Anyway, he was off that night packing grub up while Farrell held down the claim. Mac had a jug of booze with him. He got Farrell tanked up. You know Mac how he can put it across when he's a mind to. He's a forceful devil, and he can be a mighty likable one." Elliot nodded understanding. "He's always the head of the table no matter where he sits.
As soon as the lecturer came on I piped him for a guy that used to pull teeth on the Bowery with a brass band accompaniment and a gasoline torch, and I remembered that at that time he could punish more booze than any man I ever knew.

Casey puffed hard on his pipe.
Then his comrade would look him up and chaff him unmercifully when he found him hanging to his knotty cord like a smoked ham, and he would call to him to come down and have a glass of wine. And that settled it. The zinc-worker would send the job to blazes and commence a booze which lasted days and weeks.

Thornton did not speak, did not turn, did not move that a man might see. But the fingers of the hand at his side twitched suddenly and for a moment were tense. "Pollard can't help being mostly rattlesnake," he muttered angrily.
"Me, I ain't never got the sense to do the traffic cop on the booze. The old woman she says to me, `Mory, she says, `if you was in heaven and there was a pail of beer on one side and a gold harp on the other, she says, `and you was to have your pick, which would you take?
