"Young Lambert is a bookworm, your Honor," suggested Pyot, who was keen on the business, seeing that his zeal, if accompanied by success, would surely mean promotion; "there'll be ink and paper in the cottage.... An your Honor would but write a few words and sign them, something I could show to a commanding officer, if perchance I needed the help of soldiery, or to the chief constable resident at Dover, for methinks some of us must push on that way ... your Honor must forgive ... we should be blamed punished, mayhap if we allowed such a scoundrel to remain unhung...."
'You're the d dest scoundrel that ever went unhung, replied the boy, looking up in his father's face and smiling. The roar of laughter that followed his answer was perfectly deafening, and was heartily joined in by the Dead Man himself, who had taught the child the very words and those words were true as gospel. The Dead Man knew he was a villain, and gloried in the title.
They're blind, because the rogue is for ever showing off his sham good qualities till they shine better than an ordinary decent man's may. To my eyes, if not quite to my knowledge, this man is as great a scoundrel as was ever left unhung.
The housemaid's hand had failed to give a look of order to the jumble of heterogeneous objects left on the dressing-table and the mantel-shelf pipes, pen-knives, pencils, keys, golf-balls, old letters, photographs, small boxes, tins and bottles. Two fine etchings and some water-color sketches hung on the walls; leaning against the end of the wardrobe, unhung, were a few framed engravings.

What if she proved to be all she seemed? Could he, even though what he had warned her he might be, the greatest rogue unhung, be false to a trust reposed in him by such a woman?
If there was a tragedy in the offing it would not fall less heavily because one approached it with melancholy countenance. Heaven knew that she was no infant as regarded men! In the six years of hospital work she had come into contact with all sorts and conditions of men. Cunningham might be the greatest scoundrel unhung, but so far as she was concerned she need have no fear.
"There, old fellow," said he; "swallow that, and if you don't get some sleep the chemist who made it up is the greatest liar unhung." "What is it? I asked, the glass in my hand, and my eyes on those of my companion. "I don't know," said he. "I just told them to make up the strongest sleeping-draught that was safe, and I mentioned something about your case.
I did exactly as the fellow wanted, much to the astonishment of the passengers, who said that I must either be the biggest-hearted man in the country, or the biggest fool that ever ran unhung, to give a man back that much money after fairly winning it.
"Very like," said Will, "I would dare be sworn to nothing concerning him, but that he is one of the greatest and most useful villains unhung." So saying, Will Cavendish disappeared with the letters.
And yet others, who swam in the creek and sported on the play-ground with all of these, whose vicious propensities were apparent then whose after lives were as their boyhood promised, a curse to society in evil deeds and evil example have gone, too, unwept, unhonored, and luckily unhung.
