Gossip
 
  A gossip in a village is like a viper in a bed.
            —Anonymous		  1
  Gossip, like ennui, is born of idleness.
            —Ninon de L’Enclos		  2
  Gossipin’ about like a cracked bell-clapper.
            —George Meredith		  3
  Gossip must often have been likened to the winged insects bearing pollen to the flowers; it fertilizes many a vacuous reverie.
            —George Meredith		  4
