By this action Ney afforded the army a respite of twenty-four hours; and it profited by it to proceed towards Smolensk. The next day, and every succeeding day, he displayed the same heroism. Between Viazma and Smolensk he fought ten whole days. Defeat and entire dissolution of Prince Eugene's corps at the passage of the Wop.
See, he's not only wet to the skin, but narrowly escaped going to the bottom, as you know; and now, in return for this kindness, you try to wop him, and end in getting wopped instead yourself. Anstruther, you're an ass, and more than that, you're an ungrateful ass; and I've half a mind to thrash you myself for your conduct to Vernon!"
The only way you can tell he isn't American born is that he is so anxious to help out on all the unpleasant work. When I look at Phil it makes me boil to think of fellows like him being called 'Wop." By this time the two had swung back into the campus, and J.W. found himself drafted to hold down second base in the Faculty-Student ball game. But that is a story for others to tell.
An' say, he has it pretty fierce, dat kid. De kid what lives dere. He's a wop kid, an Italian, an' he's in bad 'cos his pa comes over from Italy to woik on de subway." "I don't see why that puts him in bad," said John wonderingly. "You don't construct your stories well, Pugsy.
The word "Boche" cannot be translated by anything except "Boche," any more than our word "Wop," meaning an Italian, can be turned into French. The same attitude, half banter, half race contempt, lies at the heart of both terms.
"If you persist in picking on me, skipper, I'll ravish you of those magnificent eyebrows with a safety razor, some time when you're asleep, and leave you as dumb as a Wop peddler who's lost both arms." Liane followed him out in silence, but her carriage was that of a queen of tragedy. Lanyard got up in turn, and to his amazement found the eyebrows signalling confidentially to him.
Maybe a trifle less, bekaze the air's so thin. WOP! WOP! WOP! went a volley of musketry on the rear face of the north hill. 'Curse them Mixed Pickles firin' at nothin'! They'll scare arf the country. 'Thry a sightin' shot in the middle of the row, said Mulvaney, the man of many wiles. 'There's a red rock yonder he'll be sure to pass. Quick!
Meanwhile he continued to smile cheerily at the young person he had so rudely designated as a little Wop and gestured to the seat beside him. "Hop in," he admonished. "Let us be off before that horse comes and steps on me. That's a dear girl." But Maria Angelina shook her dark head. "I told you, no, Signor, I could not go. In my country one does not ride with young men."
The Liberry Teacher knew that it was her duty to go over and hypnotize the child into reading something which would lead more directly to Browning and Strindberg. But she didn't. "Poor little wop!" she thought unacademically. "Let her be happy in her own way!" And the Liberry Teacher herself went on being unhappy in her own way. "I'm just a battered bisque doll!" she repeated to herself bitterly.
He had been put out of the tenement where he had once lived with his poor mother, he had been put out of school as a young boy, and he had been put out of the Public Library once; so he was not unaccustomed to being put out. Down near the station he climbed the steps of Wop Harry's lunch wagon and had a sandwich and a cup of coffee. Then he went home if one might call it home....
