Twice she reappeared at intervals of a few minutes and each time she said "Not any flounce into the pond yet, little man?"
So they offered their services to go out against them, "having still so much English blood in us ... as to risk our lives in opposing them ... rather than to be sneakingly murdered in our beds....

When the people of the place, the squire and keepers and others who have an interest in the reeds and osiers, fall to abusing them on account of the damage they do, I put my fingers in my ears. But at Abbotsbury I did not do so, but listened with keen pleasure to the curses they vented and the story they told.
I find also," he went on in his somewhat precise voice that had earned him the nickname of "Deacon" among his punchers, "that there are more young stock vented and rebranded than I er sold your nephew.

"I heard that he too has left his home in a vague search for God." I turned away. To Ananta I remarked that I would not engage in further discussion with our hosts. My brother agreed to an immediate departure; we soon entrained for Calcutta. "Mr. Detective, how did you discover I had fled with two companions?"

"Shove away, my lads shove away," cried Hemming, not wishing to waste time in a contest with the beast.
