We then used to consider it not the least vulgar for a parcel of lads who had been whipped three months previous, and were not allowed more than three glasses of port at home, to sit down to pineapples and ices at each other's rooms, and fuddle themselves with champagne and claret. One looks back to what was called a 'wine-party' with a sort of wonder.
He chooses to be the only eagle in Persia; but Croesus does not spare his vanity " "Where can Croesus be all this time?" "In the hanging-gardens. My father and Gobryas have very likely detained him." Just at that moment the voice of Zopyrus was heard exclaiming, "Well, I call that polite! Bartja invites us to a wine-party and leaves us sitting here without a host, while he talks secrets yonder."
He wrote home a careless note to mention the fact that his Saint Werner's career was ended, and attributed this result to a mere escapade at a wine-party, which had been distorted by rumour, and exaggerated by malice into a serious offence. So when Vyvyan gaily entered his father's house, he felt rather light-hearted than otherwise.

"I say, Brogten, how is it that we are always asking Kennedy to our rooms, and he so very seldom asks us?"
Agathon had won the tragic prize and invited many friends to a wine-party. After a slight introduction a proposition was carried that all should speak in praise of Love. First a youth Phaedrus describes the antiquity of love and gives instances of the attachments between the sexes.
His style of life cannot be better described than by saying that he affected the fine gentleman. Hardly a day had passed during which he had not been at some large breakfast or wine-party, or formed one of a select little body of supping aristocrats.
There they were the two of them Hollis and Withrow yes, Withrow there when I broke in on them, and Maurice between them drunk. Yes, sir, drunk and helpless. They called it a wine-party, as though a man couldn't get as good and drunk on wine in a private residence as ever he could on whiskey or rum in the back room of a saloon.
