Keen observers, the jays of society who hover about the eagle's nest, had not failed to observe a look of annoyance on Giovanni's face when he did not succeed in being alone by Corona's side for at least a few minutes; and Del Ferice, who was a sort of news-carrier in Rome, had now and then hinted that Giovanni was in love.
If I might appoint to the spirits of the departed their offices, I could wish nothing merrier than that that same Cato should be made the news-carrier from the kingdom of Zenobia to the council of the gods. How he would enjoy his occupation!
Nothing more serious can happen than the failure of the butcher's and the grocer's carts, unless, indeed, the little news-carrier should fail to board us with the world's daily bulletin, or our next-door neighbor should be deterred from coming to sit by the blazing, excited fire, and interchange the trifling, harmless gossip of the day.
If you have sympathetic ears for trouble, you can hear plenty of it. When you hear such things, it is very easy to pass them on to some one else. Never let yourself he a news-carrier for trouble. You will have trouble of your own if you do.

I had become a news-carrier, and Miss Sampson never thought of questioning me in regard to my fund of information. She showed more than curiosity. The account I gave of the jail affair amused her and made Sally laugh heartily. Diane questioned me also about a rumor that had come to her concerning George Wright.
Abbott actually shook her fist, in her impatience to be enlightened, nothing could induce the child to speak, until he had recovered his wind. "I believe he does it on purpose," said the provoked maid. "It's just like him!" cried the mistress; "the very best news-carrier in the village is actually spoilt because he is thick-winded."
He had seen only Miss Anna, and her only for so brief an instant " No, Madame Valcour had merely cleared her throat. "That climate is hard on those throat'." He had seen Miss Anna, he resumed, "for so brief an instant on an errand that he had not made civil inquiry after the others, but had left good-by for them about as a news-carrier wads and throws in the morning paper!"
