But I heeded not the board which speaks of prosecution. I came to gather bluebells, innocent bluebells! merely that and no more, to adorn my humble cot, I have a cot not far from here. And as for my identity, my name is Adderley Julian Adderley a poor scribbler of rhymes a votre service!" He waved his hat with a grand flourish again, and smiled.
The shepherd, the sorter of the wool, the wool-comber or carder, the dyer, the scribbler, the spinner, the weaver, the fuller, the dresser, with many others, must all join their different arts in order to complete even this homely production.
Turner's turnovers were "sim-ply de-lic-ious," and they had teased their mother ever since to make one for their new friend. But they stopped short at sight of the light and dark head so close together over something they did not know about, and when Martha drew nearer and informed the dark-haired scribbler that she had "brought it," Kate merely nodded her head and continued scribbling.
I don't deny Life's there, he swept his hand towards the open window 'in that frantic Tophet we call London; but there's no focus, no point of vantage. Even a scribbler only gets it piecemeal and through a dulled medium.

Every scribbler, almost, has had his little fling at it, at one time or another; I had mine fifteen years ago.
Nor is it merely such exquisite authors as Moore that are doomed to consume the oil of future antiquaries. Many a poor scribbler, who is now, apparently, sent to oblivion by pastrycooks and cheese-mongers, will then rise again in fragments, and flourish in learned immortality. After all, thought I, time is not such an invariable destroyer as he is represented.
'What I say of physic generally, may serve AS AN EXAMPLE OF ALL OTHER SCIENCES, says this same scribbler, under his scribbling cognomen. 'We certainly intend to comprehend them all, says the graver authority, 'such as Ethics, Politics, and Logic.
But the wretched scribbler fell on his knees before me with clasped hands and offered to shew me the signed letter he had received from Warsaw, which contained the statements he had inserted in his paper.
