The place upon the whole put me very much in mind of an Andalusian village overhung by its sierra. "Where is the inn?" said I to my companion. "Yonder it be;" said he pointing to a large house at the farther end of the market-place. "Very good inn that Talbot Arms where they are always glad to see English gentlemans."

"I would fight with proadswords, and sink point on the first plood drawn like a gentlemans." A loud shout of laughter followed the proposal, which indeed had rather escaped from poor Robin's swelling heart, than been the dictate of his sober judgment.

How old is ze chairman?" indicating the dignified elderly man at the farther end of the platform.

"An' also have I bring for do ze magic pass," thrusting a hand within his robe, "Tom ze Terrible, ze son of Tom, ze son of Tom." The hand reappeared, and placed on the table a tiny black kitten.
