They collected in groups and clots at the Shorcham, the Arlington, and Willard's to discuss their amazement. The President and General Attorney, if they were smitten of wonder, concealed it, and within the hour after their arrival rang the doorbell of Mr.Gwynn.They were ushered into a room the tamed splendors of which told the thorough taste that had conceived it.
Then their cards went up to Mr.Gwynn. Word came back that Mr.Gwynn was deeply engaged.
