Not that he dined at home often. And there were other beings present to my repentant thoughts. Where's his wife, thought I? Where's poor, good, kind little Laura? At this very moment it's about the nursery bed-time, and while yonder good-for-nothing is swilling his wine the little ones are at Laura's knees lisping their prayers: and she is teaching them to say 'Pray God bless Papa.
But I restrained myself. I merely remarked: 'You have finished your soup, I hear, love. We had not yet reached the stage of open rupture when I could exclaim: 'For goodness' sake stop swilling down soup like a grampus! I have never heard a grampus take soup. But the expression seems picturesque. Henry, too, had not quite lost his fortitude.
The whole of that chattering, swilling mob are employing their muddled minds on frivolity or obscenity, or worse things still. You will hear hardly an intelligent word; you will not catch a sound of sensible discussion; the scraps of conversation that reach you alternate between low banter, low squabbling, objectionable narrative, and histories of fights or swindles or former debauches.
Deborah rolled out in drenched lumps into the swilling gutter. There was a muffled shriek at the window where Mrs. Bellamy gesticulated. 'It's all right. I've paid for them, said Mr. Lingnam.

We have as much to fear from the tonsure as from the hauberk. Strike at the noble and the priest shrieks, strike at priest and the noble lays his hand upon glaive. They are twin thieves who live upon our labor." "It would take a clever man to live upon thy labor, Hugh," remarked one of the foresters, "seeing that the half of thy time is spent in swilling mead at the 'Pied Merlin."
