Do you think that you were doing well in being in my garden about midnight in company with such a fellow as that, one of the most notorious jailbirds in the county? Do you know that I could have had you arrested and sent to prison at once?" "I know you couldn't do nothing of the kind." "You know this, Sam, that I've no wish to do it; that nothing would give me more pain than doing it.
An' boss, ef yuh gut dat ere fish handy I cud kerry hit wid me right now," remarked the strapping leader. "Get it, Thad," said Maurice, in a low tone, not wishing to take his eye off the trio of desperadoes for a moment, not knowing what they might attempt, for if ever he had seen jailbirds loose it was just then.
The sepoys had worked themselves up to a frenzy of excitement; the prisoners were released with a host of jailbirds; the native infantry joined the native cavalry, and the colonel of one of the regiments was shot by the sepoys of the other.
Five years went by, and twelve uncouth creatures stood before Henry the Fourth, clad in shaggy skins, and with long, unkempt beards. They were the remnant of La Roche's jailbirds. He had at last gained a hearing from the King, and a vessel had been sent to Sable Island to bring home the survivors of his party. What a story they told!
"I wouldn't brag about that kind of political power, when you can use it to make notaries out of jailbirds. That must be a nice bunch you have up at your State House!" "On your way!" Again the cane swished in front of Farr's face. "I beg your pardon, madam," apologized Farr, bowing to the girl.
Why, I was naturally bright; I might have been a man to honor. But a bad habit, uncontrolled, soon ruins one. My nerves are gone. I am only a fit companion for jailbirds and criminals. I cannot even look an honest man in the face, yet I am not naturally bad at heart. The best way is never to begin; then you will never have to suffer.
"Eh! what?" ejaculated the general, in surprise, scarcely believing what he heard. "These men all Yankees?" "Yes, sir; every one of them." "A nice-looking set, surely a fine lot of jailbirds you are." "So I have been feeding a lot of tyrants instead of loyal Confederate soldiers," said Mrs. Le Dell, while the sisters gazed at the young hero with contempt pictured in their faces.
Sure enough Shack quickly lowered his head as he pushed a stick into the fire, and Max heard his whisper, which naturally gave him something of a thrill. "Jailbirds, I sure reckons they be!" was what Shack said. "What makes you think so?" asked Max.
And before him in review passed a motley company of every tragic group that he had ever known business associates, jailbirds, the inmates of Fairview, Storch's terrible companions. He recognized each group in its turn by their outer trappings.
My investigation was to find out how many civil service reformers and how many politicians were in state prisons. I discovered that there was forty per cent more civil service reformers among the jailbirds. If any legislative committee wants the detailed figures, I'll prove what I say.
