Fanny, here, would have been equally fascinated and shocked; but, essentially, she'd be hurt; and, at the same time, rebellious with the innate resentment of the pure, the contained, for the free. She would never have agreed to the champagne, either; they would have ordered lemonades or claret cup; and, by midnight, gone back to the hotel. It was now past two o'clock.
He made one or two violent efforts to spur her flagging spirits and then, becoming touched by the contagion of her reserve, lapsed himself into silence. They sat and sipped their lemonades, thoughtfully inspecting their straws, dolefully ruminative. Their little table was like a blot on a snow-white expanse of joy.
For that which she charged one dollar and forty cents she pays in checks forty cents, thus making a clear one dollar five cents each for two beers, ten cents each for lemonades, and five cents each for the colored water. The customer pays ten cents for each glass of beer, twenty cents each for lemonade and forty cents each for brandy.
She's about due. Go on up and grab a box for yourselves. The house owes you fellers a drink, it seems to me. Can I send you up a bottle of Pumbry? The fizzy stuff's none too good for you, I guess." He appeared disappointed when Dick told him to send up two lemonades, and turned back to lean across the bar and hail some new arrival.
Then he sauntered along toward Soda Sam's, where he found the usual three or four cars of a summer evening parked in front and the little darkies running back and forth with sundaes and lemonades. "Hello, Jim." It was a voice at his elbow Joe Ewing sitting in an automobile with Marylyn Wade. Nancy Lamar and a strange man were in the back seat. The Jelly-bean tipped his hat quickly.
Also there was a bar in the lobby. Amby shoved up to that prompt and came back with two pink lemonades, at 75 cents a throw. "Well," says I, "ain't there mint on top and a cherry in the bottom?" "And weak lemonade in between," grumbles Ambrose. "What do they take me for, a gold fish?" "We'll try a cabaret next," says I. We did.
Of course not, Joe. You know better than that." "Two lemonades," he said to the waiter regretfully. Somehow it seemed like a waste of atmosphere, a waste of fuel, pulling a rowboat with a turbine to be drinking lemonade in a place like this. Many bitter similes occurred to him, but he banished them.
To be seen in a dress that has ever been worn before, is considered the height of vulgarity. The table is set in magnificent style. Elegant china and glassware, and splendid plate, adorn it. It is loaded down with dainties of every description. Wines, lemonades, coffee, brandy, whiskey and punch, are in abundance.
There the people who drove out in carriages were in the habit of alighting and taking the cool air of the lake, and sipping lemonades, wines, and ices before they turned homeward again along the crowded way that they had come. In after years the place fell into utter neglect.
She swore it was only a sort of joke anyway, and that the day we we did it, she'd been filling me up with whisky lemonades and all that, and that the whole thing was off. And let me tell you that I was glad to beat it! I never saw her again until this morning! I went on the stage, and changed my name because the leading lady in that show happened to be Thelma Tenney.
