the rest of it comes tumbling out?

Penny, you don't give enough context to the lines.

Out of sheer guess, I'll assume that "she" has drunk too much wine. After drinking too much, she has lost any inhibitions and the rest of it comes tumbling out means that's she is presently talking a lot about her life, her insecurities, etc.... If she wasn't drunk she would be keeping this personal information relatively secret.

Thanks. Yes, after that, she talked a lot to her friend.

It seems to me that Somer's loss of control from drinking the wine
caused the wine to fall out, presumably onto the floor or onto the table.

It does not appear that the word "tumbling" is used correctly here
as wine flows out, as a liquid, rather than tumbling, as dice tumble, or as an acrobat tumbles.

More crap from David. Whether from deliberate trollery or ignorance I am not sure. What came tumbling out was the rest of "it", what Somer had previously begun to talk about. English speakers often use say that words come "tumbling out" when somebody suddenly loses inhibitions, overcomes shyness or reticence etc. The words are said to tumble over each other because they come out rapidly in a way comparable with (e.g.) objects falling from an upturned sack.

Kinda ruff there, Contrex.

To borrow your orthographical style, it's a ruff tuff wurld.

To attack is to invite counter-attack.

You consider it an attack when someone points up your ignorance, Om. You're going to be one busy little fella. Are you gonna use your Colt or your magnum?
