the base of a decanter; between his teeth, and well jammed down
his
throat, was the long neck of the bottle. From it issued the sound
of gentle gurgling. Herrick seized the decanter and hurled it
crashing upon the terrace. With difficulty Ikey rose. Swaying and
shaking his head reproachfully, he gave Herrick a perfectly
accurate imitation of an intoxicated bear.
