The whole street bore the flavor of riches and show, and Carrie felt that she was not of it.
A few minutes later he was on the lower floor. He had a short conversation with the two doormen; then he proceeded to the telephone and called up the Universal. The result was startling. Asked if the name of Rupert Henry Travis, Hertfordshire, England, was on their register, the answer was yes. "The date of his arrival?" "Early this morning." "Any other arrivals to-day from the other side?"
But there were the same old diamonds and pearls, the same old canvases, the same old photographs, the same old antiques, the same old frocks and shoes and men's shirtings, the same old Persian rugs and Japanese ware, the same cold, hard plates and china, the very same old hats and dinks and dressing-gowns and cut flowers and clubs, and all the same doormen in the uniforms that are a cross between those of admirals and generals, the men whose only exercise during the whole of the year is obtained by cutting ice and sweeping snow from just their particular patch of pavement.

Anyway, one of those persons told me for a consideration a lot about the private affairs of the tenants. You know, Mr.
Those nearest the catastrophe stepped back others pushed forward and an ambulance, ready for such a possible occasion, hurried the wounded man to the hospital.

"If you'd think a minute, you would realize that we don't charter doormen to welcome people, but to keep them out." She turned to Lewis. "But not you, boy. You may come any time except between nine and ten. That's when I have my bath. What's your name? I can't call you boy forever." "Lewis." "Well, Lew, you may call me H lne, like your father.
