“muttered”

After reading “A jury of her peers” by Susana Glaspeal I found a word that fully got my interest and it was when I read “Well, I don’t know as Wright had, either,” she muttered”. the word “muttered” really puts me of when I read some stories and I image it has something to do talking but in what why?, some I finally put my ego aside and went to find out what it really meant. By research I found out that it means ” to utter sounds or words indistinctly or with a low voice and with the lips partly closed” which I it finally click in my head and got a sense of all the stories that I misinterpret in my English life. I feel more smart now.
