The long porous roots of the cottonwood are irrepressible. They break into the wells as rats do into granaries, and thieve the water. The long street which connected Moonstone with the depot settlement traversed in its course a considerable stretch of rough open country, staked out in lots but not built up at all, a weedy hiatus between the town and the railroad.
Outside the captain and myself, the crew of The Waif, together with the six men that were with the Professor's party, were all natives, and I wondered as I watched the shadow why one should be crawling around as if afraid of being seen. It was possible that he was attempting to thieve something from the galley, and it was also possible that he was spying, as Holman had suggested.
No, I ain't that sort of man, I ain't. Good-night to yer, 'unter Quatermain good-night to yer, my argified young one; and Mr. Tom turned away disappointed, and prowled off elsewhere, like a human jackal, to see what he could thieve or kill. "'Thank goodness! I said, as I slipped off the lump of gold.
At this rate, short of inspiration, it seems hardly possible to be both rich and honest; and the millionaire is under a far more continuous temptation to thieve than the labourer who gets his shilling daily for despicable toils.

"It's true; the poor thieve to get a few annas to spend in the dens; the rich and educated buy it by stealth, and absorb it at home in secret." "What are the symptoms?" inquired Sophy. "Have you ever seen anyone who took those drugs?"
At length Murrell and his band were driven out, and sought a new field of operations on the Lower Mississippi. They left germs behind them, however, that developed into horse thieve counterfeiters, and later into guerrillas and bushwhackers. When the Rebellion broke out the region at once became the theater of military operations.

Hamar laughed; "though, after all, more than half the world does thieve all employers steal labour from their employés, all tradesmen steal a profit the wholesale man from the middleman the middleman from the retailer. Every Government thieves. Look at England righteous England!
"Well, say if you could cop me one o' Geoff's cigarettes one o' them with gold letterin' onto 'em " "You mean thieve you one!" "Why, no, a cigarette ain't thievin'. Say, now, dear old Trapesy, I'm jest dyin' for a gasper!" "Well, you go on dyin', an' I'll set right here an' watch how you do it." "If I was t' die you'd be sorry for this, I reckon."
