Drinking was the regular, stereotyped resource of the despairing worthless. He began to see now why some men boozed at inns. He struck down the hill northwards and came to an obscure public-house.
In the neighborhood the feminine tipplers of her own class now related that she drank to console herself for her daughter's misconduct. She herself, when she gulped down her dram of spirits on the counter, assumed a dramatic air, and tossed the liquor into her mouth, wishing it would "do" for her. And on the days when she came home boozed she stammered that it was all through grief.
The minister even closeted himself with Jake for a whole afternoon without making the slightest impression on him. It was always the same old remark: "I've boozed for ten years and it ain't hurt me, so I guess I can booze some more." And the strange feature of it was that the more he drank the more sober he seemed to become. He did his work as well as ever.

She was sitting on the sofa against the wall, quite upright, with her hands before her, and her eyes looking half proudly, half miserable, round the room.

They repaired to the public-house to have a few last drinks before the brake started, and when the horn blew to warn them, rather unsteadily, they proceeded to take their places. Liza, as she scrambled up the steps, said: 'Well, I believe I'm boozed. The coachman had arrived at the melancholy stage of intoxication, and was sitting on his box holding his reins, with his head bent on his chest.
