Whereupon the veteran raised a massive tankard of sparkling cider to his lips and took a mighty draught, which laudable example was immediately followed by all the men present. The Baronet and his protégés then left the hall. There was open house to all comers until after the New Year, and in this way Christmas had been kept up in that part of Devonshire from time immemorial.
No sooner was the tankard brought than Rees taking hold of it held it to the goat's mouth. The creature, however, turned away its head in disgust, and hurried out of the room. This circumstance produced an instantaneous effect upon Rees Pritchard.
The best known of these beverages is cool tankard, composed of wine, water, lemon juice, sugar and borage flowers. To this "they seem to give additional coolness." They are often used similarly in lemonade, negus, claret-cup and fruit juice drinks. The plant has possibly a still more important though undeveloped use as a bee forage.
To these solids was added a comfortable tankard of spirits and water, from which Samoset at once imbibed a protracted draught. "Englishman have better drink than poor Indian," remarked he placing the tankard close beside his plate, and seizing a leg of the duck in his hands.
It has got into my head too." And with that his tongue began to loll out, his head sank back in his easy-chair, and the tankard fell from his hand. "He's had his fill too," said the guests, whereupon four servants raised him from his chair and carried him to his room. But Zurdoki was not drunk after all; he had only been pretending.
"Then supposin' you show me the color o' your money?" he growled, "come, money fust; I aren't takin' no more risks." For answer I laid the coins before him.

I would much sooner have given the value of the silver than have lost that piece!" "Will not the lady let it be tried by the sieve?" asked the old servant: "that is a pretty sure way!"
You have only to go and draw water out of the fountain, and when a poor woman asks you to let her drink, to give it to her very civilly." "I should like to see myself going to the fountain to draw water," said this ill-bred minx. "I insist you shall go," said the mother, "and that instantly." She went, but grumbled all the way, taking with her the best silver tankard in the house.
She lifted up the tankard with one of the finest arms, covered with the biggest bracelets ever seen; and had a bird of paradise on her head, that curled round the pewter disc of the pot as she raised it, like a halo. These peculiarities she had, and has still. She is best away from the genteel world, that is the fact.
It had belonged to Mrs Duncomb's husband. In the tankard was a hundred pounds. Beside the tankard lay a bag containing guinea pieces to the number of twenty or so. This was the bag that Mrs Rhymer had carried over to the old lady's chair by the fire, in order to take from it the needed guinea.
