Further, we know not from one day to another whether we may not be absolutely necessitated to excommunicate that fautor of Gallicanism, Louis the Fourteenth, and before launching our bolt at a king, we may think well to test its efficacy upon a rat. Fiat experimentum. And now to return to our rats, from which we have ratted. Is there indeed no hope?"
They saw he had ratted from courage, and joined love. Heretofore his life had been all winter, darkened by storm and hurricane. The fiercer virtues had played the devil with him; every word was thunder, every look lightning; but now all that had passed away; before, he was the Jortiter in re, at present he was the suaviter in modo. His existence was perfect spring beautifully vernal.
I incline to think that the rascal had ratted already, and was anxious to get all he could out of the Government by leading the Prince into a trap. Trap it would have been, as Culloden plainly showed. Against English regular soldiers, resolutely led, the Highlanders would work no more miracles. So for a space the chatter and laughter went on. Charles was already in St.
'I've not ratted, you know. I'm still an A.P. I shall come on the next tour of investigation, whenever that is. 'Shall you write for the Haste? I asked her. 'Sometimes, I expect. Oliver says he can get me some of the reviewing. And occasional non-controversial articles. But I don't want to be tied up with it; I want to write for other papers too....

Our sentiments are not represented in parliament or out of it. The 'County Mercury' has ratted, and be hanged to it! and now we have not one newspaper in the whole shire to express the sentiments of the respectable part of the community!" This speech was made on the occasion of one of the rare dinners given by Mr. and Mrs.
I wasn't clear last night, but Master Wheatman has decided me. I ride into London in Highland dress." "I applaud the decision of Your Royal Highness," said the foxy secretary. "It is a merited compliment to your brave clansmen." He afterwards ratted and so helped to hang some of the best of them. "Now for your dispatch to the Marquis," said Charles, going towards the secretary's papers.
And, therefore, rather than offend the Government, the honest men agreed to let Rauparaha "fight it out himself against the Government," and "ratted" to a man.

The Duke of Cumberland, on hearing of Castlereagh's appointment, said, 'Whoever ratted he would not, alluding to Lord Londonderry, who has been nibbling at the Cumberland faction.
