tell-tale

the tell-tale signs of a cold were already present.

a tell-tale flicker in his eyes betrayed his nervousness.

the tell-tale aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air.

she noticed the tell-tale stain on his shirt.

the tell-tale sound of rain on the roof lulled me to sleep.

it was a tell-tale clue that led us to the treasure.

the tell-tale rust on the car indicated neglect.

he gave a tell-tale cough before answering the question.

the tell-tale wrinkles around her eyes showed her age.

a tell-tale error message appeared on the screen.

the tell-tale footprints in the snow revealed their path.
