The spurious baronet acquiesced in the proposal as readily as it had been made by him whom he had temporarily deposed; for, though a weak and a vain young man, he was far from being a dastard. "This is a serious business," observed Paul, "and it ought to be ordered with method and intelligence. If we have a ship to care for, we have those also who are infinitely more precious." "Very true, Mr.
Be gentle with your wife; and if you survive me, do not make her life one prolonged existence of agony." "Silence, or I shall look upon you as a dastard," returned Norbert fiercely. "Miserable fool!" said De Croisenois. "On guard, then, and may heaven decide the issue!" There was a sharp clash as their swords crossed, and the combat began with intense vigor.
"The villain!" he muttered, involuntarily clinching his fist as if to smite the dastard as he followed Sullivan into the parlor, starting back when he saw the prostrate form upon the floor, and heard the lady say: "My brother, sir, has fainted." She was Anna, then; and Hugh guessed rightly why she was there.
Well hast thou taught the dastard foe That British honour never yields To democratic influence, low, The glory of a thousand fields. Justice to traitors, long delay'd, This night was boldly dealt by thee; The debt of vengeance thou hast paid, And may the deed immortal be.
But the reverse more often occurs, and foiled and disappointed, he then becomes, though naturally a dastard and full of fear, absolutely courageous; the fire of hunger consumes his stomach, he fears nothing, and braves every danger; all prudence is forgotten, and his natural ferocity is wound up to such a pitch, that he hesitates not to meet certain destruction, attacks the animals that are actually under the care of man, man himself, throws himself suddenly upon the poor benighted traveller, and gliding slowly and softly, with the stealthy movements of a serpent, seizes and carries off with him to the depth of the forest the infant sleeping in its cradle, or the little, helpless, innocent child which, ignorant of danger, laughs and plays at the cottage-door.
Instead of confessing his own sins, he accused others of criminality, who were known to be innocent; until Columbus, incensed at this falsehood and treachery, and losing all patience, in his mingled indignation and scorn, ordered the dastard wretch to be swung off from the battlements. This sudden act of severity was promptly followed up.
Withal I shall be but a dastard if I answer not one man, for fear of I know not what." So he spake in a loud and cheerful voice: "Yea, there is a man anigh, and I desire thy fellowship, if we might but meet. But how shall we see each other in the blackness of the wildwood night?" The other laughed, and the laugh sounded merry and sweet, and the voice said: "Hast thou no flint and fire-steel?"
"Is that what a gentleman does?" "As a rule, it is not." "I despise you for a mean dastard! I have no more to say to you." "Come, Miss Bernard, let us be reasonable. We are neither of us blameless." "Do you think Eugene would listen to such a tale? And such a person?" "He might and he might not. But Haddington would." "What could you tell him?"
But it was not pity, it was just an age-old feeling against shooting a man in a trap. Or perhaps it was pride and the white man's instinct not to foul his clean hands with butcher's blood. Wunpost wanted to kill him but he stepped back instead and looked him in the eye. "You rattlesnake-eyed dastard!" he hissed between his teeth and the Indian began to beg.
Cursed to all time be the dastard that falters, Never on earth may his sins be forgiven Death on his soul, shut the portals of heaven! A curse on his heart, and a curse on his brain! Who strikes not for Rome, shall to Rome be her Cain! Breeze fill our banners, sun gild our spears, Spirito Santo, Cavaliers! Cavalier in the singular number.
