I should feel " "Pilgrim is housekeeper," Mrs. Carter corrected, Miss Pilgrim, a one-time maid, was really Mrs. Bottomley, and had been manager below stairs for a long time.
Stern and his mate peered closer, down at the interwoven jungles of Union Square, the leafy frond-masses that marked the one-time course of Twenty-Third Street, the forest in Madison Square, and the truncated column of the tower where no longer Diana turned her huntress bow to every varying breeze. They heard their own hearts beat. The intake of their breath sounded strangely loud.
"So it was, and that is how I came to be rich now," said the one-time poor man.

First is the one-time Court House of the Manor, opposite the Town Hall.
