His breakfast appetizer was four or five coffee royals-a couple of slugs of bourbon sweetened with a dash of coffee-and his hobby was seven-deck "pan ginney" dealt out at the Pastime Cafe.

Pop rechristens the tax man "Charlie," and plies him with a Rolls-Royce ("half vermouth, quarter whisky, quarter gin, dash of orange bitters") followed by a Chauffeur ("one-third vermouth, one-third whisky, one-third gin, dash of Angostura").
