I wouldn't trust that old wretch an inch.

The old wretch leaned toward him, her eyes like gimlets drilling into his.

The old wretch might just make a very powerful enemy in the process.

This day the good old wretch here o' the house Has made it for us: now he's at projection.

The crazy old wretch will get himself killed with that tongue of his.

The old wretch nearly cleaned me out, and then refused to allow me credit.

The poor old wretch did have something on his mind.

What an old wretch he believed himself at that moment.

The old wretch seems harmless enough to me, but keep an eye on him just in case.
