He was sound asleep, with his coat unbuttoned, his gray helmet on the floor beside him, and his brass buttons and badge glittering in the gas-light. On a couch at the other side of the room lay another policeman, in his shirt-sleeves. He, too, was asleep, his mouth was open, and from it came the most outrageous snores I ever heard. "Whee-e-e yar-r-r-r yaw-w-w yop, yop, yop," he would go.
Thus, and not in treacled cadences, intrigued Mariar and Sir Thomas in the back alley. "Do you like it here?" asked the doctor. "Yop. But sometimes I feel wasted " "You don't look wasted " "No " after a hasty glance in the wall mirror. "Don't you get sick of the sight of food?" "Here, oh, no! I don't know any lovelier sight than our kitchens yes, yes, sir, I'll get your pied frotatoes at oneth."
There squats Susquesus on a stone, idle and disdaining work, with his rifle leaning against the apple-tree; while Jaaf or Yop, as I believe it is better to call him is pecking about in the garden, still a slave at his work, in fancy at least." "And which is the happiest, sir the industrious old man or the idler?" "Probably each finds most happiness in indulging his own early habits.
My uncle paused a moment to reflect before he continued a discourse that had not appeared to commence under very flattering auspices. "Who might lif in dat big stone house?" asked uncle Ro, as soon as he thought the negro had had time to cool a little. "Anybody can see you no Yorker, by dat werry speech," answered Yop, not at all mollified by such a question.
A great many fine speeches may be made, and much patriotic eulogy expended on the intrinsic virtue and intelligence of the people, and divers projects entertained to make "citizen-soldiers," as they are called; but citizens never can be, and never will be turned into soldiers at all, good or bad, until proper officers are placed over them. To return to Yop
"First season at camp?" Roy asked a scout who almost sat on his lap and was jogged out of place at every turn in the road. "Yop," was the answer, "we've never been east before; we came from Ohio. We haven't been around anywhere." "I've been around a lot," the irrepressible Peewee piped up from his wobbly seat on an up-ended suitcase. "Sure, he was conductor on a merry-go-round," Roy said.
And, oh, yes, here's Iva Payne. She's one of my most profitable patients sick all the time." Warble studied the pictures. "What expensive people," she said, "dear so dear." "Yes, great people. You'd love 'em. They're just layin' for you. Come on, Warble, will you?" "Yop," she murmured, from his coat pocket, "Sweet, so sweet." Among the rolling stock of a great railroad, a moving mass of steel.
Only the smoke. But anyway, Skinny wasn't on it. "Kind of, as you might say, Pee-wee can even beat a train going scout pace," I said. "It'll go winding and turning in and out along the shore," Bert said; "but Pee-wee can beat it on good turns." "Yop," I said. After that we didn't say anything for about five minutes. Then I said, "One thing sure; you ought to get the gold cross."
Why not go at once to the wigwam of Susquesus, and get out of him and Yop the history of the state of things. I heard them speaking of the Onondago at our tavern last night, and while they said he was generally thought to be much more than a hundred, that he was still like a man of eighty. That Indian is full of observation, and may let us into some of the secrets of his brethren."
Then it stopped for a second or two, and then there was another long stroke, with "yop, yop" on the end. "Do you s'pose it's another cow?" whispered Jimmy. Mr. Daddles shook his head, and held up his hand again for silence. The noise continued with perfect regularity for half a minute, then it stopped altogether. "It's in the wall," I suggested, pointing. "P'r'aps it's a mouse gnawing."
