"The Daly who has just been elected alderman?" "Yes, ma'am." Then Mary understood. "Really, Joe!" she said in the stage whisper necessary to the situation. "Maybe she's going to be married after Easter," the guileless prattler continued, to make his confidence complete. "Then you and Frank would lose her."
My old pink feathers! Deary me! I'd forgotten all about them. I've never worn them since the year that " "`In sooth, I know not why I am so sad," quoth the wearer of the feathers, scowling darkly at the frivolous prattler, who straightway hid her head behind her book, and read Salanio's first speech in a tone of meek apology.
"Who knows how many floating mountains we have got to pass through yet?" added the mate. "And who can guess what we shall find beyond them?" replied the sailor. "Don't talk so much, prattler," said Gervique, "and look out on your side. When we have got by them, it'll be time to grumble. Look out for your boat-hook!"
No, what caused this disintegration in a usually fairly fluent prattler with the sex was her whole mental attitude. I don't want to wrong anybody, so I won't go so far as to say that she actually wrote poetry, but her conversation, to my mind, was of a nature calculated to excite the liveliest suspicions.
She had been remarkable, when a tender prattler for an uncommon talent in counterfeiting the walk and manner of a bailiff: in which character she had learned to tap her little playfellows on the shoulder, and to carry them off to imaginary sponging-houses, with a correctness of imitation which was the surprise and delight of all who witnessed her performances, and which was only to be exceeded by her exquisite manner of putting an execution into her doll's house, and taking an exact inventory of the chairs and tables.
I never saw such an alteration. What is become of all your gaiety? Would you think, sir, I used to call her my little prattler? She hath not spoke twenty words this week."

'Hush! you want the Chief Rabbi? 'Ay! ay! 'Rabbi Zimri? 'It may be so. I neither know nor care. 'Neither knows nor cares! This will never do; you must not go on in this way at Jerusalem. You must not think of it. 'Fellow, I see thou art a miserable prattler. Show me our quarter, and I will pay thee well, or be off. 'Be off! Art thou a Hebrew? to say "be off" to any one. You come from Bagdad!
Mansana had seen those same eyes dwelling on Luigi's, and there pulsed through his brain a thought destined to come back to him often enough afterwards, though for the moment it passed away as soon as it was formed. "What a silly, senseless business," he thought, "is all this in which I am entangled." But the little prattler at his side ran on: "Poor Luigi found us in the crowd.
So saying, she sprang out of my arms, and ran out of the room; Lucilla would have followed and prevented her. I respectfully detained her. How could I neglect such an opportunity? Such an opening as the sweet prattler had given me it was impossible to overlook.
There were still two other female members of the family: Katalin, the old lady's daughter, who had been for many years a widow; and the wife of one of her sons, a pretty young woman, who was trying to teach a little prattler at her side to use the golden spoon which she had placed in his small, fat hand, while he laughed and crowed, and the family did their best to guess what he said, or what he most preferred.
