Good reasons they was." The soldier grunted and, stooping, picked up his bundle. "I spoke of arf a sovereign just now," continued the boatswain, impressively, "and when I tell you that I offer it to you to do a bit o' burgling, you'll see 'ow necessary it is for me to be certain of your honesty." "Burgling?" gasped the astonished soldier. "Honesty? 'Struth; are you drunk or am I?"
"Well," he said impatiently, "who is Laura?" "Laura is the loyal negress who cooks the food for Mrs. Paynter's bright young men. Her husband first deserted her, next had the misfortune to get caught while burgling, and is at present doing time, as the saying is. Now a young bright-skin negro desires to marry Laura, and speaks in urgent tones of the divorce court.
But I never refuse money, nor beer neither. Never did, and I'm forty years old next month. 'I suppose burgling doesn't pay very well, does it? Sir Jee boldly ventured. William Smith laughed coarsely. 'It pays right enough, said he. 'But I don't put my money on my back, governor, I put it into a bit of public-house property when I get the chance. 'It may pay, said Sir Jee. 'But it is wrong.
Think they'd got a marquis in disguise, so they would." Dickie thought all day about this great adventure. He did not tell Mr. Beale so, but he was very proud of being so trusted. If you come to think of it, burgling must be a very exciting profession. And Dickie had no idea that it was wrong. It seemed to him a wholly delightful and sporting amusement.
It seems obvious to us that men, whether clerks or laymen, who eat, drink, wear, build, and possess on the temporal plane, should requite those who safeguard them in these things with tribute, honour, and obedience; and freedom from State control in things temporal seems like freedom to eat buns without paying the baker. Free bilking, free burgling, and so on, sound no less contradictory.

The objections to the first course were two.
He had spotted the place some days before and ascertained that it was empty, and when he found that Sir Horace had returned alone he decided to break in, and, covering Sir Horace with a revolver, try to extort money from him. A riskier but more profitable game than burgling an empty house if it came off. With his revolver in his hand he made his way up to the library.
"To look for some tools 'e mislaid there a year ago when 'e was on a plumbing job and they won't let 'im 'ave them back, not by fair means, they won't. That's what for." "Rats!" said Dickie briefly. "I ain't a baby. It's burgling, that's what it is." "You'll a jolly sight too fond of calling names," said Beale anxiously. "Never mind what it is. You be a good boy, matey, and do what you're told.
They shall give their morbid minds to the fine art of burgling, for a change; and while we're about it, Bunny, we may as well extract their opinion of our noble selves. As authors, as collaborators, we will sit with the flower of our critics, and find our own level in the expert eye.
