Presently the strained look in the farm-wife's face relaxed, and she turned to her charge. "That's him," she cried, with a swift return to her angry, contemptuous manner. "It's him showin' off like all them scallawags. Come right in, missie," she added, holding out her hands to lead the girl home. But her kindly intention received an unexpected shock.
Even in him the seeds of communal morality will often be found deeply implanted. Time and again a regiment of scallawags, who have let all other morality go hang, have, when the proper chord has been made to vibrate in them, heard the call of communal morality, and done deeds which make the ears of whosoever heareth of them to tingle.
Then he told me that he didn't ever want Aunt Prissy to know about them bad boys' foolish joke 'cause he wanted to marry Aunt Prissy and didn't want her to find out that three young scallawags had to begin his co'ting for him." "Did he say all that to you, 'Liza honey, are you sure?" asked Mother Mayberry, beginning to beam with delight at the outcome of the horrible situation.
Ransford gave her no chance to finish what she had to say. "Wot did I tell you?" she cried, with a power of self-righteousness. "Wot did I tell you? You ain't got no right to git a hob-a-nobbin' with sech scum. They're all scallawags, every one of 'em. Men! say, these yer hills is the muck-hole o' creation, an' the men is the muck. I orter know.
"I finds th' young scallawags driftin' around th' sea, and bearin' no course whatever," explained Captain Higgles, "an' I picks un up as salvage. But I don't want un. My eyes! I don't want un. I don't want any such two scallawags as they about the Good an' Sure.
After her life has been made a hell by her association with a man of your reputation, you propose to whitewash it by a quarrel with a couple of drunken scallawags like Beeswinger and Wynyard, in the presence of three painted trollops and a d d scamp like myself! Do you suppose this won't be blown all over California before she can be sent back to school?
I haven't made up my mind where I will leave it but I'll have to, soon, for at eighty a body is living on borrowed time. Now, you can take your time about dressing, my dear, and I'll go down and keep them mean scallawags in order. That's a handsome child you have there. Is he your brother?"
Men is shockin' scallawags," she finished up, flinging the shoes pell-mell into the open trunk. A further rescue of her property was necessary and the girl protested. "Please don't bother any more with those clothes," she cried hurriedly. "I'll see to them myself."
The hall was packed to the door, and in all the front half there was the kind of audience I expected to see working-men of the political type who before the war would have thronged to party meetings. But not all the crowd at the back had come to listen. Some were scallawags, some looked like better-class clerks out for a spree, and there was a fair quantity of khaki.
And so it happened that Captain Higgles recognized Bobby and Jimmy, and they recognized him. "Oh," explained Bobby, "we were getting ice off a berg yesterday, when she shifted and turned us over and we lost our oars." "Yesterday, was it? And so you young scallawags ha' been cruisin' about since yesterday, eh, with nary an oar. Now listen t' that, b'ys! Cruisin' around with nary an oar! My eyes!
