The King's party did not believe that Henderson here told truth; he had accepted the rôle, they said, but turned coward. This is the more likely as, in December 1600, a gentleman named Robert Oliphant, a retainer of Gowrie, fled from Edinburgh, where certain revelations blabbed by him had come into publicity.
"You know I've been on the jump," he returned, adding dryly, "You don't look as wretched as your note led me to expect." "You can't know." "Not till I'm told." "The scene there's been, I mean." "Scene? What scene?" "With Joe about you New York everything." "There wasn't need for a word. Nobody's blabbed. I saw to that. I went to Sprague in New York." "I told Joe," she confessed.
I told 'em 'No! and they swore at me something awful, and said that if ever I blabbed I'd never see my little wee girl at Newburyport again. So I never said nothing." He looked at me with a frightened expression. "It's funny they never said nothing to you. Don't you tell 'em I talked. If they thought I'd split, they'd knock me in the head, that's what they' d do."
Whatsoever things I see or hear concerning the life of men, in my attendance on the sick or even apart from my attendance, which ought not to be blabbed abroad, I will keep silence on them, counting such things to be as religious secrets.
"All the world knows, lad, that George, Earl of March and Dunbar, was mightily offended at Rothesay breaking off the match with his daughter, and marrying the child of his rival Douglas; but now I am going to tell you what the world does not know, and which is a secret that would cost many a life, were it to be blabbed abroad, and which I should not tell you, had I not a perfect confidence in your discretion.
"What do you mean?" demanded Brown, not over cordially. "You would persist in discussing our plan last night in my room, though I warned you we might be overheard." "Well?" "We were overheard." "What spy listened to our talk?" "The young man, Melville the one traveling with a boy. He kept it to himself till the stage was well on its way, and then he blabbed the whole thing to all in the stage."
'That fool of a wife of mine has blabbed to Selpdorf's daughter, and she in her turn blabs before all the world. Elmur sat still and dumb. His face enraged Sagan once more. 'But I am master in Sagan. The girl must be got rid of! There are a hundred dangers in our mountains and marshes. Do you not understand? Baron von Elmur stood up.
The only fear was that if Edwards blabbed and he was so weak that he could not be absolutely trusted fellows would think it horribly mean to let Buller be punished unjustly, for what he himself had done. And on this account, and this account only, he hoped that Buller would get off.
I did not like telling him, I had a feeling that in some way it was against the rules to tell him, but I did. He was walking part of the way home with me; he was talkative, and if we had not talked about the enchanted garden we should have talked of something else, and it was intolerable to me to think about any other subject. So I blabbed. "Well, he told my secret.
So I told Kadrab to say nothing of this, but the idle-pated fellow blabbed it over the city, and it came to the ears of Goorelka. Then she sent for me to visit her, and by the advice of Ravaloke I went, and she fondled me, and sought to get at the depth of my knowledge by a spell that tieth every faculty save the tongue, and it is the spell of vain longing.
