"Pretty well," said Todd.
"Pretty well? It's glorious!"
Mr. Peter raised the glass to his lips, and giving a nod to Todd over the rim of it, he said—
"I looks towards you."
Todd nodded, and then, in another moment Peter put down his empty glass.
"Out and out!" he gasped. "Out and out! Ah, that is the stuff."
Todd tossed off the glass, with the toast of "A long life, and a merry one!" which was duly acknowledged by Peter, who replied—
"The same to you, Mr. T., and lots of 'em."
"It's like milk," said Todd, as he filled Peter's glass again. "It's for all the world like milk, and never can do any one any harm."
"No—no. Enough. There—stop."
