Cutts couldn't speak; he could only stutter and point at the sack with 'is finger, and Henery Walker, as was getting curious, lifted up the other end of it and out rolled a score of as fine cabbages as you could wish to see. I never see people so astonished afore in all my born days, and as for Bob Pretty, 'e stood staring at them cabbages as if 'e couldn't believe 'is eyesight.
He held down his head; he could not recollect it; all the songs of the good old days were mixed up in his head. As they made up their minds to leave him alone, he seemed to remember, and began to stutter in a cavernous voice: "Trou la la, trou la la, Trou la, trou la, trou la la!"
Engaged to a very nice girl, named Delia. Fairly new, she was cigarettes liked me because I was human and original. Considered I was like Lamb on the strength of the stutter, I believe. Father, an eminent authority on postage stamps. She read a great deal in the British Museum. She had no mother. Indeed, I had the happiest prospects a young man could have. I never went to theatres in those days.
Come with me, quick, afore the train starts. "Still I didn't say anything, nothin' sane anyhow. 'Keziah! I managed to stutter. "'Come! says she. 'Hurry! I want you to get off here. I've come here on purpose to meet you. I must talk with you; it's important. You can go to Trumet on the next train, to-night. But now I must talk with you. I MUST. Won't you please come, Nat? "Well, I went.
Stanley's for several years; his account follows: "Hill says: 'Would get in a passion when couldn't have his own way; have heard him stutter; always in some scrape or other after first went to college; eyes blue; hair brown; sharp enough when he pleased, but always heard he hated books; short for his age when first went to sea, and thin; had grown three or four inches when he came back; should have thought him five feet eight or nine, when last saw him; face grown fuller and red, when came home."
At the sound of his voice so evidently addressing me, I look up look at him. "Yes! with pleasure! when you like!" I answer heartily, and I neither mumble nor stutter, nor do I feel any disposition to drop my eyes. I like to look at him. For the rest of dinner I am absolutely mute, I make only one other remark, and that is a request to one of the footmen to give me some water. The evening passes.
I awakened abruptly to discover Nigger clawing my hair; aye, and when I looked up and saw his convulsed face and gleaming, bulging eyes, I knew at once he had seen Nils. He was too scared to talk; he could only stutter. "Gug-gug-gug-God!" But he pointed into the other foc'sle. Well, my bowels were water, as the saying is, but nevertheless I turned out promptly. I had to. Other men were waking up.
They had been laboriously deciphering a letter of considerable length and peculiar illegibility, and the slow but irascible Stutter had been swearing in disjointed syllables, his blue eyes glaring angrily across the gully, where numerous moving figures, conspicuous in blue and red shirts, were plainly visible about the shaft-hole of the "Independence," the next claim below them on the ledge.
'Lo-ok out! lo-ok out! the exhausted horseman articulated with effort, in a sort of stutter: 'lo-ok out, friend! Yermolai shot... the wounded hare rolled head over heels on the smooth dry grass, leaped into the air, and squealed piteously in the teeth of a worrying dog. The hounds crowded about her.
From the darkness behind them a German flare soared up and burst, throwing up bushes and shattered buildings, sandbag parapets, broken tree-stumps, sticks and stones in luminous-edged silhouette. A machine-gun burst into a stutter of fire, the reports sounding faint at first and louder and louder as the muzzle swept round in its arc.
