They'd have had to kidnap him with a derrick." "I never thought of that," said Sam. "Perhaps that's the real reason they selected him. I shouldn't wonder." "Of course it was," responded Cleary. "What sort of a chap was the one with the V.C. next to you?" asked Sam. "A fine fellow," said Cleary.
It occurred to me later that evening how risky it was for the President of the United States to be so unprotected without a guard of any kind in that out-of-the-way place, and I expressed something of this to him, suggesting that some one might "kidnap" him. "Oh," he answered, slapping his hand on his hip pocket, "I go armed, and they would have to be mighty quick to get the drop on me."
Thus, to save a life, it may not only be allowable, but a duty, to steal, or take by force, the necessary food or medicine, or to kidnap, and compel to officiate, the only qualified medical practitioner.
"Lemme kidnap you to-night and give the old hag the surprise of her life when she wakes up and finds you stolen. I'm some little kidnapper when it comes to kidnapping, I am, kiddo. Say, wouldn't I like to take you riding all wrapped up in a fur coat with nothing but your cute little face sticking out." "Aw, you're just fooling me." "Fooling! Lemme prove it, to-night.
'You do belong to me, Bobby, and we'll find a corner for you somewhere; but I mustn't kidnap you in this fashion. I'll take you back to your grandmother, and talk to her about it. She'll be alarmed about you. Bobby began to cry again in an agitated fashion. 'I can't go back! Me and Nobbles won't! If you take me back I'll be punished.
"Did you not arrive upon the scene in advance?" "Yes, a few moments before the assault." "Then why did you not prevent it altogether?" "I hadn't the heart to do it. I wanted to give my men and myself that much satisfaction. I wanted to see how my companions would do their duty. Besides, although I had promised not to kidnap Bouchette, I did not promise that I would not give him a good scare."
This latest attempt to seize them or harm them if it was that had been surprisingly inept. It was strange that creatures able to travel between the stars and put regiments and tanks out of action should fail so dismally to kill or kidnap Coburn, if they really wanted to. Could it be that they were not quite sincere in their efforts? "That," said the authoritative voice, "is an idea!"
Back to your places." The lads retired. Now Duval rose and addressed the others. "Since our last meeting it has been decided not to kidnap the President," he said slowly. Exclamations of disappointment escaped the men sitting about. "But," continued Duval, "there nevertheless will be work for some of us that will mean additional gold for all." Cries of satisfaction greeted this statement.
He had just destroyed one of their famous knights and before that he had killed Lichtenstein. Those dog-blooded men loved vengeance. That thought made the old knight very uneasy. It also occurred to him that Zbyszko, being quick tempered, would engage in a fight with some German; or what he most feared was that they would kidnap him as they had old Jurand and his daughter.
However, if so, why were these people accomplices of Hobart no doubt fleeing in the yacht, seeking to conceal their identity in an effort to disappear? What were they fleeing from? Why were they so fearful of discovery by the police? What would cause them to kidnap him, merely on suspicion that he was a friend of Natalie Coolidge? The very act was proof positive of the desperation of their crime.
