Excerpt from Fabian Dimitry: A Novel Who has not seen the multicolored lights of the Alhambra flame in Leicester Square from the gloom of a London evening? Almost every third American whom one meets, it might now be answered, in these days when the awful sweep of ocean from New York to Liverpool has become like the trivial terrors of aswollen brook. Still, by early November, there are few transatlantic theatre-goers remaining in the gray metropolis of the North. Either they have all sped home again across those heaving marine leagues which they contemn so magnificently, or they have drifted to the south of Europe in search of that clement thermometer which they rarely find above the toe of the Italian boot.
