I am, sure it would interest Your Majesty much happened yesterday." And I told him of the Vierle Masque. Frederick frowned a bit thought longer then smiled. "I don't much fancy eaves-dropping; but, sometimes, the end justifies the means," he said. "I'll join you." "There will be other witnesses, Sire," I said and named them. "I don't like it," he said. "I can stop them," I suggested.
After some rubbing of the lower part of his face, and some looking at us with those bad eyes, over his grisly fingers, he made one more address to me, half whining, and half abusive. 'You think it justifiable, do you, Copperfield, you who pride yourself so much on your honour and all the rest of it, to sneak about my place, eaves-dropping with my clerk? And you're not afraid of doing this, either?
"What I can, however, have to do with your fate, I know not, except that I will acquit you of all intentional eaves-dropping, if it be that which troubles you; and what can Mr. Myrvin have said to rob you of eloquence?"
It hurt her to think of Raoul herded among seven hundred miserables in this endless barrack, his every movement overlooked, his smallest speech overheard, by an eaves-dropping sentry. "I think, Endymion chimed in, my sister feels her long journey, and would be glad to get our business over." "Ah, to be sure a thousand pardons!"
The noise, however, of the music and the dancing, the low tones in which the suspected parties spoke, and the distance at which they sat, must have made Denis's occupation of eaves-dropping difficult, if not impracticable. Thady had just been speaking, and it was evident from the thickness of his voice that the whiskey he had drunk was beginning to have its effects on him.
But what what did she say?" "Well, she said some queer things. Nobody can quite make out whether Bee is to be married or not on Tuesday. Some say that Captain Bertram is married already, and that his wife is living in seclusion at the Bells'." "At the Bells'? I'll go over at once and poke that mystery out. Maria! Maria! She's sure to to be eaves-dropping somewhere near.
Assuming an indifferent air, she said "Well, Mr Vanslyperken?" "Well!" exclaimed Vanslyperken, but he could not speak for passion. "Eaves-dropping, as usual, Mr Vanslyperken?" "May the roof of this house drop on you, you infernal !" "No indelicate language, if you please, sir," interrupted the widow, "I won't put up with it in my house, I can tell you.
"The whole male attendance!" she muttered, repeating the Queen's last words, "and well for thee had it been had thy train never been larger;" then turning to Roland, in whose way she had stood while making this pause, she made room for him to pass, saying at the same time, "Art thou already eaves-dropping? follow thy mistress, minion, and, if thou wilt, tell her what I have now said."
He had formed, indeed, a perfectly just estimate of his consummate impudence and roguery, but still it was difficult to account for the reason of his having got there. He might have gone there for the sake of eaves-dropping, for the captain was in the cabin at the time, but then it was not likely that he understood English enough to comprehend what was said.
He was the governor's private secretary, and, of course, had no entrance to the council of state, but he was accused of frequently thrusting himself into their hall of sessions, where, under pretence of arranging the Earl's table, or portfolio, or papers, he was much addicted to whispering into his master's ear, listening to conversation, to eaves-dropping; in short, and general intrusiveness.
