| A clueless cad tries to woo a lady with his self-produced song and macho posturing, interpreting her disdain as approval. |
| Good, of course, must routinely triumph, and if a cad is in need of redemption, then the love of a good woman will set him aright. |
| 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. |
| He, true to form, behaves like a cad and leaves her for the gambling tables and his deserved fate. |
| However, the libidinous cad may find many pleasures in the licentious glance along the pew. |
| For example, I think stable means unchanging or changing slowly, and decent means not a cad or a bounder. |
