"Now," cried Herr Grosse cheerfully, "the talkings is all done. Gott be thanked, the eatings may begin!" Lucilla left her chair for the second time. "Herr Grosse," she said, "where are you?" "Here, my dears!" She crossed the room to the table at which he was sitting, already occupied in carving his favorite dish. "Did you say you must use a knife to make me see?" she asked quite calmly.
Dim oblivion of Right and Wrong, among the masses of your population, will come; doubts as to Right and Wrong, indistinct notion that Right and Wrong are not eternal, but accidental, and settled by uncertain votings and talkings, will come. Prurient influenza of Platform Benevolence, and "Paradise to All-and-sundry," will come.
Cicely Rochford came close to Katharine and measured her neck with the span of her small hand. 'There is room! she said. 'Hast a long and a straight neck. Her husband muttered that he liked not these talkings. By diligent avoidance of such, he had kept his own hair and neck uncut in troublesome times. 'I will take thee to another place, Cicely threw at him over her shoulder.
As they stood before the door at last and waited, after beating the great iron knocker on the iron plate, a kind of despair came down on Marjorie. They had advanced just so far in two months as to be allowed to speak with the prisoner; and, from her talkings with Mr. Biddell, had understood how little that was.
But there had been no private walkings, and no talkings that could properly be called private. There was a certain book which Fanny kept, containing the names of all the poor people in the parish, to which Mr. Saul had access equally with herself; but its contents were of a most prosaic nature, and when she had sat over it in the rectory drawing-room, with Mr.
The old knight had recovered his quiet; he had his hand upon his haunch, and spoke with his air of wisdom: 'I would have you to cease these talkings of dangerous things, he said. 'I am Rochford of Bosworth Hedge. I have kept my head and my lands, and my legs from chains and how but by leaving to talk of dangerous things? Katharine moved suddenly in her chair.
She knew her child too well, and was too clear and pure in her own mind, to suppose that there was anything wrong in this; that clandestine talkings were arranged, or anything planned in secret. What she feared was that which really occurred. The door was left open, and as Madeline passed Felix would say a word, and then Madeline would pause and answer him.
Ching would certainly be caught if he ventured out, for the enemy never all lay down to sleep together; and, what was worse, I felt convinced, though in a confused way, that sooner or later the delirious mutterings and talkings of Tom Jecks must be heard. I can only remember patches of that day.
Where the difficulty would come in would be in the absence of darker qualities, which would make literary chiaroscuro impossible. It is quite likely, though, that as a result of the talkings the subject would unwittingly present the novelist with a real character who would appear in his next work of fiction, and be entirely unrecognized either by the reader of the biography or its subject.
Then there was an intensified continuation of the above-mentioned signs of enjoyment, talkings and haw-haws, runnings upstairs and runnings down, a slamming of doors and a clinking of cups and glasses; till the proudest adjoining tenant without friends on his own side of the partition might have been tempted to wish for entrance to that merry dwelling, if only to know the cause of these fluctuations of hilarity, and to see if the guests were really so numerous, and the observations so very amusing as they seemed.
