If I was a parson, I tell you, I'd go right to Seventh and Centre next Saturday and give a talk to them blaggards on that. But He spake of ..." Klinker stopped as though he had been shot. A sudden agonized scream from downstairs jerked him off the bed and to his feet in a second solemn as at the last trump. He stared at Queed wide-eyed, his honest red face suddenly white.
Dayton liked to call his antagonists "blaggards and scoundrels" it justified his opposition the Lords were "scoundrels," all people richer than he were "scoundrels," all Socialists, all troublesome poor people; he liked to think of jails and justice being done.
It was on a closely allied theme that he had first won his editorial spurs the theme of Klinker's "blaggards," who made reformatories necessary. That was one thing: a kind of professional sentiment which the sternest scientist need not be ashamed to acknowledge.
But I will say that the general problem is one of the most difficult with which social science has to deal." "I know what had ought to be done. The blaggards ought to be shot. Damn every last one of them, I say." Klinker conversed in his anger something like the ladies of Billingsgate, but Queed did not notice this.
"'I wonder how long they are going to stay, said the Judge, after we had waited some fifteen minutes. The conversation behind the arras, at first low and murmuring, was becoming animated. I distinctly heard the Parsee say, 'Who are the blaggards ye've brought here wid ye? followed by an unintelligible reply. "'What did he say? queried the Judge, looking up sharply.
Dammit, Doc, I'm no saint nor sam-singer and I've done things I hadn't ought like other men, and woke up shamed the next morning, too, but I've got a sister who's a decent good girl as there is anywhere, and by God, sir, I'd kill a man who just looked at her with the dirty eyes of them little soft-mouth blaggards!"
"How'd ye leave Mary Ann?" Si had never been under such a fire before. He stood it as long as he could, and 'then he stopped. "Halt!" shouted a chorus of voices. "Shoulder Arms!" "Order Arms!" By this time Si's wrath was at the boiling point. Casting around him a look of defiance, he exclaimed: "You cowardly blaggards; I can jest lick any two of ye, an' I'll dare ye to come on.
"Faith and its raison enough there is for that same; for it was to Connaught that Cromwell and the rest of the blaggards banished or confined the Irish hayros that gave the Sassenach such throuble in oulden times, and that's the raison, you know, that the sayin, 'to h l or Connaught, first got a futtin in the world, and that Connaught is regarded as bein seven miles out, by the people who know the ins and outs of it."
The token's plain! There's no snakes! And with such a sign to go by, there must've been shenanigans goin' on to make things go wrong! And till those shenanigans are exposed an' stopped there'll be no more help from Earth for ye blaggards!" He stamped his way into the presidential mansion. The door slammed shut. Moira, his granddaughter, regarded the president with sympathy.
At length there was something like a pause, and several voices shouted out "what the divil do you mane, Tom?" "He's showin' the garran bane at last," shouted another "desartin' his colors!" "oh! we're gintlemen now it seems, an' not his own blaggards, as we used to be Tiper-to'e's vagabones that stood by him oh no! Tom, to hell wid you and your gintlemen three cheers for Gully Preston!"
