He could have wept for himself almost without shame. For forty-five years he had gone his safe way, a policeman always within call. Not once had life in the raw reached out and gripped him. Not once had he faced the stark probability of sudden, violent death. Clubs and after-theater suppers and poker and golf had offered him pleasant diversion.
She knew only Philadelphia's social register. Just to play tit for tat, twice during the evening I quoted from "Julius Caesar" and scored! We had just settled down in old Martin's Restaurant for after-theater supper when two tall gentlemen entered the room. "There's Tom Platt and Chauncey Depew," remarked Tom's friend casually.
Frugal though he could be in normal expenditures, the rental of his little but fashionably situated apartment, his new club expenses, his polo outfit, and his occasional associations with the after-theater clique, which centered at The Avon, caused the debit column to mount with astonishing facility.
The Seattle of yesterday needs no introduction to Wain's, and its counterpart can be found in any cosmopolitan, seaport city. It is a place of subtle distinction, tucked away on one of the lower hill streets, where after-theater parties and nighthawks with an eye for pretty women, an ear for sensuous music, and a taste for good food, go when they have money to spend.
Carl had planned to go to the Ritz for after-theater supper, but Ruth and Olive persuaded him to take them to the café of the Rector's of that time; for, they said, they had never been in a Broadway café, and they wanted to see the famous actors with their make-ups off. At the table Carl carried Ruth off in talk, like a young Lochinvar out of the Middle West.
The car had threaded the after-theater congestion of traffic with a swiftness that testified to the practised hand on the wheel, and was now darting through unfrequented side-streets where the asphalt lay in the shadows like dark pools. Up the approach to the Queensborough Bridge it swept, and took the long incline like a soaring bird.
The tragedy caused the temporary closing of the theaters, and the falling off in after-theater suppers may be said to have taken away the appetites of thousands of erstwhile consumers of game. Incidentally it showed who consumes purchased game. The people of Illinois should now enact a full-fledged Bayne law, without changing a single word, and bring Chicago up to the level of New York, St.
He paused, went to the window, and looked down into the street. It was after-theater time and carriages were rolling to and fro. "Bob, I apologize. You know a great deal more about feminine nature than I had given you credit for. But how can you win her this way?" He raised his shoulders. "Time and chance." "Well, whate'er betide, I can't help wishing you luck."
As they were moving out he whispered down to her, " You look lovely!" They were right where the coach-caller was swinging open a coach-door and ushering in two ladies. " You stick to me and we'll have a coach." laughed Drouet. Carrie scarcely heard, her head was so full of the swig of life. They stopped in at a restaurant for a little after-theater lunch.
Barney had a drink of the real stuff, and then another drink, in the measuring of neither of which had an eye-dropper been involved. After that, much heartened, he put two dollars upon the bar and went his way. His course took the dapper Barney into three of the gayest restaurants in the Times Square section; and in these Barney paused long enough to speak to a few after-theater supper-parties.
