'You might have said that at the time, then! exclaimed the General reproachfully. Lambert lifted his eyebrows. 'My dear chap, I thought you knew. Wasn't that what you were all driving at? 'Not me, said Clarence. 'I was against it from the first. I told them it was caddish to insult a fallen foe, but they would go and stick up those beastly notices. 'All's well that ends well, eh?
I don't think any one can read Webb's 'Industrial Democracy' and 'The History of Trade Unionism' without feeling that, on the whole, employers have been rather caddish to workmen ... so I don't blame the Unions for making so much fuss about their rights. But I'd like to see them making as much fuss about the quality of the work done by their members. That's their real function.
One morning the German failed to return the salute. The Frenchman thought little of this, and greeted him in the customary manner at their next meeting. To his surprise, the Boche shook his fist at him in the most blustering and caddish way. There was no mistaking the insult. They had passed not fifty metres from each other, and the Frenchman distinctly saw the closed fist.
He broke with the Carhart interests in July, and in August Samuel Meredith, at thirty-five years old, was, to all intents, made Carhart's partner. The fourth fist had done its work. I suppose that there's a caddish streak in every man that runs crosswise across his character and disposition and general outlook.
Robin Hood was a fine chap an' so was Little-John an' they used to set ambushes an' capture the Sheriff of Nottingham an' all sorts of caddish barons, an' tie them to trees. "My Imp," I said, shaking my head, "the times are sadly changed. One cannot tie barons caddish or otherwise to trees in these degenerate days."
They redeem you, make you well-bred; they make "good company" of you mentally. If they find you with a naturally boorish or caddish mind, they cannot leave you so, as a technical school may leave you. This, at least, is pretended; this is what we hear among college-trained people when they compare their education with every other sort. Now, exactly how much does this signify?
The conduct of Rochester is so primevally and superhumanly caddish that Bret Harte in his admirable travesty scarcely exaggerated it. 'Then, resuming his usual manner, he threw his boots at my head and withdrew, does perhaps reach to something resembling caricature.
He had been jealous when she said that. "You don't really care for me," he had said. "You really love Gilbert!" "Of course I love Gilbert," she had answered, laughing at him and patting his cheek, "but I love you, too. I love lots of people! ..." Then, ashamed of himself, he had left her. It was caddish of him to speak of Gilbert to her, for Gilbert was his friend and her lover.
'That's a caddish thing to do, he said, with difficulty; 'I didn't give them to you to put in the fire! 'Oh, I thought you did, said the clown, 'I beg your pardon; and he threw the rest after them as he spoke. 'You're a beast! cried Tommy, indignantly; 'I've done with you, after this. 'Oh, no, yer ain't, he returned. 'I have, though, said Tommy; 'we're not friends any longer.
"SHE counts." Ah! He was not going to say: She doesn't! It would be caddish to say that. Even if she didn't count Did she still? it would be mean and low. And in his eyes just then there was the look that had made his tutor compare him to a lion cub in trouble. Sylvia was touching his arm. "Mark!" "Yes." "Don't!" He got up and took his rod. What was the use?
