The mention of Dresden had thrown a sudden light on the situation. It was Wilfrid the Attache, a very superior young man, who rarely came within their social horizon, whom they had been entertaining unawares in the supposed character of Wilfrid the Snatcher.
"Snatcher's going to pull through, missy. 'Twas a car did hit he," he added, "and I saw the chap who was in it. I saw him, and I saw him laugh when Snatcher went rolling over in the dust. I'll watch out for that man, missy." "Tell me about Snatcher!" "Leg broke, and a terrible cut from a great flint; but he'll pull through thanks to you!" "To Mr. Vinston, you mean!" Rundle shook his head. "To you.
Peter turned to her guest with confidential coyness. "A diplomat like you will know how to treat this as if it hadn't happened. Peter's little weakness; it runs in the family." "Good Lord! Do you mean to say he's a kleptomaniac, like Cousin Snatcher?" "Oh, not exactly," said Mrs. Peter, anxious to whitewash her husband a little greyer than she was painting him.
He used to be a first-class second-story man, and in his day was an A-1 snatcher, as his name signifies and my father's diaries attest, but I'm afraid his hand is out for a nice job such as I would care to have anything to do with myself." "Better let him slide, Raffles," said I. "He introduces the third party element into our arrangement, and that's mighty dangerous."
"If things are really at such a sorry pass," she said, "I will commend my former proposal to you with increased confidence. You should keep a dragon. After all, you only wish to protect your garden; and that" she embraced it with her glance "is not so very big. "Your proposal is a surrender to my contention," said Peter. "You would set a snatcher to catch the snatchers.
Robinson-Jones' necklace, return it to the lady, and within three weeks the Snatcher will take up his abode on the banks of the Hudson, the only banks the ordinary cracksman is anxious to avoid." "But how the dickens did you manage to put a crook like that on the grand- tier floor?" I demanded. "Jenkins, what a child you are!" laughed Holmes. "How did I get him there?
If I know it to be a noble one I shall show you my kingly friendship." The mouse, speaking haughtily, said: "I am Crumb Snatcher, and my race is a famous one. My father is the heroic Bread Nibbler, and he married Quern Licker, the lovely daughter of a king. Like all my race I am a warrior who has never been wont to flinch in battle.
All the Cossacks looked up at him. 'Just go to the upper water-course, there's a fine herd of boars there. I'm not inventing, really! The other day one of our Cossacks shot one there. I'm telling you the truth, added he, readjusting the musket at his back and in a tone that showed he was not joking. 'Ah! Lukashka the Snatcher is here! said the old man, looking up. 'Where has he been shooting?
"I was pullin' on my boots when Louise pokes her head above the wagon an' says: 'Hey, you bow-legged gurl snatcher, where's my clothes? "'What clothes? I answers. An' she snaps out, 'Mine. Didn't you fetch my clothes? "'Louie, I says, 'we shore forgot them an' they burned up with all the rest of the Yellow Mine. An' if you want to know, my dear, I'm darn glad of it.
The march teaches a good deal as to the paces of the ponies. It reminded me of a regatta or a somewhat disorganised fleet with ships of very unequal speed. The plan of further advance has now been evolved. We shall start in three parties the very slow ponies, the medium paced, and the fliers. Snatcher starting last will probably overtake the leading unit.
