Let us put together our knowledge and our brains and resources and even a poonch of a mule is a resource," he looked wickedly at O'Keefe, "and pull our boat into quiet waters again. After that " "All very well, Marakinoff," interjected Larry, "but I don't feel very safe in any boat with somebody capable of shooting me through the back." Marakinoff waved a deprecatory hand.
"Get him a chair, Harry!" said Sir Lupus. "Sit down, George; and what shall it be, my boy, cold mulled or spiced to cheer you on your journey? Or, as the Glencoe brawlers have it, 'Wha's f'r poonch?"
What in damnation kind of a place and time is this to start an argument like that? "Angiospermae, is it?" exclaimed Larry. Marakinoff again regarded him with that irritating air of benevolence. "You have not the scientific mind, young friend," he said. "The poonch, yes! But so has the mule.
He shook Montgomery heartily by the hand. "I would have been rare pleased to shake thee by the throttle, lad, a short while syne," said he. "But I bear no ill-feeling again' thee. It was a rare poonch that brought me down I have not had a better since my second fight wi' Billy Edwards in '89. Happen thou might think o' goin' further wi' this business.
Captain McDonald, stirring the punch, filled all glasses, crying out that we should drink to our sweethearts in bumpers. "Drink 'em in wine," protested Captain Campbell, thickly.

All, thot's better, mon, thot's fine!" he would add, as his opponent lifted him across the room on the end of a right counter.
