Yes, where we drink out of jam-pots dead cushions, dead balls no veranda fellow that soils the inside of his cuffs first! We're a pack of beach-combers."
In the cupboard with the jam-pots, there were two or three boxes of cigars, the famous sloe gin, and other liqueurs, for the entertainment of such highly esteemed visitors; and so long as one of them occupied the colossal armchair, her husband was quite a different Dale.
