"By night or by day, the roads are not very safe at the present time," replied his reverence. "The danger's principally by night, though," observed the other. "This Finnerty is playing the devil, they say; and is hard to be nabbed by all accounts."
Well, at last a vessel took me off, and I wasn't sorry for it, for raw rats are not very good eating. I went home again, and I hadn't been on shore more than two hours, when who should I see but my first wife, Bet, with a robin-redbreast in tow. 'That's he! says she.

"Then how did it happen that he was not arrested?" "Micky was smart enough to drop the wallet into Dick's pocket as he was standin' before a shop winder.

"Then why didn't you tell the officer he had arrested the wrong boy?"
Now, I know a crib that's pretty safe, Birkenhead way; Mother Redcap's, we call it no one's ever been nabbed at Mother Redcap's, and if you'll come along o' me why then if you won't, go your way and be damned to you for a " This was the parting of Adrian Landale from his fellow-workers.
"Well, we've got the chink the Indian uncle sent us on Saturday. I'm certain we could do it. We'd get some one to take us out at night in one of the fishing-boats just tear across to France and buy a keg or a bale or something, and rush back." "Yes, and get nabbed and put in prison. Not me," said Dicky. "Besides, who'd take us?"
Pay me my money and take her away as quick as you can, that's my advice, or before you know it you'll be nabbed. 'Pay ye! he yelled; 'do you think I'd pay you anything for that little Jew? 'She's just as much a Christian as you are, says I. 'Ain't you a Christian, little gal? and is'nt this gentleman your father? and ain't you surprised that he wants to give you back to be put in the bag? I said this hopin' she'd have sense enough to say he was her father so's to get rid of me.
Some good fellow nabbed by a bailiff, or planted by his mistress. Signals of distress! We must assist our friends. The flame of the fire fell upon Lord Cadurcis' face as he read the letter; he was still standing, while his friend was stretched out in his easy chair, and inwardly congratulating himself on his comfortable prospects.
But we've really enough time if you don't stop anywhere else. What's the matter? Good Lord, man, you'll get nabbed if you speed up like this within limits. You " "Cut it and don't talk.
