Thank God we're away from that inquisitive crowd for a few minutes! Are you going to give me an idea of what's moving?" Fischer watched the wine being poured into his glass. "Not until this evening," he said. "I want you to bring your sister and come and dine at the new roof-garden." "I don't know whether Pamela has any engagement," Van Teyl began, a little dubiously.
But when Carroll, on his return from the barber's shop, brought the papers, Major Arms discovered, much to his disappointment, that that particular attraction had been removed from the roof-garden. There was a long and flattering encomium of the song and dance which upheld him in his enthusiasm. "Yes, it was a big thing; you can understand by what it says here," said he, "I was right.
So what we have to do is to keep a lookout for a dozen or so aristocrats of that dignified deportment which comes from constant association with the main boss, and, if we can elude these, all will be well." It was by Smith's suggestion that the editorial staff of Peaceful Moments dined that night at the Astor roof-garden. "The tired brain," he said, "needs to recuperate.
The General catered, too, to the amusement of his troops, and the brasses of the band broke the icy stillness of the great hills continually. "Music's the thing," he cried, many years later, "and when we got to the top we had the most original roof-garden you ever saw.
Stevey Todd sat down and cried. I was disgusted with seeing the hotel standing on her roof-garden and thinking of the mess there was inside her, all come of a tremblorito no bigger than enough to cave in the bank and tip the Helen Mar over, and enough tidal wave to wash the streets of Portate, which needed it. I saw the Sarasara shaking her old umbrella at us, and I was mad.
The Athletic Club building is nine stories high, yellow brick with glassy roof-garden above and portico of huge limestone columns below. The lobby, with its thick pillars of porous Caen stone, its pointed vaulting, and a brown glazed-tile floor like well-baked bread-crust, is a combination of cathedral-crypt and rathskellar.
When you had climbed to the top of this hill it was like standing on a roof-garden, or as though you were watching a naval battle from a fighting top of one of the battleships. The top of the hill was not unlike an immense circus ring in appearance.
You will soon begin to value me at my true worth." "We had half promised," Pamela murmured, "to go out with Mr. Fischer this evening." "The more reason for my intervention," Lutchester observed. "Fischer is not a fit person for you to associate with." She laughed curiously. "People who saw you at the roof-garden last night might say that you were scarcely a judge," Pamela retorted.
The architect pointed to the top of the wall: "The little roof-garden on the edge of the upper wall gives the Egyptian note in the architecture that many people have felt and it is emphasized by the deep red that Guerin has applied, the shade that's often found in Egyptian ruins."
While you sit musing or murmuring in your rapture, two mandolins and a guitar smilingly intrude, and after a prelude of Italian airs swing into strains which presently, through your revery, you recognize as "In the Bowery" and "Just One Girl," and the smile of the two mandolins and the guitar spreads to a grin of sympathy, and you are no longer at the Cafe Sibylla in Tivoli, but in your own Manhattan on some fairy roof-garden, or at some sixty-cent table d'hote, with wine and music included.
