The countenance of the professedly pious man became scarlet, and he disappeared instantly. A Dutchman once called upon Friend Hopper, and said, "A tief have stole mine goots. They tell me you can help me, may be." Upon inquiring the when and the where, Friend Hopper concluded that the articles had been stolen by a man whom he happened to know the police had taken up a few hours previous.
"Blank yer impudence," roared Carroll, "to be sittin' there laughin' in me face at the loss av me property. It's no better than a pack of thieves ye are." "Tieves!" answered Perault, in quick anger. "Dere's one beeg, black, hairy tief not far 'way dat's got hees money for dat pony two three tam overe."
"H'explain? What for he can no h'explain? Dem horse he steal de night-tam' dat whiskee he trade on de Indian. Bah! He no good he one beeg tief. Me I put him one sure place he no steal no more!" A few moments of tense silence held the group rigid.
"Massa Charles," the negress called out, "bring yo' shot-gun quick; here am tief want to break into the house." "I am neither a thief nor a tramp," Vincent said; "and I do not want anything, except that I should be glad to buy a loaf of bread if you have one that you could spare. I have lost my way, and I want to ask directions." "Dat am pretty likely story," the old woman said.
I said. "No, Mass' George, but I dreffle hungly 'gain. Oh! Dem ugly tief 'teal de gun. No get duck for breakfass, eh?" "Let's think about escaping and getting back to the house before these savages. Ah, it's getting light."
Peter stamped and raved like a madman, and had to resort to Gaelic to disburden his mind of his effervescence.

"But I'll go to Captain Jack, and know if it's orders to put a hang-gallows spy in my room; aye, even in my widowed bed, you tief!" "Silence, old Jezebel!" said the fellow with a laugh, taking the bottle from his mouth to breathe, "or you will wake the gentleman.
"You dam wooden-legged ole tief," he shouted out; "I'll gib it to yar for dis hyar." And so, full of revengeful thoughts, the darkey sought his friend Monday. And they set to work plotting, with what result the next day showed much to the old gentleman's disgust. They mustered a good round dinner-party upon the following day.

No, thought Davies; it was too near Germany, and there was a tidal cut through from Buse Tief. Better to dodge in behind Rottum Island. So on we pressed, past Memmert, over the Juister Reef and the Corinne's buried millions, across the two broad and yeasty mouths of the Ems, till Rottum, a wee lonesome wafer of an islet, the first of the Dutch archipelago, was close on the weather-bow.
