He was rather a deplorable thing in rotters, and quite hopelessly top-hole in the way of getting through money, but he had been more or less decent to the old lady in her unremembered days, and she wouldn't hear anything against him.

If they are reconciled to the er the situation, why the devil should we give a hang? And, above all, don't let these Rodneys suspect." Here he lowered his voice gradually. "They're a pack of rotters and they couldn't understand. They'd cut her, even if she is a cousin or whatever it is. I've give a year or two of my life to know positively whether Rodney intends taking those shares or not."
"The idiots!" he shouted, while they surrounded him and searched him at the door of the office. "The rotters! The bunglers! To go mucking up a job like that! They can lay hands on the villain if they want to, and they lock up the honest man while the villain makes himself scarce! And he'll do more murder yet! Florence! Florence ..."
There's a glory in being chosen to bear your country's wounds." "Your beautiful eyes! Your blue, beautiful eyes! O God, what does it all mean? Living! Dying! All the rotters, all the rat-eyed ones I know, scot-free and Gerald chosen. God! God! where are you?" "He was never so close to me as now, Hester. And with you here, dear, He is closer than ever."
Since this battle of the Somme our casualties have been frightful, and every day means so many of our real men killed, and so many more shirkers and rotters in proportion to carry on the life of England. We've had our women's revolution all right. There are not many of the old barriers left; but what a mess we have made of our freedom!
"Why, Sahib, you have three hundred thousand rupees in your pocket." "But not worth an anna until I get to Rangoon. Didn't those duffers give you anything for handling their luggage the other day?" "Not a pice, Sahib." "Rotters! It takes an Englishman to turn a small trick like that. Well, well; there were extenuating circumstances. They had sore heads.
"What's the matter with us?" said Alice, and she laid her hand upon Evelyn's. "Oh, you little rotters!" exclaimed the earl, whom they sometimes teased to the point of agony. "No man in his senses would look at you." "Right-O!" said young Stephen Ballin, who made the eighth at table. "They're like germs," he explained to Forrest "very troublesome to deal with."
"Have a cigar," and he passed a well-filled case to his companion. The American was beginning to take the silent one's measure. He bit off the end of a cigar and lit it. "What's at the back of your head?" he asked coolly. The other looked towards the Chileans. "Those chaps are rotters," he said. "You think they will cut up rough? What can they do? We must all sink or swim together."
"Why, what do you want to fool about with village politics for? No. The letter is meant for me right enough." "I can't understand it," said Dick. Lord Banstead looked up from his paper. "That the Rural District Council? I'm on the committee. Had a meeting yesterday. I'm chairman of the silly rotters."
Silly ignorant Goslings in the middle saying to Brahmins, 'And you are Muscleman, aren't you, or are you a Dhobi? and to Parsis, 'I suppose you High Caste gentlemen have to bathe every day? shoving their awful ignorance under the noses of everybody, and inquiring after the healths of the 'chief wives'. Silly fatuous geese! and then talking the wildest piffle about the 'burning question of the hour' and making the seditious rotters groan at their ineptitude and folly, until they cheer them up sudden-like with a bit of dam' treason and sedition they ought to be jailed for.
