McCutcheon, George Barr, 1866-1928

"The Prince of Graustark"

It is so small and exclusive that I'm sure
you have never heard of it. I may as well tell you that I have seen
Channie,--you know who I mean,--Chandler Scoville, and he has been
very nice to me. Concerning your suggestion that I reconsider the
statement issued to the press, I beg to state that I don't see any
sense in taking the world into my confidence any farther than it has
been taken already, if that is grammatically correct. I have also
sent word to a certain person that he is not to pay any attention to
the report that we are likely to change our minds in order to help
out the greedy newspapers who don't appear to know when they have had
enough. I hope that the voyage will benefit both of you as much as it
did me. If I felt any better than I do now I'd call for the police as
a precaution. Let me suggest that you try the chicken a la Bombardier
in the Ritz restaurant. I found it delicious. I daresay they serve it
as nicely on your ship as they do on the _Jupiter_. as the management
is the same. Of course one never can tell about chefs.
