"Well, Sally, I don't presume to split hairs over dates. But, you see, you've become extremely more desirable in the light of certain revelations. Diane, wasn't Sally the deceitful thing? An heiress all the time! And I'm to be a planter and smoke fine cigars and drink mint juleps! No, there won't be any juleps." "Russ, you're talking nonsense," reproved Sally. "Surely it's no time to be funny."
He will see the sallow old men drinking juleps, grave and bleared But no more their household servants at the court-house auctioneered; And the county clerk will prove it by the records on his shelves, That the fathers of the province were no better than ourselves.

He told Dolph never to despair, but to "throw physic to the dogs;" for a young fellow of his prodigious talents could never fail to make his way.

A small bar, unpretentious but convenient, occupied a portion of one end of the room, and a brisk manipulator of juleps presided over this popular corner.
