"Hullo, there! Hostler! Hullo-o-o!" "My dear! why don''t you look for the bell?" "I have looked--there is no bell." "And nobody in the yard. How very extraordinary! Call again, dear." "Hostler! Hullo, there! Hostler-r-r!" My second call echoes through empty space, and rouses nobody--produces, in short, no visible result. I am at the end of my resources--I don''t know what to say or what to do next. Here I stand in the solitary inn yard of a strange town, with two horses to hold, and a lady to take care of. By way of adding to my responsibilities, it so happens that one of the horses is dead lame, and that the lady is my wife. Intuitive navigation. . Text annotation and mark-up. . more...
