If it were not for a few erections more like ordinary human habitations, the place might have passed for a gigantic rabbit-warren. As we drove through we saw some of the villagers engaged in slaughtering calves and sheep in the middle of the road, the blood running down into a self-made gutter; it was a sickening sight.
Black Dick could tell a good deal, but he wasn't in all the secrets, and they say Marner is really the head of the band and had a finger in pretty nigh every robbery through the country. All those taken in his place are also in Newgate, and they say the constables are searching the city like ferrets in a rabbit-warren, and that several other arrests have been made."
There is a rabbit-warren on the north-east of the island, belonging to the Duke of Argyle. Young Col intends to get some hares, of which there are none at present. There are no black-cock, muir-fowl , nor partridges; but there are snipe, wild-duck, wild-geese, and swans, in winter; wild-pidgeons, plover, and great number of starlings; of which I shot some, and found them pretty good eating.
And Spurge says that at the back of this quay there's a perfect rabbit-warren of courts and alleys, and if or, rather as they've escaped into that eh?" The detectives who had accompanied Sir Cresswell on the interrupted expedition to the old tower and who had now followed him and his companions in a second car and arrived in time to hear Copplestone's story, looked at each other.
The back, Guv'nor! and Lord bless you, at the back o' this shanty there's a perfect rabbit-warren o' places more by token, they call it the Warren. If they've got in there, why, all the police in Norcaster'll never find 'em leastways, I mean, to speak truthful, not without a deal o' trouble." "What about upstairs?" asked Copplestone.
And whoever did this can't be far away only the night's that black, and there's so many holes and corners hereabouts that it would be like searching a rabbit-warren you'll have to get help from the town." "Aye, to be sure!" he agreed. "But we'll take a view of things ourselves, first. There may be effects on him that'll suggest something."
He was coming along from the direction of Scarhaven, and when he got abreast of the tower he pulled up, got out, left his pony to crop the grass and came strolling over in my direction. Of course, I wasn't afraid of him there's so many ways in and out of that old peel as there is out of a rabbit-warren besides, I felt certain he was there on some job of his own.
If you want peace in the rabbit-warren, you must banish either the rats or the rabbits; and I suppose either the Protestants or the Papists must have it their own way here. 'Then you mean to capture this man? 'We do we are determined on that. And, what's more, I'd hang him if I had the power. 'And why? 'Just because he isn't a bad fellow!
If H'yemba has stolen him it's certain the boy is hidden beyond my present power in some far recess of the inter-communicating rabbit-warren of caves below there in the cliff. "I feel positive no bodily harm will be done the child. H'yemba will hold him for power over me. He will try to exact terms even to leadership in the colony, even to possession of Beatrice.
In the last generation they tried to bolt me with a bishop: like putting a ferret into a rabbit-warren, you know. Nothing came of that, and lately the Psychical Society attempted to ascertain my weight by an ingenious mechanism. But they prescribed nothing, and made me feel so nervous that I was rapping at large, and knocking furniture about for months.
