There was a pretty village girl who promised at one time to provide the district with agreeable table-talk, but unfortunately for Miss Kingsbury and company the affair apparently fell through." "He was, as you say, a model of discretion." "Ah. There are records? Well, you were justified in destroying them." "It is hard to understand." "To understand whom Sir Jacques or the girl?
Kennaston assented, "I am wilfully ignorant. The world adores ignorance; and where ignorance is kissed it is folly to be wise. To-morrow I shall read you a chapter from my 'Defense of Ignorance, which my confiding publisher is going to bring out in the autumn." So the table-talk went on, and now Margaret bore a part therein. However, I do not think we need record it further. Mr.
I drew an elaborate picture of Amos, and deduced from it that the Radicals were likely to be a bar to true progress. 'They have switched their old militancy, I wrote, 'on to another track, for with them it is a matter of conscience to be always militant. I finished up with some very crude remarks on economics culled from the table-talk of the egregious Tombs.
For over a year the young girl gave much of her time to the old lady, and for over a year she was able to lead the Beckman table-talk with her wealth of details about Grandma's sickness. Stella's care of her charge was excellent, entirely lacking in any selfish element. Death hesitated, when he finally called, and for nearly a week the dying woman lay unconscious.
A collection of the table-talk of the clergy whose lives are sketched in Dr. Sprague's volumes would be a rare fund of humor, shrewdness, genius, and originality.

The table-talk was chiefly between the lady and her host; she rarely talked to women when a man was to be had.
Indeed, Elia himself seems to have been conscious that many of his deepest, wisest, best thoughts and ideas, as well as wildest, wittiest, airiest fancies and conceits, were vented in conversation; and a few months before his death he noted down for the entertainment of the readers of the London "Athenaeum," a few specimens of his table-talk.
He had the good taste to see that further personal remarks were not agreeable; and since his last attempted witticism fell flat, did not attempt any more. Our table-talk flagged, and we hastened through the meal. After it was over he asked: "Emily, what shall we do this afternoon?" "Anything you wish," she replied quietly.
Arcubus had now arrived at the investigation of the positive poisons, a fact which might have revealed itself to the man of science by the general narcotico-acrid expression into which he had settled down bodily; while the most casual observer might have gathered from his incoherent contributions to the table-talk that some noxious drug was envenoming the cup of his life.
