Mechanically he approached and pulled the end of the blanket over the staring face. With a shudder he turned away, and walked back to his seat by the fire. He was sitting there when, an hour later, Peters and Morton rode up with a led horse, walking lame, between them. "Our man was thrown and dodged us in the bush," Peters said as he came up. "But we collared the horse and the gold.
"Rod, then," continued Elliott, and started off in the wake of the two girls, but was promptly collared by Rowden. "No, you don't! Fancy a man fishing with a float and sinker when he has a fly rod in his hand! You come along!"
Carrington. "Had you ridden on too, Rupert? Or did you see what happened?" "Oh, yes; I was there," said Wiggins readily. "And the Terror found the pheasant in the wood and put it in his bicycle basket. And we had just got on our bicycles when the keeper came out of the wood, and I ran into him; and he collared me and took me up to the Court. I wasn't really frightened at least, not much."
Great wolves haunted the woods; but Godric cared nought for them; and the shingles swarmed with snakes, probably only the harmless collared snakes of wet meadows, but reputed, as all snakes are by the vulgar, venomous: but he did not object to become "the companion of serpents and poisonous asps."
He came forth into the flare of lanterns, a tall, slim, dark-faced youth, wearing dark sombrero, blouse and trousers. I collared him before any of the others could move, and I held the gun close enough to make him shrink. But he did not impress me as being frightened just then; nevertheless, he had a clammy face, the pallid look of a man who had just gotten over a shock.
"I don't think I want any of your 'Then what's. You wouldn't listen before, so why should you be told now? However, I expect I must teach you a lesson though it's too late." Rachel did not move. She heard him say that he had discovered the bank-notes at night, under the chair on the landing. "I took charge of them. I collared them, for the time being," he said.
He had to go; also the kid, who now, seeing himself again an object of interest, recommenced his howling. Then the babu began frantically to indicate members of the crowd whom he desired to retain as witnesses. Evidently not pleased with the prospect of appearing in court, those indicated promptly ducked and ran. The policeman as promptly pursued and collared them one by one.
I tied him up with a butt in the stomach, and cut through the Crescent, doubling back into the Camden Road by Batt Street. "At the Canal Bridge I looked behind me, and could see no one. I dropped the goose over the parapet, and it fell with a splash into the water. "Heaving a sigh of relief, I turned and crossed into Randolph Street, and there a constable collared me.
The man opened his eyes. "Is it possible you haven't heard?" he said. "Is she dead or alive?" I burst out, losing all patience. "Both," answered the clerk. I began not unnaturally, I think to wonder whether I was in Mr. Keller's house, or in an asylum for idiots. Returning to the hall, I collared Joseph for the second time. "Take me up to the doctor instantly!" I said.
"Thinks he knows something," muttered the little Levantine, his brown face thoughtful. "Kiddin' he do," grunted Chukkers, sucking his charm. Ikey looked after the retreating fat man. "He's collared Monkey Brand anyway," he said. "If Monkey ain't collared him," retorted the jockey.
