Dipsomaniacs are always intending to reform; but they rarely succeed. Has Lucy been put to bed?" "Lucy is in disgrace," said Elinor. Marian looked at her apprehensively. "In disgrace!" said Conolly, more seriously. "How so?" Elinor described what had taken place in the garden. When she told how the child had disregarded Marian's appeal, Conolly laughed.
'But that was after the convent; the convent was intended for the reformation of dipsomaniacs, female drunkards, she said; 'but it was afterwards that I became a Roman Catholic. Dick had no wish to hear what dogma it was that had tempted her, but it amused him as he returned home to think of all the strange things that Mrs.
They do not realise that in reality they do differ from ordinary citizens; I realise the difference, but can find no reason for it. No! it is not drink, although a few of them were dipsomaniacs, for generally they were sober men. I will own my ignorance, and say that I do not know what that little something is that makes a man into a criminal instead of constituting him into a hero.
That's it, dammit; that's the bond of sympathy: Blake and Finnegan, Finnegan and Blake dipsomaniacs. Lord, I never thought. I've seen him drunker than Finnegan, and if it wasn't for his position and obligations, he'd see spiders, too." Mr. Dalrymple was not the only one on board who disapproved of "Dutch courage" for captains.
You see splendid types; lots of dipsomaniacs . . . . It 's useful to me," he went on as they passed a police-station, "to walk about at night; one can take so much more notice. I had a jolly night last week in Hyde Park; a chance to study human nature there." "And do you find it interesting?" asked Shelton. His companion smiled. "Awfully," he replied; "I saw a fellow pick three pockets."
"I do not think that it is in the interests of justice that they should find him," he said gravely. "I place the utmost reliance on him. I am sending Mr. Jackson to a farm in Ontario kept by a medical friend of mine who has made a hobby of dealing with dipsomaniacs." He met her eyes unfalteringly. "Dr. van Heerden," she said slowly, "you are sending Mr. Jackson to Red Horse Valley."
Gets worse, I think, as the wedding-day approaches. Trying to drown his apprehensions, I suspect. Funny fellow, Giddings. But he's all right from noon to nine P.M." "I think we'll have to organize a dipsomaniacs' hospital for our crowd," said I, "if things keep going on as they are tending now! I didn't think Giddings was so many kinds of an ass!"
This cry of "Save the children" has in it the hateful implication that it is impossible to save the fathers; in other words, that many millions of grown-up, sane, responsible and self-supporting Europeans are to be treated as dirt or debris and swept away out of the discussion; called dipsomaniacs because they drink in public houses instead of private houses; called unemployables because nobody knows how to get them work; called dullards if they still adhere to conventions, and called loafers if they still love liberty.
Instead of that, we spend a lot of money to feed his degrading appetite and further paralyze his mind. It is precisely as if the community provided free champagne for dipsomaniacs, or hired lecturers to convert the army to the doctrines of the Bolsheviki. Of the abominable cruelties practised in zoos it is unnecessary to make mention.
A serious book about artists regarded as artists is unreadable; and a book about artists regarded as lovers, husbands, dipsomaniacs, heroes, and the like is really not worth writing again. Jean-Christophe is the stock artist of literature, just as Professor Radium of 'Comic Cuts' is its stock man of science." "I'm sorry to hear I'm as uninteresting as all that," said Gombauld.
