The moment, now, had arrived for a Daiquiri... It was a delicate compound... but still a revolution, and I was devoutly thankful to be sitting, at that hour in the Iglaterra, with such a drink. It elevated my contentment to an even higher pitch; and, with a detached amusement, I recalled the fact that farther north prohibition was formally in effect.
