F. Colburn (Francis Colburn) Adams

Capitolo 58

Captain was picked up by the arm in some kind of the friendship of obligation, and
escorted in the eat-cafe of Baker, an adjacent to place the
theater, and, to an unaccostomed man to the things which I/you/they am
Charleston, a very noisy place. This is considered from Charlestonians
one of the most excellent places in the Southern country;  where good suppers
and secession (the all-fascinating subjects with Charles-tonians)
you form the only important element of conversation. You/he/she can have put down
as a fact that among seven-tenth of the people of Charleston, the
standard of a gentleman is measured according to its knowledge of
secession and his/her ability to resolve the matter of warm suppers. Us
doesn't say anything of that vigorous patriotism manifested in so often a
long sequence of toast of fulsome that the dishonor the columns of the
Mercury and Messenger. 

To Baker it is the place you/he/she had literally crowded with some the son-in-laws and
characters, classified down by the honorable judge to the pot-boy;  a
pot-pouri of courtesy and company only you exhibit in England on
the near approach of elections. The reader can think this strange,
but we can assure that distinctions are oddly maintained;  a
exclusive arrogance that is observed in the private life, while an also
frequent and general appeal to bar-rooms has established plebeianism
in public. Bawls were playing to all the parts of the box, and for
so many different voices as a lot of different mixtures had called. The
Captain received a lot of introductions, and almost as many
invitations to drink;  but the small men, George Master asked the
exclusive honor, and holding an awake wide eye, taken the advantage
of his own dimensions, and it started to work his/her way through a barricade
of bodies and elbows, until him you/he/she had come over-the-counter. His/her party
closing continues with, to its heels. Together, them orders to call cocktail,
crashes, grog cobblers, juleps and legitimate. These prepared
of, the society mended to what has called an on-steps of "box."
