I'm having a little architect make me plans for a conservatory. You know I've always been dying for one I don't see how I've lived all these years without it." Honora, after her friend had gone, sat down in one of the wicker chairs on the porch.
The utter ignorance of what a house means, of the steps necessary to make a successful livable place, is appalling. The young man who has $3000 as a legacy feels he can build. His wife chooses the location near her friends whose houses she likes, and the architect is called in. Do you wish back stairs? Are you to keep three servants or none? Do you wish the rooms separate or connecting?
"I thank you for the caution. To-day at any rate you are safe from my verse, for I am tired to death." "Did you venture into the streets?" "It was quite safe, for I had a trustworthy escort." "May I be allowed to ask who?" "Why not? It was Pontius the architect who was with me." "He knows the town well." "And in his care I would trust myself to descend, like Orpheus, into Hades." "Happy Pontius!"
She greeted Beatrix effusively, and cast a coy glance at Lorimer while she murmured a few words of congratulation. Then she fell a victim to one of Bobby's quibbles, and while she was struggling to see the point of his joke, the others made their escape. "At least, the architect knew what he was about," Lorimer remarked to Beatrix, as they took their seats.
"Father," the girl began again after a short silence, "I ought not to go on about it, but even if it vexes you, I must the architect, who is settling all the work out there, has sent for you twice already." "Be silent!" shouted the fat man, striking his hand on the table. "Who is this Pontius, and who am I!"
Above all things, Josephine, in her retreat, devoted her time and leisure hours to botany and to her dear flowers. Alexander Lenoir, the famous architect of that day, had to assist her in enlarging the little castle of Malinaison, and to open more suitable halls for the arts and sciences.
He was the oldest, and, as he asserted, it was but right he should run the risk in testing the new-fashioned bridge, of which he was the architect. It worked admirably, and sustained the weight of his body, with the whole force of the current acting upon it.
As in the days when he first went with Summerfield, he worked of nights on exterior and interior layouts, as he called them façades, ground arrangements, island improvements, and so on. He went frequently with Winfield and his architect in his auto to see how Blue Sea was getting on and to visit monied men, who might be interested.
Wilbur Jennings, prominent architect, has defied the world and departed for a Love Bungalow in Minnesota with another man's wife. A picture of Wilbur in flowing bow tie and set jaws defying the world. Also of his inamorata in a ball gown, eyes lowered to a rose drooping from her hand. Various wives and chubby-faced children, and the inamorata's Siberian hound, "Jasper." What he said.
This mode of enlargement will leave the present Capitol uninjured and afford great advantages for ventilation and the admission of light, and will enable the work to progress without interrupting the deliberations of Congress. To carry this plan into effect I have appointed an experienced and competent architect.
