I rebelled fiercely against John's decision that we must not take her with us on our return to the frontier; privately, I resolved to dispute it, and, if necessary, I saw myself abducting the child my own child. My days and nights as the ship crept on were full of a long ache to possess her; the defrauded tenderness of the last four years rose up in me and sometimes caught at my throat.
I said nothing about it to them, you understand; and then they found out that I hadn't slept in the house, and Miss Tattersall discovered by accident that I knew you by sight that was when you came up to the house this morning and after that everything I've ever done since infancy has somehow gone to prove that my single ambition in life has always been to help you in abducting Brenda Jervaise.
"But when it came to stealing and abducting " "Hello, you fellows!" shouted a voice from behind the Rover boys. "Plotting mischief?" "Not just now, Stanley," answered Dick, as his college chum caught him by the shoulder and swung him around playfully. "Want to go for a row on the river?" asked Stanley Browne. "Not just now, Stanley.
If we cannot execute our plan, if we do not succeed in abducting Napoleon, perhaps the dagger of an assassin will he raised against him an assassin who does not regard his deed as a crime, but as a sacred duty." "And why are we content with an abduction?" asked the count fiercely. "Why should not the blood of the man who has shed so many torrents of blood, be shed also?"
"Miss Delia Webster is the lady who was sentenced to the State penitentiary for abducting our silly old servants into Ohio.

There is a statute in force against abductors. That statute says that whosoever is caught in the act of abducting a youth or a maiden need not be brought before the tribunals, but may be sent direct to the headsman who is to judge and sentence him forthwith. Now you are such a robber. You have abducted a girl. You are caught in the act.
But you provoked me more than you knew, probably, at the club, and after we had entered the car, and, being myself hot-tempered, I determined to teach you a lesson. I have no intention, however, of abducting you.
We know what a tricksy sprite she is. Believe me, both absences were practical jokes. She has disappeared of her own free will. It was very well in the Dark Ages this abducting young ladies and carrying them off to castle-keeps but it won't do in New York, in the present year of grace." "My opinion precisely, Guy," chimed in his fair cousin. "Mollie likes to create sensations.
Notwithstanding the fact of its having been practised by a few persons it can never be taken as the eternal usage. Other forms of marriage are seen, practised by men, such as marrying girls after abducting them by force from amidst their kinsmen. Those persons who have sexual intercourse with a maiden, after reducing her to subjection by force, are regarded as perpetrators of sin.
Being about to die, the signatories to the document confessed their guilt in abducting the child, and could not, in the face of death, refrain from acknowledgment of their crime. The prisoner Hardquanonne had been found at Chatham, and he had recognised Gwynplaine.
