The refinements of life were lacking, to be sure but who cared? Certainly the hungry members of the Reverend Harry Lauder, M.P., Tour did not! We ate from a rough deal table, sitting on rude benches that had a decidedly home-made look. But we had music with our meals, just like the folks in London at the Savoy or in New York at Sherry's!
I help get dinner if I feel like it, and wash my hair if I want to, and sit out in the back yard, and fool with the dog, and act like a human being for one day. After you've been on the road for ten years a real Sunday dinner in a real home has got Sherry's flossiest efforts looking like a picnic collation with ants in the pie.
I'm getting to be quite a fop. Do you notice that I say 'By Jove' occasionally?" He gave his raucous laugh of derision. "Dined at Sherry's the other night, old chap," he went on with raw mimicry. "They thought I was a Christian and let me in. I used to look like the devil, you know." "By the Lord Harry, Elias," cried Graydon, "you look like the devil now."
At sight of him she had nerved herself, had keyed herself up toward recklessness. She was in for it. She would put it through. No futile cowardly shrinking and whimpering! Why not try to get whatever pleasure there was a chance for? But Sherry's was it safe? Yes, almost any of the Fifth Avenue places except the Waldorf, possibly was safe enough.
He wired Brewster at once of this misfortune, and was astonished at the nonchalance of his reply. "But then Monty always was a good sort," he thought, with a glow of affection. The new plan was more costly than the old, for it was no simple matter to build a Versailles suite at Sherry's.
Then they passed to a side street, upon which two new places had recently been built. One of the new places was a butcher shop, and this was dark and deserted. Next to it was a new resort known as Mike Sherry's Palace, and this was well lit up and evidently in full blast. "If Flapp is drinking he is evidently in this place," remarked Dick.
Croly urged the formation of the New York State Federation, and assisted by Sorosis as the hostess, an invitation was issued to all the State clubs to be the guests of Sorosis at Sherry's, November, 1894. Mrs.
He couldn't have been as surprised as I was, at that. We went to the bar and had a drink, and then I ast him what'd he, have on me, and all the time I was sizing him up. I'm telling you, he looked like he'd grown up in Sherry's." The rest of the conversation, it appeared from Mr. Wickert's spirited sketch, had consisted mainly in eager queries from himself, and good-humored replies by the other.

You've got something on your mind, Elias. What is it? Why do you insist on going to-night?" "I don't. It's to-night or not at all, however. I'm not in the habit of letting people decide when I shall dine at Sherry's. If she doesn't want to come, let her say so."
