Southbound, the Crescent serves dinner both evenings of the trip (the first night, until 10:30 p.m.). "Dinner in the diner/ Nothing could be finer." Well, almost. Each table is dressed with linen cloth and napkins, heavy silverware and a vase of three fresh yellow chrysanthemums. The fare runs to excellent Southern fried chicken with cream gravy, roast beef and steak; there are hot breads and lemon pie. One couple does object testily when the steward is unable to produce a corkscrew for the bottle of Moulin-á-Vent '76 they had brought to table. It turns out that...

...Mellon is not likely to give them naglike names−Dobbin, or Betsy or Mary Sue. Nor, being the aristocrat he is, is he likely to call them anything that sounds vulgar or, God forbid, flashy. No A.J.'s Poppa or Nudie will ever bear the gray and yellow silks of Rokeby Stables. Instead, Mellon chooses names that are close to heart, and a list of his horses shows the dimensions...
