"When your wretched, abominable roads, my dear, dry up so that a body can walk without sinking up to their neck in mud " ran Miss Felicia's letter in answer to Ruth's invitation, "I'll come down for the night," and she did, bringing Ruth half of her laces, now that she was determined to throw herself away on "that good-for nothing Yes, Jack, I mean you and nobody else, and you needn't stand there laughing at me, for every word of it's true; for what in the world you two babes in the wood are going to live on no mortal man knows;" Ruth answering with her arm tight around the dear lady's neck, a liberty nobody, not even Peter, ever dared take and a whisper in her ear that Jack was the blessedest ever, and that she loved him so sometimes she was well-nigh distracted a statement which the old lady remarked was literally true.
A loud outburst of laughter resounded from the pit to the upper gallery. But in the midst of the din, a loud and angry voice exclaimed: "Ah, you young good-for- nothing, if I had you here I would show you how to behave!" And a threatening fist and vigorous arm was raised in the midst of the orchestra-stalls.
What's more, I ain't goin' to stop 'til I get to be a boardin'-house keeper. And what'll you be? A lazy, drunken, good-for- nothin' sponge." Phineas, toying with his hat, suddenly sniffed the air and smiled. "Molasses candy!" he exclaimed joyfully. "I couldn't git on to what was making me feel so good. Say, Sis, you must 'a' knowed I was a- comin'."
"You must do something anything or you'll become a good-for- nothing. I've seen so many of our sort go to the dogs; we haven't enough power of resistance!" "It's all the same to me what becomes of me!" replied Pelle drowsily. "I'm sick of the whole thing!" It was Sunday, and Pelle felt a longing for something unaccustomed.
"Take the dear boy and show him our purchases, love!" said Mrs. Dodd, with a little gentle accent of half reproach, scarce perceptible to a male ear. "Oh, yes," and Julia rose and tripped to the door. There she stood a moment, half turned, with arching neck, colouring with innocent pleasure. "Come, darling. Oh, you good-for- nothing thing."
A Socialist that's what he was, one of those good-for- nothings who take the bread out of poor people's mouths by dinning a lot of nonsense into their ears, just like a mean dog who snaps at the hand that feeds him.
I've raised you from a kid, and, by the great mogul! you can't sneak off with the first good-for nothing scoundrel that makes eyes at you. Thought you had slipped away from me, you white-faced, sniveling little idiot, but I'll show you who is master."
" No-she's too fine and too good-for him or anybody like him-she's too fine and too good-" " Aw, rats," interrupted Nora, furiously. "You make me tired." Coke had a wooden-headed conviction that he must make Nora understand Marjory's infinite superiority to all others of her sex, and so he passed into a pariegyric, each word of which was a hot coal to the girl addressed.
'What a sell it would have been for me to find you chummy with a stupid, poetry-writing, good-for- nothing girl like that, instead of my jolly old Mice! And at that minute all Dolly's slights were fully compensated for! There was a lurking purpose in the boys' minds that if Dolores would not join in fun, yet still fun should be extracted from her.
"You must do something anything or you'll become a good-for- nothing. I've seen so many of our sort go to the dogs; we haven't enough power of resistance!" "It's all the same to me what becomes of me!" replied Pelle drowsily. "I'm sick of the whole thing!" It was Sunday, and Pelle felt a longing for something unaccustomed.
