E. Nesbit Quote

Well, you're to stay here and be my little boy till we find out where father is. We shall let the police know. They're sure to find him. The pleece! Dickie cried in horror. Why, father, 'e ain't done nothing. No, no, of course not, said the lady in a hurry; but the police know all sorts of things—about where people are, I know, and what they're doing—even when they haven't done anything. The pleece knows a jolly sight too much, said Dickie, in gloom.
