Once she remarked: "I don't see the good of getting nutty over a highball." Seeing that Janet was not to be led into controversy, she grew morose. Breakfast in Fillmore Street, never a lively meal, was more dismal than usual that morning, eaten to the accompaniment of slopping water from the roofs on the pavement of the passage.
Just because I went to Gruber's with Neva Lorrie and a couple of gentlemen they were gentlemen all right, as much gentlemen as Ditmar you come at me and tell me I'm all to the bad." She began to sob. "I'm as straight as you are. How was I to know the highball was stiff?
Petticoat yawned, took a stroll round the room, tried on a new dressing gown, mixed himself a highball, smoked three cigarettes, glanced through "What the Swell-dressed Man can Spare," wound his watch, put out his Angora cat, yawned again, sneezed twice, stomped out in the hall and back, and then went and stood in front of the fireplace, teetering on his heels.
At the second highball, boredom, disgust, the monotony of time, the turbidity of events, sank into a vague background before which glittering cobwebs formed.

"It couldn't have been." "You've been drinking!" said Janet, slowly. Lise giggled. "What's it to you, angel face!" she inquired. "Quiet down, now, and go bye-bye." Janet sprang from the bed, seized her by the shoulders, and shook her. She was limp. She began to whimper. "Cut it out leave me go. It ain't nothing to you what I do I just had a highball." Janet released her and drew back.
Lance looked up from examination of his knuckle, caressed his cut lip with the tip of his tongue, pulled the fragment of shirt down as far as possible, gently rubbed his swelling cheek, and turned to the bartender. "I never licked a man yet and sent him home thirsty," he said. "Set it out for the boys and give me another highball. Then if you'll lend me a coat and a pair of gloves, I'll go home."
And I'm so rotten big that none of my friends can loan me a suit. And my credit is gone with at least twelve different tailors. I'm sort o' taboo as a borrower.

"If you don't mind night work."
I've got fifty-three for chief of police, twenty-one fire captains, and eleven postmas " "Excuse me, but are you trying to infer that I am telling an untruth?" "Oh, forget it! Can't you stand a little jolly without going up in the air?" "Well, I'll accept your apology, but I don't like to have people casting slurs on my pa and ma, and beer wont appease my wrath when I feel like a highball.
He could count on his fingers the cigarettes she had smoked in a dozen years, and then, only under a hostess's provocation to give countenance to some smoking woman guest.
