"They doo say," said old Durgan, the landlord, who had maintained a respectful silence during the technical conversation, "as there's no less than three p'licemen from 'Azelworth on dewty every night in the house 'count of this Lady Aveling 'n her jewellery. One'm won fower-and-six last night, off second footman tossin'."
Daddles, "there's no one left in there but the policemen, and you can't wake them up from here." "P'licemen?" queried the fat man. "Whatcher talkin' about?" asked the man with the pitchfork. "I'm talking about the two policemen who are getting their eight hours in the library," Mr. Daddles replied, "Poor things! I hope we didn't disturb them."
"It doesn't matter now," she said, a hint of triumph in her voice. "I've found out that P'licemen are nice. And so are are Doctors" she dimpled and nodded. "And all the bears in the world that are outside of cages are just Puffy Bears grown up." Then uncertainly, "But I didn't find out about the other." "What other?" asked her father, pausing in his walk. The gray eyes were diamond-bright now.
"Not even p'licemen?" "Not even policemen! They are my friends and they are your friends, too. Their business is to look after little children." Josie smiled her friendly smile. "Well, Cousin Dink was skeered to death of p'licemen an' she was a great deal bigger'n you." "Was she really? What did she think policemen would do to her?" asked Josie. "Git her!"

How do the lawyers an' p'licemen get their living?" "That's news. I hoped to save Miller Lyddon all such trouble." "Why not try another way, an' see if you can get the auld gentleman to forgive 'e?" "Not him. He'll have the law in due time." "Well, I'm 'mazin' sorry I caan't oblige 'e, for I'm sure we'd be gude friends, an' you'd cheer us all up butivul."
If you also got a umbrella, why, just you make a combine o' the two an' aim for the bull's eye, though his nose will do just as good, specially if it's the bleedin' v'riety. No! P'licemen ain't what I'd reckmend, for bein' called to the resquer. In the first place, they ain't ap' to be there. An', besides, they wouldn't know what to do if they was. P'licemen is funny that way.
P'licemen and Indian chiefs, and oh, heaps of things, and I didn't really mind 'em, either, but then I'm braver than " "Sh!" interrupted Ann, stopping and catching at Rudolf's arm. "I hear something something queer. Listen!" Rudolf listened. "I don't hear anything," he said at last. "What was it like?" "Oh, such a creepy, crawly sound, and Oh, Ruddy there is a face see it?
