Wit is a creeping dotard, and Happiness he is in poor health an' can barely drag himself to me table, an' Hope is a tippler, an' Right Hand is getting the palsy. Alack! me best servant left me a long time ago." "And who was he?" "Youth! lovely, beautiful Youth! but let us be happy. I would not have him back foolish, inconstant Youth! dreaming dreams an' seeing visions.
Last of all almost too late Tom Riley appeared, buckling on his lifebelt as he ran. His gait was not quite steady, and his face was flushed. The coxswain was quick to note these facts. "Take that lifebelt off!" he said, sternly, when Riley came up. No need to ask why. The tippler knew the reason why only too well, and he also knew that it was useless, as well as dangerous, to disobey the coxswain.
"Oui," replied the officer, solemnly, though the grateful acknowledgments of the juvenile tippler were lost upon him, except so far as he could interpret them by the motions of the speaker. "I feel meaner than Napoleon did after the battle of Waterloo," groaned Lynch. "Stiffen up, now. Here's the hotel," added Grossbeck. "Well, what shall we do?
And then with a sort of swaggering air like that of a fencing-master or tippler, searching for some droll expressions, cowardly avenging himself by jests ejected like so many streams of tobacco, against this woman who had just insulted him, who spoke of blackmail and the police, and of thrusting the miserable fellow out of doors, he told everything that he knew; Marianne's neediness, her weariness, her loves, the Dujarrier connection, the renting of the Hôtel Vanda, the Vaudrey paper and its renewals, his own foolishness as a too artless and tender, good sort of fellow, relying on Claire Dujarrier's word, and not reserving to himself so much per cent in the affair!

With the two bottles in his hands, the chaplain returned to the professors' cabin. Mr. Lowington was on deck.
As she said this she glided through the door and it closed after her. "I don't know what her husband would say to that," was remarked after a few moments of surprised silence. "I don't care what HE would say, but I'll tell you what I will say" spoke out a man whom I had several times noticed as a rather a free tippler "The old lady has given us capital advice, and I mean to take it, for one.
Finding that none of the officers knew what had brought about the order, he worked among the clerks, who knew nothing at all. One of these latter lived not far from the Lambert Library, was a tippler at times, and had a grievance.
"Louis," said the Baroness von Altenburg, in a semi-whisper, "your wife is one of those persons who cling to respectability like a tippler to his bottle. To her it is absolutely nothing how many women you may pursue or conquer so long as you remain here under her thumb, to be exhibited, in fair sobriety, upon the necessary public occasions. I pity you, my Louis."
Then she put a brave face on it, and opened the door. "Here we are, mummy. Good night. I hope the evening wasn't too long." Long? on the contrary the hours had flown. Mrs. Cayhill, left to herself, had all the comfortable sensations of a tippler in the company of his bottle.
This example of the old type of Hussar was a rowdy, quarrelsome, swashbuckling, tippler, but also brave to the point of foolhardiness; for the rest, he was completely ignorant of anything that was not connected with his horse, his arms and his duties in the face of the enemy.
