T' 'gang fled up t' hill like coneys; and Hobbs and his folks carried off a bag o' money; but t' oud tumbledown place is just a heap o' brick and mortar; an' t' furniture is smoulderin' int' ashes; and, best of a', t' men is free, and will niver be cotched wi' a fire-bell again.
"'Did you go after her? "'Yes; but she cotched it afore I cotched her. "'How was that, Sam? "'Why, she wanted to sarve him the same way, with an officer of the Russian Guards, and Mahomet caught her, sewed her up in a sack, and throwed her neck and crop into the Bosphorus, to fatten eels for the Greek ladies to keep Lent with.

"From de yacht, ob course, Massah Dick. But but dis knocks dis niggah, suah! I dun fink yo' was on dat udder ship." "I was on it, but I escaped yesterday, while the schooner lay in the river yonder."

Besides, the horses were so tired with all their running about, that they had to have a rest.
I only wish they'd cotched Boucher, and had him up before Hamper. I see th' oud tiger setting on him! would he ha' let him off? Not he! 'Mr. Thornton was right, said Margaret.

Was they goin' t' hang Skipper Jim if they cotched him?" "Was we?" asked Skipper Billy. "By God," he roared, "we is!" "My God!" Docks whispered, staring deep into the skipper's eyes, "they was goin' t' hang the skipper!"

'Tommy, b'y, says the cook, 'you cotched cold stowin' the jib in the squall day afore yesterday. I'll be givin' you a dose o' pain-killer an' pepper.
