A very potent medicine called eucalyptus oil is brewed from gum-leaves, and a favourite Australian "house-wives'" remedy for rheumatism is a bed stuffed with gum-leaves. So the gum-tree is useful as well as beautiful. His school and his games "Bobbies and bushrangers" Riding to school.
"But, Dick," she said, "if they aren't at Gallowstree Dip?" "We've got to make our plans as we go, and change 'em when we must. It'd seem incredible, wouldn't it if it weren't for what you've seen and suffered since last night. England! And you and I as much cut off from Bobbies and Bow Street as if we were in Petrograd or Central New Guinea.
The old woman had it put in the bed, and covered it with the bed-clothes, as if it was a sick person; and the 'bobbies' found it there before she had time to get it cooked for us, and, by jingo! we were all marched up to the 'lock-up' over it. Well, I got thirty days over that job.
You have, perhaps, heard that the London police force offers something like an honourable career to a young man, that "Bobbies" are decently paid, that they are advanced systematically, may retire early on a fair pension, and that frequently they come from the country, as their innocent English faces and fresh complexions indicate.
And I wish her safe home, and if I was on the rack I could tell no more, except that when I got back I were laid hands on by these here bobbies, contrary to the British constitooshun, and if your ladyship will kindly go to where that constitooshun is wrote down, and find out wot it sez about my rights and liberties for I have been told that the working-man has his liberties, and have myself seen plenty took with him you will oblige a common chap more than his education will enable him to express."
I thought there'd be a lark when she left the little 'un in your shop, so I just stopped to see. She bolted as if the bobbies were after her." "How long ago?" asked Oliver, anxiously. "The clocks had just gone eight," he answered; "I've been watching for you ever since."
If it won't move, w'y don't they send for a company of London bobbies and make 'em tell it to `move on, it couldn't refuse, you know, for nothin' can resist that. They're all keen for goin' over things in this country, an' some of 'em goes under altogether in the doin' of it.
I should hope not, for the sake of the Army to which I still belong, being in the Reserve. What you bobbies need is to study human nature and cultivate observation, which will learn you the difference between a new-laid corpse and a mummy, and many other things.
"Painful subject," says I, shakin' my head warnin'. But Helma ain't the kind to gloss things over. She speaks right out. "If you please, Miss," says she, "I've no mother, and Daddums has been taken up the bobbies, you know. And I fancy the money he left for my board must have been all used; for I heard the landlady say I'd have to go to a home.
The little Maggies and Bobbies of the Flats down there must be fed, you know and their mother too yes, and Sam Whaley himself must be cared for. And so you see, because of the strike, Billy and I must work overtime." Certainly there was no hint of rebuke in the old basket maker's kindly voice, but the daughter of Adam Ward felt her cheeks flush with a quick sense of shame.
