"I don't know what they suspect," he reflected; "I can't make them out, their whole behaviour is thoroughly unbusiness-like. But it doesn't matter; all's up with everything. The money has been paid; the police are on the scent; in two hours that idiot Pitman will be nabbed and the whole story of the dead body in the evening papers."
"It's out in the papers," said Tuttle in reply, taking two copies of an evening edition from his pocket. "It seems a first wife of Mr. Fairfax has nabbed him, up at White Plains. But he's crazy, so she'll put him away." For the first time in all the scene Dorothy spoke. She merely said, "Thank Heaven!" A month had flown to the bourne whence no summer charms return.
King struck a match and held it out, so the sentence was unfinished; the first few puffs of the astonishing cigar wiped out all memory of the missing word. And then King changed the subject.

She was nabbed with one of the men at a hotel. The other man got away. He was on the passenger list as George Ritchie, of Cleveland, Ohio. The woman had half a dozen photographs of him in her possession. I've got a copy of one of 'em in my pocket now, and it's so much like this fellow Thane that you'd swear it was of the same man.
Maybe I'd better skirmish around a little, instead of running the risk of being nabbed before I can have an explanation. I want a little private talk with aunt, alone, if I can get it."

'I don't feel like myself when you lay that withered old claw on my shoulder, so take it away, said Sikes, casting off the Jew's hand. 'It make you nervous, Bill, reminds you of being nabbed, does it? said Fagin, determined not to be offended. 'Reminds me of being nabbed by the devil, returned Sikes.
She never came home agin. Bear nabbed her, and tore her most ridiculous. He eat what he wanted, which was no trifle, I can tell you, and left the rest till next time. "Don't talk to me, Squire, about merits. We all want a lift in this world; sunthin' or another to lay hold on, to help us along we want the cow's tail. He'll fetch her home safe at last, and no mistake, depend on it, Squire.
And Didine once out of the way," he went on, talking to himself, "I will treat Maman Cardot to a call and a novelette: I have seduced her Felicie at Saint-Eustache Felicie, guilty through passion, bears in her bosom the pledge of our affection and larifla, fla, fla! the father Ergo, the notary, his wife, and his daughter are caught, nabbed "
"Did you think for a moment I'd let myself be nabbed by that yap from Scotland Yard? Were you banking on that? I give you my faith I ambled out under his very nose! ...
