"As we Virginians are the oldest people in the colonies, it's the right of Stuart and myself to be the hosts," said Cabell. "Aye, so 'tis," said Stuart. "As we're from Philadelphia, the greatest and finest city in the country, it's the right of Wilton, Carson and myself," said Colden. But Grosvenor was firm. He had given the invitation first, he said, and nobody could take the privilege from him.
If I could only hang that restaurant man and the others like him in a rope of his own hempen griddle cakes! The Great American Frying Pan! I don't expect men building a new town to have time to read Hugh Walpole and James Branch Cabell, but I do expect them to afford a cook who can fry eggs!"
"We must drop him he ain't a gent'man," she said of one. Of another: "Oh! Oh! honey, he won't do. He ain't our kind." Or, "Betty, let him go, my Lamb. De Frenches don't pick up dat kine o' stick."

"Yes, certainly, and peremptorily if you wish, though you are not under my command," answered Colonel Cabell.
Cabell will place the Hyderabad papers before my successor, with my letter to Astell, and his reply. Called on Hardinge, who was not at home. I can only leave a memorandum in the office showing the nature and extent of the military alterations I projected. Called on the Duke. He told me Peel came to him in a very nervous state on Monday night. Arbuthnot and Goulburn were with him.
Cabell has lately fretted over the unblushing anachronisms and confused geography of this parti-colored world. For less dull-witted scholars these are the very cream of the Cabellian jest. The cream but not the substance, for Mr. Cabell has a profound creed of comedy rooted in that romance which is his regular habit.
