Don't you think that you can come it easy with him he ain't the sort by a long way.
Closing the door behind him, he ran like a hare down the narrow stairs. At the door Dollops rose up like the imp in a pantomime and jumped toward him. "Law, guv'ner, I'm nigh starved a-waitin' for yer!" he said in a whisper. "Wot's the lay now? A double quick change?
"Save me," she cried, again and again, "or he will kill me." At length, by a well-planted blow, Bob sent his opponent staggering to the ground. The man was stunned for a second, but only for a second. He raised himself to his feet slowly. "All right, guv'ner, you have beaten me," he said. "It wasn't my fault; if she weren't so b obstinate, there would have been no trouble."
His companion, the angular and lanky Slim, remained silent. "I want you to answer my questions truthfully," snapped out the Westerner, "after that I'll see what I'll do with you.

"Don't be hard on us guv'ner," wailed one of them; "we didn't mean no harm." "No; it was just a little joke," protested Jimsy's prisoner, who was standing in the rays of the detached auto light, thoroughly subdued. "It's a joke that's liable to cost you dear," commented Mr. Bell.
Pull up, and you shall have your money." "Honour bright, guv'ner?" "Here it is," said Hyde, taking out the money. "It's a fair swap. Hand over the money." "No; you give up the pony first." "I shan't. That's not my way of doing business." "You shall!" cried Hyde, who had been edging up towards the sailor, and now suddenly made a grab at his leg. He caught it, and held it with an iron grip.
Mortlake said he'd make it worth our while and no, you can't stop me, Slim and then when we couldn't find the machine we was to bust up he turned us loose without a cent of the money he promised us. We was broke, and " "And so you thought you'd replenish your pockets by holding up some automobilist or traveller, eh? Humph, you're a nice pair." "You ain't goin' ter give us up guv'ner?
Shake hands on it, ole man by Harry! Guv'ner ought to be here glad to see you. Great fren's with the men, guv'ner labor an' capital, commun'ty 'f int'rests, an' all that hic! Funny things happen in this world, don't they, ole man? Hamilton, lemme interduce you fren' the family ole fren' the guv'ner's works in the yards.
