'The only fine quality I've ever seen in him, said Dallas, 'is his habit of slinking off in the afternoons when he ought to be playing games, and not coming back till lock-up. 'Which brings us back to where we started, put in the Babe. 'You were wondering what he did with himself. 'Yes, it can't be anything good so we'll put beetles and butterflies out of the question right away.
"Well," said one of the officers, "put him in the lock-up' and investigate in the morning; we won't want to start until then, after the tramp he's given us. Oh, Bay Billy, you're a smart one no mistake about that. Why in thunder don't you use your smartness in the right way? there's more money in business than in cracking cribs."
My launch has run out of gasolene and we have been drifting about the bay since five o'clock. Now, for heaven's sake, don't talk any more, but take us to the lock-up and be quick about it." The unknown paid no attention to my entreaty. Instead he leaned still further over the Comfort's rail. The dory careened until I expected to see her capsize. "I swan to man!" he muttered. "I swan to man!
"Well," a little confusedly, "I pasted a Graustark baggage-smasher down in d' yards two weeks ago, an' dey had me up. I proved d' feller insulted a lady, an' old Dangloss let me off, sayin' I'd ought to have a medal. Dese guys are great on gallantry when ladies is concerned. If it hadn't been fer dat, I'd be in d' lock-up now. An' say, you ought to see d' lock-up!

"I say, Bruce," he said, "I really am most awfully obliged for the lift.
On entering the capital, Bouzille's extraordinary equipage had caused quite a sensation, and as the worthy fellow, with utter disregard of the heavy traffic in the city, had careered about in it through the most crowded streets, he had very soon been run in and taken to the nearest lock-up.

And, besides, it was long odds that Thompson, the Sixth Form master, would not have the notes, as he had dictated them partly out of his head and partly from the works of various eminent scholars. The second course was out of the question.
The turnkey weighed the gold and looked sharp at Glossin. 'Ay, ay, Mr. Glossin, ye ken the ways o' this place. Lookee, at lock-up hour I'll return and bring ye upstairs to him.
A wild scene followed, but in the midst of it Dan whispered to the boy: 'Get away, and hold your tongue. Don't mind me. Frightened and bewildered, Blair quitted the city at once, leaving Dan to pass the night in the lock-up, and a few days later to stand in court charged with manslaughter; for the man was dead.
