“Instead of water we got here a draught of beer, a lumberer's drink, which would acclimate and naturalize a man at once,-which would make him see green, and, if he slept, dream that he heard the wind sough among the pines.”
“A man may acquire a taste for wine or brandy, and so lose his love for water, but should we not pity him.”
“I was daily intoxicated, yet no man could call me intemperate.”
