“…. Edmund wouldn’t allow a little thing like the fact that he was playing Santa Claus to stand in the way of his carousing and lechery.

"...Any set in which Miss Pickford found herself would soon find itself awash in plentiful liquors and licentiousness. 'She'd down one drink and up would go her legs.
