Frank replied in scarcely intelligible language, with a swimming gaze, tending to the cross-eyed, at the captain, "that there was nothing in partiggler the mare with him, but he was very busy. "Busy?" said Captain Edney, severely; "what do you mean?" "Not busy; but busy, busy!" repeated Frank. "You mean dizzy?" "Yes, thad's it! bizzy." He had somehow got boozy and dizzy mixed up.
Bockerheisen turned his head around and stared at The Croak in an evidently painful effort to grasp the idea. "If Boozy t'inks dey're his wotes " "Yah," said Bockerheisen reflectively. "And pays all de heavy 'spences of uniforms an' beer " "Yah," said Bockerheisen, with an affable smile. "But w'en dey comes to wote " "Yah," said Bockerheisen, opening his eyes.
Poor fellow! he was quite boozy last night, and hardly seems to be over it yet. Let us draw nigher and hear what they say. Notwithstanding the ladys reluctance, Richard, stimulated doubtless by his sense of duty, prevailed; and they were soon so near as distinctly to hear sounds. The bird must he had, said Natty, by fair means or foul. Heigho!
What has become of that boozy vagabond? And the house-maid came and scrubbed his nose with sandpaper; and once, when the Princess Angelica's little sister was born, he was tied up in an old kid glove; and, another night, some LARKING young men tried to wrench him off, and put him to the most excruciating agony with a turn screw.
The more patiently to await him, I lighted a cigar, and establishing myself in a corner, took a quiet, and, by sympathy, a boozy kind of pleasure in the customary life that was going forward. The saloon was fitted up with a good deal of taste.
And, on the other hand, as Colonel Boozy heard the drums and fifes of the Bockerheisen Club, and saw its transparency glowing in the street, he would summon all his friends to the bar to take a drink with him.
It couldn't be no, of course it couldn't be possible, that there is any connecting link between the American peculiarity of elevating the feet on the window-sill or the drum of the heating-stove and this old-time custom of elevating the feet of those of our ancestors possessed of boozy, hilarious proclivities!
A squatty, castle-like church-tower, that has stood the brunt of many centuries, frowns down upon a cluster of picturesque, thatched cottages of primitive architecture, and ivy-clad from top to bottom; while, to make the picture complete, there remain even the old wooden stocks, through the holes of which the feet of boozy unfortunates were wont to be unceremoniously thrust in the good old times of rude simplicity; in fact, the only really unprimitive building about the place appears to be a newly erected Methodist chapel.
It was on the occasion of a fair, and may perhaps have been an exception to the general rule. One thing is certain it looked very natural, and made me cotton wonderfully to these good people. There was something really homelike in a reeling, staggering crowd their shouts and uproarious songs, their boozy faces and tobacco-stained months. Every body seemed to be on a regular "bender."
Also, unlike the theories of the mere craftsman, his are based always on the assumption that there is such a thing as art something that is created by and appeals to peculiar faculties, something rare and personal, something not to be had simply by taking thought and pains, something as utterly unlike honest craftsmanship as it is unlike the cryptic mutterings of boozy mountebanks: subject, however, to this assumption, his theories are severely practical.
