Wee Willie Winkie betrayed a special and unusual interest in Miss Allardyce, and, slowly revolving round that embarrassed young lady, was used to regard her gravely with unwinking eye. He was trying to discover why Coppy should have kissed her. She was not half so nice as his own mother. On the other hand, she was Coppy's property, and would in time belong to him.
I shall call you Coppy, because of your hair. Do you MIND being called Coppy? It is because of ye hair, you know." Here was one of the most embarrassing of Wee Willie Winkie's peculiarities. He would look at a stranger for some time, and then, without warning, or explanation, would give him a name. And the name stuck. No regimental penalties could break Wee Willie Winkie of this habit.
Three weeks after the bestowal of his youthful affections on Lieutenant Brandis henceforward to be called "Coppy" for the sake of brevity Wee Willie Winkie was destined to behold strange things and far beyond his comprehension. Coppy returned his liking with interest. Coppy had let him wear for five rapturous minutes his own big sword just as tall as Wee Willie Winkie.
I lent him a cupple of dollars and he gave me the Coppy. It is from John to Gertie, but she never got it becos Hapgood never told her. I send it in this letter." Captain Dan, who had read the latter part of this long paragraph with increasing excitement, now stopped his reading and began a hurried search for the "Coppy." He found it, on a separate sheet.
Well Al I hadn't no sooner found out when 1 of the boys hands me a letter that just come and it was a letter from this baby doll that I told you about that's in Cologne and I will coppy down the letter so you can see for yourself what she says and here it is Al: Dear Sammy Boy: I was tres beaucoup to get your letter and will sure be glad to see you and can hardly wait till you get here.
There were urgent and imperative reasons why Major Allardyce should not know how matters stood for at least another month, and this small marplot had discovered a great deal too much. "I saw you," said Wee Willie Winkie, calmly. "But ve groom didn't see. I said, 'Hut jao." "Oh, you had that much sense, you young Rip," groaned poor Coppy, half amused and half angry.
It seemed to him in the hush of the dawn that all the big world had been bidden to stand still and look at Wee Willie Winkie guilty of mutiny. The drowsy sais gave him his mount, and, since the one great sin made all others insignificant, Wee Willie Winkie said that he was going to ride over to Coppy Sahib, and went out at a foot-pace, stepping on the soft mould of the flower-borders.

'Coppy, shouted Wee Willie Winkie, reining up outside that subaltern's bungalow early one morning 'I want to see you, Coppy! 'Come in, young 'un, returned Coppy, who was at early breakfast in the midst of his dogs. 'What mischief have you been getting into now? Wee Willie Winkie had done nothing notoriously bad for three days, and so stood on a pinnacle of virtue.
'Ven I won't, said Wee Willie Winkie briefly. 'But my faver says it's un-man-ly to be always kissing, and I didn't fink you'd do vat, Coppy. 'I'm not always kissing, old chap. It's only now and then, and when you're bigger you'll do it too. Your father meant it's not good for little boys. 'Ah! said Wee Willie Winkie, now fully enlightened. 'It's like ve sputter-brush?
