When it was half gone, he suddenly swore and flung it overboard. "Larpent," he said, breaking a silence, "if you were a damned rotter like me what should you do with yourself?" Larpent turned his head and quietly surveyed him. "I shouldn't run a home for waifs and strays," he said deliberately. Saltash made a sharp movement.
I took the rotter on because he's rich and will be richer when his father dies; he married me because he was rotten and I had the worst reputation he could discover. So we're quits there. If our marriage comes out prematurely, he'll be disinherited; so we've agreed to a sub-rosa arrangement which leaves him, ostensibly, a marketable bachelor.
"I knew I was a rotter," said Barbara, "but I didn't know it was obvious to everybody." "To eyes," said West gently, "in a certain condition lots of things are obvious that other people wouldn't see. May I still say things?" "Don't spare me." "You love to attract men. And if you happen to hurt them, you think you are a rotter. That isn't true. You're being pulled two ways.
He trotted off to Margaret and said, "She-comrade, I met this day a friend of thine." "Thou didst look into the Rotter then, and see thyself." "Nay, 'twas a female, and one that seeks thy regard; 'twas Catherine, Gerard's mother." "Oh, was it?" said Margaret; "then you may tell her she comes too late.
Was it any one we knows?" "You remember Bauer?" "That rotter what was found guilty of spyin' for the enemy? Yes, I knew the blighter, the traitor?" "Well, he's dead. When his plane fell on fire, I had to drop down in a shell-hole back yonder. Bauer and his pilot had fallen near there just before. He was cussing us all out, Boche fashion.
"I do think," he said carefully, "I do think you had better go. The fact that I have tried to make you stay simply proves the particular type of rotter that I am. Good-by I'll never forget that you came back." "I am not going," said Daphne sternly. "Not if you beg me. Not if you are a devil out of hell. Because you need me.
She turned swiftly, looking up into the derisive face above her with open adoration in her own. "You!" she said. "You!" "Well, what about me?" he said. She coloured very deeply. "Nothing, sir, nothing! Only you're so great!" He flicked her cheek, grimacing hideously. "Is that your pretty way of telling me I'm the biggest rotter you ever met?" "Oh, no!" said Toby quickly and earnestly. "Oh no!
"Oh, J-Jimmy I do love you." The words sounded somehow infinitely pathetic. Jimmy bit his lip hard. His arm fell from about her waist. "I I'm not half good enough for you," he stammered. He really meant that. He felt himself a perfect rotter beside her innocent whole-hearted surrender. Christine was looking at him with tearful eyes, though her lips smiled tremulously.
I'm not a fit man to teach Buddy what he ought to know. In fact, I'm about the worst person you could select." "How so?" "Because I'm a good deal of a rotter. I couldn't permit Buddy to make a mess of his life, such as I've made of mine." The father sighed. "I s'pose you know, but Well, I'm disapp'inted. But it wasn't hully on that account I come to Dallas.
They don't tramp about like this otherwise. For all that, he's rather a decent sort; no bounder like that rotter we left at Mandalay. He never talks about himself. I fancy he's lonesome again." "Lonesome?" "It's the way, you know. These poor beggars drop aboard for the night, merely to see a white woman again, to hear decent English, to dress and dine like a human being.
