"Well, I'm sorry there ain't nothin' stronger in the fort to give 'ee than tea, but for my part I find it strong enough to keep up my spirits, an' yer all heartily welcome to swig buckets-full o' that. There is an old fiddle in the store. If any o' ye can scrape a tune, we'll have a dance. If not, why we'll sing and be jolly."
Brains took a swig at his bottle and went on: "My brother, I am not an ordinary peasant. I don't come from the servile masses. I am the son of a deacon, and when I was a free man at Rursk, I used to wear a frock coat, and now I have brought myself to such a point that I can sleep naked on the ground and eat grass. God give such a life to everybody. I want nothing.
The Phoenix detached a canteen from the Scientist's belt and took a deep swig. "Ah, delicious! Our friend is well prepared, my boy." And indeed, the Scientist had all sorts of things with him: a hand-ax, a sheath knife, a compass, a camera, binoculars, a stop watch, notebooks and pencils, a coil of rope, maps. There was also a packet of sandwiches, which the Phoenix opened and began to eat.
I have it all, yet I could pitch it away this moment for a wild night on the slope, or a nigger hunt on the Rivas. Chateau-Leoville, Goulet, and Havanas at a bob? Jove, I thirst for a swig of raw Bourbon and the bite of a penny Mexican! Games, Gaston, games! Why the devil did little Joe worry at being made 'move on'? I've got 'move on' in every pore: I'm the Wandering Jew.
The tethered constellations paled in the sky; the moon rose and lit the cliff with silver fire. The worst was yet to come. Foy would ask no questions of any prowler, that was sure; he would reason that a friend would call out boldly. And John Wesley had no idea where Foy or his cave might be. Yet he must be found. With a hearty swig at the canteen Pringle crept off to the right.
"Oh, you'll sleep all the warmer for it. Come, take a swig with us." We made no move to accept the invitation. "Aw, you're temperance, are you?" one of the three exclaimed. "Nice little temperance lads!" "Yes," Addison said, laughing. "But that's all right. We thank you just the same." The three stood regarding us in an ugly mood, ready to quarrel.
The Big Otter flew up into the air, and then forgot " "Forgot what?" asked Macnab, much interested in his red friend's idea of intoxication. "Forgot everything," replied the Indian, with a look of solemn perplexity. "Well, I don't wonder; you must have had a good swig, apparently. How did ye feel next morning?" If the Indian's looks were serious before, they became indescribably solemn now.
Virginia, who had become quite sociable, was passing her little fingers through my father's large whiskers, while he every now and then put his pipe out of his mouth to kiss her. I had the porter-pot on my knees, my father having told me to take a swig, when my mother entered the room. "Well, Mr Benjamin, I shouldn't wonder but Oh! mercy, it's he!" cried my mother. "Oh! be quick sal-wolatily!"
The other one and me we git along all right, but that feller he's been educated on the scent of that old vest, and he'll be my enemy to my last day." "You're a lucky man to have a wife like Rabbit, anyhow, dog or no dog. It's hard for me to believe she ever took a long swig out of a whisky jug, Dad." "Well, sir, me and Rabbit was disputin' about that a day or so ago.
The Northman had lingered behind there; and something subtly different in his bearing, more bold in his blue, glassy stare, induced the commanding officer to conclude that the fellow had snatched at the opportunity to take another swig at the bottle he must have had concealed somewhere. "He noticed, too, that the Northman on meeting his eyes put on an elaborately surprised expression.
