And the bride Dash it, I wish I could remember what the bride was doing!" "Probably writing you a note to say that she's changed her mind, and it's all off." "Oh, my God!" exclaimed Reggie. "Come on!" Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Byng, seated at a table in the corner of the Regent Grill-Room, gazed fondly into each other's eyes.
I might add that the latter greatly distinguished himself in the air during the war. The "Grill-room" is quite a unique club. It consists of one room only, a lofty, white-panelled hall, with an open timber roof.
They are not to blame. In conclusion, let me tell of a great German sports-man, Major von Wissman, Governor of German East Africa, now no more, who came to see me at the Museum nine years ago. It was his first visit to London, and I took him to lunch at a famous grill-room. Happily, though roasting is dying out, the art of grilling still survives in this country, but nowhere else in Europe.
Sometimes, lunching in his favorite corner in the Cosmopolis grill-room, he would lean across the table and beg some other manager to take it from him that the time was ripe for a revival of comic opera or more cautiously, that pretty soon the time was going to be ripe for a revival of comic opera.
Coming in for supper to the "Grill-room" after his performance, he would order and counter-order for ten minutes, absolutely unable to come to a decision. He invariably ended by seizing a pencil, closing his eyes tightly, and whirling his pencil round and round over the supper-list until he brought it down at haphazard somewhere.

Amongst the members of the "Grill-room Club" was an elderly bachelor, whom I will call Mr. Smith. "Mr. Smith," who has now been dead for some years, was wholly undistinguished in every way. He ate largely, and spoke little, but Tree had discovered that under his placid exterior he concealed a vein of limitless vanity. One evening "Mr.
At the museum they alighted, and passed through the courts into the grill-room, where they sat down together at a vacant table, and ordered luncheon. "You were good enough to ask my advice about something," said Douglas. "What is the matter?" "Well," said Marmaduke, "I am in a fix. Affairs have become so uncomfortable at home that I have had to take up my quarters elsewhere."
They cornered Roland one day near Swan and Edgar's, steered him into the Piccadilly Grill-room and, over a hearty lunch, read him extracts from a brown-paper-covered manuscript which, they informed him, was the first act. It looked a battered sort of manuscript and, indeed, it had every right to be.
