I am told that Tim Healy is worth £30,000, all got out of Home Rule, and my informant says that Tim would not risk a penny in his own country. Tim is a blackguardly kind of politician, but he is mighty cute, and shirks Irish securities. Where are the business managers of the Irish nation coming from? That's what I want to know."
Every day during the week scores of visitors had dropped in to see her and to chat familiarly all sorts of strange men and women that seemed to flock round her, anomalous citizens of Bohemia, vague hangers-on of the theatrical cosmos; all that strange melange of the happy-go-lucky, the eccentric, the ill-balanced, the blackguardly, the unprincipled, the hapless, the shiftless, the unclassed, the sensual and the besotted that shoulder and hustle one another in the world of the theatre; all the riff-raff recruited from the greater world without by the fascinating glare of the footlights.
And then suddenly he did something so extremely blackguardly that everything was at an end. It's no good repeating details, and I hate to think about it. We know little about our neighbours, and I'm not so sure that we know much about ourselves.
With so free a design, no thought that occurred to him would need to be dismissed without expression; and he could draw at full length the portrait of his own bedevilled soul, and of the bleak and blackguardly world which was the theatre of his exploits and sufferings.
'Stop! not a bit of it, cried the squire. 'No one speaks of you. I give you my word, you 're never mentioned by man, woman or child in the house. 'Silence concerning a father insinuates dishonour, Mr. Beltham. 'Damn your fine speeches, and keep your blackguardly hands off that boy, the squire thundered. 'Mind, if you take him, he goes for good.
Dexter avoided the onslaught, and gave Bob another crack on the ear. Then, trusting in his superior size and strength, Bob dashed at Dexter again, and for a full quarter of an hour there was a fierce up and down fight, which was exceedingly blackguardly and reprehensible no doubt, but under the circumstances perfectly natural.
Forest King had never failed its master hitherto, and Bertie would have been saved by his faithful steed, but for the fact that a blackguardly turf welcher doctored the horse's mouth, and Forest King was beaten, and couldn't finish the course. "Something ails King," said Cecil calmly, "he is fairly knocked off his legs. Some vet must look to him; ridden a yard further he will fall."
Then you ups and tells him you had it out with Big Jem and the rest. `What for, sir? he says just like that. `For saying, you know what, sir you says, and tells him right out, though you wouldn't tell me. `And you let that big, ugly, blackguardly warmint thrash you like that? he says, in his fierce way just like that.
"Pardon me, my dear madam, there is nothing seriously the matter. Your husband has had the misfortune to be the victim of a most blackguardly assault; but I am sure that, under your care, he will be all right in a day or two; and, with your permission, I take my leave." Mrs. Coleman was irritated. The first emotion was not sympathy.
Gus murmured something indistinctly. "When I knocked you down I did the most blackguardly thing that even I have ever done, and, you may believe me or not, I am now about disgusted with myself. I felt that there was only one thing that I could do, and that was to apologize." Jim was so obviously cut up by remorse that Gus thereupon buried the hatchet.
