A-Z Challenge Day 17

I only found one interesting Q word!
Quidnunc n. busybody, gossip

Hey, Peggy, Janet, come over here. I’m no quidnunc as you well know, but I have to tell you both this. Jack from number 12 said he saw that brazen hussy from number 32 scurrying through 23’s front door just after his wife went off shopping! Well, I had feeling something was going on, and Anne at 41 said the same. But I ask you, trotting up the road before number 23’s wife was barely out of sight really isn’t on, is it?

That’s not all. While I was hanging out the washing yesterday I couldn’t help noticing the shed in 19’s back garden was shaking and wobbling. It was obvious what was going on. I’m not one to be nosey, but I happened to have my binoculars with me so I thought I’d have a peep through the window. It was pretty steamed up, well it would be, but guess whose sweaty face I saw? No, not a garden gnome dear, it was her! You know, her. That tarty girl from 32 again. Yes, the same trollop that Jack from 12 saw going into 23 the other afternoon.

I’m going to have to tell the newly-wed in 16 to keep an eye on her hubby, what with that jezebel on the loose. And Peggy dear, you should warn 47 about her too. I'm told her husband's got a bit of a roving eye.

Actually Janet, you might like to watch your husband too. I wasn’t going to say anything, but your Richard goosed me in church the other day while we queuing for communion. Goosed dear, goosed. You know, pinched my bottom. Janet dear.... Janet....where are you going dear? Janet. Oh well.

Look Peggy, here comes Maggie from 25. Hello Maggie dear, did you hear what was going on in the house next to yours the other day? I'm no quidnunc as you know, but well, you won’t believe what Jack from number 12 told me....
