Why not stand at once upon your merits, which I am sure are quite sufficient? Of course it would be a little come-down for me just at first; but that's no matter. Susan. It will be much easier to do that if they think I am a born lady. Appearances do such a deal in the world. Nokes. Yes, my dear, I've noticed that in the wine-trade.
"In the wine-trade," said he. "Instead of coming to Llangollen," said I, "and entering into the wine-trade, you should have gone to London, and enlisted into the Life Guards." "Well," said he, with a smile, "I had once or twice thought of doing so. However, fate brought me to Llangollen, and I am not sorry that she did, for I have done very well here."
Ladies, Cavaliers, and Peasants Dissertation upon Wines The Clerks of Funchal Decay of the Wine-Trade Cultivation of Pine-Trees A Night in the Streets Beautiful Church A Sunday-evening Party Currency of Madeira. January 19, 1844. We made Madeira yesterday, but, the weather being thick and squally, stood off and on until to-day. Our ship rides gently at her anchor.
The bright young barrister who can't get a brief takes to literature as a calling, just as the man who has 'gone a cropper' in the army takes to the wine-trade. And what æons of time, and what millions of money, have been wasted in the meanwhile!
I embarked my capital in the wine-trade, and, could I have restrained myself from drinking, should have been successful, and in a short time might have doubled my property, as I stated to Mr Evelyn; but now I had become an irreclaimable drunkard; and when that is the case, all hope is over.
There was a slight mistake in the narrative; but we carried our man, with only a trifling sprinkling of black beans in the boxes: Byles's, of course, who blackballs everybody: and Bung's, who looks down upon a coal-merchant, having himself lately retired from the wine-trade. Some fortnight afterwards I saw Sackville Maine under the following circumstances: He was showing the Club to his family.
Again, the revolution in the wine-trade of 1860-61 brought with it certain Continental ideas. In France a glass of Madeira follows soup, and in Austria it is drunk in liqueur-glasses like Tokay. The island wine must change once more to suit public taste.
Come, you're a sensible, good girl, and have helped me out of several difficulties; now, do you think you can help me out of this one? Nokes. An almanac? Of course I have. I have given up the wine-trade, but I have not given up the habit so essential to business-men of carrying an almanac in my breast-pocket. Here it is. Nokes. What won't do?
At present port is tolerably free from adulteration, though its casks and those of an inferior red wine of Spain after voyaging to England sometimes find their contents a little mixed. Oporto is the seat of the wine-trade, and its huge warehouses are filled with stores of port ripening to a good old age, when the garnet will be exchanged for a dark umber tint.
