Dining, and dining well, at George H. Boughton's house in London, Whistler was obliged to leave the table and go up-stairs to indite a note. In a few moments a great noise revealed the fact that he had fallen down the flight. "Who is your architect?" he asked, when picked up. The host told him Norman Shaw. "I might have known it," said Whistler. "The d d teetotaler!"
Seven hundred dollars was the total cost of liquors during the eighteen months of his absence. Admiral Smyth concludes that Maskelyne "was not quite what is now ycleped a teetotaler." He was subsequently Astronomer Royal of England for nearly half a century, but his published observations give no indication of the cost of the drinks necessary to their production.
"I was going to take the pitcher, if either Virginia or this conscientious teetotaler cared for a shot." He chuckled unpleasantly. "I thought I could get more that way." They poured themselves mighty drinks, staggering portions that more than half-emptied the first of the quarts. Then they threw back their heads and drained the cups.
"I know I shouldn't do it, Gavin," he heard the latter say, "I'm really a teetotaler in Australia. Used to take a drop or two before I emigrated; but I'm an elder now, and I haven't tasted for years. However this is a special occasion." Mr. Blake moved his chair to where he could catch a glimpse of the men. They were advanced in years, both about sixty-five, and their heads were gray.
No creditor intervening, I spent the first half of the day inquiring into the conditions of the tea and silk market under the auspices of Sharpe; lunched with him in a private apartment at the Hawaiian Hotel for Sharpe was a teetotaler in public; and about four in the afternoon was delivered into the hands of Fowler.
"Nope," he shook his head, grinning wisely, "I'm a teetotaler." "Be back for us at dark," we shouted, as he jee-d about, heading toward town again. "Here's to old Gregory and his first drunk!" Tin cups had been produced, and the bung of one of the barrels started ... the boys lifted their full, foaming cups in unison. "Bottoms up!"
And for her gentle courtesy and kindness to my old friend I blessed her and wiped out a big score I had against her country. How glad Russia will be! But the Irishman was not happy. Course after course had been served. With every rich course came a rare wine. Colorado shook a shaggy gray head at every bottle, though he was choking with thirst. He was a teetotaler.
"You promised to tell me the history of your cannas," said Mr. Heard. "You were going to tell it me too," answered Denis. "I did. I was. And I will. But let me ask you this: have you ever heard of a teetotaler conspicuous for kindliness of heart, or intellectually distinguished in any walk of life? I should be glad to know his name. A sorry crew!
My father did not believe in serving strong liquor to his men, and seldom treated them to even beer. While not a teetotaler he was strongly opposed to all that intemperance represented. He furnished the best of food, and tea and coffee, but no liquor, and the men respected him for it. The reaping on our farm that year lasted about four weeks.
"Williams has considerable, I believe. I don't think there is any in the forward house. The captain is a teetotaler." "I see. When these decanters go back, Williams takes charge of them?" "Yes. He locks them away." He dropped his voice still lower. "Empty them, Leslie," he said. "Do you understand? Throw what is left overboard.
