His garrulity is the garrulity of old age in its last flickering moments. He mumbles and mutters. He chuckles to himself. If you don't hear his message now and at once, it's my solemn conviction you will never hear it."

"All men are that way. My dear, your Uncle Jim mumbles woolens even during Dog Days. No, you mustn't take things so seriously, Cicily. You are not the only wife who has to suffer in this way.

The Megabuck Moose is going through the cards, and the Megabuck Mole is feeding the answers into the Megabuck Memory Machine, and the Megabuck Moll in maidenly modesty mumbles madly " "Help him," Scotty interrupted. "His lips are stuck together. He can't say anything but mmmmm." But Barby was interested now.
