"That is coming to the point exactly," said his father. "It all depends upon that, whether Henry had a right to reclaim his dipper at that time, after only lending it to Rollo. And that, you see, is another bailment case. Henry bailed Rollo the dipper. This shows the truth of what I said before, that a great many of the disputes among boys arise from cases of bailment.
The Chinee meanwhile bailed up the rest of the animals, and caught and milked a couple of "nannies," while a patriarchal old "billy" walked fragrantly round the yard, uttering hoarse "buukhs" of defiance. It was a truly pastoral scene, but Hugh took little interest in it.
The shepherds were badly beaten, and then bailed up, and a couple of hundred sheep were driven off.
But the fact of his being guest on a yacht was magnified and glorified.

"You need very little time to enquire after me," says the colonel, "for I can send for several of the law, whom I suppose you know, to satisfy you; but consider, it is very late." "Yes, sir," answered Bondum, "I do consider it is too late for the captain to be bailed to-night." "What do you mean by too late?" cries the colonel.
