Philip listened complacently to the abuse of a man who had gone out of his way to be kind to him, but when Weeks in his turn made disagreeable remarks about Hayward he lost his temper. "Your new friend looks like a poet," said Weeks, with a thin smile on his careworn, bitter mouth. "He is a poet." "Did he tell you so? In America we should call him a pretty fair specimen of a waster."
Then Archibald Enwright, a renegade and waster well known to us as serving other countries, came to England. My man and he met at Ye Old Gambrinus, in Regent Street. And finally, on a visit to the lodgings of this man who, I was now certain, was Von der Herts, under the mattress of his bed I found this knife."
"Say th' wor-r-d if he's no frind, an' he'll have out agin. I'll put him so. 'T would not be a refined thing to do, but nicissary if needed." "'S all right," said Bean. "Friend of mine." He closed the door on Cassidy. Inside, he found the waster interestedly poking with his stick at a roundish object on the floor. "Dog's been at it," explained the waster brightly. "What's the idea?
It is needless to go through the form of opening the school to-day; for, with the exception of Waster Lunny's girl, I have had no scholars for nine days.
He was mistaken; that was all, and the incident had no importance, for a few pounds more or less could not matter in the least to a gentleman of his income. Yet he felt guilty of being a waster. He could not accustom himself to the scale of expenditure. Barely in the old days could he have earned in a week the price of the repast consumed now in an hour.
She announced the other day she would rather have a dishonest purpose than no purpose at all." "It's the same idea, only Miss Pritchard lives up to her creed by being full of energy and purpose; whereas I can't be anything but a mediocre waster. I've neither the pluck to be wicked, not the energy to be good, nor enough purpose to regret it.
You're just what my father said you were a loafer who pretends to be an artist. You've got away with it up to now, but you've shown yourself up at last. You damned waster!" Kirk walked to the door and flung it open. "You're perfectly right, Bannister," he said quietly. "Everything you have said is quite true. And now would you mind going?" "I've not finished yet." "Yes, you have."
In the first place, to be an artist was, in the Archdeacon's mind, synonymous with being a loose liver and an atheist. Then this fellow was, as all the town knew, a drunkard, an idler, a dissolute waster who had brought nothing upon Polchester but disgrace. Had Brandon had his way he would, long ago, have had him publicly expelled and forbidden ever to return.
Poor, poor fellow! I think I'll be able to write a few lines about him myself after I've been ashore to see the agent, just as a bit of an epitaph. As to this spotty-faced waster who swapped names with him, I almost have it in me to wish we'd left him to be chopped by those sharks. He'd his money to his credit anyway and what's money compared with poetry?"
For as surely as work is health and strength and honor and happiness and life, so surely is idleness disease and weakness and shame and misery and death. The home builder, the waster, the gambler, the loyal citizen, the slacker, the honest and dishonest they were all there at the pay window of the Mill. And to each the pay envelope meant a different thing.
