- “Excuse me,” he said, “but is there a fairly cheap hotel not too far away from here?”
- “Try The Bell and Dragon.They might take you in. It’s about a quarter of a mile along on the other side.”
- Billy caught sight of a printed notice. It said BED AND BREAKFAST. He stopped walking. He pressed the bell. Far away in a back room he heard it ringing, it must have been at once because he hadn’t even had time to take his finger from the bell button—the door swung open and a woman was standing there.
- "Please come in."
- “Very well, then. I’ll leave you now so that you can unpack. Would you be kind enough to pop into the sitting room on the ground floor and sign the book? Everyone has to do that because it’s the law of the land."
- Billy started sipping his tea. She did the same. For half a minute or so, neither of them spoke. But Billy knew that she was looking at him.

- "Excuse my asking, but haven’t there been any other guests here except them in the last two or three years?”
- “No, my dear. Only you."
