I was plumb scared to death a-listenin' ter you through the crack in the kitchen door. I 'lowed every minute they'd ketch you, sure. My Lord-A'mighty! ma'm, can't you-all figger what'll happen ter weuns if they ever finds out that weuns done had him hid right here in this here house all the time? I never heard tell of such dad burned, fool doin's in all my born days!
"Do you suppose he could ketch a rabbit, no matter how fast he ran?" "Come, now," said the bishop, "he wasn't trying to do that?" "He was either doin' that, or else he was runnin' away.
"My lord, I couldn't bring out any others," returned Ketch, in a tone that longed to betray its resentment, and would have betrayed it to any one but a bishop. "I haven't no others to bring, my lord. The two keys hang up on the nail always, and there ain't another key besides in the house, except the door key."
"And this here is something that I reckon ye won't go to law about," the showman went on, ominously, "even if you have got a lawyer in the family. You ketch, don't you?" The unhappy second selectman realized his situation, sighed, and pried a slat off the crate. His nomination was more sanguine than he.
"Break 'is bleedin' neck," said Chook as he stepped up. "When I want yer advice, I'll ask fer it," cried Stinky. "Yer'll git it now without askin'," said Chook. "Don't open yer mouth so wide, or yer'll ketch cold." "I don't want ter talk ter anybody as 'awks rotten cabbages through the streets," cried Stinky. "The cabbages don't stink worse than some people I've met," Chook replied.
"I'd like ter see the hoss on this place that could ketch the lieutenant's black mare. Oh, why didn't I shoot the nigger?" and the soldier strode up and down as if demented. "You deserve to be shot yourself, sir, if you, who had been placed on guard, permitted that black rascal to take the horses."
The most difficult part of the business had been old Ketch; but that was managed. The moonlight shone peacefully on the Boundaries, and the conspirators were stealing up, by ones and twos, to their place of meeting, round the dark trunks of the elm trees. Fine as it was overhead, it was less so under-foot.
But you go out with a gas-pipe gun an' ketch the little peacockses or somethin'. You kin get one day's leave easy as winkin'. Go along an' get it, an' get peacockses or somethin'.

Some delay ensued, as our squadron was driven by severe gales from the Tripolitan coast; but at last, in January, 1804, Preble gave orders to Decatur to undertake the work for which he had volunteered. A small vessel known as a ketch had been recently captured from the Tripolitans by Decatur, and this prize was now named the Intrepid, and assigned to him for the work he had in hand.
The yacht swung lightly over the choppy water, and a strong affection for the ketch that had been his home, his occupation, his solace through the past dreary years expanded his heart. He knew the Gar's every capability and mood, and they were all good. She was an exceptional boat. His feeling was acute, for he knew that the yacht had been superseded.
