Will you live eternally unknown in a corner of the world, concealed from the rest of human kind? Of what use is all your grandeur, pomp, magnificence, if nobody sees it?" "Hold thy peace, prattler," replied the princess, "and do not disturb that happy repose which I have enjoyed so long."
Had it been any other of my children I could have borne it with patience; but my little prattler, the darling and comfort of my old age the little wretch, to be snatched out of life just at his entrance into it; the sweetest, best-tempered boy, who never did a thing to offend me. It was but this morning I gave him his first lesson in Que Genus.
You were much more amiable at Chaumont, in Turena, when you talked to me of 'miei occhi neri." "Hold thy tongue, prattler! Once more, thy Italian is only good for buffoons and rope-dancers, or to accompany the learned dogs." "Ah, Italia mia! Grandchamp, listen to me, and you shall hear the language of the gods. If you were a gallant man, like him who wrote this for a Laure like me!"
And my husband is so stupid and so blinded that he believes this prattler Toulan when he tells him he comes here merely to be with citizen Simon; but they cannot come round me with their talk; they cannot throw dust in my eyes. I shall keep them open, wide open, let me tell you."
Oh, my son! my orphan son! dear faithful prattler around my feet for all these desolate and haunted years, I have doubted for your sake every thing that wedlock was good, that pride of virtuous origin was wise, that human jealousy was any thing but a tiger's selfishness.

That, instead, this volatile, fickle prattler had used her so long as she needed her, and then dropped her heartlessly.
He dropped his underlip, keeping on the conversation with his eyes until he was caught by the masterly playing of a sonata by the chief of the poets of sound. He was caught by it, but he took the close of the introductory section, an allegro con brio, for the end, and she had to hush at him again, and could not resist smiling at her lullaby to the prattler. Patrick smiled in response.
Thy letters gave me exquisite pleasure. They displayed all thy charming self to my view. I pressed every precious line to my lips with nearly as much rapture as I would have done the prattler herself, had she been talking to me all this tenderness instead of writing it. I took up the pen that I might tell thee my thanks, yet rambled almost instantly into mournful repetitions.
She is, I would ask, no wanton prattler of the charms and advantages of youth? 'She has a young adorer that I have dubbed Alonzo, whom she scarce notices. 'Nothing could be better. Alonzo: h'm! A faithful swain? 'Life is his tree, upon which unceasingly he carves his mistress's initials. 'She should not be too cruel.
You must become a prattler also, my love, and say many things for me to Henriette my poor little Henriette! embrace her a thousand times talk of me to her, but do not tell her all I deserve to suffer; my punishment will be, not to be recognised by her on my arrival; that is the penance Henriette will impose on me.
