"I will drink with you, if you will permit me." "We'll all drink standing!" cried Fulkerson. "Help March to get up, somebody! Fill high the bowl with Samian Apollinaris for Coonrod!

The tears came into his eyes; he said, "I thank you, chendlemen," and hiccoughed.
To add to his mortification, people whom they met on the street looked at him curiously. The lockup was a basement room under the engine-house. There were four cells, about four by eight, and into one of these Walter was put. The cell opposite was occupied by a drunken tramp, who looked up stupidly as Walter entered, and hiccoughed: "Glad to see you sonny."
For a night and a day they gambled, and for a night and a day I counted the minutes which brought me nearer to my man. They might ring for fresh wine at what hour they liked, they always found me waiting and ready, so that this young captain hiccoughed out that I was the model of all valets.

As I was passing the sofa, where the two men were sitting, Augustus seized hold of my dress. "Don't look so damned haughty, little woman," he hiccoughed. "Er I'm all right give me a kiss "
"Don't speak to her, don't think of her; she's not worth it!" said Mrs. Heron. "She's not worth any sensible man's thoughts, least of all a man like you, Joseph. You are ill, you must come to bed!"
