From the advanced dump the rations were man-handled by companies to their own cook-houses. Our water supply was carried in camel tanks, empty rum jars or petrol tins from Romano's Well. Later on water from even this source had to be chlorinated and the well lost its charm.
Instantly G.J. was conscious of making a complete recovery from all the effects, physical and moral, of the air-raid. "Just help me to get her out, will you?" he said in a casual tone, "and I'll carry her upstairs. Where did you pick the lady up?" "Strand, sir, nearly opposite Romano's." "The dickens you did!" "Shock from air-raid, I suppose, sir." "Probably."
Griffiths was amusing; he would help them to get through the evening; and Philip was so fond of them both that he wanted them to know and to like one another. He left Mildred with the words: "Only six days more." They had arranged to dine in the gallery at Romano's on Sunday, because the dinner was excellent and looked as though it cost a good deal more than it did.
But when gas was expected, one welcomed heavy rain and high winds and loud explosions from bursting shells. Between nine and ten p.m. I heard a series of soft bursts just across the river and arranged with Romano's Battery for mutual alarms if any gas should come too near. An hour later I was relieved in the Command Post and turned in.
"A runner, dear old sport," chortled Bones, "in the Cambridgeshire! You see I've got a ticket number seventeen, seventeen eight in my pocket, dear old friend! If Mercutio wins," he repeated solemnly, "I will stand you the finest dinner that can be secured this side of Romano's." Mail day is ever a day of supreme interest for the young and for the matter of that for the middle-aged, too.
But Glory took no notice now, save that for a moment the smile died off her face. It had been agreed, when they cracked the head off the last bottle, that the company should dine together at the Cafe Royal or Romano's, so they drove first to Drake's chambers to brush the dust off and to wash and rest.
He held her hand, smiling. "This is fine!" he said. "Where shall we go?" "Romano's." "Romano's let it be. I've a cab here, waiting." He handed her in, jumped in after her, and slammed the door, with a feeling that for an hour at least he had left his troubles outside. "How are you?" he asked. "What have you been doing since I saw you last? And didn't you ever expect to see me again?"
"I must tell Jimmy the glad tidings." Peter Phipps made his adieux to Lady Amesbury early and drove in his electric coupé first to Romano's, then to the Milan and finally to Ciro's. Here he found Dredlinton, seated in a corner by himself, a little sulky at the dancing proclivities of the young lady whom he had brought. He greeted Phipps with some surprise. "Hullo, Dreadnought!" he exclaimed.
The water of Belpher Creek is shallow even at high tide, and when the tide runs out it leaves glistening mud flats, which it is the peculiar taste of the oyster to prefer to any other habitation. For years Belpher oysters had been the mainstay of gay supper parties at the Savoy, the Carlton and Romano's. Dukes doted on them; chorus girls wept if they were not on the bill of fare.
