For an instant we thought of giving it to him, but then we reflected that a man whose days are spent surrounded by rich cigars and smokables is dangerously felicitous already, and a sudden joy might blast his blood vessels. The shining of the street lamps was reflected on the polished skin of our fruit as we went our way. As we held it in our arms it glowed like a huge ruby.
"Old John" at Solari's took their order a porter-house steak with mushrooms, peas, cold asparagus, a pint of extra dry in honor of the day, Jack insisted, although Sam protested to the verge of discourtesy together with the usual assortment of small drinkables and long smokables a Reina Victoria each.
In the center of the rich red carpet was a black and gold Louis Quinze table, a lovely antique, now sacrilegiously desecrated with marks of glasses and the scars of cigar-stumps. On it stood a silver tray of smokables and a burnished spirit-stand, from which and an adjacent siphon my silent host proceeded to charge two high glasses.
Your arms are never cold anyway, and the pockets of such a waistcoat, made many and deep, are handy receptacles for smokables, matches, cartridges, and the like.

Well as I said before, it was a bright October evening, with the clear sky, rich sunshine, and brisk breezy freshness, which indicate that loveliest of the American months, dinner was over, and with a pitcher of the liquid ruby of Latour, a brace of half-pint beakers, and a score my contribution of those most exquisite of smokables, the true old Manila cheroots, we were consoling the inward man in a way that would have opened the eyes, with abhorrent admiration, of any advocate of that coldest of comforts cold water who should have got a chance peep at our snuggery.
Last Saturday night I sat down at eleven o'clock to blue-point oysters, consomme, stewed terrapin yours was very good, Makely; I wish I had taken more of it lamb chops with peas, redhead duck with celery mayonnaise, Nesselrode pudding, fruit, cheese, and coffee, with sausages, caviare, radishes, celery, and olives interspersed wildly, and drinkables and smokables ad libitum; and I can assure you that I felt very devout when I woke up after church-time in the morning.
