We kin foller, and trust to some chance o' bein' able to git 'em out o' the clutches o' the scoundrels." Swayed by his comrade's counsel, somewhat tranquillised by it, Hamersley resigns himself to stay as they are. Calmer reflection convinces him there is no help for it. The alternative, for an instant entertained, would be to rush recklessly on death, going into its very jaws.
For the gloomy head waiter re-entered and leaned over the back of Mr. Fyshe's chair and whispered to him. "Eh? what?" said Mr. Fyshe. The head waiter, his features stricken with inward agony, whispered again. "The infernal, damn scoundrels!" said Mr. Fyshe, starting back in his chair. "On strike: in this club! It's an outrage!" "I'm very sorry sir. I didn't like to tell you, sir.
I thought he was serving his time in jail. I hadn't been following the ins and outs and I wasn't aware he had got appeals and things and was still at large." "Yes," said the satisfied one, "that's the trouble with this country. Too lenient toward these scoundrels. As if they were entitled to " "Justice," murmured the newspaper man. "Quite so. Our enemies are not entitled to justice.
Nor, though it matters immensely to society what ideals people have, and that they have the right ones, to the people themselves it matters only that they have ideals, right or wrong. Where there is honour among thieves, a thief may have a fine sense of self-respect." "Plato agrees with you," said I. "He points out that if thieves were utter scoundrels they could not act in concert."
The words were almost inaudible, and then the body stiffened with a little convulsive tremor, and Henri Theriere, Count de Cadenet, passed over into the keeping of his noble ancestors. "He's gone!" whispered the girl, dry-eyed but suffering. She had not loved this man, she realized, but she had learned to think of him as her one true friend in their little world of scoundrels and murderers.
Then you laugh at my good father's retreat from Falkirk, just as if it were not time for a man to trudge when three or four mountain knaves, with naked claymores, and heels as light as their fingers, were scampering after him, crying FURINISH. You remember what he said himself when the Laird of Bucklivat told him that FURINISH signified 'stay a while'. 'What the devil, he said, surprised out of his Presbyterian correctness by the unreasonableness of such a request under the circumstances, 'would the scoundrels have had me stop to have my head cut off?
"There are no longer here either Wolves or Devourers," said one of the most determined Wolves to Olivier, with whom he had been fighting roughly and fairly; "there are none here but honest workmen, who must unite to drive out a set of scoundrels, that have come only to break and pillage." "Yes," added another; "it was against our will that they began by breaking your windows."
"For those words you will answer before God," Artyom said hoarsely from the stove. "I have no money." "I dare say! Scoundrels always have money. . . . Why are you afraid of people, then? So you must have! I'd like to take and rob you for spite, to teach you a lesson! . . ." Artyom slipped noiselessly from the stove, lighted a candle, and sat down under the holy image.
Spain and the Spanish American Republics produce great numbers of these people, just as Missouri breeds border-ruffians and sympathizers. But the ruffian is a good fellow in comparison with these well-dressed, polite scoundrels, who could have given Fielding a hint or two he would have been glad of for the characters of Mr. Jonathan Wild and his friend the Count.
"And suppose those scoundrels return, sir, what then?" cried Mr Brymer. Bob Hampton scratched his head. "Ah, you may well say what then, sir," he grumbled. "I hadn't thought o' that. Don't think they will come, do you?" "It is possible. They left in a scare, but if they see the ship still floating they may come back."
