"Being about to burgle the bank, it's well not to be seen together eh?" "No, I'm not in on that business, Mr. Kerry. I'm for breaking banks, not burgling 'em," was the cheerful reply. They laughed, but Crozier knew that the observant gambling farmer was not talking at haphazard. They had met on the highway, as it were, many times since Crozier had come to Askatoon, and Crozier knew his man.
"Alone and unaided I have captured a desperate criminal, a bloodthirsty villain caught him in the very act of burgling a cabinet where I keep my cigars of price and Mr. Brimberly's, of course! Consequently to er croak you is my privilege as a citizen; it's all quite just and proper really, I ought to croak you, you know."
But the English are not always saying, either in romance or reality, 'What's to be done, if our food is being poisoned by all these baronets? They do not murmur in indignation, 'If bishops will go on burgling like this, something must be done. The whole point of the English romance is the exceptional character of a crime in high life.
The gang had resolved on "burgling" a hermit near Lobberich. Had he been an eremite of the old sort, the last place in which robbers would have expected to find plunder would be his cell. But in the eighteenth century it was otherwise, and this particular hermit kept a grocer's shop, and sold coffee, sugar, and nutmegs.
I expect by now that I have as good as told you the plot young brother caught burgling hero's flat; hero, intrigued by mention of sister, doffing his society trappings, following his captive to crook-land, bashing the wicked inhabitants with his heroic fists, and finally, of course, wedding the sister. So there you are! No, I am wrong. Which provides for the extra chapters.
It was scarcely likely that Hollams would go to so much trouble and risk, attempting to drug, injuring, waylaying, and burgling the rooms of the unfortunate Leamy, for a jewel of small value for any jewel, in fact, but the ruby. So that I felt a pretty strong presumption, at all events, that it was the ruby Hollams was after.
"But we have no cups!" exclaimed The Oskaloosa Kid, in sudden despair. Bridge laughed. "Knock an end off your egg and the shell will answer in place of a cup. Got a knife?" The Kid didn't. Bridge eyed him quizzically. "You must have done most of your burgling near home," he commented. "I'm not a burglar!" cried the youth indignantly.
Then he turned his attention to the problem of effecting an entry. Once an honest man has taken to amateur burgling he soon picks up the tricks of it. To open his knife and shoot back the catch of the nearest window was with Steve the work, if not of a moment, of a very few minutes. He climbed in and unlocked the front door.
'Septimus, these abandoned children are members of a desperate burgling gang who are robbing the house. They have already forced the missionary-box and purloined its contents. The Reverend Septimus passed his hand wearily over his brow. 'I feel a little faint, he said, 'running upstairs so quickly. 'We never touched the beastly box, said Robert. 'Then your confederates did, said Miss Selina.
I don't suppose anybody else is likely to come burgling here, so you needn't alarm yourself!" "But if they do, Miss Wiseacre?" "Then I should turn them over into the dressing-room, to be dealt with at her discretion by Princess Carmel!" laughed Bertha. "I believe she's equal to catching one of them in a mousetrap if she gets the opportunity!" The Open Road
