Tarbell would answer, "Exactly, my love, by all means; and so is your friend Mrs. Pegley a great talker, and a fine-looking woman." "Then give her all the rights you give to Mr. Pope," cried Mrs. Tarbell. "She shall have 'em, and welcome," said Tarbell; but he did not tell his wife that he had voted for Mr.
By nature Johnson was fitted to be a talker. He was happiest when he had intelligent listeners. Accordingly, he and Sir Joshua Reynolds, the artist, founded the famous Literary Club in 1764. During Johnson's lifetime this had for members such men as Edmund Burke, Oliver Goldsmith, Charles James Fox, James Boswell, Edward Gibbon, and David Garrick.
He is a copious, eloquent, and witty talker, and his remarkable charm of manner accounts, in part at any rate, for his immense popularity. Assuredly no monarchy could have more distinguished representatives than this Republic. The desire of the Republic to "play fair" was manifested in another little trait that interested me a good deal.
The excessive talker can only be in one gathering at a time, and there is the comfort of thinking that everywhere else other fellow-citizens who have something to say may get a chance of delivering themselves; but the exorbitant writer can occupy space and spread over it the more or less agreeable flavour of his mind in four "mediums" at once, and on subjects taken from the four winds.
If we go the other way, though, I can lead the way myself, and we need only take the fakir to show us how to open the door." "Very well," said Brown. "Let's get a move on, though! I'm beginning to think that you're a better talker than a fighter, Juggut Khan!" "Yes, sahib? I trust there will be no fighting!"
Now Shakspere was a great talker, who enraptured the listeners, and was himself so rapt in his speech that he could scarcely come to a close; but when he was alone with his art, then and then only did he rise to the height of his great argument, and all the talk was but as the fallen mortar and stony chips lying about the walls of the great temple of his drama.
"Don't mistake me, Señor Rey," he added. "The man I wish to talk with can only prosper for my coming." "Frequently it happens that the one searched for in Equatoria is the last found," the Spaniard observed. Linen, silver, crystal and candle-radiance were superbly blended upon the small round table between them. Rey, as a talker, was artful and inspiriting.
Pratt found it hard to get into conversation with her on any but the most ephemeral subjects. For instance, when he hinted about Captain Rugley's adventures on the Border: "Your father is a very interesting talker. He has seen and done so much." "Yes," said Frances. "And how adventurous his life must have been! I'd love to get him in a story-telling mood some day."
But she was not merely a fluent talker, never at a loss for a word, a phrase or a metaphor; had this been her crowning recommendation, Dr. Johnson's long-standing friendship would never have been gained. Her talk was always sensible the outcome of a well-furnished, retentive mind. Her judgment was sound, her discrimination delicate, and her grasp of fundamental truths consistently firm.
They afforded her no companion that could make amends for what she had left behind, nor that could teach her to think of Norland with less regret than ever. Neither Lady Middleton nor Mrs. Jennings could supply to her the conversation she missed; although the latter was an everlasting talker, and from the first had regarded her with a kindness which ensured her a large share of her discourse.
