Did he quite understand that Mr. Forsyte wished a dozen bottles of the champagne from Whiteley's to be put out? She hated having to say this sort of thing to a butler, it was so infra dig.; but what could you do with father?

The restaurant which Hutcheson had indicated was, I found, situated about half-way up Westbourne Grove, nearly opposite Whiteley's, a small place where confectionery and sweets were displayed in the window, together with long-necked flasks of Italian chianti, chump-chops, small joints and tomatoes.
By day he was the vigorous brain of a huge emporium, a sort of Tyrian Whiteley's; but day and night he was a lover of books, and you could never catch him so busy but that he could spare the time mysteriously to beckon you into his private office, and with the glee of a child, show you his last large paper.
"Under the circumstances, it would be better to put everything into the hands of Harrods or Whiteley's, or even to go to some hotel." "You desire a hotel?" "Yes, because well, I mustn't interfere with you. No doubt you want to be married from your old home." "My old home's falling into pieces, Henry. I only want my new. Isn't it a perfect evening " "The Alexandrina isn't bad "
It's rummy about these blighters, but they never seem able to understand a damn thing. It's hard! You put things in words of one syllable for them, and they just goggle and wonder what it all means. They want something on account. Upon my Sam, I'm disappointed with Whiteley's. I'd been thinking in rather a kindly spirit of them, and feeling that they were a more intelligent lot than Harrod's.
The absence of Wenuses and of any sound betokening their activity was disconcerting. However, my wife thought it best to lay siege to Whiteley's rather than to enter the establishment. The army therefore waited. The heat became intense. My wife and her soldiers began to feel the necessity for refreshment. My wife is accustomed to regular meals.
Tomkins, fearing that his mantle of doocid cleverness was descending upon the tooth-sucker, eyed him unconvinced. "I wasn't aware as 'ow there was a penny bazaar in the neighbourhood, nor yet a William Whiteley's." "Yes, by Jove," chirped Percy, "where do we get it all from? We shall want lots of it, too, don't you know what?" "Get it?"
I don't know that it is of any importance. But I thought it a really admirable illustration of the true value of ordinary art-criticism. It seems that a lady once gravely asked the remorseful Academician, as you call him, if his celebrated picture of 'A Spring-Day at Whiteley's, or, 'Waiting for the Last Omnibus, or some subject of that kind, was all painted by hand? GILBERT. And was it?
Then he would go with Fan to explore Whiteley's, which seemed to require a great deal of exploring; and from these delightful rambles they would return laden with treasures choice bon-bons, exotic flowers and hot- house grapes at five or six shillings a pound; quaint Japanese knick- knacks; books and pictures, and photographs of celebrated men great beetle-browed philosophers, and men of blood and thunder; also of women still more celebrated, on and off the stage.
