Now, granting that the duchess herself burnt them for ten minutes in undressing and imbibing her nightly whisky-and-water and that would just about tally with the young duke's assertion that the door was locked and her Grace in bed when he reached the room that would leave them to have been burning for just five minutes when the cook, Godwin, says she discovered the light shining under the door and through the keyhole."
But these extravagances were due perhaps to whisky-and-water, and that kind of intoxication which comes to certain men from momentary triumphs. Tifto could always be got to make a fool of himself when surrounded by three or four men of rank who, for the occasion, would talk to him as an equal. He almost declared that Coalition had lost his match because he had not been taken down to Silverbridge.
Hawbury told him. "Are there oars in the boat?" "Yes." "I am well used to the sea," said Midwinter, descending the pier steps. "You may trust me to take care of my friend, and to take care of the boat." "Good-night, doctor!" shouted Allan. "Your whisky-and-water is delicious your boat's a little beauty and you're the best fellow I ever met in my life!"
He went to the play one night for you see I'm down here readin' for my little go during the Long, only I come over from Baymouth pretty often in my drag well, sir, we went to the play, and Pen was struck all of a heap with Miss Fotheringay Costigan her real name is an uncommon fine gal she is too; and the next morning I introduced him to the General, as we call her father a regular old scamp and such a boy for the whisky-and-water! and he's gone on being intimate there.
He was standing by the sideboard, mixing whisky-and-water, so, instead of sending her love to mamma, Beth exclaimed, confidently and pleasantly, "If you drink whisky, you'll be drunk again." A smart slap rewarded this sally. Beth turned pale and recoiled. It was her first taste of human injustice.
The old-fashioned boxes into which the guests edged themselves had not been removed, and about the mahogany bar, placed in the passage in front of the proprietress's parlour, two dingy barmaids served actors from the adjoining theatre with whisky-and-water. The contributors to the Pilgrim had selected a box, and were clamouring for food.
Dogs had gone amiss, or guns, and he had been made angry by the champagne which Popplecourt caused to be sent down. He knew what champagne meant. Whisky-and-water, and not much of it, was the liquor which Reginald Dobbes loved in the mountains. "Don't you call this a very ugly country?" Silverbridge asked as soon as he arrived.
He criticised it as the humpiest funeral he had ever known; for a time he had serious thoughts of changing his profession. The solicitor's clerk was waiting for the party on its return from Kensal Green. Clodd again offered hospitality. Mr. Pincer this time allowed himself a glass of weak whisky-and-water, and sipped it with an air of doing so without prejudice.
We call him the General. Captain Costigan, will you take something to drink?" "Bedad, I will," says the Captain, "and I'll sing ye a song tu." And, having procured a glass of whisky-and-water from the passing waiter, the poor old man, settling his face into a horrid grin, and leering, as he was wont when he gave what he called one of his prime songs, began his music.
It did not in the least vex Miss Goold to know that her servants' quarters were decorated with portraits of the reigning family in gilt frames, or that King William III. pranced on a white charger above the kitchen range. Nor had she any objection to her butler invoking a nightly malediction on the Pope over his tumbler of whisky-and-water.
