A common inquiry put to doctors is, "What do you think of the alcohol question in a tropical campaign?" Do we not think that it is a good thing that our army is, by force of circumstances, a teetotal one?
They assembled about the roads in groups; at the chapel-door; at Priest Flannery's house; at the teetotal reading-room as they call it, where the people drink cordial made of whiskey, and disturb the neighbourhood with cracked horns; and we heard that a public demonstration was to be made." "Was it a demonstration of joy or of grief?" "Both, Mr Armstrong! it was mixed.
"As Miss McQuinch and I are no longer on speaking terms, I leave her to the care of yonder scientific amateur, who has just refused, on teetotal grounds, to pledge the Rev. George in a glass of eighteen shilling sherry." "Dont be silly, Marmaduke. Bring Nelly some soda water." "Do nothing of the sort," said Miss McQuinch. Marmaduke bowed and retired.
Its billiard-table is not for their heavy hands, used to the pick-axe and shovel; its card games interrupt their talk; its newspapers remind them that they cannot read very well, and suggest a mode of life which they are unable to share.

"No, sir: nothing, absolutely nothing." "Well, Mike Shay tipped me off that it was to be 'wet' on the quiet." "He made a mistake; this is to be a strictly teetotal club." "That settles it. What's the good of a club where you can't have no fun? Good night!" and out he went.
If you say it is a teetotal boat, it is a teetotal boat; but you will not forget to give me whole herring for bait when you are going out of the bay? Rob could not speak; he was breathless. Nor was their work nearly done when they had got in the net with all its splendid gleaming treasure. There was not a breath of wind; they had to set to work to pull the heavy boat back to Erisaig.
