wastrel

Indeed, as I have said before, ambition was the one thing which kept him from being a wastrel.

He felt himself ridiculous and wanted to leave the wastrel, but somehow could not.

I would explain that Mark must have gone out somewhere, and would myself introduce the wastrel brother to the tea-table.

But I marvel to find that a writer of Mr. Lilly's intelligence and good faith is willing to father such a wastrel.
