'And the boy, shivering, slipped from the tree, with that cry in his ear, and hastily sought for his goats.
"Nothing, I trow and trust, that arraigns the poor lady's honour, though much that may scoff at her simple faith in a nature so vain and fickle. 'The tongue's not steel, yet it cuts, as the proverb saith of the slanderer." "No! scandal spares her virtue as woman, to run down her cunning as witch!
