Presently Dulcie looked after the sops, and surreptitiously awarded Will the Benjamite's portion, and Will ate it absently with the only appetite there; though he, too, was a consumptive-looking man a good deal more so than when he attracted the pity of the good wife at the "Nine Miles Inn."
Ackroyd broke into another laugh louder this time, and contemptuous. 'Sops to the dog that's beginning to show his teeth! he exclaimed. 'It shows you what's coming. The capitalists are beginning to look about and ask what they can do to keep the people quiet. Lectures on literature! Fools! As if that wasn't just the way to remind us of what we've missed in the way of education.
Last night I dreamed of hell, and of souls toasted on burning forks and fed with sops of bale-fire, and you were there, Anastasia, where the flames leaped and curled like red-blazoned snakes about the poor damned. And I, too, was there.
We was married right after we came outa the North, you know, and of course Well, you know how a woman sops up adventure stories; and seeing you was the star performer " "And that's a lie," Ford put in modestly, albeit a trifle bluntly.

He hath had two good sops of late."
These "sops" are paid for indirectly by patronage, which would be withdrawn whenever the Bishop took alarm at an article in that same paper. Protestants do not carry their religion either into political or business relations, and so there is no offset to the religious, political and business concentration of Romanism.
Going to my Lord's I met with Mr. Shepley, and so he and I to the Sun, and I did give him a morning draft of Muscadine. 'Vinum muscatum quod moschi odorem referat.

And she received him with great joy, and made him to sit down by her, and so was he set to sup with flesh and many dainties. And when Sir Bors saw that, he bethought him on his penance, and bade a squire to bring him water. And so he brought him, and he made sops therein and ate them.
Now that the tension of peril was gone, my legs were like touchwood, which a stroke would shatter, and my foolish head swam like a merry-go-round. Shalah's arm was round me, and he lifted me up the steep bits till we came to the crown of the ridge.
