What a queer docket is here! 'Tin Mine. Refused: What does that mean?" "It is an application from one Trevethick, an inn-keeper, to purchase a disused mine at Gethin, on the west coast of Cornwall, which Carew has declined.
If there's any one he can't stand looking at, he only says: 'Take that fellow and chop off his head! And he can let folk loose again too, if he likes." "And how's the likes of me to get near the King?" The rag and bone man laughed hopelessly. "Oh, that's easily done," said the inn-keeper airily. "Every one in the country has the right to see the King.
It combined dread, horror, doubt and a smouldering anger that seemed to overcast all other emotions that lay revealed to him. "This is a what is commonly called a 'road-house'?" she asked dully, her eyes narrowing suddenly as if in pain. The inn-keeper made haste to resent the implied criticism. "My place is a respectable, law-abiding " The sheriff waved him aside.
But I like to know what sort of a man I'm dealing with before I can trust him." "Oh, indeed! It's easy enough to see what sort of a fellow you are!" shouted Lars Peter and rushed out. The inn-keeper followed him out to the cart. "You'll have a different opinion of me some day," said he gently, "then we can talk it over again. Never mind. But another thing where'll you get food for the horse?"
The accommodation of his house was of the very best description; his wines were good, his viands equally so, and his charges not immoderate; though he very properly took care of himself. He was no vulgar inn-keeper, had a host of friends, and deserved them all.
As for Balbec, it was one of those names in which, as on an old piece of Norman pottery that still keeps the colour of the earth from which it was fashioned, one sees depicted still the representation of some long-abolished custom, of some feudal right, of the former condition of some place, of an obsolete way of pronouncing the language, which had shaped and wedded its incongruous syllables and which I never doubted that I should find spoken there at once, even by the inn-keeper who would pour me out coffee and milk on my arrival, taking me down to watch the turbulent sea, unchained, before the church; to whom I lent the aspect, disputatious, solemn and mediaeval, of some character in one of the old romances.
The inn-keeper and his servants appeared on the scene in their night clothes, but, hearing the terrible roaring, fled again into security. The Captain's cries for help became weaker and weaker. And now Joco took his iron stake, which he always kept by him, opened the door, and at one bound was at the side of the wild beast.
Lars Peter turned this over in his mind could that be the case? He took the two thousand crowns he had put by from the sale to build with, and went up to the inn-keeper. "Will you take care of some money for me?" he said in a low voice. "You're the savings bank for us down here, I've been told." The inn-keeper counted the money, and locked it up in his desk.
The wedding was celebrated with great joy, and the young King caused his father and his foster-father to be brought, and loaded them with treasures. Neither did he forget the inn-keeper, but sent for him and said, "Behold, sir host, I have married the King's daughter, and your house and yard are mine." The host said, "Yes, according to justice it is so."
He wondered what Rosamund would have thought of it, if she had seen that strange and turbulent look in the eyes of this woman who had been a lady and was an inn-keeper; of one whom men called Spy, and daughter of Satan, and child of Al-je-bal.
