The Thorne Smith Triplets

By: Thorne Smith

COURTESY OF LowCountryBookstore: Chapter One, Morning Thought on a German Model: There was Topper, and there was the Mediterranean, a magnificent spectacle, that - - Topper and the Mediterranean, Kindred spirits well met, contemplating each other across an alluring girdle of sand. Not a large man, Topper - - Cosmo Topper. Nor yet a small man. Certainly not a small. A comfortable man, rather. Slightly plump if anything and clad in a pair of blue-silk pajamas. An there was the Mediterranean just as it had been there for a considerable length of time - - much linger tha Mr. Topper, for one thing. A vast expanse of cool ocean as blue and virginal seeming as the garments adorning the figure then inspecting it for the balcon of a discouragingly pale stucco villa set in a garden fairly bristling with grass of a repellent toughness - - grass so hostilely though that only a rhinoceros could sit on it with any showing of dignity and aplomb. (From first paragraph.)
