Several times Agnew interfered but finally Forrester sprang to his feet with an oath. "No man on earth can call me that!" shouted Harden, "Take it back and apologize, you rotter!" "A rotter, am I?" sneered Forrester. "And what are you? You come of a family of rotters. I know your sister's history! I know " Enoch laid a hand on Agnew's arm. "Don't interfere! Nothing but blood will wipe that out."
They say we have recruited about 300,000 for service abroad. It isn't as if the rest were mobilized for war purposes they are not. There is not even a home guard. There are tens of thousands of men around the streets of Toronto to-day who should be at war; I know a lot of them personally and they haven't 'bad hearts' either, or dependent mothers. They are just rotters, nothing else."
I'm a confounded cad, Willa, and worse!" He dropped his head on his hands with a groan. "I ought to be shot!" "Well, that's a healthy sign," Willa observed cheerfully. "Lots of people are rotters and never find it out. It's like a disease; when you know what is the matter, you can usually find a cure." "Sometimes it's incurable." His voice was muffled. "I'm in a hole and there's no way out."
Took him for the French marquis he said he was, every one of us, women and all, till Mrs. V. fixed her eye on him and said, 'Gustave! Damme! how he curled up!" George was still obdurate. A masquerading waiter differed from Helen in many essentials. "He was a Frenchman, an' they're mostly rotters.
"But Lady Tancred is young and comes with us!" "And I will take care of her," announced Lord Elterton, looking sentimental much to Tristram's disgust. Ethelrida seemed to have collected a lot of rotters, he thought to himself, although it was the same party he had so enjoyed last year!
"Queer thing!" he commented. "You find the worst rotters in any country squatted over the richest minerals." At the time, Courtenay gave slight heed to this bit of crude philosophy. It was not until he called to mind the Kaffir, the Australian black, the Alaskan Indian, the primeval nomads of California, Colorado, and Northern Siberia, that he saw how extraordinarily true was his friend's dictum.
She remembered the eager discussions in the Temple Debating Society, or at the "Moots" of Gray's Inn, her successes there as an orator and a close reasoner; how boy students formed ardent friendships for her and prophesied her future success in Parliament, would have her promise to take them into the Cabinet which David was to form when an electorate swept him into power and sent the antiquated old rotters of that day into the limbo of deserved occlusion.

Blighted rotters they are at these Group H.Q.'s. Chuck us over the chit." Peter brightened up and obeyed.
Some one who understands real moral values ought to make a new set of civil laws that would apply to the worst class of criminals in society: not the poor hungry, simple-minded rogues, the primitive murderers, but the real rotters of honor and destroyers of salvation.
"I know what it is to be hard up," Mordaunt answered. "And since we are to be brothers we may as well behave as such, eh Rupert?" Rupert's hand came out and gripped his impulsively.
