Gladys ejaculated, "of all the beastly cads I have ever seen he fairly takes the biscuit. What colossal cheek! The idea of his coming here and speaking to us like that! Can't we prosecute him, Father?" "Hardly!" John Martin replied, "best leave him alone. I wish he hadn't come! He's upset me! My nerves are anyhow! Which was the tree he spoke about?"
What do you think, those young Parrett's cads came down in a body and kicked up the biggest row you ever saw said they were a club, and made no end of beasts of themselves, and got kicked out at last, and serve them right too." "They're always fooling about at something," said Wyndham. "That they are. They want a good taking down, and we mean to do it next week in the junior house match."
But it's really dreadful to think of it all I would never have believed Philip Errington could have so disgraced himself!" "He is no gentleman!" said Lady Winsleigh freezingly. "He has low tastes and low desires. He and his friend Lorimer are two cads, in my opinion!" "Clara!" exclaimed Mrs. Marvelle warningly. "You were fond of him once! now, don't deny it!"
“Ye—es,” stammered Twiddel, “certainly, sir.” “You may now retire—and the faster the better.” As the crestfallen doctor followed his ally out of the restaurant, the Baron exclaimed in disgust, “Ze cads! You are too merciful. You should punish.” “My dear Baron, after all I am obliged to these rascals for the most amusing time I have ever had in my life, and one of the best friends I’ve ever made.”

They have no fixed offices, their legal business being transacted in the parlours of public-houses, or the yards of prisons, whither they repair in crowds, and canvass for customers after the manner of omnibus cads. They are of a greasy and mildewed appearance; and if they can be said to have any vices at all, perhaps drinking and cheating are the most conspicuous among them.
I won't talk to cads no, not even before grown-ups. They can jolly well think what they like." After this no one spoke to Archibald. Oswald rushed for a plumber, and such was his fiery eloquence he really caught one and brought him home. Then he and Dicky waited for Father when he came in, and they got him into the study, and Oswald said what they had all agreed on.

I really can't see why some cads who clean windows, or drive omnibuses, or sell vegetables in a donkey-cart, or carry bricks up a ladder, should be any better than we.
