E; to pack all the stuff in vans one day, take them to their warehouse
for the early part of the night, and start at one o'clock for
Clovertown,--agreeing to make the whole distance, unload, place the
furniture, and unpack the china before leaving that night. We need not
lift a hand. All we had to do was to go to a hotel for one night, and
take a train for Clovertown the next morning. It was almost too easy. I
reflected what "moving" meant to people who live in small towns where
such conveniences do not exist. Verily, New York might be noisy, but she
was a city of superb conveniences. Only Paris excels her in her
purveying shops, for in Paris one can buy the wing of a chicken only,
and that just around the corner, while in New York one must buy at least
the whole fowl (and pay the price of a house and lot in Louisville, let
me pause to remark!), but in justice I must also add that such luxuries
are also "just around the corner." By implicitly following Mary's advice
we saw everything safely placed in the vans and move majestically from
our door. Then we betook ourselves to the Waldorf, with our "glad rags,"
as Jimmie had commanded, in our suit-cases, and dined in state, and went
to Weber and Fields afterward. Jimmie wanted me to hear Weber persuade
Lillian Russell to invest in oil. Now at that, the Angel and Mrs. Jimmie
simply smiled indulgently. While Jimmie and I reeled in our seats and
clutched each other's sleeves and shrieked (in as ladylike a manner as
we could), while tears poured down our cheeks and our ribs cramp
