Have you heard it? The old lady salvian says, there where ghosts in her mansion! I would guess more its on this strange foreign woman, her son married. Her Child is such a brat!

Speaking of which, has anyone seen his wife recently? She said she needed to talk to me but I didn't have the time. For that matter I haven't seen his kids for a while.

Wait, if the Baron is plotting against the adviser, then the adviser clearly isn't his favourite.
Unless he's plotting to do something nice, that is.

You know them youngish folk that moved in over at old Jackhums place? They say they are husband and wife but if you ask me there's a certain "familiarity" about them if you get my meaning. Mum's the word, mind. spreading rumors won't do anyone any good.

When you use the "!" symbol to mean "not", you don't have to wrote 'not' again before it--that's concentrated redundancy.

Yeah, but it's the traditional format for that sort of thing.

I'm about to run a West Marches style campaign, and I plan on giving every character a different rumor that they heard on the way up to the frontier. It's hard to come up with those on the fly for a given character, so I'm trying to write some basic ones for each class & maybe some for the races.
