"And the crew?" said Eve, wincing under Captain Triggs's figurative language. "Awh, the crew's right enuf a set o' gashly, smudge-faced raskils that's near half Maltee and t' other Lascar Injuns. Any jail-bird that flies their way 'ull find they's all of a feather. But here," he added, puzzled by the event: "how's this that you'm still mixed up with Adam so?
"He tried to fight me, and first I beat him terribly oh, terribly! and then I made a protocol and sent him to prison. See him?" he bellowed. "See the jail-bird? See the dog?" Waters swore helplessly. A month before, upon a quarter of such provocation, he would have flashed into fight; but cold, hunger and friendlessness had damped the tinder in him.
Finally, a former dealer in lottery-tickets, himself a counterfeiter by his own admission, and a jail-bird.
These vulgar wretches I am working with think it an outrage that a 'jail-bird, as they call me, contaminates the foul air that they breathe. I may be driven out by them; but," setting his teeth, "I won't give up this foothold of my own accord." "You might have been President if you had shown such grit before you got down." "That's not pleasant to think of now."
"That's about the ticket, I think, my lady. Yes, just so. I found a nice old hag waiting to claim her five pounds reward; for, you see, the men at the police-office at Murford Haven contrived to keep her dancing attendance backward and forwards call again in an hour, and so on till I was there to cross-question her. A precious deep one she is, too; and a regular jail-bird, I'll wager.
"Oh, that all happened a long time ago and Rosario has married and settled down since then." Evidently Carmelo had thought this over and had felt uncomfortable that I should shun Rosario for being a jail-bird and not shun him who was one also.
Poltinin said: "The Socialist Revolutionaries are certain to be blamed for it. Expropriation for party purposes why not? As for us, no one will even suspect us." "The priests will never get over it," declared Molin, a former instructor, who was a drunkard and a thief a jail-bird deprived of his legal rights. The friends began preparations for the projected theft.
Pickle, who, running down stairs, would have assaulted our hero, had she not been restrained. The exercise of her tongue not being hindered, she wagged against him with all the virulence of malice. She asked if he was come to butcher his brother, to insult his father's corpse, and triumph in her affliction? And bestowed upon him the epithets of spendthrift, jail-bird, and unnatural ruffian.
As for the gold ring and the tweed suit, they disappeared into space when my placard went up, you may be sure of that, and a felon can paint his face. But his eyes and eyebrows will do him. They are the mark of a jail-bird. I am a visiting justice, and have often noticed the peculiarity.
You do not know the ways of the braves around here, the cunning they employ to avoid being caught when wreaking vengeance. You must be on your guard now more than ever. You know what the jail-bird is, and he doesn't want to get sent back to prison. What he has just done is a trick which other man-slayers have played before." Jaime lost patience at the boy's mysterious air and confused words.
