"I used to always be a-telling our cap'in they'll do well if they mind Mrs. E, she has the soul of a man and the wits of a king; and it's my belief even if they hadna gotten us back, she'd a outwitted them ere rascallion divildims." Nothing delighted the boys so much as to put Smart into a rage, talking about the pirates.
The rascallion smiled and spat contemptuously in the dust before him. "If you show me the guineas," said he, "I'll show you the men." "Here's five of them, to begin with, that won't be counted against you. There'll be five more in your pocket when we leave Rye, and a third five when the job's ended." His big hand closed over the coins. "I like your way of speaking," he said.
Why, if a poor fellow does happen to fire a slug of a morning, I am sure you were never the lady to bring him to harm. 'Well, you rascallion, go, mind your duty; this gentleman and I belong to the service; but be sure you look after that shy cock in the slouched hat that sits in the corner of the coach. I believe he's one of the rebels in disguise.
And if Agnes failed to show the proper amount of interest, Philippina would poke her in the ribs and exclaim: “You little rascallion, has the cat got your tongue?” Agnes would then sneak off in mournful silence to her school books, and sit for hours over the simplest kind of a problem in the whole arithmetic.

But every man with a bad eye is not necessarily a rascallion, and Spedella, perhaps, was better than he looked.
