A few minutes later a waiter placed a complete tea service In front of them, but the teapot did not contain tea. Tex poured out the drink, splitting it carefully three ways, in teacups. "Here's to you, chums-drink up."
Matt took a sip. "It tastes like medicine," he announced.
"Like medicine?" Tex protested. "This noble potion? I'll meet you at dawn, -coffee and pistols for two."
"I still say it tastes like medicine. What do you think of It, Oscar?"
"It's not bad."
Matt pushed his aside. "Aren't you going to drink it?" asked Tex.
"No. Thanks, Tex, really-but I think it would make me sick. I guess I'm a sissy."
"Well, we won't waste it." He picked up Mart's cup and poured some into his own. "Split it with me, Oscar?"
"No. You go ahead."
"Okay, if you say so." He poured the rest into his cup.
