"I would be having a gin fizz at the club," said Hard, pensively, "to be followed possibly by a game of bridge and a dinner a real, human dinner, not just food at my brother John's."
The second match, when struck, would shine and smell, and fizz a little, and then go out. There would be only one match left. Death would ensue if it failed. And I said to myself, "The public don't want any more of this thing: it is played out. Either have a box of matches, or let the first one catch fire." In this gloomy mood I plunged along.
On the whole, Sunday was a sweet and pleasant day, and the children thought so; but, from its being so much quieter than other days, they always got up on Monday full of life and mischief, and ready to fizz over at any minute, like champagne bottles with the wires just cut. This particular Monday was rainy, so there couldn't be any out-door play, which was the usual vent for over-high spirits.
And all was still but the um-um-um of the great beetle or chafer which had passed in through the window, and began circling round just below the whitewashed ceiling, against which its wings brushed from time to time with a faint fizz, till all at once Rodd started up, for his uncle exclaimed "Why, Pickle, what are you about?" "I I nothing, uncle," said the boy hastily.
I sent the foreman of the pressroom out for a bottle of fizz. Sarsaparilla was the nearest he could come to it, but it went. Then I turned my hot young blood loose on the editorial page.
And, conversely, it is the cold, epigrammatic glitter of Congreve's dialogue, the fizz and crackle of the fireworks which Sheridan serves out with undiscriminating hand to the most insignificant of his characters it is this which stamps the work of these dramatists with characteristics far more marked than any which belong to them in right of humorous portraiture of human foibles or ingenious invention of comic incident.
For a few moments nothing was seen or heard of it, and the onlookers were smiling to each other when the wonderful crystals began to splutter and fizz, till the packet suddenly exploded with a loud report, rattling the bottles and jars together, while the rumbling report rolled up the long subterranean passage. "Ha!" exclaimed Edmund, triumphantly.
You've been kidnapped by a lovely lady, had a swell dinner, with plenty of fizz on the side, been introduced to a strong-arm father, and finished on the sidewalk with your lid caved in. And for an assistant auditor who blushes as easy as you do that's what I call kind of a large evening." Ernie nods. Then he chuckles to himself, sort of satisfied, and remarks mushy: "Lovely girl, Louishe."
What a little story, eh? Oh, my holy saints! What in the world is this? Fomínishna! Fomínishna! BOLSHÓV. Stop, you gabbler! Now you two just sit down side by side, and we'll have a look at you. Fomínishna, bring up a little bottle of fizz. PODKHALYÚZIN and LÍPOCHKA sit down. The same, USTÍNYA NAÚMOVNA, and RISPOLÓZHENSKY
"I don't like it, Fizz," he said again; "he'll be in a fearful wax." Judy gave him one exasperated look. "Go and see if that's the Bondi tram coming," she said; and glad of a moment's respite, he went down the path again to the pavement and looked down the hill. When he turned round again she had gone. He stuck his hands in his pockets and walked up and down the path a few times.
