The old man lent a strong hand to pull up the boat upon the beach, and to lift out the benumbed rowers, and they were presently revived by having their limbs chafed, and by a strong dose of the universal medicine corn-brandy and camphor which in Norway, neither man nor woman, young nor old, sick nor well, thinks of refusing upon occasion.
The men, in addition to this ungallant trait, are much addicted to the use of tobacco and native corn-brandy which, however, I can not but regard as a sign of civilization, since the same habits exist, to some extent, in our own country. Chewing and drinking are just as common as in California, the most enlightened country in the world.
When he had heard all Ulla's complaints, and ordered exactly what she wished large doses of camphor and corn-brandy to keep off the night-fever and daily cough, he was ready to hear whatever else Erica had to ask, for Ulla had hinted that Erica wanted advice. "I do not mind Ulla hearing my words," said Erica. "She knows my trouble."
"God bless you! Welcome, lads; you, Ostap, and you, Andrii. God grant that you may always be successful in war, that you may beat the Musselmans and the Turks and the Tatars; and that when the Poles undertake any expedition against our faith, you may beat the Poles. Come, clink your glasses. How now? Is the brandy good? What's corn-brandy in Latin?
I shall tell him nothing till you are out of hearing; he can repeat to you what he pleases afterwards, and he will indulge you all the more for your giving him a good supper."

"You will not reach his heart that way, Frolich.
He produced five marks, an unusual sum for him to have in his possession, and which would not have found itself in his hands had not his arrest on the previous evening prevented his spending considerably more than he had spent in his favourite corn-brandy. "I want it all," said Schmidt. "You are a cool-blooded fellow," laughed Dumnoff, making as though he would return the coins to his pocket.
As I saw, therefore, that I could have no prospect of meeting the Emperor, I resolved merely to hold myself in readiness, should he, which seemed little likely, think of me; and accordingly I took up my post with some young under-officers of our brigade, at a huge fire, where a species of canteen had been established, and coffee and corn-brandy were served out to all comers.
Oddo could not refrain from trying what these drugs were like; so he helped himself to some of each; and, as he could get no corn-brandy till dinner-time, he was eating the medicines without. Such was the cause of his wry faces.
"Your Majesty is very good," said Falkenhein. "I will do whatever your Majesty desires." The king looked at him searchingly. "Really?" he said. "Certainly, your Majesty. Only, if you will allow me to say so, not for too long a period!" "Very well, very well! till you get the command of my household brigade." His Majesty was holding in his hand a silver cup full of corn-brandy.
The whole party rose when M. Kollsen entered the room, but presently resumed their employments, except Madame Erlingsen, who conducted the pastor to the breakfast-table, and helped him plentifully to reindeer ham, bread-and-butter, and corn-brandy, the usual breakfast. M. Kollsen carried his plate and ate, as he went round to converse with each group.
