"Your bally tea shop running down, what! Louts for waiters, cloddish louts! Disgraceful, my word! Slow beggars! Take a year to do you a rasher and a bit of toast, what!" To this absurd tirade I replied not a word, but stood silently regarding him. I dare say my gaze was of the most chilling character and steady. He endured it but a moment.
He is simply one lout, and why should he have it all? My God, what fools, what louts, are these Englishmen!" in having read Sophie's thoughts so far, we will leave her to walk up the remainder of the arcade by herself. I do not know that Harry's visit to Truefit's establishment had been in any degree caused by his engagement for the evening.
But now we are settled in England, I have a wish to study English society. 'Disappointing, I assure you; dinners heavy, dancing boorish, intrigue a blind-man's-buff. We've been over it all before ! 'We have. 'Admired, I dare say. You won't be understood. 'I like my countrymen. 'The women have good looks of the ungarnished kind. The men are louts. 'They are brave.
"It seems so dreadful that you should have to knock people about," said Jessie. "These louts get unbearable," said Mr. Hoopdriver. "If now and then we didn't give them a lesson, well, a lady cyclist in the roads would be an impossibility." "I suppose every woman shrinks from violence," said Jessie. "I suppose men ARE braver in a way than women.
Clare took his own characteristically opposite view. "These London men," said the philosopher, "are not to be tri fled with by louts. They ha ve got Frank by the scruff of the neck he can't wriggle himself free and he makes a merit of yielding to sheer necessity." The three months' interval of Frank's probation in London passed less cheerfully than usual in the household at Combe-Raven.
I'm goin' to build that wagon road through here that those lazy louts slipped up on, and carry it clear over to Five Mile Corner, and open up the whole Tasajara Plain!" They had never seen him look so strong, so resolute, so intelligent and handsome. A dimly prophetic vision of him in a black broadcloth suit and gold watch-chain addressing a vague multitude, as she remembered to have seen the Hon.
The louts he meets at church never had a fancy above Audrey's snood; but there is a reminiscence in Endymion's heart that, like a spice, keeps it fresh and haughty. To be even one of the outskirters of art, leaves a fine stamp on a man's countenance. I remember once dining with a party in the inn at Chateau Landon.
When the noisy shouts and cheers from half a dozen hoarse throats had died down, Bibot, without more ado, turned to his own men at the gate. "Drive these drunken louts away!" he commanded; "no one is allowed to loiter here." Loud protest on the part of the hilarious crowd followed, then a slight scuffle with the bayonets of the Town Guard.
It was only a little school, and the story of the new boy's "break" with old Jaegers had reached even the big louts who lingered on in Form VI. They made a rough half-circle round their intended victim, only partially malevolent in their intentions.
It was said that seventy or a hundred years ago some louts had caught girls bathing in the stream and violated them. The legend declared that one of the offenders was executed and the rest were sent to prison for life.
