And aloud, grimly. "Thank you very much, sir. But I shall ask you to excuse me." Both the Colonel and the Adjutant were pardonably shaken by this unparalleled response. The Colonel barked: "Why? Teetotaller?" "No, sir. But I've eaten nothing since lunch, and a glass of whisky might make me drunk." Colonel Hullocher might have offered George some food to accompany the whisky, but he did not.
Meantime, upstairs, Philpot had gone into Newman's room and was discussing with him the possibility of extracting from Mr Sweater the price of a little light refreshment. 'I think, he remarked, 'that we oughter see-ise this 'ere tuneropperty to touch 'im for an allowance. 'We won't git nothin' out of 'IM, mate, returned Newman. ''E's a red-'ot teetotaller. 'That don't matter.
Dearman, denying himself champagne at dinner-parties, earning opprobrium as a teetotaller, going to bed early like a bread-and-butter flapper, and generally losing all the joys of Life! Been behaving like a backfisch.
But as a single glass of wine is dangerous to the teetotaller, so this episode had an over-balancing influence on Peter, entirely out of proportion to its true value.

Absence of competition creates a monopoly, and Enderby's was the best store in a large district including Hawthorne, St. Ignace, Beauscley, his only rival being the Yankee referred to by Crabbe, who did not, however, bear a very good character, having been detected in smuggling some of those old French brandies and liqueurs, although he was outwardly a teetotaller and his place had no licence.
At length the master turned teetotaller, when his principles forbade him to stop at the public-house; but the ass, whenever he reached the usual halting-place, refused to go on, and no beating would induce him to do so till he had received his usual allowance of beer. The carrier was therefore obliged to buy some beer for his beast, though no longer requiring it himself.
Musgrave, by an incredible mental agility, contrived to continue to take a critical interest in the meal and the argument at the same time; Herries thrust away an unfinished plate, refused what was offered to him, pushed his glasses about as if they were chessmen, filled the nearest with water at intervals he is a rigid teetotaller and drank out of them alternately with an abstracted air.
