"I'm afraid I lost touch with the audience rather over that remark," said the Sheep afterwards, with his apologetic smile abnormally developed. "You lost us the election," said the chairman, and he proved a true prophet. A month or so of winter sport seemed a desirable pick-me-up after the strenuous work and crowning discomfiture of the election.
"Good-morning," said he, quietly, but looking at me with evident curiosity. "Doctor, you were quite right," said I. "There is something wrong about that place." "I thought you would change your mind," he answered, rather triumphantly. "You have had a bad night, eh? Shall I make you a pick-me-up? I have a capital recipe." "No, thanks," I cried. "But I would like to tell you what happened."
Adonis calls for a "pick-me-up" before he has strength enough to answer a /billet-doux/ from Venus. Adonis has not the strength to get nobly drunk, but his delicate constitution requires stimulants, and he is always tippling.
"You wrote that yesterday afternoon?" Mr. Mousley exclaimed. "And the instant afterwards I went out and got drunk?" "You mean you took a pick-me-up and two glasses of beer," corrected Father Rowley. "No, no, no, it wasn't a pick-me-up. I went out and got drunk on brandy quite deliberately." Father Rowley looked quickly across at Mark, who hastily left the two priests together.
Hunter-Weston says that he would sooner have a pick-me-up in that form than two fresh Battalions, and I think, in saying so, he says too little. Tired or not tired, we attack again to-morrow. We must make more much more elbow room before the Turks get help from Asia or Constantinople. Are we to strike before or after daylight? Hunter-Weston is clear for day and we have made it so.
Aren't they splendid, in spite of all the knocking about and wear? But what's the matter? Not well?" "No, sir; I am not well." "Poor old chap! There's plenty of time; toddle up to the bungalow. Old Morley will give you a pick-me-up, and set you right in no time." "I have been there, sir." "Oh, that's right," said the Major, with a chuckle.
In the street which led down to the quay he observed a chemist's shop, and, entering it, asked for a "draught or pick-me-up" of some kind. "I feel awfully seedy," he said, sinking into a chair. "Yes, you look it," said the chemist; "what's wrong?" "I think I must give in," said Cardo, "for I believe I am sickening for typhoid fever." The chemist looked grave.
Had it been a cold lecture, now, or a speech on politics and no man loves that kind of exercise more than I the armchair and the warm fireside had not reached to me and beamed on me in vain. But the stage? That was another matter altogether. It is a better stimulant than the society of old friends. It is a finer anodyne than tobacco. It is a quicker and more constant pick-me-up than champagne.
He waved a gay farewell, threw his arm round the waist of the hot cross-bun, and waltzed out of the Colonel's vision. It was not till two hours later that Heriot Walkingshaw, smiling with reminiscent pleasure and perspiring freely, set out on foot for his hotel. A brisk walk in the early morning air was the only pick-me-up he needed. During their descent upon the Metropolis of England, Mr.
The fact is I had a little headache and went to the chemist for a pick-me-up, on top of which I met an old college friend, and though I don't think I had more than two glasses of beer I may have had three. They didn't seem to go very well with the pick-me-up. I assure you " "Stop," said Father Rowley. "The only assurance of any value to me will be your behaviour in the future."
