That he is an extraordinary writer of small poetry, and a diner out of the highest lustre, I do most readily admit. After George Selwyn, and perhaps Tickell, there has been no such man for this half-century.
Brant was a superb cook, and both she and Hartson Brant had taught the Spindrift young people to appreciate a well-prepared dish. "I'll order the same thing just to keep them company," Scotty offered. "Generous, always generous," Rick replied. "You'll eat the same thing even if you have to force it down." "I'll do just that," Scotty agreed. "Remember where you've seen yonder diner?"
The cardinal smiled, and with a stolen glance at the small box that contained the portrait of this beautiful nun, he said: "Spare some of the walks in the alleys from your sea of light, and leave them in partial obscurity. A little duskiness is sometimes necessary for joy and happiness! But how is it with your carte du diner? What has Signor Gianettino to offer us?
"God bless me," cried Guloseton, with an air of vexation, "here comes the Duke of Stilton, a horrid person, who told me the other day, at my petit diner, when I apologized to him for some strange error of my artiste's, by which common vinegar had been substituted for Chili who told me what think you he told me?
John, recollected having seen this solitary diner looking in their direction once or twice during dinner, but the fact had not impressed him. "What's the matter?" he asked. "The man at that table sent over to ask if my name was Smith. It was. He is now coming along to chat in person. I wonder why. I don't know him from Adam."

When they went into the diner for supper and the waiter referred to Mary as John's wife, she did not blush, but touched his arm and looked at him with a smile of confidence and love. As he returned the glance a close observer would have said; "They are newly married." The next morning Mrs. Cornwall received a telegram: "Have followed your advice. Married Mary last night.

The vegetables are out of cans, except the potatoes and cabbage, and the fruits are either dried or canned. Preserves and jellies are factory made, so it gets pretty monotonous. I had a good breakfast on the diner yesterday morning.
The excitement had made Monsieur Dubois' collar quite give way, and he looked a dirtier and more pitiable object than usual. Such an affair the "Dîner des fiançailles!"

Each diner donned his headgear and the comical appearance of the wearers drew forth many pleasantries and much laughter. The Captain, with a huge paper sun-bonnet on his head, rose to make a few remarks. "Silence! listen to what our old mother has to say!" cried a humorist. Amid laughter the captain began, but the laughter quickly ceased and his words were listened to with attention.
