There was a hostel for proselytes in that town to which he gained admission.

Berenger was obliged to crave permission from the King to spend some hours in riding with Osbert to the first hostel on their way, to make arrangements for the relay of horses that was to meet them there, and for the reception of Veronique, Eustacie's maid, who was to be sent off very early in the morning on a pillion behind Osbert, taking with her the articles of dress that would be wanted to change her mistress from the huntress maid of honour to the English dame.
"I've heard you play dozens yes, dozens! of things without music at the hostel, so you've just got to try!" "I shall break down, I know I shall!" "Then you can begin again at the beginning. Fire away, and don't be affected!" commanded Nora.
In the "good old times," on the contrary, a cavalier jogged on through bog and mire, from town to town and hamlet to hamlet, conversing with friars and franklins, and all other chance companions of the road; beguiling the way with travellers' tales, which then were truly wonderful, for every thing beyond one's neighbourhood was full of marvel and romance; stopping at night at some "hostel," where the bush over the door proclaimed good wine, or a pretty hostess made bad wine palatable; meeting at supper with travellers, or listening to the song or merry story of the host, who was generally a boon companion, and presided at his own board; for, according to old Tusser's "Innholder's Posie,"

"This is the 'Mouton d'Or," said Aylward, as they pulled up their horses at a whitewashed straggling hostel. "What ho there!" he continued, beating upon the door with the hilt of his sword.

I'll leave them for you at the Hostel. You deserve them!" "You mascot! I can't quite see that I do deserve them, for I really meant to rag you about that Abbey business. But I won't say 'No, thank you! to chocks! Rather not! We'll have a gorgeous little private feast in No. 2 to-morrow night." An Easter Pilgrimage
Near is an apple-tree, Big like a hostel; A pretty bush thick as a fist of hazel-nuts, a choice spring and water fit for a Prince to drink. Round it tame swine lie down, Wild swine, grazing deer, A badger's brood, A peaceful troop, a heavy host of denizens of the soil A-trysting at my house. To meet them foxes come. How delightful!"

She was delighted to find that she was to be the only guest. She felt that on this particular visit even Verity would be de trop.

It gave her quite a thrill to turn in at the familiar gate of Rotherwood.
"Daily, after Vespers, I shall stand hidden among the pillars, close to the winding stair. One step aside only one step and my arm will be around thee. A new life of love and home will lie before us.
