The counterman took his money and was very careful about making the right change; if this dirty kid had swiped the five-spot, it could be the counterman's problem of explaining to someone why he had overcharged. Jimmy's intelligence told him that countermen in a joint like this didn't expect tips, so he saved himself that hurdle.
"It isn't wise to believe everything one hears, Jimmy, through key-holes," advised Kendrick. "That's all a bluff. It was Mr. Wade's idea that by pretending to be friendly toward Podmore I might get a line on something. We framed up the whole thing on Podmore." "But the envelope really was swiped an' hid in the stump, wasn't it?" "Yes, I left it there at Mr. Wade's suggestion."
The enormous, full-grown town men were almost on the school goal-line; the school team clinging to them and battling with them like tiger-cats. He had only been at Tidborough a month, but he felt he would die if the line was crossed. He swiped till he thought his throat must crack.
Stooping, he suddenly looked within, where Jeanne Lacombie knelt upon one knee as she fastened the thongs of her moccasin. The man grinned as he recognized the silvery hairs of the great white wolf skin which the girl had thrown across her shoulders. "So you swiped the greener's wolf-hide, did you? I seen it was gone offen the end of the bunk-house."
Then he went gunning for Trench, with some idea Trench had swiped the stuff so Trench is now running the Municipals. And I hear the gangs are just about in control of both sections, lately." The Chicken Coop was filled, as Randolph had said, but he slipped in and up the stairs, leaving the news to the publisher.
"I'm so cold," Gertie moaned from time to time, till he offered: "I'll try and build a fire. Maybe we better camp. I got a match what I swiped from the kitchen. Maybe I can make a fire, so we better camp." "I don't want to camp. I want to go home." "I don't know where we are, I told you." "Can you make a regular camp-fire? Like Indians?" "Um-huh." "Let's.... But I rather go home."
"It's Mister," said V.V., looking round from his secretary. "Shut the door." "Oh! Garland, hey? But he's swiped your best pants!" "They were a gift," said V.V., with a touch of soberness. "Sh! he'll hear you." "Oh!" said the Labor Commissioner again, and looked a little disappointed. He shut the door and came on in, a substantial figure in his glossy suit.
"Wonder whose they are," mused Tom, as Steve spread the trousers of the pajamas out and viewed them dubiously. They were several sizes two large for Steve, but they might do if his trunk didn't come in time. "I suppose that fellow swiped this bag, found there wasn't anything valuable in it and thought he'd swap it for another."
The Earl was contemplating his hireling, his face expressive of mixed emotions, the rest of us filling up the background as usual. "Well, that man Billie Budd, 'e swiped the shiners, so 'e did," stammered Egbert, his eyes avoiding his master's, "and 'e prevailed hon me to 'ide one of them for 'im. Said 'e would reward me when 'e came back to dispose of them.
"We don't exactly kind of what you would call swipe them," Pee-wee was forced to confess. "But we get them in ways that are just as good. They taste just as good as if they were swiped, honest they do," he hastened to add. "So will you come down by the river with me?
