"It's all very well for you fellows," he says; "you like it, but I don't. There's nothing for me to do. Scenery is not in my line, and I don't smoke. If I see a rat, you won't stop; and if I go to sleep, you get fooling about with the boat, and slop me overboard. If you ask me, I call the whole thing bally foolishness." We were three to one, however, and the motion was carried.
Slop, the man-midwife's house: and that whilst Obadiah has been going those said miles and back, I have brought my uncle Toby from Namur, quite across all Flanders, into England: That I have had him ill upon my hands near four years; and have since travelled him and Corporal Trim in a chariot-and-four, a journey of near two hundred miles down into Yorkshire. all which put together, must have prepared the reader's imagination for the entrance of Dr.
Slop, to whom he was addressing his discourse, and looking up into my father's face, with a countenance spread over with so much good-nature; so placid; so fraternal; so inexpressibly tender towards him: it penetrated my father to his heart: He rose up hastily from his chair, and seizing hold of both my uncle Toby's hands as he spoke: Brother Toby, said he: I beg thy pardon; forgive, I pray thee, this rash humour which my mother gave me.
In a man? said my father. 'Tis precisely the same, cried doctor Slop, in a woman. That's more than I know; quoth my father. And so to make sure of both systems, Mrs. Wadman predetermined to light my uncle Toby neither at this end or that; but, like a prodigal's candle, to light him, if possible, at both ends at once.
Robinson at the "Queen's Head," and she's promised to recommend us. I've just called there, and she really seems anxious to help. If Jane was stronger I shouldn't mind so much, but she mustn't work hard just yet, and Kate has a great deal to do with the children. Besides, Kate can't get out of the slop sewing, and of course that won't do for this kind of work. She'll get the stitch very soon.
Puss Parker banged his fist down upon the table as he made this emphatic declaration, the blow causing the partly emptied glass of ale to dance and vibrate. "Aw, say," yawned Willis Paulding, "you want to be a little cawful or you will slop the good stuff, don't yer know."
"Child murder, sir, I reckon that is," was the tense reply. "That's on their slop ticket all right. . . . 'Kippers, I sez, skylarkin' like . . . an' 'e sinks like a stone. . . ." Among the wavetops six hundred yards away a slender, upright object turned in a wide circle and moved slowly northward. To the south a cluster of smoke spirals appeared above the horizon, growing gradually more distinct.
The month was March, and after an unusually severe January and February, a "soft spell" had come, the rain had poured or dripped incessantly from a smoke-colored sky, the state of the earth was only to be described by that one uncomfortable word "slush." Spring was at hand after a horribly bitter winter a spring that was all wet and slop, miserable easterly winds, and bleak, drizzling rain.
If no oder medticine goes mit this ped, put me in some oder ped dot has a tifferent pottle, I cares not what it is. But no, sir! dey keeps me in dot ped. So I spidts Doctor Smith's tam stuff into de slop bowl, und comes home so quick as I gan." "I could hardly credit Hans' story, and told it as a joke to an old school physician who was familiar with the hospital where Hans had been.
She's going to ask some of the jam-girls out to tea and show them the baby!..." "Good old British Slop, Gilbert! Do you remember how we swore that we would never have anything to do with Slop?..." "We've had a lot to do with it. Roger was right. The Slop is there and you've got to make allowances for it, and after all, why shouldn't Rachel show her baby to the girls?
