They'll get that out o' hand with their own glory, they'll get shootin' up creation in the name of religion by way o' pastime, and robbin' the stages an' smugglin' liquor fer the fun o' gettin' around this blamed church an' braggin' of it to the parson.
"You take " he looked round the room "You take the wastepaper basket to put over his head an' an' pin down his arms an' somethin' to tie him up! I know the skin I he shot in Africa. You can tie its paws in front of him. Come on! Let's catch him smugglin'."
"No, that it ain't, my friend," said Coleman, rising and patting his foe on the back. "I can't tell ye how pleased I am to meet with ye. You're gettin' stouter, I think. Smugglin' seems to agree with ye! hey?" He said this with a leer, and Bax laughed as he inspected Long Orrick more narrowly.
Go to it, you terriers swim for the shore, boys, and good luck to you all. Our job'll be to pick up the rum-boat with her juicy cargo, an' hand her over to some Government official Jack knows about around these diggings. High low Jack an' the smugglin' game that spells the hull thing I kinder guess!"
He was interrupted by a loud laugh from Big Swankie, who quickly recovered his presence of mind, and declared that he had never tasted such capital stuff in his life. "Have ye much o't, sir?" "O yes, a good deal. "Ha!" exclaimed Davy Spink, "there's no doot plenty o't in the coves hereaway, for they're an awfu' smugglin' set. Whan did ye find the twa kegs, noo, if I may ask?" "Oh, certainly.
'Better still, says I; 'perhaps you've hearn tell, too, that greasin' the axle, makes a gig harder to draw, for there's jist about as much sense in that. 'Well then, says he, 'others say it's smugglin' has made us so poor. 'That guess, said I, 'is most as good as t'other one; whoever found out that secret ought to get a patent for it, for it's worth knowin'. Then the country has grown poorer, hasn't it, because it has bought cheaper this year, than it did the year before?
Indeed, one can hardly call it life in the full sense of the word; it was mere existence, as far as we can see." "Let's hope that life has begun for him at last," I said reverently. "I have little doubt of that," replied the priest. "My enemy's dog, Though he had bit me, should have stood that night Against my fire." "Aebody kent Davie Forbes wes tarrible at the smugglin'," said Willy.
The nearer we got to the big house, though, the battier the enterprise seemed to me. First off, I'd been nursin' a dislike for Mrs. Steele ever since I'd overheard a little séance between her and one of the outside men. She'd caught him smugglin' home a few measly vegetables from her big garden, and after tongue lashin' him lively she fires him on the spot him a poor Dago with a big fam'ly.
I'm told that Boney tried to get all the gold out o' this country, by payin' three shillings more than each guinea was worth for it, but that seems unreasonable to me. Hows'ever, although I never could rightly understand it, there is no doubt that some of our lads were consarned in smugglin' guineas across the channel, and two or three of 'em made a good thing of it.
You see that old sinner Jeph refuses pint-blank to let me use his `hide; he's become such a hypocrite that he says he won't encourage smugglin'." "Well, wot then?" inquired Rodney Nick. "W'y, I means to make 'im give in," returned Long Orrick. "An' s'pose he won't give in?" suggested Rodney. "Then I'll cut his throat," replied Orrick, fiercely. "Then I'll have nothin' to do with it."
