God does nothing of which any just man, the thing set fairly and fully before him so that he understood, would not say, 'That is fair. Who would, I repeat, say a man was a just man because he insisted on prosecuting every offender? A scoundrel might do that. Yet the justice of God, forsooth, is his punishment of sin!
Archie is just my friend, nothing more. I have told him, and better told him, that I am to marry Andrew." "He is a scoundrel then to take you out." "He is nothing of the kind. He is just a friend. I am doing Andrew no wrong, and myself a deal of good." "Then why are you feared for people seeing you?" "I am not feared. But I don't want to be the wonder and the talk of every idle body.
"Where did you get the brooch?" he asked, trying to keep himself calm, but with a visible effort. "I got it from my mother, and she received it from my father " "Beecot Beecot," said the old man, fingering his lips, much agitated. "I know no one of that name save yourself, and you are not a spy a scoundrel a a " He caught the eyes of Paul fixed on him in amazement, and suddenly changed his tone.
By the thud which followed and a curse, he knew it had hit the object, but not with sufficient force to bring the scoundrel down. The fellow escaped; Bill went to his master and lifted him up; how he got Roberts home he did not know, but it was hours before Roberts could speak. Towards sunrise he recovered, and would go immediately to assure himself that the ricks were safe.
"Upon my word, you draw a very bad picture of the world: you colour highly; and, by the way, I observe that whenever you find any man committing a roguish action, instead of calling him a scoundrel, you show those great teeth of yours, and chuckle out 'A man of the world! a man of the world!"

"Major," I says, "you terrify me and may do the pet a permanent injury you would never forgive yourself."

"Uncle hates me, and Mike Bannock's right, scoundrel as he is. Uncle has robbed me, and I'll go and fight for myself in the world, and when I get well off I'll come back and seize him by the throat and make him give up all he has taken."
Slowly, and hypnotising Pashinsky, he approached the scamp, took him by the collar and pulled him towards the fence. Then, losing his breath, Derevenko said, "Leave the boy alone, you scoundrel!
