We are quite different from what you stay-at-home women fancy. Tempting chiffon frocks and love affairs de luxe with handsome junior partners are farthest from our thoughts. We plan for lonely old age a home and an annuity, a trip to Europe or some other Carcassonne of our thwarted selves. We revel in things as you women do but we revel in them because people are shut away from us.
Jim Guff's voice cracked as he hastily said: "I'll meet any offer he makes you and tack a five-thousand-dollar bonus to it." Johnny called up the De Luxe Apartments. Company and secured the ear of Mr. Chase. "I withdraw my offer of two hundred and seventy-five thousand for that river-view property," he stated. "What is the best bid you will make me above that figure?"
"You're very flattering," said I. "But I'm in the dark." "I'm going to put you wise, as Americans say. My scheme was and is to be a rival de luxe of Cook on the Nile. Not only that, but all over the near East.
Standing there in the expensive, the formal, the enormous French parlor of his up-town apartment de luxe, from not one of whose chairs would his mother's feet touch floor, a wall of living flesh, mortared in blood, was throbbing and hedging him in. He would pace up and down the long room, heavy with the faces of those who mourn, with a laugh too ready, too facetious, in his fear for them.
One wonders how a full course dinner entirely of fish can be prepared, but if you will go to the Shell Fish Grotto you will find that it is done, and done well at that.

There was a quick scurry inside, as of fast-moving feet, then silence. The woman rapped again, and this time with more force. After a moment a sash was raised and a querulous voice demanded what was wanted. "It's De Luxe Dora and Paul Balcom, and he's wounded. Quick, open the door!" There was a rush to open the door now and rough hands gently assisted the wounded man to a seat inside.
It was as though her fingers had been scorched with fire. "It shall be to-morrow," he whispered, as he passed out. From the wilds of Scotland to Monte Carlo, as fast as motor-cars and train de luxe could bring him, came the right Honourable Meredith Simpson, a very distinguished member of His Majesty's Government.
And then, very quietly, somebody entered the room. There was only one person in Sanstead House who would enter a room like that. I was amused. The impudence of the thing tickled me. It seemed so foreign to Mr Fisher's usual cautious methods. This strolling in and helping oneself was certainly kidnapping de luxe.
His mouth hardened in a subtle smile as he sauntered after Eva to bid her farewell. He remembered that De Luxe Dora was waiting outside for him in her speedster.
But he bought the car de luxe before they parted, and his cheque lay in Osborn's pocket. Another twenty-pounds commission, and what for? To spend on a woman who coolly didn't want it. Osborn Kerr started for home, chafing sorely. On his way to the Piccadilly Tube he passed the Piccadilly Theatre.
