As an old guardian who is spying on two lovers and has heard their talk together, grows angry, storms, shakes his head and hands and stutters out threats against them; so that mill suddenly shook its brow overgrown with moss and twirled around its many-fingered fist: hardly had it begun to clatter and stir its sharp-toothed jaws, when at the same moment it deafened the love talk of the ponds, and awoke the Count.
"My dear boy," said James, stopping short, "you must forgive me; but what in the world do you mean by that?" "I come from Mr. Roger," said Anthony, "you need not be afraid. He has had an accident and sent for me." "Mr. Roger?" said James interrogatively. "Yes," said Anthony, "he hath a patch over one eye; and stutters somewhat." James gave a sigh of relief.
She tip-toed out to the wood-pile, grabbed her new boarder by the coat collar and shook him till his head played "Johnny Comes Marching Home" against the chopping block. "You lazy thing, you!" says she, with her eyes snapping. "Wake up and tell me what you mean by sleeping when I told you to work." "Sleep?" stutters Asaph, kind of reaching out with his mind for a life-preserver.
Martha stutters, very scared-like, and not taking her eyes off of me to answer him. "Miss Hampton, Martha," I says. "Y-y-y-es, s-sh-she is," says Martha. I wondered what was the matter with her. It is always my luck to get left all alone with my troubles. The doctor and the colonel, they walked right past us when she said yes, and up toward the house, and left her and me standing there.
"What about fox and geese, Jock?" said Cynthia. "Jethro Bass," said Jock, who, by reason of his ability, was a privileged character. "Mark my words, Cynthy, Jethro Bass is an all-fired sight smarter that folks in this town think he be. They don't take notice of him, because he don't say much, and stutters.
"Poor Hetty stutters and turns red and her chin begins to quiver, so I gentled her down and tried to explain, though seeing quick that I must tell her everything but the truth. I reckon nothing in this world can look funnier than a woman wearing them things that had never ought to for one reason or another. There was more reasons than that in Hetty's case.
As it chances, he is afflicted with an impediment of speech, in fact, stutters badly, making all sorts of twitching grimaces in the endeavour to speak correctly. Taking advantage of this, the boy Orundelico "blackamoor," as he is being called has so turned the tables on him by successful mimicry of his speech as to elicit loud laughter from a party of sailors loitering near.
Brandon a government official unloosed his tongue and he talked freely. "Know anybody about here by the name of Cassey?" asked Mr. Brandon. "Cassey? Cassey?" repeated the postmaster ruminatively. "No, there's nobody of that name around here. Or if there is, he's never been to this office to get his mail." "The man I'm speaking of stutters stutters badly," said the inspector.
The first and one of the most common causes is Mimicry, or, as it is probably more often called, Imitation. Mimicry or Imitation is almost wholly confined to children. After reaching the age of discretion, the adult is usually of sufficient intelligence to refrain from mimicking or imitating a person who stutters or stammers.
However it may be, no other overtone could more perfectly have completed the fundamental note. When Moliere introduces to us the two ridiculous doctors, Bahis and Macroton, in L'Amour medecin, he makes one of them speak very slowly, as though scanning his words syllable by syllable, whilst the other stutters. We find the same contrast between the two lawyers in Monsieur de Pourceaugnac.
