He drank quite a little, but it only seemed to heighten his good spirits, without Fuddling him to any extent.
"The Crevice"
William John Burns and Isabel Ostrander
He was Fuddling himself from his own bottle on Sunday afternoon when the mail came; the first I knew of it was when I saw him sitting with his letter in one hand and throwing out the rest of his grog with the other.
"Stingaree"
E. W. (Ernest William) Hornung
So home, and to dinner, and so to my office, where we sat anon, and among other things had Cooper's business tried against Captain Holmes, but I find Cooper a Fuddling, troublesome fellow, though a good artist, and so am contented to have him turned out of his place, nor did I see reason to say one word against it, though I know what they did against him was with great envy and pride.
