For half the year he did not reach his dim up-town flat till after dark, and could only "brush up" for dinner, and afterward lie on the lounge with his pipe, while his sister droned through the evening paper.

He sank back in the deeply padded seat, and felt tired and in some odd fashion lonely. He would have liked to talk to Graham on the way up-town, if only to crystallize his own thoughts. He would have liked to be going home to review with Natalie the day's events, the fine spirit of his men, the small difficulties. But Natalie hated the mention of the mill.
Any amiable young man, his head ringing with the latest crusade, could accomplish as much as he could with the debris of Europe and it was time for him to write. He had been living in a down-town Y.M.C.A., but when he quit the task of making sow-ear purses out of sows' ears, he moved up-town and went to work immediately as a reporter for The Sun.

"I don't think my client has any legal grounds," he told the landlord, "but he thinks that he has, and the case does seem a little hard.
After proceeding about a mile in an up-town direction, Constans turned and walked westward for a couple of blocks.
