"Joseph Antony was telling me," he said, "that they're terrible fierce, worser than any rats ever he seen." The Tortoise slipped along and was soon beyond the reach of his voice. She passed the heavy hookers at the quay side, left buoy after buoy behind her, bobbed cheerfully through a tide race at the stone perch, and stood out, the wind right behind her, for Rossmore Head.
The boy gulped the milk and swore joyously, gripping the cup with shaking fingers. "Hush!" cried Elnora. "That's dreadful!" "What's dreadful?" "To say such awful words." "Huh! pa says worser 'an that every breath he draws." Elnora saw that the child was older than she had thought. He might have been forty judging by his hard, unchildish expression. "Do you want to be like your father?"
But with the scholars who slight fiction, the critics who play with it, the general reader who likes it contemptuously, and the social enthusiast who neglects its better for its worser part, the issue is direct. All are the victims of hereditary opinion; but some should know better than to be thus beguiled.
Cecilia felt ashamed of herself as she thought of this, in that she had admitted the friendship of such a friend. "A breath of summer wind!" she said, repeating with scorn her friend's somewhat high-flown words. "I cannot but say that, like Martha, you have chosen the worser part," continued the letter.
"It's getting worser and worser every day and hour," said the Girl. "I don't understand it at all. I wouldn't try to live without you. I don't want you to leave my sight.

And as they seemed genu-winely anxious to believe anything at all, and the worser the thing the believinger they'd grow, why I well, there's times when I have got to lie to keep in good health. "So I fooled and I fooled.
"Isabel, there is worser behind." "There is more behind, Custance," said Isabel coolly. "Speak, and quickly!" "Well, mayhap better so. Wit thou then, fair Cousin, that thy wedding with my Lord of Kent is found not good, sith " "Not good!" Constance said, or rather shrieked. "God in Heaven have mercy! not good!"
Oh, blackee more worser clan me, Gabriel Pegtop Oh, Lard! ha! ha! ha!"
And a general laugh went up over this extravagant statement. "The same old Spud!" cried Sam, as he gave the story-teller of the college a nudge in the ribs. "Spud, you are about as bad as Tom." "Chust vat I tinks," came from Max Spangler, a German-American student who was still struggling with the difficulties of the language. "Only I tinks bod of dem vas worser dan de udder."
How had the royalty of the man's nature fallen thus? Royalty rarely falls from its own constitutional faults. It falls when, ceasing to be royal, it becomes subservient to bad advisers. And what bad advisers, always appealing to his better qualities and so enlisting his worser, had discrowned this mechanic? "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing," says the old-fashioned poet.
