Meanwhile there arrived at the hostelry a traveller on horseback with three or four servants, one of whom said to him who appeared to be the master, "Here, Senor Don Alvaro Tarfe, your worship may take your siesta to-day; the quarters seem clean and cool."
But, after this unhappy occurrence, which I do not wish to dwell on longer, is it not time to return to the inn, there to drink, in company with the postboys, who are simpleminded and of easy intercourse, one or more bottles of country wine?" I quite agreed, and we soon reached the hostelry, where we found M. d'Anquetil, who, returning like ourselves from the town, had brought some playing cards.
He went over to his dressing-case and took out a shining nickel-plated revolver. Tiptoeing cautiously into his sister's room he gently kissed the tear-stained face. Then he went out very softly and called for a cab. In the ordinary of the vast hostelry he found Douglass sitting on an easy-chair, staring into vacancy.
The noise of it filled the hostelry. "Sir," said Garnache, with an ever-increasing tartness, "there is a by-word has it 'Much laughter, little wit. In confidence won, is that your case, monsieur?" The other looked at him soberly a moment, then went off again. "Monsieur, monsieur!" he gasped, "you'll be the death of me. For the love of Heaven look less fierce. Is it my fault that I must laugh?
Reunion House was, I may go the length of saying, a humble hostelry. You entered through a long bar-room, thence passed into a little dining-room, and thence into a still smaller kitchen. The furniture was of the plainest; but the bar was hung in the American taste, with encouraging and hospitable mottoes.
It was a bright, clean, little town, but there were few signs of trade in it, and Spargo had been quick to notice that in the "Yellow Dragon," a big, rambling old hostelry, reminiscent of the old coaching days, there seemed to be little doing.
The weather was just as clear as the previous day. I had heard once before that when travelling, one should give "tea money" to the hotel or inn where he stops; that unless this "tea money" is given, the hostelry would accord him rather rough treatment. It must have been on account of my being slow in the fork over of this "tea money" that they had huddled me into such a narrow, dark room.
At night he would not doff his armour, but slept beside his horse; and seldom spoke, but was consumed as by a great fire of anger. And on the fourteenth day they rode into London. 'Go beg the queen to see me, he said to Sir Bors. Sir Bors went, and Sir Lancelot strode unto an hostelry to wash from himself the stains of travel, and to don a fitting robe in which to appear before the queen.
The mob was slowly wedging itself into one of the streets before an inn, and just at the doors of that hostelry the noise was loudest and most threatening. Presently came a crash. The building had been entered. Instantly there were shouts and cries, and the throng seemed fairly to boil with anger.
"I do not know your purpose," he said, "but I fear a trap has been set for you." "A trap!" Harriet exclaimed. "Why do you think so, Martin?" Barbara asked. Fairley told her how he had followed Sir John to the hostelry in the Haymarket. "You see, mistress, he knew where you would hire. He went direct to this place and made his inquiries as though he knew beforehand what answers he would receive.
