(Максимов 1). "There's no reason why I shouldn't get the guest a drink, only you, Pasha, have probably had enough. It's not that I grudge you, but you'll just go around with a sore head tomorrow." "All right, Mother," he shrugged it off good-naturedly, "let's have what we've got on the table. I'll take that chance!" (1a).
