He could carry her away, leaving the scandal-mongers to work their way with her and him: he could carry her to that far-off land which he knew already, where work was hard and money plentiful, and no one would have the right to look down on her for what she had done.
When in the second year of marriage that dangerous German Prince Von Leibenfels attached himself so perseveringly to Lady Castleton, and the scandal-mongers pricked up their ears, in hopes of a victim, I watched Castleton with as much interest as if I had been looking over Deschappelles playing at chess.
And to avenge their disappointment at not being admitted to its precious precincts, they are sure to be found in the front rank of scandal-mongers when anything in their line is up with a member. And it is seldom something is not up, for the society would seem to live and get lusty in an atmosphere of perpetual scandal.
No, I blame those wicked and vindictive scandal-mongers, whose age is their only protection, and those intriguing men who beset my daughters' ears." "Sire," protested the trembling bishop, "I entreat you to believe I am innocent of the whole affair."
If it wasn't for your friendship, I should be tempted " "But you have my friendship!" he assured her.

Then Angela, seated on his knee, takes one of his hands in hers, passes her beautiful arm about his neck, draws his head to her, and looked at him with eager delight. Alas! were the scandal-mongers right in suspecting Blue Beard's morality?
She sought him, not that he could soften her anxiety, but that being an humble person, she could pursue her object through him, unobserved to society in a word, that he would be a protection against the apprehensions of scandal-mongers. Such are the shifts to which the ambitious guilty have recourse.
This is, nevertheless, the woman whom evil reports, disseminated by miserable scandal-mongers, have so outrageously slandered!

According to these honest fabricators, the First Consul must have seduced his wife's daughter, before giving her in marriage to his own brother.
