According to her words, which a scribe took down, Calvary rose, and the whole Rascaldom of the soldiers rushed at the Saviour and spat on Him; frightful episodes took place where Jesus, chained to a pillar, twisting like a worm, under the lashes of the scourgers, then falling, looking with His failing eyes, at the fallen women who held Him by the hand, and turned away in disgust from His lacerated body, from His face covered with threads of blood as with a red net.
"En Route"
J.-K. (Joris-Karl) Huysmans
The cold, hungry, friendless, solitary doom of unconvicted Rascaldom has ever seemed to me to be the most wretched phase of human existence,-that phase of living in which the liver can trust no one, and be trusted by none; in which the heart is ever quailing at the policeman's hat, and the eye ever shrinking from the policeman's gaze.
"Castle Richmond"
Anthony Trollope
The local authorities looked askance at this gathering of Rascaldom, and gave them a wide berth.
