It was much better to let him see we didn't fancy him, and let him clear out of his own accord." "Yes, much better," answered a toady friend; "you managed it very well, Horn, so you did." "You see, when a fellow's a sneak and a cad he's sure to be uncomfortable among a lot of gentlemen," said Horncastle, by way of enlarging on the interesting topic.
The Creem of tartar and sulpher operated several times on the child in the course of the last night, he is considerably better this morning, tho the swelling of the neck has abated but little; we still apply polices of onions which we renew frequently in the course of the day and night. at noon we were visited by 4 indians who informed us they cad come from their village on Lewis's river at the distance of two days ride in order to see us and obtain a little eyewater, Capt.
"No; I don't think it would be quite a success," said the girl critically. "You see, I think you are the most detestable person I ever met. I really pity the other girl. It's better to be an old bachelor than to be a young cad." Garrison rose slowly. "And what is a cad?" he asked abstractedly. "One who shames his birth and position by his breeding." "And no question of dishonesty enters into it?"
I have about fifteen minutes in which to convince Patricia both of her own folly and of the fact that Jack is an unmitigated cad, and to get him off the place quietly, so that Anne will suspect nothing. And I never knew any reasonable argument to appeal to Patricia, and Jack will be a cornered rat!
"Yes, I hadn't time to tell you yesterday. He's been expelled." "The cad!" cried Bloomfield. "It's lucky for him he was able to slink off unnoticed." "Oh! don't be too down on him," said the captain. "You'd have been sorry for him if you'd have seen how cut up and ashamed he was. After all, he was little better than a tool in somebody else's hands." "Silk's you mean?" said Bloomfield.
Brother, that woman was playing you for a fool and I see you were played." "Cad, what do you mean?" demanded Oscar. "I mean just what I say, brother." "You saw that lovely girl?" "I did.". "Did you hear her strange tale?" "I did not; but I watched her face while she was talking to you." "I did not see you." "No, I did not come under your gaze."
'Yes; it had been so arranged. But I found that cad, Ham, there, and he saw fit to insult me. You can now guess, I suppose, the nature of my mission. 'Hem; things are really serious then. Do you want me to help you through with the affair? 'If you will, old fellow. My wish is that you wait upon this person in the morning, that he may name a friend with whom you can arrange the meeting.
Then it was he who spoke: "Do you think I haven't told myself all that?" he said. "Do you think I don't know I'm a damned fool, a cad, a liar! What the devil's the good of talking about it?" "But I can't understand it," I said. "No," he replied, "because you're a fool, because you have only seen one side of me. You think me a grand gentleman, because I talk big, and am full of noble sentiment.
"Oh, they need not fear. If Acton deserves his flannels, he will get them. I've nothing whatever against his cricket." Acton learned this, and instantly his new-found zeal for cricket slackened considerably. "Oh!" said he to himself, "I can't blister you there, Bourne, eh? I can't pose as the deserving cricketer kept out of the Eleven by a jealous cad of a captain, eh?
And then there came to my mind, in a sudden, brilliant flash upon the screen of recollection the picture of Ajor as I had last seen her, and I lived again the delicious moment in which we had clung to one another, lips smothering lips, as I left her to go to the council hall of Al-tan; and I could have kicked myself for the snob and the cad that my thoughts had proven me me, who had always prided myself that I was neither the one nor the other!
