I'll be there presently." Then to the waiter: "Did you hear any sound from Number Six? Anything like a shot?" "No, sir." "Hm! It must have been the thunder. Now tell me this, could anyone have passed you in the corridor while you stood at the banquet-room door without your knowing it?" Joseph's round, red face spread into a grin.
The harp is in its place. The air is laden with the perfume of roses. But when the morning comes, how vast is the change! The windows are darkened and the halls deserted; the wax tapers have burned to the socket, or flicker out in smoke; the flowers, scorched by the heated air, have shriveled and fallen, and in the banquet-room only the "broken meats" remain. Gone is all the glory of the feast!
"You from the telecast station, sergeant?" he asked. "All right, in that case, let's go." As he hurried from the banquet-room, he could hear Keaveney tapping on his wine-glass. "Everybody, please! Let me have your attention! There has just come in a piece of the most tragic news...."
Of the second I recognized the architectural back, the handsomely rolled and faced blue coat and the marble volutes of his Ionic shirt-collar: it was my good friend of the cathedral. Every trace of his civic grief had disappeared, and he wore a beaming banquet-room air, though the tear of patriotism was hardly dry upon his cheek.
A vast banquet-room stretched beyond, blazing with countless lights, which filled the warm air with the scents of frankincense, of jasmine, of violets, of myrrh; all that the most odorous flowers, all that the most costly spices could distil, seemed gathered into one ineffable and ambrosial essence: from the light columns that sprang upwards to the airy roof, hung draperies of white, studded with golden stars.
Can build, can plant, can watch the starry courses COUNTESS. Yet I would have you look, and look again, Before you lay aside your arms, young friend! A gentle bride, as she is, is well worth it, That you should woo and win her with the sword. MAX. Oh, that the sword could win her! COUNTESS. What was that? Did you hear nothing? Seemed as if I heard Tumult and larum in the banquet-room.
The lamps are dead in the banquet-room of yesterday; but a thousand years hence, and the stars we look on to-night will burn as brightly. Maltravers was no longer in love with Valerie. But Valerie ah, perhaps hers had been true love!
I know little of the English, though I know them humane and honest; but my brother, Foorgat Bey, he was much among them, lived much in England, was a friend to many great English. Indeed, on the evening that he died I saw him in the gallery of the banquet-room with an English lady can one be mistaken in an English face?
Let us follow him out of the hall into the dining-room, which has a pleasant southern outlook upon the sea. The murmuring waves echo in it. It has innumerable doors, and windows reaching to the floor, and is as pleasant as the banquet-room of the Americus Club-house.
Sir Charles looked into the banquet-room; the haunch was being placed on the table. He returned with the information. Oh, how happy he was! happier than the serpent when he saw Eve's white teeth really strike into the apple! "Shall we pay respect to this haunch, Mr. Quin?" said Vane, gayly. "If you please, sir," said Quin, gravely.
