But Black Feather, he'd come over to Dick Stocton's an' linger 'round the bar'ls of Valley Tan, an' take a chance on stealin' a snifter or two while Stocton's busy. "At last Stocton gets tired an' allows he'll lay for Black Feather.
"Janice, here, an' me hev been havin' an argyment right along about that rum sellin' business " "About the drinking, at any rate, Walky," interposed Janice, gently. "Wal ahem! ya-as. About the drinkin' of it, I s'pose. Yeou said, Janice, that my takin' a snifter now and then was an injury to other critters as well as to m'self." "And I repeat it," said the girl confidently.
Just one little snifter would fetch HIM." "'Deed it would, Joe. Say I wish the boys could see us now." "So do I." "Say boys, don't say anything about it, and some time when they're around, I'll come up to you and say, 'Joe, got a pipe?
"Jefers-pelters! I 'low if I had a boy o' m' own mebbe I'd be a lettle keerful how I used either licker, or terbaccer. But I hain't. I got only one child, an' she's a female. I reckon I ain't gotter worry about little Matildy bein' inflooenced either by her daddy's chawin', or his takin' a snifter of licker on a cold day I snum!"

He had a nervous, engaging smile, of which he made frequent use. "My word, Aladdin," he said, "you look sick as a dog. Come with me and take a snifter for it." Aladdin hesitated a moment. And as soon as he had thoroughly made up his mind that it was wrong to say so, he said: "I believe I will." The Celt in him was feeling suicidal.
"Well, so I know now; and I came near being sent after her; but all's well that ends well, so come, all hands, and have a little throat burner with me."

Man resolves and reresolves and then takes another snifter, and so here I are, and bein' as its cold, as so she sha'n't have no basis for her unfeelin' remark about guzzlin' ale, we'll let him make it hot rum, and arter the old receipt, neither economizin' in the rum or the sugar, but givin' a fair drink for honest money.
"Sit down, bo," invited Soup Face. "I guess you're a regular all right. Here, have a snifter?" and he pulled a flask from his side pocket, holding it toward The Oskaloosa Kid. "Thank you, but; er I'm on the wagon, you know," declined the youth. "Have a smoke?" suggested Columbus Blackie. "Here's the makin's." The change in the attitude of the men toward him pleased The Oskaloosa Kid immensely.
"D'ye know," jerked out Walky, with his head on one side and his eyes screwed up, "that I b'lieve Josephus agrees with ye?" "Ho! ho!" laughed Marty. "Was you fresh from Lem Parraday's bar when you backed the old feller over the dock?" "Wal, I'd had a snifter," drawled Walky, his eyes twinkling.
"I don't remember Tyse," he said at length, reaching for one of Zack's store cigars. "When was that?" "Three years before," Dale answered. "Three yeahs befoh Tusk?" "No, three years before Bill."
