The papers called the whole episode romantic, but the papers never knew the entire truth, nor that Anne was the daughter of the Princess Karacsay. Not even Mrs. Parry learned as much as she should have liked to learn. But what scraps of information she did become possessed of, she wove into a thrilling story which fully maintained her reputation as a scandal-monger.
To stop the mouth of a scandal-monger, he drove full speed to Cecil's Club, where he heard that the captain had breakfasted and had just departed for Romfrey Castle. He followed to the station. The train had started. So mischief was rolling in that direction.
I knew Count Tomes passed for somewhat of a scandal-monger, so his remarks made little impression on me beyond whetting my curiosity. The next day I was one of the first to appear in the court, where I found the bench, plaintiff and defendant, and the barristers, already assembled. The farmer's counsel was an old man who looked honest, while the count's had all the impudence of a practised knave.
Here, for instance, is a denunciation of a scandal-monger: "In the Church of Christ and Mother, Carnal feelings have no place; Here the simple love each other, Free from ev'ry thing that's base. Therefore when the flesh is named, When impeachments fly around, Honest souls do feel ashamed Shudder at the very sound. "Ah! thou foul and filthy stranger! What canst thou be after here?
Did it almos' be said to him las' year, after when he play' with Milor' Tappin'ford at the chocolate-house " "You dirty scandal-monger!" the Duke burst out. "I'll " "Monsieur, monsieur!" said the Frenchman. "It is a poor valor to insult a helpless captor. Can he retort upon his own victim? But it is for you to think of what I say.
Besides, the word 'leavings' is not my invention. At all events, they all used it at Gania's, and she used it herself. So why am I a scandal-monger? I see I see you are tremendously amused, at this moment! Probably you are laughing at me and fitting those silly lines to my case "'Maybe sad Love upon his setting smiles, And with vain hopes his farewell hour beguiles. "Ha, ha, ha!"
Colia had asked an explanation of the latter, but had been forced to conclude that he was not told the whole truth. If Hippolyte and Nina Alexandrovna had, as Gania suspected, had some special conversation about the general's actions, it was strange that the malicious youth, whom Gania had called a scandal-monger to his face, had not allowed himself a similar satisfaction with Colia.
"She thought Beauclerc was engaged to Lady Blanche." "How could she think so? What reason had she?" "She had been told so by somebody." "Somebody! that eternal scandal-monger Lady Katrine, I suppose." "No not Lady Katrine," said Cecilia; "but I am not at liberty to tell you whom." "No matter; but Miss Stanley is not a fool; she could not believe somebody or anybody, contrary to common sense."
When Rám Harak found himself alone with his master at the close of this exciting day, he repeated the vile insinuations which Hiramani had made regarding the daughter's character. Debendra Babu was highly indignant and vowed that the scandal-monger should never cross his threshold again. He then implored Rám Harak to trace his son-in-law, authorising him to offer any reparation he might ask.
Ask the scandal-monger how he knows and insist on his telling you insist. And if he won't be very, very rude to him. Insist up to the quarrelling point. Now who were those people?" "Well that's a bit stiff.... One chap I didn't know at all." "You should have pulled him up and insisted upon knowing who he was, and what right he had to lie about me. For it's lying, Riddling.
