Full of enthusiasm over the coming adventure and his part in it, Archie hurried out to a quick-lunch counter and bought himself a light meal, for he feared that he would have to remain at Coney Island through the evening.
Their first meeting was at Grady's quick-lunch counter in Faber Street, which they both frequented at one time, and the fact that each had ordered a ham sandwich, a cup of coffee, and a confection new to Grady's known as a Napoleon had led to conversation. Eda, of course, was the aggressor; she was irresistibly drawn, she would not be repulsed.

In May Cupid shoots blindfolded millionaires marry stenographers; wise professors woo white-aproned gum-chewers behind quick-lunch counters; schoolma'ams make big bad boys remain after school; lads with ladders steal lightly over lawns where Juliet waits in her trellissed window with her telescope packed; young couples out for a walk come home married; old chaps put on white spats and promenade near the Normal School; even married men, grown unwontedly tender and sentimental, whack their spouses on the back and growl: "How goes it, old girl:"
I can sometimes recall names very readily, but faces " "How long since you quit jugglin' pies and sandwiches at the quick-lunch joint?" says I. "Three months, sir," says he prompt. "Tied the can to you, did they?" says I. "I was discharged, sir," says Cyril. "The proprietor objected to my talking so much to customers. I suppose he was quite right. One of my many failings, sir."
His eyes, which had never done anything of the sort except under stimulus of the horseradish which he ate in quantities off quick-lunch counters, could smart to tears at the thought of her. And over the emotions which she stirred in him, and which he could not translate, he became facetious idiotically so.
Bud came up and stood with his hands in his coat pockets, and watched the old fellow start his fire. "Yeah how about some supper? If you am, and you ain't as hungry as you look " "I'll tell the world I am, and then some. I ain't had a square meal since yesterday morning, and I grabbed that at a quick-lunch joint. I'm open to supper engagements, brother." "All right.
He hadn't the least taste for drink, lived in a small hall-bedroom somewhere Eighth Avenue, I believe and took his meals in those shabby little quick-lunch rooms where the characters were more important to him than the food. Here, I said to myself, is one who will really do; let him be as savage as he pleases. In America he probably needs to be.
The result was that only a man with several thousand dollars could purchase one. But Henry Ford and afterward other American makers had quite a different conception. Henry Ford's earliest banker was the proprietor of a quick-lunch wagon at which the inventor used to eat his midnight meal after his hard evening's work in the shed.
At three she dressed and called for her car, driving down to the Ivy Funeral Rooms, a Gothic Thanatopsis, set, with one of those laughs up her sleeves in which the vertical city so loves to indulge, right in the heart of the town, between an automobile-accessory shop and a quick-lunch room.
