Marie certainly seemed to be well "over it." There could be no harm in telling. "Well, when I saw him he was at Alpine; that's a little burg up in the edge of the mountains, on the W. P. He didn't look none too prosperous, at that. But he had money he was playing poker and that kind of thing. And he was drunk as a boiled owl, and getting drunker just as fast as he knew how.
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.
This mariner had got quite a good effect of sea-legs by some means, and looked rather drunker than a man with both arms ought to be; but he was very affectionate, and, putting his face close to the other's, at once entered into talk with the blind man, forming with him a picture curiously pathetic and grotesque.
Luke Tweezy the money-lender, the man who was supposed to still possess the first dollar he ever earned, had actually bought three eighths of one bottle of whiskey and the whole of another. Racey Dawson greatly desired to laugh. But he didn't dare. He was too busy being drunk and getting drunker.
Publicity, I thought, is the only weapon Dad knows how to use. He thinks it's invincible. Me, I wouldn't bet on what Steve Ravick wouldn't dare do if you gave me a hundred to one. Ravick had been in power too long, and he was drunker on it than Bish Ware ever got on Baldur honey-rum. As an intoxicant, rum is practically a soft drink beside power.
Danny was a man of twenty-four, and his body was a man's body. The contrast was still more striking as they stood together in the center of the ring receiving the referee's last instructions. Rivera noticed Roberts sitting directly behind the newspaper men. He was drunker than usual, and his speech was correspondingly slower. "Take it easy, Rivera," Roberts drawled.
'I had my pick o' you two, he explained to Learoyd, 'and you got my palanquin not before I'd made my profit on it. Why'd I do harm when everything's settled? Your man DID come here drunk as Davy's sow on a frosty night came a-purpose to mock me stuck his head out of the door an' called me a crucified hodman. I made him drunker, an' sent him along. But I never touched him.
And that reminds me: Take the case of two old mates who've been together all their lives, say they always had their regular sprees together and went through the same stages of drunkenness together, and suffered their recoveries and sobered up together, and each could stand about the same quantity of drink and one never got drunker than the other.
The young man was actually staggering, and I immediately decided that he was drunker than a whole batch of lords. "Yer isn't fit ter be goin'," the old fellow was objecting. "Ye jist come back ter th' house an' git ter bed, where ye belongs. Ye'll get a mite o' sleep an' feel better. 'Tain't fair ter be goin' again right off. You can't hardly be a-holdin' of yerself up."
"You're drunk already," the doctor answered gruffly. "I'll be drunker before the morning," the clerk remarked, with a feeble laugh. "I wish I had Dresser here; I'd like to pound him once." That desire was repeated in the looks of many men, who were still glowering at the afternoon's quotations. Carson, the idol of the new "promotions," seemed to be the man most in demand for pounding.
