While staying at a B&B this weekend in Atlin BC (the little Switzerland of
the North, as they say), I saw one of those transforming Victorian images
(remember the one of a woman looking in the vanity that also looks like a
skull?). This one was entitled: "Gossip. Satan was there too." It showed two
19th C. ladies holding hands, face to face, in front of a large mirror. On
second glance, they transmogrify in to a rather quaint devil's face. Why was
it that in those days they pretended that only women gossip?

I don't like gossip. It is a corrosive social force. It
debases those who
trade in it, and cheapens those who tolerate it without
objection. I don't
like gossip; name-calling, either.
