He returned the wood-lice to his pocket except one, which he held between a finger and thumb laid thoughtfully against his lip. "Want wopses now. You get 'em for me." William roused himself from his bewilderment. "How how do you catch 'em?" he said. "Wings," replied Thomas. "Get hold of their wings an' they don't sting. Sometimes they do, though," he added casually. "Then your hands go big."
She turned away indignantly, holding Thomas's hand. "You're never to go with that nasty rough boy again, darling," she said. "Got lots of wopses an' some fishes," murmured Thomas contentedly. They disappeared down the path. With a feeling of depression and disillusionment William turned to go home. Then his spirits rose.
Lord, what a mint o' diggin' we 'ave done in they trenches to be sure. And bullets vlying like wopses zumtimes." "Are your parents alive?" I asked. "No, zur, they be both gone to Kingdom come. Poor old feyther," he said after a pause. "I mind 'un now in his white smock all plaited in vront and mother in her cotton bonnet you never zee 'em in Wiltshire now.
And Josey began to chuckle with a kind of inward merriment; "I'll never forget the day that child sat down on a wopses' nest an' got all 'er little legs stung; she was about five 'ear old then, an' she never cried not she! the little proud spitfire that she was, she jes' stamped 'er mite of a foot an' she sez, sez she: 'Did God make the wopses?

"How's that?" said the old man; "you weren't afeard, was you?" "No," said Harry, stoutly; "I wasn't afraid, only they came buzzing out so we were obliged to give in."
