| The moment we were under way I began to
prowl about the great steamer and fill myself with joy. She was as clean
and as dainty as a drawing-room; when I looked down her long, gilded saloon,
it was like gazing through a splendid tunnel; she had an oil-picture, by
some gifted sign-painter, on every stateroom door; she glittered with no
end of prism-fringed chandeliers; the clerk's office was elegant, the bar
was marvelous, and the bar-keeper had been barbered and upholstered at incredible
cost. - Life on the Mississippi |
