"Lordy, if you knew how good it is to hear this after tramping up three miles of stairs and more and nabbing a tawdry twenty subscriptions." "Is that all you got?" "People don't understand." "We'll make them!" cried Sally, clenching her fist. Joe laughed warmly; he was delighted with her. "Are you working here?" he asked.

That is to say, she has been vastly disappointed, either by failing to nab some pretty fellow that her heart was set on, or, worse, by actually nabbing him, and then discovering him to be a bounder or an imbecile, or both. Thus walking the world with broken hearts, women know that the injury is not serious.

"Now we must set about nabbing our rascal," said Delourmel, who had long moustaches and great eyes that rolled in his head. "I feel quite in the mood this morning for a dish of aristocrat's lights and liver, washed down with a glass of white wine."

He played hob with all the calculations, and so we find Constance, his wife, lamenting in the graveyard of her hopes and cursing Jimmy Gordon for his unfaithfulness in marrying before he was in a position to do so. If Jimmy had remained single for twelve years longer than he did, I daresay Arthur's widow would have succeeded in nabbing him whether or no.

I tell you what, Dick, I'm not the man to skear at a raw-head-and-bloody-bones; but I do think the coming of this here cursed Jibbenainosay among us, jist as we was nabbing the girl and sodger, was as much as to say there was no good could come of it; and so the Injuns thought too you saw how hard it was to bring 'em up to the scratch, when they found he had been knifing a feller right among 'em!

The door, left unguarded, had slammed, and they were nabbing Kit and Knapp in the drain. His hand was upon the catch once more. Should he go? dared he stay? His spirit wrought within him. Strong man though he was, he was whimpering in the darkness. To slink behind that iron door was eternal shame; to go was inevitable ruin. Could he save his own old skin at the cost of that boy's?

De Spain shuffled a little: "Well, Jeffries thinks we might let things rest till Duke Morgan and the others get over some of their soreness." Lefever, astonished at the indifference of de Spain to the opportunity of nabbing Sassoon, while he could be found, expostulated strongly.

Certain information, it seems, has been received from a female, that Blueskin would be at a flash-ken near the Chase at five o'clock to-day, and they're all set out in the expectation of nabbing him." "Mr. Wild had a narrow escape lately, in that affair of Captain Darrell," observed Shotbolt. "I don't exactly know the rights of that affair," rejoined Griffin, with some curiosity.

Through the twilight, Marius could distinguish their livid faces, their wild heads, their dishevelled hair, their hideous bonnets, their ragged petticoats, and their bare feet. They were talking as they ran. The taller said in a very low voice: "The bobbies have come. They came near nabbing me at the half-circle." The other answered: "I saw them. I bolted, bolted, bolted!"

"I'm sorry I didn't nab him while I had him." "Never mind," they rejoined; "if you stick to your present object, you're bound to meet him again and soon. Only take a word of advice. Have a few guns with you, for you're liable to need them. We're not afraid about nabbing the whole bunch; but we don't want to lose good men going after a bad man. And there's such a thing as having too much courage."
