'All right, 'Sure! 'Yes, sir, 'Say, how's the boss? 'Good-bye. 'Not a cent. 'Take the elevated. 'Yup. 'Nup. 'That's one on you! 'Rubber-neck! A continuous fusillade of such phrases stimulated and flattered the audience, pleased to find themselves on such easy terms with the new language. But to Pinchas the idea of peppering his pure Yiddish with such locutions was odious.
After this initial shot, everybody considered himself at liberty to let off his rusty old blunderbuss, and there was a constant peppering. But my veil never lowered its colors nor curtailed its resources. Alas! what ridicule and contumely failed to effect, destiny accomplished. Softness and plenitude are no shields against the shafts of fate. I went into the station waiting-room to write a note.
He had just come into possession of an item of news which would furnish his vocal machine gun with ammunition sufficient for wordy volley after volley. Gabriel was joyfully contemplating peppering all Orham with that bit of gossip. No wonder he was happy; no wonder he hurried along the main road like a battery galloping eagerly into action.
While it is boiling, cut several slices of bread half an inch thick, pare off the crust and toast it a delicate brown on both sides. Pour over white sauce, or melted butter. Boil a bunch of asparagus twenty minutes; cut off the tender tops and lay them in a deep-pie plate, buttering, salting and peppering well.
The assailants swarmed up the sides of the canyon, and attempted to break in through the foundation of the buildings. But the masonry was stronger than they had anticipated, and the attack failed. Sharp-shooters then climbed the neighboring heights, and kept up an incessant peppering of the walls with conical bullets driven at four thousand feet per second.
There, sure enough, at the peak of the schooner flew out the often disgraced flag of Spain. "We'll haul it down, and settle that point afterwards," said Jack, suiting the action to the word and hauling down the flag. He was but just in time to save the schooner from a tremendous peppering, which the frigate, now ranging close up astern, had prepared for her.
The Winslow soon manœuvred so that she was peppering at all three gunboats at once.
That's the one.... And the old Boche was peppering the valley all the time." "Did the Boche shell much during the attack?" I asked. "Well," continued Pottinger, "he gave the guns most of the shelling . I was shooting the battery and Judd was doing F.O.O. with the infantry, and where Judd was it was mostly machine-guns." "Yes," said Judd, "I got the wind-up with those machine-guns.
They heard me now; I saw a staff officer gallop up to the head of the leading division, and halt them: a volley came peppering from behind me, but without doing me any injury, for I was safe once more in my bucket. Then came another pause, and again I repeated my manoeuvre, and to my delight perceived that our fellows were advancing at quick march.
Senor officer," I shouted, "your men have already shown that they can aim very correctly, and we would rather not run the risk of another peppering; may I beg that you will take care that they do not fire at us by mistake. If we have your word for it, we will descend, as you desire." "I pledge you the word of a Castilian that they shall not fire at you," answered the officer.
