Bill and Flam were now slipped by the natives, and in another moment they were barking around him.
True, some of the chaps talked a bit queer to me at times; but I thought 'twas all a bit of a flam; but, howsomever, one fine night my Yankee gentleman and the new hands takes the ship.
As Dick unfastened the coat there was a faint, gleam of light from the constable's belt, which shone on Dick's chest. "From the barracks, eh?" said the constable, surlily. "Humph! Well, I'm sure I don't know what to say. You may be London burglars, and putting a clever flam on me." "Do people go burgling with flutes?" said Dick, angrily.
Lyad laughed. "You're a little too eager. And much too docile, Trigger! Considering what's in that handbag, it's not at all likely it will detonate if we brightly hand it to you and let you start pressing.
