Us four in the second cab was now highly cynical about Ben's New Yorker. The general feeling was that sooner or later he would sink the ship. Then we reach the dive he has picked out; a very dismal dive with a room back of the bar that had a few tables and a piano in it and a sweet-singing waiter.
He avoided the Colonel's appealing looks without ostentation, and selected another cheroot with more than usual care. Indeed, he was now the only man of the party who kept any command over his nerves. The bill was discharged, the Prince giving the whole change of the note to the astonished waiter; and the three drove off in a four-wheeler.
At last I withdrew very quietly; and the waiter, while demanding quite a moderate amount, requested me to come again, as they did not go on so wildly every evening. I was far from my lodgings, and it was near midnight when I reached them.
"It is valuable merchandise. Of course there was some money, and some valuable papers, but the main part of the cargo was costly merchandise. I'll tell you how it happened. But first, let us have some more chocolate," and he called to the Mexican girl waiter. When the cups had been filled Mr. Blowitz resumed his story.
Rick and Scotty "howdy'd" back. The counter clerk eyed them with interest. "Haven't seen you in here before." "First time," Rick admitted. "Nice place." "We like it. You from Scarlet Lake?" The boys stiffened. "What gave you that idea?" Scotty asked quickly. The waiter admired his fingernails. "Easy. You're not local folks and you don't look like tourists. So, you came here to work.
Greeley again asked, "Well, mother, shall I serve the lemonade?" "Yes, if you want to," she replied, so he filled the glasses, carried to each separately, and then gathered them up one at a time, instead of all together on a waiter. Both Mr. and Mrs. Greeley were thoroughly cordial and hospitable, both intellectually great, but utterly without social graces.
"Champagne!" shouted Frederic, flinging his glass at the door, an original manner of summoning a waiter, which he had invented. "Yes," he replied, "and the Marquis is resolved that the marriage shall take place in a fortnight as if I had not other fish to fry!" "But it seems to me," said Arthur, "that a union so desirable in every respect, a fortune so large "
"You didn't even shake hands with him. Why not shake hands with him?" "Because I don't shake hands with a waiter, and a waiter's a hundred times better than he is." "What a reactionist you are, really! What about the amalgamation of classes?" said Oblonsky. "Anyone who likes amalgamating is welcome to it, but it sickens me." "You're a regular reactionist, I see."
Thence in hiccuping tones were heard: 'Waiter! Waiter, put the glass in my eye, and let me see who the scoundrel was who struck me. On another evening in the club, when he had imbibed very freely, he ordered an additional glass of grog, and began to moralise aloud, addressing it after this fashion: 'Glass of grog, if I drink you now, you'll cut the legs from under me.
While we were talking, the waiter entered with a note addressed to me, which I rightly conjectured could only come from Colonel Kamworth. It ran thus "Colonel Kamworth feels highly flattered by the polite attention of Mr. Lorrequer, and will esteem it a particular favour if Mr. L. can afford him the few days his stay in this part of the country will permit, by spending them at Hydrabad Cottage.
