"You mean vinegar, don't you?" "I said cider, young man; an' when I say cider I mean cider," retorted Bishop, rather indignantly.

You're worried about your wife, but I tell you she's right as a trivet. I'd trust my last chance with that little princess. I've done it often. Brandy's the stuff to keep your hair on. Have some."
