Carry the street- door key about with you! I've heard of such things with young good- for-nothing bachelors, with nobody to care what became of 'em; but for a married man to leave his wife and children in a house with a door upon the latch don't talk to me about Chubb, it's all the same- -a great deal you must care for us.
"You do not seem to have been among the admirers of the Signora Bianca," said the lawyer, with a furtively shrewd look at the old woman. "Admirers, indeed! She had too many admirers, I am thinking. A good- for-nothing, impudent, brazen well, she has gone to her account, so I won't be the one to speak ill of her."
For your eyes were shut always to the sidelong looks, your ears never heard the things people said 'A good- for-nothing ship-captain, a scamp and a ne'er-do-weel, one that had a lass at every port, and, maybe, wives too; one that none knew or ever had seen a pirate maybe, or a slave-dealer, or a jail-bird, for all they knew! Married oh yes, married right enough, but nothing else not even a home.
That editor must think that 'Jane Meredith' is full of years and ripe experience. I probably wouldn't get ten cents, no not even a for-nothing chance, if he knew those articles were written by a Junior." "Junior nothing!" scoffed Katy. "There was not a day of his life that your pa did not spend hours drillin' ye in things the rest of the girls in your school never heard of.
Philip seized hold of Gawtrey's hand, grasped it warmly, and the good- for-nothing continued "Do you know, that I loved that girl as well as I had ever loved the mother, though in another way; she was what I fancied the mother to be; still more fair, more graceful, more winning, with a heart as full of love as her mother's had been of vanity. I loved that child as if she had been my own daughter.
"If she had gone on like mine, you would have been ever so much better than I." "No, I should have been bored and bothered into being regularly good- for-nothing. You don't know what she's really like. She's nicer than anyone -as jolly as any fellow, and yet a lady all over."
A man, who, thus deprived by the constitution of society of all his natural rights, makes trick and artifice his trade may well be pardoned: he is in a state of war with his oppressors, and cunning is his natural weapon. But in our times, a servant, who is free to choose his situation and his master, is a good- for-nothing scoundrel if he assists the son to deceive the father.
At this taunt the son started as if stung by a serpent; raised his head to its full height, folded his arms, and replied: "Sir, you wrong me: for more than twenty years I have maintained myself no matter how, but without taxing you; and now, I felt remorse for having suffered you to discard me, now, when you are old and helpless, and, I heard, blind: and you might want aid, even from your poor good- for-nothing son.
