Utter subjugation by first love; that, perhaps; she affirmed it, and possibly with truth; a flattering assumption, at all events. But, all said and done, the issue had been of her own seeking. Why, then, accuse himself of blackguardly conduct, if he had turned a deaf ear to her pleading? Not one word of marriage had previously escaped his lips, nor anything that could imply a promise.
Furthermore, he made the direct statement that he was not anxious to continue in the service of a firm that resorted to shady and illegal practices, such as sly grog-selling, and other blackguardly things. These words he uttered to myself and Captain Hendry.
"And what did you think when Mr. Faulkner suddenly struck his prisoner in the face?" "Am I to answer that question?" the witness asked the bench. "I do not think that it is an improper question," the chairman replied. "Very well, sir. Then, if I must say it, I thought it was one of the most blackguardly and cowardly things I ever saw done." "Thank you, Captain Downes.
"If any man," cried Stuart thickly, "dares to say that that blackguardly lie is true I'll kill him. You or any one else. Is that what you mean, damn you? If it is, say so, and I'll break every bone of your body." "Well, that's much better," growled Clay, sullenly. "The way you went on wishing you were dead and hating yourself made me almost lose faith in mankind.
"Now that's what I call a downright, rotten, blackguardly shame a BLACKGUARDLY SHAME!" His voice rose in tones as it increased in intensity until it almost reached a shriek. Something was expected of him. At any rate indignation. Well, he was certainly indignant. "Closed its doors, indeed!" he went on. "Why should it close its doors? That's what I want to know!
It was said to be a blackguard regiment, that same regiment of the Faith; but, 'faith, I saw nothing blackguardly going on in it, for you would hardly reckon card-playing and dominoes, and pitch and toss blackguardly, and I saw nothing else in it. There was one thing in it which I disliked the priests drawing their Spanish knives occasionally, when they lost their money.
What's more, it isn't as if I were yielding one point. It would only be the beginning. If I give in now, I might as well turn over the mills to McGrath at once, and let him run them according to his own blackguardly will. You know how such things go. Give them an inch" "And they raise a hell!" put in Colonel Broadcastle. "Exactly! It's commercial suicide.
"In the World of Fashion, sir, there are no gentlemen left," his hearer broke in. "How, sir ?" "I say no, sir, no one. I say, damme, sir " "But, sir " "I say there are no gentlemen in the fashionable world they are all blackguardly Bucks, cursed Corinthians, and mincing Macaronies nowadays, sir. Fashionable world bah, sir!" "But, sir, is not the Prince himself " "The Prince, sir!"
It was an escape most women'd gone down on their knees and thanked their Maker for, and blessed the day they'd been freed from a blackguardly drunken brute. "But what did this woman do my wife, the woman I misused and beat and dragged down in the mud with me?
"Yonder shooting was a bad bit o' work. I've nowt against a gun, but dash pistols! They're blackguardly weapons for a gentleman to carry about; 'specially where women are around." "You are quite right, uncle. That pistol-shot cost me many a day's heart-ache." "And t' poor little lass hed to suffer, too! Well, well, we thought about her above a bit."
