If a man holds a flagon beneath a spigot with an unsteady hand, half of the precious liquor will be spilt on the ground. Those who fulfil the conditions, of which I have already been speaking, may make quite sure that according to their faith will it be unto them.
Most of the crew were already drunk, but they had the sense to chain me by one leg to the foremast, and then made me run back and forth between them and the barrel. I was only too glad. No cannikin was skimped while I was at the spigot. I looked around and remembered some of the wild nights we had seen on the old Revenge.

Nor does this measure the whole tribute expected to be offered at these dainty shrines of marble and silver.
He worked his way down the long line that stood nearest the spigot, now staggering and splashing as he lugged a full pail, now scampering back happily with an empty one.

Then she began to rinse the garments in cold water which ran from a spigot near by. "You have nearly finished," said Mme Boche. "I am waiting to help you wring them." "Oh, you are very good!
