Synopsis
A young boy of seventeen years old, Billy weaver, walking alone to find out a lodging house and someone pointed to The Bell and Dragon. Suddenly, in a downstairs window, he caught sight of a printed notice, it said BED AND BREAKFAST. He came closer into the room, and the first thing he saw was a bright fire burning in the hearth and some pets. He pressed the bell, the door swung open and a dame, the landlady, was standing there. The dame, a kind landlady, asked him to sign the book in the sitting-room before going to bed. He found two famous names which he had heard before, they used to be his classmate. One is Gregory W.Temple which noticed the last entry is over two years old. Another one is Christopher Mulholland’s is nearly a year before that. Giving another gentle little smile, the landlady stated that the only those two guests had visited her lodging house in the last two or three years, and the last is Billy himself, a friend of her son Mulholland.
