"Wot about you and Ginger?" he ses. "Wot about us?" ses Sam and Ginger, both together. "Why, you'd 'ave to be teetotallers, too," ses Peter. "Woes the good o' me pretending to be steady if 'e sees I've got pals like you?" Sam scratched his 'ead agin, ever so long, and at last he ses, "Well, mate," he ses, "drink don't trouble me nor Ginger.
Since that period the poets have improved in the decencies of life: they wear broadcloth, and settle their tailors' accounts even as other men. At this present moment Her Majesty's poets are perhaps the most respectable of Her Majesty's subjects. They are all teetotallers; if they sin, it is in rhyme, and then only to point a moral.
"We are teetotallers," said Thornberry; "but we can give you a good cup of coffee." "I am a teetotaller too at this time of the day," said Endymion; "but a good cup of coffee is, they say, the most delicious and the rarest beverage in the world." "Well," continued Thornberry; "it is a long time since we met, Mr. Ferrars ten years.
In order to mark this happy point in the expedition, Mackenzie treated himself and men to a dram, "but," observe that I quote his words, reader, "we had been so long without tasting any spirituous liquor, that we had Lost all relish for it!" Rejoice in that testimony, ye teetotallers. Think of it, ye topers. Put it in your pipes, ye smokers and make the most of it!
But I wonder you have never joined yourself to some of these ultra reformers these teetotallers, as they call themselves." "I have never done so, and never intend doing so. It is sufficient for me to decline drinking, because I do not believe that stimulating beverages are good for the body or mind.

You don't know them teetotallers as well as I do, sir. `Oh dear, no; not a drop, not a drop: wouldn't touch it for the world. But they manage to have it on the sly for all that. I've no faith in 'em at all. I'd rather be as I am, though I says it as shouldn't say it, an honest fellow as gets drunk now and then, and ain't ashamed to own it, than one of your canting teetotallers.
Yet, notwithstanding all their exaggerations, the teetotallers do much good; and their rough appeals often penetrate hearts and heads that would be impervious to gentler and finer influences. Let me not forget to mention the public entertainments got up for the benefit of the common school of the town.
"Tempting, but such profanity in the face of Vale Leston was forbidden, and so was the comic element, as bad for the teetotallers." "But who were the wreckers?" asked Anna. "Buccaneers, my dear, singing songs out of the 'Pirate'- schoolmaster, organist, and choir generally. They get wrecked on the island, and are terrified by the elves into releasing Alonso, etc.
These four persons were tasting their tenth grog, and probably their last, for the letter from Aberdeen had ordered that all the crew, from the captain to the stoker, should be teetotallers, and that there should be no wine, beer, nor spirits on board except those given by the doctor's orders. The conversation had been going on about the departure for the last hour.
They refused to take it, although ordinarily they are not teetotallers." Members of the United States life-saving crew of Louisville navigated sections of flooded Dayton heretofore unexplored, reporting conditions in North Dayton and Riverdale quite as deplorable as the first estimates concerning suffering were concerned.
