...Reading Gaol. A great fan of the dandy Irishman, Gertrude could hardly bear that the author of such ethereal tales as "The Nightingale and the Rose" was in prison.

Though most of the restaurant's specialities, e.g., la bouillabaisse de Marius, may be ordered at the counter, the management is making its big pitch for the tourist with short-order dishes that would have made Brillat-Savarin shudder. Items: Pacific Nightmare, a 95? pie filled with minced chicken and fresh mushrooms; Romeo and Juliette Tenderloin Steakie with watercress...
