"You cannot refuse,—you will not, I am sure. For your benefit I may say that the case is absolutely hopeless. Not even a miracle can save him. If you will give me your closest attention, I will, with Dr. Bray's support, describe his condition and all that has led up to this unhappy crisis. Sit down, my boy. I am your good friend. I am not your critic, nor your traducer.
He had even resisted accepting Siebenburg's reckless stake, but his obstinate persistence and demand could not be opposed. The calumnies by which the "Mustache" had assailed the innocent Els Ortlieb haunted him, and many others had shown their indignation against the traducer.
Edward embraced this conclusion as a matter of course, and urged the character of that gentleman's solitary traducer: Alfred was a traitor, and therefore why not a slanderer? Even Sampson, on the whole, inclined to a similar conclusion.
Each fear-palsied courtier looked with pale face to right and left as though to seek escape. The fat knight, hitherto all complacency, listening to this brazen traducer of the Queen's virgin honor, seemed to shrink within himself, and his very clothing hung loose upon him.
The eyes of all were turned upon him, Westray, with fierce enmity and contempt, and it was he, Westray, that a stern-faced judge was sentencing, as a traducer and lying informer. Then the people in the galleries stamped with their feet and howled against him in their rage; and waking with a start, he knew that it was the postman's sharp knock on the street-door, that had broken his slumber.

There was an instant of critical silence.

His little body trembled with childish rage; he never took his gaze from the face of the gaunt traducer.
"Why, 'tis not so long ago Master Paul Hungerford told me you were a very Croesus." Master Peter clinched and unclinched his horny hands as if he were coming to grips with his traducer. "Master Hungerford told you that? I would I had my hands knotted about his lying throat.
For telling only the truth of me, you killed him as a traducer. So much faith you had in me, who deserved so little! I could endure it no longer! Never would I look on your face again with that weight of shame on me. God must send other means of saving my father. They demanded too much of me. I would, as far as I could, make myself worthy of your faith, though I never saw you again.
"If it was not for your father and you I wouldn't have urged the matter at all." "You are just doing it to hold your position," retorted the girl, "and now, by threats of blackmail you prevent me from exposing you you are a despicable cur." Jimmy felt the blood mounting to his face. He was mortified and angry, and yet he was helpless because his traducer was a woman.
