At a dinner-party that night a woman whom she hated, and wrote down an evil-minded scandal-monger and inventor and disseminator of lies, suddenly said to her, "Who is this Mrs. Harris, my dear?" "How should I know?" replied Mrs. Dearman. "Oh, I thought your young friend Mr. Grobble might have told you he seems to know her very well," answered the woman sweetly. That night Mr.
You can no more stop a scandal than a locust-cloud or a fog. The best way to increase it is to notice it. What a horrid thing is a scandal-monger exhaling poison.

Everard was led to say that Nevil's cousins were bedevilled with womanfolk. From which Rosamund perceived that women had been at work; and if so, it was upon the business of the scandal-monger; and if so, Nevil fought his cousin to protect her good name from a babbler of the family gossip.
"Because I think you are a woman who appreciates the truth." "I am," she said. "But I do not often hear it as I have heard it to-night" He put out his hand to her impulsively. "Say, Lady Carfax, let me go and kick that old scandal-monger into the middle of next week!" Involuntarily almost she gave her hand in return. "No, you mustn't," she said, laughing faintly.

Is it true that he is so much in debt, and is so very very profligate? They say she is heartbroken." "Really, Lady Doltimore," said Maltravers, smiling, "I am but a bad scandal-monger.

That Scarlet Cross, for instance." He fixed an inquiring eye on Anne. "That is the one thing that makes me think Daisy did not write the letter.
We read of the first meeting; of the Duke’s love at first sight; of Castle daily life; of a three days’ tournament given in honour of the lady; of devices for secret meetings and the interchange of letters; of the inevitable scandal-monger; of a letter from a former gouvernante whose aid as go-between had been sought containing a most comprehensive and remarkable treatise on feminine morality, the dangers of illicit love, and the satisfaction of simple wifely duty; of the separation which the position of the lady, and the gallantry of her lover, alike demanded; of meetings at intervals; of the mutual solace of short love-poems; and then the story, perhaps to evade identification, ends vaguely.
