Beer

It is getting late here so this will not be a long post. In Literary Writing in the 1930s, I quoted two passages that were remarkably similar to many that we have admired in Poul Anderson's works. Now here is an easy quiz question. Which passage in a Poul Anderson novel does the following quotation resemble?

"'And what about drinks?'
"Her husband stared.
"'Well, what's the beer done?' he said.
"'The beer hasn't come,' said Adele.
"'Not come?' screamed Berry. 'Not come? Oh, don't be blasphemous.'"
