Grabman sneered as he saw that Bill, stout rogue as he was, turned pale while he spoke; but at that moment Bob reappeared with the clothes-brush, which the ex-attorney thrust into his pocket, and shaking Bill by the hand, and patting Bob on the head, he set out on his journey. Bill reseated himself, muttering, "Bully a body-snatcher! Drot that Grabman, does he want to get rid of poor Bill?"
Tar and feather the viper's fry! the wizard! the body-snatcher!" bellowed the mob, one member of which was raving with delirium tremens, and another was a madman just escaped from bedlam. It is unaccountable where all this mischievous, bloodthirsty multitude came from, how they were born into that quietness in such a moment of time! What had they been about heretofore?
I say, what a babbling body-snatcher that Beagle-boy is! Ought to be drowned!" "They bury people so damn casual hereabouts. Give him another chance," the Inspector pleaded, not knowing that he should live to repent most bitterly. "Talkin' of chances," said the Governor, "this Sheikh lies about his barley bein' a failure. If it's high enough to hide a hound at this time of year, it's all right.
Seizing Beck by the nape of the neck, with a dexterous application of hand and foot he sent him spinning into the kennel. "Go to Jericho, mud-scraper!" cried Bill, in a voice of thunder; "and if ever thou sayst such a vopper agin, 'sparaging the characters of them 'ere motherless babes, I'll seal thee up in a 'tato-sack, and sell thee for fiv'pence to No. 7, the great body-snatcher.
'st!" said Beck between his teeth, as the stranger, halting at the second floor, demanded, in no gentle tones, whether Mr. Grabman lived in the chimney-pots. "'St! 'st! Don't make such a rumpus, or No. 7 will be at you." "What do I care for No. 7? And who the devil is No. 7?" "A body-snatcher!" whispered Beck, with a shudder. "He's a dillicut sleeper, can't abide having his night's rest sp'ilt.
Well, suppose you walk up to him and say, "You spawn of the pike-eyed sneak that Herod hired to kill babies, you low-down, contemptible son of a body-snatcher, you was born a murderer, but lacked the courage and became a horse-thief!" There, Sol, start in easy like that and gradually work up to a climax, and you'll have him going and all inside the law. Two dollars, please!"
I dares do all that does become a man; but No. 7 is a body-snatcher! No. 7 has bullied me, and I bore it! No. 7 might whop me, and this h-arm would let him whop! He lives with graves and churchyards and stiff 'uns, that damnable No. 7! Ask some'at else, Grabman. I dares not touch No. 7 any more than the ghostesses."
They've got hold of the wrong end of it!" "Clear off into your hole and hold your tongue, you body-snatcher!" cried Madam Johnsen, spitting with rage. "You've got to stick your brandy-nose into everything!" He stood there, half drunk, leaning over the rail, babbling, teasing, without returning Madam Johnsen's vituperation.
I felt all the dogged argumentativeness of my nature awake within me as I answered him, "I am satisfied that Lucy's body is not in that coffin, but that only proves one thing." "And what is that, friend John?" "That it is not there." "That is good logic," he said, "so far as it goes. But how do you, how can you, account for it not being there?" "Perhaps a body-snatcher," I suggested.
