"So that's what you were," said the American after a pause; "a remittance man, simply drifting over the face of the earth, supported by your family, boozing your life away, and always longing to see England again?" "You can put things so raw, Madden," responded Caradoc with a ghost of a smile. "I am, not were." "Were," insisted the American quickly.
You just eat what you like, so long as you go on buying drinks or having them bought for you. There's a lot more there to eat than you want. You don't want much when you're boozing. I lived on counter lunches once crayfish and celery mostly, with vinegar and cayenne for four months. I spent not a single penny on food the whole time. Then I nearly died in hospital.
And these noble women, whose names are respected in the very brothels and boozing kens of Boiler Avenue, are referred to by this foul parody on God's masterpiece as "a party of irresponsible old freaks." Christ! is it possible that aught born of woman that any animal that can learn to walk on its hinder legs should sink to such infamous depths of degradation!
"May my head be cut off if it isn't her." With one shove the zinc-worker made his way through the crowd. Mon Dieu! yes, it was Nana! And in a nice pickle too! She had nothing on her back but an old silk dress, all stained and sticky from having wiped the tables of boozing dens, and with its flounces so torn that they fell in tatters round about. Not even a bit of a shawl over her shoulders.
Happily for him, he became violently sick, and then, having washed his face in a brook and taken a draught of cold water, he was able to enjoy the beautiful coast scenery the party ultimately reached. "Is not this much better than sitting smoking and boozing with that thick-headed fellow, Blackall, and his set?" said Ernest, addressing young Eden. "Indeed it is," was the answer.
I must go to the bottom whether there's one or not. And just now I see but one way." "And what is that?" inquired both his companions in some alarm. "Oh, I mustn't threaten it," said Green, "or I shall never have the stomach to do it. But dear me, this boozing ken is a very unfit place for you, you are champagne-gents, not dog's nose ones.
The horse belonged to an English University man. I went in to see how Jack was. He was lying in the parlour on a little, worn-out, horse-hair sofa, that might have seen better days in some clean home in the woman-and-girl world. He had been drinking and playing cards till early that morning, and he looked awful he looked as if he'd been boozing for a month.
I found I was out by what might easily cover six months' salary and profit, and I could have kicked myself all round the village to have been such a blamed ass, sitting boozing with that Case instead of attending to my own affairs and taking stock. However, there's no use crying over spilt milk. It was done now, and couldn't be undone.
He was a prominent figure at the Old Manninglea corn market, known by sight in its streets, and had recently been chosen as a member of its very select tradesmen's club. This was an affair truly different from that vulgar boozing circle at the Gauntlet Inn which he had denounced so contemptuously in old days.
But me, I certainly hand it to these magazines. They've brought ole George F. Babbitt into camp, and that's the answer to the critics! "The more manly and practical a fellow is, the more he ought to lead the enterprising Christian life. Me for it! Cut out this carelessness and boozing and Rone! Where the devil you been? This is a fine time o' night to be coming in!"
