I don't think people that talk over their victuals are like to say anything very great, especially if they get their heads muddled with strong drink before they begin jabberin'. The Bombazine uttered this with a sugary sourness, as if the words had been steeped in a solution of acetate of lead. The boys of my time used to call a hit like this a "side-winder." I must finish this woman.
Of that muddled company, he was the only one who had the least knowledge of their whereabouts or guessed that those responsible for the signal-fire were Colonel Gideon Ward and Eleazar Bodge. He followed behind, steeling his soul to meet those victims of the complicated plot. An astonished bleat from Hiram Look, who led the column, announced them.
In order not to make you wait, I have chosen one which is already well known. My story is to be called 'The husband, the wife, and the lover. We are not all single men here, and a wise proverb says that one must never speak " In spite of his muddled brain, the artist did not finish his quotation.
I telegraphed to you not to come, last week.... Wasn't it last week?... Well then yesterday.... They ought never to have let you in.... There! I get muddled when I talk...." She did, but it did not amount to wandering.
Thus it came about that the epic cycle of Charlemagne, after supplanting in men's minds the grand sagas of the pagan North, was itself supplanted by the Arthurian cycle; that the Frankish stories absorbed the wholly discrepant elements of their more fortunate Keltic rivals; that both cycles, having lost all character through fusion and through obliteration by time, became more meaningless generation by generation and year by year, until when the Middle Ages had come to an end, and the great poets of the Renaissance were ready to give this old mediæval epic stuff a definitive and durable artistic shape, there came to the hands of Boiardo and Ariosto, of Tasso and Spenser, only a strange, trumpery material, muddled by jongleurs and romance writers, and reduced to mere fairy stuff, taken seriously only by Don Quixote, and by the authors of the volumes of insane twaddle called after Amadis of Gaul and all his kinsmen.
Old echoes of "Dunkirk House," and the ill- gotten gains of Ministers who fattened on the plunder of poor men, were doubtless ringing in their muddled heads. It would be absurd to attribute any political meaning to the incident, or to suppose that it had any connivance from the French Government. The inn where Clarendon alighted was attacked by the riotous mob.
No offence, sir," said the Cellarman, opening the door to go out, and looking in again ominously before he shut it. "I'm muddled and molloncolly, I grant you. But I'm an old servant of Pebbleson Nephew, and I wish you well through them six cases of red wine." Left by himself, Vendale laughed, and took up his pen.

'Humph! it's come to be half-bottle, half-beauty, with your worship, Greg, I suspect. 'No. I tell you, William, she's got her mind on that fellow. You can't po'chay her. 'After he jilted her for her sister? Wrong, Greg, wrong. You are muddled. She has a fright about matrimony a common thing at her age, I am told. Where's the man? 'In the Bench, of course. Where'd you have him? 'I, sir?
Let 'er kick Casey Ry'n can lead 'er an' tame 'er an' make'r eat outa 's hand!" Following Joe, Casey stepped high over a rock no bigger than his fist. With a lurch he straightened and tried to pull his muddled wits out of the fog that was fast enveloping them. Dimly he sensed the importance of this discovery which Joe had forced upon him.
