Making Him Comfortable
Commodore Peary, discussing hotels with a
Washington reporter, said.
"Modern hotels are becoming more and more
luxurious. Every bedroom now has its private bath
and dressing room. These hotels can't do enough
to make you comfortable."
Commodore Peary stroked his mustache and
smiled.
"In fact," he said, "when I stopped, just after my
return from the North Pole, at Simeon Ford's
luxurious hotel, Mr. Ford bowed and rubbed his
hands and said anxiously:
"We shall do everything to make you feel at
home. Would you like a nice large cake of ice in
your bed, sir?"
