I sickened as I quaffed, and was never myself again, as you know. Do you understand me, you cruel, crafty ones?" Did they not! Heads quaking, throats gasping, teeth chattering no longer sitting all risen, all looking with wild eyes for the door was it not apparent that they understood, and only waited for one more word to break away and flee the accursed house? But that word lingered.
'Now, said the French, as they quaffed the red wine and rattled the dice-box, 'we have only to await the coming of our companions from the coast of Syria, and of the Count of Poictiers, with the arrière ban of France, to undertake the conquest of Egypt.

It required but a moment to discover this and he lay down upon the margin, quaffed his full and flung himself upon the grass to sleep until morning.

"Blessings on the honest old fellow who set aside this good liquor for you and me! And here's to Peter Goldthwaite's memory!" "And good cause have we to remember him," quoth Tabitha as she drank. How many years, and through what changes of fortune and various calamity, had that bottle hoarded up its effervescent joy, to be quaffed at last by two such boon-companions!
And when one had quaffed of the magical bowl, he found it still full; and he gave it to the other to drink, and still it was full; and the One-Two gave it to the people, and one after another did they all drink, and still the cup was full to the brim. But Shinau'av was dead, and all the people mourned, for he was a great man.
Tickler, who had been no way dainty about the number of glasses he quietly quaffed, touched his master significantly on the elbow. "Your excellency has need to look well to his manners," said he, "for those priests have their eyes polished, and are whispering no good."
