It is set a couple hundred years later but this Charles Stress story is a fun read about a group of coffee lovers: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/

  Thanks. I love reading this type of grammar preppie school prose - a communication style designed for elites to recognize another deserving of status. It wasn’t until recently that I learned that most folks didn’t talk this way back then. This style of writing was what Ernest Hemingway “dismantled”. I love both Hemingway and Fitzgerald, btw ... concordantly, of course.

    In moving from Henry James to Hemmingway, a lot of magic of good writing was lost.
