To be ashamed of his own father is perhaps the bitterest experience a young man can go through. It seemed to Val, hurrying away, that his career had ended before it had begun. How could he go up to Oxford now amongst all those chaps, those splendid friends of Crum's, who would know that his father was a 'bounder'! And suddenly he hated Crum. Who the devil was Crum, to say that?
The nicely dressed young man meditated over the handle of his cane. "A bounder of that kind can't have a particularly nice time," he said, "anyhow. If he does get into a decent school, he must get tremendously cut by all the decent men." "Too thick-skinned to mind that sort of thing, I fancy," said the scholastic agent. "He's a new type.
I suppose he told you you were a marvel and bleated about his ideals?" John could not deny that Mr. Jannissary had spoken of his ideals several times during their interview. "I know him, the greasy little bounder!" Hinde exclaimed. "You'll never get one farthing from that book of yours, for he won't print more than five hundred copies!..." "He will if they're demanded." "If they're demanded.
On your way, gentleman! "For heaven's sake, George," cried Simmy, arising. "Don't be an ass." He took the tag from Tresslyn's coat and handed it back to the waiter. "Give him the scarf-pin if you like, old man, but don't rob him of his badge of honour. He earns an honest living with that thing, you know." George sat down. He was suddenly abashed. "What an awful bounder you must think I am, Simmy."
Quoth Sir Richard, "Thou man of law, wilt thou not befriend me in mine hour of need?" "Nay," said the other, "I hold with this holy Prior, who hath paid me my fees in hard gold, so that I am bounder to him." "Wilt thou not be my friend, Sir Sheriff?" said Sir Richard.
That he is a man of character, and not the "bounder and scoundrel" the Press now makes him out to be, goes without saying, or otherwise he would not have received the honour of a title at the hands of a grateful country: in fact, until his entrance into the troubled waters of Irish politics he was one of the most universally respected of our civil servants.
Lowther, his second son, can be dismissed in a few words. He was a good-looking specimen of the British bounder. He thought coarsely of women. While spending money freely in the society of ladies he met at the Empire promenade, or in the Cafe d' l'Europe, he practised mean economics in private.
If the dear boy should get tired of the routine, he could easily take up something else more to his taste." Apart from his worldly prospects, there was little to attract a girl of Violet's character toward Cuthbert Aston. He was what men technically style "a bounder!" Yet, empty-headed, arrogant, self-centered though he might be, he was a rich man's only son.
The young man from behind the counter in a Liverpool or Blackburn shop would probably have been frightened to death and afraid to open his mouth in self-revelation, whereas Temple Barholm was so entirely a bounder that he did not know he was one, and was ready to make an ass of himself to any extent.
Ennison seemed to feel already the shadow of tragedy approaching. He stood by her side, and he suffered her hands to rest in his. "You remember the man in Paris who used to follow me about Meysey Hill they called him?" He nodded. "Miserable bounder," he murmured. "Turned out to be an impostor, too." "He imposed on me," Annabel continued. "I believed that he was the great multi-millionaire.
