"She's a precious sight too good for you, you old rotter. You bear that fact steadily in mind, and we'll make something of you yet." At this point Mrs. Ukridge joined us. She had been exploring the house, and noting the damage done. Her eyes were open to their fullest extent. "Oh, Mr. Garnet, couldn't you have stopped them?" I felt a worm. Had I done as much as I might have done to stem the tide?
'Just this. I had a couple of quid on Allen, and the rotter goes and gets licked. 'Good Lord. Whom did you bet with? 'With Allen himself. 'Mean to say Allen was crock enough to bet against himself? He must have known he was miles better than anyone else in. He's got three medals there already. 'No, you see his bet with me was only a hedge.
"I remember, the first time I saw him I admired him awfully," said Philip. "I thought he was wonderful. It is sickening that vulgar, middle-class virtue should pay." "Of course he was a rotter. He was bound to end in the gutter sooner or later," said Lawson. Philip was hurt because Lawson would not see the pity of it.
Dozens of fellows, who have only met Bobbie since the change took place, have been surprised when I told them that. Yet it's true. Believe me. In the days when I first knew him Bobbie Cardew was about the most pronounced young rotter inside the four-mile radius. People have called me a silly ass, but I was never in the same class with Bobbie.
"Oh, was your mother a rotter?" said Toby, with sudden interest. He nodded. "We don't talk about her much, Maud and I. She married a second time a brute of a man who used to run the Anchor Hotel. They went to Canada, and she died." "The Anchor Hotel!" said Toby. "That place at Fairharbour down by the shore?" "Yes, Maud and I were there too at first.
"Long ago I have seen her, and I knew you at once, so like you are and to your uncles, especially the Lord Hubert." "Uncle Hubert is a rotter!" "A rotter?" inquired the lady. "And what is that?" And she smiled a divine smile. Paul felt ashamed. "Oh! well, it is a rotter, you know that is like Uncle Hubert, I mean." She laughed again. "You do not explain well, but I understand you.
He became the subject of frequent and often heated discussions, the opinion most generally held, and stated with a fine simplicity, being that he would prove to be "a rotter." "India," John said, "had the effect of making people effemeral." "Effeminate, ass!" corrected Richard, shortly. "Anyhow," said a Twin, charitably, "we can knock that out of him!"
That elderly minister with an epic from whom you were hiding in a back room, he believed in himself. If you consulted your business experience instead of your ugly individualistic philosophy, you would know that believing in himself is one of the commonest signs of a rotter. Actors who can't act believe in themselves; and debtors who won't pay.
She glanced away, lowering her eyelids, so that her long lashes swept the warm olive cheeks, and with a little callous shrug answered: "Why should you be a rotter for doing what all the rest of the world does? Four-fifths of mankind would give anything for your chances." "But you just said you were sorry for me?" "So I am.
"Everybody goes on at me," said Flamby tremulously. "I haven't done any harm." "Who has been 'going on' at you, little Flamby?" "You have, and Chauvin, and everybody." "But what have they said? What have I said?" "That I am no good an absolute rotter!" "Flamby! Who has said such a thing? Not Chauvin, I'll swear, and not I. You are wilfully misjudging your real friends, little girl.
