slaking thirst

drinking from a skull, supposedly a Viking custom
cf Hamlet's Yorick, LeFanu's prologue

taking

nuncheon: light refreshment of liquor


Meseemeth a dragonsman.

he seems to me to be?
'Me' = narrator?

FW1: "dragon man"
Penguin typo: "man He"

dragoman: interpreter, in Arabic-, Persian- and Turkish-speaking countries
so, 'I need an interpreter (constable Sackerson)'?


He is almonthst on the kief fief by here,

"He" = the interpreter?

phrase on the qui vive: on the look-out

kief (Afrikaans) = great (also ganja)
Keith? Kiev? chief?

fief: an estate in land (Vico discusses fiefs in Roman history)


is Comestipple Sacksun,

constable
comestible: article of food
slang tipple: strong liquor

so "nuncheon" = alcoholic tipple, here?

Sackerson (Elizabethan bear)
Saxon
obsolete sack: a type of Spanish wine

(which is more Wakean: we already know the caveman's name, and he's a policeman, or a 3rd party translator is involved?)


be it junipery or febrewery, marracks or alebrill

no matter the month, he's drinking

gin contains juniper
juniper-y
juniper berry
January (months)

February
brewery

arrack: Eastern liquor
March
barracks?

ale
April
Italian brillo: drunk, tipsy


or the ramping riots of pouriose and froriose.
