Bilton talked; positively, there wasn't at any moment the smallest pause in the flow. "It's a disease," thought Anna-Rose, who had several things she wanted to say herself, and found herself hopelessly muzzled. "No wonder Mr. Bilton preferred heaven," thought Anna-Felicitas, also a little restless at the completeness of her muzzling.
Arbuthnot of the old saying that when such a stillness falls on any company someone must be walking over their graves is suddenly broken. Mr. Dallas jumps to his feet. He is one of those men who never like sitting still very long. "May I have another lump of sugar, Miss Burton? We were speaking of Paris, talk of muzzling the press, they know how to muzzle their press in grim earnest in Paris!
The bailies had proclaimed a general muzzling, and his master, studying strength and economy mainly, had encompassed his huge jaws in a home-made apparatus constructed out of the leather of some ancient breechin.

It did not come from either Marjorie or her leading man.

In short, the distaste of the worthy naturalist for beef was not unlike that which the shepherd sometimes produces, by first muzzling and fettering his delinquent dog, and then leaving him as a stepping stone for the whole flock to use in its transit over a wall, or through the opening of a sheep-fold; a process which is said to produce in the culprit a species of surfeit, on the subject of mutton, for ever after.
During the first three years of his control, however, except for the rigorous suppression of unitary movements and the muzzling of the press, few signs appeared of the "black night of Argentine history" which was soon to close down on the land.
