Arthur; and thought to himself, "I suppose the fellow wants me to
patronize him;" and he entered the house. A card was already in the
front windows, proclaiming that apartments were to be let, and having

though but for a brief visit, and having left some fellow-travelers at
an hotel to which he had conveyed them from the West, he hastened to

stands in lieu of sunshine in Chambers; and Templars grumble, but take
their ease in their Inn.
