Like a certain French talker, 'his sentences were like cats: he showered them into air and they found their feet without trouble. Dora sat through it, bewildered and miserable.
You must have learned the art of silence from these taciturn Norwegians. I think I like silent men." "Naturally," said Wyllis, "since you have decided to marry the most brilliant talker you know." Both were silent for a time, listening to the sighing of the hot wind through the parched morning-glory vines. Margaret spoke first.
What I mean are those ample, apparently open talks between people who have found each other out; who know the cardboard and lath and plaster of the architectural arrangements or suspect the water-supply and drainage behind; talks where one knows that the other is shirking some practical conclusion, divagating into the abstract, and has to pick his way among hidden interests and vanities, or avert his eyes from moral vistas which he knows of.... "So-and-so is such a delightful talker so witty and so wonderfully unprejudiced; I cannot understand why you don't cultivate him or her."
Ally's dragging pace had not carried her far from the Frys' gate when she was stopped by old Mrs. Sollas, who was a great talker, and spoke very slowly because she had never been able to get used to her new teeth from Hepburn.

"You may have heard this before," says he, "but it is so good that it will bear repetition." He tries to disguise his poverty of thought in a masquerade of ornate language.

Again, there is the tenacious talker, who refuses to release you though you concede his arguments.
The fact that he wished to make my acquaintance shows, no doubt, that I have sailed into his ken, and that he wishes to add me to his collection. I felt myself singularly unrewarding. I am not a talker at the best of times, and to feel that I am expected to be witty and suggestive is the last straw. Lord Wilburton discoursed fluently and agreeably.
Nothing could be less commonplace, nothing less conventional, than his appearance in a room or in the streets. His quick, impulsive nature made him a great talker, and conspicuously convivial, yea, convivial, at times, up to heights of vinous glory which the Currans and Sheridans shrank not from, but which a respectable age discourages.
He was evidently something of a talker, and liked to hear the sound of his own voice; but Cuthbert was of the opinion that the presence of Owen had rather upset the big chap, and that some of this patter was intended to hide his confusion, and allow him to figure out his standing there.
"He's your roommate; surely you have more influence with him than anybody else has. Couldn't you " He shook his head slowly, while upon his face the faintly indicated modellings of a grin hinted of an inner laughter at some surreptitious thought. "Well, you know, Fred says himself sometimes, I don't seem to be much of a talker exactly!" "I know. But don't you see? That sort of thing is contagious.
