"Aw tee-hee!" she said, wiping at her upper lip. "Here!" She regarded the foam sing down into amber quiet. "I'm on the water-wagon," she said, essaying to be light of vein, crossing her hands and feet and tilting her glance at him. "Say, here's a girl won't blow the foam off a fellow's glass for fear she'll get soapsuds in her eyes!" "Wash her face with 'em!"
That same Johnny Besser who, on account of his theological predilections went by the nickname of "The Reverend," and who could argue until long after midnight over the most profound Biblical problems, that same Johnny Besser, who was perpetually on the water-wagon. There he sat, banging away as hard as he could on the piano!
The ten-foot stone wall was, like every other stone wall, connected with La Ferte, topped with three feet of barbed wire. The door by which we exited with the water-wagon to the street outside was at least eight feet high, adorned with several large locks.
"So down from the regular capital he sends for Clifford Wainwright and makes him his private secretary at twenty thousand Peru dollars a year. Yes, sir so much. Wainwright was on the water-wagon thanks to me and Timotea and he was soon in clover with the government gang. Don't forget what done it calisaya bark with them other herbs mixed make a tea of it, and give a cupful every two hours.
He heard the jocund whistle of Dingwell as the cattleman came along the corridor. Swiftly he pocketed the revolver and unlocked the door. When Dave entered, Roy was lying on the bed pretending to read a newspaper. If the older man noticed that the paper shook, he ignored it.

"Matt's about due to go on a tear. He's been on the water-wagon now about his limit.
She climbed up to the high wagon seat and took the reins from the man, who immediately seized upon a sack and went off to the fight. She felt that she was out of touch. She was out on the prairie at night, miles away from any house, driving a water-wagon for the men to put out a prairie fire.
Joe whistled a long, perplexed whistle, and racked his brains to little purpose. "I've got the price of the drinks," he said desperately. "Come on, an' mebbe we'll cook up something." Martin declined. "Water-wagon?" This time Martin nodded, and Joe lamented, "Wish I was." "But I somehow just can't," he said in extenuation. "After I've ben workin' like hell all week I just got to booze up.
You ought to climb on the water-wagon, Ford, and that's a fact. Whisky's the worst enemy you've got." "Sure. And I'm going to punish all of it I can get my hands on!" He turned toward the door. "And when I'm good and full of it," he added as an afterthought, "I'm liable to come over here and lick you, Lew, just for being such an agreeable cuss. You better leave your mother's address handy."
Ben came forward; and slowly, reluctantly, with evil, red-rimmed eyes, Peters. And, as the Lark had done, they tossed their revolvers to the sand near Conniston's wagon and trudged off toward the nearest water-wagon. A dozen men followed them.
