"She deserves to have it known, but though she called me tattle-tale, I'm no such thing," replied Janice, who in truth was still hot with indignation at Miss Drinker, and wellnigh bursting to confide her grievance against her whilom friend to this most delightful of men. "Doubtless, you observed that we are not on terms. That was why I came off without her."
I understand you know that little can go on about the school that does not reach my ears in one way or another that this same person has called you a 'tattle-tale' and tried to make your friends among the girls believe that you played traitor to them on a certain occasion. I have told Miss Cox exactly what I think of her action in this case," and she tapped the letter before her.
"Oh, but I couldn't be a tattle-tale," declared Edna. "She'd better not say anything about you to me," returned Dorothy. "She knows better than that. I'd tell her a thing or two." "If Uncle Justus knew, he would believe me and not Clara," said Edna. "I don't cheat in my lessons, and he knows I don't, whatever Clara may say, and I'm not the one who sets the girls up to mischief, you know I'm not."
It was four to one, for cabby's wrath was now centered upon "that hully show of a bloomin' auntie." Amidst violent protests upon Helen's part, Nelly entered the cab. She would "not go back!" And she would "go with dear Paul!" Her heart was breaking. Nelly Bolivar was "a good-for-nothing, common tattle-tale and the whole school probably knew all about her elopement already," etc., etc.
Oh, please, come now; won't you?" My brother seemed to hesitate. "You know I hated to disobey," added Paula, with tears in her eyes, "and at the same time, I don't like to be a 'tattle-tale. Won't you please come home now with me?" Louis was a good-hearted lad in spite of his shortcomings. Therefore, seeing his young cousin beginning to cry, he said, "All right, let's go.
"Tattle-tale, tattle-tale!" retorted Tabitha, scornfully. With even greater scorn her friend turned her back, and leaving the house, walked toward the stable. This took her through the old-fashioned, hedge-begirt kitchen garden, in which flowers were grown as if they were vegetables, and vegetables were grown as if they were flowers.
"Oh, father!" exclaimed Bert, with a look of profound surprise. "You wouldn't have me turn tattle-tale, would you?" "No, Bert, dear; indeed, I would not, although you should lose a dozen prizes. I said that simply to see what you would think of it, and I am glad you answered me as I expected you would. But, Bert, you have asked my advice in this matter.
His record was against him and he got a heavy sentence, with death as a penalty, if he ever sets foot in England again." "What," asked Mr. Gillett's youngest listener, "is 'peached'?" "In school-girl parlance, it is, I believe, to 'tell on' some one." "You mean a tattle-tale?" scornfully. "I hate them." "They have their uses," he answered softly. "And I'm rather partial to them, myself.
"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.
But Eliza was so afraid of her uncle the canon's fruit that I dared her to take some; and we did. Napoleon never touched it. He knew nothing of it."
