He was disappointed.
When he returned to the hotel the landlord was asleep in the chair before the door.

He arose with a yawn, rubbed his eyes, and led the way into the office where a dingy kerosene lamp was burning dimly.

He stretched his arms as he looked at the clock that stood above the dusty pigeon holes back of the desk.
"'Leven o'clock!" he yawned.

"I must have been asleep two hours.

Guess you'll want to get right up to bed, won't you?
I reckon you found out Kilo don't want no books this trip, Sammy; an' if you want to git an early start from town you'll need all the sleep you can get." Eliph' tossed his package on the desk carelessly.
"Why, yes, Jim, I wish you WOULD call me early," he said.
