Passage Illustrated

Mr. Lambkin suddenly feels rather poorly, something in the "whitebait dinner," having disagreed with him; probably the "water souchy," or that confounded melted butter (couldn't possibly have been the wine). His friends endeavour to relieve him with little Drops of Brandy, and large doses of Soda Water. [page 7]
