"Who was that I heard talking with ye as I come by?" blew the captain very loud. "That was Mis' Cap'n Topliff; an' an old cat she is," calmly replied Mrs. French. "She hasn't been near me before this three months, but plenty of stories she's set goin' about us, and plenty of spyin' she's done.
The door of the gymnasium had opened and a lad, about sixteen, grimy and black with soot and iron, stepped into the yellow glare of the oil lamp. Ted Barton seized him by the collar. "See here, thou yoong whelp, this is private, and we want noan o' thy spyin'!" "But I maun speak to Mr. Wilson." The young Cantab stepped forward. "Well, my lad, what is it?" "It's aboot t' fight, Mr. Wilson, sir.
Spyin' out the lie o' the land fer future raids?" "Surely I am at liberty to take interest in a neighbour's building operations," returned the chief. He leant closer over the working bench and gazed down at the architect's plan with renewed curiosity. "This, I suppose, is the front entrance," he said. He touched the paper at a particular part of the design, but quickly drew his arm back.
Now, if you come up here spyin' an' snoopin', you git bumped off an' no argument about it. Mart's got his mother t' take care of an' we aim t' pertect Mart. If you're a Federal officer, I want t' know it here an' now. If yuh ain't, I want yuh t' sample some uh the out-kickin'est 'White Mule' yuh ever swallered. Now which are yuh, and what yuh goin' t' do?
Indeed it was a delectable bit of humor from Oncle Jazon's point of view. "Don't get mad at the old man," said Kenton, plucking Beverley aside.

"Spyin' isn't the business that any straightfor'rd man," the Deacon began to say in tones of cold disapproval, and then he bethought him of courtesy to the stranger, and changed hastily "that I'd like to do. It's entirely too resky." "O, it's jest as honorable as anything else. Pap," said Si, divining his father's thought. "All's fair in love and war. We couldn't git along without spies.
"That's so," said Shif'less Sol, "but I'm thinkin' that nothin' much will happen, until we get up toward the mouth of the Lickin'. It's been only two nights since Timmendiquas hisself was spyin' us out, an' afore he strikes he's got to go back to his main force." "Mebbe so an' mebbe not," said Tom Ross.
"Tell me about Miss Markham first," he interrupted; "is she well?" "As well as she ever is that girl's far from strong. The more I think of this job" she reverted to her subject "the more meechin' I feel about it, spyin' on a good woman an' a great medium like her. Git the girl away from her! Let me tell you, Dr.
"So, you've been sneakin' around through the woods a-spyin' on me SNEAKIN' AN' SPYIN'," she repeated so searingly that Dave looked at the ground suddenly, picked up a pebble confusedly and shot it in the water. "I had a mighty good reason," he said doggedly. "Ef he'd been up to some of his furrin' tricks " June stamped the ground. "Don't you think I kin take keer o' myself?" "No, I don't.
