On the second day he grew communicative and talked rather pompously to the exchange editor. He prated of his past achievements as a newspaper man in other cities. He had a cheerful way of talking in a voice that was high but not loud. His undaunted manner of uttering self-praise caused the exchange editor to wink at the editorial writer.
There is a devil of a fellow called Charles Wogan." The secretary nodded his head. "A mad Irishman who has vowed to free her Highness." "He has set out from Strasbourg with that aim." "He will hang for it, then, but he will never rescue her;" and the secretary began to laugh. "I cannot upon my honour vex the Prince again because a gallows-bird has prated in his cups."
And the enamored, if usurping, duke wept bitterly and tore his hair to such an extent he totally destroyed his best toupet. And privily the Guy Fawkes came into the presence of the exiled duke and prated of a restoration to ancestral dignities. And he was spurned by a certain highly intelligent person who considered it both tedious and ridiculous to play at being emperor of a backyard.
Why not wring their hearts instead, and hold this thing up before them as it is, and shake it in their faces? Show it to them in all its horror bleeding, diseased and naked, an offence to our humanity, and to our prated love of liberty, and to our God." The young man threw himself eagerly forward and beat the map with his open palm.
Considering how much has been said, and sung, and written, and recorded, and prated, and imagined, it is strange to think how little is ever told us directly about life; we see it in glimpses and flashes, through half-open doors, or as one sees it from a train gliding into a great town, and looks into back windows and yards sheltered from the street.
If however, they abandon all claim to the comradeship that has been so much prated about, swearing by the Three Kings of Cologne faithfully to follow me, and obey my every word without cavil or argument, I will pardon them, but the first man who rebels will show that my clemency has been misplaced, and I can assure them that it shall not be exercised again.
Instead of replying, to me, he said he had forgotten to acquaint me with a most essential particular: it was, that I must take care not to visit anybody until I had been first visited. Thereupon he broke out afresh, prated, talked about the dignity of the King, and did not allow me the opportunity of saying another word. I abridged my visit, therefore, and went away.
But policy is as necessary to our plans as boldness. I did not wish to startle Caesar to lose his co-operation perhaps to send him off with an information against us to Cicero and Catulus. He was so indignant at your suggestion that all my dissimulation was scarcely sufficient to prevent a total rupture." "Indignant! The Gods confound him! He prated about humanity, and generosity, and moderation.
She was also extremely jealous, and had a way of signifying disapproval of my methods that led to many coldnesses and even bickerings between us, which I now see to have been undignified. I brought the following accusations against her: That she prated too much about right and wrong. That she was a martinet.
Clysters he prated on; electuaries; troches; the weed that the Gael of him called slanlus or "heal-all;" of unguents loathsomely compounded, but at greatest length and with fullest rapture of his vile phlebotomy. "Six ounces, your Grace!" he cried gleefully, in a laughable high falsetto, holding up the bowl with trembling fingers as if he proffered for the ducal cheer the very flagon of Hebe.
