Vandeuvres and Philippe Hugon likewise indulged in endless jokes against the "cads," the quarrelsome set who scuttled off the moment they clapped eyes on a bayonet. But Georges that evening remained pale and somber. "What can be the matter with that baby?" asked Nana, noticing his troubled appearance. "With me? Nothing I am listening," he muttered. But he was really suffering.
That'll show up his jolly gross conduct, eh?" "No, no!" cried Bosher. "Give it up, you fellows; it's mine. Don't be cads, I say; it's private." And he made a wild dash for his treasure. But it was no use. Parson gravely addressed his prisoner. "Look here, young Bosher, it's no use making a row. We must look at the diary to see if you're really a Radical or not.
'I recognise that, but the question is, What am I to do with you now? What would you do if you were in my place? I should like to know your views of the best way out of the situation. Hyacinth was silent. 'You see, Dr. Henry went on, 'we can't have our divinity lecturers called fools and cads before their classes.
And if you are a girl, you can't knock people down when they are cads." Bell spoke regretfully, and Hildegarde could not help laughing at her friend's angry eyes and kindling cheek. The strong white bare arms, the deep chest and square shoulders, looked as if Bell would be no mean antagonist. "I should not like to have you knock me down, my dear!" said Hilda. "You never would need it," said Bell.
Dickens hit the mark so that the bell rang when he made all the lower officials, who were cads, tell Clennam coldly that his claim was absurd, until the last official, who is a gentleman, tells him genially that the whole business is absurd. Even here, perhaps, there is something more than the old exuberant derision of Dickens; there is a touch of experience that verges on scepticism.
When Theresa, in the hall below, heard Tom, she knew that Mr. Wrenn would room here no more. She galloped up-stairs and screeched over her mother's shoulder: "You will pick on a lady, will you, you drunken scum you you cads I'll have you arrested so quick you " "Look here, lady," said Tom, gently. "I'm a plain-clothes man, a detective." His large voice purred like a tiger-tabby's.
She produced good and bad, cads and gentlemen, but she could put a bit of the fanatic into them all. The Indiscretions of the Same I was standing stark naked next morning in that icy bedroom, trying to bathe in about a quart of water, when Stumm entered. He strode up to me and stared me in the face.

Terwilliger never does that unless he's mightily interested in a man." "I er I hope you are not to be prejudiced against me," the earl said, uneasily, "by er by what those cads of tradesmen say about me." "Not a bit," returned Terwilliger "not a bit.
To hold the balance straight, however, I may remark that if the men were all fearful "cads," they were, with their cigarettes and their inconsistency, less heavy, less brutal, than our dear English-speaking cad; just as the bright little cafe where a robust mater- familias, doling out sugar and darning a stocking, sat in her place under the mirror behind the comptoir, was a much more civilized spot than a British public- house, or a "commercial room," with pipes and whiskey, or even than an American saloon.
"Jolly right too," said Cusack, delighted to agree with his old enemy for once; "those schoolhouse cads are cheats, every one of them?"
