"Where?" she asked naively. The opening was too obvious. "Where do you usually go with young gentlemen who meet you down-town in the afternoons?" "Picture show," she answered frankly. "Wouldn't you just adore to see that picture at the Trianon to-day? They say it's stupendous!" "Perhaps." They walked up the street together. On the way they passed Eric Leverage.
And how could I any woman not an idiot be alive for twenty-five years without learning a thing or two? Why should any man want it?" "Because to know is to be spattered and stained," said I. "I get enough of people who know, down-town. Up-town I want a change of air. Of course, you think you know the world, but you haven't the remotest conception of what it's really like.
I was on the point of protesting, but I remembered the rules of the game and held my tongue. Finally, we started down-town by way of Fourth Avenue. Near Sixteenth Street and Union Square the cab pulled up to the curb, an intimation that my chartered voyage was over. "And now which way?" I inquired, smilingly. Mr. Mulvihill regarded me with compassionate and somewhat unflattering interest.
Act while there's time. Better go out there and see him now at once." "I'll think about it," Worth nodded. "You dig for me what you can and never quit." And he applied himself to the demands of the down-town traffic. "Well," Cummings said, "drop me at the next corner, please. I've got an engagement with a man here." Worth swung in and stopped. Cummings left us.
The next morning they drove down-town and did some shopping, and called on Annette, who made them stay to luncheon. Mrs. Beekman was quite poorly now, and had grown very, very stout. She said, "she had lost all her ambition. It was a great thing to be young, and have all your life before you."
Men do not doff their hats in the down-town elevators which brought her up to the big office where she was employed, a great room near the top of one of the high down-town buildings; the windows looked out on the river, now a white mass of down-flowing ice, through which the calling steamers worked their way laboriously towards the harbour, to the Statue of Liberty standing beside what now looked a white gravel path of entry to the city.
Nisbet, who boarded with us on Harrison Street, had been delayed at the bank later than usual, so that he happened to be near at the time, and, when he came out to dinner, he brought me the news of this affair, and said that there was every appearance of a riot down-town that night. This occurred toward the evening of May 14, 1856.
He took his place beside Dora, who started the car and headed down-town. After Paul's departure Eva hurried to her father's room and tried to comfort him. He was seated in a chair, staring blankly ahead of him. He was quieter now, but his body twitched nervously from time to time.
"Oh, Nita," cried Polly Eastman, who had just come in, rushing breathlessly up to the distracted chairman, "I'm so sorry to be late, but some people that I couldn't refuse asked me down-town to dinner. I ate and ran, really I did. And Nita, what do you think " "I'm much too tired to think," returned Nita, wearily. "What's happened now?"
Without the call of drum or bugle his sinister soldiers of fortune would leap into positions assigned them; in orderly, determined company front, led by chosen officers, they would sweep the square, the Circus and the avenues, up-town to the Castle, down-town to the fortress and the railway station, everywhere establishing the pennant of the man who had been banished.
