I'm very much obliged to you, old fellow, for talking it over with me. I suppose you dont want to meet her." "I should be in the way at present." "Then good-bye." Marmaduke, leaving Douglas in the grill-room, went upstairs to the picture galleries, where several students were more or less busy at their easels.
"I can tell you where it was. At least, I believe I know." "Where?" "In the grill-room of the Carlton. About a fortnight to three weeks ago, at lunch." "Oh!" he weighed the suggestion for a moment. "You may be right. I daresay." Resolved not to mention that other encounter when he had been with Lady Clifford, Esther grew bolder.
Mr Rooke, who appears quite simple and unspoiled by success, replied to our representative's enquiry as to his future plans that he proposed to stagger into the grill-room and imbibe about eighteen dollars' worth of lunch. Yes, it is a bit of all right, taking it by and large, isn't it?
They routed him, easily at first, with increasing difficulty as he learned the new trade, but always with certainty. It was Norman, the correspondence man, transformed now into a sales agent, who gave him his first hint of the inwardnesses. "We're too straight, Mr. Gordon; that's at the bottom of it," he said to Tom, over a grill-room luncheon at the Marlboro one day.
He unhooked the receiver, and asked despondently to be connected with Room Service. He thought bitterly of the exigent Jane, whom he recollected dimly as a tall female with teeth. He half thought of going down to the grill-room on the chance of finding a friend there, but the waiter was on his way to the room. He decided that he might as well stay where he was.
He lunched in a big public grill-room, and chatted with a naval officer at his table who was engaged in mine-sweeping with a steam-tramp. The latter was not vastly enthusiastic over things, but was chiefly depressed because he had to report at a naval base that night, and his short London leave was all but run out.
She looked around and nodded. "Yes," she replied, "I think that it will do." She was very shabbily dressed, and he, although his appearance was by no means ordinary, was certainly not of the type which inspires immediate respect in even the grill-room of a fashionable restaurant. Nevertheless, they received prompt and almost officious service.
He reined his pony in, and sat staring with a frown at the red-tiled roof of the station building. "I promised Harry to say nothing," he said; and drawing some makeshift of comfort from the words, repeated them, "I promised faithfully in the Criterion grill-room." The whistle of an engine a long way off sounded clear and shrill. It roused Lieutenant Sutch from his gloomy meditations.
"I remember the last time I was in the big town, seeing a crowd of men in the grill-room of the Hoffman House. One of them long, lean, like an eel stooped down and whispered in the ear of a little fellow with a diamond horseshoe desecrating his haberdashery, and pointing to another man near by. 'No, I won't, says the man with the diamonds, 'I don't introduce nobody to nobody.
His good-natured face wore an unwonted scowl. "He went in there, of course?" he said, pointing to the grill-room. "Yes." "Then let's go into the other room," said Wally. He regained his good-humor. "It was awfully good of you to come. I didn't know whether you would be able to." "It was very nice of you to invite me." Wally grinned. "How perfect our manners are! It's a treat to listen!
