"Now remember this; if you tell the least little thing that happens here to Gaucher, or to the Grouage and Bellache people, or even to Marianne who loves us, you will kill your father. Never tattle again, and I will forgive what you said yesterday."
'The writings of Wordsworth, he goes on to say, 'did much towards calming the confusing whirl necessarily incident to sudden mutations. I wept over them tears of happiness and gratitude. He accordingly left the army, with its rough barrack-life and coarse mess-room tittle- tattle, and returned to Linden House, full of this new-born enthusiasm for culture.
I recognize all the wisdom of your proceeding, although you will agree it has something offensive and humiliating for me, but after all, it is preferable that you should come and tell me this to my face, than that you should go and chatter in the village and tattle without my knowledge. Oh, Monsieur le Curé, Veronica is not capable of that.
My first lecture A cold and disagreeable evening A fair audience My success Lecture at Fairview The people turn out en masse At Rushville Dread of appearing before the audience Hesitation I go on the stage and am greeted with applause My fright I throw off my father's old coat and stand forth Begin to speak, and soon warm to my subject I make a lecture tour Four hundred and seventy lectures in Indiana Attitude of the press The aid of the good Opposition and falsehood Unkind criticism Tattle mongers Ten months of sobriety My fall Attempt to commit suicide Inflict an ugly but not dangerous wound on myself Ask the sheriff to lock me in the jail Renewed effort The campaign of '74 "Local option."

That in itself was sufficient to establish their prestige.
Then she tries him, in her turn, and floods him with the dead chat of the town and an ocean of family tattle. He finds himself shut up for weeks with a creature who takes an interest in nothing but Uncle Crosspatch's temper and the scandal about Lady X. Little by little the absolute pettiness, the dense dulness, of woman's life, breaks on the disenchanted devotee.
He had heard of her tattle against Sir Gilbert, and thus rudely showed his resentment. Miss Kimble burst into tears. Ginevra kissed her, and said, "Never mind, dear Miss Kimble. You could not help it. The whole thing was arranged. We are going after my father, and we have the best horses." Mr. Torrie laughed outright. "A new kind of runaway marriage!" he cried.
"Yes, indeed, I am," said Mrs. Theresa. Frederick put his hands before him affectedly; "Oh, indeed, ma'am! indeed, ladies! I really am so hoarse, it distresses me so to be pressed to sing; besides, upon my word, I have quite left off singing. I've never sung once, except for very particular people, this winter." Mar. But Mrs. Theresa Tattle is a very particular person.
Oh, Madam, I remember now who told me; it was my Lady Tattle, when I was at Mrs Whymsy's on a visiting day; it was the talk of the whole circle, and all the ladies took notice of it, and said they would take care to shun that shop. Cit. Sure, Madam, the lady was strangely used; did she tell any of the particulars? Lady.
But seeing Cousin Karl on the upper deck, reminded me of all the harmless gossip and tattle that used to go on among us girls in the old days. Friday afternoon I saw Cousin Willie on the deck this afternoon. I had not seen him all day yesterday as he seems to keep out of sight. His eyes looked bloodshot and I was sure that he had been drinking.
