Excerpt from Prefaces
They are tearing the old chop house down - the Eheu Fugaces chop house - to build on its site a commercial enterprise, a sordid publishing house.... So passes another literary landmark; mere business triumphs again over the Arts.
It was in 1850 that Jack Whittier first brought me in to dinner there. Jolly Jack Whittier! There was a wit and a true Bohemian for you! His quickness at a repartee was marvelous. Mike Cervantes was drinking in the bar as we passed through.
"Hello, Jack," hiccoughed Mike, "been snow-bounding lately?"
