When he did leave, it was past eleven o'clock. Though more than half-intoxicated on going from the grog-shop, the cool night air, and the thought of Sally, sobered him considerably before he got home. Arrived there, he paused with his hand on the door for some time, reluctant to enter.
To Foma it seemed that he resembled a swab with which the steamer decks are washed, and this amused the half-intoxicated fellow. "How fine!" said he, sarcastically. "What are you snarling at, eh? Do you know who I am?"
Then they lay down to sleep either on the mats on the floor or on the bundles of clothing which were stacked on the floor along the walls of the room. Hung Wapu now accompanied one of his Chinese guests up the cellar-steps to the street, and sitting down on the top step began to chat in a low voice with his apparently half-intoxicated countryman.
And more deeply conscious was he, that, but for the half-intoxicated condition in which he was when he consented to go to a gaming-house, he never would have abandoned himself to gaming and drinking as he did for two long years of excited hopes, and dark, gloomy despondency. Two years, that broke down his spirits, and exhausted the energies of his physical system.
They were a white man, in whom I recognized the stout and half-intoxicated individual who had accused me of cheating the company and then departed, and a withered old Hottentot who at that distance, nearly a hundred yards away, much reminded me of a certain Hans.
I obtained one for myself at length, and had no sooner occupied it than two half-intoxicated and garrulous men took the adjoining stools. It was near nine o'clock before the tables were cleared away, and immediately afterwards the waiters began to rig a framework for sleeping-cots in their place.
The half-intoxicated leer changed to an expression of something like interest, and a feeling similar to that we have described, appeared for a moment, and only a moment, to extend itself even to her bosom. Who shall say how soon these women may change places? The last has but two more stages—the hospital and the grave.
Her look was naked and spoke of passion. That was neat, how I suddenly seized her and threw her into the grass with me and half-intoxicated whispered to her: "You, my" and how she lay there weary and sobbed: "Olaf"-Afterwards I performed my school work badly. I probably won't be promoted. Kuno Kohn For six months I have been living in the house. None of the inhabitants has noticed anything.
The butler, who had the reputation of being an honest man, and indeed whose integrity had hitherto been proof against everything but his mistress' port, turned pale, and trembled at this proposal; drank two or three bumpers to drown thought; and promised to give an answer the next day. He went home more than half-intoxicated.
The "Pelican" followed in hot pursuit, and was allowed to come alongside, although the fleet American could easily have left her far astern. But Capt. Allen was ready for the conflict; confident of his ship and of his crew, of whose half-intoxicated condition he knew nothing, he felt sure that the coming battle would only add more laurels to the many already won by the "Argus."
