And whatever name he said, they beat him, saying, 'No! And he said, 'Praised be God for safety! Bravo! Bravo! O khan of Abou Mensour! Then the damsel rose and put on her clothes and they returned to their carousing and the cup passed round awhile.
Looking up a map of Ford County, I was delighted to find that my camp on Saw Log was but a few miles below the north line. Among the boys the day passed in riotousness. The carousing was a necessary stimulant after the long, monotonous drive and exposure to the elements.
When they slipped back into the Garden they found that the Fractions had been drinking so heavily that many of them were snoring loudly under the multiplication tables; and the rest were carousing so uproariously that they took no notice whatever of the preparations for their overthrow.
The tents of the miners were grouped together, within a comparatively small radius, and on all sides could be heard-it was now past ten-the deep breathing of men exhausted by the day's toils. This would not ordinarily have been the case at so early an hour, for when there was whisky in the camp, there was often late carousing.
The loud singing of carousing German mercenaries, the neighing and stamping of the horses, and the laughter of the officers and girls, drowned the low chanting of the priests and the murmur of the penitents, but the shrill sounding of the bell calling to mass from time to time pierced, with its swift vibrations, through the noise of the camp.

Only what about the other children? Are they still carousing in that wicked way in the garret?" "No. I am sure they have gone to bed, thoroughly ashamed of themselves. But I will go and see to them." "One thing more, child.
Then the would-be purchaser found he could have a place two doors below. He did not like it as well, but it would answer. "It seems as if I was bound to have a rum shop and a sailor's boarding-house under my nose. There'll be a crowd of men hanging round and fiddling and carousing half the night. I don't see what's getting into Boston!
Already the ungrateful passengers had begun to tire of the ship, though in our absence in Syria it had been carefully cleansed and purified; though it was cleared of the swarming Jews who had infested the decks all the way from Constantinople; and though we had been feasting and carousing in the manner described above.
He hunted the deer with some of his schoolfellows from Tiverton and they played truant for fear of punishment. They fell in with some Gypsies feasting and carousing and asked to be allowed to "enlist into their company." The Gypsies admitted them after the "requisite ceremonies" and "proper oaths." The philosophy of Carew or his historian is worth noticing.
