SCRIPTURE

"That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers;" — Proverbs 6:13 (ASV)

He winks with his eyes ...—A picture, taken from the life, of a malicious tattler and scandalmonger, who fills out his lying tale with winks and signs, by which even more is suggested than he says, to the ruin of his neighbor’s character.
