It was an ideal moment for confidences, for heart-to-heart talks, and they spoke of many things which were sacred to one another, little intimate echoes of the days when they first learned to work and play together. "Don't you remember, Veronica," said Migwan, "when you became a Winnebago you took the gull for your symbol, because it flew over the ocean and you wanted to follow it home?"
His sense of religion was profound but simple, as simple as daily bread. He held that it should be allowed to become part of a child as unforcedly as air or food, and he had an especial horror of what are known as heart-to-heart talks. Above all he abominated revivals, he knew too much of the greater apathy that welled in their hysterical wake.
But if you want to have a heart-to-heart talk, honor bright, ma'am; then here's the sort of thing it is, ma'am: at my house there's a certain Russian merchant I know, who is very much in love with Olimpiáda Samsónovna, ma'am. "No matter what I have to give," says he, "so long as I get married," says he; "I shan't grudge any sum."
Everything depends, of course, on how much she cares. That's still an unknown quantity. But she dislikes me already; which is a promising sign! Now I am going to fill your pipe, and pour you out a peg; and we'll enjoy ourselves till it's time for second supper!" It is just such quiet hours of heart-to-heart intimacy that constitute true marriage.
Gribble took to her bed for two days, and the doctor had a heart-to-heart talk with him on the doorstep.

It was clear that she was fretting.
Miss Smith rattled back across the courtyard and the Nurse stood watching her; then turned slowly and went into the house to tell Billy Grant. Now the stories about what followed differ.

Here the divergence begins.
They gave chase, but couldn't find hide nor hair of him." Merrihew looked significantly at Hillard, who signed to him to be silent. "I am glad that we can sail Saturday," said Kitty. She was very tired. "So am I," echoed Smith. "All I want is a heart-to-heart talk with old Broadway. Never again for mine!" "Go on!" said O'Mally. "You'll be talking about this for the next ten years."
Tims Halvor did not go near the schoolhouse again for a week or more; it was as if he were afraid of again meeting Karin there. But one morning when it rained in torrents, and there was no likelihood of any customers coming, he decided to run over and have a chat with Mother Stina. He was hungry for a heart-to-heart talk with some kindly and sympathetic person.
At any rate we treat them in a far more human heart-to-heart fashion than is the English custom, and they respond to it at once. I remember when King George he was, as I say, Duke of York then came up to Orillia, Ontario, how we all met him in a delegation on the platform.
The following evening the Bald-faced Kid called upon his aged friend and interrupted a heart-to-heart session in Old Man Curry's tackle-room. "Hello, old-timer! Hello, Jimmy! Am I butting in here?"
