"Poissarde! of one of the best born, best bred women in England!" cried Lady Cecilia; "bien coiffee, I allow." "Lady Cecilia is si coiffee de sa belle amie, that I see I must not say a word against her, till the fashion changes. But, hark! I hear a voice I never wish to hear."

The teetotal apostle says, it is a dreadful thing to be drunk. So it is, teetotaller; but if so, why do you get drunk? I get drunk? Yes, unhappy man, why do you get drunk on smoke and passion?
