Yarnell said this was Castle Garden, where many diners came for the excellence of the food and the view of the harbor.

I could begin to see up the streets of the city beyond the Battery.

But there was a riot of stir and activity, in expectation of our boat.
I disembarked and hired a hack.

I was traveling with a huge valise.

Yarnell came up to bid me adieu, promising to call upon me at the Franklin House.
