German spies are encouraged by German propagandists, who are not always German but may be Americans, or even British by birth, but are none the less deadly on that account. The paid spy has no nationality; he is true to no one but the devil, and he and his abettors fatten on treachery. His abettors are those who repeat sneering and slurring remarks about our conduct of the war.
To string incongruities and absurdities together in a wandering and sometimes purposeless way, and seem innocently unaware that they are absurdities, is the basis of the American art, if my position is correct. Another feature is the slurring of the point. A third is the dropping of a studied remark apparently without knowing it, as if one where thinking aloud. The fourth and last is the pause.
I drew a long breath and hurried on, slurring over the worst of it. "They had got separated. Hans was about done when we found him he died in a few minutes but he told us where to go. Then we went to look for your father. We found him; too late to do any good. We buried him both of them and came on here."
They all but matched a skin honey-white with that even, sombre, untransparent tone that belongs to a temperament at once bilious and robust. For the rest, Nature had aimed nobly at the significance of the whole, slurring the details.
The shrillness of hysteria was at the edge of her voice, as well as a subtle slurring of sounds. Brion didn't try to reason with her or bother to explain. She had a concussion from the blow, that much was obvious. He had her sit and rest while he made what preparations he could for the long walk. Clothing first.
"When she gets to know those girls she won't have any more to do with them than we do." "And there was a time, even after they made those first slurring remarks about Amy, that they seemed real nice," spoke Grace. "It was too good to last," asserted Mollie. "Oh the cat!" Mollie shot out the word as though she would like to exercise some of the proclivities of a feline herself, and scratch.
He speaks with that nicety of pronunciation of the old New Englander, never slurring his syllables, and he has a really fine face, the kind of face one doesn't often see nowadays. I kept looking at it, wondering what was the matter with it, and at last I realized what it lacked will, desire, ambition, it was what a second-rate sculptor might have made of Bradford, for instance.
I remember to have heard in my childhood some old people whose playing was singularly hopping. Then, there came a reaction, and with it a passion for slurring the notes. When I was Stamaty's pupil, it was considered most difficult to "tie" the notes; that required, however, only dexterity and suppleness. "When she learns to 'tie, she will know how to play," said the mother of a young pianist.
As he fixed on these words he failed to remember how little probable it is that a lover should ever be able to use the phrases he arranges. On Monday he came, and asked for Mrs. Lopez, slurring over the word as best he could. The butler said his mistress was at home. Since the death of the man he had so thoroughly despised, the old servant had never called her Mrs. Lopez.
Each thought: This isn't the right thing... she thought further: he isn't thoughtful... he thought further: the poor thing, how distant she is from me... then they went rowing. XII. Bar scene in Nuremberg: Kunstmayer. They are all blissfully drunk and can hardly speak clearly anymore. Slurring, someone says: "Dede do dadä". What are these brutish sleepers worth?
