[Cupid’s Understudy by Edward Salisbury Field]@TWC D-Link bookCupid’s Understudy CHAPTER Three 4/7
We are stopping at The Plaza, and we dine at half past seven." Then Mr.Porter found us a taxi-cab, and away we went. It was good to be in America again.
I made Dad stop the car, and have the top put back, even though it was freezing cold, for I had never been in New York before (when I'd gone to France, I had sailed from New Orleans) and I wanted to see everything.
The tall buildings, the elevated, even the bad paving till we got to Fifth Avenue, interested me immensely, as they would any one to whom. Paris had been home, and New York a foreign city.
Not that I had ever thought of Paris as my real home; home was, where my heart was--with Dad.
I tried to make him understand how, happy I was to be with him, how I had missed him, and California. "So you missed your old father; did you, girlie ?" "Yes, Dad." "And you'll be glad to go to California ?" "Oh, so glad!" "Then," said Dad, "we'll start tomorrow." Our rooms at the hotel were perfect; there was a bed room and bath for me a bed room and bath for Dad, with a sitting room between, all facing the Park.
