After which, according to Gaimar, Hereward tarried three days at Stamford, laying a heavy tribute on the burgesses for harboring Thorold and his Normans; and also surprised at a drinking-bout a certain special enemy of his, and chased him from room to room sword in hand, till he took refuge shamefully in an outhouse, and begged his life.
After a while, he said aloud, no one understanding rightly what he meant, "Tush! it is impossible!" and called for claret; and he and the other gentlemen set-to to a drinking-bout. I now come to the time in which I myself was mixed up with the people that I have been writing about.

A farewell among workmen is simply a drinking-bout, a parting glass taken overnight. Hans has many friends; these appoint a place of assemblage, and invite him thither.

For I remembered that the funeral rites of a king must be paid with a drinking-bout.
She must have rocked back and forth between the shore and the reef, for when they found her, her body was badly battered. From the cliff above, they said, she looked at first like a monstrous catch of seaweed on the sand Her hair Follet had treated himself to a three days' drinking-bout, and only emerged, blanched and palsied, into a town filled with the clamor of her funeral.
