The sound of steps was heard on the side porch, and in came Sam, quite excited. "'Scuse me!" he murmured, as he entered. "Oh, de p'liceman done come!" he exclaimed. "He's heah! I'm glad!" "Did you expect him?" asked Mr. Bobbsey. "Yes, sah, Mr. Bobbsey, I did! When de lap robe was gone I t'ought maybe you t'ink I might 'a' been careless like, an' let some chicken t'ieves in.
"Hi! p'liceman murder! fire! thieves! there's another jolly row downstairs." Poor George Lovegrove gazed in bewilderment from Serena to the parrot, from the parrot to his wife, and then back to Serena again. "You do surprise me! And I am more mortified than I can say that you should have the most distant reason, Serena or Susan either ever to feel the least slighted in this house.
After all this unpleasantness, it is much better for me to be alone." "Good-bye, girlie, poor old girlie. Hi! p'liceman, bring a four- wheeler," shrieked the parrot, as Serena opened and closed the dining- room door, flapping wildly in the sunshine till the sand and seed husks on the floor of its cage arose and whirled upwards in a crazy little cloud.
Dey lives in under de back porch," said Arabella. "In a box." "Cats do so live in stables, 'cause I done seen 'em!" declared Jeff. "An' dey catches rats an' mice. I's gwine make a stable fo' my cat whut I done got at de fire an' de p'liceman didn't see me!" and he laughed as he thought of how he had fooled the officer. Jeff hunted around in the woodpile until he found what he wanted.
"I kind o' feel, Mira," he said presently, "th' Inspector's got feelin's some bigger'n that furrin sign he faces every day over his desk, 'maintins he drut, ur suthin' like that. He's a bully P'liceman, but he's a bully sight better friend, I'm gamblin'. Have any trouble this trip?" She threw aside her melancholy. "The two corrals this side of the Red Deer are falling to pieces.
"Bring a lamp," shouted Grimbal, and a moment later his groom obeyed; but the fallen man was sitting up by the time John reached him, and the gun that had exploded was at his feet. "You 'm tu late by half a second," he gasped. "I fired myself when I seed the muzzle clear. Poachin' he was, but the man 's marked all right. Send p'liceman for Sam Bonus to-morrer, an' I lay you'll find a picter."
So after she was gone, we ran down to the gate to watch her, and what do you think? Just as she turned the corner, there was a cop " "A what, Peace?" "I mean a p'liceman, coming along with his club swinging around his hand, and when the beggar woman saw him, she straightened up as stiff and starchy as anybody could be, and hustled off down the street 'most as quick as I can walk.
"Yes, seh, anybody coulda had that man when Ah found him," averred Clem; "anybody could 'a' had him fo' th' askin'. A p'liceman offaseh neahly git him yes, seh. But Ah seen him befo' that, an' Ah speaks his notice by sayin', 'This yeh ain' no good place to sleep, on this yeh hahd stone sidewalk.
Jeff, who was dirty and ragged, watched his chance. He had come from his home in a tenement house, not far from the fire, and his eyes glistened when he saw so many toys out on the street. "Um-ah! Jest look at 'em!" murmured Jeff. "Golly! I kin git one as easy as not outen dat open box! Wait till dat p'liceman turns around." Jeff watched his chance. The policeman on guard moved off to one side.
She feared him because Jane had often threatened her with his coming; and, secondly, because he wore, hanging from his belt, a cudgel long and heavy and thick. How that cudgel glistened in the sunlight as it swung to and fro by a thong! "Worse than a a p'liceman?" she faltered. "Policeman? Yes!" "Than the p'liceman that's that's always hanging around here?"
