There sat Amy with Peggy Porter and Norma, all of them dreamily imbibing ice cream sodas, just as though Shakespearian rehearsals were occasions unknown in their engagement calendars. Kit rose and crossed the room with caution until she stood behind Amy and intoned sepulchrally from Macbeth: "What ho! Ye secret, black and midnight hags, what is't ye do?"
Mr. Pemberton is the Napoleon of patent medicine, and also the Napoleon of drugs used by physicians to cure the effects of patent medicine. He is the Shakespeare of ice-cream sodas, and the Edison of hot-water bags. He rules more than five thousand employees, and his name is glorious on cartons in drug-stores, from Sandy Hook to San Diego, and chemists' shops from Hong-Kong to the Scilly Isles.
"Have five whiskeys and sodas," she said, examining her father judicially. He did not deny the charge; Julia's observation was not to be avoided. "And what is five?" he demanded with dignity. "Three too many for you," she answered. "Do you mean to insinuate that I am intoxicated?" he asked. "Johnny," he turned pathetically to his friend, "my own daughter insinuates that I am intoxicated."
She'll get a jolly good fright, of course, but when she discovers that he's dead and that she's been panicky about nothing, she'll get over her silly fear of the beggars. What say, old chap? "To this insane suggestion, in spite of the protests of the other officer, the husband assented. Probably he had been having too many brandies and sodas. I don't know.
You ought to know that." They drew two easy-chairs together in a corner of the great, deserted smoking-room, and Hebblethwaite ordered the whiskies and sodas. "Yes," he remarked, "I forgot. You are on the other side, aren't you? I haven't a word to say against the navy. We spend more money than is necessary upon it, and I stick out for economy whenever I can.
There were nice crystal brands in the hotel windows, but I shall be dealing later with oils. Sceptical tipplers, whose every feature spelled whiskey, were reduced to the painful necessity of diluting their sodas with lime juice; and so strongly did the "claret" taste of timber that the beverage was adjudged a non-intoxicant with extraordinary unanimity!
Late in the afternoon he telephoned briefly that he would dine downtown. And when he did return, at nine or thereabouts in the evening, he clamped a cigar between his teeth, and fell to work covering a sheet of paper with interminable rows of figures. Hazel had worried over the possibility of his having had another tilt with the Scotch and sodas.
He slept for a day and a night, and when he awoke he asked for food. In a fortnight he was well. It was past midnight when Winter and I rowed back to shore and we had drunk innumerable whiskies and sodas. "What do you think of it all?" asked Winter. "What a question! If you mean, have I any explanation to suggest, I haven't." "The captain believes every word of it."
"Prig!" uttered Joyce again, and this time he did not take the pains to speak under his breath. But Darrin only smiled indulgently. By way of simple dissipation the three midshipmen went to a drug store, enjoying themselves with ice cream sodas. Soon after they found themselves in a Main Street bookstore, looking over post cards. They could, however, find no new ones, and so left without buying.
"Oh, then I'm not to see Bess or Belle or well, there are plenty of other girls just as keen on ice cream sodas as those mentioned," and he pretended to leave the room, as if his feelings had been hurt. "Now; you know, Jack, I always want you with me, but " "But just to-night you don't. All right, little sister.
