The master listened, and he just smiled to himself, and said, "If they have been in the marsh, they are out now, Zillah. Nelly Dean is lodged, at this minute, in your room. You can tell her to flit, when you go up; here is the key. The bog-water got into her head, and she would have run home quite flighty; but I fixed her till she came round to her senses.
Ormond having never before entered a cabin with a search-warrant, constable, or with the military, he was "not up to the thing" as both the serjeant and constable remarked to each other. And the child of another eloquent matron was running off with a pair of silver-mounted pistols taken from the wreck, which he was instructed to hide in a bog-hole, snug the bog-water never rusting.

Now do not think me an ornithologist or a bird sharp. Personally I do not know a bittern from an olive-backed thrush.
