He honoured the dame, who cast on him a lacklustre eye, with a sulky yet ambrosial nod, seized a bottle of spirits and a tumbler, lighted a candle, drew a small German pipe and a tobacco-box from his pouch, placed these several luxuries on a small table, wheeled it to a far corner of the room, and throwing himself into one chair, and his legs into another, he enjoyed the result of his pains in a moody and supercilious silence.
You know it contained excellent balsam, and when the big dog threw down Selene the steward's daughter is called Selene threw her down the steps so that she lay hurt on the stones I fetched the phial and gave her the balsam." "With the bottle that held it?" asked the Emperor looking at Antinous. "Yes, my lord I had no other." "And she kept it and sold it at once."
For as the river mouth narrowed like the neck of a bottle, and the water grew calmer and the air warmer and more earthly, he seemed to wake up and take notice like a baby. They had reached that phase just after sunset when air and water both look bright, but earth and all its growing things look almost black by comparison. About this particular evening, however, there was something exceptional.
The host at the same time indicated a comfortably appointed carriage, to which were harnessed two horses who were pawing the ground, while the postilion sought patience in the bottle of Cahors wine he was emptying near the window-ledge.
"Oh, Gibson!" Joel flew after her and twitched her apron string. "What is it?" She turned on him with asperity. "I never will upset the mucilage bottle again, I won't, Gibson, really."

My heart's as heavy as lead, and that's the truth. Philip, send down for the bottle of schnapps, if it is only to clear my brain a little." Philip was glad of an opportunity to quit the poop; he wished to have a few minutes to recover himself and collect his own thoughts.
