Up came Phronsie's yellow head. "Oh, Grandpapa!" she wailed, putting out an unsteady little hand, "I didn't mean to, dear Grandpapa, only only Mamsie will be gone now." "Bless your heart, you'll have Mamsie more than ever," cried Mr. King heartily. "Here, you children, tell her. Polly, we don't want the water now, she's come to," as Polly came rushing in with a glassful.
He took a seat, rapped loudly on the table, assailed the waiter with witticisms; and when the bottle of Bass was at length produced, far more charged with gas than the most delirious champagne, he filled out a long glassful of froth and pushed it over to Jean-Marie. "Drink," he said; "drink deep." "I would rather not," faltered the boy, true to his training. "What?" thundered Desprez.
But I am sorry " The word was like one of Jeeves's pick-me-ups. Just as if a glassful of meat sauce, red pepper, and the yolk of an egg though, as I say, I am convinced that these are not the sole ingredients had been shot into me, I expanded like some lovely flower blossoming in the sunshine. It was all right, after all. My guardian angel had not been asleep at the switch.
Mademoiselle Lalage ate until the soup, a good deal of bread, the steak, the vegetables, and the pint of champagne less a glassful taken by her companion had disappeared. Marmaduke watched her meanwhile, and consumed two ices. "Have an ice to finish up with?" he said. "No. I cant work on sweets," she replied. "But I am beginning to feel alive again and comfortable.

He laughed slyly as one who is getting even with an old enemy and drank, with every evidence of delight, the second glassful of wine. Niebeldingk considered. Whether unfathomable stupidity or equally unfathomable sophistication lay at the bottom of all this the business was a wretched one.
She had placed the bottle of liqueur and the seed-cakes at his elbow on the windowsill; and as if mechanically, he poured out a glassful, and after a little time, still another, and at last, apparently unconsciously, poured her out one also, and handed it to her.
The chair squeaked on the floor as he turned, and he frowned, shivered a little, and kicked it irritably with his heel. From the cupboard he took a bottle of liqueur, and, pouring out a small glassful, drank it off eagerly. As he put the bottle away, he said again, in an abstracted fashion, "Kathleen!" Then, seating himself at the table, as if with an effort towards energy, he rang a bell.
Well, perhaps, at this time of the morning with a poker in it." This allusion to a poker we did not understand; but fortunately the waiter did, and brought a glassful of rum, which Mr. Strangways for so he had made himself known to us tipped into his tea, assuring us that the great Nelson had ever been wont to refer to this his favourite mixture as "the pride of the morning."
I got him some water from the jug on the cabin table, but when he tasted it and found that it was water only he began to swear at me for leaving out the gin; and when I added the gin thinking that he probably was so used to strong drink as really to need a little to put some life into him he took off the whole glassful at a gulp and asked for more.
She drank a large glassful, stamped her foot, gurgled 'Oo-ah!, wiped her mouth and said: 'I say! the squire is going to sell everything. The thought of his field crossed Slimak's mind and made his blood run cold, but he answered calmly: 'Gossip!
