Throughout the Morvan, and in that region of Burgundy which lies at its feet on the side toward Paris, this boiled wine with which Mam Tonsard reproached her father is a rather costly beverage which plays a great part in the life of the peasantry, and is made by all grocers and wine-dealers, and wherever a drinking-shop exists.
Of course the colonel would have given us a wigging, but at heart he would have been as pleased at the joke as any of us. But it is a different affair here." Going out, they continued their talk and arranged their plans. Late the following night two English officers rushed suddenly into a drinking-shop close to the gate through which the road to Valladolid passed.
On Christmas eve itself, a number of men, carters, and peddlers, were seated at table, drinking and smoking around four or five candles in the public room of Thenardier's hostelry. This room resembled all drinking-shop rooms, tables, pewter jugs, bottles, drinkers, smokers; but little light and a great deal of noise.
"But may not the people, in any community, pass laws, through their delegated law-makers, restraining evil-minded persons from injuring the common good?" "Oh, certainly certainly."

"Ah! but there must be houses of public entertainment."
You might have put a full glass of water on the litter, and they would not have spilled a drop." Yes, indeed! Good people, rude and rough, no doubt, in many ways, coarse sometimes, and even brutal, bad to meet on shore the day after pay-day, or coming out from a drinking-shop, but keeping under the rough outside a heart of gold, childlike simplicity, and the sacred fire of noblest devotion.

It was through them that Maxence knew what was said in your house when my mother and brother were staying there." "How did you get proof of such a monstrous thing?" "I overheard their conversation one night as they were leaving a drinking-shop. Your grandsons both owe Max more than three thousand francs.
All this he said in his companion's ear, and with his hand before his lips. 'Even here, he went on in the same way, 'even in this mean drinking-shop, society pursues me. Madame defames me, and her guests defame me. I, too, a gentleman with manners and accomplishments to strike them dead! But the wrongs society has heaped upon me are treasured in this breast.
"What!" added Gevrol to his companions, "don't you know Mother Chupin's drinking-shop there on the right. Run." And, setting the example, he dashed off in the direction indicated. His men followed, and in less than a minute they reached a hovel of sinister aspect, standing alone, in a tract of waste ground. It was indeed from this den that the cries had proceeded.
There is near by a decent establishment where we can converse as two philosophers should, and I feel sure your unavowed desire is to conduct your old instructor thither, the master who initiated you in the Latin rudiments." They entered a drinking-shop perfumed with so strong a reek of kirsch and absinthe as took Servien's breath away.
