"Is it what I told you?" "Yes substantially." He dried his damp face; "it comes rather late, you know." "Not too late," said the other, mistaking him; "your wife is still ready to meet you half-way, Jack." "Oh that? I meant the Algonquin matter " He checked himself, seeing for the first time in his life contempt distorting Grandcourt's heavy face. "Man!
It is not so soft and sonorous as the Algonquin which abounds in labials, but more so than the Winnebago, which is the most harsh and guttural language in America. The Narcotah sounds to an English ear, like the Chinese, and both in this, and in other respects, the Sioux are thought to present many points of coincidence.
Its abrupt enunciation has not to the ear the sound of an Indian word, and it could scarcely have come from the Algonquin language, which is singularly soft and sweet, and may be considered the Italian of North American dialects.

We're all journeying to it together, anyway. And as for my business somebody else'll turn up. I always felt Algonquin would be too small for Rod. You'll see he'll make a name for himself that'll make us all proud." He did it splendidly, and Angus was comforted. He blamed himself for what he termed his lack of faith in the boy and in his Father.
Of course there was the other class who said Algonquin would be too dull to live in were it not for the winter attractions of the opera house which gave it such a bad name. In fact every one who had any pretensions towards knowing what was the correct thing in city life, went regularly to the plays, and declared they were just as high class as you would see in Toronto.
None of the public buildings was destroyed. Among these buildings were the Dayton Club, Victoria, National and Colonial theatres, city hall, court house, Beckel, Phillips, Algonquin and Atlas hotels, Masonic temple, post office, Y. M. C. A. and various churches.
