But as for being a person who does not know where his ancestors lived, I reply, as did Bonhomet when he reached heaven and the Lord said to him: 'Still a chimney-doctor, Bonhomet? 'And you, Lord?. For you were born in Bourgogne, Monsieur de Montfanon, of an ancient family, related to all the nobility-upon which I congratulate you and you have lived here in Rome for almost twenty-four years, in the Cosmopolis which you revile."
He felt that he must see more of her. "I say," he said. "When this binge is over . . . when the rehearsal finishes, you know, how about a bite to eat?" "I should love it. I generally go to the Automat." "The how-much? Never heard of it." "In Times Square. It's cheap, you know." "I was thinking of the Cosmopolis." "But that's so expensive." "Oh, I don't know.
It seems almost bizarre now to think that there was a time when even one person in the world had not heard "Mother's Knee"; but it came fresh to Archie one afternoon some weeks after the episode of Washy, in his suite at the Hotel Cosmopolis, where he was cementing with cigarettes and pleasant conversation his renewed friendship with Wilson Hymack, whom he had first met in the neighbourhood of Armentieres during the war.
There are, no doubt, restaurants where this sort of thing would have excited little comment, but the Cosmopolis was not one of them. Everybody had something to say, but the only one among those present who had anything sensible to say was the child in the sailor suit. "Do it again!" said the child, cordially. The Sausage Chappie did it again.
The hold was about half filled, and the ship carpenters were at work cutting ports in the Retriever's bows, when Matt Peasley discovered that the mill did not have in hand any order for lumber to be used as stowage to snug up the cumbersome cargo below decks and keep it from rolling and working in a seaway. Accordingly he wired his owners as follows: Cosmopolis, Washington, July 7, 19 .
All his priests, officials, and generals are regular blackguards. No one was so down on the old legal and military set as he. By the way, I have read also Bourget's "Cosmopolis."
"I guess they'll know how to make a good thing of the Peace too." "Oh, that's going to be the best yet.... Come along. Let's be little devils and take a taxi." "This certainly is the main street of Cosmopolis."
Bourget's Cosmopolis is a picture of the influence of social race characteristics on natural heredity, with the reaction of natural heredity again upon the new social conditions. A speech of a character of Balzac's is to the point, as illustrating a certain appreciation of these social considerations which we all to a degree entertain.
The image returned to him, by way of contrast, of Dorsenne, alert and foppish, the dandy of literature, so gayly a scoffer and a sophist, to whom antique and venerable Rome was only a city of pleasure, a cosmopolis more paradoxical than Florence, Nice, Biarritz, St. Moritz, than such and such other cities of international winter and summer.
