Shall I say 'no trumps?" "Mustn't consult your partner, Mapp," said Irene, puffing the end of her cigarette out of its holder. Irene was painfully literal. "I don't, darling," said Miss Mapp, beginning to fizz a little. "No trumps. Not a trump. Not any sort of trump. There! What are we playing for, by the way?" "Bob a hundred," said the Padre, forgetting to be either Scotch or archaic.
He shocked her a bit in his cheap cotton trunks woman's very old shock to the knobby knees and hairy arms of the beach. But they immediately ran, hand in hand, down the sand and fizz! into the grin of a breaker. Marylin with her face wet and a fringe of hair, like a streak of seaweed, down her cheek!
The result has been a state of perpetual fizz I know no better word to describe it; and now, after our recent experience, I find myself willing to sit humbly at the feet of higher authority and learn of a better and more efficacious healing art than I know of at present.
I cut off about six inches of it and touched one end to the lantern flame. There was a little fizz of fire and I stood holding it in my hand and wondering what it was doing inside, when suddenly there was a bigger fizz at the other end and a streak of fire shot down inside my sleeve to my elbow. I concluded that I had found some fuse. In five minutes I had the powder and fuse in the bank.
I MUST have my comforts. Love in a cottage is all very well in its way; but who's to pay for the fizz, Reggie? That's her refinement, don't you see? Sissie's awfully refined. She was brought up with the tastes and habits of a lady." "Clearly so," I answered. "Both her literary style and her liking for champagne abundantly demonstrate it!"

"Exactly, dear boy, an absolute necessity. After a touch of sun there's nothing picks you up better than a mouthful of fizz. It's used as a medicine, not a drink, you understand."
There they went off with a slight fizz and splutter, a momentary glittering of small points in the darkness, and a strong smell of gunpowder. Polly gazed at the spectacle with undisguised awe and fascination. Hickory and Patsey breathed hard with satisfaction: it was beyond their wildest dreams of mystery and romance.
In the cabin at one corner of the table, immediately below the lamp, and on the lee side of a bottle of champagne, sat Huish. 'What's this? Where did that come from? asked the captain. 'It's fizz, and it came from the after-'old, if you want to know, said Huish, and drained his mug.

If they'd only given some sign, made some noise or some gesture, or looked at him, he might have spared them. But the stiff, averted faces of Frances and Anthony annoyed him. "And if you're a poor wretched Tommy like me, you'll have to sweat in a brutal sun, hauling up cases of fizz from the railway up country to Headquarters, with a thirst on you that frizzles your throat.
