"They're queer beggars, these Austrians, and they wouldn't be above collaring the lot if we got clear of the country with our man afore you'd got the coin out o' the bank." "And now, how to set about the work, Hinge?" "You give your orders, sir, and leave 'em to me." "Tell me what you can. Now, how about the guards? Is the prisoner's cell watched on all sides?"
It is impossible to get up a revolution or a new religion, or a national awakening of any sort, without his turning up, putting himself at the head of it and collaring all the gate-receipts for himself. Even after his death he leaves a long trail of second-rate relations spattered over the front seats of fifty years of history. Now the lives of great men are doubtless infinitely interesting.
You're the boy, sir, added John, collaring with one band, and aiding the effect of a farewell bow to the visitor with the other, 'that wants to sneak into houses, and stir up differences between noble gentlemen and their sons, are you, eh? Hold your tongue, sir. Joe made no effort to reply. It was the crowning circumstance of his degradation.

I thought to myself, 'Here's a literary man with a wooden leg, and all print is open to him! And here am I without a wooden leg, and all print is shut to me." "I believe you couldn't show me the piece of English print that I wouldn't be equal to collaring and throwing," Mr. Wegg admitted modestly. "Now I want some reading, and I must pay a man so much an hour to come and do it for me.
