Pike was waiting in the avenue of potted palms when the greatest scholar of southeastern Europe, now reduced to the humble role of messenger boy, came to him, somewhat flurried and breathless, and slipped a small envelope into his hand. Popova rather curtly refused to renew his acquaintance with occidental fizzes, and waited only until he had announced to Mr.
I gambled with the Pink 'uns and swore as fashionably as I knew how! I scorched my tongue with cigarettes; I sat in Bunny Gray's room with the door bolted and let him teach me how to make silver fizzes and Chinese juleps out of Rose wine and saki! I let Jack Dysart retain my hand and try to kiss me several times " "Geraldine!" "I did. I wanted to be horrid."
You didn't give me such lemonade as this, when I was ill Oh! that reminds me." "Reminds you of something that happened at Wurzburg?" Madame Fontaine inquired. "Yes. Wait a bit. I'm going to try how the cake tastes dipped in lemonade. Ha! ha! how it fizzes as I stir it round! Yes; something that happened at Wurzburg, as you say. I asked David about it, the morning he went away.
Popova sipped conservatively. "Don't be afraid," urged Mr. Pike, encouragingly. "If the boy watched me carefully, possibly he can duplicate the order." The youth was more than willing, for he seldom received instruction.

"Won't Miss Carew drink first?" I asked. "I don't want any," she said in a low voice. Before I could speak another word the captain had poured his heaped spoonful of powder into my glass. "Stir it up, boy," he cried. "Down with it while it fizzes." Aurelia rose to her feet, catching her breath sharply.
Pike, as he checked down the line with a rigid forefinger. "If you don't care what happens to you, we might try a couple of cocktails that is, if you like the taste of eau de quinine. Oh, I'll tell you what! Here are lemons, seltzer and gin. Boy, two gin fizzes." The attendant, who was very juvenile and much afraid of his job, smiled and shook his head.
And the over-conscientious finder takes the fifty with marked reluctance, and throws the gentleman the book, as desired, while the steamboat fumes and fizzes on her way. In about half an hour after her departure, the "large amount" is seen to be a "counterfeit presentment," and the whole thing a capital diddle. A bold diddle is this.
Then he scratched a match, bent, and ran it back and forth over the floor, and at one place there was a flash, and the flame went around in funny little fizzes as it caught a grain of powder here and there. "You see the measure was overrun." "Wouldn't the man naturally think the gun was loaded, and take it as it stood?" "That would be a reasonable conclusion," said father. "But he looked!"
It puts out a light in a moment; it kills any animal that breathes it, and it is really poisonous to breathe, because it destroys life even when mixed with a pretty large quantity of common air. The bubbles made by beer when it ferments, are carbonic acid, so is the air that fizzes out of soda-water, and it is good to swallow though it is deadly to breathe.
Graham had sat in, and felt well repaid when, at dawn, the players received an unexpected visit from Paula herself past one of her white nights, she said, although no sign of it showed on her fresh skin and color.
