the unregenerate may be pardoned if they prefer it to the affected mouthing which some over-nice people without due sense of values expend on every syllable which is so unlucky as to fall between their teeth. Next I would urge avoidance of a fault very common with those who speak much in large rooms, the mistaken effort at loudness.
"Now that's a fine question for a ten-hours' wifey to ask her hubby, ain't it? Am I sorry, she asks me before the wedding crowd has turned the corner. Lord, honey, I never expected anything like you to happen to me!" She stroked his coat-sleeve, mouthing back tears. "Now everybody'll say you're a goner for sure marrying a Popular Store girl."
And now, I cannot help seeing a certain strange appropriateness in the fact that the image of that mouthing and gesticulating half-witted creature should be connected in my mind with the house to which, with pomp of six-horse coaches and scarlet outriders, Charles Edward Stuart conducted his bride. Now in the possession of Mrs. Horace Walpole, of Heckfield Place, Winchfield, Hants.
It was not until night came that the din stopped, and her brain became clear again, cruelly, pitilessly clear. Deep into the night she lay awake tormenting herself with figures. How hideous, how intolerable they were! They passed and repassed in her brain in the uncompromising search-light of conscience, like malicious, mouthing imps.
A half pint more she used to rinse her own mouth and moisten the nostrils of the pony. The few sips left were held in reserve. Scant as was the water ration, it enabled both the girl and Lennon to suck at lumps of raw bacon. They lay silently mouthing and chewing the greasy fat, their rifles ready and their ears alert for the slightest thud of approaching hoofs.
Once she lifted her left arm and waved it in the air, as if waving some one off in fear or anger. The right arm, indeed the whole of the right side, was lifeless, motionless as a stone. It was a piteous sight to see the beautiful features drawn and distorted, the lips so accustomed to command mouthing the broken syllables of an unknown tongue.
But for almost all of them one of Captain Eliott's outbreaks was nearly as distasteful to face as a chance of annihilation. As soon as he had come up quite close he said, mouthing in a growl "What's this I hear, Whalley? Is it true you're selling the Fair Maid?"
