An astonished innkeeper, whose morning attire apparently consisted of trousers, shirt, and spectacles, ushered him into a bare room with a trestle table.

Guy produced his phrase book.
"Hungry!" he said vociferously.

"Want to eat! Coffee!" The man appeared to understand, but in case there should have been any mistake Guy followed him into the kitchen.

The driver, who had lost no time, was already there, with a long glass of beer before him.

Guy produced a mark, laid it on the table, touched himself, the innkeeper, and the driver, and pointed to the beer.
