JEREMY TAYLOR On the Deceitfulness of the Heart. The two brothers sat at their wine after dinner. Robert sipped claret, the sturdy Philip quaffed his more generous port.
The spirit of wine freely quaffed will master either bodily pain or mental suffering for a time. There is no form of the one or phase of the other so difficult to subdue as the pang of jealousy. Wine must be deeply quaffed before that corroding poison can be washed free from the heart. But there is a partial relief in the wine-cup, and I sought it.

The old man still lived his weary eyes opened gladly on her, when she aroused him to partake of the treasured gifts from the senator's banqueting table. The wretched food which the suicide-guests had disdained, and the simple flask of wine which they would have carelessly quaffed at one draught, were viewed both by parent and child as the saving and invigorating sustenance of many days.
Mackay and I ascertained readily that no other glass had been shattered, while Kennedy searched the floor for possible signs that the stem was part of a glass broken where we had found it. Unquestionably we had a sample of the actual wine quaffed by the unfortunate Werner. Elated we strolled to a corner so as to give the police full charge.
It was a heady draught he quaffed before she looked down and answered his laconic remark. "Yes," she said, "that was it. And Mrs. Matilda and Phoebe motored out with him and David went on his horse. I am making calls, only I didn't.
His cup of sorrow had been full. He had quaffed with what patience possible its bitter draughts, and still were they poured in afresh. "I wrote you particulars of her death a year ago: I learned at Flat-Rock that you never have received the mournful tidings. I learned also" but his voice trembled, and he could not go on. "Of the sudden death of my wife. Good God! it may as well be spoken.
"Thank you," said I, "but I prefer plain lemonade." "The gent wants his pizen straight, same as the rest of you," calmly remarked the bartender.
