As time is an object, he speedily terminates his carousal with the subaltern; who, dismissed, returns to the military cuartel.

Mahe in Brittany, and their crews rejoiced over the captures which they had obtained, and held a great carousal. Eighty well-manned English vessels had, however, sailed from the Cinque Ports, and, surrounding St. Mahe, sent a challenge to their enemies.
"If this goes on, Wulf," Beorn said as they threw themselves down on the ground late that night, when the carousal was ended, "I shall snatch the count's dagger from his belt and bury it in his heart, though they put me to death by torture afterwards." "I thought of doing so myself, Beorn, to-night, when he threw a cup of wine over me.
We were soon at J 's place, where B knocked at a side door, because of the noise of carousal in the front of the house. A beautiful but greatly intoxicated young woman opened the door and began upbraiding B for bringing me. But B marched right in, pulling me after her.

Scopus asked as they left the house. "Ay, lad, I expected it, and knew that sooner or later it would come. What is it?" "Nero ordered me to fetch Aemilia to his foul carousal. I refused.

None of the married men, who for a slight consideration were willing to permit their wives to dance with the traders, objected to the drunken carousal. Ribald songs sounded strange in this region of the world. Yet after Olafaksoah had kicked her and left her lying in the tent, high above the sound of the sailors' doggerel songs, Annadoah frantically called aloud: "Ootah! Ootah!"
