all right in the morning!
Gentlemen, let's—hic—us all adjourn; let's change the see—hic—scene, call a coach—hic—somebody, let's take a ride—hic—and return and go to—hic—our pious—hic—rest."
Having delivered this order and exhortation, Don Cæsar arose on his pins, and marshalling his party, after a general swap of hats all around, in which trade big heads got smallest hats, and small heads got largest hats, by aid of the staircase and the servants, they all got to the street, and lumbering into a large hack, they started off on a midnight airing, noisy and rip-roarious as so many sailors on a land cruise. The last words uttered by Don Cæsar, there, as the coach drove off, were:
"All right—hic—mi boy, if it ain't,
we'll make it all right in the morning!
"
"Yes, that we will," says the landlord, "and if I don't stick you into a bill of costs '
in the morning
,' rot me. You'll have a nice time," he continued, "out carousing till daylight; lucky I've got his wallet in the fire-proof, the jackass would be robbed before he got back,
and I'd lose my bill!
"
Don Cæsar did not return to make good his promise
in the morning
, and so the landlord took the liberty of investigating the wallet, deposited for safe keeping in the fire-proof of the office, by the Don; and lo! and behold! it contained old checks, unreceipted bills, and a few samples of Brandon bank notes, with this emphatic remark:—"All right, if it ain't all right,
we'll make it all right in the morning
!"
We are astounded at the incredulity of some people. Every now and then you run afoul of somebody who does not believe in
Prev.
