It's not nice to be stormed at and practically called a scandalmonger, especially when I know that what I was saying is true."
"One hears that Immelan is devoted." "Scandalmonger!" the Prince declared severely. "Young man from the New World," he proceeded, "get on with your lunch and drink your iced water. Let the vision of those two remind you that it was your people who foisted the League of Nations upon us, and be humble, even sorrowful, when you view one of the sad results."
"Are you going up or down?" she demanded. "I'm going the other way. Take one road or the other, you you scandalmonger." Never a patient man, he too gave rein to his anger. "Since you want to know, I'm going down to Battle Butte, where I'll likely meet yore friend Beaudry and settle an account or two with him. I reckon before I git through with him he'll yell something besides Cornell."
"Oh, that animal! And what right has he got to look like that?" The buzz of the scandalmonger grew more confidential: "They say he's never forgiven her for leaving him though the Lord knows she had every reason, if half they tell is true. They say he's mad about her still, gives her no rest, follows her everywhere, is all the time begging her to return to him " "But who the deuce is the beast?"
When I gave him the names of two men who had come to me astonished and incredulous, he attempted absurdly to make me think they had told HIM. He did his horrible little best to suggest that honest old Quackett, who had just left England for the Cape, was the real scandalmonger. That struck me as mean, even for Bailey.
"Why don't you go to headquarters and call a halt?" Henley's indignation was rising. "You mean to Carrie? Well, I did, but somehow she manages to git around the question. She jest looks kind o' 'shamed and keeps wanting to talk about other things. I ought to be sorry for her, desperate as she is for attention, but I hain't. She's a tattle-tale and scandalmonger.
And where was that support? Oh, a broken reed! Poor Oline; they might have left her something single golden gleam in her life! Oline was not over-blessed with this world's goods. Practised in evil ay, well used to edging her way by tricks and little meannesses from day to day; strong only as a scandalmonger, as one whose tongue was to be feared; ay, so.
The burglar and the highwayman go frankly abroad to gather in the substance of others, and they stand ready to forfeit both life and liberty while in pursuit of nefarious gain. Yet it is a noble profession compared with that of the scandalmonger, and the murderer himself is hardly a more objectionable member of society than the character assassin.
"Is that true about my mother?" he demands, blazing. "I'm not in the habit of lyin', Lord Beauvayse!" states Captain Bingo huffily. "Don't fly off like a lunatic, Bingo, old man. How did you find that out?" "Your cousin Townham told me." "Damn my cousin Townham for a dried-up, wiggy, pratin' little scandalmonger!" Captain Bingo retorts irately: "Damn him if you please; he's no friend of mine.
He is in the pay of a local speculator here, and so is bound to praise everything and be ecstatic over every one, though for his part he is soaked through and through with the nastiest venom, to which he does not dare to give vent. I am afraid he's an awful scandalmonger; he'll run at once to tell every one I'm in the theatre. Well, what does it matter?
