Archbold told the nurses if ever "tanking recurred she would bundle the whole female staff into the street, and then have them indicted by the Commissioners." These virtuous acts did Edith Archbold for love for a young man. Whether mad women or sane, women pregnant, or the reverse, were tanked or not, she cared at heart no more than whether sheep were washed or no in Ettrick's distant dale.
"Judd Morgan," his lips framed without making a sound. Bannister nodded. "Been tanking up all day," Mac added. "Otherwise his tongue would not be shooting off so reckless." A silence had fallen over the assembly save for the braggarts at the bar. Men looked at each other, and then furtively at Bannister.
"See who is here." The young man nodded gloomily. He had recognized already the two men drinking at a table in the rear. "Meldrum and Hart make a sweet pair to draw to when they're tanking up. They're about the two worst bad men in this part of the country. My advice is to take the other side of the street when you see them coming," Ryan contributed.
After a night of sound sleep we awaken refreshed and buoyant, all our forces replenished; thirsty, of course, but not hungry" he sat down to the table and placed both hands again to his head "and we have no need of food. Yet such is the force of custom that we deaden ourselves for the day by tanking up on coarse, loathsome stuff like bacon. Ugh!
Well, I've examined the specimen of ore you brought back. It looks like high-grade stuff and certainly carries enough metal to pay for smelting." "What do you think about Strange's tale?" Scott knitted his brows. "I did think the man a drunken crank and the lode an illusion that had grown on him by degrees until he really believed in the ore. When you get the tanking habit such things happen.
"Ah-ha," he said, "that's th' way you keep Lent, is it? Two weeks from Ash Wednesday, and you tanking up." Mr. Dooley went on deliberately to finish the experiment, leisurely dusting the surface with nutmeg and tasting the product before setting down the glass daintily.
"I can imagine his astonishment when you asked for a bill, and must admit that you're a sport. All the same, it's humiliating to have my friends told you don't trust me with money." "The trouble is I can't trust you. Now you listen, Bob. This tanking and gambling has got to be stopped." "I'm afraid I've given you some bother," Charnock answered penitently. "For all that, I'm not so bad as I was.
"So far he's braced up better than I expected, but when a man's been tanking steadily, it's pretty drastic to put him through the total deprivation cure." "I wonder," Blake said thoughtfully, "whether it is a cure; we have both seen men who made some effort to save themselves go down. Though I'm a long way from being a philanthropist, I hate this waste of good material.
For the least offence, or out of mere wantonness, they would drag a patient stark naked across the yard, and thrust her bodily under water again and again, keeping her down till almost gone with suffocation, and dismissing her more dead than alive with obscene and insulting comments ringing in her ears, to get warm again in the cold. This my ladies called "tanking."
