Insinuations.

Name: Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare - Insinuations.
Author: Edith Nesbit

The shrug, the hum, or ha; these petty brands,
That calumny doth use;—
For calumny will sear
Virtue itself:—these shrugs, these bums, and ha’s,
When you have said, she’s goodly, come between,
Ere you can say she’s honest.

Winter’s Tale — II. 1.
