Gus Wuest's roadhouse at Queens looks inviting as of old, and the red-brown of the copper beeches reminds one of the tall amber beakers. Here is the little park by the station in Queens, the flag on the staff, the forsythia bushes the colour of scrambled eggs. Is it the influence of the Belmont Park race track? Here is one, a handsome person, who holds our eye as a bright flower might.
