When he reached the club next day, Eric found that Manders had arrived before him and was ordering luncheon for both. "D'you like the '06 Ruinart, or is it too dry for you?" he asked. "Nothing's too dry for me," Eric answered, "but I decline to drink champagne at lunch. I've work to do this afternoon." His host smiled persuasively and continued to write his bill. "It'll do you good, boy.
Ruinart and Moet were presented, and requested to be paid for 300,000 bottles of wine. "Send three hundred thousand more to the Tuileries," said the Prince, sternly: "our soldiers will be thirsty when they reach Paris."
For some time nothing could dislodge the army of Joinville, entrenched in the champagne cellars of Messrs. Ruinart, Moet, and others; but making too free with the fascinating liquor, the army at length became entirely drunk: on which the Imperialists, rushing into the cellars, had an easy victory over them; and, this done, proceeded to intoxicate themselves likewise.
"Also," Paliser told him, "caviare, woodcock, Ruinart." From the man he turned to the girl. "It was very decent of Lennox to introduce me to you." Cassy put her elbows on the table. "He could not be anything else than decent. Don't you know him well?" Paliser shrugged. "Our intimacy is not oppressive." "He saved her father's life," the Tamburini put in.
I offered to buy him a quart of Ruinart but he said his thirst wasn't working, so I had to paddle off home. That evening for the first time in several weeks I felt like speaking to myself. I was the life of the party and I even beamed approvingly when Uncle Peter tuned up his mezzo contralto voice and began to write a book about the delights of a country home.
And taking Moet with him as a hostage, and promising Ruinart that he would have him shot unless he obeyed, with trumpets playing and eagles glancing in the sun, the gallant Imperial army marched on their triumphant way.
The Ruinart, too, that kept spouting from the bucket beside it, was a pet vintage of the Hartopp.
It is a laugh that has in it not the motive power of Krug and Company or Ruinart père et fils; it smells not of suspicioned guineas to be enticed; it is not an answer to the baton of necessity.
The first case I propose to mention shall be, where there was an objection to entering into the military service upon this principle. And here, I apprehend none can be more in point than that of Maximilian, as preserved in the acts of Ruinart. Maximilian, having been brought before the tribunal, in order to be enrolled as a soldier, Dion, the proconsul, asked him his name.
When taken up by the order of Aurelianus Agricolanus, he is described by the record, preserved by Ruinart, to have avowed the same sentiments as Marcellus, and, like him, to have suffered death. It may not be necessary, perhaps, to cite any other instances, as opposed to that of Marinus, to the point in question.
