There is a snake,
he will awake and he will get you off the floor.
You'll start to shake,
your friends will sweat You are high you will forget.
Darcy was having palpitations, but everyone else was too drunk to notice. It wasn't very unusual for it to happen either.
Darcy was a regular at The Toad and Toadstool, often getting very drunk. For someone who was managing one of the largest estates in Derbyshire, this was hardly good conduct, but as Mr. Beddoes was given to understand , the young lad had been through some troubling times, so he got 'im his ale and lager every night. Not that he was complaining about it. The man drank like a camel, and he had always considered that a good thing.
Oh dear. He was still screaming. Really, if this didn't happen to be his business, he'd see to it that these young people drank a little less. Now the boy's gone and passed out on the floor. Who's going to go clean up after him then? Throwing the washcloth over his shoulder, he went to pick the boy up. Crkin horse-nibbles! Was he a tall 'un!
Paying no heed to the mutterings of 'snake' and 'not her' , he managed to ask a few of Darcy's sober friends to carry him home. Good old Bingley, always there at hand, though a little gone himself.
Perhaps tomorrow he would ask young Charles to take better care of his friend. After buying Ruby those new shoes.
