bedamn

Schroder – liar and kidnapper – isn't the most obviously sympathetic of narrators, but beware: this moving, funny, disturbing novel will have you in floods of tears, onlookers bedamned.

“Do you still have no sun in this bedamned England?”

Hasn’t that triply bedamned rocket landed yet, Lieutenant?

Dead and bedamned, and the rest gone whist!—

It hasn't any bell; and as you'll have cause to remember, if you keep your reason, all Australia is simply bedamned with bells.
