1866. YATES, Land at Last, I., 85. Flexor was fine and BUFFY when he came home last night, after you was gone, sir.
1872. BESANT and RICE, Ready-Money Mortiboy, xlii. My ideas take me first of all unawares. They generally begin, like a toothache, when I least expect them. Perhaps when I feel a little BUFFY, in the morning; mayhap, after an extra go of grog the night before. Then one comes all of a sudden.
