- S’il n’est pas certain que ces vues malicieuses puissent s’appliquer à l’adulte, elles rendent assez bien compte de la glossomanie infantile, de l’intarissable babil des tout petits, d’où découlera la verbosité de l’âge suivant.

- Il était tout simple que Marius, l’adorant, l’admirât. Mais la vérité est que cette petite pensionnaire, fraîche émoulue du couvent, causait avec une pénétration exquise et disait par moments toutes sortes de paroles vraies et délicates. Son babil était de la conversation. Elle ne se trompait sur rien, et voyait juste.
