"More drink, I have a jorum of splendid sack in you cupboard," cried their host when the flagon was empty. "Now a song, every one must give a song. "Hugh, you begin." I love to lurk in the gloom of the wood Where the lithesome stags are roaming, And to send a sly shaft just to tickle their ribs Ere I smuggle them home in the gloaming. "Just the case with this one we have been eating.
Then he set the jorum down on the end of the table farthest from the wall, to the best of his judgment out of reach from the window. "Come along, Tom," he said then. "Help me with the horse." "What's your hurry? Take a drink first." "No, let's take one together afterward." He took Tom by the shoulder and pushed him to his feet. "The horse might break away. Come on, man, hurry!"
And as he spoke he contrived to swallow a jorum of scalding tea, containing in measure somewhat near a pint. Mary, not a whit amazed at this feat, merely refilled the jorum without any observation; and the doctor went on stirring the mixture with his spoon, evidently oblivious that any ceremony had been performed by either of them since the first supply had been administered to him.
So during the last jorum, it had been put to the vote and unanimously carried that we should start for Tom's, by a retrograde movement, at four o'clock in the morning, breakfast with him, and rig up some drag or other wherein Timothy might get the two deer and the dogs, as best he might, into the city.
The General was smoking his last cigar, and was alert in an instant; and before the superintendent had finished the jorum of "hot Scotch" hospitably tendered, the orders had gone by wire to the commanding officer at Fort , some distance east of Barker's, and been duly acknowledged. Returning to the station, the superintendent remarked to the waiting secretary: "The General's all right.
Intricate and entangled was the talk, which, on the present occasion, presented a union of all the extremes which the lights and shadows of the Irish character alone could exhibit under such a calamity as that which brought the friends of the deceased together. Peter literally fulfilled his promise of taking a jorum in future.
It's long since I tuck a jorum myself an come, I say, plase God, we'll often meet ins' way, so we will. Faith, I'll take a sup from this forrid, with a blessin'. Dhrink, I say, dhrink!" By the time he had arrived at this patch, he was able to engross no great portion either of the conversation or attention.
You're worried about your wife, but I tell you she's right as a trivet. I'd trust my last chance with that little princess. I've done it often. Brandy's the stuff to keep your hair on. Have some." The bottle had only been three parts full. Tom poured out the last of it and set a stone jorum of rum in readiness on the table over against the wall. "Wish we had hot water handy," he grumbled.
"No, my dear! not five; only four only four, I assure you; I have been very particular to count. I had one while I was " "Five uncle; indeed and indeed." "Well, then, as I hate the prejudice which attaches luck to an odd number, I'll have a sixth to show that I am not superstitious." While Mary was preparing the sixth jorum, there came a knock at the door.
'Well, said I, 'the loss of your hat may give you a cold, my friend; but upon my conscience you are in no danger of wet feet with such a pair of strong brogues as you have on you. Well, he laughed at that till I thought he'd split his sides, and, in good truth, I could not help joining in the fun, although my foot was smarting like mad, and so we jogged along through the rain, enjoying the joke just as if we were sitting by a good fire, with a jorum of punch between us.
