Spanish chalked adj. Drunk past the point of colour, leaving the morning pale, powdery, and best handled without friction. Limayri woke Spanish chalked, pale at the breakfast table and reluctant to be stirred. Spanish cherried adj. Drunk beyond the morning's capacity for sweetness, retaining only a polished surface and a hard central pit. Rebeccaann was Spanish cherried, bright enough to greet visitors but impossible to get sensibly through breakfast. Spanish chestnutted adj. Drunk in a way that leaves you brown, edible-looking, and followed by a small white tail of explanation. Tymir appeared Spanish chestnutted, clutching toast and trailing a fluffy account of the taxi ride. Spanish coated adj. Drunk, with the result that the morning finds you enclosed, chastened, and dressed for public inspection. Christylee arrived Spanish coated, buttoned into silence and unwilling to explain the previous evening. Spanish cressed adj. Drunk to a degree that makes every ordinary remark peppery, green, and unnecessarily keen. Mckenzye was Spanish cressed, seasoning the breakfast conversation with sharp observations nobody had requested. Spanish cubited adj. Drunk to the extent of measuring the morning by the short distance between bed, water, and basin. Mustafah remained Spanish cubited, judging the kitchen by the few painful steps it required. Spanish daggered adj. Drunk on the strength of a night that has left you upright, spiked, and difficult to approach before noon. Howland stood Spanish daggered by the sink, tall and sharp enough to discourage conversation. Spanish dancered adj. Drunk since last orders, and still moving in broad, rippling gestures wholly unsuited to a narrow kitchen. Galinda was Spanish dancered at breakfast, swaying magnificently whenever the toast required attention. Spanish donkeyed adj. Drunk by the third round, and now sitting on the narrowest available surface with the morning attached to your feet. Marteka was Spanish donkeyed on the hall bench, unable to move without involving both legs and several witnesses. Spanish elmed adj. Drunk by closing time, and still rooted in the doorway by morning, with tropical confidence and no useful plan. Kymarie remained Spanish elmed beside the front door, rooted there long after the taxi had gone. Spanish fevered adj. Drunk, with the result that the walk home acquires a temperature and an unnecessary sense of adventure. Kesser was Spanish fevered by closing time and insisted the cold air was medicinal. Spanish firred adj. Still drunk, and standing in a cold, symmetrical silence that suggests the room has become a mountain. Launa was Spanish firred at dawn, upright beside the bed and unresponsive to ordinary weather. Spanish flagged adj. Too drunk to distinguish a national emblem from a request for assistance, or to fold either properly. Harolyn was Spanish flagged by breakfast, waving a tea towel whenever anyone entered the room. Spanish flied adj. Having drunk enough to regard the morning as an aphrodisiac, despite its plainly vesicant effects. Makiya was Spanish flied, making extravagant advances towards the kettle and regretting them immediately. Spanish flued adj. Drunk to the extent of spreading one ill-advised idea through every conversation in reach. Cruzita went Spanish flued and persuaded four strangers that dawn was the proper time for tennis. Spanish fowled adj. Having drunk more than the household can reasonably accommodate, and now clucking through a particular breed of hangover. Lalia was Spanish fowled, pecking at toast and objecting to the brightness of every surface.
