Throughout dinner, he kept glancing around the huge 532-seat saloon and scribbling into the notebook he always carried with him.
Thomas, the captain said teasingly, I cant imagine what faults you can possibly find in this magnificent room. Are the tables too close together?
Andrews hastily closed More Page Joonasnet the notebook, like a child caught marblecake urban dictionary
illicit material in a classroom. Nothing involving this saloon, E.J., he explained with his ingratiating little grin. Merely a few notes I made on an inspection prior to dinner. Not all the kitchen equipment is functioning as well as More Page Joonasnet it should. The roast lamb certainly was excellent, Guggenheim observed tactfully. Astor wiped his sailboats
lips with a linen napkin and nodded. A remarkable cuisine, Captain Smith. White Star must be complimented; my wife and I didnt dine any better in Paris. Stead, who by nature couldnt stand anyone More Page Joonasnet else dominating a dinner conversation, jumped in like an actor hearing his cue. A pity your lovely bride jim florentine
join us, Mr. Astor. Astors smile seemed to erase his air of arrogance. She is, as you may have heard, with child and not feeling too well. He More Page Joonasnet glanced at the book Stead had carried with him to dinner and placed next to his wineglass. I see that your dinner companion is haberman test
book, Mr. Stead. You must have expected this to be a dull gathering. Stead laughed. Quite the contrary. I brought it along More Page Joonasnet so I could recommend it to all of you, especially Captain Smith. E.J.s frosty eyebrows rose. Me? Yes. Its a remarkable novel titled Futility. About a great British ship, amazingly similar to cole porter
Titanic. Almost the same length, tonnage, and capacity ... even her name is a fascinating More Page Joonasnet coincidence. The author-an American, incidentally-calls her the Titan. I trust shes a great success, the captain said dryly. Im afraid not. She strikes an iceberg in the Atlantic and sinks. Because there are an insufficient number of lifeboats marblecake urban dictionary
most of her passengers and crew perish. Stead couldnt More Page Joonasnet forego a glance at John Jacob Astor. Many of the passengers are extremely wealthy, and sublimely confident that the Titan is unsinkable. Ismay had said little up to now, but he was glowering. Sounds like literary rubbish to me, Mr. Stead. It is tu4ar.com
mystery to me More Page Joonasnet why youd recommend such a work to anyone at this table, especially Captain Smith. When was it written? Fourteen years ago, Stead said calmly. The parallels were so striking, I merely wanted to draw the novel to your attention. Im not saying the author was capable More Page Joonasnet of premonition. Captain Smith snorted sailboats
I certainly hope not! I must say, Mr. Stead, you make it sound as though the physical similarities between the two ships must inevitably be followed by similar disaster. I assure you, sir, its a damn sight easier to sink a More Page Joonasnet ship with a pen than to sink one as safe brooke elliott
the Titanic! Andrewss own rather bushy eyebrows had narrowed. Mr. Stead, I seem to recall reading a story you wrote some years ago ... one with roughly the same plot. As a matter of fact, you More Page Joonasnet used E.J. here as a character; he commanded the ship that rescued the survivors. I did, Stead tu4ar.com
Pure fiction, though. I apologize, Captain, if my mentioning Futility has offended you or this noble vessel in any way. I myself have been most impressed with her magnificence. More Page Joonasnet Why, I can quote you verbatim from letters Ive already written to my wife. I said the Titanic was as firm as tu4ar.com
rock-those were my exact words-and in a subsequent letter, I called her a monstrous floating Babylon. Babylon, Andrews frowned, was destroyed. I was referring More Page Joonasnet to Babylons fabulous beauty, not its eventual fate, Stead said in a conciliatory tone. He was conscious of Ismays glare and suspected that J. Bruce, like so many marblecake urban dictionary
these days, considered him something of a blithering old idiot. Stead was only sixty-four but looked much More Page Joonasnet older with that grea.
