Excerpt: ...drank off the glassful at one draft. "And now for another," said Stout, promptly filling it up again. Rex had never signed the pledge, but he knew that his mother did not want him to touch liquor. And it had been no deprivation for him to refrain, as he did not like it. What he had just drunk burnt his throat like fire. It seemed as if he could not possibly swallow any more. His misery showed itself in his face. Atkins, who was standing just opposite on the other side of the table on which the punch bowl had been placed, saw it. "I say, Pell," he called out softly, "come here a minute."
