Wait I'll bring you a pick-me-up."
I saw myself ridiculed all over the Continent, and perhaps dismissed, even suspected of having taken the thing myself. "I was walking in front of a lighted cafe, and I felt so sick and miserable that I stopped for a pick-me-up. Then I considered that if I took one drink I would probably, in my present state of mind, not want to stop under twenty, and I decided I had better leave it alone.
