"Fool, or not," said Gus, becoming more angry every moment as he thought of his wrongs, "I'm not an underbred loafer who cleans a fellow out of his cash and then rounds on him because he can't pay his way. Why, a Whitechapel guttersnipe " "Can't appreciate the allusion," said Jim; "I've never been to Whitechapel. But anyhow, Todd, there's the door. I think you had really better go."
John and his friends have got passes till twelve o'clock to-night, and, saving a few of our own village folk, the lowest visitor present is a very genteel German corporal. If you should hae any misgivings on the score of respectability, ma'am, we'll pack off the underbred ones into the back kitchen. Widow Garland and Anne looked yes at each other after this appeal.
There was such a feeling of degradation about debt. It was, somehow, so underbred to owe money to all sorts of people. Was it on that girl, on other women, that he spent it all? Or was it simply that his nature had holes in every pocket?
With the embarrassment of an underbred man, Miguel tried to appear unconcerned, but failed dismally. Indeed, I fear that the black eyes of Carmen had already done their perfect and accepted work, and had partly induced the application for Victor's aid. He, however, dissembled so far as to ask: "But will she not know?" "She is a child." "But will she not talk?"
Then the door opened this gentleman must have opened it and before I could protect him, that underbred man in the high hat you remember ," Gerald remembered. "Hit him on the head, and he fell where you see him. The others dispersed, and I myself was just going for assistance when I saw you." Here Jimmy was discovered to be in tears and Kathleen white as any drawing-paper.
"I'm afraid some of the fellows were rather rude," continued Doubleday. "Those Twins are awfully underbred beggars. I believe, you know, their mother never knew which of the two it was that wanted whopping, and so she let them both grow up anyhow. If I'd been her, I'd have licked them both regularly, wouldn't you, Crow?"
Crosse, the vicar of Mycening, a very "good man in the pulpit," as the servants said, and active in the parish, but underbred and no companion. Our neighbourhood was what is called very clannish. There were two families, the Horsmans and the Stympsons, who seemed to make up all the society.
A beautiful woman cannot help having objectionable lovers any more than a king can help a cat looking at him. This man a most well-meaning, good-hearted, useful little underbred person, typical of so large a class in the Colonial Church was Deb's pet aversion, and did not know it. He was not made to see his own deficiencies as she saw them.
To be without powder, as some underbred people were talking of being now, was in fact to insult the proprieties of life, by being undressed. It was English sans-culottism. But Mr. Gray did wear a little powder, enough to save him in my lady's good opinion; but not enough to make her approve of him decidedly. The next time I saw him was in the great hall.
Grey, not quite liking the flippant manner, the showy style of dress, and the air, at once subservient and forward; in truth, something which, despite her prettiness, stamped the governess as underbred, exactly what Aunt Henrietta had said "not a lady." "Your qualifications for teaching I have no wish to investigate; what I have to speak about is a totally different thing."
