"You see, in the reports that have lately appeared in the local papers of the melancholy and terrible days of the last pogrom, there have very often been indications that among the instigators of the pogrom who were paid and organised by the police the dregs of society, consisting of drunkards, tramps, souteneurs, and hooligans from the slums thieves were also to be found.
I have spoken to drunkards all over Swansea, but I neglected my own charge that God had given to me. Dr Chapman woke me up to approach my own household and children. It was the greatest struggle in all my life.
A little yellow dog, a half-starved cur, followed him, barking; stopping when he stopped, and starting off when he started. "Hallo," said Marambot, "there is Madame Husson's 'Rosier'. "Madame Husson's 'Rosier'," I exclaimed in astonishment. "What do you mean?" The doctor began to laugh. "Oh, that is what we call drunkards round here.
Neither your father nor grandfather were drunkards. Your mother's name can not be mentioned; she never deigned to taste any thing but cider. Whose fault is it then? That cursed Frenchman's; he taught three fine things, that miserable dog that pagan for thy teacher, as if his lordship, thy father, had not people of his own."
In Dumas the gaoler was but gagged and bound: but in Scotland life went for little, and some of the authorities say that when the Prince saw the drunkards in his power, "he lap from the board and strak the captane with ane whinger and slew him, and also stiked other two with his own hand."

To be drunk to the point of not feeling that one is on fire; to set one's self aflame, like a bonfire on St. John's day; to disappear in smoke to the last bone.
Swearers had been changed to men of prayer and praise, and drunkards had become sober men "Through that little book, I suppose?" asked Bones quickly. "Not altogether, but partly by means of it."

"What do you mean," he said, "by its being only `partly' the means of saving men from drink?"
"What are you looking for, Uncle Bob?" asked Diddie. "Des er few buckeyes, honey," answered the old man. "What you goin' ter du with 'em?" asked Dumps, as the little girls joined him in his search. "Well, I don't want ter die no drunkard, myse'f," said Uncle Bob, whose besetting sin was love of whiskey. "Does buckeyes keep folks from dying drunkards?" asked Dumps.
He was in a "Babylon of disgust," in a "Hell," surrounded by "drunkards," "wineskins," "scoundrels," and the like. From the moment of his arrival he had strained every nerve to retain the Spanish troops, and to send them away by sea when it should be no longer feasible to keep them. Escovedo shared in the sentiments and entered fully into the schemes of his chief.
In these cities there were in 1898, 294,820 people arrested for drunkeness, almost ten times as many as now comprise our army in the Philippines. If this great army of drunkards were marshalled for a parade, marching twenty abreast, it would require four and one-half days, marching ten hours a day, for them to pass a given point.
