Hows'ever, that's neither here nor there. You want me to accept of half a guinea. 'We want to know said Mr. Wardle.
"I don't care," said the uncouth scribe. "They didn't break in for that. They never thought of scragging her. The foolish old person would make a noise, and one of them tied too tight. I call it jolly bad luck on them." "On quiet, harmless, well-behaved thieves," added Lord Thornaby, "in the unobtrusive exercise of their humble avocation."

Winton had cleared for action as the Form poured out like puppies at play and was scragging Beetle. Stalky from behind collared Winton low. The three fell in confusion.
"I only opened the door of the boot-box, and helped drag him in. I had nothing to do with the scragging. Branscombe did all that himself, and Clipstone hung to his legs." It needed all the self-control of the three prefects to refrain from an exclamation of astonishment at this wonderful disclosure. "Are you telling the truth?" demanded Ainger.
"Take this to Mademoiselle Gournay-Martin," said Lupin, handing it to Bonavent. Bonavent took the letter, turned, and had taken one step towards the door when Lupin sprang. His arm went round the detective's neck; he jerked him backwards off his feet, scragging him.
