As for the boys who live inland, and know not of such marine feasts, my heart is full of pity for them. What wasted lives! Not to know the delights of a clambake, not to love chowder, to be ignorant of lobscouse! How happy we were, we four, sitting cross-legged in the crisp salt grass, with the invigorating seabreeze blowing gratefully through our hair!
With all the damned miracle drugs and characters orbiting the earth in crazy capsules, they still haven't figured out a way to keep a six-year-old from getting a cold. He remembered the kid waving from the window yesterday morning when he'd been ordered East to attend this clambake standing there beside Miriam, waving good-bye and barking like a sea lion. What the hell was wrong with doctors?
Everybody was charmed with the Salome dance, especially when Miss Summers drew the cover off a meat platter she'd been dancing around, and there was Arabella sitting on her hind legs, with a card tied to her neck, and the card said that at eleven there would be a clambake in the kitchen for all the guests. Just after the dance I saw Mr. von Inwald talking to Miss Patty.
I think there is going to be a bird clambake or a picnic down here!" And Dodo nearly fell out of the surrey in her excitement. "Not exactly a picnic," said the Doctor, "but what I have brought you purposely to see.
The last of August come and the "Old Home House" was going to close up on the day after Labor Day. Peter was down again, and so was Ebenezer and Belle, and there was to be high jinks to celebrate the season's wind-up. There was to be a grand excursion and clambake at Setuckit Beach and all hands was going four catboats full.

There ought to be a public meeting about this, and resolutions, and perhaps a clambake.
"Yes, papa; oh, I'm afraid I gave you many a heartache in those days. I remember I wanted very much to dress in white for the clambake, some weeks after that, but you wouldn't allow it. I was a very foolish little girl, and now I am very glad I had a wise, kind father to keep me in order."
"Will you be our guest at the monthly dinner of the Fifth Avenue Guild, and give us any preachment that is on your mind?" "The Merchandising Uplift Group of Murray Hill will meet at the Commodore for an informal lunch. It has been suggested that you contribute to the discussion on Underwriting Overhead." "The Executives Association plans a clambake and barbecue at the Barking Rock Country Club.
"You'll be a long ways off soon," I said, touching the ring under my hand. "I wish you could come with me," she said, but I shook my head. "Here is one dog that isn't going to sit under any rich man's table and howl for crumbs," I answered. "If he kicked ME, I'd bite him." At eleven o'clock we had the clambake with beer in the kitchen, and Mr. von Inwald came, after all.
