...ordered the hanging gardens. There will be no awful monument to a heath on god atop the Larkin tower, and no pleasure palace for a buried king. Nearly a quarter of a mile above the level of the street, business men will put down the ticker tape with a sigh, light a cigar and go to sleep; stenographers will take the opportunity to powder the insatiable nose; and secretaries, peering softly through the door, will tell visitors, "he's in conference." Over their heads Girl Scouts from Waukegan will scream at the wind, and their little brothers will...

Of course, when Mary shoots Josie, the last horse, there is nothing more for Archie to be loyal to, so he turns with a sigh to the taxicab Mary purchased for him, and it ends happily-except for poor old Josie. Mr. Barry presents it all in a fantasy-pageant, tender, sometimes sharply satirical. Never does he allow the symbolism to intrude upon the essential humanity of his men, women, and horse.
