His fear had stood between them. But she had gone on loving him, steadfastly, because nothing else was possible to her. "Francey do you remember that time we fought one another over an idiotic stick? I was such a young rotter I wouldn't own up that you were stronger than I was." She took his wet hands and kissed them.
They looked at each other curiously, and Lisle, struggling to command himself, noticed the lad's strained expression. "Why?" he asked with significant shortness. Crestwick seemed on the verge of some vehement outbreak and Lisle saw that it was with an effort he refrained. "Oh, well," he answered, "the man's not half good enough. He's a dangerous rotter." "Dangerous?"
"Look here." There was a ring of strength in Vernon's tones. "I appreciate, no end, what you've offered to do, Willa, but it can't be! I'm pretty low, I'll admit, but I'm not such a rotter as to take that kind of help from a girl!" "Why not?" Willa asked quickly. "You said yourself this afternoon that I was one of the family, and, besides, you can pay me back, you know."
I quite agree these things are all very disturbing and painful, but it's as well to do them thoroughly when one's once in for them. Is there nobody else who might interfere with our gambols?" "Barnes might," said Jellicoe, "only he won't." "Who is Barnes?" "Head of the house a rotter. He's in a funk of Stone and Robinson; they rag him; he'll simply sit tight."
We talked the matter over carefully, and knowing you as we both did, we reached the conclusion that you were innocent and that Ainley was the guilty man." "Any evidence?" "No, nothing beyond that matter of the bill. We judged by general principles. Ainley always was something of a rotter, you know." Stane laughed a trifle bitterly. "He's by way of becoming a personage of importance today.
"I hardly ever think. I'm in the army, don't you know, and don't have to. What's the use of doing somebody else's work?" "Rotter!" thought the P.W.D. man, almost aloud; but King was not troubled by any further forced conversation. Consequently he reached Peshawur comfortable, in spite of the heat.
"Thirty kilometres to breakfast," murmured Peter. "And I don't know that I want any, even then. Wrong?... Oh ... well, I suppose it's heart. I have one, you know, of a sort. A nuisance, it's always been. Not dangerous, but just in the way. I'm sorry, Rodney I really am." Rodney said again, "You absolute rotter. Why didn't you tell me? What in the name of anything induced you to walk at all?
He was conscious of relief when the steady eyes ceased to scrutinize him. "Not by you, I think," Mordaunt said, with his quiet smile. "You may be a rotter, my boy, but you are not one of the crooked sort." "I've never robbed anyone, if that's what you mean." Rupert's laugh had in it a note of bitterness that was unconsciously pathetic. "But I'm up to the eyes in debt and pretty desperate.
They think that if a man is too big a rotter to do anything at all in England, they've only got to send him out here and he'll make a fortune." "He may improve." "I hope so. Look here, Nora, you've thoroughly upset Gertie." "She's very easily upset, isn't she?" "It's only since you came that things haven't gone right. We never used to have scenes." "So you blame me.
Some part of his unaccountable irritation took wings with the cloud of smoke. "Blessed if I can tell why I should worry," he communed.
