They gave me the menus, and on them were: "Claret Wine Punch", "Cherry Wine Sauce", "Apple Dumpling and Brandy Sauce," "Roast Ham and Champagne Sauce," and "Wine jelly". While I was talking to the young men, many were smoking cigarettes in the entrance of the dining hall, which was contrary to rules, but Capt. Smoke only laughed at this practice of vice.
Accustomed to food fresh from the soil and the farmyard, he sneered at hothouse asparagus, hothouse grapes, and cold-storage quail. At the music hall he was even more difficult. In front of him sat a stout lady who when she shook with laughter shed patchouli and a man who smoked American cigarettes.
Secretaries were the Baileys' one extravagance, they loved to think of searches going on in the British Museum, and letters being cleared up and precis made overhead, while they sat in the little study and worked together, Bailey with a clockwork industry, and Altiora in splendid flashes between intervals of cigarettes and meditation.
He set off briskly along the northern side of the Green hurrying for fear Corley should return too soon. When he reached the corner of Merrion Street he took his stand in the shadow of a lamp and brought out one of the cigarettes which he had reserved and lit it. He leaned against the lamp-post and kept his gaze fixed on the part from which he expected to see Corley and the young woman return.
"Don't let him scare you, ma," Percival interrupted. "You'll get into the game all right, and I'll see that you have a good time." "Only I hope the First M.E. Church of Montana City never hears of her outrageous cuttin's-up," said Uncle Peter, as if to himself. "They'd have her up and church her, sure smokin' cigarettes with her gold monogram on, at her age!"
I came to the old rampart of the town, now a promenade; and at the gate groups of idlers, with cigarettes between their lips, stood talking. An hospitable friend had offered lodging for the night and food; after which, my ideas of the probable accommodation being vague, I expected to sleep upon straw, for victuals depending on the wayside inns.
It is a harmless-looking plant, with its thick tangle of leaves, a coarse green growth, with trumpet-shaped flowers. But to one who knows its properties it is quite too dangerously convenient for safety." "But what has that to do with the evil eye?" I asked. "Nothing; but it has much to do with the cigarettes that Whitney is smoking," he went on positively. "Those cigarettes have been doped!"
"I suppose you have no idea what Dr. Maudsley has prescribed for her?" he asked carelessly. "Nothing, as far as I know, except rest and simple food." He seemed to hesitate, then he said under his voice, "I suppose you know that she is a regular dope fiend, seasons her cigarettes with opium, and all that." "I guessed as much," remarked Kennedy, "but how does she get it here?" "She doesn't."
The most useful coin corresponding to our shilling, the French franc, and the Italian lira is rather like an overgrown shilling to look at and equal to five piastres or a halfpenny more than a shilling. Now we have only to buy some cigarettes for me and some Turkish Delight for well, for us both! Then we can go on to our train.
"Unless I am greatly mistaken, when the person who is doing the doping sees that Whitney is getting better why, I think you all noticed it, Inez and Lockwood as well as you it will mean another attempt to substitute more cigarettes doped with that drug. I think it's by substitution that it's being done. We'll see."
