"Not so easily. It will never do to interfere with my lord's hunting and when hunting is over there is always something else Newmarket, or the House of Lords, or rook-shooting." "I must say there is something delightful about Paris, which you meet nowhere else," said Mr. Sidney Wilton to Endymion. "For my part, it has the same effect on me as a bottle of champagne.
"She took your message up to him," said Hilda, "and came down again in a minute looking very red in the face." "Titherington must have sworn at her," I said. "What a brute that man is!" "You'd better take him round the bag at once," said Lalage. "Where is it?" "He shan't have the bag," I said. "There are only eight bottles left and I want them myself." "Bottles of what?" "Champagne, of course."
The house had been beautifully decorated and the refreshments were served in the large room at the left of the hall; the buffet luncheon consisted of every kind of cake and sweetmeats, champagne, wine, and beer. The Filipino guests were in the large front room, seated in rows, six or eight rows, perhaps twenty in a row, with their backs to each other or facing each other.
"A waiter can drink up all the champagne those fellas leave in bottles," suggested Rose with some relish, and then added as an afterthought, "Oh, boy!"
With all his might he tried to say: 'So you bully me, do you you bully me to-night! but only the word "so" and a sort of whispering came forth. He heard her speaking.

The Senator had already possessed himself of a cocktail, and was making his little speeches to Isabelle, who in a Paris gown that gave due emphasis to her pretty shoulders and thin figure, was listening to him gayly. "Did you think we lived in a log-cabin, Senator?" she protested to his compliments. "We eat with knives and forks, silver ones too, and sometimes we even have champagne in Torso!"...
To have got the best of him and to have pulled the wool over the eyes of a keen American detective! In Liverpool he deliberately threw away a full sovereign in motion-pictures and music-halls. But he drank nothing, not even his customary ale. Not so long ago he had tasted his first champagne; very expensive, something more than two hundred pounds. Stupid ass!
And he is every bit as good a man as his father was. He is square and on the level. He has wealth, and he doesn't go bumming around town, giving champagne parties, and monkey dinners. He knows how to be a good fellow without making a fool of himself, and that is more than you can say of most young men who have money to burn.
