A man in a flannel shirt and pair of shabby plaid trousers, which owed their precarious position to a pair of worn-out braces, turned a beery eye upon the newcomer. "I'll 'ave one with you, guvnor," he said. "You shall indeed," Sir Timothy assented. "Strike me lucky but I've touched first time!" the man exclaimed. "I'll 'ave a double tot of whisky," he added, addressing the barman.
In fact, Eric was very glad of some one no matter who to keep him in countenance, for he felt consider ably more than half ashamed of himself. They went to "The Jolly Herring," as the pot-house was called, and passed through the dingy beery tap-room into the back parlor, to which Eric had already been introduced by Wildney.
But the soldiers' daily swim in the harbour is undisturbed by sharks, and the feel of the soft water is like satin to their bodies. Not for these spare and slender figures the prickly heat that torments fat and beery German bodies and makes sea-bathing anathema to the Hun.
The relations between Durdles and Deputy are of a capricious kind; for, on Durdles's turning himself about with the slow gravity of beery suddenness, Deputy makes a pretty wide circuit into the road and stands on the defensive. 'You never cried Widdy Warning before you begun to-night, says Durdles, unexpectedly reminded of, or imagining, an injury.
"What do they call it a bar for, then?" asked the beery person; "a bar's a bar, isn't it?" "Yes, a bar's a bar, and you've got a lot to learn yet. What do they call the speaker 'the speaker' for?" "Because he can speak, of course," said the beery gentleman. "Shut up, man," said Cowan; "don't show your ignorance, and let me go on with the argument. It's not that at all."
It didn't take this direction I couldn't, unsolicited, put myself at that sort of ease with Brooksmith. Several times the door of the room opened and mysterious old women peeped in and shuffled back again. I don't know who they were; poor Brooksmith seemed encompassed with vague prying beery females.
And at the bottom of them the door was, as Noël said, not fastened. We went in. "It isn't beery, winey cellars at all," Alice said; "it's more like a robber's store-house. Look there." We had got to the inner cellar, and there were heaps of carrots and other vegetables. "Halt, my men!" cried Oswald, "advance not an inch further! The bandits may lurk not a yard from you!"
Dirt, clamour, oyster-shells, ginger-beer bottles, stolid curiosity, beery satisfaction, careworn stall-keepers with babies-in-arms and strange trust about their wares and honesty over change; giddy-go-rounds, photograph booths, marionettes, the fat woman, the double-headed monstrosity, and the teeming beer-houses Poor Madame! The contrast was terrible. She would not enter a booth.
'For, as I allays ses, remarked one wiseacre, 'it's an ill wind as don't blow good to somebody. 'Yah! growled Mosk, in his beery voice, 'it's about as broad as it's long so far as I'm concerned. I've lost a couple of quid through Jentham goin' and gettin' shot, and it will take a good many tankards of bitter at thru'p'nce to make that up. 'Oo d'y think shot 'im, Mr Mosk?
A human voice or presence, like a spring in the desert, was now welcome in itself, and Otto drew bridle to await the coming of this stranger. He proved to be a very red-faced, thick-lipped countryman, with a pair of fat saddle-bags and a stone bottle at his waist; who, as soon as the Prince hailed him, jovially, if somewhat thickly, answered. At the same time he gave a beery yaw in the saddle.
