The book begins: In one of the liveliest portions of a very lively metropolitan street was situated the popular resort known as Vatoldi�������s. It was a restaurant which owed its extensive patronage to the inducements it offered to persons of refined tastes and moderate purses. It was in a shopping district, and from early breakfast-time until a very late supper hour, Vatoldi�������s seemed never to be without customers, and John People seemed always to be behind the little desk near the entrance of the long and handsome room.
