    C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    Abscond. To “move” in a mysterious way, commonly with the property of another.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    be well used, for they are the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time. After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.
