| pubOne.info present you this new edition. . . . I quitted the",Rose Cottage Hotel", at Richmond, one of the comfortablest, quietest, cheapest, neatest little inns in England, and a thousand times preferable, in my opinion, to the",Star and Garter,", whither, if you go alone, a sneering waiter, with his hair curled, frightens you off the premises, and where, if you are bold enough to brave the sneering waiter, you have to pay ten shillings for a bottle of claret, and whence, if you look out of the window, you gaze on a view which is so rich that it seems to knock you down with its splendor- a view that has its hair curled like the swaggering waiter: I say, I quitted the",Rose Cottage Hotel", with deep regret, believing that I should see nothing so pleasant as its gardens, and its veal cutlets, and its dear little bowling-green, elsewhere. But the time comes when people must go out of town, and so I got on the top of the omnibus, and the carpet-bag was put inside. |
