Book Description

Excerpt from Silcote of Silcotes, Vol. 2 of 3 There lived in the village near Silcotes two people called Mr. and Mrs. Jones, in no way remarkable, except that they knew every one about that part of the country; and every one considered them to be so amiable, so inoffensive, and so insignificant, that they found themselves, some three times a week, the repositories of the most important secrets; sometimes, I regret to say, of actionable libels. And they didn't know why, and no one could tell them. The great fact remains, however, - an undisturbed, good, and undeniable fact. Everybody told them everything.
