And then the malign agreement of his outward husk with his inner degradation was revealed. His eyes, already criminal, reflected the kaleidoscopic succession of temptation and surrender; desire and thievery. He scanned the passageway without in either direction. No one was in sight.
"And whither is he gone?" "Why, that I know not, master. I only know that the horse of the young lady did bear him company. But the mule of the nurse is still there, wherefore there is no thievery, since he did take but his own." The bystanders now crowded more closely around Bartlemy, with the innkeeper at the front as questioner.
Never had they rowed more vigorously than now, fetching a large circuit, to keep at a safe distance from the spot, as they passed westward. For the next few days Rolf kept a close watch upon the proceedings of the pirates, and saw enough of their thievery to be able to lay informations against them, if ever he should again make his way to a town or village, and see the face of a magistrate.
He made such an uproar that half a hundred men, women, and children were gathered around them in less than a minute. "Here is ingratitude for you!" cried Ali. "Here is wickedness and thievery! Look at this wretch, all good men, and then turn away your eyes! For twelve years have I lived with this young man as a father might live with a son, and now how does he repay me?
This imitation of the ancient Herculeses, Alexanders, Hannibals, Scipios, Caesars, and other such heroes, is quite contrary to the profession of the gospel of Christ, by which we are commanded to preserve, keep, rule, and govern every man his own country and lands, and not in a hostile manner to invade others; and that which heretofore the Barbars and Saracens called prowess and valour, we do now call robbing, thievery, and wickedness.
NOT a parallel, but a contrast, since at all points Peace is Brodie's antithesis. The one is the austerest of Classics, caring only for the ultimate perfection of his work. The other is the gayest of Romantics, happiest when by the way he produces a glittering effect, or dazzles the ear by a vain impertinence. Now, it is by thievery that Peace reached magnificence.
"What would you do, Doctor?" asked Randall quietly; "we have no regular law." "Why not? Why don't you adopt a little regular law? You need about three in this camp against killing, against thievery, and against assault. Only enforce in every instance, as far as possible." "You can't get this crowd to take time investigating the troubles of some man they never heard of." "Exactly."
Will your Ladyship credit me when I tell you the poor girl had had good reason all along to suspect Mrs Pratt might have a hand in the thievery, but would not speak as knowing nothing for certain, and sparing to trouble me with the understanding she surprised between Pratt and my young gentleman.
In the next breath she was explaining what was wanted of the bank. "They've done it before, and ye know it's plain thievery and ought to be complained about. So now get your wits to work, Jimmy, for this friend of mine is entitled to his money and should have it if it is there to be had." "Oh, it's there," said Jimmy. He looked at his watch, looked at the kitchen clock, looked at Bud and winked.
He was not unacquainted with four-footed robbers of the trap line, but usually a wolf or a fox or a dog who had grown adept in thievery troubled only a few traps. But in this case Baree was traveling straight from trap to trap, and his footprints in the snow showed that he had stopped at each one. There was, to McTaggart, almost a human devilishness to his work. He evaded the poisons.
