"I don't mind standing treat for a civil fellow like you," he said; "come, mates, what do you say to a bowl of punch?" The men looked at him and grinned a ready assent. Valentine Jernam called the landlord, and ordered a bowl of rum-punch. "Plenty of it, remember, and be sure you are not too liberal with the water," said the captain. The landlord nodded and laughed.
The aunt, house-keeper, had invited the nephew, butler, to take a dish of tea with her, and rum-punch had now succeeded the souchong.

Milsom established himself at Raynham, than he made it his business to find out the exact state of affairs at the castle. He contrived to entice one of the under-servants into his bar-parlour, and entertained the man so liberally, with a smoking jorum of strong rum-punch, that a friendly acquaintance was established between the two on the spot.

When I like a man there's nothing I couldn't do to prove my liking; when I hate him " Here Mr. Milsom's speech died away into an ominous growl; and James Harwood, who was rather a timid young man, felt as if drops of cold water had been running down his back. But the rum-punch was very nice; and he saw no reason why he should refuse Mr. Milsom's offer of friendship.
Did n't I tell ye, Larry, not to be afther ringin' at the owld gintleman's knocker? Ain't ye got no sinse at all?" "Misther Donnehugh," responded Mr. O'Rourke with great dignity, "ye 're dhrunk agin." Mr. Donnehugh, who had not taken more than thirteen ladles of rum-punch, disdained to reply directly.
