The Diary of a Nobody
·
George Grossmith Weedon Grossmith
12
While
playing
dominoes
with
Cummings
in
the
parlour,
he
said:
“By-the-by,
do
you
want
any
wine
or
spirits?
My
cousin
Merton
has
just
set
up
in
the
trade,
and
has
a
splendid
whisky,
four
years
in
bottle,
at
thirty-eight
shillings.
It
is
worth
your
while
laying
down
a
few
dozen
of
it.”
I
told
him
my
cellars,
which
were
very
small,
were
full
up.
To
my
horror,
at
that
very
moment,
Sarah
entered
the
room,
and
putting
a
bottle
of
whisky,
wrapped
in
a
dirty
piece
of
newspaper,
on
the
table
in
front
of
us,
said:
“Please,
sir,
the
grocer
says
he
ain’t
got
no
more
Kinahan,
but
you’ll
find
this
very
good
at
two-and-six,
with
twopence
returned
on
the
bottle;
and,
please,
did
you
want
any
more
sherry?
as
he
has
some
at
one-and-three,
as
dry
as
a
nut!”
