An' my man he's most ways no 'count an' triflin', Lord, 'cepten when he likers up, an' then, you know how he uses me an' Dick. But Dick, he aint no ways ter blame fer what his dad an' mammy is, an' I ax ye fair, o Lord, take ker o' him fer Jesus' sake Amen." "Dick! O Dick, whar are ye honey?"
In a second line, farther from the shore, and speculating on the appetite that salt air awakens in dyspeptics, came the more pretentious and the more permanent structures of the restaurants and eating-places, with stairways and verandas, façades of ornate but inexpensive stucco, masking the frailty of such pomp under ostentatious names: The Paris Hotel and Restaurant, The Miramar, The Fonda del Buen Gusto; and between these pedants of summer-time gastronomy, the lunch-rooms of the natives, huts with roofs of matting, rickety tables with wine jugs in the center, and outdoor kitchens, dispensing shell-fish with vinegar dressing from Saint John's day till mid-September, under signs of delightfully capricious spelling: Salvaor and Neleta, wines, bears and likers.

Hence it is that the greatest geniuses, as presenting a wider field for excitement, are generally found to be the widest likers; not so much from affinity, or because they possess the precise kinds of excellence which they admire, but often from the differences which these very excellences in others, as the exciting cause, awaken in themselves.
And when a person begins to reckon up everything else among the edibles flesh, fowl, fish, berries, fruits, vegetables and the rest he finds quite a sizable list. I shall not pretend that I do not pine often for sundry tabooed things. Take pies, now if there is any person alive who likes his pie better than I do he's the king of the pie likers, that's all.
