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.
She will have no dinner, she is drinking brandy by the glassful, a moment ago she was looking out to sea with a lorgnette, and now she is crying dreadfully with an open letter in her lap. The cook looked up from her potato-peeling with a significant wink. 'What can it be, said she, 'but that monsieur returns?
There was a moment's intense silence. Duncan was doing his best to look unconcerned, but the hand which played with his wineglass shook. "How was he murdered?" "Strangled with a fine cord," Wrayson answered. "In the cab?" "There or inside the building! It is impossible to say." "And no one was ever tried for the murder?" "No one," Wrayson answered. Duncan swallowed a glassful of wine.
"I did not know I had such a big nephew!" said my aunt, holding out her hand to me and smiling. "And I did not know I had such a pretty aunt," I answered. Supper began over again. The cork flew with a bang out of the second bottle, and my aunt swallowed half a glassful at a gulp, and when my wife went out of the room for a moment my aunt did not scruple to drain a full glass.
While taking mine, they vaguely stared about till Murphy brought in the roast mutton, except Adelaide, who rubbed her teeth with a dry crust, making a feint of eating it. Desmond kept the decanter, occasionally swallowing a glassful. "What wine is that, Murphy?" Mrs. Somers asked. He hesitatingly answered, "I think it is the Juno, mum." "You stole the key from pa's room, Des," said the girl.
One family looked after the cattle and supplied the house with milk, bringing me also a large glassful every morning, one of my greatest luxuries. Others had charge of the horses, which were brought in every afternoon and fed with cut grass.
The two men stole away. The Irishman poured out a glassful of neat whisky and passed it to his visitor. "Clients of mine," he explained. "Tim Crooks is in politics. Got your message, boss. What's the figure?" "Two thousand!" The Irishman whistled and looked thoughtfully down at the table. "Isn't it enough?" Fischer asked. "Enough?" was the hoarse reply.
Tell me what you're doing," he went on, greedily munching a piece of bread, and pouring out another glassful. "How are you living?" "I live alone in the country, as I used to. I'm busy looking after the land," answered Konstantin, watching with horror the greediness with which his brother ate and drank, and trying to conceal that he noticed it. "Why don't you get married?"
Your adversary can dip up a glassful and show you that it is pure white and you cannot deny it; and he can dip the lake dry, glass by glass, and show that every glassful is white, and prove it to any one's eye and yet that lake was blue and you can swear it. This book is blue with slander in solution.
