However, you would have thought it was of no import here. Custom and indifference had allowed it to sink to a mumble.
All I would do was to mumble such words as Raffles actually put into my mouth, and that I doubt not with a thoroughly evil grace. "So you saw my name in the list of passengers and came in search of me? Good old Bunny; I say, though, I wish you'd share my cabin. I've got a beauty on the promenade deck, but they wouldn't promise to keep me by myself.
I heard him mumble, with almost incredible, sardonic contempt, that, indeed, the senor would soon have none but dead friends if he refrained from striking at his enemies. Had the senor taken the very excellent opportunity afforded by Providence, and that any sane Christian man would have taken to let him stab the Juez O'Brien we should not then be wandering in a little boat. What folly!
Then Mame begins again to mumble; once again she yields to emotion under the harsh flame of the lamp, and once again her eyes grow dim in her complicated Japanese mask that is crowned with cotton-wool, and something dimly shining flows from them. The tears of the sensitive old soul plash on that lip so voluminous that it seems a sort of heart.
His face was lop-sided, like his figure, and his speech came in a hollow mumble which was difficult to follow. Joseph was content to pass as the harmless lunatic of the parish, but there was a shrewdly humorous twinkle in his eye which damaged his pretensions with the more discerning sort of people. "I do not want to know what you said yesterday," his lordship answered, tartly.

From their demeanor it looked as though they were really bent upon mischief, but Kirk soon saw that an official had come in answer to his call.
What it all really most comes to, you feel again, is that none of his impulses prospered in solitude, or, for that matter, were so much as permitted to mumble their least scrap there; he was predestined and condemned to sociability, which no league of neglect could have deprived him of even had it speculatively tried: whereby what was it but his own image that he most saw reflected in other faces?
The clergyman and the guide also had their eyes on her, the latter waiting for the effect of his climax. "It must be a consolation to you " the clergyman began to mumble. But Miss Bracy did not turn. Mr. Frank withdrew his eyes from her and fixed them again on the gaudy tablecloth. She continued to stare up at he clean ice-fields, the pencilled cliffs. She did not even move.
"I'm feeling rather this affair, you know, has upset me. I couldn't give proper attention " His sentence petered out into a hesitating mumble, and the officer looked at him in evident surprise at his nervous, embarrassed manner. His own attitude, however, was perfectly firm, though polite.
“He talks very coherently,” thought Ivan, “though he does mumble; what’s the derangement of his faculties that Herzenstube talked of?” “You are cunning with me, damn you!” he exclaimed, getting angry. “But I thought at the time that you quite guessed,” Smerdyakov parried with the simplest air. “If I’d guessed, I should have stayed,” cried Ivan.
