"Ho! ho!" he observed frigidly, "'tis indeed the king of the Irelands, accompanied by the red-headed duke who has entertained me for some time, and a third party with a thief's face who handles a loaded pistol with such abandon as leads me to suppose that he once may have been a highwayman. A very pretty band." "Use your tongue for a garter, Forister," said I. "I want my papers."
"'B'George, he said he'd have thief and swag both inside of three days he did, by hokey! and that's just about a week ago. Why, I said at the time that no thief and no thief's pal was going to try to pawn or sell a thing where he knowed the pawnbroker could get both rewards by taking HIM into camp with the swag.

You are a mighty good fellow when the sun shines; but let a storm come, and how you slink away!"
