White, "but what I want you boys to do is to drive the girls down to your barber's. You said it was a very nice place." "Tip-top," interrupted Ned.

"Don't you remember the day Daisy Bliss got burrs in her hair?
"To tell you the truth," Jimmy answered, falling on his cocktail, "I haven't had any to write yet." "What has your work been?" Lady Amesbury asked. "Kind of superintending," the young man explained, "looking on at everything getting the hang of it, you know." "Are the other men there nice?" Sarah enquired.
I have friends to whom a cigar, a cocktail, and a game of cards are delightful sources of pleasure, the missing of which would mean to them a real deprivation. I have never played cards, I have never touched a cocktail, and have never had a cigar between my lips; and yet I have never missed them.
But she was ahead of him. He found her who rarely drank, and never alone just placing an empty cocktail glass back on the tray. So she, too, had needed courage for the meal, was his deduction, as he nodded to Oh Joy and held up one finger. "Caught you at it!" he reproved gaily. "Secret tippling. The gravest of symptoms.
Amos glared wildly from his bloodshot eyes when a monkey seemed to leap on the footboard. He held a glass in his hand. "Have a cocktail, Amos," said the monkey, as he tossed the liquid into the air and caught it in another glass.

Nine-tenths of them were pure black. You rarely saw a white face, but still less would you see a discontented one, imperturbable good humour and self-satisfaction being written on the features of every one.
"And I reckon I sure bunched myself all right into Santa Fe; for if this ain't the Plaza Hotel, I 'm drunker 'n a feller has any right to be who 's been total abstainin' ever since last night. But I 've sure got to have a cocktail now, if it busts a gallus!" He stared wistfully at the door; but drunken lethargy was still upon him, and his disinclination to move was stronger than his thirst.
Such songs as did rise above the medley of catcalls and gibes of a dark nature which passed in playful badinage between the sister services were of a nature exclusively frivolous; and the conversation of such officers as were not consuming the midday cocktail consisted entirely of a great thankfulness that they had seen the last of an abominable island, and a fervent prayer that they would never see it again.
He'll think we're living together. He'd never believe anything else." "Do you think he followed you the other day?" "I gave him the shake, in the crowd." "Then I don't see why you're worrying. We're just where we were before, aren't we?" "You don't know them. I do. They'll be up to something." She was excited and anxious, and with the cocktail he ordered for her she grew reckless.
