You won't tell me what you charge?
Very well; I will do without! I can trust you! You don't seem to know when you have a good lodger; but I know perfectly when I have an honest landlady! Rowley, unstrap the valises!' Will it be credited?
The monomaniac fell to rating me for my indiscretion! But the battle was over; these were her last guns, and more in the nature of a salute than of renewed hostilities.

And presently she condescended on very moderate terms, and Rowley and I were able to escape in quest of supper.

Much time had, however, been lost; the sun was long down, the lamps glimmered along the streets, and the voice of a watchman already resounded in the neighbouring Leith Road.

On our first arrival I had observed a place of entertainment not far off, in a street behind the Register House.

Thither we found our way, and sat down to a late dinner alone.
