I never see a boy toss off his "cocktail," or "cobbler", or "sling," or by whatever other name the devil's brew is disguised, with the mannish, knowing air that proves him to be as weak as water, when he would have you think him strong as fusel oil! that I do not recall the vehement outburst in Mrs.
I'd like to be decent to her, but I can't stand the cocktail life. Lord, that time she danced, though. Oh hell, to get back to the reception. It was pretty big. Parade of the Aero Club and Squadron A, me in an open-face hack, feeling like a boob while sixty leven billion people cheered.
"Or perhaps you'd like a mint julep or gin cocktail better? Any thing you please. Make the speech and call for the liquor. I'll stand the treat." "What d'ye say, landlord?

They were so simple with one another. They came towards the bridge where they should part. "Won't you come and have a cocktail?" she said. "Now?" said Aaron. "Yes. This is the right time for a cocktail. What time is it, Manfredi?" "Half past six. Do come and have one with us," said the Italian. "We always take one about this time." Aaron continued with them over the bridge.
There will be baked beans Mexican, if I can hammer it into Toyama's head; also, baked papaia with Marquesan honey, and, lastly, a wonderful pie the secret of which Toyama refuses to divulge." "I wonder if it is possible to concoct a punch or a cocktail out of trade rum?" Duncan muttered gloomily. "Oh! I forgot! Come with me."
