Famous quotes containing the words whisky and/or irish:
“The whisky on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death;
Such waltzing was not easy.”

Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”
