Dunster did say he thought it was something important, only like an ass I thought it would do if I came over at lockup." "It doesn't matter," said Jellicoe miserably; "it can't be helped." "Yes, it can," said Mike. "I know what I'll do it's all right. I'll get out of the house after lights-out." Jellicoe sat up. "You can't! You'd get sacked if you were caught." "Who would catch me?
Mebbe I'd be lucky enough to ketch Hen too, an' if so, nobody in the village'd wear mournin'! So fur, I can't get Maria's consent to be a cendenary. She says she can't spare me long enough to go to jail; she needs me to work durin' the summer, an' in the winter time she'd hev nobody to jaw, if I was in the lockup."
If we were to try to punish these insolent varlets we should have them on us like a swarm of bees, and should doubtless get worsted in the encounter, and might even find ourselves hauled off to the lockup, and that would be a nice tale for Master Lirriper to carry back to Hedingham."

"When one of my chums upset that bench by accident, and the pans fell with a racket, of course it gave the whole thing away, and we started to run; but unfortunately I happened to drop into your nice little trap, and you found me upside down.
