They stepped out and advanced to the capstan amidships, each with a hand in his trousers pocket. "Pile those bags against the capstan here, and go forrard," ordered the mate, in his most officer-like tone. "Go to the devil," they answered. "What for? they're our bags, not yours. Who in Sam Hill are you, anyhow? What are you? You talk like a p'liceman."
"Well, I shouldn't have known one omnibius, as you call it, from another," said Prudy, lost in admiration. "Why, Dotty, how bright you are! And there we were, so afraid about you, and spoke to a policeman to look you up." "I wouldn't let a p'liceman catch me," said Dotty, tossing her head. "But haven't you found Fly yet?" They were at home by this time, and Horace was ringing the bell.
So I telephoned fo' a p'liceman to come an' see if he could cotch de burglar!" "Oh, Sam, you didn't need to do that!" exclaimed Mrs. Bobbsey. "We know it wasn't your fault that the lap robe was taken, any more than it was that Mr. Bobbsey's coat was stolen." "Of course not!" echoed her husband. "Well, I t'ought better we have a p'liceman," murmured Sam.
He'd think it wouldn't be right, for a p'liceman. Well, then, he shan't get a-hold!" A few minutes later, when her patron had passed on, Apple Kate looked around and missed the children, but supposed they had followed the officer.
"An' there'd be no reward for that man he but went about talkin'," said the Kerry man artlessly. "You speak by your breed," said Dan, with a laugh. "There was never a Kerry man yet that wudn't sell his brother for a pipe o' tobacco an' a pat on the back from a p'liceman." "Praise God I'm not a bloomin' Orangeman," was the answer. "No, nor never will be," said Dan. "They breed men in Ulster.
His brown jeans overalls, riveted and suspendered, reached to bare ankles fully as brown. The overalls were provided with three pockets. Bulging one was his round tin drinking-cup which was full of worms. "Are there p'liceman in these woods?" inquired Gwendolyn. "Nope," said Johnnie. "Are there bears?" "Nope." "Are there doctors?"

At length he found words: "How did you come here, little sweetheart?" he asked. "I runned away," she returned. "I was in the Park, with Mawkins. I left her while she was talking to a p'liceman.... Oh, daddy, dear! When are we coming home? I miss you so much!" The woman moved forward, eyes upon the kneeling, soul-torn man; and upon the little child that was his. "Another advocate!" she said.
'Tis a clink job, you mind a prison business; and what's more, you 'm pleased to speak so plain that I will tu, and tell 'e this. If you dare to lift up your eyes to my child again, or stop her in the way, or have speech with her, I'll set p'liceman 'pon 'e!
Him t'ink much funny, very strange, how you can be mother of men so big, so strong, like dat p'liceman." Emily Travers kept her eyes up and unfaltering, but her cheeks were sprayed with scarlet. Little Dickensen blushed and was quite embarrassed. The policeman's face blazed with his boy's blood. "Come along, you," he said gruffly, setting his shoulder to the crowd and forcing a way.
