Any one of those mammoth low-brows at the door could eat him, armour and all. He resumed his meal, uneasy but resigned. Dinner at Earl Dorm's was no lunch-counter scuffle. It started early and finished late. It was not till an advanced hour that Agravaine was conducted to his room. The room which had been allotted to him was high up in the eastern tower.
From this it would appear that too many signals are quite as objectionable at railway-stations as not signals enough.
