The youngest was the greatest and best king England ever had Alfred the Truth-teller.
This was, as every Oriental would understand it, a parliamentary way of calling the four hundred prophets a pack of liars; and the event proved that all of them were liars, and that Micaiah alone, as Jehovah's prophet, was a truth-teller.
In his generation in the United States, there is not a greater man than Eugene V. Debs not because of what he has done, but because of what he is, and when the history of this generation is written, that fact will be recorded. The masters in all ages have put men like Debs in jail because it is the truth-teller that the masters fear most.
"Yes," answered Musa, "it was as you see it now." Tarik answered by taking from under his mantle the foot of emerald which he had removed, and which just matched the others. "You may learn now," he said to the caliph, "which of us is the truth-teller. Here is the lost leg of the table. I found the table and kept this for evidence. It is the same with most of the treasures Musa has shown you.
"What did you do with yourself yesterday afternoon?" "I was up on the mountain," said Ellen. "What mountain?" "I believe they call it the Nose." "What business had you up there?" "I hadn't any business there." "What did you go there for?" "Nothing." "Nothing! you expect me to believe that? you call yourself a truth-teller, I suppose?"
"I wish you wouldn't ask me further; please do not. I shall displease you again." "I will not be displeased." "I was thinking of Mr. Humphreys," said Ellen, in a low tone. "Who is that?" "You know, Sir; you say I must not call him " "What were you thinking of him?" "I was wishing very much I could see him again." "Well, you are a truth-teller," said Mr. Lindsay, "or bolder than I think you."
To the great-hearted public this is becoming intolerable. But they know so little, and they wait so long for what the wise ones fear to tell. Not all these fears are sordid; there is a kind and gracious reluctance to shatter ideals. It is hard at times to combine beauty and duty. The way of the truth-teller is not made easier by charges of iconoclasm.
I have always maintained, my dear Currier, that if a man wishes to be considered sane, and has any particular regard for his reputation as a truth-teller, he would better keep silent as to the singular experiences that enter into his life.
"Saadat el basha, thou art known as the truth-teller and the incorruptible this is the word of the Egyptian and of the infidel concerning thee. I kiss thy feet. For it is true he hath deserved death, but woe be to him by whom his death cometh! And am I not his servant to be with him while he hath life, and hath need of me? If thou sayest he is alive, then is he alive, and my heart rejoices."
Ah! my friend Kenelm, enemy of shams, and truth-teller, par excellence, what hast thou come to? How are the mighty fallen! "Since you say you will dine with us, suppose we fix the day after to-morrow, and I will ask Mrs. Cameron and Lily." "The day after to-morrow: I shall be delighted." "An early hour?" "The earlier the better." "Is six o'clock too early?"
