He will go forth at dawn with countless flipflaps of gymnastic joy; and when the white sun shall redden with the blood of dying day, and the hogs shall set up a fine evening hymn of supplication to the Giver of Swill, he will stand upon the editorial head, blissfully conscious that his intellect is a-ripening for the morrow's work. The rural newspaper!
How could he refuse them? Especially when acquiescence meant escape from this horrible, horrible soul-sickness, this weight that was bearing his spirits down crushing them. Therein lay the tempter's power. Not in appetite he was no swine to swill for love of the draught. When he did yield he drained the cup scarce tasting its contents.
Did I say 'people's will' or 'people's swill'? Don't ask me!" The others paid their accounts and followed Mallory out, leaving Banneker alone at the table with the saturnine elder. Edmonds put a thumbful of tobacco in his pipe, and puffed silently. "What will it get a man?" asked Banneker, setting down his coffee-cup. "This game?" queried the other. "Yes."
"An' ye sweltered in the juice!" broke in Coolin with flashing eyes, proud to have roused Connor to this secret tale, which he would tell to the Berkshires as long as they would listen, that it should go down through a long line of Berkshires, as Coolin's tale of William Connor. "An' I sweltered in the swill," said Connor, his eye with a cast quite shut with emotion, and the other nearly so.
"You're not looking your best," said the other, Jack Broad, the telegraph operator. "Why, man, you look as though you were going to your own funeral. Buck up! Come and have a 'Collins'; brace you up for the ordeal." "Go to the devil, both of you," said Grey ungraciously. "I don't swill eye-openers all day like you, Jack Broad. Got something else to do." "So it seems.

They have put me with their swine, they have fed me upon husks, they have bid me drink their swill! And I bear it, by God, I bear it! And why? "I bear it that I may live!" "Come here, come here! Look at this!" The thing seized me by the shoulders and shook me, the thing with the fiery eyes.

No feller don't take no account o' her bein' a pot-wallopin', hash-slingin' mutton rustler. It sure ain't no worse than ladlin' swill to prize hogs. It's jest in the way o' business. 'Sides, she don't need to care what no fellers thinks. She ain't stuck on men-folk wuth a cent." "That I sure ain't," asserted a smothered voice from the bosom of his dirty shirt. "That you ain't," he reassured her.
Good page, my friend, fill me here some, and crown the wine, I pray thee. Like a cardinal! Natura abhorret vacuum. Would you say that a fly could drink in this? This is after the fashion of Switzerland. Clear off, neat, supernaculum! Come, therefore, blades, to this divine liquor and celestial juice, swill it over heartily, and spare not! It is a decoction of nectar and ambrosia.
