Rumor

"Rumor, swiftest of all the evils in the world. She thrives on speed, stronger for every stride, slight with fear at first, soon soaring into the air ------ under every feather on her body- - -an eye that never sleeps and as many tongues as eyes and as many raucous mouths and ears pricked up for news."
