"Very true; but we can ice our negus and cherry-water. Rough ice is only twopence a pound, I believe." "Well, that will be an improvement." "And there shall be more, or I'll be in the Bench," replied the doctor, in his wrath. The next conversazione for which cards were issued by Doctor Feasible, was on a superior scale. There was a considerable increase of company. Everything went off well.
It was the way which the saints themselves had opened, the thing she had to do; and the sooner it was done the better for mamma. She uncorked the bottle of cherry-water, good for that troublesome heart of poor madame's. All that Alick had told her of the action of poisons came back upon her as clearly as her mother's words, her mother's voice.
Negus and cherry-water were added to tea in the refreshment-room; and the conversazione of Doctor Plausible was pronounced by those who had been invited to both, infinitely superior to that of Doctor Feasible. A good-natured friend called upon Doctor and Mrs Feasible with the news. They pretended indifference, as they bit their lips to conceal their vexation. As soon as he took his leave

The Lord Spencers Cherry-water. Take a pottle of new Sack, four pound of through ripe Cherries stoned, put them into an earthen pot, to which put an ounce of Cinnamon, Saffron unbruised one dram, tops of Balm, Rosemary or their flowers, of each one handful, let them stand close covered twenty four hours, now and then stirring them; then put them into a cold Still, to which put of beaten Amber two drams, Corianderseed one ounce, Alkerms one dram, and distill it leisurely, and when it is fully distilled, put to it twenty grains of Musk.
I have been to Mrs Allwood's twice, and there's no supper, nothing but feast of reason, which remains upstairs, and they're welcome to my share of it. As for the drink, it's negus and cherry-water; nothing else, and if the flow of soul is not better than such stuff, they may have my share of that also. No music, no dancing, nothing but buzz, buzz, buzz. Won't you feel it stupid!"
I begged it of Mr Tomkins, on purpose to compare it." "Well, then, my dear, we must order others, and mind that they measure an inch more than his. It shall cost him something before we have done, I'm determined." "You heard what Mr Smithson said? They gave negus and cherry-water." "We must do the same. I've a great mind to give ices." "Oh! my love, remember the expense."
She looked at it with its eloquent paper marked "Poison" wound about it spirally like a snake, uncorked it and emptied half into the cherry-water. "Two drops are enough, and there are more than two there," she said to herself. "Mamma must be safe now." And with this she left the room and went into her own to watch and wait. It was early to-night when Mrs. Dundas retired.
