sprizzling

Updated: May 21, 2025

I have seen Thornton enter a kitchen, with that quiet reassuring step of his, and lay out his instruments on the table, while a kitchen tap with a broken washer was sprizzling within a few feet of him, as calmly and as quietly as if he were in his lecture-room of the Plumbers' College. "You never go into a cellar?" asked Fortescue. "But hang it, man, I don't see how one can avoid it!"
