"See here, my chap," said Sneak, rising up and casting a furious glance at him, "if you don't mean to hand that out again, one or the t'other of us must be put in the ground with the traitorious Posin and if it is to be you, it'll be a purty thing for it to be said that you brought a spade to bury yourself with." "Didn't I find the body?" said Joe. "But burn me if you found the gold," said Sneak.
"Pray heaven," said Peter, referring to Mary Carstairs, "that she won't see the Daily this morning!" "Yes. Her father's name would naturally start her to thinking, which would make things awkward." "Larry, the Gazette is going to print his name to-morrow morning as sure as Smith is a lying sneak." "We've still got to-day, haven't we? By Jove, it's nearly eleven already.
It is most disagreeable to right-thinking people. Let him remember that he is also a man; and let his manner be manly as well as civil. You cannot help thinking that the sneak would be a tyrant, if he had the opportunity.
But you won't sneak off like Cyrus Vetch; you can't go with a commission like young Cludde. How much money have you got?" "A few guineas I have saved." "Well, keep them; you may be in a tight place some day, and find 'em handy. You have a hankering for the sea, you say. Then tramp to Bristowe, as your champion Joe Punchard did, and hitch on to John Benbow if you can find him.
They run the whole concern, and they give out that it's owing to them that we're given parole of the town, and the privilege of spending our money and working these mines.

They'll begin to stack up on the other side any time now, and as soon as the water goes down they'll come across with a rush. And if they're feelin' good-natured they'll spread out over The Rolls and drift north, but if they're feelin' bad they'll sneak up onto Bronco Mesa and scatter the cattle forty ways for Sunday, and bust up my rodér and raise hell generally.
He had stood in the shadow of his tent for a few minutes, and had seen Bill Holmes sneak into camp, coming from up the arroyo somewhere.

I was a sneak and a coward. It follows, I was a liar and a traitor. Who cured me of that vileness, that scandal? I will tell you an Englishman and an Englishwoman: my schoolmaster and his wife. My schoolmaster my friend!
He wanted to be near his machine the moment there was light enough to see by, and slept in some unfinished hangar or under canvas in order not to miss any enterprising German who might take advantage of the dusk to sneak over the lines, spy on our preparations, or bombard our rear. He had paid for his imprudence by a severe cold.
You've put it all over me and rubbed it in, and and instead of getting away with anything like I thought I'll just beat it away from here feeling like a bigger sneak than I ever thought I was. I've I've seen something here I have. I thought some of these trees were made of pretty good stuff, but you've got them beat, Slady.
