They wouldn't any more think of eating anything at a dinner after the caviar and oysters than you'd think of flying. It's a waste of time and money to give 'em real food. This is the second time I've tried my scheme and it's worked both times. I can serve this same dinner twenty times. Everything's made of wax and papier mache. See what I mean?
House on fire?" exclaimed Logan, pausing in the act of handing a dish of iced caviar to his guest. "We're not from the fire department," said the elder and smarter looking of the pair, civilly, yet with a certain grimness. "I guess you know that well enough. We've been sent here on a hurry call on your 'phone to the police a girl supposed to be detained in the house against her will."
The waiters knew that he did not know much and had merely picked up a smattering of dining-room lore, but they humored his affectations. And of all affectations, what is more futile than the printing of American bills of fare in French? "Would you prefer the Astrakhan caviar?" he began on Kedzie, "or some or-durv? The caviar here is fairly trustworthy."
"I stopped at Worlig's on the way back," said Mrs. Adams, flushed with hurry and excitement. "I bought a can of caviar there. I thought we'd have little sandwiches brought into the 'living-room' before dinner, the way you said they did when you went to that dinner at the " "But I think that was to go with cocktails, mama, and of course we haven't " "No," Mrs. Adams said.
Dallas was something in the Fish Commission, and I remember his reeling off fish eggs in billions while we ate our caviar. He had some particular stunt he had been urging the government to for years something about forbidding the establishment of mills and factories on river-banks it seems they kill the fish, either the smoke, or the noise, or something they pour into the water. Mrs.
Mr. Smith was eating blennes au caviar apparently with enjoyment. He called a waiter and told him to put more whipped cream on the caviare as yet untouched in the middle of Annesley's pancake. "That's better, I think," he said, genially. And as the waiter went away, "What are they doing now?" Annesley lifted her champagne glass as an excuse to raise her eyes.
But in the arts, which exist for our pleasure, why, I might as well fall foul of you because you do not like caviar and are more partial to brunettes than to blondes. My taste is all the other way I dote upon caviar; golden-haired women are to me just a little more attractive than the angels. But, of course, that does not speak for their tempers."
The women wore boots too and all the men who were not soldiers had their hair cropped short like mops. We could not find any one who understood any language, so as we never knew when we would stop for food, we ate at every station and I am of the opinion that for months I have been living on hot tea and caviar and hash sandwiches.
It may amuse my readers and serve, perhaps, as a little object lesson to those at home who imagine that quantity and not quality is of importance. At first, hors d'oeuvres were served, all sorts of tempting little things, very thin slices of ham, spiced sausages, olives and caviar, and eaten not merely passed and refused. Then came the one hot dish of the meal. "One!"
In addition there are the two piano sonatas in G, and D minor, opus 31, and three sonatas for violin and piano, opus 30, the latter dedicated to the Emperor of Russia. They form a striking example of Beethoven's originality and the force of his genius, and must have been caviar to his public.
