Bradfort lived in one of these respectable abodes, and thither Mr. Hardinge led the way, with just as much confidence as one would now walk into Bleeker street, or the Fifth Avenue. Money-changers were then unknown, or, if known, were of so little account that they had not sufficient force to form a colony and a league by themselves.
If they make me Vice-president with Seward, as some say they will, I hope I shall be able to increase it to twenty thousand; and that is as much as any man ought to want. We visited a photographic establishment upon the corner of Broadway and Bleeker streets, where he sat for his picture, the first taken in New York. At the gallery he met and was introduced to Hon.
Bleeker, after fidgeting a moment in the drawing-room, decided that they would return for a word or two with Angela. "It is really the only place in the house where one can escape Percival's music," declared Mrs.
Robert Bleeker. More than twenty years ago, as the youngest of the pretty Wilde sisters, she had, in the romantic fervour of her youth and in spite of the opposition of her parents, made a love match with a handsome, impecunious young dabbler in "stocks."
Thus, in order to give another example of very recent date, a celebrated Ichthyologist, Bleeker, has lately distinguished two groups of the Cyprinodontes as follows: some, the Cyprinodontini, have a "pinna analis non elongata," and the others, the Aplocheilini, a "pinna analis elongata": according to this the female of a little fish which is very abundant here would belong to the first, and the male to the second group.
The voice was Bleeker McVeigh's. "Where are the wedding garments? Don't mean you're not going!" "Going where?" Van Landing fell into step. "Whose wedding?" McVeigh lighted a fresh cigarette. "You ought to be hung. I tell you now you won't be bidden to my wedding. Why did you tell Jockie you'd come, if you didn't intend to?" Van Landing stopped and for a minute stared at the man beside him.
"You mean you would do nothing in the matter?" "I should 'let the dead past bury its dead, as Longfellow says." Bleeker was always quoting Longfellow. "But it isn't the dead past, it's the living present that has attended to the business; and he has sent in his account with all the items.
"You've been watching by my death-bed for forty years." "Oh, dear sister," pleaded Mrs. Bleeker, whose heart, was as soft as her bosom. "It does sound as if you thought we really wanted your things," commented Mrs. Payne, opening and shutting her painted fan.
Bleeker, with an untouched glass of sherry at his elbow and an unlighted cigar in his hand, sank back into the placid after-dinner reverie which is found in the rare cases when old age has encountered a faultless digestion.
Van Bleeker isn't really musical, it is a delight to work with her, she is so very charming and so business-like. Strange as it may seem, I actually take pleasure in our committee meetings, Mr. Dane." "I haven't the slightest doubt of it," Bobby responded, with unctuous emphasis. "When is the concert to be, Mrs. Avalons?"
