I heard the man groan, and I came to his assistance." "That gammon won't do," replied one of them, who was a constable; "you'll come along with us, and we may as well put on the darbies," continued he, producing a pair of handcuffs. Indignant at the insult, I suddenly broke from him who held me, and darting at the constable, knocked him down, and then took to my heels across the ploughed field.
Then he turned to the red-whiskered man, and inquired fiercely, why he hadn't put the darbies on the scoundrel. "Never you mind that," was the sharp reply. "I'm responsible for the young gentleman's safe-keeping, and that's enough." "Young gentleman! I am sure the young gentleman ought to be much obliged to you," replied Solomon, contemptuously. "Young felon, you mean."
"Yesum." "Well, what has happened to him, man? Can't you speak?" "He's took." "Took?" "Nabbed. Got the darbies on and gone South a wisitin'." "Do you mean to say that Watson has been arrested?" "I do, mam," grunted Brower. "He's well out of town, goin' South, and I reckin he'll be in Jeffe'son City before we hear from him agin. I seed him a-goin' with my own eyes." "How did it happen?"

"Now you see you are where you ought to be," repeated the ruffian, brandishing the horsewhip over him, "and now take the advice of a friend, and make no more noise. The lads are ready for you with the darbies, and they'll clink them on in the crack of this whip, unless you prefer another touch of it first."
We have come to Deil's Island." The long man, lying on his back, seemed unable to turn over upon his side, though he muttered in his stirred sleep such words as Levin could not understand: "The darbies, Patty! Make haste with them darbies! Put the nippers on her wrists an' twist 'em. Ha! the mort is dying. Well, to the garden with her!"
I saw the sergeant had a pair of darbies, and what do you suppose that Carteret's come ashore with a regular escort for?" A ten minutes' walk and Lieutenant Carteret and his men, guided by a number of natives, reached the white man's thatched dwelling, which stood amid a grove of banana and bread-fruit trees.
Jack made no answer, nor did he even cast his eyes upon his follower. But Jonathan, fixing a terrible look upon him, cried. "Ha! say you so? You must be looked to. My lads," he continued, addressing the partners; "when you've finished this job give that fellow a fresh set of darbies. I suspect he has been at work upon those he has on."
