First Page Mentioned (By Name) : ch. “National Debate” – pg. 100

A duplication of the word ' hush ', dating to the 14th century Middle English ' huisht ' (which identifies a state of stillness or calm), 'hush-hush ' explicitly describes ultra secrecy, not even a whisper or breath of the knowledge to be kept secret. Very little remains hush-hush around the Emmerlings.
