It was awful of the bobbies, wasn't it?" "Looks so from here," says I. "Was it jew'lry that was missin', or what?" "Money, Cook said," says Helma. "Oh, a lot! Fancy! Why, everyone knows Daddums wouldn't do a thing like that. They could ask Sir Alfred. Daddums was with him ever so long since I was a little, little girl." I glances across at Vee, and she glances back.
"We could have bobbies stationed along the line," interrupted Willie, "an' tickets put up warnin' the passengers not to give 'em money on no account wotsomedever, on pain o' bein' charged double fare for the first offence, an' pitched over the rails into illimidibble pro-what's-'is-name for the second."
"Now, Jim, you be ready to cut and run if he should waken before I 'ave 'im fast. Don't mind me; I'll look arter myself. An' wotever you do, don't holler for the bobbies. Mind that, else I'll strangle you." With this advice and caution, the Bloater advanced toward the recumbent man, and passed the rope softly round his body, including his arms and the bedpost in the coil.
Yet MacIan was not exactly ready. He stood staring like a man stricken with a trance. "What are you staring at?" asked Turnbull. "Do you see the bobbies?" "I see Jerusalem," said Evan, "all covered with the shields and standards of the Saracens." "Jerusalem!" said Turnbull, laughing. "Well, we've taken the only inhabitant into captivity."
And before he had time to answer, she wrote on a sheet of white paper, which lay in the middle of the table: "The bobbies are here." Then throwing down the pen: "There are no faults of orthography. You can look. We have received an education, my sister and I. We have not always been as we are now. We were not made "
Lots decide, however, the cast. The bushrangers sally forth and stick up an imaginary coach, or rob an imaginary country bank. The "bobbies" go in pursuit, and there is a desperate mock battle, which allows of much yelling and running about, and generally causes great joy. "Camping out" is another characteristic amusement of the Australian child.
Gavroche, as he listened, had seized a cane that Montparnasse held in his hand, and mechanically pulled at the upper part, and the blade of a dagger made its appearance. "Ah!" he exclaimed, pushing the dagger back in haste, "you have brought along your gendarme disguised as a bourgeois." Montparnasse winked. "The deuce!" resumed Gavroche, "so you're going to have a bout with the bobbies?"
And besides, the light might pass through the cracks of the porte-cochere, and all the bobbies need to do is to see it." "And then," remarked the elder timidly, he alone dared talk to Gavroche, and reply to him, "a spark might fall in the straw, and we must look out and not burn the house down." "People don't say 'burn the house down," remarked Gavroche, "they say 'blaze the crib."
There was a crowd, and of course we went to have a squint. And it was two bobbies and our burglar between them, and he was being dragged along; and he said, "I tell you them cats was GIVE me. I got 'em in exchange for me milking a cow in a basement parlour up Camden Town way." 'And the people laughed. Beasts!
'Nawsty business 'ere this morning, Sir. Gent in No. 15 been and shot 'isself. They've just took 'im to the mortiary. The police are up there now. I ascended to No. 15, and found a couple of bobbies and an inspector busy making an examination. I asked a few idiotic questions, and they soon kicked me out.
