"I will that!" the bartender returned heartily. "This green-eyed fairy stuff ain't for me; it's for a dame in the back room one of the regulars. She's been hittin' it up all the morning, but it don't seem to affect her funny, too, for she ain't a boozer, as a general thing. Her guy's gone back on her, an' she's sore. I'll be with you in a minute."
A glass or two is very well, and better still when sweetened by the lips of a pretty girl; and, even if the Dominie does not like it, he's too much of a gentleman not to give up his dislikes to please a lady. More's the merit; for, if he did like it, it would be no sacrifice, that's sartain. Don't you think so, my old boozer?" continued he, addressing Stapleton, who smoked in silence.
"Say, Willie," he muttered cajolingly, "could you cough up a dime out of your coffers for a cup of coffee this morning?" "I'm lung-weary, my friend," said I. "The best I can do is three cents." "And you look like a gentleman, too," said he. "What brung you down? boozer?" "Birds," I said fiercely.
He kept his spirits, nevertheless; but his gaiety was of a different kind more timid, more humble; and he lived in a constant, childlike fear of his wife, who grumbled from morning till night: "Look at him there the great glutton! the good-for-nothing creature, the old boozer!

I'm going to meet her when we get to Singapore, or my name's not Mallow." Craig laughed with malice. "I hope she sticks the pin into your throat. It will take some of the brag out of you.
Tom had said the man had no money and was a boozer. He could be defeated, bought cheap. He was himself at work on the instrument of the man's defeat. Hugh left his shop and went for a walk, and the problem connected with the twisting of the iron and steel parts of the hay-loading apparatus into new forms was again left unsolved.
"Now you may go on deck, Bokes," added Graines, as he drove the boozer ahead of him, and followed his superior. He instructed the men in the waist to keep an eye on Bokes, and sent him forward. Then he took the precaution to lock the doors at the companion-way, and joined Christy on the quarterdeck.
He opened the door and stood on the threshold. His eyes seemed close together, and there was a long red scar on his bare neck, where he had on a former occasion cut his throat. All the scholars were afraid of Barney, and the girls climbed up on the benches and began to scream. Philip went up to the Boozer and said: "Well, my friend, what do you want here?" "The devil knows," replied Barney.
A man in my company, Frank Boozer, was struck by a glancing bullet on the scalp and fell, as was thought, dead. There he lay, while hundreds and hundreds trampled over him, and it was near day when he gained consciousness and made his way for the mountain to the right.
Cox at the other end of the table, 'How very affecting he is now, how severely natural; the innocence of a young girl in her teens is not, to my mind, nearly so touching as that of a boozer in his cups.
