Captain, will you join us ?" asked Yancy.

Murrell shook his head, but he made a significant gesture to Slosson as Yancy drained his glass.
"Have a drink with me!" cried Slosson, giving way to drunken laughter.
"Don't you reckon you'll spite yo' appetite fo' breakfast, neighbor ?" suggested Yancy.
"Do you mean you won't drink with me ?" roared Slosson.
"The captain's dropped out and I 'low it's about time fo' these here festivities to come to an end.

I'm thinking some of going to bed myself," said Yancy.

He kept his eyes fixed on Murrell.
