Abstract
- It came into my mind that I would recal in these notes a few of the many hostelries I have rested at in the course of my journeys; and, indeed, I had taken up my pen for the purpose, when I was baffled by an accidental circumstance. It was the having to leave off, to wish the owner of a certain bright face that looked in at my door, “many happy returns of the day.” Thereupon a new thought came into my mind, driving its predecessor out, and I began to recal—instead of Inns—the birthdays that I have put up at, on my way to this present sheet of paper.
