a year would enable him to take poor children out of this city into the country to and drink fresh milk and eat wholesome food for two weeks every summer from now until the end of time which would build up a human structure that might be of more benefit to the world than any pile of bricks marble and wrought iron or any other could conceive of said the idiot the structure would stand up too you call that architecture do you said mr yes said the idiot of the order but that of course you term � and maybe it is i like to be that kind of an idiot i do not claim to be able to build a cathedral however i don t suppose i could even build a boarding house like this but what i should like to do in architecture would be to put up a for that s a thing that has never been done and i think i might be able to do it if i did i d patent the plan and make a fortune then i should like to know by ic enough about the science of planning a building to find out whether my model hotel is practicable or not you have a model hotel in your mind eh said the it must be a very small hotel if it s in his mind said the doctor that s to saying that it isn t anywhere said mr well it s a great hotel just the same said the idiot although i presume it would be expensive to build it would have rooms in the first place each room would be constructed like an with at hand for moving it up and down the great thing about this would be that persons could have a room on any floor they wanted it so long as they got the room in the beginning a second advantage would lie in the fact that if you were sleeping in a room next door to another in which there was a crying baby you could pull the rope and go up two or three flights until you were free from the noise then in case of fire the room in which the fire started could be lowered into a sliding large enough to the whole thing in which i should have constructed in the cellar if the whole building by ic were to catch fire there be no loss of life because all the rooms could be lowered to the ground floor and the occupants could step right out upon solid ground then again if you were down on the ground floor and desired to get an extended view of the surrounding country it would be easy to raise your room to the desired elevation why there s no end to the advantages to be gained from such an arrangement it s a fine idea said mr and one worthy of your intellect it couldn t possibly cost more than a million of dollars to erect such a hotel could it no said the idiot and that is cheap alongside some of the hotels they are putting up nowadays it could be built on less than four hundred acres of ground too i presume said the with a wink at the doctor certainly said the idiot meekly and if anybody fell sick in one of the rooms said the doctor and needed a change of air you could have a tower over each i suppose so that the room could be elevated high enough to secure the different quality in the undoubtedly said the idiot although by ic that add materially to the expense a scarlet fever patient however in a hotel like that very easily be isolated from the rest of the house by the maintenance of what might be called the hospital floor superb said the doctor i wonder yon haven t spoken to some friend about it i have said the idiot you must remember that young fellow with a black i had here to dinner last saturday night yes i remember him said the doctor is he an he is � and a good one he can take a brown stone dwelling and turn it into a mansion with a pot of yellow paint he s a wonder i submitted the idea to him and what was his verdict i don t like to say said the idiot blushing a little � ha ha laughed mr � i shouldn t think you would like to say i guess we know what he said i doubt it said the idiot but if you guess right i ll tell you he said you had better go and live in a by ic asylum said mr with a not he retained the idiot at his on the contrary he advised me to stop living in one he said contact with the rest of you was affecting my brain this time mr did not laugh but his coffee cup for a piece of toast bit a small section out of its rim and in the midst of mrs s which followed the school master s careless error the idiot and the old gentleman departed with smiles on their faces which were almost visible at the back of their respective necks by ic said the idiot as be began bis breakfast this isn t friday morning is it i thought it was tuesday so it is tuesday put in the school master then this fish is a little extra treat is it observed the idiot turning with a smile to the landlady � fish that isn t fish sir returned the good lady that is liver oh is it said the idiot excuse me my dear mrs i thought from its resistance that it was sole have you a be added turning to the maid my piece is tender enough i can t see
