"I did, sir," came the answer in a meek voice, as if he had been detected in filching an apple from a stand; "and I would do it again do it over and over again. And it has been a great pleasure for me to do it. I might say, sir, that it has been a kind of exTREME bliss to do it." "Why?" There was a tremor now in Temple's voice that even Todd had never noticed before. Gadgem turned his head away.
And you know that he did not talk as mildly as he does in the church, when he found Frank and yourself quietly filching a few of his peaches through the orchard fence. But your clergyman will say perhaps, with what seems to you quite unnecessary coldness, that goodness is not to be reckoned in your chances of safety; that there is a Higher Goodness, whose merit is All-Sufficient.
And I have myself seen several so habituated to this quality that even amongst their comrades they could not forbear filching, though with intent to restore what they had taken. I am a Gascon, and yet there is no vice I so little understand as that; I hate it something more by disposition than I condemn it by reason; I do not so much as desire anything of another man's.
While she gloried in her skill in filching from the pig what would serve the chickens, in making Jenny go short to save to-day's baking of havre-bread, in skimping Tim's bowl of porridge his appetite being a burden on her estate which she often declared would break her she had more than once given a hundred pounds at a blow to build a raft for a poor drowning wretch who must otherwise have sunk.
Then Harry told nearly all that he knew about Shepard, but not all that struggle in the river, and his sparing of the spy and the filching of the map at the Curtis house, for instance and the commander-in-chief listened with great attention. "A bold man, uncommonly bold, and it appears uncommonly skilled, too.
If I engage in a lawsuit, that will be the first fruit that those famous Poplars, which were mine and which now, as I understand, belong to everybody, will have ever produced me, for Licurgo, as well as some of the other farmers of the district, have been filching from me, little by little, year after year, pieces of land, and it will be very difficult to re-establish the boundaries of my property."
Lest I be misunderstood, let me say here that under the head of necessities of life I do not mean a new model automobile each year, moving pictures, mechanical substitutes for music or any other art, and the thousand catch-trade devices that appear each year for the purpose of filching business from another or establishing a new desire in the already over-crowded imaginations of an over-stimulated populace.
"But I have been told," continued the young man, "that some of the neighboring proprietors have put their ploughs in these estates of mine, and that, little by little, they are filching them from me. Here there are neither landmarks nor boundaries, nor real ownership, Senor Licurgo."
Slowly they came up and drew attention to themselves, silently filching it from Broadway's emblems of business success.
England has a wonderful system of bookkeeping and bureaucraft there are spies upon spies, and checks and counterchecks, so that filching a large sum from the Bank of England has been a trick never so far successfully turned. England's share in this transaction was not dishonorable that is to say, to buy a man is not so bad as to sell one. All she did was to hire strike-breakers.
