A LOSS.
I got down to Yarmouth in the evening, and went to the inn.

I knew that Peggotty's spare room--my room--was likely to have occupation enough in a little while, if that great Visitor, before whose presence all the living must give place, were not already in the house; so I betook myself to the inn, and dined there, and engaged my bed.
It was ten o'clock when I went out.

Many of the shops were shut, and the town was dull.

When I came to Omer and Joram's, I found the shutters up, but the shop door standing open.
