You hate tale-bearers, you said so Hugh." The doctor's long-suffering patience snapped. "What Mrs. Anderson does is no concern of yours," he said testily. "If you do not go to her house immediately and apologize, Sarah, I'll march you over there and wait while you do it. I've listened to all the argument I intend to." "I'll go," surrendered Sarah sullenly.
"If Captain Putnam hears of this, Baxter will be sent away, or at least punished." "Perhaps, Sam; but I shan't tell him." "No; we're no tale-bearers. Let us go up to the side windows of the tavern and see if we can see them." This was agreed to, and the two boys hurried up to first one window and then another. They are not in the saloon part, that's certain," said Tom blankly.
He had gone through a painful experience, he said, and as it would pretty surely come to my ears, he preferred I should hear it from himself, before enemies or tale-bearers should present it with such coloring as they might choose. During the Confederate occupation he had maintained his secluded life and kept aloof from contact with the military authorities.
He ignores all the rules of rhetoric, please your Grace." The Duchess had a natural distaste for pedants and tale-bearers. She did what we all would have done in her place; at first she did not listen to them but as they again began to repeat their tittle-tattle, she ended by believing them and decided to send Francoeur away.
"Are you going to say anything about Dodge while you are home?" inquired his mother, glancing up quickly. "Not a word, if I can avoid it," replied Dick. "I hate tale-bearers." At this moment the postman came in, blowing his whistle and rapidly sorting out a pile of letters, which he dropped on the counter. "There are probably a lot here for me, mother," smiled Dick.
Also he got hold of tale-bearers, and wrote down all their scandalous and lying stories told against those whose bread they ate. Thus, long before they saw Charing Cross, Cicely came to hate this proud, avaricious and overbearing man, who hid a savage nature under a cloak of virtue, and whilst serving his own ends, mouthed great words about God and the King.
It should have warned me, but, as he paused, I repeated my question. "Monsieur, people say everything," he answered, frowning as if deploring what they said in some secret, particular instance. "The world is full of idle gossipers, tale-bearers, spreaders of scandal! And, though I speak with perfect respect, all the people at the chateau are not perfect in such ways." "Do you mean the domestics?"
With the entrance of false principles and the employment of pernicious and demoralising influences the moral of the Party began to be at first vitiated and then utterly destroyed. It lost its independent character and cohesive force. To a certain extent it became a party of petty tale-bearers.
He pointed to the earthen bowl of water at his side. "I filled that at the Nile this morning." "I must go," said Feversham, and he lifted himself up from the ground. "I must go this morning," and since he spoke with a raised voice and a manner of excitement, Trench whispered to him: "Hush. There are many prisoners here, and among them many tale-bearers."
Informers, tale-bearers, perverse and obstinate men, flatterers, who turn their back upon their flock and court the Protestant gentlemen of the country, will be the objects of preferment. And then I run no risk in foretelling that whatever order, quiet, and morality you have in the country will be lost.
