It seemed an excellent idea. The air within was blue with tobacco smoke, flushed henchwomen staggered to and fro with arms spread wide across trays of whiskies and sodas, opening doors revealed rooms full of men, mutton chops and mastication. There was wildness in the eye of the attendant as she took the order for yet another luncheon.
The drug store on the opposite corner showed a bright interior, where two small boys devoured ice cream sodas with solemn rapture. Somewhere up a side street a choir was practising a hymn, making a noise infinitely doleful. He had a bear-skin to wrap her in, and he arranged this on the seat beside him and then tried to wait patiently.
I've never had much of anything like that myself, you see, so I don't really know." "Well, I won't take them, anyhow. Oh, Bessie, but I'm hungry! I'd give all the ice-cream sodas I ever ate for a big piece of beefsteak right now! Aren't you hungry, too? I should think you'd be starved." "I am pretty hungry, but I was so excited I'd forgotten about it, I guess. Why did you remind me?"
The party made merry in the town, going into the "Emporium," for ice-cream sodas; and even the presence of Maurice Whitlow at the other end of the counter, where he was imbibing something through a straw, could not daunt Alice's high spirits. Whitlow smiled and smirked in the direction of his acquaintances, but he received no invitation to join them.
"I thought you were going without soda and candy for a month to get an honor bead, Dolly." "Oh, bother! I was, but it was too hard. I got a soda when I'd gone without for two weeks, and I never thought of the old honor bead until I'd begun to drink it. So that discouraged me, and I gave it up." "But don't you feel much better when you don't eat candy and drink sodas between meals?"
"The fellow was given an opportunity of making a clean breast of it, of course Wensley, his lawyer, advised him to, in fact but the story he told me was precisely the story he told at the inquest." They were established now in their easy-chairs, and Wilmore summoned a waiter. "Two large whiskies and sodas," he ordered.
"We were going down to Haas's for ice-cream sodas," Julia submitted hesitatingly. "Well, I will take you there," Mark said. And as the others, nodding good-naturedly at this, drifted on ahead, Julia found herself walking down O'Farrell Street on the arm of a tall and handsome man.
"Shall we go through into the bar?" he asked. "There's very seldom any one there at this time." "Anywhere you say," Bellamy answered. "It's years since we had a drink together." They passed into the inner room and, finding it empty, drew two chairs into the further corner. Bellamy summoned the waiter. "Two whiskies and sodas quick, Tim," he ordered.
A fine game for him to play, a game after his mean old heart: blackmail from me, bribes from the police, the one bidding against the other; but he sha'n't play it with me, he sha'n't live to, and the world will have an extortioner the less. Waiter! Two Scotch whiskeys and sodas. I'm off at eleven, Bunny; it's the only thing to be done." "You know where he lives, then?"
At eleven A. M. all assemble at a special resort for the morning "eye-openers," between twelve and two, business stops in order to give the thirsty inhabitants time for tiffin accompanied by a half dozen whiskeys and sodas or "gin-rickeys"; after four all business ceases for tea, and, if the tea cup appears it is usually accompanied by a substantial stick in it, to rouse drooping spirits.
