However, the officer permitted himself to unbend a trifle under the influence of a hospitable tender of home-made cherry-bounce, "strong enough to walk from here to Colbury," according to the sheriff's appreciative phrase. He was a portly man, with a rolling, explanatory cant of his burly head and figure toward his interlocutor as he talked.
Every man adopted a special diet or a favourite liquor brandy, whiskey, bitters, cherry-bounce, sarsaparilla. My own particular preventive was hot tea, sweetened with molasses and seasoned with cayenne pepper. I survived, but that does not prove anything in particular. The two papers, the 'Joliet Signal' and the 'True Democrat', scarcely ever mentioned the cholera.
She wants some cherry-bounce." "Oh, all right, Mr. Peet. You needn't bother to come down. It's just little Mary Cary." And she opened the door a tiny crack and peeped through. "Mr. Peet isn't very well to-night," she said. "He's taken fresh cold. But you can come in." I came; but I didn't want to. And if Mr. Peet had come down those steps and shaken hands I wouldn't have been surprised.
"Twelve or fourteen in the class, but I dare say they won't all come." "Bless me, child, you will have to charter an omnibus to carry them about." "Why, Mother, how can you think of such a thing? Not more than six or eight will probably come, so I shall hire a beach wagon and borrow Mr. Laurence's cherry-bounce." "All of this will be expensive, Amy." "Not very.
Here is this fellow, Boyston McGurny, been about here two years, and a reward for five hundred dollars out for his arrest." "That's Boy's fault, Sher'ff, not our'n," leered the glib old man. He, too, had had a sip of the stalwart cherry-bounce. "Boy's in no wise sociable." "It's plumb flying in the face of the law," declared the officer.
He never came to the cabin, but was immediately employed forward, in such service as he was able to perform. It was afterwards understood that he was destined for the navy. The very day that Cooper joined us, was one of deep disgrace to me. The small stores came on board for the cabin, and Dan McCoy persuaded me to try the flavour of a bottle of cherry-bounce.
She wanted some cherry-bounce for Eliza Green, who had an awful pain, and after I'd knocked, I'd have run if I'd dared. In the hall I could hear Mrs. Peet pounding on the floor with her stick. Then her little piping voice: "Mr. Peet, Mr. Peet, you'd better come down! There's some one at the door! You'd better come down, Mr. Peet!" "It's just Mary Cary!" I called. "Miss Bray sent me, Mrs. Peet.
Poor Nanny was supporting her mistress's head when I went in; and she said, with tears, that there was no depending on any one but us. They both looked glad enough to see me: but then, nothing would satisfy Mrs Howell but that I should warm myself, and be seated." "To the last! and she offered you some cherry-bounce, I suppose." "Yes; just as usual.
Let me have the honour a glass of mulled port wine, or a drop of cherry-bounce. Miss Miskin you will oblige us the cherry-bounce, you know." Miss Miskin received the keys from the girdle with a smile of readiness; but Lady Hunter declined refreshment. She explained that she felt more collected than she might otherwise have done, from her not having been taken by surprise.
His father had killed himself with brandy; the son, more elevated in his tastes, was doing the same thing with curacoa, maraschino, and cherry-bounce.
