John Barleycorn has given his very heart to this admirable liquor; it is a superior kind of ale, the Prince of Ales, with a richer flavor and a mightier spirit than you can find elsewhere in this weary world. Much have we been strengthened and encouraged by the potent blood of the Archdeacon!

I didn't bribe the cook to put paraffin oil in your dinner, and I should never have thought of pouring Condy's Fluid over your bed." "Has that curate, Meldon, I mean " "He's not a curate," said Miss King. "He's a vicar at least." "I shouldn't wonder if he turned out to be an archdeacon.
