"Indeed, but I am, you scoundrel," cried Uncle Josiah, wrathfully. "You are one of the worst kind of thieves " "Here, take that back, master."
In his eagerness to make Queen Elizabeth a monster of treacherous rapacity, Froude has completely overreached himself, He says that 'she permitted some miserable scoundrel to lay a plan before her for saving expense, by cutting down the seamen's diet. The 'miserable scoundrel' had submitted a proposal for diminishing the expenses which the administration was certainly ill able to bear, The candid reader will draw his own conclusions when he finds that the Queen did not approve the plan submitted; and yet that not one of her assailants has let this appear.
You can't back down, Max; you must meet Bridau. I had a great mind to pick a quarrel with the low scoundrel myself and send him to the shades; I wish I had, and then the bourgeois wouldn't have seen the spectacle of the Guard against the Guard.

Mudge's diction was ever open to criticism, but he had a faculty for conveying his meaning which genius well might envy. The letter read: MY DEAR SYMES: Are you the damnedest fool or the biggest scoundrel out of jail? Write and let me know.
His hostess proceeded to give the latter some of her attention. "Mr. Phipps," she said, "they tell me you've taken that scoundrel of a nephew of mine Dredlinton into your business, whatever it is. He won't do you any good, you know." "I'm very sorry to hear that," Phipps replied. "He seemed to me rather a brainy person for his order." "One for me," Lady Amesbury chuckled. "I don't care.
I never wish to see you again: but I'm glad I've done it now by accident, if it were only to inflict upon you the humiliation of knowing that I have measured the utmost depth of your infamy! You mean, common, false scoundrel, I have measured to the bottom the depth of your infamy! 'Oh, don't, Ronald said imploringly, laying his hand upon her arm.
I knew that she was no friend of mine, and that her lover sided with the Choiseuls against me; and was consequently the more delighted to see the little scoundrel come to receive the order for avenging me.
'No, that hasn't suffered much, but the dam is broken. 'Jesus! Jesus! 'The water is up to our yard. Those scoundrel Swabians have dammed up their fields, and that has taken some more off the hill. 'Curse them! 'Have you looked into the stable? asked Maciek. 'Is it likely I shouldn't?
