The practice of divination by Bible and key, the regarding of valentines as things of serious import, the shearing-supper, and the harvest-home, have, too, nearly disappeared in the wake of the old houses; and with them have gone, it is said, much of that love of fuddling to which the village at one time was notoriously prone.
After laughing heartily at the comical figure cut by his two friends capering like crazy students at the Closerie des Lilas, he went on moralizing on the incident: "For my part, I'm not a bit sorry for having partaken of this fuddling gas. It gives me an idea, dear boys.
Mountstuart's look; he slouched away in very close resemblance to the ejected Adam of illustrated books. "It's my belief that naturalness among the common people has died out of the kingdom," she said. Willoughby charitably apologized for him. "He has been fuddling himself."
I can let you in, and nobody will see you at all; and by to-morrow morning you'll be all right." "Anything anywhere," replied Jude. "What the devil does it matter to me?" They went along together, like any other fuddling couple, her arm still round his waist, and his, at last, round hers; though with no amatory intent; but merely because he was weary, unstable, and in need of support.
But even the whisky seemed powerless to neutralize their terror, rather increasing the panic by fuddling their faculties. "Boys!" said Bob Short, trembling, and sitting down on a stump, "this this ere thing is a gittin' serious. Ef well, ef it was to happen you know you don't s'pose ahem you don't think God A'mighty would be too heavy on a feller. Do ye?
I have not, like you, a head of marble, and a body of iron; but as for fuddling myself with gunpowder, instead of anything else, that'll do for me; I'm only fit for that work now and then, it will drive away thought." "Oh what kind?" "You know that when I do think, I think only of one thing," said Jacques, gloomily. "The Bacchanal queen? still?" said Morok, in a disdainful tone.
But that sentry was fuddling himself with a vile spirit distilled from the gentian flower in the kitchen of "The White Chamois." Wogan, creeping stealthily through the snow-storm, found the side of the house unguarded. The windows on the ground floor were dark; those on the first floor which lighted her Highness's apartments were ablaze.
So home, and to dinner, and so to my office, where we sat anon, and among other things had Cooper's business tried against Captain Holmes, but I find Cooper a fuddling, troublesome fellow, though a good artist, and so am contented to have him turned out of his place, nor did I see reason to say one word against it, though I know what they did against him was with great envy and pride.
His intoxication displayed as much discrimination as his pathetic performances. Who can forget his stare in being detected in his fuddling as Dozey, and his plea for drinking to "wa-ash down your honour's health:" or his anti-polarity as Nipperkin, when his very legs seemed drunk beneath him; his attempt to set down the keg would stagger the disbelievers of perpetual motion.
There was ne'er a lad in all the parish That would go to the plough that day; But on his fore-horse his wench he carries, And away to Tewin, away, away! The butler was quick, and the ale he did tap, The maidens did make the chamber full gay; The servants did give me a fuddling cup, And I did carry 't away, away.
