There was a man in the gallery, which is otherwise back seats at threppence, got up an' said he'd a-come on that contrack, an' no other. Mortimer made 'im a speech, and when that wouldn' do I copped 'im on the back o' the neck." "An' after that, I s'pose, there was a free fight?" "No," said Sam; "you 'd be surprised how quiet 'e took it. 'E was unconscious." She eyed him thoughtfully.
Joe wagged his head. "You've 'it it," he said. And, jerking his head back towards the room behind him, "Guv'nor's got it now." "What?" "The new disease." "What new disease?" "Wy, the Run-abaht-an-tell-'em-'ow-to-do-it." "Ah!" "'E's copped it fair. In bed." "You don't say!" "Not 'alf!" Joe sank his voice still lower. "Wot'll you bet me I don't ketch it soon?" The gardener uttered a low gurgle.
Now, I put ut to you, sorr, Is ten days' C.B. a fit an' a proper tratement for a man who has behaved as me?" "Well, any'ow," said Ortheris, "tweren't this 'ere Colonel's daughter, an' you was blazin' copped when you tried to wash in the Fort Ditch." "That," said Mulvaney, finishing the champagne, "is a shuparfluous an' impert'nint observation."
He shuffled forward, slowly, feeling the consistency of the sand. There must be no slipping. The Sov officer had assumed the stance of a swordsman. His smile was foxlike. For the first time, Joe noticed the scar along the other's cheek. It was white now, which brought it into prominence. Yes, Sándor Rákóczi, in his time, had copped one more than once. At least the man wasn't infallible.
"Three hours' can an' kit," sez the Colonel; "not for bein' dirty on p'rade, but for 'avin' said somethin' to Mullins, tho' I do not believe, "sez 'e, "you said wot 'e said you said. "An' Mulvaney fell away sayin' nothin'. You know 'e never speaks to the Colonel for fear o' gettin' 'imself fresh copped.
For it is not probable, nor is there any appearance of truth in this saying, that at Paris upon a little bridge the hen is proportionable, and were they as copped and high-crested as marsh whoops, if veritably they did not sacrifice the printer's pumpet-balls at Moreb, with a new edge set upon them by text letters or those of a swift-writing hand, it is all one to me, so that the headband of the book breed not moths or worms in it.
Fancy lying out there in No Man’s Land for twenty-four hours with both legs broken and an arm! I said, “Sonny, you have had a rough time.” And this was his reply: “They copped me, worse luck, before I had a pot at them.” You can’t beat these boys of yours, the nation’s boys, the best boys of our homes, the flower of our manhood, the noblest and the dearest that God ever gave to a people.
"How long have you been in?" he asked, as he joined him, breathless. There was a malicious look in his eyes. "I went in when Pontius Pilate was a little boy, so you can reckon it out for yourself," said Pelle shortly. "My goodness! That was a good spell! And what were you copped for?"
The poor little Prince hasn't an enemy in the world. If he's been "copped", as they say, why has he been "copped"? It won't do anyone any good. 'Won't it? repeated Racksole, with a sudden flash. 'What do you mean? asked Mr Levi.
Then he loosened the gag it had been cruelly tight and went his way, again closing the door of the box-car. Outside on the road he found the watch. He got on the fast freight east, some time after, and rode into the city. He had sold the cuff-links, but on offering the watch to Alex he had been "copped." The story, with its cold recital of villainy, was done.
