He struck his forehead with his clenched hand and called himself the most unflattering names he could think of, "fool, blockhead, idiot."

They had pushed him away from his daughter.
He had drunk a considerable amount during the course of the evening, and he went on drinking during supper: a glass of Tokay with the salad, beer with the roast pork and duck, and now he ordered a bottle of Moselle with the vanilla ice. Others followed his example. Count Jagodziúski would not be satisfied with anything less than champagne, for Mr. Tiralla's silver was burning a hole in his pocket.
He drew up a chair, Geoffrey reached at a decanter, and so Lady Waverton rose and Alison after her. Colonel Boyce started up. "But no not at that price. Damme, that would poison the Prince's own Tokay. Nay, you are too cruel, my lady. I come, and you desolate the table to receive me. Gad's life, ma'am, our friends here will be calling me out for my daring to exist."
Burley to the bookseller: "he understands allegory." MR. PRICKETT. "Poor youth! He came to town with the idea of turning author: you know what that is, Mr. Burley." "Bibliopole, yes! An author is a being between gods and men, who ought to be lodged in a palace, and entertained at the public charge upon ortolans and Tokay.

"Chantons!" cried the Regent, whose eyes, winking and rolling, gave token of his approaching state which equals the beggar to the king; "let us have a song. Noce, lift up thy voice, and let us hear what the Tokay has put into thy head!" Noce obeyed, and sang as men half drunk generally do sing.
