"How dare you say there is any understanding between us, Fowle? Such
impertinence I never heard! What do I know about you and your affairs,
excepting that you are deservedly a very unpopular boy! And I'll thank
you not to bring any more of your mean tales to me. A tale-bearer is an
odious thing; so remember; no more sneaking, or it will be very much the
worse for you!"
