"'Tis just as mad a thought wan way as t'other, and if you'm surprised so be I. To be a tale-bearer at your time o' life!" "That gormed Blanchard's bewitched 'e from fust to last!" burst out Billy. "If a angel from heaven comed down-long and tawld 'e the truth 'bout un, you wouldn't b'lieve. God stiffen it! You make me mad!
'The Errand at the Furnace', wherein a spiteful tale-bearer meets the horrible fate he has prepared for the innocent and devout Fridolin, may be styled a ballad of pious edification. Here, as a critic observes, Schiller purposely essays a tone of childlike naivete which was foreign to his nature. 'The Battle with the Dragon' has for its theme the moral majesty of self-conquest.
Prescott, why you have refused to answer the question that I put to you," insisted Colonel Strong. "My reason, sir, for respectfully declining to answer is twofold: First, I do not know whether I am legally required to state a suspicion only. My second reason, sir, is that to state the name of the man I suspect would make me, in my own eyes, and in the eyes of my comrades, a tale-bearer."
Under her care the abscess broke and the chief recovered, and all the prisoners were released with the exception of one woman, who was put to death. Aware of the uncanny way in which his guest heard of things the chief sent his son to forestall any tale-bearer. "No one has been injured," she was assured. "Only one worthless slave woman has been sold to the Inokon."
Richling recalled the physician's saying concerning this very same little tale-bearer, that he carried his nonsense on top and his good sense underneath. "Dr. Sevier said that, did he?" asked Richling, after a time. "'Tis the vehbatim, seh. Convussing to yo' 'eve'end fwend. You can ask him; he will co'obo'ate me in fact. Well, Mistoo Itchlin, it supp'ise me you not tickle at that.
The deacon's wife grew sick, and the vile, vinegar-tongued, vixenish virago said that the deacon was an old brute. The tattling, tiresome-tongued, town tale-bearer talked about a good many things that she might say, if she wanted to, and she did say that the deacon and his wife did not get on like angels. But the wee, wiry, weird Widow Wiggins watched wearily by the bedside of the sick Mrs.
It is certain that there does not exist a more false and wicked couple in the whole world than they are. I can readily believe that the Comte de Toulouse is the King's son; but I have always thought that the Duc du Maine is the son of Terme, who was a false knave, and the greatest tale-bearer in the Court.
"I'm thinking jay is the English for some sort of a pyet a tale-bearer, as a body may say a blab." "A blab! by heavens, Major M'Toddy, I don't know what to say if I thought the fellow really meant to insinuate any thing of that kind, I would horsewhip him though I met him in a church." "Oho! so your conscience is pricked at last? mens sibi non conscia, as a body may say," answered the major.
A tale-bearer came to the President with a plot against him and the government, which was a cock-and-bull without any adherence, and all superficial. Lincoln heard him out, but then sharply returned: "There is one thing that I have learned, and that you have not. It is only one word: 'Thorough!" Then bringing his huge hand down on the table-desk, to emphasize his meaning, he repeated: "Thorough!"
"I think papa and Lady FitzAlmont and everybody should now be told." So Ringwood, undertaking the office of tale-bearer, goes down-stairs, and, bringing together all the people still remaining in the house, astounds them by his revelation of the discovery and release of Sir Adrian.
