In the midst arose a lofty pyramid, and as I looked at it I could not refrain from shuddering; for it looked like the public altar, upon which in due time I should be compelled to make my appearance, and be offered up as a victim to the terrific superstitions of the Kosekin. Crossing this great square, we came to a vast portal, which opened into a cavern with twinkling lights.
In the arch of the doorways, are three fine mural paintings, harmonizing in subject and coloring with the spirit of the Court "Fruit and Flowers," by Childe Hassam, on the West, "The Pursuit of Pleasure," by Charles Holloway, on the east and "The Victorious Spirit," by Arthur F.

The Brougham from which thou descendest at the portal of the "Carlton" or the "Travellers'," is like everybody else's; thy black coat has no more plaits, nor buttons, nor fancy in it than thy neighbor's; thy hat was made on the very block on which Lord Addlepate's was cast, who has just entered the Club before thee.
Then pursued by scores of the Things and like some mischievous boy bearing off the spoils, the block that held us raced away, straight for an open portal. A blaze of incandescent blue flame blinded me; again as the dazzlement faded I saw Drake beside me a skeleton form. Swiftly flesh melted back upon him, clothed him.

The east facade of the Palace of Mines duplicates that of the Varied Industries Palace, and the west facade forms one side of the north Court of Abundance.

The obstinate portal opened at once. 'Empty! ejaculated Albert, putting his nose into a small dressing-room. With a gesture of disgust Hugo turned away. In the same instant Simon withdrew his head into the sitting-room. 'I've seen him, Simon whispered in hoarse excitement. 'He just popped out of the kitchen and came half-way up the area steps. Then he ran back. He saw me looking at him.
These people all have the "nightcap" habit, and drift along towards the bar-room the last brilliant scene in the drama of the idle day, the necessary portal to the realm of silence and sleep. This is a large apartment, brightly lighted, with a bar extending across one end of it.
