Not long before, the Police Inspector had locked up a horse stealer, whom he had in charge, in the hide-house for a few hours while he took a meal. To Bridget it seemed an irony that Wombo should be imprisoned in the very room he had so lately shared with his stolen gin.
"Bugobo," said Hamilton, "you talk like a foolish one, for how may a crocodile who does not leave the water, and moreover is evil and old, a stealer of women and children and dangerous to your goats, how can this thing bring good fortune to any people?" "How can the river run, lord?" replied the man, "and yet it does." Hamilton thought for a moment.
The Greeks, of course, made Prometheus mean 'foresighted, providens; but let it be granted that the Germans know better. The root manth likewise means 'to rob; and we can see in English how a fire-stick, a 'fire-rubber, might become a 'fire-robber, a stealer of fire. But Mr. Max Muller does not say one word about Prometheus as the Fire- stealer.
"I hope he disabled dat chicken stealer!" yelled the colored man. "Anybody what'll steal chickens " "Hush!" commanded Mr. Henderson. Another shot rang out, and then the sound of footsteps could be heard. "He's running past here," called Jack, hurrying to the door.
"Not the first time I have heard the like," he said. "If the man complains, pay him. But if he is a man stealer, as is likely, you will hear naught of him, and he will get him from Norwich as fast as he may." As I suppose he did, for neither I nor the sheriff heard more of him, and next day his place in the market was empty.
Why should she be burdened with such a responsibility, at this late day, when the touch of time had well-nigh healed these old sores? Surely, God had put his curse not alone upon the slave, but upon the stealer of men!
"That will not I," answered the other, "though I would not have thought of his turning deer stealer at his years. Sapperment what a shy fairy it is! See how she crouches down on yonder seat, behind folks' backs, to escape the gaze of the Marckers. But hold, hold, what are they about to do with the poor old Bishop?"
Three hours later and Hugh Worthington was confronting the famous negro stealer, who gave him back glance for glance, and stood as unflinchingly before him as if there were upon his conscience no Adah Hastings, who, by his connivance, had been so terribly wronged. At the mention of her name, however, his bold assurance left him.
Would I could say as much for her neighbours! Were I to be seen in the purlieus of low thievery, you know, as well as I do, that some stealer of kerchiefs would turn informer against the notorious Captain Lovett." "What, then, takes you to town? Ah! you turn away your face. I guess! Well, Love has ruined many a hero before; may you not be the worse for his godship!"
Besides, my "party" would swear stout that I was as innersunt as the new-born babe, and a great many people would wink very pleasant, and say, "Well, Griggins understands what HE'S 'bout, HE does.!" But havin' no eddycation, I'm only a low thief a stealer of watches and spoons and sich a low wretch, anyhow and the Law puts me through without mercy. But the Law don't tech 'em.
