Abstract:

While at a meeting between the governors of North and South Carolina, when the drinks of the two were not refilled fast enough, Governor Dudley was reported saying “it is a long time between drinks”. Later Governor Morehead used this line as a callback when negotiating an extradition with Governor Hammond of SC.
