"What do you mean?" "With the quarter of that sum, presented to estimable burglars, youthful jail-birds and honorable criminals, I might become somebody, a Man in the Blue Cloak on a small scale; and then a young woman is proud of her husband," Adolphe replies. This answer is the grave of love, and Caroline takes it in very bad part. An explanation follows.
It was a large, old-fashioned safe, proof from any fire that might visit the ranch, and beyond the ability of ordinary burglars to open, without the use of explosives or special tools. And as Bud leaned over to look at the heavy door he saw something that caused him to ask: "Were these here before the attempted robbery, Dad?" "What there, Bud?" "These scratches on the front of the door.
Before the prisoner was a toilet-glass, in which he could not help seeing his own pale, haggard, frightened face whenever he looked up, a refinement of barbarism I was not prepared for in a British court of justice. I occupied a seat in the gallery, surrounded by professional pickpockets, burglars, and highwaymen, I dare say; for they talked freely of the poor fellow's chances, and like experts.
Lady Talbot shook hands with the others, and then turned to him. "And who is your little friend?" she asked Edred, and in the same breath cried out "Why, it's my little runaway!" Dickie only said: "I wasn't ungrateful, I wasn't I had to go." But his eyes implored. And Lady Talbot Dickie will always love her for that understood. Not a word about burglars did she say, only
These rookeries do not furnish forth burglars and accomplished pickpockets, like those of cities, but they do send out a gang of lazy, scamping fellows and coarse women, who are almost useless.
There was a window, however, that lacked one pane of glass. The aperture would not admit a man's body. It was believed that the burglars had passed a boy through it, who had handed out the stolen goods. And now, Nick foolishly argued, if any one should discover that he knew where the plunder was hidden, they would believe that he was that boy who had robbed the store!
Then Potts seized his fowling-piece; and going down to the dining-room door, where he could hear the burglars at work, he cocked the gun, aimed it, pushed the door open with the muzzle and fired. Instantly Mrs. Potts sprang the rattle, and before Potts could pick up the lacerated hired girl the front door was burst open by two policemen, who came into the dining-room.
"They bark if burglars try to get in." Then she made notes of "burglars" and went on: "because of the love which people bear to this animal." Zava interrupted here. "Is it the men or the women who love this animal so much?" "Both!" insisted Terry. "Equally?" she inquired. And Jeff said, "Nonsense, Terry you know men like dogs better than women do as a whole."
"Down cellar!" cried Betty. "What a place to hide diamonds in the cellar!" "It's the safest all-around place," her father said. "I don't believe any burglars would be able to find them where I was going to put them, and in case of fire the diamonds would be in little danger. Of course they might be buried under a lot of rubbish, but they wouldn't go up in puffs of smoke.
He was prepared to continue the snappy dialogue till breakfast time. "I think there must have been a burglar in here, Jackson." "Looks like it, sir." "I found the window open." "He's probably in the garden, sir." Mr. Wain looked out into the garden with an annoyed expression, as if its behaviour in letting burglars be in it struck him as unworthy of a respectable garden.
