But that night when I went out to the shelter-house with the supper basket I found both the honeymooners in a wild state of excitement. They said that about five o'clock Thoburn had gone out to the shelter-house and walked all around it. Finally he had stopped at one of the windows of the other room, had worked at it with his penknife and got it open, and crawled through.
Do you know what three divisions of people are easiest to over-reach in transactions of all kinds?" "Sure," said the waiter, calculating the size of the tip promised by the careful knot of Morley's tie; "there's the buyers from the dry goods stores in the South during August, and honeymooners from Staten Island, and" "Wrong!" said Morley, chuckling happily.
D'Annunzio, in one of his famous addresses in May, 1915, put this feeling into words: "We will no longer be a museum of antiquities, a kind of hostelry, a pleasure resort, under a sky painted over with Prussian blue, for the benefit of international honeymooners."
Miss Cookson moved away from the window. How late they were! She would hardly get home in time for her own supper. They would probably ask her to stay and sup with them. But she did not intend to stay. Honeymooners were much better left to themselves. Nelly would be a dreadfully sentimental bride; and then dreadfully upset when George went away.
The et ceteras and honeymooners craned their necks; the Briton leaned toward me from opposite; the poetess, who had worn an absent expression since being told that the injured champion was not nearly well enough to listen to her ode, now put on her glasses and gazed at me kindly; while Juno reared her headdress and spoke, not to me, but to the air in my general neighborhood.
At present our company consisted of Juno; a middle-class Englishman employed in some business capacity in town; a pair of very young honeymooners from the "up-country"; a Louisiana poetess, who wore the long, cylindrical ringlets of 1830, and who was attending a convention the Daughters of Dixie; two or three males and females, best described as et ceteras; and myself.
When it grew dark, and he wanted to draw down the blinds, she caught him by the sleeve, and said: "No, no; they'll know we're honeymooners!" "Well, my Gyp, and are we not?" But he obeyed; only, as the hours went on, his eyes seemed never to let her alone.
The heart of Venice Old-fashioned music Teutonic invaders The honeymooners True republicanism A city of the poor The black shawls A brief triumph Red hair A band-night incident The pigeons of the Piazza The two Procuratie A royal palace The shopkeepers Florian's Great names Venetian restaurants Little fish The old campanile A noble resolve The new campanile The angel vane The rival campanili The welcome lift The bells Venice from the Campanile.
A man must be fed, of course, to yield himself to the suggestion, for hunger is frankly a brute; but once he has yielded he departs forthwith from his gorged carcass and flaps his transcendental wings.... Do honeymooners ever come to Waterloo Bridge? I doubt it.
Ah, that was too bad! Another table was being brought; they were not to be alone. But, what roused him in violent resentment only appealed to Sidney's curiosity. "Two places!" she commented. "Lovers, of course. Or perhaps honeymooners." K. tried to fall into her mood. "A box of candy against a good cigar, they are a stolid married couple." "How shall we know?" "That's easy.
