"Hats full of Money"

The Eagle Tavern boys have a bad case of cabin fever. To warm things up they mix up a brew of new clothes, some erudite Latin phraseology, steam boating, the rosy cheeked beauty Miss Marguerite and top it off with the answer to the age-old question: can pigs fly. The result is a beverage even a liberal serving of the "ardent" can't surpass.
