Now, will you deny, Mas' Gammon, you said, Mr. Hackbut's boots, and a long stride it was for 'em from London? And I won't be laughed at through arts of any sly old man!" The circumstantial charge made no impression on Master Gammon, who was heard to mumble, as from the inmost recesses of tight-packed dumpling; but he left the vindication of his case to the farmer's laughter.
After a moment he added, with a sort of confused, as if official air, "I hope, Kemp, you'll be able to explain satisfactorily..." I said, rather off-handedly, "Why, the two men I killed ought to be credentials enough for all immediate purposes!" "That isn't what I meant," he said. He spoke rather with a mumble, and apologetically.
These were the victims who looked vacantly with glazed eyes and could mumble no intelligent response when asked their names, where was their home, what was the name of the mother that bore them. At Salisbury the pen in which part of the prisoners had been kept was still to be seen.
And, in another moment the man stopped swinging the bag and tucked it under his arm again as he began to mumble with a bit of steel. There was the very faintest of clicks. Then, noiselessly the window slid upward. A second fumbling sent the wooden inside shutters ajar. The man worked with no uncertainty.
"Wall, I'm gettin' to be somewhat of a bigotist," he said; "I barely git a livin'." "Why Mr. Crankin " I began. The name roused his jealous ire, and his voice, a low mumble before, now burst into a loud roar.
We mustn't leave them here." "Why not?" "If they're found, they'll suspect they'll know ..." He stopped, stammering, and again his voice trailed away into a mumble, as though beyond his control. Godfrey looked at him for a moment, and I could guess at the surprise and suspicion in his eyes.
And when this was done, I shaped the handle so small as might come into the grasp of the Maid, and did jest her very loving and gentle that she give me so great a work, because that she have her hands so little. And truly, she presently to stop me of my mocking; for she put her pretty hands upon my mouth, and I then to have to mumble and to laugh, and so she to go forward again with the plaiting.
Rex heard his cousin's charge mumble cheerfully as they started off, with a visible lengthening of his gloom at the thought of companionship at death. Strong was marching along with an unearthly decorum that should have made Fairfax suspicious. But instead it cheered his optimistic soul immensely. "Good for you old man," he said encouragingly. "At this rate we'll get you home in no time."
I began to cry again, and wondered why the people did not cheer. There was only a sort of mumble of little shouts and cries and oaths, and the people fell to one side and the other, as the Judge came toward me. "Come, Margaret," he said. I looked up and saw he was all blackened with smoke and soot, except where the sweat had run down in white streaks. His face was close to mine. "Come!
Nor did I trust myself to do aught save mumble inarticulate and mongrel Latin, until it had been safely closed again. Had I sought to exercise my wits on this occasion, my companion permitted small opportunity for words. "Ah! so it is you, you black-faced Arab?" he exclaimed sneeringly, as the Commandant of the guard peered curiously in.
