They have made you little infidelities?" He frowned. "They?

There were the champagne-flasks which poor Jack Belsize had emptied, the tall seltzer-water bottle, from which the gases had issued and mingled with the hot air of the previous night's talk; glasses with dregs of liquor, ashes of cigars, or their black stumps, strewing the cloth; the dead men, the burst guns of yesterday's battle. Early as it was, his neighbour J. J had been up before him.

The duke himself rather preferred a game of piquet or cart with Captain Mildmay, and sometimes retired with a troop to a distant, but still visible, apartment, where they played with billiard-balls games which were not billiards. The ladies had retired, the duke had taken his glass of seltzer-water, and had disappeared.

How picturesque and polite he was, to be sure, as he kept picking up our beer-bottles when they rolled about the deck! put in Mat, who had the dark youth safely in her sketch-book, with eyes as big and black as blots.

Sir Alessandro Tamburini! Sir Agostino Velluti! They have all the yellow ribbon. They are all honorable, and clever, and distinguished artists.

Hereupon a dog was brought in from the stables, and, having been made to swallow about a quarter of a pint of the Seltzer-water, was presently taken with convulsions, and died on the spot.

I saw two hands put out to take the glass; a brown hand and a white his hand, and the hand of Monsieur Maurice. I saw yes, before Heaven! as I live to remember and record it, I saw the brown hand grasp the tumbler and dash it to the ground! "Pshaw!" said Monsieur Maurice, brushing the Seltzer-water impatiently from his sleeve, "how came you to upset it?"
