There was something against nature in the man's craven impudence; it was as though a lamb had butted me; such daring at the hands of such a dastard implied unchangeable resolve, a great pressure of necessity, and powerful means. I thought of the unknown Carthew, and it sickened me to see this ferret on his trail.
It was well for the dastard, that he was protected by the presence of ladies, and beyond the reach of my arm, or I certainly should have committed an act of violence. I restrained my indignation, however, and appeared outwardly calm received some instructions from the counsellor and noted them down with stoical precision.
It is one way of reconciling families. Cheever was so filled with remorse that he was tempted to write Jim Dyckman a note of apology. That was one of the few temptations he ever resisted. Now he was going to kill everybody who had been dastard enough to believe and spread the scandal he had so easily believed himself. But he would have had to begin with Zada. He was afraid of Zada.
But he never came back again! After shedding torrents of tears, the king summoned Prince Prigio to his presence. "Dastard!" he said. "Poltroon! Your turn, which should have come first, has arrived at last. You must fetch me the horns and the tail of the Firedrake. Probably you will be grilled, thank goodness; but who will give me back Enrico and Alphonso?"
Presently, two candles were lit; one of which the Skyeman tied up and down the barbed end of his harpoon; so that upon going below, the keen steel might not be far off, should the light be blown out by a dastard. Unfastening the cabin scuttle, we stepped downward into the smallest and murkiest den in the world.
Villiers had picked up the box, and was standing on the edge of the bank, just about to leave. The unhappy woman recognised her husband, and uttered a cry. 'You! you! she shrieked, wildly, 'coward! dastard! Give me back that nugget! leaning out of the trap in her eagerness. 'I'll see you damned first, retorted Villiers, who, now that he was recognised, was utterly reckless as to the result.
To the eternal shame of the Pharisees and lawyers, a common mariner of the Lake of Tiberias, who by his gross cowardice had become the laughing-stock of the kitchen wenches who warmed themselves with him in the courtyard of the high priest, a churl and a dastard, who denied his master and his faith before slatterns certainly not so pretty by far as the chamber-maid of the bailiff's wife at Seez, wears the triple crown, the pontifical ring on his finger and rules over princes and bishops, over kings and emperors, is invested with the right to bind and loose; the most respectable of men, the most honest dame, cannot enter heaven unless he gives them admission.
It was a genuine relief for poor Madame Chebe when her husband took an omnibus at the office to go and hunt up Delobelle whose hours for lounging were always at his disposal and pour into his bosom all his rancor against his son-in-law and his daughter. The illustrious Delobelle also bore Risler a grudge, and freely said of him: "He is a dastard."
The man paused for a few moments, and then replied "Night and day, I pray to God, upon my bended knees, only one unvarying, unceasing prayer, and that is 'When the last agonies shall be upon that man when, sick with weariness, pain, disease, hunger, he lies down to die when the death-gurgle is in the throat, and the eye swims beneath the last dull film when remembrance peoples the chamber with Hell, and his cowardice would falter forth its dastard recantation to Heaven then may I be there?"
They made a slight mistake and got the wrong man, then sent me to the Pen' for murder. That's the kind of a dastard you've got for a pardner but you can tell him I'll never give up. I'll fight till I die, and if I ever get out " "Yes, there you go again," burst out Bunker Hill bitterly, "you ain't got the brain of a mule.
