Peter was "tall and freckled and sandy, face of a country lout", and, like Middleton's rouse-about, "hadn't any opinions, hadn't any ideas", but possessed sufficient instinct and common bushcraft with which, by hard slogging, to amass money.
Perhaps, though, she had turned in the doorway, where I could not see her, to throw the lout a kiss so I thought within me, jealously. "You have convoyed your gossip Katrin home in safety, I trust," said I, sweetly, as she came in. "Yes," said she; "but I fear she has left her heart behind her. So wondrously rapid a courtship never did I see!"
Let all the creation of God wonder at this wonderful condescending love of God, that appointed such a way; and of Christ, that was content to lout so low as to become this way to us, this new and living way; and that for this end he should have taken on flesh, and become Emmanuel, God with us, and tabernacled with us, that through this vail of his flesh, he might consecrate a way to us.
Only the aged woman showed a flash of unexpected fire as she demanded, "Didn't ye git nary one of them?" "We got Rat-Ankle," drawled an unshaven lout with a revolting note of placid satisfaction. "That's better'n not gettin' nary one," commended the old woman. Her voice revealed the hereditary source of Marcus' ability for sincere hating.
He has had all the chances; I've had none. With my father when he was alive, with my mother, it has always been Austin this and Austin that. He was the head of the school when I, the elder, was a lout in the lower fourth. He had a brilliant University career and went into the world and is making a fortune. I'm only able to ride and shoot and do country things.
'Silly lout, said the woman, crossly, and, taking up the package, which was not very large, she went with it to the studio, reflecting as she went that by the feel of it it was an unframed picture, and that if some one would only take away some of the beastly, dusty things that were already in the house that wouldn't, so the bailiffs said, fetch a halfpenny it would be better worth while than bringing new ones where they weren't wanted.
She had wished to be cool, even casual, but she was beginning to be afraid. Why, she could not have said. Certainly she did not anticipate violence on Tom's part. Perhaps that was it. Perhaps it was just because he was so quiet that she was afraid. She had always looked on him contemptuously as an amiable, transparent lout, and now he was puzzling her.
It had all made it less dreadful to him to find that he was another man's son; and if, after the great shock and agitation of the previous evening, he had not suffered the reaction of rage, indignation, and rebellion which Mme. Roland had feared, it was because he had long been unconsciously chafing under the sense of being the child of this well-meaning lout.
A puzzled expression entered the fellow's eyes. He was a young man a stupid-looking lout. It was evident that he half recognized the face of the newcomer as one he had seen before. Barney nodded to him. "Never mind finishing," he said. "I am in a hurry. You may saddle him at once." The voice was authoritative it brooked no demur.
The slovenly lout whom you shrink from approaching against the wind is one of the most independent and self-satisfied fellows on earth, as quick to resent alms as to return a blow. And it is wonderful what soap and clean clothes will do!
