Would you mind giving him the holster of my revolver? It wants a stitch or two. "He handed the holster to the inn-keeper and added, laughing: "'I'm keeping the revolver, in case I need it. You never can tell! "Then, still very calmly, he took a cigarette from a silver case, lit it and walked out. We saw him through the window vaulting on his horse and riding off at a slow trot.
"I have missed you, Herr Roland," he said, "so you may imagine how much the guild has regretted your absence." "Yes; I hear them bemoaning their fate." The inn-keeper laughed. "How many are here to-night?" "There is a full house, Sir Roland." "Really? Are Kurzbold and Gensbein within?" "Oh, yes; and there is no scarcity of money, thanks to you, I understand."
Downstairs Booth waited for her. He heard the story of the tragedy from the surly inn-keeper, who crossly maintained that his business had been ruined. Booth was vaguely impressed, he knew not why, by Burton's description of the missing woman. "I'd say she was about the size of Mrs. Wrandall herself, and much the same figger," he said, as he had said a thousand times before.
While this scene was acting, the inn-keeper came in upon us, with the other part of our supper; and viewing the obscene posture we were in, "I beseech you, sirs," said he, "are ye drunk, or have fled justice, and are acting it on your selves, or both? ho! who was going to make a gibet of the bed? What private designs are here on foot? What was your going out but now with intent to bilke me?
"You'll see the rascal's found out that there's nothing more to be got out of us, he's a sharp nose, he has." The explanation was not entirely satisfactory even to Lars Peter himself. There was something about the inn-keeper which could not be reckoned as money. He was anxious to rule, and did not spare himself in any way.
Accordingly they got a Painter by the Knight's Directions to add a pair of Whiskers to the Face, and by a little Aggravation to the Features to change it into the Saracen's Head. I should not have known this Story had not the Inn-keeper, upon Sir ROGER'S alighting, told him in my Hearing, That his Honour's Head was brought back last Night with the Alterations that he had ordered to be made in it.
"Eh, Mr George; be that you?" said the old woman, who came out to swing back for them the broken gate. "A sight of you is good for sair een." It was the same welcome that the inn-keeper had given him, and equally sincere. George had never made himself popular about the place, but he was the heir. "I suppose you had better go into the drawing-room," said Kate; "while I go to my grandfather.
I claim to be able to tell from the general expression of an inn, commencing at the chimney-top and ending at the steps of the front door, exactly what sort of cheer is to be had within whether the family are happily bound together in bonds of affection; how often the landlord indulges in a bout of hard drinking; and the state of control under which he is kept by the female head of the establishment; nay, I can almost guess, from the general aspect of the house, the exact weight and digestive capacity of mine host; for if the inn promise well for the creature comforts, so will the inn-keeper.
He went into the alley where Martin Bouvin's little inn was and asked shelter for the night. "I go away to-morrow," he said, "and there is no returning to that place for hours to come." "H'm!" said the inn-keeper. "What really happened?" Alan explained. "My faith," commented Bouvin, decanting some wine into his guest's cup, "you are well rid of that fellow.
The inn-keeper having added that he had arranged for our accommodation at another hotel....very good, though of second grade....and run by one of his relatives, my father simply asked Capt. Gault to tell the postilion to take us there.
