Look inside the book:

It was after dinnerafter one of Tom Gainsborough's snug, inimitable little dinners; only we threeTom, his wife, and myself: and a couple of negro attendants, as well trained and less overpowering than the best of the native English stock; and that charming dining-room, just big enough, just cool enough, soft-carpeted, clear-walled, and the steady white radiance of the argand burners descending upon the damask tablecloth, crowned with fruits and flowers; and an agreeable shadow over the rest of the room, so that those sable servitors could perform their noiseless178 evolutions unseen; and a pervading sense of unconscious good-breeding and unobtrusive wealth; andbut I will not speak of the china; I will not descant upon Tom's wines; I don't wish to make other people envious. ...But the boat turned out to be so crowded that I changed my mind again: it was then so late that I hadn't time to reach the central railway station; my only chance of catching the train was to jump into a droschkey at the steamboat landing and drive as the kutcher never drove before, for the lower station, which was half-a-mile nearer.

About Julian Hawthorne, the Author:

I was initiated into a college secret societya couple of hours of grotesque and good-humored rodomontade and horseplay, in which I cooperated as in a kind of pleasant nightmare, confident, even when branded with a red-hot iron or doused head-over heels in boiling oil, that it would come out all right. ...In 1889 there were reports that Hawthorne was one of several writers who had, under the name of 'Arthur Richmond,' published in the North American Review devastating attacks on President Grover Cleveland and other leading Americans.
