“Since mine own doors refuse to entertain me, I'll knock elsewhere, to see if they'll disdain me”

“For your popular rumour, unlike the rolling stone of the proverb, is one which gathers a deal of moss in its wanderings up and down.”

“RUMOUR: "Upon my tongues continual slanders ride, The which in every language I pronounce, Stuffing the ears of men with false reports.”

“It was darkly rumoured that the butler, regarding him with favour such as that stern man had never shown before to mortal boy, had sometimes mingled porter with his table beer to make him strong.”

“Of all bad listeners, the worst and most terrible to encounter is the man who is so fond of listening that he wishes to hear, not only your conversation, but that of every other person in the room.”

“Two women seldom grow intimate but at the expense of a third person.”

“Gossip is one thing, hurtful gossip is completely another, and even in high school we weren't THAT mean.”
