The system which provides him for the people provides them the best administration in the world, always naturally in the hands of their superiors, social and political; but we could be several times rottener than we administratively are, and still be incalculably reasonabler, as republicans, than those well-governed monarchists.
Night after night I crossed the dreary mud flat, passed the same old wretched farms, and went on with the same old trench routine. We all considered the trenches a pretty rotten outfit; but every one was fully prepared to accept far rottener things than that. There was never the least sign of flagging determination in any man there, and I am sure you could say the same of the whole front.
Then to the head-carver he said: "What you had best do is to serve me with what they call ollas podridas and the rottener they are the better they smell!" The others he addressed proverbially thus: "But let nobody play pranks on me, for either we are or we are not. Let us live and eat in peace and good fellowship, for when God sends the dawn, he sends it for all.
"He's rotten," murmured the manager, now busy on the margin of another paper. "But I dunno as he's any rottener than the rest." "On behalf of the profession of journalism, we thank you, Bezdek," said one of the critics. "Don't mind old Bez," put in the elderly first-nighter. "He always says what he thinks he means, but he usually doesn't mean it."
Treat those workmen a sight too well. No, sink or swim, Crest Hill goes on until we're under water." I began to ask questions and irritated him instantly.

"If he thinks he's punishing me he's sold," said Gwenda. "He couldn't have stuck you in a rottener hole." Gwenda raised her head. "A hole? Why, there's no end to it.
It’s working in the dark, of course. I’m feeling rottener every day." He rested his handsome head on one thin hand: "I don’t want to die, Gray, but I don’t know how to keep alive. It’s odd, isn’t it?

'It may all be true, lies and stink and all, he said. 'But Hermione's spiritual intimacy is no rottener than your emotional-jealous intimacy. One can preserve the decencies, even to one's enemies: for one's own sake.
Nobody could forget you, handsome. Never no more, never. What do you say to another shot of hootch? The stuff's getting rottener and rottener, don't you think? Come on, swallow. Here's how.
