Nor shall I ever forget the man's stupefaction when he saw that his dagger no longer consisted of anything but the pommel and a harmless and ridiculously small stump of the blade, just long enough to keep it in its sheath. His fury was revealed by a splutter of curses and he at once rushed at one of his friends and snatched his dagger from him.
The strange beast, disturbed by the splutter of the match, began to move again. "Time!" called Woodhouse, with a sudden gleam of mirth, but the thing was not coming at him again. He must have hurt it, he thought, with the broken bottle. He felt a dull pain in his ankle. Probably he was bleeding there. He wondered if it would support him if he tried to stand up. The night outside was very still.
She will have no more of you, divorces you, spurns you, thrusts you from her, and, after the first splutter of wrath is done, then come pains and penalties." "The Empress can do no wrong. I will have you speak respectful words of the Empress." "Oh, be done with that old fable! It sickens me. The woman was mad for love of you, and now she's mad with jealousy.
The candle was burning low so low that I could hardly see the creature. And then, with a last flare and splutter it went out altogether. I was alone with the cat in the dark! It helps one to face a danger when one knows that one has done all that possibly can be done. There is nothing for it then but to quietly await the result.
"But do you think she is beautiful?" "Look here, Splutter, let up on that, will you? You keep harping on one string all the time. Don't bother me!" "But, honest now, Penny, you do think she is beautiful?" "Well, then, confound it no! no! no!" "Oh, yes, you do, Penny. Go ahead now. Don't deny it just because you are talking to me. Own up, now, Penny. You do think she is beautiful?"
There was a splutter and for a moment I saw a whirl of white snowflakes, a patch of glistening mud, and a deep, funnel-shaped hole with my boot at the bottom of it. The match went out, but I judged the direction accurately and pulled my boot out of the ooze. I forced my frozen foot into it and plodded on through the darkness.
Here in the sitting-room arose dim shapes which probably were its accustomed furniture, but which to our excited fancy might be sleds and velocipedes. We groped for a match. There was a splutter that showed red in the hollow of my brother's hand. After the first glad shock, it was our habit to rummage in the general midden outside our stockings.
The bundle made another rush, and suddenly disappeared with a tremendous splash, in the midst of which a leg and an arm appeared! Away went the whole brood of ducks with immense splutter, and Nelly gave a wild scream of terror, supposing and she was right that her brother had fallen into a hole, and that he would be drowned.
As soon, therefore, as we were clear of the harbour I set the course for Jamaica, and away we both went, cheek by jowl, the brig with a roaring breeze over her starboard quarter reeling off her six and a half knots per hour with as much fuss and splutter as though she were going fifteen! For the first two days nothing of any importance occurred.
They have their own set, quite a pleasant one. And fashionable society can rave and splutter but is kept carefully outside their door. They don't razzle-dazzle, at any rate." "Don't what?" asked Ned, puzzled. "Don't razzle-dazzle!" repeated Connie, laughing. "Don't dance on champagne, like many of the society gems?" "The men, you mean." "The men!
