I left S here after an hour or two, and walked forth into the hot and busy city with J . . . . I called at Routledge's bookshop, in hopes to make an arrangement with him about Miss Bacon's business. But Routledge himself is making a journey in the north, and neither of the partners was there, so that I shall have to go thither some other day. Then we stepped into St.
There was a shattering explosion, a dull roar, and for an instant Aubrey thought the whole bookshop had turned into a vast spinning top. The floor rocked and sagged, shelves of books were hurled in every direction. Carrying Titania, he had just reached the steps leading to the domestic quarters when they were flung sideways into the corner behind Roger's desk. The air was full of flying books.
"There was no clue," an evening paper added to the criminal's identity.... The police were blamed, of course.... Such a thing must never be allowed to occur again. It was reported that the Queen had in no way suffered from the shock was in capital health. Outside the bookshop Stephen and Peter had parted.
He hated Royal Processions, he hated the bookshop, he hated all his friends and he wished that he were dead. Here he had been seven years, he reflected, and nothing had been done. Where was his city paved with gold? Where his Fame, where his Glory? He even found himself envying those old Treliss days. There at any rate things had happened. There had been an air, a spirit.
A carelessness of life and beauty marks the glutton, the idler, and the fool in their deadly path across history. I tell you, I've done some pretty sober thinking as I've sat here in my bookshop during the past horrible years.
Metzger, I think, was only intended to get his information out of the book, and leave it where it was. At any rate, he was puzzled, and inserted that ad in the Times the next morning that LOST ad, you remember. By that, I imagine, he intended to convey the idea that he had located the bookshop, but didn't know what to do next.
Hazlitt, the next street below the bookshop, proved to be a quiet little byway, cheerfully lit with modest dwellings. A few paces down Hazlitt Street a narrow cobbled alley ran through to Wordsworth Avenue, passing between the back yards of Gissing Street and Whittier Street.
He, Peter, had had success, love, position, comfort the Gods had poured everything into his hands and now, to his amazement as he sat there, in the little room opposite his huge fantastic friend he was almost regretting all those glorious things that had come to him and was wishing himself back in the dark little bookshop dark, but lighted with the fire of Mr. Zanti's amazing adventures.
Some months since three friends met together in an old-fashioned bookshop on the venerable Calle del Olivo a writer, a printer, and myself. "Fifteen years ago all three of us were anarchists," remarked the printer. "What are we today?" I inquired. "We are conservatives," replied the man who wrote. "What are you?" "I believe that I have the same ideas I had then."
The Milwaukee Lunch did a roaring business among the sensation seekers who came to view the ruins of the bookshop.
