We shall all have to smoke 'em that way if our noble republic is busted up. Fill yours, and try it, Martin. "Instead of enjoying my cocktail, Miss 'Rema, I never was so down at mouth; for, to my mind, his old heart was broken while he carried on so. And let every body say what they will, one thing there is no denying of.
But I began to notice, when I finished my morning's work, that I was glad if there were a guest, for then I could drink a cocktail with him. Now I was so clean of alcohol that even a single cocktail was provocative of pitch. A single cocktail would glow the mind and tickle a laugh for the few minutes prior to sitting down to table and starting the delightful process of eating.
"Bobby and I have an engagement immediately after dinner." "An engagement after dinner! I didn't understand " "Let's think of dinner first," Bobby said. "We can talk about engagements afterward. Perhaps you'll have a cocktail here while we decide where we're going." "The aperitif I should like very much," Paredes said. "About dinner there is nothing to decide. I have arranged everything.
He regarded her uneasily, took the cocktail which the maid offered him, drank it, and laid down the glass. He had had before, in the presence of his wife, this vague feeling of having passed boundaries invisible to him.

"You're between Gaisford and me," said Ettrick, detaching him for a cocktail and cigarette at the far end of the room. "I'm proposing your health, you'll have to reply; and that'll be all the speeches, unless we sit late. Manders has promised to come as soon as he can get away from the theatre, and that may start the ball again. By the way, is it official yet? I haven't seen any announcement."
Jess learned to drink a cocktail in order to get the cherry. At home she smoked a cigarette after dinner. She learned to pronounce Chianti, and leave her olive stones for the waiter to pick up.

She said, in my presence and in that of Sir Seymour Portman and Miss Van Tuyn, that she did not belong to this age." "What an what an extraordinary statement!" said Braybrooke, drinking down his second cocktail at a gulp. "She said she was or rather, had been an Edwardian. She would not have it that she belonged to the present day at all." "A whim! It must have been a whim!
By way of diversion he ordered an old-fashioned whisky cocktail, urging her to join him. Finding her obdurate, he drew from his pocket a little box.

"Oh, you shouldn't have done that," she protested.
It happened that she made by far the finest cocktail procurable in that large city where drink-mixing on the part of the foreign population was indeed an art. Up at the club, down at the hotels, and in other private houses, no such cocktails were created. Her cocktails were subtle. They were masterpieces.
