My pal bolted and got off; Bob and I got 'copt, and as we had first-class tools on us, new to the authorities here, they have given it us rather hot." Policeman. Caught. "Do you think you could have opened the safe? I understand those patent locks are very difficult to pick," I remarked. "Oh!" said he, "I would not waste time trying to pick the lock.
Some workhouses are better than this; but then when you steal you are not always caught, and you have yourself to blame if you're 'copt. I will steal the very first chance I get, as soon as I get out at the gates. They won't give me work I can make a living at, and I'll not starve nor want a single meal.
"An Alexandrine Copt gave me that," he said, watching its effect with satisfaction. "He told me he had gotten it from a temple papyrus, and that it was undoubtedly one of the lost perfumes of Punt, used by the higher priesthood in their mysteries. Once a year he sends me such a tiny vial as you see. I could hardly have survived my searchings in this house, without that saving perfume.
I simply had to finish it, and I did. It was a rather bigger job than the sheikh's tomb racket, though of course that was on the cards, too. Everything's all right now; but I spent last night in getting the full details of an Arab plot to blow up the house of a rich Copt, who's been of great service to the Government.
Since we shall be the only people there! Then he goes out by the door to the right. "You're so artistic," my cousin Eleanor Copt began. Of all Eleanor's exordiums it is the one I most dread.
On a cannon being fired, the Abyssinians, excited by the prospect of a large booty, rushed down the hill. His Majesty commanded the artillery, which was served by Abyssinian workmen, under the direction of a Copt, the former servant of the Bishop, and of Lij Engeddah Wark, the son of a converted Bengal Jew.
"I'm awfully obliged to you for telling me this; but perhaps you won't mind my asking you not to mention our talk to Miss Copt? It might bother her, you know, to think the picture isn't exactly up to the mark; and it won't make a rap of difference to me." Mr. Rose left me to a sleepless night. The next morning my resolve was formed, and it carried me straight to Mrs. Fontage's.
For instance you can have your place where you work so blocked up that before anyone can enter, you will have time to destroy all your dies and tools; and melt or 'plant' your metal, and without them they cannot convict you. I know a bloke in Birmingham now, who was getting up Scotch one pound notes when I was 'copt, and he is a capital hand at the trade.
How, under a burning sun, men of those now-despised races could raise structures so mighty and so vast in number; how the ancestors of the now-wretched Copt, of the wandering Bedouin, of the effete Persian, of the dreamy Hindoo, could display such mental vigor and such physical endurance as the remains of their architectural skill and even of their literature plainly show, is a mystery which no one has hitherto attempted to solve.
It is not the fear of death rationally considered; but an irrational physical instinct which all men possess, but which almost all can control. SCENE. A dug-out in a wood somewhere in Flanders. Officers at tea. HANCOCK. Damned glad to be out of that infernal firing trench, anyway. Wonder who's copt it this time! SMITH. For Christ's sake talk about something else!
