"So you could actually give four-and-twenty hours to Chitipur, Mr. Thresk. That was most kind and considerate of you. Chitipur is grateful. Let us drink to it! By the way what will you drink? Our cellar is rather limited in camp. There's some claret and some whisky-and-soda." "Whisky-and-soda for me, please," said Thresk. "And for me too.
They served him dinner, which was like his breakfast but for the addition of some cutlets. He took his coffee; he took a pipe two pipes, slowly, with a book; he took a whisky-and-soda; and he went to bed. I have said that he had no watch; it hung idly on a nail; therefore he knew not the time, but it would very likely be about half-past nine.
He had taken a little champagne before dinner, a moderate allowance of wine in the course of the meal, and two rather liberal tumblers of whisky-and-soda with Ralston. This was not the direction in which he was accustomed to approach excess, but he remembered gladly that he had a carafe of brandy in the room.
"Captain Luttrell asked me to look after you. He has got some work on hand for the moment. We'll see after your affs." "Thank you." "You might show me, by the way, where your cartridges are." Hillyard selected the camel on which they were packed and Rayne called a Sudanese sergeant to take them into the mess. "Now we will go upstairs. I expect that you can do with a whisky-and-soda," he said.
I've thought of it more than once lately." "Perhaps by that time," Lord Arranmore said, "the woman whom you wanted to marry wouldn't have you." Hennibul looked serious for a moment. A new idea had occurred to him. "One must take one's chances!" he said. "You are a philosopher," Arranmore declared. "Will you have some tea or a whisky-and-soda?" "Neither, thanks.
It's very good of you to come all this way to see me; you must be pretty busy." "Oh, Eve is tremendously well! Thanks, no, I won't have any tea, but you might give me a whisky-and-soda. I had to come down into these wilds to look at a yacht which we think of taking for the summer.
Seeing that I was still set upon departure: "Hold on a bit, Knox," he implored. "Don't go yet. There is something I want to ask you, something very important." He crossed to a sideboard and mixed himself a stiff whisky-and-soda. He asked me to join him, but I refused. "Won't you sit down again?" I shook my head. "You came to my place at Katong once," he began abruptly.
The Blade at Harrow, according to a reliable authority, drinks cherry brandy and even champagne; other Blades consume whisky-and-soda; the less costly kind of Blade does it on beer. And here the beginner is often at a loss. Let us say he has looked up the street and down, ascertained that there are no aunts in the air, and then plunged into his first public-house. How shall he ask for his liquor?
To keep it is to tempt the wrath of the gods, but I should keep it." He poured out another whisky-and-soda and suddenly began to curse Miss Schley. Sir Donald had spoken to her after Mrs. Wolfstein's lunch. "She's imitating Lady Holme," said Carey. "I cannot see the likeness," Sir Donald said. "Miss Schley seems to me uninteresting and common." "She is."
Therefore, the French bank will have no means of detecting the harmless little deception practised upon them, and the English bank, if it should ever see those checks, will raise no question, since the checks will have been honored by the Credit Lyonnais." Soames finished his whisky-and-soda at a gulp.
