"Pray take this fly," said the flower of chivalry. "I am not leaving till the next train." Aunt Celia got in without a murmur; I sneaked in after her. I don't think she looked at him, though she did vouchsafe the remark that he seemed to be a civil sort of person. At Bristol, I was walking about by myself, and I espied a sign, "Martha Huggins, Licensed Victualer."
About 1582 he increased his wealth by marriage, and commenced business as a merchant in London. His large amount of ready money a commodity especially scarce in those days soon enabled him to carry on very large commercial operations; and amongst other sources of wealth he probably derived considerable profit from his office of victualer of the navy.
It was a nice, tidy little shop, with a fire on the hearth and flowers in the window, and, as it was raining smartly, I thought no one would catch me if I stepped inside to chat with Martha. I fancied it would be so delightful and Dickensy to talk quietly with a licensed victualer by the name of Martha Huggins. Just after I had settled myself, the flower of chivalry came in and ordered ale.
Fairies are important, even in a statistical view: certain weeds mark poverty in the soil; fairies mark its solitude. As surely as the wolf retires before cities does the fairy sequester herself from the haunts of the licensed victualer. A village is too much for her nervous delicacy; at most, she can tolerate a distant view of a hamlet.
