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.
The fact is, he ratted from his own project. He found the thing not so ripe as he had expected. His heart failed him; his enthusiasm fled, and he made his retractation. His admiration is short-lived; his contempt only is rooted, and his resentment lasting. The above was only one instance of his building too much on practical data.
"Oh! my dear Lady Deloraine. Oh! my dear Lady St Julians!" and she shook her head. "You have no news, I suppose," said Lady St Julians. "Only about that dreadful Mr Trenchard; you know the reason why he ratted?" "No, indeed," said Lady St Julians with a sigh. "An invitation to Lansdowne House, for himself and his wife!" "Oh! he is married then?" "Yes; she is at the bottom of it all.
She was conscious of gross tergiversation, of having ratted shamefully; for that merry party in the afternoon, as they stood in the camp of Rockcliffe overlooking Commonstone, had, one and all, vowed to foot it merrily in the town-hall on Easter Monday, and agreed that for real lovers of dancing a country ball beat a London one all to pieces.
"So you lost your seat," she said. "I am very sorry. Tell me how it happened?" He shrugged his shoulders. "The Democratic Party made up their mind, for some reason or other, that I shouldn't sit. The Labour Party generally were not thinking of running a candidate. I was to have been returned unopposed, in acknowledgment of my work on the Nationalisation Bill. The Democrats, however, ratted.
He ratted from his Protestant faith; and according to the literal origin of that figure he ratted; for he abjured it as rats abjure a ship in which their instinct of divination has deciphered a destiny of ruin, and at the very moment when Popery wore the promise of a triumph that might, at any rate, have lasted his time.
Thinking that he has the "compact majority" at his back, he assumes the Burgomaster's insignia of office, and lords it over his incensed brother, only to learn, by blow on blow of disillusionment, that "the compact majority" has ratted, that he is to be deprived of his position and income, and that the commonest freedom of speech is to be denied him.
"I should have left you. You don't even know what's going on you haven't the faintest idea. If it were just humans, as you think...." She snuggled against him in the coldness of the little cave. "Shh. I got you into it. I I ratted on you, Scarface!" But he couldn't reply to her attempt at humor. There was no fear now not even the relief of fear.
But she does care about women getting votes, and insists on talking politics in the midst of lovely scenery. She looks so like her father, it is quite funny, and their voices are exactly alike, slow and correct and exaggeratedly English; and Scottish history bores them. They are proud of the ancestor who ratted from Prince Charlie and fought with Butcher Cumberland, so we have nothing in common.
I taxed Mr. Bridgar with it; also I ratted the salvages, who promis'd they would go neere him no more, & that I should feare nothing. Being desirous to make all things redy for my departure, I againe crossed over the dangerous river to goe burn Mr.
