Ye are the children of Death; yea, all of you who are now drawing the breath of life in this house, for to have heard the secret that this slave-girl has blabbed out is sufficient to kill anyone thrice over.

This very morning when you were holding forth about that confounded major, did I not say then what would be the consequence? That knave, Worm, has blabbed. MRS. MILLER. Gracious heavens! But how do you know? MILLER. How do I know? Look yonder! a messenger of the minister is already at the door inquiring for the fiddler. Oh! God! I am in agony! MILLER.

As a boy you always had plenty of cheek! Between ourselves! You seem to know a good deal. I hope to goodness you haven't blabbed to Carrissima!" "About your engagement, do you mean?"
