He means highest praise. She accepts his words as a kind rebuke. "Well, I never met such a blab! I believe you'd peach on your grandmother," says her brother, with supreme contempt. "I didn't do 'em a bit of harm, Rodney I give you my word." The stories here told come down to us from very ancient times.
