"To speak the truth when my lady commands me," answered the prudential major-domo, "is in some measure my duty, Mistress Lilias; always providing for and excepting those cases in which it cannot be spoken without breeding mischief and inconvenience to myself or my fellow-servants; for the tongue of a tale-bearer breaketh bones as well as Jeddart-staff."

3. 1902, w:Annie Fellows Johnston|Annie Fellows Johnston, Flips ‘Islands of Providence’'', ch. 5:
