The boy started back with a look of terror. That pale terror was reflected on each man's face, as on a mirror.
But for the man of neurasthenic constitution and for any brain of weak resistance, the limit for permissible alcoholic beverages ought to be drawn very narrow and in such cases temporary abstinence is usually the safest advice.
