I had not even laughed at him when here he began to mumble "that mistake, you know made a confounded ass of myself." I broke in by saying rather warmly that for me such a mistake was not a matter to laugh at. He sat down and drank deliberately some coffee, emptying the small cup to the last drop. "That does not mean I admit for a moment the cap fitted," he declared distinctly. "No?" I said.
But Madeleine was not to be daunted by the arrogance of any landlady alive. "Why? Is he so irregular?" she asked. She had placed her foot in the opening of the door, and now, by a skilful movement, inserted herself bodily into the passage. Frau Krause, baffled, could do no more than mumble a: "Well, if you like to wait!" and point out the room.
"I didn't in the least get your name," he broke off. "The good angel flew away so soon." I told him. "Oh, yes, Miss Vars. Thank you. Mine's Jennings. People mumble names so in introductions." He glanced around at the piles of raincoats and racks of umbrellas. I already had my coat on. "You weren't just going, were you?" he inquired brightly. "For if you were, so was I, too.
By the Cross, over which these Jesuits mumble, but you are worth a dance with death!" "Had you a mother, Monsieur?" This unexpected question made him widen his eyes. "Truly, else I had not been here." "Did she die in peace?" He frowned. "It matters not how she died." He sat on the edge of the table and swung one leg to and fro.
Paddy began to mumble to himself, "Bedad, he was under the bed fast enough without offering her a stool by the fire and a small drop of drink which would be no more than decent with him so fond of her. I am not knowing the ways of these people." In despair of his long tongue I made try to change the talking. "We are off for London, Paddy. How are you for it?" "London, is it?" said he warily.
"Him mebbe fine gentleman," muttered the Canadian to the Major; "but if so he make a disguise of it. Once I knew a dog thief who resemble him; but perhaps Mumble he safe as long as Miss Myrtle an' Miss Beth they with him." "Don't worry," said the Major, consolingly. "I'll keep my eye on the rascal. But he's a fine driver, isn't he?" "Oh, that!" retorted Wampus, scornfully.
I should get home, too, soon enough and I dozed, and thought, and suffered fearfully. I had found a little pebble; I wiped it clean on my coat sleeve and put it into my mouth so that I might have something to mumble. Otherwise I did not stir, and didn't even wink an eyelid. People came and went; the noise of cars, the tramp of hoofs, and chatter of tongues filled the air.
And this is on the condition that neither you nor she are to mention her sister Diana to me ever again, whether she is ill, or well, or anything about her. As to your reading to me, I've no doubt you either mumble or squeak, and I couldn't bear it, so pray don't imagine you'll be the least use while she's away, or let her imagine it."
Not a soul dared to speak pity; an' one afternoon, when old Gregory hissel' met her and began to mumble that 'he trusted, an' 'he had little doubt, an' 'nobody would be gladder than he if it proved to be a mistake, she held her skirt aside an' went by with a look that turned 'en to dirt, as he said.
I therefore endeavored to mumble out something about his hurried departure and the annoyance of such a sentence, when he stopped me suddenly. "Oh, as to that, I fancy the matter is arranged already; I should have had a letter from the War Office." "Yes, there is one here; it came three hours ago."
