She washed her telltale eyes and ventured downstairs to look after supper. The Mexican cook was already peeling the potatoes.

And when they're gone " she bowed her head to hide the unbidden tears that were glistening in her eyes. "Yes, it will be terrible," said Betty, trying hard to keep the telltale tremulousness from her voice trying desperately to sound brave and resigned. "But we must remember that thousands of women and girls all over the United States are going through the same thing.
The telltale hair, vividly red, sprouted likewise on this lad's head, and Joe knew him at once for what he was, another member of the Simpson clan.

For a day or two Gadabout lay out in the James in front of Westover.
"I'll be sick if Gran' catches me," admitted the boy. "She's layin' for me at my window." "I know," said Ruth, as the boy crept closer. "You telltale girls told her, of course," growled the boy.
