It is hard not to think Connors is an insensitive cad for bringing up such a private matter almost 40 years after the fact. |
A clueless cad tries to woo a lady with his self-produced song and macho posturing, interpreting her disdain as approval. |
He knew, deeply, that in keeping his true identity from her, he had been a cad and a scoundrel, but he had been so eager for her to see him in a positive light. |
This is necessary because fiddling the regimental books is clearly the action of a bounder and a cad, and shows an unheroic concern for money. |
However, the libidinous cad may find many pleasures in the licentious glance along the pew. |
He, true to form, behaves like a cad and leaves her for the gambling tables and his deserved fate. |
