He would show the doctor quite plainly what his varicose vein was like. When Victor Crummles entered the room he was feeling a bit tired, but courageous. He had taken another "stiffener" at the "Spread Eagle" and felt equal to any fate. There were two doctors in the room one sitting at a table, the other standing by the window. "Anything the matter with you?" said he at the table.
It would be Arcadia, and it would be cheap. Even with his present income every rural want could be satisfied. An infusion of feasibility or what he looked upon as such into the sentimentality of such a man as Walter Lodloe generally acts as a stiffener to his purposes. He was no more in love with Mrs.
Finally, glancing at his watch, he straightened up, yawned, stretched his arms and announced: "Bed-time he stop. Head belong this fellow white man too much sleepy along him. Nightcap, Evan?" Graham nodded, for both felt the need of a stiffener. "Mrs. Toper nightcap?" Dick queried of Paula.
We then gave up the partie; it was useless to contend against Jupiter Tonans as well as Pluvialis. I opened my bedding, drank a "stiffener" of raw cognac, wrapped myself well, and at once fell asleep in the heavy rain, whilst the crew gathered under the sail.
Aspinall and his solicitor retired to a room for a legal consultation. It began thus: "I say, Lane, fetch me a nobbler of brandy; a stiffener, mind." Lane fetched the stiffener in a soda-water bottle, and it cleared the legal atmosphere. When the court resumed business, Frank took his stand in the witness box, and a voice said: "Now, Mr. Barlow, look at me."

Come in and take a drink, and I'll tell you the whole yarn before I go aboard and see the young fellow. I've got a letter for him from her in my pocket. It'll be a regular stiffener for him, poor chap; but if I'm any judge of a man he'll not make a song about it."
The coffee was not very good, but it was hot, and when I had finished it I felt like another man. "There now," cried the bar-keeper, looking at me with great satisfaction, "don't that take the dampness out of ye? I tell ye there's no such stiffener in the airly mornin' as whiskey; and if ye don't use it in one way, ye can in another."
You know what old times were." Colonel Joe grins with a twinge of conscience. He has had his "beaux-jours." "I will hold on till the limitation runs out. I don't want to cloud the title to my mine, with litigation. It comes through Valois." "You never heard of any Eastern heirs?" Joe remarks, gulping a "stiffener" of brandy. "Never," says Hardin, reaching for his hat and cane.
"Old Jeremy, God love him for the fine man he was," Terrence said, tucking his arm in Dick's. "Come on, old man, 'tis a stiffener you're wanting and I'm the lad to lead you to it." "Oh, I'm all right," Dick smiled, shaking his shoulders and squaring himself as if gathering himself together. "It did hit me hard for the moment. I hadn't a doubt in the world but Jeremy would make it out all right.
One of its principal members appears to be a little man, with a long and rather inflamed face, and gray hair brushed bolt upright in front; he wears a wisp of black silk round his neck, without any stiffener, as an apology for a neckerchief, and is addressed by his companions by the familiar appellation of ‘Fitz,’ or some such monosyllable.
