'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.
"It was the p'liceman what brung me here, but I'll bet 'twas her axed him to," he whispered, thus showing how angry were his thoughts, and how greatly he needed the training that the teacher stood ready to give. His mother had not dared to keep him at home, although she needed his help.
'Totty ain't no need of charms! piped Tilly, with sweets in her mouth. 'She knows who she's going to marry. 'Do I, miss? Totty exclaimed, scornfully. 'Do you know as much for yourself, I wonder? 'Oh, Tilly's a-going to marry the p'liceman with red hair as stands on the Embankment! came from Mrs. Allchin; whereupon followed inextinguishable laughter.
If you'll give me that drug store Teeter's Pharmacy, corner of Hill Street and Twenty-ninth Avenue, I'll have them go after Saint John, so's he can come and get me out of here. A what? Policeman? Are you a p'liceman? No, I ain't one, and I don't want one! Do you s'pose I want to be 'rested for getting bit? Oh, dear, I don't know what you are trying to say! Ain't you central?
Gwendolyn, pondering, now watched the nurse, now looked across to where, on its shelf, was poised the toy somersault man. If one of the uniformed men she dreaded was heels over head "But, Jane." "Well? Well?" "I saw the p'liceman walking on his feet yesterday." "Hush your silly talk!" Gwendolyn hushed, her gray eyes wistful, her mouth drooping. The morning had been so peaceful.
With that Peter set up such a yell as had never been heard before in the Hathaway garden. He flung himself in Polly's arms and burst into a storm of tears. "I ain't gonter be no preacher! I I am gonter be a p'liceman. I don't want to be 'dopted. That's what I git for lettin' you wash my face, Polly." He picked up a handful of dirt and smeared it over his face.
"We'll talk more about the Bolton County Fair another day!" As he was carrying the smaller children up to bed, a style of travel the little twins loved, there came a ring at the front door bell. Dinah, who answered, came back to say: "Dere's a p'liceman outside whut wants to see yo', Mr. Bobbsey." "A policeman?" "Yas, sah!" "A policeman for me?" "Yas, sah!" "Dear me!" Mr. Bobbsey murmured.
I see him come scramblin' over the back gate and was a-goin' to stop him thinkin' it was th' orficer here w'en I sees it is a tubby little chap, not big like the Captain. And then it come over me quite sudden-like that burglary and murder had been done in the house and wot would I say if a p'liceman come along? So I slipped off and went as hard as I could go back to the old Union Jack Club.
"Oh, that's so!" exclaimed Bert, following what his sister said. "Maybe the policeman has come to bring back your lost coat, Daddy!" "I hope he has," said Mr. Bobbsey. "Not only do I not want to lose the coat, for a suit of clothes isn't of much use without a coat, but I don't like to lose the money and papers." "No, sah, Mr. Bobbsey, de p'liceman didn't hab no coat," said Dinah.
And you always come just this way 'cause it's nice and convenient for Lambeth Road, ain't it? I've a good mind to call a p'liceman and give you in charge for stopping me in the street!" "Well, did ever anybody hear such a thing as this?" exclaimed Mr. Parish, faint in voice and utterly at a loss for protestations at all effective.
