The waiter from the grill-room approached. "Excuse me, sir, but the gentleman dropped his handkerchief in his chair opposite you." "Thank you, Gordon," he said, as he faced the servant for an instant. When he turned again, toward the front hall, the Captain had passed out of view through the front door.
They drove to the Savoy Hotel and lunched together in the open air underneath the glass roof, with a bank of flowers upon one side of them and the windows of the grill-room on the other. The day was very hot, the streets baked in an arid glare of sunlight; a dry dust from the wood pavement powdered those who passed by in the Strand.
He was an eccentric, faddy, kindly, gentle creature. At the "Grill-room," actor-managers are constantly pouring out their woes. One well-known actor-manager came in full of a desperate row he had had with his leading lady because the printer in the bills of the new production had forgotten the all-important "and" before her name.
"Thumbs down, in fact," said John, nodding. "I'm with you." As he spoke, two men came down the broad staircase into the grill-room. Betty's back was towards them, but John saw them, and stared. "What are you looking at?" asked Betty. "Will you count ten before looking round?" "What is it?" "Your stepfather has just come in." "What!"
Kent was dining with Ormsby in the grill-room of the Camelot Club when the waiter brought in the evening edition of the Argus, whose railroad reporter had heard the preliminary fizzing of the bomb fuse. The story was set out on the first page, first column, with appropriate headlines. Great Excitement in Railroad Circles. Receiver Guilford's Hold-up.
"You have seen him in the 'Gaiety, in the grill-room the waiter, number two, the good-looking tall man." "Oh!" "He wasn't always a waiter; his people are very superior. He has been unfortunate." "And it was he you loved this long while?" "I never cared for another man." "I must write and tell him he is committing an act of injustice. I will make this matter right for you, Lizzie."
"Please do not think, because I am allowing you to be my companion for a short time, that you may ask me questions. How fast these taxies go!" They drew up at their destination a well-known restaurant in Regent Street. He paid the cabman and they descended a flight of stairs into the grill-room. "I hope that this place will suit you," he said. "I have not much experience of restaurants."
That same evening there might have been seen two men seated opposite to each other at a small table in the corner of the grill-room of a well-known restaurant. Throughout the beginning of the meal, they laughed and talked amiably to each other. No one took particular notice of them.
Mr Goble subjected her to a prolonged stare, seemed about to speak, changed his mind, and swung off moodily in the direction of the grill-room. He was not used to this sort of treatment. He had hardly gone, when Wally appeared. "What was he saying to you?" demanded Wally abruptly, without preliminary greeting. "He was asking me to lunch." Wally was silent for a moment.
A negro man wearing a white jacket came through the iron gate, with its immense granite posts and wrought-iron lamp-holders. "What is going on here to-night?" asked the hermit. "Well, sah," said the servitor, "dey is having de reg'lar Thursday-evenin' dance in de casino. And in de grill-room dere's a beefsteak dinner, sah."
