"I'm going to ask Elinor if Hannah Ann and Henry can't come in town Saturday for the 'housebreaking," she said to Patricia as they climbed the stairs. "I think it would be very nice for them to see all our friends. They're such urbane dependents."
On his head was an automobile cap, and his face was covered with a bunch of eelgrass three feet deep. He was surely all the money. As I drew near I could hear Mr. Diggs expatiating on crime in general and housebreaking in particular, and I fancied I could also hear Bunch boiling and seething within. "Mr.
Now, a wipe is the easiest booty in the world, and the Artful Dodger might grow rich without the exercise of the smallest skill. But wipes dwindled, with dwindling sensibility; and once more the pickpocket was forced upon cleverness or extinction. At the same time the more truculent trade of housebreaking was winning a lesser triumph of its own.
I owe all three of you a dressing down for things that happened at Chatford, and now you'd better mind your P's and Q's if you don't want to be hauled up for housebreaking." With this parting threat the ex-Philistine left the carriage. Mugford, Jack, and Diggory gazed at one another for a moment with anything but a happy look on their faces.

"Passionate!" repeated Ned. "Well, I am a little choleric, I own it; but that is not so great a fault on the road as it would be in housebreaking. I don't know a thing that requires so much coolness and self-possession as cleaning out a house from top to bottom, quietly and civilly, mind you!"

And, if so, what becomes of your penal code? You and your co-signatories affirm that the present struggle is directed against "German culture."
