He showed me a picture of Faraday, which is wonderfully fine: I am almost inclined to get it: it has a curious likeness to Keble, only with a calm, earnest look unlike the latter's Flibbertigibbet, fanatical, twinkling expression. Did ever anybody apply such adjectives to John Keble before!
"I don't know what she sees in that little flibbertigibbet," he burst out, but noticing that they were no longer alone, he turned and again began examining the lustre. "They tell me Jolyon's bought another house," said his father's voice close by; "he must have a lot of money he must have more money than he knows what to do with! Montpellier Square, they say; close to Soames!
He was captivated by her more so than by Flossy, who amused him as a flibbertigibbet, but who seemed to him to lack the serious cast of character which he felt that he discerned beneath the sprightliness of this new charmer. Mr. Parsons was what he called a "stickler" for the dignity of a serious demeanor.
Her mate snapped her fingers in reply, and catching Freckles' hand raced her down the long dormitory, down the two long flights of stairs to the schoolroom where Sister Angelica was giving a lesson to the younger girls. "Well, Flibbertigibbet, what is it now?" said the sister smiling into the eager face at her elbow.
She clapped her hands to show her approval and catching up the skirt of her dainty white frock, slowly raised one leg at a right angle to her body and stood so for a moment, to the intense admiration of the other girls. "That's what they call me here," said Flibbertigibbet when they got down to conversation again. "What is hers?" asked the Marchioness, pointing to Freckles.
The offender was leniently dealt with in consideration of his immature years, but again and again, at intervals of a few months, the flibbertigibbet turned up in the most unlooked-for quarters, impudently asserting, on being questioned, that he had entered "the same way as before," and that he could, any time he pleased, find his way into the palace.
"If you and John are looking for Natalie," she said, "you'll find her in the library with Dad. How do you do, John?" "Pretty well, I thank you, Flibbertigibbet. It is really your husband whom I came to see, Mrs. Rathbawne. I've a little business with him, so, for the moment, I'll have to give Natalie the cold shoulder." "Oh!" said Mrs. Rathbawne, lifting her fat hands.
I'll bet she don't know nothin' 'bout Her," said Flibbertigibbet in a triumphant aside to Freckles. The Marchioness' eyes opened wider upon the two children across the way. "That is the mother of Our Lord, isn't it?" she said in her dumb way. The two children nodded; no words seemed to come readily just then, for Alice Maud Mary had given them a surprise. They crossed themselves.
'If your ladyship were a Queen I would not be a Queen's cousin's whipping post. His arms jerked with the spasms of his rage like those of a marionette. 'A shame that learned men should be so beaten! Margot's gruff voice uttered. Katharine turned upon her. 'That is what made you speak e'ennow. You have been with this flibbertigibbet.
Found by this Flibbertigibbet of a fellow, while I, Simon de Gex, erstwhile M.P., was fooling about War Offices and regiments! It was grotesque. It was monstrous. It ought not to have been allowed. And yet it saved me a vast amount of trouble. "I'm damned!" said I. Anastasius had just enough English to understand.
