He appeared to have a fixed idea that the Italian language was one easily mastered by the simple method of saying "da" instead of "the," and tacking on a final "a" to any word that seemed to him to need one. "Say, kid," he began, "has da rent-a-man come yet-a?" The black eyes of the wop kid clouded. He gesticulated, and said something in his native language.
But she gone, and poor Beppo he was de pinched for starting de fight in de house. He pay twanty-five de dols, and coma back here. De nexta morning a beeg man come to Beppo, and he say: 'Wop, you geet out dis place, eef you tella de police about dees girl, Dassal."
Of the two, however, the latter was the more demonstrative and noisy; and at length, not content with giving Fritz an occasional "wop" with its wing, it had the daring audacity to strike its sharp talons into a part of his posteriors approximate to the seat of honour. This was something more than canine flesh and blood could bear; and Fritz determined not to submit to it any longer.
I'd say, like the Prevention-Cruelty-Animal's man to the keeper of the menagerie, "Lecture 'em, wound their dignity, hurt their feelings, only don't wop 'em." I don't wish any harm to them, but what the deuce they do here nosing after my grandson! . . . There, go; we shall be having it out ha' done with to-morrow or next day. I've run the badger to earth, else I'm not fit to follow a scent.

I'd like to catch a Maine fisherman allowing color in his boat, like a "dago" or a "wop." Over all the swing and dip and rhythm of the sea gulls.

The wop kid, plainly glad to get away, slipped out of the door like a shadow. Pugsy shrugged his shoulders. "Gents," he said resignedly, "it's up to youse."
"Dat's it." The little fellow scratched his head. "I bin skulkin' 'round 'em to find out. Sometimes I follers 'em, like now. Dey always drop out like this. Dey's queer. Dey ain't regular crooks, nor regular guys either. Dey's cookin' soup for sump'n big." "That's what I think," said Johnny. "What are they like?
