There's Sandy, now, he would knock Keefe's head off as a kind of religious exercise; but to-morrow Keefe will be sober, and Sandy will be drunk as a lord, and the drunker he is the better Presbyterian he'll be; to the preacher's disgust. Then after another pause he added bitterly, 'But it is not for me to throw rocks at Sandy; I am not the same kind of fool, but I am a fool of several other sorts.
As he grew drunker the dreams faded and he became a confused spectre, moving in odd crannies of his own mind, full of unexpected devices, harshly contemptuous at best and reaching sodden and dispirited depths. One night in June he had quarrelled violently with Maury over a matter of the utmost triviality. He remembered dimly next morning that it had been about a broken pint bottle of champagne.
"That's if he doesn't get any drunker and forget," Joe said. Everybody, even Tom, looked at him in angry reproach. "We better find out what he drinks and buy you a jug of it, Joe," Oscar's gunner told him. The Helldiver, which had been closest to us when our signal had been picked up, was the first ship in.
Ge' me?" Later he sauntered off on slightly unsteady legs to promenade himself in the lobby and Peacock Alley. Three men left the barroom when he left. They continued to keep him in view.

I couldn't help my grandfather if I wanted to." "You have what is left of three hundred pounds," said Lala Roy. "If I said that last night," replied Joe, "I must have been drunker than I thought. You old fool! the flimsies were duffers. Where do you think I could raise three hundred pounds? No, no I'm sorry for the old man, but I can't help him. I'm going to see him again in a day or two.
"Here," she said, "here's a bribe. You find him and give him my message. You tell him if he isn't here in five minutes I'm coming up."

He was drunker than he had been earlier in the evening and in a different way.
The drunker he was the more pathos and humor he wrung from the old violin, his sole piece of personal property. He had a singular fancy for getting up at two or three o'clock in the morning, and playing by an open casement, to the distraction of all the dogs in the immediate neighborhood and innumerable dogs in the distance.
