As for Twaddles and Dot, the teacher had declared that never, never, could she consent to calling children by such "queer" names. But, after a while, she had grown used to the queer names and, like every one else in Oak Hill, forgot that the four little Blossoms had any others. Dot sensibly thought that Twaddle should make his own explanation, and that small boy did, rather shamefacedly.
"I need hardly inform you," interrupted Weems, "that those crude ideas of political economy are not what we modern thinkers accept. Even John Stuart but I will tell you about that afterwards. Please let me hear how the diamonds are made. Never mind about the other twaddle. It pains one to listen to it." "As I told you, the actual Recipe is not in the diary here.
And while they sit and stuff themselves, or loll about afterward like gorged snakes, they think it is smart to laugh at all the sweet and beautiful things in life, and to sneer at people who believe in ideals, and to talk about mankind being merely a fortuitous product of fermentation, and twaddle of that sort. It makes me sick!"
Because of this attitude the conference, which ought to have had the character of an assembly deciding affairs of state, took on the character of a boisterous meeting, which lasted several days of unending twaddle. What the Bolsheviki wanted was a verbal victory to have shouted more loudly than their opponents. The same speeches were repeated every day.
And you talk sarcastically about my leisure, and rally me upon the subject of that famous system, which I used to boast was a simplification of life. If I might judge from your twaddle, you imagine me to be saddled with the very cares and worries from which I justly boasted that I was exempt.
Many years ago I realised this over Rossetti's poem "Cloud Confines." It is made out of a little lump of tawdry material which says nothing, is, indeed, mere twaddle. Yet it is wrought with so marvellous a technique that we seem to catch in it a far-away echo of voices that were heard when the morning stars sang together, and it clings tremulously to the memory for ever.
We are souls, and we shall be angels, with blue wings on our shoulder-blades. Do come to my assistance: is it not Tertullian who says that the blessed shall travel from star to star? Very well. We shall be the grasshoppers of the stars. And then, besides, we shall see God. Ta, ta, ta! What twaddle all these paradises are! God is a nonsensical monster.
Some of our statesmen over home are going to look pretty foolish now in the face of things they can't understand, I hope you're not going to be one of them." "Twaddle!" he cried. "I'm going to the steamship offices to-day and argue as I never argued for a vote." His daughter saw that he was determined; and, wise from long experience, she did not try to dissuade him.
"'When the little fishes fly Like swallows in the sky, An American will write an American book," said Bart, laughing. "But your question is a good answer to my solemn twaddle on literature." "No, I don't quite rate it as twaddle," said Ida. "Don't you though?" asked Bart. "No," seriously. "Now what is the effect of our American literature upon the general character of English literature?
The couples were waiting. "Ri tum ti tum ti tum ti tum tiddy iddy." For all that, she did not finish the tune. In the middle of it she said to David, "'Ri tum ti tum can you get through this without me? 'ri tum." "If I can get through life without you, I can surely get through this twaddle: 'ri tum ti tum ti tum ti tum tiddy iddy." Lucy started from her seat, leaving David plowing solo.
