It seemed to him that there was no more beautiful place on earth than this little smoke-hung corner of the restaurant. The words which escaped from his lips were vibrant, tremulous. "I am your slave. I will wait.
They visited various smoke-hung dancing halls, decorated for the most part with oleographs and cracked mirrors, in which sickly-looking young men of unwholesome aspect were dancing with their feminine counterparts. The attitude of their guide was alone amusing. "Say, you want to be careful in here!" he would declare, in an awed tone, on entering one of these tawdry palaces.
Moss, honest soul, when giving her reluctant consent to this, consoled herself by thinking that she was only yielding to another of my vagaries. There was no one else to consider, and so I put the thing down in my mind as settled. I would leave this soul-dwarfing, cramped, smoke-hung atmosphere, and take up my abode where the air was pure, and where the sun could shine. Mrs.
