Description
Mary’s boyfriend, Danny Murphy, has been drafted into Jeffersonia’s Army. He’s assigned to guard the coast against Mexican invasion.
Danny challenges a ragged man who’d waded up the shoreline. “This is a secure area. Let me see your ID.”
“I don’t have no ID. I don’t belong anywhere, sir. I’m one of them nenioj.”
The Army was offering a weekend pass to soldiers who improved their Esperanto. Nenio (neen-yo) was easy enough to pronounce, but the plural, nenioj (neen-yoy,) tricked Danny’s tongue.
“Nenoij,” says Danny. “I’ve been wondering what you people are like.”
