"I wish I knowed where the old man hid his boodle," soliloquized Tom. "I can't dig all over." In fact digging was not in Tom's line. It was too much like work, and if there was anything to which Tom was bitterly opposed it was work of any kind. "The boy must know. Likely the old man told him," he finally concluded. "I'll watch the boy." He feared he might be too late.
It's for the good of the organization. Pickering must go under. Your testimony will do it. He was your 'man higher up' when you were on the force. His share of the boodle passed through your hands. You must go on the stand and testify against him." "He was" began the Captain. "Wait a minute," said Finnegan. A bundle of yellowish stuff came out of his inside pocket.
One of the brotherhood has commissioned me to dig up some boodle he's planted over in New Hampshire. You may recall the incident.
The silver problem is not at present the burthen of my song I simply rise to remark that the American people have been buncoed by this commission business. It was sent abroad at great outlay of boodle to ascertain what is perfectly well-known to every man outside the insane asylum, viz.: that England, being a creditor nation, would not consent to the remonetization of silver.
"That you and I have been on the decent side for once." He shrugged his shoulders. "You're hopeless, Bunny, quite hopeless! I take it you wouldn't have refused your share if the boodle had fallen to us? Yet you positively enjoy coming off second best for the second time running!

There was much in this that was distasteful to Captain Clavering, but at last he submitted, and handed over the thirty pounds to his friend. Then there was considerable doubt whether the ambassador should announce himself by a note, but it was decided at last that his arrival should not be expected.
It must be remembered that Sophie knew nothing of her present visitor, and was altogether unaware that he was in any way connected with Captain Clavering. "You are Captain Boddle," she said, looking hard at Doodles as he bowed to her on entering the room. "Captain Boodle, ma'am; at your service." "Oh, Captain Bood-dle; it is English name, I suppose?" "Certainly, ma'am, certainly.
And then Homer P. Mellinger takes up the bundle of boodle and slams it in the governor man's face. "'That's my answer, says Mellinger, private secretary, 'and there'll be another in the morning. I have proofs of conspiracy against every man of you. The show is over, gentlemen. "'There's one more act, puts in the governor man.
I recollect their whole talk as well as if it had been whispered but yesterday; and can see, after a long dinner, the yellow summer sun throwing long shadows over the lawn before the dining-room windows, and my poor mother and her company of ladies sailing away to the music-room in old Boodle Hall.
"You see, when the surround is completed, you, being the guest of honour, must take a harpoon and impale the first one. It is the custom. Then everybody goes in with their hands and throws the catch out on the sand. There will be a mountain of them. Then one of the chiefs will make a speech in which he presents you with the whole kit and boodle. But you don't have to take them all.
