I have that knack! 'Far less wumbled than usual, thought Rogers, as the children danced about the room, making up new ridiculous rhymes, of which 'I'll give you a whack' seemed the most popular. Only Jane Anne was quiet. A courtship even so remote and improbable as between the Wind and a Haystack sent her thoughts inevitably in the dominant direction.
A curious pang tore its way into the big man's heart as he saw him a curious, deep, searching pain that yet left joy all along its trail. Positively moisture dimmed his eyes a second. But Jimbo belonged to some one else. Daddy's wumbled head projected instantly again from the window beneath. 'A box? he asked, equally excited. 'A box from Scotland? Why, we had one only last month.
Or was it part of the Story his cousin had wumbled into his ear when he only partly listened? 'I believe I dreamed it, he smiled to himself at last in despair. 'I do believe it was a dream a fragment of some jolly dream I had in my Fairyland of little Bourcelles! Children, stars, Fairyland, dreams these brought it somehow.
'She even talks of sending Edward to Oxford, too! He cut a kind of wumbled caper in his pleasure and excitement. 'She loves children then, evidently? asked the other, with a coolness that was calculated to hide other feelings. He rubbed his face in the rough towel as though the skin must come off.

'We were just passing the Citadelle fountain. I saw the big star upon the top of Boudry, and made a remark about it. His cousin was getting sadly wumbled. He tried to put severity and concentration into his voice.
We call her the little Grafin. His voice wumbled a trifle thickly in his beard. 'She was good enough to like the story our story, you know and wrote to me 'My story, said a silvery, laughing voice. And Rogers bowed politely, and with a moment's dizziness, at two bright smiling eyes that watched him out of the little shadow standing between him and the children. He was aware of grandeur.
'Ah! said Mother, seizing at his comprehensible scrap with energy. 'That is a story. 'If I don't get it wumbled in the writing down, her husband continued, fairly bubbling over.

'The sea of thought sends waves in all directions. They roll into different harbours. I caught the feeling, he supplied the form, but this other lit the original fire! And further than this wumbled conclusion he could not get.
And his enormous mountain-boots received generous treatment too, for in these he went for his long lonely walks when he thought out his stories among the woods and valleys, coming home with joy upon his face 'I got a splendid idea to-day a magnificent story if only I can get it on to paper before it's gone...! They understood his difficulty now: the 'idea' was wumbled before he could fashion it.
