I ain't done no harm to him! He's 'ad the best I could offer; and five shillin's don't go far when there's sickness, she ended, with a whimper, for she was maudlin with drink. 'Take us to that boy at once! commanded Philip Price; for the captain's agitation unmanned him for the moment. The wretched woman, awed by Philip's tone, complied.
They were very dirty; their hair had fallen over their eyes, which were bloodshot; the expression of their faces was imbecile. As the phaeton passed, they hailed its occupants in thick voices, shouting against the wind maudlin invitations to drink. The crowd gathered at the pier comprised fully half the population of Monrovia. It centred about the life saving crew, whose mortar was being loaded.
She had been drinking brown sherry as well as tea, and was in a condition of renewed tears approaching to maudlin, when the announcement reached her. It steadied the woman. Then the thought that this wealth would have been her son's made her weep again, until the fact that it was now her own became grasped in her mind.
As I stand here to-day I tell you that 9,000 are doomed to death with all the cruelty of the criminal heart, and with no regard for home and families; and two-thirds will be due to the maudlin sentiment sometimes called mercy. "I have no sympathy for the criminal. My sympathy is for those who will be murdered; for their families and for their children.
Paul was put to bed, and had extra blankets heaped upon him, and a fire was lit in the grate. He was dosed with hot rum-and-water and the cayenne pills, and was then left, first to grow maudlin, and next to fall into a sleep which was full of monstrous dreams.

"Ole chap," returned Clifford, becoming maudlin, "Providence which feeds feeds er sparrows an' that sort of thing watcheth over the intemperate wanderer " "Where is Elliott?" But Clifford only wagged his head and waved his arm about. "He's out there, somewhere about." Then suddenly feeling a desire to see his missing chum, lifted up his voice and howled for him.
"You are generalizing?" she asked tentatively. "I am sentimentalizing," he answered abruptly, suddenly coming to himself. He was more personal than he had any right to be. It did no good to become maudlin over what was irrevocably decided. The Present. He must cling to that one idea.
Jordan Morse mentally congratulated himself that he had struck the right nail on the head the very first whack. To gain possession of Jinnie's money meant finding his boy, and that was the dearest wish of his heart. "You might tell me about it," he reiterated slowly. "I ought to be able to help you." "Naw, you can't!" scoffed Maudlin.
Red patches appeared on Gervaise's cheeks; her delicate doll-like face assumed a look of maudlin beatitude. Nothing could be more heart-rending than to see this wretched, pale child, aglow with drink and wearing the idiotic smile of a confirmed sot about her moist lips. Fine, huddled up on her chair, became heavy and drowsy.
