Her Royal Highness by William Le Queux

The great salle a manger of the Cataract is built like an Eastern mosque. Its interior is high domed, with old blue glass in the long narrow windows, and walls striped in yellow and dull red.

At night the scene is gay and animated -- a replica of the supper-room at the Savoy -- for over the thickly carpeted floor of the mosque, Society, clad in the latest _mode_, dines and makes merry at many little tables bright with electric lights and flowers, while the orchestra is just near enough to be present.
