All merchants, and even all inn-keepers, are trusted with keeping themselves the account of the goods which they sell, either within or without the territory.
It is in the nature of innkeepers and all men who have no pressing business of their own to ask as many questions as possible before giving any information.
Arthur was impressed because, though she reported these rumours with mock scepticism as the stories of ignorant yokels and old women, the innkeeper had evidently a terrified belief in their truth.
The proprietor of the inn took me into the village to gamble, and upon passing the corner of a street I saw a man carrying two buckets on a pole over his shoulder.
So, your dream was the dream… your dream was that you're a character in your recurring dream or a person… in your recurring dreams, you're a innkeeper, Dick Loudon, and you're married to Joanne.
