'Our fame has gone abroad in the world which amuses himself, ain't it? For a good supper connexion I have always prayed, and he has arrived. Well, it did begin to look as if he was right. Ten high-class supper-folk in an evening was pretty hot stuff for MacFarland's. I'm bound to say I got excited myself. I can't deny that I missed the Guelph at times.
He was determined to find out for himself just how correct was Dr. MacFarland's estimate of high-finance-philanthropy. On the fourth floor he left the car, and entered the door which bore the name of the organization. A young girl, toying with the wires of a telephone switchboard, did not bother to look up, despite his query.
We didn't do much in the supper line at MacFarland's as a rule in them days, but we kept open, of course, in case Soho should take it into its head to treat itself to a welsh rabbit before going to bed; so all hands was on deck, ready for the call if it should come, at half past eleven that night; but we weren't what you might term sanguine.
'I'm very much obliged to you, he says, 'for all the trouble you seem to be taking, but it isn't necessary. MacFarland's got on very well before your well-meant efforts to turn it into a bear-garden. And him coining the money from the supper-custom! Sometimes I think gratitood's a thing of the past and this world not fit for a self-respecting rattlesnake to live in. 'Andy! she says.
He was a boy who liked his own way, was Andy, and, believe me, at MacFarland's Restaurant he got it. And then, when things had settled down into a steady jog, Katie took the bit in her teeth. She done it quite quiet and unexpected one afternoon when there was only me and her and Andy in the place.
I am not making fun of you," said the captain, with keen understanding. "Thank you, Cap," said Bob quietly. "You guessed right both times. It's my first sweetheart." He buttoned his coat and started for the door. "You'd better step around to Doc MacFarland's on your rounds this evening and let him look you over. It won't take but a minute, and I don't expect him around the station.
Aunty Edith said, "Now I've got to order oil from Tryer and coal from Quick and some thread from Miss Macfarland's notion store," and I said, "Why don't the servants do all that, Aunty Edith?" She laughed and said, "There are no servants for us at East Penniwell, William; we do the work ourselves," Aunty May said, "But it will be fun, Billy.
Soho isn't so very far away from the centre of things, when you come to look at it, and they didn't mind the extra step, seeing that there was something good at the end of it. So we got our popularity, and we kept our popularity; and we've got it to this day. That's how MacFarland's came to be what it is, mister.
It was through my kind of harping on that fact that me and the Guelph parted company. The head waiter complained to the management the day I called him a fat-headed vampire. Well, what with me and what with Jules, MacFarland's it wasn't Mac's in them days began to get a move on.
I've no doubt that if we had chucked out a good customer from the Guelph that would have been the end of the place. But it only seemed to do MacFarland's good. I guess it gave just that touch to the place which made the nuts think that this was real Bohemia.
