gossipry

Once upon a time there lived a husband and wife, and they were both bound in gossipry with a certain man.

Nevertheless, the porter's lodge of every Parisian house is a chartered temple of echo, having a gossipry and a jargon of its own.

The priest bestowed little attention on the small gossipry that filled up the page.

This shows, therefore, that gossipry must be judged by its effects.
