Well, good night! No letters, no addresses." "Exact terms. Six months from date I'll be cooling my heels in your ante-room." "Cavenaugh, if it's anything else except a joke. . . ." "Oh, rot! It was your suggestion.
"You are right, my boy," the bon vivant said sententiously. "It is a wine for old men. But look after your stomach, you dog or you may wake up some fine morning and not be able to know good Madeira from bad. You young bloods, with your vile concoctions of toddies, punches, and other satanic brews, are fast going to the devil your palates, I am speaking of.

Mr. Robert had a passion for fishing, which he usually indulged whenever the season and business permitted. One day, when reports had been coming in relating to the bass and perch, he announced his intention of making a two or three days' visit to the lakes.
Harrison, who was making impromptu verses on every possible subject, to the accompaniment of a cithern which was played by a sad little Italian in a large cloak, to whom the host of the "Rainbow" gave so many toddies and a dollar for his nightly performance. Mr. Pippel's shop was but a short distance from the Wondersmith's house.
He'll be a total loss as a reporter that's one prediction; and the other is that he'll have a hard time buying his provender and his toddies over at the Shawnee Club on the salary he'll draw down from the Evening Press."
