  1. An indiscreet person who spreads gossip or blame.
    “"To speak the truth when my lady commands me," answered the prudential major-domo, "is in some measure my duty, Mistress Lilias; always providing for and excepting those cases in which it cannot be spoken without breeding mischief and inconvenience to myself or my fellow-servants; for the tongue of a tale-bearer breaketh bones as well as Jeddart-staff."”
    “There is always some thoughtless talebearer ready to gather up the arrows of gossip and thrust them into the quivering heart of the victim.”
