meaning of these things, and why the
people crowded about that door, for it
was close there and there were few
flowers and the rooms were compare
lively empty, and moreover were most
tastefully decorated. And 10, he was
told that this was the door of the sup
per room and that the people would
soon be asked to enter. But he asked
had they had no supper, for to him they
looked like well fed folk, nor could he
see why they should be so hungry. And
he also asked whether they would not
be invited by the hostess herself, did
they only wait. And at these questions
those about him smiled as though they
thought him foolish to ask such ques-
lions, though he understood not the
meaning of the smile.
And behold, the crowd about the door
increased so that one having gotten into
it could by no means extricate himself,
and there was much discomfort, And
one came and said, make way" and
the people parted as best they could
and made narrow pathway for the
bride and family and bridal party to
enter. And 10, the hostess stood at the
door and to one standing on the outside
beckoned, inviting to a seat within.
And as he entered the room and was
about to take the chair pointed out to
him by the hostess 10. one sitting next
it grabbed it and turned it quickly over
and with flushed face said, "This seat is
taken" and he saw that it was taken,
though no man as yet sat in the same.
And he asked himself if he were dream
ing, and if this place, seeming to be the
home of refined folk, were really only a
railroad restaurant, and those within
travellers who had but fifteen minutes
for supper, and had passed many weary
hours since dinner, and would pass
many more ere they broke their fast.
And the sight, and the words and the
flushed face of the one who had grabbed
the chair were all there before him, and
he was filled with great astonishment.
And, looking up, behold, a hungry-eyed
crowd still stood about the door.
And after vainly asking of several
the meaning of it all, he took his hat
and went out into the street and walked
about in the cool night air and pondered
on what he had seen, and he could come
to but one conclusion, that the people
whom he had seen were really people
who had had much work and but little
to eat that day and were very hungry,
for surely such thing could not be bad
manners, for the people were we'll
dressed and well-looking and must have
known better.
