"I said everything yes," he replied. "But if you would like to know " "Perhaps I had better tell you something first. I had just parted with him it couldn't have been more than half an hour in front of Brentano's; he must have gone straight to his death.
We can stop at Brentano's for our tickets as we pass through Union Square." "I am not going to the theatre, Basil. I am going home to Boston to-night. You can stay and find a flat."
Sitting thus before the picture he could not reproduce, there rose before his mind another picture he had seen that day. It was a large photograph of the Laocoon. He had seen it in Brentano's window, and, now, with the eye of memory, he was looking at it again.
As he could never pluck up courage to eject his customers while enjoying succulent repasts, he decided to shut up his place altogether. The suggestion made by an Irishman, Mr. Sullivan of Reuter's Agency, to employ a London "chucker-out" did not at all appeal to his notions of the traditions of Parisian gastronomic hospitality. I met to-day another British officer buying books at Brentano's.
Who has spoiled them by flattery, until they are little peacocks to whom a mirror is an irresistible temptation? Why do unthinking parents supply them with money, and never ask how they spend it? How does it come that if you want to find great numbers of them together you go to Huyler's instead of to Brentano's?
When the flood subsided all the books were gone, but the next day as he was looking over the wreckage of neighbouring houses he found his Henley washed up on a doorstep covered with slime and filth but still intact. He sent it to Brentano's in New York to be rebound in vellum, instructing them not to clean it in any way.
Aubrey Gilbert, who is certainly the hero of this film!" They drank the toast with cheers, and Aubrey blushed becomingly. "Oh, I forgot something!" cried Titania. "When I went shopping this afternoon I stopped in at Brentano's, and was lucky enough to find just what I wanted. It's for Mr. She ran to the sideboard and brought back a parcel. Aubrey opened it with delighted agitation.
We have no fresh fruit, but even evaporated peaches can be stewed so that they're appetizing. And as I had the good sense to bring out with me no less than three cook-books, from Brentano's, I am able to attempt more and more elaborate dishes. Olie has a wire-fenced square where he grew beets and carrots and onions and turnips, and the biggest potatoes I ever saw.
In the second group, there was a decentralizing, catholicizing tendency, and, above all, a greater individual creative ability. It was not merely the chance difference of external fortunes that kept them apart, though they never held together after the death of Brentano's wife in 1806, but that each projected his individuality into his literary work rather than into a common polemic ideal.
Stedman, in later years, told of being startled by a huge signboard in front of the then young Brentano's, opposite the New York Hotel, at the corner of Broadway and Waverly Place, reading: "Read Stedman's great poem on the Diamond Wedding in this evening's 'Express'!" The father of the bride, infuriated by the unpleasant publicity, challenged the poet to a duel, which never took place.
