This scoundrel's plausibility was such, that he had continued to act the spy and traitor in the family, without exciting suspicion in the mind of any one, with the exception only of Jerry Joyce, who being himself involved in Whiteboyism, was placed in a position of great difficulty and danger.
You should have seen how frightened your man Ali was. Clapped his hands over her mouth. I think you spoil her, Almayer. But I am not angry. Really, you look so ridiculous in this chair that I can't feel angry. I made a frantic effort to burst out of my hammock to get at that scoundrel's throat, but I only fell off and upset the chair over myself.
I'll just see what the scoundrel's up to, and if he's after anything very houtragis, I'll maybe take the liberty of smashin' his skull with this here maul, and droppin' him over the starn to the sharks, where many a better man than he went this a'ternoon. Lucky for him that it's you, sir, as the Irishman says.
Wakem has got a mortgage or something on the land, Tom," said Maggie, on their way home from King's Lorton. "It was the letter with that news in it that made father ill, they think." "I believe that scoundrel's been planning all along to ruin my father," said Tom, leaping from the vaguest impressions to a definite conclusion. "I'll make him feel for it when I'm a man.
"Phil Evans," said Uncle Prudent, "I think there can be no mistake as to this scoundrel's intention with regard to us." "None," said Phil Evans. "He will only give us our liberty when it suits him, and perhaps not at all." "In that case we must do all we can to get away from the 'Albatross'." "A splendid craft, she is, I must admit."
"A pretty come-down! . . . Why, he is a finished scoundrel." "Go and see," said Fraisier, "and I will put your scoundrel's will back again in the envelope." While Mme. Cibot's back was turned, Fraisier nimbly slipped a sheet of blank paper into the envelope; the will he put in his pocket. He next proceeded to seal the envelope again so cleverly that he showed the seal to Mme.
"How do you imagine he got here nearly as soon as we did, when he did not start until later?" asked Mr. Damon. "He did not have the unfortunate experience of being deserted in the jungle," replied Tom. "He probably had Jacinto, or some of that unprincipled scoundrel's friends, show him a short route to Copan and he came on from there."
But Conyngham, who is all eagerness, must needs refuse to listen to any argument, and starts this afternoon for Toledo alone. He has not even his servant Concepcion Vara, who has suddenly disappeared, and a woman who claims to be the scoundrel's wife from Algeciras has been making inquiries at Conyngham's lodging. A hen's eyes are where her eggs lie.
"It'll be in Lunnon now, most like." His one eye moved about in such a very shifty way as he spoke that she was convinced that he was telling a lie. She could not be sufficiently thankful that she had something else to rely upon besides the old scoundrel's assurances. There was nothing to be seen down the lane except a single cart with a loutish young man walking at the horse's head.
"Sir Pitt Crawley is dead, my lord. We have been tearing our hair all the morning, and now we are tearing up our old clothes." "Oh, Rebecca, how can you " was all that Briggs could say as she turned up her eyes. "Oh, Rebecca, how can you " echoed my Lord. "So that old scoundrel's dead, is he?
