Camp said nothing whatever; even his usual mumblings to himself were not heard. He ate slowly, and but little. He was still sitting at the table when all the others had departed. Mrs.
Skinner explanations that reduced her to speechless mumblings of her remaining tooth explanations that probed her and ransacked her and exposed her until at last she was driven to take refuge from a universal convergence of blame in the dignity of inconsolable widowhood. She turned her eye which she constrained to be watery upon the angry Lady of the Manor, and wiped suds from her hands.
Mingling their mumblings with his own mastications, thousands on thousands of sharks, swarming round the dead leviathan, smackingly feasted on its fatness. The few sleepers below in their bunks were often startled by the sharp slapping of their tails against the hull, within a few inches of the sleepers' hearts. This particular feat of the shark seems all but miraculous.
The only articulate words Meaghan uttered in his mumblings were, "Rita, Rita, Rita." Again and again he came over the name. At last I promised him I would run over and bring her to him. That seemed to content him, but his eyes still kept roving round restlessly. Mr. Auld injected some morphine through Jake's arm in order to give his brain the rest that it evidently sorely needed.
It was Essy whom he relied on for responses that were responses and not mere mumblings and mutterings. She was Wesleyan, the one faithful, the one devout person in his household. To-night there was nothing but a mumbling and a muttering. And that was Mary. She was the only one who was joining in the Lord's Prayer. Essy had failed him. Prayers over, there was nothing to sit up for.
His faculties decayed together steadily; the power of his limbs was almost gone, he was extremely deaf, his speech had sunk into mere mumblings; and yet to the end he managed to discover something of his former courtesy and kindness, pressing the hand of any that helped him, presenting me with one of his Latin books, in which he had laboriously traced my name, and in a thousand ways reminding us of the greatness of that loss which it might almost be said we had already suffered.
The experience of others may be of some help to you, but the problem and you have a new problem every time you have a new pupil is only to be solved by yourself. Look over the history of the Chart Class, over whose silly mumblings this boy was dragged till disgust took the place of expectancy, then think of like cases that you have known, and ask yourself what you are going to do about it.
All these referred to me and uttered what I could not clearly distinguish, but knew must be imprecations. Ghostly rappings on the walls and ceiling of my room punctuated unintelligible mumblings of invisible persecutors. I remember distinctly my delusion of the following day Sunday. I seemed to be no longer in the hospital. In some mysterious way I had been spirited aboard a huge ocean liner.
She wore a simple gown of pale blue organdie, clinging to her faultless figure, even at the throat and wrists. At her right was the new-found relative of the Webbs, half a head too short to reach that exquisite ear with his mumblings. About her were several other men. Andrew's capacity for love may not have been very profound, but he loved this woman at once and finally.
The excitement of the journey had worn away. The delay she was disposed to accept philosophically. It took some time for Bradley to unhitch and dispose of the horses to his satisfaction, and theirs, and his mumblings and the sound of their moving about and champing their bits fell a long time on Kate's drowsy ears.
