There was the sound of the withdrawal of a cork, the fizz of a sodawater syphon. He returned to his place a different man. "You must remember my age, Elizabeth dear," he said, apologetically. "I haven't your nerve it isn't likely that I should have. When I was twenty-five, there was nothing in the world of which I was afraid." She looked him over critically.
Frederick's hot water, and a bottle of sodawater on the same tray. He has been instructed to bring soda whenever he hears the word slavey pronounced from above. The bottle explodes, and Frederick drinks, and hisses after his drink as though he had been all hot within. "What's o'clock now, slavey half-past three?
Ah, those midnight carousals, how glorious they would be if there was no next morning! I took my sauterne and sodawater in my dressing-room; and, as indisposition always makes me meditative, I thought over all I had done since my arrival at Paris. It is true that I was every where abused one found fault with my neckcloth another with my mind the lank Mr.
The white-coated soda clerk approached the table for payment, and the terror which crept into Sid's face was strangely like that on Mordaunt's when the police had broken into the river hut. He drew out his inadequate supply of small change and looked at it blankly. "Come, boys," prompted the man of syrups and sodawater, "I can't wait all day." "I haven't enough money," whispered Sid at last.
Foker's lodgings, which he knew from the direction given to him by that gentleman on the previous day. On reaching these apartments, which were over a chemist's shop whose stock of cigars and sodawater went off rapidly by the kind patronage of his young inmates, Pen only found Mr.

There may be; there IS something on the other side. I'll win through to that. Mr Bethany had been listening attentively. He scrambled up from his knees with a half-empty syphon of sodawater.
I cannot understand why Mrs. Smith, with her absurd figure for really I can apply no other adjective to it should wear that most absurdly tight dress. Some one should tell her what a fright it makes of her. She is nothing but convexities. She looks exactly like an hour-glass, or a sodawater machine. At a little distance you can hardly tell whether she is coming to you, or going away from you.
Near the little village of Friga I tasted an agua agria, a natural sodawater, which the people hold to be of sovereign value for beast as well as man. It increases digestion and makes happy mothers, like the fountain of Villaflor on the Tenerifan 'Pike '-slope. I found it resembling an eau gazeuse left in the open all night.
On my return home I got out two of the extinguishers which were left in my back hall for use in case of an emergency, and tested one of them on the lawn. I merely wished to ascertain if it would work with spirit, and it did; it went off like a sodawater fountain loaded with dynamite, and I felt truly happy for the first time in many days.
There was Miss Livingstone, the fiery, emotional old maid who couldn't tell the truth; old Mr. Smith, a lawyer without clients, who read Shakespeare and Dryden all day long in his dusty office; Bobbie Jones, the effeminate drug clerk, who wrote free verse and "movie" scenarios, and tended the sodawater fountain. Claude was her one hope.
