Jerry put his brandy-bottle at the side of his pillow kindly informing him that he would have an opportunity of taking a few more swigs before he went down, for the water was only up to her bends at present. Peter was already in the cot next to him, and Seymour and Jerry turned in, without taking off their clothes, in Courtenay's bed on the other side of the cabin.
"Old Pigey has just had three staving swigs from his flask, and they are all getting ready. There goes 'Tommy Totten," as the bugle call for "forward" is familiarly called in the army. Our course was continued to the left two regiments marching abreast until we neared a main road leading westward from the town.
The keeper pours out about half a pannikin of raw rum and hands it to the bushman. The moment he smells the old familiar smell his longing for it returns, and he swigs it off at a gulp. His eyes shine more brightly and his face becomes flushed. The keeper watches him narrowly. "You can go now, Jim," he says. "Steady, mate, steady," says the bushman. "I'm as good a man as you.
A good half hour or more he'll stay, And that makes me so riled, He swigs it half upon his way: What a piggish child!" And the ladies, striking their glasses, repeated in chorus in the midst of a formidable gaiety: "What a piggish child! What a piggish child!" Even the Rue de la Goutte-d'Or itself joined in now. The whole neighborhood was singing "What a piggish child!"
