Rittenhouse, who does nothing but talk of the Junta and the learned men of the Philadelphia Society, and the grand new hall they mean to build, and chemistry, as if one was so anxious to know what was in one's body and one's food and the air one breathed. Why, it would make life a burthen. To be sure, Betty says Mr.
And he called him somebody Donkeyhote " "Where is Mr. O'Neill?" "He drove down to the village with Mr. Rittenhouse for the mail." Joan glided away like a shadow. Don Quixote! And so he had done that strange, fantastic thing for her and she had given the money away to Don!
It is a diverting spectacle, a man with his mouth full of squab, insisting that cats should be exterminated. A woman who has done much for the advance of English poetry in America by her influence on public critical opinion, is Jessie B. Rittenhouse.

He entered a taxicab, and was carried smoothly through the thick, hot air; open electric cars, ladened with damp, pallid salespeople, passed with a harsh ringing; and the foliage in Rittenhouse Square hung dusty and limp and still.
The other was that as Mr. Rittenhouse Smith left the drawing-room, passing close beside her with Miss Winthrop upon his arm, he made a face at her. The first of these phenomena struck her as curious. The second struck her as ominous. Had it been possible she would have investigated the cause of Mr. Smith's facial demonstration. But it was not possible.
