"Mucho, mucho," quoth Bang; "capital, real Havannah." So now, since we had all gotten fairly into the clouds, there was no saying how long we should have remained in the seventh heaven much would have depended upon the continuance of the supply of brandy but two female slaves presently made their appearance, each carrying a quatre.
The brother handed Enoch a tin cup as he spoke. "Then you go to sleep. You mucho tired." Their hospitality touched Enoch. "You're very kind," he repeated gratefully, and he drank the vile coffee without blinking. Then, conscious that he was trembling with weariness, he rolled himself in his blankets.
