Round the Corner in Gay Street

Round the Corner in Gay Street is a book by Grace S. Richmond. The contents list divides the book into Book I, Gay Street, and Book II, Worthington Square, with chapter titles that include, among others, An Introduction by Telephone, Peter Sees a Light and Jane Wears Pearls. The text shows Murray gently attempting to take the receiver away from her, saying, "Let me tackle that person, please," and the next moment Jane is standing beside the desk.

The text says Murray hung up the receiver with an impatient click which expressed his contempt for a clerk who would hurry up an order for Worthington Square when he would not do it for Gay Street. Murray tells Jane that he came after her because mother is getting a bit uneasy and wants to be sure the bride is at her elbow, ready for the fray, and Jane lets Murray walk off with her. The text shows Jane saying she is not upset, though her lips are unsteady, and Murray putting his arm around her and saying Larrabee thought it was worse than it was with Peter when they put him in the ambulance.
