This youth is one of great Nature's tom-fools: an elegant young gentleman outwardly, of the very large class who are simply the engines of their appetites, and, to the philosophic eye, still run wild in woods, as did the primitive nobleman that made a noise in the earlier world.
'Gasping, staggering, stuttering, stammering tom-fools, interposed Bell. 'That's what Carlyle called ONE Lamb, dear Mr. "Roast Pig" Charles; and a mean old thing he was, too, for doing it. 'Well, it is just strong enough to apply to the actual lamb; not the lamb of romance, but the lamb of reality. You can't get him anywhere; he doesn't know enough.
It's the public it's yourselves. You're the most craven lot of tom-fools that ever a big football club had to do with. When we lose a match, what do you do? Do you come and encourage us next time? No, you stop away, and leave us fifty or sixty pound out of pocket on a match, just to teach us better! Do you expect us to win every match?

One of their young men visited us at Geneva during the summer. I never quite made out who invited him; I have half an idea that he invited himself. He was a great trial. Queer about the English, isn't it? How can people who are so clever and capable in practical things ever be such insolent tom-fools in social things? Do you know Arthur Paston?" "No. Was he one of them? "Not exactly.
"The deuce! a Marquis! they said he that is, they said you " "What the devil do you mean?" roared out Rawdon; "do you mean that you ever heard a fellow doubt about my wife and didn't tell me, Mac?" "The world's very censorious, old boy," the other replied. "What the deuce was the good of my telling you what any tom-fools talked about?"
No, nor that wasn't the worst: for, as his Lordship's trap drove up, the two tom-fools stopped their boxin' to stand 'pon their toes and blow kisses at him! "I must say that Battershall showed great presence o' mind.
"I call you my pretty lad is there any offence in that, my boy?" "No; but were you with my grandam and Dominie Holiday, you might sing chorus to the old song of 'We three Tom-fools be." "And why so, my little man?" said Tressilian. "Because," answered the ugly urchin, "you are the only three ever called me pretty lad.
