I remember the last time I was squiffy I sang all the way home that old nursery hymn: "'On the other side of Jordan, In the sweet fields of Eden, Where the tree of life is blooming, There is rest for you. There is rest for the weary, There is rest for the weary, There is rest for the weary, There is rest for you!" "I should have liked to hear you sing it sure!" said Suzon, laughing.
"Dear old Squiffy was always like that. It's a gift. However woozled he might be, it was impossible to detect it with the naked eye. I've seen the dear old chap many a time whiffled to the eyebrows, and looking as sober as a bishop. Soberer! When did it begin to dawn on the lads in the grill-room that the old egg had been pushing the boat out?" "The head waiter," said Mr.
"Then we had to ask him how every other word was spelt, of course, and he gibbered a lot more. It was what you might call a final exhibition a last attack a giddy par-ergon." "But o' course he was blind squiffy when he wrote the paper. I hope you explained that?" said Stalky. "Oh, yes. I told Tulke so. I said an immoral prefect an' a drunken house-master were legitimate inferences.
I knew a man who got squiffy at our Mess once and confided to me that he never helped his wife on to her horse without praying that she'd break her neck before she came back. All husbands aren't alike, you see. G. What on earth has that to do with my case? The man must ha' been mad, or his wife as bad as they make 'em. You've forgotten the tune when you were insane about the Herriott woman.
"He is to-night. To-morrow he can look for some other hotel to break up." "Great Scot! Has dear old Squiffy been breaking the place up?" Mr. Brewster snorted. "I am informed that this precious friend of yours entered my grill-room at eight o'clock. He must have been completely intoxicated, though the head waiter tells me he noticed nothing at the time." Archie nodded approvingly.
"Let me fill me bottle first." He looked up at the young man with extraordinary cunning. "Ever know'd a monkey get squiffy?" he asked confidentially. "No. Nor me neever." Monkey Brand Gets the Sack Joses was lying on his bed in the gray of dawn, looking curiously livid, when somebody whistled beneath his window. He rose and looked out. Monkey was standing morosely in the garden underneath.
What on earth are you doing over here?" "Let's get out of this crush, my boy." General Mannister steered Archie into a side-street, "That's better." He cleared his throat once or twice, as if embarrassed. "I've brought Seacliff over," he said, finally. "Dear old Squiffy here? Oh, I say! Great work!" General Mannister did not seem to share his enthusiasm.
He was much too sore and shaken to be subtle; and the general trend of his conjectures was perfectly legible to Lanyard, who without delay set himself to conjure away any lingering suspicion of his guilelessness. "Not squiffy, are you, by any chance?" he enquired with the kindliest interest. "You look as if you'd wound up a spree by picking a fight with a bobby.
And he chaffed her merrily. "Here's a tale if it ever leaks out Rodchurch way. Have you heard how Mrs. Dale behaved up in London? Went to the theater, and drunk more'n was good for her. Came out fair squiffy so's poor Mr. Dale, he felt quite disgraced." She was not intoxicated in an ugly way; her speech, her movements were unaffected, and yet the alcohol was troubling her brain.
And so one night I put a leetle pinch of something that a good friend of mine give me in La Jolleta's champagne what she drink before she dance, and when ze call-boy come she lie there on ze sofa 'er mouth open comme ca snoring like a pink elephant asleep 'ow you say squiffy dead to ze world.
