I answered, "At one pull, Sir, you are no milk-sop we shall do you justice." "Shall you?" said he, shaking me by the hand; "odds then, I'll see it out, an't were a mile to the bottom: here's to our better acquaintance, measter Randan," So saying, he applied it to his lips, and emptied it in a breath.
"Now thou wilt have to put away thy sloth, thou milk-sop." Says Grettir, "<i>Ill is it to goad the foolhardy</i>." Asmund answers, "Thou wilt ever be a good-for-nought." Now Grettir sees where, in one of the seats stood wool-combs: one of these he caught up, and let it go all down Asmund's back. He sprang up, and was mad wroth thereat; and was going to smite Grettir with his staff, but he ran off.
Not a word, not a single sign of response or comprehension could he remember having given. Certainly his father might very well think him a "milk-sop," was it, he had said? For a day or two Ivan lived, in secret, through that scene.
"They are warm enough and devoted enough in all conscience," she observed, "so much so, indeed, that I feel sure they are written under the influence of potent tumblers of whisky. Though I never could endure a milk-sop, yet I have a still greater objection to the opposite extreme.
He was also accused of hauteur and of an unsoldierly reserve with his brother officers. Some loose-tongued ones even called him a milk-sop, because he was constantly seen conversing with the priest he who had nothing to say to an honest soldier. Others said, "No, hang it, he is not a milk-sop: he is a tried soldier: he is a sulky beggar all the same."
Arms are getting hard, and good fine depth of chest for your age. Don't, because you are the Prince's page, grow into a dandy macaroni milk-sop, all scent, silk, long curls, and pomatum. I want you to grow into a man, fit for a soldier to fight for his king." "And that's what I want to do, father," said the lad proudly. "Of course you do; and so you will. You are altering wonderfully, boy.
Three of the liquor seller's followers, however, picked the big man up, staggering under his weight, and bore him behind the door that had closed on more than one man's career. "What do you think of that, Mr. Drake?" demanded Tom Reade jubilantly. "Do you put Dick Prescott in the milk-sop class?"
And, thou, Goddess of the Silver Bow chaste Diana deign to become the leading star of our lucubrations; come perch upon our grey goose quill; shout in our ear the maddening Tally-ho! and ever and anon give a salutary "refresher" to our memory with thy heaven-wrought spurs those spurs old Vulcan forged when in his maddest mood whilst we relate such feats of town-born youths and city squires, as shall "harrow up the souls" of milk-sop Melton's choicest sons, and "fright their grass-galloping garrons from their propriety."
No offer was made to reengage him, and as he turned away from the door of the counting-room, he heard the man remark, in a sneering under-tone to a person present, "a poor milk-sop!" Generally, the unfortunate are stung to the quick by any reflection upon them by those in a better condition; and few were more alive to ridicule than Wilmer.
Wright told an interesting anecdote of young Brown, which runs as follows: John was the best-behaved boy in the school, and for this reason the teacher selected him to occupy a vacant place beside the girls. Some other boys were jealous of this, and after calling Brown a milk-sop, attacked him with snowballs. John proved himself as good a fighter then as he did afterwards at Black Jack.
