Explore "Benno and Some of the Push" by Edward Dyson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
NICHOLAS DON was a gay deceiver. His attitude towards womankind was consistently frivolous, and his opinion of the sex was small but indulgent.
"They're all erlike," said Nicholas, and it must be admitted that his experience was extensive. He devoted the greater part of his leisure to the pursuit of it, and his audacity in "wording" cold, proud young persons in the grand march past in the city on Sunday evenings, and his success in attaching himself to girls in whom his first advances had seemed to provoke unutterable loathing and contempt were the wonder, the admiration, and the envy of comparatively timid spirits like Benno and the printers.
