I couldn't possibly interest them and I'm sure I was too busy with my own troubles to take any interest in them even if I had known of their existence. Even down here I resented at first their presence as an intrusion. Whenever I met them I was inclined to play the cad and there's no bigger cad on the face of the earth than a workingman who is beginning to feel his oats.
Ravenel acquiesced, in a tone which indicated there could be but one opinion on such a subject. "You know how firmly I have believed this always, mother!" She pressed his hand for reply. "I told her that I could never marry her. But the thing was too strong for me I went away from the place where she was. Oh," he cried, in a heat of self-abasing, "I grow cold when I think what a cad I was!
Jack always fired up when any reference of this kind was made. "I don't want you to tell me whether I am," he retorted. "Why, he's a regular cad," cried some one. "I know him well; I saw him selling penn'orths of nuts a week or two ago in the Borough." "You hear that," said Horncastle, turning to Jack. "Was it so?"
"But as Molly promised ye " said he. "Just so," said Jimmy. "My own sentiments, neatly expressed. Shall we start, Miss McEachern?" "That fellah," said Mr. Wesson solemnly to his immortal soul, "is a damn bounder. And cad," he added after a moment's reflection. The fowls lived in a little world of noise and smells at the back of the stables.
"I thought he told you." "Yes, he told me. But I'm a cad for letting you think he didn't care for you. I believe he did, or that he would have cared awfully if my father hadn't died just then. Your being in the room that day upset him. If it hadn't been for that " "Yes, but there was that. It was like he was when Binky died and he couldn't stand Yearp.

I have fourteen dollars' worth of telegrams from Sanderson wiring from some God-forsaken hole in Montana, that it's all rot about Armitage being that fake Baron von Kissel. Where, may I ask, does this leave me? And what cad gave that story to the papers?
No! Over my broken life? No! Over any cowardly complaint of mine? Over any envy of this good young Englishman? No! no! no! No! madame, I was not born a cad, and you shall not remould me. Accept, once more, my defiance! Young Clyde came on the evening of the day on which the good fortune of the ladies' had been declared.
'Shut up, Jim, and don't be such a cad as to take advantage of that youngster's friendly ways.
"'Cad'? Let me think," drawled Don Carlos, seemingly not a whit rebuffed, his dark eyes still twinkling mischievously. "In Spanish, 'cad' would be 'mozo' or 'caballerizo. 'Caballerear' means to set up for a gentleman. You must let me teach you Spanish, Myra. It is an ideal language in which to make love.
Some thriving colony is the place for me under a new name, a new life. So long as mother and you know, and send me a cheery word sometimes, and wish me well, I shall be all right. You see, it's easier to go when the girl that a fellow loves is is going to marry another man, a rich man a cad. But that's her affair.
