But upon this occasion my father set no bounds to his joy, and determined to keep it up, which he did, till the whole to the last hoop of the stingo was gone. I have heard the nurse say that she toasted bread from morning till night for a fortnight, and that in the whole there could not have been less bread used than what was made from two bags of flour.
'An' since 'twas very clear we drank only ginger-beer, Faith, there must ha'been some stingo in the ginger. Come back, you maniac. I'm going to take you home, and you're going to lie down. CAPT. G. What on earth do I want to lie down for? CAPT. M. Give me a light from your cheroot and see. CAPT. M. You are. I'll get you a peg and you'll go to sleep.
'He always used to tip me a sovereign, and Ben Bowyer, the dog-fancier, said Stingo was worth thirty shillings any day, only he let me have him for eight and six, because he wanted to sell off his stock. 'I thought as much. And Sims keeps him for you? 'At ninepence a week; but the brute is at me for ever, and says it is twelve weeks. 'Pray, how were you to raise ninepence a week?
One of the troop, who had been plying the Cornet's old stingo pretty freely, interrupted him, in a voice as opposite to that of the Cornet as the roaring of a cannon is to the chirping of a cricket, and replied "Never mind, Sir, about any apology, but put on your regimentals as fast as you can, or we shall get to Salisbury after all the mischief is done."
"READER, with kind regard this GRAVE survey Nor heedless pass where TIPPER'S ashes lay. Honest he was, ingenuous, blunt, and kind; And dared do, what few dare do, speak his mind. PHILOSOPHY and History well he knew, Was versed in PHYSICK and in Surgery too. The best old STINGO he both brewed and sold, Nor did one knavish act to get his Gold.
Never, till I saw the brass knocker on the door of the Vizier's palace in Timor the Tartar, painted, you told me, by Wilkins of the Yorkshire Stingo, did I know how you produced your marvellous effects on the door of Billy Button, the tailor of Brentford. The Vizier's knocker was a caricature; but it showed your style.
Nothing to do but sit in an arm-chair on a wet day like this, and say, If from the Mile End turnpike to the "Castle" on the Kingsland Road is so much, how much should it be to the "Yorkshire Stingo," or Pine-Apple-Place, Maida Vale? And you measure by other fares till you get as near the place you want as you can, if it isn't set down in black and white to your hand in the book.
"That's good pizen, Bird Riley; but it is not jest the stingo that I like best," said Christy, as he wiped his mouth with his sleeve in proper form, for he did not like the smell of the fluid lightning that clung to his lips. "Whiskey suits me most; but they waste the corn makin' bread on't, and there ain't much on't left to make the staff of life.
I wur soon on the road agen, a-gwain like a house a-vire, an' thur wur more clotheslines aal the way along on pwosts. W'en we got nearish to Lunnon I seed sum girt beg round barrels painted black. I axed a chap what thay wur, an' he sed that thay wur beg barrels o' stingo, an' thur wur pipes laid on to the peeple's housen vor thay to draw vram.
'He's been keeping a dog for me, said Bernard sulkily. 'A dog! Lance sat up in astonishment immeasurable. 'Yes. Its the thing, and no mistake, said Bernard eagerly. 'His name is Stingo; only we are not quite sure whether he is a bull- terrier or a short-haired King Charles.
