"Think of the letters the poor chap has to write to trades-people to order things, and unorder them, and blackguard the shopkeepers when they are not satisfactory. Invest in one for Heath, father." "It is by no means a bad idea," Lord Dunholm reflected. "Time would be saved by the use of it, I have no doubt."

"That old beggar was clipper built, fer sure, for wid her skirts clewed up she ware bearin' down fast on th' old mate an' kept his bow-legs a-lurchin' afore th' crowd a-comin' along in th' wake a-yellin' an' hootin' like mad.
Mr. Thurwell drew a few steps backward, and his keen gray eyes swept the open country round. "There was no one in sight when we got here; but the blackguard can't be far away!" he said. "Heggs, and you, Smith, and you, Cook, go through the spinney as fast as you can, one in the middle and one on each side, mind! I will go up Falcon's Hill and look round.

"Because he's the biggest old blackguard in Idaho and more treacherous than any Indian ever could be if he tried. I just thought I'd tell you, in case you didn't know it.

"But, sir, we must look to the welfare of our country. What are the lives of a few sailors common fellows compared to the rich commerce we enjoy with England? The wealthy men of New England would surely be ruined by war." "Ye blackguard! do ye set up the riches of New England against the life of men because they are poor?" "Certainly," answered Mr.
I knew he was a Papist and a rebel and every kind of a blackguard, but I'd never have thought he was a coward." While he spoke, a small boy came running down the hill.

He isn't always cruel." "Good God!" shouted Anthony. "How did I ever happen to have such a craven creature for a daughter?" "Anyhow," said Elinor, "it will be his child, father."
Somebody went so far, however, as to ask whether he had ever seen any manifestation of ill-will between Stuyvesant and Recruit Foster, whereat Connelly looked astonished, seemed to forget his fever, and to show something akin to indignation. "No, indeed!" said he. There was nothing but good-will of the heartiest kind everywhere throughout the detachment except for that one blackguard, Murray.
