I groped my way back to the inn over the infernal cailloux, feeling like a dis- comfited Dogberry. I had chosen it for the sake of this ex- ceptional ornament. It was damp and dark, and the floors felt gritty to the feet; it was an establishment at which the dreadful gras-double might have appeared at the table d'hote, as it had done at Narbonne.
The next morning at breakfast dad says: "What's gone o' them thar biscuits my teeth is just broke with them they're so gritty they're abominable! What's this?" says he, and with that he chucks over to me two or three flakes of gold that was in them. You see what had happened, Mr. Fleming, was this! You had better luck than you was knowing of!
