"Smoke, eh, youngster?" he repeated in his ironical way, being the driest old stick we had in the gunroom and certainly, according to Larkyns, a judge of considerable experience of the article under discussion. "Bless you, it's the most rotgut stuff any fellow ever put in his inside, and only a Dutchman could have invented it! I can tell you it's a liquor that's best left alone.
Go on and feed the niggers, an' stir up Bud, and I'll be on hand in the mornin' when court opens." When the lesser of these precious worthies left his superior to his cups, he stopped in the barroom and bought a pint of rotgut whiskey a cheap brand of rectified spirits coloured and flavoured to resemble the real article, to which it bore about the relation of vitriol to lye.
They made good use of his ability to "spot" a bird's-eye tree as far as he could see one, however, an ability shared by few woodsmen, and which in Creed amounted almost to genius. The man had never been known to turn his hand to honest work, but as a timber pirate and peddler of rotgut whisky among the Indians, he had arisen to comparative affluence.
Shorty knew his man of old, and just the basis on which to open negotiations. "Groundhog, I've just had my canteen filled with first-class whisky none o' your commissary rotgut, but old rye, hand-made, fire-distilled. I got it to take out to the boys o' the rijimint to celebrate my comin' back. Le' me have just one drink out of it, and I'll give it to you if you'll tell."
It must be the rotgut from l'Assommoir that was hacking away inside him. Well! his entire body had been soaked in it. The doctors had gone away. At the end of an hour Gervaise, who had remained with the house surgeon, repeated in a low voice: "He's dead, sir; he's dead!" But the house surgeon, who was watching the feet, shook his head.
You'd see this bum gang kicking air at the end of a rope 'fore Ju, here, had time to dope out four fingers of rotgut at the expense of the house." He leered across at the unsmiling face of the saloon-keeper. Ju permitted himself to be drawn. "Nothin' doin', Curly." A solemn shake of the head set his walrus moustache flapping.
