Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works of Tobias Smollett, M.D, Vol. 5 of 6: With Memoirs of His Life and Writings; Containing the Adventures of Sir Launcelot Greaves, and Travels Through France and Italy It was on the great northern road from York to London, about the beginning of the month of October, and the hour of eight in the evening, that four travellers were, by a violent shower of rain, driven for shelter into a little public-house on the side of the high way, distinguished by a sign which was said to exhibit the figure of a black lion. The kitchen, in which they assembled, was the only room for entertainment in the house, paved with red bricks, remark ably clean, furnished with three or four Windsor chairs, adorned with shining plates of pewter, and copper sauce pans nicely scoured, that even dazzled the eyes of the be holder; while a cheerful fire of sea-coal blazed in the chimney. Three of the travellers, who arrived on horseback, having seen their cattle properly accommodated in the stable, agreed to pass the time, until the weather should clear up, over a bowl of rumbo, which was accordingly prepared; but the fourth, refusing to join their company, took his station at the opposite side of the chimney, and called for a pint of twopenny, with which he indulged himself apart.
