"But it really wasn't your affair. I am perfectly entitled to fly whenever I feel like it." Pleading that the roar of the motor had deafened me, I climbed up onto the passenger seat.
Here the splutter of the broiler was replaced by the hiss of the siphon, and the pop-pop of corks, and the tinkle and clink of ice against glass. "Hello, dearie!" cooed Miss Sweeney, in greeting, staring hard at the suspicious redness around Miss Fink's eyelids. "Ain't you sweet to come over here in the headache department and help me out! Here's the wine list. You'll prob'ly need it.
"Should conspirators prevail, and the damnedest be, she hath yet the Manor of Rozel and my larder," urged Lempriere, with a splutter through the canary. "That shall be only when the Fifth wind comes it is so ordained, Nuncio!" said the fool blinking. Buonespoir set down his flagon.
