Oh, how I fear her when she looks at me sometimes with her bold, black eyes: I can't help it." Another voice, not a woman's, yet almost as gentle, now seemed to ask a question; but the cat-bird, behaving like a detective and a tale-bearer, made such a furious screaming at seeing a stranger drinking the milk, that Phoebus could not hear it well.
Schoolmaster, no wonder if thy son gets put on the fire, if thou employ him as a tale-bearer. But that is the way of all pedagogues and their sons, by which they train the lads up eavesdroppers and favor-curriers, and prepare them sirrah, do you hear? for a much more lasting and hotter fire than that which has scorched thy son Jack's nether-tackle. Do you mark me, sir?"
'It seems to me he will hardly savour it. 'It would be an ill turn to do me, but my lord marquis did never heed a tale-bearer. 'Then will he not heed the tale thou wouldst yield him concerning me. 'What tale should I yield him but that I find thee here and the prisoner gone? 'The tale I read in thy face and thy voice. Thou lookest and talkest as if I were a false woman.
'Joe is not a tale-bearer, but there are times when he must speak, when he will speak! confound your arts, Ma'am, cried the Major, again apostrophising his fair neighbour, with great ire, 'when the provocation is too strong to admit of his remaining silent. The emotion of this outbreak threw the Major into a paroxysm of horse's coughs, which held him for a long time.
A chance word from the distinguished prelate had sufficed to make it their duty to watch Barbara and her visitors. In Alphonsine's mistress, the Marquise de Leria, the almoner also possessed a willing tale-bearer. She had avoided him since his refusal to commend her ruined son to the favour of his imperial penitent.
"And I do hope the fire-engines arrived in time." "A tale-bearer revealeth secrets; but a man of understanding holdeth his peace." It was the night of the full moon. It was also the night of the cotillon given by a certain princelet of unpronounceable name and great wealth, who hailed from one of those countries in Europe where quasi-royalties abound.
One stumbles unawares on fantasies, as well as realities, and thus one gets, not altogether undeservedly, the character of a tale-bearer and mischief-maker among his comrades, and methinks I would not willingly fall under that accusation." "Speak frankly to me," answered De Walton, "and have no fear of being misconstrued, whosoever the conversation may concern."
Now, sir, when I used to live with my father and mother, near Langholm, I many times observed Archie come down there, and though I should be sorry to be a tale-bearer, yet I cannot help explaining to you my reasons for acting as I did.
At that moment Matty lifted up her head, but as Maude was no tale-bearer, and the doctor hardly dared to tell her that he had thus early taken upon himself the government of her child, she never knew exactly what it was which made Maude's ear so red or her liege lord's face so dark. It was nearly noon when they arrived at Canandaigua, where the first object which caught Mrs.
I must therefore conclude this letter was forged. Jaschinsky was at this time one of the King's favourites; his spy over the army; a tale-bearer; an inventor of wicked lies and calumnies. Some years after the event of which I am now speaking, the King was obliged to break and banish him the country.
