Should I be doing a caddish thing, I wondered? Putting the difficulty to Cousin Egbert, he dismissed it impatiently by saying: "Oh, shucks!" In truth I do not believe he comprehended it in the least. But then it was that I fell upon my inspiration. I might take Colonel Marmaduke Ruggles from the North Side set, but I would give them another and bigger notable in his place.
Yes, wake up; this is me or I oh, bother the difference in grammar! I'm going to be married right away. Yes! Wake up your sister don't answer me back; bring her along, too you must! Remind Agnes of the time I saved her from drowning in Lake Ronkonkoma I know it's caddish to refer to it, but she must come with you. Yes. Nevada is here, waiting. We've been engaged quite a while.
They are entitled to tell me to my face what they think of me. They must have their right. Oh, yes, I've got to give them that. To-night. Now." He had explained, in those enchanted hours in the park, that it was really by resolve to do the right thing, and not to do the caddish thing, that he had presented himself the howling cad that they would hold him.
Then, about a month before the date fixed for our marriage, he met Olivia Quainton, fell in love with her, and broke off our engagement a week before our wedding-day." "Well, of all the caddish tricks!" cried Mr. Manley. "You can imagine how furious I was. And I wasn't going to stand it not from Loudwater, at any rate.
I made a lovely axe with wood and silver paper, you know; and when I cut her head off she cried awfully, and I only gave her the weeniest little tap an' they sent me to bed at six o'clock for it. I believe she cried on purpose awfully caddish, wasn't it?" "My dear Imp," said I, "the older you grow, the more the depravity of the sex will become apparent to you."
In expanding his theories of painting, he always used his lost treasures as examples. Stoss never wearied of getting the caddish genius to describe his paintings, the loss of which in Fleischmann's opinion was the worst disaster connected with the sinking of the Roland.
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?
I will not speak of my own emotions in connection with this incredibly caddish doctrine that the strength of the strong is admirable, but not the valour of the weak. It is enough to say that I have to summon up the physical presence of Shaw, his frank gestures, kind eyes, and exquisite Irish voice, to cure me of a mere sensation of contempt.
"What is it to-night," he inquired, "pirates?" "Hardly so bad as that," I returned; "to-night the air is full of the clash of armour and the ring of steel; if you do not hear it that is not our fault." "An' the woods are full of caddish barons and caitiff knaves, you know, aren't they, Uncle Dick?"
I regret that circumstances compel me to force myself upon you in this caddish manner. But my duty as a soldier in the service of His Majesty, the Emperor of Germany, demands it. I shall not delay you long, however, if you will only do what I ask." There was a moment's pause. Involuntarily Edestone drew back slightly from the instrument. "Count Kurtz von Hemelstein, did you say?"
