The three of us could have nabbed him the minute we came in." "Tierney," replied Marsh, "there's a little girl up north that I hope to marry some day. You know her she's Atwood's daughter.

Myers, or anybody else, with the strict decorum of her boarders, and their profound attention to the service and sermon; but she felt that she had a duty to perform, and she only waited the proper time for its performance. The last hymn had been duly sung, and the boys were drifting along with the tide in the aisle towards the door, when Dabney nudged Ford with his elbow. "We're nabbed, Ford."
You can take the road and keep it, and the horse you ride will not bring you into trouble; but if that roan colt shows his nose where anybody can see it, he'll be nabbed quicker'n a flash, and his rider too. See? As I am a little more experienced in dodging about in the bushes than you are, you had better let me take the risk."
"What was that?" "The front door must have been found duly barred and bolted in the morning, and yet we let them assume that we came out that way. Nab would have pounced on the point, and by this time we might have been nabbed ourselves." It was but a little over a hundred sovereigns that Raffles had taken, and, of course, he had resolutely eschewed any and every form of paper money.
Her elders cast about in their minds for a speedy change of subject; but their somewhat scattered wits were not quick enough. It was little Kate who spoke next. "Uncle William, would she have got Uncle Cyril if Aunt Marie hadn't nabbed him first?" "Kate!" The word was a chorus of dismay this time. Mrs. Hartwell struggled to her feet. "Come, come, Kate, we must go up-stairs to bed," she stammered.
'We should 'a' cleared. We oughter clear now. We'll be nabbed if we stay. 'We'll be nabbed if we bolt, replied Rogers. 'The man as cleared now would be spotted as the guilty party, an' half the p'lice in the country 'd be up an' after him. No, here we are, an' here we stick fer better or worse. 'But if they've got the gold, why don't they do somethin'? There's no word of it.
The other fellow flew toward the dining-hall, where he was nabbed by two white uniformed men and throttled. Other men in white they were regular police officers pounced upon me, and I was a prisoner. By George, I was knocked off my feet the next minute to see old Dangloss himself come puffing and blowing into the hall, redder and fiercer than ever.
"Now we ought to hear some good old British oaths," said Jack to himself, but the silence continued. "Hullo, Alan," cried Jack through the bars, "I said you would be nabbed if you didn't leave St. Petersburg. You'll pay attention to me next time I warn you." There was no reply, and Jack became alarmed at the continued stillness, then he heard his friend mutter: "I'll be seeing visions by and by.
But his voice was very amiable as he asked: "Do any in the household know of your return?" "Devil a one," the youth answered, cheerily, and Sir Rufus would have liked to drive a knife into him for his mirth, though his spirits rose at his answer. "I thought to take my cousin by surprise, scare her with my ghost, maybe. So I came skulking through the park and ran on this good sir, who nabbed me."
Some of those Nantucket and New Bedford men, who've been brought up to it, as you may say, take it naturally, and think of nothing but the whale. I've heard of one of them boat-steerers who got ketched in a whale's mouth and didn't come out of it quite as whole as he went in.
