"I'm sick of ketching such miserable little things as these. I want to get hold of big sea-fish of all kinds, so as to fill the boat. Some chaps would be glad to go," he said again, as he threw his line in once more. "Yes," said Dexter thoughtfully; "I should like to go." "You!" said Bob, with a mocking laugh. "You! Why, you'd be afraid. I don't believe you dare go in a boat!"
"But what for a coat?" said he. "There's nothing in the house that he could get on." "That's true," said she. "But he must have something. You can get him the Duke's dressing-gown." "What!" exclaimed the man. "You don't mean " "Yes, I do mean," said she. "It's big enough for anybody, and it'll keep him from ketching cold. Go fetch it!"
"But it must be mighty improvin', I think, ketching of thieves, and finding out their thricks and hidin'-places, and the like?" "Yes, yes," said Goggins, "good fun; though I don't do it, I know all about it, and could tell queer things too." "Arrah, maybe you would, sir?" said Larry. "Maybe I will, after we nibble some rashers will you take share?"
Is it ketching?" "Is it KETCHING? Why, how you talk. Is a HARROW catching in the dark? If you don't hitch on to one tooth, you're bound to on another, ain't you? And you can't get away with that tooth without fetching the whole harrow along, can you?

And John Meares o' the public, he seed the red froth from his nostrils on the brakes one morning when he was ketching pheasants. And the jeath's with him, great hound-dogs, real as real, only no eyes, but sockets with a light behind 'em. Ne'er a one knows what they's after.

We had to hold the dogs' muzzles to keep 'em quiet till he'd got by." "What was he doing?" "Wading, and ketching our trout. We let him go right up to the deep water, down below where the narrows are, and we thought we'd trapped him; but somehow he managed to scramble up the side and get up here, so we set the dogs on, and they run him down. Look here, Master Mark; he'd got all these trout.
Carp's a good bait; but you can't always ketch carps." "You are a good chap, Dave!" cried Tom. "Ay, that I am, lads. I say, though, talk 'bout ketching; hev the squire and Farmer Tallington ketched the chap as sat fire to Grimsey stables?" "Nobody set fire to Grimsey stables," said Tom. "It was to the stacks." "Nay, lad, I knows better than that," cried Dave, shaking his head.
"You will do so at your own risk, and also, if your call should prove injurious to him, at a risk of being indicted for manslaughter, besides possibly catching the disease." "You say it's ketching?"

They begun to light the whole town up as light as day, and paint a red patch onto the sky, that must of been noticed fur miles around. It was a mighty purty sight to see 'em burn.

It was tobacco burning in them warehouses.
